The Rise Of The Demon King Kei

Chapter 42

Hayato: Alright, the upper rank summon is now in session.
Zitia: Upper 2, what is this about right now. And why isn't Lord Kei here for this meeting?
Hayato: There's a reason why he isn't here. It's important for him to not know what we're trying to do for Legion.
Zika: And what is that supposed to be exactly?
Hayato: It's simple, Lord Kei has been reaching his boiling point about everything dealing with the gods, so my suggestion is the upper ranks should handle one of the gods.
Kya: Why would you want us to do that? Shouldn't we waiting for the Lord Kei orders about that.
Hayato: You're new to the upper ranks so I'll let you slide, but the reason why is because I think the reason why the remaining gods are still alive is because of the lower rank demon of Legion. Dealing with the two strongest gods is a job for the upper ranks and the Demon King.
Uki: That's understandable, but again we can't make a decision on our own without the permission of the demon king. You and I both know if do something without the demon king's approval we might get killed.
Hayato: That's unfortunate.
Zakinthos: You knew that would be the outcome Upper 2.
Hayato:Tsk, damnit. We need to do something about this.
Kya: I may have a suggestion.
Zika: What is it?
Kya: Well, I'm Lord Kei's favorite and he sees the potential in me, so I can ask me myself.
Uki: Oh great, just because you think Lord Kei favorites you he will approve what we're trying to do.
Kya: Why wouldn't he allow his upper rank demons handle this situation we're in. We all are far stronger than the lower ranks and plus Upper 1 is on par or close to the demon king. We have a chance to take down one of the gods then the strongest god can be for all of us. Just allow me to talk to him that's all I ask.
Zakinthos: It's worth a shot. I'm very interested on killing the gods.
Zitia: I have no problem with that. I can summon the demon king here.(snaps fingers)
Kei:(sighs) Upper 2, you I don't like my sleep to be disturbed. What is it?!
Zitia: My lord, my sincere apologies, but this is an important for you to hear.
Kei: Hmmm, I see the other upper ranks are here. I see this is important, so what is it.
Kya: My lord, we understand as your upper rank demons the position you're in and we all want to make it right.
Kei: Hmm, where are you going with upper 6?
Kya: My lord, I want you to give us your permission to handle on of the gods that escaped.
Kei: And who will be with you during this mission?
Kya: It's going to be the entire upper ranks with me. We all believe that the reason we didn't defeat the remaining god was because the lower ranks were there, and we believe that this mission is for the upper ranks and you demon king.
Kei: That understandable. I do have high ex for my upper ranks, so I will allow this mission to happen. Is that all?
Kya: Yes my lord.
Kei: Alright, I expect results.(vanishes)
Kya: See, I told you I was favorite.
Zika: I'm surprised that worked.
Hayato: Alright, we will set out in 3 days. So everyone be prepared. This meeting has concluded.
Kya:(sighs) That went well.
Zika: Hey Kya, you never told me that you were in the upper rank now.
Kya: I didn't think it mattered to tell you or not. Anyway, I have things to do Zika.
Zika: Wait, Kya I have something I've been waiting to tell you.
Kya; Yea, what is it.
Zika: Kya, I been wanting to tell you that I'm in love with you. I've been in love with for a long time and I've been feeling like this for while.
Kya: Zika, I'm sorry but I've never saw more than friend. I just want us to be friends that's all.
Zika: Why, is it because you're in love with Toru?
Kya: So what if I am? Why are you acting like this. You're upset with me because I don't like you back?
Zika: You need protection, especially right now in your in the upper ranks.
Kya: Zika, I already told you I don't like you that way. And just like I told Toru I don't need protection from you. I don't none from anyone stop trying to protect me when I don't need it! No go away.
Zika: Tsk, whatever.
Kya:(sighs, boys are so annoying. Come to think of it why did I regret him. I knew he had feelings for me so why?)

Toru:(Alright, it's time for me to use my new powers. I'm going to climb the ranks and be the strongest. I'll prove everyone wrong.) Ice Pillar: Giant Ice Ball!! (Explosion) Heh, it looks like I'm getting better at mastering it. Ice Pillar: Giant Iceberg!!! Hmmm, I see the iceberg lets me use Ice Pillar without any limitations. This can be very helpful for me.
Daiki: Jesus, why is it freezing cold in here? Ah, so this is your new powers I'm guessing?
Toru: Yea it is, why are you here?
Daiki: I came to check on my fellow subordinate. I see no problem with that. You seem upset and more determined than ever. You alright?
Toru: I'm fine, why do you ask?
Daiki: Listen, I know happened between you and Kya. And I heard that you regained memories from the timeline that you and Kya died in. I can understand how you feel about her. I'm sure all of us besides the upper ranks of course understand how you feel. Especially Asahi, she understands how you about Kya.
Toru: Whatever, I don't care anymore. My heart is frozen solid. I her anymore, all I care about is getting stronger and becoming an upper rank.
Daiki: But Lord Kei offered a position in the upper ranks and you declined.
Toru: I did, and the reason for that was because I didn't deserve to be in the upper ranks. I may did kill one of the strongest gods, but I died in the process. I was weak because I died I'm going to make sure that I get stronger so I can defeat a god quicker and more efficient. That's a promise I made to myself.
Daiki: Toru, it's a bad idea to close off your heart towards Kya.
Toru: I already have, anyway I have training to do.
Asahi: Daiki, Hi. Were you talking with Toru?
Daiki: Yea, I was. Toru taking this seriously and im worried about what's going to happen to him.
Asahi: I get it. He really does love Kya, but now he doesn't feel any type of love for her. Eventually, Kya will realize that she actually does Toru, but he won't care.
Daiki:(sighs) This is annoying. By the way, what's going on with you and Lord Kei.
Asahi: I can't say, it's a secret.
Daiki: Ah, you're not sleeping with him are you?
Asahi:(giggles) I don't know, I don't have an answer for that.
Daiki: What hell do you mean you don't have an answer for that?!
Daitchi: Don't worry she's not sleep with Lord Kei.
Asahi: Aww, you're always a buzzkill Daitchi.
Daitchi: Anyway, I got informed by Upper 2 that the upper ranks are going out to kill one of the remaining gods.
Daiki: Isn't that risky for them to do?
Daitchi: Not necessarily, because we  have upper 1 and 2. I'm sure they will have a hard time killing the both of them. Especially Upper 1. I honestly think it's almost impossible to kill upper 1.
Asahi: That's right. Zakinthos gotten way stronger than before. He was already stronger, but his training with the demon king paid off.
Daiki: Oh, Daitchi now I'm thinking about it where is Daichi. I haven't seen him in years.
Daitchi: I don't know. He just took off and I haven't heard from him.
Daiki: You think he's dead?
Daitchi: No I don't, but something tells me he will be back in time.

Daichi:(sighs) How intriguing that this might be the last time I'll be alive. Well it's now or never.(Brother, please understand that I'm doing this for Itsuki. I will avenge his death by taking the bastard that took Itsuki's life. It's time for me to do something right for once In my life. Watch over me.) (Screams)
