“There are about 100 soldiers in the target location. Outside are mostly grunts and inside the mansion was the commander of the troop and his right hand. They are the only two people who confirmed as artifact wielders.” Yukime reported to Riku via an earpiece. “Nightmare progress report?” Asked Riku. “All targets were eliminated. There won’t be any backup coming for their rescue.” Nightmare responded and made a slight grin on her face sitting down to the pile of corpses of humans she just defeated. After the confirmation, Riku just arrived at the target location after him destroying one of the soldier's camps nearby. He landed down on the tall concrete wall and from there he saw hideous acts. By just watching them, anyone will lose their faith in all of humanity. Riku bit his lips. Feeling terrible that his not fast enough to come to their rescue. Maidens are being forcefully stripped from their clothes while the soldiers threaten them with their spears. Women who stopped danc
Time flies. Seven years already passed. Many many things happened… Training, recruiting, building, and mostly preparation. It took us a very long time probably because we were simply anxious. This war will decide the fate of our world as a whole. We got lots of new comrades. Demon-kinds, Exterminators, and former inquisition knights. People who agree with me on my ideals. Sadly, there are still people opposing me. But that’s the expected result. Not everyone is going to like the idea of demon-kinds and humans living side by side with one another. I keep my mind open to those kinds of people. For seven years of thinking of a way to live in peace. I found one path. A country… A country is exclusive for those people who like to live side by side with demon-kinds. A country of peace. It sounds like the idea was ripped off the floating island from years ago. But that’s the only way I can think. Instead of making further war. We can simply build our own country where we don’t need to wa
“All members of the council have arrived. We should proceed in our meeting.” Suzu stated standing next to my sit. Sitting on a circled table was twelve of the most important people in the western territory. On their side was their most trusted assistant. Of course, I’m one of them as the new demon king. Scarlet was also here as the northern region chief. Beast kin in the name of Gettan came as the representative of Lawless city. The Lawless city has four leaders, and they don’t get along very well, but when the council starts calling for a meeting they send a representative to hear our thoughts. Mukuro was also here aided by Gideon on her left side. After the demon war, Mukuro goes back to Eterna city to visit her former laboratory. Seeing how dire the situation has become for Eterna city after their protection from the inquisition knight was gone. Mukuro made up her mind and helped them out. After saving the city, she was hailed as their new ruler. And now the city became a tech
After creating a concrete plan and strategy on how they’re going to take down The Emperor. The discussion then goes into other things like sharing resources and building proper friendships in the whole of West territory countries. Riku still doesn’t have an inch of trust in Mordred who obviously have a snake-like smile curve on his face. It's only a figure of speech, but people with the same face as him are someone that cannot be trusted for sure. Before the council goes to depart. They all shake each other's hands in respect. But when it was Riku and Mordred's turn to shake hands. Some bad blood can be felt roaming in the air. “Demon king you’re hands are kinda tough.” “This is nothing.” After they obviously try to crush each other hands and failed. Mordred turned his back and ride his airship back to his country. “I hope some lightning struck his airship.” Riku muttered. “That’s very cruel of you…” Gabriel said standing next to me. “Well, I’m a demon king for a reason. Hahah
The night sky was clear. The stars and the ever-bright moon cast the city with generous light. The beeze was still cold in February, but the people who go out in their houses making a crowd outside is enough to warm up the place. The streets were well lit up with lanterns. Kids happily play in the game stalls and couples enjoy walking around holding each other's hands. Many businesses are bustling and there are some unlucky who never got a single customer in front of their stall. I wonder what is wrong with that vendor. I see, his selling a lizard on a stick. It was exotic food, but it was not very popular. Standing at the same fountain where I met Kisara earlier. I waited for my date. “Sorry for the wait Riku.” Seemingly exhausted chasing her breath was Kisara. Her hair was tied up beautifully with a bunny hairpin. She’s wearing green Kimono that compliment her rose-pink hair. Taking another glance at her, Kisara does grow up as a woman. “W-What do you think?” “On what?” After
“Big brother is coming into this city really okay?” Asked Kiyoko walking behind his big brother Kazuto. Next to Kiyoko was Kiyoka walking around cautiously her hand on the hilt of her sword. Kiyoka turned her glance all around them and saw people in pitch-black suits standing high on top of the castle roof. “This is not looking good Kazuto.” “Don’t worry Big sister Kiyoka… If they make a funny move. I will cut down the whole palace in two… That’s for sure.” Kazuto said in an ominous tone. The three just arrive in the capital city of the Eastern empire, Liyue city. Previously it was owned by the most powerful clan, Kou. But 13 years ago suddenly a mysterious masked man appeared killing The God emperor of the Eastern empire and claiming the throne as his own. He ruled the empire with an iron fist. Anyone opposing him was burned down alive. He ruled the empire like he was some kind of god which some people already believe that he was. Because of his incredible power, everyone has
A week after the Lantern festival. All the council’s military troops lined up at the border of the eastern empire. Across the mountain-like walls were soldiers from the Eastern Empire. No one was making the first move yet. Both Western territory and Eastern empire were aware, without even making a declaration to one another, that war was on its way. We build a temporary base in Senna city. It brings back memories because this is the same city where the Inquisition knight commander attacked me and I met Kisara’s master. After the demon war Princess started, they said that the people living here evacuated with the help of some random masked man. Seven tears later, a few people came back here to continue living. Sister Maria was not among them. Stepping back here, remembering the kids and her, made me worried about what happened to them. I was sitting at the roundtable with the council members. In the room was a giant monitor that displayed the plan. Mukuro and Scarlet explain every
“How is this happening?” Charlotte was confused. The emperor is charging toward Charlotte with his flaming fist. I grabbed Charlotte’s arm and swung her down to the ground below. I then countered the fist with my own flaming fist. “Flaming Scarlet fist!” Charlotte has consumed much of her energy. She cannot just teleport back to where she came from. In the first place, how are we here with him? Our flames formed a giant ball and then exploded. Sending us both in the distance, nearly pushing me down to the pool of lava. “Charlotte, how many minutes?” “About 30 minutes… I only have 12% of my energy left.” “That much was taken away?” “I’m confused myself… I don’t understand, I’m sure I only aimed my ability at him… Gyaaaaa--!!” Charlotte was taken inside a cube. “Spell number 16: Dimension cage! The dimension box was excluded from this dimension. Teleportation or any means of escape was futile as long as the caster had enough energy to keep its walls thick.” The emperor, being
