7th Demon Prince Jilbagias’ Chronicle of Demon Kingdom Toppling Chapter 10: Guideline to Destroy A Nation

Guideline to Destroy A Nation

Though I was almost overwheld by my own rage when I read the first demon king's autobiography, I'm also glad that I got the chance to read it.

First, I knew that the Panhumanity alliance wasn't destroyed during my growth phase.

I understand the general situation of the war from Sofia's story or from the report that was used as my learning material.

It seems the alliance was still suffering the sa consecutive losses as usual. But then, the progress of the Demon King Army invasion has also slowed down compared to before. Though I've also noticed this trend back when I was still an active hero, the progress beca really slow the last few years.

How should I say, it feels like the march of giants. In short, the speed was really slow, yet steady.

I an, for a frontline fortress that was taken down in half a day or less, they would take weeks to secure the area around the fortress, take a long break and then move to the next fortress.

Though the from before would ponder why the demon king army didn't take a more careful approach to prevent any insurrection, the after reading Chronicle of Demon King Founding Nation pretty much realized the reason.

The demon race would be in deep trouble if they crushed their Enemyall at once.

If the demon race was really going all out, the alliance would collapse and the demon race would lose their precious potential enemy which would turn into a huge, ticking ti bomb for the demon race. Thus, they set the pace of the war, deliberately pulling punches to prolong the war. Biding their ti till the alliance rebuilt their war potential. And then crushed those forces from the front to quell the belligerent spirit of the demon race.

As of late, the Demon Kingdom would dispatch ssengers to inform the nearby alliance country about their invasion and let the alliance side decide which fortress or cities would beco the battlefield.

Naturally, the designated countries did everything they could, using all of their connection with the alliance to prevent their country from being selected. Nevertheless, the Holy country which led the alliance up to this point was clearly exhausting themselves with this long war. They had long since beco leaders in na only and their influence was also limited to religion-related matters.

Currently, the alliance could only accept the Demon King Army challenge with do or die spirit, the alliance was in shambles. Last ti I heard, they were pulling each other's feet, busy with their own scuffle while the enemy was marching closer and closer by the day.

When the frontline country ca into contact with the Demon Kingdom, there was huge a difference in the countries that provided aid for We can't fight but, it's possible to change the Next Target like usual. reason.

Those filthy politicians In this regard, as much as I hate the Demon race, it was a matter of their nature and they never actually tried to hide that fact. I noticed that Night Elves were doing sothing which caused the current situation in the alliance.

Sothing like At least, you'll survive a bit longer was by no ans an optimistic situation. And even if the Demon Kingdom was defeated, the grudge between the countries could beco a trigger for another war.

Moreover, innocent citizens were sacrificed to support the prolonged war. The alliance should've already known what kind of tragedy would befall the humans who failed to escape from the country that was conquered by the Demon King Army. They're treated even lower than goblins, the lowest class citizens of Demon Kingdom, they literally beca livestock. Even at this very mont, there were many humans who lost their lives.

I still had so ti before the alliance was defeated.

But, it didn't an that I could rest on my lapel.

I need to advance my plan, second by second, not wasting any precious second given to in this second life.

Now, I've pretty much proven the existence of the rumored Dark Portal.

It had been the biggest mystery for the alliance about the reason why the Demon Kingdom could mobilize Devils en-masse but the answer was pretty much as simple as "Because they had the gate that was directly connected to hell".

You also ca from the Dark Portal right, Sofia?

Of course. Nowadays, the devil won't co to this world via summoning again.

I asked that question during the break between our close combat training, and she replied as if it was Natural.

Summoning ceremony is a dangerous ritual that exhausted both the summoners magical power and life force but, even us, the Devils hate that thod.

You hate that thod?

Now imagine this, Jilbagias-sama Imagine your body being forcibly cramd into a pin-sized hole so that it will co out to the other side of the pin-sized hole.

That sounds painful indeed.

That's right. It might be akin to Painful in your perception.

Sofia spoke with undisguised repulsion on her face. It seems she had prior experience.

What's different between summoning and dark portal?

