Chapter 18: Devil

The devil was a worthless being.

The lowest level devil that was spread all over hell.

Just a lowly being born with the power to control the hellfire that any devil could control.

However, she was a devil-like being.

A twisted desire to improve that could not tolerate anyone being above her, and a twisted desire to crush the heads of those who stood above her.

Armed with a primal desire more like a devil than anyone else, she fought through hell with just that twisted arrogance.

She fought, fought, and fought again.

The lowly devil fought everything she saw more desperately and diligently than anyone else.

It was a path of struggle that she could walk because she was a devil, and because she was the only one among devils.

Countless victories and defeats piled up for her.

Victories became the firewood that fueled her desires, and she moved forward, while defeats became the nutrients that grew her body, preventing her from collapsing.

She continued to advance without wavering at all, even against the lowest level devils, and grew endlessly as much as her will allowed.

Victory or defeat, all she did was go on endlessly, endlessly with the primal and destructive desire to break the heads of those above her, until at the end, only six people remained above her.

The strongest beings in Hell who ruled Hell, the land of demons.

Only the six demon lords called Hexagrems remained above her!

And by the time she got there, Hell called her this:

The demon of struggle.

Sargatania.

That was the name of a demon who had been giving Hell a huge shock.

However, the six demon lords did not look so fondly on the one who was shaking Hell.

In fact, the power that was so powerful that it threatened their positions, regardless of whether it shook Hell or not, was the most annoying.

That is why they united as one, unlike demons, and trapped and sealed Sargatania.

[You, you damned bunch…!!!]

[Sargatania. You shallow fool. Did you really think we would accept a challenge from someone as lowly as you?]

[I’ll lock you in a distant dimensional rift so you can never return here.]

[Die mercilessly in a void that no one can see, Sargatania.]

[How dare you, how dare you…!!!]

They locked Sargatania in a distant dimensional rift and sealed her to block any threats.

[You sons of bitches!!! For making me look like this!!! If I just get out, if I just get out, I’ll rip all your damn brains out-!!!!]

Sargatania had been locked up for a really long time, but she didn’t change at all and continued to spew out endless flames of resentment.

And so, one day, after everything had gone by like a horde of kalpas, Hwaaaaa-!!!

“Oh?! It worked!!!”

Surprisingly, the resentment she endlessly spewed out created a small crack in the seemingly perfect seal, and in the meantime, a hand of salvation was extended to her.

The middle world where humans live.

By the summoning magic of a student at the Academy, the highest educational institution run by the empire that rules over Middle-earth, she was released from the seal that held her and summoned to Middle-earth as a summoned beast!

[Human?! How dare a human like me handle me…!!!]

Whether she was released or not, she continued to spew out her own karma that was consistently filled with twisted desires, hatred, and anger, as if the demon Sargatania was still alive and well, as if she had not changed at all…

[Handle it for once!!! You wretched people-!!!!]

As time passed, she really changed.

She became a demon who held a human in her heart.

However, did the world not like the fact that a demon could enjoy such happiness?

Her happiness, her love did not last long and collapsed in vain.

[You are like a bunch of filthy savages who follow a disgusting god…]

How could I forget the grudge of that day?

Even after all that time had passed, the dog-like demon lords appeared again, still scared.

And those god-like authors and religious thugs who collaborated with those demon lords without any pride…

Even before that, they had been tormenting their contract holders just because they were demons…!!

Crunch!

The strong legs and sturdy hooves lightly crushed the head of the burrower who was wearing the white priest’s robes like before.

Crunch!!

Those guys wearing armor imbued with the power of a god, similar to those who dared to point their swords at their contractors without even knowing the situation, were crushed to pieces with one blow of a hammer as if they were nothing.

Th-they!

The disgusting guy who dared, dared to smile and corner his beloved contractor was chewing up the guy he was thinking of.

Is this guy also the same kind of scum… It tasted disgusting too.

[I hate you guys so much. So disgusting. So ugly! Just looking at you makes me angry-!!!]

The six eyes of the giant demon trembled and looked at the guy who had peed viciously.

[But why… no matter how much I trample on you, I can’t relieve this, this burning emptiness…?]

“S-save me… just save me… please, at least my life…!!”

Oh, right. This guy who was dressed so dazzlingly.

Was he the Pope or something?

The demon that was shedding lava instead of tears grabbed the human next to him.

“Th-that..!! My daughter, my son, my son-in-law…!! My grandchild, my wife, my position, my treasure!!! I can give it all!! So, so great demon… please…. please at least my life….!!!!”

Hurrrr…!!

In an instant, the human caught in her grasp was engulfed in hellfire, and even his soul turned to ashes and shattered.

A guy who serves God, and who holds the high office of the Pope, begging for a demon…

[My eyes feel dirty just looking at you. You disgusting bunch.]

Just looking at you made me feel sick, so I grabbed him with my own hands and split him in half with just my jaw.

The screams that this little guy let out were not even enjoyable.

Buck, buck! Buck!!

The demon that trampled and crushed even the corpse habitually scratched its chest.

Because from the day I lost my contractor, it felt like the place was empty.

But, but… it’ll be okay now.

[Contractor, contractor… ah, my Zion…!!]

Because I could feel him.

That day, I felt the aura of the contractor I had swallowed with my own hands.

And at that moment, the body of the demon that was as large as a building twisted and shrank.

It transformed into a healthy, athletic beauty with horns and reverse joints, about 3 meters tall and muscular.

Just like when I wandered the world with the only one who had ever sat next to me…

And at the same time, I also felt a disgusting aura.

<It’s you. The vile demon who dared to slaughter my faithful servants…!>

The blood of the dead and fallen corpses opened a door in the sky, and from beyond it, a giant surrounded by ten wings, shining with a pure white light, descended.

The being that the people of this holy land worshipped and called a god, a being that gave off a similar aura to the goddess that the angry demon had personally torn apart in the past…!!

[Decided.]

The demon’s distorted face stared fearlessly at the god that had appeared.

[I have to scatter his blood and flesh to complete this bouquet for him.]

<Ha! As expected of a vile demon, you’ve lost your mind!!>

The demon wasn’t just the demon of struggle, Sargatania.

She was the one who slaughtered the six demon lords of hell.

The blasphemer who chewed up gods to death.

And, the one and only supreme being of hell.

The demon of endless slaughter and struggle.

Sargatania ‘Rosengarten’ Glasharas.

The demon kicked the ground to tear the goddess apart.

And so… while no one knew what was happening inside the holy kingdom due to the holy relics protecting it…

Ryuushion, a man who had fled to Europe to escape the monsters that suddenly appeared, was also resting in a hotel without knowing anything.

“Ugh… it’s expensive, but it’s worth it, you know?”

Well, in this day and age, what place wouldn’t be like that…

Europe is also a continent with a lot of hardships.

As such, tourism-related businesses such as hotels had lost much of their power… but that didn’t mean they had completely disappeared.

Even among the few remaining high-end hotels, the highest-end hotels were still boasting the best service and continuing their business.

And as I was enjoying them, I was also admiring that aspect.

“It’s Italy, so the food is delicious—.”

No matter how chaotic the world is, you have to eat to live!

Therefore, since Italy’s excellent cooking skills were still alive and well, my body and tongue were resting very well.

In a very luxurious way.

… Without even knowing what kind of monster was running wild nearby right now…!!

And without even knowing that it wouldn’t be long before it really came!!

***

The Lord of Hell transforming into a human! Sargatania!!

Even though she looks like this, she’s still very pretty when she transforms into a human form?
