-Hi~ everybody's idol is here! The coming of the worst disaster?-
-Inside the demon king room-
"Sigh…"
Demon king Arthur looked exhausted while sitting on his chair.
It's been a day since the start of the war that decided the fate of the world.
His room looked messy, and theres a hole everywhere.
*Thud thud thud*
Arthur made a sound of hitting his finger to the chair.
He often unconciously made this habit when he was in a deep thinking.
"My king"
Someone already call him for many times now.
It was his right handed man Carl and his most trusted subordinate.
However, no matter how many times he called him, Arthur keeps ignoring him.
*Thud thud thud*
He only made a annoyed face.
"My king"
"...."
Finally, can't take his nagging anymore, he replied back.
"What is it?"
"My king… have you calmed down now?"
Arthur stare at Carl, and made a mocking expression.
"Calmed down..? Calm down you said? Hahaha.."
Arthur standing from his chair, and yell with all of his might.
"DO I LOOKED CALM TO YOU!? HUH!? ANSWER ME, CARL!!"
A lightning surge from his body, which surprised the guards outside.
"...I am sorry if i overstepped my boundaries, but i think looking at the condition of this room it was enough rampage, isnt it?"
"...."
Annoyed, the demon king is sitting back to his chair.
"Apologize, i act unseemly"
"You are the king, so you can do whatever you want to your subordinate. However, if you fall in anger now nobody can exchange you"
"I know that already…"
Making a sour face, he didnt want to remember his action yesterday.
…….
After the mess that the Goddess (?) Shown in revelation, the demons army is getting disoriented.
Even though he know that he hiding the goddess is a lie, if he tried to explain himself it would only invite more chaos to spread. Thats why he didnt said anything.
After all, he did hide some things even behind the majority of the demons.
Some didnt trust the king that hides the goddess from them, others start to hides behind their own territory until this mess is over, and some even starting to pray to ask forgiveness from the goddess.
Majority of the young demons is thirst of achievement and start to move on their own.
Only small amount of demons actually on the side of the demon king after that.
"How is the condition of the war right now?"
"Sir! The goblin shaman and our illusion division is holding back the adventurers that comes to the frontlines, it seems like the majority of humans and demihumans still cannot differentiate between the illusion and the real thing after all!"
The majority of the monster that fights in the frontline is illusion, while the actual attack is done by the shamans.
"Good, that might hold them back and gives us the time that we needed"
Now that his plan to attacking the three major country is unlikely, Arthur decides to just hold out untill the promised time had passed.
If he can just holding back the human-demi human alliance, no, the force of the world that comes to him after the promised time, people might get suspicious that the world hasnt ended yet.
And perhaps, they might realize that something is strange.
(Of course, that's just my wishful thinking, but…)
If worst come to worst, he might have to use his last resort.
(True, if i use that, i might be able to destroy the invading army)

However, his aim is not to destroy the invading enemies. Rather…
His "true" enemies lies somewhere.
(Killing each other until both side is completely depleted their resources and manpower will only benefit "them")
And he still need to find out the actual reason of the goddess prophecy.
Is it true that she was willing to completely annihilate the demons completely, or…
(Is someone else is behind this mess…?)
He didnt have enough info, thats why he didnt want to move carelessly.
But, not doing anything is not an answer too. If he didnt made a move soon, it might be too late and the demons will be the one getting wiped out instead.
"How is the rest of general is doing?"
"Sir! General Byakkou is surrendering without much fuss, the newcomer… black knight, he called himself is staying in his room untill further orders, as for general Larvitar.."
"Ahh, wait, let me guess. He was angry and demanding and explanation in the front door?"
He was basically his father in law, the father of his wife. So in some way, he knows his habit and tendecy. Knowing him, he was probably think he cant trust his daughter to him.
He didnt really mind if he takes away his wife since their marriage is only for building relationship with powerful demons, but he will fight to death if he wants to take Leticia away too.
"...."
But Carl is getting silent and making a troubled expression...
"Whats wrong?"
"No, err. Actually…"
Carl didnt dare to made a loud voice, and whispering to the demon king.
Upon hearing his answer, Arthur is yelling.
"THAT IDIOT, AGAIN!!??"
Arthur is getting headache for more trouble that seems to never ends.
…...
-inside the forest near the frontlines-
A bunch of beastman and ninja wearing beastman collapsed.
