Became a Demon with Pregnancy System-Chapter 159: King of Darkness

"You must have used that power to save someone before."

Luke realized something.

"And that’s how you exposed your secret."

Elias’ eyes dimmed.

It was obvious that Luke had hit the truth.

Elias’ village was located in Thalindor.

A land filled with secrets, ancient creatures, and uncharted territories.

If the village hid a powerful undead-controlling Gu worm, it was no surprise that greedy outsiders had tried to steal it.

"I failed my grandfather..."

Elias whispered, tears forming in his eyes.

Luke placed a hand on his shoulder. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"It’s okay. I’m here."

"When are you planning to return to Thalindor?"

"Tell me, and I’ll go with you."

Luke then turned to Perola and Laura Adams.

"I can’t stay in Arcadia forever.

"So watch over Elias for the next two months."

"Sure."

Before Perola could refuse, Laura nodded.

"Laura, why did you agree so fast?!" Perola groaned.

"Because he is the Miss’ man. It’s our duty."

Laura smirked.

Perola crossed her arms. "Tch. Whatever."

Luke grinned.

"Thanks. I’ll repay you both well in the future."

After all, whether he liked it or not—

He was bound to become the King of Darkness.

"Luke, what happened? We saw your flames."

Tanya Reed’s shadow magic made her the first to arrive at the scene.

"It’s nothing—just a few idiots who didn’t know their place. I’ve already taken care of it," Luke waved his hand casually.

Since he had promised Elias Vaughn, he couldn’t reveal the details.

The special Gu worm from Elias’ village was undoubtedly high-quality, capable of controlling undead creatures at the Commander-level.

But considering the organization behind these insect warriors, that type of Gu worm might even be capable of controlling a Monarch-level undead.

If someone could control a mountain-sized corpse from the Abyss, even for a few minutes, it would be a game-changer for any faction.

"If someone could research and manipulate Khufu’s corpse, now that would be something," Luke chuckled to himself.

Of course, that was just a wild fantasy.

To control an Emperor-level undead, you’d need an Emperor-level Gu worm.

"Luke, what’s going on?"

Bella White, Marissa Jones, Hazel Ross, and a few other girls arrived, looking concerned.

"It’s nothing. Let’s just go have fun."

Luke smiled.

"Tina, Elias—I’ll stick with you two for now."

The insect enemies clearly wanted to stall him and kidnap Elias, which meant they couldn’t deal with him directly.

Since their last attack failed, their operation was likely over—for now.

Luke’s main concern was simply to avoid another disgusting ambush.

"Are you really okay?"

Bella White frowned, sensing something wasn’t right.

Last time, when they were in Demon Capital, she and Luke had fought Lucas White, another insect warrior.

"It’s fine—it’s handled," Luke reassured her with a smile.

Seeing his calm demeanor, the girls relaxed.

After all, very few forces in this world could truly trouble Luke.

"Bella, come on! I still haven’t tried on that dress—I want to check it out again!"

"Hazel, you’ve developed again lately. We should get you a plus-size version!"

With that, the group of women vanished back into the shopping district, kicking off a shopping spree.

Luke shook his head.

A true battlefield.

"Tina, Elias—you two go ahead. I have a phone call to take."

Luke glanced at his phone notes—Professor Xavier was calling.

"Alright," Tina and Elias nodded, before heading off to browse more shops.

"Hey, Professor Xavier... what’s the occasion?"

Luke answered in a relaxed tone.

"Luke, how’s life as a tutor at Celestial Academy? Enjoying the change of pace?"

Professor Xavier chuckled.

Luke turned his gaze to the scenery around him—

Hazel hovering with her elven wings,

Tanya wearing a gorgeous cheongsam,

If Lenora Quinn wasn’t away on a mission, things would be even better.

"It’s quite different," Luke admitted with a grin.

Celestial Academy had its own charm.

"Good, good. That means your practice experience wasn’t wasted."

Professor Xavier chuckled.

"But your time here is coming to an end. How about we send you somewhere new?"

Luke sighed dramatically.

"Let me guess—Imperial Capital Academy?"

Professor Xavier paused.

"How... did you know?"

Even he had just received the confirmation.

Luke smirked.

"In Skandia, besides Pearl Academy and Celestial Academy, the only other notable institution that would be ’worthy of my experience’ is Imperial Capital Academy."

Professor Xavier laughed loudly.

"Good, good! You’re still as sharp as ever."

"But this time, I don’t want you going as a full-time tutor."

"I want you to lead Pearl Academy’s team for a friendly exchange match at Imperial Capital Academy."

"You understand what I mean, right?"

Luke chuckled.

"Ah, I get it.

If I beat up students, I’m a student.

If I beat up teachers, I’m a teacher."

Professor Xavier burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Exactly!"

For years, Imperial Capital Academy had held the top ranking.

Pearl Academy? Always second place.

This year, Professor Xavier wanted to change that.

And with Luke leading the charge, it wasn’t just wishful thinking.

Even if he had to face their instructors, Luke could crush them with ease.

"Got it. I’ll talk to the team."

Normally, Luke wouldn’t care about something like this.

Bullying students? Boring.

But Imperial Capital Academy had Monica Winters.

The so-called ’Ice Elf’.

People in wuxia circles called her ’Little Eris Tuft’.

Since Eris herself was currently in the Tianshan Mountains, out of Luke’s reach—

Might as well start with Monica Winters.

"Then it’s settled. Go straight from Arcadia to the Imperial Capital tomorrow."

"Oh, and Nate Dawson is also in Arcadia. Bring him with you."

With that, Professor Xavier hung up.

Luke, Nate Dawson, Marissa Jones, Bella White, and Rachel White—

That was the core team.

Fatty Logan Quinn would probably send a few extra people, but this was the exchange competition’s main lineup.

"Leaving tomorrow, huh?"

Luke murmured.

For now, he had a few more hours before the girls finished their shopping spree.

He glanced at the shopping list—

It was ten meters long.

Luke fell into deep thought.
