Chapter 424
Divided into 6 bases, the pouring out forces of the demon world devour major cities and kingdoms of each continent and launched an all-out offensive.
And unfortunately, the Baikal Empire, which had this Hell Gate in its own domain.
It was the most powerful place on the European continent, but it was impossible to stop the all-out attack of demons that existed only in this myth with only human power.
“Your Majesty the Emperor of Fire... please...”
The final moment when even the last guardian who defended himself collapsed while bleeding. The emperor of the Baikal Empire sighed in despair at the fact that the demons who had already completely taken over the entire palace were staring at him from all sides and salivating.
“This... this can’t be...”
He ascended to the throne and ruled the empire for decades. Seeing that the empire he had been protecting for such a long time collapsed in a single moment, he was enraged in futility. However, his body was so decrepit that he could not even wield the sword properly. Sensing that this was the end for himself... and this empire, he fell to his knees without realizing it.
“Kurrururr.....”
Then, the hideous witches began to react as if they would attack at any moment. He closed his eyes, looking at the sharp teeth that seemed to split him in half in one blow, but no blows came.
“You seem to be the lord of this land.”
A woman slowly approaches from afar. With a beautiful appearance that exudes a fatal charm that makes you fall in love just by looking at it, she approached the emperor of the Baikal Empire with a lofty gait unlike her voluptuous body. Then he said hello in a polite way.
“A mid-level Demon belonging to the 6th Corps of Pandemonium. Meet the lord of men.”
The beasts, who had been snarling fiercely as if they were about to attack at any moment, became quiet as if they had never done so when she appeared. However, the emperor began to tremble uncontrollably from fear that he felt incomparable to before.
‘Evil... demon...?\'
demon tribe.
Also called demons, beings who live in the Demon Realm, a completely different and independent dimension from Arcadia. Stories and records related to them could be found in countless places, but the experience of directly facing the demons was extremely rare.
[The beings of hell summoned by the black magicians are just inferior beasts without intelligence. Basically, those who are called real demons with bloodlines lend only part of their powers through contracts and do not directly appear in Arcadia. This is...]
Being bound by numerous restrictions, an existence that could not come over to Arcadia unless an enormous sacrifice was made in return. If you recall the stories of extremely rare demons that appeared in countless tragedies that stained the entire continent with blood in the past, the existence of the mid-level demons in front of you was truly terrifying.
“Ho-ho-ho. I\'m a noble being who can\'t be compared to those low-level demons, so don\'t worry too much. I have no intention of preying on you.”
A woman who lightly flicks her fingers as if she is not eating. Then, the witches instantly scattered somewhere.
“Have you calmed down now?”
A woman who smiles as if all the intruders have disappeared, and puts her face right in front of him with a seductive smile. However, a small horn rising above her head, her pupils that were torn like snakes, and the small black wings on her back clearly showed that she was not human.
“...what the hell is this about?”
He seemed to lose his mind at any moment, but as a monarch, he answered with dignity until the end. He gave him an incomprehensible answer.
“What are you doing? I am going to make you a very honorable and great offer.”
“Any suggestions?”
“The monarch I serve. I\'m trying to serve the great dark lord in a different way from other demons. I believe that we should not simply come forward and kill, take away, and subjugate those who resist, but rather make them kneel because they truly want to.”
Succubus Queen, Lord of Lust and Desire. As a member of the 6th Corps led by Lilith and a middle-class demon of the succubus clan, Liene, who set out on the task of conquering this continent, was trying to do business in a more sophisticated way.
Roaring.
Flames rose in her hand, and a black scroll soon appeared. She said as she pushed through the one on which something was written on it.
“Swear your obedience to our great dark lord. If you just agree to and sign this contract here, you will be able to live as the ruler of this land as you are now.”
“What... what...?”
He who had just given up on life. However, at her sweet whispers, which suddenly urged him to sign the contract and promised that if he did so, he would be able to continue ruling the Baikal Empire, he began to read the thick scroll in his hand with an expression of incomprehension.
“What the hell is this...?”
“why. Is there any problem?”
“People in all realms governed by the parties to the contract are regarded as belonging to the demon realm and absolutely obey the laws and regulations of the demon realm. In addition, when the future life ends, the ownership of the soul is permanently reverted to the demon realm, and it cannot be denied in any way...?”
An absurd contract full of all sorts of toxic clauses. To put it simply, at the idea of eating the souls of all human beings living in the present Baikal Empire.
“What does it matter what happens to other humans? The important thing is that you can sit on that throne again and rule as the king of humans without dying here.”
He whispered in a soft voice, “Give away the comfort of others.” And she asked, gently kneading the emperor\'s body here and there with both hands.
“Is there anything else you want? territory? strength? youth? goldfinch? If there\'s anything you want, just say it. I will put my name on it and grant that wish.”
