The Dark Rebirth of Pandora: Revenge of the Abyss

Chapter 414: Unusual Request from the Girl About to Be Kidnapped

”...Hmm...this is starting to feel monotonous, the fun is over Violet,” I say, looking at the giant pile of corpses in front of me and the ground covered in blood everywhere.

It turns out I have almost fully recovered now, although the mana reserves of my tail and abyssal halo are empty, I already have 100% of my mana back.

It means I am 100% recovered, and since I have all my power back, the world seems made of glass, soldiers die just by being near me and me releasing my mana, which has made everything boring.

”Violet, do you know how many we killed?” I ask, seeing the damage the enemies and my troops have taken.

”1 million and 200 thousand people,” she says a nice number that pleases me, and even surprises me, since I did this in just 6 hours without using much magic, just weapon attacks.

ʼI see...more than 1 million...I hope youʼll like this gift, Lilith,ʼ I give a happy smile knowing this, 1 million deaths to honor Lilith as I had thought before.

”And the damage we took?” I ask, interested.

”300 thousand dead on our side, that should be around 20% to 35% losses more or less, it seems having a demon king makes a disproportionate difference, huh?” She says ironically as I drop the sword in my hand.

”Yes...I am extremely unbalanced, after all, Iʼm level 100,000 hahaha,” I say proudly of what Iʼve accomplished.

”Anyway, now only the main kingdom remains, of course there are the surrounding kingdoms, but when the main kingdom falls, there will be nothing left for those around it.” A small portion of the army retreated, but it doesnʼt matter, because no one is getting out alive.

”Pandora, what are you going to do now?” Violet asks, interested.

”...Well, my army will soon start marching...but...honestly, is this really necessary? I have all my power back, I can single-handedly completely decimate that place...besides, there are 3 people I want to kidnap,” I say thoughtfully.

”3?” Violet asks, confused.

”Yes, the first is Evangeline...the second is Ren, the last hero who is in the church, and Beta, my sisterʼs servant.” Evangeline is my aunt who reincarnated as a human, my motherʼs sister, and I must recover her alive and intact.

Iʼm sure my mother will be delighted to have her sister back, even though she is now a human without memories.

Ren must be captured to be tortured and have potions extracted from her without pause, and Beta...well, she is my sisterʼs and I must save her...even though Iʼve already tortured her once.

”Great, then how about we just kidnap her alone and decimate the kingdom on our own?” She gives a great idea, exactly what I wanted.

”Yes, anyway, I can alone destroy everything even without using a mass destruction spell.” They no longer have a saint, which means no one can create a strong barrier or apply good enough buff effects.

Plus, thereʼs no one dangerous left to face me there, plus the fact that they are isolated from any help, probably the only ones who can still pose a threat to me are the dragons and the humans donʼt have their help at the moment.

I use the shadows to teleport to Elena, Iʼll leave the army command with her while I advance alone to the human kingdom.

As soon as I emerge from the shadows, Elena and the others bow to me now that the war has paused due to our overwhelming victory in this battle.

”Elena, why this?” I ask curiously.

”Pandora, you just decimated an army alone, the respect is natural, our soldiers will also handle their part very well and we managed a higher survival margin than expected,” Elena says happily.

”I see, well this is great, Iʼd like to say that Iʼll leave the command with you, I need you to lead the troops to surround the kingdom and loot everything.” While the army marches, Iʼll already have reached the kingdom, killed almost everyone, and gotten the people I have to get.

”Understood, Pandora! Do you need anything else before I go ahead?” She asks with confidence that I wonʼt have any problems.

”I donʼt think so, if anything Iʼll just teleport through the shadows to you,” I say thoughtfully, I think I need to raise a barrier to prevent escapes, after all I want to decimate at least 90% of all life in that kingdom.

”Well, Iʼm going, Iʼll see you at the kingdom,” I say, entering the shadows aiming to go to Veritusʼ mansion.

ʼI also have to take those two brats...Amiyaʼs servants.ʼ Those two white dragon girls can still be minimally useful in the future.

”...” I appear in the mansion and notice that it is empty, I donʼt feel anyone in the mansion other than Veritus himself.

”Hmmm, it seems he took everyone out of the mansion...” Obviously, everyone in the kingdom must be able to feel that Iʼm nearby, but I donʼt care as I calmly walk out of the mansion.

I use my mana to form a barrier outside the kingdomʼs barrier, thus forming a solid and resistant wall to prevent anyone from fleeing from here.

”How I love being able to use mana this way,” I murmur with pleasure.

”Come out, kill all the normal humans you find,” I say to the shadows, and immediately, various wolves and sharks emerge from all the shadows around.

I really like the sharks and wolves, they are the shadows I use the most because the wolves are good at tracking and the sharks can swim underground and deliver great surprise attacks.

”Who should I go after first?” I think carefully and decide to go after Evangeline first, since Ren and Beta are in the same place and it will be easier to look for the two.

ʼThat reminds me...whatʼs in the royal familyʼs vault?ʼ I wonder as I generate dark wings and start flying quickly to the castle, cutting through the sky.

I quickly cross a window of the castle, stopping in front of a maid who looks at me with pure terror.

”Hey, would you know where exactly the royal familyʼs vault is?” I ask her as a joke with a smile.

”...” She just collapses to the ground, so I blow up her head with my tail for being too slow.

”Well, I guess it makes more sense to ask Evangeline directly,” I start wandering through the castle, looking for Evangeline, while various giant spiders made of shadows come out and start walking on the ceiling, hunting whatever moves.

