81 Full gathering

~

A lady wearing an ordinary maid clothing stood in front of seven others. Each one, stand according to their rank and is showing their own kind of respect to the maid in front of them. The maid is in fact, Aria. The strongest demon within the demon kingdom if they do not count the demon king.

"I would like to thank everyone for your presence, now that everyone is here, I will get down to business."

"...Aria, did something happen?"

"Yeah, too polite. It doesn't match with you at all."

"Then first and foremost, our master has requested on our favor to lure the humans in both of these kingdoms. Do as you will, do not break or injure them. That's all I asked for phase 1."

Aria ignored the two demons that decide to comment on her use of words.

"Phase 2?"

"Krr… When can I kill someone again?"

"Heh, you have gotten a thin blade from the demon king himself. Hopefully, you don't hit someone innocent with it or else it will break. Hahaha."

"Shut up Kahegu, you're just jealous that he unable to create any bows for you to use."

"Keh… I receive a huge amount of modified arrows though. I could even use it to kill you."

It is very rare for every great demon to be gathered in a cabin located within the forest of death. Usually, only the demon king would summon each and every one of them to have their final battle. There wasn't a need for everyone to gather as each of them has subordinates that will do their bidding.

This time, they are slightly confused by the fact that Aria herself is taking over the whole meeting and there isn't any sign of the demon king at all.

"Highness is on his way, he is probably having his lunch made by Mmmmmm... Haaa… Haaa… Sigh* fine I won't say it."

Sara was about to say that Aria cook for the Raul Evergreen, aka the demon king but suddenly Aria lunge herself forward to close her mouth shut. It is kind of late as everyone is able to complete the sentence by themselves and surprise at the fact that Aria knows how to cook?

All of the great demon except for Sara and Aria frown their eyebrows still unable to buy the fact that Aria can cook.

"The second phase will commence when each and every one of the people in the village has been taken away. We will go on to the kingdoms."

"Will we be handling both at once?"

"That is the reason why I need everyone present for this task. "

"But how do we go about leading the humans in the kingdom? I do not want to risk my life as from what I know there are three summoned heroes out there."

"Three?"

"I believe the summoned hero from the Gwendal Kingdom had gone to approach the other kingdom."

"Sigh* Why didn't we killed him? Yilmes, any idea where he went to?"

"My subordinate lost him, the last time I've seen him is on the route to the kingdom of Vermos"

"So even our surveillance has failed to track that human. Why do all of the summoned heroes seems so powerful while we are currently given a demon king that all it does is to play around? Woah Aria chill, what's up with you?"

"Don't you dare mock our master."

"Hey, is it just me or Aria is very emotional now. I rather have the one that looks as if she is going to burn the world down."

No one bothered to answer Vrotho as they didn't want to get on the bad side of Aria. As they continue to talk among each other, they suddenly detect an enormous dark aura pressuring them. No matter how much they want to move they couldn't, its as if their body is not their own except for Aria.

Seeing Aria the only person that could move, everyone thought that she couldn't' control her emotions because of Vrotho comments.

As she turns her body around to take a look at the door.

"A-Aria, did you gotten stronger?"

"H-H-Hey I was kidding around, you don't have to kill us off because of my comment."

"...It's not me."

"W-Who?"

They finally detected a presence coming their way, at the same time the pressure too got stronger, most of them were forced to kneel to the ground. Gram, Vrotho, Tayuki, Yilmes and finally Sara almost couldn't take it as they are on the verge of losing their consciousness.

"Master, you forgot about concealing your magic power. It's leaking."

"Oh, I'm sorry… My bad, it's rare for me to go out of the palace so I kind of forgot about it."

"You might kill somebody if you continue to forget master."

"I-I know, why did you leave me back there anyway? I got lost finding this cabin. There wasn't anyone around."

"....Probably because any demon that came close to you is down on the ground right now. Hopefully, none of them died."

"Eh? Sh*t, is there any healer among you guys?"

"Master… Healing is a holy element. We will die rather than be healed by it."

"H-how did you treat your wounds then?"

"The aura that we are giving out but too much of something can also be poisonous."

"I-I get it. Hmm? You guys can rise, don't continue kneeling down on the ground."

"....."

All of the ones that are kneeling down look at Raul with an expression of 'It's precisely because of you.'

"Hmm, I finally get to meet with all of you."

Aria gives a slight nod and begins to properly introduce each and every one of them.

1st Position - Aria - Elf

2nd Position - Kahegu - Centaur

3rd Position - Kraunt - Ratman

4th Position - Gram - Minotaur

5th Position - Vrotho - Troll

6th Position - Tayuki - Lizardman

7th Position - Yilmes - Dullahan

8th Position - Sara - Succubus

"Aria…. You're an Elf?"

"Yes, master."

"What happens to your ears?"

"I disguise myself as a human to keep troubles away."

"Ehh? You should undo your disguise next time when we ...…. Ah in the evening. Yeah that."

Seeing Aria sigh to herself shown how close I am in giving away my relationship with her though Sara is grinning away. I believe, we are already exposed to Aria.

"Well we don't know much about each other, anyway let's start by asking me some question. Before we move on to something more important."

"Highness, why don't we eliminate the rest of the human kind with such power."

"Hmm, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Mine is that the more I stay in one spot the stronger I get thus I rather bring enemies towards our side."

I manage to bullshit most of their question but got pause by the question of Vrotho the troll.

"Your Highness, what is your relationship with Aria?"

"...Eh?"

"Vrotho..."

"H-H-Hey I am just asking a question, you do not have to glare at me with killing intention Aria."

"Well everyone will find out sooner or later but Aria is my wife, my third wife if I were to say."

Vrotho immediately turns his head towards Kraunt. He was about to comment on it and Kraunt beat him to it.

"Just shut up alright? Can we move on already? Krrr..."

Vrotho shrug his shoulder and act as if nothing has happened.

"Okay enough questions, let's move on with the main reason why everyone is here. Just to fill everyone in with the current news, it seems that the holy alliance gathering their forces in order to sweep both the kingdom of Vermos and the kingdom of Elalia off the continent."

"Huh… Why don't we sweep in after the holy alliance sweep in the two kingdoms and we can get rid of all of them at once? Oh and the ones that are twenty meters away from us too."

"Gram enough of your hatred for humanity, everyone is not bad once you know of them and at the same time. If you kill off all of the humanity there will be no one else for you to kill. The idea of highness is the fact that if they decided to become a criminal that is when we are allowed to go on a rampage on them."

"Ohhh! Brilliant!"

"See? You got the point! Even though the human won't be annihilated we still got to have our fun hunting them for the rest of our lives."

They definitely not getting my point but hey before I die, oh well they are demons, what do I expecting of them. Most importantly they are kind of listening to my instructions right now. That's all that matters.

"Aria do you know the name of the other two summoned heroes from the other kingdom?"

"It's Rukia and Finns."

"Any information on the kind of power they have?"

"Rukia have unlimited magic power and is able to use any kind of element while Finns are able to make up new magic with his imagination."

....overpowered indeed. How the hell would anyone win against these ridiculous powers that this heroes is getting. I might as well kill myself if they found out that I am the demon king.
