Volume 2 Chapter 8 The Dismissed Aide and the Foolish Four Heavenly Kings 4
Demon King Four Heavenly King Iliga decided to raise his army and march on the Royal Capital, where Act and the other gathered, to reclaim the Evil Dragon Vivre.
Far from the North Wall, in the Human nation of Gaetaniga.
On the prairie near the Royal Capital, a massive army of demonic creatures awaited.
"Sir Iliga, we are in position."
Commanding the army was Tzuqaine, the Four Kings' aide.
He had brought most of the soldiers stationed at the North Wall all the way to the Royal Capital.
"Alright. Let's DESTROY the Royal Capital first and reclaim Vivre. Then, we'll CRUSH the Human nation."
Floating beside Tzuqaine was a Monster with wings and an eye.
It was a Monster with the skill of communication.
"Yes! Understood!"
Be sure to avoid any failures.
"Don't worry. Look at this HUGE army, there's NO WAY we'll lose."
He ordered the eye Monster to take flight and soar into the sky.
"The Royal Capital is surrounded by an army of S-Rank Monsters. We also have Viscount-ranked demons, numbering a THOUSAND, and TWO thousand Demonic Golems. Our total force is TEN THOUSAND strong."
Demons possessed magical power that surpassed even Monsters.
Demonic Golems were slightly weaker than demons, but they were ten-meter-tall giants who could rampage as long as their magic didn't run out.
"With this, we CAN'T LOSE."
Kuk... perhaps I was a little too thorough. But don't slack off.
"Understood. Sir Iliga, please await GOOD NEWS from the North Wall."
Once the communication was cut, Tzuqaine issued his order.
"To ALL UNITS! Leave HALF the army here and have the OTHER HALF attack the Royal Capital! ANNIHILATE them all! Slay EVERY SINGLE ONE!"
He left half the army to prevent anyone from escaping the Royal Capital, and ordered the other half to STORM the city.
The demonic hordes surged forward like an AVALANCHE, charging toward the Royal Capital.
Demonic Golems SMASHED through the outer walls, paving the way for their INVASION.
M-Monster! Kyaaa! Help meeeeeee!
The citizens of the Royal Capital turned PALE, scattering in every direction.
But the monsters weren't about to let them ESCAPE.
Heads ROLLED, bones CRUNCHED, and flesh was DEVOURED.
"Good, keep RAMPAGING just like that!"
The giants CRUSHED the buildings of the Royal Capital underfoot, leaving DESTRUCTION in their wake.
Demons used their magic to BLAST humans and structures alike into the AIR.
The place had turned into a HELLISH cacophony of SCREAMS.
"Hehe... what an EASY job this is. Just a bunch of WEAKLINGS... weaklings...?"
Suddenly, Tzuqaine noticed something amiss.
"...Where's the Hero?"
There was supposed to be a Hero named Lawrence in the Royal Capital.
But with so much DESTRUCTION around, there was NO SIGN of him.
"This... is a CHANCE!"
A sly grin spread across Tzuqaine's face.
"Looks like the Hero is CONVENIENTLY ABSENT!"
...She decided to convince herself that everything was going HIS way.
That would turn out to be a MISTAKE.
If she had realized it was a trap, things might have gone differently.
After a while,
once they had DROWNED the Royal Capital in FLAMES and piled up a MOUNTAIN of CORPSES,
Tzuqaine swaggered into the Royal Capital.
In the BLOOD-SOAKED center of the Royal Capital's walkway,
a demon underling held Vivre CAPTIVE.
"I've been LOOKING for you, woman."
"Tzuqaine... what the HELL are you doing here?"
Vivre shot her a GLARE.
"Hmph," Tzuqaine chuckled.
"I came to bring you BACK."
"...Bring me BACK?"
"Yeah."
"...Did you REALLY need to kill so many innocent people?"
"Does it MATTER? Humans are no better than MONKEYS. They don't DESERVE to live!"
Vivre looked down, shaking with anger.
"...I KNEW it, demons are the WORST."
"What did you just say?"
"What did the people of this TOWN ever do to you?! Do you have ANY RIGHT to SHATTER their peaceful lives!?"
"SHUT UP, you FILTHY SOW...!"
With that, Tzuqaine SLAPPED her across the face.
She NONCHALANTLY placed her FOOT on her HEAD as she crumpled to the ground.
"Don't get CARRIED AWAY, you DEFECTED demon!"
"Hmph..."
"What's so FUNNY!?"
"Well... I was just thinking you're kinda PITIFUL, that's all."
She spoke to Tzuqaine in a pitiful tone.
"What's with THOSE EYES!?"
"You guys SERIOUSLY haven't realized that everything is going EXACTLY according to the SCRIPT, have you?"
"The script...?"
"Meh, it's fine. As planned... the BATTLE BEGINS!"
Clang...!
And with that, Vivre's body started to GLOW.
In that moment, an EARSPLITTING EXPLOSION occurred.
"Aaaaaaaghhhhhh!"
Like a LEAF, Tzuqaine was blown away.
The IMPACT was TERRIFYING.
It was as if a METEOR had FALLEN.
Not just the surrounding buildings, even the creatures of magic were SWEPT AWAY.
"Uh, ugh... what... WHAT just HAPPENED...?"
Crawling on the ground, Tzuqaine managed to open her eyes.
There before her was... a SINGLE, jet-black EVIL DRAGON.
'Uwooooooooooooh!'
"Wha, WHAT... is this...?"
It was a dragon he had NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
Its body was PITCH BLACK, with dark aura wings.
The OVERWHELMING AURA of DEATH emanating from its MASSIVE FORM made him SHRINK BACK.
'I'm the Evil God Dragon *Vivre! The CARRIER... no, the DELIVERY GUY for the Hero Party!*'
"Th, the Hero Party... and Vivre!? This guy is, THAT DEFECTED demon!?"
It was an UNBELIEVABLE sight.
The Evil God Dragon.
It was exerting a PRESENCE that SURPASSED even her own.
'Just behave and surrender!'
"Don't... you... DARE... TRAITOR...!"
Tzuqaine spoke through GRITTED TEETH, her voice TREMBLING with RAGE.
"You bastards! KILL HER! NOW!"
