“So this is the hell’s gate that those demons used to enter this realm, huh…” Demon Oz stares at the huge gate before him.

“Paimon, do you recognize this hell’s gate?” Demon Oz asked one of his generals.

“I don’t, your majesty. This gate is big enough and contains an enormous amount of demonic mana, it’s impossible for me to forget it if I’ve seen it before. I believe this must be the possession of a member of the 72 demon kings,” Paimon answered as she kneeled.

“I see… Do you have a hell’s gate similar to this?” (Demon Oz)

“Yes, I do, your majesty,” (Paimon)

“Does every 72 demon kings of the demon realm have a hells gate?” (Demon Oz)

“Yes, there’s a high possibility that every 72 demon kings have one or maybe more,” (Paimon)

“Hm… But how and why do you have these hell’s gate? And why attack now?” (Demon Oz)

“The hell’s gate is made by a skilled space magician 1000 years ago. It’s said that there are more than a hundred gates spread across the demon realm. Knowing that legend, we, 72 demon kings search for the gates for years. But we only manage to found it 5 years ago, not only one, it seems like every demon kings suddenly stumbled upon a hell’s gate,” (Paimon)

“The first thing we do is testing where the destination of the gate is. And it turns out that it’s true that the gate connects the demon realm and this realm. After confirming that fact, each of us planned our own plans on conquering this realm since we have a long bloody history with this realm, your majesty,” (Paimon)

“Hm… Then do you, the ex-member of the 72 demon kings of the demon realm, Paimon. Do you. Harbor the thought of conquering this realm too?” Hearing demon Oz’s question, Paimon felt like countless blades are pointed at her.

Hearing demon Oz’s words and suspicion towards Paimon. Lucifer, Adramelech, and Beelzebub hold their respective weapons, ready to slay their fellow demon general in case she might be a future enemy and bring harm to their lord.

Stream of sweats falls from Paimon’s body because of nervousness.

“Lucifer, Adramelech, Beelzebub. Stop it. Withdraw your bloodlust,” By a single order by their lord, they cease their release of bloodlust. Seeing that her lord is still kind to her ease Paimon’s heart.

“At the demon realm, I lead a faction called the neutral faction. With the idea of harmony and peace. But of course, because of that, we have lots of demon kings that oppose our thoughts, and most of them came from the upper branch of the 72 demon kings,” (Paimon)

“After getting summoned by your majesty, and knowing your identity, your goal, your passion, and your way of thoughts. All I have left is just my loyalty towards you, my lord,” (Paimon)

When Paimon said those words, Demon Oz could feel that all of her words are sincere. Looking at his kind and sincere general made a smile imprinted on Demon Oz’s face.

“You really are smart, Paimon. I praise you, your sweet words managed to completely capture my heart,” (Demon Oz)

“I-I just telling the truth, my lord,” (Paimon)

“Indeed. I never even once doubted your loyalty towards me. Even if you support the thought of conquering this realm, I won’t blame you for that since that thought ever crossed my mind too,” (Demon Oz)

“About conquering this realm, my lord? If you wish for it, we will try our best to obtain it for you,” (Adramelech)

“No need, Adramelech. I’m happy with your loyalty, but that thought crossed my mind is not because I want to be the absolute sovereign of this world, but because I thought maybe the fastest way to clean this world that had got dirtied by humans is by conquering it completely,” Demon Oz’s voice sounds cold and merciless when he said those words. His eyes got cold and his tone harbor a hint of murderous intent that made the four demonic generals before him shivers.

“I-If your majesty-” (Lucifer)

“I don’t, Lucifer. I can’t bring sadness and sorrow to the world where people I cared for lives, can I?” (Demon Oz)

“Well, setting that matters aside. Since you also have a demonic gate, Paimon, can you activate this hell’s gate and connect it to your hell’s gate?” (Demon Oz)

“I-I never tried it before, my lord, I think I could, but it might take a long time,” (Paimon)

“Then try, we have a lot of time,” (Demon Oz)

“M-my lord. Are you thinking of going to the demon realm?” (Beelzebub)

“Yes, all of you are generals, what kind of general that didn’t have any soldiers, right?” (Demon Oz)

!!!!!!???

