the underworld, also known as netherworld in short hell. the world that exists directly beneath the land that we live. demons rule over this land and the ones that rule over those demons are known as demon kings.
the underworld has 4 demon kings. lucifer, leviathan, Beelzebub, Santanas. it is said that these are the names of the demons that originated the demons. in honor of them, the demons started to change their family names into one of these four names once they become the demon kings. and the present four demon kings that rule over this place is the 2nd strongest demon king generation among all the generations that ruled.
demon king Solomon lucifer is the strongest of all the 4 demon kings of the second strongest generation demon kings. the person that wields the power of destruction and the one that recovered the dead body of katsu from the creature that killed him.
right now that demon king is–
*tshhh*
is flying in the sky like human fireworks after receiving a punch.
"How dare you leave all the work here and go to wander offfffff!!!!"
the person that threw the punch was another one of the demon kings
Aoi leviathan, the only female demon king of the present generation of demon kings.
"damn it you idiot, you should've taken me with you. I wanted a fresh breeze as well. it was way too busy. we could've even got a chance to compete"
the one who says that while suppressing the tantrum thrown by Aoi leviathan is one of the two lifelong rivals of Solomon and another one of the demon kings
Dante Beelzebub. the great rival for Solomon lucifer and a great scientist of the underworld.
"now, now, both of you calm down, he would not leave with a serious expression as if he went to the goof-off that right after that magical reverberation. if he did that then he must've had some reasons. right, Solomon? also Dante what do you mean by raking you with him. did you plan on leaving all the work on us as well!!!?"
the one who calmed down both of them and started to complain about Dante was the last one among this generation of demon kings.
Alphonse santanas. greatest strategist and one and only person among the generation with common sense in this group.
this is the new generation of demon kings. the second strongest demon king generation.
Solomon answered the earlier question asked by Alphonse.
"Yeah, you are right Alphonse. you see I went to the source of the tremor that we felt earlier."
"""......?"""
as he said that everybody fell silent and dumbfounded and after reviving from the shock Alphonse said
"wait, did you just say the source of the tremor just now? what was that?"
"If I tell you the entire story you might guess where and what but what shocks is going to be why and how"
"Hey, don't go around the bush. just tell us already"
as you said that Solomon and others moved to a room like a conference place with the four of them sitting around a table with their respective servants standing behind them
Solomon started to explain all of them and they guessed what it was as soon as they learned the source was from the surface and it was actually a human and just like he said they could not guess why and how it was.
as soon as they listened they started talking
"the aura tremor, so the source is one of the monsters that even the strongest generation of the demon kings sacrificed their own lives to defeat"
"the monsters that even the guardians could not make them bow to them."
"the monsters that are the source of the rampage in the underworld approximately 200 million years ago"
"""dragons!!!"""
as all three of them said individually the last word was just said in unison. Solomon nodded and said
"not exactly dragons to be more precise the heavenly dragons. the monsters that are said to be on the same league as god and zodiac guardians"
after Solomon said that everybody became shocked and disbelief. as Alphonse said,
"so you are saying that the host of a heavenly dragon was the source."
as soon as Dante said that then Aoi followed with a huge shocking and disbelief face.
"Are you sure that it is the host? it was not seen until now after the heavenly dragons defeat 200 million years ago a human controlling the heavenly dragon that is. the only rare case that was seen as the child of the host inheriting the power of the dragon when he is born. even people like those were until now only 50,000 were seen until now and only a single-digit were there at present."
Dante said after hearing that
"when a dragon host makes a child the baby born will inherit some of the dragon power but not even close enough to what a host of the dragon could do. but even if they were born the human body is weak which makes them die if they inherit the power, unlike the host who can hold onto the dragon himself that is the reason why there are so many fewer humans that are almost negligible who can use the heavenly dragon's powers. but if it were just a person that inherited the aura from his ancestors that would've not caused any of these tremors then that means–"
as Dante said that he turned his face to Solomon then Solomon nodded and said with a serious expression
"yes, this kid is the host of the heavenly dragon that is inside of him."
suddenly the room went silent with a heavy atmosphere.
