On the banks of Sacred River Selma, on the edge of the Ancient Todd City, the two Demon Kings Bella and Aggy were currently going head to head. It was the first time that an old Demon King had engaged in a confrontation using their true forms against a new Demon King.
Previously, the Sky Demon King Dolores and Blood Demon King Eleanor had defeated the Demon King of Death, who had possessed the Demon Princess Cornice’s body. However, that was just possession, so it was not the Demon King of Death’s original identity. Therefore, this battle was much more important.
The barren lands of the Demon King space shook violently. At the moment, “Dark Dinosaurs” and “Dark Ancient Giants” were at war. Both sides were made up of huge creatures that were going up against each other. At that moment, that scene was breathtaking.
Even though the dinosaur type demonic beings could make use of magical attacks, they did not intend to use it as part of their offense. These ancient demonic giants specialized in biological attacks and close-range combat. With such a short-range, there was barely enough time for them to prepare to activate the magical attacks.
Both sides were practically wrapped around each other. The Dark Three-Horned Dragons were in the front of the formation. They raised their horns and began to charge towards the Dark Ancient Giants’ battle formation. The Dark Horned Back Dragon and the Dark Tyrant Dragon closely followed the Dark Three-Horned Dragon. Bella stood on top of the Dark Tyrant Dragon and led her demonic beings into battle.
It did not take long for the first offensive teams from both sides to engage in battle. The Dark Three-Horned Dragons made use of their powerful momentum and broke right past the Dark Ancient Giants’ defenses. Large groups of Dark T-Rex swiftly followed and charged into the midst of the Ancient Giants. The entire scene instantly descended into pandemonium.
The Dark Winged Dragons immediately switched strategies in favor of low altitude combat. They swooped down while attacking and disrupting the Dark Giants’ formations in perfect coordination with the Dark Three-Horned Dragons and Dark T-Rex’s attacks on the ground.
The Dark Tyrant Dragon was currently taking on the Ancient Giant King alone. The Giant King raised its fist and unleashed its ultimate move – the “Tiny Hammers to Your Chest,” where it smashed furiously into the Dark Tyrant Dragon’s chest.
The Dark Tyrant Dragon refused to admit defeat and knocked directly into him. Just like the T-Rex Dragon, its hands were claws and were clearly at a disadvantage when met with a fist. Therefore, the Tyrant Dragon decided that it might as well crash head-on into the giant. The immense force of the impact caused the Giant King to stumble backward.
Without missing a beat, the Dark Tyrant Dragon opened its ferocious mouth and sent out a few massive fireballs. The power of these fireballs was similar to the “Celestial Fire,” one of the fire-type mages’ forbidden magics. Sparks flew as the fireballs smashed onto the Giant King’s body.
The Giant King let out an expression of pain. As a brute force type of demonic being, it did not know magic. Even though the constant wave of magical attacks was from a same-level entity, it was still excruciating. After the Dark Tyrant Dragon spat out its fireballs, it turned around. It lashed out its long tail, using it like a whip, and smacked it directly only to Giant King’s face.
That blow was clearly effective. One hit from the Dark Tyrant Dragon’s tail nearly sent the Giant King to the ground. Fortunately, its will to fight was strong and grabbed onto his opponents’ tail. Before the Dark Tyrant Dragon could retract its tail, the weight of the Dark Giant King sent it tumbling to the ground.
The entire process of the battle looked as though it was like a scene out of “Ultraman vs. a monster.” It was a pity that the Dark Ancient Giants could not blast lasers, nor did it have a countdown light. The only thing that the giant could do was to wave its fists and legs around. It was a bit of a stretch to liken it to an Ultraman’s battle against a monster. Instead, it was more of a “Godzilla vs. King Kong.”
While the two giant creatures were still engaging in a “philosophical wrestle,” the Dark Night Demon King Aggy and the Origin Demon King Bella had risen into the skies. Since both of them had wings on their backs, it was perfectly natural for them to engage in aerial combat. Bella was still somewhat cautious as this was the first time that she was participating in an airborne battle in the Other World.
“The demonic beings under your command are pretty strong! However, we are the key to this battle. Since you seem to be able to handle yourself quite well, I shall not hold back any longer.”
The Dark Night Demon King Aggy raised her magic staff, “Starry Night,” and started to launch magical attacks in Bella’s direction. Dozens of giant “Dark Waves” charged her way, which were much larger than the “Celestial Fire” that the Dark Tyrant Dragon had used earlier.
