Chapter 34: The Weak Demon Lord Makes a Request to the Great Demon Lord

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“…Hmm. Well done, Olden. You actually managed to summon me. It seems trusting you was indeed the right decision.”

“N-No, not at all. It wasn’t that big of a deal…”

No matter how many times I saw her, the sheer presence she exuded was overwhelming. It wasn’t just that she was on another level as a being—there was a mysterious pressure about her.

Then, Ivriel-sama turned to me and said.

“I shall grant you a reward. Do you have any wishes?”

“Then… Please obliterate that damn evil god over there with everything you’ve got.”

I pointed toward Belzethea as I said it, and Ivriel-sama turned her gaze to the creature—

“Hmm? Why is that evil god still alive? Did you not destroy it long ago?”

“I have no idea either. It somehow came back to life.”

“…Well, no matter. Let’s get this over with quickly.”

Ivriel-sama stepped forward and stood before Belzethea. Belzethea grinned wickedly.

“Hehe… Ahahaha!! I knew it the moment I saw you!! You look absolutely delicious!! I’ve finally found my main course!!”

Drooling as she looked at Ivriel-sama, Belzethea laughed with genuine delight. And right at that moment, Rio-san popped back into view and rushed over to me as I knelt on the ground.

“O-Olden-san!!”

“Oh, Rio-san. What brings you here?”

“Uh, well, I was worried because you were acting strangely… Um, who’s that woman?”

“That would be the Great Demon Lord, Ivriel-sama.”

“T-The Great Demon Lord? As in, the one you told me about before?”

Ivriel-sama gave a brief glance toward the tilting-head Rio-san.

“Oh? Despite being human, it seems she has slightly more magical power than I do. Olden, who is this girl?”

“Ah, yes. She’s my disciple.”

“Your disciple? You won’t be able to fully nurture her potential.”

“You’re not wrong—ouch, that hits deep.”

Just as Ivriel-sama said, Rio-san still had plenty of room to grow. At this point, the only things I could really teach her were summoning magic and resurrection magic. If she apprenticed under someone stronger than me, she would grow even more powerful.

And then, Ivriel-sama made a surprising proposal.

“Young girl. Become one of my subordinates.”

“Eh? Wha—?”

“If you serve under me, I will train you to be a warrior on par with myself. And when I conquer the surface, I’ll grant you a kingdom.”

“U-Um, I’ll have to pass on that.”

“Rio-san!?”

I was so startled I nearly fell over. I never thought anyone would actually turn down a recruitment offer from Ivriel-sama.

T-This is bad. If she upset Ivriel-sama, Rio-san could end up turned into minced meat!!

“L-Ivriel-sama!! That’s not it!! She’s just a little… A little lacking in the head, but she’s not a bad girl at all!!”

“Olden-san, even I have my limits. I’m going to get angry, you know?”

“Rio-san, please, just be quiet for a moment!! So please, Ivriel-sama!! I beg you, spare her from being turned into mince!!”

“…What do you take me for? I won’t throw a fit over every little thing a young girl says.”

“Huh?”

W-Wait, she’s… She’s not angry?

“That girl will be mine, no matter what means I must use. I, of all people, have decided so.”

“She sure sounds full of herself.”

“H-Hey, Rio-san!?”

“Kukuku, excellent!! Excellent, girl!! You are the first to ever speak so rudely to me!! That only makes me want you more!!”

It seemed Ivriel-sama had taken quite a liking to Rio-san. Wow… I didn’t know this kind of thing could happen.

“Well then, now that it’s settled, let’s take care of the evil god.”

Ivriel-sama turned her eyes away from Rio-san and back toward Belzethea. Then, staring down at her, she muttered.

“…An evil god, huh. This is my first time seeing one in person, but it doesn’t look like much.”

“Oh? What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Exactly what I said. As a Great Demon Lord, it’s not my style to go all-out against someone beneath me. But I shall make an exception, as a reward for my faithful servant. This will be over in three seconds.”

“Aha, you’re funny—”

In the next instant, Ivriel-sama vanished. No, she didn’t literally disappear—she moved with such incredible speed that it just seemed like she had. She closed the distance to Belzethea in a heartbeat and drove her fist into Belzethea’s gut.