“W-what happened, your majesty!?” A guard inside a castle that resides in the demon world entered the throne room in a hurry as he suddenly felt his king’s aura that suddenly got disordered as if he’s under attack.

“This. Where am- I see… No, I just saw a nightmare, that’s all…” Said the leader of the 72 demon kings, Baal.

“A nightmare? It’s rare for your majesty to have a nightmare. Is there something haunting your mind?”

“Hm… It’s more like I got a bad feeling. My guts are warning me that something dangerous is coming. Strengthen our security, I think a huge storm is going to wreak havoc at our realm,” (Baal)

“I-impossible! As your orders, your majesty. I’ll relay your message to our generals…” The man stands and left the throne room.

Inside the empty throne room that looked sinister, Baal stares at the thin air as his mind gone clouded.

“The undead world, the demon world, and the world of the living… Is this the punishment for our greed, or will this be the last war that will lead us to our prosperity? But then, why do I keep on having a dream of my death? Who are you… human?” The figure asked to the thin air.

After a few days of the meeting between the ambassador of the Tarot empire and the queen of the Grandaria kingdom, it’s confirmed that the Grandaria kingdom acknowledges the Tarot empire as a country and formally form a pact of alliance with the Tarot empire by giving a land inside the royal capital as the office of the Tarot empire legation.

Currently, inside the royal palace of the Grandaria kingdom, another meeting is being held without having the ministers present. Only those who the queen trusted were summoned and are present in the throne room.

“So? What did you think?” The queen asked Sera, Albus, Oxius, and Alfred that is standing in front of her. Since there are only them inside the throne room, the queen said that there is no need for formalities since no one will see them and they don’t have much time.

“It’s a dangerous move, your majesty. It might look like the safest choice at first glance if we consider them as a normal strong country. But on the other hand, they’re not, that’s why that decision might be the most dangerous choice at the same time,” Said the Grandaria kingdom’s magic god, Oxius.

As a Seasoned veteran, Oxius words have a big influence on the queen. hearing the old magic god’s words, the queen narrowed her eyes as she asks everyone before her.

“What did you see? Fill me in,” The queen shifts her gaze towards Sera.

“Before they came, I think I could guarantee that our loss is just a matter of time. That’s the reason I try my best to think of a way to prolong the battle. Even though our formation is firm and strong, but the opposition is also strong themselves, no, even stronger,” (Sera)

“As the battle goes on, our soldiers are getting weaker and weaker because of fatigue. And the demons’ number doesn’t seem to get decreased, as if they’re endlessly summoned. Even though all of us had killed more than hundreds, they keep on coming, until…” (Sera)

“Until?” (Queen)

“Until finally, another group of demons came. They looked like they’re the upper branch of their hierarchy. Not only they’re strong and have an enormous amount of sinister demonic mana, but their soldiers also respect them,” (Sera)

“That time, all of us knew that it’s our defeat. Until an unknown war horn appeared from the unknown. We thought they’re the demons’ reinforcement, but strangely they came not from their direction. And there, they appear just like how the rumors that spread across the world told us about the heavenly knights,” (Sera)

“They’re very strong, each individual is strong, and they’re invincible when they’re in a group. With a small number, they covered all of our flanks without losing even one of their soldiers. Looking at their power, our soldiers got motivated and regain their spirits and morale, bringing us to a survive from that pinch,” (Sera)

“Does the white-haired man their general? Is he strong? He doesn’t look like he’s a fighter,” (Queen)

“All of us thought so at first, your majesty. But in the end, it turns out we’re wrong,” (Oxius)

“Wrong?” (Queen)

“Yes, together with the group of the high-ranked demons, there is a demon king that appeared together with them. And he’s the one who killed the demon king single-handedly,” (Oxius)

******************************

At the capital, Slime Tarot is standing in front of the land where the queen gave his empire to make their legation together with his soldiers.

“This is the land, sire. The building will maybe finish at the two months, sire. The queen said that all of you may return to your homeland while getting escorted by the royal guards or temporarily stay at the royal guest house,” Said a man to Slime Tarot.

“This is good land…” The white-haired man said with a smile as he saw the fresh green grasses.

“Beg your pardon?”

“Um. It’s fine, we’ll construct the legation by ourselves. Peggy, do your job,” (Slime Tarot)
