A/N : Title will be changed from [Start of the slaughter] to [Mana recovery.]

***

After pacing around and gazing at the doors to the rooms for a while, Exilion suddenly halted.

"Strange…"

He muttered as he walked toward one of the rooms and placed his hand on the door.

Sensing that there was only a person inside, he slowly let go.

"Nothing."

Not too long ago, he felt a strange fluctuation coming from that room, but he didn't see anything strange when he checked it out.

"...There's a good chance I'm overthinking this."

Folding his wings behind his back, Exilion continued to pace around the rooms. Another room soon caught his eye as he walked.

Walking up to it and placing his hand over it, a smile cracked on his face.

"It looks like he won't last for long."

Feeling the weak heartbeat of the human inside, Exilion knew that he was almost as good as dead.

"...Should I tell them of his death, or pretend he didn't die and tell them that they will only be able to see him at the end of the month once the work is completed...imagining the look on their faces when they realize they have been fooled...keke."

Exilion chuckled out loud.

The more he thought about the faces that humans would make when they learned that their comrade had died, the more his face twisted.

"What's so funny?"

Another voice echoed at that moment, and a demon slowly walked toward Exilion. He was Impedus. The other demon in charge of overlooking the cells.

"Nothing, nothing."

Waving his hand at Impedus, Exilion stopped smiling and leaned against the side of the wall.

"Judging from your reaction, I don't think it's nothing."

"Well, it's nothing big."

Knock—! Knock—!

As he knocked on the door next to him, Exilion gave him a brief overview of what he thought.

"He's about to die, and I was just thinking of how I could mess with the other humans."

"Oh?"

A smile cracked on Impedius's face as he showed an impressed look.

"You call that nothing? It sounds a lot more entertaining than the other things I'm doing."

"Keke. That's probably because you're soon going to be promoted. You don't have much time to think of these trivial matters as you used to in the past."

SHIIIING—!

A bright light appeared on Impedius' lower waist just as he was about to reply, and the two demons changed their faces.

'An emergency!'

They both simultaneously thought as Impedius took out a small black orb from his waist and casually crushed it in his hand.

Crack!

Moments after the orb was crushed, purple flames rose in the air, and a series of words manifested in front of the two demons.
