To those who have read the story before there are slight changes in this chapter.

Chapter 17 B’: The final Battle

After receiving the battle plan, everyone rushed into the battlefield to take down their allocated targets.

Hitoshi used teleport jaunt, a skill enabling its user to cross a great distance in the blink of an eye, to get near the throne of the Demon King Asmodeus.

Asmodeus was surprised to see right in front of him the General who he thought was dead. Still, seeing as Hitoshi hasn’t attacked him yet, he spoke his mind.

“You… General, you are not dead? What’s the meaning of this?” Asmodeus said astonished. The last sentence uttered upon seeing the General’s subordinates rush into the battlefield only to…help the heroes?

“I am sorry King, but I have to step in. I can’t let you kill them. Please let them be, stop this attack. Let them live. I beg you!”

“Are you completely insane? How can you ask me that? Those foolish humans entered here and attacked me! Me, the one who has been seeking peace all along! I tried and tried General! But can’t you see it? All that they see in us Demons, is evil! They keep invading our land, killing our people and looting our corpses, all while claiming that we are the bad guys!”

Hitoshi was surprised by Asmodeus’s declaration. The Demon King wanted peace?

“What the hell is going on? Damn me and my foolish indifference towards the world I was transferred to!” Hitoshi thought silently, cursing himself. Still, he tried to reason with the King:

“King if it’s peace you are seeking this is not the way to achieve this!”

MEANWHILE……

Aria VS Sachiko, Moira and Harry

Harry seeing Moira, his woman with her mana shield already broken, being under the heavy attacks of the agile moving female assassin, Aria, while Sachiko was casting healing spells as fast as she could, made haste to come to her aid.

Aria had decided that the best way to go with this battle, would be to take out the female sorceress first and her annoying mana shield. For her the priestess posed the least of threats. It was the sorceress that had to go down first.

She decided that once Moira’s shield was down, she could deal damage to her and even if the priestess kept healing her, she would still end up dead eventually.

After all, the healer’s ability to heal depended on mana which is not endless. If she kept healing the sorceress, the priestess sooner or later would run out of mana and both of them would die by her hand.

Making use of her high agility, Aria evaded most of the offensive spells that Moira was throwing at her. She had already closed in on her and was swinging her dual daggers, wearing down slowly but effectively Moira’s barrier, till it was broken.

Sachiko kept her distance from the female assassin. She was casting every healing spell she had in her arsenal at Moira. Droplets of sweat covered her alabaster skin and her only hope right now was that Eric or Marion would soon step in and save them both. If Moira was to fall, then she soon would be dead, although she was confident in her own skills, Sachiko was not so delusional as to think that she could match the agile Aria..

Still help came for them from the person she least expected! It was the devious translator, the chubby eyeglassed, black clothed kid, Harry!

Harry, as soon he was close enough casted a freezing bolt. Frost covered Aria’s feet slowing her down, her once insane speed had been reduced greatly.

All girls were surprised by the sudden appearance, still Aria had the clarity of mind to jump several feet away, assuming a defensive stance, her dual daggers ready to block anything thrown at her.

Quickly scanning her surroundings, a smirk adorned her face, as soon as she recognized her attacker.

“Ho? Look what the cat dragged in! If it isn’t the little piggy, the snotty brat Harry, the General’s gopher!”

Harry greeted his teeth, “How dare this bitch insult him in front of his woman!” he thought, before quickly answering with a few insults of his own.

“Oh! If it isn’t Aria nee-chan, the flat-chested maiden of the Netherworld! And here I was wondering where I could find in this dungeon a washboard to wash my clothes when I could have all along asked you to lend me your chest! What’s up Aria? You are after the sorceress because she is more well developed in some areas, than you? ”

Aria could be seen fuming with anger. Hell, even steam was blowing out of her ears!

“A woman’s worth is not measured by her breasts! Die! Die! Die! You chauvinistic pig!”

Not even bothering with the girls anymore, in Aria’s eyes right now there was only one target she had to kill the General’s summon Harry Porker!