However, at that proposal, the emperor closed his eyes tightly and thought hard, then pushed her away and shouted.
“Where is the ugly seed of evil playing dirty tricks!”
Even though it was the moment when he met his end, he was still the emperor who ruled this empire in name and color for decades. That\'s why he couldn\'t do anything to throw all the souls of the people of this land, including himself, into the clutches of demons.
“If you want to kill me, kill me. I don\'t know, but the soul of this empire wouldn\'t dare do anything to you. I would rather die proudly as an emperor right now than to become your pitiful dog through such a ridiculous contract.”
“....is it so....?”
Liane smiled coldly for an instant at the emperor\'s fierce refusal. And then she came closer to the face of the emperor who was breathing heavily with a terrified face and whispered.
“I\'m sorry, but that\'s not what you meant.”
“what....? town....!”
Lillene suddenly kisses the emperor. It would have been like a dream for a man to kiss a beautiful woman first, but the emperor struggled amid fierce resistance.
But she doesn\'t budge and continues to kiss her. And not long after, after the emperor had calmed down, Lianne slowly opened her mouth and asked with a decadent smile.
“how is it? Have you changed your mind now...?”
Unlike before, the gaze of the emperor with the gun missing. The emperor, who had been staring at Liane with a blank face, soon lowered his head and said,
“Yes, Master.”
Calling him master, he picks up the contract he just threw and writes his signature on it himself. The mid-level demon, who had achieved tremendous results in collecting the souls of the entire empire with a single contract, murmured with her enchanting eyes shining.
“Yes... Now you have become a cute dog that listens to me.”
The emperor sat on the throne with satisfied eyes and looked over the documents as if nothing had happened. After looking at him for a moment as if he was going to continue his normal routine, he turned around.
Flames burning everywhere and black smoke billowing violently.
All kinds of Demonic Beasts that fly, run, and unleash their power to their heart\'s content.
And despair and fear from all sides. and screams of death.
Stepping out of the imperial palace, what she faced was the view of the capital of the Baikal Empire overlooking from the imperial castle located at the highest point.
“Haah .....”
The most satisfactory and happy moment for her, who is a devil who eats and lives and feels joy. That time when you unconsciously tremble in your eyes and moan at the rush of pleasure.
Black flames began to rise in front of her eyes.
“oh? Why do you contact me first?”
She muttered as if she was really surprised. However, the voice that came from the flames was full of irritation towards her.
[Shut up, you damn foxy bitch. Do you think I do it because I want to?]
“Hmm..... Well, our elite first corps can\'t be like that. What is it?”
[A new order has been issued.]
“Orders...? suddenly....?”
Even before they set foot in Arcadia, they had thoroughly established their strategy for each corps. She is following the perfect plan conceived through hundreds of thousands of inspections. However, she was puzzled by the sudden new order, and when she heard the contents, she shouted in bewilderment.
“What are you talking about? Advance to the Central Continent? Isn’t that the last target to attack?”
[Who doesn\'t know that? Suddenly, drag everything right away and deal with it from there.]
“No... the humans over there are of different levels... You know that you can\'t win with the current level, right?”
The other continents are relatively even and equally prosperous in Arcadia.
But among those continents, there was one most unusually strong.
The Korean continent of the past located in the center of Arcadia.
Unlike other places, it is an abnormal place where victory cannot be guaranteed until a corps commander descends directly.
That\'s why it was the last place to attack, but the sudden order to attack there was completely incomprehensible to her.
[I\'m going to jump into the world tree\'s den right now and smash everything.]
“The world tree...? Are you suddenly touching it?”
During the last Holy War.
The World Tree remained neutral without being on either side in the fierce confrontation between angels and demons.
When told to attack them, Lianne asked again, wondering if what she heard was correct.
“No... are you sure about that? Shouldn’t we start by striking the remaining sacred kingdoms?”
The most powerful Holy Empire has collapsed, but the Holy Kingdoms still remain on several continents. She thought it was right to prioritize attacking those places first, so she asked without raising her suspicious eyes.
“Where the hell did that order come from? Haven\'t you heard anything from our corps yet?”
But the answer to that question was simple.
[This is my order.]
“What...?”
A cold voice suddenly came through their secret communication network.
Because of that, Liane kept her mouth shut as if her thoughts had stopped for a moment, but soon after realizing who the owner of the voice was, she stuttered with a contemplative face.
“Uh... how...”
The great dark lord.
Ruler of all the fallen and ruler of Hell.
Satan, the demon lord of chaos.
All the demons who crossed over to Arcadia, including Liene, could clearly hear the orders he gave himself.
[Immediately jump to the Central Continent and kill the saplings. okay? As for the last bastard, I start with the corps commander later and beat him one after another.]
