[Dellal]
I swerve to a different direction since I got intel to take care of a certain werewolf that might ruin our plan. In my demonic shadow form, I travelled across the mountain to her location. My movement is easier since I have no physical form, like a river flowing across the land.
Moments later I finally found a weary werewolf woman running to the village.
Kekeke, finally found you!
[Minnerva]
I'm close! Just a few run ahead. However, just when I was about to feel relieved, I feel an ominous presence behind me.
To my surprise, a shadowy figure jumped out and clawed my back causing me to fall on my tracks and roll on the ground.
On my back area of my shoulder, a deep gash is seen. It's a piercing pain where a dark mist is oozing from it.
It hurts!
"Aren't you that rebel traitor? Keke, I finally found you." Says the shadow demon.
I clench my teeth, endure the pain and plant my foot to stand. I then dash away as fast as possible.
I'm gonna ignore him and run as fast to the village, directly to the eastern overlord.
"Do you really think that I would let you?" He says mockingly behind me and launches a second attack. Even if I run as fast as humanely possible, his shadowy form drifts on the air like a swift fluid that its impossible to outrun him.
However, when he gets close to me he falls to the ground and coughing as though in pain.
Looks like I got saved. I still run and count it as part of luck.
[Delall]
Damn it! My time is running out. That Infitius blade cuts deep into my body and has burnt my organs. Its even spreading.
Looks like this is it, huh? Kekeke.
Once we are defeated no doubt, this will get exposed to the church. If at least I can take you all with me.
Even if our reign here is over, Lord Fagrusil's plan will continue.
I grin wide as I call upon the darkest abyss of nature.
"Demonic Cataclysm!"
As strength and darkness consumes my body, I aim my hands towards the woman. In this direction this is where the women and the village reside.
They will all perish.
With my demonic cataclysm activated, I will summon the abyssal sea dweller, Gadeo. This abyssal creature will consume everything in its path, erasing every bit of clue of our plans.
It's time for you to die! Kekeke!
With my hands aimed on them, I release the abyssal sea dweller. A fully black giant whale emerges from a passage from hell, it advances forward with its gaping mouth swallowing over the trees and dirt. The more it consumes the larger it becomes where it even becomes as half as large as a mountain in just a few seconds.
[Minnerva]
Looking behind me, I get taken by surprise, there is a pitch black area the shape of a whale expanding behind me. It feels like the world is getting swallowed by darkness.
This is ridiculous, I won't be able to dodge this in time. What should I do?
Behind me, someone with a familiar old man's voice yelled. "Minnerva, duck!"
Without thinking, I ducked quick. A knight is standing on a werewolf's back with her blade ready. A glowing light magic is flowing on her blades.
What's with that magic? I never saw anything like it before.
With her sheer will and graceful movement, I can tell she is no ordinary warrior. Upon meeting the darkness close, she swings her blade and just like that the darkness is repelled.
I can feel the air pressure from her swing. She is very strong!
Afterward, I can see that the darkness has been vanquished. The demon on the distance also gets his body chopped into two.
Did she just eliminate the demon from this distance? That was impressive.
I just recognized that the werewolf she stands upon is Macdelver. He comes close to me with concern, "Miss Minnerva, are you okay?"
Upon coming into my sense, I quickly stand and dash towards the village. "Macdelver, I'm glad you are fine. Please, follow me!"

[Verni]
Even if Varlin is persuasive, the villagers are still doubtful on who to believe. His goons which are wearing red robe grabs the villagers and coerces them. "You damn werewolves, why are you ignoring our Lord's commands?!"
The other goon says, "that's right. You know what will happen if you disobey the Overlord, right? Tell the other villagers to surround him!"
And now they are forcing the villagers, huh?
The villagers can't help but follow their orders. While in caution, they are slowly surrounding me. I can see the goons behind them are snickering.
Damn these bastards!
One werewolf aims his spear to me and hesitantly stabs me with it from frustration. "Yah!" He yells.
I stop the spear with one finger. "Please stop this."
He gets frightened and drop his spear. He then falls on the ground. "Please whoever you are leave this place. We don't want to get punished by the Overlord and his apostles."
I can see it in their eyes. They are so blinded by fear that they don't even want to consider me being the Overlord nor they want to question their authority.
I can relate.
