Chapter 23: Undying Demonic Army

Lucifer is currently playing "Deity's Domain" on his own dark-room, yes, his room he rented with his own money.

The room was dark, with the only light being the three computer monitors in front of him. He also have another three which were currently not being used.

He was on a quest to get the "War God's Gauntlets" a God-Rank item used by a genuine God during the Ancient Time.

However, he just died, and he needed to wait for half an hour more before he respawned.

Sighing, he took some potato chips beside him before drinking some cola. He sighed, before taking out his phone—made by his majesty—to play a game to pass time.

However, he pressed the wrong app and it showed a map where a blinking red dot was moving in an incredible speed, passing by buildings.

'Flight?' He checked the red dot and it was the tracker he placed on Emi's watch. 'Why is she flying? Does she have an enemy?'

He frowned and looked behind him, where a girl wearing only a white T-shirt and green panties can be seen sleeping soundly on a futon.

The girl is none other than Hisui Alda, the ex-Court Magician, and the NEET-buddy of Lucifer.

Yes, the two of them has been sleeping on the same room ever since they found out each other's identity. Nothing really happened, for now they just see each other as friends.

He sighed and shook the girl awake, "Hisui...hey Hisui wake up."

"...nngh?" Hisui groggily opened her eyes as she shifted her head and glanced at Lucifer with a droopy eyes,

"Hangzho? Wut...wut ish ith?" She yawned.

"I know you haven't had an ounce of sleep since we started playing together but please, you got to see this."

Hisui groggily sat up as she released a tired groan before crawling her way beside Lucifer, "Hmm~? A tracker~?"

"Yeah, it belongs to Emi. Look, she's moving in with a speed almost reaching the speed of sound, even ignoring buildings."

"She's flying."

"Yes, but what could possibly happen to require her to use her wings and celestial force?"

"Hmm~ Can you find out where is she heading~?"

"Wait for a bit..." Lucifer narrowed his eyes as he began rapidly press his keyboard, "....Got it, she's heading to Toranomon Hills."

(AN: A tall building in Tokyo, don't know if its the tallest but its certainly tall, around 250m at least)

"Hmm~ Do you think she's in trouble~?" Hisui asked.

Lucifer remained silent as he thought for a bit before shrugging, "Let's just show this to Maou. He'll decided what to do."

Hisui nodded and stood up, she was wearing quite a large shirt so it covers her panties as well.

Lucifer dialed his boss's number, it rang for a few seconds before someone finally answered.

"Maou, Emi is c—"

«...Looshifer?»

Lucifer blinked, "...P-Princess? What are yo—No, not that. Princess, can you give the phone to your papa? I need to talk to him."

«Papa went to pick up mama»

"Eh? Really? Who's taking care of you?"

«Mmm, Sa-neecha, and Noko-neecha»

"I see, well sorry for disturbing you princess." With that, he ended the call and put down his phone, "Oh well, looks like Maou is already on the way."

"Hmm~"

"....Want to play a new game?"

"Sure~"

--------A Few Minutes Earlier---------

Alex was working on a certain project inside his workshop. It involves a certain white and red colored ball used to capture and fight some monster.

It wasn't really that hard to make, just a Space Magic to store the monster, Soul Magic to make them loyal, Regeneration Magic to heal them if they are inside, and Gravity Magic to make sure that the ball will return to the owner after throwing it, of course to also allow the thrower to never miss.

Of course, let's not forget the beeping effect, the red blinking light, the sparkle after a successful capture, and its minimize form to make it easier to carry.

Truly, it is High-Spec artifact that would make people fight for it. But sadly, this high-quality artifact is only being treated by the maker as a toy for his daughter.

"That's done—Hm?" His eyes narrowed as he finally felt the clash of Celestial Force that was happening somewhere in the city.

"This...Emi?" He looked down to where his daughter is, only to find her playing with Sagiri and Nonko. "She didn't notice? But last ti—ah, now I remember. I place a powerful bounded field here that would cut off the presence of Sephirah."

