"I've been waiting for that!"
He pulled from under his robe some sort of crystal ball. I don't know what he's planning, but there's nothing my Azure Dragon Strike can't destroy. Or at least that's what I thought.
"What?"
The attack was being absorbed inside the sphere. That shouldn't be possible. What's more…
"What… the fuck… is happening to me!?"
I felt weaker and weaker. My blue flames were being sucked as well. I… I can't maintain my Deus EX…
"DO IT NOW!"
One of the 3 masked guys pulled out a golden sword and charged towards me. Damn it! My body is still numb. I can't react. Guess I need to take the hit and rely on my Phoenix Resurrection. Or so I thought at least. His blade passed through my body as if it was a ghost. I felt nothing. Eventually my body started to work again after he drained my flames.
"What the hell did you to me?"
I could clearly see my flames swirling inside his sphere.
"Your power is necessary for our goal. So I simply took it."
"I'll make you regret that. [Thousand Tears]!"
I tried chanting a spell to blow them all up at once… but nothing happened.
"Hahaha! Do you understand now? That golden sword was the legendary Magic Slayer. As you stand now, you have no shred of magic power left!"
I slightly lower my head and shoulders.
"Our Master told me to make you an offer. Join us! Join our sacred mission of making this world a paradise. Observe."
The stone on his ring once again glowed and more warriors were summoned. They all took off their masks.
"Nya!! No way! That's impossible! Those are the first 11 Demon Kings. The very first generation! Our ancestors-nya!"
Persia was shocked. And frankly I was too. I don't know them, but I do know that bringing people back from the dead is impossible. Well, although there is a way to ressurect someone within 10 seconds of death; if you die of natural death that's it. You're gone. And reincarnation is something only the gods can do. But that doesn't matter right now. After a brief moment 8 of them once again disappeared.
"Sorry, but unfortunately I wasn't granted the power to keep all 11 around for too long. But these 3 are more than enough. The Demon Kings of Wrath, Savagery and Kindness. Well? Now that you saw a glimpse of the power we have, what will you do?"
"Screw you!"
"Such a shame. Then I shall claim your soul!"
He waved his hand and the so called Demon King of Savagery charged at me like a while beast. He hand long claws and a face full of claws a true madman. He wanted to slice me up, however…
"Naive."
Before the old man realized, I already sent his warrior crashing into the dome's wall.
"What…!?"
Close your mouth. You'll catch flies. The seventh stance, Hollow Fist. Persia's technique connected just like I thought it would.
"Did you honestly think that you can beat me just by removing my ability to use magic?"
Even if you cut my magic power, mana still flows through my body. My physical strength hasn't dropped at all. I'm actually curious what that golden sword did exactly, but that can wait.
The mad warrior once again stood up and charged at me. This time I grabbed both of his arms.
"That's it! Now make her one with the… Eh!?"
The reason why he was surprised again was because I didn't budge a single inch. Your strength isn't half bad but… too weak. I lifted him in the air and slammed him on the ground. After that I spinned him around and threw him away again.
"The likes of you can never hope to beat me."
I reached for my shadow. For some reason my shadow inventory still works. So I pull out my orichalcum sword.
"Let me show you what it means to challenge a Demon King on his own territory!"
"Kill her! Blast her! Do something!"
"[Dinas Blast]!"
Never heard of that spell before. But apparently, like a machine gun, multiple baseball sized yellow orbs were headed for me. Are you trying to restrict my movements? Sorry to disappoint you, but dodging won't be necessary. My sword almost looked like a spinning whip. None of the balls hit me. I sliced all off them.
"Perpetual Slashes!"
The Demon King of Wrath drew a new sword and came right at me. I can tell that he's an excellent swordsman. His speed can even rivals Ornis. However…
"Too slow. Unlimited…"
My body disappeared from were I was standing and appeared behind him. A barrage of slashes ran across his body, cutting him down. Blood scattered everywhere.
"...Sword Strikes!"
Unfortunately for him, Lorina is way better. Although she herself didn't manage to learn it. This can potentially break your arm off. But she's an excellent teacher. Just by explaining the stance and moveset, with a little trial and error I managed to learn it.
"No… this… can't be happening…"
I swiftly moved and also slashed the other too. I striked at their bodies continuously without stopping. The sword swings and attacks echoed loudly. Maintaining a strong grip, pushing the wrist to it's limits, making a circle motion… for the untrained eye it all looks like a single attack, but I'm consecutive slashing. The other 2 Demon Kings also fell before me. They aren't weak, but because I am taking them by surprise, their guard is low.
"Haaa!"
I finally move on and pierce the old guys' heart.
"GuUuAAhh!"
