《Maou : Summoning [Hiatus]》Divine War Arc: King of Fools
Advertisement
Hey , guys ... I am sorry for the late update but I started something in parallel with Maou : Summoning .
Right now I am writing my next book , Maou : Ascension . It is the continuation of this one (BTW this one has about 30 more chapters left) and I want to make it better and longer .
So far I managed to create the rough draft of the book but there is something “wrong” about it . It is really slow . Or at least slower that what I wrote so far .Furthermore, I want to make it slightly more serious than this one (only slightly tho) .
The first volume is going to be freaking boring (compared with what happened in Summoning) . This is why I want to write it in parallel with this one and when the time comes I want to post it all at once .
Well , I will work harder as my part time job is going to end on 18 this month and I’ll have more free time .
Well ... Without further ado , please enjoy !
Divine War Arc: King of Fools
Even with four out of my six senses sealed almost completely , I can still ‘see’ using my divine sense the contour of everything around me . Now , let me say this much at least ... I come from a small planet compared with this divine plane, but I never lacked luxurious and pompous stuff .
Palaces filled with gold and jewellery created by the greatest craftsmen from my world , temples decorated with sacred runes and items , statues that towered tens of meters made out of Jade and Emeralds . Still ... Compared with the entrance to Hecate’s Clan , those are just a joke !
The city itself is surrounded by a huge wall , over five hundred meters tall , made out of Dark Andrasin , a rock as strong as the finest steel , embroidered with formations that glitters in a myriad of lights creating a show that can be seen from thousands of miles away .
Above the city, I can sense a huge Divine Golden Barrier that covers everything ... This is slightly strange as something of this scale could be created only by a god level existence but I can’t sense any in this place .
There is a double door three hundred meters high and fifty meters wide made out of three types of metal . Outside a frail layer of pure Gold makes sit extremely luxurious and beautiful . Of course , the door is filled with all kind of defensive formations that should not be underestimated .

If activated at full power they could actually block one of my punches when I’ve released my Alpha Type Seals . The second layer is made out of the same Dark Andrasin like the walls which are to be expected . Still , the most amazing one is the third layer : 96% purity Adamantium .
In my former world , Adamantium was an extremely rare metal that was used for creating some of the strongest weapons that existed .
Of course, there were stronger things like Divine Star Dust Essence or Ancient Soul Hardened Metal , but it was still quite amazing .
At the gate, there are a few low-level guards that look to be in their spider form . Fortunately, I crippled my basic senses and I can sense their presence and a blurry form appear in my mind .
I can tell that they are in their Arachne form only based on their height towering over three meters , one meter above me . Unless they are some mixed blood from Arachne and Giants , they should be in their real form .
One surprising thing is that , although this is a huge city , there is no one waiting at the gate . Only us . The guards take a glance in our direction , then bend forward and offer a short greeting to Hecate . It looks like they recognised her instantly .
Like this , we entered the city without any problems . Quite a shame I might add ... A little show at the beginning might help things go smoother in the late run . Hopefully, an idiot will come out and help me with my introduction .
Inside the city , my mouth almost touched the floor ... To be honest, I am not easily impressed , but this is freaking amazing .
The street is at least one hundred meters wide with two or three stories buildings made out of stone with beautiful statues on each side . From Hecate’s description , this is actually the main street .
This is why everything is this pompous around here . At the end of the street , there is the Royal Palace followed by the Divine Temple and the 108 Great Mansions . After that , there comes the Normal Residential Area followed by the Slums and the Slaves Area .
Still ... Slaves again ... I don’t like this at all, to be honest . My mother and my sister died being slaves . I’ve experienced myself what it is like to be a slave , although my experience was quite good because my master was a nice person , but still ... No one deserves to be a slave . Even death is better than being owned by someone else .

