In the land of eternal night, in the burial chamber unknown to the world, the,
encased in an ice chest, there was a beautiful, dark-haired, naked girl.
The figure in front of him, was also naked, as he hugged the coffin with a smile
it was scary on his enchanted face. His skin, as pale as the sun white-hot, is,
it burned a red color as he sighed in satisfaction.
Ah... So lovely... Ah...
Seeing this girl in the coffin, and showering her with love, was a pleasure
the secret of this charming silver-haired figure, his eyes were red and blue
flickering as they let out an unpleasant light. That thing
bring her traditional beauty, elevate it to a higher level.
But what surprised the observers the most were the two protruding white canine teeth
coming out of both sides of her lips. Every time he opened his lips, his tongue
his bloody and pale white fangs will date.
This was the demon lord Luminus Valentine, the Nightmare Queen and the ruler of the night.
Every time he touched this coffin, it left a burn scar on his skin
that's beautiful. It was an ark, a pure block of sacred power, and therefore destructive
Luminal. As a vampire demon lord, this entire coffin was like poison to him. But he
not letting it bother him. Even the bruise itself is
bliss.
Even a demon lord with a power like Luminus was incapable
breaking the coffin. So instead of her lovingly caressing him, hope
on the day where he was finally able to release the girl who was asleep in it...
One of his trusted associates made contact with him.
“I'm sorry for interrupting your pleasure, but there's something you want
I told you.”
It was Louis, whom he asked to be Holy Emperor Lubelius. Her voice
bother him, but he put up with it. It was rare for him to talk like
this, and he could easily imagine it as an emergency.
“Oh. Louis? Did something happen?”
“Hinata has moved to defeat Rimuru, the root of all this evil.
I secretly let him do it, but things seem to
getting complicated. ”
“...How do you mean?”
Louis gave him the truth, as revealed by his investigation
by oneself.
“Ah... In that case, there is no time to relax.”
With a sigh of fatigue, Luminus released himself from the coffin,
he left the funeral room and called a servant.
“Gunther!”
“Yes, my lady?”
Gunther is an old vampire who serves Luminus, a butler
who joined him at Walpurgis. Now he's emerged from the darkness, wrong
one of the Three Servants was under his control and was almost at his level of strength.
Louis was an important person on the throne of the emperor, Gunther in the city of Nightgarden, and
the late Roy as a demon lord who stood as a deterrent against
propaganda outside. The three were also Luminous bodyguards; luminus was currently in the room
the cemetery is located deep inside Nightgarden, and Gunther is guarding the
nearby.
With a measured hand, Gunther helped Luminus with his clothes. Fact
that she would rather the ceremony of wearing her clothes manually than
some instant magical transformations are indicators that tell the taste
the exaggerated forms.
“Honestly,” Gunther gripped Louis when he helped him change,
“challenging him with trivial nonsense..”.
“I'm sorry,” replied Louis. “But if we let things go longer, we
risk losing your beloved Hinata too, I worry.”
“Such silly worries! Although, if it was the demon lord Rimuru who
fight with the sword, caution will definitely be fine.”.
“I'm coming to you two now because I don't want them to fight.
If Hinata is killed, what will Luminous...?”.
“Louis,” Luminous reluctantly cut, “that's enough from you. You too, you,
Gunthers. One appearance from me is all this need, isn't it? Then we can
eliminating source.”
The three Servants hate him when one of them snaps at the
another, which is a source of frustration for Luminus. Louis knows that, that's why
he's postponing for Gunther at this time.
“Yes, my lady.”
“I'm sorry..”
They both lowered their heads gently. Luminous grunting.
“With Roy gone, I have to change your duties. But now, I don't have
time for that. You two, follow me. ”
He began to walk, with all his majesty. Two miraculous births ready
followed him.
“Yes, my lady.”
“Allow me, miss.”
Then Luminous paused for a moment, turning back to the coffin he loved.
Wait for me, okay...?
He then whispered the name of the precious girl inside, before gently
stroked the door of the room and closed it behind him.
Soundless, covered by the huge magic barrier belonging to Luminous, that room
sneaking into the real darkness.