Bella was extremely cautious and flapped her wings to avoid Aggy’s dark magical attacks. Since both parties were Demon Kings, and Aggy was using dark magical attacks, Bella was not confident that she would be able to escape unscathed.
Such magic could be relaunched instantly, which was different from the mages from the novels about other worlds. There was no need to recite an intermediary magical incantation between each magical attack. Bella only found out afterward that in order to cast instantly, the mage would have to go through a certain amount of training. The time in between some of the high-level mages was negligible, and it was close to impossible to take advantage of the time in between attacks to retaliate.
The Dark Night Demon King Aggy belonged to the latter as she was relentless in her dark magical attacks. She continued sending “dark waves” towards Bella in succession. As Bella dodged Aggy’s attacks, those waves crashed into the barren land behind her and exploded.
Deep potholes appeared on the barren lands of the Demon King Space. Black billowing clouds now covered the already dark sky. The blood-red moon in the sky was now also obscured by the mysterious black clouds.
There were dark purple lightning streaking through the mysterious black clouds, but no thunder could be heard. It was a sign that the Dark Night Demon King Aggy was about to unleash her ultimate move. Bella could feel the tension in the air. Aggy’s magic was constantly suppressing her, and she had no way to disrupt the accumulating magic in the air.
Damn it! Are there no limits to this female Demon King’s magic? Bella’s occupation was just a knight and not an assassin. She did not summon her steed that could be used to strike in the sky, and she currently had no way to get closer to Aggy to attack.
Aggy was softly reciting an incantation. If this magic required her to use an incantation, this meant that it was one of the forbidden magic. Bella was extremely inexperienced in Demon King battles and was obviously at a disadvantage. If it were the Sky Demon King Dolores, who was in this battle, she would not have been this passive. Out of all the Demon Kings that were on Bella’s side, Dolores had the most combat experience.
As the dark lightning congregated in the sky, it looked as though the next attack was going to be a lightning type one. Bella guessed that there was no way she could avoid it this time. She planned to face Aggy head-on as it was not feasible to be manipulated by the whims and fancies of her opponent.
The Dark Winged Dragons basically dove onto the ground to fight on the ground. Now, there was no one that Bella could use as her scapegoat. Without any demonic beings to use as a shield, she would have to endure it herself. If she had known that this would happen, she would not have challenged the Dark Night Demon King Aggy to a solo fight. This time, she was going to be soundly beaten by Aggy.
“Your practical battle experience is pitiful. This is my final gift to you. Go forth, the thunder of the Dark Realm. Take your demonic beings and disappear!”
The Dark Night Demon King Aggy raised her staff, the “Starry Night,” in command. A few hundred streaks of dark purple lightning transformed into a lightning storm and violently attacked the area where Bella was standing. These dark lightning bolts were thicker than tree trunks and blocked every path in Bella’s way, preventing her from escaping from potential death.
If Bella knew how to teleport, she might have been able to dodge the attack. However, she did not know any form of interdimensional magic. Since the Interdimensional Demon Noesha was not with her, Bella had no choice but to fend off the attacks on her own.
“This light... what immense light power... what’s happening, it’s blinding...”
Once the Dark Night Demon King Aggy unleashed her signature move, the “Dark Thunder,” Bella was immediately struck by dark purple lightning. Just as Aggy thought that Bella would finally admit defeat, a powerful beam of light emerged from Bella’s body.
The powerful energy lit up the entire Demon King Space. The light forcefully dissipated the dark environment and instantly turned the sky blue. The red moon emerged once again. However, there was a man’s face on the moon, with a pained expression as his distorted features began to melt away rapidly.
The Demon King’s Blood moon was on the brink of collapse. Multiple cracks appeared on the surface of the moon, with strange red blood leaking out of them. The Dark Giant Army and Dark Dinosaur Army that had been grappling with each other had given up on their “philosophical wrestling.” They broke away from their opponents and ran their separate ways in an attempt to escape.
The Dark Tyrant Dragon and Dark Ancient Giant King had also retreated, taking their subordinates along with them. Both of them were not injured at all as their attacks were not enough to break past each other’s defenses. However, the illumination from this light ray caused many wounds to appear on their bodies as if they had been cut with a knife.
