"What is… happening…?"
The red skies of Hell turned black.
The red unchanging skies of the deprived land.
Were filled with darkness.
The door to the grand hall opened once more and a torrent ca hurtling inside. The instrunts of the demons playing the music screeched and turned livid.
The glasses in the room clinked while tables shook.
Every. Single. Demon.
Every single demon was rooted in its spot as the sounds of footsteps rged with the screeching strings.
Locks of hair black and white. Horns stretching just slightly above his head.
Deep, cold, sharp eyes of athyst.
And a slight self-important grin. As if everything here was just another Monday morning for him.
Seeing the demons frozen in the spot, the man walked over to the servers on the side, picked up his glass of wine, and raised it.
"Apologies if I was late. As a new demon lord," he grinned and pointed his glass toward the windows. "I wanted to present that, as a gift to all of you."
"I-It's the night!!!"
"Night has co!!"
"WOOOOOO!"
Screams ca rushing in from out the windows as the demons outside shed tears at the advent of night.
For the first ti since its establishnt many thousand years ago.
On the night of Walpurgis.
Night.
Had co.
***
I watched the demon lords all shocked in their places.
Of the thirty that I had taken under by extension through Sitri and the others as well, quite a few of them started crying.
It was the perfect mont.
I had the place to myself. The people outside were swayed, and the people inside were swayed.
There was no better ti to place my topic at the front.
But.
But there was sothing, no, soone in my way.
I didn't need to see to be able to tell anymore. At the head of the room with his eyes turned straight toward , the Grand Chancellor of Hell, Lucifuge Rofocale was staring down.
His pressure ca straight toward , not enough to threaten , but as if speaking to .
To lay low and discuss this properly.
Well.
They were all going to be useful for .
So I couldn't just—
"YOUUUUU!!!!"
A tearing scream ripped through the air as crows fluttered in the sky.
"I know who you are! That face!"
Not far from , another demon lord was throwing a grand tantrum at my sight. Wings of black spread from his back as his words and screeches.
This guy?
Did I know him?
"Eugy, what beef does this nobody have with you?"
Peeking out of my pockets was Titania, who surprised a whole lot of the demon lords here. But the demon charging at didn't seem to notice as he ca straight for my neck.
"My liege—"
It seed Bathym and Sitri were about to say sothing, but before they could, I raised my foot up high.
I really couldn't control myself right now since I was using the World's End. Placing Cataclysm inside my own body was too difficult for now.
I sighed at the demon and slamd my foot straight in his face.
"OOOOOO!"
He grunted out loud.
And in the next mont, the entire room shook as he flew straight into the walls and crushed them apart.
The clouds of World End outside trembled and crackled as well, which brought another loud cheer in from the demons, almost as if it was a fanfare for my actions.
"What are the rules on fighting in this place?" I asked with my head to the side. Of course, to Lucifuge.
The guy himself seed unfocused.
""T-t-titania…?""
To my surprise, two voices rged into one. It was the First Demon Lord, Bael, and the Grand Chancellor, Lucifuge. The other demon lords on the list were also staring at Titania.
"So we're just going to ignore that bug, huh? Cool, cool, cool."
The demon lords at the front were slowly walking closer like zombies while Titania grabbed my hair.
"Alright, what is going on?"
"I am quite the heartthrob, you see. These people are all smitten with ."
"Oh, Evil Queen! How my heart longed to see you again—"
No. Just fucking no.
What was this Bael guy doing now? What the fuck?
"Stand down, Bael, we are in a professional setting and we must follow it. Lady Evil Queen, soone as esteed as you must take the host's seat."
"Chancellor! You sly fox!"
"Bael! You don't think I am not aware of your trickery. All of you, prepare. We will start the eting first and then have the banquet today."
"Oh my god, are they like, seeing their crush after years? That's so romantic… hick… sniff…"
"There, there, Barbatos."
Man, these guys were wack.
In the sa way adventurers were. Even that bug from earlier had the extra spirit! Who even was he? I kind of recalled the crows, but it was not that important.
The demons on the sides started rushing about and placed an enormous table in the center of the equally vast room.
At that sa ti when Bael and Lucifuge were in each other's hair, I was about to speak to Titania when soone completely different ca up to , behind that person were three more demons.
I knew this one well without having to see his face.
"Kid! You made it!"
"Gramps!" I cheered back at Demon Lord Agares. The last ti I had t him almost a year back, I was nearly trembling. It had been a long ti since then.
"Potential? Are you kidding , Vassago? He just stepped on Raum."
"To be fair, Samignia, anyone can step on Raum."
"Bring 'er in!" He said as he raised both his hands and I gave him a high ten back. Old people.
He then grinned and slapped my back before turning to the others.
"This is the young man that did Dantalian in. She almost made him a demon before that, though."
"Almost?" Another said. He seed like a human just like and the Gramps, more human than the others. "Then you turned… into a demon lord yourself? You have potential, child."
"Potential? Are you kidding , Vassago? He just stepped on Raum."
"To be fair, Samignia, anyone can step on Raum."
"Whatever the case," Old man Agares waved his hands and slapped my back once more. "You are here to shock us, aren't you?"
"You could tell?"
"Of course. Keep Lady Titania away from those two, though, I won't be able to help if they go mad."
"HAH!" Titania scoffed on my shoulder. "Worry not, Eugy. If any of them lay a hand on you…"
Bael and Lucifuge, who had grabbed each other's hair, stopped and turned toward us.
"I'll rip them to shreds."
Wow.
Badass.
They left each other and stood upright, walking over to introduce themselves to now.
Cute bastards.
I could use them all well.
