Excuse the intrusion into your important meeting. Afterwards, you may treat me as the law dictates. Erica made a slight bow to the commanders at the round table, with an unbreakable smile.
"But the King said he had already given you three days."
The noisy room instantly became as silent as the night, as if even the beating of hearts could be heard.
The blond little man, who had previously felt disgusted by Erica's lack of respect, looked as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a whole fly.
In his eyes, Erica was simply a talented young woman, far from drawing the attention of the King.
All those present were leaders of a Magical Society, an authority in magic or physical arts, and among the highest-ranking individuals in Italy.
But for a God Slayer, they were nothing.
The strongest magician or the strongest knight would be annihilated instantly by a God Slayer, without leaving room for resistance.
"Miss Erica of the Black Copper Cross, spreading false orders from the new King is not a good habit."
"Of course, you may think I'm lying, but I, Erica Brandelli, have just been personally appointed as the new First Knight of the King."
Erica revealed her new identity without concern.
Apart from Paolo Blandtelli, the faces of the other Magical Society commanders were filled with frowns and surprise.
"As it is an order from the King, I must also take my leave."
Paolo shook his head and was the first to leave the meeting room.
And not long after the leader of the Black Copper Cross left, all the others could only get up reluctantly and head to the residence of the Demon King.
There were only seven God Slayers in the entire world, including him.
And the number of countries and organizations that wanted to serve a God Slayer and receive protection was unimaginable; after all, with so many wolves and so little meat, whoever could cling to the thigh of a God Slayer faster would get greater benefits.
The news of the seventh God Slayer had not yet spread widely; for the time being, it was only circulating in southern and western Europe.
Originally, many passionate young people from the Black Copper Cross were envious and jealous that Kaido could live in one of Erica's residences, and would resent him in private as a lucky guy.
However, upon learning that Kaido had become a God Slayer, the entire organization became ecstatic and adoring, hoping that the Black Copper Cross could become the organization of first priority in swearing loyalty.
The title of leader of Salvatore Doni is, ultimately, just a title; that great lord is only interested in his own battles. Although he returns, he will not unleash his wrath on you.
The commander of the "Old Lady" said respectfully.
The Sword King prefers battle. Once he returns to the country, you and I believe he will undoubtedly challenge the new King. The Wolf doubted.
"So... let's ask the new King to show the magnificent power of his authority, so that we can..."
"You may be mistaken." Kaido shook his head helplessly.
All the Magical Society commanders present looked up, gazing at the center of the room in confusion.
Slightly indifferent words reached everyone's ears.
"This is an order, not a request."
The loyalty of the Magical Society to a God Slayer was solely for the purpose of seeking protection.
For this, they could offer support in terms of labor or material resources.
But anyone who has read the God Slayer original knows.
After Kusanagi Godou became a God Slayer and possessed the power to rule the world, he was completely deceived by Erica and the Italian Magical Society.
Kusanagi Godou's desire to return to his daily life was understandable, but after returning to his country, he was forced by a letter to return to Italy to demonstrate his power to the Italian Magical Society.
Subsequently, the Gorgon stone was unilaterally handed over to Kusanagi Godou for his custody. Except for Liliana of the Black Copper Cross, everyone treated him with the attitude of summoning and dismissing him at will.
The Official Compilation Committee of District Eleven even tried every means possible to control Kusanagi Godou.
As a God Slayer, Kusanagi Godou had lived his life completely in vain.
Not to mention that he became a brutal Demon King like Voban, but doing as he pleased was also one of Kaido's life creeds.
Although before this, he could only keep it hidden in his heart.
The spacious hall could accommodate dozens of magicians, so it seemed a bit crowded.
After Kaido made an extremely forceful statement, the hall instantly fell into a terrifying silence.
An oppressive and terrifying aura enveloped everyone's hearts without them realizing it.
It was not a psychological feeling, but a real and tangible sensation.
Breathing rapidly, the magicians felt as if they were trapped in a sealed room, gradually becoming unable to breathe.
The clear vision gradually showed innumerable snowflakes, human consciousness became slow, and thoughts were cut off.
When everyone regained their vision, they suddenly realized they were no longer in the bright hall where Kaido was.
Behind them was a chaotic twilight, and in front of them was only an incredibly high bronze wall.
"Where is this?"
The Wolf asked unconsciously.
The black lines floating in the air made her feel chills.
"It's clear that your words just enraged the new King!"
One of the Magical Society commanders asked with a pale face.
"Daring to demand that the King demonstrate the power of a God Slayer is a tremendous insult to the King's status!"
His expression was somewhat agitated.
No one could remain calm in an environment where death could strike at any moment.
"Maybe it's not as bad as we imagined..."
The person who said this didn't even believe it.
"It's an undeniable fact that those words enraged the new King, but the King didn't kill us immediately, which shows that we still have hope to live."
Deanna, the commander of the Black Copper Cross, suppressed the feeling of cold and said with trembling lips.
These words ignited a spark of hope in the hearts of many people.
Although they were the highest-ranking magicians in Italy, offending a God Slayer was already a capital offense.
If Kaido had been replaced by Marquise Voban or Luo Hao, they would have bid farewell to the world the moment they entered the room.
Even if it was extended later, outsiders would only mock their stupidity and not question the God Slayer who killed them.
Rumbling...
A deep roar came from afar.
A crack appeared in the enormous bronze wall.
Behind them stretched the abyssal gloom, and the bronze wall in front of them only had one entrance. No matter how much fear they felt, the magicians could only prepare themselves and move forward.
These figures, once imposing and powerful local leaders, now cowered like moles.
Finally, they crossed three bronze walls and saw hell.
A world without day or night.
Innumerable horrific remains were buried in the crimson earth, with humanoid torsos or monstrous limbs, giants with a hundred arms dressed in armor, giants with a hundred eyes blinking innumerable eyes, titans larger than mountains, rivers of flames flowing in the distance...
The abyssal hell of the Underworld.
Upon witnessing a world that only existed in myths, the magicians fell into uncontrollable panic.
Human consciousness could not withstand the erosion of the abyss.
Just when someone was about to collapse, they returned.
The soft sunlight shone over them, making them feel a warmth they had lost for a long time.
However, the magicians' clothes were drenched with cold sweat as if they had been washed, and some weaker individuals were even worse, collapsing directly onto the ground, gasping for breath.
Isn't the scenery over there wonderful? They are the first guests to come visit us.
In contrast to the disheveled commanders, Kaido was sitting smiling on the sofa.
As he didn't want to be a puppet of any organization, he could only make these people suffer a little and experience the consequences of his anger.
Killing those people would not do him any good; leaving them with an unforgettable trauma for the rest of their lives would be enough.
"So, may I ask what your current choice is?"
Erica revealed a mischievous smile, and her black rose hair ornament became even more vibrant.
"I... we have deeply experienced the great power of the King, so... the 'Old Lady' hereby swears loyalty, and the gates of Turin will always be open for our revered lord."
"..."
The commanders of the various Magical Societies swore loyalty one after another, greatly satisfying Kaido's small vanity.
"That's why humans are so interesting..."
Kaido inexplicably thought of this line.
The Italian Magical Society formally promised loyalty to Kaido in the hall.
Although the beginning and process may not have been beautiful, for both Kaido and them, it was an acceptable outcome.