As the leaders from both sides, they could not even reveal any hint that they were actually in excruciating pain. As a leader, they would have to put up a strong front, even if it kills them.
However, their subordinates were not as disciplined. Many of the Dark Ancient Giants and Dark Dinosaurs had many cuts on their bodies from the light rays. Dark blood streamed out of those wounds as the Dark Giants and Dark Dinosaurs fell to the ground, rolling and groaning in pain.
“What pure light, this energy... a God’s? Impossible, back then, even the Radiant God did not emanate such pure light.”
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through the Dark Night Demon King Aggy’s chest, and she spat out a mouthful of deep purple blood. She was extremely fortunate to be far enough from the Sacred Light Rays. If it were able to wound her even at such a distance deeply, she would have been killed instantly if she were close.
Aggy’s signature move, the “Dark Thunder,” had been dissolved by this Sacred Light Rays. The dazzling light prevented Aggy from seeing what was happening to Bella. She hovered in the sky as the grip on her magic staff loosened.
The excruciating pain in Aggy’s chest had forced her to have to use one hand to clutch at her chest. After letting go of the “Starry Night,” it hovered beside her. Aggy’s other hand held onto a large shield. For now, there was no way that she would be able to attack Bella.
The Demon King Space had been affected by light magic. Other than the Dark Night Demon King Aggy and Origin Demon King Bella, who were affected, the range of the light was so wide that the every single Demon King who was in the vicinity of the Priestly Continent fell to the ground, as though they had been shot.
At the Demon King’s Grand Hall on the banks of the Sacred River Selma, within the center of the Ancient Todd City, the Terror Demon King Griffin and the Bone Demon King Trollope, who had been enjoying dinner, suddenly began to vomit blood. These two unfortunate fellows were the closest to the battlefield and were the first to feel the brunt of the attack.
Griffin was about to take his first drink before he spat it out, along with a mouthful of blood. Trollope had just picked up the vat, and a sudden wave of pain caused him to drop the vat on his foot. This double whammy caused Trollope to feel so much pain that he rolled on the ground, disregarding his image as a Demon King.
“This wine is so bitter. S***... it’s poisonous!”
“Foot, my foot, who wishes to use a vat of wine to attack me! I want to rip that person to shreds!”
The kemonomimi servants at the Demon King’s Grand hall were so terrified that they hid behind pillars and within the corners of the hall. They lowered their heads, unwilling to look at the Demon Kings’ embarrassing situation in fear that the Demon Kings would kill them to preserve their reputation.
In the central region of the Priestly Continent, the Demon King of Death was leading large amounts of flying-type demonic beings under cover of the night. They were rushing over to the northern border of the Sacred River Selma as reinforcement for the Dark Coalition.
“We have to speed up. Those two jerks are so unreliable. If Aggy were not there, I wouldn’t even bother with those two... what’s happening... my chest hurts... this...”
“Your Majesty, are you okay? Your Majesty, quickly... she has fallen. Help, now...”
The flying-type demonic beings looked on in horror was the Demon King of Death’s beautiful figure rapidly fell from hundreds of meters high. As she fell, they could tell that there were streaks of blood dripping out from her mouth. It was clear that she had suffered an internal injury that had caused the blood.
Even though the Demon King would not die from the fall, the flying-type demonic beings were now unable to advance any further. They had to save their “fallen” commander. As the Demon King of Death had now met with an accident, the entire demonic army who had been relentless in their efforts to reach the northern border of the Sacred River Selma was now delayed.
On the shores of the Dulles Isle of the New Moon Islands, several fleets of demonic beings were on standby, awaiting their orders. The Ocean Demon King Victoria leaned against the ship’s rail, as though she was throwing up due to sea-sickness. As she had her back to the other demonic beings, the Siren King McMillan could not figure out what was wrong with Victoria.
The Ocean Demon King did not get seasick. It was rather suspicious. Could it be the monthly “routine” of the Human girls? This timing is... today was the day that the Ocean Demon King was going to lead her expeditionary troops towards the Priestly Continent.
Little did they know that the Ocean Demon King would have such problems with her body. This caused the Siren King McMillan and the other Oceanic Demonic Beings to feel a little embarrassed, not knowing how to broach the subject.
“Your Majesty, are you alright...”
“Fine... ahem, I’m fine. We shall not set sail today! The waves are a little choppy...”
