Not much was known about Lesser High King Yamato.But his name was known by everyone.He was famous enough that every resident of the Demon World would have heard about him at least once.
He was a powerful being that had nearly united the Demon World thousands of years ago.You could look at every corner of this world, past and present, and would still not find anyone who could surpass him.
âI heard this from King Bargman. King Yamato appeared out of nowhere.â
âOut of nowhere?âWas he transferred from another world?
âUp until then, he was unknown. He had likely just evolved. And having undergone a special evolution, he wanted to test his power. He left his home and traveled from country to country and searched for strong opponents. Thatâs what King Bargman said.â
âThatâs very bold⌠So then, King Yamato didnât belong to any country in the beginning?âLike how General Farneze and I were Lesser Demon King Melvisâs subordinates.
And General Miralda worked under Demon King Tralzard.In order to live in the Demon World, you had to work under someone.
If you didnât, then you would be treated like an outsider no matter where you went. And that was not a safe way to live.You either had to receive the protection of someone or take a country for your own. There was no other way to be accepted by your neighbors.
âIt seems to be the case. At least, when King Bargman first met him. However, King Yamato was already very powerful at that point.â
I suppose he was an independant force then. He gathered subordinates as he pleased and continued to move. His men would have known that their master would go on to do great things, and so they followed him.\n
âThatâs surprising. King Bargman was acquainted with King Yamato that far back.â
Great Demon King Bargman and the wandering, independant army. Where did they meet?Surely Bargman would still be a Demon King back then, at the very least.
âKing Yamato and King Melvis met even earlier. After all, I heard that their first encounter resulted in a great fight.â
âItâsâŚincredible that he survived. So I suppose they made up after that?âWhat were they doing anyway?
âNo, no⌠According to King Bargman, they remained enemies for quite some time. They were both the violent type, and so perhaps they didnât enjoy seeing someone so similar to themselves. Yes, they fought for a very long time.âââŚâ
A great fight between Great Demon King Melvis and the future Lesser High King. I would have loved to see that.But perhaps spectators would die from the shockwaves that would erupt.
It was said that Yamato went from country to country and people followed him. So he must have been terribly charismatic.Being prone to violence was just one side of his character.
The more followers you had, the more power would flow from the Orb of Control.So perhaps he was already in the Lesser Demon King class by that point.
However, he should have still been far from Bargman or Melvis.So how had Yamato and Melvis fought on equal footing?
He would have had to make up for it in a way that was unrelated to mana.\nâApparently, he and King Melvis clashed many times. Eventually, King Bargman became King Yamatoâs subordinate, and the balance of power shifted greatly. It was around that time that there was a disturbance in the Demon World.
The appearance of this new powerful leader was most disconcerting to the elders of the world.It was the beginning of the age of warring kings.
It was my opinion that Yamato had intended for this to happen.Create chaos in the Demon World and become stronger.
No matter how strong he became, it would all be over if they decided that he was a nail that needed to be hammered down.If several Demon Kings formed an alliance to take him down, he would be hard pressed.
âSo it was King Yamato who created the chaos.ââUltimately, yes. And so King Melvis finally became King Yamatoâs subordinate, and the situation in the Demon World became concrete. No one had been able to defeat him.â
Yamato continued to expand his forces with a lineup that includede Bargman, Melvis and other powerful people.Eventually, he rose to Lesser High King, and he began work on uniting the Demon World.
However, it was not to be.This was because of the invasion from the Celestial World.
âThe Demon World was peace itself while King Yamato ruled. It was said that there was no division, internal discord, or disaffection in the lands that he controlled. They had no notable enemies, and he was so close to unifying all the lands.â
âBut it was thwarted by the invasion.â
âIndeed. Well, I have already told you all I know about that. King Bargman didnât know much himself. âŚYes, yes. About what King Bargman told me. The name, Yamato Takeru no Mikoto.â
âThat was the name of his race?â\nI could see how much she still feared Melvis.
