The place was silent, even Ramusas who was watching from the other side of the castle was silent. However, there was a faint smile on his face. Thinking of Eiji on his side, and already making a deal with him. Ramusas was relieved and felt very confident to defeat the Demon Lord Faction and the Demon Council.
On the other side. The watching heroines were staring at Eiji's back with heated gazes. Their view of Eiji's power was once again refreshed after seeing the previous scene.
"Still, how many times has Eiji changed his hair color?" Sona asked.
Rias held her own chin as if trying to remember when she first met Eiji. She remembered that Eiji had blond hair and blue eyes. "With this it should be four. Well, black isn't bad either. It makes him look more Japanese. His eyes also look cool like the boss villains in anime!"
The crimson-haired girl started to get excited, her otaku hobby starting to surface. The other girls shook their heads. Some were still in a daze, especially Noel who had previously underestimated Eiji. With a power this strong, she was a little embarrassed by her concern for Eiji earlier.
Lucia knew Eiji was strong, but she didn't expect him to be this strong. He could kill that many Heroic Spirit troops with just his gaze. Thinking of her man... Her new master was not only very handsome, but also very strong. It would be a lie if Lucia wasn't happy, she felt it was good that her mother and younger sister had also become Eiji's women. That way, their family's safety was more guaranteed.
"....."
In the ruins of the building. Gald gulped, just like the dead Nebra. He also finally remembered the face of the man who destroyed all his troops. It was the same face as the one who killed Zolgear in the video he had watched a month ago.
The other party was...
"Eiji Seiya, is that you?"
"Right, it's me."
"!!!"
Gald gasped, he naturally jumped forward and looked at Eiji who suddenly appeared behind him with cold sweat on his face. One of his arms that was previously cut off by Basara wasn't helping either, he was trying to suppress the wound with his other hand, his face pale from losing so much blood.
Eiji had deactivated his magic eyes, now his eyes were only dark with a tinge of red in them. The Magic Eyes of Chaotic Destruction were not eyes that could be activated carelessly, he was honestly worried about accidentally destroying whatever he saw just by activating the eyes. Especially when he glanced at Basara whose body was covered in wounds beside him, he cast healing magic on the boy.
After all his wounds were healed in an instant, Basara stood up and looked at him with a somewhat awkward smile.
"Yo Eiji, you're a bit late. But thank you."
"Well Chisato would be angry if I did nothing while you were being ganged up on. Also, there's no way I'd let those guys take Mio."
"...You're right, so what should we do about this guy? He's a general of the Demon Lord Faction."
Originally Basara wanted to ask why Eiji had changed his hair color, but that was not important. What was more important now was how they dealt with Gald. During their brief battle earlier, Basara knew the other party's identity was quite important, so instead of killing him, should they capture him and interrogate him? They could also use her as a bargaining chip with the Demon Lord Faction.
"Isn't that obvious?"
What Basara thought was not what Eiji thought.
Slowly Eiji walked up to Gald who was staring at him with frightened eyes. In this form, Eiji felt that being gentle to the enemy who came to the door was the same as being cruel to oneself. No matter who the other party's identity was, without sufficient reason, the enemy standing in front of him would...
Eiji stopped walking, he stood right in front of Gald with an expressionless face and a gaze that might be mistaken for a condescending look.
"Wait a minute! Eiji Seiya, do you really want to meddle in Demon Realm's political matters?"
"Oh? I'm sure you're not that stupid to ask this question. Are you buying time for something?"
"...."
"I don't sense any reinforcements that will help you. But I sense you activating magic within yourself. Self-destruct magic? Judging from the magic circle you're using. Once activated, not only you, it will also blow up the area within a 100 meter radius."
"But unfortunately, in your current situation, what you want to do is pointless."
Put Basara or anyone else aside. At this point a nuclear level explosion wasn't even capable of hurting Eiji's body. As for Demon Realm politics? What is that? If it wasn't for the plot, he would have overthrown the entire Demon Realm and wouldn't have bothered to follow the plot so far.
"How did you..."
Gald didn't think Eiji could know he was planning to blow himself up and bring them to their deaths together. For the sake of the Demon Lord he was currently supporting, Leohart. He was willing to sacrifice himself as long as monsters like Eiji Seiya died and did not interfere with the Demon Lord Faction's plans.
But it was too late, even before he blew himself and everything around him up. Eiji stretched out one of his hands and muttered.
"Nuelienu"
White light shot out from Eiji's hand and it devoured Gald. There was no explosion or blood, Gald's swallowed figure vanished into nothingness. That person was already dead.
