《I can cheat? So let's have fun.》Chapter 17: Death is like a cold.

God - I don’t know which one but surely at last one - knows where.
“So it is… what is this place?” Xiodar asked while looking around. He and Kokmal where standing in the world of total whiteness. “Hell? Limbo? Hades? Touristic agency?”
“Dunno. We always called it as being dead.” Kokmal answered. Then he just sat on the floor/ground/whatever. “Now just to wait for a reborn.”
“We have to wait an entire week here?!”
“That is nothing. Wait here for 50 years, then we can talk about it.”
“Ehhh…” Demon sighted. “…And what about that killing me in the hell part?”
“Ah this.” Kokmal stood up and walked closer to him. Then waved his hand through him. “We don’t have bodies. It will just end like this.” As he said that he sat again.
“Oh man!” Xiodar also sat down. “So it was a draw?”
“Between us yes. The thing is, your army probably is exterminating what was left from my.” After a moment he started wondering. “Where you got those monsters?”
“Dhanthanos. And the castle was a treasure.”
“That sick place? What was the Boss?”
“Dragon with five heads.”
“Ehhh… But you have a taming ability? How did you make them listen to you?”
“It started with a little tribe of rapkeys. They saw me like a god or something.”
“One tribe? What is their birth rate?”
“Six eggs per female.”
“What about their mutations?”
“It just happened. After there were a lot of kinds I told them to crossbreed.”
“And the ghouls?”
“I took some of Velhar’s books.”
“I thought I took them all.”
“Did you checked in the throne?”
“! He hid the items there too?!” Kokmal looked shocked.

After a moment Xiodar asked. “What was that bet about?”
Kokmal took a depressed expression. “Dourin bet on that Velhar will be back, Vpierdoll on being replaced and I for nothing to happen.”
“And what was bet about?”
“I don’t know yet.” Then he looked up. “After we back I will just give the territory back to you. Your army is much stronger.”
“Weird thing to say for someone who was raging like a madman.”
“I admit I have some issues with controlling myself. You snapped me after 100 years.”
“Yhm… Now I have someone to manage the territory. The military things can be pushed on Bob or Jael.”
“You don’t take a life too serious, do you?”
“I once tried to live seriously.”
“What happened?”
“The next day I was killed by a meteor.”
*******
Pendragon, throne room.
Black mist gathered around the throne. “I am back! Bring the champagne!” Xiodar shouted as he appeared.
“We don’t have those whatever it is.” Zelenia answered. She is siting by a table with Jael, Bob and Boris. They were playing some kind of card game.
“Fireworks?”
“Weren’t we plan to have this place as a ground base?”
‘The hell?’ Xiodar though as he hit the cultural barrier. “Whatever. What is the status?”
“We already settled down non-soldiers in Dragongrave.” Boris started. “We started some farms, also…”
“We are overpopulated.” Zelenia interrupted. “That place is too small for our people.”
“We have to conquer something.” Boris added.
“Ah. That already is settled.” Xiodar said. The four demons looked at him in confusion. “Kokmal said that fighting with us is pointless. He will give us the territory of Velhar.”
Everyone nodded. That settles things. “By the way. The hell happened to you?” Demon lord asked Jael.

“I hoped you will know.” His face was looking older with some facial hairs. Eyes changed colour from blue to purple and his fingers ended with the claws. But the weirdest thing was a pair of visible fangs… and the second pair behind.
“Eyes should be red and I should have only one pair of fangs. I won’t mention these.” Vampire said while looking at his hands.
“That would be the case if you ate human.” Zelenia said.
“Yeah. My blood probably has more mana. Or calcium.” Demon lord ended.
“So what now?” Bob asked.
“Send some rapkeys to the places we will own, before they arrive they should be empty already.”
“Ehh…Shouldn’t we send some army with them?” Boris asked the Demon lord.
Xiodar wondered. This world is full of monsters. Sending a group of farmers and craftsmans is plain stupid.
“Who we will send? Any ideas?”
“Emmm…” Bob raised hand. “I thought about regrouping the troops.”
“What do you mean?” Demon lord asked.
“We should make groups with different kinds of rapkeys in them. They will be more effective. At last try to put a healer in each troop.” Ghoul explained.
‘He has a point!’ Thought everyone in the room.
Xiodar stand up and get closer to the ex-guard. Then put his hand on his shoulder and said. “Congratulations! You just became a general!”
“Ehh?” Bob was confused like everyone around. ‘I stayed here because nobody wanted to send me down!’
And that was the story of Bob becoming the general of the Demon Lord. The end.

“Sir!”
“What?!”
“There is a call to you.”
“Oh. Thanks Sharyl.”
“No needs. And I would want you to get back to work.”
“Hey! I am the one ruling here!”
“Sir.”
“…Yes?”
“Please let go of the bottle when you are talking to me.”
“…Sorry.”
“Now please go and answer the call.”
“Yeah, Yeah.”
“And what will you do after?”
“…”
“Sir?”
“…I will get back to work.”
“Good.” Sharyl walked away. That was cat beastwoman and Demon lord’
“…” Vpierdoll slowly approached communication stone. “What is it?”
[“Finally! I call to tell you about something!”] Kokmal’s voice sounded through the room.
[“The epic tale of your a*s getting killed?”] Dourin mocked.
[“Yes!... I mean NO!”]
[“So? You called to complain?”]
[“Shut up and listen!”] Kokmal started. [“I was killed by that guy with huge mana pool.”]
“You too?” Vpierdoll remembered the weird demon.
[“Yes. Anyways… He is a Velhar’s replacement.”]
[“Damn it!”]
“Yes!”
[“So… We killed each other and talked when being dead.”]
[“Oh! So what is his specialization?”]
[Guy just have an infinite mana.] Kokmal started explaining things about Xiodar.
“HAHAHA! That it interesting!”
[“Yep. So that’s all. See ya.”] Kokmal quickly said.
[Right! To the next time!] Dourin followed.
“WAIT” Vpierdoll shouted. “You won’t get away that easily!”
[““…Ugh…””] Defeated pair groaned.
“But that can wait!”
[“”Eh?””]
“We have something else to do! HAHAHAHA!”
---------------
Sorry for a shorter one. The next one will be... interesting.
