Dungeon Battle Royale ~ Since I Became a Demon King, I Will Aim for World Domination ~ - Chapter 293

Chapter 293 – vs. Demon King Motoki ②

Rina, Kotetsu, Izayoi, and Hibiki’s corps start to overrun Motoki’s forces who can’t stage a proper resistance as they’re unable to follow the sudden turn of events.

――《Dark Night Tempest》!

The raging storm of darkness swallows a group of elves. I actively participate in the attack to not miss this wonderful chance to obtain a great amount of experience points.

“Shion.” Rina calls out to me as I work hard.

“What’s up?”

“Are we going to take down Demon King Motoki at this place?”

“That’s the idea.”

“Then it’d be best to keep the usable kin alive.”

If we defeat Motoki, all his subordinates will become my subordinates. Since I can’t create elvethey’ll become valuable combat assets, but…

“No, this time we’re going to destroy all those colluding with Motoki.”

“――!? Y-You sure…?” Rina yelps in surprise.

I calmly nod.

Hmm. The smart bloodkin, beginning with Rina, might try to capture them alive, going by the current flow of events, I guess.

“A message to all forces! Eradicate all forces siding with Motoki! Show them our rage…! Our overwhelming power!”

I deliberately use the megaphone, declaring my intent to all those around me.

Having them annihilate all of Motoki’s subordinates isn’t grounded on emotions, however. It’s a necessary, preparatory step for the future.

“Fuck! Retreat! Retreeeeat! Withdraw to our Domain!”

Having heard my announcement, Motoki opts to immediately retreat. But, at this point, you can only call this decision too late.

With the encirclement complete, we control the direction of Motoki’s subordinates’ retreat while eradicating them in the process. Motoki takes a detour to avoid our encirclement while heading for his Domain. Meanwhile my subordinates and I chase Motoki’s fleeing forces, slaughtering them one by one.

Motoki’s forces went through a fierce battle with the humans of Toyama over the last three days, and just when they were convinced of their victory, they received a declaration of war from me.

Motoki’s forces should be at their limit in regards to stamina and spirit. Thus, our pursuit battle is showing results going well beyond the difference in strength that existed between our armies to begin with.

“Shit! Shit! Shit! Over there…if we get out over there…you guys, hold back Shion’s forces! Everyone else, squeeze out your last reserves――”

Motoki sends a part of his subordinates our way, and charges a spot, where our encirclement has thinned out, with a do-or-die spirit.

――Izayoi, loosen up the enclosure.

Upon my order, the corps led by Izayoi ― the point of Motoki’s attack ― opens up a path for Motoki.

“Gufufufu! You got cold feet after facing my drive, huh!? A little bit more…just a tiny bit more… Everyone! Use your last strength――” Motoki laughs loudly after having broke through the encirclement, but what faced him beyond――

“Ha ha ha! Ugly pig king! We have been awaiting you!”

The sole corps that didn’t join our attack was Saburou’s Team J. If you asked who might be the strongest subordinate in the Aster Empire…Takaharu, Kotetsu, Rina, or Izayoi’s names would come up. But, if you asked about Aster Empire’s strongest unit…the answer would unfortunately be Saburou’s corps that consists of former Demon Kings.

“Now, Team J! We are in the presence of Shion-sama! So we must show him the full extent of our powers!”

The members of Team J start moving, matching Saburou’s declaration.

“Calamity Zero ―― Fallen Hero Kazuki! Here I come!”

Kazuki, who has fallen in various meanings, cuts into Motoki’s forces.

Despite being like ‘that’…he’s still…strong, I got to admit…

Kazuki’s strength has grown to a level almost rivaling Rina’s. At some point, I had also sounded him out about becoming a corps leader, but for some reason he adores Saburou, and thus I’ve let him remain Saburou’s subordinate.

Following Kazuki, a former Ogre Demon King, a former Vampire Demon King, a former Beast Demon King…and all the other former Demon Kings, I struggled to turn into my subordinates, start attacking Motoki’s forces.

“Rina, Kotetsu, Izayoi, Hibiki, tighten the encirclement! We’re going to take down Motoki here!”

We began our final attack on Motoki by crushing him from all directions.
