Diablo's Tasks!

In the barren streets of Tempest, a certain Primordial could be seen taking a stroll.

He was currently walking toward the Labyrinth in order to Capture Mjurran who Lucifer informed was a traitor.

'To think there would be someone who would dare betray my master! I can't wait until I get my hands on them!' Diablo creepily smiled.

'I should hurry this up, I don't have time to waste here.' Diablo disappeared, leaving a gush of wind in his previous spot.

Appearing in front of a large dungeon-like door, Diablo put his hand against it and inserted his Magicules.

As soon as Diablo did so, the 60 ft tall door slowly opened.

Entering inside, the doors close behind but Diablo continued walking.

The inside looked like an ancient tombstone, with vines on the wall and seemingly bright.

Suddenly Diablo stopped moving and walked toward a wall with a curious gaze.

"Anti-Magic? Kufufu, quite the powerful one too, let's see if I can break it." Diablo spoke with a smirk as he placed his hand on the wall.

"WAIT!"

Suddenly, Diablo heard a child-like voice near him.

"Demon Lord Ramiris I presume?" Diablo questioned calmly looking over to his left, where a certain fairy was floating.

"Yes, it is I the Great Demon Lord Ramiris!" Ramiris replied with her chest puffed out.

Diablo just watched with amusement.

"Do I know you from somewhere? With your aura, I should definitely know you from somewhere!" Ramiris questioned curiously, flying around Diablo in circles.

"I do not believe we have met before, you may call me Diablo. But you would rather be familiar with my old alias, Noir, The Black Primordial." Diablo replied nonchalantly.

"Oh, The Black Primordial. WAIT! You mean THE Noir!?" Ramiris questioned with her mouth agape.

"I would rather you call me Diablo, but yes that used to be my old identity." Diablo responded.

'No wonder as soon as he put his hand on the wall I was warned of someone dangerous entering. To think Rimuru could get such a servant!' Ramiris inwardly pondered.

"Lord Ramiris! Please come back to the control room!-" An insectar humanoid monster suddenly appeared before Diablo and Ramiris.

The newcomer was surprised to see Diablo.

"My apologies for disturbing you, but Lord Ramiris it is dangerous to be down here." The insectar noticed an ominous aura around Diablo but decided to ignore it since Ramiris's protection takes precedence.

"I know, I know Zegion! I was just talking to Diablo here! So it's fine since he's super strong!" Ramiris explained, pointing excitedly at Diablo.

Zegion seemed confused on who Diablo was.

"Ah! Are you the one who is rumored to be the strongest subordinate of our lords? You also serve directly under Lord Lucifer and Lord Rimuru?" Zegion suddenly remembered hearing about the supposedly strongest subordinate who directly serves under his Lords.

"Yes, trust me when I tell you they aren't just rumors." Diablo smiled, staring at Zegion as if he was prey.

"Well, regardless we need to return to the control room, Lord Lucifer told us to not leave the control room unless necessary," Zegion explained.

"Well, my destination was there anyways." Diablo responded.

"Well since we're all heading their together, let's go!" Ramiris exclaimed.

Snap!

Snapping her fingers, they suddenly appeared in a room with multiple screens on the wall.

There was a table with a screen inside of it and chairs around the rectangular table.

There were even some couches and tables in the back as a lounge.

Sitting in the chairs were only, Apito and Souei.

"Your back!?" Apito exclaimed once seeing the trio.

Souei just stayed silent.

"Yeah, I brought a friend!" Ramiris spun around Diablo.

"Oh, I think I know who you are! Your Diablo right!?" Apito questioned with stars in her eyes.

"Yes, I hope I can be helpful." Diablo slightly bowed.

'This fairy is quite the actor! Even though she's acting carefree, her senses are watching my every move, especially from what I observed she seems to be a little powerful inside the Labyrinth.' Diablo thought, glancing at the fairy flying around the room.

'She seems to be wary because of my title, I suppose she knows our kind very well.'

Diablo would deal with this issue later but now wasn't the time.

Souei just nodded at Diablo which Diablo returned.

Curiously walking over, Diablo notices all the screens showing different locations live.

"Status report!" Ramiris told Souei.

"Currently, all citizens have made it safely inside the Labyrinth, they are staying in the 80th floor to the 87th. Geld is down there right now giving out directions and making sure everyone is taken care of. Since we haven't dispatched any soldiers but the 1 thousand with Lord Lucifer, we have about 30 thousand soldiers guarding the 70th floor in case of infiltrators with Hakuro and the Ogre Chief leading them. Geld will also soon be joining them on the 70th floor." Souei quickly explained the situation.

Ramiris nodded.

"How are their live feeds of what's going on? We can even see the battle between Luci- Lord Lucifer and the Empire starting." Diablo questioned, looking at the screen that was implemented inside the table.

"Rimuru created it, it's called Argos! It's some sort of receiver, Rimuru created multiple of them, you basically put it up in the air over a certain area, and it uses the Magicules in the surrounding environment to get a vivid image of what's going on." Ramiris explained simply.

"We connected it to these screens, and it allows us to watch all battle fronts from one room which is awesome! Of course, Rimuru couldn't finish it without my help." Ramiris added with a proud tone.

"Well I need to find the one called Mjurran. Can this Argos find her?" Diablo asked.

"Yes!" Ramiris replied quickly.

