Chapter 379 The Red Demon King: Offering a small sun symbolizing nuclear peace to a beautiful world!
"Ugh, my head hurts so much..."
When Wolbach woke up the next day, feeling dizzy, he found himself sleeping in a room.
That's not the problem; the problem is that there are other people in the room.
Huihui, her disciple, held the boy and slept beside him.
"Miss Volbach, you're awake."
Youyou was already up; her biological clock wouldn't allow her to sleep in.
"No, how did I get here?"
"You were drunk last night, so everyone moved you in."
"But what are you all doing here?"
"What's so strange about a family sleeping in one room?"
"Well……"
Wolbach sensed something was wrong, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. Plus, Broly hadn't woken up yet, so she had no idea how serious the situation was.
After that, eating, living, and bathing together became a natural thing. Perhaps because Broly looked relatively young, Wolbach was not very wary.
As the birthday banquet of the Crimson Demon King approached, she was already able to relax and enjoy the massage techniques of her disciple's fiancé, her nominal young husband.
And the rate of increase in happiness was no less than that of Eris.
Of course, Volbach's heart is bigger than Eris's, and comparable to Wiz's, but unlike Wiz's icy slime feel, she has the feel of a fire slime.
Broly heard from Volbach that her beast form was a dragon, skilled in fire magic. Therefore, her body temperature was slightly higher than that of ordinary people. She liked to stay in hot places and do hot things, such as soaking in hot springs. While others might soak for an hour at most, she could soak for most of the day.
To please her, Broly would scrub Wolbach until her whole body turned red and her blood was flowing rapidly through her body every time he gave her a bath.
Of course, he didn't dare use the Finger of Elysium, because it had the opposite effect when used on Eris, and Broly suspected that this might be related to their insufficient friendship.
. . . .
Before we knew it, the cicadas were chirping more, and summer had arrived. After a month and a half of preparation, the day of the Red Demon King's birth banquet had come.
In the border fortress city of the Belzer Kingdom, a number of guests who received invitations from the Red Demon King have been arriving in recent days.
These guests from all over the world gathered together to discuss only one thing: the mysterious Red Demon King.
The mysterious invitation that appeared on their bedside table made every noble entering the fortress city take it seriously, and none dared to refuse to come.
"Who do you think that Red Demon King is? And what does he want to do by gathering so many people here?"
"I don't know, but judging from the literal meaning of the invitation, it's probably announcing its presence to the world."
"Insolent scoundrel, lawless wretch! Once he shows himself, I'll have my guards rush in and kill him!"
A middle-aged nobleman, who had been knocked unconscious from behind by Broly while working at night, said angrily.
God knows how terrified he was; he can't even lift his head now, and even the maids who serve him every night can't help him.
"Killed? Your guards are truly powerful. I heard that even King Belzegu received an invitation from the Red Demon King in his sleep."
That emperor is a genuine high-level professional; if even he didn't notice something being placed by his bedside, then that Red Demon King, even if not a true demon king, definitely possesses considerable strength.
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, and quite a few of them wanted to take action against the Red Demon King for barging into their home and leaving an invitation by their bedside.
This can be seen from the number of attendants and guards who were brought with them.
These people wanted to join forces and take down the incomprehensible Red Demon King.
This news was revealed personally by King Belzegu.
It is worth mentioning that the ancient king of Belzer was very displeased with the Saiyan boy who, along with another thief girl, broke into his palace in the middle of the night to send him an invitation.
Especially after he discovered this and fought back, only to be knocked to the ground by Broly with a few punches and kicks and unable to get up.
"King Belzegu, what are your thoughts on my previous proposal?"
The King of the Kingdom of Bradru arrived at the fortress city with his personal guards, and at that moment he was speaking with the old King of the Kingdom of Belzegu.
"My daughter already has someone she loves, so I must decline King Bradru's offer."
The old king didn't give him a friendly look and offered a perfunctory response.
"What a pity, then we will have no choice but to form a marriage alliance with the Kingdom of Elorod."
"Is this the time to talk about this? That mysterious Red Demon King is supposed to appear today."
