Chapter 2 - Holy Demonic Empress (2/2)
”There are many engravings that do different things, like increasing your magic, health, magic resistance, attributes , even some that allow you to use magic that you don't know” she continued.
”Though we don't have a lot of craftsmen that are very skilled in engravings , so I am afraid I do not know much about them, there are more skilled craftsmen in the other Kingdoms which is why we import our equipment from them” she said.
” And what about the other Kingdoms, and the Demons ?” I asked.
” There are 6 other Human Kingdoms, the strongest human kingdom is Neverwinter, they are ruled by their Queen, a Legend Mage, Queen Olivia Neverwinter, along with 5 Master level mages. They also have the strongest army,” she said with a somewhat distressed look.
”You don't look like you like Neverwinter that much?” I asked.
”They have been suppressing us for decades , trying to hinder our progress , looking down on us , during the wars with demons they ask the weaker kingdoms to go to the frontlines and if they refuse they start branding them as traitors to the human race and use that as an excuse to go to war and annex those nations. They act as the leaders of the human race and pretend to be fighting for a righteous cause but they are just ruled by a Selfish Queen who just cares about increasing her powers and someone who would do anything to make that happen” She said with anger.
Though she looked very serious and angry, her bouncing big tɨts in her very skimpy and revealing armor and her swaying hɨps due to her wearing high heels made it difficult for me to pay attention and take her seriously.
” I apologize, I got a bit carried away, we have a very bad history with them,” she said with an awkward smile.
” You don't have to apologize, Commander, I can understand your pain being continually suppressed for so long,” I said with an empathetic smile, ” Though I expected the humans to be more united against the threat of the demonic race, can you tell me a bit more about the Demons ?”
She sighed and continued ” The Demons are ruled by the Holy Demonic Empress, at least that's what she calls herself though there is nothing ”holy” about her. The Demons weren't always united like this, they were scattered just like the human kingdoms but just a decade ago there was a huge civil war among the demons and one female demon killed everyone in her path and declared herself the Holy Demonic Empress and united all the demons with fear and power.
The Demon attacks before her were strong but they never worked together and only attacked and co-ordinated with their tribes with their agendas, and all of them had different goals. But after the Holy Demonic Empress came into power and united the Demonic Race, their attacks have become much stronger and all the different tribes have started coordinating with each other, and their Empress is also very smart, using tactics of the human race against us , and developing strategies that suit and enhance the powers of the Demonic Race. The human race is on the losing side of the war since her appearance, that is also the reason why the King thought it necessary to summon a hero to protect the Kingdom in these dark times. ”
Protect the Kingdom? not the world? , as I thought these people are quite selfish, they may not reveal it openly and say they want me to save the world and bring peace but in their hearts they just want me to protect them against the demons and the other kingdoms, using me as a shield.
As I wanted to ask her more about the world we bumped into a onee-san looking blonde.
