Suddenly, Gogo gets down from my shoulder and walks toward the corpses of the beasts, devouring their flesh one by one. Seeing this, Commander Lolan’s eyes widen in shock.
“Is t-that a Demon-rank beast?” He mutters, unable to close his mouth.
“That’s my master’s pet…” Stella explains, filling Commander Lolan in.
“A demon-rank beast as a pet? Sigh, just what more can I expect from him. Even the strongest dragon couldn’t tame a Demon-rank beast,” Commander Lolan mutters in disbelief.
“Well, that’s because my master is the strongest!” Stella retorts with pride.
Commander Lolan doesn’t say anything and simply shakes his head, still in awe of the companions I have by my side. After Gogo finishes eating the corpses of the beasts, he walks toward me slowly as if he overfed himself before finally climbing back onto my shoulder.
“Uwa~” He lets out a small voice and burps. From a glance, one can’t tell that he is a Demon-rank beast because of his humanoid figure. Furthermore, he is wearing a black pant and a red T-shirt that Stella got for him. What’s more surprising about these clothes is that they could stretch to any size in case Gogo decided to transform into a bigger form.
“You’re okay, right?” I ask Gogo, concerned for his well-being.
“Kyu~” Gogo nods his head in response, assuring me that he’s alright after the hearty meal.
“Alright, Commander Lolan, lead us into your territory,” I say with a small gesture.

As we pass through the cities of the Celestial Monkey race, I am captivated by the stunning blend of an advanced civilization and medieval vibes that greet us at every turn. The streets are bustling with life, as Celestial Monkey residents adorned in vibrant attire move gracefully among the crowd. Their clothing reflects a perfect fusion of traditional designs and modern fabrics, giving off an aura of elegance and sophistication.
They all have similar physiques with different structures and skin tones. Some are extremely short, tall, fat, and even bald. They are just like every other race that consists of different types of people. Most of them are staring at us weirdly, some amused and surprised.
“Mama, what are these ugly meats? Do they taste good?” A small girl moving along with her mom asks.
“Sssh, lower your voice, Abigail. They are called vampires. And they suck blood,” her mother replies, trying to hush her daughter’s curious questions.
“Vuaampires? Did the soldiers catch them while hunting? How do they taste?” The small girl bombards her mom with questions while looking at us like pieces of meat.
“The fuck was that? I am more good looking than you, loser! Fucking train your kid to respect others!” Arthur bellows at the mother and her daughter with a very angry expression on his face.
Due to Arthur’s outburst, the woman quickens her pace along with her daughter, clearly intimidated by his aggressive behavior.
“We are very sorry about that. There are always some misinformation spread about vampires amongst the kids as their parents use it to scare them to do something. It’s not what you think,” Commander Lolan quickly intervenes, trying to calm Arthur down.
I, on the other hand, understand better. If it wasn’t even for our extremely red eyes and pale skin, most people would mistake us for humans. It’s not their fault; they just haven’t seen many vampires before.
“It’s okay, Arthur. She’s just a kid,” I say, placing my hand on Arthur’s shoulder to ease his anger.
“Sigh. I am just pissed. She was even asking what I would taste like…” Arthur says with a sigh, still trying to get over the encounter.
Stella, on the other hand, is looking around in awe. She points to some random things here and there, urging me to buy them for her. Well, I had to oblige and get some of the things she requested since Commander Lolan willingly offered me some currency of this planet.
Suddenly, we reach a large area with a towering building that pierces into the sky. The surroundings of the building are fully reinforced with steel-like materials that look quite sturdy and could take a few punches from someone like me.
Commander Lolan commands the other soldiers to leave in a peculiar language. At the same time, he presses something on his body, causing his armor to start morphing and change into a black suit. It’s quite a transformation.
“What the fuck was that?” Arthur mutters, clearly surprised by the sudden change.
“I’ll teleport everyone into the building now. The monarch of the Celestial Monkey race is not around now because he’s currently doing something important. However, the prime minister is the one in charge now. So, I need to make him aware of your visit before taking you to meet him,” Commander Lolan explains.
Hearing his words, I raise a brow. “Why didn’t you teleport us earlier and made us walk?” I ask curiously.
“I am sorry, Prince Jake. I thought it was best to take you around the city. Moreover, if you noticed the distance we covered from that forest to this place is about a thousand miles, and yet we covered the distance in minutes,” Commander Lolan says with a light grin. Hearing his words, my eyes widen in astonishment.
“So, you used an ability, wow~” I let out a surprised voice. Even I didn’t realize we were traveling at such incredible speed.
“Fufufu, that has something to do with my ability. Well, time to go,” Commander Lolan says before clicking his fingers, preparing to teleport us to our next destination.
