Saito's movements were unusually fast. A look on his face and it would be easy to deduce that Saito was being very rash in his movements and was straining his body to move quicker than usual.
Obviously, it couldn't be blamed on him. From how he saw the situation, the presence of Naomi, the Seven Tailed Fox Monarch had destroyed his plans. He thought that with the two Demon Lord-level territories, it would be easy to destroy this Clan.
He also understood the words that Raul Chaser spoke to him on his death bed. The fact that the Clan Head was in contact with a Demon Lord.
There was a grim look on his face as he berated himself 'Damn. I should have thought a bit more into his words. How could he know that the other party was a Demon Lord? Obviously through the pressure and magic. For someone of her power, it would be easy to release that pressure. I am so much idiot… Now I have to cover up this mess which has occurred due to my carelessness.'
Though he berated himself and made sure to never make such a huge miscalculation again. It couldn't be blamed on him at all. Who would think that Naomi was related to this situation?
However, now that he thought more about Naomi's unknown relationship with the Sea Dragon Clan. He started thinking 'This explains why they have such an Illusion Formation. The presence that it gave was rather like the one which Elf Forest gives. I didn't think there was such a relation but since it is her, its' possible that she is the one who constructed this formation for them. What is her motive behind this? To get the Sea Dragon King out of his seal?'
The deeper he thought, the faster he moved his body.
Soon enough, he reached his destination and started to prepare an ambush. He was in a hurry since he didn't have much time before he would encounter the Sea Dragon Clan. It was best to lay down traps…
There was a dense forest on both sides of this route. With a smirk 'Time to redesign this entire place…'
~~
A large army was coming towards the Demon Lord Azaroth's territory. This was the army of the Demon Lord Tarodoch. He was rather strong. He showed great prestige as he marched his way towards the Demon Lord Azaroth's territory. His motive seemed completely unknown… Nobody could understand why he was interested in waging a war against a fellow Demon Lord.
A war between Demon Lords was rarely seen. One of the reasons was the countless casualties after the war. The other reason was that after a Demon's strength reached the realm of Demon Lord. It would be hard to determine which way the battle would go.
Even if a Demon Lord's magic was about twice or thrice the amount of his opponent. His victory wouldn't be assured. The only thing he had an advantage of was being able to use skills that require a huge amount of magic and stamina.
However, the Demon Lord with lesser magic reserves wasn't completely helpless. With less magic quantity in his body, his control was instinctively greater. The time required for him to use a skill was lesser than the Demon Lord with huge magic.
Besides these things, there were various other factors that decided their battle but the skills and the intelligence were the major factors that decided the flow of the battle.
The skills, their strengths, their weaknesses. Using their intelligence to use these skills in a clever way to get the upper hand.
This was why the Demon Lords rarely went into war against each other. After becoming so strong, who wanted to fight against someone else when you had an equal chance of dying?
Besides, other than some Demonic factions with hostility against each other. Didn't they have a single enemy… The humans?
If they fought against each other and continued to weaken themselves then wouldn't the Humans just charge through and wipe them all out in one go?
They were smart enough to understand the huge threat possessed by the humans. Their population was all united under one rule making it much easier for them to group together and start to destroy Demon territories one by one.
The only reason they haven't started this was that the other Demon Lords from the neighboring territories would support the territory being attacked while also requesting reinforcements from other territories.
Though many of the demons hated each other, they had no choice but to temporarily join hands to fend off the attack from humans.
This had only happened 3 times in history when the Human Kingdom suddenly launched an attack and took over vast land from the Demons. Obviously, this didn't please the Demons but they had no choice other than to begrudgingly accept their defeat and protect the remaining territories under their control.
Since there are fewer territories vacant for the Demon Lords now. If a Demon King manages to reach the level of Demon Lord in power, he would have to fight against his master and win and take over the territory. This was a rule virtually accepted by almost all Demons.
The Demon Lord Tarodoch had ordered all his Demon Kings to move against the Demon Lord Azaroth. It appears he was ready to stake everything in this all-out war against the Demon Lord Azaroth.
~~
Meanwhile, a vicious-looking youth was staring in front of his messenger who seemed to be shivering just by the gaze of this youth. A cold smirk formed its way onto his face as he spoke with his voice solidifying his prestige in the court, "How interesting… The Demon Lord Tarodoch seems to be in a rush to war. It would be rude to not join him in making this scene even more chaotic."
This was Alvaneth… The former Demon God. Though this identity was kept secret by him. The messenger was dismissed by a wave of his hand.
On his side, his most beautiful woman, and the former Demon Lord Helena was standing. Her eyes went a little wide at the information… She started to think deeply about how she could use this war to get away from Alvaneth.
Suddenly, she heard him order loudly with authority, "I want you all to form a quick line-up of 10 strongest men under me."
It caused Helena to let out a relieved sigh. Wouldn't this mean that she could run away from him when he wasn't here? Even though she had lost to him, she still had a small influence left within this place. It wouldn't be hard for her to escape with the assistance of her small influence.
Just when she let out a relief, Alvaneth glanced towards her with a cold smirk and said, "Aww…wife, are you sad thinking that I will leave you behind? Don't you worry! I shall release the seal and you can accompany me to this battlefield."
Obviously, this didn't please her at all and she frowned. She was unable to understand his intention and asked him, "Aren't you worried that I will run away?"
At her words, Alvaneth merrily laughed before he said, "Haha… Wife… Aren't you too worried about nothing? You running away from me? That's easier said than done. Even if you manage to run away from my clutches, I would be surprised but not worried. Since I can capture you once, I can capture you again."
His words seemed to bring down the hammer of judgement on her fate. She couldn't believe that this guy wasn't worried about the fact that she wanted to escape from him.
She had thought so many excuses in her head. She had initially expected him to be mad that someone was able to escape under his nose but here he revealed his indifference in stating that he could re-capture her.
Wasn't it just going to be useless? Her shoulders dropped and she felt that life truly was unfair.
Alvaneth started walking towards the room of one of his beauties. He looked like he wanted to enjoy some of them before leaving for the great battlefield.
Right now, a rather strong-looking and charismatic Demon Lord Azaroth was in his courtyard when a seductive woman walked within the room.
Her footsteps revealed her presence to the Demon Lord Azaroth sitting peacefully on his cradle. His face revealed a teasing look, "Heh… You are coming into my chambers rather willingly today Naomi. Have you finally decided to be with me?"
This was naturally Naomi, the Seven Tailed Fox Monarch. Her current state was rather different from how she was with Saito and others. It was like she was a completely different woman.
The pitiful strength in her body was unlike how she had faced Saito.
The Demon Lord's eyes suddenly widened when he noticed there were water droplets below her eyes. Her body carried some wounds and contained traces of strong Demon magic.. As strong as his own magic.
