Jiregga is the second largest city of fire in the demon world after the royal capital.
　As the name suggests, it's a burning city lit by flames.

　In the center of the crimson dyed city, two demons were confronting each other.

　The demon army chief.
　They are both high-ranking demons who serve as the aides of the demon king.

"Judas, would you like to join me?

　The Beast Emperor (Gigantroa) Zegart cut to the chase.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that it's not a good idea. I was planning to spend the whole day lounging around.
Always a joke.

　While muttering, he looks at Polar Magic (Master) Judah without a care in the world.

　On the outside, he is a beautiful boy with silver hair and brown skin.
　He is aloof and has a soft smile.

　He doesn't look like a fierce man.

　But in fact, he is the owner of super magical power that surpasses that of an ordinary demon king.
　He is one of the oldest and most powerful demons who fought against the gods in the ancient battles along with the beginning demon king, Velfer.

　Even with Zeggert, he was an opponent that could kill you if you weren't careful.

What do you say, Juda?

　Without caution, the Beast Emperor showered the Extreme Demon with a sharp eye light.

''Huh........''

　Judah yawned, unaware of his nervousness.
　You can't see an ounce of wariness in his carefree face.

''Didn't you pledge your allegiance to the Demon King?

　And Judas.

'It is because I fear for the future of the demon world that I have risen in revolt. I cannot be loyal to the current generation of demon kings.
Future... hey.
'Freed is strong indeed. But as a king, he's too sweet. He is only a warrior's vessel, not a king's vessel.......therefore.

　Zegart takes a step forward.
　He slowly closes the gap between himself and Judas.

'I will rule this world. I have stood up for it.
'It just looks like a lust for power to me.

　Judah's eyes narrowed sullenly.

''You're a descendant of the former Demon King Rosgert, aren't you?''

　For a moment, a sharp killing intent dwells in his calm expression.

''You've always had ambitions and wanted to be the Demon King, right?　And I've been skulking around, getting ready - no?
What about it?

　Zegart met the killing intent head on.

''The ambition is there. Likewise, there is concern for the magical world. How can those two things be at the same time?''
'At least he ... Mr. Freed is acting in the best interest of the demon world. But you act to satisfy your ambitions.

　Judah smiles.

''I don't know, it sounds a bit thin to say that I'm worried about the demon world. It's really just a way of satisfying your ambitions, isn't it?　Is that a 'king's bowl'?
That's your answer?

　Zegart growled.

'You don't recognize me you understand that, don't you?
Okay.

　Judah's reply was light.

''Huh........!

　But the killing spirit that emanated from him was so heavy and strong that it seemed to crush Zegert.

　It would have been best if he could have been a pawn without laboring, but that didn't seem to be possible.
　Rather than playing a trick on Judas, I decided that the odds of bringing him into the fold were stronger if I told him my true intentions - but...

(Well, it can't be helped. Then that's it, until we take a different approach)

Judas, you are indeed strong.

　Zegert is inching closer and closer.

　The opponent is a sorcerer (Maegas).
　The theory was to close the distance and fight.

　If you move away, Judah will hit you with a series of top-level spells.

"But will they be able to fight us all at the same time?
At the same time?
I won't forget it, sir.

　As if melting out of space, a silver knight appeared.
　It's one of the demon army chiefs, Alchemist Tsukuyomi.

I didn't know you were here, too. Is that a warding device that blocks the detection of magic power?
It is a device that blocks and cloaks not only magic, but also light, sound, presence and everything else. I developed it myself.
"Wow, the homunculus is an evolved version of a modified life form. I didn't do much research on that side, but Izana, who created you, is a great alchemist.

　Judas smiled.

'So, it takes two demon chiefs?　So you think you can beat me?
No,

　A voice rang out from behind him.

　Zegart grins.
　Judah looks at him and gives him a quizzical look.

'There are three of them.'

　The voice that uttered was not Zegart or Tsukuyomi.

　Zang!

　The blade thrust out from behind──pierced Judah's chest.

''Ga.........ha.......

　The beautiful boy spat out blood from his mouth and collapsed.

''You........are.......?''

　Judah groaned with a shocked expression.

　Reflected in his eyes is the figure of a demon tribe with a bloody blade at the ready.
　The Beast Emperor's other ally.

"If you won't obey me, you'll have to be quiet for a while. We don't want them to join us in our fight against the Freed.

　Zegart looked down arrogantly at the fallen Judas.
