Chapter 10

""Wake up, Raiden-sama," Serena said, attempting to awaken.

"He doesn't have a pulse," Isadora said, attempting to rouse him.

Fillo shook him and said, "Wake up, Oni-chan, please wake up." "How could Atrocittus have defeated Raidan so easily?"

"The main question," Isadora inquired, "is how we lost our mana when we faced him."

"I believe he used the portion of the demon priest, Amok, who gave the 3rd demon king powers during the war; I thought it was destroyed and sealed, but I see Atrocittus discovered it," Selena explained.

"Is there nothing we can do to save him?" Isadora was perplexed.

"All we can do is hope for a miracle, which would only occur if Violet were present." said Serena

"Oh Violet, I wish you were here."

There were celebrations in the dragon castle because the demon lord would be crowned if he found a bride, and Violet was chosen to be his bride.

Violet pleaded, "Unhand me, you monster, leave me alone, and please let me go heal Raiden."

Atrocittus slapped her and said, "Shut your mouth, you unfaithful insect, your dear hero is dead as I choked and snapped his neck."

"No way, no way, it can't be, he can't die, not again," she knelt on the floor.

Atrocittus pulls her hand and tells her to shut up, "what's done is done, you will save the dragon clan, heal all the dead comrades with your healing magic and then soon I, Atrocittus will rule all of the world"

"Never, I believe Raiden, no Shota will save me like he saved me before from that dog and chase out all the evil" said Violet with pride

He slams her against the wall "I don't care who this Shota is you're referring to. "Neither he nor the hero can save you because I not only have the demon lord's mana potion but also the sword of Hades, which can summon the dead, and all you need to do is heal like that witch of your mother who helped the previous hero destroy my clan, and once you do, all will bow to me," he throws her to the bed and rips her clothes, "let's do a little preview before our first night.""

"No, leave me," she cries as she walks back; he grabs her, but before he can touch her, a soldier appears and says, "Sir, the king awaits."

"What the king," said Violet

"Yes, the king, he set a deal with me" said Atrocittus, "Call the maids and dress her; you're lucky today, but only for a short time because we're getting married tomorrow."

"Sleep tight, my dear future wife," Atrocittus said, licking her.

"Where are you, Shota? Please save me," she cries from the side.

...

Back in the forest, the three demons make a decision.

"Wait a minute, I have an idea," Isadora said.

"What is it?" Serena inquired.

"Take him to the temple and take care of getting him healed, and I'll take care of getting an army to protect this city," Isadora said.

"I think it's a good idea," Fillo said.

"No, I'm not sure what spells they'll cast to get us out," Serena said, fearing the priests

"We have no other choice; either we do that or we watch and become the devil we were before," Isadora explained.

"Please Serena Onne- sama for Oni -Chan" teared Fillo

"Please Nee- Sama"

"Sigh, let's try" said Serena as they transformed their original look

"For Raiden" Isadora hands her hand

"For Raiden" Serena puts her hand

"For Oni-Chan" Fillo puts her hand

"Let's meet at dawn" said Isadora as she disappears as a liquid

"All the best" Fillo tells her

"Let's go, Fillo," Serena says as she takes Raiden and spreads her wings.

As they travel, the people become terrified as they see the demon fly and flee.

Back in the temple, as the healers and saints prayed that the demons not harm them, a huge gust of wind entered.

As she stepped inside the temple doors, it was the succubus herself.

The soldiers charged at her, brandishing spears.

Fillo growls as they point at her; she notices people becoming afraid of her and hides behind Serena.

Serena takes a step forward and declares, "My name is Serena, former demon general and queen of succubus, I come here at peace, not to fight, my demon lord is dead, and I intend no harm."

"And how can we agree on this?" asked the head priestess as she walked forward.

"I can assure you that we are not enemies; Lord Atrocittus is the one you are looking for."

"Liar" said a civilian

"All demons are same," said another

More and more insults were heard and both of them look terrified and Fillo gets scared

The head Priestess sees them and questions, "Then why have you come here?"

Serena opens her arms and shows a cold Raiden

"My lord, that's the hero"

"She must have killed him"

"Kill her"

"No, I didn't, the dragon lord did," said Serena

"Lies, more lies"

"Kill them"

Fillo jumps and shouts, "Oni- Chan is not dead, Serena Onne-sama did not kill him"

The priestess realises the three maid who were with him, "Are you perhaps the maids associated with Violet and residing in the Rayhouse mansion"

"Yes, Violet has been kidnapped and he tried to save her but he was killed by him"

"Impossible, where is the holy sword" asked the priestess

"No, she says the truth" says Megan, "I saw when we were coming to visit them and saw the sacrifice he made"

Serena transforms in her human self and falls to her knees, "Please, heal him"

The priestess sighs." Fine"

"but"

"Silence!" commanded the Priestess, "we need the hero now, he saved us and will save us again, we were fools trying to take his but now we need him the most until evil comes"

"Bring him to the alter"

Raiden was placed and the healers prayed and tried to heal him but no reaction

"What happened?"

"It's more worser, he is not reacting"

"Wake up Oni- Chan" said Fillo crying

"I'm going to join them," said the priestess

"I also will join, Violet taught me heal magic also, so I also will help," said Serena

"Do as you wish," said the priestess

"Stay here ok," said Serena

Fillo looked around as they used their mana to save him. "Come on, Oni-chan," and "I hope Isadora nee-sama is doing well."

Back in the forest, Isadora goes to the demon village and begs for assistance, but no one is willing to help. "Please, I beg you," she says. Isadora implores them

"Why should we aid a traitor like you to a hero who murdered our king?" asked Leo, the beast king and Fillo's father.

"He kidnapped my daughter and sold her as a slave."

"He did not, it was your daughter who contracted with him, she had more fun with him than the king himself, the king punished her for her misbehavior, but though she was a slave to Raiden, he never showed signs of ill-treatment and treated her like a sister."

"Lies, no human has ever shown kindness to me."

"Open your eyes Leo, have you ever seen our daughter that happy than staying in the demon village, she always wrote letters and asked for help, yet you ignored her, she came rarely here and you as a father haven't seen her pain, if she says Fillo enjoys her new life there, isn't it obvious that we repay the boy back?"

"I am a bad father, what have I done?" Leo sobs.

"It's not too late, let's help them for our daughter," said Frigga

"Fine, will assist you" said Leo

"Thank you, so much beast king" said Isadora

" we also will help" said the dark elf clan

" we also" the wolf clan, followed the orcs, goblins and all the clans who supported

In another world, Raiden awakens in his room, but it is not his room from the other world, but the room from his previous life. "What happened, was this a dream?" he wonders.

"Wake up, Shota," his mother yelled.

"Oka -san"

"Are you not going to school?"

"School?"

"Was this all a nightmare?"

As he walks to school, he thinks what happened? suddenly someone closes his eyes as he walks.

He turns and takes the person's hand in his.

"oww...."

"Shi.... Shizuka?" he was taken aback.

"It hurts" Shizuka says

"Shizuka, you're here?"

"Where else would I be"

He soon hugs her

"Baka, what are you doing?"

"Please, I don't care, please let me have a minute of your time"

"Leave me, we'll get late for class"

"Thank god, it's a dream" said Shota as they ran to class

"You have acting strange Shota; do you need to go to the nurse"

"No, I'm alright, looking at you heals me" he said smiling

"Ok that's weird" she goes and checks his temperature, "you really look sick, lets go to the nurse" and takes him to the nurse

At the nurse office, there was no one, except them both

"It looks like no one is here, lay down. I'll cover you"

Shizuka puts him in bed, "ok I'll leave you with the nurse"

Shota holds her hand, "Please don't leave me"

"Baka, what has happened to you?"

"I don't know but I had the strangest dream"

"A dream" she asked

"Yes, a very strange one that we were in another world where we were like foreign people"

She scoffs and laughs, " Are you watching anime again"

" What? No..."

"Then What?"

"I really don't remember"

"I see"

Suddenly a call comes, and its her manager, "Sorry I need to take this call"

"Stop, don't pick the call"

"why….."

"Just please"

"Alright… I got to go"

"No stay….. I feel alone"

" please pass me the phone"

"but…"

"just pass me" he gives his hand

She gives him and switches off

" Hey what the hell"

" I need you, I feel something is wrong"

"What you mean that dream?"

"Yes, I don't know whether it was false or not, I feel like I lost someone"

" sigh… don't worry, I'll be here with you"

"Thank You, you being here , this really heals me"

Stupid as always, she rubs his head

"hey, after class, can you wait near the backyard"

"why?..."

"I want to tell you something"

"fine….." said Shizuka as she left for P.E

He closes his eyes and gets visions," why can't I sleep"

As he got ok, as he left, he heard noises, as he checked, he saw Shizuka been dragged by a man

" Hey, what do you think you're doing" he questioned the man

"Its non of your business, so just scram" said the man

" Shizuka, do you know this man"

She nods, " he's my manger"

"Now you got, so just move along, she has a concert to attend"

" I don't want to go" she said

" what do you mean, you don't want to go, you want to make a joke out of me"

" ah.. it hurts" when he holds her

He get angry, " leave her"

"What?"

"I said leave her"

" Who are you to tell"

"she's.."

"She's your what"

He looks her in the eye and replies," she's my girlfriend"

"What?"

"Didn't I tell you; you can't get distracted with romantic affairs"

"Ah.. it hurts" she cries in pain

"leave her alone" he shouts and gets a vison disturbing him

" Huh, trying to be a hero, huh"

Before the manager could touch him, he dodges and punches him to his face

"wow… have you seen that punch, that guy nearly flew when he punched him" said a student

As everyone clapped and cheered, he took Shizuka's arm and ran

They stopped near the pavilion

"what's wrong with you" Shizuka questioned

"I … I love you"

She blushed, "what...."

He pulled her and gave a kiss to the lips

She was shocked

"Please, Please Shizuka leave the idol group"

"why are you saying this"

"I don't want to see you hurt, you're always the cheerful girl I ever met, and I don't want to miss you

She blushes and tears, "Baka Shota, Baka Shota" she hits him and they start kissing again

As they both kiss, Violet wakes up from the dream and sees, she's still in the castle

A maid comes, "Lady priestess, it's time"

"No…no. Raiden where are you?"

In the temple, all the healers try to bring back but no reaction

"What is going on?" said Serena

"He looks like he's recovering, but no sign, its as if the soul has passed to the afterlife"

"Please wake up" Filo cries

Suddenly a dong noise came, "I haven't heard that noise for a long time" said Serena

As they watched, the dragon army, led by Atrocittus and Violet chained, was entering the kingdom, and with them was the king himself. "That bastard..." the Priestess clenched her fists "Don't worry, we'll take care of this." as Serena signals Fillo

As they entered, the king walked forward, "here lies the holy sword of the great hero, and now it is in my hand, as of now, I'm the superior, I'm victorious, I'm..." before he could finish, the head fell, frightening the citizens.

"Victorious… Is this some kind of joke? A demon working for a human, now that's a joke "Atrocittus stated. "I've arrived victorious, I've slain the hero, so hail me!"

The soldiers chant his name," Long live Atrocittus, Long live Atrocittus"

He stops, " If anyone judges to object, speak now or forever hold your sins"

The people shout as they adventurers ready their weapons

"you all are unworthy, insects mend to be crushed" "can't you see" as he signals a pterodactyl flies and takes Raiden's body and presents to the citizens

" Raiden! Raiden!...." Violet cries

"Shut up insect, I'll kill you before the wedding or else I'll smash him"

She shuts her mouth

"As I was saying, your hero, is now dead, he's dead" Atrocittus laughs as other join

Everyone lower their heads, suddenly

" What if Oni- Chan is dead" said Fillo " he sacrificed so that he can slay people like you"

"ha aha says the traitor who betrayed the demons and join the humans, you will pay for this and demands a soldier to take her.

As the soldiers try to get her, shots are fired by the elves followed by all demon clans.

"Isadora nee-sama" she called out

" I'm here and I bought somebody also" said Isadora

" Mother? Father?"

"Im sorry so not responding you., now onwards ill try to connect with my daughter" said Leo as they hugged

"Ah.. what a reunion, have you'll come to die" Atrocittus said

" we have come to stop you" said Leo

"I would like to see you try" laughed Atrocittus

" Before you go through him, go through me" said Serena as she lands down

" My, all you idots will bath with blood" said Atrocittus charging them

The dragon men charged and also the demons followed by humans charged and fought while Serena fought Atrocittus

" You don't stand a chance against me" said Atrocittus

" I would like to see you try and she removes the demon sword and both of them battle

Isadora and Fillo fight and try to save Violet when a minotaur appears and charges at Isadora. "Go save Violet, I'll handle him," Isadora says as she fights him.

Violet is soon to be untied by Fillo.

"Thank God, you saved me," she says as she hugs Fillo.

"This is not the time we need to save him."

"Of course, lead the way."

Violet uses her healing powers on Raiden, but he still does not wake up," what's wrong?

As they both fought, Atrocittus grew tired of it and used the Hades roar to break the demon sword and kick Serena, "Enough is enough, I'm tired and sick of this nonsense," she tries to stand up, but he pushes her to the ground and begins kicking her.

Isadora attempts to stop Atrocittus, but he easily defeats her and pushes her aside.

Violet tries to wake him, "get up, get up"

Back to dream sequence, Shota is having his date with Shizuka

"Hey have some ice cream"

"Thanks"

As Shizuka looks at him, he feels kinda distracted

" Are you ok"

"Yeah"

" Shall we walk to the park"

"sure"

As they walked, he felt some visions coming

"Are you ok"

"yeah I'm kind of low"

"Sit down, I'll get you water" said Shizuka running

He sits and gets a visons

" Here"

"Thanks"

"I think we should end the date," said Shizuka

"No, its alright"

"No, you baka Shota, you need rest"

"Then a kiss"

Shizuka blushes and nods, and as they kiss, he sees Shizuka's funeral, his death, and his time as Raiden, as well as how he united with Shizuka, who is Violet, and saw her last taken by Atrocittus.

"This is all a dream," he says to her.

"What are you on about?"

"You and I are dead in a dream; we are now Raiden and Violet."

"You finally found out," Shizuka says with a smile.

"huh"

The park became desolate, and Shizuka is revealed to be the goddess.

" Kami-sama"

" Yes, you have worked hard, are you ready to go to your next journey"

"No wait, stop, this can't end. I have to save Violet"

The goddess shows the screen and shows all of the people fighting and Atrocittus beating Serena

"Do you want that kind of life, I can give you better, Shizuka can join you and you two can go on another journey"

He sees the fight and sighs "No, I Prefer this, this world is better, wherever she's there I'll be there"

" Very wise answer and for that, here is a gift"

The goddess give a kiss to his lips and Shota's body starts to glow

"All the best," said the goddess waving

he smiles and waves her back

Back to the fight, Violet tries to revive him but there's still no luck

"It's useless" Violet sighed

"What!, Please help him" cried Fillo

Suddenly The healers come

" Let us aid you" the head Priestess came from behind

she nods and with one shot all healers chant including Violet

"Please wake up Shota" Violet kisses him

As Violet kissed him a spark came and blinded everyone including Atrocittus

It was Raiden , i rose up back again carrying the goddess sword

"impossible" said Atrocittus

"Hey, long time no see" said Raiden

"It really is him!!" said Isadora as she sighed with relief

"Yay, Oni- Chan is back"

"Finally my prince has come" said Serena as she rests

Violet held her breath, and squeezed out the words hiding deep within her heart.

" Are you okay" he gave a hand

"Yes"

"Then" turning to Fillo, "Take care of her"

Fillo nods

"I'll be right back"

He flew straight to Atrocittus

" How are you alive?" he questioned

" lucky I guess, it's because i have them at my sight" he said

" Rubbish" " hey you my fiance give me the power to rise the dead dragon army" shouted the demon lord

" I... refuse" she breaks off the ring and gives a tongue," I am engaged to only one, my dear Raiden" said Violet

" You witch" He raises the sword and charges at her but is stopped by Raiden

" Don't you dare touch my Wife you filthy lizard" he shouts

" Looks like a tsundere husband now" joked Isadora

He easily fights him and within a second before Atrocittus could react, he broke the sword and cut his arms

" How? how?"

" You are just like other demon lord and the king dearest, Once a foolish king always will remain will remain a foolish king" said Raiden as he chants the words given by the goddess and charges and slices his head.

the Demon's head stubbles

"Impossible, impossible"

"Actions speak faster than words" and smashes his head

The People rejoice as they celebrate and with a new friendship both demons and humans got into a good relationship.

"Are you ok you three"

"Raiden" cried Isadora

"Oni- Chan, we missed you" hugged Fillo

" You always surprise us" said Serena kissing him in the cheek," go there's someone more worthy of us"

As he leaves he sees Violet, "Are you ok"

She nods, "I was worried sick"

He hugs her, "it's all over now, we can start our new life". As both of them reconciled they shared a kiss .

< Two years Later >

They married and were crowned king and queen of a new kingdom with demons and humans as allies, while the three maids became generals and the beast king became the kingdom's commander.

Despite the fact that they were married, the three perverted maids continued to do lewd things and have baths with him, making Violet jealous. As she chases Raiden for cheating on her, while she's finding for him a hand came out from the curtain and before she could scream, Raiden put his hand on her mouth.

Raiden drew her close to the curtain and brushed her hair, saying, "You look beautiful when you are angry."

She gives a smack and blushes

Seeing her blush, he holds her chin," I love you Shizuka"

She blushes and replies, "Baka Shota, I love you too"