"They're nothing but a cowardly villain. If they dare to show up today, I will make them pay the price for trespassing in my palace."
"I agree with King Bradrue."
King Elode also came over at this time, accompanied by several high-level professional guards.
It must be said that although the Kingdom of Elord's military capabilities are lacking, it certainly has plenty of money.
The strength of the hired guards was no less than that of the royal guards of the other two major military powers.
Just as the humans who came to the fortress city harbored malice towards the mysterious Red Demon King.
It's time for the birthday banquet of the Crimson Demon King to begin.
But after a while, nothing happened.
"No one showed up. Was he just bluffing after all?"
"Perhaps seeing so many of us here, that Red Demon King simply doesn't dare to show his face."
The Red Demon King failed to appear on time, causing the nobles from various countries, who had been terrified after receiving the invitations, to begin venting their emotions.
They had to admit that after receiving the invitation by their bedside, they were afraid, which meant that it wouldn't be a problem if the guy who broke into their house wanted to take their lives.
Now that the person who sent the invitation hasn't shown up, it means that the other party might be afraid of them, and that they are not incapable of protecting themselves if they unite.
"Once we get back, we must join forces to apprehend the person or organization that issued the invitation."
"That's right. Daring to break into our home is a heinous crime. The culprit must be found and hanged!"
"Buzz~"
Just as some people were spouting nonsense, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the ground.
What was that sound?
Not only the sound, but also the rhythmic vibrations of the ground soon followed.
"Look outside the city! What's that?!"
At the edge of the city wall, someone exclaimed in surprise.
The group of people lying on the city wall soon spotted a group of black knights rushing towards them on the distant horizon.
The black knights were all dressed in heavy, jet-black armor, and beneath them rode magnificent black unicorns. The sounds and the tremors on the ground seemed to be caused by the horses' hooves striking the ground in unison.
"Amplify the sound amplification spell from afar, gradually increasing it. Also, gradually strengthen the earthquake spell that only produces vibrations. Those casting illusion spells, be alert and don't get too close so that someone can immediately spot something amiss."
The group mingled among the crowd atop the fortress walls were issuing commands using telepathic magic, while the Crimson Demon Archmage in the Black Knight army was amplifying the effects of amplification spells used by those employing them, and the few using illusion magic were also gradually increasing their magical output.
Inside the fortress city, the Crimson Demons peered out the windows at the approaching Black Knight Legion, using a modified version of earthquake magic to create a realistic tremor for the guests participating in this large-scale murder mystery game.
"Fear magic, silently released among the crowd."
The riots began, and although the ancient King of Belzer 'timely' ordered the soldiers in the fortress to stop them, the oppressive atmosphere still spread to the nobles of various countries.
"Stop! Spread out, form a line, and block the illusory phantoms behind us!"
Darkness, clad in black armor, gave the performance command, and a group of black knights, played by elite royal knights of the Belze Kingdom, quickly dispersed and formed ranks.
With only three hundred of them, they managed to block the front of the three thousand phantom black knights created behind them using illusion magic.
Even those on the city wall, looking from a distance with binoculars, couldn't discern any difference between the black knights wearing visors.
Following the Black Knight Legion were high-level monsters brought over by the Archbishop of the Church of Axis, each monster bringing its own family.
Some even drove away the roaming monsters in the wilderness, which gathered into a beast tide and converged on the west side of the fortress city, stopping on both sides of the Black Knight Legion's array.
In the sky, there was a group of flying magical beasts, the most magnificent of which was a jet-black magical dragon, surrounded by a dozen or so giant dragons.
However, apart from the evil goddess who has temporarily regained her dragon form, all the other dragons seem to have a rather inconspicuous bump on the back of their heads.
Who could understand? They were just sleeping in the dragon's nest or out hunting when they encountered a humanoid monster that punched them and threatened them to participate in a large-scale murder mystery game.
The dragons didn't quite understand what a murder mystery game was, but when the other party said they would be eaten if they didn't obey, they actually smelled the scent of a dragon slayer on the other party. Having experienced the difference in strength and wanting to survive, the dragons obediently came over.
