Volume 3 - Chapter 5: The Descent of the Demon King
The sleeping army, also known as the Demon King's personal vanguard. The army is considered as Asmodan's first creation and they are incredibly powerful. Each member is several times stronger than any demon and only the true Demon King can command such a high-powered force. Those that aren't worthy enough to command the army are usually harmed after attempting to reawaken the sleeping army. The vanguard is the Demon King's own personal army and they can easily destroy a kingdom with their might.
Within the army, there are 7 generals that create majority of the power within the army. The 1st general is said to be a giant that wields darkness axes that can easily cut mountains. The 2nd general is said to be a powerful songstress that can confuse entire legions with her voice. The 3rd general reigns supreme in the water. His ability allows him to shift through the water particles in the air, making him the greatest covert spy. The 4th general commands a force of undead creatures. Her ability to call forth the dead is regarded as an ancient talent that can easily topple kingdoms. The 5th general commands the forces of nature within his body. He has full control over any element and is regarded as the 2nd strongest general out of the 7. The 6th general wields a gigantic sword made of black magic. The sword is said to destroy souls with a single wave of the blade. The 7th general is unknown. He is the strongest general that can easily kill the rest of the generals but no one knows who the general is. It's as if he never existed. The 7th general is known as the deadliest assassin.
The area where this army is sleeping is deep beneath the Maran capital. The fake Demon King took precautionary actions to guard that specific area because of the power one might have if they awakened the army.
…
Souma finally began his search for Ojii-chan's friend, the Demon enchantress.
As it was night time, majority of the humans were sleeping in their respected homes while the demons were still wide awake. Luckily for the humans, the Shidan had some control of the eastern district which would be a bit safe for the humans but regardless of where they are, there are demons that are quite sneaky.
Souma walked down the street which was in between buildings that somewhat separated the humans and demons. On the left side the humans were in their respected homes/inns while the demons were located on the right side of the street. Also, the eastern district has a total of 3 streets and the street Souma was walking on is located directly in the middle of the eastern district.
As he continued to walk, the demons were still making snide comments about his earlier escapade as he was surrounded by those three women. Souma went up to one of the demons that was sitting nearby, chewing on a straw and he was about to ask but the demon simply glared at him. Souma was about to leave but then he might as well ask...
“Sir...is there by any chance you know a demon that goes by the name of the Demon Enchantress?” Souma politely asked the demon while ignoring his arrogant glare.
The demon scoffed and looked at Souma...
“Pfft...humans...why are you looking for that old hag...and why the hell are you here human!? I ought to kill you right now!” The demon was glaring at Souma and repeatedly chewing on his straw.
“Wait what...why do you want to kill me...I did nothing wrong...did I do something?” Souma knew why the demon hated him. It was because a human became their demon king and forced upon new rules in the Maran kingdom, but Souma had to make sure...
“REALLY!!! YOU HAVE THE BALLS TO ASK ME WHAT YOU DID!! YOU ARROGANT HUMAN!!! GRRRR Don't you remember what you just did a few moments ago! You were showing off your women! Gah! Get away from me! You are lucky the Shidan is here, I ought to kill you now but I don't want to die!!” The demon spat at Souma and immediately stood up and was about to leave until..
“Oh...ohh!!! Hey wait! I didn't do it on purpose!! They were just guiding me!! I AM NEW HERE!! I DID NOTHING!!” Souma was literally arguing with a demon that wanted to kill him.
“LIES!! THEN WHY DID THEY LOOK AT YOU SO INTIMATELY!!!” The demon yelled back at Souma in retort.
“I DON'T KNOW! GO ASK THEM!!! I JUST GOT HERE AND THEY HELPED ME!” Souma was yelling on the same volume as the demon guy.
“BLAH BLAH!! IT'S ALL LIES!!! Whatever! I am going to help you this once...I can feel the shidan coming near us...I don't want to get in trouble so I'll help you for now...” The demon lowered his tone as soon as he heard the shidan arriving.
