Otherworld Demon King Survival Guide.

Episode 200: Reunion (3)

Wasn’t a saint someone who held a very high position? And since Karuti was telling us this information, it’s clear they were in a very important position!

There’s no time!

We needed to hear everything we can!

“So, the saint was driven out by the Angelic Faction? And now she’s fleeing to this remote land?”

“That’s right! Exactly!”

Refreshing confirmation!

“By the way, what about the original power of the saint?”

“I know she was practically the second-in-command of the Goddess Cult!”

As expected, amazing!

We could ask the nuns about the saint! Plans were forming in my mind. If we could get the saint, it would be really good.

Making her a sex slave and receiving her loyalty until her back broke was just a default. If she held such a high position… she could be useful in many ways. We couldn’t stay in the jungle forever. If we trained the saint and made her ours, she could be very useful when we advance into the human world.

“In Karuti’s judgment, we should actively use the Anti-Angelic Faction!”

I agreed.

Though I was a demon, to resolve this situation, I needed to get along well with one side. Naturally, it would be easier to use the Anti-Angelic Faction. Using a trained saint wouldn’t be too difficult.

“The fleeing saint has considerable renown! She could become the focal point for the Anti-Angelic Faction!”

“I think so too.”

Should we set up the saint as the face and promote the Anti-Angelic campaign? Although we looked like demons, if we trained the saint to be on our side, we could receive direct protection.

“Wait. Karuti. But no matter what, driving out the saint of the Goddess Cult like that is not good worldwide, right? Wouldn’t it actually harm the angel side?”

Even though the saint, who was the second-in-command of the largest religious organization and highly respected, was being chased. Even supporters of angels would feel great resentment in this situation. This would eventually lead to losses for the angels.

“Huh? Worldwide, what are you talking about?”

“What?”

“Kyuse-oppa. Ordinary humans don’t even know that the saint has fallen.”

“Oh.”

Oh.

That’s right.

I was mistaken for a moment. Just because the saint was fleeing didn’t mean the residents of this world would know anything. It’s a world without TV.

“Anyway! Overall, the Angelic Faction’s influence is still stronger!”

That’s right. No matter how much the rulers resisted, ordinary people couldn’t help but feel favorably towards angels. In such a situation, naturally, the Angelic Faction would be stronger.

“Even the lords and nobles are pondering where to align!”

A bigger war was imminent.

If a war initiated by the angels engulfs the human world, we must seize the benefits. It’s fortunate we had expanded our power this much.

Honestly, my force wasn’t insignificant. Think of it as a band of thieves or bandits at the company level. And it’s a band of thieves with a cavalry.

It would not easy to subdue this. Old rulers and warlords also dragged their military groups around like this, absorbing here and there to form kingdoms. A sort of Yellow Turbans… Ah. We’re not numerous enough to be Yellow Turbans. The Three Kingdoms had an extreme population, so it’s not possible.

“So… Kyuse-oppa, make sure to use this situation well! If the angels gain more power, both you and the Demon World will be finished! I’ll do my best to help, so do your best!”

“Got it, Karuti! I’ll properly thank you next time when I have more time! I’ll use the given information well!”

“Yeah… Oh! Time’s up!”

“Right! What about the barony up ahead?”

“It’s still fifty-fifty, but Karuti thinks it’s likely to be angelic- Squeal!”

Suddenly, the Evil Eye let out a bizarre scream and melted away.

“Oh.”

The summoning time was up.

“Goodbye, Karuti.”

Still, it wasn’t short. It was a very beneficial time. The human world had been divided into Angelic and Anti-Angelic factions, with wars breaking out everywhere, and the fallen saint fleeing to this remote land.

Good.

–Thump.

I sat down and meditated, constantly thinking about the information I gained today so as not to forget even the smallest detail.

Karuti’s information. I received it well. It would be nice if I could keep receiving external information like this. Well, let’s do what needs to be done now.

“Attention everyone!”

After organizing my thoughts, I gathered all the members of my dungeon in the training ground. I intend to inform everyone about what happened.

We were one family. If something important happened, everyone should be informed.

“Do you remember the commotion earlier?”

“Keruk! I remember!”

Buril answered on behalf of everyone.

