The Apocalypse and Zegion's return

The everlasting snow continent, far to the edges of the world, the icy winds howled as it froze anything and everything, no one would be foolish enough to traverse these lands.

On top of being Ultima bane of life, this land is also the territory of an Elder Dragon.

Should you not die by the cold winds, you will die by the minions of the elder dragon.

However, currently, there is a bunch of people that disregard these facts and are traversing these ice field, one thing they share in common, they are all demons.

And leading is a long crimson haired man, unflinching in the face of the cold and the overbearing aura of the Elder Dragon of Ice.

Way behind them, taking the snowstorm as his cover, a Blue Oni was trailing behind the pack of demons.

He looked around him, to see the dead bodies of the Frozen, the minions of the Ice Elder Dragon.

Despite the many dead minions, it didn't take away anything from the danger of the Elder Dragon, after all, this is the outskirts of his territory.

"So this is the aura of an Elder Dragon...." Souei spoke to himself as he looked at his hands trembling from the cold "I can't advance deeper as a clone, the main body needs to be here." He said. "This is where I end my chase, Gay Crimson." Souei frowned as his eyes landed on Guy, and yes, the name wasn't a typo.

"I return to my master." Those were his last words before his body crumbled to shadows.

...

Hinata was walking through the city of Tempest with a visible frown on her face no matter how hard she tried to hide it.

Through her observation, she noticed the progress of the city, there isn't a second that passes by without someone doing something productive.

The Orcs, though they have evolved last the term Orc, they are dutifully building and fixing the city as well as functioning as city wall guards.

'There is many things from my home world.' she thought, from food to the buildings' construction style, though a bit old fashioned, it's very stylish for this world, it gives Tempest its own culture.

Hinata then came to a halt as she turned her head to see a Cyan haired girl looking through a book, sitting on a wooden box with legs crossed.

She froze at the sight of her master's face, and again her blood started boiling.

Sensing the malicious gaze directed towards him, Rimuru pulled his eyes from his book and sighed when he noticed it was Hinata "Can you stop looking at me with such hatred, it's undeserved"

"Undeserved?...You killed my master, and you wear her face around like it's yours." She said, the only thing stopping her from reaching for her blade is the orders of demon lord Valentine.

"Shizu-san's was a dear friend, she died due to Ifrit taking over her body and was defeated, without tye energy of the fire spirit, Shizu-san's life came to an end naturally." Rimuru spoke, he closed his book and walked near Hinata.

"Liar, Did you not kill her to take control over Ifrit?"

"Hm? Why would I need Ifrit for? have you been paying attention to who rules this city and this forest?" Rimuru spoke "Honestly, just who told you I killed her?"

"..." Hinata clenched her teeth "Why would I trust over him?" She asked, to be fair, she realizes that the story she was given was flawed to an extent, but who could she trust other than him? Why would he lie? 'Shizu-sensei was his master too, Yuki has no reason to lie to me.' she thought.

Rimuru sighed "You know, if I were you...I wouldn't keep hanging on this baseless grudge you have, because whatever you do with it, it will come to bite you and everyone around you."

Rimuru can only hope that Hinata is rational and won't do anything stupid 'What Would my two brothers do if she actually tried to attack me again?' he thought. Bring a true demon lord now, Rimuru can't even imagine losing to Hinata, it won't be a problem to him, but his two brothers are unreasonably unstoppable.

"But since I hate to cause my dear friend Shizu-san's disciple to feel hurt and unjust...I'll leave you with some of her last memory." With a blue light in the tip of his finger, Rimuru touched Hinata's forehead causing her to doze off.

Looking at her dreaming in the middle of the day, Rimuru sighed "This is all what I can do for you." He said before he took his book and left Hinata alone.

.....

Irene opened her eyes to the singing of the birds. She was feeling so good, and it only got better when she felt herself in the arms of Acnologia.

She smiled when she saw her husband sleeping so peacefully, defenseless, and a bit cute of she can say so.

She started playing with his hair as she was reminded by last night's action, it only took one moment for her to feel so embarrassed and her face turn more red than her hair.

She buried her face in his chest from shame. It took her a few seconds before she relaxed.

Acnologia shifted in his place when he felt Irene move around.

"Acno! Acno! Wake up." Irene poked Acnologia's face to wake him up.

"Hmm..." He grunted "What is it?"

"We should get going, it's nearly afternoon." Irene responded, although she would have loved to extend their honeymoon, but one day is fat more than enough, besides they have a whole nation to overseer and they can't ignore the danger of the other demon lord.

"You want to go back?" He opened his eyes and asked in annoyance.

"Of course we have to go back, did you forget we left a bunch of kings and lords in the city after our wedding?"

"Aaah~"

"Pfft! You forgot!" Irene shook her head at her husband's disinterest in other people.

Acnologia rose from his bed and cracked his neck "Fine...let's have breakfast first."

.....

Back in Tempest again...

A huge crowd was gathered neat the city center.

Benimaru was looking at Zegion with a hopeless expression "Zegion, What is this??" He asked.

Zegion, the black beetle demon stood proudly in front of his accomplishment "Worry not, this is my present to Master Acnologia."

"And what is this exactly?" Rimuru asked as he looked at what Zegion brought.

"This the legendary Leviathan, the Sea Dragon of the West!!"

Everyone looked at the serpent like dragon with their eyes wide open "Y-You mean to tell me... that this thing here is the legendary Leviathan that...that...that creates diamond with it's dead scales!!!!" Benimaru shouted.

"It's in very flesh and scales, right buddy?" Zegion slapped the Leviathan in it's giant nose causing it shiver in fear and node very fast.

Clearly Zegion had some private talk with the Leviathan.

"Oh! And I brought these guys too, I found them wandering around and took them in." Zegion pointed beside him to the two undead creatures.

"Hey guys!!" The skeleton looking guy with white robe waves enthusiastically "I am Adalman, nice to meet you!!"

"And I am Albert!" Said the Paladin looking person.

The King of Dwargon, Gazef's heart was beating like crazy "This city...this city is absurd!" He mumbled.

Beside him was his advisor "M-my king! You are very wise! Alliance with this city was the greatest political move anyone could have pulled! We should record that in history!!" He already gave up.

Any king or lord that was present in Tempest was shocked day by day, the presence of so many demon lords in one place, and they all serve one guy, and they are all loyal like fanatics made them lose all hope or greed.

They all wanted one thing, and that is to stay in Tempest's good books.
