Meeting with the Demon Lords

"Human, let's pick up where we left off," Guy exclaimed and looked at Damien with a grin on his face, revealing his sharp canines.

Damien was left speechless. He knew Guy Crimson was strong, but this was baffling. Guy had unleashed his strongest attack with nothing but a simple punch. It made Damien realize that, despite his efforts, he was still far behind. He sighed, contemplating the unfairness of the world. Well, he shouldn't dwell on it too much. After all, he had become as strong as an awakened demon lord in just four years.

"Sigh, let's get this over with," Damien thought, though he didn't show his fear outright. He didn't want the other party to think he couldn't hold his ground against them.

Damien sighed and stepped forward. Carefully, he removed Guy's hand from around his neck and locked eyes with the three demon lords. Dramatically, he said, "My name is Damien... Damien Lockheart, The Shadow Monarch, also known as The Angel of Death."

"PFTTT- Dude, you sound so edgy," Guy burst into laughter, followed by his fellow demon lords upon hearing Damien's introduction.

"BWAHAHAHA, you're right, Guy! This guy sounds even edgier than Ramiris," Milim said, holding her stomach as she rolled on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

"BAWAHWHW- Huh? I'm not edgy, hmph," Ramiris stomped her tiny feet on the barren land that remained after Damien's fight.

Damien's mouth twitched, and his ears turned a crimson hue. He looked at the three demon lords who were behaving like little kids. Crossing his arms under his chest, he stood there, waiting for their laughter to die down.

After what felt like an eternity, Guy approached Damien, looking into his purple eyes, and extended his hand. "My name is Guy Crimson, The Strongest Demon," he introduced himself proudly.

Damien took the extended hand, but as he shook it, his whole body froze. He saw Guy standing there like an insurmountable wall. Damien felt as if Guy were looking down on him. Despite this, he responded to the handshake with all his might. "Hoh? Interesting," Guy smirked, sensing a mysterious power around Damien, but refrained from asking about it.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm next! I'm the one and only Dragonoid, also known as the Destroyer, the Demon Lord Milim Nava!" Milim introduced herself with her hands on her hips, exuding pride, and looked at Damien with intense battle lust in her blue eyes. Damien disregarded her battle lust and responded with a light smile.

"Ahem, be proud, human, as you get to converse with the Great Spirit Queen herself, Ramiris, the Fairy of the Labyrinth!" Ramiris announced, flying in the air with her wings shimmering like a rainbow.

"Right..." Damien stared blankly at the Fairy. Now he understood that Ramiris had been edgy even before she met Rimuru and read all the manga he had.

"Hey, what's with that reaction? Be more shocked when you talk to me, hmph."

"Yeah, I'm sorry, Lady Ramiris." Damien bowed like a butler, placing his right palm on his heart.

"Kuhum, be grateful that I don't want to kill you. I can one-punch Milim, UmU!" A mischievous smile adorned Ramiris's face as she looked at Damien with a haughty expression, pretending to fight the air by throwing jabs at it.

"So, these are the Demon Lords who terrorize the world. They aren't so bad," Damien thought as he observed the three Demon Lords. They were the apex predators of this realm, yet they acted so childishly.

He let out a small laugh, finding it extremely amusing. Sure, he had read about these characters in the light novel, but meeting them in person was a whole different experience. He no longer saw this world as an anime or manga. It had become his reality, his world. He recalled his mother's warm face and her voice calling out to him, "Damien~~."

"Hey, hey, fight me!" Damien was brought back to reality by Milim nudging him, urging him to fight her.

A sad smile graced his face as he looked at Milim, who was slightly smaller than him. He extended his hand towards Milim's head and patted it. "We'll fight later, Milim. I have some matters to attend to first."

Sensing Damien's emotions, Milim calmed down and looked at Damien with a perplexed expression. 'Why was he sad?' A question lingered in Milim's mind, left unanswered. She was about to ask, but Damien stepped forward.

His hair fell on his face, casting shadows over his eyes. All the Demon Lords ceased their activities and turned their attention to Damien, their faces filled with curiosity.

"Sys, bring my mother out of the inventory."

[Affirmative…]

In an instant, the body of a woman materialized out of thin air. Damien stepped forward and caught her in a princess carry. He extended his left hand, and a long cloth appeared. Taking the cloth, he summoned two of his soldiers to lay it on the ground.

The Demon Lords were taken aback when they witnessed a woman and a long cloth materialize out of thin air. However, their surprise paled in comparison to what came next. Two goblin-like beings, composed of swirling purple and black mana, appeared before them. They had never witnessed such a skill before, and their immediate thought was "Necromancy."

"Still, this is quite different from necromancy," Guy pondered as he observed the shadowy beings. They bowed before Damien and vanished into his shadow without leaving a trace of their existence. Even Guy couldn't sense their presence. "This human is truly interesting," Guy grinned. How could such entities conceal themselves from him? It seemed absurd, but in this world full of surprises, anything was possible.

Damien carefully laid the woman's body on the ground. He crouched down, gently wiping away the dirt from her face.

Suddenly, a torrent of mana began to swirl around Damien. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and uttered, "ARISE."