Above our heads , there are an unimaginable amount of threads that covers the sky . Analysing them I can tell that they are used not only for decor but for defence as well as those are harder and more flexible even than that Adamantium door .
Looking around , there seems to be something amiss ... Although there are thousands of persons around , there is no one moving and I can sense a strange feeling permeating the air .
“Yra ... What is happening ?” [Andel]
“They are staring at us !” [Yra]
“Why ?” [Andel]
“ARE YOU KIDDING ?!?” [Yra] [Hecate] [Balcifer]
“...” [Andel]
-------------------------------------
Ten minutes or so later , while still strolling slowly towards the Royal Palace , obviously surrounded by thousand of odd looks , a bloodlust aura awakens me from my contemplation .
Concentrating my Divine Sense forwards , at about eight hundred meters or so in front of us , a single man , although he could be a woman , an extremely ugly woman at that but still a woman , with a body covered in lizard like scales , march towards our location with big steps .
Around him, a slight murderous aura filled with the grief and anger of those that he killed can be sensed . From the density of his aura, I can easily tell that the number of people that have fallen under his hands exceeds 10.000 ...
Of course , if I were to release my bloodlust , even a God Level existence would kneel and prostrate himself begging for his life .
Furthermore , away from his bloody aura , I can smell the sense of fear in the air . Everyone around that catches even a brief look at his figure starts retreating slowly , with their heads down , trying to avoid eye to eye contact , while emanating an intense feeling of fear and despair .
“Krar’en ...” [Hecate]
[600 Meters]
With an anxious , slightly trembling voice I can hear Hecate spelling a name ... If I remember correctly , he should be her fiancé ... That is ...
“Perfect !” [Andel]
“Andel ...” [Hecate]
[400 Meters]
She grabs my hand and whispers in a low voice so that no one around us can hear .
“Remember what you promised me ! Please !” [Hecate]
“I still consider that my solution is better but I will do as you say for now !” [Andel]
“Thank you !” [Hecate]
[200 Meters]
-------------------------------------------
[6 Hours Earlier]
“Andel ... How do you want to solve my clan’s problem ?” [Hecate]
“Isn’t it obvious ? Crush anyone that stand before me , kill your current fiancé , slaughter their top echelons and make their Clans in branches of the Arachne Clan ! Quite simple and efficient !” [Andel]
“Could you find a different way in which you don’t get involved ... This much ?” [Hecate]
“Why ? My plan is the best and the fastest !” [Andel]
“You might not understand , but for the Arachne Clan , Honour is even more important than our lives .
If we were to be helped by outsiders , although our problems would be solved , we would lose all Honour.
This is the main reason why we accepted the marriage proposition between me and Krar’en of the Naga Clan . It is the duty of my husband to protect my family . ” [Hecate]
“But I am your fiancé and you are my future wife !” [Andel]
“Yes I am , but in the eyes of our clan , you are just a no one that I met during my journey . Even if your power can guarantee the safety of our tribe , you helping us and then marrying me would make the Arachne Clan to lose all our honour . ” [Hecate]
“Sooo ... I could annihilate that Dragon something clan during the night and no one would ever know the reason ... Don’t worry , I wouldn’t completely annihilate it but I would destroy their strongest forces , all their defences and make sure that they wouldn’t be able to rise ever again . ” [Andel]
“I know you can but please , if it’s possible , let’s try to find a different , more peaceful and less bloody way to solve this problem .” [Hecate]
“Very well ... But if you are in danger even for a single second , I won’t hesitate anymore ! ” [Andel]
-----------------------------
[100 Meters]
A slight smile appears on my face while an insignificant amount of energy starts moving around my body ... I get slightly excited ... I worked on this thing on our way here using some plants that I found in the forest ... And you , my friend , my fool , are the perfect subject to test it on !
[50 Meters]
“Now , come King of Fools ! Let’s have some fun !” [Andel]

Summon Imp!
Travel with a newly born demon as he grows and learns in his own world as well as in other worlds as he gets summoned again and again. Usually to die or kill for others in strange and exciting places, but it's never certain what the next one will bring. It has its perks. With each new world comes a new story with new experiences and new lessons. There is always more to see, more to learn and more to know. Maybe, someday, it will all make sense. For now he will just work hard to become stronger, to be useful and, hopefully, survive that way. A coming-of-age story, but different. Things start to slow down to a crawl. Colors blur into one another until my vision is completely white. All I can think is "Shit, not this again!" I hate being summoned. _________________________________ updates once a week until I get more time The idea for this story began in two places. One was the ridiculously rapid pace of gaining power in many novels. Both in games and in novels, I enjoy the struggle of the beginning character, why always the rush? The other was the way many monster or non-human MCs always seem to hurry to become human (again). It always felt like a cheap way to grant the character extra powers without the difficulty of writing a non-standard thought process. Thus I wanted to write the slow(ish) progression of a monster character gaining strength and intelligence, while remaining distinctly non-human. There are no stats, xp or systems, no reincarnated soul or completely formed being to start with - unless I want to make fun of those. While the MC 'evolves', the process takes months if not years to proceed step by little step. Sit down with me and imagine, what would it be like if...
