Demon King

The Birth of the Legion – 7

[Don’t get eaten!]

[Oh, no…]

[He’s starting to control this space!]

As I fought with the angels, my guild members and Rain were at the frontlines stopping the demons. I don’t know what sort of deal happened between the demons and the angels. Even the demons who weren’t affected by the moonlight were fighting with a momentum that disregarded their own lives.

[Ahhhhhh!]

[Ahhhh!]

The screams and shouts from the battlefield filled the underground. Those who had gathered under me, voluntarily or not, suffered and were losing their lives. It would be a lie if I said I didn’t feel anything, which was why I had to focus on getting rid of these enemies now.

[Avoid him and attack the castle!]

ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom [He’s protecting it!]

[Shouldn’t we secure his bride?!]

Those with angel wings and the stained bodies of a traitor were flying around him. At this moment alone, more than ten high-ranking angels were floating in the sky. They were afraid of me, but I couldn’t ridicule their power, considering their numbers.

“Why won’t he appear in person?”

[No matter how strong you are, you’re no match for him!]

An angel with impressive silver hair and amber eyes said so while swinging a sword made of ice. I called out his voice as I slashed with his ice sword.

“Thank you for letting me know, Crossel.”

[Huh?!]

The moment a demon’s energy welled inside of her, it created the gap I needed. I struck through her with my dagger.

[Kahak!]

Intuitive and savage movements like a beast going for the throat. It couldn’t be called swordsmanship; it was a simple killing technique that had no skill. Perhaps that was the realization of the Reaper ability.

[Damn, no more sacrifices!]

[Crossel, stop him!]

The other angels descended toward the fortress as if they were waiting for the moment where one of their allies took the fall. Some of them remained in the air to throw magic toward me, but even having just learned Causal Control, I was able to twist around and avoid them.

[Khhh…!]

I lifted Annihilation, and Crossel’s body with it as I stretched out the energy of Predation. It was incomparable to before now that I had evolved once more into a Belkatina. I didn’t give Crossel a chance to resist as I ate his entire body.

[You gained 293,091 experience.]

[You received 199,293 gold.]

[You obtained Eternal Frost.]

[Level up!]

“That’s how it is.” I recovered the ice sword he left behind.

“It’s arrogance.” That irrational behavior that came from absolute confidence no one could stand above him. So, unless all of his subordinates were killed and he had no more pawns to move, he would never mobilize himself.

Or maybe I could go to him.

I left my thoughts be and turned to the air. The hole the angels had punched through was gradually closing, the traces of Barbatos and Reraje’s power dying away. ‘Do they know?’ As long as they maintained their pure state, they would have been able to return to the Rookie’s Battlefield in a few days, even if their exit was closed, but now that the power of a demon was mixed into them, it was impossible. No doubt, their leader had accepted that this might be a possibility. As far as I knew, the only person who could enter the battlefield despite having mixed blood was Mireina.

[Unbelievable.]

[It’s irreversible.]

[The mission comes first! Damn it…!]

The angels noticed it but tried to push on. I twisted Causal Control and let black lightning pour out from me. I poured out all of the mana I had, all of the mana I had acquired, and all of the mana I could take from the space around me to activate my magic.

[Ahhhhh!]

[Where’d this lightning come from…?!]

“You can’t run away.” Chains of black lightning split through the air with eerie sparks. The energy of Predation and the Flame of Destruction were contained in the chain, absorbing the angels’ energies and weakening them.

[Kuuhh!]

[It’s all over…!]

“Thank you for this meal.”

[Level up!]

[Magic became Lv3.]

I looked over the notice and towards the remaining angels with a smile. It meant nothing if they completed their mission now that their way of escape was lost. They should have fled the moment Barbatos and Reraje died.

[Kugaaaaaah!]

Another shout echoed on the battlefield. The demons were dying, burnt up in sacrifice for the Devil’s Night. It was like watching a festival; a sight much more beautiful than the dirty angels.

[Shit!]

[I can’t die underground!]

[If we get rid of the castle, no one can stop us.]

[…Let’s kill them all.]

[If we do that, then someday he will save us.]

They naturally came to that conclusion, the one I was expecting. The angels didn’t know what to do after losing their way out, but now they were rallying.

[Get the bride first!]

Their target was L now, which was the worst option they could’ve picked. It was like they were testing how far they could push me. I imbued the ice sword I was still holding in one hand with my magic, confident in my ability to take care of the remaining enemies.

[Gyaaahk!]

Before I could even think about throwing the sword, one of the angels who had been chasing after L fell as blood spewed out of his mouth. A bullet of enormous magical power had struck him. It wasn’t caused by L or A, who were focused on the fortress, nor by Rain, who was out fighting the demons. I looked around for the answer.

[Why are you trying to reach out to the lady?!]

A huge gate had opened in the air above us, a voice flowing from within it. It belonged to a beautiful but sharply featured woman. This new entity was not one of the underground traitors, so I couldn’t call out her name, though her existence certainly remained in my memory.

[Are you okay, sister? And… it’s been a while, Fate. Did you grow up a bit?]

A huge camel stepped through the air—a beautiful woman with flowing red hair riding upon it. Great mana rained down from her, conflicting a bit with the awkward image.

[To brazenly pretend to be an ally.]

L responded coldly, but the red-haired woman only laughed.

[Sorry about that. I can’t betray you two. As long as you have that power and charm that is worthy of the one above.]

I decided to figure out what happened later and landed on the fort. I cut through the angels with my ice sword as I yelled up at the woman.

“I’ll decide whether to kill you or not after the battle. Move!”

[Whoo, so that’s Fate.]

The woman started to move in earnest. It wasn’t just her who arrived from inside the gate; a legion followed her. Even if she had lost her power, she was still a high-ranking Jinma. Leaving her legion to take care of the demons and monsters attacking my fortress, she flew into the fort atop the camel, firing magic at the angels.

[What?! Why is she on his side again?!]

[Again? Wasn’t I on his side from the beginning?] Only

Several more gates opened under the gloomy dark moonlight, demons that had been liberated from various places in the underground were raging. A man on the back of a leopard, one with the head of a horse, a silver dragon like the one Rain killed…demons with extraordinary energy appeared one after another.

[Hahahahaha! No way will this happen again! Devil’s King, you want to sit back on that vacant seat for a bit?]

[It’s an honor to see Fate again!]

Incredibly, the demons showing up wanted to join us. It was an unexpected event for me, who thought that both the demons and angels were enemies. I was almost embarrassed.

[What are you doing? Kill all enemies in front of you!]

Someone let out a shot, and as if in response, the voice that always arrived with the Devil’s Night echoed out.

[Fight! Devour all and grow!]

There seemed to be little left to do tonight. I made full use of Ubiquitous to reach the remaining angels with a laugh.
