…

"Yeah… My [Inspect] isn't working on you, so sorry about this," The empress apologized, and I just smiled gently.

Soon, all the royals and nobles had gathered with their statuses being displayed through where they sat.

The closest you were to the empress, the higher your status, and from what I could tell, the empress despised the people sitting before her.

Clearly, they wanted to take her position but couldn't as of now since she was way too powerful… though, they seemed to be scheming something.

The empress and I had already expected this, though, as I was now leading the security that was watching over the event.

The guards were pretty strong but nothing too special, so I knew I was about to be the backbone of this entire team.

"No disrespect as the empress appointed you as team leader, but who are you?" One of the guards walked up to me as we all gathered in the hallway outside of the large ceremony room.

"No disrespect taken… and my position, well, I can't tell you that. If I told you, would you be able to handle the consequences?" I asked the man with a wide smile, and as I stared deep into his eyes, he coughed before backing away.

"Apologies, madam," He said and quickly returned to his position.

Right now, we were guarding the only entrance into the room and making sure all the elves were to be escorted without harm. If but a scratch is laid on their body, we'll face intense repercussions… well, not me but the others.

I doubt the empress would punish me harshly, but I couldn't say the same for the others, and as I wasn't feeling like a dick today, I decided to try and put in my best effort.

I don't know who could possibly threaten my amazing girlfriend or the empress, but I'll still be on the watch for anything suspicious.

"All of you will report to me if there is anything suspicious. Always move in groups of three if something does go down, and finally, make sure that none of the elves are harmed. Priority goes from the empress to royals, to elves, to nobles. Got that?"

"Yes, ma'am!" They all shouted, and we got into position, which was along the hallway where the elves were beginning to come down.

Everybody was absolutely beautiful, but nothing had been slathered on their body in order to make their flesh taste as nice as possible.

Then, at the very end of about forty or so elves, the most beautiful elf I had ever seen gracefully walked down the hallway in a large frilly white dress.

Her small tiara that laid gently on her head just exaggerated everything further… so it was obvious that she was the meal for Ysal.

"Hmmmmm… Ma'am, please stop for a moment," I suddenly stepped in front of the prized elf before me.

"What is a lowly guard doing before me?" She suddenly announced in an arrogant tone that was the complete opposite of her gentle appearance.

"You have been marked," I replied with a fake smile as this elf was already getting on my nerves.

I then went to go touch her neck, where I found a purple mark hidden under a layer of illusion magic, but the elf quickly swatted my hand away.

My smile distorted slightly as this could've been important information, but her fucking beauty was more important than her life… supposedly.

"Ma'am, I repeat. You have been marked by a demonic insignia," I replied, and the guards around me suddenly tensed up as they hadn't noticed it all.

"Who is this woman? What are you other guards doing? Take her away!" The elf said, but nobody followed her orders as they were all fearful of me as I released my own frightful pressure that caused her to sweat.

"I am the person in charge of your safety, so let me just remove this thing, and you can be on your merry way," I said with a cold expression.

She… is definitely aware of this mark but is it because she doesn't want her position to get taken, or is she part of a plan to kill all the nobles and royals? Hmmmm…

"F-Fine," She muttered and turned her head the opposite way, revealing the mark on her neck… so I quickly bound her.

This was confirmation that she definitely knew that she was marked.

"Team leader! What are you doing?!" One of the guards shouted, but I ignored his question and just shouted an order back.

"ESCORT THE EMPRESS AWAY!" I shouted, but it seemed I was too late as a loud explosion came from inside the room.

Half of the guards escorted the elves away while the others followed me into the room, only to be met by a frightening sight.

Half of a demon was crawling out of the ground, and its spiraling goat-like horns were cracking the ceiling above, threatening to kill the panicking nobles.

The royals, on the other hand, were chasing after the empress, who was just barely managing to stay alive as she had an overpowered skill that transferred any damage to her surroundings.

It's kind of like a deflection, but you can get hit directly, and it still goes in another direction… pretty overpowered, if I must say so myself.

"Alright… EVERYBODY ESCORT THE NOBLES OUT! TWO OF THE STRONGEST GUARDS ARE COMING WITH ME! SUPPORT THE EMPRESS WHILE I KILL THE DEMON!" I announced, and all of a sudden, a blast of red flames erupted from my hand.

As the demon hadn't fully gained its power, I was able to easily burn it to death, but the royals were a different story as they had turned into a new species.

[Fallen Sun Drake]

[This species has fallen from grace and lost its nobility after selling parts of its soul to any type of demon. With its ability to control demonic sunlight, it is the perfect counter to any sun-related monster. They are an existence meant to completely counter the sun drakes. The conditions to create this species are very specific, and if the demon host dies, then the contractors will be severely damaged.]

I guess this demon still isn't dead yet, which is why these guys haven't taken any damage yet.

BAM

All of a sudden, the empress was sent flying across the room, and her impact was the straw that broke the camel's back as the ceiling was now toppling down.

"Tch… These damn nobles still haven't been evacuated yet?" I clicked my tongue, then stomped on the ground, causing pillars of white fire to erupt from the ground.

This not only held up the crumbling roof, but it also began to damage the fallen sun drakes that were now chasing after me.

But, I was confident that I could beat them as…

FWOOSH

"HAHAHAHAHA! TAKE THAT PEASANT! THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR OPPOSING US!" One of the royals shouted, and I just swiped my hand as the illusion on my body was burnt to a crisp, and the smoke from my white flames clouded everybody's vision.

"You do nothing against other races," I muttered as this race was meant to specifically counter sun drakes, nothing else.

I pulled out my katana and finished the job within only a few seconds… or so I thought as the demon suddenly appeared right beside me and it had grabbed onto my leg.

The empress tried to save me by creating a whip of golden light and then wrapping it around my arm, but the demon's grip was too strong as it pulled me into a dark abyss.

"*sigh*... Thanks," I muttered with a smile as I then slipped into the shadows and resurfaced above it, where I found Ysal tearing apart these fallen drakes.

Apparently, she thought I had died, and just as she was about to release an ear-piercing roar, I gently placed my hand on her large scaly thigh.

"Hey, I won't die that easily," I muttered, and Ysal looked a bit shocked as she turned towards me.

Well, a little bit would be an understatement as she quickly turned into her humanoid form and dove into my stomach.

"I-I thought you died," She muttered while crying into my shoulder.

"Don't ruin our moment," I muttered as I stabbed my katana into the lurking fallen drake behind her and killed him instantly.