Damrada the Gold, one of the leaders of Cerberus' secret society, finally
successfully returned to Farmus from his clandestine encounter with the Five Elders. Him
now it's in Migam, out of town, and given how well he knows the Earl
The nidol of the money-hungry Migam, he did not forget to calm him down with a gift
enough to earn his trust.
This time, too, was just a small bribe he needed to allow his prote
it was in Migam. Edmaris, too, was there now in an undisclosed location, and
Damrada knew this domain would be the eye of the storm soon. Edward, the new king, the,
has dragged an army of twenty thousand towards the border of this domain— Damrada
also know that.
The spread that the hero Yohm guarded the old king, Edmaris, was quite safe
to convince Edward that the two conspired against him.
However, the truce was unilaterally signed by Edmaris.
No need, Edward has made it very clear, for a new government
honoured him. But as Edward told his men, he
have attempted to argue sincerely with them, just to
he asked Edmaris and Johm to raid the royal treasury and steal their money.
For the inhabitants of the town of Farmus, far from the border, a hero who is not
being able to do anything but battle was not a worthy thing to do
cherished. Being very safe in their cities, makes them underestimate
the need for a strong defense. Some people even question
it is necessary to keep the likes of Johm and his army from using money
dimeh in public. It's funny how many people fail to realize that
safety must be paid a lot.
In the midst of this, an announcement is made that the hero Johm and the old king, Edmaris, are,
the embezzlement of reparations funds enraged the upper class Farmus. More and more
from those who voluntarily provide their support for
Edward; no one doubts his moral superiority on this question. And
with the support that pushed him, Edward had deployed his troops.
If the current trend continues, it won't be long before Yohm and Edmaris
arrested on false charges and executed. They will not accept
that, of course, means the war is already visible on the horizon — just like
Damrada put it together.
Yohm only had about five thousand soldiers here in Migam, but they had
taking reinforcements for the past three days.
Hm... So Rimuru hasn't left Yohm yet. How naive she is. Now Hinata
the Enlightened One has a better chance of winning than
preceding. Maybe it's time to move...
This, too, is in the realm of Damrada's imagination. At the fullest level
personally, she would love it if Hinata could be taken from the picture to
forever. Looks like he knew he had been taken advantage of by his lie, so that
it was best to get rid of it before he got in the way. Damrada doubts him
will never forgive him, and he needs to remember it during his operation in
Western Countries.
However, for now, he had to leave Hinata in the hands of the Five Elders.
Any direct intervention with it would be too dangerous.
Alright Not that this mission will end in failure...
The leader Cerberus ordered him to trigger a war in the region. No
there's more. As far as Damrada is concerned, his job is done, so that's a bet
it was better to retreat before Hinata returned. But there is only a little
unfinished business. Damrada doesn't care who wins between heroes
and a new king, but if he wants to benefit in the future, he has
a promise with the Five Elders to be fulfilled. The devil must be killed.
However, this is where the plan starts to go awry. Earl Nidol Migam has told us
Damrada at internal meetings held in his territory, and judging from
that report, this demon was also aiming to end the battle quickly.
What does this mean to him? That means that the new king and the devil want two things
it was completely different for Farmus. Edward had no hostile intentions
against Rimuru. The monster army clearly defeated him, and it was impossible
Farmus can beat Tempest alone. But despite that, Rimuru still
sending reinforcements to the hero Yohm. It showed Damrada
that he was not afraid of war, had it come to that. All talk
about the 'cause' being turned on when the demon lord sided with Edmaris. She has been
changed his mind, apparently.
This gave Damrada some attention. In the middle of an investigation when he was looking for a demon, he
come to know that Razen is a magic-born person now
serving the demon Damrada was trying to kill, not Edmaris. Which means…
...Was it the devil who defeated Razen, not Rimuru himself? This isn't
Johnny-comelately the devil is given physical form in this world, then.
Perhaps an older demon has been revived...