Then they came, the shidan came in a group of 5 armored personnel. The group was heavily armed because Voltros is quite a dangerous city since majority of it consists of demons even though the shidan is majority comprised of demons. The leader stood in the front, wearing a different armor than the rest. It was embroidered with different designs and the leader held a giant polearm with a feathery lace at the blade section. The polearm was quite big and the leader lifted the polearm with ease as he walked in front of Souma and the demon.
“Hmm..I heard a ruckus between a human and a demon...is there anything that is troubling you, honored guest?” The leader spoke with a polite tone and glared at the demon who continued to sit down and ignore Souma and the leader talking.
“Ahhh...well...” Souma looked at the demon and felt kind of bad for his situation..
Situation being was that their Capital was suddenly taken over by a human that had stronger powers than any of the demons because the demon race had lost majority of their abilities after the banishment of Asmodan. Souma didn't like useless bloodshed and the demon guy wasn't so bad...all he was angry about was that misunderstanding between Souma and the three girls.
“Well...Nothing really happened...we're just arguing about pointless stuff and we're good ol' pals!” Souma grabbed the demon's hand and shook his hand vigorously to prove their friendship.
The demon guy was confused and literally upset. He whispered to Souma...
“what the hell...I am not a friend of a lousy human womanizer...”
…
“just play with it...you damn angry coot...or do you want to get executed...”
…
“Fine...but I am gonna punch you after this...”
…
“just try it as long as I get to fight back...”
Souma tightened his grip and almost crushed the poor demon's hand. The demon was tearing up from the pain and had a painful smiling expression to prove their friendship...
The leader looked at Souma and the demon...
“Hmmm...okay you two friends...keep it down...I don't want to be summoned for a mere friendship quarrel...play it safe now you two...and you demon...better be careful next time...he's a human and you should be more polite even if he's your friend...” The leader immediately dismissed the four other men and quickly returned to their posts.
Souma was still gripping hard without crushing the demon's hand and when the Shidan finally left, Souma released his grip...
“FUCKING HELL!!! What are you!! Damn human...so fucking strong...sheesh...almost broke my hand that I use every nig--- wait nothing...” The demon was trying to hide his embarrassment and Souma finally caught on to what he meant...
“OH GOD!! HOW COULD YOU!!! YOU ARE DISGUSTING!!! WHY DID YOU LET ME HOLD THAT HAND!!!” Souma was angry at the demon.
“WELL I DIDN'T HAVE A FUCKING CHOICE SINCE YOU GRABBED MY HAND!!!” The demon yelled in retort.
“Yuck! GOD DAMMIT! This is disgusting!”
Souma used his left hand which didn't come into contact with the demon and began to manipulate water and create a miniature water flow that came out of his hand. On Souma's palm there was a magical seal that poured the water and Souma began to wash his sullied hand.
“Man...you are disgusting..don't you have some demon woman to do it with...god..” Souma was still worried about his hand so he generated a even bigger magic seal and poured a huge valve of water in mid-air towards his hand. The water created a giant stream that flowed down the street and it was about time since the street was ridiculously dirty from all the garbage on the floor.
“Well, it's natural! Aren't you a human male, this is natural for you too!” The demon was eyeing the huge amount of water that Souma produced and he was completely astonished.
The demons watched Souma create a giant volley of water just to wash one hand. They finally figured that Souma wasn't a normal human so they'd rather not mess with Souma head on...
“You are right...I just never thought about it because I've been so busy...I mean there have been some cases where I went out of control and almost did something irreversible but that doesn't excuse you from doing it every single night!” Souma finally stopped his water magic and his right hand was completely drenched in water including the entire street...
“Well...I don't have women like you do...us demons cannot go after human females and most of the demon girls are taken or really evil or just really hard to get...” The demon guy was looking glum and Souma whisked his right hand around to dry his hand and finally looked at the demon...
“I'm sorry man...Hey you know what, if I find a demon girl that is single and isn't crazy, I'll tell her to meet you...you seem like a nice guy even though you were glaring at me like a mad man...” Souma was apologetic for his earlier actions with the girls.
