“So. When does it end?”

The Demon King spoke, unable to take his eyes off Hesillaya.

Then the succubus, who was wearing overly revealing clothes, answered, placing one finger on her chin.

“Hmm…no one knows. The time it falls apart varies depending on the individual’s personality…”

“Tendency?”

“Yes. The better the character, or the more passionately they love and dedicate themselves to someone, the longer it takes to break them.”

“Hmm..”

“Still, it does take a long time. Usually, it will be over in less than an hour at most.”

The Demon King grimaced at the succubus’s words.

If there is a demon called Dream Eater that turns happy memories into horrible nightmares, a cruel spell that can recreate them as if they were real.

It has been said that time in the dream world passes about 100 times slower than real time.

But Hesillaya has been trapped there for over five hours now.

That means that Hesillaya’s love for Athena far exceeded the normal level.

“I don’t like it.”

I thought all hope was lost, but I didn’t know that such a strong feeling still remained inside me.

“Well, if you wait a little longer, you’ll be able to get the perfect doll.”

The succubus clung to the Demon King and smiled lecherously, but the Demon King paid no attention and just looked at Hesillaya.

After some time passed like that.

A demon guarding the Demon King’s Castle came running in, out of breath, with a loud commotion.

“Your Majesty!!”

As the Demon King frowned at the unwanted interruption, the demon who suddenly appeared immediately knelt down and bowed down to her.

“Sorry..I’m sorry..this is an emergency so I’ll stop..”

“If it doesn’t suit my taste, I’ll have to stick my neck out.”

The demon swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth at the demon king’s harsh words.

“Treason…Treason has occurred.”

“What?”

The Demon King asked, raising one eyebrow.

The demon said the rest of the story while sweating profusely.

“Right now, most of the soldiers, including Lycan, have rebelled in front of the gate! Tyros is blocking it, but I don’t know how long he will hold out.”

The Demon King began to ponder for a moment as the situation became more serious than he had expected.

After a while, the Demon King, having finished his thoughts, turned his gaze to the succubus and spoke to her.

“I’ll be back soon, so keep an eye out to make sure nothing happens to Hesillaya.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

A succubus bowing her head politely to show respect.

After finishing speaking, the Demon King muttered to himself with a very annoyed expression on his face.

“These things are bound to upset this woman.”

*

“Get out of the way, Tyrus!”

The giant lion roared with a mighty voice.

But despite his overwhelming roar, Tyros silently stood guard in front of the gate.

Even though there were already countless corpses of demons piled up in front of his feet, the number of demons who had rebelled did not seem to decrease at all.

But Tyrus didn’t care at all.

“Traitors will never reach the Demon King.”

“Do you think the Demon King is the same as before? He’s just a weak demon who’s caught up in useless emotional games.”

“…..”

It was a statement that could not be completely denied.

Even Tyrus could see that the Demon King was definitely not the same vicious person he used to be.

But I didn’t care at all.

Strong or weak. Vicious or kind.

Because his heart that decided to serve with his life has not changed at all.

“No one can go to the Demon King.”

Tyrus stabbed his sword into the ground.

A huge pitch-black wall appeared on either side of him.

Seeing him like that, Lycan clicked his tongue and stepped forward.

“I thought he had the spirit of a warrior. But he was a pathetic, tightly shut guy.”

As he brought the huge axe in his hand down to the ground, the ground around him began to shake violently.

He growled and shouted, looking at Tyros with his pupils wide open.

“I’ll tear it apart for you.”

“You don’t know the topic.”

Two strong men stepping out of the ground like that.

But before their intense energies collided.

Tyrus paused for a moment.

He immediately stepped back and let go of his strength.

“What are you doing?”

Tyros ignored Lycan’s calm words, focused on something for a moment, then quickly stepped aside, putting his sword back in its scabbard.

“It is the Demon King’s order. Go in.”

The demon legions are shaken by the unexpected situation.

The Lycan put his axe down again and began to laugh loudly.

“Hahaha! You don’t want to hide your butt? At least you’ll die like a king.

Tyros made no reply to his sarcasm.

Just silently follow the Demon King’s orders.

“Get out of the way. I will soon bring the head of your master.”

The Lycan and Demon Legions enter the gates with huge smiles.

