Allen looked at me while trembling in fear before answering me thoroughly.

"I don't know why you don't remember your past, but… You were known as the Dark Witch. Wherever you went, you spread misfortune everywhere… Although most of it ended being plots made by aristocrats and enemies of your family… I-I myself ended colluding with them, and with their help, we apprehended you and used your death as a way to take ahold of the masses… I-I had no other option! If I didn't cooperate, they would have targeted my family and me!"

So it was like that! My death was orchestrated as a way to gain a grasp over the population of this rotten place?

"Are those aristocrats of this Duchy?"

"T-There are some…." Allen said.

"And who was the one that pulled the trigger for the guillotine?" I asked.

"T-That was a random soldier… He was paid to do it…."

Ugh, what a pain, now I have to look for this random guy…

Well, I'm fine with just killing those behind this.

"Who are all the aristocrats involved in this? Answer thoroughly, or you'll become the food for my cat!" I said as Kuro roared like a fierce panther.

"GROAR!"

"Gyyeeehh! O-Okay! I'll tell you! Just don't kill me!"

Allen was a very detailed and helpful man. He even wrote down an entire list of all those involved in it, where they lived, the name of their families, and even what they worked in! Such a nice man, honestly!

He gave me the papers, and I saved them in my Inventory. I also stole all the money he had, which were millions of gold coins, alongside his books and a lot of other things I took a liking to. The man was becoming more and more nervous as he saw how I was throwing everything inside my inventory.

"Y-You… Have you mastered spatial magic?!" Allen asked.

"Erm… Yeah!" I responded.

And after we were done…

"Now, you've been such a nice boy… I guess I should forgive your life," I said.

"Hahh… T-Thank you…" Allen sighed in relief.

I had decided not to kill him, so we slowly walked away.

Joking!

"GYEEH?!"

We stopped moving as Lucifer moved at an incredible speed, grasping the man's neck. He had no way to counter such a powerful servant as Lucifer, and even as he tried to fight back by throwing a water bullet…

SPLASH!

But that only wet Lucifer's clothes.

I guess he wasn't good at magic.

Lucifer lifted him off the floor, glaring at him with eyes filled to the brim with scorn.

"I have a grudge with you humans, specifically you, the descendants of those that lived here… Your ancestors took our young and even the Demon King's daughter. You filthy and dishonorable race of monkeys! I have nothing but scorn against you humans…" He confessed.

"Geehggh…! W-What are you talking abouttt?!" Allen cried out.

"Eh? What happened?" I asked to Lucifer, I wanted to know more.

"…"

However, Lucifer fell silent, as he didn't answer. I guess he doesn't want to tell me.

"Alright, kill him," I said.

He smiled maliciously before his face suddenly began to shapeshift into the monstrous jaws of a dragon.

Allen glanced at the abyssal maws of Lucifer filling his being with fear.

"W-Wait! WAAAAIIITTT!"

"I will feast on your flesh and blood!" Laughed Lucifer as he… ate the entire Duke in a single bite.

CRUNCH!

"GRYYEEREGGEGHHH…!"

His last agonizing cry was heard inside of Lucifer's jaws as he used his sharp teeth to triturate his entire body while he was alive.

After a few bites, he crushed him into minced meat and swallowed it all… Afterward, he turned back to his humanoid form.

"Ugh, such a disgusting taste," He muttered.

"Well, that was something! I was planning on killing him myself, but I guess you had more joy out of it," I said.

"Indeed… It did feel good. Now, what shall we do? Do you want to go on a hunt?" asked Lucifer, cleaning the blood off his lips.

He looked sexy; I have to admit it.

I saw the Duke's soul wandering in the room though, he seemed horrified and traumatized by his death.

However, he couldn't speak as he seemed to have become something akin to a zombie.

"Here's his soul. Want to eat it?" I asked.

"No, eating a soul is a taboo- EH?!"

I grabbed the Duke's soul and slurped it like a noodle.

"GGYYAAAGH!"

And he was gone!

"Taboo?" I asked.

Ding!

[You have learned the [Soul Eater: Lv1] Skill]

[You have acquired the [Taboo Mark: Lv--] Title Skill]

"Never mind, I guess such beliefs don't apply to monsters," Lucifer said.

Ding!

[You've gained 1500 EXP!]

[EXP: [2656/2600]

[Your level has increased from level 17 to level 18!]

Eh? I even got EXP and two Skills from eating this bastard? Nice, a double prize!

And… ugh.

I think I got his memories.

So annoying…

I moved them away and archived them as folders into my mind, so they wouldn't influence me.

And… done!

He gave me an awful lot of EXP.

I think I got it from when Lucifer killed him, plus eating his soul, so I guess you can get double EXP if you destroy the soul of your enemy as well as his body… Interesting.

[Soul Eater] seems to be a spell of the Death Magic category.

It helps me eat souls and assimilate their components into my own, including powers or even memories.

Of course, he was so talentless that I didn't get many stats out of him, but the EXP was nice… I even leveled up, after all.

"Well, I am ready for it. The night is still quite young. Let's go in a hunt!" I shouted.

"Hmph, very well…."

"Hunt! Hunt!" Partner chanted.

"Mrao!"

After that, I decided to make some Spells that could help me carry them around with me aside from [Summon].

But I realized that my [Shadow Manipulation] could hold things inside, although it wasn't as organized and endless as my Inventory…

And then, with my cheat Supreme Magic…!

Ding!

[You've learned the [Shadow Storage: Lv1] Skill]

Hehehe…!

"Hop in!"

Everyone jumped into my shadow before I carried them around while I moved in the darkness of the night using [Shadow Sneak].
