[Demon Continent, Battlefield]
As the war between two sides rage on, casualties counts started to rise on such an intolerable scale, due to that many soldiers and officers who were left behind in the camp started to panic as they saw that the casualty detector magic they got has now passed 2581 dead and still rising
Obviously the news regarding the death of King Emperor Ergo also reached their ears which even broke their morale at the moment
With that all authority to lead the officers inside this room all lies on the hands of Bruno the son of Duke Agra
"Today hence forth, I Bruno will lead you, I'll take command in this camp, did you hear me? Now get back to work"
As Bruno said those words, he then self proclaimed himself as the next in command since King Emperor Ergo trusted him, nevertheless all the people inside the co clearly knew the personality of Bruno which sometimes disgust them
As this happened some brave officers on the back suddenly started to gossip
"Hey! If King Emperor Ergo is dead... Do you think all power of the empire will land on the Queen?"
"Unlikely, I'll take a guess that the Queen Empress will pass the leadership to her daughter, thus turning her into a ruler"
"But the Queen Empress daughter is friends with the woman that Bruno has interest right?"
"I think it's more like acquaintances"
"I heard that the woman that Bruno liked actually hated him due to his guts"
"Really? Hahaha! Great after all we all know just how much of a suck up he is, he's despicable"
"Wait! If that's the case, then if that woman told her case to the princess then doesn't that mean Bruno will be hunted down? If that's the case maybe in the new empire we would be safe if we sacrifice him for our lives"
Hearing such a crazy suggestion, the soldiers and officers started to mull over that idea as it spreads throughout the room in a couple of minutes
When that happened all eyes started to gather back towards Bruno with am intense heat of survival
"Oi! What are you doing? Return to you work!" Shouted Bruno oblivious to their thoughts
Just as he was about to get even more angry, one officers suddenly acted up
"For our survival! Capture him! We need to hand him over to the new ruler!!!"
"!!!"
Hearing that more than twenty people inside the room tackled Bruno causing the latter to shout in anger due to their actions
To shut him up one officer started gagging him and tied him up before locking him inside a prison

[Demon King's Castle]
With the ground littered with destruction and crisp sound of rocks falling, such destructiveness even deformed the whole front area of the castle that even blew off the castle walls, causing the war happening on the battlefield to be seen as clear as day
As the smoke arises one person could be seen walking along a smoke as she walked up the destroyed debris
At this moment to survive such an explosion Aileene had to up her barrier power by releasing more than 50% of her power
Due to that her appearance also changed as her power grow, at this time she looked like a woman on her late teens as she walked up in a ragged clothing
With a ragged top even a v-shape around her neck had opened up revealing her chest a little bit, while patched of holes littered her clothing even at there skirt she's wearing
Unlike her Hepta was far worse off as her armor was actually almost destroyed by that explosion leaving only few remnants of it and a hard chainmail, but the aftermath of that collision her body suddenly stiffened up causing her unable to move with major I juries all over her body
At this point Aileene walked up to her side which laid on the rocks and pinned on the ground as she casually observed her figure
With a cough Hepta tried her best to speak
"Heh... You look like shit!"
"Your far worse off" replied Aileene
"...hahaha... I can't believe I survived that blast" laughed Hepta as the bleeding around her body won't stop
"At the sit of your eye though" said Aileene
Apparently due to the concentrated force Hepta's right eye got destroyed when she tried her best to defend herself which is apparent that Hepta was now left with one eye available
"Heh!... Ghouls won't die from bleeding too much nor loss of an eye, don't worry! If you want to kill a ghoul you need to either destroy it or cut off its head"
"I see"
At this moment Aileene placed her blades on Hepta's neck
"Your halberd is destroyed making it unusable, while you are telling me this process, are you trying to make me kill you? Don't decided thing on your own little girl, Kaido said that I can do whatever I want with you and I intended that" said Aileene
"Hahaha... So I can't even have a warrior's peaceful death? So much for the Queen of ghouls... But don't worry my weapon is fixable"
now that Aileene thought about it, what Hepta said made sense as this short battle was actually a fight between two queens of different races, The Ghoul Queen Hepta vs The Vampire Queen Aileene
Just as they were talking leisurely Aileene suddenly felt something was off as the Mana flunctuation happened somewhere near them
In a flash a streak of a spell shot out from the smoke heading directly for their direction, with pure instincts Aileene held up her lunar blades and slashed the spell blast in half causing two small explosions
"Who's there?"
At this moment the figure of Larval walked out of the smoke with a staff in his hand
Observing this figure, Aileene clearly deducted that even Larval must have fought fiercely outside the wall causing him to look like a disheveled skeleton
"So your still alive? I'm surprised" said Aileene as she shouldered one of her blades
"I'm even more surprised to see you still able to move though" replied Larval
"Hahaha! I'm just that tenacious... Impressed?"
