As the fight continued to rage on, it beca evident that there would be no clear winner for a while. After all, Aliyah was singlehandedly destroying the Demon Kings.
It was just that... with every Demon King she slashed in two, another ca to take their place, making it difficult for her to actually finish them off.
And with the fight now lasting around 10 minutes... she was down to roughly 50% of her total energy, whereas the others kept using the miasma gathered in the Demon Realm to regenerate their energy.
She tried to do it too, only for her to realize that she was way too incompatible with the Demonic Energy. Instead, she realized that it slowed her energy regeneration considerably.
That was one of the main reasons why no humans have ever gone inside the Demon Realm to try and kill all demons, since they were at a disadvantage from the mont they stepped foot inside this realm.
Slash after slash... she was constantly reminded of the words Amon had ntioned before the two parted.
She should avoid entering any strange portals...
But how could she?
Five of the strongest beings in the Demon Race were standing right there. They ran into the portal, and if she hadn’t chased them, she’d be a massive disgrace for letting the Demon Kings go, especially since she chased down the Demon Emperor she fought to the ends of the earth.
...She should’ve listened to Amon this ti.
Because now, she’s facing the consequences of her own actions.
Yet, as if soone had given her a second chance, Clentine and Amon’s figures suddenly appeared behind the Demon Kings, causing the fight to abruptly halt.
***
Hmm...
She’s not looking too good.
On the other hand, every one of the Demon Kings turned toward and Clentine, giving us a look of disbelief.
"I told you to leave," Wilhelm said.
I shrugged. "You did. Sadly, the person you’re fighting is important to , so I can’t just let you continue."
Beside Wilhelm, another Demon King chid in. It was a woman, and judging by the long yet thin black tail coming from her tailbone, she was a succubus.
"You spoiled brat... why don’t you ever listen? Do you think you hold any actual power over us? You’re a pawn of the demon race, not soone we take orders from. Leave the battlefield now, or I’ll force you to."
Right as I was about to reply, Clentine’s cold words rang out.
"Watch that tone of yours, you slimy bitch."
Ah?
Clentine?
...I could’ve sworn the hentai mangas didn’t have such crude vocabulary?
"Don’t start this now," Wilhelm intervened, then rubbed his temples in annoyance. "Amon, Clentine. You two shouldn’t be here. More importantly, if you don’t leave, then I’ll treat this as an act of treason."
I shook my head. "I’m not leaving, but I’m also not here to fight any of you. Why don’t you let us go this ti?"
I pointed at Aliyah. "She’s a noble person, but she’s also very strong. If Clentine and I were to join her, do you really think any of you could survive?"
More importantly...
"Do any of you think you could be revived? No. Clentine would turn you into her personal Soul Soldiers, and you’ll be enslaved to her for all of eternity. So what will it be?"
"You can’t intimidate us," Wilhelm said and narrowed his eyes.
"Your allegiance is clear, Amon."
With those words, the Demon Kings backed off a little. However, unlike before when they only targeted Aliyah, their killing intent now grazed and Clentine.
It was only a matter of ti before they tried to kill us, but I wasn’t scared. If anything, now was the perfect ti to test my Divine Energy on powerful Demon Kings.
Aside from that, Clentine and I carefully flew toward Aliyah.
"I thought I warned you about this," I said.
Judging by her expression, she still couldn’t believe we were here, so Clentine decided to give her a quick explanation.
"Amon here is one of their saviors, and we’re currently on a raid. Honestly... you ca at the worst ti possible."
"Yeah, your timing is absolute shit. Then again, I can’t exactly have you dying on us, Aliyah," I chid in.
She just stared at us for a mont, then let out a sigh.
"I’m sorry for wrecking whatever you had going."
"All good. Nothing you can do about it now," I said.
Instead...
"I’m not sure how you want to deal with this, but that succubus is the weakest, so let’s try killing her first. Wilhelm’s the strongest of them all... and I don’t think they’ve started to use their Gifts yet, so we need to be especially careful."
After all, I haven’t seen Wilhelm use his Telekinesis, which led to believe he was waiting for sothing, since there was no way he’d need to conserve his energy here.
Aliyah nodded and said:
"I’ve never fought with a group before, so just try to follow up with what I do. I’ll—"
"Can I try sothing first?" I cut her off.
She tilted her head slightly. "Try what?"
"It’s nothing~ Just watch for a sec."
I turned to Clentine, smiled, and finally glanced over at the Demon Kings.
They were getting ready too, and seeing how much energy they were gathering in their Demonic Cores, it was only a matter of ti before they launched a barrage of attacks at us.
But it’s fine.
It’s not like we weren’t prepared.
Though, what I wanted to do was simple.
I closed my eyes for a brief mont and focused on the energy that I had stashed away inside my Mind Realm. There was still a really large chunk, especially since the miasma in the air regenerated my energy quickly, due to my high affinity with Demonic Energy.
Beyond that, though, was the single purple rose that I had manifested, containing my current Divine Energy reserves.
And so, with a re thought, I decided to directly tap into those reserves.