Some is writhing in pain, others are unconcious, while the rest is groaning, while the rest keep asking for forgiveness while making a pose of dogeza as deep as they can.
While a single beastman is having a face full of bumps that his face is barely unrecognizable while grabbed by a black haired girl.
"Awoooh.. AwOoH..! PHLEsSHE WHAITH, MHIJO SHAMA..!" (Aaahh! Please wait, Miho sama!)
However, Miho is ignoring him while she keeps hitting his face.
"What the fuck!?"
She keeps hitting him without stopping, while questioning the ragged pile of clothes in front of her.
"I was having a moment comparable to the awakening of the hero when they was on verge of death or the final boss when they got cornered and showing his final form or something. And i got that awakening like moment where i surpassed my limit and evolve into the next form not from such a great and epic final battle, but from the betrayal of my own subordinate. Tell me, are you actually a enemy all along in disguise? Huuhh? So you plan to kill me and becoming the leader yourself? Oh, how great this damn mutt that i just picked up dying in the street somewhere trying to biting me back, eh? This mutt is getting all cocky and great that he didnt need his master anymore is it? Shall i just made you being remembered eternally and amazingly forever in history by making you into a stone statue and writing the insignia as "the world greatest clown dog" while making a pose of getting whipped while naked like a dog as you are? Oh, i bet you're actually looking forward for it, huh? Huuh???"
"N..nhYO.. tHats a MhiiSUDERSTHANDHIg MHiJoo ShaYmAa.." (no, thats a misunderstanding Miho sama!)

Finally, cannot bear to look at it anymore, one of his subordinate is stepping up.
"P,please wait Miho sama! Number 2-sama is only following the order of Iguva-sama!"
"Huuh!?"
Miho is staring at him, which make the subordinate of number 2 is flinching.
After some explaining, it turns out that number two is actually trying to do a favor for me because i saved his life.
Because he didnt know what would made me happy, he asked Iguva for consultation. And thats what made this mess.
"S..so, you can release number 2-sama now, Miho-sama… he seems barely able to breathing anymore.."
"....What, thats all?"
With a thud, i removed my grip from number 2-kun.
How boring. Stop disturbing me with such a boring reason.
I thought he was a spy or something, if he was, then i would have a justification to erase the people or country that was behind him on the back.
Whatever, i'll just ignore these puppy, especially that one who was starving for attention the most.
"So, how is the progress of the war?"
"Huh? Uh, urm pardon me. Give me a second.."
Oi, did you guys forgot your actual jobs... ah right, i just beat them out cold. The subordinate of number 2-kun is watching the battlefield with binoculars that i gave to them from Bernard.
"It seems that neither is in advantage of each others for now… once the rest of the humans-demihumans army is coming, things might be different... "
Not all of them had comes yet huh. Well, make sense given their numbers. But its kinda slow.
"..huh?"
Subordinate-kun is making a surprised voice.
"Hmm? Whats the matter?"
"Ah,no, perhaps i was mistaken. But…"
(What is, that…)
That words seems to coming out from his lips. And then…
"HI! WELCOME TO MY SHOW, LITTLE PIGGIES!"
A voice that seems to be as loud as its from a loudspeaker is resonated in the battlefield.
Even from this distance, i can hear it clearly.
Subordinate-kun seems to be baffled from this development that his brain can't keep up.
While me...
"Fuh"
I let out a slight smile.
Did some interesting things appeared?
…..
-in the battlefield-
So peaceful…
I feel like i was inside the water.
Nii
My limb is losing feelings, my breathing is calm.
Is this what heaven feels like?
...cha
Ah,
I feel like i was experiencing some bad things lately.
So at least, let me embrace this feeling more
Onii...
So noisy. Just let me rest…
…..
"Onii-chan, wakey wakey… Raideein.. "
*Zaaap*
"GYAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!?"
A lightning is coming from above and zapping the unfortunate guy that become its target. Even his bones is shown.
"Oh good, you're awake…"
"Can you stop trying to send someone back to sleep when they just wake up? Thank you, my ugly imouto!"
"You're welcome, handsome onii-chan"
"That's not a compliment, you know that right?"
The warrior Kite and the mage Sally is exchanging their greetings like the usual they do.
Kite is getting all black and his hair is becoming spiky because of the lightning.
