OVERLORD: The Second Supreme Being

In the northern part of the Holy Kingdom, at the Demi-human command center.

"What? You say she is now our superior? Why? She doesn't even have a single soldier, so why should she command us?" the Tiger-headed Demi-human roared angrily.

The many Demi-human present looked at Kelart, the succubus, with displeased expressions.

"This is not my order. This is the command of the Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth. If you want to defy His Excellency's order, then feel free," said the Serpent-bodied Demi-human sitting at the head of the meeting table.

Upon hearing this, the Tiger-headed Demi-human plopped back down into his seat.

"Although I accept your orders, if you command recklessly, I won't listen," the Tiger-headedDemi-human muttered, saying this to make himself feel better.

"I've heard that in your faction, leaders are chosen based on strength," Kelart said, wearing a qipao and a long robe.

Although she was already a succubus, Kelart didn't like wearing revealing clothes.

And the clothes Peroroncino gave her were almost all revealing, except for this qipao, which was somewhat better.

"So what if I am?" the Tiger-headed Demi-human said.

"Then let me see your strength! One of the Ten Great Demi-human, the one with the title of 'Demon Claw,' Vijar the General!" Kelart said, looking at the Tiger-headed Demi-human.

The Tiger-headed Demi-human in front of her smiled and then spoke:

"Do you think you, with that weak body, can defeat me?"

"You probably can't even withstand a single punch from me!"

"Let's see if that's true," Kelart retorted boldly.

"Come at me then!" Vijar, holding his giant axe, walked out of the meeting room and headed outside.

Kelart also walked outside.

Ever since Peroroncino transformed her into a succubus, Kelart felt that her strength had become incredibly powerful.

Even when facing Remedios, who wielded the Holy Sword, in a one-on-one physical fight, she felt she had a 90% chance of winning.

And when it came to facing the Tiger-headed Demi-human in front of her, Kelart believed there was no way she could lose.

"Let's begin!" Vijar, the Tiger-headed Demi-human, said.

"Swish!" As soon as Vijar finished speaking, Kelart's figure instantly disappeared from her original position.

The next moment, she appeared right in front of Vijar, delivering a whip-like kick straight toward his face.

Vijar, the Tiger-headed Demi-human, immediately blocked the attack with his axe. He forcefully swung the axe, throwing Kelart away.

Kelart performed a graceful backflip and landed steadily.

"Martial Fury!"

Vijar roared, his eyes turning crimson as he charged toward Kelart, swinging his axe.

"Fifth-tier Magic: Thorn Vines!" Even though she had become a succubus, Kelart's magical abilities hadn't disappeared.

Suddenly, numerous vines appeared at Vijar's feet, wrapping around his legs.

"You're still a mage!" Vijar roared, and with his raw strength, he broke free from the thorns.

Kelart drew her black sword.

This was the rune-engraved weapon that Peroroncino had given her. He said it was a prototype with only six rune engravings.

But to her, this weapon already seemed stronger than her sister Remedios's Holy Sword.

"Clang!"

The giant axe and black sword collided, sending out a powerful shockwave. Even the other members of the Ten Demi-human could feel the strength of both combatants.

The two exchanged blows, weapons clashing continuously, and gradually, Vijar, the Tiger-headed Demi-human, began to fall into a disadvantage.

"I won't lose!"

"Martial Fury: Blood Burn!"

"Martial Fury: Savage Strike!"

The weapon in Vijar's hands emitted a faint glow as he swung it heavily toward Kelart.

"Clang!"

As the weapons collided, Kelart was clearly at a disadvantage this time, feeling the strain.

Vijar, the Tiger-headed Demi-human, looked at her with surprise in his eyes.

"How is this possible! Why is your weapon still completely unharmed?!"

"Why do you look so dumbfounded?"

"How is it possible to be unharmed by my weapon ＜Blade Wing＞ using a Savage Strike. This is a legendary magic weapon.."

"Although my weapon is not a magic weapon, it is not weak. My master calls it a Rune Weapon, a weapon with various enchantments."

As she spoke, Kelart deflected Vijar's giant axe and pointed her sword at his neck.

"You lost!"

"I lost. I am willing to obey your commands. May I ask for your name?" Vijar asked.

"My name is Kelart. Remember it well."

Originally, Kelart hadn't intended to use her real name, but Peroroncino forced her to do so.

The reason was to let Remedios know of her existence.

........

At this time, the delegation from the Holy Kingdom had already met up with the army.

Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Holy Kingdom were now following Remedios' orders. Their target was the nearest city currently occupied by the Demon.

The adventurer thieves responsible for scouting discovered that the city was being guarded by the Goatfolk, and there were many human prisoners inside.

Since the enemy forces were just a regular Demon unit, Remedios did not inform Peroroncino or the Sorcerer King but decided to lead the attack herself.

"Summon angels to launch the attack. The Holy Knights, with siege hammers, will charge the gates."

Hundreds of angels flew to the top of the city walls, attacking the Goatfolk archers.

A mere one to two thousand Goatfolk stood no chance of holding the city.

Under the cover of the angels, the city gates were soon broken open.

The Goatfolk fought with all their might, managing to kill only a few dozen angels, but more angels were quickly summoned.

"You are not allowed to attack again, or I will kill her!"

The Goatfolk leader stood on a high platform, holding an 8-year-old girl in a blue dress with his left hand. His right hand held a dagger pressed against the girl's neck.

Seeing that the enemy did not retreat, the Goatfolk leader killed the girl and immediately replaced her with another hostage.

A 7-year-old boy in gray clothes.

"Fall back! All units retreat!" Remedios shouted loudly upon witnessing the scene.

Upon hearing Remedios' command, the soldiers began to retreat.

Seeing that their plan had succeeded, the Goatfolk leader spoke again:

"Holy Knights outside the city, drop your weapons, or I will kill him."

"Nana, go save him!" Peroroncino said to Nana, who was standing beside him.

Nana nodded and disappeared on the spot.

At this moment, the Sorcerer King looked at the group, hesitating as he prepared to act.

"Everyone, drop your weapons!" Remedios shouted.

"Why drop our weapons when we could achieve victory with minimal cost?" Neia, who had become much more confident after many conversations with the Sorcerer King, questioned Remedios.

"Shut up. If we give up on the hostage, we are no longer worthy of being called Holy Knight."

But others didn't think the same way.

In order to break through the city gates, many Holy Knight had been killed by the large boulders thrown by the Goatfolk. Is the life of a hostage more important than the lives of Holy Knight?

"Since you are not planning to continue the attack, let me handle it!" the Sorcerer King spoke up.

"Shut your mouth. We, from the Holy Kingdom, don't need you, an Undead, to interfere," Remedios said, her respect for the Sorcerer King completely vanished.

Her eyes were filled with disgust, and she didn't hide it at all, staring directly at the Sorcerer King.
