Chereads / Tales of a Dark Lord / Chapter 4 - Dark Lords

Chapter 4 - Dark Lords

Misa ran into the building after seeing a woman walk in the building. Liliana ran after her and soon caught up to her, out of breath.

"M-Master... Don't run off like that again...please.." Liliana panted.

"Yeah..alright.." Misa opened the door and heard a crash and looked in that direction.

"Lilith! You ate the last dragon tail! Do you know how hard it was to kill that damn dragon in that last world?!" A woman said.

The woman had pink hair and it was long. Her hair was put in two braids and she wore a scarf around her neck. She carried a huge axe and the blade was black. She had white horns and her ears looked similar to cow ears.

"You name wasn't on it now was it Emma?" Lilith giggled.

Lilith had white hair and black wings. Her horns were red, but she isn't the woman Misa saw on the balcony..the woman had vampire wings on her head.

"You'll pay for that!" Emma jumped into the sky and slashed down. "Fury Slash!"

"You're so predictable.." Lilith dodged the attack and sent a black ball at Emma. The ball here and turned white with black lightning around it. "Black Ballista."

The white orb of energy exploded and blew Emma away. Misa's jaw dropped as she felt the rush of energy. This power was beyond Lady Kazumi and Lord Uroshi. This power was of that of a god.

"That was..SSS Rank Magic.." Misa took a step closer. "You're saying I can weild magic like that..?"

"Mhm, Dark Lords are not only World Destroyers but also natural Godslayers. Their target are the Six Goddesses who control the heroes to kill them." Liliana said.

Misa took a step and accidentally activated a trap. Chains shot out of cannons and wrapped around her and monsters surrounded her. Misa looked around scared and then saw a woman walk up to her.

"It's you.." The woman said.

This woman was the woman Misa saw on the balcony. White hair, red eyes..Scarlet red crown on her head, vampire wings on her head. This woman was extremely beautiful like the other Dark Lords Misa saw.

"Lady Elizabeth! It's okay!" Liliana spoke out. "This is a Junior Dark Lord, chosen by The Phantom God himself. I have brought her here so you and the others can teach her your ways!"

"I see. Well sorry for the misunderstanding." Elizabeth took off the chains from Misa's body and dismissed the monsters. "What is your name?"

"My name is Misa. I am a student of Lord Uroshi and Lazy Kazumi." Misa bowed.

"I see, student of legendary heroes...How do you know I can trust you?" Elizabeth said. "Even though Liliana isn't known to be a liar, she could be covering up for you."

"Here's the proof." Misa held up her left hand and showed her the Dark Lord marking.

"So you are one of us." Elizabeth smiled. "Come in. Set your bags beside the table, I'll gather everyone."

"O-Okay." Misa walked in and sat her bags at the table.

"Well hello there new girl. I overheard your conversation. I can't wait to train you." Lilith smiled and opened her eyes.

"You're a succubus..with a lot of...boing boing.." Misa coughed and blushed.

"I get that a lot. I mean don't get jealous, you have some years in you for you to get like me." She held Misa's chin. Misa blushed even more.

"Stop pestering the new trainee, Lilith." A woman walked up to them.

The woman also had white hair, but had a maid type of hat on her head with two candles with purple lit flames. She wore a black dress and carried a double bladed scythe. From that instance, Misa knew she was a reaper. She was kinda soft spoken though.

"Hi, my name is Rebecca." The woman spoke to Misa.

"Hello, My name is Misa. It is very nice to meet you." Misa bowed.

"A new Dark Lord is amongst us stated by Beth!" Another woman walked up.

This woman had orange hair and butterfly wings. She also had two other fairies with her, floating around her person. She carried no weapon as her weapon was nature itself. She is known as Earth's Daughter, specializing in Earth Magic.

"Ahh, that's you. My name is Floria. I am the main Healer of us Dark Lords." Floria bowed.

"A-Ah! My name is Misa!" Misa bowed also. "You're so polite."

"I am the most gentle of us Dark Lords but I do destroy worlds with Raw Power as well.." Floria smiled.

"The others are either still destroying worlds or just out in general." Elizabeth said, walking to them.

"I have a question..why do you destroy worlds? Is there a specific reason? Or is it just for the hell of it." Misa asked.

"Mostly just for the hell of it." Emma said then was thumped on her head by Floria. "Ow! Well at least I only do it sometimes.."

"We destroy worlds for our safety. As you know we are constantly at war with heroes outside Earth..We protect ourselves and the people of Earth from heroes who come to just cause war. We die often because of the heroes with the Goddess's Blessings but we are keeping people safe..our goal is to destroy enough worlds with our enemy to draw out the Goddesses and then kill them. This is mandatory for the protection of everyone." Floria said.

"So you're not bad people at all..?" Misa said.

"The only reason they see us as bad people is because we kill heroes. Corrupt heroes..destroy their worlds. We wouldn't have to if they never attacked us first. Including you there are only 11 of us..Lord Uroshi is the main reason we have been down in numbers. They fear us, they want our power. The ones who are the victim are us! We don't even target innocent people nor children." Elizabeth said.

"You're misunderstood..and they attacked you first..that's terrible...I'm sorry..." Misa said.

"Why are you sorry?" Emma said with a sour tone.

"Well..before I became a Dark Lord...I had a dream to kill you all for the sake of the worlds..but now learning the truth.." Misa said.

"It is normal for someone to want to kill us. You see we were born Dark Lords. Even the Original Dark Lord was just born a Dark Lord. He was the strongest one in the world, the first to slay a Goddess, but suddenly he just disappeared..this was before me and Elizabeth was even born." Lilith said.

"Mhm...his name was Luca. The Dark Lord who singlehandedly killed a Goddess. Specifically one of our allies, the Blood Goddess. She was the most powerful Goddess at the time, but now others are rising up against us.." Elizabeth said.

"Wait...what about the magic you used? That level of magic is of that of a god." Misa said.

"Oh, we learn ourselves. We don't need a teacher to teach us magic. We are natural prodigies. We were born with that level of magic, all we needed to do was draw it out." Rebecca said.

"I see.." Misa nodded.

"I understand there are a lot of questions you want to ask, but we will answer once you get settled down. I'll show you your room." Floria smiled and walked off.

Misa got her bag and followed Floria. Misa now knows the truth of the Dark Lords and they aren't bad people at heart. They were just forced to fight in this war..

Meanwhile in the Phantom Realm, Yuto looked at Misa's house and balled his fist. Feeling betrayed, Yuto used fire magic to burn down Misa's house.

"We promised..and you..you had to break that promise..next time we meet..you will be dead at my feet..Misa.." Yuto walked off.

Akichi and Tsuki was walking around the neighborhood to surprise Misa for her birthday then saw her house burning and went into panic mode.

"Misa!!" Akichi yelled and ran to the house. "I don't know water magic!"

Tsuki summoned a water bubble above Misa's house and dropped it on the house and extinguished the flames. Akichi sighed and fell to her knees. She then got up and ran in the house.

"Misa!!" She looked around the entire house. "Misa!!"

She noticed Misa wasn't home at all and picked Tsuki up and ran out the house to find Misa.
