Evil Lord - Breaks through city wall

As everyone was looking around uneasily, Neia noticed something strange about the wall connected to the outside. “Ah!” she gasped.

The wall had a crack in it. As everyone watched, cracks radiated outward, and the wall began to bulge inward. Then—

“Watch out!”

Just as Remedios shouted, the King of Darkness moved in front of Neia.

The wall loudly burst open, scattering bricks into the room like buckshot. A few people groaned. They’d been struck by the flying bricks.

If the King of Darkness hadn’t shielded her, Neia might have been screaming with the rest of them.

“Th-thank y—”

She tried to thank him, but he raised a hand to stop her. He was pointing at the billowing smoke.

A shadow was visible in the blazing flames.

“I appreciate you coming to meet me, humans.”

A deep, heavy voice.

As if parting the cloud of dust, the figure stepped through the gaping hole in the wall and slowly showed himself.

It was…a demon.

He was so large, he had to bend over slightly to fit in the room. He definitely looked a bit ridiculous, but this was no time to laugh. Neia’s throat wasn’t working properly, and when she tried to swallow the suddenly very noticeable spit in her mouth, it wouldn’t go down.

Here was a mass of overwhelming power.