“Thanks...for a human...you aren't so bad yourself...you are strong but unlike that snobby human that is in the palace, you don't abuse your powers...Thanks for not killing me when I know you could've done so easily...your magic and strength is overwhelming...so that explains why you don't need guards...” The demon was really thankful towards Souma and everything finally clicked in for him.
“Well yeah...I don't like to show off...I prefer to be discreet and unknown...but somehow people always find me...like those three girls...well they helped me so I cannot talk bad about them.” Souma placed his hands behind his head as if they were pillows and walked around in circles while talking.
“Oh, I just noticed...you were being helped by those three. What for?” The demon wanted to know the reason for Souma's appearance in Voltros.
“Oh, I wanted to come to the eastern district to look for the demon enchantress. Like I was asking earlier, I wanted to find her because someone told me that she can help me.” Souma answered his question without revealing Ojii-chan.
“Mhm...well she's my grandmother...she lives right here...don't tell her I called her an old hag...she might kill me...she's one of the few that can literally kill me...including you.” The demon guy revealed his relation with the Demon enchantress and Souma was delighted to know that she was nearby.
“Dude...thanks man. Hey you know about that whole situation that happened with the Shidan...want to be friends anyways?” Souma needed someone that he could talk to besides women and Ojii-chan.
“Pffffft, me friends with a human. You've got to be kidding me!” The demon scoffed at Souma but the reason was because of the other demons staring at them.
The demon then whispered to Souma...
“Alright...but be careful...the other demons aren't so kind...I'm just still a bit angry that you got three girls to fall for you when you just met them...”
…
“I got it...just worry about yourself...you might be picked on for being friends with a human...and please don't talk about that...I even got a damn title for this type of thing...oh man...”
…
“Oh dude! You have to show me that title!”
…
“Shut up about it!”
The demon finally led Souma into his house where the Demon enchantress's family resided in.
As Souma entered, Ojii-chan was talking to Souma...
Ojii-chan: Souma, be prepared. My friend needs to verify a few things and you might have to undo your ward so she can see your demonic form.
Souma: Wouldn't my demonic energy notify every single demon in the damn city!? Are you crazy Ojii?...
Ojii-chan: Listen...why do you think she's an enchantress, she can repress your energy....hopefully...but she needs to verify if you are the one.
Souma: What do you mean by “the one”?
Ojii-chan: You'll see. But just wait till she creates her barrier, then you can undo your seal.
Souma: Alright...I trust you Ojii...but I'm going to make sure I don't unleash everything..
Ojii-chan: Yeah, just release a bit at a time, so she can verify your demonic aura and she can also help you on taking over this kingdom.
Souma: Ojii...when I take over this kingdom...does it mean I have to fight that new demon king that is a human...Mirao right?
Ojii-chan: Yes...when you fight him...I'll be instructing you because it will be a lesson that you will have to learn sooner or later.
Souma: What lesson?
Ojii-chan: You'll see once you fight him.
…
The house that they entered was just a normal house except for the equipment inside. There were all sorts of mechanisms and there were three adults in the house. A demon male that seemed around the age of 40 was sitting beside a female demon that had features of a nice tender demon lady around the age of 35. They stared at Souma for a bit and then the third adult waved them to stop and she looked at Souma.
The third adult was an elderly woman yet she had noble features. Her eyes shined through the many years she's experienced and she was eyeing Souma's entire body as if she were looking into his soul. This woman was old but she was quite active. She immediately walked in front of Souma and began to talk..
“So...you're that brat's descendant ehh...” The woman spoke abruptly at Souma and he nodded politely.
He knew to pay respects to his elder and he immediately bowed and introduced himself...
“Yes, I am Souma Kurogane-- Ryuu's great great grandson. I was told to meet you...and he's with me too..” Souma introduced himself and told the elder enchantress.
