The Rising Of The Fallen Warlord

"Yurishia, look. That's so strange. That giant mass of fog… it looks like it's heading straight for us. But… I've never seen fog like that."

 

Shizu was right. That isn't regular fog. The amount of mana it contains is actually scary. The fog came like a wave. From high speed it suddenly stopped when it covered the chocolate lake.

 

"This is pretty much it."

 

"You mean… Edenweld forest is inside this fog?"

 

"Pretty much. This is the spirit barrier. And now, it's time to get in."

 

Normally if you walk through this mist you would eventually just come out the other side if the spirit doesn't grant you access. But I don't plan to ask for permission.

 

"You ready, Zeshia?"

 

"Just swing me firmly and I'll handle the rest!"

 

As instructed, I made a big swing against the mist. And it was just like striking a piece of cloth and making a tear in it. An opening to the pocket dimension.

 

"Come on, Shizu. It won't stay open for long."

 

"Eh? You want me to come all the way?"

 

"Of course. I'm not going in there all by myself. Now hurry up."

 

"Understood!"

 

We both hold hands and jumped through the crack, entering Edenweld forest.

 

------

 

What's going on? I know I engraved my charm spell on him. Why isn't it working? I don't need him to kill anyone here.

 

These were the thoughts that Liliana was having. The reason why her magic didn't work is because Beelzebub had the unique ability Lesser Domination. He can't be cursed, or targeted by any status alignment type spell if the caster is weaker than him.

 

"It bothers me to see so many ants. How deplorable. Stellaria has become a world where the small fish prevail. I analyzed the magical energy of everyone here, and now I need to cleanse a good amount of you."

 

Bull Beelzebub raised his hand towards the sky. A black arrow was shot straight upwards. In the next moment, everyone's eyes were glued to the sky. A huge black sphere with countless eyes was created.

 

"Be honored that you shall meet your end by my hand. Pour down. [Almighty Disaster]!"

 

On that very moment, the sphere floating in the sky emitted a bright light and exploded. The black orbit scattered all over the sky. It descended to the ground at a tremendous speed like guided missiles! The missiles went towards a great number of demons.

 

No explosions were made, but blood was scattering everywhere. Bull Beelzebub had annihilated a large amount of demons. Yet despite this, he tilted his head.

 

"...I'm troubled. It seems some insects managed to survive."

 

Cynthia and the worshipers managed to deploy the magic barrier Fuka in a large formation around them shielding themselves and anyone in range.

 

"You girls over there. Despite surviving my attack, I still deem you unworthy to live. From here on, I decide the order of the world. If you refuse to go down quietly, I will just make you suffer."

 

"You… you are not our lord. We have no loyalty or fear to show you. We obey the only true Maou. And that's Lady Yurishia, wielder of Zeshia."

 

A barrier was placed upon this lands, so Nelia's spiders couldn't enter. Yurishia entrusted the task of gathering info to them. However, they weren't ordered to engage. Even so, turning their backs to the enemy and trying to escape was not an option at this point. They knew that if they made a run for it, they would be killed. Their only option was to fight.

 

"Shall I burn you until your lungs burst open from screaming? There's no other fitting punishment for women like yourselves."

 

The magic formation for the great heat cannon Gargantua appeared in Beelzebub's hand. A large green evil flame was unleashed upon the 10 girls. They imediately tried deploying Fuka to hold off against the attack, but small cracks appeared on their combined barrier.

 

"No. That won't be enough. We need more… Oooooaaaaah!"

 

Cynthia let out a cry similar to a song, but at much higher intensity. Powerful sound waves were generated and collided with Gargantua. The flames were extinguished. Beelzebub, once again tilted his head, but retained his calm expression.

 

"That's weird. What kind of demon are you? I've only seen that ability in banshees, yet you don't look like one."

 

"That's because my father is an oni, while my mother was a banshee. I've inherited traits from both of them. And under Yurishia, I managed to grow to a different level."

 

"Don't overestimate yourself girl. You only live because I was slightly curious. Now that I know you're such an awful mix… the next attack will finish it!"

 

Bull Beelzebub unleashed another Gargantua at a greater speed than the previous and was specifically targeting Cynthia this time. 4 of the other girls jump in front of her to protect her. They put everything they had in their Fuka, but they were burnt down the next moment.

 

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

 

Wounded by the intense flames the 4 collapsed. Though they managed to avoid death thanks to their anti-magic barrier they had suffered extreme burns.

 

“Everyone…..!”

 

"We… will manage… Cynthia…. run…. tell…… Yurishia….."

 

"Girls… you… you coward! Aren't you ashamed of yourself? How can you take innocent lives like that!?"

 

"Spare me the lecture. You're trying to judge me based on what's right and wrong? There is no wrong! Everything I do is always the right thing! Look around you. I left a few demons alive, yet none of them jumped in to help you. Only you believe in that nonsense morality. "

 

Gargantua once again appears in his hand, but this time…

 

"Oh no you don't! [Ice Chains]!"

 

"I'm here too! [Ice Slip]!"

 

"And don't forget… [Wind Bullet]!"

 

The combination of an icy ground at his feet, chains wrapped on his arm and a direct hit from Wind Bullet made Beelzebub lose his balance and he feel on the ground.

 

"Hurry, Cynthia! Run!"

 

Cynthia nodded firmly.

 

"Hang on. I'll get help somehow!"

 

"Insolent insects! There's a word for all of you! Stupid!"

 

A large shockwave was generated from Beelzebub's body and the 3 girls were sent flying.

 

"... It's not stupid to protect…"

 

The 4 burned girls also found strength in their legs to stand up once more.

 

"...For our mistress…"

 

"Everyone, let's do this."

 

"Die!!!"

 

Beelzebub fired a barrage of flames in all directions. The worshipers put all their might into defense but once again, they were blown away.

 

"....Kyaaa!!"

 

"As I said, stupid."

 

With the girls collapsed, Beelzebub had now a clean shot towards Cynthia. He raised his hand ready to deal a fatal blow.

 

What's up with these girls? They are weak, they know they have no hope of victory, yet they fight. Why? For Yurishia? What's the point? It's all pointless. Beelzebub can't be stopped anymore.

 

As Liliana was having these thoughts and was watching the scene unfold before her eyes, a powerful explosion was suddenly produced… and the great demon Bull Beelzebub was blown away and send crashing in the castle walls.

 

"Eeeeeh!? What just happened?"
