Chapter 40. Ju-u-ust great...

  Let's say that overall meeting with the demon lord was OK, Millis was given to demons and I secured the Garden, through very complex diplomatic... well I just had to ask nicely. Yep, nicely...

  Anyway from the adventures throughout the demon continent two months passed, I met cute wyvern, killed it, got nice coat from it's hide. Killed some dude calling himself Demon God, though this time it was a deranged demon, not spirit. Met the Nekos on beast continent, and sang 'Nya-ha-ha and a barrel of fish' their own song with the motive 'Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum'. A lot of other minor stuff happened, but overall my vacation was rather fun. Now I am standing near the castle of... what was that again? Askonia, arkadia? Whatever kingdom it was, I stand here, proud and annoyed.

  “YOU FUCKERS!!! I JUST CAME HERE AND YOU TELL ME TO GET LOST?!”

  “Listen here peasant, you have no business in this castle. Get lost before-” I just snapped after it. The guard 1, who had a bad habit calling people 'peasant', got his face melted with quite strong poison. Oh right, in case someone wondering I got poison affinity few chapters before-

  (Script Pyro...)

  Fine, few months prior. Anyway, I started the massacre of those guards, when suddenly

  “What's going on here?” King emerged.

  “Hey gramps! Those idiots were disrespectful, so I punished them.”

  “Who are you? Why are you attacking this place? Guards!”

  “Ow, come on! Is that a way to greet the old pal? You summoned me and now try to get rid of me?” I put on my mask... over my mask. “You will perish.” Come on! I was what? Away for a few months? And now those idiots... “Come on! It's not like I killed those two trash-like beings? And where's the queen? I told that I will be back a bit later, no?”

  “Kuro?” Finally that asshole remembered! “Why are you here? No, wait, what are you doing?”

  “Oh, nothing much, I just came here to talk with other guys, I mean heroes. I have an info on demons, and rogue heroes.”

  “Wait, rogue... you mean Elizabeth? What about my-”

  “Ah, they're both dead, I guess at least. I doubt they survived my wrath if they were with zealots. Anyway that's not the reason, well part of it, but not the reason I came here.”

  “Right... You should come with us.” My senses tell me this is a trap... well, I'll just kill them all if something happens... nope, better make a clone... and BIANCA!

  You just talked to me, no?

  One more stunt like that, and I will place a petition to Kane, for new assistant!

  Yes, yes. Now Bianca, I need help. What the hell is wrong with this place?

  WHAT?! Wait, how do you know it? And What the hell?

  Right... reason?

  We? Who are we?

  She means me, her, Golm and other minions, except Mr Peanuts. He ran off somewhere.

  Oh, well he was with me. At least on one mission. Oh right, I should really make a body for Bianca. Other Me, you can create a clone for yourself, right?

  Yes. But I won't be a decoy.

  No, it's not what I meant... Anyway can you remotely control a clone that I'll make?

  Yes, though it will be lagging a bit.

  Lagging?

  Up to a nanosecond, but still.

  Oh, then it's OK. No really, nanosecond is rather a good response time. Oh and Bianca, is there anything to increase the power of my clones?

  How much?

  Last one is offensive! I never liked to... oh wait, I really liked that one at one time... Fine I will take them all.

  Can't you guess? It's time for being a dick I always was! Infiltration time! Featuring brand new clones! Other me, will you be so kind?

  No more than one at a time! Direct control of one is already-

  Quit whining! And yes, only one, what would happen to this world if there were a hundred of me? I don't really want to imagine it.

  You bet. Few more guys like you and it'll be frigging apocalypse.

  … WAIT!!!

  What?

  If it's my clones, then... THEY WILL DRINK ALL KULPO!!!

  You... that's the worst fear?

  YES!!!

  Yes, yes, me good boy... wait, I mean yes, we're going to wreck this place!

  What did you just wanted to say?

  Nah, it's nothing. Now... where should I hide?

  Hide in some dark corner, I bet everyone is blind here.

  ? Oh right, I have dark form. Let's go with that.

  Magical darkness will save the world! Or doom it, who cares about some lousy world anyway? And 'I' walked behind the king. Har-har...

  “Kuro, what is it?” and he addressed my clone.

  “Hm... where are Ken and others?” And king got nervous... THAT BASTARD! I will gut him if he did something to my favorite show!

  “They betrayed our kingdom.” Fuck... I think I will have to wrap it up faster. “They killed the queen and-”

  “Wait a minute gramps, what happened to queen?”

  “She was killed. They... they killed her.” I don't buy it. I somehow think that it's this moron who did it. “When she was-” and here is the sob story, and made rather OK for the 'despaired widow' or whatever males are called. Nah seriously, how did he get the idea heroes are behind it? Anyway with that story being told, we came upon the throne hall/room whatever it was called.

  “-and that's why I ask you this. Kill the betrayers!”

  “Nah, don't want to. It's politics, and I hate politics.” I sense mana... fluctations? Well there is something wrong with mana in this place... seems like... Array? “Hey, I have a question, is this some sort of trap?” and king looked at me rather... sternly?

  “What are you-”

  “So it's a trap. Care to explain?” and... my clone have gone poof!

  “GAH!!! Bastards! What did they do to my clone?!”

  “Well, that spells their fate. I will kill them all. Question is with what?”

  You said it out loud!

  Yes, I know. Oh right! I know what spell to use! Let them pray to their false gods for protection, but-

  You meant corpse-god?

  Whatever. I know just a spell in need of some testing.

  … Is that the spell I think about?

  Yep. Now let me prepare it. It'll have to charge for some time. Oh right,need to check for other heroes.

  And so, the greatest hero ever walking this world... Decided to spy on the women's part of hot springs. That would be in canon, but what I'm going to do is not 'heroic' in anyway you look at it. Destroying city, even if it reeks with corruption, traitors and crime, is not the work for hero. Good thing no one will live to tell the tale.

  Oh right, can we scan the place for other heroes?

  Already done, and no heroes in the vicinity, at least living ones.

  Then I can safely use it.

  Just shout and be done with it.

  Fine.

  “I will crush them with the power of Love and... MAGIC NUKE!!!” Following my shout to the heaven, or better say space, I threw my hands towards the city and from them the ray of light emerged, and as soon as it contacted the castle, white light engulfed the city. Next was really loud explosion. Mushroom cloud was also there, but quickly dissipated. “Yay! It worked! Magical wave-pulse nuke is working!”

  Seriously? I mean seriously? Why would you-

  Magical orbital laser sounds better?

  No, but-

  I created this spell, I decide it's name. End of discussion.

  Oh right, where was I? MWPN is working! And it obliterated the city! NICE!!! Though I wish there was something to fight me, before I obliterated that annoying place... “Damn! I forgot!”

  There was so much gold in treasury...

  Um... I stole it.

  Nice! And? Where it is?

  In our inventory.

  Oh, cool. Let it be there, OK? I don't really want to convert it.

  What? Something the matter?

  NO!!! My stats are gonna be nerfed! BASTARDS!!!

  Oh right, what's with other heroes?

  That's... strange. Seems like I have some sort of ignorance luck, while Ken has something to do with opposite gender... so what's next?

  Wait, what?

  And again with that white light? That's no fun at all!