“I know he's with you...I sense his presence within you...and he is yelling at me right now for calling him a brat...but he really was...did you know the first thing he did when he came to the demon realm...He nearly destroyed the capital with his powers...Asmodan was summoned and he almost got banished from this realm...good thing Kami-sama and Asmodan were on good terms...” The demon enchantress was talking and Souma agreed that he expected something of this caliber to happen with his great great grandfather.
While the two were talking, the demon guy was mumbling to himself in the corner...
“wait...Kurogane...kurogane...Wait!! THE KUROGANE...He's a descendant of that monster...when I was little...momma and poppa would tell stories about a man that had the name of Kurogane and he was more frightening than any person. His powers literally destroyed the planetary belt, he created a vortex that destroys anything...he nearly destroyed the demon realm...and his great great grandson is here...I am so glad I am friends with him...rather than enemies...OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! NO WONDER HE'S SO FUCKING STRONG!!” He was going out of control and he nearly tripped on the ground.
The two adults that sat next to each other saw Souma but then they didn't mind him. It was probably because of the Demon enchantress and she probably told them the whole story.
Before the demon guy was about to leave to his bedroom, the demon enchantress halted her conversation with Souma and spoke to him...
“Se'thran...did you introduce yourself to Souma...I know you just met each other but he doesn't even know your name...before you leave to your room...introduce yourself...” The demon enchantress was glaring at the demon guy but luckily Souma didn't see her facial expression.
Se'thran immediately went beside the demon enchantress and introduced himself...
“Hi Souma—friend, my name is Se'thran. and....it was very nice....to meet you!” His tone immediately changed after knowing who Souma was and he was very nervous somewhat...
Souma was about to shake hands but then he remembered the ordeal that happened outside and just leaned forward and spoke a few words...
“Don't mind who I am...we're friends alright so you shouldn't treat me any different than the way you did earlier.” Souma nodded and Se'thran was about to shake hands but then even he remembered what happened outside and decided not to.
“Alright...Se'thran go do what you were going to do...now Souma...my name is Et'rie...the term demon enchantress was from a long time ago...nowadays I doubt anybody even remembers what I did to protect this city from your great great grandfather...now..Ryuu told me that I need to verify your demonic aura...because from what he told me...you have undergone a few changes just recently right?” Et'rie spoke to Souma and he nodded in agreement.
“Yeah...the changes occurred when I almost died and also when I arrived in the demon realm. I was also sent here by Kami-sama...because this capital was recently taking over by a new demon king...” Souma added the end because Et'rie is also going to help Souma on taking over the Maran Kingdom.
“Yes, yes...now I cannot help you directly but I will guide you to the person that will...but before we get to that...I need to check the changes that you've undergone. Let's go to the other room.”
“Se'thran get down here so you can see something good for once instead of that disgusting magazine!” Et'rie was calling for Se'thran and he rushed down the stairs.
Souma just swayed his head left and right because of what Et'rie meant about the magazines...
Se'thran, Et'rie and Souma headed to the other room while Se'thran's parents stayed in the living room.
“Alright...I am going to cast a barrier in this room to prevent your energy from leaking out...also I can sense something in you Souma...something that is going to shock Se'thran...”
Et'rie the demon enchantress closed the door and began to chant a few words while she closed her eyes.
“Nam da et ruth cendra litu thran gothro dezan!” Et'rie's voice rose and runic scriptures appeared all over the entire room. The room was lit with blue symbols and letters that Souma didn't recognize and the demon enchantress was continuing her chant.
Souma and Se'thran just stared at the walls that lit up and Se'thran spoke...
“You know...since I was born, I've never seen grandma use her powers...this is so awesome! I wonder if I can learn this!” Se'thran was eyeing the entire room as the symbols covered every corner.
“Yeah...this seems like a useful ability...I'd like to learn it too...well I can but I don't want to do it now...I have to focus on this task first...”
Et'rie finally completed her barrier enchant and finally turned around and spoke to the two...
“Phew...it's been 157 years since I've done a barrier that strong...now you should be able to release that seal Souma...” Et'rie was tired out because of her old age and it's been quite some time since she's done a spell of that caliber.
“Alright...here goes...”
