“Rhenias. All preparations are complete. Just as the dragon said, it truly feels like a new territory of the Demon World.”

“Really? Looks like the dragon got the job done right.”

The demon world can be said to be the home of demons. It also referred to a continent where demons from other planets took root.

The Demon Realm, which originally existed in the same space as the continent where humanity lives, was completely separated into another dimension by Prinia’s space cutting, making it impossible to take a single step forward.

Thus, it was Akasha who came to the demons who were rotting inside the demon world without any way to do anything.

From the beginning, none of the demons readily believed Akasha’s words that she could bring all demons out of the barrier.

Meanwhile, the person who listened to Akasha’s story seriously was ‘Rhenias Belphegor’, who is said to be one of the demons closest to the next demon king.

Contrary to his name, which seems to be the height of laziness, he was the most hardworking and enterprising among the demons, and although very suspicious, he actually captured Akasha, the only opportunity left for the demons.

“I am offended, Mr. Rhenias. I’m still not sure if I can trust what that dragon said.”

“… It’s true that demons are not only in a lax mental state these days, but also have a screw loose. If a demonized person cannot even believe in the weight of the contract, what can he believe in? It’s so pathetic.”

“Sorry, sorry.”

contract. A minimum safety device to establish a minimum level of order and law in the powerful demon world. All demons value contracts, and if they are broken carelessly, they are reduced to ashes. Neither Rhenias, the supreme demon, nor the lowest demon who spoke to him can be an exception to this.

It was also the background to the fact that no new demon king was born within the demon world, which had fallen into chaos and decline after Prinia’s space rupture.

In any case, the contract between these demons was not absolute only between them. In any mutual contract, if one party is a demon, the other party, like the demon, places its existence on the scale in the contract.

Therefore, it means that since you have made a contract with Akasha, there is no need to take it lightly.

‘The long period of peace has become more toxic than I thought… But that’s probably the same for humans as well.’

Rhenias tightened his fists. Because he was the first to join hands with the dragon, he had the opportunity to be the first to get out of the barrier. If I went out like this and achieved more achievements, it was not a dream to ascend to the throne of the Demon King.

‘It’s okay for me to become the Demon Lord, but it’s okay if I don’t… But more than anything, it’s clear that it’s a great opportunity to develop children’s power.’

Whether or not he inherited Belphegor’s name, having his bloodline demons become stronger was a more valuable opportunity than Rhenias himself becoming a demon king. Because of the quiet demon world so far, young demons will no longer be unable to do their part.

After thinking that, Rhenias prepared his mind and confidently gave the command.

“Come on, let’s go! My children. Descend once again to the land of the continent and teach humans what fear is!”

“Yes!”

With thunderous shouts, Rhenias’ troops finally became the first among the demons to move toward the main continent where humans lived.

As the new space of the demon world was felt beyond the disconnected space that was originally supposed to be tightly closed, the demons felt an overwhelming emotion at the gradually approaching reality.

The new space of the Demon World is around Akasha’s Lair. It was a new demon world and continent that Akasha had built using the plants of the demon world and her own magic.

The demons were able to see that it was a land filled with life, fundamentally different from the demon world they lived in, and this immediately stimulated their desire to conquer. So much so that you can’t help but cheer.

“Hey…!”

Suddenly!

However, the cheers that came out for the first time became silence as the voice was blown away before it could be completed. And before the other demons around were even aware of the situation, the sword was swung once again.

Whilick! Suddenly!

“Quaaaak!”

It was only when those who had parts other than their necks blown off by the indiscriminately swung sword began to scream that the situation was finally spread to the demons. The fact that I was attacked by someone as soon as I left the demon world.

“I came here to catch a disgusting guy, but suddenly a bunch of guys just as disgusting appear… I don’t know if I should be happy or annoyed by this…”

“Who are you!”

“Huh? me? Umm… no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think we’re on the same page, but you can’t tell just by looking at me?”

“How do we know who you are…!”

Suddenly!

Once again, the demon’s head flew off. The hideous white sword that cut the skin of a strong demon like a piece of paper, which would not have shed a single drop of blood on a normal blade, was once again stained with blood.

At this point, even the demons who had forgotten many things due to the oblivion brought about by time could not help but notice.

“Hero…!”

