“Where is this?” No one could answer when asked that question.
Here, there were a man and a woman.
One was a gentle-looking man resembling a butler, while the other was a woman dressed in revealing attire.
The man’s name was Beelzebub. The woman’s name was Florentia. Both served 『Demon Emperor Shin・Asgard』 as Summoned beasts and, thanks to the power of the Demon Emperor, had taken on the forms of 『demons』 that appeared human.
Beelzebub sighed.
ㅤ
“I’m in a bind. . . . . .Oh, what a predicament.”
ㅤ
Florentia said to the troubled Beelzebub with a hint of annoyance,
ㅤ
“You’ve been noisy for a while. . . . . .Are you that upset about what happened to the newbies?”
“No, no. The fact that they died or were defeated isn’t the issue. However. . . . . .Summoned beasts, painstakingly created by our still-imperfect Demon Emperor-sama, being taken down so easily. . . . . .Oh, what has happened?”
ㅤ
Beelzebub wasn’t concerned at all about the deaths of Bahamut and Midgardsorm.
Likewise, neither was Florentia.
ㅤ
“So, what’s next? Will we continue to torment humans?”
“Hmm. Until Demon Emperor-sama is fully revived, reducing the number of humans should be fine. . . . . .I can’t leave Demon Emperor-sama’s side, and leaving it all to you alone is. . . . . .”
“Yeah, yeah. I don’t want to do it all by myself either. . . . . .Hey, why don’t we ask Demon Emperor-sama to summon a new allies for us?”
“That’s not an option!!!!!!”
ㅤ
Beelzebub shouted suddenly.
ㅤ
“Ah, I had tried not to think about it!! Ahhhhh. . . . . .Yes, that’s the only way!! With Demon Emperor-sama’s power, we can have more comrades!! Ahahaha, even though I know it’s not right, I can’t stop thinking about it!! How greedy, how greedy am I!!!!!!”
“You’re so loud. . . . . .Beelzebub, you’re way too emotionally unstable.”
ㅤ
Beelzebub knelt down, banging his head on the ground. Green blood gushed out, but he didn’t stop.
He probably wouldn’t die, but it was incredibly annoying. Florentia, looking irritated, was about to kick Beelzebub away when━━
ㅤ
“Huh. . . . . .?!”
“Ah. . . . . .Ahhh, Demon Emperor-sama, Demon Emperor-sama!!”
ㅤ
A dark mist enveloped Beelzebub, forcibly halting his movement.
Then, the mist transformed into a 『right hand』, its fingers slowly opening and closing.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .Huh?”
ㅤ
Beelzebub definitely heard it.
Florentia did as well.
ㅤ
『JUST A LITTLE LONGER. . . . . .SO, USE. . . . . .THIS』
“Ohhhhhhhhh!! Demon Emperor-sama’s voice, his voice!! Gaaaaa!!”
“You’re so loud. . . . . .Demon Emperor-sama is going to use it?”
ㅤ
Ignoring the noisy Beelzebub and kicking him aside, Florentia posed a question to the mist.
The right hand made of mist slowly rose, warping space with the mist it emitted.
The right hand reached into the space. . . . . .It was the same as when Bahamut and Midgardsorm were summoned. He was calling forth a summoned beast.
However, this time was slightly different.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .Could it be?”
ㅤ
Florentia realized.
The Summoned beast held in his right hand was not a single entity.
Large dragons, snakes, gorillas, tigers. . . . . .ferocious beasts, each as powerful as Bahamut or Midgardsorm, were being grasped by the dozens.
Florentia and Beelzebub noticed.
ㅤ
“Could it be. . . . . .oh my, no way, no way!”
“You’re kidding. . . . . .”
ㅤ
The right hand clenched all the Summoned beasts tightly.
Then, a dark mist enveloped the right hand, and the fingers squirmed as if chewing.
In the opened right hand was. . . . . .a young girl.
ㅤ
“I’m hungry.”
“Oh wow. . . . . .merging all the Summoned beasts to reborn as a single entity!”
“I’m hungry…”
“Impressive. . . . . .a girl? Not a child.”
“I’m hungry.”
ㅤ
The girl appeared to be about fifteen years old.
She had unkempt white hair that reached her ankles, curled horns, and listless eyes.
She stared intently at Florentia and repeated the same words.
ㅤ
“I’m hungry.”
“Fufu, she’s cute. . . . . .like an innocent baby.”
“I’m hungry. . . . . .”
“Ah, food━━”
ㅤ
The next moment, a fist slammed into Florentia’s face.
ㅤ
“Wha━?! Ugh.”
“I’m hungry.”
“Ah, ugh. . . . . .”
ㅤ
The girl grabbed Florentia’s shoulder and forcibly bit into her shoulder meat.
There was a tearing sound, and the girl chewed the flesh.
ㅤ
“Delicious. . . . . .I want to eat more.”
“You. . . . . .damn brat!”
“Ouch.”
ㅤ
Florentia’s fist slammed into the girl’s stomach. However, the girl’s expression did not change at all.
Whether satisfied from eating the shoulder meat or not, she simply lay down on the ground and curled up.
ㅤ
“Oh, she’s strong.”
“Ugh, this kid. . . . . .what the. . . . . .”
“Hmm. But, this strength is good. She’s useful. . . . . .She needs a name. Yes. . . . . .Let’s name her Typhon.”
“Do whatever you want. I really hate this kid!”
ㅤ
And so, the new demon, Typhon, was born.
