At the hideout of the Demon Emperor.
Beelzebub was educating the newly born 『demons』.
The new demons. 『Envy’s』 demon, Bahamut, and 『Sloth’s』 demon, Midgardsorm. These two powerful summoned beasts from 『that other world』 were summoned by the Demon Emperor and transformed into human forms.
Beelzebub dressed the two of them.
ㅤ
“Do you understand? Clothing isn’t just for covering the body but also plays a role in 『grooming』. The fact that humans, wonderful as they are, created this culture of 『clothing』. . . . . .I genuinely respect that. Ah, but I’m not saying I respect all humans, just the ones who introduced clothing.”
ㅤ
As if making an excuse, Beelzebub tells Bahamut and Midgardsorm.
Both of them dressed as Beelzebub instructed.
Bahamut wore a breastplate that fit her sleek body, along with a jacket, a miniskirt, and knee-high boots. She left her long white straight hair as it was.
Midgardsorm wore a jacket over his shirt, and his pants and boots were made of durable military-grade material. The outfit suited the tall and well-built Midgardsorm perfectly.
Beelzebub smiled with satisfaction.
ㅤ
“Next, I’ll educate you about this world and primarily about our lord.”
“. . . . . .Hey.”
“Yes?”
ㅤ
Bahamut spoke to Beelzebub.
ㅤ
“Who are you, acting all high and mighty?”
“Ah, my apologies for not introducing myself earlier. I am Beelzebub, a close aide to Lord Demon Emperor Shin・Asgard.”
“Hmm, so we, as summoned beasts, were summoned by Demon Emperor and are to serve as his limbs?”
“Exactly! Become the limbs of the lord, annihilate all humans except for the lord, and take over this beautiful world for a paradise for the lord!! Then summon all the summoned beasts from 『that other world』 to this world, and we will live forever as the lord’s summoned beasts!”
“Hmm.”
ㅤ
Bahamut simply responded and yawned broadly.
Though she was initially disoriented and unfamiliar with her human form just after being summoned, it seemed that Bahamut quickly adapted.
ㅤ
“Well, since I was summoned, I’ll help in making this beautiful world ours. Plus, I’m super strong. There aren’t many summoned beasts in that other world that can beat me.”
“You are reliable. And you are. . . . . .?”
ㅤ
Beelzebub looked at Midgardsorm, who stood silently.
ㅤ
“It’s fine. Whatever. . . . . .I don’t really care about humans. This world is beautiful, but I’ve been sleeping for so long that it doesn’t matter. If you have something to say, get it over with. I want to sleep.”
“Hmm, you truly embody 『sloth』. Well, that’s fine.”
ㅤ
Beelzebub opened his hands, and two small flies landed on them.
ㅤ
“First, I want to test your powers. There are two human settlements nearby. Please annihilate one each.”
“Ho, right away? Interesting.”
“. . . . . .Sounds like a hassle.”
ㅤ
One fly each landed on Bahamut and Midgardsorm’s shoulders.
ㅤ
“They are for surveillance. Destroy the settlements by any means. Show no mercy to the humans and ensure their 『complete annihilation』. If you show pity or deliberately let them escape. . . . . .there will be consequences.”
“Hmm.”
“. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Bahamut gave a sly smile, while Midgardsorm yawned.
Even in the world of summoned beasts, these two hold immense power. They have become new demons.
Beelzebub checked with expectation in his eyes.
ㅤ
“Let me confirm one last thing. Bahamut, what do you think of humans?”
“All except the Demon Emperor are trash, right? I kinda like the idea of turning this world into a world of summoned beasts. If humans get in the way, then we just have to get rid of them, right?”
“Well done. Now, Midgardsorm, what about you?”
“I don’t care. . . . . .I won’t defy the one who summoned me. I’m indifferent to humans and this world. But, I guess, if I can take a nice nap, this world might be better.”
“. . . . . .Well, that’s fine. Now, get to work. 『Small Fly』 will guide you to the village.”
ㅤ
The 『test』 for Bahamut and Midgardsorm began.
ㅤ
◇◇◇◇◇◇
ㅤ
The village Bahamut headed to had already turned into a sea of blood.
ㅤ
“These humans are so weak. . . . . .too fragile.”
ㅤ
She tore the guards at the entrance with her hands, and carbonized the child who saw it with flames from her mouth. She effortlessly killed the stunned villagers, and they finally realized the danger and started to flee.
But Bahamut didn’t let anyone escape.
ㅤ
“Hey, won’t someone come and fight? I thought I could play a bit more.”
ㅤ
There was no need to use her 『abilities』.
With sharp claws and spewing flames, humans died.
Fragile. Weak. That was Bahamut’s impression.
Not all summoned beasts like humans. To see a world with 『colors』, summoned beasts have no choice but to connect with a human heart. Some beasts reluctantly do so. Such beasts, without exception, have immense power.
Then, a human with an axe appeared in front of Bahamut.
ㅤ
“You! What’s your purpose for doing such a thing?!!”
“It’s just a job. Do you want to fight me?”
“Don’t mess with me!”
ㅤ
The man threw his axe away and summoned a massive 『tiger』.
Although its rank was about C, the man was the strongest summoner in the village. He commanded the tiger.
ㅤ
“Devour him!”
『Roar!』
“Oh, nice, very nice.”
ㅤ
The tiger lunged at Bahamut.
Bahamut remained unfazed, took a deep breath and exhaled.
ㅤ
“Gah!”
ㅤ
In an instant, the tiger turned to ash. The summoner also turned to coal and crumbled in a blink.
Bahamut, blowing smoke from her mouth, said,
ㅤ
ㅤ
“『Dragon King Flame』. . . . . .I can breathe flames of various attributes at will. That was just a 『flame』, but it was hot, wasn’t it?”
ㅤ
The village turned into a scorched wasteland in less than five minutes.
