Chapter 02 : THE AVENGER

******

There, that boy (or rather, girl) opened her eyes. The sky not looked any different than before, meant that all this commotion before was not a dream. Personally, she thought that this kind of world was not all that bad, until the tragedy that fell over her sister.

When Kuroki Saito regained consciousness after the shock of losing her dear sister, Sayaka, somehow she ended in another unknown place.

Her surrounding colored in dark red and blood-like smell. In front of her eyes, a human-shaped corpse has been cut into pieces. From behind she heard some human voice ran away in panic.

She turned her head around and saw two people ran away from behind her. They looked like some kind of normal servant you could find anywhere. Of course, with her speed, Kuroki Saito was able to catch them in no time. They saw her like the saw an unknown monster.

“Speak! What did you saw back then! Considering your answer I may spare your life.”  That boy (or girl) threatens them with her blade on his throat. She had her question carefully chosen; of course they would be suspicious if she asked about what happened that time. That’s why she asked them that way.

“O–Of course we didn’t see anything. We just got bad luck and attacked by a beast. Let’s leave it at that and spare our life. Yes?”

––Ahh… I didn’t see this coming. Of course they would think I threatened them to close their mouth of the case. But that’s okay. If what happened was just exactly as I though, I had another plan out of my sleeve.

Kuroki Saito coldly cut his body.

––It might be just my feeling, but the blade seems sharper than before. It’s like the blade just matched its function for me.

“Hii–––“, screamed the other man while looking at his former friend as he was being cut.

“You know what? There is one thing this genius me hate the most.” she pointed her blade at the other man’s neck with one fast swing so that the blood in my blade got off of it. Some of the bloods reach his face, made him quickly backed off. “It is a liar. Should you not tell the truth and spread it over the continent, you will end up the same. Now, speak!”

“Ye–Yes! When we transport Lord Adlaine back into the castle, suddenly a slashes rivaling the speed of light destroyed and explode the cargo and you appeared out of nowhere. Then, you killed all twelve Royal Guardian in an instant with many different magic, and made them disappear. Lastly, you kicked and kicked Lord Adlaine who already lost both of his legs from the explosion. Then with another kind of magic power tore him into pieces. That’s all I know! I swear!”

––Well, looked like that’s really him. That trash that killed my sister was already dead. But what about all that magic that he said I use? It might be some unknown hidden ability from this black sword. Fine, then. I will look after this weapon’s ability later. Now––

“Very well. I saw truth in your words. Now you shall depart and spread the words of mine.”

––Now that this trash had been dealt with, my mission will be to avenge to this unfair world. I would spread chaos unto this world. This will be interesting. A smile shaped in my lips, even though my mind still clouded in the darkness and confused.

“This genius and great me, by myself, now declared war upon this land–– no, this world for one-sidedly sent me here. For me, who wielded the rarest and the only 11 stars hero weapon, no matter how strong you are, I will keep overpowered them.”

–– I hope that’s enough for a declaration of war––

Suddenly a heavy creaking sound can be heard, a sound of a huge door opened.

It’s like Kuroki Saito’s view suddenly becomes wider, now she can saw her surrounding clearly. She was standing in a stone path in a place that looked like a garden. In her right and left there were definitely grasses and flowers. In behind, there were destroyed stone blocks; it might be me who destroyed it, she thought. In front, there was a huge castle building. And after the opened door, she saw a little blonde girl with a strange looking green eyes in a beautiful dress and another blonde girl with a maid outfit with glasses beside her. Their age might be around Sayaka’s.

The boy’s mind become clearer. After some thought, Kuroki Saito made a conclusion. This place must be the so-called Rukh Kingdom that made alliances with the entire small kingdoms, and somehow she made it inside. Then, the girl in that dress must be the princess of this Kingdom.

“Don’t come any closer, Princess Rilleine!” shout the servant in front of the door.

So her name is Rilleine, Saito thought. Then she thought again, killing the Princess might be a good declaration of war.

With smile covered her face, Kuroki Saito dashed into the Princess. Just as she got ready to slash her sword, her body got thrown back. Surprised, she quickly got up and saw the previous maid stood up in front to protect the Princess equipped with a giant battle-axe.

“I don’t know what your aim is, but I will never let you touch the Princess! As the summoned hero of Rukh Kingdom, this Super Battle Maid will never let you do as you please in this territory. Now, will you peacefully go away from this country or not?”

