Rise as a Demon Lordress - M. B. Queen (trending books to read TXT) 📗

asked with a questioning expression..

She sighs.

"Let's enter. We can only hope that the beast behind the door doesn't cause us problems." She muttered.

The ten of them went up to the door and it opened immediately.

It was like last night never happened.

Behind the gate was like stepping into a whole new domain. It was a swamp like area, nothing like the forest they just left behind.

She got this vibe that the monster in this swamp will be a bitch to handle.

"Shh." Mercenary Illiard placed a finger before her lips.

Sure enough the sound of rustling could be heard.

 

SFX: Hissss!

 

A vision of a snake that was as long as a tree came out of the forest.

But this was no ordianry snake, this one had the upper body of a human-like figure.

"Welcome my guesss. It'sss a pleasssure to meet such delectable prey!" The snake cries out with a gleeful cheer.

The ten mercenaries felt fear that they never felt before.

This monster was on a whole new level.

 

Baslisk

Type: Snake Demon            Level: 80

 

"Looks like we're at a disadvantage here." Mercenary Leader says clenching her hammer tightly.

"How the hell are we supposed to fight that thing!?" Mercenary Timth asked pointing at the Snake Demon.

It reared in anger, "Thing?!? Baslisssk isss not a thing! You stupid human, die!" The snake brought down it's tail on top of Timth.

 

SFX: Crack!

SFX: Splat!

 

It was so fast that not a single one of them saw it coming.

All that remained of Timth was blood mixed with tiny pieces of his flesh.

Lilian Screams and falls to her knees, while the rest of them shivered with terror.

"Hmph, ssserves that human trasssh right. 

This is not looking too great, that damned snake has a temper and if someone pushes it's buttons it's likely they'd all die here at this very moment.

"Shit, Timth." Mercenary Jameson says gritting his teeth.

"Play with me humansss! If you beat me I promissse to let you go." The Demon snake says with a gleeful leer.

How on earth can they get close to that snake?

"Hey, Illiard. Looks like we'll need your Archer skills. Can you find a high point where the snake can't reach you?" Mecenary Leader whispers.

Illiard nods and finds the right moment to sneak away.

"Oh, what'sss thisss?Are you fleeing perhapsss?" The snake's voice was close.

Mercenary Leader was glancing over to see the large body of a snake in her sights.

When the hell did she get there?!

Illiard disappears from where she was, and the sight of something slowly going down inside the snakes belly was clear enough to understand what just happened.

"Be good Human Leader. Don't want to lossse anymore of your human comradesss, right?" She asked, then slithered away.

Fuck! 

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

 

Female Lead's Prspective

 

"Oh boy." I muttered.

"What do we do Mistress? Looks like Baslisk lost all reasons." Hina says with a concerned expression.

Well, I was looking forward to some guests. Don't think these mercenaries will make it out alive.

"It's no matter. The first batch of guinea pigs was more or less a failure. It's a shame, but it only means they resulted to this much." Gasper says.

Gasper is a Ghoul with the ability to raise the undead. He works under Xivir the Spider Demon

He's right. It's not a problem if they didn't make it to the fortress. It would have been nice though.

It's going to be an issue if I can't raise the levels of my subordinates.

Well, I do have other methods. Like sending thm off to eliminate small cities or villages.

"Four left, that Baslisk sure knows how to get things done." Enrus says.

"Yes, she sure does." I agreed.

 

Vol 2 Ch 7: A bad ending/ A surprise guest

"What the hell is this? That monster!" Mercenary Lilian was staring at the demon snake with terror.

It was clear that they weren't this demon's match. Even their leader was brought to her knees right now.

Ten mercenary men became four so easily.

"Oh my, what's this? Seems I went overboard." The demon snake's eyes were narrowed and there was a smirk on her face.

The Mercenary Leader forced herself to her feet.

Even though right now she was bleeding from the gash on her waist, she still couldn't let herself lose here.

That damned monster, to take up a strange form like that.

Veiw of a snake with two bodies, one that looks human and the other that looks like a snake.

Isn't this foul play? It pratically has no blind spots making it a very difficult opponent.

The reward earlier was no use against the steel scales of the snake's body.

As for the human part of the snake, one would think this part of the body is the weakest but it's not the case at all.

Defense and offense; the human part has offense with speed and agility.

While the snake body has a body hard to penetrate.

Damn!

"Boss, there's no way we will win this! We'll buy you some time to escape." Mercenary Gale says facing the demon snake with determination.

As if following Gale; Lilian and Maddie followed along all three blocking the path of the snake demon.

There's no way she'd be happy about this, but in her condition she'd only be in their way.

But...Even so, where could she run to?

"Oh ho, how admirable. But you sssee...I won't let you essscape." The snake says.

The snake swung back its tail and without the leader seeing what happened; the three mercenaries bodies were split in halve right around the waist.

