Book 5: Chapter 34: Truce

Scarlet

Silence fills the battlefield, making me glance downwards from the Clan Demon in front of me to find all of the demons on the battlefield suddenly no longer moving. Except the ones fighting the Red Plague, that is. Theyre still trying to push it back and get rid of it.

The rest of the demons all act as if theyve been snapped out of some trance though.

I really did it. I broke the curse on all of the demons, at least on Earth. I dont think I managed to do anything about the demons on Tartarus, unfortunately.

Id have to actually go to Tartarus to do that.

And Im sure Gramps will get the message when I break his curse along with the rest on Tartarus.

All because of the Red Plague

I smile at that thought, realizing it does have some good other than its pure power after all.

My thoughts are interrupted when howls, roars, shouts, and cheers of all kind echo around the entire frontlines. Then a single voice echoes out over them all, belonging to the man right next to me.

Attention all demons currently on Earth! The Warden of the Red Plague, Princess of the Demons, Apex Predator, and Bane of Corruption has managed to erase the curse that has been terrorizing us demons for ages! She has rid us all of the curse and brought us true peace for the first times in our lives!!!

I find myself surprised by how enthusiastic Damien is being, considering how he was just moments ago. Then he turns to me and kneels midair, surprising me for just a second as he declares, Your Highness, I swear myself to you now and forever. I will be your knight, your shield, and your sword should you make use of me.

He raises his head, showing a grin on his undead face that is the complete opposite of his face before.

And its not just him. Soon enough, demons all around the frontlines are abandoning the battlefield to fly up here and bow before me, reciting very similar lines.

Didnt know they could do that, but I get the feeling it doesnt stop them from having to obey gramps orders.

To my surprise, I sense a familiar power edging in on the frontlines, making me glance to the side to find Satan arriving. And the man has a wide smile on his face despite the wounds on his body. Which dont number as many as Red has, making me understand where those two were.

Soon enough Satan approaches me, joining Damien in the whole kneeling down midair thing that theyre doing. And then all of the other demons on the frontlines do the same thing, except without the flying part. Since most of them cant fly.

Which leaves me staring at a massive army of millions of demons, all bowing.

I cant help but furrow my brow at the sight of the demons even forcing the non-sapient demons to bow as well.

The humans begin to grow quiet and confused at the sight of every last demon kneeling down with their heads facing the ground. Or at least, kneeling down in whatever way they can, considering that most of them dont actually have humanoid forms.

And after several seconds of absolute silence filling the battlefield, a single collective and simultaneous sentence rings out throughout the entire battlefield.

Thank you, Your Highness, for saving us from our curse. You will forever be the Royal we serve, the Moon we follow, and the Warden we trust in. The Apex Predator, our Savior, and our Princess.

I start to feel my face heating up slightly as I wasnt prepared for that, but I just smile and give all of them a single light wave of my hand.

And out of the corner of my eye, I spot cameras from the humans side flashing, recording and taking pictures of the whole thing.

Tar even appears and lands on my shoulder during the middle of it.

Looks like weve got one obstacle out of the way, he comments, making me nod my head in silence.

Now we just have to deal with the void creatures.