Nuelienu or Absolute Empty Void was one of Anos' spells that turned the target into nothingness. Everything touched by this magic will turn into nothingness. Unless the target has the ability to not be affected by nothingness, they will all suffer the same fate as Gald.
After that, looking at the destroyed buildings and people who died because of the enemy's previous attack. Eiji used the power of 'Time Matter' and it didn't take long for everything that was destroyed and dead to return to normal.
Many demons in Wildart city thanked Eiji and worshiped him as if he was a hero. His popularity in that place increased and was no less than Ramusas who did nothing when his city was attacked. It seemed that the old man was deliberately silent and let him show how strong he was in front of that many enemies, he seemed to be satisfied, Eiji didn't care about this.
"Let's go back."
Eiji said without waiting for Basara to say anything, his figure had already disappeared and returned to the castle with teleportation magic.
"....."
Basara's lips twitched. About Eiji, he was actually already numb to all the things he showed. He wondered if they were really the same age?
...
Knowing that Gald could not be contacted many times and there was no news about the operation of capturing Former Demon Lord Wilbert's daughter, Mio Naruse.
On a plain different from the territory of the Moderate Faction. The name of this place was Lundvall, the home and main headquarters of the Demon Lord Faction and the current Demon Lord, Leohart.
Sitting on a throne inside the castle, Leohart kept tapping the armrest of his throne with a serious expression. There was anxiety in his eyes as he looked far away at the large entrance in front of him.
"Did Gald fail?"
Unlike other Demon Lords in the past, the current Demon Lord, Leohart cared deeply for his subordinates. Especially Gald, actually in terms of achievements, Gald was the one who should have become the new Demon Lord. But the people of the Demon Council chose Leohart because they thought it would be easier to control a younger Demon Lord.
Leohart who knew this was disgusted with the people of the Demon Council. Those old demons, for now Leohart pretended to be obedient as they used his half-sister Laila to threaten him.
Thinking that his older sister whom he loved was now in the hands of the Demon Council, Leohart ground his teeth and his aura made the throne room tremble.
At this moment, someone contacted him via magic transmission.
"Leohart, we lost contact with Nebra. The life signs of all the Heroic Spirit troops we sent out have also vanished."
"So this operation failed?"
"Yes, even with our help, you and your people still failed. Leohart, we elders are disappointed in you. You wasted the resources we gave you."
Hearing the other party's voice full of mockery, Leohart clenched his fist that almost crushed the armrest of his throne. The operation to capture the former Demon Lord's daughter failed, all the troops vanished. Leohart didn't care about Nebra because he was basically a Demon Council person, but Gald who was leading this operation was his subordinate!
Didn't that mean Gald was also dead?
'Damn!' Leohart roared in his heart, he also cursed the shameless Demon Council elders. They were the ones who had urged the Demon Lord Faction to carry out this operation in the first place after learning that Former Demon Lord Wilbert's daughter was in Demon Realm.
The old men were excited, especially after learning of Wilbert's daughter's beauty. They were old, but still very horny. Otherwise, they wouldn't have used Laila to threaten him either!
One of Leohart's regrets was letting those old men see Laila's goddess-like appearance. If... If he had let Laila stay in the house like a prisoner even though it was cruel. Laila would not have been taken away by those people!
Fortunately, Laila still had a way to contact him. Although not often and only once or twice a month with her abilities, he could still hear her voice just like when he was called by one of the Demon Council elders.
He knew Laila was locked up somewhere and at least she had not been touched by those old men. It wasn't that the old men kept their promise not to touch Laila, but that they couldn't do so because of Laila's abilities.
The old men were frustrated of course. Leohart sneered every time he heard them threaten to touch his older sister like now.
"Leohart, don't forget Laila is in our hands."
"I know, there's no way I'll forget."
"That's good. Then prove your worth, with your power, you should be able to destroy the Moderate Faction and those who oppose us. We elders will give you a chance, just don't forget to bring Wilbert's daughter to us."
"I understand."
The call finally ended. Leohart took a breath and his expression looked extremely contemptuous.
"Don't worry. Not only the Moderate Faction, you parents who oppose me will also be destroyed."
"It's only a matter of time... There is no information yet on what exactly happened to Gald and the army he led. Could it be Wilbert's older brother? Ramusas seems stronger than I thought, he might not be worse than Wilbert."
Leohart pondered, he actually already had a plan in mind and only needed to change it slightly.
"Belfear." He called out to one of his trusted subordinates.
The figure of a light green-haired youth with pointed ears and demonic horns appeared out of thin air. He looked at Leohart with respect and loyalty in his eyes.
"Yes, Leohart-sama."
