“Breaking news!” A news reporter’s voice echoes from the massive screen showing front and center on top of the massive building at the back center of the Main Square. “The Apex Predator, Princess of the Demons and the daughter of the White Knight of Humanity Scarlet Art Asger de Archeron has come to an agreement with the Demon King! If humanity is able to push the demons back to Demon Isle and keep the rest of the demons in the Arctic by the time the void creatures attack Earth, the Demon King will…-

“It was nice talking to you again, little Scarlet,” Arkaz says with a warm smile on his face, and his son, Leonidas, says, “Stay safe on Earth, okay?” Then, after getting a smile in response with his granddaughter raising one hand with her thumb sticking up, Arkaz cuts the link with the magical item he had Leonidas make and send to Earth. Something that lets him contact those over there. The screen vanishes, turning back into blood again and leaving the throne room in complete silence. “Her…

After breaking the two up, which took a lot of work to do, the three of us continue flying through the air for a few seconds until a large castle comes into sight. One clearly made out of blood metal and designed in a style similar to the nation that used to occupy Demon Isle before the demons. Satan brings us through an open window of the castle into a large throne room where a three-meter-tall pool of blood stands in front of the throne like a mirror. The oni then walks up to the raised dais and kneels…

After meeting up with Red, we both rush through the sky straight towards Demon Isle in a large black fireball that doesn’t actually feel hot. Not even in the slightest. When I asked why it wasn’t Amelia going with me, I was told that she was busy in the Arctic and since he was the representative for the humans during the bet – even if he didn’t do anything – he was responsible for coming with me to see it through. Which makes sense, even if I don’t really like the guy. I look around at the…

“You are going to be the death of me one of these days, you hear that?” Allen complains as soon as the call connects, making me blink in surprise before tilting my head slightly in confusion. “And to make matters worse? You don’t even know why…” Allen trails off only to shake his head and mutter, “Oh, whatever. I’m glad you’re safe and that things turned out well.” I frown for a second, unsure of what he was gonna scold me over, only to shrug myself and smile as I say,…

Whispered conversations begin to echo throughout the entire battlefield both from the demons and the humans. And while the demons sound extremely happy with this arrangement, as I thought they would, the humans sound conflicted. Some of them are saying that I shouldn’t be the only one bearing the burden of humanity’s loss in this bet, while others are saying it’s only right since I’m a demon and need to earn their trust. Most are saying that it wouldn’t be right though, leaving the others to be a…

“First, would a representative for the humans and for the demons come up here?” I ask, my voice echoing throughout the battlefield. Then in just a single instant, someone appears next to us. Someone that I recognize from TV. Satan. And I’m not the only one as everyone down on the battlefield starts muttering to themselves as well, the demons out of loyalty and fear, and the humans out of fear and, well, fear. Red steps forwards with his helmet held underneath his arm, the man still wearing the…

Starting with one you know, White: Next up is her brother, Blue: Then we have Black: And Red both with and without his helmet: And last but not least, Purple. Both in her young and her old form. Also, I made an edit to an earlier chapter to specify that Purple ages whenever she divines a prophecy. And then she gets younger again as she kills more demons afterwards. So here is her older form(mid thirties in appearance): And here she is in her younger form(mid twenties in…

I blankly stare at all of the messages in the livestream as Amelia finishes up her explanation of the prophecy, basically just outlining the thing without telling any of the specifics except for what has already occurred up till now. But no matter how long I stare, I can’t wrap my mind around how everything has transpired. The way I thought this would play out is all of the humans immediately turning on me and hating me for being a demon and the granddaughter of the Demon King. And now? Now most people…

Jacob R. Ashton stares blankly at the livestream feeling unsure of how he should be right now. Because he knew White had been hiding something, but the government official who had overseen Scarlet’s registration as a Guardian still trusted her absolutely and didn’t think whatever she was hiding would be this… severe. But now, as he watches the livestream, he can’t help but wonder… Jacob continues staring at the livestream until White finally steps forward and begins speaking. “Hello people…
