The Eastern Continent is an exclusive territory of the demon race.

There, tens of millions of demons live side by side under the law of the jungle.

Humans on the Central Continent also worship strength, but compared to the demon race, they are nothing.

Demons greatly respect the strong and despise the weak.

For example, a baron-class demon would grovel when encountering a viscount-class demon or higher.

Above viscount, there are still count and duke.

Below baron, there are knights and ordinary demons.

The higher a demon noble’s rank, the stronger they are.

For instance, if a viscount-class demon were to appear, it would take an entire human kingdom to face them.

Even then, there would be no guarantee that the kingdom could defeat a viscount-class demon.

Human kingdoms recorded that a viscount-class demon once invaded the Central Continent, causing destruction everywhere, before finally being defeated by a hero and forced back to the Eastern Continent.

From these records, it could be concluded that the human race is almost incapable of defeating a viscount-class demon.

As a former prince, of course I knew all of this.

But the viscount-class demons that once felt terrifying now look like children in my eyes.

And that’s not without reason—I only need one hundred-thousandth of my full power to defeat them without even blinking.

Just like what happened now, I had just defeated a viscount-class demon named Balahab.

Balahab was a viscount-class demon nearly two thousand years old.

He appeared as a simple middle-aged man, but his body emitted a faint scent of blood.

Anyone with a sensitive nose would notice it, including me when I first appeared in Balahab’s demon castle.

“Human! How did you get here?!”

Balahab’s voice was hoarse and terrifying.

My former self would have been scared half to death, probably even wetting my pants.

However, Balahab’s ferocity shattered in the very next moment.

His aged face turned pale, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he stared at me with eyes full of horror.

“You sensed my aura so quickly. As expected of a viscount-class demon.”

Gulp!

Balahab swallowed hard, then stood up and prostrated himself before me, his body shaking.

“Honorable human, please forgive this humble one. I was too quick to anger and failed to recognize your greatness.”

I narrowed my eyes, turned my head, and looked at the beautiful woman with bright red hair, large breasts, and a maid outfit.

“Shizuku, what do you think?”

“Master, even though this old demon didn’t do it on purpose, he still deserves punishment for his rude behavior.”

Shizuku smiled frighteningly, making Balahab even more terrified.

“His mistake is very minor. We can overlook it as long as he treats us well.”

Shizuku pondered for a moment, then smiled broadly.

“Master Krai is wise. Shizuku thinks that’s better.”

My gaze returned to Balahab.

“Hey, you heard that? Treat us well if you want to be spared punishment.”

“Of course, Your Majesty! I promise to entertain you properly!”

Balahab replied in panic.

“Haaa, after teleporting here, I feel thirsty.”

“Please wait a moment. I’ll bring the best drink I have.”

Balahab hurriedly rushed out of the grand hall in a fluster.

“Hi hi hi.” Shizuku laughed cutely, clearly entertained by Balahab’s reaction and fear.

After Balahab left, only the two of us remained in the vast hall.

Slurp!

Shizuku suddenly licked her soft pink lips, looking at me with lustful eyes.

“Master…”

“No, not now.”

“Tch…”

Shizuku pouted in disappointment, looking adorable.

I couldn’t bring myself to ignore her, so I gently pinched her small nose.

Shizuku let out a spoiled cry and threw herself into my arms.

I caught her soft body, holding her while occasionally squeezing her large buttocks.

“Hngh!... Master Krai, you pervert…”

Shizuku complained, but her voice lacked any real conviction.

I chuckled lightly, then my expression turned serious.

“How is it? Can you feel it?”

Shizuku closed her eyes for a full minute before giving a bitter smile.

“It’s strange. Agnes feels very close, but I can’t find her anywhere.”

“I see. Then it looks like we’ll have to find out from Balahab himself.”

Shizuku nodded in agreement.

As an old viscount-class demon, Balahab was sure to know at least one or two things.

Not long after, Balahab returned, carrying a luxurious bottle made of pure gold.

“Your Majesty, please enjoy this drink,” Balahab said respectfully.

I took the drink, inhaled its aroma briefly, and instantly fell in love with it.

“What kind of drink is this? It’s delicious.”

“It’s a wine passed down through my family.”

“Hooo, interesting. How much do you have?”

Balahab froze, his body stiffening as hesitation filled his expression.

“It seems you don’t have much.”

Balahab gave a bitter smile and nodded.

“If Your Majesty wishes, I can offer all of it to you.”

“It tastes decent. Why not just accept it?”

Shizuku spoke casually after taking a sip from the same glass as me.

As she spoke, Balahab looked utterly despairing, which made me feel a bit sorry for him.

I mean, Balahab was indeed rude toward us, but we were the ones who appeared in his castle without permission.

Compared to Balahab’s attitude, our arrival was clearly more impolite.

“Ahem! No need. But if you insist, give us half.”

Between conscience and desire, I chose the middle ground.

This wine tasted incredibly good—better than the finest drinks I ever had in the kingdom.

There was no way I would let such an opportunity slip by. At the very least, I wanted some of it, even if it meant slightly tainting my conscience.

Balahab immediately brightened up.

“Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you so much!”

Balahab was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.

“Ahem! That’s enough. Don’t make it so dramatic.”

“Ugh, my apologies, Your Majesty.”

Balahab smiled awkwardly.

I let out a breath and put on a serious expression.

“Your Majesty?”

Balahab felt as if he were standing at the edge of a bottomless abyss, making him uneasy.

