Chapter 106 - Underwater Castle

――Demon Duke Levia’s base,『Underwater Castle』

 

 Located in the deepest part of the Underwater Castle, a bewitching beauty sat on a throne.

 

 She had a soft smile floating on her beautiful face and skin tinged in slight blueness seeming to be nearly translucent.

 

 Some of her skin was covered in gorgeous scales appearing like a dress.

 

 

 

 As if playing with boredom, she gazed at the colourful fish swimming around with rapt attention.

 

 This magical scene downright resembles a painting.

 

 

 

 However, she was one of the highest-ranking demons who controlled territories of a scale close to the Demon King in the Demon Realm.

 

 She was the master of this base, the Demon Duke Levia.

 

 

 

“Levia-sama!”

 

“My, what might be the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?”

 

 

 

 She leisurely responded to her subordinate’s loud voice that suddenly interrupted her.

 

 

 

“Strong magical power is approaching the castle!”

 

“Strong magical power?”

 

“It’s probably a Duke!”

 

 

 

 Could a Duke have possibly come on their own to attack this place?

 

 Even she wore a grave expression as well.

 

 

 

 Usually, when invading a demon’s base, one needs at least three times the opponent’s strength.

 

 That’s the Demon Realm’s common sense.

 

 Thus, it’s a matter of course that one prepares that kind of force if one wanted to attack this base.

 

 

 

 However, Levia wondered if it’s possible to gather that kind of force.

 

 In recent years, she kept on adding new title holding demons, growing her influence.

 

 Among all the six Demon Dukes, she probably now had the power to fight against one or two Dukes.

 

 

 

 Could the Dukes possibly have joined hands?

 

 Impossible.

 

 All of them were lumps of pride.

 

 They had a cat-and-dog-like relationship for many years.

 

 It can be said that they’d never cooperate with each other.

 

 

 

 If that’s the case, it would be as if the Demon King embarked on an invasion of the whole Demon Realm.

 

 

 

“How much power does the other party have?”

 

“Tha, that’s…… I can only sense a huge amount of magical power”

 

“……What is the meaning of this?”

 

 

 

 Levia looked puzzled.

 

 

 

“That Duke is approaching us without any subordinates?”

 

“Probably……”

 

 

 

 It was a hard to understand situation.

 

 Or was their goal not to invade but to request a conversation?

 

 However, if that were the case they would have contacted them beforehand.

 

   Suddenly approaching a base on their own was an act that can’t be helped but taken as a declaration of war.

 

 

 

“Though I don’t know what they are thinking, just who is that Duke……? Could it be that declining Belfeene was driven to desperation? Fufufu, if that’s the case then this isn’t such an implausible matter, is it not?”

 

 

 

 Levia remembered the dumb Duke’s face and smiled with pleasure.

 

 Belfeene was gradually stripped off her territory by her.

 

   ◇ ◇ ◇

 

“Achoooo!”

 

 Belfeene let out an enormous sneeze.

 

“Did someone talk about me……?”

 

 She muttered while sniffling.

 

“Ooh, is it that by any chance? The lake in which that demon called Levia’s base is in?”

 

“……That’s right”

 

 

 

 What I reached with Belfeene’s guidance was a very large lake.

 

 For the Demon Realm, the water was really clean and transparent.

 

 

 On the bottom of it was a gigantic castle.

 

 That is a Demon Duke’s stronghold.

 

 

 

“……D, do you really intend to invade that place?”

 

“What are you getting cold feet for now?”

 

“I refused to do it from the beginning though!? I mean, I didn’t have any other choice but to go with you because you always call me as you please with summoning magic!”

 

 

 

 After Belfeene shouted for a while,

 

 

 

“……As you can see, that one’s base is underwater. Although I can hold my breath for several hours, no matter how I think about it it’s disadvantageous. I mean, a human like you in the first place—EH, Why are you suddenly taking your clothes ooooooooff!?”

 

“Well, wouldn’t it be unpleasant to get my clothes wet?”

 

 

 

 I was completely naked.

 

 I even took off my underwear, becoming stark naked.

 

 


 

“Wear some underwear at least!?”

 

 

 

 Belfeene cried as such while covering her face with her hands.