Well it happened to me as well. Remembering it, I clench my fists. When I got bullied by Alfred and his friends, I was the same. I didn't even consider asking for help to anyone.
All that I experienced was being overwhelmed by fear where I cannot think straight. They were perhaps pre-conditioned by these people.
For some reason, this makes me pissed off and I had enough. I'm going to obliterate these people! Just when I was about to blast Varlin away, someone arrives at the village. It's a young woman, it seems she was beaten up and looking on her condition she can barely stand. She pants as she catches her breath, she then yells, "people of the silver village! My name is Minnerva, the daughter of the previous chief! We had our disagreements, but I can assure you all we did was for the sake of our village. So please, lend me your ears."
"It's Minnerva!"
They seem surprised seeing her. They then listen to her.
"Varlin and his apostles have been fooling us these past few years. The apostles are demons in disguise who have an ulterior agenda. They lied to us that he is the Eastern Overlord, but behold--"
Minnerva eyes my robe then to me. She trudges as she comes to me and then bows down in front of my presence. "My lord, thank you for coming to our aid. Yes, the true Eastern Overlord has come to our village. I can assure everyone about that!"
One of Varlin's goons is enraged. "Don't listen to this rebel! She is just lying to you!"
Varlin chuckles seemingly amused as though she was just a joke. "So this is your ploy, huh? But we can see through your little play. Everyone capture them!"
Looks like they are pretty stubborn but at least the villagers are now starting to doubt Varlin and his goons. Perhaps, I shall take it from here. The only thing these villagers want is a little push.
I put Sagus mask on my face. For some reason, having a mask put me at ease. It gives me confidence to face a lot of these people.
I fly over them, giving Varlin a lot of worry. "Huh? What are you trying to do?!"
"Isn't it obvious? I'm trying to save this village from the influence of you demons? I, the Eastern Overlord shall set this village free from your tyranny!"
Varlin just laughs with confidence. "A young guy like you could no way be the Eastern Overlord. I'll turn you into a mincemeat!"
I take a deep breath and cast, [Infinite Summoning].
[Lithon Serpent
Level: 200]
These are powerful beasts from the Mythical Dungeons. There are two of them. With their large size, and whose body girth resembles that of a skyscraper. They coil around the mountain with their giant heads hissing at the Varlin and his goons from both sides.
Varlin stammers seeing the serpents. "No-no way this is real!"
Him and his goons are starting to get afraid. I summon many more as well.
[Deadly Spearman
Level: 120]
Silver armored knight with long spears appear out of nowhere, marching towards the village. They then line up in formation and just standby, awaiting for my command.
One of Varlin's goons grunt, "hmmph, no way this is real? This has to be an illusion!" He cast a fireball spell to the spearman, with confidence its just gonna go through. However, it hits the spearman not even leaving a scratch. The spearman's spear glows in dark energy, it retaliates by throwing its spear at him.
After being hit, the grunt's body fell apart instantly, like a mush of blood and flesh.
I sigh, since I should have warned him. The deadly spearmen are excellent spear throwers, where even if you were at the same level as them, getting hit is like an execution.
Regardless, I guess I have to execute his other goons as well.
Varlin's legs are shaking, he falls down in frustration. "No way! It seems you really are the Eastern Overlord! How could this happen?!"
"No-no way?" Says one of his goons. When they are about to flee, I cast my cursed magic spell on the goons, burning them one by one instantly, leaving Varlin alone.
Seeing Varlin admitted that I'm the Eastern Overlord, the villagers kneeled in my presence. They look shocked at first but it seems they gave their loyalty to me.
I hope I didn't go overboard. I cancelled the spell and returned the beasts back to the dungeon afterward.
I left the fate of Varlin to the villagers. They have suffered a lot under him, it's better if they decide what to do with him. The villagers gladly accepted my offer like it was a great gift, they then put him in the center of the village, all tied up.
I would like to witness how they will carry out their justice but I have to handle something first.
Minnerva comes to me and bowed. "My lord, standing in front of you feels like a dream. No doubt, you are the true Eastern Overlord. The village and I cannot express our gratitude to you."
I'm thankful that I have a mask, otherwise, I must have a weird expression since I don't know how to accept this gratitude. "Well, uh, your welcome."
Should I have said something more? Now what should I do?
Minnerva's expression becomes serious that it gives me interest, "I have something to show you."