So that's why she didn't notice that Emi is in trouble. However, Alex shook his head to rid of those thoughts as he used Magic Sense to search for Emi.

"...Heh, not only the brat Sariel, but he also brought with him a hundred or so Angels huh? Emi and Rika seems fine too. And Suzuno...well, I'll spank her later, that brat actually went with Sariel's plans."

He stood up and went out of his workshop before he walked down. There, he met with Alice, Nonko, and Sagiri.

"Papa!" Alice smiled as she waved her hand while sitting on the ground playing with a dino-toy—just a normal one, with Sagiri sitting beside her.

"Alex-chan~" Nonko waved her hand which was holding an Ultraman figurine.

"Alexander." Sagiri nodded while holding a triceratops-toy on her hand.

Alex smiled, "Guys can you take care of Alice for a bit?"

"Sure~? Are you going somewhere~?"

"Yeah, I'll pick up Emi, that woman just got herself into something troublesome."

"Sure, you can count on us Alexander."

"Papa, careful."

Alex smiled as he kissed his daughter at her cheeks. He then went out of the Inn as he stared at the faraway Toranomon Hills.

His clothes then change to his Ente Isla attire as his bat-like wings spreads on his back.

All this time, every night, even without his permission, Judecca keep on evolving his body, and modifying it to turn him into a literal monster in a human skin.

He has already surpassed his limits as a human and as a demon, and even his own Demon Form undergone a drastic change.

He slowly levitated from the ground, before silently disappearing.

---------------------------

"Ma~n, why can't you just give up already?" Sariel groaned in annoyance, before his eyes released a purple light that shot towards Emi who was bounded by a purple rope.

"AAAAAHHH!?"

"Hmm, it seems like I really can't bring you down like I did with the Fallen Angels."

Emi smirked, "Heh, just give up already. I'm not even resisting, yet the Holy Sword won't show itself to you. Just let us go before Maou arrive here and annihilate you."

Sariel groaned, "Ahh, that won't do. The Demon King has something we needed you see, and to have that we need to kill him."

"Kill him? What a joke, that guy who could even split a continent into two? What are your chances against a being like that?"

"And that's why we have you right? Surely, the Demon King wouldn't just kill us off if we have you."

Emi rolled her eyes. She was sure that Alex could care less about her....not, there's Alice who treats her as a mother after all.

'Shit, that guy dotes on Alice a lot, if they really have me as hostage then—'

"Then just let Rika go!" She stated as she look at her unconscious friend.

"Mah, that won't do. You see, I wanted to know how could she still treat you as a friend even after knowing that you're the lover of the Demon King. I wanted to thoroughly examine her, she did hinted that she holds feelings for the Demon General Alsiel."

Emi frowned in disgust, "So you're eavesdropping on our conversation?! What a creep! You stalker! Pervert! Panty snatcher! Rapist!"

"SHUT UP!" He released a powerful purple light and shoots it towards Emi.

"AAAAAAHHH!"

Sariel glared at her. He did not go that far damn it! If he did then he wouldn't have a pair of white wings but black!

"I did not go that far—!? Hm?" Sariel noticed the space, the bounded field was shaking intensely.

'The heck? Hundreds of Angels were already powering this up?! Yet it feels like its about to break?!'

Emi smirked as she stared Sariel mockingly, "I told you didn't I? Just let us go before he arrived. Now, its already too late "

Sariel glared at her before looking at the sky. A beat later, a crack appeared on the sky as Alex came out of it.

"This magic....absurd..." Sariel gulped, he really underestimated the power of the one hailed as the demon king.

Alex appeared just above the building where Emi and the others are. He stared at Emi with his glowing red eyes, and the rope that was binding her was immediately broken.

"....Thanks." Emi whispered before she run towards her friend.

"De-Demon King—" Sariel only to shut up when Alex glared at him.

