Chapter 179: The Sage Resumes His Activities

I transferred to the audience hall.

I met Lucianas eyes; she'd been absorbed in office work.

She stood up in a rush when she noticed me and ran up to me, scattering documents in her wake.

Demon Lord-sama!

Luciana hugged me from the front.

She embraced me tightly, making my body creak in protest.

She was a high-ranking demonkin, and was powerful enough to serve as one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Lords Army.

Although it wasnt very noticeable, she actually possessed a considerable amount of strength.

Moreover, perhaps due to her agitation, she couldnt adjust her strength well at the moment.

Cracks ran along my shoulders and arms.

It was only a matter of time before my whole body got crushed.

I was worried. You never came back after all

Luciana murmured with her voice quivering slightly.

It was unimaginable considering how she usually acted.

Im sorry.

I only replied with that.

At the same time, the bones of my arms broke off and fell to the ground.

Luciana returned to herself at the sound and hurriedly separated from me.

Her eyes were red and puffy, but she kept the tears from flowing.

As I picked up my fallen arms, I stuck it back with miasma.

When I looked up, I found Diella standing at the edge of the room.

She stood imposingly as she revealed a fearless smile.

You returned well. As expected of a Demon Lord.

I still have things I need to do. I couldnt afford to die there.

Diella looked happy with my reply.

She was among the people with the most mediocre origin and career amongst all of the initial researchers.

But before I knew it, she turned into an existence that a beast of the outer world feared.

Although the person in question didnt care about it, the director was considered one of the strongest people in the Demon Lords Army.

Luciana asked me a question to break the subtle change in atmosphere.

Demon Lord-sama, what are you going to do from now on?

We will maintain the war front that has already been deployed. While I go around to support each location, Luciana, I want you to try and collect information.

Okay, leave it to me.

Luciana agreed with a serious expression.

The beasts of the outer world were a threat to the whole continent nay, even the other continents as well.

The defense mechanisms should be at work, but I doubted that there would be enough of them to handle the situation.

Besides, all they cared about was preventing the destruction of the world.

They wouldnt go out of their way to save people.

Under these circumstances, a steady flow of information was important.

It was necessary to integrate information to allow us to move more efficiently.

Diella, can I ask you to defend the capital?

I actually wanted to be on the frontlines, but I will refrain this time. The time when I need to act seems to have been delayed for later.

Diella grumbled as she nodded reluctantly.

It seemed she wasnt opposed to helping.

She was practically treated as an executive of the Demon Lords Army.

She was once my nemesis, but now she became a reliable neighbor.

One would never know for sure how things would turn out.

I was late to make my move, so I have no choice but to recover from this tricky situation.

Even though I was only away for a while, the world was already devastated.

Although I didnt know what purpose the beasts had, I intended to eliminate them thoroughly.

This world only needed a single great evil.

I would show them the power of the resurrected Demon Lord.