The freezing bolt Harry had casted before, had already passed its duration and had worn off. Aria rushed in for the kill. She quickly closed in the distance between her and Harry and tried to slash him, but Harry being …well Harry, evaded by turning into his bat form.

A small bat could be seen flying around Aria, diving in and clawing her on the face. Aria was not standing idly, but that damn bat depicted a speed greater than her. She was swinging her daggers in the air wildly, trying to hit him, like a woman possessed.

Harry seeing Sachiko and Moira sitting there just watching, yelled :

“What are you both waiting and just stand there gawking! Yo, shitty priestess buff me! And you, Moira dear! Send this flat-chested bitch back to the Netherworld! Don’t worry I have all agro on me. Damn! Even if I was dead, I would still have all agro on me, this crazy chick is seriously angry with me!”

Both women were quick to overcome their surprise and proceeded as ordered. Sachiko, although pissed, she still buffed and casted the occasional heal here and there on the eyeglassed bat/brat.

Moira on the other hand, skilfully threw everything she had in her offensive spells arsenal at the tomboy assassin, while being careful not to hit the little bat.

Soon enough Aria’s health bottomed out and puff she was gone back to the Netherworld.

At the same time…..

Sirius VS Marion, Helion and Niki

When Niki made it to the place where the trap Marion and his lover

Helion were fighting the old geezer, she found Marion and Helion trapped in a corner.

Helion was behind Marion, who had her shield up trying to cover the both of them, while the elven archer was trying to take advantage of any cool downs in the mages attack, to throw his arrows.

Her incubus mode on, Niki walked behind Sirius without him noticing, pushing his back with both her hands, causing him to lose his balance and fall down, she cried:

“Nooooooooo……..!!!! Stop hitting them!”

“You, who are you? How dare you push me?” he said focusing his gaze to the one, who sneakily attacked him from behind. Yet, seeing the voluptuous young woman stand there, pouting her lips, Sirius’s mind was no longer committed into attacking the heroes, who were both warily watching what was about to happen.

Sirius after being suddenly attacked by the sexy succucbus and falling down, swiftly with a flexibility and agility unmatching his age and class, stood up, facing Niki, who in turn answered his questions:

“I am Niki and I am here to defend the swordswoman and the archer.”

“Ha, you want to defend that fake woman and her boyfriend? Then you must be a fake woman as well!!!” Sirius yelled.

Niki on the other hand seemed unfazed by his shouts and attacked him…..

“You dare call ME a fake woman? See these!” (she reached with both hands and she pushed the décolletage of her dress to the side using both hands to reveal her naked glorious 36D’s breasts)

Sirius’s jaw, upon seeing the biggest he ever saw mountains of flesh with their rosy coloured summits, almost hit the floor. His wrinkled hard was placed on his chest, the area where his heart was placed.

Still Moira was far from done. After showing to that hentai old geezer her breasts she lifted her dress to show him her “flower” in order to prove her point (as she had previously insinuated to Eric she really didn’t have much to lose in strip-poker, she was going commando).

Sirius’s hand that had been seconds ago been placed to his heart, was now clenched into a fist, grabbing his chest as in agonizing pain…

A nosebleed had started as soon as he saw her hidden “flower” and soon enough Sirius was seen falling back to the ground his last words being :

“This old man has seen the light, now he can die a happy man!”

The perverted old mage was back to the Netherworld!

Battle Result Sirius VS Niki and co

Winner: K.O. NIKI!!!!!

Darius VS Eric and Nico

While the aforementioned battles were taking place, Nico had also stepped in to help Eric with his fight against the scimitar yielding Darius.

Nico intervened at the right time, that is when Darius was about to cast a fatal blow to Eric’s unguarded abdominal area. Their blades met and sparks could be seen between Nico rapier and Darius scimitar.

His timely intervention was able to prevent a severe damage to Eric’s health, yet Darius was a seasoned fighter to let something like this hinder his fight.

On the contrary, he seemed completely unaffected by the addition of a second fighter and he was able to hold his ground against both Eric’s and Nico’s combined attacks.

