'...... good, let us have Mercy. Kill him so that he does not suffer, Midia."
'Yes, Master Roland."
Midia replied cheerfully to Roland.
Roland is a great demon of the 3rd rank.
The ranks of the demon race range from 1 to 99, with the smaller the number the higher the rank.
Naturally, the first rank is the demon king, and Roland is the No. 3 most powerful demon among the demon race
He was such a powerful enemy that he appeared in the final stage of the game.
"Please wait. ............"
Before the demon tribe could finish speaking, a young girl-like looking demon tribe called Midia lightly swung a thin sword.
“Ei!”
Then a large crack appeared in the earth.
At the same time, the demon was cut cleanly in half, and then disappeared as particles.
The demon that I had struggled with was killed in an instant, just like a baby's hand being twisted.
"I don't want a disgrace to the demon that would be defeated by a human."
Midia is a demoness of the sixth rank.
Despite her cute appearance and the way she speaks, she is known as a cruel, torture-loving sadist.
Midea faced me this time.
“Roland-sama, if you are going to kill him too, I would like to take him with me. It's been a long time since I've played with a human being."
'Wait a minute, Midia. Alfred, the hero, this time you have made a great mistake, can you recover?"
“ It can be recovered ....... This time it was just a mistake!"
I spoke as I struggled to stop my body from shaking violently.
Instinct was telling him. I'll never be able to compete with the monsters in front of me.
"Was it a failure? Isn't “failure” a word used to describe something that has the potential to succeed in the future? You look like you'll never recover."
"No, I'm not! I beg you! Give me another chance, Roland!"
At that moment, my right hand fell to the ground with a plop as a searing pain occurred in my hand.
"Ohhhhhhhhhh !!!!.”
The ground was stained with my own fresh blood.
You have the nerve to call Roland-sama off!”
Says Midea angrily.
This bitch! ............ How dare bastard take my precious right hand!
"It's fine. He is a hero, even if he is rotten. He is the savior of human kind that appears once every few hundred years. Let's give him that much respect. Even if he is a human being who is defeated not by us but by a small fry called a pervert. He cried, begged for his life, and even became incontinent. How can a person survive with that much disgrace in his life?"
Roland said with a look of mockery on his face.
With that, the sight of the disgrace he had suffered from Grace came back to his mind.
A magma-like rage flared up from deep within me.
"Damn you, you son of a bitch. !!!!!"
'Ho, I like your eyes filled with hatred. Fine, it seems your heart is not broken yet. But be careful. If you keep making mistakes like this, you will have a painful path ahead of you that will be more terrible than death.”
Roland snapped his fingers and ---- my right hand was healed instantly as if nothing had happened.
It was such a terrific restorative magic that it seemed like a magic trick.
"BUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!'
At that moment, the baby Roland was carrying suddenly began to cry.
'Oh, I'm sorry for making such a loud noise. Yes, yes, please stop crying--”
Roland desperately tried to soothe the baby who had started crying.
It seemed very strange that two demons would both come to a place like this with a baby in tow, but I wondered if the love of family is so strong among the demons as to make them share the responsibility of raising a child.
"I swear that I will kick Grace out and give the demons favorable treatment when I become the king!”
I declare this in the pose of a knight's oath.
If I can kill Grace, I will sell my soul to the demons.
Then, a voice emanates from an unexpected place.
“Good luck!"
The baby who had been crying just a moment ago suddenly began to speak in a mature manner.
"............? I thought that they were babies. ......'
"Hey! Use honorifics! You're being disrespectful!"
Roland, who had been tolerant until a moment ago, suddenly became furious, his eyes bloodshot.
What does he mean?
"Don't be angry. I forgive his disrespect.'
'It's been a long time since we have lifted the ban on human hunting. I'm looking forward to it."
The babes leave the hands of Roland and the others and float in the air.
The babies left Roland and others' hands and floated in the air, one after another uttering grown-up words.
We've also said that we're willing to provide the human farm with the flesh of our own people. Let's hope for the best."
'It will alleviate the shortage of blood and meat."
'Because humans are going to be extinct soon."
"It would be great if the pigs would manage on their own and go to us for food.'
Roland and the others kneel down to show their reverence for the babies.
Does this mean that these babies are of a higher status than Roland and the others?
"What the hell are they ......?
"You should be terrified to deal with them!"
Roland spat.
"I'm counting on you, my hero!"
No, demon in the skin of a hero!
The babies' faces changed from bull, to dog, to horse, to lion, to tiger.
What in the world is wrong with them? ......
'How good of them to use any means to achieve their own desires!"
"I will give you the power of our demon race!"
"Then you will find no enemies!”
There are only two demons higher than Roland.
One is the Demon King and the other is not these babies.
Then what in the world are these children?
I'm pretty sure there was no such entity in the DLC edition.
............ but oh well.
Whoever these beings are, whatever demon tribe they ally themselves with.
My goal is to see Grace die a horrible death and the royal ending.
For that, I'll use any demon, demon race, or anything else!
"Kya-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
The babies laughed like mad as their face reverted back to that of the original demon tribe.
'Now the beginning of a new millennium!'
This millennium will be a thousand years of human suffering!"
"Glory to the demon tribe!"
"Glory to the demons!"
“Cha-ha-ha-ha-ha!”
The sun had completely set, and the land, with only a little moonlight to illuminate it, was filled with the mad laughter of babes echoing through the air.
