Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence
Episode 288: The Inaugural Ceremony of the Great Demon King
Today, two days after the Demon King's Conference, the city was busier than ever. That's because after the Demon King meeting, there was an announcement that the birth and greeting of the new Great Demon King Lucifer would be announced to all of Dacrya. For the first time in twenty years, the birth of Lucifer the Great Demon has been pushed from all over the world.
Seyya's inauguration of the Great Demon King is scheduled for this afternoon, and its appearance is to be broadcast throughout Dacrya. It had to do with Seyya's bloodline, which was informed with the birth of the Great Demon King, that people were waiting for the moment now or now despite the sudden news.
Gillanell and the other Demon Kings have already announced that the new Great Demon King is the son of Keith-Lucifer, the previous Great Demon King, and have also told him that he has fulfilled his covenant with Luna, the Spirit of the Night. In other words, the people know that the new Lucifer meets the conditions of the Great Demon King.
If you become the authentic successor to the Great Demon King, who hasn't appeared in twenty years, it is also impossible for the expectations of the people to rise.
On the other hand, the party that listed the Dedemonization Kings were thinking about interfering with the inauguration ceremony in order not to often think of the presence of Seyya.
"Okay, when the inauguration ceremony starts, we're going for the head."
"And then we'll set it up at the same time."
"No matter how much the Great Demon King, there won't be one if attacked at the same time from the other side"
"We will save this country."
"That's right. Save and show from the devil's hand of the Demon King."
There were hundreds of demon kings gathered together, but all the adventurer tags on their necks were of low rank.
The inauguration ceremony of the Great Demon King of Seyya finally opens with the intertwining of the expectations of the people and the operations of the Dedemonization King. The venue will be a balcony on the seventh floor of the Great Demon King's Hall. From there, Seyya delivers a speech to the audience gathered beneath her eyes, to the people throughout Dacrya via video.
"Dear Saiya, it's time"
"Okay."
As soon as Seyya is guided out of the room onto the balcony by Gilanel, the unbroken cheer is released towards Seyya. The number of people gathered in front of the gates of the Great Demon King's Hall for a glimpse of Seyya is about three thousand. Seyya, who appeared before its masses with six demon kings and a united spirit, was precisely Lucifer the Great Demon King.
"The Great Demon King!
"I've been waiting -!
"Good luck!
"I'm counting on you!
The audience, who saw Seyya showing up with the demon kings, turns to Seyya for a favorable cheer. I have the impression that young people in the audience in particular are cheering for Seyya. Conversely, people over middle-aged have some chilling impression compared to before Seyya appeared.
"Something's not what I imagined."
"Are you sure this is Master Keith's son?
"Your hair and eyes are completely different."
"But that's the undisputed Luna."
"And it seems that Master Gillanell is following suit."
"But it's different."
People who know about the predecessor Great Demon King Keith-Lucifer seem to have doubts about what Seyya looks like but doesn't resemble Keith. In Keith, who was indeed a blonde blue-eyed Seiya and a grey-haired red-eyed, it would be too difficult to determine that she was a parent or child because of the difference in appearance.
Still, as far as the presence of the Spirit Luna and Gilanel's attitude is concerned, it is also true that it cannot be denied to be fake. Even as they were bewildered, they rejoiced about Seyya.
When Seyya stands in front, she stops cheering as soon as possible. That's because you listen to Seyya's speech, which is about to start, and don't make any extra noise.
Seeing the attitude of such a people, Seyya is impressed, as well as feeling once again the awareness of the Great Demon King that he must protect them.
"They got together a lot today. I'm Christina-Saya, the new king of demons, Lucifer."
Despite the gathering of five thousand spectators, the voice of Seyya echoed in a quiet world as if the concept of sound had disappeared.
"Twenty years ago, my father, Keith-Lucifer, suddenly disappears and apologizes on his behalf for causing so much anxiety to the people. But I just want you to believe this. My father didn't abandon this country, he disappeared to protect it."
Everyone in the audience listens to Seyya and breathes. That was the same for all the citizens of the whole territory who were watching the content of the speech through video.
"So I declare here today. Make this country a country where you can live in peace that will never make the people of this country anxious again. So I want you to believe in Lucifer the Great Demon again."
Immediately after Seyya's forcefully unleashed words, the world is engulfed in silence. And the applause, which began to sound sparse, gradually grew louder. That is a applause for celebrating the inauguration of the Great Demon King of Seyya, as well as what we expected from the future of this country.
People are enveloped with joy at the birth of the rightful Great Demon King, who has been waiting for many years. The voice of joy begins to rise and spread among the crowd, and people finally begin to realize the birth of the Great Demon King.
But it was then.
"Don't be ridiculous!
"We don't recognize the Great Demon King!
"We don't need a demon king!
"You false king!
A group of about a hundred people who suddenly shouted in the audience of five thousand. They deployed their magic formations at the same time as they denied Seyya and exercised their magic towards Seyya at the same time. They are the demonic kings who acted on the basis of an advance meeting.
The crowd screams at the sudden events and runs away, starting to panic. If more than five thousand people panic together, it's not important. There will also be a large number of injuries, but more than that it will develop into a question of the responsibility of the Great Demon King. Not to mention from the people who are looking at the situation objectively through the video, they will question the system of the Phantom Demon King.
That was the aim of the Dedemonization Kings, as well as the purpose they set up this time.
One woman sees the sight among those who flee.
"Yikes!!
One of the crowds screamed when they thought the magic released from the demonic king's magicians would land on Seyya. Colorful magic approached Seyya. Those who know magic know how hopeless the sight is. It's hard to deal with so many magic emanating from so many directions all by yourself at the same time.
The woman is convinced that Seyya will die. Nevertheless, the sight she feared would never come.
"Is that it?"
At the next moment, Seyya's golden hair falls out of pigment and turns white, and her bright eyes turn bright red like blood. Immediately afterwards, the magic unleashed towards Seyya disappeared simultaneously, while the magic disappeared from the magicians of the demonic kings who exercised their magic.
"What's got into you!?
"Magic, no magic..."
"What's happening!?
The Dewitching Kings, who did not understand what happened, try to exercise their magic again, but nothing happens because they cannot feel the magic. I declare once again to the crowd that Seyya panicked when she saw the sight.
"I will never lose, no matter what. So live in peace in this country."
If you've heard that word from time to time, you might laugh at it as bullshit. But immediately after seeing the power of Seyya now, I don't think that word is a lie either.
The panic had already subsided. And earlier screams turn to cheer, and a storm of drinking is showered towards Seyya. Besides, this time I have the impression that generations who know Keith over middle-aged are happier than youngsters. Given that Seyya's appearance is two things Keith and the melon, it won't be impossible for them to be happy either.
Thus the inauguration of the Great Demon King Lucifer came to a successful conclusion, and the demon kings who tried to attack Seyya were captured by guards who had been pre-positioned by Gilanel.
