What do you mean my cute disciples are Yanderes?
chapter-927

(Brendan POV)

As expected of Master to do such a thing so easily.

Who else could move Emperors and Gods on a simple whim like this?

And who else but Master could create such legendary items with such ease?

Still, to think that Master would also let me have an entire storage ring full of Origin Liquid, it's obvious that He was trying to motivate me.

After seeing senior sister Lian Li ascend, I felt the pressure of reaching ascension as well and might have felt a little bit inferior because of that. Master must have noticed my slump and gave this to me, showing that there was nothing wrong with me and that He would always be able to help me if I sought His guidance.

Truly, Master's generosity knew no bounds, I only wish that I won't disappoint Him in the future.

Right now is not the time or place for such thoughts though. Master has decided to play hero with Cai Hong and even set up such a huge stage for her, so of course I had to concentrate on helping Master by playing my part perfectly.

Guiying was most definitely enjoying this as she 'recounted' on how the demon lord has arisen and threatened the world, pleading with us to go forth and save them. She then brought out our 'war funds' which turned out to be several million gold coins that Master no doubt created just for this.

Yeah, if that goes into circulation, it'll immediately crash the economy. Not to mention the fact that we were already using overpowered gear so was there even a point to having that much money anyway?

Oh well, Master's the real creator of this narrative so I obviously wouldn't say anything.

With Guiying's introduction done, Master snapped His fingers and teleported us back to the beach.

"Alright, now that we have journeyed across the mountains and plains for several days, we have finally arrived to defeat one of the demon lord's four heavenly generals!" Master exclaimed, pointing at a castle made of stone that was most certainly not at the beach before.

"'Bwig' castle, Papa!" Cai Hong squealed. "Bad monster?"

"Yes, there is a bad monster inside we need to defeat! Are you ready?"

"'Yesh', Papa!"

Master gave His patented dazzling smile at her before turning to me with the exact same smile, "What about you, Brendan?"

"Ah… Yes, of course, Master."

"Ah, we're all party members here! You should refer to me by name! You can call me… Jack."

I tried my best not to chuckle, "Yes, of course, Master Jack. Thank you for joining our party."

Master's smile got wider before gesturing towards the castle, "Now let us follow our hero, the one and only Cai Hong, to slay this demon!"

"Yayyyyy~" Cai Hong cheered.

Master pushed open the doors of the castle and, instead of a long winding maze of hallways that I had expected we would need to navigate through, it was just a giant hall with only one occupant inside.

"Muahahaha! You did well coming so far, heroes!" sister Elaria laughed, obviously enjoying her role as one of the villains.

Behind her was a entire army of weird looking machines, all of them looking similar to the ones I remember her using in the previous war. What did she call them? EXOs or something?

The worrying thing was that there were so many behind her that I wasn't sure if they were created by Master or if sister Elaria had created all of them and brought them here herself.

"I am Elariana the First! Best and only Little Sister in the World and first of the Heavenly Generals! You will never defeat me!"

Cai Hong lifted her sword, "Cai Hong will beat you for Papa!"

"Muahaha! You can try, little hero!"

The little dragon swung her sword down and all of the machines behind sister Elaria collapsed immediately. She didn't even hit them with the sword, by the way so obviously this was planned.

What made it more weird was the fact that giant words appeared out of thin air in front of us that read, "Hero Cai Hong attacks! Critical hit! Instant kill! All of Elariana's soldiers are defeated!"

Sister Elaria… I mean, Elariana the First also fell on her knees, going so far as to spit out tomato juice from her mouth and acting like she was hit.

Oh right, I heard that she was into this kind of play before… I think?

"Kuuh… As… As expected of the heroes… You may have defeated me, but you still won't win! I am… Ahem… I AM STILL THE BEST AND ONLY LITTLE SISTER IN THE WORLD!"

Why did she have to shout out the last part?

With her tirade finished, she finally collapsed and started playing dead.

Cai Hong turned back and beamed at Master… Umm… Master Jack, who started to pat her head with His usual smile.

"Well done hero! You have defeated the first Heavenly General! Now we must journey deeper into the demon's territory and confront the second Heavenly General!"

Master Jack then snapped His fingers and the area around us shifted again. This time, instead of the beach, it seemed like we were teleported straight into the chambers of the next Heavenly General.

I'm guessing it's also inside the same castle but in a different area.

Instead of the previous empty, stone halls, this one looked more like an office of sorts with someone seated in a plush leather chair that had its back turned to us.

The chair swivelled around to reveal sister Tsuki smirking devilishly, "I have been expecting you all, heroes chosen by the Gods! I am Tsukirina, BEST AND ONLY LITTLE SISTER IN THE UNIVERSE!!"

Ah… I see why now sister Elaria… I mean… Elariana the First was shouting just now.

"Nuh-uh! I'm the best little sister! Shut up!!" A voice echoed from somewhere in the room which we all ignored.

Tsukirina stood up from the chair, causing it to disperse into nothingness, "Now, it is unfortunate, but I will stop you here, heroes! You shall not pass!!"

Cai Hong raised her sword and swung down with a cute "Hiyaaaah!"

Words appeared in the air again, "Hero Cai Hong attacks! Instant kill! Tsukirina is defeated!"

Tsukirina was more dramatic as she did a few spins before falling on a leather couch that appeared conveniently behind her.

"Noooo… Impossible!" She gasped, not at all looking injured in the slightest.

Cai Hong immediately turned towards Master Jack, "Papa! Papa! Cai Hong win!"

Master Jack responded by patting her head again, "Ahaha, that was wonderful, Cai Hong. Well done."

"Ehehehe~"

We turned our attention back to Tsukirina who was trying to fake a mortal injury by groaning painfully, "Ah… That was a splendid blow, hero, may you save this world of yours! But never forget… I am THE BEST LITTLE SISTER IN THE UNIVERSE!"

"AM NOT!!" Elariana shouted from somewhere unseen.

Tsukirina looked like she was about to get up and argue with Elariana face to face but Master Jack teleported us away before we could see her do that.

The next one to appear before us was a little of a surprise since I didn't think she would agree to play nice with Cai Hong.

"You've finally come, you despicable dra… I mean, hero! I, Lilith, the True Daughter, shall end your journey here!" Lilith growled, glaring at Cai Hong.

In return, Cai Hong was also holding her sword with a grip that suggested she was really going to hit the demoness for real.

"Buuu!! Cai Hong will beat you for Papa!"

Umm… If that sword hits Lilith, would she actually die?

As though listening to my thoughts, Master surprised us by saying, "Hero Cai Hong, let Brendan handle her!"

Eh? Me? I know that's better than Cai Hong killing Lilith but…

Wait… Lilith's glaring at me as though daring me to try and take the chance away from her to fight Cai Hong…

What am I supposed to do?!!