After wandering for a while, I end up seeing a place that brings me an unpleasant nostalgia, the room with the hero summoning circle. Before going after Evangeline, I stop in this room, looking at the magic.

”...Complex...more complex than any magic Iʼve ever seen or used,” I murmur, seeing this awkward thing, if a magic circle is a tangled mess of threads that I would have to organize to understand, this thing on the floor is an ocean of tangled threads.

ʼHow the hell did they mess up the order of magic like this? It looks like chaos magic...chaos magic?ʼ I look at the hero summoning circle from a new perspective.

”Chaos magic...thatʼs messed up, isnʼt it? This...” Itʼs very similar to the chaos magic Iʼve used before, though this is more complex and larger.

”How the hell did they do this?!” Iʼm shocked, no one should be able to use chaos magic freely, to begin with, the use of chaos magic is ridiculously restricted, and I doubt Elysia, who is the goddess of humans, knows how to use chaos magic.

ʼWho created this?ʼ I try to punch the magic circle, but my hand is repelled, I also try to use mana to explode it, but it doesnʼt even scratch the magic circle, I also try to use Violetʼs cutting ability, but that fails too.

ʼWell, I figured I wouldnʼt be able to break it...but still...ʼ

”...You wonʼt be able to break it, Demon King,” I hear a voice and look back, seeing precisely who I was looking for, Evangeline.

”Oh? And why do you think that? Iʼm pretty strong,” I say with an ironic smile, Evangeline doesnʼt seem afraid of me.

”...”

”It doesnʼt depend on strength to break this, if it did, the strongest demon king in history would have broken it,” she makes a realistic point.

”...Why is a hero summoning magic made of chaos magic?” I ask curiously as I walk up to her.

”Hmm, what did you come here for? If you answer, I can answer you too,” she speaks with confidence.

”I came to kidnap you, after all, itʼs not common in childrenʼs stories for the demon king to kidnap the princess? Although in this case there would be no hero to save this princess from me,” I say arrogantly.

”Good answer, and youʼre right, itʼs one of the royal familyʼs secrets that this thing is made of chaos magic, after all, if the commoners knew about it, it could raise doubts about the kingdomʼs integrity...although a large part of our records about it have been destroyed.”

”We only know that itʼs over 1 million years old, and that it was made together, apparently with some degree of help from a demon king of that distant past, but so many generations have passed and new ones have arisen that no one knows the truth anymore,” she speaks with certainty.

ʼ...Grimm must know since she was alive back then...but I doubt sheʼll tell me if I ask.ʼ

”Curious, why would a demon king help humans create something that is now only bad for demons?” I ask, standing in front of her.

”I donʼt know, anyway, you canʼt break this, so donʼt waste your time...” She still seems not to have realized who I am, which is funny, so I suppress my aura as much as possible, trying to maintain the ”human” appearance as the only visible thing.

”...H-Huh?” She finally seems to realize, though in a confused way.

”...P-Pandora?...no...you...Grand Duchess Pandora?” She speaks in shock as I release my aura again.

”Uh-huh, itʼs me, are you disappointed that the girl you showed devotion to is your enemy?” I speak, but she gives a little smile and I see joy in her gaze replacing the previous seriousness.

”No, I donʼt care, Iʼve always found you bizarre and fascinating, knowing youʼre the demon king is cool, though I feel stupid for only noticing now...what kind of trick did you use so I didnʼt realize?” She asks curiously.

”Iʼm not going to explain, anyway, now that you know Iʼm Grand Duchess Pandora, how about opening the royal treasury vault for me?” I propose, and she smiles mischievously.

”Hahahaha Iʼve always wanted to open that place, youʼre going to kill my whole family, arenʼt you? Not that I care, but I want your panties youʼre wearing now as a reward for opening the vault for you,” she doesnʼt hold back the request.

”And itʼs not just any panties or anything like that, I want the ones youʼre wearing now, the ones with any fluids and scents they still have! No magic to clean them or anything! Just the pure panties! And Iʼm the only one who can open the vault for you by meeting the conditions of having pure royal blood and not being coerced to open the vault.”

”...Youʼre...forget it,” I say as I put my hand on the hem of my dress, lifting it and soon start to pull down my panties, I was about to call her disgusting until I remembered I steal Zephyraʼs panties too..

”Oh, it has your scent,” she practically snatches the panties from my hand.

”HmmmMmmmm,” she buries the panties in her face and breathes deeply, moaning like a slut.

”...Oh my god, this is so good...Iʼve always wanted one of your used panties, but itʼs so hard to get one, especially one this fresh, this is definitely going in my collection...follow me, Iʼll take you to the vault,” she handles everything much better than I expected.

”Why did you come here, Evangeline? You didnʼt know I was the Grand Duchess, I could have killed you,” I ask curiously about her calm.

”Ah yes, I was coming so you could kill me...if I was going to die anyway, I preferred it to be quick, but I got lucky, who would have thought the demon king is the Grand Duchess, huh? Hahaha, fate is funny,” she says without stopping sniffing my underwear as if itʼs something precious.

”Youʼre quite cooperative...donʼt you care about the humans?” I ask, hoping sheʼll say no.

”No, itʼs strange...Iʼve always felt out of place among the humans, Iʼm a strange girl, I guess, Iʼve never fit in with human ideas, ideologies, or culture, why is that, I wonder?” She speaks, not knowing she is the reincarnated goddess of demons.

ʼDamn, my aunt is a complete pervert, it seems it runs in the family to be all perverted.ʼ Me, my mother, my aunt, and probably my older sister, considering what Beta said.