"Have you gotten any information about what happened to Gald?"
"I'm sorry, but since Gald and the army he led entered the Moderate Faction's territory. I can't go there to check on the situation."
"Even with your abilities?"
"Yes, there are much stronger barriers installed in the Moderate Faction's territory."
"But Gald and his troops can still enter..."
Belfear adjusted his glasses. He knew there was something odd in this situation and explained. "It seems that we underestimated the people who were also coming to Wildart City at that time. Leohart-sama, you already know the former Demon Lord's daughter Mio Naruse didn't come to the Demon Realm alone, right?"
Leohart nodded. "You already told me this before..."
"That's right. Besides the two girls from the Hero Clan, Jin Toujou's son and some girls whose origins we don't know. There is also a man named Eiji Seiya who was previously rumored to have killed Zolgear. So I suspect he has something to do with this."
"Ah..."
Leohart recalled an information that he had known for quite some time. The murder that happened to one of the Demon Council members, Zolgear was hard to hide from the eyes and ears of every Faction in Demon Realm. The Demon Lord Faction was no exception, especially when they had a cooperative relationship with Zolgear who was actually also ordered to capture Mio Naruse.
However, he knew the old man failed, he was killed by the man named Eiji Seiya and also lost his servant who now joined the Moderate Faction.
What a pitiful old man... Leohart was actually happy about Zolgear's death because the old man was a person from the Demon Council.
But still, what Belfear said made Leohart's expression become serious.
...
Meanwhile. Without Leohart, Belfear and everyone in the castle realizing it.
A woman had sneaked into the castle. Her white hair tied in a ponytail swayed with the movement of her plump butt. Although she walked leisurely while looking around curiously, none of the guards in Leohart castle noticed her.
That was Samantha Bella. It turned out that Eiji had thrown her into the Demon Lord Faction's territory. After exploring the forest, slaughtering every demon monster and absorbing them to strengthen her strength. Bella saw the castle in the distance, coincidentally she was sweaty and her clothes were dirty, she wanted to take a shower and eat.
At that moment her eyes lit up. Using one of Demon God Samantha's abilities of being able to hide her presence, she entered the magnificent castle and walked around there as if it was her own home.
"First, let's find a bathroom. Second, let's find something to eat."
"According to the gossip the guards are talking about, some of them mentioned Leohart. I must be in that Siscon's castle right now."
Bella called Leohart Siscon because of the man's love for his own sister.
It didn't take long for her to find the bathroom, she took a shower there. She didn't know whose bathroom it was, but it was spacious inside and there was no one there. After bathing and putting on her clothes that had been cleaned with magic. In fact, Bella could clean her body too with her magic, but as a modern woman, she preferred to take a bath and it just so happened that the bathroom in this castle also had warm water.
Judging from her movements that were so natural. One could see that this wasn't the first time Bella had treated someone else's home as her own.
If Eiji was here, he would be speechless because there was a woman who was so shameless. No less than himself, especially when she found the dining room filled with food on the table. She sat down and ate without asking permission from the house owner.
While eating fried chicken and drinking wine, Bella suddenly remembered something.
{It shouldn't be long now, maybe starting from tomorrow. I remember in the anime that I watched in my previous life. After the army led by one of Leohart's subordinates failed. Although there was the presence of Eiji who was most likely around Mio and he was the one who thwarted the attack.}
{Ck! Anyway, it doesn't matter. At least in Leohart's next plan which is to hold a 7v7 tournament between the two Factions. For what, I forgot and don't care. That Siscon was actually going to use this opportunity to save Laila. While the people of the Demon Council were busy watching the match, he sneaked into the Demon Council headquarters to free Laila}.
{My only problem is that I'm not familiar with this place, I'll follow Leohart and cut him off after reaching Laila's location! I remember Laila is a beautiful woman with a goddess figure, she has big breasts and hot demonic features.}
{Laila wait for me! There's no way I'm letting that Siscon and Brocon get together with each other. I have to save Laila and make her realize that Yuri is her true love. Actually, I have to hurry up and do it before my sister finds me in this dimension.}
Bella didn't realize her plan was leaked and made many people who heard it have strange expressions.
After eating she immediately left the dining room and not long after that Leohart and Belfear had just entered for dinner.
"This..." Leohart was stunned and confused to see that all the food on the table seemed to have been eaten by someone. Although there were still some left, but some chicken pieces were only bones and two bottles of wine were emptied.
"How can it be like this? How dare the servants serve dishes like this to Leohart-sama."
Belfear was not happy, but at the same time also realized something strange. There was no way the servants or the people in the castle would dare to do this on purpose.
