War
Man! That was nice! I look pretty hot now, and I’m pretty sure if I make a cute face no one will ever refuse me! Let’s see in the mirror... OMG IT LOOKS SO CUTE! After all, no one can resist my charm! Fun fact: I love my new boobs! Let me just try THAT position... ok, but if I do that, no no no gotta go back, GOT IT! I got the position down! But that’s for later! Let’s just put the clothes back on. Meanwhile, the “demons” were getting impatient but they couldn’t go against HER! Yes, HER. AKA me. Now, I come out! Everyone is in awe of me, all shocked by my new-found maturity, attire and even my looks)
Back to Main Plot
Everyone is shocked at how I look! My shirt even said: “Total annihilation? Well, you asked for it!!” But apart from that, everyone was ready! Elves had about… 1 mage for every 4 archers, and archers apparently also excelled in dagger combat. Dwarves on the other hand were all melee and geared up with epic armor, full of letters from the ancient language to enhance them. Dragons... you know? Just being Dragons while also being our mounts that’ll also fight in the battle! The flying monsters would help the other monsters get there.
Getting on the dragons was hard. But once we got on it was easy to stay. After the last dwarf got on, (it was pretty hilarious watching them get up) we took flight, and it was beautiful down below. The scenery, well, was a forest, but a splendid forest, in which you could see all the features, every speck of beauty with a lake in the middle of that area. It really is exhilarating, just watching the sun's rays bounce off the water, just a peaceful scenery mind the dragons competing for who could do the biggest flame, doing Aerial acrobatics and all of us riding them occasionally puking. After about 10 minutes of that shit, we reached the battle. Doing a quick look over, No beast men died, as they were using very advanced guerrilla tactics, and were really speedy, but were beginning to be backed into a corner. After coming up with my plan, I decided to have the dragons block the sun. After they moved into position. Meanwhile, did I mention that me, Sylphie and leader dwarf (he keeps on mumbling during the entire journey over the fact that his beard was like, I don’t know? Too short for battle? Something like that.) But we were on Azaroth with the elites of the elite elves & dwarves. After I told the dragons to pass down the instructions, which would occur after I snapped my fingers, I, like a bomb, “fell” off of Azaroth after some young girl yelled “DRAGONS!” And in mid air I dived head first for speed. Was I crazy? Yes. Was I a maniac? Yes. Should I have gone to a mental rehab center? YES! Getting close to the ground, I flipped myself so my feet were down, and maneuvered myself in the air to the ideal landing area, smack between the beast-men and the humans.
BOOM! a crater about 50 by 50 meters appeared, being almost 9m deep! And I may have… caused it. At the split second the boom resounded, everyone’s eyes were locked on the crater, and when the dust settled, all were watching me, the maniac, walking out of the crater just patting dust off of me. At that precise moment, I felt a pretty powerful curse emanating from behind the human lines. Probably gonna have to check that ‘phenomenon’ later... but for now, it’s time for performing a quick little survey among this puny little human army. Now, for the first question.
*cough cough* “May I have your attention please!”
“You’re trying to talk to us?” -soldier
“Yes. I have a few questions to ask, and whoever replies honestly will live. Else you will face the most brutal and painful death ever to be seen.”
Once that sentence was finished, all soldiers began to shiver as I released my killing intent, and the carriage in the back began to run away. Probably because of the pressure I’m releasing… either way, let’s do this!
“Just give me a second now as there are some trying to run away. Also, by running away you die.”
Running to the carriage which was fleeing from the scene, I threw a physical barrier around it infused with around 1000 mana, and the horses proceeded to crash into the barrier, and the carriage tumbled to a stop. (Don’t know if that’s the correct use of tumbled). Then, a princess, a servant, a king with a queen, and the cursed girl came out.
She (cursed girl) looked to be around 2 years younger than meh current form, and then they began pounding on the barrier. They weren’t casting magic because if they did they would kill themselves. Reaching the edge of the barrier, I silently motioned for the cursed girl to slowly and inconspicuously come to me. She looked pretty happy when she saw me, maybe it’s because she wanted to die? Once she reached me, I opened a rift just big enough to let her come out and closed it.

First, I scanned her for any weapons, fortunately there were none, and then for signs of hostility. After that was done, she came closer to me, and just stood there waiting to see what she was going to do. But before that, [all-curse removal]! Just to set her free. Now that that was gone, she came close to my ear, as everyone, demons, monsters, humans, dragons plus a few other curious animals watching me. Then, she whispered:
“Hiiro!” -her
My eyes immediately turned shocked, widened etc…
“Who are you to know my previous name?!” I whispered very softly but angrily
“Well, you wouldn’t recognize me now as a girl, but it’s me Olek! But now I’m Lily” -Lily
“OMFG is that really you!?”
