In a dark place where it seems that no voice could ever reach and where enourmous amount of corps of 4 to 10 years old kid was present, the figure of a woman— no of a demon could be seen drawing something in the earth.

She could be said to be a beauty that could melt you from just a glance of her red eyes and with her wonderfully developped breast and her scarlet like hair it wouldn't be an exageration to say that no one could resist her.

Despite that, no human would ever approach. And that is because of the pair of disgusting horn placed in her forehead.

“Fufufufufu. With this everything is complete”

The drawing, clearly done from the blood of the corps, was a large magic circle.

In the middle of it the figure of a young beautifull girl with golden hair attached thouroughly with black chain could be seen.

“Well then, it's time to wake up—— Iris Arcadia”

Saying that, Iris slowly open her eyes.

“....Where is this place?”

“This is my personal base”

Hearing the voice she slowly turn toward the demon and became stiff upon encountering it.

“YOU!!!! What did you do to me! Where is Yuuto!!?”

“Don't be so agitated. Your teacher is a guide right? He surely would be able to defeat the monster I sent to him. But, unfortunately he couldn't protect you in the meantime. Right about now, he should be desperately searchingfor you.”

With a smile in her face, she said saidthat as if showing Iris that no one is gonna save her

“Putting that aside, you should begin saying your last word.”

“——!!! You're going to kill me ?”

“That's obvious. I need you to call one of the four heavenly king”

“W-what? Is that even possible?”

“Yes.

You do know that the demon king is recovering from his battle against the 6 royal family from 1000 years ago, right?

Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.

But I'm sure that you don't know that there is a way to accelerate it and that is the blood of royal family.

Well even if I say that, I can't do that with just one of them. Moreover, I think it's a bad move to resurrect him while the 6 guide is still in this world because he would be caught and killed right away.

That's why I need one of the four heavenly king to get rid of them one by one.

And unfortunately for you, Kagami Yuuto is the first one we'll take out.”

“Do you really think you would be able to win against him”

“I did take precaution, you know. If I recall, you should have been with him for more than one month right?

Personally I don't think that that is really that important but for you human that's different, because for you even the death of a mere pet would make you cry so let alone one of your acquaintance.

Moreover, we talk about a 'guide' here, the one that is reverred for being extremely kind from the legend.

That's why when he see that you're dead he'll be extremely sad or extremely angry. Either way, fighting with us while in these state would be a huge handicap for him.”

Hearing these words from the demon, Iris began to struggle to find a way to free herself.

(I can't use «imperium». Moreover I feel considerably tired. But that doesn't matter right now because I have to find a way to get out)

But she soon regretted because she caught a glimpse of a mountain of corpse.

(W—what's that!!??)

As if reading her mind the demon respound her question.

“That's the sacrifice I needed to perform this ritual”

“...sacrifice...?”

“Well you know, even if with you alone I can summon one of the heavenly commander I can't afford that because I need you for the resurrection if the demon king.

The most I can use is just a little of your blood so I needed some substitute. Luckily, brainwashing is my forte.”

“You......monster”

“Here again, that's obvious. By the way, that doesn't mean that I won't kill you, just that I'll need to care of your corps very carefully after. That's the least I can do for our king after all”

While saying that the demon began to move toward Iris with a sword in her hand.

“Well then did you make your prayer?”

She began to point the tip of her sword toward where Iris's heart were placed.

(Am I....going to die here ?)

When Iris arcadia was born she was entrusted with the fate of killing the demon king.

Therefore, she never had a normal life.

Since she couldn't control the mana of this world, she was instructed all of the art of fighting like swordmanship, martial arts, etc.

But, that's not such an easy task, the proof of that is that in the 6 royal familie she was the only one that mastered all of them.

Seeing that, many magician thought that she was god's chosen one and decided to search of a way to give her more power leading to them experimenting magic on Iris Arcadia.

That's how she evolved into a «superior human».

“Goodbye, Iris Arcadia”

Saying that with a smile she thrust the sword to kill her but—

the sword stopped before hitting her.

“—!!””

With a dumbfounded face the demon put more power into the sword but it didn't budge.

“W—what?”

“I'm... not gonna die here”

Soon after a gigantic noise was heard and the room was filled with dust.

“cough....cough.... I don't what you were trying to do but in the end you still died”

When the dust cleared away, the sword has already pierced Iris's heart.

“With that, I can begin the summon—!”

Before she ended her phrase she noticed that sunlight was entering her base.

(W—what? We are underground there shoudn't be sunlight here)

Surprised by that, she glanced abover her but what she see there was an enourmous hole that let her the sky completely.

“...No way. Doesn't the chain attached to her supposed to suppress her power. How are she able to do that?”

“Even I am surprised about this”

Hearing that, she immediately glanced at where the voice was coming.

Sure enough what she saw there was none other than Kagami Yuuto
