Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 369 - The Spreading Chaos

Chapter 369 - The Spreading Chaos

Nyarlom cackled as he watched the people fall apart. Even though they were related, even though they were friends, in the face of death they were nothing more than beasts. Though it was fun to watch the different races killing each other, the truth was, Nyarlom didn't really want all living beings to die as they are the source of a primordial demon's power. Still, the Serbek Kingdom was just one of the many human kingdoms. In fact, the humans were so good at reproducing that Nyarlom suddenly had an idea.

'Should I create a ranch made out of the other races, specifically the humans? If I do that I can control the flow of malice. Hmm, that's a pretty good idea. We couldn't do that to the races of old since those guys were way too powerful and were our equals, but now most of those races no longer exist and the ones that remain are a shadow of their former selves. Especially the humans they became pathetically weak compared to those of the ancient era.'

As he was thinking about the old times Nyarlom noticed that his power was increasing even more rapidly than before. It was impossible that all this malice was coming from the people present in the arena, then that would mean.

'So the plan that those fools did for me is starting.'

…

Chaos wasn't happening only in the Serbek Kingdom, up in the frozen north where the dwarves live deep inside the mountains, a war had started. The different clans had broken the peace treaty and started claiming one another's territory.

It took the one planted by Nero a few years for this plan to be realized but it was finally happening and right on time as well.

…

In the Reschbeauch Kingdom Silika was looking after Ren's little brother Kurt when she suddenly sensed something.

'This feeling…' Silika picked up Kurt and headed to Milly's room. While she was heading towards where Milly was, she asked one of the palace's guards to gather Kithra and the other important members to the throne room.

…

Silika arrived in the room where Milly was staying at. The current Milly was thinner than before, and her usual happy demeanor was barely there as she forced a smile out.

"Oh Silika, and my little Kurt are you two done playing?" Silika hastily handed Kurt to Milly before answering.

"Milly, I want you and Kurt to stay in this room. Keep the door lock and no matter what you hear do not leave the room. Never open the door to anyone besides me." Seeing the serious expression on Silika's face, Milly nodded her head.

"If someone pretends to be me, ask for her real name. If she answers Elizabeth that would be me only then should you open the door, but if she says Silika step farther away from the door and don't listen."

"Silika what's happening?"

"… Somebody is about to come and it might get a bit bad, but don't worry I promise to protect you two in Ren's place." As Silika was about to leave, Milly's trembling hand reached out and held onto Silika's hand.

"Why don't you stay here with us?" Milly couldn't help but ask as she remembered her dead husband. Silika smiled gently at the trembling Milly and touched her hand.

"Everything's going to be alright. I promise that I will return." When Milly saw Silika's determined expression she couldn't say anything against her decision. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry that I'm so weak. Even though I was trained to be able to fight, my current self is unable to do anything."

Tears started to drop from Milly's face. Seeing his mother crying Kurt tried to hug her tightly and wipe her tears away.

"What are you saying aren't you here protecting Kurt?" Hearing what Silika said and seeing the actions of her son, Milly gritted her teeth and then nodded her head.

"Alright then, see you later Milly, Kurt." As Silika was about to leave, Milly spoke.

"Please take care, Silika." Silika nodded her head and left the room. Once she was outside Silika placed multiple barriers onto the area outside the room. She even concealed the door with a spell. Once she was done she hurried towards the throne room.

'How could I ever forget this irritating feeling as if something gross is crawling up my body. A primordial demon is coming to this place. Unlike the half-ass demon Amon, a primordial demon is an actual threat that even I might have difficulty facing… If only I still had the same power as when I was the Goddess of Death, I could've easily dealt with a dozen primordial demons, but now even one might pose a problem.' Silika frowned as she quickened her pace towards the throne room.

…

Not only in the Dwarven Clans, and in the Reschbeauch Kingdom multiple places were having a crisis. Even deep inside the cave where the Hero Shin protects the seal, a problem had arisen.

Shin was in the middle of a battle against multiple primordial demons that had escaped the broken seal. It was just a matter of time until the seal was fully destroyed and Shin had been holding them off for a couple of days now. He was exhausted and his enormous pool of mana was slowly being drained.

'Damn it, there's strength is slowly rising. Right now I'm still able to kill some of them but once they receive more malice, then even I won't be able to hold on for long.'

Shin looked at the numerous primordial demons flooding towards him and grasped his spear even tighter. He smiled in the same way that rival of his smiled back then.

'It doesn't seem like I'll be getting that rematch against you. Still, if I don't pull through and win against these primordial demons then how can I call myself your rival… Right… Kretos.' Shin charged into the horde of primordial demons and went all out.

…

Back in the Serbek Kingdom, the representative of the fairy race Aerwenna was looking at the black dome that covered the arena. She had overslept and when she woke up that was the first thing she saw.

As a fairy who was more attuned to the world's mana, she knew that the black dome was not something created by mana but something else entirely.

'But that's impossible, everything in this world has a portion of mana in them no matter how minuscule. If so, then what the heck is that?' As Aerwenna was trying to figure out what was happening, a voice sounded beside her.

"Tsk, this is getting more troublesome than I expected. If he gains more power than this it would be problematic. Why hasn't he arrived yet, is he going to be late once again? Fine then, I'll try to buy him some more time."

Aerwenna saw a beautiful maiden with long golden-hair and eight foxtails. The aura the Golden-Haired maiden was emitting was so attuned with the world's mana that Aerwenna had a problem sensing her presence even though she was standing right in front of her.

While Aerwenna was in awe of the Golden-Haired maiden's presence, the Golden-Haired maiden lifted her right hand and pointed her index finger towards the black dome. The mana around her started to gather onto the tips of her finger, and after gathering an enormous amount the Golden-Haired maiden unleashed it.

Shining golden mana burst out of her finger and headed towards the black dome. Upon contact with the black dome, the golden mana beam grew and pierced through. A hole was created, seeing that the Golden-Haired maiden quickly flew towards the hole.

Once the Golden-Haired maiden passed through the hole, the black dome started repairing itself and the hole disappeared.

…

Nyarlom who was relishing in the power he was gaining, saw a ball of light falling towards him. Nyarlom lifted his hand and tried deflecting the ball of light. To his surprise, the ball of light was more powerful than he thought and it took a bit more effort to deflect it. Once he was able to deflect the ball of light he heard the voice of a lady.

"As I expected that wasn't enough to even graze you. Heh, you're sturdier than the other primordial demon that I killed."

Nyarlom looked at where the voice was coming from and saw floating just right above him was a Golden-Haired maiden with eight tails.

"You stink with the wretched stench of pure mana."

"Is that any way to talk to a lady?!" The Golden-Haired maiden pouted. Nyarlom shook his head and gave an elegant bow.

"Forgive me, my lady. It's just that, it seems you have been in contact with something that has a foul odor."

"Hmph, there you go again insulting me. If there's someone with a foul odor in here that would be you!"

"I see, I Nyarlom have misspoken. If I may be so bold to ask can the nice smelling lady grace me with her name, so that I can properly apologize."

"Well, even though someone like you doesn't deserve to hear my name, I'll make an exception today since you want to apologize, I will tell you. My name is Tsukiko."

"What I wonderful name lady Tsukiko… Once again I Nyarlom deeply apologize for what I have said."
