Chapter 379
"Ah, my head hurts..."
The next day, Wolbach woke up with a dizzy head and discovered she was sleeping in a room.
And that wasn't the problem; the problem was that there were other people in this room.
Her own disciple, Megumin, was hugging the boy and sleeping next to her.
"Miss Wolbach, you're awake."
Yunyun had already gotten up; her biological clock didn't allow her to sleep in.
"No, how did I end up here?"
"You got drunk last night, so everyone carried you in here."
"But why are you all here too?"
"A family sleeping in one room, what's so strange about that?"
"Uh..."
Wolbach felt something was off, but couldn't put her finger on it; plus, Broly hadn't slept over, so she fundamentally didn't realize the severity of the situation.
And after that, eating, living, and bathing together became a matter of course; perhaps because of Broly's youthful appearance, Wolbach didn't have much vigilance either.
By the time the Red Demon King's Birth Banquet approached, she was already able to relax and enjoy the massage techniques of her disciple's fiancé, her nominal little husband.
And the rate of increase of her Happiness Value was surprisingly not less than Eris's.
Of course, Wolbach's bosom was larger than Eris's, rivaling Wiz's, but unlike the sensation of Wiz's ice slime body, hers was the sensation of a fire slime.
Broly heard Wolbach say that her beast-form half-body was a magic dragon, skilled in fire magic, so her body temperature was slightly higher than a common person's; she liked staying in hotter places and doing hotter things, like soaking in hot springs — others could only soak for an hour at most, while she could soak for half a day.
Catering to her preferences, every time Broly scrubbed her in the bath, he would scrub Wolbach until her whole body turned red, her Qi and Blood circulating rapidly inside her body.
Of course, he didn't dare use the Bliss Finger, because when the Bliss Finger was used on Eris it had a counterproductive effect; Broly suspected this might be related to their relationship not being deep enough.
Before they knew it, the cicadas cried more, and summer had arrived; after a month and a half of preparation, the day of the Red Demon King's Birth Banquet arrived.
On the Fortress City side of the Belzerg Kingdom's border, these past days a batch of guests who received the Red Demon King's invitations had arrived one after another.
And the only topic these guests from various places gathered to discuss was the mysterious Red Demon King.
That invitation letter that mysteriously appeared at their bedsides made every noble entering the Fortress City not dare to treat the sender lightly, and they didn't even dare to not show up.
"What do you say, who is that Red Demon King? Gathering so many people, what exactly does the other party want to do?"
"Don't know, but judging from the literal meaning of the invitation, it should be wanting to announce its existence to the world."
"Rude scoundrel, lawless fellow; once the other party shows their face, I'll definitely have my guards rush up and beat them to death!"
A middle-aged noble who was knocked unconscious from behind by Broly while working at night said furiously.
Heaven knows how great a fright he suffered; even now he can't hold his head high, and even the maid serving him at night is of no use.
"Beat to death? Your Excellency's guards sure have strength; I heard that even the Belzerg King received an invitation from the Red Demon King in his sleep.
That Majesty is a genuine Advanced Class; even he didn't detect it and had something placed by his bedside. That Red Demon King, even if not a real Demon King, definitely possesses formidable strength."
The crowd discussed heatedly, and among them there were not a few who wanted to act against the Red Demon King who had intruded into their homes and placed invitations at their bedsides.
From the quantity of attendants and guards brought along, this point could be seen.
These people wanted to join forces and kill the presumptuous Red Demon King.
And this news was personally revealed by the Belzerg King.
Worth mentioning is that the old Belzerg King was very dissatisfied with the Saiyan boy's behavior of breaking into his bedchamber in the middle of the night with another thief girl to deliver an invitation.
Especially after he discovered it and rose up to resist, only to be knocked to the ground by Broly in two or three punches and kicks, unable to get up.
"Belzerg King, I wonder how you have considered my previous proposal?"
The Bradlu Kingdom's King personally brought his personal guards to the Fortress City; at this moment he was speaking with the Belzerg Kingdom's old King.
"My daughter already has a sweetheart; I can only decline Bradlu King's proposal."
The old King didn't give a good expression, giving a perfunctory reply.
"Truly regrettable; then we can only form a marriage alliance with the Elroad Kingdom."
