Erian: Slaughter
Many people died in the attacks I launched. There were corpses and blood everywhere. But strangely, I didn't feel anything.
"Is this the effect of the body I possessed?"
"You perverted demon who has no shame...!…!! I will kill you in the name of the god of light…!"
A woman who looked like she was wearing sexy armor shouted. He was different from the enemy I had slaughtered earlier. This woman looked beautiful, and I could see a strange energy radiating from her body. I was so focused on the girl that I could see the reflection in her eyes. From there, I realized that I was naked while floating in the air.
'Eh…!? Naked? Me?'
"Hmmm… No wonder it feels so cold when flying like this."
As I muttered, the woman with special armor jumped towards me. He immediately tried to slash my neck with his sword. But its movement seemed so slow that I could avoid it easily.
"He avoided it!?"
"That's too slow…!"
*BAM*
I counterattacked the woman with my elbow, causing her to fall hard to the ground. Even after receiving such a crushing attack, that woman still tried to stand up. The black-haired woman radiated a large amount of energy again.
"I will never lose against a demon like you…!"
'I just attacked her lightly... but a human should be dead and fall like that. It seems my calculations about humans in this new world must be updated. Knowledge from Earth might not be very useful in this place.'
I immediately remembered several games that I had played before, where the demon king could do various things with his magic and physical strength.
'I was wrong... knowledge from Earth is still quite useful here. As an example…'
I raised my hand and created a magic circle in the sky. The sky became increasingly dark, and rumbles of thunder began to be heard. I imagined a magic circle that caused a shower of lightning.
"If you thought enough, then take this... a small part of my power."
[Lightning Shower]
Dozens of lightning strikes hit the ground around the attack area. The lightning also hit the remaining knights and masked troops. I, who made the attack, was also quite surprised to see the results of this magic.
"Ah… I can't control it."
'I didn't expect the magic to be this strong... even though this was my first try.'
After a few seconds passed, the thunderstorm stopped, and the sky became clear again. The black-haired girl, who was stronger than an ordinary human, was lying limp on the ground. The woman continued to defend using defensive magic. But she was hit by lightning many times until her body ran out of magical energy.
"How could a newly awakened demon wield this much power?"
I went down and grabbed the neck of the black-haired woman who was trying to kill me. She is really light, even though she is about 6.7 inches (170 cm) tall. It's clear I'm the one who's too strong here. I turned towards the remaining knight squad behind me. Gazes full of despair were visible. Some of them even fell limp.
"It's impossible that the holy maiden has been defeated…"
"At this rate, we can't win anymore. How can we lose against these misguided bastards?"
"There is no hope…"
"Now, what should we do!?"
Panic occurred because the woman who was the leader of the troops had been defeated. Suddenly, I remembered the curse tattoos that were usually carved on women's bodies. I learned about demons and their curses from many games in the past. If I'm not mistaken, the name of the curse is lewd crest. I touched her stomach and began imagining the cursed magic in my memory.
"Bastard demon... What do you want to do to me...!?"
I didn't expect this black-haired woman to still be able to babble when her neck was in my hands.
"Relax... I'm just giving you a gift because you entertain me so well."
"Aaahhhnnn w-what you have done to me…!? Ooooohhh…!!"
The body of the black-haired woman in my hands writhed wildly. She seemed to be holding something back when I carved a curse into her lower stomach. I'm sure it felt very uncomfortable because I was doing tattoo engraving manually. I did it manually because I haven't mastered this magic yet. Moreover, I just reincarnated a few minutes ago.
"Keep silent… it will done in a second."
While I was focusing on carving the curse tattoo, one of the fallen knights got up. He then sped up until his head covering fell off. Her blonde hair and beautiful face were visible. The blonde woman tried to cut my hand. But before her sword could reach my hand, one of the masked troops brushed her sword away.
The gust of wind blew away her mask. I could see the face of a black-haired woman with small ram horns on her head. This horned woman is no less beautiful than the blonde woman. I seemed to be reincarnated in a world full of beautiful women. I then returned to focusing on the tattoo carving, which was almost finished.
"With this last touch… then the lewd crest is done. Congratulations because you are the first woman who gets cursed by me."
"You bastard demon…!"
"Ha… It looks like you haven't realized it yet. but I'm not just a mere demon. I AM THE DEVIL KING...!!!"
I immediately threw the black-haired girl's body towards the remaining troops. Then I approached the fight between the horned girl and the blonde woman. I blocked the hand of the blonde woman who was about to swing the sword. The woman was very surprised because she couldn't see my movements. I immediately squeezed her wrist until it shattered.
"AAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGHHH….!!!"
The blonde woman screamed in pain, but she still managed to look at me with a gaze full of hatred. I quite like that kind of look, as if she could only hate me without being able to fight.
"That's a good expression… As a reward for showing a good expression in our first meeting... I won't kill you. so... go away...!"
I grabbed the blonde woman's hand and threw her body towards the knight squad, who looked panicked. I flew and gave a horror impression to all of them.
"This is a warning from me... I could kill all of you until there's nothing left. But unfortunately, it won't be a fun game. Tell all humans... The Demon King has risen from the dead. I will spread terror on those of you who try to harass me and my people. Now… you can leave before I change my mind and slaughter you all."
In the end, I let some people escape. They left while taking the two women who fought me. If I glanced at it, there were only around a dozen people who managed to survive the attack in my area.
"Now… You should at least give me clothes."
I spoke while turning towards the kneeling masked troops. They seem very obedient to people I don't know. They look very obedient to me, even though we only met today.
"Yes master…"
One man came forward and handed me his robe. I was quite surprised when I saw the clothes under his robe. She is a woman who has black horns, and her clothes are very skimpy. This woman only covers her breasts and crotch.
"Who is your leader?"
The woman with the goat's horns raised her hand. I had expected it at first. This woman has a radiating energy that is much more prominent than the other members.
"Name…"
"Sabrina Aus Modeus... I am a high-ranking servant chosen by the first-ranked General of the Demon King. I was assigned to resurrect you, Lord Ernes…"
"Looks like you made a little mistake. First, the Ernest you are trying to revive doesn't want to be revived. Second, my name is Erian... I am the replacement chosen by Ernes."
"What do you mean?"
"So basically... Ernest made me come into this body to replace him. Honestly, I'm not used to this body either."
I really can't get used to this body full of strong muscles. My height is also very different from my original body. This body is more than 75 inches (190 cm) tall.
"Don't tell me Master Ernes doesn't want to be resurrected because he no longer cares about the demon race...!?"
"I don't think it's like that... He hasn't told me the real reason. But it seems like he's just tired…"
"Tired?"
"Yep, he's tired of war or something like that. That's why he appointed me as his successor."
I made up a bit about Ernes' reasons, but not everything I said was a lie. Without me realizing it, the sun began to set. The light shining on my place of reincarnation dimmed. Sabrina's face looked very tired when she heard my words.
"I know there's a lot you want to ask... but before that, I think we should leave this place first."
"You're right... we need to go to the branch headquarters immediately."
"Good, we will go there... on the way. You have to tell me about this world."