“Gah!? Wha—huh? What just happened…?”

“Didn’t you just say I looked like a main dish or something?”

Belzethea was launched into the air by the direct hit. But Ivriel-sama leapt after her, instantly catching up midair and unleashing hundreds of punches and kicks in the blink of an eye.

Belzethea tried to bite Ivriel’s arms and legs with the mouths all over her body… But she was too slow—another blow would land before she could even get close.

The opponent who had left both me and Akira-san completely helpless was utterly helpless herself against Ivriel-sama.

“I shall teach you your place. I am above you. You are beneath me. To think the inferior would try to devour the superior is simply laughable.”

“W-Wait, hold o—”

“Know this: I am the predator. You are the prey.”

Then, as if to finish it off, Ivriel-sama delivered a devastating axe kick to the top of Belzethea’s head. Her skull caved in, and she was smashed into the ground.

Just as she declared, she finished it in three seconds. Even in my prime, I only barely managed to defeat Belzethea with everything I had—yet she took it down in three seconds.

Ivriel-sama is just on another level.

“Was that all? Olden was more persistent than this.”

Not sure why she had to drag me into it.

Well… I am good at being persistent, so maybe she meant it as praise?

“She’s crazy strong!!”

“Kukuku, of course! I am strong! The strongest there is! Girl, wouldn’t you like to be as strong as me?”

“Not really…”

“…Hmph. Stubborn, aren’t you? But no matter. It wouldn’t be fun if you were too easy to get. I shall take my time recruiting you.”

How could Rio-san still turn her down even after seeing that display of power up close? I was starting to get a little scared of my own disciple.

“Y-You’ve gotta be kidding meeeee!!!! I’m the one who’s supposed to do the eating!! You should all just let yourselves be eaten by me!!”

And then, despite her skull caving in, Belzethea got back up. She should’ve been dead with damage like that. Even a hit like that should’ve killed her before.

What the hell is going on!?

“Hehe, ahahaha!! Surprised, are you!? Right now, I’m immortal—”

“Oh? So you’ve hidden your heart deep in the dungeon. A cheap trick.”

“-!?”

Ivriel-sama saw through Belzethea’s immortality trick instantly. How did she figure that out!?

“Hehe… Yes!! You’re exactly right!!”

“Hmm, you admit it so easily.”

“Of course!! There’s no way you could find my heart, hidden somewhere in this vast dungeon!!”

“What nonsense are you babbling? I’ll just crush the whole dungeon.”

“Huh?”

Ivriel-sama formed a magic circle at her fingertip and gave a slight flick. I couldn’t believe my eyes. The entire Nagoya Dungeon, including everything buried underground, lifted into the air.

“Uh, Olden-san? Am I dreaming?”

“Well, it seems we might be sharing the same dream, Rio-san.”

While Rio-san and I mentally checked out, Ivriel-sama glared at Belzethea.

“I said I’d finish you in three seconds. But thanks to you, I couldn’t keep my word. That’s something I hate most of all.”

“Wha—? Huh? Why is the dungeon floating…?”

“Begone, inferior one.”

“Higii!?”

In the next moment, Nagoya Dungeon was swallowed by what appeared to be a black hole created by Ivriel-sama and vanished. Belzethea’s heart, hidden inside, was likely destroyed too.

With a pitiful scream, Belzethea turned to ash and vanished.

Right, I had almost forgotten…While Ivriel-sama was absurdly strong in hand-to-hand combat, her true power was in devastating magic attacks.

The Great Demon Lord really is something else.

“Now then, with that out of the way, I’ll begin by destroying all military facilities around the world in three minutes to demonstrate my power, and then I shall take over humanity—”

Just as Ivriel-sama triumphantly prepared to begin her conquest of the surface—

Puff! 

A burst of white smoke enveloped her.

“W-What is this…!?”

When the smoke cleared, Ivriel-sama had shrunk down. She looked… She looked adorably small.

―――――――――――――――――――――

Afterword:

Ivriel is the strongest. Even if every Demon Lord in the Demon Realm teamed up, she’d wipe them out in less than a second. Wiping out all of humanity would take her no more than a minute. But since her goal is to conquer the surface and rule over humanity, she’s going to spend three minutes destroying all military-related facilities first.
