Chapter 431: The Demon Lord's Arrival
🕑 Added 2025-09-15 04:51:32 +0000 UTCJust as everyone was chatting and complaining, Yo Kasukabe, whose senses were more acute, noticed a trace of abnormality, raised her head, looked at the sky, and then widened her eyes, exclaiming.
"What's that?" Hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked up at the sky.
Immediately afterward, everyone saw it.
Black parchments, like feathers falling from the sky, slowly drifted down from mid-air on the wind.
"That's... black contract documents?!" Everyone's pupils
suddenly shrank as they exclaimed. Because the meaning represented by the black contract documents was the start of the Demon Lord's game, which echoed the disasters of Little Garden!
Only Blake, his black pupils seeming to pierce through the obstacles of space, looked in a certain direction, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips.
Finally here, my new maid.
................
In the sky above the boundary wall between Outer Gate 3999999 on the East District side and Outer Gate 4000000 on the North District side, at an altitude of about two thousand meters, four figures stood on the protrusions of the boundary wall.
Those were four completely different-sized figures.
Standing on the left was a woman in revealing white attire, with platinum blonde hair, appearing to be in her twenties, exuding a bewitching aura, and holding a long flute in her hand.
Standing on the right was a sturdy man in a black military uniform, with short black hair, carrying a thick flute like a baton on his shoulder.
Standing in the rear was a figure with a smooth exterior made of pottery-like material, with many ventilation holes all over its body. It looked like a fifty-foot-tall anthropomorphic giant flute, with a huge ventilation hole in the face area, like a puppet.
As for the one standing at the very front, it was a petite girl wearing a black and white spotted dress, snow boots, and appearing to be only twelve or thirteen years old.
These four figures, with completely different auras, appearances, and atmospheres, stood on the high boundary wall in a slanted square formation, looking down.
Their gazes fell upon the main Gift Game venue of the Fire Dragon Birth Festival.
Looking at the venue that was continuously erupting
with deafening cheers, which could still be faintly heard even from over two thousand meters away, the woman exuding a bewitching aura twirled the flute in her hand and said, whether with disdain or envy, "They're about to face disaster, yet they're still happily holding a festival?"
"What's wrong? Ratten?" The sturdy man glanced at the woman. "Do you want to go participate?"
"If there's someone there who can amuse me, then it's not entirely out of the question, Weser," the woman named Ratten smiled enchantingly. "But, there, the only ones qualified to be our opponents should be that little girl from 'Salamandra' who was just pushed to the position of Floor Master and that terrifying solar spirit from the East District, right?"
"Did you forget about that silver-haired boy you encountered yesterday when you manipulated the rats to attack?" The sturdy man named Weser narrowed his eyes. "That terrifying storm, don't be careless. And the Moon Rabbit of the Little Garden nobility."
"The silver-haired boy does need attention. The nobles of the lower Little Garden can't casually participate in games, not even Demon Lord's Gift Games, so they're not worth worrying about. Weser, you're too apprehensive," Ratten raised her eyebrows slightly.
"It's always good to be careful," Weser said noncommittally.
Ratten nodded noncommittally, then looked at the petite girl standing at the very front with a happy smile. "Even if that black-haired boy has some strength, with Master here, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"
Hearing this, the girl standing in front, wearing a black and white spotted dress, raised her delicate face, which held no emotion, and announced in a flat voice, "Let's begin..."
Hearing the girl's voice, both Weser and Ratten showed
somewhat cruel smiles.
"Yes! My Master!"
.......
"It's a Demon Lord! A Demon Lord has appeared!!!!!" At this time, inside the main Gift Game venue of the Fire Dragon Birth Festival, everyone stopped cheering. They were first bewildered, but when they caught the falling parchments, their faces instantly filled with fear and panic, and they shouted loudly, turning the entire venue into chaos.
On Blake's side, except for Blake, who remained calm,
Izayoi Sakamaki and the others all scanned the black contract documents with serious expressions.
This was not Blake, the Righteous Path Demon Lord's Gift Game, but an unknown Demon Lord's. Even they had to take it seriously. Although their side was very strong, capsizing in a gutter would be disastrous.
It was a contract document sealed with wax bearing the image of a flute-playing clown.
The contract document read as follows:
