Chapter 179 : Is the Pressure That High?

Of course, asking for directions normally wouldn’t scare someone that badly.

So…

Milly looked back, tilting her head, a slight smile on her lips.

“How do I get to the Demon King’s castle?”

If it were a normal person, being asked this suddenly, they would just be stunned, and then say they didn’t know. But that man’s first reaction wasn’t confusion. Milly saw it clearly. He was afraid.

It was the instinctive panic of being seen through. Although he quickly calmed down, when Milly asked the question a second time, he couldn’t help but run.

Seriously, was her pressure that high?

She thought demons would have stronger mental fortitude. Just asking for directions to the Demon King’s castle made him drop his drink and run.

However, recalling his appearance, he looked no different from a human. He had hidden his demonic features well, just like Milly, who had retracted her wings and tail into her body.

Alright, time to collect the harvest.

Watching Milly walk out of the tavern, Stacy was speechless. She now understood why the man had run away. After all, as a demon, if someone suddenly ran up to you and asked how to get to the Demon King’s castle, the first reaction would be to run.

But even if he hadn’t run, Milly probably had a way to deal with him.

Thinking this, Stacy left the tavern and followed Milly into the alley. The young man who had fled was convulsing on the ground.

His appearance began to change. Scales appeared on his exposed skin, and his face began to shift into something inhuman.

Was he tearing off his disguise, planning to reveal his true form and fight?

But looking at the demon man, Stacy felt a pang of anxiety. If he hadn’t torn off his disguise, she might not have discovered he was a demon infiltrator. So, among the people she saw, how many were demons in disguise?

Milly, on the other hand, didn’t think so much. She just stepped forward and stomped on his head.

“Hey, Mr. Demon, time to tell me how to get to the Demon King’s castle.”

“You, you…”

He struggled to get up, but his convulsing body wouldn’t allow it. This time, Milly had carefully controlled the intensity of the electricity, not enough to kill him. But he wouldn’t be moving for a while.

“You what?” A blinding spark burst from her fingertip. If this guy didn’t plan to talk, Milly wouldn’t hold back. “Just tell me the direction. It’s simple, right, Mr. Demon?”

“Dream on! The great Demon King will trample Starlight…”

“Boring.”

Milly wasn’t here to listen to his tough talk. Electricity burst from her fingertip. Accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream, another charred corpse lay on the ground.

“Just like that?”

Stacy looked at Milly, bewildered. She had thought that even if he didn’t talk immediately, Milly would use other methods to make him talk, maybe threaten him? Although demons deserved to die, the clue she had found was gone…

Couldn’t she wait a little longer, interrogate him more?

“There are plenty of demons sneaking in. No need to get hung up on one tree.”

Milly waved her hand, no longer looking at the charred corpse on the ground. Speaking of decisive problem-solving, who did she learn it from? It was hard to guess. She wondered how the Stacy in front of her, who gave her such a strong sense of dissonance, had become like that.

Alright, time to find the next demon.

She remembered using her God’s perspective and appraisal skill to check. There was more than one demon nearby. As for the other one…

Milly whipped around, electricity bursting from her fingertip.

The figure that suddenly attacked hadn’t expected Milly to counter. He was fast, and silent. How had she found him?

Although Milly’s defense was fast, it was hasty. At this speed, watch him easily dodg… another scream rang out. Another charred body on the ground. He hadn’t even revealed his demonic form before being electrocuted to a crisp.

She hadn’t controlled her strength. She would be careful next time.

But since he dared to ambush her, he deserved it.

Anyway, there must be more than one or two demons in the city. Even if she killed them all without getting the location of the Demon King’s castle, Milly wasn’t afraid. She could just go to the front lines. There were plenty of demons there. She would just grab one to lead the way.

But the human-shaped charred corpses were a bit unsightly. It wouldn’t be good if people misunderstood. Thinking this, a spark danced on Milly’s fingertip, striking the charred corpses accurately, turning them to ash and scattering them in the wind.

Problem solved. She activated her God’s perspective and checked again with her appraisal skill. News traveled fast. The moment this one was insta-killed, the remaining demon had left the range of her God’s perspective.

He ran fast. Milly was curious how he had noticed the situation here and reacted so quickly.

And judging by the demons she had encountered, they seemed a bit weak. Well, it was newbie difficulty, far from the intensity of her own file, where she fought high-level battles every day and got wiped on the floor.

Milly thought indignantly about the gap between the two files. In short, she was in a bad mood. The next demon she met had better be obedient.

Stacy followed Milly silently, dumbfounded by the situation. This was completely different from the hero she had imagined. She had thought the hero would need her guidance, need to experience many things to grow.

But the Milly before her seemed to need none of that. After all, she already had the idea of attacking the Demon King’s castle directly.

“What kind of hero did the Goddess choose…” Stacy muttered in her heart. But looking at Milly’s back, she also felt a sense of conviction. “Maybe with her, humanity really has a chance.”

She continued to follow Milly, watching her stop and go, catching infiltrating demons. But those demons were uncooperative. Either shouting that the Demon King would trample Starlight City for revenge, or refusing to reveal a single word even in death.

Clearly, Milly’s patience was limited. She sent them on their way before they could finish speaking.

“Now, Milly, we…”

“Keep looking. Someone will be willing to talk.”

“Hahaha…”

Stacy knew that whatever she said now would be useless. She could only continue to follow Milly. Just then, Milly suddenly walked toward the slums. It was a chaotic place with poor security. If demons chose to hide here, it would be the most suitable place.

“Are there demons here too?”

“Yes, and quite a few.”

Hearing Milly say there were quite a few, Stacy’s heart skipped a beat. Starlight City must have been infiltrated like a sieve. How did these demons get in?

Just then, Milly arrived in front of a dilapidated house and kicked the door open.
