The Demon King’s Fiery Inferno: Lampas City Burns for Him
"Ahh..."
Lin was sobbing. Having collapsed after just three hours of sex since yesterday afternoon's first time, when she regained consciousness, she became Jae-hyun's plaything once more and had to endure sex until dawn.
Thanks to that, she had been pushed to the brink of exhaustion countless times, and with each collapse, she lacked the strength to recover.
But just because she lacked strength didn't mean she could rest. If she lacked strength, she could just recover, and Jae-hyun would restore her stamina and then use a cleaning spell to bathe her, instantly making her clean.
In that state, she continued to be used as a sex toy until morning, repeating sex.
When Jae-hyun used his Demon King authority to restore her stamina, all the fatigue in her body vanished, and she didn't even feel the need to sleep. But Lin, on the other hand, now had no time to rest even more than during sex.
During sex, Jae-hyun alternated between Selina and Lucien, so she at least had a moment to rest.
But Selina and Lucien were educating Lin on serving Jae-hyun as commanded.
After finishing breakfast in the inn at 8 AM, she received education on serving Jae-hyun all day.
Having entrusted Lin's education to Selina and Lucien, Jae-hyun gazed out the window at the city.
Only a part of the city was visible, but from the morning, it felt like a truly vibrant city. People starting business from the morning, children running happily, people walking the streets...
It was truly a bright city. Although it hadn't been built long, it was quite well-made.
That's why it was disgusting. That's why he wanted to crush it. That's why he hated and cursed it.
Jae-hyun thought that way and waited for the time when people would be most active.
This city today would burn for him, the Demon King, alone.
* * *
11:30 AM.
With lunch time approaching, people's movements became even more lively. After all, they had to eat lunch.
At this time when people were bustling around, it was the best time for food stalls to do good business.
Lampas City, though newly built, had quite a few restaurants, and many people were visiting various gourmet spots to taste food.
But today was different.
Giant black holes appeared in various places in the sky.
"Eh?"
"What is that?"
"What the hell is that?"
The citizens of the city suddenly felt curiosity towards the black holes that had appeared.
Out of curiosity, they looked at the black holes in the sky but didn't run away.
That was their mistake.
"Kuaaaar!"
From the holes, thick demonic energy began to gush out along with roaring sounds, and the faces of the paladins and priests paled.
"D-demon... demonic energy?!"
"Demonic energy!"
"D-damn it! What the hell is happening!"
Not only paladins and priests, but also those with some skill like mages and warriors in the city felt the demonic energy and all turned pale.
Ten years ago, when the Dark Army had overrun the continent, humans had rushed to train warriors and mages, lifting the restrictions on teachings.
Thus, many secret arts leaked out, producing a significant number of warriors and mages.
Now, ten years later, the war has ended, and no longer are new warriors and mages being mass-produced, but the existing trained ones have been leaving for mercenary work, gradually spreading knowledge of martial arts and magic.
Of course, it was only basic parts, but considering that there are still many who haven't learned even the basics, perhaps in the distant future, it would become the foundation of development.
That's why there were many warriors and mages in this city who had built their foundations that way, and that was...
"D-demon... demonic energy!"
"Demonic energy!"
"Run!"
Causing chaos.
"D-demon... demonic energy?!"
"What the hell is happening!"
"Waaah! Run!"
Only then did people panic. Realizing that the things gushing out from the holes were demonic energy meant that terrifying undead or monsters would be summoned.
Unlike ordinary people who couldn't feel demonic energy well or didn't recognize it even if they did, the warriors and mages who had experienced the Dark Army ten years ago spread the word, causing the chaos in the city to swell beyond control.
Immediately, the holes were in various places in the sky, and nowhere in the city was safe.
The priests and paladins were hurriedly moving, and soldiers blessed by the priests were also moving hurriedly, but since it was happening in multiple places, they couldn't focus.
Moreover, calming the panicked citizens from all over wasn't a simple task.
"Kuaaaar!"
And finally, monsters began pouring out from the holes.
Kuung!
The first one to fall was a strange-looking monster with a human-like body and huge wings on its back, like the head of a cow.
It resembled the monster Minotaur but was even larger in size, and the monster with dense demonic energy and huge wings roared.
"Kuaaaar!"
The cow-headed monster began swinging its fists to bring down the surrounding people.
"Aaaah!"
Naturally, the surroundings became a hellish scene. As soon as the monster jumped out and roared, it immediately attacked the surrounding people, leaving no choice but to be in chaos.
Originally, a single monster would have been dealt with by the soldiers blessed by the priests before the paladins.
The blessing of holy power on the soldiers' weapons made the weapons possess the attribute of holy power, turning ordinary soldiers' arrows and spears into weapons imbued with holy power, giving them a stronger impact against those of the darkness.
However, the soldiers now were in a state of panic.
Because a large number of bat-shaped monsters with leathery wings had been summoned and were pouncing on people, biting them as they came.
And not only that.
"Waaah! Save me!"