Before Souma released his energy, he was talking to Ojii-chan...
Souma: Ojii...are you sure this is alright?
Ojii-chan: Yeah, we're just going to check if that demonic form is true or not...and we can trust her...
Souma: alright...I hope you aren't wrong about this Ojii...what if something happens...
Ojii-chan: Trust me boy...I have confidence in her ability...she protected the Maran Capital from my attack...although I only used about 40% but it was strong enough to wipe an entire kingdom...now just do it.
Souma: Alright then...
…
Souma released the ward seal and his demonic form appeared. His hair turned completely white and his skin was completely white too. Red lines began to formulate around Souma's skin and around his face were dark red vein-like sigils but that wasn't everything. Souma's demonic form was changing more. The dark miasma had begun to envelop around his body and produced the demonic wings on his back. Souma wasn't even done yet. His hair grew extremely long and his eyes had a piercing red glow and his horns were already developed. But then...
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
The dark miasma began to multiply and completely surrounded Souma in a darkness sphere. His demonic armor began to take form. The metallic armor was forming from the miasma and his body grew extremely huge. His muscles were growing more distinctive and his fangs grew longer. As the dark sphere dissipated, Souma had completely donned the demonic armor. Se'thran was gasping in shock.
Souma was the descendant of the Kurogane family and also of royal blood...Se'thran was immediately about to bow down but then...
Magical seals began to appear all over Souma's body and they glowed extremely red.
Et'rie was struggling to keep the barrier active as Souma's demonic energy was overwhelming her strongest barrier.
The red seals that appeared in mid-air began to rotate around Souma's body and then Souma's appearance began to change once more. The armor immediately came off Souma's body and landed on the floor with a loud thud. Souma's body began to levitate and then he lost consciousness. His body was undergoing a drastic change and that is when Et'rie knew that Souma was the True demon king. A large pillar of darkness enwrapped Souma's body and engulfed the entire room. The demon energy was too much for Et'rie and immediately dispelled her barrier. The entire house was completely covered by the pillar of darkness.
All over the city, the demons were reacting to Souma's demonic energy. Even across the other cities, demons all over were immediately bowing in the direction of Souma's dark pillar. It is signifying the descent of the True Demon king.
Deep beneath the Maran Capital, there spoke several voices...
6th: He has arrived.
…
5th: Our leader is here.
…
4th: Finally...our master is here...
…
3rd: I wonder what our leader is like..
…
2nd: I hope he's handsome...
…
1st: The king is finally here...
…
7th: ......
At the demon palace, the (fake)Demon King was staring through his window towards the direction of the pillar of darkness...
“What...what is that...! Send the Shidan! I want answers right now!” The (fake)Demon King commanded his advisor to send the Shidan to Voltros city.
Even as far to the Village settlement, Youko and her pack were howling into the night sky. They were also demonic wolves and they sensed the arrival of the Demon King and Youko was howling extra louder into the night sky because she sensed Souma's presence within the Demon King's energy.
The village was wondering what was going on and Tamago was shaking violently in response to the energy in the air. The treants/nature beings were cautious because of the mysterious energy that fluxed between the air.
Even at the Orphis Academy, the sentry guards were reacting to the Demon King's energy because it is similar to the Kurogane power.
The demonic creatures from all over the entire planet of Oryon were now reacting to Souma's energy and the descent of the Demon King.
Se'thran was consumed by the darkness and Et'rie followed. The parents of Se'thran were consumed along with the darkness and finally the pillar was beginning to disappear. Souma's energy was still in overabundance but the pillar that came with Souma was beginning to disappear. The demons were causing riots and back at the inn, the girls were worried about Souma. They were still waiting at the lobby for Souma to return to them...
