"Oh?" said the man sitting on the throne.
"Is something wrong Your Majesty?" said Julius, looking a little pale due to the Demon King's presence.
"No, it's just that these little rebels sure have got such guts to steal what's mine." the moment the words left his mouth, the space around him started to distort to eventually carry him and his throne away as if they were never there in the first place.

"Hey, do you think that guy will take the bait?" said a cloaked figure.
"Absolutely. That man's greed puts even the most ambitious men to shame." said a werewolf who had scars all over his body, yet each marking made him more intimidating.
Both the beings were sitting on staircases which descended down to a pit that seemed to be brimming with dark-purple energy and in the center laid a beautiful young woman with white hair whose skin turned from the usual light skin to having purple cracks all over.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
"Tsk, why is that woman so loud? The process has just begun." said the werewolf as he casually threw a demon's arm into the deep pit.
"Don't blame the girl, all she has is that special technique of hers. Nothing else, not even the simplest of defense spells." said the cloaked figure whose voice held nothing but pity.
"Is there any way we can make her use that technique on us?" said the werewolf with a questioning gaze toward the cloaked figure.
"No, no types of coercion or illusions will work when trying to bypass that technique. If it was that easy, let alone the Demon King, we would've had to fight the whole world to keep this woman." said the cloaked figure with a chuckle.
*Rumble*
"Oh? It seems he's closing in..." said the werewolf who started to get up in a battle-ready posture.
"Be careful. I know you're going to use everything in this battle but if worst comes to be, don't hesitate to pull the switch." murmured the cloaked figure as he descended towards the center of the pit.

Entrance of the Demon King's Castle ---- Roverdiam
"The enemies are closing in! Remember, despite being little in number, each is as deadly as a wyvern!" roared Ron to his soldiers who numbered in the tens of thousands.
"General Ron! The Demon King has sent a message that gives two instructions." said a messenger who suddenly appeared next to Ron.
"Speak."
"The first order was to capture at least a dozen of the Nightfall assassins for memory checks and interrogation and the second order..." Suddenly the messenger hesitated to speak the next words.
"Yes?" said Ron with a questioning tone.
"His Majesty says, and I quote, 'Release the pets, they have needed a good walk.'"
Suddenly Ron was covered in sweat.

Vampire Continent ---- Dracula
"It seems the Demon Continent is about to have a mini-war~" said a woman who seemed human if it wasn't for her claret-like eyes and sharp fangs that seemed to be able to pierce through everything.
"Clara, don't even think about trying to join in." said a with similar eyes and teeth yet a more calm and serene look on his face.
"After living so many years, don't you get bored though?" says the woman as stares at the screen giving her live feedback of what was happening around the world.
"I find this serene life far better than me living in fear of being killed at any given moment like in the past." said the man in a composed manner.
"Fine, that Zelk bastard better makes this fun." the woman snorted while drinking a glass filled with blood.

Human Continent ---- Sona
"So the slave profits are decreasing, huh?" said a man with dirty blonde hair, sky-blue eyes, and the most noticeable scar from the left of his forehead down to his cheekbones.
"Yes, in summary, although the demand is sky-high right now, the goods are getting harder and harder to catch with how restrictive other races are being." said a man who seemed to be communicating through an earpiece from the dirty blonde man's ear.
"I see... wait."
"Yes, president?"
"Didn't you say at the start of the meeting that a mini-war is occurring in the Demon Continent?"
"Yes, although someone with the power to hire Nightfall must be high up in the world, this 'war' still won't last more than a day considering the power of Demon King Zelk."
"I don't care who wins or loses, just answer this one question, where will this battle be taking place in?"
"It will be taking place around the outer walls of the Roverdiam castle and some cities which surround it. Wait-"
"Finally caught on, eh? Order all Hunters to teleport to the demon continent. While those demons fight, the disappearance of civilians will be the last of their worries. So get to work, an opportunity like this doesn't come every day!" said the man with a grin that resembled a child getting his birthday present.

Dragon Continent ---- Zefer
"It seems Zelk is having quite the fun time right now, don't you think so too Vaeron?" said a feminine voice whose face couldn't be seen due to the darkness that completely drenched her being.
"One day, that man's little games will also be his downfall." a rough voice spoke back.
"Seems like someone is still mad over their previous fight. Anyway, do you want me to get rid of all the Screens watching over?" the voice questioned.
"No, that man brought the war on himself, so he too should bear its consequences."
"Oh? It seems like you know who is responsible for this little tussle."
"I do." saying those words, the being opened his eyes to reveal two shining slits of eyes, as bright as the sun.