The thought made him grimace. There is not enough knowledge to work with
the same; even the leader Cerberus did not give any information about the devil
that's. This enemy, in his opinion, should be considered at least as an early Arch Demon-like
modern, maybe older. The strength of this type of demon was very dependent on age
they are, and while the 'modern' is one thing, the early-modern Arch Demon —
two or three hundred years old — is a disaster class threat. One of
'medieval', whose age was almost reaching a millennium, could be quite powerful
completely different from some low-level demons evolved. If the Arch Demon
as it exists in this world, it is devastating news, a threat to the Ummah
human as a continuing concern.
It should be noted that humans only managed to summon demons that were at the level
medieval and after. That's as far as the record goes, and it goes
reason, for anything more powerful than that will mean the end of the souls of the
caller. Their souls will soon be consumed. That's why the latest research
Eastern Empire regularly calls for restrictions on demon summoning —
although it takes a hero class summoner to create a Demon Arch
make their offer from the beginning.
“Then the magic-born Razen?” Damrada mutters.
Yes, the name Razen was widely known throughout the Empire. Power like his almost
equivalent when compared to the medieval demons. If there's a demon out there
who can beat people like him...
Plus, the Five Elders seemed to be quite blatantly planning something
with each other. It slightly aroused his curiosity, but his instincts
saying that this is a better wasp nest is not a gang. Yang
best to make a good escape, he thought, before I got caught up in the thing
others.
“There's something, Sir Damrada?” His servant said, responding to the words that he
say it to himself.
Damrada weakly smiled back. “Heh-heh-heh... It's too hot for
touched. There's no more of this. We've got a word for a little bit of lying right now, and
I consider it wise to heed that advice.”
“Sorry..?”
“We're backing out. Leave two or more observers and command everyone
to leave this country.”
“Ya sir. What about you, Sir Damrada?”
“I will send my formal greetings to King Edward, then visit
Tempest.”
“But I think you are advised to lie a little..?”.
“Hmm? Uh-heh-heh... Oh, I'll do it. For now, I will stop
maneuver behind the scenes, for the sake of other advances. There is no law that forbids
a decent merchant asked for an audience with demon lord Rimuru, to
improving his business.”
“I understand. Exceptionally well. What to do with six
The contractor we brought from our homeland? ”
“We will take them to the new king. It would be a nice souvenir
to him. ”
“So, everything will be pushed over King Edward's shoulder, then?”
“If you want to say it harshly, yes. It would be a good thing for
Edward, while I fulfill my promise to the Five Elders.”
This contractor was an organization of the Eastern Empire that served a reasonable purpose
kira is the same as the Western United Nations. They are a group that
assigned to work for specialist professions, including working demon hunters
all the time chasing demons in the world. Only the best and most monster fighters
experienced to be granted a license for this profession, and Damrada has
paid a generous sum to bring in six of these demon hunters
with her. He wanted to use it as an advertisement
Contractors in general, but now he feels that everything
too dangerous for them.
“But do we really have to be this much vigilant? We're not completely
return our investment..”
“We will see it, we will see it. I may think too much about it, though,
I like to trust my instincts. I'm not stupid enough to lose either
my life when I should have cut my losses.”
“Ah. Yes, my apology for doubting you. Then I'll start
prepare ourselves to retreat.”
“Good. So I will prepare another gift for the new king.”
The waiter left the room. Preparation went quickly after that, and before far away
longer, Damrada has put Migam behind him. He was right to
doing that, because if he daydreams further, he might have a demon who
angry people who tried to kill him.
Edward, newly crowned king of Farmus, was beside himself
with excitement.
The nobles all over the country fell upon themselves to promise
their support to him, expanding and strengthening his army. That
it was surprising to see the hero Yohm siding with Edmaris, his older brother, and his brother,
and when Rimuru sided with Yohm, he was afraid that his entire plan would fail.
But heaven did not leave him.
With Archbishop Reyhiem dead, the wheels began to spin. Hinata is leaving
to kill Rimuru, he has been informed, with the Crusader army in
behind him. Even better, the heroes of the Holy Empire Lubelius — Three
Battlesages, the second royal officer after Hinata in his power — has been
offering their support to Edward's cause, deploying the Temple Knights
for that effort. The enemy-god label has not yet been officially announced, but
given this spread, it must have been only a matter of time.
