Chapter 746: The Carnage in Ardesia (side: Nina)
The Kingdom of Ardesia has been facing a period of upheaval. The royal family died one after another to accident and disease, leaving only the young Princess Chris as the sole heir.
But, that Princess Chris had been replaced by the Demon Lord. In fact, the Demon Lord was already involved since the beginning of the string of deaths in the royal family.
The leader of the Holy Country of Liarm, a country friendly to Ardesia, Saint Lilixira, quickly saw the truth of the situation and came to the royal capital Alban. As a result of her activities, the monsters that controlled the palace were ousted.
Due to the loss of the royalty, it was thought that Ardesia would soon fall into chaos, but thanks to the intervention of Liarm, a council of prominent nobles was established to take control while the selection of a new king was ongoing.
That much was well and good, but when Saint Lilixira vanished while pursuing the remnants of the Demon Lord’s forces, the council lost much of its authority, and Ardesia was once again wrapped in tension. Seeing a chance to expand their influence without the interference of the Saint, various nobles prepared to set plots in motion.
But then, as the swirling plots were about to reach their peak, a giant black monster appeared. It had the appearance of a gigantic spider with three heads. Its was an exact match for the Demon Lord Baal who had once brought the world to ruin, as described in the scriptures of the Holy God religion.
The Demon Lord Baal cut a path straight to the royal capital, scattering giant spider monsters as it went. All the functions of the kingdom were shut down within a day. The only saving grace was that the Demon Lord appeared before the conspiracies could come to a head.
The royal palace with its tough walls had become a shelter for the citizens of Alban, but even those hiding inside knew that its walls were no more than a comfort against the power of the Demon Lord. Outside, the sound of collapsing walls and human screams fill the air as the Demon Lord’s subordinates rampage.
“What in the world is happening…?”
