" Lord Kassius," the 5 generals screamed as they stopped fighting Miyuki and rushed towards where Kassius was hung. Kassius was the favorite son of the head of the Neboris family head. If he was killed, then they would also be punished by their superiors.
Seeing the generals leaving, Miyuki breathed a sigh of relief. But the next moment she coughed a mouthful of blood as she knelt on the ground. To contend with those generals, she had to use a forbidden technique that greatly damaged her potential if left untreated.
"Hey, Miyuki, are you okay?" A voice sounded from her back as Miyuki felt someone holding her so she wouldn't fall down.
Looking behind, she saw a familiar face that she hadn't seen for a long time. "Kuroka?" Miyuki asked in surprise.
Kuroka was her childhood friend and cousin. Years ago they were exiled from the village due to her mother breaking some rules and running away with her husband. At that time both Miyuki and Kuroka were very young. But Miyuki could never forget the face of her best friend.
"Why are you here, Kuroka? You should escape before those devils notice you too, " Miyuki said as she tried to stand up.
" Don't worry, Miyuki, everything is fine now; the devils are already dead," Kuroka said with a smile as she tried to hide her sadness and guilt.
Although it has been a very long time since she last saw the Nekomata village, she still remembered that there were at least 300 Nekomatas in the village. But now all she could see were only less than 150 members.
This meant that at least half of the village died due to her actions. Which also suggests that the other half also lost their family members due to her.
"Girl, now is not the time to be consumed by your guilt. We need to evacuate everyone from here; who knows when the enemy reinforcements may arrive? And Roxanne can't protect all of us while still dealing with generals. " Magari, she said as she came from the shadows. Her claws were stained with blood.
She just came back from the battlefield after venting her anger. After all, these people were her kin. Oh, she also secured a path for their escape.
"Yes, Aunt Magari, " Kuroka said as her mind returned to reality. Aunt Magari was right now is not the time to think about the past.
" You are Lady Magari?" Miyuki, who heard their conversation, asked in surprise and delight.
" Yes, I take it you are Sakuma's child, right? Good job out there buying us enough time to come here. You have done an excellent job as a chieftain. Your father would be proud of your actions. " Magari, said with a kind smile.
"Thank you for the praise, Lady Magari." Miyuki bowed as she felt tears coming down her face. Magari's words meant a lot to her.
"Well then, everyone follow me. With me here, you all don't need to worry about your safety at all." Magari shouted as she escorted everyone through the path that was littered with devil blood and corpses.
….
While Magari was evacuating the Nekomatas to safety, Roxanne was dealing with all 5 generals and 30 captains at the same time. One might think she would be overwhelmed with that amount of enemies. Well, according to common sense, it should be.
But unfortunately, Roxanne is a person who defies common sense. As someone who reached Satan class, this is nothing. If she wanted to, she could end this battle immediately by releasing her restrictions.
But her goal was not to defeat the enemy but to buy enough time for the others to evacuate safely. And besides, the audience she invited had not arrived yet.
'Speak of the devil and he shall appear,' Roxanne thought as she felt an enormous demonic energy source coming towards their location.
In the next moment, the place Roxanne was bombarded with a powerful magical blast. Some of the men who were slow to react got seriously injured or even died in that blast.
"My, my, you sure are quite ruthless to your men, Lord Nebiros, " Roxanne said with a teasing voice as she was completely unaffected by the magic attack. She looked playfully at the man who was in the sky.
In the sky, there was a man who wore a white lab coat while also having some ancient armor on him. He had a look of what one would call a mad scientist in every horror movie.
" Who are you?" Zaorama Nebiros, the true head of the Nebiros family, asked coldly. There was a deep vigilance in his eyes that he tried to hide.
' Who is this girl? How strong is she to take my attack and still come out unscathed?' he thought with a frown as he quickly hid it.
Looking at the man in the sky, Roxanne smirked inwardly. This man was the one who released one of the Malebranche in the previous devil civil war. Ever since that day, this man had been hiding all day while letting his son be his proxy.
To get this man to come out of his hideout, Roxanne had to work very hard. Not only did she crucify the council members in the middle of the capital. She also placed a device that would broadcast all the evil deeds they did throughout all their lives. In addition, she also left a message for the Old Satan faction.
And that is, ' The Nebiros would face their punishment for their betrayal of their king by the blood of their descendants.'
Most wouldn't understand this message, but this guy definitely would. After all, he was the one who went against her father's order and released one of the Malebranche. And just so you know, when one of the six houses of Lucifer betrays their king, there is only death that awaits them.
This had happened in the past. Four houses that belonged to the houses of Lucifer tried to act smart, but they ultimately faced annihilation due to their actions. Becoming part of the houses of Lucifer comes with a cost. And that is total obedience.
They could enjoy all the perks that even the other three Satan houses couldn't have, but one wrong move and they would face annihilation. Like they say, high risk, high reward.
At that time, Zaorama clearly knew this when he went against orders. But at that time there was only Rizevim, who didn't even inherit the Satan position, so he didn't care at that time. But after seeing Roxanne's message, his whole body shook in terror.
And since he valued his life and his descendant's life very much, he went out of his hiding to either save his son or kill the Lucifer clan member to get out of this mess.
"Girl, who are you? Why did you attack my men?" Zaorama asked in a cold tone as he tried to look for any opening. He is also buying time for the Devil Council to send some men as backup. No matter what, no outsider could interfere with the Devil Society's business.
Roxanne ignored his question. "My, my, quite the temper you have. Are you that impatient? No, are you angry over your useless son's death? No Hmmm, ah, I see you are terrified, right? Terrified that your punishment will come," Roxanne said with a dangerous smile.
Hearing her words, Zaorama had an ugly expression. He didn't like the situation at all. "Men, I order you to attack with all your power regardless of injury," Zaorama commanded with a cold voice as he decided to capture this girl. From what he could sense, she is just an Ultimate class, so there is no way she could threaten him.
If this girl were stronger, Zaorama would definitely not dare to appear here even if his whole family were on the verge of annihilation. He values his own life more than anything.
Hearing Zaorama's orders, all the soldiers, regardless of their injuries, rushed forward towards Roxanne. These people knew that if they didn't do their best, they would definitely end up as Zaorama's experiment subjects.
Spears, swords, and magic attacks came at Roxanne, who still had her smile. She stretched her hand and muttered, " I invoke … "