As Kuroki Saito was thought there was something strange with this maid’s mind, she could hear the Princess laugh heartily behind, even in this kind of situation. No, maybe because it’s this kind of situation that it’s looked stupid.

“Ahahahahaha! What’s with that introduction? You really call yourself Super Battle Maid? I was just kidding, you know…”

“Whaa–– B-But, you said I have to do it like this, or else you will get rid of me!”, that previously cool-looked maid became flustered. “A–Anyway, there is enemy in front of us. We must not get distracted right now!”. From behind Kuroki Saito could hear the Princess with small voice said “But you are the one make me distracted, you know.”

“Please be careful, Hero-dono! She was also a summoned hero who possessed some unknown skill and 11 stars weapon. She even killed His majesty Lord Adlaine and the Royal Guards easily.” The servant ran immediately into the corner and give warning to the Super Battle Maid.

“What! You said His Majesty was already––“

“No way–– Papa was….” The shocked Princess finally looked into the corpses with a pale face.

––From here on, I would play an important role of a super villain. I have to quickly discover my hidden ability from before if I want to survive this battle maid. One wrong move and I would be dead.

“The truth is, I had a little––“

“Shut up! You must be an assassin from another Kingdom sent to dismiss our Kingdom’s alliance, right? Now that you have done it, you must know the consequences, don’t you?” the Super Battle Maid’s sudden interrupt.

Even after countless times thought about a way out of this, Kuroki Saito still unable to find anything useful. No matter how many times that self-proclaimed boy (or girl) find a way, she had to learn her own mysterious power first.

But her confusion soon came to an end. Lady Luck have even descended in a shape of a princess.

“Diana, please just deal with this quickly. I want to get papa.”

“Yes, Princess! That said, since she had an 11 stars weapon, I must be careful. My 6 stars weapon might not be useful here.”

“I have never heard of 11 stars weapon. She might just made it out. I’ll check her power.”

After that, the princess chant something while pointed her palm onto Saito from behind Diana (the Super Battle Maid). A white light covered her body for several seconds. Right after the light dissipated, the princess fell to the stone floor. The servant quickly catch her body and laid her body sitting in the stone floor. Cold sweat covered the Princess’ face.

“I––Impossible! I have never saw a status like that! That’s almost cheating!”

––Eeehh??! Whaat? Am I really that strong?––––

Then with composed face, the boy told the princess, “What about you tell those the greatness of me, for the sole survivor of this battle shall spread words of the great me into the world. That’s if you are still alive, of course.”

Both the servant and Diana faced the Princess that was still sit down. The princess made a difficult face.

“That was… A real 11 star weapon, and top of that, had the power of a rare Magic–– The power to grant any wish––“

“”Whatt!!?––“” Kuroki Saito and Diana roared at the same time. It was seen by the princess that then made a questioning face.

“??? Why are you so surprised?”

“N––No, I, I just–– surprised there are powers to detecting heroes’ weapon power even though this should be a hidden powers. Your magic must be of a high level.”

“Hmph! Of course! This much is an easy feat to this perfect and beautiful Princess Rilleine! I–– Princess Rilleine was the owner of the highest level of Scan Magic in the whole continent, you know! If I had the time, I can even tell the detailed information of any weapon, you know! Though, this is not the time for such a thing.” The Princess seemed to boast about her power. It reminds Saito of her own self as the great and perfect Kuroki Saito.

“Hooh–– If you have such a useful powers with you, I won’t mind take you with me. Be grateful that I won’t have to take your life. Now, either you will give yourself to me or I will take you by force!”

“D–Do you know who you’re taking to, you shameless bastard! You were talking to the one and only Royal Princess of Rukh Kingdom––“

“…I knew and that’s why I declared that. Seriously, are you an idiot?”

“Whaa!? Who did you called idiot, you idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! I––”

“––Just stop it already, Diana…” Finally the Princess break in the conversation. Then she faced Saito and said calmly, “I don’t know who you are and what are you trying to accomplish, but I will never tolerate any terrorism that happen right before my eyes. I may be a Princess, but I’m not a weak princess that could not do anything without her knight in the shining armor.”

“Heeh–– That’s sounds promising, coming from such a princess.”

––Now that I get a glimpse of my power, I can use my imaginations for the rest, take the Princess, and get the full detail of my hidden power. For now, I will kill that self-proclaimed battle maid and declare the war upon the world. ––

“Very well, since I have limited time myself. I will excuse myself together with the Princess. Come!”

