I've Already Become a Demon God, and You Want Me to Be the Villain? — Part 6

It felt rather like quietly watching him put on a show.

As Su Mo savored his wine, Sylvie came up behind him. Her flawless little hands rested on his shoulders and began to knead them gently.

Li Mang's convoy was steadily drawing closer.

"The Villain must be panicking now. As long as I get within a hundred meters of him, I'll know who he is."

Li Mang calculated.

He had already successfully persuaded the Legendary Soul in the ring to act for him when the time came.

Once he confirmed the Villain's identity, he could find an opportunity to kill him.

Even if the other party was some important figure, if the Legendary Soul killed him without a sound, it would have nothing to do with Li Mang.

"This Count of Inkstone Territory's domain is really prosperous..."

Li Mang looked outside from the carriage.

They were still some distance from Su Mo's Blackstone City, yet the passing carriages had already formed a massive traffic jam.

"Huh? Those goods..."

He noticed the merchandise on one carriage: a large number of Porcelain pieces, as well as things like mirrors.

"This world already has Porcelain and mirrors? I was planning to invent them and make money... And this ground... isn't this Cement?"

At that moment, Li Mang made another discovery.

He had only just Transmigrated before suddenly discovering a Villain nearby, so he had never paid much attention to the ground.

Only now did he notice that the road beneath the carriages was clearly made of Cement.

"Porcelain, mirrors... Cement... This Count of Inkstone Territory is a hundred percent a Transmigrator... Could he be that Villain?"

This thought surfaced in Li Mang's mind.

With so many things distracting him, he had yet to consider why the Count of Inkstone Territory had invented so many things so soon after his transmigration.

"A Count... the problem shouldn't be too big... If I'm careful, he won't notice me."

Li Mang calculated.

Although a Count held no low status and surely possessed considerable strength, Li Mang had enough confidence.

A Count couldn't possibly have Legendary-grade combat power, could he?

As for what impact killing him might have on the Crescent Kingdom... Li Mang did not care in the slightest.

Soon, the convoy arrived in Inkstone City.

"There's less than a kilometer left. It really does look like the Count of Blackstone Territory... He still hasn't made any move... Is he really that fearless?"

Li Mang thought.

Seeing that Su Mo had made no move, doubts began to arise in his heart again.

"Little one, take this. It can make you invisible for a short time. Even an Archmage-grade mage won't be able to detect you. He's only a Count. Go on, leave everything to this Old Man."

Perhaps sensing Li Mang's doubts, the Legendary Soul in the ring sent another pulse of soul energy.

Not only that, the Legendary Soul gave him a cloak from within the ring.

Hint: You have obtained an Invisibility Cloak. Effective against those below Grand Archmage level.

Seeing the prompt, Li Mang was overjoyed.

As expected of Ring Grandpa. Whatever he lacked, Ring Grandpa provided.

He put away the cloak, then jumped down from the carriage.

"Jeb, go purchase the goods. I'll take a look around."

Li Mang told the butler.

With that, Li Mang hurried toward Su Mo's Castle.

Before long, he neared Su Mo's Castle, found an unoccupied corner, and put on the Invisibility Cloak.

Once he had it on, Li Mang walked into Su Mo's Castle.

"As expected, no one noticed."

Li Mang was delighted.

"Master, he's heading toward the Castle."

Nancy reported.

"Sylvie, remove the Castle's Magic Barriers and let him in."

Su Mo said calmly.

"Yes, Master."

Sylvie summoned a magic control disc and began operating it.

This magic control disc could control all the Magic Barriers throughout the Castle.

Otherwise, an Invisibility Cloak that Su Mo considered beneath notice would have been detected by any random Magic Barrier in his Castle.

After Sylvie removed the Magic Barriers, she activated several low-level ones instead.

If they were putting on an act, they had to see it through.

"There are Magic Barriers at the Castle entrance, but their level isn't high. Go through without worry."

From within the Invisibility Cloak, the Legendary Soul told Li Mang.

Li Mang walked over without concern. Sure enough, he did not trigger the Magic Barriers at the Castle entrance.

"Xiao Die, there's a letter from the Royal Capital."

"Give it to me. I'll deliver it to the Count."

The voices of two maids rang out.

"Ha, someone's even leading the way for me. As expected of the Protagonist, my luck is this good."

Seeing a maid carrying a letter from the Royal Capital toward the depths of the Castle, Li Mang quickly followed her.

Meanwhile, the Legendary Soul in his ring silently observed.

Soon, Li Mang followed a maid to the upper levels of the Castle.

"This Castle is really huge. Even the maids inside are all so beautiful. This Villain has it pretty good... But your good days end today!"

Li Mang looked on with envy all the way.

Su Mo's Castle was simply too luxurious.

Luxurious to an inhuman degree.

"Count, there's a letter from the Royal Capital."

At last, they arrived. A maid's voice rang out in a grand hall.

Li Mang hurried after her.

Then he saw Su Mo in the hall, dressed in an aristocratic robe and opening a letter.

"So it really is you!"

The moment Li Mang saw Su Mo, he confirmed it.

The Villain was Su Mo!

"He still hasn't noticed me. Senior, make your move!"

Li Mang said.

With that, Li Mang stepped into the hall.

However, the instant his front foot crossed into the hall, countless Magic Runes throughout it lit up at once.

The entrance to the hall was instantly sealed by a Magic Array.

At that moment, the hall was completely isolated from the outside world.

"What's going on?"

Seeing the glowing Magic Runes, Li Mang still did not understand what had happened.

Then he saw Su Mo's calm gaze turn toward him.

His heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt as if all his secrets had been seen through.

The Legendary Soul in the ring on his finger flew straight out.
