Chapter 217 – Demon King
Unlike the royal descendants belonging to the “Shutra faction”, Anastasia did not know about the secret of Ingun’s birth. Nevertheless, the Sword of the Duke declared without any doubt that the Ingun could be restored if given into the hands of the Gandharvas.
All the races inhabiting the Demon World were similar to each other: they had approximately the same appearance and body structure. It was the same with the succubi, so she thought it was the same with the Gandharvas. Together with this, they were all different in their own way. However, since the Duke’s Sword himself said this, then she would have believed, even if this story were even more absurd. Without exception, the children of the Demon King considered the Duke’s Sword to be something indestructible, and his word was extremely reliable.
And now, instead of wasting time on meaningless doubts, Anastasia began to act. She activated a protective barrier that could stop the cold and blizzard, and then carefully examined the magic that Zephyr used. The 2nd Prince did use a time-stopping spell, which he said should have bought some time.
Felicia, meanwhile, took up helping Ishgard. Thanks to Ingun, she became a real expert in the field of restoration magic. The Duke’s Sword’s aura was pretty frayed, but compared to Ingun, it was the most common symptom. Thus, the elf tried to help the Duke’s Sword as much as possible.
While Felicia was busy healing, the other children of the Demon King did not sit idly by either.
Chris instructed Caitlyn to see how the two Saints were doing. After performing real miracles twice in a row, both girls were severely emaciated. Besides, the 8th Princess just had to be distracted.
Sylvan went with Caitlin. After the plan of action was approved, the comrades had to take care of the troops. The bloody battle was over, but in such cold weather the warriors could not count on normal rest.
Chris looked at the two people, and then went to the Duke’s Sword, near which stood Baikal and Zephyr.
– The Winter King is defeated, – Ishgard squeezed out of himself. Chris knew only that the Duke’s Sword was fighting him, and therefore, hearing this, his eyes went to his forehead.
The Winter King was the king of the northern barbarians. The containment of this creature was the biggest reason the captains remained at the Aegis Gate.
However, the Winter King lost the battle and was killed. This was really good news for the Demon King’s army. Perhaps the plan to reinforce the Aegis Gate with royal children will be canceled altogether.
The Duke’s sword tried to normalize its breathing and closed its eyes, as if it was about to fall unconscious.
– I have to get to the Gandharvas together with the 9th Prince… But I don’t think that I can be conscious for a while. Please do whatever is necessary, “he muttered.
– Of course, the Duke’s Sword. You can rest, – Baikal readily offered him, to which Ishgard nodded and closed his eyes again. As soon as the Duke’s Sword did this, he immediately lost consciousness.
Felicia noticed Baikal’s concern and explained:
– Everything is all right, he just fell asleep. His body went into this state in order to better recover.
For some reason, it seemed that in the next few days the Duke’s Sword is unlikely to open his eyelids. However, there was someone else standing next to them who could take them to the Gandharvas.
After a while, Indara approached the group, who, after carefully examining the Duke’s Sword, took a deep breath and bowed to the children of the Demon King. Baikal saw Indara for the first time, but Chris and Felicia were already familiar with him and let the warrior approach the lying Ishgard, and therefore Baikal did not object.

– We must hurry. I’m worried about Shutra.
– Yes, brother, – Felicia smiled tightly and went back to Ingun, next to whom stood Karrak, Vandal and Nayatra.
Baikal looked at his friends, and then turned his gaze to the place where Locke stood motionless, not taking his eyes off Ingun.
– Chris, I’m sorry, may I ask you to introduce us?
Locke also saw Baikal for the first time, and therefore asked Chris to introduce them. And so, Chris looked at the warrior and, without calling him, answered:
– His name is Locke. He seems to be a warrior from the Human World. He joined us already outside the northern border.
– Warrior? From the Human World? – asked the astonished Baikal. Zephyr, meanwhile, did not even raise an eyebrow, as if he already knew all this.
– Yes, but a very strong warrior. He said that he came here to make sure that the war in the Demon World would not spill over into the Human World.
– War? Against Schutenberg?
– Something like this. His companions are the Saint and King of the Mercenaries.
Over the entire period of its existence, Archilich Schutenberg managed to demonstrate many of his amazing abilities. That he was able to create such a powerful magic circle, even if it took decades, was a clear indication of his greatness.
Moreover, Schutenberg attracted the Winter King to this battle, which emphasized the presence of Archilich’s close ties with the northern barbarians. If Schutenberg had summoned all the northern barbarians here, the battle would have been much larger.
– Saint and King of the Mercenaries… – muttered Baikal, looking towards Locke’s comrades.