Tyros looked at them and thought to himself.

There is nothing quite like the sight of a moth running towards a flame.

A space inside the huge Demon King’s Castle that extends from the entrance.

Arbes, who was sitting on his magnificent throne, slowly lowered his eyes and looked at the cheeky insects in front of him.

“Yeah. Treason?”

“Come down from your throne, Demon King. We have no intention of serving weaklings like you any longer.”

The Lycan thrust his huge axe forward in a threatening manner.

The Demon King rose from his throne with an indifferent expression and began to approach him.

“You will have to pay a heavy price for interrupting Jim’s time.”

With each step she took, an indescribable pressure began to weigh on the demons.

But as soon as the Lycan let out a huge roar forward, the killing aura that had been pressing down on the surroundings disappeared.

“No matter how sharp the claws are, there is only one person. There is no need to be afraid.”

The demons begin to regain their confidence at his words.

They all had different fires burning in their eyes.

“Go and bite that coward who destroyed the Demon’s ambitions!!”

With Lycan’s words, countless demons began to rush towards her as if in a single wave.

An overwhelming number that would make anyone hesitate for a moment.

But the Demon King’s face was infinitely flat.

As the Demon King extended his hand forward, a huge pitch-black wave began to overwhelm them.

When the battle ends.

No, to be exact, the time until the 2nd Corps Commander, who had thousands of demons and great power, was annihilated.

It didn’t even take ten minutes.

*

“Hmm… I wonder who the Demon King is that he cares so much about.”

Sephir’s right-hand man who once held the position of 4th Army Corps Commander.

A succubus with orange hair. Laltia looked ahead with curious eyes.

A poor woman possessed by a terrible demon called the Dream Eater.

But unlike before when he would only scream, he was completely quiet. He would probably wake up soon.

Of course, even if that happens, it wouldn’t be much different from being dead.

“What’s wrong? Thanks to you, I was able to get a seat, haha..”

The reason he cooperated with the Demon King by offering up a rare demon called Dream Eater was not simply because of loyalty.

The vacancy created when Sephirah stepped down.

The Demon King promised that if he could accomplish this, he would hand over the position of commander.

Lartia couldn’t hide her joy at the thought that she could finally gain great power.

At that time, I was excited about what I would do if I took the position of commander.

[Kuhuhu.. Dream Eater.. The Demon King really is incredibly cruel.]

From behind him, he heard a dreary voice that every cell instinctively rejected.

As I turned my creaking head, Lartia’s eyes began to tremble violently.

“Me…Melumni..”

[Hand over the woman. She is not something you can touch.]

As Melum began to slowly approach the woman, Lertia immediately ran forward and stopped him.

“I’m sorry, Melum. It’s the Demon King’s order to keep watch.”

Melum opened one empty eye wide and looked at Lertia.

[Do you really think I would follow that order?]

“…..”

Lartia is not stupid.

The situation is that the commander of the 2nd Corps rebelled and led the corps to attack.

And that’s when he appeared while the Demon King was away.

Maybe he was waiting for this opportunity.

“That…still won’t do.”

However, you should not leave the woman like this.

It was obvious what would happen to me if I left the position of commander and failed to safely carry out the Demon King’s orders.

I probably won’t die nicely.

[Kuuu… Are you afraid of being killed by the Demon King?]

As Melum opened his mouth wide, a green haze began to fill the surrounding area outside his mouth.

[Then how about being my mouse for life instead? If you’re a high-level succubus… that might not be a bad material.]

“Eek..”

I could tell that it wasn’t empty words.

Melum, who reached the pinnacle of black magic. What did he do to get to that level? Because his notoriety was widely known.

Lartia’s mind began to spin quickly.

Which one to follow to have a higher chance of survival.

Or at least, maybe I could die less painfully.

And the answer to that dilemma is.

Unfortunately, it was on Melum’s side.

“Okay..I’ll step back.”

She immediately starts to run away, her buttocks sticking out.

Mellum burst into laughter at her appearance.

[You’re smart. You’re smart. As expected from a succubus who’s good at worldly things.]

He turned his head to see a woman suffering from a nightmare, engulfed in a dream eater. His mouth gaped open.

[Finally…I can study you.]

With those words, Melum disappeared with the woman.