It was a sight that traumatized the mercenary Leader so much, that she had lost all will to keep fighting.

"All that's left is the leader, I think I broke her." Baslisk says as Hina appears before her.

The Mercenary Leader falls to her knees her expression dark and without emotion.

"We'll leave this one to the science freak. Also, the Mistress is displeased with the result. She wishes you to repent for a few days." Hina reached out her hand towards the snake demon.

Out of nowhere it disappeared and found itself in the dark abyss.

View of Hina using teleportation back to the palace and dumping the mercenary leader on the floor.

"How unsatisfying. She's all yours." Hina says to Guardian Yumo.

"I'll hand her over to Folia." He says with a wave of his hand.

"Hm, it's upsetting that it's a woman but I will love to experiment how she was able to get such massive muscles." Folia says while rubbing her chin curiously.

"That' enough. Get that human out of the Mistress's sight." Delmor orders.

Just like that the first test was over.

"Shall we get a new batch Your Highness?" Hina asked.

"Yes, send one of Yumo's Henchmen." Their mistress ordered.

"What a great idea Mistress. Which kingdom are we using this time?" Yumo asked with an evil smile.

"Belmeth Kingdom. It seems that recently some adventurers have appeared there. I wonder how well they will do." Their Mistress answered.

They were all excited to see how far these new guinea pigs will get.

 

Belmeth Kingdom, Nimata's Perspective

 

The view of Nimata sitting across from a hooded figure.

Upon entering the kingdom of Belmeth she encountered this person whom seemed quite suspicious.

"Hero of the city of Irata. I need your assitance!" The man says loudly.

How annoying.

It seems something bothersome has come her way.

"Depends on the assitance that you need." She answers with caution.

"It's simple, I'm looking for certain individuals. I will pay anything to find them and have them destroyed!" The man says.

Let's get more information.

"Certain...indiviuals?" She asked.

There was a short silence before the hooded man spoke again.

"A man that can turn into a dragon and his companions.' he says.

!!

Nimata was shocked to hear this.

How interesting, she wonder if what this person was saying true.

"Why did you come to me? Who the hell are you?" Nimata asked.

The hooded finger lifted their hands and suddenly pulled back their hood.

The person she did not expect revealed their face.

"The hell!!"

"Miss Nimata, I come as a friend and as someone who's known your real personality for some time now. Please help me destroy these individuals!"

Nimata covered her mouth to hide her smirk. 

Well damn, now this was a variable that she hadn't expected.

"I see, to think that you were still alive, Prince Judis." Nimata says.

 

Prince Judis Revealed to be alive still! What's to come next after his request for help?

Vol 2 Ch 8: The appearance of a Demon in Belmeth

 

Prince Judis escaped the claws of death.

But he had revenge on his mind and that's the reason he came out of hiding.

Nimata, The Hero. She was someone everyone put their beliefs in but behind closed doors she's a psycopath with a strange hobby of collecting monsters.

"A dragon you say, and if I help you what's in it for me?" She asked.

"I will let you capture the dragon and use it in your collection." He points out.

"What's the catch?" Nimata asked.

"I want the dragon to suffer for killing all my men." He answers.

Nimata smiles with a giddy expression, "it's a deal then." She says.

It's not her ogre demon, but who would turn down such an amazing deal?

"I'm glad you agreed. It's more like, I knew you couldn't turn it down." [Thanks to your personality, I can read you like a book] Prince Judis thought with a outward smile.

 

The Town Center of Belmeth

 

The ground begins to shake and the sky has darkened.

What looked like a teleportation portal as red as blood; appeared a few meters above the peoples head on top of a building.

"What's going on?" The sounds of the citizens panicking as two strange beings appeared from inside this portal.

"Look over there! There's somone on top of Sumertan Inn!" Someone points to get everyone elses attention.

"Oh my! What a huge crowd. Do you see this, Master?" The voice says with glee.

"I do and it looks like a new harvest for our Mistress to enjoy." The other being agrees.

The panicked crowd had no clue what was happening.

The beings on the roof top looked down below at the citizens, one with a malicious expression across her face.

"Good day little insects, I am Folia, a simple henchman and this here is my master the First Guardian." Folia introduces.

"A pleasure humans, I am Yumo." Yumo greets himself followed by a toothy smile.

"What is it?" Someone asks.

"It's a Demi-Wolf!" Someone shrieks.

"Someone call the guards!" Someone calls out.

"Oh dear, please do. The more the merrier. Since today will be a lucky day for a select few!" Folia says with happy clap.

More citizens began to gather in the center.

Even guards were among them.

"Look look, Master! Isn't it great, there are armed gaurds!" She says happily.

"What on Earth is going on here!?" A figure pushed through the crowd, a bunch of guards following behind.

The man wore light robes with expensive silks and