The Temple Knights are assigned to defeat the demon that killed Reyhiem, but
that's just the right reason. In Edward's mind, they were actually aiming
to fight against demon lord Rimuru, armed with
a great power which is essentially a combined army of the Nations
Wests. That is why he gave them a safe way through his land, as well as
the right to engage in any military activity they deem appropriate.
He had no intention of fighting with Rimuru, but in such a situation,
that doesn't matter. There was no way Hinata would lose to the demon lord, and with
a force of this magnitude, he reasoned, defeating the Tempest army was not at all
impossible. Veldora remains a concern, but with a fussy dragon,
the combined forces of the Western Nations should be able to seal it once again.
Now he needs a fair reason to link all these efforts
together, and it's taken care of. A powerful merchant from the East had
visiting him, brought a letter from Earl Nidol of Migam. That is a request
help, and it instantly solved all of Edward's problems. It doesn't take time
it was long before he reached a conclusion.
With reinforcements flowing through the border from all sides, perhaps
it is better to use the rescue of Migam as an excuse to deploy
my army.
Full war was not in his plans, but deployed his troops outside
the city walls should prove enough of a deterrent. There is no one in
around Edward who warned him otherwise — which he would later regret
— when he sends the command.
In Glenda's eyes, the plan had gotten very bad, but such things were frequent
it happened on the battlefield. He just has to adjust his tactics, make everything
things are going better, and he'll be fine. Seeing it like that, though,
things that didn't seem so bad to him. A large number of countries are interested
with their movements, and the real army of journalists is here to
saw action.
Everything was arranged as he wanted. Rimuru is not focusing
exclusive on Hinata is an unwanted surprise, but when Glenda
looking at him, it only meant that he spread his strength too wide to
own goodness. That's not a problem.
Damrada had fled the country, but he had left the expert team
anti-devil to King Edward as a symbol of goodwill, each in armour
complete as well as battle experts and A rank or better. He thinks they can
trusted to do their job.
There is no reason not to sacrifice them, if necessary, Glenda thought while
then. No matter how it turned out, he optimistically believed that the demon would
out of her hair. The atmosphere did not last long.
Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh…
Diablo, the demon in question, let out an evil laugh as he
spreading its bat-like wings, it looked like a sign of the apocalypse
as he observed the ground below. He was looking for a traitor
defeating him, caused embarrassment and felt shame in front of Rimuru
the one he loved, and he wasn't in a forgiving mood.
Not once in his life has he ever felt anything like
a fear. But the thought that he was relieved of his duties made him
feeling trembling. Imagining Rimuru looking at him and saying “Alright, you
can go now” make his spine shiver. The terror that rips
the shreds.
Now Diablo must avenge those responsible for feelings
that's. He pondered what he was doing after he tracked them down. It makes
the smile is wider.
Then he found Edward, the new king, behind the army. There is with him
a few others were standing out among the crowd with strength,
at least somewhat — is enough so they can at least face to face with
Diablo. Part of the Ten Saints, perhaps?
Rimuru ordered him not to kill anyone not involved. If
they are involved, it doesn't apply — at least that's how Diablo and Hakuro are, he said,
his supervisor, interpreting the letter. Any army that doesn't try to survive
it will be released, of course, but if they try to fight it, it is
another problem — especially if they decide to start that hostility
by oneself. Then, there is no need for mercy.
Resisting the desire to welcome this new king simultaneously, Diablo
sending Mind Communications, reporting his findings to Hakuro.
(Sir Hakuro, I have found one that stands out among them heading to the
your Direction. He should have kept Sir Ranga busy, if it was as I imagined.)
(Hm. Roger that. Would it be better not to kill him?)
(Yes. I believe he has a connection with Lubelius, the origin of the rumor
defied me. Capturing him alive would make him a pawn
useful in our negotiations.)
(All right. I'll tell Sir Ranga.)
(Also... This target is leading about five thousand troops. According to the Free Guild ranking,
this includes some fighters who are at least A rank)
(Hm. Perfect, then. Let's point Gobta and Gabil at them.)
(Yes, good idea. I'm sure this is a fight for them so no
you can lose, but.).
Bersambum.......