"Is this the time to talk about that? That mysterious Red Demon King is supposed to appear today."
"Just a petty villain hiding their head and showing their tail; as long as the other party dares to appear today, I will definitely make them pay the corresponding price for intruding into my Royal Palace."
"I agree with Bradlu King's words."
The Elroad King walked over at this time, followed by a few high-level Professional guards.
Must say, although the Elroad Kingdom's military capability is no good, they sure have a lot of money.
The hired guards' strength surprisingly doesn't fall short of the other two military powers' Imperial Guards.
Just as the humans who had come to the Fortress City held malice toward the mysterious Red Demon King.
The Red Demon King's Birth Banquet had also reached the time to start the banquet.
But after being overtime for a while, nothing happened at all.
"No one appeared at all; truly just a bluffer?"
"Maybe seeing so many of us here, that Red Demon King simply doesn't dare show their face."
The Red Demon King not appearing on time made the nobles from various countries who felt fear after receiving the invitations start venting their emotions.
They had to admit that after receiving the invitation at their bedside, they were afraid; this meant the intruder wanting to take their lives was no problem at all.
And now, the invitation sender not appearing meant the other party might be afraid of them; them uniting wasn't incapable of self-preservation.
"After going back, we must join forces to issue a warrant for the person or faction who sent the invitations."
"Right, daring to randomly intrude into our homes is a heinous crime; we must find the criminal and then hang them!"
"Hum—"
Just as some people were spouting big words, a humming sound suddenly came from the ground.
"What sound?"
Not just sound, the ground soon also transmitted a rhythmic trembling sensation.
"Quick, look outside the city, what is that?!"
At the edge of the city wall, someone cried out in alarm.
The group of people lying prone on the city wall soon saw, on the distant horizon, a troop of black knights charging over.
Those black knights all wore pitch-black heavy armor on their bodies, and beneath them were black, handsome unicorn warhorses; the sound and the ground trembling sensation seemed to be precisely caused by the horses' hooves striking the ground in neat unison.
"Amplification magic, increase it from far to near for me; earthquake magic with only the trembling sensation, also gradually strengthen it for me; those releasing illusion magic, raise your spirits, don't get close and let anyone spot the abnormality at a glance."
Youhui, mixed in among the crowd on the Fortress City's wall, issued on-site commands via transmission-type magic; and the Red Demon Clan Archmages mixed in the black knight army, as the people using amplification magic increased the amplification magic's effect, the few using illusion magic also gradually increased their magic power output.
The Red Demon Clan members inside the Fortress City lay at windows watching the black knight corps approaching outside the city, cooperating by using an improved version of earthquake magic against the ground, letting the guests inside the city participating in this large-scale scripted murder mystery feel the most realistic trembling sensation.
"Fear magic, secretly release it within the crowd."
Commotion began to arise; although Belzerg's Old King 'timely' ordered the fortress city's soldiers to stop it, the oppressive atmosphere still spread to the various nations' nobles on this side.
"Halt, all of you disperse, form ranks, block the false illusions behind us!"
Darkness, draped in black armor, issued the performance command; a group of black knights played by Belzerg Kingdom's elite Royal Knights hurriedly dispersed and formed ranks.
With a quantity of only three hundred, they actually blocked the front of the three thousand black knight illusions created by illusion magic behind them.
People far away on the city wall, even looking through telescopes, couldn't make out what difference there was between the individual black knights wearing face armor.
And following along with the black knight corps came high-level monsters PY'd by the Axis Cult Archbishop; these monsters each brought their families.
Some even drove over monster groups wandering the wilderness, yet they gathered into a beast tide, converging on the west side of the Fortress City, stopping on both sides of the black knight corps' formed ranks.
And in the sky, a group of flying magic beasts; among them the most glorious was a pitch-black magic dragon, and ten-odd giant dragons beside it.
However, aside from the Evil God young lady who had temporarily recovered her magic dragon form, the other giant dragons all seemed to have an inconspicuous lump on the back of their heads.
Who could understand; they were just sleeping in the Dragon Nest or out hunting, and then they ran into a humanoid little monster, who beat them with fists, threatening them to go participate in a large-scale scripted murder mystery.
