The Great Demon King Who Was Kidnapped After Jokingly Flirting - Didn't You Know? You Can't Escape from the Female Heroes - Chapter 10: The Voice

“What should we do? Jar-kun has escaped!? How is this possible with the orb?!”

“Could it be… while the orb prevents self-harm, disobedience, and rebellion, it doesn’t restrict escape?”

“No way… Jar-kun!? Don’t let him escape, Suu-chan, follow Jar-kun’s scent right now!”

“Why would Jar-kun run away? He loves me, doesn’t he?!”

“Jar-kun… Jar-kun Jar-kun Jar-kun Jar-kun Jar-kun Jar-kun Jar-kun Jar-kun Jar-kun Jar-kun Jar-kun Jar-kun Jar-kun Jar-kun Jar-kun Jar-kun Jar-kun Jar-kun Jar-kun… Why?”

“Girls, are you okay?”

“Don’t worry, we’re here now!”

“But there’s a dragon…”

“We need to drive it away!”

“What is this? People… dead people?”

“I’m gonna be sick!”

“Damn it, the work of demons! Come out, demons, I’ll kill you!”

“Capture the demons and burn them at the stake!”

“Kill the demons! Kill them!”

“Ah… right… it’s their fault…”

She underestimated me.

Yes, I had lost my horn and couldn’t control my magic, but my physical abilities remained unparalleled. I could traverse valleys, mountains, and rivers with ease.

The plan was clear: escape far enough to be beyond their commands, then reunite with the remnants of my demon army and find a way to remove the orb. Once my horn regenerated, I could possibly remove it myself.

This could be my victory. Those foolish girls had a chance to kill me but didn’t. Now, I would rise again as the Great Demon King and wreak havoc.

“Let the Warrior Maidens regret their choice. They prioritized their personal feelings over the world’s fate.”

I had traveled far from the mansion. If I was far enough, not even Anest’s detection magic could find me, nor could Killru’s spacetime magic catch up. If the distance was great enough, the women who embedded the orb couldn’t track me, as I had learned from the Flame Dragon King’s situation.

Night had fallen, cloaking me in darkness, aiding my escape.

“I’ve never been to this continent, but I know the direction. It’s shameful for the Great Demon King to flee like this, but it’s better than being held captive by those girls.”

I couldn’t let my guard down yet, but escaping their grasp so quickly was more than I had hoped for. And then…

“Wow, we’re projected in the sky! Look, look!”

“It can’t be helped. We have no other way.”

“Amazing!”

“Ugh, but if this is being seen all over the world, it’s so embarrassing.”

“Endure it.”

The sky was filled with the colossal images of the five maidens.

“What is this… No, that’s…”

Was it the Warrior Maidens becoming giants? No, it was a magical projection of their images into the sky. This magic was used by military commanders to address their troops from afar.

“They’ve gone too far… This will make everyone aware of their existence. Weren’t they supposed to be hiding?”

Their actions, meant to be concealed, were now blatantly obvious. However, their projections in the sky didn’t mean they could see me. There shouldn’t be any concern about them finding my current location…

“Okay, here we go! On three!”

“One, two, three!”

“Jar-kun, come back right now!!!”

Their collective shout echoed across the continent…

“…Ah…”

Right. Even if they weren’t nearby, just hearing their command through their amplified voices meant that I was…

My body involuntarily started to return the way I had come, and I couldn’t resist the compulsion.