The Ocean Demon King Victoria looked at the calm sea, with nary a wave to be seen. She lied that the “waves were too strong” with a straight face. Since the Siren King McMillan and her subordinates were in no position to correct her, they could only agree with her.
“I feel that the waves are rather strong today too. Everyone, get off the ship. We are not setting sail today.”
“That’s right, the winds have already caused our flags to be blown off. I think it’s a good idea as well!”
“You... all of you can take your leave. I wish to enjoy the sea breeze for a bit.”
As Victoria held onto the ship’s rails, she was trembling. She forced herself to remain standing upright out of the sheer will. Blood was still trickling out of the corners of her mouth, dripping into the ocean.
This delay had caused the Demon King’s coalition on the New Moon Island to take back the upper hand in the battle at sea. Under the command of the New Moon Demonic Dragon Dorothea and the Sea Demonic Dragon Amy Beth, the Demon King’s coalition had set off from the docks at the back of the New Moon Island.
Before the Ocean Demon King Victoria knew what was happening, the Demon King’s Coalition had already gone out to sea and had taken over the main sailing route on the way to the Priestly Continent. This would give them an advantage in future battles at sea.
At the Demon King’s Coalition’s temporary campsite on the northern side of the Sacred River Selma, a meeting had been going on within the Demon King’s tent. The Sky Demon King Dolores, Blood Demon King Eleanor, and the Underworld Demon King Cornice did not escape the inevitable as well. There were apparent tracks of blood at the corners of their mouths.
The Underworld Demon King Cornice was the weaker of the three and had already collapsed at the commander’s table. She was the last one to have attained her status as a Demon King. For now, she was still a Quasi-Devil and suffered the worst injuries.
The Sky Demon King Dolores and the Blood Demon King Eleanor grabbed on to the table, preventing themselves from collapsing. They had been discussing some trivial matters that had to be done while Bella was away. Little did they know that Bella’s long-distance “friendly fire” would collectively attack them.
Fortunately, there were no other demonic beings around in the tent. Otherwise, if the news were to leak out that the Demon Kings had all been seriously injured even before the battle began, it would affect the army’s morale.
“Older Sisters Dolores, Eleanor, Cornice, stay here and do not move! I believe that Older Sister Bella must be up to some mischief. Just rest for a while, and you’ll be fine. We’re here. It’s okay!”
“I’ve checked with Lolita; this is only happening because Older Sister had recklessly used Older Sister Vianne’s jewel.”
“Angel, Mia, what’s wrong with your eyes? Are you not feeling well?”
“Well, Older Sister Dolores, don’t worry about me. I just got something in my eye.”
The Demon God Angel and Evil God Mia appeared in the Demon King’s tent, trying to comfort the Demon Kings. Both of them had bloody tear tracks streaking down their faces.
The incident at the Demon King Passage had even caused the nearby Demon Gods and Evil Gods to be affected as well. Since Angel and Mia were Demon God and Evil God, respectively, they did not experience the awkwardness of throwing up blood. At most, blood would trickle out of the corner of their eyes.
At a higher level Demon God Space, the Blood Demon God Claire and Dark Demon God Alice who were traveling together, suddenly stopped in their tracks. They had been affected as well.
As one of the top ten Demon Gods of the World Destructors camp, they were more powerful than Angel and Mia. their eyes were fine, but they had a little nosebleed. Even though it was nothing serious, it meant that they were injured as well.
“Who is so unprincipled! How could they use the Creator of Light Vianne’s jewel to damage the Demon Kings’ space? My nose hurts.”
“Alice, why are you looking at me? Can’t you see that my nose is bleeding too? I haven’t been injured for many years. I kind of miss this feeling. Eh? Alice, what kind of expression is that? Why are you so far away...”
“Claire, I never knew that you were so perverted! Since you enjoy being hurt, stay away from me. I do not wish to travel with you...”
Bella did not know that by casually throwing out the “Blessing of Light,” she had unintentionally gravely injured nine other Demon Kings, including herself. She had also caused some minor damage to four Demon Gods and Evil Gods. In the end, she had inadvertently rewritten the ending of the battle of Selma River.
The most unprincipled Demon King in history was now born. Afterward, as Bella recounted her decision, she only one sentence to say.
“It wouldn’t be wise for you to anger me. If I get too agitated, I’ll even hurt myself, let alone an ally. Aren’t you afraid?”