Niki who had already won her fight, seeing her hubby and Eric being pushed on a stalemate by Darius neither of the two being able to get the upper hand against the King’s summon decided to help. So she tried to use the same trick that had granted her victory against Sirius, on the manly Darius. She shouted trying to get his attention “Take a look at these (breasts)!”

Yet Darius’s didn’t even blink after seeing Niki’s stunning assets. He just proudly declared, while exchanging blows with Eric and Nico

“Your tricks don’t work on me woman!!!!”

At that time Harry also appeared to contribute to the fight. He saw Darius’s indifference to Niki’s 36Ds. He had a suspicion all along for Darius, but now was the time to verify it.

He sneaked in behind Marion who seemed mesmerized while watching the muscular, tanned swordsman fighting her party’s leader, Eric and he screamed while flipping Marion’s skirt:

“Darius, take a look at this!”

Darius was caught in the flow and he casted a quick glance. Upon seeing Marion’s skirt being flipped as in slow motion and her “hidden treasure” enveloped in blue striped panties, being shown in all its glory, his face turned pale white. It was only for a brief second that his guard was let down but it was enough for Eric and Nico to take advantage of it and thrust their swords in his chest.

“Bastards!” Darius said coughing blood and being drawn back to the Netherworld.

In the time it takes an incense stick to burn, all the three battles ended and their participants approached the throne where the Demon General and his superior, King Asmodeus, were seen still talking.

King Asmodeus seeing all his summons defeated and being surrounded by the heroes as well as the General and his subordinates, realised that it might prove to be difficult to deal with them all.

If this situation had happened before when he was at the pinnacle of his strength he would not even hesitate, he would have no doubts of ending up victorious.

Yet, right now….

It was a well kept secret. Even the General, one of his most trusted subordinates had no idea of the fact that he the Demon King was suffering of a mysterious and incurable disease. The best healers of the demonic race were summoned but none of the priests and shamans was able to find a cure for it.

They informed him that the least they could was to extend his life for a centennial but his strength would continually diminish along with his life span until he died.

Sensing his unavoidable death and coming to terms with it Asmodeus only remaining concern was his beloved people. What would happen to the demonic race if he was gone? The constant wars with the humans and elves had caused so much pain to his people. The demons lost their brothers, mothers, children in this never ending bloodshed. There was so much hatred from both sides.

He also in the past believed that the only way to solve this was through conquest, but eons of battles with neither side coming up victorious proved him wrong. Only pain and suffer came up from it.

Yet, after learning that he soon was to die Asmodeus realized that something had to change, the war was causing so much pain to all.

So, he left the capital of the Demonic Kingdom, Villainia and his palace entrusting to his most loyal of councillors the task of dealing with the Kindom’s affairs and giving them the specific of order ceasing all act of hostility towards their enemies.

He send his messengers to the three corners of Gaia along with the prisoners of each race that he released as an act of good will to the south to the human Kingdom Aeterna, to the east to the Elven Kindom Selenia and to the west to the Dwarven Kingdom Hammerlin, inviting the rulers of each race to come and meet at Mount Athos in order to sign the treaty.

The mount Athos was chosen as it was in the south borders of the demonic kingdom close to all the other kingdoms and it could almost be considered as a neutral place.

Years and years he’d been waiting with his life force extinguishing day by day. 50 years ago the humans sent a party ….he hoped then that they might be ambassadors. Alas it wasn’t so. Good thing he had the General here so that he could stop any attacks against him thus enabling him to save up on his strength and extend his limited life span.

Yet, now it seemed that even the General….

Right now he didn’t have much force left in his old body. 10 years was the most he could expect to live. He could probably deal with the heroes fairly easy, judging from before but the General? He was aware of his power and he wasn’t quite sure if he could take him down.

Seeing that the General didn’t attack him already it seemed that that guy still had some feelings of loyalty towards him. Asmodeus sighed.

“ So what now General? Do you also wish to kill me? Did you decide to side up with the humans who charged here wanting to end up my life when the only wish I have is for peace and even sent to their leaders invitations to meet me here to sign a treaty?”

“I ask you Hitoshi whose side will you take?”
