I walked out of the office with Stella.
　The corridor, the walls and ceiling, and the view from the window - everything in the world is colored in two colors, black and white.

What's going on...?
...There's a huge monster approaching in front of the castle's main gate.

　Stella senses it with her clairvoyant eyes.

''Is it related to this phenomenon...?''

　I don't know, but I moved with Stella to the front gate of the castle.

　The landscape had regained its original colors before I knew it.

　However, it wasn't completely back to normal.
　There was a thin red blur floating around in places.

''No way, this is...''

　Stella mumbled with a huff.

'You have an idea,'
There are only a few people in the entire Demon Realm who can do this kind of imitation. Perhaps it's her...

　Shhhh.....

　Just as Stella was about to say something, a ground-shaking sound came from ahead.

　It was probably nearly twenty meters long.
　It's a giant made of ochre-colored rock - a rock demon (golem).

　That's the one Stella sensed earlier.

Enemy.........found......

　His red eyes flashed as he looked like he was wearing a helmet.
　Zuzu, zuzu, shaking the ground, coming closer.

　With obvious hostility.

''This guy........!

　I turned the back of my right hand and showed the demon king's crest.

　But the golem won't stop.
　Even if it knows I'm the Demon King, it will still come at me.
　And...

Demon Lord!

　The Lirim and the soldiers came running in.

''Hey guys, we're here to protect the Demon King.
Hey!
I'll show you those skills I was working on.

　Garuda's Zamat took off with Aryu the Harpy.

　Zamato, who was ahead of him, towed the golem and broke away.
　From behind him, Aryu fired a feathered arrow.

　It's the Air Battle Demons' special coordinated technique, 'Formation Zamato'.

　But the golem's armor made of rock easily repelled all of it.

''I didn't know it wouldn't work....
''Kyah!''

　The golem shot out stone rubble like a bullet as a counterattack.
　The two demons dared to be shot down and slammed to the ground.

''Demon Lord, that was an illusion.

　Stella opened her third eye and announced.

'An illusion?'
However, it seems to be an apparition with substance. It's a monster that can only exist in this 'dream world (Nightmare World)'.

　The world of dreams...?
　I don't know what you're talking about, but.

If it's an illusion, feel free to take it down, right?
Please.
"'Dark Edge'!

　I thrust out my right hand along with a spell.
　I released a crescent-shaped blade created by magic power and cut the golem in two.

''Ooh, in a single blow!

　Lilim and the others cheered.


You're gonna have to train hard...

　Zamato and Aryu were chagrined.



'Stella, what do you know about this space?'

　I asked Stella.

''Perhaps this is the creation of one of the Demon Army Chiefs, the Dream Demon Princess (Dead Charm) Feria.

　Stella nods.

'However... I think she's in a runaway state.
Runaway?
Originally, this space was only meant to affect a limited number of targets. But now, it's indiscriminate... and probably affects every demon in King's Landing.
"All over King's Landing...
Feria's ability is to put the subject to sleep and draw them into the dream world, the Nightmare World.... While the subject is asleep, they cannot come out of it.

　Stella explains.

'And in her dreams, Feria becomes the queen of all. She will rule over everything and have immense power.
The point is, this place is like a different space. So why don't we just tear it down and get out of here?
It's impossible. The world of the dreamscape is indestructible, indestructible by any means, physical or magical.
Why don't you just try it?

　I held up my right hand.

"'Ragnabomb,'

　A black energy ball is released into the sky.

　Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

　With a huge explosion, there was a huge hole in a corner of the sky.

'It looks like it's broken,'
Oh, you are....

　Stella is looking at me with a stunned face.

　By the way, that was a medium to high destructive power for a demon king's spell.
　Maybe if it was around the highest level 'Burning Heavenly Flame (Mega Fire)' or 'Breaking Heavenly Thunder (Mega Thunder)', the entire sky would have been blown away.

''The only thing left to do is to escape. Not the sky, let's make a hole closer to the ground.''

　However, an attack spell that is too powerful will also cause damage to the surrounding area.
　The type that concentrates the destructive power in as small an area as possible would be good.

　I call up the spell list to find the best magic.

　And that's when it happened.

''Ugh........I feel sick........''

　Suddenly, Lilim collapsed.

''Uh, oh...''

　No, she wasn't the only one, the other soldiers were also falling one by one in anguish.
　Furthermore.

Ugh.........

　Even Stella collapsed and looked in anguish.

'Hey, what's going on, guys!
I think ... part of the world is broken because ... because ... because ... because of ...

　Stella points to the sky above with trembling fingertips.
　There was the hole I broke with magic just now.

''When you ... injure the world ... that damage is ... to us ... too. ........ugh.

　Is it because I'm the only one unconcerned because I'm a demon king?
　Or is it due to my magical abilities?
　Or maybe it's another reason I don't know, but whatever.

You don't want to forcefully destroy the world...

　I chanted a spell at the empty hole.

"'Rune Repair'.

　It's the same magic I used before when I was repairing the wards of the demon world.
　The empty hole was completely blocked by my magic power.

''Ha, ha, ha.......ta, you're saved.

　I looked around and saw that Stella and the others were on their feet.
　'It looks like they're all right now.

'I'm sorry. I'm sorry for making you all suffer.
'No, it wasn't what I expected either...'

　And, Stella.

　Anyway, we can't just destroy the world and escape.

"Well, what are we going to do...

　We can't stay in this place forever.
　There might be another enemy attacking us like before.

　Or in another place, other demonic tribes might be attacked.

''Stella, how do we get everyone out of this world?''
The easiest thing to do is to meet the Dreamer Princess (Deadcharm) Feria.

　I asked, and Stella answered.

'For Feria?'
'She is asleep somewhere in this world. She is using her magic to create a dream world. If we can wake her up, this world will disappear and we will be able to return to our own world.



　According to Stella's clairvoyant eyesight, Feria was located in the outer edge of the magical world in the western region.

　However, even with her power, she couldn't get an exact location.
　In the dream, it seems that Stella's clairvoyance also limits her abilities.

　Well, we have a general location, now we just need to go to the periphery and look for it.

　We set off for the western outskirts of the city.
　The members are me, Stella, Lilim and the soldiers.

　At a time like this, if Belle, aka Belga Elfida, was there, it would be a quick way to get to Feria, but it was nowhere to be found.

　Is she not captured by this world to begin with?
　Or maybe she's in a remote place──.

　Whatever the case, we keep going.

　After walking for a few hours, the road suddenly disappears.

　The next moment, a beautiful meadow and a small hill appear ahead of us.
　At the top of the hill, a magnificent castle loomed up.

''This is........but why.......?''

　Stella has a puzzled look on her face.

'What's wrong, Stella?'
It's not supposed to be in a place like this but....
Stella....?

　I wonder if I know the place.

I'm sure of it. This is the Duke of Aaserwein...

　Stella looked at me and said.

'This is my home.'
