Beyond the Virge

Chapter 18: New Suit

"58,000 kills. Not bad for a beginning demon wanting to reach the ranks," The demon says.

"I've killed more humans than monsters at this point. It's an odd, but the good feeling I started to muster."

"Clover, are you alright?" Rii asks me.

"I'm completely fine. Burn the kingdom with everything you got." Rii nods and uses her magic powers to freeze and crush the kingdom. Even though she looked like she was one to enjoy destruction.

The news of Kiminoa's destruction was of course told by all of the kingdoms, not only Irelia was told about, but other kingdoms were too. Soldiers from Peotha from the desert, Slaepitis from the high mountains, Buneil from the swamps, and Vrinad from the snowing scapes were coming. It's a good thing I told Queen Tanne about what will happen within these few days.

As I looked at the crushed buildings and burning shops of Kiminoa, I felt a strong wind from behind me. I know it's a person just by its aura. I take a deep breath as I continue to gaze on the destruction. "Quite the destruction you have here. I sense great power in you young demon lord candidate. I think you'd quite fit in as the demon king."

I turn around to the sight of another demon lord. It was a woman as well. Her skin was light, her hair red as blood and her outfit represents the blood moon with dazzling armor shining on the sunlight. "You must be a demon lord I assume."

She nods, "Indeed. I am Trarkoz of the Blood Moon. It's a pleasure meeting you."

"It's an honor. Now, what is your purpose in seeing me?" I ask to have my hand on my gun.

"I'm in no favor in fighting. I am here just to test you if you are worthy of becoming a demon lord yourself. You are already part demon due to eating one of the lower class demons, but your ambition and power made you more powerful than that demon."

Okay, that was just rude. I hear the demon say in my head.

I smirk, "Then let me impress you, demon lord," I say.

"I'm looking forward to it."

"All we have to do now is wait."

"Excuse me?" she asks.

"Basically, I killed the king of Kiminoa and Irelia."

"Two powerful kings at once huh? Impressive."

"I guess, now that other kings with their armies are coming. I must prepare my traps."

I called Rii to call the others and told them what I was up to. Of course, they didn't agree at all to what I had in mind, but if it's an easier way to get home, they're fine with it. I told the others to help me lay traps and dummy people around the kingdom with a Haywire trap within it so I could capture multiple troops at once. I then laid traps on the front bridge. Rii and Umi summoned dummy archers around the castle walls. I can feel my dark aura getting stronger as my thirst for blood rises.

As the days pass, the sight of 500,000 troops appears in front of the kingdom walls. I decided to face them myself. As Rii turns into a dragon, I was flown to the leaders of the armies.

"Demon, show yourself and surrender the power of the Mongolian kingdoms!"

I chuckle, "I am Clover Imaizumi," I decided to not hide it anymore. "I am tasked to kill each and every one of you to get me the hell off of this world. I won't surrender, but by the power invested in me, all of you shall bow or face the wire."

"I refuse and challenge you!"

"Then so be it." I fly back to the palace, hearing the others charging in.

From above, I started to see the skeletons release fire upon the soldiers. I pull one of my fingers as a thousand troops scale the bridge, causing the bridge to create a spike within the bridge, impaling them all. As the blood on the bridge continues, some of them are able to come from the walls. Some of them even were able to climb off the wall and overrun the skeletons. It's a good thing traps were also armed in the skeletons.

It was a long and hard battle...Well...not really. I just sat around seeing the blood of hundreds of thousands of troops fall to the ground under my wire. One of the kings fell for one of the pedestrian traps. It was down from 500,000 to 600 in under a few hours. I decided to finish off some of the rest of the troops with my team. As we group in the center of the kingdom, we shoot first at the soldiers, annihilating each and every one of them. None of the kings stood a chance either. They all turned into pieces of history.

"Clover Imaizumi, I'm quite impressed by your ways of fighting. Using the sacred weapons against your own. It makes my blood boil."

"I assume you're quite attracted by my battle strategies. I'm quite flattered by Lord Trarkoz."

She chuckles, "Now as the order of business, it is my turn to have some fun with you,~," she says, licking her lips.

"Hold on! What do you mean!?" Rii says, grabbing me.

"Oh my, could you two be lovers?"

"I-"

"Indeed we are!"

I then felt a few pairs of arms hold onto me.

"H-Hey!"

"Oh my, even your sister is part of your little harem young demon."

"It's not what it looks like!"

"I'm quite jealous actually."

"If you want to join, you're going to have to fight us!" Rii says, getting ready to cast a spell.

"If I win, then I will join your little party.