Perhaps Baikal was simple-minded, but far from stupid and by no means the most gullible. Unlike Chris, who had already spent several days side by side with Locke, Baikal did not have enough information to form his own impression of him. He didn’t know if he could trust this man. Should he leave his younger brothers and sisters unattended alone with this warrior?
Right now, Shutra was in an unconscious state, and therefore there was no one left in the “Shutra group” who, if anything, could stop this person. The battle against Schutenberg proved that Locke is much stronger than Chris. However, Baikal decided to trust him. This was an exception to all the rules, but Baikal saw respect in Chris’s eyes for this person.
– Unfortunately, further our paths will diverge.
Of course, they would have been better off staying together, but that was unwise. At this stage, the group should have split up.
– The Duke’s Shutra and Sword… Chris, Felicia and Caitlin, please take care of them. I must return to the Aegis Gate and report the situation to the captains.
– Yeah hyung.
Baikal offered a quite expected option. The flow of magical power beyond the northern border was so chaotic that telecommunication magic was virtually inaccessible. Therefore, someone needed to go to the Gate of the Aegis to tell about what happened.
– What are you going to do, Zephyr?
“I’ll go back north,” Zephyr answered quickly. His answer was also expected, and therefore Baikal simply smiled. He would like to entrust the escort of the Shutra group to the 2nd Prince.
Although he trusted Chris’s eyes, his concern for his younger siblings persisted. Shutra fell, and therefore Zephyr was the only one who could oppose Locke.
“This is really amazing.”
Baikal heard that Shutra became stronger, but he would never have thought that so. He saw the battle only from afar, but at the first glance he realized that Shutra is currently on the same level with Zephyr. And maybe even stronger.
Baikal remembered the Shutra that it saw last year. Since then, there have been great changes. And before that, they had no contact at all – at best, their connection was supported by a couple of gifts a year.
Baikal closed his eyes, trying to spread all his conclusions about the Shutra on the shelves. Even if his talent belatedly blossomed, he was still simply incredible.
However, there were much more pressing questions now.
Thus, Baikal gathered its troops and moved towards the Gate of the Aegis.
Meanwhile, Zephyr stood alone and looked at the place where the black sun disappeared. Then he turned and looked at the Shutra group. The succubus, who knew the whereabouts of the Gandharvas, stood next to Vandal with a worried face.
For some reason, Zephyr seemed to know her. When he first saw this girl, he felt a strange connection with her, like when he first saw Vandal or Sectum. Zephyr’s gaze shifted to the side – to where Locke stood. The warrior was looking at Zephyr too.
Warrior of the Human World…
Locke’s appearance was an unexpected variable, but Zephyr was not unfriendly to him. On the contrary, to some extent he even greeted him. This warrior helped greatly in the battle against Schutenberg.
Zephyr closed his eyes. He took a deep breath and cleared his doubts about Shutra from his head. His power, demonstrated during the fight with Schutenberg, was somewhat reminiscent of the power of Death and War, but at the same time it was somehow different. Perhaps it was just a false alarm.
Death and War… Only these words could describe the energy and views that he constantly felt on himself from the north.
Zephyr opened his eyes abruptly and looked north. He felt nothing like it now. Perhaps the gaze of War and Death was blocked by a strong whirlwind of magical power, which was quite real.
However, Zephyr still felt anxious. He was always watched during big battles, and this time was an exception.
Why? Was it because he went too far north?
Zephyr spun around mechanically, and his gaze turned to the south.
***
The Demon King’s palace was huge. It was also the most fortified city of the Demon World, protected by high and strong walls. The Demon King’s palace has never been taken over by anyone. However, no one dared to attack him.
However, all this is now behind us.
The Demon King’s palace was on fire. The force of the War spilled out and consumed the Demon King’s Palace entirely. The flames were so high that even the black sky turned red.
The War Knight walked through blazing flames. As always, there was a War with him. Standing in the middle of this burning world, the woman in red closed her eyes and calmly counted out: “500 years.”
That was the length of the Demon King’s Palace. Compared to the millennia of the existence of this world, this period of time was rather short.
Ever since the War awakened a thousand years ago, she has continuously watched the Demon King’s Palace.
Support from the Sanctuary has been disabled. Either way, the Demon King’s Palace was not destined to stand for thousands of years.
Someone screaming in the distance. Compared to the defenders on the walls, these warriors were much stronger. It may have been the Demon King’s own royal guard.
The War Knight slowly raised his sword, and the woman in red let out an anticipatory groan. The real bloody massacre was about to begin.
War felt this and was delighted. Burning with impatience, she looked at the Black Castle, which was called the true Palace of the Demon King.
The one who defended the Demon World…
The most powerful man in the Demon World.
He was approaching.