The darkness had finally disappeared and there was a new entity in the room. A tall being, around the height of 6'3” was standing in the center of the room. His clothes were quite different but they had a certain regal feeling to them. The upper half was a shirt/robe-like attire was black and his bottom half was long pants that were black and both have ancient textures all over the edges. The being's skin was a bit tanned yet light but there were black lines embedded onto his skin. On his right and left hand were a set of 4 rings, two on each hand, placed in the index and middle finger of both. The rings glowed and a mysterious miasma flicked a few times at the gems that were on the rings. On the rings, the gems were separated into 4 colors; Red, White, Black and Purple. White and black were placed on the left hand while Red and Purple rested on the right. The katanas that Souma had were still equipped to the side but his leather outfit was gone. The new being had pure black hair. His hair was long and it extended further than his original hair length. On his forehead were two horns but they were longer than usual and they had mystical lines etched onto them. His facial features were full of regality and his eyes were completely black but in the pupil of his eyes, there was a segment of dark red. The being had a sharp fang that appeared on the edge of his lips and he was smiling...
A few windows pinged and a cautionary window appeared in front of the being. The new being dismissed the windows and looked around.
Et'rie was exhausted and Se'thran was completely knocked out. Se'thran pissed his pants and was laying on the floor in his piss.
Et'rie looked at the new being and said...
“Y-you are...so it is true...You have arrived...our savior...”
Et'rie was panting heavily and the new being moved closer and then spoke...
“You.” The new being which was evident that it was Souma but a different person said one word and pointed at Et'rie.
Souma began to cast a spell towards Et'rie and her body was covered in darkness and then it vanished almost immediately and revealed a much younger version of Et'rie and she was quite the beautiful woman. Her hair was no longer gray and her figure was proportionate to her fantastic features.
Souma then spoke...
“You. Belong to me.” Souma commanded Et'rie and her body immediately followed Souma.
Souma ignored Se'thran, who was completely knocked out and phased through the door. Et'rie followed Souma's trail but she didn't phase through the door but she just opened it.
When Souma came to the living room, the two parents were already bowing in the direction of Souma. Souma then spoke to the adult woman...
“You.” Souma casted the same spell instantly and the adult woman transformed into a younger and more beautiful than she already was.
“You. Belong to me. And you, follow me.” He spoke to the woman that transformed beautiful and commanded her that she belonged to Souma and told the adult male to follow him.
Souma phased through the entire house and entered the street. The demons were already bowing in Souma's path and then Souma floated into the middle of the street. He began to levitate higher and then raised his right hand into the air. A dark sphere was beginning to collect into his palm rise further into the air. The orb was increasing in size and the demon race was watching in awe. The humans looked outside and saw a man floating in the air, wielding a large sphere of darkness.
The humans were screaming but it was for naught.
The sphere grew to tremendous heights and the edges were scraping the sides of the buildings and the air grew heavy in the area.. Souma then looked at the direction of the palace where the fake demon king was at.
But before he did anything, he began to speak but it resounded through the entire city.
“All of you. I am Maou-sama! You all. Belong to me!” Souma's voice was extremely loud that it echoed through the entire Maran capital.
The demons were chanting Maou-sama!
“Maou-sama, Maou-sama!”
…
“Return of the true demon king!”
…
“Maou-sama, Maou-sama!”
The words resounded through the night and everyone heard the voice of Souma. The girls at the inn were scared and they went outside and finally saw the man floating in the air. They didn't know who the man was until they recognized the two katana blades at the man's side...
“So-soumaa...”
…
“S-souma...what is going on...”
…
“Wow...Souma...”
The three were astonished and then it happened...
Souma turned towards the palace and then arched his right and simply whisked the sphere and the dark energy sphere zoomed past the skies and went towards the Palace. Luckily for the fake demon king that he was outside because as the fake demon king stared at the sphere, it completely vaporized the entire palace and left nothing. The sphere simply came into contact and consumed the entire palace...
“My...PALACE!!! OH MY GOD!!! WHO THE HELL DID THIS!!!” Mirao was screaming at the disappearance of his palace and his advisor was behind him, sweating bullets...
“Sir...sir...I think you might want to hide...I've read the texts of the demon realm and the true demon king is really powerful...you might want to hide now...before he finds you....”
“Good idea! Let's go Wilfred! TO THE BATCAVE!”