He violently coughed blood.
"This… this can't… Take… take the crystal!"
With his last sheer of power he threw the crystal ball in which he sealed my flames to the other 2 outside the dome. How the hell was that ball able to get across? He then collapsed and the dome shrunk, releasing me. At the same time a violent light surrounded his body. He was dead. The 2 thugs were preparing to take their leave.
"Hey! We're not done here! Restore Teri or else…"
But unfortunately my body was wobbling. Unlimited Sword Strikes is something that drains almost all stamina.
"Hmph. If you want her back you have to beat all of us, not just one of us. We'll meet again soon."
They then vanished through some sort teleport spell. Damn it! Damn it! I swear I'll kill all of you! The world isn't big enough for you guys to hide from me. I won't rest until I get Teri back. This… I swear!
Uh-oh... insanity will spread and destroy everything...
Thank for the chapter?
Guess I need to take the hit and relly(rely) on my Phoenix Resurrection. But unfortunately my body was wobling(wobbling).
fixed
Thnx for the chapter nya! ☕️
Thanks for the chapter ??
Now that I've stopped to think about it. Would Milla try to get into the panties of a dullahan loli if she had the chance, or, a girl with a disconnected head, wouldn't it be her taste?
Thanks for the chapter
Asking the important questions I see
@Ata_ Well, if I were to ask something about this chapter, Waxford wouldn't answer for being a spoiler. So I decided to ask about a hypothetical situation.
And also because since I started reading https://www.novelupdates.com/series/rose-princess-of-hellrage-although-i-got-killed-for-political-reasons-i-got-revived-as-the-strongest-undead/ I have been thinking about dullahan lolis frequently.
@Gin0001 Is it any good?
I actually never thought about something like that. I think in a scenario like that my Milla would most likely just grab the head and make it like her
@Ata_ Yes it's good. It is a perfect example of the saying "We are the ones who create our own monsters."...
I particularly loved the gapmoe, from when it was shown that although she was slaughtering everything on her way to get even and has memories of a past life as an adult, René was still a little girl in the background. Whose greatest desire is to have a mother to comfort her, but since even that, she was denied it. Because they tortured her mother until her mind broke and she was reduced to that of an animal. René remains attached to revenge, to repay the suffering and injustice they have given her, even though keeping her hatred burning is also torture.
Note: this novel has the tag "shoujo-ai subplot" and it looks like it will take time for translation to reach the part where shoujo-ai starts.
@Waxford So, just as I imagined, not even a 130 cm tall undead loli, who appears to be 10 years old at most, is outside Milla's attack zone, huh.
Is there any type or race of girl that doesn't fit Milla's strike zone?
But I doubt that Milla would be able to catch her with her guard totally down, as as an Abyss Spirit variant René has the passive ability to feel the emotions of others. And she is skilled enough with this to use as a lie detector. Although I doubt that René has the experience to be able to recognize Milla's lust right away...
Not to mention that René is very lacking in affection and petting since his mother was murdered. So Milla could use that, right?
Would Milla be okay, even with René's lich, revenant, and ghost forms? After all, as a variant of Abyss Spirit she is able to switch between all the races of the undead, in order to use her strengths.

Note: In the form of a dullahan, René covers both sides of her severed neck with a magic circle made of her own blood, which in addition to hiding the wound, also serves to hold her head in place. Although the strength of the connection is like that of a magnet. And when the head is in place, the magic circle looks like a tattoo like a red choker.
@Gin0001 eh... I don't really know what to say. I guess not
@Waxford Are you answering "no" to just the first question or all?
@Waxford @Ata_ What I marked as a spoiler is no big deal, so you can read it without fear, which practically won't ruin the surprise of this novel.
@Gin0001 yeah. No is the answer just to the first question
@Waxford So Milla eats any type of humanoid girl as long as she is pretty or cute and doesn't have a rotten personality, right?
Does Milla also like girls, whose minds are also twisted like hers to some degree?
Did you ever read the questions inside the spoiler area? There I wrote about the difficulties and facilities, which I think Milla would have when trying to seduce René, based on what I know about her today.
@Waxford I also put a link to an image in the spoiler area, which shows the shapes that René takes in each of her modes...
@Gin0001 I read the spoiler area, but too lazy to answer everything
@Waxford ...I understand.
So based on what I told you about René, do you think Milla would have an easy or difficult time, trying to win her trust and seduce her?
@Gin0001 more like... She would probably stay at Milla's side to test her at first, then slowly fall for her.
@Waxford Yes, this is very likely. and I also think that René would end up being Milla's slowest achievement.
But would Milla have enough patience to do this, without scaring and chasing René away?
@Gin0001 probably.