Diablo described her features and waited for Ramiris.

"Gimmie a sec, Ah! She's on the 84th floor in district 13!" Ramiris quickly found her and told Diablo.

"Impressive." Diablo couldn't help but mutter with a slight smile at his Lords amazing invention.

As soon as Diablo was about to go, Souei appeared in front of him.

"Let me handle this, you currently have more important tasks to deal with from Lord Lucifer anyways." Souei proposed.

Diablo thought about it and agreed.

'As much as I would love to punish her, it seems I have more pressing issues.'

"Alright."

Diablo soon left the Labyrinth and ran in a certain direction.

Eventually, he stopped in front of a large crater.

"So this is where the battle vs the Holy Knights happened." Diablo muttered.

One of his tasks was to find the survivors that Lucifer sensed earlier and bring them back to Tempest.

Lucifer would have dealt with it himself but he didn't wanna risk Hinata waking up, so he left the task to Diablo.

"Hmm, where could they be-?" Diablo thought aloud but sensed an attack from behind him, so he slightly dodged his head to the left calmly.

A stream of fire burst past his head, causing a small explosion behind him.

"Well, well, looks like my job got easier." Diablo slowly turned around with a smirk, setting his gaze upon 5 individuals.

The 5 individuals seemed to be, Shogo, Kyoya, Razen, Reyhiem, and the King of Falmuth.

The first two were the otherworlders, the 4th one seemed to be the chief sorcerer of Falmuth, the 5th was the arch-bishop of the Western Holy Church, and the last was the King.

They all seemed quite injured and weary even after a good amount of time has passed.

"A Greater Demon? We don't have time for this." Razen frowned.

"Who cares! I can easily kill him!" Shogo the hotheaded one exclaimed, walking toward Diablo with his hands in his pocket.

"Wai-"

"Relax old man, your becoming senile." Kyoya answered for Shogo and also started walking toward Diablo while unsheathing his sword.

Razen was about to go and help them just in case but he was held back by a hand.

"Don't you dare think of leaving us!" The king exclaimed.

"I agree! Let them deal with that monster!" Reyhiem added.

Razen just sighed and stayed behind while watching to see what happens.

Diablo was amused by their actions.

"*Sigh* Typical humans, overestimating their power when all you have is not even a fraction of what I have." Diablo sighed.

"This is gonna be boring." He added while staring at the two approaching figures.

"We'll see about that bastard!" Shogo lunged at Diablo with his hand cocked back.

As if time slowed down, Diablo watched the fist come toward his face with a bored expression.

Once he was a mere centimeter away from hitting Diablo, Diablo just slightly moved to the left.

Shogo skidded past him, staring at him furiously.

Sensing a sword slashing toward his neck from behind, he doesn't even move.

He just grabbed the sword between his thumb and index finger over his right shoulder like it was nothing.

"What a waste of time. I should just get this over with." Diablo muttered before suddenly claws appeared on his left hand.

"Let go bastard!" Kyoya exclaimed, trying to pull the sword free from his but Diablo gave him no leeway.

Crack!

Snap!

Soon after Diablo had enough and just snapped the sword in half.

Kyoya was flabbergasted at how easily it was broken but before he could even say anything Shogo launched himself at Diablo again.

This time Diablo didn't even bother looking at Shogo, he just swiped his claws once in his direction.

*SPLAT!*

Two legs suddenly landed on the ground and blood started to spray everywhere.

Kyoya just stared in horror.

"AHHHHhhhhh!" Shogo was screaming his lungs out, he was missing both his legs.

Diablo slowly walked up to Shogo and put his hand ontop of Shogos head, Shogo in turn started to scream even more.

"ARGGHHHhhh! NO STOP MOM! IM SORRY! IM SORRY IM NOT A CULTURED MAN! IM SORRY FOR HAVING A 2 INCH!! NO DON'T KILL ME!!" Shogo screamed.

Noticing Kyoya trying to run away, Lucifer grabbed his shoulder from behind and yanked him to the ground next to Shogo.

Diablo picked up Kyoya by the neck, choking him in the air while he struggled.

"It's futile, your skills are second rate, you lack a brain, your hot-tempered, you hold no semblance of morals, well I guess neither do I, kufufu."

"All of this adds up to death!" Diablo finished.

Snap!

Diablo just snapped Kyoyas neck and moved back to Shogo who was crying for help.

*KLAT!*

Diablo impaled Shogo straight through the chest before giving him the worst illusions to see in his sleep.

Dropping his body on the ground, Diablo looked around for the others.

He eventually noticed some sort of camouflage barrier.

"Is this the best you've got?" Diablo muttered with disappointment.

Snap!

Snapping his fingers, an anti-magic barrier encompassed thousands of meters around the area, immediately destroying the barrier, and revealing the three remaining survivors hiding behind a tree.

"Shit! This is no normal Arch Demon!" Razen worriedly stated.

'Could it be? If it is a Primordial, we should surrender immediately!' Razen came to a conclusion instantly.

"We surrender!"

"What!?"

"Are you crazy!?"

As soon as Razen said he wanted to surrender, the King and Reyhiem were flabbergasted.

"Ignore them, please spare our lives!" Razen pleaded.

"Too late for that, my order was to bring you back."

"They never said how..."

Diablo suddenly had a creepy smirk on his face.