“You’re curious about what it was! So, I’ll tell you! It’s important!”

Let’s start explaining right away.

“First of all, you know that I am a demon from the Demon World! Like the angel Lilriel over there who came from the High Heavens, I too am from the Demon World. And I have family in the Demon World!”

This much was known to everyone.

“Earlier, an Evil Eye visited the dungeon! The Evil Eye is a demon summoned by demonic magic! The one who sent the Evil Eye was none other than my sister!”

–Dun dun!

“Keruruek?!”

“What!”

“Shasha!”

Expressions of surprise burst forth at the mention of my sister. I hadn’t particularly revealed this before. It’s not strange that they’re surprised.

“Yes. It must be surprising. I have a sister and a mother. Anyway, that sister has been a great help. She told me about how the humans outside are living.”

“…!”

My personal guards were greatly agitated by that remark. Since becoming my subordinates, they hadn’t known how the human world was operating. Let’s take this opportunity to clear up their doubts.

“Angels have descended into the human world. And they are forming alliances with the powerful.”

“What, what!”

At those words, Lilriel jumped up.

“Lilriel, you listen carefully too!”

“Ah, understood!”

I shouted loudly to calm her down so I could start speaking. Then I slowly began to convey what I heard from Karuti and my own thoughts.

To ensure my family could fully understand everything.

After the explanation.

Everyone was sent back into the dungeon. I approached the private room of the guards to have a separate conversation and heard the voices of Reika and Irene.

“Hey, damn! Those angel bastards are really doing all kinds of things! How dare they do such things!”

“Lilriel! Are you in your right mind!”

Were they blaming Lilriel?

“Why, why blame me! I didn’t do it!”

“But if you were there, you would have done the same thing, wouldn’t you!”

“That’s too much!”

We couldn’t have internal strife…!

“Calm down. Lilriel is our comrade now.”

“Vanessa!”

Thank goodness Vanessa had some sense.

“Yes. We must get along as family. Lilriel is now a valuable subordinate of our Demon King Castle.”

“Ah!”

When I entered and spoke, Lilriel’s face showed she was moved. Cute thing. She’s completely on our side now.

“Lady Irene. Don’t be too harsh. We are family, aren’t we?”

“Uh, ugh… That’s true. I’m sorry, Lilriel. I couldn’t control my emotions…”

“Ah, understood.”

Good.

“But to think a war would break out because of the angels… This is serious.”

“Well, considering what Lilriel said when she first came, it’s only natural.”

Vanessa responded to Ruby’s comment.

“That’s true.”

Anyway.

Let’s start the discussion.

At that moment.

“Hey.”

Reika called me.

“Lady Reika?”

“So… is it true that the saint is on the run?”

“As far as I heard. And I have some questions about the saint, could you tell me?”

“Are you planning to capture her?”

“Is there any point in saying more?”

Of course.

“I heard she’s fleeing to this remote area. She might change direction in the middle, but if we can capture her, it would be significant.”

“That’s crazy.”

“Hehehe, don’t be so harsh. Just listen to the plan first.”

I wanted to discuss this.

“I intend to actively use this situation. If done well, we can solidify our power. First, we must capture the saint. I plan to turn the dark elves into proper soldiers.”

Some dark elves were still rebellious. As we moved to the next stage, we couldn’t leave such rebellious beings behind.

We would thoroughly train them all to become our family.

“Wait. There’s something crucial.”

“What is it, Lady Vanessa?”

“I understand you plan to advance into the human world. But aren’t we demons? Rushing out to the barony won’t lead to anything good.”

“You’re right.”

That’s why the saint was important.

No matter what, we must capture her.

“That’s why capturing the saint is crucial. Once we capture and train her, she can become our spokesperson.”

“Tr-train…”

“You know my training skills, don’t you?”

“Ugh! Speaking such vulgar words!”

Vanessa blushed. Not only her, but everyone rubbed their thighs and averted their eyes as I made a hand gesture.

“So, this is the most important thing.”

The most important thing.

“We need to find out what’s happening in the barony. Where the saint is fleeing to and how. We must actively gather this information.”

That meant gathering information directly.

“What…? Do you mean secretly sending spies or something like that?”

“Yes.”
