Chapter 5: Satanic Cult

The magic realm is the name for the society that all supernatural beings belong to. Satan is one of the many demons known throughout the magic realm. As a demon spirit, belief and time has made him one of the most powerful creatures.

Of course, the regular masses don't know that, and so do most of the Satanic Cults that worship him.

There's a reason to why I'm talking about such a rare spirit any dark mage would contract with. As the kidnappers drive, I notice their discussion was successful on getting their first sacrifice for lord Satan. Checking them out, I realized that they had no contact with anything mana related other than me. This is a skill called [Mana Pulse]. At mastery, people can sense anything around them depending on their mana. And I mean everything, including the small particles and even supernatural traces.

Basically, they have no connection with the Satan I know. That's good, cause if that guy caused trouble again, I swear I'm gonna call some of my priest friends to his house. Listening to them, basically this is what happened.

They're happy that they successfully kidnapped the daughter of some rich family, and that apparently they have a leader posing as Satan and has proven himself by creating some miracles. Apparently the papers they threw were actually a message saying how Satan is the one true god. Man, I wish I have one of those papers. That would be perfect blackmail material for Satan, or at least it'll be a source for laughs.

Also they left a message for the rest of the family to go to a certain location. It seems that their leader wished so, making me suspect that the leader just had some bad blood with the family.

This doesn't look very thought out, so I probably don't even need to interfere as the police could handle it safely. But as a good friend to Satan, I'll torture the fake worshipper. Maybe I can get some of the light goes to help, but then again it would be faster alone.

Entering an abandoned warehouse, I saw the supposed leader. He was a fat man with a permanent lewd expression on his face. He was currently looking at the bag with the girl in it, so I guess he's a pedo.

They talked for a bit, then dressed in some weird robes and did many chunni ceremonies. All while I was recording to show to my good friend later when we have tea.

When the child woke up, she started screaming, but went quiet when they threatened to kill her. Honestly at that point I felt that I should do something, but they didn't physically hurt her yet.

After an hour or so, the police surrounded the place. The fat man was barely worried as he had a hostage and had a slight advantage of territory.

Another few minutes pass and three people come in. Two adults, a male and a female, as well as a teenage girl came in. Hmm, I feel like I've seen them before, but oh well.

"Let go of my daughter," shouted the man who I presumed to be the father. "We came alone just like you ask," which was bullshit as I can sense several people closing in on the kidnappers.

"Satan likes the blood of virgins. We either kill one of your girls, or you can have her in exchange for the older one."

The parents start having a pale face when the teen went forward. "Take me, just let my sister go."

With an even more lewd smile, the fat man said, "Satan accepts the offering. Come over here, then we'll release your sister."

Ignoring her parents, she walked right up to them where she was quickly bounded by the three lackeys.

"Thank you, now we have two offerings to give to Lord Satan."

"WHAT! You said you would let my sister go!"

"Satan doesn't keep his promises. Now come to the sacred altar where I will offer your virginity up to my lord."

God these pigs are disgusting. Not only do they easily break their promises, kidnap women, and boldly announce that they will rape someone right in front of their parents, but they even made me lose face. All of my summon's reputation are connected to me, so ridiculing Satan is basically sullying my reputation.

Using a time field, everyone close to me (victim's family and kidnappers) fell under my power.

A time field is a power granted to all supernatural beings. Those who train supernatural powers all learn about the time field first. It creates a sort of illusion that makes people view something else. For example, I use a time field on me and kill someone with a fireball spell. If anyone saw me, they would probably think I used a flamethrower instead.

When I used the time field, I started chanting the activation key to the summoning spell. HERE COMES SATAN!

A magic circle appeared from the altar where I set my target. Coming from the altar was a black wisp that emoted large amounts of a baleful aura. Forming into a man, what appeared was a devilishly handsome man with bad boy looks and a mischievous smile that would steal many innocent hearts.

"Wow, how long has it been since you called me Rhythm? Was it 8 months ago?"

"Actually it was a few weeks ago, don't forget about when you forcefully summoned yourself to watch a rerun of Attack on Titans."

"Meh, I can't help it. The Titans are like a mirror image to me. So why'd you call me this time?"

"Look around you, then watch this video."

Taking a while to watch the video, I noticed the reactions of others. The family seemed shock at both of our appearances (by the way, I turned off the invisibility function of my robe but kept the Blurred Face illusion active). The lackeys seemed like they were in prayer as their God has actually defended, while their leader finally showed an expression different from his usual lewd face. The girls next to him were watching me probably wondering where I came from.

"Oh god, this is embarrassing. No wait, I'm a devil so that lease shouldn't be used. Basically I'm mortified at what is being done in my name." Turning to the two girls, he bowed and apologized. "I'm sorry for the terrible experience you had to go to. I will compensate you with all of my power." Turning to the kidnappers he said, "...but first, let me educate these supposed followers of mine. Hmm, it looks like three of them are devout so I'll take them." Waving his hand, the three praying goons disappear. Turning to the last man, he just shouted "TORTURE TIME!" and an iron maiden torture device appeared and ate the man up. The torture device sank into the ground swallowing up the altar with it.

"And that should take care of that. Again, I apologize for this so if you ever need a favor, here's my master's phone number. Call him if you need help. Also, I suggest that you don't mention what happened now as the surrounding police will not remember much of what happened."

Taking the card, the older girl said, "t-th-thank you."

Seeing as he was done, I used [Blink] to take us out of here. I also removed the time field as there was no need to keep it up. Teleporting outside the building, I talked to Satan.

"So why did you give them my phone number. You know that that number is worth a fortune in our world."

"Eh, oh yeah. At the time, I remembered how you were an antisocial brat and devised a way to indirectly have a girl come into contact with you. You should be thanking me."

Punching him in the gut, I left him wheezing on the ground while I spoke. "I am not antisocial and I do not want to interact with people who are not related to our world."

"See, a perfect example of your loneliness."

Ignoring him, I see the family exit and I finally remember. The older girl was a girl from my school. Aw shit, if she tells starts talking to me at school, it'll look strange to others. Oh well, she probably didn't even recognize me with the Blurred Face illusion.

Leaving the area, I totally forgot to go to the market until I was already inside my house. Oh well, I'll go tomorrow.

"Hey boss, so I hear that you started playing another VR recently. Can I join the game?"

"Fine, but later. I have a way for you to bring your real demon form into the game."

"Really! Thanks boss. Well, I gotta go. See ya later boss."

Seeing Satan disappear, I went to the VR Machine and once again entered the world of New World.
