Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

-Demon King's Palace.

-The main hall.

Reji sits on a throne made of chaotic black rock and skeletons.

A few steps below the throne, Eileen stands gracefully and dignified.

This is a privilege that all previous generations of succubus apostles have had.

To be the closest to the Demon King.

Further down is the council table, where the remaining eight apostles are seated on both sides. Actually, it should be said that six are seated properly.

The remaining two, Breeding Demon Ulala, because her true form is a giant octopus, doesn't require a chair, and Decay Demon Eris, who is too fat with a body full of rotting flesh, can only stand.

Being so quickly summoned for a meeting by the new Demon King Reji, none of the eight apostles show any signs of irritation on their faces. In fact, several apostles arrived and took their seats well in advance.

For example, the Wicked Demon who had previously offered a Soul Stone to apologize to Reji, consuming a significant amount of his origin power.

Lordan was genuinely unwell this time but was still the earliest to arrive.

This is the effect of Reji's earlier show of authority.

The topic for discussion at the Demon King's Council is the counterattack, returning to the continent from the chaotic rift, and conquering the world, which Eileen has already informed them about.

And this is undoubtedly the greatest goal of the demon race after a millennium of patience.

It's what all demons aspire to.

Therefore, each apostle is somewhat excited and has many suggestions for the counterattack and plans for confronting humans that they want to propose to Reji.

But before Reji speaks, none of the eight apostles dare to utter a word.

Even if they are anxious inside, they hold back.

Finally after some time.

"What's the situation with the void passage now?" Reji asks the most critical question first.

The chaotic rift exists outside the continent.

Also known as the Forgotten Land, a corner abandoned and forgotten by the world.

The void passage is the only way between the chaotic rift and the continent.

It's also the prerequisite for his departure.

In the game, the first round's him, as the savior, completely destroyed the void passage connecting the chaotic rift to the world of the continent, to permanently trap the demon race inside.

At that time, all humans believed that, given the desolate environment of the chaotic rift, it wouldn't be long before all demons died out.

But now, it seems the vitality and will to survive of the demon race are much stronger than imagined.

Shadow Demon Sherman answers Reji's question.

This demon, shrouded in the shadow of his cloak, rises from his seat and reported: "My king, after relentless searching by the Shadow Demons, we finally discovered a weak point in the chaotic rift three hundred years ago.

After further efforts by our tribe, we have now successfully established a new passage"

Shadow Demons, the eyes of the demon race, are the reconnaissance units of the demons.

In the game, Shadow Demons caused great trouble for Reji and the humans.

Thanks to their excellent reconnaissance abilities and their ability to hide like shadows, they made any of humanity's secrets and strategic plans transparent in front of the demons, as if they were nothing.

This was the despairing shadow that loomed over all human soldiers, officials, generals, and even kings at the time, a heavy burden.

Such a dire situation continued until the mid-game when, as the player and the Child of Destiny, Reji teamed up with the Holy Maiden to develop the "Radiant Shine" a regional continuous anti-reconnaissance magic that exposed the Shadow Demons hiding in the shadows, significantly turning the tide for humanity.

Feeling somewhat nostalgic.

Reji pulls his wandering thoughts back.

His gaze returns to Sherman.

The once-feared Shadow Apostle, who had made all intelligence agencies of the continent's nations lose face and tremble in fear, now reports information to him with focus and seriousness.

From beneath her cloak, Sherman extended a shadow that quickly spread across the floor of the grand hall in front of Reji, forming an image.

The image depicted a murky, gray sky and a world of fissures filled with barren, scorched earth, where a crack leading directly to the ley lines had been excavated, pulsating with void energy.

From this void passage, looking towards the other side,

Reji, as well as all the demon apostles present, could vaguely see the azure sky.

They saw lush greenery.

They saw sunlight.

They saw fertile soil.

They saw fresh and clean air.

They saw a completely different world, brimming with vibrant life and fertility.

"This new passage, originally estimated by Dian to require at least several years to transfer our entire race, based on its carrying capacity."

At this point, the Shadow Demon paused.

Then, from beneath her cloak, a new shadowy image extended.

"However, just one hour ago, we discovered several new void passages, much larger and wider than the previous ones. I believe the formation of these new passages is greatly linked to our king's summoning ritual."

No one questioned the Shadow Demon's speculation.

After all, the engulfing flames at the summoning altar and the towering column of black light that seemed still vivid in their minds.

The new demon king's arrival caused the entire chaotic rift to tremble violently, creating these new passages that connect to the outer world.

And at this moment, Reji learned that his arrival had such grandeur, even "shattering" the chaotic rift.

Back to the main topic.

"What is the strength of these new passages?" Reji immediately followed up with another critical question.

This time, the respondent was not the Shadow Demon.

The Sorcery Demon, wearing a crow mask, rose from his seat.

The division of labor among the demon race has always been clear.

Dian, like a gentleman, first elegantly placed one hand on his chest, bowed to Reji, and then began his report:

"My king, although I have only conducted a preliminary survey, there is no doubt that these new, vast passages, with just a bit of reinforcement, would be sufficient"

"Sufficient to complete the transfer of our brethren within a week."

Upon Dian's words, the apostles in the grand hall were astounded.

Astounded by the surprise.

After all, their arrival time had been reduced from the original "several years" to now just "one week."

Such incredibly good news invigorated every apostle.

Wicked Demon Lordan even stood up at this moment, extolling towards Reji on the throne:

"The Child of Destiny, the so-called savior from a thousand years ago, would never have imagined that the seal he exhausted his heart and strength to create, intending to perish together with our demon race, in front of our new king, is simply insignificant and easily shattered! How laughable!"

"I am grateful and excited for all demon brethren that, at this critical moment of our race's survival, we have welcomed such a great new king!"

"Under the leadership of our king, the demon race will surely rise again, conquer the world, and restore our race's glorious splendor!"

Lordan's voice was passionate and his expression excited, showing his admiration for Reji. To those unaware, he might seem like a firm loyalist or even a fanatical supporter of the Demon King.

Even Eileen, standing on the higher steps, couldn't help but cast a disgusted look at Lordan.

But the Wicked Demon did not care.

Lordan, even more fervently, continued to push his proposal directly to Reji: "My king, with such an opportunity, I suggest we seize the moment and launch a full-scale attack in three days!"

"And I, Lordan, am willing to lead the Wicked Demons to charge at the forefront for our king!"
