[This is ridiculous... Ugh...]

Belphegor, the demon king of greed, collapsed helplessly. Belphegor’s jade fire was literally swallowed up by the flames of Solar Phoenix, and he couldn’t even fight back. Belphegor’s body slowly turned black and disappeared, scattering into black ashes.

[Angry...]

He was like charcoal that had been burning for a long time and was useless. Finally, Belphegor disappeared completely, leaving behind a few pieces of bones, skin, horns, and a Pandora fragment filled with black demonic energy. Then loud shouts poured out from behind me.

“Wahhhh!”

"We won!”

“We defeated a demon king!”

“Hooray the Orca Kingdom!”

“Oz forever!”

The demon king subjugation army was enjoying an incredible victory. I couldn’t keep my eyes off the sky as I saw Solar Phoenix floating in the air, flapping its white wings. Simultaneously, the words of the former phoenix, Ignur, came to my mind.

‘They are using Pandora to control the dark magic of death. I will unite with Solar to awake the power of demon destruction, but then I...’

The new being, Solar Phoenix would be even stronger. The problem was that Ignur would become one with Solar and could no longer exist as Ignur. This meant—

“...Sleep comfortably, Ignur.”

It meant death.

Solar Phoenix cried out once again and the bird flapping its wings in the air became smaller like an eagle. A hot sun floated behind the smaller Solar Phoenix’s back and a shimmering aura emerged. It was like the system message I saw earlier. It had completely awakened as a sacred creature of the sun.

“Why are you looking at me like that, Master? Hehe ?”

...This manner of speaking hadn’t changed at all.

“...You’ve worked hard.”

“Of course I worked hard. Master didn’t suffer at all. Hehehe ?”

No, why did it feel more impolite? Only the appearance had changed. The inside was a complete adolescent.

At this moment, Park Muyeol walked up to me. “The puppy has become a bird.”

“Ah, really. It wasn’t a puppy originally.”

“Bah, a puppy is a puppy.” Park Muyeol laughed while behind him, Park Maksun had permed hair and walked over using a cane.

“Orabeoni, what is that chicken? It is strong. The cow bastard was completely beaten.”

“No, who is this old woman?”

“Who are you calling an old woman? We are all old.”

“What?”

“Do you want to be hit?”

Park Muyeol and Park Maksun growled as they made eye contact with each other. I didn’t know Park Maksun could stand up to Park Muyeol. Well, she was very strong even as a child. Right now, her eyes were still lively.

“Why are you acting like this when you’re so old.”

At my words, they ‘scoffed’ and turned their heads to the other side. I sighed and felt that I needed to set aside a time later for reconciliation.

“Huh? O-Over there!”

Someone stuttered and shouted and we all turned to the direction they were pointing at. Clouds of sand were descending. The people who got off from there were really unthinkable. No, they were constellations.

[What, is it over? Nyang?]

[Um, seeing that I don’t smell demonic energy, I guess these humans actually did it.]

[Ah, you’re a dog race, so you notice demonic energy through smell? In any case, it is a dog nose.]

[Thank you for the praise, Raitra.]

[...It wasn’t praise.]

Why were they here?

* * *

At the Vulcan volcanic zone, the barracks of the subjugation army’s camp...

Some time passed. We had organized the battlefield and gathered in the barracks. I was sitting here along with Damian, Park Maksun, Park Muyeol, Edward, and Kerenos. There were also Michael and Zhen Sulong who came with the six constellations.

Outside the barracks, there was a festival due to the defeat of the demon king, but it was very quiet over here in this place. It was because we kept hearing bad news.

“...James was caught?”

Damian frowned deeply after hearing everything from Michael and Desperado. Sure enough, the Zeus Guild was also secretly moving to obtain the Star Fruit. Yet James somehow went to the North Pole. Tsk tsk.He got caught by that weird guy.

[First of all, we came here because there was an order from the great Jupiter and the king of the stars, Lupeon. Our Seven Chivalrous Stars are now going to take on the demon kings who are scattering and dyeing the human world with death. You can call us the advance team.]

A woman in the form of a cat finished speaking.

Damian asked again. “What happened to the other constellations?”

[Good question. Currently, the low-grade constellations or those with weak combat power are preparing for a full-fledged war with the demons in the Star Flow System. It will be as fierce as the battles in the human world.]

The one who answered was a cowboy skeleton. It was the pistol constellation, Desperado. At his words, everyone showed a strange expression. Everyone had a lot of thoughts about the sudden turnaround.

[There is no need to think deeply about it. Nyan~ we just came to help. Nyang~]

“Do you mean you came to help kill the demon kings?”

The cat nodded at Damian’s question.

[That’s right. That is why I came. Nyang.]

I saw a cat who kept smiling and talking. At first glance, the cat was a female. It was the cat constellation, ‘Cat Baker.’ The nickname was Demon Who Played the Heavens. I remembered seeing her Star Pierce in Fortren previously.

[Fortunately, the demon king here was handled well. Things are different elsewhere. I heard that my home, the East Continent is currently infected with a disease. The reason why I came here was to ask for reinforcements to go to the East Continent with me.]

This was a dog with a strong, stiff tone who was full of righteousness. I could recognize him with one glance. It was the constellation I had tried to connect with Mido.

...Sword Sage Inumusiki. At first glance, it sounded like a curse, but this was actually his name. He practiced while cutting cherry blossoms in the East Continent and finally entered the realm of a Sword Sage. A being who rose to the position of constellation with just his sword. The important thing was that he was a dog, not a human being.

[I want to go there and save my home. Who will come with me?]

Inumusiki raised his fist and Saintess Camille came forward from beside him.

