Chapter 495 The Sixty Six Demon Generals of the Corpse Kingdom

Come to think of it, there was information about an undead called the Long Sword in the document I borrowed from Elderado. I wonder if it was about this black bone?

Stop. They are my guests.

But!

Vakala, sitting on his throne, stopped the Long Sword. Judging from the fact that hes not playing around like usual, he seems to be in Demon King mode today. Ah, well, he is always like that in front of his subordinates. Being someone who stands at the top sure isnt easy. Well, he will vent it at the meeting, though.

With all due respect, please allow me to say it! It is a heavy burden for these people to carry the flag of Carmine on their backs! In the first place, they are not undead! They are humans!

Excuse me~, Im not even human, you know~? Im a succubus~

Gobuu.

Its a heavy burden for them!

In response to Lilyvia and Gobuos protests, the Long Sword forcefully pointed out again that Haru and the others are not strong enough. Hmm, its going to be long if Lily gets involved, so lets give him a little help here.

The ones who actually will fight as Carmines representatives are the three girls here. As for their race, what hes saying isnt wrong.

What!? Why those girls!? You and that blonde beauty are the strongest among you, right!? Why are those weak girls representing our Carmine!?

Huh? I was planning to give him a little help, but hes blaming me now.

Fufu.

And Nell seems to be pleased being called a blonde beauty. Well, shes well known for her ability and reputation as the knight leader in Jiba continent, so shes rarely being praised without it. I guess shes happy to hear that from time to time. Maybe I should praise her like that sometimes.

Still, I guess that damn Vakala didnt tell his subordinates about this trial. If he only told his subordinates that he would let us fight as Carmines representative, this reaction makes sense. Otherwise, they wouldnt have been so hostile to us.

Well, Im sorry. His name is kuni. If Im not mistaken, he is called the Long Sword in Elderado. Hes the lowest rank of the Sixty Six Demon Generals of the Corpse Country. Until now, the fight against Elderado has been handled by the lower ranks of the Sixty Six Demon Generals and by the newly appointed Sixty Six Demon Generals. Since kuni is the lowest rank, he was most frequently engaged in that duty. In short, he is worried that his job might be taken away from him. Please forgive him.

V-Vakala-sama! Thats not what I mean!

Sigh, I see. Thats why he was like that. Also, theres one more thing I that I want to say.

What the hell is with that Sixty Six Demon General of the Corpse Country? That number far surpassed Elderados Great Eight Generals. Dont tell me, is everyone here included?

Umu, thats right. Elderado has a lot of unit names, right? Following Elderados example, I created a new position with a nickname in my country, thinking that it would help raise the ambition of my subordinates. However, making several nicknames is bothersome. Therefore, I narrowed it down to one name in order of individual combat power. Based on the size of our country, I was thinking of making it 666 Demon Generals at first, but would be troublesome to manage, so I decided not to do that.

No, Sixty Six Demon Generals is still a large number. Even the seven Irygal Sisters were troublesome enough

Youre being rude! Dont lump us together with those weirdos!

It seems that he doesnt aware that hes also weird enough.

Thats right, my sisters are weirdos. I dont usually act together with them, so Im excluded from that category, of course!

Look, even Goshujin-samas gaze says soo! As his exclusive maid, I understand!

Hey, you over there. Dont fabricate my thoughts.

Hmm, this is a problem. It seems my subordinates are doubting about your abilities.

Look whos talking. You planned this, didnt you? Well, whatever. Anyway, I wasnt going to just let the girls play around until the day after tomorrow. Lets see Vakala, it seems that hes not here right now, but is that headless guy also a member of the Sixty Six Demon Generals of the Corpse Country?

Are you talking about Kira? Of course. Hes a newcomer, but hes been promoted with unstoppable momentum. Lets see. Alhazard, what rank is Kira now? We had a swap battle the other day, didnt we?

Vakala asked the petite white-robed person who was the closest to the throne. The face is covered with a hood, just like when Im Black, so I cant see whats inside. But well, theres no doubt that this guy is Vakalas confidant.

Yes. We had a swap battle yesterday, and he splendidly won against Kureha. His current ranking is 30th. As Vakala-sama said, he is doing very well for a newcomer.

A swap battle?

Its a deadly match among the Sixty Six Demon Generals. Its a battle for those who dissatisfied with their ranks to challenge the one whos one rank higher than them. There are some detailed rules, but lets omit it now. The point is, its a battle to kill each other one-on-one, and the victor is promoted to a higher rank.

Killing each other. Thats why its a deadly match, huh? As expected of undead, youre doing something dangerous carefreely.

I will take it as a compliment. So, what about it?

I have a proposal. Lets use Kiras ranking and that swap battle. How about having our disciples fight in that swap battle against those who are lower in rank than Kira and are dissatisfied with this proxy war? If our disciples win, they will receive the rank of the one they fought only during this period. That way, they can prove their abilities and show that they are worthy to be the representatives of Carmine, right?

Y-You! Watch your mouth!

kuni, shut up for a moment. But, are you sure? My subordinates dont know how to hold back, you know?

Look whos talking. This is the development you wanted, right? Well, its a win-win development, so I will take it.

Dont worry, its inconvenient for us instead if they go easy on the girls. Right?

Yes, if were going to do it, we should give it our all! Otherwise, theres no point in defeating you!

This is just right for a warming up, I think? I dont know who the heck that Kira is, though.

B-Both of you, please dont say something that might provoke them too much. W-Well, if thats the only way, I will do it.

You heard them? What do you think, Vakala? Is there any other way to get both sides to agree in a short period of time?

Fumu, isnt it interesting for an impromptu event? Very well, I will allow it. Whoever wishes to fight may come forward here and now.

As Vakala declared so, many raised their voices from both sides of the throne. Alright, weve got suitable training partners.