"Roar~"
At this moment, the dragons roared in the direction of the fortress city, expressing their grief and anger at being violently enslaved by monsters from another world.
"Humans, welcome to the birth celebration of this Demon King..."
The lines, practiced countless times, rang out from the head of the evil goddess's beast-like body.
Having grown a few points taller and sporting a more mature look, Huihui stood at the front of her master's head.
She wore a fiery red dress, and her hair, grown longer with hair growth serum, was dyed the same flame color as the dress.
The Crimson Demon girl, whose bust size had increased by at least three sizes due to the padding, exuded a dangerous yet alluring aura as she made her official entrance before the human guests of the super-large-scale scripted murder mystery game.
This disguise is so that she can live a normal life in the human world in the future. Although she still has seven or eight parts of Huihui's original appearance, she will never be regarded as a human being.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
"My name is Huihui, Hui as in the radiance of the sun. I am the newly born Demon King, and the greatest enemy of you humans!"
The amplification magic spread the girl's voice throughout the city, ensuring that every invited guest in the murder mystery game, both inside and outside the city, could clearly hear her speech.
"Is this considered a declaration of war?"
King Bradrue had a dark expression, while King Elode was pale, somewhat frightened by the scene outside the city. King Belzegu, on the other hand, remained calm, showing no sign of anything amiss.
"That being said, I have no interest in the extermination of humanity, which is why I invited you all to witness this ceremony."
"I just didn't expect you humans to be so hospitable, preparing such a generous gift for me before the banquet even started!"
"Da~"
Huihui snapped her fingers, and a roar came from afar in response. Soon, a group of wyverns of the sub-dragon species flew over.
Upon arriving here, they all landed. Soldiers jumped off the backs of the dragons and knelt down on one knee directly in the direction of the dragon with the Red Demon King standing on its head.
"Hey, aren't those your Kingdom of Bradru's dragon riders? Why are they here, and why are they kneeling before that Red Demon King?"
King Elrog recognized the types of soldiers and looked directly at King Bradru beside him, his eyes filled with suspicion and incomprehension.
"I don't know. I did bring them here, but I had them lie in ambush outside."
However, King Bradru was also bewildered at this moment. He had brought the Dragoon Regiment to deal with the Red Demon King.
If the Red Demon King doesn't appear, then taking advantage of the situation to capture the frontline fortress of the Belzeg Kingdom is not out of the question.
But the current situation is something he never expected.
"Commander Korda, what are you doing? Why are you kneeling before our enemy?!"
A messenger had already run to the top of the wall and was questioning the kneeling commander of the dragoon regiment.
"Enemies, no, we have already surrendered to Lord Crimson Demon King. We are now members of the Crimson Demon Army. At the same time, we are also loyal followers of Lady Regina, the Puppet and Goddess of Revenge. We are willing to give our lives for Lady Regina at any time."
With the titles of "puppet" and "nemesis" attached, the Dragon Riders' kneeling at this moment suddenly became a suitable explanation.
"Your Majesty, our dragon riders seem to have been manipulated."
This is precisely the ability of Celestina, the Dark Priestess and former intelligence officer of the Demon King's army.
Of course, with this Twilight Believer's abilities, he wouldn't normally be able to control so many dragon riders, since those being controlled would also resist.
But after Broly helped knock out the dragon riders, the dark priestess accomplished this by simply drinking over twenty mana potions.
The elite troops of the Kingdom of Bradru secretly infiltrated, but in front of the Saiyans who could sense ki, they were as insignificant as lice on a bald man's head.
Upon learning that such an elite army was lurking near the fortress city, You Gouhui promptly wrote a new script.
The Nemesis Cult thus gained a free dragon rider, and the great Scarlet Demon Queen Megumin also gained a corresponding opening intimidation effect.
King Bradru was numb, and King Elode was also an indecisive fellow. The two of them couldn't help but turn their gazes to the most reliable old king, Belzer.
