NOVEL NEXT Chapter 369: War Notice
"What...is this?" The System opens up on its own for me and starts blinking as if a transmission is being forced.
"Any problem, Aokitsu?" Freya asks.
"Ah, it's that the system..."
"Oh yes, the Demon King will make an announcement, didn't you know?" Freya speaks while I look at the system.
"So, that's it..." I sit in the chair looking at the system and waiting, Freya also looks at her system, I see the soldiers also stop what they were doing, it seems everyone has received it.
[System Announcement, the Demon King has just started a global announcement! Transmission begins in 10 seconds.]
"Looks like it's about to start soon, Freya," I say, and Freya nods.
"Yes, so pay close attention, let's see what she will say to the world," Freya speaks as the counter reaches 0, soon showing an image of Pandora, but a rather unexpected image.
She is dressed in an elegant black dress while wearing a strange and somewhat bizarre black mask, she also has six arms and stares directly at the transmission as if staring into our souls.
...
...
...
"Demon King..."
"Any problem, Pope Lucios?" I ask while Lucios stares intently at the system.
"Is Rosaline also seeing this notification?" Lucios asks me.
"Yes, I'm seeing it..." I say, seeing a 5-second counter.
"Stay alert, let's see what the Demon King will say," he says as I stare intently at the system, as soon as the counter reaches 0, an image appears and I see a "girl" sitting on a throne, but wearing an outfit that seems rather disturbing and her six arms are strange to observe.
[Hello everyone, as you must have seen in the notification if you can read, I am the Demon King, of course you can also call me the future ruler of this entire planet] She speaks with arrogance and coldness.
[I'm here to give a little warning, I'm tired of waiting, it's not my style, you know? And that's why I've decided, since the humans are taking so long to come, then I will soon go to them]
[You have 1 month to prepare and come to my kingdom, otherwise I will start moving my troops to your kingdom, and to make it clear, I do not accept surrender, and I will have no mercy]
[At the moment I invade a kingdom, I will decimate any life I encounter, and the lucky ones who survive will become slaves, food, or lab rats] She leans forward.
[You know, I'm going to love bathing in the blood of millions of humans, it must be ecstatic, so I suggest you act quickly, after all, 1 month goes by very fast, and my territory is quite distant]
[Ah yes, I'd also love to make it clear that after the humans, the other races will be next, I wonder if I should exterminate the elves or the dragons first?]
[Well, that doesn't matter now, does it? I guess I'm being generous enough to make it clear that the war has begun, I hope you don't take my warning lightly, my army is already ready and in a month everything will be ready for us to invade first]
[And I bet being invaded first is terrible for you, especially for your beloved heroes who will lose some advantages fighting on human territory]
[Of course, I don't expect my warning to be immediately taken seriously, after all, why would they listen to a genocidal monster? So I'll give you a good reason to act] She stands up.
With her six arms, she begins to form a spell, creating a bow. It is large, and she holds it with three of her arms, while with two arms she pulls the bow's string, and with the remaining arm she holds an arrow, all made of magic.
[I hope you like the gift "Arrow of the Horizon's End"] She speaks and fires the magic with a slight rumble.
[This is an invasion spell, I believe the dear Human Pope should defend himself now, with that I end this transmission, I hope you come soon to my domains]
[I'll be eagerly awaiting our confrontation, I can't wait HAHAHAHAHA] The transmission ends with her laughter.
"ROSALINE, BARRIER NOW!" Lucios shouts at me urgently.
"H-Holy Magic [Instant Holy Veil]" I use a barrier spell a little surprised by everything, and almost instantly something hits the barrier violently, cracking it and passing through.
"P-Pope Lucios?" I speak, dispersing the dust with my hand and soon seeing Lucios, who barely evaded, I see an arrow in his chair aimed exactly where his head was.
"...Rosaline, increase the power of the church's barrier now," he speaks with a paranoid and hateful look.
'My barriers...were pierced' I know that the invasion element literally has the effect of "invading" things, but to pierce the barriers of the church and a barrier made by me as extra defense is insane.
"Stop just standing there!!! HURRY UP, ROSALINE" Lucios yells at me.
"O-Okay" I say, quickly leaving the room to do what he asked.
...
...
...
"Hmm, that seems good" I wasn't sure what to do for the speech, so I made a mild threat with a spell, so I'll force them to move soon, they've had enough time already.