"You know, can't you try a more normal method of waking up someone? Trying to make me sleep again (forever) soon after i just wake up is quite mean, isnt it?"
"I tried, but onii-chan stopped breathing and not responding, so i thought resucitating you might work…"
"So your answer is hitting me with a thunder!? Can't you just use a weaker version of lighting magic!?"
"......"
"You forgot how to use it!?"
"I mean, thunder spell seems cooler…"
"The hell!? Are you trying to save me, or killing me? Made your choice already!!"
"It was a pain to remember a weaker spell.."
"IT SHOULD BE THE OPPOSITE!! GAH, ARE YOU A GENIUS OR A IDIOT, WHICH ONE!?"
"*Blush*"
"AGAIN, IT WAS NOT A COMPLIMENT!!"
No good, she might be my sister, but i can never understand her.
Uh, now that i think about it, why did i sleep in the midst of nowhere?
Now that i was waking up, it seems like i heard something, like a sound of battlefield.
Then,
When i start to looking at my surroundings.
I saw hell…
….
"GUAHAHAHA! IT WASNT HURT! IT WASNT HURT AT ALL! HEY GUYS, THE PROTECTION IS WORKING!"
"HAHAHA! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I RECEIVE MORE WOUND THAN YOU AND STILL HEALTHY, LOOK! OLD MAN GORI IS STILL STANDING!"
"ACTUALLY, HE DIDNT MOVE FOR A WHILE NOW AND HIS EYES IS NOT FOCUSING, THINK HE WAS ALRIGHT?"
"BWAHAHA, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? WE ARE THE GODDESS AND SAINT CHOSEN WARRIORS, OF COURSE WE WOULD BE ALRIGHT!"
"OOH RIGHT, RIGHT! FORGET IT, I ASKED A SILLY QUESTION. BWAHAHA!"
…..
"...."
The warrior Kite doesnt know what to describe this scene.
A army of devils full of wound, trying to kill each others… (in his eyes, both monster and them looks the same)
The amount of bloodlust and killing intent is so intense that he can basically saw it in plain sight.
What happened when he was unconcious?
"Sally, do you know what is happening when i was unconcious?"
"Mm, no? I just wake up myself. Remembering anything, Onii-chan?"
"Let's see… guh, my head… why do it feels like i dont even want to remember it?"
"Perhaps you hit your head somewhere?"
"Could be. Hey, imouto, try cast recovery magic to me.."
"Gigadeeiiin"
*KABLAMMM*
"GYAAAAAAH!!!??"
The place that Kite just standing a second ago is becoming a giant hole.
He barely managed to avoid in last minute.
"...Dont avoid it, onii-chan"
"ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!? OF COURSE I WOULD AVOID IT! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO, RECOVER MY MEMORIES OR MY ASHES!?"
"...shock theraphy?"
"Okay, listen to me here imouto. Look at the definition of shock therapy in the book and apologize to all of the actual therapist in the world right now."
"*Blush*"
"AGAIN, IT WAS NOT A COMPLIMENT! AARGH, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR HEAD!?"
After some more siblings quarrel, Kite finally calms down a bit.
"Ah wait, i think i kinda remembers now… stoooppp, wait wait stop, dont start using any other spell anymore! I already remembered!"
Kite hurriedly stopped Sally mouth that starts to chant a spell.
"Let's see.. i kinda remember i was fighting harpies, then once i won, some new enemy is coming, and i thought it would be over at that moment. Fortunately i was saved, but what i was found was a bunch of muscular guys wearing a devil skin bringing a young woman as a sacrifice, perhaps they were trying to make a offering to the evil gods or something? Hmm? I think i saw the woman somewhere before? After that, my conciouness is blurry. Perhaps i lost my conciouness?"
While Kite was in the middle of explaining…
*BLAAAM*
"Whoa, what the?"
"What happened?"
"L..look, up there!"
In the midst of battlefield, a trisula is standing in the middle.
Everyone is surprised, how did such a giant trisula appears out of nowhere.
But what surprised them the most.
Is that there is a silhoutte above the trisula.
And then…
"HI! WELCOME TO MY SHOW, LITTLE PIGGIES!"
A adult woman with long scarlet hair and wings and tails of dragon, wearing a exposed red outfit that completely doesnt match her appearance is showing up out of nowhere, while shouting things that nobody even understand.
