Book 4: Chapter 94: What is Common Sense?
High up in the Air Above the Wasteland
Satan watches on as the Princess fights the random demon whose name Satan doesnt even remember. And all Satan can feel is a vicious mixture of two strong emotions.
Extremely strong fear.
And shock.
By the Demon King shes actually fighting on par with a Class V while at Class IV
The demon in charge of the current assault finds himself unsure of how to take this. Because not once in history has a being ever been able to cross the boundaries to kill a Class V while at Class IV. Not even the Demon King could do it, nor assassins who had every possible advantage they could get.
But now he feels as if hes watching history, a vague spark of hope filling his eyes. One mixed with a small amount of bitterness.
Because he knows that no matter what happens, he loses. If the Princess dies to his challenge, hell be ostracized by every last demon on Tartarus and possibly even killed. No, most likely killed.
And if the Princess wins against his challenge, then he will be required to retreat. All of the work they just did, all of the demons they sacrificed to do so, will be lost. And they wont be able to attack again for an entire month, which is more than enough time for the humans to regain their control. Especially since Satan failed to kill one of the Knights before she got there.
All because I was messing around
Satan grits his teeth and glares in the direction of the Red Knight, who is only barely managing to retain his consciousness after having woken up due to the battle.
After a few seconds though he returns his gaze back to the chaos going on down below him.Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
All throughout the battlefield, hundreds of creatures made of darkness can be seen running around while battling with thousands of creatures made of blood. Meanwhile the Princess tries to fight against the nightshade without much success since its now hiding amongst the summons, occasionally jumping out and attacking her like a nightshade normally would do against an equal opponent. Unlike what its been doing up till now, which it only does against weaker opponents.
With that skill she might just pull this off.
The Lord of Hellfires son almost cant believe he actually thought that, even though he truly believes it.
A child accomplishing what the Demon King failed to do.
Killing a Class V while at Class IV.
The mere idea is thought of as an impossibility by everyone, demon or human. With no exceptions to that rule outside of stupid idiots who end up dying in their attempt instead after pissing off a Noble demon.
But now a blood lycan child of no older than twenty-one years old may very well succeed. And not just in killing a Class V while at Class IV, but killing a Class V while not even at the level cap of Class IV. A Class V who isnt even at the bottom of Class V.
Its just absurd!
And thats not even considering her new Elemental Shifting and Manipulation skills. Something most Nobles never get, much less a demon at Class IV.
Satan begins to feel himself briefly questioning his common sense as he watches the Princess continue her fight with the nightshade whose name he still cant remember. But then he blinks as he begins to wonder if His Majesty is watching them right now.
Probably is.
The oni briefly glances over at the Knights who he started to float into the air at some point just to keep their disabled selves out of the way of the battle. Then he focuses on the battle again right as the Princess does something unexpected.
She stops in the middle of the wasteland and seems to just let the nightshade score a direct hit on her. But not before she begins to glow with a bright red light.
What is she doing now?!
