Chapter 43: New World VI

Chapter 43: New World VI

"ROOOAR!"

We both instinctively looked toward the forest, where we saw a hulking figure. It had two gigantic wings on its back, was wearing full plate armor, and held two bastard swords wreathed in black hellfire.

It was moving toward us with great speed.

Gazef: "What the hell is that?"

Momonga didn't answer and kept observing it. In a few seconds, the hulking figure reached their position and attacked with its swords.

It swung its swords toward them, but they managed to evade the attack, resulting in the blades hitting the ground and forming a crater.

After landing a bit away from it, Gazef used one of his martial arts.

Gazef: "]Sense Weakness[."

Gazef used one of his martial arts to detect weakness in the target. Gazef's eyes shone with a green light as he inspected it.

Gazef: 'It doesn't have a weakness. It will be a hard fight.'

Momonga: "You need to leave, Master Gazef. This thing is powerful; you wouldn't be able to defeat it, and I can't go all out while you are here."Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Gazef looked incredulously at Momonga, who was far from the figure.

???: "HAHAHAHAHAHA! Do you think I'll allow you to leave?"

The figure spoke in a demonic tone. Saying this, it lunged toward Gazef while swinging his swords sideways.

Gazef: ]Instant Counter![

His sword glowed red briefly, and then he swung it toward the approaching bastard swords. He managed to block the attack of the figure, but its strength was enough to send him flying backward.

Flying backward, he managed to land on his feet. Without waiting, he used another martial art.

Gazef: ] Sixfold Slash of Light[

When Gazef swung his sword at the figure, six red slashes appeared nearby and attacked it. Even after the attack by the six slashes, it remained unscathed.

Gazef: How it's possible.

He spoke in bewilderment. He was shocked to the core. The figure was able to negate his most powerful martial art.

???: "Hahahaha! Punny human, did you really think such a weak attack would be able to harm me?"

The figure raised one of his swords to attack Gazef, but before he could bring down his sword, Momonga lunged toward him and attacked it with an overhead strike.

Momonga's attack connected with the figure, which stunned it momentarily. Leveraging this moment, Gazef jumped back, creating distance between the figure and himself.

Momonga: "I have already told you you can't beat that thing. Just keep your distance from it, and let me handle it. Understood?"

Momonga spoke while facing the figure.

Gazef now knew that he was powerless in this situation. Acting upon the Momonga's advice, he moved back.

Now, Momonga was standing in front of the figure.

Momonga: "Let's rumble."

Momon spun and delivered a deep cut on the figure's chest without answering. The sword cut through the armor like a knife through butter.

Noticing that the figure jumped back.

???: "How can you easily cut through my armor."

Momonga smiled slightly.

Momonag: "It's just one of my skills."

Momonga spoke while pointing one of his swords toward the figure.

???: "Is that so? Well, get ready to face my skill then."

A second later, a red domain formed around the figure. The grass in the field caught on fire immediately.

Momonga: "A skill that does fire-type damage. Interesting, so you are a type of demon or devil."

Momonga said while observing the domain. The figure had a wicked grin on its face.

???: "An astute observation. That's right, I am a type of devil known as the War Demon."

Gazef was far enough to listen to the conversation between Momonga and the War Demon. He was shocked to see its strength. Even though he was not in the realm of heroes, he wasn't far off from it. Yet, he was utterly powerless against the War Demon.

Albedo: "Yes, my Lord."

Momonga used *Gate* and entered the portal.

Momonga: All according to plan.

Momonga thought in ecstasy.

~Flash Back~

*Message*

Fenris: "Daddy, a group of soldiers are approaching the village, and they are wearing a different type of armor."

Momonga: "How many are there."

Fenris: "About 50. They were led by a man with short black hair and a sunbathed dark face."

Momonga: "How long till they reach the village."

Fenris: "About 30 minutes."

Momonga: "That's enough time. Fenny, I want you to contact Demiurge, ask him to summon a War Demon and instruct him to attack me and the soldier's leader when Albedo contacts him."

Fenris: "Okay, Daddy."

Momonga: "One more thing, tell Demiurge to command the War Demon to say this when I am about to kill him...."

*Message Ends*

Ending the *Message* I exited the chief's house and found Albedo standing outside.

Momonga: "Albedo, I have a task for you."

Albedo: "What is it, my Lord."

Momonga: "This is very important for our plans, so listen carefully; I want you to..."

~Flashback Ends~

Albedo called me Ramses instead of 'my Lord' because I wanted to introduce Ramses, my NPC, to the world. This was the initial step toward world domination.

Now, Gazef knew about Ramses and his Master as powerful beings. He would spread the name of Ramses throughout the kingdom, which would then leak into the Empire and the Theocracy.

Remses would be established as a powerful character, followed by his anonymous Master.

Also, the little play with the War Demon would cement the Dark Lord as a powerful enemy of mankind.

Everything I did was for me to become the World Master of the new world. But that was for the future.

We exited the portal to the throne room, where Demiurge and Fenris kneeled before the Throne. I gracefully sat on it; Albedo moved toward my side and kneeled.

Momonga: "Raise your heads."

Everyone raised their heads and looked toward me. I looked toward Demiurge.

Momonga: "Demiurge, you did your task flawlessly; I am pleased."

Demiurge: "Thank you, my Lord."

I nodded and then turned toward Fenris.

Momonga: "Fenny, you, too, did your task flawlessly; I am pleased with you, too."

Fenris: Thanks, Daddy.

Momonga: "And lastly, Albedo, I know your task was the hardest, but you still managed to pull it off. If you want something as a reward, feel free to tell me."

Albedo: "In that case, my Lord. I would like to be embraced by you."

Momonga: "Sure, I will embrace you. But the time and the place will be decided by me."

Hearing this, Albedo had a foolish smile on her face.

Momonga: "Demiurge and Albedo, I want you two to meet me in my office tomorrow."

Albedo: "Understood, my Lord."

Demiurge: "Understood, my Lord."
