I understood that the Demon World had fallen into a great chaos.
In fact, that was the important part.
He was very energetic for someone so old.
Apparently, Melvisâs wide area magic attacks would have a disastrous effect on his surroundings.
After I talked about what had happened in Tralzardâs lands, General Farneze became very serious as she pondered over it.
What I had told her, was that Demon King Tralzard had defeated Demon King Legard, and that she was now being targeted by the surrounding Demon Kings.
The General already knew this.
Furthermore, as survivors from Legardâs lands were still active, it would be difficult for Tralzard to call back her troops from the south.
And so she was being forced to fight a two front war in the south and the north.
However, the Generalâs reply was very bold.
âIf thatâs the situation, then I wonât be able to use King Tralzard to stop King Melvis.â
While Tralzard was the closest person to becoming a Great Demon King, I didnât know if such a thing would work.
Even if we confided in her, she would just get tear-eyed and start shaking.
Then she would lock herself up in her castle and refuse to come out.
âI donât think that was very likely to begin with.â
âI see⌠She is already being attacked within her borders, so it will be difficult to get her to move.â
The General misunderstood me. Getting her to move was not the problem. She was scared.
âIs King Melvis that dangerous when heâs angry?â
âAs he is doing it abroad, it can be interpreted as a declaration of war. Furthermore, if the battlefield were to move here, then this country would fall.â
It wasnât just any other country. He was going wild in Great Demon King Dalmâs country.
A war with a Great Demon King was the last thing we wanted now.
Of course, we didnât want him to wreak havoc in any country at all.
I see. Thatâs why we needed someone who could stop him.
However, two of our Generals were posted to the north and south.
And General Farneze was supposed to guard the castle.
So if someone absolutely had to stop Melvis, it would be General Farneze.
And unless she was very lucky, she would die in an instant.
That was the most likely outcome.
But even if she was lucky and she survived, he would probably not listen to her.
Yes, it was quite the predicament.
ââŚI have no choice then.â
The General said. She had made up her mind.
I felt the same. The General would just have to do her best.
âIâm glad that you became stronger, Golan.â
There had been a great change when I evolved previously.
Though, it was no surprise, as there was a great physical transformation.
This time, it was just an increase in mana level. At least, thatâs what it felt like.
I was a Lesser Demon King now, but that happened right before my death.
And then I had spent some time in a vessel, so I didnât feel like a Lesser Demon King.
âIt surprised me when you evolved as well, but it is quite shocking that you could change so much in such a short amount of time.â
âUh, I really donât think itâs thatâŚâ
I didnât like the way she was lifting me up. Was she really that happy to see a subordinateâs growth?
You would think sheâd be worried about a Gekokujyo.
Being above others was such a hassle, and so I wouldnât do it. But normally, if you became stronger, your ambition would be to have as many people work under you as possible.
âAnd so you should be able to bear it.â
The General said as she nodded to herself. Bear it? What?
âUh, General Farneze. I donât really understand what you mean.â
âAh, my apologies. It just made so much sense to me.â
âUhâŚI should be able to bear what?â
âObviously, I meant that you should be able to reach King Melvis.â
Wait a minuteâŚwhat did she just say?
âWith this much power, you should be fine. There will be no trouble at all.â

âNo troubleâŚthat canât beâŚâ
âThis is something that I can only ask you, Golan.â
âWhat is it specificallyâŚ?â
âI want you to stop King Melvis.â
âIt will be hard enough to get close to King Melvis. The average high-ranker would not be able to do it. But you are tough Golan. It should be possible.â
âI hate to break it toâŚâ
âYou might encounter some celestials on the way, but you should have no trouble. They will only be in the Lesser Demon King class, after all.â
If it was to save this countryâŚwould that change things?
There were many people in this country that I had sworn to protect.
It wasnât just the Ogres, Reapers and Lamias. There were the non-combatants as well.
Besides, I did need to meet Melvis.
Then perhaps this was actually a good opportunity for me?
It did seem terribly dangerous, but if nothing was done, the damage would only increase. I wouldnât be able to talk to him if things reached a point of no return.
ââŚI understand. I will go.â
âI see. Thank you. Well, letâs not waste any timeâŚâ
âIf itâs Great Demon King Dalmâs country, then there is a great distance to cover.â
âDonât worry. I brought with me only the best men when it comes to flying ability.â
âI think four of them should do⌠You.â
And then four Vampires stepped forward.
They were all tall and looked like seasoned warriors.
Two of them grabbed me by the arms. And just like that, I was lifted off of the ground.
And then the other two grabbed my legs in the air.
Now that all of my limbs were being held, I was level with the ground while floating.
I would have looked like a superhuman character with an âSâ on his chest from the old movies.
âNow, Golan. Iâm counting on you. And the rest of you as well.â
âDeliver him with haste.â
âHeyâŚGeneral Farneze! You donât mean to say thaaaaaâŚâ
Before I could finish, they took off into the air while clutching my arms and legs.