“Sir, you aren't Bruce Wayne and my name is not Wilfred, sir. My name is Matsu.”
“Oh, well! TO THE DUNGEON LAIR THINGY ESCAPE PLACE THAT I BUILT FOR SITUATIONS LIKE THIS!”
“Yes sir!”
…
Souma completely obliterated the entire palace and he was about to fire another one until...
'NO! YOU BETTER LET ME CONTROL MY OWN BODY!!!'
…
'YOU ARE STUPID! WHY AREN'T YOU DOING THIS! YOU ARE THE DEMON KING! YOU MUST NOT LET THOSE BASTARDS GET AWAY!'
…
'I WILL HANDLE THEM MY OWN WAY! I DO NOT WANT TO RISK POINTLESS BLOODSHED!'
…
'WHO CARES! THESE HUMANS ARE PATHETIC ANYWAYS!'
…
'NO, I MUST HANDLE THIS ON MY OWN!! GAHHHHH!!!'
Souma was having an internal fight with himself and his body was reacting to it.
Souma was clenching his face and tightening his fists as he continued to argue with himself. The demons were still chanting Maou-sama and then finally...
A dark sphere enveloped Souma's entire body and it sporadically rotated to new speeds. Souma was returning back to normal and he had won...for now. His body changed though. His height grew shorter to his original height but his hair was long and his regal features were the same. His eyes reverted back to normal but his horns had disappeared. The lines disappeared on his skin but his rings were still on his hands.
The demons were looking for their king and the humans were completely confused. The sphere vanished and Souma returned back to normal. His body fell to the ground and Et'rie caught Souma in her hands. She was younger now and more active which was why she could actually catch Souma.
Et'rie took Souma in but as she held him in her arms, Souma immediately snapped back awake and jumped out of her arms.
“ Yaaaaao! Oh god! WHAT DID I DO!?” Souma screamed as he woke up and Et'rie was confused but as she looked at Souma, her body began to heat up...
“Your Majesty...you alright...?” Et'rie asked Souma while trying to ignore her body as she began to feel heated.
“Uh...yeah...I need to get back to the inn...I feel like I am going to pass out...and I am not your majesty! Stop that!” Souma was really tired and he needed time to think about what he had done...
“You can sleep here if you want...your majesty...” Et'rie told Souma to sleep over...not because her body desired him...well it might've influenced her words...
“No...no...it's okay...I've done too much...I've even made you like that...I mean you look good and all..and your healthy...but I did it without asking...and I am sorry...I will go now...and I am not your majesty!” Souma immediately left and Et'rie was yearning for Souma.
Ojii-chan on the other hand was looking at Souma in a condescending way...
'This boy...he is the pervert king...how could he do that to Et'rie...and wow...she looks the same as when I first met her...quite beautiful...'
{Editor's Note: This part, 'pervert king' would've been Hentai ou-sama or Hentai King...this would have been quite weird so I just put the literal translation as Pervert]
Souma immediately dashed off to the inn where Rai and the girls were at. The demons saw Souma and they were astonished at his appearance but they couldn't catch him since he was running at an incredible speed. He also left behind afterimages in the effect of running.
He reached the inn and greeted Rai, who was shocked to see Souma in a new appearance but he was glad that he returned.
Not even an hour had passed since he left the inn and finally he returned. The girls were waiting in the lobby and they didn't notice Souma enter because he had a completely new appearance and new clothes.
Souma was avoiding eye contact and reached the counter where a giant man stood at the register...
“Umm...Room for one please...anywhere...I just want a big bed for myself...” Souma spoke in a low tone as the girls were on the lookout for Souma.
The girls really wanted to meet Souma because of what they witnessed earlier. Souma was floating in the air and charging a dark sphere that destroyed the palace....
The guy at the register looked at Souma...
“Hmm..are you...no it can't be...you just...” The register guy was about to say that he was the demon king but then Souma shushed him...
