Meanwhile, within the circle of demons, a larger magic circle appeared below some of their feet. And by the time they realised this, there was no more time to dodge.

BOOOM!!!

Plus, if they wanted to keep playing tricks, there was no way they were going to stop it. Necessary sacrifices were needed for their bigger goal.

The explosion of fire and lightning took the lives of thousands of demons. But compared to the total one million, that was probably just a drop in the ocean. The demons did not even stop, instead they kept pushing on forward and never looked back.

Back at the settlement, Nia frowned as her attack did far less damage than she anticipated. Enigma patted her shoulder and shook his head with a smile. Life was just this bitchy, well, he had no right to say that.

"Hmph~ Let's go, come on, don't be lazy." She pulled his hand enthusiastically as she went towards the center of the settlement. Seeing her, every dark elf decided to gather as well.

'.....'

Enigma was used to this and obediently followed after her. He was fine with anything as long as no one demanded or confessed to him. He was a married man...-to be, after all.

Fredrick, who was a former human who succumbed to the temptation of the demons, felt bitter being here. No, he did not even succumb, he was forced.

As mortals, their peak was the Saint realm. To go forward, they had to become superior beings. Either godhood, demonhood, angel-hood, or any other forms of superior races.

And Fredrick was a man abandoned by the gods. He used to be a strong Saint, personally working for the Sumerian Empire. But because of this and that, he became a demon and ascended to demon lord rank.

Anything below that was insignificant to mention. He was a new man, his past was his past, it had nothing to do with his life as a new person, a higher being, demon lord of fire, Fredrick.

As for how he came to this decision, it included many factors he had no say to, as well as the vast demonic power he has that was slowly corrupting his mentality.

Today, his mission was simple, to act as the leader of the three million demon army that was behind him. The remaining army and higher ups have gone into hiding in the folds of Space.

The strongest so far was himself, and five other demon lords. And he was of course stronger than them because of his vast amount of demonic power.

As for how he completely became a demon lord, that was a story for another time. For a lot of things he did not want to talk about were involved in the process.

"....."

Under his lead, the demon army marched on, and a ten mile distance was easily covered within an hour of their marching, reaching the settlement before noon.

He had to make things look "normal", in other words, to put his all into it and acting as if he was the only saving grace for the demons in order to confuse the enemies.

Because of that, the attack on the settlement was not lousy at all. In fact, the army was divided into four sections, each of 750 000 demons within, along with a demon lord as a leader.

The settlement had a bad choice in choosing a geographical landscape. The east was a very dark forest, though favorable for dark elves, it was also a good place to sneak up from as long as he took out the scouts immediately.

The demon lord of the east side used a unique skill that managed to put the entire forest into Tranquility. Every dark elf was put to sleep, and killed silently as they sneaked up towards the settlement.

How could mortals go against the effects of unique skills? If they had no requirements to use such skills unless that had boundless Mana or were very talented.

The west, along with the south, which was the front, were plain. The west and south demon lords had no choice but to alert the dark elves with their attack, but that didn't matter.

The north side was a small river, though small, it's width was a mile long. And the current was powerful enough to cut the legs of an advance warrior effortlessly, let alone mortals.

The demon lord this side used almost all of his power to freeze the river. Of course, the dark elves were long aware of their existence at this rate. But even then, seeing 750 000 demons was too much for just over 10 000 dark elves.

Let alone the other three sides. Even if they were alerted, the poor dark elves had no choice but to tremble as they retreated back. And that was not all, Fredrick and his assistant, a fellow demon lord appeared above the settlement and looked down on it with pure and utter disdain.

The presence he let out ws comarable to a lesser demon lord in terms of demonic power reserves. Thus, from one stand point, he truly had every right to look down on them.

Vast demonic power, three million demons, five demon lords, unmatched might and authority, all under his command. Why would he not he arrogant at all?

Plus, the sin he chose to ascend with, was Pride. Thus he was all the more affected with pride and arrogance. And the more it affected, the stronger he became.

This was a perk of being a demon. A purebred epic race, far above even the unique elves, and the mundane ordinary human he was before. With this in mind, he smiled as he spoke out towards the settlement.

"Pitiful elves, lower your heads, bow and accept the favor of our lord. Struggling is pointless and will only lead to unnecessary death. My lord is magnanimous, thus he will accept any of you regardless of how impure you are."

He spread out his arms as he channeled his mana to his throat and sent his voice throughout the settlement. With their pride, there was definitely no way the elves will accept this.

And he was on point.

A being flew up from below, almost at the same height as he was. Looking closely, Fredrick saw a small being, around thirty centimeters tall. Whatever it was, it had feather wings too small for a purpose, small bumps on its forehead and a cute almost unnoticeable tail.

He was not sure what species it was, but in Terra, there were more than ten thousand races, why bother overthink things with just one standing before him?

It was non other than En Gula.

Enigma realised that ten centimeters was too short, and chances of losing them were quite high. So, he used fifty units, which was 99% of all of his faith points, to increase their heights to thirty centimeters.

Unfortunately their mentality was still around that of a two year-olds. But it was not something that would stop them from fighting when they felt threatened.

En Gula did not say anything and just curiously stared at Fredrick with his big innocent eyes. His gaze held no emotions nor feelings, more like looking at a piece of food he was not sure of how it would taste.

"And who might you be?" For some reason, Fredrick felt pissed off the more he saw En Gula's gaze. As a human, he was sensitive to such glares, that looked down on everything.

Especially now so as a follower of the Lord of Pride. The feeling was strange, and he did not know how to respond to it now that he was a full-fledged Demon Lord.

"...."

En Gula did not say anything, instead, the little boy just raised up his hand and pointed it at Fredrick. He was only devoted to Enigma, and Enigma's orders were to repel the intruders, so he will only repel.

Anything else was of no matter to him.

Anything else beyond that, except eating, will be ignored. And Enigma said he can eat anything he wants throughout the mission. And Fredrick was looking hella tasty right now.

As for Fredrick himself, he did not understand what was going on, but when he saw that hand, he felt uneasy. He was a veteran warrior before this after all.

"Glu...ttony..." Gula muttured his very first word, albeit a bit awkwardly. But the power that he released was not awkward at all.

Boundless green mist gathered above his palm and shot out forward like a vigorous snake bite. Fast, swift and unpredictable. Almost rivaling light in speed alone.

One of the demon lords besides Fredrick fell victim to the mist, as it bit and grabbed on Jim as fast as it appeared, before reverting back and was absorbed towards the little boy.

En Gula did not comment and just opened his small and cute mouth to swallow the gluttonous green mist that carried the unlucky demon lord just like that. Instantly gone.

Everything happened swift and fast, so fast that every elf and demon froze. Even Fredrick froze stiff as he saw something as terrifying as that. Regret was slowly welling up within his stomach.