“Yes! And I can prove it!” -Lily
“How?”
“Your favorite type of manga were isekai with harems and ecchi situations!” - Lily
My face turned so red I looked like a tomato and she giggled so hard she fell. That’s when I extended my hand and helped her get up. Even the nobles and knights and even my troops were staring at me! Just pondering what the hell I was doing. After all, it was the demon queen helping a hero!
Meanwhile inside the physical barrier…
“I can’t feel my connection to my slave anymore!” - Princess (Angela)
“Um… why is everyone looking at us?” - King (Marcus)
In Hiiro’s head…
Pffft! I had also secretly added a sound amplifier to the barrier…
“So you’re saying that the hero, Lily as her name is, was enslaved by you?” - me
All at once, the soldiers gazes seemed to penetrate into the royalty, demanding some sort of explanation, looking for the truth, and seeking it like a homing missile tracking a mere human. But multiply the # of missiles by, let’s see…about 2000… no that's not it… about 5057 . Harsh reality? Ain’t it? Oh, forgot to tell you what kinda missiles those would’ve been… I’d say no less than ⅕ of the power of ‘fat man’.
(in case you don’t know what it is, it’s the second atomic bomb dropped on Japan. Don’t be offended it’s just a power comparison.)
“Lily? Would you like to share what happened?”
“Um… ok? I used to live in the slums, when a few guys tried to vent anger on me, and well, I apparently killed two rank B adventurers bare-handed, and once the royalty recurved news of that, they came telling me I was the hero, slowly advancing on me, and before I noticed, I had a slave mark, was bound to the gay princess, and had to live a life of torture. As you know, the slave stuff is a curse, but miss demon queen here *motions to Hiiro* removed it with what spell again?” - Lily
“I believe it was [all-curse removal]”
Some of the mages eyes (humans of course) instantly appeared astonished, while the warriors didn’t know why.
One mage: “but that’s the absolute spell for removing curses! It’s grade 7 magic!”
Magic here was divided into 7 grades:
* Grade 1 (beginner) everyone can do this
* Grade 2 (amateur)75% of people can do this
* Grade 3 (apprentice) only 50% can make it here
* Grade 4 (magus) most common level to remain stuck at. only 20% can do this
* Grade 5 (grand magus) about 100,000 out there on the planet (population of humans is only about 500 million)
* Grade 6 (master) about 2000 on the planet
* Grade 7 (Grandmaster) usually called absolute magic, only about 10 on the planet.
There are only 1 or 2 of this grade in each magic sub-category. (AKA: fire magic (category) -> “fireball”) .(subcategory compromising of spells that are/or are related to the name of the subcategory. EG-> grade 1 and/or 2 [fireball] -> grade 3 and/or 4 [ball of fire] -> grade 5 and/or 6 [sphere of flame] -> grade 7 (1 of 2) [meteor of fire] (2 of 2) [rain of flame] and that’s the (probably) complicated explanation.)
In the curse removal spell area, there is only one grade 7: [all-curse removal] which PERMANENTLY removes ALL curses.
I will later on add a link taking you to all the spells and such, but that’s for later…
Everyone, including warriors, knew what a grade 7 spell was, and once they heard that, they were astonished not just because of the level, but because it took a grade 7 spell to get rid of Lily’s curse! (Even though a grade 5 would have done the job. The princess’s curse was weak due to the barrier.) ENOUGH RAMBLING! Now, to torture- I MEAN question the soldiers.
“Now, do not mind that, and let’s begin the questioning! First question: how many of you are using a dwarven weapon?”
About 200 raised their hands. There were about three that didn’t answer truthfully, so I teleported them to me.
“You three, let me inspect your weapons. One dwarf! Come here!”
As the dwarf arrived, as the soldiers out of fear let him pass, the three soldiers were trembling, each in the position of handing their weapons over. As the dwarf inspected, he finally said: “all three of these weapons are true dwarven weapons!”
As soon as that was said, one of the soldiers tried slashing at the dwarf, but by catching the blade in midair and twisting my fingers, i broke it. So that probably came from sword mastery i suppose… but…
“HOW DARE YOU ATTACK MY FAMILY!!!”
