1930 The Demon King's Army Approaches



-----

Meanwhile, within Grand Terra, as an alliance between Frank, Ervas, Veronica, and Kireina was made, alongside the three Major Nations of the Realm, the Empire of Humans, the Elven Country, and the Dwarven Kingdom, their peaceful and joyous feast was interrupted by a terrifying tremor!

RUMBLE!!!

The laughter of the Demon King could be heard from within the depths of his enormous castle, as his powers exuded a tremendous, world-ending catastrophe! It felt as if he had been just waiting for all the pieces to get together…

So he could crush them all at once!

"Hahahaha…! HAHAHAHA! Stay where you are! This show is just about to start, Kireina… Everyone!" His red eyes glowed brightly as his purple hair waved from the very energy his body exuded.

Chaotic cracks in the ground emerged one after another, as Kireina and everyone else with her at the moment watched in shock at the scene! Utter chaos and destruction spread throughout everywhere!

"T-The earth is shattering apart?!" The Dwarf King was flabbergasted. "T-The Demon King! What is he doing?!"

"His powers have grown so far already?! He's shattering everything around his territory! Chaos… and Miasma are surging everywhere!" Henrietta, the young Human Empress panicked.

"Is this his true power?" The Elven King asked.

Not only cracks in the earth opened, as chaos and miasma surged from within them almost endlessly, but also large towers emerged one after another. And once they opened, near-endless armies of monsters started emerging.

And they were all directing their attention to the Dwarven Stronghold City, the last stand in front of the Demon Territory, better known as the Wastelands.

"My lord! Armies of monsters… thousands, maybe millions are rushing into our territory! They're even climbing the mountains!" A guard ran to report the current events.

"I can already tell, dumbass!" The Dwarf King sighed. "Gather all the soldiers and the golems as well! We need to defend our country with everything we've got!"

"The human empire won't hold back either! We shall deploy our forces!" Henrietta said, her bright red armor shining. "Aurora, I'm counting on you!"

"Sure." Aurora nodded.

"I guess there's no helping it… Things are starting much faster than I imagined." The Elven King sighed. "Our troops have already arrived here."

"But would that be enough?!" Asked Elfina. "Those monsters are at minimum B+++ Rank! Are your troops capable of fighting such powerful beings?!"

The three rulers glanced at one another, and smiled.

"Girl, I know you're this guy's daughter, but you're severely underestimating Dwarven Magic Technology." The Dwarf King smiled, as he raised his hand, countless metallic pieces were summoned in an instant.

CLANK! CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!

The metals assembled together into a pair of gigantic metallic arms that grew behind him, armor covering the rest of his body except his head, which was covered by a big helmet.

Elfina dropped her jaw in shock, and so did most of the other members of Kireina's party that had yet to learn of the dwarf King's true power.

"This is part of our Unique Magic and Classes. Mechanical Assembler." The Dwarf King smiled. "Our golems and technology are unparalleled in this world! This is the ancient power the Gods of this world left to us."

The dwarf king alone exuded the aura of an S+ Rank monster, if not slightly stronger than that… He wasn't the King of a nation without being strong himself! Naturally, he was incredibly high leveled too, and so did most of the dwarves, thanks to their technology, raiding dungeons and leveling up wasn't hard.

"Although our troops have been weakened due to the previous war… That doesn't mean there aren't brave fighters within my empire." Henrietta said, her eyes glowing bright red.

The Blood Stigma in her right hand spread a black and red tattoo resembling blood and bats across the rest of her body. Her strength growing tremendously high, as all the condensed vampire abilities and powers she took away from her malicious siblings and family merged into her body.

Kireina was even reminded of Agatheina's aura for a few seconds, of a powerful, domineering Vampire Goddess! And while holding on her enormously large, red colored battle axe, which was a demonic weapon imbued with her powers, she also exuded the strength of an S+ Rank being, if not stronger.

"My daughter, you've underestimated me a bit…" Elfina's father laughed, as he smiled gently, exuding an all-powerful primordial aura.

Thousands of small Elemental Spirits gathered around his body at once, his aura resembled the embodiment of the rainbow.

Amongst these three rulers, Elfina's father was the strongest!

"They didn't used to call me the "Divine Spirit King" for nothing, dear." He laughed a bit. "You can trust us and also our troops."

"It seems that there's nothing to worry about." Kireina smiled. "See, Elfina? Trust their strength a bit more. They're not the same as before. Especially the troops. After all, Ervas and Veronica have helped them strengthen them as well, isn't it?"

"Well, I guess you got us there." Veronica laughed.

"Follow us, everyone, let's gather in the frontlines." Ervas said. "The battle is about to begin."

Kireina and the rest of her party made haste, emerging in front of the Kingdom's Gates as the gathering of troops was happening, thousands of enormous golems gathered, resembling stocky and large spherical robots, usually copper colored, and overflowing with mana.

The human troops were equipped with special black and red colored armor and weapons, which channeled the power of their Empress' tremendously strong Blood Stigma, these equipment were designed by Veronica, who was a powerful Living Armor herself, using her own body as materials, such items were top-notch, even if the Veronica that was here was just a fragment of the real deal.

In fact, the golems had also been upgraded with her divine metal creation, and above all, the elves have been not only blessed by the power of the Divine Spirit King, but with Ervas' powerful Nature and Life Magic, strengthening them even further.

RUMBLE!

The endless wave of monstrous miasmic creatures continued rushing towards the mountains, in just a few minutes, they would finally arrive.

Kireina stood in front of the entire army, with her allies at her side.

"Let's do this…. [Divine Swarm of Gluttony]!"
