Athena and Lily looked at the Lycan, their teeth gritting.

“Should I kill that thing…”

“Cut off the arms and legs first. Then the torso. Chest. Head last. ”

“That’s too fast. How about chopping it up into pieces by the fingers?”

“…..Yeah. You’re right.”

I couldn’t help but be amazed at the sight I was seeing for the first time in my life.

I’ve never seen Lily and Athena talk so amicably before.

Of course, the content of that conversation was extremely gruesome…

An atmosphere where it wouldn’t be strange if it exploded at any time.

In the tense atmosphere, it was Arbes who stepped forward first.

She walked forward with a proud gait, drawing everyone’s attention.

“Once my subordinates, demons. Look at the real me!”

At Arbes’ words, the demons, whose numbers easily surpassed thousands, began to show various reactions.

Some people started to get very agitated by Arbes’ appearance.

Some people had a smile on their face, as if they found this situation amusing.

Some others were gnashing their teeth at Arbes, considering him a traitor.

Despite receiving numerous intense stares, Arbes continued speaking with a calm expression.

“Speak without any order. I will end this war. Not with victory or defeat for anyone, but with peace for all.”

The demons were greatly surprised by her completely unexpected words.

“If you truly desire bloodshed and slaughter, I will gladly deal with you. However, if there is anyone who agrees with my will even a little bit…come over here right now.”

Her voice was full of intimidation. Despite this, no one dared to step forward.

A cold, still surrounding without any movement.

It was a situation where no one agreed with Arbes’ intentions.

But still, Arbes stood quietly and continued to look at the crowd of demons.

After a long period of silence,

“Eh..eight I don’t know!”

A few silhouettes flying among the numerous demons.

They all had something in common.

Wings that resemble those of a bat.

Above all, both men and women had gorgeous appearances.

She and all of them flew quickly and clung to Sephir behind them.

“Sephire! I missed you.”

“After all, our queen is none other than Sephiroth.”

“That Lartia. I didn’t like seeing her lately because she’s acting all weird, but Sephiroth took care of it, right? ”

Their true identities are Mongma. They were once under Sephir’s command.

“You..you guys..!”

Sephir smiled with a deeply moved expression. It was the happiest expression he had seen in recent times.

“I came here because I trusted Sephiroth!”

“That’s right..I don’t know about anything else, but Sephir’s survival instinct couldn’t be ignored.”

Sephir, as if telling his subordinates not to worry, straightened his shoulders and pointed his finger in our direction.

“Don’t worry! Can’t you see them? Trust us, we’ll take care of everything!”

“Huh? Then you should take the lead.”

“That’s…that’s a bit…”

Sephiroth immediately steps out.

And then.

One of the succubi who was looking our way pointed at me and shouted loudly.

“Huh?! Lord Sephir, isn’t that woman that woman?”

“Huh? Hera..? Have you seen her?”

The succubi I’m seeing for the first time seem to know me.

Sephir also tilted his head with a puzzled expression, as if he didn’t know what he was talking about.

“That’s right, that’s right. That’s the person?”

“…Do you know me?”

“Do you know Hera..?”

When Sephir asked, one of the succubi looked at me with a lecherous smile.

“The human that Sephire-nim kept as a pet! It was definitely like that before- ugh!!”

It was a very short time.

A brief moment that even Lily missed.

Sephir covered the succubus’ mouth with incredible speed.

“Ugh! Ugh!!”

Sephir shook his head strongly, looking at the succubus who was struggling with confused eyes.

“Ha…haha…what is he talking about? It’s…the first time I’ve heard it?”

Sephir, with a pale face and shaking eyes as if he was shaken by an earthquake, was looking around at his surroundings.

But Sephire soon found herself locked eyes with Athena.

“I’ll hear this story later, Sephir.”

“Hipp..”

Sephir began to murmur in response to Athena’s cold words.

“I…I’m dead..”

Leaving Sephir’s voice behind, filled with frustration, Arbes looked back at the group of demons and shouted.

“Can I consider those who do not step forward as enemies of the woman?”

Many demons flinch at her words.

In the midst of such conflicting opinions.

“You idiots!! Don’t forget your duty as a demon. We were born to enjoy killing and pleasure!”

As Lycan struck the ground with his axe, the ground split open with a loud noise.

The atmosphere seemed to flow to one side as Lycan spoke.

Arbes, who felt it, let out a short sigh and raised his voice again.