"Annoyed"
Walking up at the destruction Larval completely stood up against Aileene
Behind him not far from the sight littered the poeple that he barely left alive
While Ingrid was gritting her broken sides with intense pain, Melfina and Sarah on the other hand was left half dead cause of Larval
As Sarah was pierced in multiple non lethal part of her body by magic, she was left bleeding as she started to go pale from the blood loss
As for Melfina one of her ears was cut off while her whole body got paralyzed whole some of her bones were broken
Thankfully healing and restoration magic could fix them up but if it didn't treated immediately, they would die
At this moment the Ingra kingdom forces arrived at such a scene as horrified screams coming from King Simon and General Stone echoed upon seeing the state of their daughters
As for the other such as Luke, Rebecca, Anna, and Lily who have puffed eyes due to crying immediately came over and started healing them at a visible speed
Sometime later someone dragged Okou over who have lost consciousness on their side and was treated as well
While that was happening a serious battle started to occur right infront of the castle as waves and flashes coming from spells littered the air
As multiple small scale spells flew over to Aileene, the latter obviously dealt with it by cutting it using her two blades, but by doing this she is currently unable to counter attack Larval at all
"Just how long can you keep this up I wonder?" Asked Larval
"Long enough till you ran out of Mana!" Replied Aileene
Waving the staff in his hand around Larval then started to cast some even more powerful spells among his fast casting small scale spells
With this Aileene then was caught off guard as the spells exploded right infront of her face as if angered Aileene then dashed out from the smoke as she engaged Larval
Of course Larval already saw this coming as it somehow seemingly smiled like a real person and shouted
"Hollow shriek!!!"
With that spell casted aloud sound actually permeated the place causing everything around Larval to blow up while dealing with the pain from the sound
Inspite of this Aileene still stepped up as she tried to force herself towards Larval
Raising her hand she then started casting her own counter
"Uprising!"
Due to that rocks and debris beneath Larval suddenly shot up towards the sky as it bumped against him thus interrupting his spell
After that Aileene then casted another spell
"Downfall!"
This time the rocks hovering in sky suddenly dropped down towards Larval thus forcing him to be of the defensive at this moment
As if that wasn't enough Aileene once again closed the gap between them
"Phase acceleration!"
In a flash Aileene bypassed all obstacle as she appeared infront of Larval like a ghost
Surprised by this even Larval tried to escape, but suddenly Aileene caught him by his jaw as the latter actually slammed his head unto the ground before pinning him down by stepping on him, thus creating a huge crater
"Kuh"
"Hoh?!?!... Did you just actually reacted from that? I never knew that a skeleton has senses at all"
"You bitch!"
"Hahaha! Well this bitch just kick your ass, funny right? I cant believe that the Demon king actually thought that vassals such as you and her is enough to beat a Calamity Class Being... Isn't he overestimating himself?" Asked Aileene
"His ancestors should've have told him not to mess with us and just kneel before us" she added
"You dare ask a king to kneel to people like you?!?!" Exclaimed Larval
"Well isn't it natural for the weak to bow down to the strong? Haven't you noticed that not one of us actually used his 100% to deal with you guys? That means we are not taking you seriously and yet you guys are getting beat up by us"
Hearing that fact even Larval's was speechless
At this moment Aileene pulled him up as she delivered a bone cracking punch directly at his face without any mercy at all
"Come! I'll beat you guys down to submission!"
*********
Inside the castle all three figures such as Fengris, Argos and Kaido seemed to have been separated by a doing of the spell
As Fengris was brought to an audience place for the Demon's, and Kaido was brought into the throne room, Argos on the other hand was brought inside a giant arched hall
"A space distortion spell? And a relocation spell? Those spells are so old that they are considered an ancient... Just who would use such a thing?" Asked Argos to himself as he looked at the nearly empty room
Soon a figure walked out from the darkness
"I didn't expect you to be here at all"
As the light dawned on that person, Argos immediately discovered the identity of such said person
With a smile Argos cheerfully greeted him
"Hello! Little Demon!"
"I can't say likewise to you"
Apparent the one who came out of hiding from the dark was Belial himself, as he stood there and seed ready to fight on against Argos
As for Fengris who was inside an audience room like conference acting like a rich guy, he then started to gaze around curiously around the room, but suddenly he felt a chilly atmosphere around him as he notices other presence near him
With a snap from him, black Lightning shot out from his body and directly charged towards an empty spot thus alarming his stalkers
Seemingly noticing them Fengris then saw two figures in cloaks from head to toe, coming out from both of his sides
One seemed to be a woman due to her curvature as she wield a purple glowing bow showing that she's an Archer, while the other was a male double swordsman due to his purple glowing sword on either of his hands
"... Who are you guys?"
