Author note: Isn't cliffhanger nice? Is what i wanted to replied in the previous chapter but, while i at it i wrote it here.

You expected to meet a princess and gain favor from the royalty and fell in love with the princess? WHAT A SHAME! Life isn't that nice.

And i wonder, did kind princess even exist when raised in that kind of environment? Well, enjoy the chapter where the princess identity was revealed(With the title)

From Leisha body a laugh spilled out. And as if someone from behind picking her up, she got up in an unnatural way.

“Leisha……?”(Gretel)

Gretel timidly tried to call out to her new friend. However what replied her wasn’t the usual Leisha’s kind voice but, a cold and whole different voice.

“I’m amazed human, to think that you were able to sees through my disguise. You have my praise.”(Leisha?)

Seeing how a whole different voice came out form Leisha’s mouth, all of them froze on the spot.

No, it wasn’t because of that that they were frozen. The reason was somewhere else.

“What’s wrong? You won’t run away? Or you were unable to?”(Leisha?)

She let out a mocking laugh and slowly flew toward Feral. And then she asked.

“How did you found out?”(Leisha?)

“Instinct.”(Feral)

Because of his reply, Leisha giggled.

“You’re nice. Won’t you work under me?”(Leisha?)

As if she was whispering her love, she whispered softly on Feral’s ear.

“Nah, why would I work for a brat like you?”(Feral)

“Fufu, I like your arrogant attitude. Then, will this satisfied you?”(Leisha?)

Leisha’s body slowly covered with darkness that appeared form herself until it covered her fully. From behind the darkness we can see the silhouette of Leisha slowly changed until there’s no resemblance on her.

Lastly something grew out form her back and blew away the darkness and revealed the body of a different woman.

“Hoo, you look strong.”(Feral)

“Of course. I’m not a demon for show.”(Demon)

Yes. Right in front of them wasn’t Leisha, the princess but, a demon.

Pitch black purple hair. Revealing clothes that shown her lustful body. And big black pair of wing that enough to cover her body with it.

“So how about it, you become interested now?”(Demon)

There wasn’t even resemblance on her expression. It was completely a different being. Feral who saw that let out a smile.

“Sure, I’m interested…… In defeating you that’s it!”(Feral)

Just like before he delivered a punch to her face.

“What an insolent human.”(Demon)

However it was lightly stopped by her with one hand. The punch that was enough to make Orc knell to the ground was stopped with only one hand. Not to mention, by a girl.

“Don’t you think that punching a girl’s face is rude?”(Demon)

“Sorry but, to me gender doesn’t matter. There’s only the strong and weak.”(Feral)

“Then let us see who the weak here is!”(Demon)

The demon smiled and put her finger together.

*Snap*

She snapped her finger. Then something began to happen.

From beneath a circle of fire appeared and immediately rose up and became a pillar.

The fire pillar magnificently soared through the sky in the middle of the plain field and left nothing except a burn mark behind.

“Hee, a magic. That looks nice.” (Feral)

Feral was fine.

Before it became a pillar Feral managed to escape thanks to his Rabbit foot skill that increased his agility. If he didn’t have it then it would be a close call.

The proof was visible from the sweat that appeared on his body.

“I know. That’s why I use it.”(Demon)

The demon lightly replied with a smile.

In this dangerous situation both of them still had the room to have a conversation. Is it because both of them underestimated their enemy? No.

It was because both of them were strong. The strong don’t feel afraid or underestimated their enemy. They only defeat the weak.

“Interesting. Then, let me show you mine.”(Feral)

Feral took a stance.

“Fufu, didn’t you just saw how your punch was useless? What are you going to show me?”(Demon)

He didn’t reply. It was because his punch will answer it directly to her.

He clenched his fist next to his waist and relaxed his body while still maintained his stance. Then in an instant he launched his punch.

It didn’t look different than before so the demon once again aligned her hand and met with his fist.

“Hah, what with this weak punch. The previous was better……”(Demon)

However in that instant she felt it. Not on her hand but, far further in her shoulder.

The impact of the punch wasn’t aimed at her hand but was aimed on what beyond it. Therefore an impact didn’t appear on her hand but on her shoulder making it dislocated.

At first the demon was speechless. However as if she didn’t receive any damage. She didn’t cry out instead, she laughed.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!”(Demon)

Her laughter filled the air leaving nothing but her laughter to hear with their ears.

To normal human it was a horrifying sound that filled with insanity. Child would cried, teenager would shivered in fear, and adult would passed out.