It's like heaven and earth. The dark portal is a normal, long and comfortable tunnel.

Since that's the case, why is there no previous case of devils coming out from dark portal prior to the rise of Demon Kingdom?

I am still missing so pieces of the puzzle to solve this mystery.

The reason is simple. We, the devils can't co to This World via the dark portal. To co to This World, we need a connection with another being In this case, the Demon Race.

So, according to Sofia.

From the denizen of hell's perspective, the dark portal was a dinsional hole to which they had no idea where it was connected to.

None of the devils who dared to enter that hole by themselves ever returned.

Maybe, it's originally not tied to anywhere not even I, the devil of knowledge, dare to risk my life by entering that hole. Maybe I'll try it after I learnt all the knowledge in this world.

But still can we really go to hell?

It might be possible but, you might not be able to go to hell because of the intention of the pioneer at that ti, the first Demon King-sama.

Did that fu*cking Raohgias do sothing again?

When the dark portal was discovered, His Majesty the 1st Demon King was looking for strength. His wish and desire at that ti might have affected the distortion of the dinsion.

Do you an that an individuals intention affects reality just like what happened during the great war of gods?

I an, it's as absurd as many demons wishing for rain to fall yet no rain fell. And yet, that happened to the dinsion distortion.

If such a thing is possible, his destination should be sowhere close to hell though.

That's impossible. Hell is a pretty ambiguous world when compared to a material world like This World but, it has a powerful concept. For example, the material of this world is really stable while in hell, it's easily affected by the concept

Here it cos, Magus scholar mode.

On top of that Until the mont when His Majesty the 1st Demon King jumped into it, the state of the dinsional distortion in this world was still pure. It is also thanks to the fact that the land around it is extrely unstable. That's why you can say that Dark Portal was born the mont His Majesty 1st Demon King jumped in.

Does that an the dinsional distortion ended up connected to hell due to the 1st Demon King's desire for power?

What kind of fu*cked up story was this.

Raohgias had too many influences in this world

But, that was all I could say. Demon Kingdom, to think that I had to do sothing about the dark portal to weaken the demon races strength.

To be honest, only now did I realize that there was an even more troubling matter than the demon king army naly, the dinsional distortion in which I had no idea what I had to do about it but

I definitely had to do sothing about that dark portal. The already powerful demon race would only beco even more powerful with the aid of the devils.

On the other hand, I could weaken them if they couldn't borrow the devil's power anymore.

Moreover, I also had to do sothing about the Demon King's Spear and drive a wedge into the fragile unity of the demon race.

Only after I did that would the panhumanity alliance stand a chance against the demon kingdom.

We~ll, Jilbagias-sama's turn will co soon.

For so reason, Sofia said sothing that I couldn't understand while nodding her head.

Turn what?

Your turn to visit hell.

Sofia replied easily.

Eh?

I an your horn has grown and your magical power's strength is enough. The 1st prince, His Highness Aiogias visited hell and made a contract with a devil when he was eight. Maybe madam wants to break that record by letting the five year old you enter hell since qualification wise, you've no problem to do so.

It seems I had no say in this regard.

That Platy definitely wouldn't miss this chance.

As Jilbagias-sama's educator, I feel really proud of you. You can't wait to see what kind of devil you're going to make a contract with, right?

Sofia spoke with a smile on her face but

I see

I, the forr hero would make a contract with a devil in hell, eh.

Not to ntion that I'm the youngest child too

Hell no, screw the fact about being a hero.

I had to defeat the demon king.

And then destroy the demon kingdom.

I would be more than willing to make a contract with a devil if it would allow to gain the power to achieve my goal.

By the way, do you know how to find a suitable devil for ?

Don't worry about it. You'll naturally et the most appropriate devil for you once you enter the dark portal.

Eh, I see.

A suitable devil for a forr hero like I wonder what kind of devil would co out to et ?

I guess that's sothing I can look forward to.

I couldn't help but put a twitching smile on my face.

And then, a few days later.

Jilbagias! Ti to go to hell!

Platy finally told the ti.

You've to find a suitable devil for you before you can enter the palace in the truest sense.