Black bird-shaped monsters were pouring out and rushing at people, devouring them alive in an instant.
The bright and lively city, Lampas City, had transformed into a hellish hell of carnage.
It was impossible to know where to start.
But the disaster didn't end there.
"Shiiick!!!"
A huge snake with nine heads revealed itself.
Among the monsters, the Hydra, famous for its high danger level.
The nine heads of the Hydra with its terrifying size stretched out in all directions and began swallowing the people they saw.
"Waaah! Run!"
The peaceful city had turned into a hell, and places were being smashed everywhere. But it wasn't over yet.
More monsters burst out from the black holes. This time, the monsters were dog-like.
They were Hellhounds.
Although only a bit larger than normal dogs, the Hellhounds that spat fire from their mouths were running around the city, committing arson.
Not just a few places, but hundreds of Hellhounds bursting out simultaneously from dozens of places, scattering and spitting fire everywhere, so it wouldn't take long for the entire city to become a hell of fire.
"Aquaa! Astraea!"
"Astraea, protect your servants!"
"Die! You monsters!"
Humans weren't just standing by and resisting in various places in the city, but in this chaotic scene, they didn't know what to do.
They thought of foreign invasion, but they never imagined that monsters would pour out from the sky and destroy the entire city and turn it into a hell of fire.
"First Battalion, follow me!"
Joshua, a paladin active in Lampas City, raised his sword and shouted. His sword glowing with holy power was dealing stronger damage to the monsters due to the difference in attributes.
And the blessings and support of the priests were with him, and the First Battalion of Lampas City following him were all blessed by the priests, full of fighting spirit.
"Exterminate the monsters!"
"Don't let any monsters live!"
While the First Battalion was fighting the monsters, the Second Battalion was hurriedly evacuating the citizens.
Fuwaaah!
"Kieek!"
The Hellhound that had been spitting fire was dying with a painful sound. But even as it died, the Hellhound with its red eyes flashing with killing intent was spitting fire, wanting to kill at least one more person.
And this phenomenon wasn't just for Hellhounds; all monsters were like that.
Even the bat-shaped monsters flying in the sky or the crow-shaped monsters were attacking while dying, wanting to kill at least one more human.
Although there were as many as 10,000 monsters rampaging in various places in the city, since humans weren't just standing by, the number of monsters dying from human resistance was also gradually increasing.
"Fireball!"
"Magic Missile!"
"Aqua Ball!"
The mages in the city were also casting spells and fighting earnestly,
"Hwaap!"
"Even though I look like this, I've killed five monsters!"
The warriors in the city were also holding weapons and fighting earnestly.
It was like watching the war between the Light Army and the Dark Army in the past, and one thing was certain: this city was being shattered and burning.
"Shiiick!"
The Hydra with nine heads finally began to move. Spitting out dense demonic energy, the Hydra advanced at high speed, smashing buildings and whatever, trampling and eating humans.
"A-Astraea! Punish the evil monsters!"
The priests serving the Astraea goddess were pouring holy power at the Hydra earnestly, but
"Shaaa!"
To the Hydra, a high-level monster, they couldn't even inflict damage, and instead, they only scratched the Hydra's pride, making the Hydra furious.
"Waaah!"
There was no strong enough person in the city to withstand the Hydra's fury, and no one could stop the Hydra, and dozens of priests and paladins were being killed helplessly.
Previously, the soldiers' weapons couldn't deal even a little damage even if they hit directly.
"H-how do we defeat that monster...!"
"Waaah!"
Screams from all over the city. And the wails of parents who lost their children, the cries of children who lost their parents, people raging in anger at the death of their comrades...
And... looking at the city being burned and smashed, with the battle continuing and blood flowing, Jae-hyun laughed.
"Kukukuk, what a wonderful sight, isn't it? Selina, Lucien, Lin, Ron!"
Jae-hyun asked his subordinates beside him.
"It's wonderful."
"I want to rampage too."
"It's burning well."
"We can kill a lot."
Selina and Lucien, Lin and Ron each gave their impressions, and Jae-hyun nodded and looked at the city.
It was truly a beautiful sight.
The city that had been bright was being smashed and burning, filled with the screams of countless people!
For the Demon King, this Lampas City was burning.
"Ron, Lin, prepare. Now it's time to start deceiving the kingdom and the saint, even the continent, with disguises and tricks, no matter how small."
Jae-hyun said that while drawing out the Holy Sword, and Ron and Lin immediately stood up from their seats and put on their robes.
"We are ready, Your Majesty the Demon King."
"If Your Majesty commands, we can go out and fight right now."
On Ron and Lin's words, Jae-hyun smiled coldly and received his command, looking at the consumables rampaging and burning the city enthusiastically.
To the ruthless Demon King, even the 10,000 monsters loyal to him were just consumables for a single play. But even if the monsters knew that, they had no choice but to obey.
The life of the Dark Servants ruled by the Demon King, the Dark Lord, was like that.
