Gurei's POV

The demon world is a collection of all kinds of manner of creatures but basically, there are two main types of demons. These are the pure demons and the demon-kin. Pure demons are demons of pure demonic origin while demon-kin are.. well they are demons that come about due to the chaotic nature of dark magic. To find a complete pure demon in this day and age is very hard even close to impossible. Most of the people in the demon realm are demon-kin.

Dark magic is so chaotic in nature that it is hard for a subspecies to be identified. New subspecies are discovered in every new generation. For example, one can be born from parents who didn't have the charming ability but still ends up having it.

There are few subspecies that have withstood the test of time. These subspecies are considered to be the most versatile and volatile of them all. Their basic abilities that come with their subspecies are still there but they evolve to other things and this has made them the most powerful users of dark magic.

The demon world is in decline. Due to this the current demon king has declared that the search for more hospitable land is appropriate therefore invasion of a land northeast of the demon realm is the cause of action will be taking. I understand that we are in need of new land since our lands don't produce that much but attacking another nation is a little bit...it's a little bit savage

The demon realm is covered by pockets of invisible domes. Inside these domes is where the demon population reside. These domes are there so as to protect the demon Populus from constant attack from monsters since the demon realm is plagued with them. The origin of the domes is unknown but people believe that they were set up by the founder. While the domes provide protection they have a sort of side effect with them in that it is very hard for plants and animals to survive within them. Due to this reason, food must be harvested outside the domes and this means demons must suffer constant attacks from powerful monsters to sate their hunger. Seeing this is the case the current demon King decided that the best cause of action to save his people would be to find and occupy new land.

This task required a lot of manpower so he decided to conscript soldiers for the job. It all started five years ago. The demon king and I have known each other for the longest time. I knew him since when I was twelve. This was before he ascended to the throne. He was generally a loving guy and took me in when my people, the dark elves rejected me. I have grown up with him and know him to always put other people's needs before his but five years ago all that changed. He started acting in a peculiar way. It was like he had become a totally different person. He spoke of wars with other nations and this scared me. I trusted that it was in the best interest of the nation so I went with it. Since then he has established quite a powerful army. This is ranging from generals to foot soldiers.

There are five generals in the army. These generals include a witch by the name Victoria or Vicky, a succubus by the name of Venus and an archanian by the name of Norn, a werewolf by the name of Derick and a dark elf by the name Gurei but people have decided to call me Grey. After the 5 generals, there are 8 lieutenant generals, 16 colonels, 40 lieutenant colonels, 350 captains, 1000 lieutenant, 3000 staff sergeants and 7000 sergeants and about 138,000 footsoldiers plus about 5000 intelligent monsters and a number of elite soldiers that are not included in the main army. In total, we have an army of about 150000 soldiers.

Although we have an army of 150,000, all of the attacks we have done so far have incorporated monsters both from the demon world and some from the forest of monsters. Our main target of the attacks is a human kingdom by the name of Bermone. The Demon king insisted on Bermone kingdom to be attacked first, I am still not sure why. We incorporated monsters so as to spare the lives of demon soldiers used and to provide cover for the reconnaissance missions we have been doing.

My team of elites and I recently attacked a border stronghold with a few a thousand monsters twice. The first time we did it a group of adventures decimated the numbers of the monsters. Two of them were very notable, I believe both had hair with a crimson shade. I myself did not get to see them but I was told that they were the most powerful of the adventurers, so for my next attack on the village I went with the elite group but this time the attack was timed in such a way that it was done when the powerful women were not around.

This second attack was to observe if there were any other notable people to look out for when we raid the border stronghold with the purpose of seizing it. There were fairly notable people but they were not as powerful as the others. The most notable was a knight. I assume he was a knight because of the way he moves. There were others like two mages who were also doing pretty well. One of the mages broke off and went to help the knight when she noticed the monsters were ganging up on him. The other one even after being left all alone was still decimating the monsters that dared attack her. She performed magic in a way I had never seen before, I got interested and got close to observe her. Out of nowhere, a wave of destructive energy rushed passed me. Immediately after this, there was a stampede of out of control monsters heading our way. These monsters were not under the control of the device I had been given by the demon-king for controlling of monsters in the vicinity. When I tried to control the monsters nothing happened.

I saw the monsters would surely kill the woman before I learned her secret so I decided to save her. When I got to see her up close, I could not believe what I saw. She was very beautiful. She had smooth skin with a quite tanned complexion. Her dark purple coloured hair with a tint of silver at the ends matched her ash-grey eyes. Her curvy slim body was also quite seductive. I decided to steal her away and use her to learn the secrets of her people and her magic.

When I returned to the demon realm I was met with quite a greeting. Everybody could not condone my failures. Today we the generals are to meet with the demon-king.

"Good evening everyone. Hope you have not waited long for me."

"Not at all, your grace. We are here to serve."

"Yes as he said."

"So how is the plan of seizing the Bermone Kingdom fairing."

"Well, Everything is going well apart from Grey's Part."

"It is not like he failed the mission vic..."

"But he did lose a lot of monsters and waste a lot of resources Norn ."

"On top of that, he come back with a human woman. He should have just killed her the way I killed those adventures I met with my curse magic."

"Not everybody is as cold-blooded as you Victoria."

"Please everybody let me speak."

"Let you speak! After disgracing us you still want us to let you speak?"

"Quiet Victoria. Let Him speak."

"As you wish your Kingliness."

"Thank you, your grace. As I was saying although I have used up quite the amount of resources, I did find out a lot of things."

"Ok, Go on."

"I found out that there are two extremely powerful women in the border stronghold. I believe they may not be purely human so you should take that into account."

"Did you just say two women? Are you serious?"

"Victoria, please. It is not so far fetched. You are a single woman but look at how powerful you are so let him finish."

"Thank you, Venus. As I was saying there are two extremely powerful women. Apart from these two women there is quite a powerful knight and two powerful mages well one since the other is down in our dungeon."

"Speaking of the women. Why did you bring her here?"

"I brought her so that we could possibly learn of any weakness that Bermone kingdom may have plus she casts magic in a very unique way. We may be able to gain her knowledge and better our magic in the process."

"Okay. So how do you propose we gain her knowledge Gurei?"

"You could let me torture her. I am quite an expert. She will be speaking in no time."

"Victoria, his grace asked Grey not you."

"I will like to have a few days with her. I am sure I will get her to talk in no time."

"Okay, General Grey. You are to undertake this mission and if you fail you will be the one to execute the women and will be demoted from your rank."

"Serves you right. Although I think you deserve a much heavier punishment if you fail."

"Thank you your grace." 

"Gurei please leave the room. We have important things to discuss. As of now, you are on probation, we will discuss to see if you are still able to undertake major missions."

"Of course your Grace. Please excuse me."