What a scripted murder mystery was, these giant dragons didn't quite understand, but the other party said if they didn't listen, they'd be eaten; truly smelling the Dragon Slayer's scent on the other party, having actually experienced the strength gap, the giant dragons wanting to live just obediently came over.
"Roar—"
At this moment, this group of giant dragons, facing the direction of the Fortress City, let out roars of their grief and indignation at being violently enslaved by an otherworldly monster.
"You humans, welcome to attend this Demon King's Birth Manifestation Banquet……"
Lines practiced countless times rang out from atop the Evil God young lady's beast-form body's head.
Heightened by a few points, with makeup completely biased toward a mature style, Megumin walked to the front end of her master's head.
On her body was a fiery-red formal dress; her hair had been lengthened by hair growth potion, dyed the same flame color as the dress.
The Red Demon Clan girl, padded with pads to at least three cup sizes larger in bust, exuded a dangerous yet captivating aura from head to toe, formally appearing before the human guests of the super-large-scale scripted murder mystery.
And this disguise was for the sake of still being able to live normally in the human world afterwards; although she still retained seven or eight parts of Megumin's original appearance, she would absolutely not be recognized as a person.
"My name is Huihui, the Hui of sunlight brilliance, am the newly born Demon King, and am you humans' greatest enemy!"
Amplification magic spread the girl's voice throughout the entire city, letting every invited scripted murder mystery guest inside and outside the city clearly hear this speech.
"Does this count as a declaration of war?"
Bradlu King with a black face, Ailuode King's face was pale; he had been somewhat scared by the scene outside the city; as for Belzerg King, his face was calm, revealing no abnormality at all.
"Though you say that, this King has no interest in the matter of eliminating humans, and that is also the reason this King invited you all to come observe the ceremony.
It's just this King didn't expect you humans to actually be so enthusiastic, preparing such a heavy gift for this King before the banquet even begins~"
"Click~"
Megumin snapped her fingers, and a roar of response came from afar; soon a group of drake-species wyverns flew over.
After arriving here, they all landed; soldiers jumped down from the wyverns' backs, directly facing the magic dragon on whose head the Red Demon King stood, kneeling on one knee.
"Eh, aren't those your Bradlu Kingdom's Dragon Knights? Why would they appear here, and even kneel toward that Red Demon King?"
Ailuode King recognized those troop types, directly looking at Bradlu King beside him, his eyes containing suspicion and confusion.
"I don't know, I indeed brought them over, but it was to have them ambush outside."
However, Bradlu King right now was also dumbfounded; he brought the Dragon Knight Corps over to deal with the Red Demon King.
If the Red Demon King didn't appear, taking Belzerg Kingdom's frontline fortress by the momentum wasn't impossible either.
But the current situation was a circumstance he fundamentally hadn't anticipated.
"Corps Commander Kolda, what are you doing, why are you kneeling toward our enemy?!"
A messenger had already run to the wall top, questioning the kneeling Dragon Knight Corps Commander.
"Enemy, no, we have already surrendered to the Red Demon King-sama; now we are already Red Demon Army people; at the same time, we are also the Puppet and Revenge Goddess Regina-sama's loyal believers; we are willing at any time to offer up our lives for Regina-sama."
Once the Puppet and Revenge Goddess's name came out, the Dragon Knight Corps' kneeling at this time instead had a suitable explanation.
"Your Majesty, our Dragon Knights seem to have been manipulated."
And this is precisely the ability of the former Demon King Army Executive Intelligence Director, Dark Priestess Seresitina.
Of course, with this Twilight Believer's ability, originally there was no way to control this many Dragon Knights; after all, the controlled objects would also resist.
But after Broly helped knock out the Dragon Knights, this Dark Priestess just drank twenty-odd bottles of mana potion and achieved this.
Bradlu Kingdom's ace elite corps secretly infiltrated over, but before a Saiyan who can sense Qi, they were like lice on a bald head.
Upon learning such an elite army was lurking near the Fortress City, Youhui decisively wrote a new script.
The Revenge Goddess Cult thereby gained a free Dragon Knight Corps; the great Red Demon King Megumin also gained the corresponding opening intimidation effect.
Bradlu King was numb; Ailuode King was also a guy with no ideas; the two's gazes involuntarily turned toward the most reliable Belzerg Old King.
The Old King said nothing, merely stepping forward at this critical moment, becoming a new supporting character, speaking his lines.
"What does Your Excellency want to do? If you want to invade human territory, then by all means come; the past Demon King Army stopped here, and you are no exception!"
These words were spoken with righteous severity; the Old King's personal charm released at this moment, and the surrounding crowd only felt their sense of security increase.
"Belzerg King, huh; this King has heard of your courage/strength……"
Super Villain Megumin chuckled lightly, then delivered a commercial pitch to the old King of Belzerg.
After expressing respect to this human hero king, she changed the subject.
"However, although your courage is commendable, unfortunately, I am no longer that useless Demon King of the past!"
The old Demon King mixed among the ordinary people outside the city, hearing Megumin's lines, twitched at the corners of his mouth twice.
"Well, as the debut of the new Demon King, how can there be no beautiful fireworks? Bring me my staff~"
Megumin originally wanted to boast a bit more about herself as the Demon King, but she received a timely message.
The other party told her not to lower her coolness with too much nonsense, and to hurry to the next process of demonstrating her own strength.
Broly was more obedient; disguised as a dwarf halfling, he stepped forward, took a Crimson Staff borrowed from the Belzerg Kingdom's treasury and now modified into a more gorgeous form with triple Fire Magic bonus, retrieved it from the Crystal Palace Space, handed it over, and respectfully said: "Lady Red Demon King, your staff!"
"Pitch black, blacker than black, darker than darkness..."
A cold chanting voice rang out.
"Ah, she's chanting magic, this is Explosion Magic, she wants to bombard us with Explosion Magic?"
Inside the Fortress City, someone who could identify goods recognized the magic represented by the chant, and began to panic.
"Raise defensive magic."
Above the Fortress City, the light of numerous defensive magic circles lit up.
Regarding this, Megumin paid them no mind, only pointing her staff toward the direction where she had been preparing from half a month ago until now, her stage for showing off (acting cool).
"All Mana Nodes activated, Megumin's magic power has been poured in, everyone, we can teleport away from this side now."
A group of Red Demon Clan members wearing camouflage uniforms activated the Mana Nodes arranged on this side; the function of these Mana Nodes was only one: to increase the mage's maximum casting distance and casting range.
As long as magic power is sufficient, theoretically this thing can spread as wide as desired; as the linked main body, the mage's casting distance and casting range can be as wide as desired.
And now, on the Wilderness Stage where the Red Demon Clan was displaying the Red Demon King's power, they had actually arranged over a thousand Mana Nodes over the past half month.
The range covered by its nodes, just in length, was over fifty kilometers, and the width also reached over seven kilometers.
With Megumin's mountain-busting level of magic power, even if she were drained dry, it would be impossible to release an Explosion Magic of such a large range, but if adding Broly, this Super Charger, then it would be another matter.
At this moment, Broly stood behind Megumin, his left hand, at an angle absolutely invisible from the front, was reaching under the skirt of the great Red Demon King.
Close to the base of the thigh, that was where blood flowed faster after human excitement.
Of course, the heart position would actually be best, transmitting magic power would be faster, but that would easily be seen through by outsiders.
So, it could only be this sensitive part, and Broly's Qi was continuously poured from the contact surface into Megumin's body, which was being crazily drained of magic power by Explosion Magic at this moment.
Aqua's Purification Magic BUFF continued to take effect, making Megumin show no abnormality on the surface.
After she coldly pointed her staff toward the direction of the stage for displaying strength, countless Explosion Magic circles, almost endless to the eye, covered the sky over there.
For a beautiful world, offer up the Small Sun symbolizing nuclear peace!
"Explosion."
Unlike Megumin usually shouting loudly when casting Explosion Magic, Megumin as the Red Demon King merely spat out this line lightly.
The next moment, a blazing Small Sun appeared in this world; even from the universe, at this moment one could see the dazzling light erupting on this heath.
"Storm Magic blows up, creating aftermath scenes~"
"Black Knight side, make protective preparations, don't let the phantoms be blown away."
"People of the Fortress City, get in position, 3, 2, 1, shatter the defensive magic circles for me!"
Someone timely nervous directed the stage situation.