The demon’s laugh was that powerful to human. In a sense Feral who was in front of her and didn’t affect by it was also a monster.

After a while her laugh subsided and finally disappeared.

“I’m honestly surprised, human. You are worthy enough to name myself. I’m the first daughter of the demon lord of fire, Asche Lybryolnyes. Remember it well as in the last name you will ever hear!”(Asche)

Asche strongly declared.

“I’m Feral, the man that will defeat you. So remember it well as you live your life in shame!”(Asche)

If someone named themselves it was courtesy to name ourselves. With that logic Feral also named himself.

By how they talked, they were equal. However what about strength?

They were about to face off when suddenly someone interrupted them by swung wooden stick at Asche.

“…!”(Asche)

Reflexively she dodged it and moved back a little.

“Now! Everyone run to the village!”(Yuu)

Children, women, and adults ran toward the village leaving only few of them behind.

“We will assist you!”(Hyodou)

Between Feral and Asche stood a man with big body, and the other six people that participated in the previous battle except Teena.

“For someone who was frozen just a second ago, you sure talk big!”(Feral)

Feral said that mockingly.

“Don’t say that and just accept it. Even you aren’t sure you can win right?”(Yuu)

“Nope, I’m good.”(Feral)

Although Yuu showed his worry, Feral nonchalantly declined it.

“You are confident to win?”(Feral)

“No. Even if I win, I will be by thin margin.”(Feral)

“Then…”(Yuu)

“Use your eyes.”(Feral)

“?”(Yuu)

Yuu was confused by those vague words. However soon he realized what Feral was talking about.

“Fufu……”(Asche)

In front of them Asche wasn’t moving and just laughed while looking at the ground. Or that was what someone would normally saw but, from his position he can see it clearly.

Asche’s eyes that were shown from the gap in her bang, it was shining with bright red light.

Although she was laughing, just one glance at those eyes was enough to make people shivered in fear and knew her true feeling.

“You’ve done it, foolish human! Interrupting between a match was something that deserved death.”(Asche)

She lifted her head and fixed her dislocated shoulder without any problem then she then put her fingers together.

“Die!”(Asche)

With a snapped multiples circles appeared beneath every one of them except Feral.

“DODGE IT!!!”(Yuu)

Yuu immediately warned them however it was too late.

Without waiting the circle immediately rose up and became a pillar.

The fire pillar magnificently soared through the sky in the middle of the plain field and left nothing except a burn mark behind.

Because they already saw it appeared before and what it will do, they already knew what they should do. However barely…… Just barely everyone dodged them except one person.

“GYUUUAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!”

Only Hyodou was unable to dodge it. Because of his body he was unable to escape in time even if he knew what was coming and burned black without any spot left.

Thanks to his Steel body skill his life wasn’t ended but, it was undoubtedly a heavy damage. The second they joined Feral, a drop out already appeared.

Ache was in a foul mood.

“It was fewer than I thought. Fine then, I acknowledged all of you decent enemies for dodging that.”(Asche)

It was different situation when she acknowledged Feral. The flattery was empty.

“Now, come at me and become ash!”(Asche)

Because they ruined her rarely got amusement, she was in foul mood and wanted to kill them immediately.

The action of assisting Feral was a great mistake.

“What now? You feel like running? Some of them look want thought”(Feral)

Once again Feral said that mockingly.

“We can’t. Even if we run there’s no guarantee that we succeed, and other that went to the village won’t be able to.”(Yuu)

They have no choice but to defeat the demon if front of them if they wanted to survive.

“Everyone, prepare for battle!”(Yuu)

They immediately went into the decided position. However with the Hyodou retired they didn’t have any choice but to replace him with Feral.

“Oi, oi, what am I, a mother goose?”(Feral)

Feral was unsatisfied on how they gathered around him and using him as their shield.

“Quit yapping and start fight that thing!”(Selia)

Surprised by Selia angry remark, he smiled. No, bared it teeth.

“Fine then. Though I figured all of you pretty much useless, I will let you assist me.”(Feral)

He didn’t think that any of them would be any help to him but, either they fight or die it wasn’t concerned to him. That was why he didn’t mind it.

“Are you done having your final conversation?”(Asche)

“Aah, we already prayed for your safe departure to hell!”(Feral)

Feral lightly taunted her.

“Then, let us begin….Your bloodbath that’s it.”

And then Feral’s taunt marked the start of the battle between eight of them and Asche.