Just after the word ‘come’ said, the Princess found herself stand beside Saito. All the spectators could not hide their shocked faces, including Saito herself. Of course, it just took a blink of an eye to move a people 100 meters even without the people said to realize herself moved.

––Whaaaattt!!!! What kind of cheating skill I had!!! Basically, I just need to wish for something for that to happen instantly–––––––––

––I can do this! With this kind of cheat, I will be able to easily avenge Sayaka! Maybe I can even revive her or something like that. Now I have to test this power once more, and in front of me there were lab rats for a target of my powers. –––

“And for the self-proclaimed battle maid over there–––”

Saito pointed her blade unto Diana. Diana showed a panicked face.

“Wa–Wait!”

Saito showed no hesitation while said easily, “––Cut yourself into pieces.”

“N––Noo!!!” Diana said while cut off her left hand’s fingers one by one with a dagger she took from her waist. Bloods spurted from the cut fingers. “Please–– Stop this–– It hurts a lot––“, Diana cried while use the Axe to cut both her feet and she fell to the stone floor that were already made into a pool of blood.

The man (servant) stepped back a lot from his initial position and tried his best not to puke with a pale face.

“It–– h–urts––“

The Princess already fell to her bottom and covered her face with her hands and sobbing uncontrollably. “No–– Please tell me this is just a dream–– This can’t be true, right––“

“S––toph––“

“Too bad! This is reality–– Don’t worry, I will make use of you before treat you far more cruel than this. You have to feel the same way I feel. And this was all because of your damned father.”

 “Uu–––––u”

Diana already cut off her left hands, both her legs, her stomach and both her breasts. Her intestines fell apart after being cut.

“P––Plea–se––“

While deep down Saito felt disgusting with the scene laid before her eyes, she also felt a little happy.

Then Diana cut her neck.

Her face showed a face full of horror and tears.

Diana stopped moving.

She was dead.

*****

While the other two were astonished by the view, Kuroki Saito thought deeply about her next move. S/He would definitely took the princess, but s/he did not thought about other thing to do.

Saito thought that after this Rukh Kingdom would be in a chaos, because of the loss of king and a princess, but this chaos would be used as the opening from the other kingdoms to starts an invasion and war. That cockroach King who was the king of Azarikh was definitely powerful and they have Nana and William under custody. There might be a better chance if Saito goes into the last huge Kingdom left, but for that, Saito need the Princess to show the way.

“Then this Princess would be my sole source of information for now.”

When Saito heard some loud footsteps around, she realized that the kingdom’s guards that’s easily surpassed 100 people had already surround them. From the looks of some of the guards, they must saw the moment the Battle Maid cut herself.

Kuroki Saito steadily approached the princess who’s still sat on the floor, then forcibly brought her under her arm. Then loudly declared to all of the spectators,

“Here I declared upon all of you for you were to spread my words unto the whole continent! I will now took away this Princess whoever-her-name as my hostage, until I satisfied in taking revenge upon this world which took everything away from my life. You all could just refer me as the demon lord who wished to spread chaos.”

One of the guard timidly raised his hand and speak slowly, “But, there was already Demon Lord Balalala who conquered the north part of the continent…” but then got punched by the other guard said “It’s not the time for that!”

––Eeehh!!! I thought that cockroach King said that there were no dangerous existence in this world? Damn it! Now my threatening speech only sounded just like a nonsense. And what the heck with that naming sense? Isn’t that just made him looks like a joke? ––

Kuroki Saito thought for a moment until said (with flat face),

“Then I will just simply take out that demon lord and make him my underling!”

The guards’ eyes become a dots after they heard that one sentence.

“Now I will take my leave with the Princess! I ordered you all to spread my name over the continent! My name–––“

Kuroki Saito suddenly stopped and closed her eyes.

––Sayaka, please forgive this genius brother of yours, for I will use your name so that no one will ever forget your name–––

“––I’m the new titled Demon Lord of this continent, SAYAKA! Come and stop me if you can!”

Kuroki Saito–– or now called SAYAKA, forcefully pull the Princess and fly away.

“Wa––Waitt!!” the Princess screamed and keep trying to run away.

The guards only able to stood still and did the new proclaimed demon lord’s order to spread her name due to her power.

And here now the beginning of the story of Kuroki Saito, or now named SAYAKA as the new demon lord who tried to avenge her little sister who was killed in this world, together with the kidnapped Princess Rilleine.
