Chapter 1492 A Vision

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!! The demons have breached the Aharxc city. The iron fortress of the kingdom has fallen!"

With a face that's just short of crying, an intelligence officer in commoner clothes knelt in front of the King and said in a heartbreaking voice.

"Don't panic, don't panic." The king grabbed his shaking right hand with his left and said to himself with an ugly smile. Alas, he couldn't stop his feet from shivering.

Princess Elizabeth looked at her father with a hint of disappointment before turning to the messenger with a stern gaze. "What about the other kingdoms?"

The humans ruled five large kingdoms. In comparison, the demon world was only half as large as humans, but was under a single rule.

Despite this, they were under the threat of extinction. So, if their kingdom falls, the others would likely follow.

"P-Princess...the best defense cities of all kingdoms are breached at the same time."

The hot tears flowing down the man's cheeks splashed on the white marble floor and reflected his disheveled appearance.

"All of the kingdoms are breached at once." The Princess clutched her forehead and beads of sweat slid down her neck.

The breeze that felt gentle until now seemed chilly and the tough walls of the palace appeared too weak.

"I will ask the goddess for guidance. It's the only option we have left. I am sure she will not let us be killed by those barbaric and vile demons."

Patting her chest to instill confidence in her own words, the Princess clenched the fabric of her long skirt and ran out of the throne hall.

The soldiers who stood on guard listened to the whole conversation with an expresionless face.

But on the inside, they were already thinking of sending their family to the far off lands, in hopes for survival.

While this happened, the Demon King was happy.

A banquet was thrown. Wine, food and sex were abundant, the scent of the three filling the entire castle.

The main guest of the party—the honorary demon—Varian had refused the invitation and stayed back in his room, citing that he didn't want to make other demons feel uncomfortable.

That's bullshit, of course.

He's too busy studying the power of order restricting his rank.

In a few days, my armies will burn down the cities in their paths and march to the human capitals.

I have no doubts about this.

And yet..."

The fire flickering in the eyesocket's vanished for a moment and the shoulders of the giant skeleton drooped.

"I cannot feel the joy of winning. There is only growing anxiety in my heart. That despite winning everything, I will have nothing."

The Demon King's words might've been confusing to others but the succubus maid knew that her master had a vague prophetic ability. And that's why, his words caused her to shudder and look at him in panic.

"I've killed many great beings, slayed legendary creatures and razed entire kingdoms. I fought to the brink of death many times before I became the strongest. I've felt fear many times before. But what I feel now is not fear."

While the Demon King voiced his feelings to his maid, the Princess bowing in front of a giant female statue furrowed her brows as a vision unfolded in front of her eyes.

Simultaneously, the Demon King continued narrating.

The Princess saw herself in a huge church before the vision zoomed out, revealing the capital city, the kingdom, the human domain and then included the demon world.

"I can face fear. Be it the fear of death or disease or a stronger opponent."

The landmass of humans and demons was further zoomed out, revealing a huge continent.

The vision changed further, revealing a planet with three continents, one being that of humans and demons, another being the legendary world of elves and the third

being that of the mythical dragons.

"But the emotion I'm feeling now..."

The Princess could feel it–the strongest beings of these continents were as strong as the Demon King himself, if not stronger.

But they, including everyone in the human-demon land, looked at the sky with wide, disbelieving eyes.

"It's despair."

A giant hand enveloped the world and crushed it to pieces.
