Chapter 218 - Nine Tailed Fox & Dragon vs Demon King

Youko and Hakua confronted the demon Sitri on the final floor of the Dungeon Ruins.

“Demon...Demon, you say? Stop spouting nonsense.”

“Oh dear, I’m not spouting nonsense.”

“There’s no way a demon will possess that Bakemono-level of mana!! Tell the truth, aren’t you the Demon King?”

“Mm, well, actually, that’s true, but Danna-sama already erased the protection of Evil God-sama, so right now, I’m really just a mere demon.”

“Huh?”

“H-how did that happen?”

“Well, long story short, this Dungeon’s Final Boss is a fallen demon king who lost her power — that’s it.”

“...Does Master know this?”

“That I was the Demon King? No, probably not. He was — and probably still — under the impression that I am a majin even up to the last moment before he Tamed me.”

“You didn’t get mad when he treated you as a majin despite being a demon?”

Youko asked, but Sitri chuckled in reply.

“What a funny thing to say. In front of that person, thoughts such as majin, warlock, demons and whatnot no longer matter, don't it? After all, he’s a being that can erase the protection of Evil God-sama — a deity, you know.”

“Hmm...Well, I guess that’s true.”

“She has a point!”

Youko and Hakua agreed with Sitri’s words.

“So, based on our conversation, you are acquainted with Danna-sama, are you not?”

“We’re not acquaintances.”

“We are his wives~!”

“Oh my, is that so! Well then, please take care of me from now on.”

Sitri respectfully bowed her head.

“You’re addressing Master as Danna-sama, but...you two aren’t married, are you?”

“Indeed, not yet. But, Danna-sama tamed me. What we have is a bond that is far stronger than something as unreliable as marriage.”

“Hmpf. You really understand, huh.”

“Hm… what do you mean by that?”

“That’s it, I guess. If you win against us in battle, then I’ll tell you.”

“So I am to fight both of you?”

“Yuppity yup! If we defeat you, Halt’s gonna reward us~”

“Oh my!”

Sitri’s face suddenly brightened up.

“Then, conversely, if I defeat both of you, will Danna-sama praise me?!”

“I-I’m not so sure….”

“That’s alright. I’m sure that Danna-sama will praise me then.”

“So you’re determined to win against us?”

“Youko and I are super strong, you know. Doesn’t matter if you’re the Demon King, we’ll never lose!!”

After saying that, both of them returned to their original forms.

A ginormous nine-tailed fox monster and a snow white dragon glared at Sitri.

“Hoh, so you are a nine-tailed fox and a Hakuryuu. No wonder you are so confident. But — ”

Sitri also released her power.

“I am also formerly a Demon King. Please don’t think that you can easily defeat me.”

When the Evil God’s protective blessing disappeared, Halt poured lots of mana into her to replenish the power that she lost, and thanks to that, Sitri has become several times stronger than before.