"well, that is the gist of it" "so, you are saying that the celestial creature of the lower level tried to kill the unique and swallow him to absorb his power" "so you went and save him" "but by the time you went there, he was already dead." the four demon kings are sitting at a round table and discussing the matters about what happened back on the surface in a little bit of detail while Solomon was explaining. "so,... what do you think…. what do we do?" as everyone was talking, Solomon asks them with a bit of a tensed face and sweat on the forehead. then Dante answers "what do you mean by that? it is a pity that he died. if he were to join us that would help us since we are quite a pickle at the moment." "We could've changed into a demon if he were alive. but now that he idea. what can we do?" "it certainly is true. since no host until now were able to use the power of the heavenly dragon." the
In a big room, the demon kings have gathered. the room is more like a cave with runes written on the walls. there is a flat slab in the center of the room with runes written on it and a door made of stones with the continuation runes written on it that are connected from the slab. and there are four symbols on the stone door and four holes that are adjacent to them. "Alright, let's unlock the door that is connected from the slab" as Alphonse says that everybody passed their magic through the slab then beams of light in dark red, dark blue, dark green, and black color aura released from their respective bodies. as their bodies were lit up. the runes on the slab started to glow and the aura was passed on through the runes that are connected from the slab to the door and eventually passed on to the four symbols. as the aura was passed on the symbols started glowing in four different colors. red - lucifer blue - leviathan green - Beelzebub
when I opened my eyes I was in a black space. in that black space, I was floating. "hm? where am I?" this space, have I seen it before? as I was thinking that I heard a large base voice {you woke up kid?} there was a huge base voice as I was searching for the figure. a red color light suddenly came like a blast and as it settled it formed into a huge figure with a dragon silhouette in the middle of the light. I remember that figure and I definitely know that voice. this is the bastard who is always coming into my dream every morning with other bastards and ruining my dream with the ones that I love. I spoke to the figure with an angry voice. "hey you, you are the bastard that always comes into my dream every morning when I was in a good part with the girls I like in my dream, aren't you?" when I say that angrily to him– {huh!?} I cannot see it but I can feel he is making a dumbfounded face. this bastard "don't p
when I woke up from my sleep. I saw four people being protected by 8 people. the 4 people were a handsome man in red hair with a red cape, a beautiful woman in blue hair with a coat hanging out with only shoulders attached as if it were a cape, a person in green hair with a green color cape attached, and another person in black hair wearing a white coat. they were all standing behind 8 people taking a battle stance with weapons. all of them are afraid. I don't think this is heaven. maybe I should ask these people "who…. are you….. people?" after asking that question everybody looked a little tense and at the same time, they were confused. "Is this not heaven? where am I? I should've gone to heaven after my death…." while I was asking those questions to myself I can hear those people talking. "is he really the one who released the dragon aura just now?" when the blue-haired woman was talking about that I looked towards her. the
"I will tell you what happened. everything about the crisis and how it is that you have the power to stop this crisis and how is this crisis related to your suffering. I will tell you everything." Solomon said that with a painful expression as he started to explain according to him. over some billions of years ago before the universe was even created, the gods and demons have come into existence and along with them there was another species whose existence was the strongest in the entire history of the Creation known as 'cosmic beings'.their magic power is abnormally strong and their bodies were the toughest. these all species have come into the existence in a time when there was nothing but black empty space. one day a cosmic being who has an abnormal amount of magic power even among the entire history of the cosmic beings, created a huge blast for unknown reasons in the black empty space which obliterated the entire species of the cosmic beings and forced t
everybody in the room fell silent. Solomon and all the other demon kings were looking down on the floor and gripping their fists out of frustration and the servants were crying and some are even biting their lips. as they were looking like that Solomon started talking breaking the silence. "The gods are to look over and help the living beings on the surface while the demons are to punish them but as the celestials had continued their expansion over time the balance broke and the living beings started to corrupt from inside which is one of the reasons you had suffered all this time," he said that and the silence returned to the room again. I could hear sniffs and heavy breaths in the silences and after some moments were passed in silence– "I–" I talked. when I started to talk everyone looked at me. I felt a little tense when they looked at me in silence since I am not good at socializing with people. I mustered up the courage and said. "I think
20 years ago, the time where the demon king generation before Solomon lucifer and the group were ruling the underworld. in an island somewhere in the underworld. in a small house, there was a mother who was giving birth to her child. the house was in a village and the people of the village all were waiting outside the house while the father was moving restlessly around with a tense face. "waaahhh, waahhh" after some time passed there was a loud cry from the baby that was born from the mother. it was a healthy baby boy. mother was sweaty yet smiling from the bottom of her heart and the father held the baby that was crying out loud with tears around his eyes. he was saying something to the baby who was crying. as they were happily celebrating. *shineeee* "What!!!?" the baby's body started to shine in red and seeing that the father who was holding the baby was startled and was worried and the mother was frightened. as they were all worrie
"master Solomon we brought him to the place." we all moved and were sitting in a luxurious living room on the couches. Solomon was sitting beside me and all the other demon kings were sitting in crouches as the servants were standing behind them. the servants of Solomon who went to bring my new teacher came back and reported to Solomon "there it is katsu. your new master who is going to teach you how to control the red dragon" Solomon said that and Alphonse continued "Although we did not give him any specifics about you. so you also don't tell him anything about coming back from dead. we will tell him everything in a meeting." then Dante spoke "he came so that we can just show you to him." "I see" when I was saying that Solomon stood up "shall we go then?" "Yeah, sure" I am kind of nervous to see this new master of mine. they said he was pretty strong and strict but, a great teacher. "so