And with Lucios being threatened, it's obvious they'll be forced to come, since he's the highest authority in the church, and if even he isn't safe, it means anyone can be killed at any moment, since without my warning Lucios would have died.
'I doubt he died' The warning was precisely to avoid that and instill fear, but if he did die, it's his own fault for being weak, and maybe that will accelerate the plans even further.
Also, it's not like this attack was guided, I just aimed at the chair where Lucios always sits, if he's not there, then I basically made a fool of myself.
"Considering the plan and the heroes' abilities, they'll reach my territory in two weeks..." I have two weeks to mobilize 30% of the troops to the front of the territory and 40% of the troops to the back of the territory, which is where the majority of the enemies will be.
The rest of the troops will remain in the kingdom as a reserve, or in case of an attack by the dragons or elves, although I doubt they will show up, because they are not ready for war like the humans who already have everything prepared.
I will use this outfit, mask, and keep the six arms in the war, they are convenient and I want to maintain this image, so I will use this outfit in the war until the outfit is too damaged.
Of course, I'll take off this outfit for now and keep it stored to use when I go to the battlefield, I don't need armor since it would only hinder my movements.
"H-Hey!!! What the hell!" Suddenly someone grabs me from behind, pulling my hands back, I look back and see Grimm.
"Don't worry, Pandora, I'm just wanting to try something," Grimm says, hugging me from behind, using the extra hands I free myself from her, moving away a bit.
"What do you want," I say, but she jumps on me, knocking me down while holding my hands up, specifically grabbing the arms at the upper part.
"This...are you drooling on me? LET ME GO, YOU MANIAC" I try to push her, but obviously, she is much stronger than me.
"Ah, are you saying you don't want to? Imagine the possibilities! How many clones can you handle now? I bet at least 9 of me," she says blushing.
"You weird bitch! Fucking fetishist!" She's lucky I'm still weaker than her, or such a situation would never happen.
"You're so cute when you're angry like this, but cursing me won't push me away, I didn't do anything on your birthday because I didn't want to ruin the party, but the next day you do this! If you wanted to provoke me, you didn't have to go so far," she says with a maniacal smile on her face.
"If you touch me, I'll kill you, you weirdo!" I try to push her, but I can't even use magic, she's done something to block my power.
"No need to lose your temper, we're married, but if you want, we can exchange something, how about I teach you blood magic? It's useful, you know? Much more useful than you imagine, it has secrets that others don't know," she tries to bribe me with magic.
"Why the hell do the extra arms make me attractive?" I ask, knowing she's doing this because of the extra arms, she starts rubbing her knee against my intimate parts.
"It's because of the possibilities!! Extra arms mean you can give me more pleasure, you can handle more clones, and the charm, who wouldn't like a cute girl like you?" She speaks, making me avert my gaze.
"Complimenting me won't be enough," I won't fall for these compliments, besides, the extra arms are not for sex, but for fighting using more weapons and spells.
"Really? Even if it's the truth?" She speaks while approaching her face, licking my mask in a sensual way.
"Why are you acting like a bitch in heat?" I speak, finding her reaction too perverted, especially with her literally drooling over my appearance, she ponders for a moment before answering.
"I'm just excited, I don't have my dear Demon King puppets that you devoured anymore, and I can't use toys because I'm always taking care of my daughter"
"You know how rare it is to be without having to take care of Azazel? Now she's with Tsukuyomi while playing with Eclipsya, so I finally have free time"
"I've been without sex for a long time, and now I want you all to myself, besides, if you die in the war, we'll never be together again, so I have to take advantage while you're alive," she speaks, and I let out a sigh.
"Do you really think I can die?" I ask, knowing she sees the future.
"The result of the fight will be 60/40 in favor of the heroes," she speaks, leaving a larger margin than I thought, I didn't think the heroes would have a 60% chance of defeating me, it seems that even without underestimating them, I still haven't taken the risk they pose so seriously.
"Thank you for informing...you're lucky you're my wife, considering you're going to teach me more useful magic, I...will give you some time, but if you tear my dress, we're done immediately!" I say seriously.
"Okay, okay, I'll take off your dress very carefully, I know you want to wear it in the war, so I'll peel off your clothes with veeeery gentle care," she speaks without being able to contain her smile.
"1 day, that's all I'll give you," I say as she nods, knowing that I gave in more because I can really die and because after that I won't have time for sex, so I'll be without doing anything lewd for a while.
