The location where the Demon King's army was stationed was once a kingdom as prosperous as the Empire.

But, despite its glorious history and tradition, that legacy was now being thoroughly trampled by the demons.

They had no intention of preserving those traces.

To a group devoid of morals and ethics, if they need something, it's simpler to seize it from others than to create it themselves.

"That woman is really one of the Four Heavenly Kings?"

At that moment, one of the highest-ranking officials among the belligerent group crossed the ruined castle.

The attention of the demons, previously chattering around, quickly shifted to her.

"She does look like a jester, fitting the title 'the Frenzied Young Jester'... but she seems weak."

Blue skin, pointed ears. Shimmering amber eyes.

And a tuxedo and silk hat, attire that hardly suits demons who take fighting as their profession.

Her strength not being outwardly visible, it was natural for demons unaware of her to underestimate her.

"Come to think of it, they say she hardly ever went to the battlefield. Maybe it's because she's just old and weak?"

"Why not challenge her? If I take her down, I could become the second-highest in the Demon King's army..."

"Newbies, if you value your lives, it's better to just watch quietly."

However, this ruined castle also housed several high-ranking demons who had gathered experiences across multiple dimensions.

When they saw that young jester, the emotion they exhibited was nothing but fear.

"Don't underestimate her. Why would you say that?"

"Well, as soon as she entered this world, this palace was destroyed overnight because of that jester. Do you have the confidence to kill and win if those guys next to you charge at you all at once?"

"That, that's impossible. Maybe one or two, but..."

"It's the sinister point of that jester to make them drop such thoughts and charge, only to be led to their death."

A terrifying disaster, not about oppressing individuals with strength, but driving groups to madness, leading them to kill each other.

Anyone who knows her hideousness wouldn't dispute the fact that she's the second in rank in the Demon King's army.

Unless one is of the same Four Heavenly Kings rank, no one here could stand in her way.

"Oh my, who do we have here~ Isn't this our cute and lovely Mephi~?"

Her stride across the castle halted at the endearment uttered by that figure.

Turning her gaze, she saw a demon softly gliding down from mid-air.

"It's been a while, Mephi♡ You're back earlier than planned... Perhaps you returned early because you missed me?"

A female demon, revealing much more skin than herself, creating a contrast.

Her seductive charm symbolized the desire she possessed.

"...Yasmo."

Death Monger Demon - Yasmo Deus.

A monster of lust from the Demon King's army, ranked fifth and one of the Four Heavenly Kings, known for draining the life force of the opposite sex until death, as per its nickname.