 

 However, she frequently glanced at my crotch through the gaps between her fingers.

 

 

 

 Good grief, can’t be helped, huh……While shrugging my shoulders, I put on some swimwear.

 

 They were swim briefs.

 

 

 

“Come on, quickly change your clothes as well.”

 

“Are you telling me to wear something as perverted looking as that!?”

 

“Apologize to the swim briefers of the whole country”

 

 

 

『……What are swim briefers, master? 』

 

 

 

 Well, it certainly did look pretty risqué through.

 

 However, I think the point that no one can criticize swim briefs, probably because they became established as something used in swimming races, is wonderful.

 

 

 

“There are swimsuits for women as well. Wouldn’t it be better to have as little water resistance as possible?”

 

“I, it can’t be helped then……Eh, don’t come over here!? I’ll change my clothes now!”

 

 

 

 After changing under the shade of a rock, Belfeene showed off her appearance.

 

 By the way, I handed her a micro bikini at first, but, as I thought, I wasn’t able to deceive her into wearing it like Ellen. What a shame.

 

 

 

“The amount of skin covered with this is pretty low as well though……”

 

 

 

 Belfeene twisted her body uncomfortably dressed in the bikini.

 

 

 

“I mean, you’re a demon, so I think it would be okay if you wore something more bold and sensational though.”

 

“Don’t treat me the same as demons of the lust system!”

 

 

 

 Somehow, even though they were all demons, they had seemed to have a completely different sense of virtue.

 

 

 

 Moreover, I used the magic that the mermaids used before.

 

 With this, one’d be able to breathe underwater, minimize the water pressure’s effect and it also prevented one from getting wet.

 

 

 

“Wai, if you had that kind of magic spell there wasn’t any reason for us to change into swimsuits, right?!”

 

“Well then, let’s go!”

 

“Hey! I said hey!?”

 

 

 

 Dragging Belfeene by her hand, I jumped into the lake.

 

 

 

 The castle was protected by a thick outer wall and barriers, and it seems like one can only enter through the front gate.

 

 It’s not like I couldn’t destroy the wall and the barriers, but let’s quietly pass through the entrance.

 

 

 

 The gate was wide open as if inviting us in.

 

 They might think we’d be easier to deal with if they just invited us in like that.

 

We entered while being cautious of traps using 〈Detection・Extreme〉.

 

 

 

 As I thought, the inside looked like a dungeon.

 

 We were greeted first by a very wide space.

 

 It was a beautiful place in which a great mass of colourful corals grew, one could even call it a coral garden.

 

 

 

 However, this jungle-like place was also perfect for hunters who want to eliminate intruders while hiding their presence.

 

 

 

 The moment we happened to pass by a nearby coral, a fish hiding in it ―― having sharp teeth like a piranha ―― suddenly flew out of it.

 

 

 

“It’s useless”

 

 

 

 As soon as the piranha (like monsters) bit into Belfeene’s body they instantly rotted away leaving only bones.

 

The skill 〈Corrosion・Extreme〉 she has can rot anything in existence, leading everything to ruin.

 

 Touching her directly like that was suicidal.

 

 

 

“Dirty” (He actually said エンガチョwhich is more or less used by children now ward off against someone “dirty” the also cross their fingers)

 

“I’m not dirty though!?”

 

 

 

 On the other hand, the piranhas that attacked me simply had their prided fangs broken.

 

 They couldn’t even bite through my skin whose resistance was just too high.

 

 

 

“However, piranha living in corals, the ecosystem here is pretty messed up”

 

 

 

 Furthermore, as if the assault of the swarm of piranha was a signal, a swarm of needlefish-like demonic beasts with a spear like pointed mouth, a swarm of catfish-like demonic beasts covered in electric currents and poisonous starfish-like demonic beasts came at us one after the, but they didn’t pose a threat to us.

 

 

 

“Ooh, a huge one came out this time”

 

 

 

 What stood before us, were the famous giant octopus monsters.

 

 

 

“They are the Kraken!”

 

 

 

 There were five of them and they were twenty to thirty meters long.

 

 

 

“Tentacle play apeareeeeeeed!?”

 

“It didn’t!”

 

“You’re right, tentacles of that size won’t fit in there, huh……”

 

“Fit in where!?”