“I’ll get straight to the point. Do you know where Agnes is?”

“Eh?”

… .. .

    “Master, is something the matter?” Agnes asked, her voice tinged with curiosity as she observed Krai’s grim, furrowed expression.“...How many slaves are there in this kingdom?” Krai asked, sidestepping her question.“Eh? If I recall correctly, there are about a thousand—and that’s including those of elven descent.”“A thousand, you say...” A thin smirk played on Krai’s lips, the kind that suggested a scheme was already beginning to take shape.“Master?”“Agnes. Rescue every single one of them and bring them back to the Stromveil Kingdom.”“...Are you certain, Master?” Agnes hesitated, glancing at Krai with a look of uncertainty.“Is there a problem?” Krai asked, meeting her gaze.Agnes nodded slowly.“And what would that be?”Agnes took a deep breath, carefully explaining that some of these slaves weren't just victims of circumstance—many possessed dark, criminal backgrounds.“It doesn’t matter,” Krai countered dismissively. “Everyone makes mistakes. As long as they are willing to ch

  • 42 Divine Light Kingdom

    In the Divine Light Kingdom, Krai and Rirui moved through the heart of the city, their eyes scanning the surroundings with sharp vigilance. Both were draped in heavy traveling cloaks, their hoods pulled low to mask their features. Beneath those shadows, no one could guess that a warrior of the elves—a woman of peerless beauty—was walking right among them.Every time they passed the grim displays of humans practicing slavery against the demi-human races, Rirui bit her lower lip so hard it bled."If only their powers weren't sealed," Rirui hissed, her voice dripping with pure vitriol. "The humans who enslave them would already be dead."Suddenly remembering she was in Krai’s presence, she quickly clamped her mouth shut. She looked away, fearful that her outburst might have provoked him."You’re right," Krai said quietly. "It is a hideous sight. They claim to uphold equality through their faith, yet they have long since abandoned their consciences."Rirui fell silent, surprised by his wo

    "I see. I think I have the gist of it," Shizuku murmured, her eyes tracing Rirui’s every movement with a look of intense curiosity.'How did I even end up in this situation? And who is this stunning woman? Her presence... it’s every bit as overwhelming as Lady Agnes.'"Ahem! This is Shizuku. She’s my personal maid." As if reading the frantic thoughts swirling in Rirui’s head, Krai offered a casual introduction.Rirui froze for a moment, her gaze lingering on Shizuku in a mix of awe and bewilderment.A faint, thin smile played on Shizuku’s lips, yet she was draped in an aura that was both mysterious and impeccably elegant."It is a pleasure to meet you, Rirui.""Likewise... Lady Shizuku."Shizuku’s smile widened with satisfaction. Almost instantly, she picked up on the peculiar thread of connection stretching between Rirui and Krai.'Does this elf have feelings for Master? It seems we’ve found a fitting representative for the elven race here.'Shizuku’s expression shifted into a mischi

    Rirui returned to face her father, alone."Where are Lord Krai and Lady Agnes?" Huda asked, looking up as his daughter approached."They... they cannot be disturbed right now.""Ah, I see. Then let them be. We must be careful not to incur their anger."Rirui nodded softly, her gaze slightly averted."Father, I’m going to take a bath now. I’ll see you later.""Why so suddenly? You usually bathe in the evening," Huda remarked, staring at Rirui with a look of pure bewilderment.Rirui hurried away without offering an answer. Had anyone been observant enough, they would have noticed the deep, burning crimson staining her cheeks. Unfortunately, Huda saw none of it, leaving him unable to even guess what had just transpired with his daughter.Huda stood up and paced a few meters before pausing. He stared down at a peculiar dampness on the floor, his brow furrowing in hesitation."What is this liquid? I don't recall anyone spilling a drink..."He hesitated for a moment, then absentmindedly wip

    "Rirui, as the strongest warrior of Haku Village... you understand just how utterly powerless we are against them, don't you?"Rirui stood frozen. Her gaze flickered nervously, stealing a glance toward Krai and Agnes before she looked away."I know, Father," she whispered, her voice barely audible.Huda took a long, heavy breath."If they truly wished for it, they could wipe our village off the map in the blink of an eye. So tell me... why would they go through the trouble of negotiating with us?""That is...""The Master has no taste for coercion. That is the only reason we've chosen the path of dialogue," Agnes interjected, her tone cold and indifferent."He... dislikes forcing others?"Rirui looked up at Krai. In response, Krai offered her a bright, gentle smile—the kind of smile that seemed to radiate pure warmth.Fushuuu—!Rirui’s face turned a violent shade of crimson. She looked down instantly, her heart hammering against her ribs as she succumbed to an overwhelming wave of shy

    "How dare you fire your arrows at my Master! Such insolence is unforgivable." Agnes’s voice was frigid—flat, detached, and utterly devoid of mercy.Magic surged from Agnes in a violent tide, warping the space around her until it fractured like a jagged spiderweb. The once-fierce elves instantly lost their color. Their bravado evaporated as they collapsed to the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.Four out of the five elves had lost control of their bladders right then and there. The only one spared that humiliation was the female elf standing in the center, though she fared little better."Agnes? Compose yourself.""But Master, they dared to attack you!"Krai offered a relaxed smile, lightly patting Agnes on the shoulder. "Their little stunt didn't even singe a single hair on my head. There’s no need to be so worked up.""...Very well."Agnes withdrew her overwhelming aura, casting a terrifyingly sweet smile at the five elves huddled on the ground."We wish to speak with yo