“The one who overcomes that bastard’s petty pressure and approaches with courage. Come over without hesitation, for I will not disappoint you.”

“Shut up! You incompetent demon who has been stripped of your power.”

Despite Lycan’s loud shout, Arbes looks at the demons with an indifferent face.

But he couldn’t wait forever. Arbes spoke to the demons with sharp eyes.

“I’ll give you 10 seconds to finish. Anyone who doesn’t come over after that will be considered an enemy, so think quickly.”

At Arbes’ last opportunity, several demons began to hurriedly break away from the group.

One like that. Two like that.

There was a line of demons following the leader’s movements.

A total of about a hundred demons were running towards us.

“There is only death for traitors!”

Unable to tolerate them like that, Lycan picked up his huge axe and blew it at them.

An axe flying towards the demons at incredible speed.

But just before reaching them, the axe suddenly collided with a blue barrier that appeared in midair.

With a loud noise that seemed to burst my eardrums, the axe flew back in its original direction.

“Is this the end?”

Mari raises her hands and glances at the demons who have safely crossed over.

Then, the previously dark sky of the Demon World began to be covered with blue lightning.

“I guess so. Less than two hundred people. I guess I wasn’t such a good king.”

Arbes looked at the other demons, including the succubus who had come over, and let out a laugh.

“Let your eyes clearly see how wise your choice was.”

The demons stared blankly ahead at Arbes’ confident words.

The place they had just been.

Arbes looked into my eyes and nodded.

I took a deep breath and looked at Marie with determined eyes.

“…Please.”

Soon, Marie, who had received my signal, lowered her hand that had been raised high in the sky and muttered softly.

“Heavenly punishment.”

Kwaaang-!!!

A flash of light appeared in the sky, and dozens of intense lightning bolts began to strike the ground simultaneously.

“Keuk!!”

“Kyaaak!!”

The screams of the demons can be heard everywhere.

Kuwaaah!

As the lightning ended, another lightning struck and came crashing down.

“Keuh-eok!”

“Avoid..Avoid!!”

But without giving me even an inch of rest.

Again.

BANG-!!

Boom–!!

Countless consecutive lightning strikes were burning the demons’ formation to the ground.

Couldn’t stand it any longer.

Lycan, who was blocking the lightning bolts coming down with his axe, looked at us with his eyes blazing menacingly and shouted.

“Are you just going to take it!! Eat those bitches right now!! I’ll give that woman as a reward to the guy who subdues those bitches!!”

At Lycan’s words, the demons started to run towards us, each letting out a different roar.

“Follow the Demon King’s orders!”

“You insignificant humans… I’ll kill you all!”

“Your face is pretty, so it would be perfect to have you as a slave!!”

“The Demon King is mine! I won’t make you regret betraying me all night long!!”

“Then I’ll eat the hero!! Hahahahaha!!”

The sight of thousands of demons rushing at once was so terrifying that it was almost disgusting.

It was as if a giant hale was coming down on us.

It was an overwhelming number, something I had never seen before in my life.

I couldn’t help but choke on the dry saliva in my throat as I watched the endless crowd. But Athena lightly patted my shoulder as if to reassure me.

“Hera. You’re not worried, are you?”

Athena’s eyes, like the sun. No, even more brilliant than that, calmed my heart.

Her calm attitude brought a smile to my face. I looked at her with a big smile on my face.

“Yeah. It’s okay now!”

At the end of my words, Athena extended her hand forward.

“Shine brightly. Lucette.”

She took a step towards the swarming crowd of demons, holding the golden sword that appeared in her hand.

But just one step. That’s it.

Athena stood there motionless, looking at the demons.

Lily, who was behind her, was also just holding the holy sword as if waiting for something.

Despite the seemingly urgent nature of the situation, Athena looked up at the sky with a relaxed expression.

“Are we there yet?”

If you follow Athena’s gaze, you will see.

Marie was muttering something with her eyes closed in the sky.

As if Athena’s question had been answered.

The ground began to shake slowly.

Subtly, but clearly, the ground shook.

The ground, which had been shaking slightly, began to shake more intensely.

Kugugugugugugu-

It was as if the earth was awakening. It began to make a huge roar.

Soon Marie slowly opened her eyes.

He looked down at the demons with his long, torn, bloody eyes.

“Destruction.”

Marie’s words conclude.

The world has turned upside down.