The old king didn't say anything, but at this crucial moment, he stepped forward, became a new supporting character, and delivered his lines.
"What do you intend to do? If you wish to invade human territory, then so be it. The Demon King's army of the past has stopped here, and so will you!"
These words were spoken with righteous indignation, and the old king's personal charm was unleashed at this moment, making everyone around feel safer.
"King Belzegu, I have heard of your might..."
The supervillain Megumin chuckled and delivered a commercially scathing monologue to the ancient King of Belzer.
After expressing their respect for the human warrior king, they changed the subject.
"However, while your courage is commendable, unfortunately, I am no longer the useless demon king of the past!"
The old demon king, who was mingling among the ordinary people outside the city, twitched his lips twice as he heard Huihui's lines.
"Hmm, how can the debut of a new Demon King be without some beautiful fireworks? Bring me my staff~"
Huihui wanted to boast a bit more about her identity as the Demon King, but instead received a rather clever message.
The other party told her not to lower her standards by talking too much nonsense and to quickly move on to the next step of demonstrating her "power".
Broly, being more obedient, stepped forward disguised as a dwarf halfling. He retrieved a crimson staff from the Crystal Palace space—borrowed from the treasury of the Belzer Kingdom and now transformed into a more ornate form with triple the fire magic enhancement—and handed it over, respectfully saying, "Lord Crimson Demon King, your staff!"
"A blacker darkness than black, a darkness deeper than darkness itself..."
A cold, clear incantation rang out.
"Ah, she's chanting magic! It's an explosion spell! She's trying to bombard us with it?"
Inside the fortress city, some knowledgeable people recognized the magic represented by the incantation, and some panic ensued.
"Raise defensive magic."
Above the fortress city, numerous defensive magic arrays lit up.
Huihui ignored them and simply pointed her staff at the direction of her sacred manifestation (show-off) location, which she had been preparing for for more than half a month.
"All magic nodes are activated, and Megumin's magic has been channeled in. Everyone, we can teleport away from here now."
A group of Crimson Demons dressed in camouflage activated the magic nodes set up here. These magic nodes had only one function: to increase the maximum casting range and area of effect of magicians.
As long as there is enough magic power, theoretically, the wider this thing can spread, the wider the spellcasting range and area of the mage who is the linked entity can be.
However, the Crimson Demon Clan has set up over a thousand magic nodes on the desolate stage where they are showcasing the power of the Crimson Demon King over the past two weeks.
Its nodes cover an area that is over 50 kilometers long and over 7 kilometers wide.
Even if Megumin's magic power was reduced to a mountain-blasting level, it would be impossible for her to unleash such a large-scale explosion magic even if she were dried into a dried-up body. However, if Broly, the super power bank, were added, it would be a different story.
At this moment, Broly stood behind Megumin, his left hand reaching under the Great Scarlet Demon King's skirt from an angle that was absolutely invisible from the front.
Close to the groin area, which is where blood flows relatively quickly after the body is aroused.
Of course, the best location is actually the heart, as the magic will be transmitted faster, but this would make it easier for outsiders to see through the deception.
Therefore, it could only be this sensitive area, and Broly's energy flowed continuously into Megumin's body, which was currently being frantically drained of magic power by the explosion magic, from the contact surface.
Aqua's purification magic buff remained in effect, preventing Megumin from showing any outward signs of abnormality.
After she coldly pointed her staff towards the stage where she was displaying her power, countless exploding magic circles, stretching as far as the eye could see, obscured the sky over there.
To a better world, let us offer a small sun symbolizing nuclear peace!
"Explosion".
Unlike Megumin, who would shout out her explosive magic when casting spells, Megumin, as the Scarlet Demon King, simply uttered the line casually.
The next moment, a blazing little sun appeared in the world, and even from the universe, the dazzling light that erupted from this wasteland could be seen.
"Let the storm magic blow, creating aftershocks!"
"Black Knight, get your defenses ready. Don't let the phantom be blown away."
"Fortress City, take your positions! 3, 2, 1! Shatter some of the defensive magic circles!"
He's quite adept at managing the stage presence.