"Shut it," his eyes then moved towards Suzuno who flinched from his glare as she took a step back, "You, you little shrimp. Just stay there and prepare your ass for me, I'll spank you so hard you'll turn into a masochist!"

"Wha-?!" Suzuno blushed as she took a step back and unconsciously covered her butt.

"The heck?! What are you saying at a time like this?!" Emi screamed.

But Alex just glared at her, "And you. You little runt, why is it always you?! First with Olba, then now with Sariel?! Are Heroes really a magnet for trouble!? Huh?!"

He then suddenly frowned and raised his hand, just in time to catch the blade of Sariel's scythe.

"Tsk." The angel clicked his tongue as he tried to pull his scythe back, but it wouldn't budge. "Huh?"

'Pain Stare.'

"Guh?!" Sariel was blown away as he coughed up blood. If he did not raise his guard at that instant, he was sure that he'd lose his consciousness.

Alex raised an eyebrow, "Still conscious? Impressive. But if that's all, you're disappointing. Why don't you call your group of birds to help you?"

Sariel flew at the sky, "Are you sure? At this height, I'm at my strongest. Adding hundreds of Second Generation Angels might be a bit too much for you."

Alex responded with an arrogant smirk, "As the Demon King, I take pleasure in crushing the hopes of my enemies."

"Tsk, then don't regret it. Come my brothers and sisters!" At his words, hundreds of "Gates" appeared along with hundreds of Angels.

Each of them were releasing a powerful Celestial Force, if it was the orginal Satan, even at his peak he would surely die, but...

"Is this all of you?" Alex looked around and nodded his head, "Well then, it's my turn."

'Jude.'

{Roger, my master}

"My body is wet from the blood of my enemies." Alex chanted, this is completely unnecessary, he can cast this magic without a chant, this is completely unnecessary, Important things must be told thrice, this is completely unnecessary!

So why the chant? Of course for the cool factor.

"My blood is of iron and my heart of glass. I have overcome countless battlefields."

"What is he saying?" Sariel narrowed his eyes.

"Not even once retreating, Not even once being understood."

"Maou! What are you doing?" Emi questioned.

"He was always alone, intoxicated with victory in a hill of corpses."

"Thus, his life has no meaning. That man was certainly a king of demons."

"Undying Demonic Army."

A flash of crimson light blinded everyone. And when they opened their eyes, they were now in a completely different place.

The angels were startled as they recognized this world.

"Demon....World?" Sariel muttered before his body turned cold when he saw the things in front of him.

It was a gigantic bone dragon, on its head was Alex, standing proudly, behind him were Suzuno, Emi, and Rika who was now conscious and pale as she look at her surrounding.

Behind the gigantic bone dragon, are millions upon millions of different species of Demons, they are being led by the Demon Generals and the Advisor of Demon King, Camio.

"What is this? Illusion?" Sariel muttered as he suppressed his fear.

"It is not." Alex voice echoed throughout the world. "This is a Reality Marble, the ultimate expression of my magic, my own personal world. A technique only available to individuals who have their cores completely twisted. It is the complete rejection of reality, replacing the real world with the wielder's own version. It can only be used by someone who's very soul rejects the world for being wrong, spitting in the face of reality and the gods as it were."

"That's...absurd. No, Impossible! You mean to tell me you made your own world?!"

Alex smirked. This isn't really a Reality Marble. Its just an illusion made from his memory being "regenerated" through the use of Regeneration Magic.

But using the Space Magic which has the ability to interfere with boundaries, he shortened the boundaries that separates this illusion and reality, projecting it to the real world.

But as expected, using Space Magic like that is still a bit too much even for him, so he just had Judecca do it. After all, she is someone who knows how to use his own magic even better than himself.

"It is up to you to believe it or not. Now my warriors," Alex smirked as he enjoyed the expression the angels were making.

"Rage."

RROOOOAAAARRRRR!!
