Hearing the Supreme Sword's voice come out from the necklace laid on the table as well as Blade's response to it, I immediately opened my quest tab.

'As expected…'

Nodding deep inside, I confirmed the little doubt I had, before I even heard the report, the system had already reported by itself, it wasn't just linked to me as it appeared to be.

The plan that was set naturally had the extermination of the demons as well as the protection of the domain as its ultimate goal, but in order to make any big movements to counter what would hit the domain soon, the initiation of the first phase was a must.

The first phase was exactly the quick riddance of all moles that were hidden within the sects and factions, especially the top ones, since just one report from them to the command center of the demons was enough to mess up every chance we had to counter the wave.

Obviously, not all faction heads were convinced by the list of 'Pests' we handed out, especially the Supreme Sword who had two of them at a very high position, so the main point was to let everyone carry out the cleansing himself to understand that real size of the problem as well as be convinced that those who were extremely close to them were not who they thought they were.

Making use of the fact that the wave itself was very soon, it was to be expected that most would react very tensely to just little doubts, thus causing them to reveal themselves quickly in bid to hide it just for a little bit more, showing their own factions heads the proof they needed to cleanly rid themselves of the 'Pests'.

Thankfully, it seemed to have been a great success so far that it didn't even take two days to get down to the end of the list, even to the point that the system itself acknowledged that the first step was truly complete even before the meeting for the next step had commenced.

'It would have been better if the reward was handed out already…'

It was a bit disappointing to not get anything after receiving an accomplishment notif, especially since every bit of new power would have helped with what was coming next, but it couldn't be helped.

After all, even though the second objective only appeared to be about revealing the truth of the demons, it seemed like it required the complete handling of the demons, otherwise taking care of the moles wouldn't just be considered as a first step.

However, it seemed like I was a bit too quick to announce that I received nothing from this whole thing…

"Sigh… To think all of that happened under our eyes like this, I'm quite thankful for young Lan's help, please relay my thanks to your master as well when you do meet him…"

As the Supreme Sword who was the last to return sat back on his chair as he let out a big sigh and thanked me, the second stream of notification appeared before me!

[ You have managed to fool the top masters of the domain to completely believe you! ]

[ You have received the title 'The Fabricator'! ]

[ Achievement 'Lying with a straight face' recorded! ]

'This…'

Ignoring the achievement's awkward name, the acknowledgment of the system, and the fact that it awarded me a title now only meant one thing…

They had completely believed my bullshit background story!

That also asserted the fact that up until now, they had been obviously suspicious of my 'Master' story, but once they went through the meeting with an actual demon seed that they knew long ago, it seemed like they instinctively acknowledged it, thus resulting in me receiving this kind of reward.

[ 'The Fabricator'

Title Effect: - A story made up by you will be more believable to most ]

'Not exactly a great boon, but...'

The title felt somewhat useless for the current situation, but ultimately, it would have its own uses. While I really wasn't a fan of lying, in this game where every simple action can both end or save yourself, it was nice to have some sort of a boost to it, especially in times of war like this. It might have even made things smoother if I had this title a little bit earlier.

"It's nothing, if the demons really managed to swipe over the domain, then even I would be affected, not to mention the normal residents who have no relation with the world of the sects…"

It might be true that one of the reasons I was doing this was to finish my current 'main quest', but the main goal behind it was the eradication of demons. As the main threat to my life in the 'Lost Realm' whether I was planning on staying in the Nature Domain or going to another one, it was very important to uproot the demons for every place possible.

While most of the cannon fodder were mostly muscle-headed brutes, the main top commanders of the demons were likely similar to the first Overseer I met, cunning and insidious, leaving any little trace behind might rise into another major threat from behind. To advance forward, one had to secure his current land, it was basic knowledge when it came to warfare.

"Alright, since we were met with great success, albeit after witnessing the hard cold truth, we should take some time to plan our next move…"

With everyone in place once more, Blade officially started the meeting for the second time, the main act was soon to start...
