Dungeon Battle Royale ~ Since I became a Demon King, I will aim for World Domination

Chapter 294 – vs. Demon King Motoki ③

My subordinates all at once swooped down on Motoki and his surviving elves.

“Team J! We are the main stars on this fine night! We shall honor the dumb pig with our best requiem!”

Excelling in individual strength, Saburou’s corps overruns Motoki’s subordinates.

“Shion has ordered us to not let a single one of them get away!”

“I see. I guess we’ll also accomplish our duty. It’s Shion’s order, kill them all!”

Rina and Kotetsu cleverly command their corps, locking up the elves in an ever tighter encirclement while mopping them up.

“All those fools shall become nourishment for Shion-sama…!” Izayoi appears to be unaccustomed to leading a corps, but he still slays one elf after the other, amply displaying his own strength.

“You lot! Aren’t you frustrated!? The likes of seedy elves are branded as pigs by Master! But, tell me, who are the pigs of the Aster Empire!?”

“””Ooiink!!”””

“Who are the lowest, most inferior meat shields of the Aster Empire!?”

“””Ooiink!!”””

“Very well. We shall reclaim our rightful title!”

“””Ooiink!!”””

After Hibiki inspired his corps’ orcs with some incomprehensible pep talk, they all charged the elves.

Our forces excel Motoki’s in everything, be it individual strength or numerical superiority. His elves are dying like flies. I’d say, it’s checkmate.

At this point, it’s no battlefield any longer, but a slaughterhouse. And I joined the massacre as well.

◆

Fifteen minutes later.

All elves except for Motoki have been cleaned up. Motoki himself has been cornered into a state close to death by Izayoi and Saburou.

――Izayoi, Saburou, step back!

I restrain the two as they’re about to finish off Motoki any moment. They immediately lower their weapons and step back. Passing between them, I approach Motoki.

“S-S-S-Shion…!? No, Shion-sama!” Despite being on the verge of death, Motoki looks at me with eyes full of begging and imploring. “I-I understand! I’ll surrender…s-so, please, just my life…”

“No. You’re not worthy of my trust.”

This pig tried to swindle me. And because of his treachery, many of my subordinates, which I shouldn’t have lost, paid with their lives.

“A-At once! I’ll fetch the 【True Core】 at once! Please! Please! Allow me to become part of the Aster Empire as a lowly foot soldier!”

“I declined it just now, didn’t I?”

“W-Why!? Aren’t you and I friends, Shion-tan!? Oh right! If you turn me into your subordinate, you’ll be able to do with my selfish body as you plea――”

――《Crescent Moon Slash》!

I bisected Motoki, who kept prattling nonsense until the bitter end, with my Growth Lance. I believed him to be a cunning, black-hearted pig, but…why did he think that he’d be able to change my feelings with those last words of his?

Oh well, time to move on to the next phase.

――Yataro, we’ll take control of Motoki’s sectors! Use the bloodkin as you see fit.

I order Yataro and also send my bloodkin, who have nothing to do, into the sectors formerly ruled by Motoki.

――Tusk, broadcast the video we prepared earlier.

I give Tusk the go to execute the next plan.

After having finished handing out most of the instructions, I used my smartphone to check out the video we recorded in advance and which I had Tusk submit a little while ago.

A silver-haired Demon King aka me is shown on my smartphone.

『I’m Demon King Shion of the Aster Empire. This is a warning to all humans and Demon King living in and around the Toyama Prefecture. You were able to confirm our country’s might with your own eyes, right? Starting from now on, the Aster Empire will take all former domains of Demon King Motoki. We are the ones who killed him. Therefore, we hold the right to take his sectors for ourselves. If by any chance looters should show up, I promise you that we’ll destroy all their forces at highest priority. I hope you choose your actions wisely』

And then the video blacked out.

Our massacre of Motoki and his forces has been streamed to the whole world. As far as we could tell, even the human media has picked up on it, in addition to our own broadcast. This was one of the big reasons why I had my forces annihilate Motoki’s forces with an overwhelming might. The goal was to detain any third party by displaying our absolute power and our handling of traitors.

I wonder how much of an effect it’s going to have. If looters actually show up and we continue to stay true to our promise by eliminating them, it’ll likely turn into a strong deterrent.

And there existed another reason why we annihilated Motoki’s forces with such overwhelming might.

Now then, I wonder whether it’s gone well…

I took out my 【Megaphone】 while silently praying for its success.
