The pressure on all fronts had turned the emperor desperate. Every kingdom, every duchy, and every city was slowly being taken away from him, and despite Haruki's alleged progress on Inferno's territory, they were losing too much for that pascal of land to amount to much at all. In fact, at the rate at which the demon lords were creeping in on his territory under Margarette's watch, he felt a burning jealousy for the competence of Haruki's war general. "So, Selena, what have you learned from being…-

Venturing out of the preparation tent, Haruki was once again met with the handful of human guards provided to him to sway the tides on this war. To him, treating war as a test seemed a little extreme, but the emperor was apparently rumored to have tested the other generals the same way. Peering up high, Haruki saw Michael still using his magic to witness his every action from the sky. As for the front and down the hills, the army of demons was prepared to tear his men apart. "What's your magic…

Ignoring the constant reminders from Reya about returning to his research, or to at least help the others on the Hestemian front, Deus anxiously strolled inside the dusty bedroom where he'd taken Azalea so she could recover. Clad in her armor her body sweated profusely, and strains of her blonde hair stuck to her face. Heaving out loud gasping for breath, she was in a state delicate enough to warrant caution, thus making sure that wouldn't happen, Deus hung about in the room, waiting for her to either…

Landing in the entrance hall to his full metal castle, Deus looked around to take in the ruined state in which Dominion's army had left the place. Struck down, the columns galvanized with a tint of deep blue barely held up the leaking ceiling. The walls supporting the rest of the structure weren't too pristine either as sticking out from them were sparking wires that once automated the intricate structure. Taking a step towards a crater in the floor, Deus gazed down at the thrashed underground lab he…

"Moriyana, you seem…" Entering the tent, Margarette's first impulse was to greet Moriyana joyfully, but upon noticing the sickly look on her face, she stopped herself from finishing her greeting. Quickly shifting her gaze to Fay standing beside Moriyana's bed, Margarette squinted her eyes at her as if asking what had happened. Picking up on Margarette's gesture, Fay huffed out a tired sigh and stepped slightly forward. "Seems like Deus might've overdone things, and her mind is still a bit fuzzy,"…

Hestemia, the fourth kingdom and the very last before the emperor's domain had finally fallen to the persistent retaliation from the demonic armies. Spread out thin, the emperor's war generals were too occupied on their fronts to fight against the parasitic demon population that had continued to grow inside the duchies, cities, and kingdoms. Floating above a ruin of a city, Margarette looked on at the expansive army of demons she had led against the kingdom of Hestemia. Mixed amongst the lust demons,…

Following a brief meeting with the emperor, Haruki was sent off to Dominion's territory to retain the land after it had been abandoned by the war general. Standing in front of Deus and Inferno, his eyes turned to Michael as he would be the one to relay the message. "You've shed plenty of blood on this land it seems," not too happy about the bloodied scene, Michael wore a deep frown as he talked to the two. "Taking advantage of the general's absence I assume?" "So what?" Inferno questioned with a…

A few days past the massacre of a royal soldier in Inferno's territory, Moriyana was busy with Deus as well as Fay trying to recreate a vessel fitting for Haruki's soul. Watching the trio with her head tilted to the side, Stella munched on a crispy snack offered to her by the lord of gluttony. At first, she felt confused by the thin layer of crispy potatoes, but the more she munched on, the further her hunger grew for the same. Having not a clue as to what her mother was aiding the other two with,…

"So…" Picking up the steaming cup of tea laid before her on the table, Helga looked at Asmodia through her iron visor. "When are you planning to take the walk?" Her eyes covered under the iron visor of her feathered helmet, she gave her a cold stare while bringing the tea cup closer. Pressing her cherry lips against it, Helga took a light sip of the dark liquid before lightly wincing at the horrid taste. "Don't make that face," Asmodia retorted, sipping on her own cup with her legs leisurely…

In the dead of night, while Haruki was gazing out the window of his newly assigned room, a sudden knock on the door broke his moment of peace. Turning to the noise, he noticed a chained woman peeking through the door before slowly making her way inside. Bowing lightly to him, she kept her head down until the guards outside the room shut the door close. Looking back at Haruki, she dragged her raggy clothes along as she moved closer and closer to him. The lack of fear or doubt in her eyes left Haruki a…