“SHHHH don't say it...yes I am him...please don't say anything...let me get my room...here, have a gold piece...it should be enough for the room...” Souma immediately handed the gold piece and grabbed the key as the guy was about to hand it to Souma.
Souma saw the room number and it read Rm. 10 so Souma headed directly towards that room.
As he was about to leave, Eriko saw the two katanas and their unique sheath and said...
“Ahah! Souma! DON'T YOU RUN AWAY!”
The girls turned in the direction which Eriko pointed to and Souma immediately ran.
“Eeeeep! Oh snap gahhh!” Souma yelped and dashed towards his room.
The girls were now chasing after Souma but he was already in his room and he locked the door.
“Phew...I am safe...they cannot get in...phew...thank go---OH GOD!” As he sat on the bed and spoke, Eriko and Erika rammed the door and broke the hinges. Lina walked in front of the two and she was tapping on her foot and she glared at Souma...
“You've got some explaining to do...Mister Souma...or should I say...”Maou-sama!” Hmph!”
Eriko and Erika stood up and brushed themselves and they stood on the sides of Lina and they waited for Souma to speak...
“Ummm well...that wasn't me...you know...I'm just a normal boy...” Souma was avoiding eye contact from the three and whistling a tune.
Eriko spoke next...
“Remember when you said that those weapons are special and only you can use it...How do you explain that huh...”
…
“Ummm...well uhhh...”
…
Erika spoke this time...
“If it wasn't you...then why wasn't he crushed by YOUR weapon...are you saying that he had a copy that HAD THE SAME DESIGNS...”
…
Souma was sweating bullets and the girls were staring at his handsome facial features and they were about to jump him but they also wanted answers...
“Umm...well you see...that was just a magic show that my friend wanted me to do! It was just a special event for demons and they wanted me to play the part of Maou-sama....you see...it was just a special show...nothing really...” Souma was lying his ass off...
“Oh...really...well that explains everything!” Lina was smiling
…
“Oh...That was really cool!” Erika exclaimed.
…
“Nice appearance!” Eriko thumbed up and then...
Souma looked relieved and sighed...
'Phew...' Souma sighed in relief.
…
…
…
Then the three of them yelled in unison...
“DO YOU EXPECT US TO BELIEVE THAT!?!!! GAAAH!”
…
Lina spoke before the other two could even start...
““You! You all belong to me now!” I remember you saying that! What did you mean by that! Uh huh! You know what...you are mine now! I will make it so!!” Lina tackled Souma and thrust her entire weight onto Souma and they fell onto the bed. Souma was really tired and didn't have any power right now to fight back.
Eriko spoke next..
“Miss Yurika...” But before she even started her sentence, Lina snapped back and spoke...
“Remember what I told you two...you are my guards but you are also my sisters...when we're together please drop the formality...” Lina snapped back to Souma and began to take off his clothes.
“Yurika-nee...even if you are my big sister...”
Eriko moved onto the bed and sat behind Souma's head and placed his head on her lap...
“I cannot let you get ahead of me!”
Eriko completely shielded Souma's face and placed her lips onto his.
“Wha...What!?! I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIRST!” Lina exclaimed and immediately shoved Eriko's face and locked her own lips with Souma and then...
Erika, who was busy fixing the door, had finally finished and then she spoke...
“Oh no you don't! You two will not get ahead!”
Erika shoved Lina's face away and began to deeply kiss Souma and lock tongues together. But while she was kissing Souma, Erika was smoothly moving her hands beneath Souma's shirt and rubbing his manly chest.
After she was done kissing, Souma was gasping for breath and he finally spoke..
“WAIT!! WAIT YOU THREE!!! I AM EXTREMELY TIRED AND WEAK NOW AND WE NEED TO TAKE SOME TIME AND I'LL EXPLAIN THINGS JUST WAIT!!!!”
Then the three spoke in unison...
“You've had your chance already! You can explain everything tomorrow morning after we're done!!! and don't worry...after we're done...you'll be really~ tired...”
Then the night continued on. For Souma, there was a first for everything and....tonight will be the longest night he could ever imagine..