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is shooting hearts from his eyes.]

[The third apostle, ‘Atlas,’ is giggling.]

Camille saw the message and looked up at the sky. Why was this jerk showing affection here? Young ones these days...

I shook my head and clicked my tongue.

[...Cough. I have already decided to go to the East Continent with Inumusiki. It is a disease which is my area of expertise.]

[Thank you again, Camille.]

[What for? It isn’t a big deal.]

Camille had already decided to join Inumusiki. All that was left was Cat Baker, Desperado, and Raitra. There was also a white giant standing quietly with folded arms. It was the shield constellation, ‘Tiarudo.’

[Tiarudo, what about you, nyang?]

[...I don’t know.]

[Desperado and Raitra have decided to stay here. I can feel the energy of two demon kings here.]

[...I don’t know.]

[What do you know, nyang?]

[...I don’t know.]

Cat Baker sighed softly. I also sighed with frustration when I heard it. I didn’t expect the person nicknamed the ‘Ice Tag Fairy’ to be so awkward. In fact, he was the constellation who boasted the best defense among the ice-type.Cat Baker was the best supporter, Camille was the best healer, Raitra was the best fighter, and Desperado had the best long-ranged attack. Meanwhile, Inumusiki was the Sword Sage and boasted the best swordsmanship.

The Seven Chivalrous Stars could be called the best constellations in each field. The traitor Regulus was the former captain of the Seven Chivalrous Stars. Then who was the current captain?

[Hey, I was a fool to expect anything. You will go with me to the Orca Kingdom. You have a good relationship with me, right? I am going there right now.]

[I understand.]

Tiarudo nodded at the words. Damian sensed something strange about Cat Baker’s words and frowned. “What does that mean?Did something happen in the Orca Kingdom?”

[Ah, you don’t know? It is said that the king there is being manipulated and he is controlling the immortal humans? He is being manipulated like a puppet now?]

“......!”

At the Orca Kingdom, Leonardo’s bedroom...

The sun had set, stars appeared, and the cold night breeze blew. Looking up at the full moon, someone’s laughter rang through the bedroom.

[Huhuhuhu. Ahh, it is really good. It has been a while since I’ve had such a beautiful puppet.]

Large goat horns, red skin, and the pointed tail separated into two. There was also a loud voice that showed the laughing person was very excited. He was the demon king called Satan.

“Aaaah! W-What is this?”

Meanwhile, in front of Satan...

Leonardo, the king of Orca, looked down at his blood-stained hand with a frightened face. In front of Leonardo were three corpses stabbed with a sword.

“Ahhhh!!”

Leonardo grabbed at his cold family with a stunned expression. However, his wife and two sons didn’t wake up. They were long dead. No matter how much he shook them or massaged them, they didn’t intend to rise. Satan laughed at Leonardo.

[Huhuhu. Leonardo, the puppet of my dreams, what kind of bizarre act did you do by killing your family?]

“Shut up! Who the hell are you?”

[Don’t you know me? Leonardo, I am the angel in your dreams.”

“A-Angel...”

Leonardo’s face was pale. He used to dream every night. It was a dream where an angel appeared and whispered something in his ears. He woke up from his dreams and felt strangely good. Leonardo was comforted by the angel who visited him every night and the angel made him realize that he was the chosen one. The angel mirrored the anger in him and made him a powerful king.

Thus, Leonardo removed Siriya and ordered the massacre of the immortal humans to settle the security of the uneasy kingdom. Some people said it was cruel, but every time this happened, the angel who appeared in his dreams praised him and reminded him that it was all for the Orca Kingdom. Yet the angel’s identity was a demon...?

“I-I will kill you!”

Leonardo’s sword was easily blocked by Satan. Satan laughed in the darkness as he held the sword. Then he inserted strength into his hands and shattered Leonardo’s sword. Satan laughed again. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

[It is funny that a puppet is challenging his master.] fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

“Shut up!” Leonardo lost his temper. He threw away the broken sword and strangled Satan with both hands. However, Satan simply smiled with a calm expression. Finally, Satan’s hand pierced Leonardo’s chest.

“Oof!” Blood spurted from Leonardo’s mouth.

Satan took a deep breath like he was intoxicated by the smell of the blood. He stuck out his long tongue and licked the blood on his face.

[Ahhh, too good. Good. Huhuhu.Huhahaha—!]

At the same time, he pulled out the hand that was piercing Leonardo’s body.

“N...o...” Leonardo collapsed forward.

Satan finally realized that the time had come. In the meantime, he had been playing with Leonardo like a puppet and preparing large-scale magic, which took a long time and couldn’t be used immediately. Moreover, the Orca Kingdom was very wide.

Satan spread open his wings and flew out the open window. There was a full moon as the backdrop as Satan stopped in the air and cast the large-scale mental magic. Sinister magic power flowed from his body.

[...I will lead you to the kingdom of heaven that I created.]

At the same time, sinister energy rose from the north and south of the Orca Kingdom. They were pre-installed magic circles that allowed Satan to use more powerful magic. There was a disturbance throughout the Orca Kingdom Kingdom and the emergency alert bells rang. The soldiers and knights were busy running around.

The sinister magic power from the magic circles started to give Satan endless magic. Satan flicked his fingers as the last part of the ritual.

Ttaak!

Just then, all the busily moving people of the Orca Kingdom stopped in their place with blank expressions like time had stopped. It was a large-scale mental magic that trapped everyone in a specific area into a dream. The ‘palace of dreams’ was finally completed.

[Huhuhu.Huhuhuhu.Huhahaha—!]

Under the full moon, the demon king let out a crazy laugh.
