Demon Lord.

( Yuuki's POV )

While the capital was burning I entered the castle flying through a window, the place was full of corpses from both sides of the conflict, I started running through the hallways of the castle and the first signs of life I heard were the screams of a damsel in distress.

Without thinking twice I ran to the source of the scream and entered a room by kicking open the door, In the room I saw a soldier on top of a girl with silver-green hair and wearing a luxurious dress, there was no doubt she was a princess.

The soldier had a dagger and was about to fall on the princess but before he could, I grabbed him by the back of his neck and threw him as hard as I could out the nearest window, There is no doubt he would die when he hits the ground but he should have thought about that before attacking this innocent girl.

Yuuki: hey are you okay?

I offered my hand to help the girl get up but she just looked at me without saying anything, upon closer inspection she was quite pretty and I felt something similar to how I felt when I met Yumina and Leo, Maybe that's because they are all princesses, I left those thoughts for another time when I saw a wound on the girl's shoulder, I healed her wound but she was shaking a little, which was understandable with what is happening, I patted her head to calm her down a bit.

Yuuki: don't worry, you're safe now.

???: s-sorry, I've never had much contact with men, I was a little n-nervous.

The girl blushed and put her hands on her cheeks in embarrassment, how adorable.

???: princess!!

???: ah Carol.

Suddenly a blonde female Knight named Carol entered the room and she became alert when she saw me.

Carol: who are you?

???: Carol this person saved my life.

Carol: Is that true?

Yuuki: yeah, my name is Yuuki, my companions and I saw the situation in the capital and decided to lend a hand.

???: Yuuki-sama.

Carol: I see, my name is Caroline Rillettes, Knight of the Third Order of the Empire, you can call me Carol.

Lucia: My name is Lucia Rea Regulus, third princess of the Regulus empire, I thank you for all your help.

After they introduced themselves I opened a portal to my ship, which surprised the two girls.

Yuuki: The others must have the situation outside under control, this portal will take you to a safe place, Carol take the princess with you.

Carol: Got it.

Lucia: No, I will be fine, Yuuki-sama I beg you to save my father and older brother.

Lucia refused to escape and I could see that she wasn't going to change her mind, She had to see what had happened to her family, and I could understand that.

Since we didn't have time to waste, I princess carried the princess, she let out a cute shriek and instinctively put her hands on my neck.

Yuuki: try to keep up with me, Carol.

I restarted my search, running through the castle's hallways kicking down every door in my path, I was going so fast that I almost kept running when I found a room with the emperor lying on the floor.

Lucia: Father!!

The emperor was surrounded and when they turned to see us, Carol recognized their leader.

Carol: General Bazoar! How dare you betray his imperial majesty!!

Bazoar: Princess Lucia, are you still alive? Well It doesn't matter, no one can stop me now.

Yuuki: Let me just ask you, what do you plan to do after taking control of the empire?

Bazoar: Of course, I'm going to break the non-aggression treaty with Belfast, soon other empires will fall.

Yuuki: It sounds like you really believe you can achieve that, are you stupid?

Of course, I can't forgive anyone who threatens the birthplace of one of my wives, this guy has just sealed his fate.

Bazoar: impertinent child, I have the power to achieve it, darkness come forth, respond to my call, diabolical prince, Demon Lord!!!

* Roaaarr*

The general used summoning magic to call a powerful humanoid demon with a goat's head and bat's wings, The girls behind me fell to their knees as if they had lost their strength, and then the general smugly showed an artifact on his wrist.

Bazoar: with this absorption bracelet I-

Yuuki: I don't care, now that I found the emperor there is no objection to you leaving, right princess?

Lucia: w-what?

Yuuki: Leave this to me, I'll free your empire by the end of the day.

I gave the princess a toothy smile and then I teleported the emperor, Lucia, and Carol to my ship, when I was alone with the enemy I shot myself towards the general cracking the ground at my feet, He couldn't follow my movements but my powerful fist was stopped in its tracks by an invisible barrier in front of Bazoar, He flinched when he saw my murderous look but his confident expression soon returned, He had another artifact on his other wrist.

Bazoar: It's useless, my bulwark bracelet blocks physical attacks and the Demon Lord blocks any magical attack, this is my perfect defense!

I jumped back and when I understood the situation I was in I couldn't help but laugh.

Bazoar: What's wrong with you, did despair make you lose your mind?

Yuuki: I already told you to shut up you're ruining my fun, I've been hungry for a good fight for a while.

I put on a macabre smile and began to release all my magical power, only for the demon to absorb it.

Bazoar: idiot, you're just making my demon stronger.

Yuuki: I'm making things more interesting, Sekirei no number, Kurokawa Yuuki, let's dance demon!

I created a giant dragon claw of pure energy and with a powerful punch, I destroyed the wall and sent the demon flying out of the castle.

Bazoar: impossible, my perfect defense! What did you do?

Yuuki: There are a lot of things out there besides magic.

I froze the general's feet to the ground and I jumped out of the castle, the demon that crashed on a roof roared at me in anger, showing that he was taking me seriously now.

Yuuki: give me your best shot demon, [Storm Dragon]

I fired a massive attack at the demon and he stopped it with a barrage of magical lasers, this is going to be fun.
