Chapter 18:

New visitors (Part 3)

From Assassin to Demon lord


In our world exists 3 supreme magical beings. Angels, Demons and Spirits. In ancient times these three races were in constant wars with each other. So In order for stopping this endless war, three new gods were born to govern their respective races. God of spirits created realm for spirits only and sealed it away. Goddess of Angels set its base on Holy mountain and periodicaly sends out angels to help newest generations of Heroes to fight demons. In the end, war never ended. It just changed it's form.

Spirits now stands in the middle of this fight, only loyal to their summoners.

From this we can say that only thing that can cure curses is holy magic, which is deadly to Demons, especialy to Demon lords. That means Aranas curse is permanent for the time being.

"Curse of weakening, what a nasty curse you have on yourself honey," Hestia said with tear in her eye.

"There's not much you can do about it, but who put it on you?"

"It was angel named Saraquiel, she was acompanying a hero that i killed one hundread years ago. Well if he took my hand back then he might be alive now."

"Naturally."

Truth is that Demon fruit that I ate before becoming a demon lord have power to corrupt anything, even Heroes.

"How long is that curse in place?"

"For about fifty years."

"One thing is weird from my point. Angels can't use curses. That kind of thing is possible only for Demons and alike."

"When she activated the curse, her wings turned black."

"So she become a Fallen hm? That will be hard for her. After all Fallens aren't allowed to recieve blessings from either goddess of Angels nor goddess of demons. They can't even get blessing in replacement from other gods, which means that they will stagnate and went crazy in few decades."

"Thanks for explaining sensei."

"You're welcome."

"To take of a curse you need a holy magic right?"

"Well mostly. Sometimes you cal walk around it."

"Wait how?" Arana shouted in suprise.

"You will not take it of, you will reverse it."

"You mean reverse magic? That magic that only one in two millions people have?"

"It's one in five millions but that is not important now. The important part is that I know that one in five millions."

"Really? where is that person now?"

"Calm down Ari, she is not here."

"She?" Yuki asked.

"An elf girl from guild I worked at."

"Is it that Lizzie girl you mention earlier?"

"Yes that's her. Now that I think about it she was someone I was close with in the guild, still I'm not sure why."

A beeping sound started ringing from one screen.

"Hm? An intruder in the ruins of the village?"

"Looks like a group of fifty people. Mostly humans and dullars... two elves, One from forest tribe one from Azure tribe."

"Wait azure elf? Show them to me." I replied to Renzirs report.

I looked at the screen. And there she was, Lizzie.

"Speaking of the devil."

"Wait is it really her?"

"Yes it is. Seem like she came here to find me. But why with such big army?"

"Hm? Oh, I know that elf! That's Denzo, grandson of the village cheif."

"Is that so... then I shall welcome them in style worthy of Demon lord."

I touched the screen board and spoke in dark voice.

"Arise my army! Show those punny humans what are you made of!"

With that an army of undead has risen from rubbles of the village.

"Are those..."

"Dead elves? Yes. I didn't know what to do with them when I brought them here so I asked Renzir to turn half of them into undead and send them to the village. The other half was stufed in the core. And while they were at it I took all food and other materials from the village to strenghten us."

"Can you tell me why did you kill those elves?"

"Why? Because they pissed me of."

"Whoa, what a demon lord-like response! I wonder where that boy I wanted to rape went."

"He was stabbed in the back and almost died. After that he decided to live for himself and those who are loyal to him."

"Is that so..."

"Yeah... To my army! Took anyone who loose will to fight captive. Especialy those two elves."

The battle looked completly one sided from the begining and it ended in same manner. When magicians run out of mana entire group was doomed.

Truth to be told entire area was under effect of my recently summoned beast called Crystal spider. This spider like creature absorbed mana of its oponents and disperse it into ground, thanks to that all previously dead beings has risen which made the outside two houndread undead strong.

The spider who was apointed as guardian of the ruins used his mana sealing threads to tie up everyone and personaly brought two elves to the dungeon, while the undead took the rest of the group to the first floor where they locked them up.

Haba took Arana and torso of her servant to the restroom next to the dinning hall.

Me, Yuki, Filona, Hestia, Kaen who stood directly next to me, Renzir with her Knight of death and Gobura were waiting in the Throne room.

The crystal spider walked in the room with Lizzie and young elf on his back. When he stopped before us he put those two on ground an did a little salute.

"What brings you to my domain elves?" I said with intimidaiting voice.