“At first glance, I think they killed a hundred people, but it was too late to find out. As soon as I saw it, I recognized it at a glance. Does this hurt my pride?”

With a light snap of the wrist, the warrior shook off the demon blood from the holy sword and revealed his name with a cruel smile.

“I am Wayne, a warrior of my time. Of course, I’m not happy at all.”

As soon as she finished speaking, perhaps expecting an answer, she swung her sword again. It was to eliminate at least one more demon.

Kaang!

But this time the holy sword was blocked. When Wayne saw the demon holding the holy sword with his bare hands without any special armor, a strange look appeared in Wayne’s eyes.

“Hmm?”

“He said he wasn’t in a relationship to reveal his name, but he gave his name easily.”

“…Oh, I’m not particularly curious about your names. Still, you probably want to know who’s going to die. First of all, I would say it is my own form of chivalry.”

“If I reveal my name, will it be a full name?”

“…Well, you could see it that way.”

“Pandart Belphegorda. I’m so glad to meet the human warrior I’ve only heard about.”

“Seeing as they have a last name, they seem to be quite high-ranking demons. That’s similar to humans.”

That’s how Wayne interpreted the blockage of his holy sword. In fact, Pandart was a power that was completely different from the low-level demons that had been cut with a single sword.

The problem was the gap between information and reality created over thousands of years. Pandart had power worthy of a high-ranking demon, but Wayne was different from an ordinary warrior.

“How about we get a glimpse of the power of human warriors that we have only heard about from the words of our ancestors?”

“Hmm. try. I don’t know how much time I will have to learn.”

Wayne’s sword turned golden. The power gained through the pact with Arjen, the strongest dragon in the world, was added to the holy sword.

Suddenly!

“Huh?”

Pandart did not immediately know what had happened. A warm feeling filled his hand, which was holding the holy sword, and before he knew it, his palm was cut off cleanly, leaving only his thumb.

And before the brain realized the phenomenon and the body could react, Wayne’s sword, which had regained its freedom, sliced Pandart’s face horizontally.

The demons naturally had no choice but to remain silent after seeing Pandart’s body with the cheekbone area cleanly cut off. The moment he made even the slightest noise, the fear that he might be the next to lose his head took over the atmosphere.

“Why are you so stiff? Those who were cheering at the thought of invading humanity just a moment ago.”

If there were no camp logic, there was no mercy in Wayne’s expression, so much so that it would have been confusing who to define as evil. And Rhenias, who was watching all of this, sighed.

“Ha… That damn dragon… You forgot to mention that there is such a thing.”

It wasn’t Akasha’s fault. This is because warriors are the risk factor that demons consider to be the first priority. It was right for the demons to always be wary of her without Akasha needing to tell them.

However, Wayne’s strength, which received Arjen’s power, was on a different level from that of past warriors. So much so that even Rhenias himself, a demon who fought against humanity thousands of years ago, could not believe it.

Akasha, who was watching the situation in the underworld even though she was in space, also felt perplexed.

‘How could this happen….’

No matter how much Akashara I was, I couldn’t anticipate everything and prepare countermeasures accordingly. Moreover, the person we are dealing with this time is none other than God. Therefore, even if all kinds of cases were assumed, it was inevitable that gaps would arise.

However, when I opened the lid, Stella and Prinia did not exceed my expectations. But Wayne, who thought it was so insignificant that it wasn’t even worth preparing for, did the right thing.

‘The compatibility between heroes and demons is much greater than I thought.’

Akasha could easily deal with Wayne even if he received Arjen’s power. Not only is he a powerful dragon, but he also finished preparing for Stella’s divine power a long time ago.

No matter how well you hit it, if you reveal its true power, you can deal with it without any trouble. Moreover, since he had acquired his faith, Wayne was truly ‘none of his business’.

However, from the demons’ point of view, Wayne was a disaster itself. First of all, there was a basic compatibility between the warrior and the demon, but there was no preparation at all for the dragon’s power.

Because of this, the demons that were out in the world, and one individual thought that 500 human troops were funny, were swept away like fallen leaves in front of Wayne.

If Akasha had given the demons a plan to prepare for dragons, the division would not have spread to this extent.

And of course, there is no way a dragon in its right mind would tell the demons how to prepare for a dragon.

In any case, it was Akasha’s mistake as she decided to join hands with the demons but did not completely trust them.
