Chapter 19

Unlike the thriving and magnificent capital of the underworld, the place Akira was in was an isolated area that was normally avoided by devils.

That's why hearing a noise so close by surprised him.

Since he now possessed True Longinus, he would not need to fear any devils, so he decided to take a look at what had caused the noise.

Walking with his hands behind his back, Akira spotted a few hundred meters away, what appeared to be a small town.

"How is that possible? I'm sure that when I passed that place, the town didn't exist."

At that moment, the city gate was open and a huge stream of people were crossing the gate.

There was something in common in these people crossing the gate, they all had anxious looks on their faces, as if something big was going to occur.

As Akira got closer to the city gates, he noticed that all these people looked young.

'Could this city actually be a brothel?!'

With these thoughts, he blended into the crowd, and entered the city that didn't seem to have any kind of surveillance at the gate to control who enters and leaves the city.

'Alright, this is not a brothel town...' Akira walked slowly through the city.

The streets teemed with the activity of pedestrians.

Some carried swords, magic books and even magic bows, some of the people wore cloaks with incantations, and some even walked in black armor.

While walking through the city, Akira arrived at what appeared to be a huge marketplace.

A bald man with muscles all over his body was negotiating with a sword vendor at the side of the street. He looked excited as he negotiated, as if he was about to make a good deal.

The lively scene in the marketplace surprised Akira.

"Actually, there are many devils with considerable strength in this city..." Akira muttered.

He also felt that some of the people in the market were not really devils.

'I wonder where this town came from?'

At that moment, a handsome man descended from the sky, his devil wings showing to the townspeople.

His landing on the ground brought a large amount of dust.

The sword that the bald man had just bought was instantly covered in dust. Even his bald head seemed to be covered in dust.

"Are you crazy?" He shouted angrily as he pointed at the handsome man.

The handsome man turned around and smiled disdainfully, "Huh? A low-class devil like you dares..."

But before he could finish his sentence, a huge palm suddenly appeared in the air. And with a bang, it crushed the man like a fly.

The man spat out a bit of blood, his chest had been crushed and his whole body was embedded in the ground.

"You really don't take my words seriously?" An angry voice sounded from the void.

The man on the ground had a bitter expression, "I'm sorry..."

The bald man who was previously full of dust approached with a sinister smile. He pulled the handsome man off the ground, and dragged him out of the city.

Blood dripped on the ground as he dragged the man.

The expression of the people nearby was one of pure indifference, as if they were already used to scenes like this.

"..."

Akira was speechless.

"So this is the reason why there is no guard at the gate.... There is judging by the strength of the being that attacked this devil, he is at least an Ultimate class devil."

Even in the human world power was the order, so it would be no different in the underworld.

At this moment, he heard the whispers of the people around.

"Rudiger, it really is ruthless!"

"If he's not ruthless, then it will be difficult to control all the young devils in the city."

"Rudiger Rosenkreutz, he is in the top 10 of the Rating Game, so it is normal to have this temperament."

"Unfortunately, he always maintains a neutral position, and never participates in the Heaven's Extermination Conference, otherwise we devils could have already taken over the world."

"It really is a shame..."

"Heaven's Extermination Conference?" Akira raised his eyebrows and understood.

All these young devils were gathered in this city that had suddenly appeared, for a meeting.

"That sounds interesting. I'd like to see how they intend to exterminate Heaven."

With a smile on his face, Akira went towards a store that sold some clothes and masks, after all, he was still a wanted one in the underworld, so it wouldn't do to make an appearance at this conference with his face on display.

Casually, he bought a 'weird' outfit that matched perfectly with the cat mask he received as a gift when he bought the outfit.

...

In the biggest restaurant in the unnamed city.

At this moment, the door was crowded with people.

The people who came were all dressed in luxurious clothes and armed with swords, magic books, and enchanted armor. All the people who entered seemed to belong to the devil's high class.

There was a special receptionist at the door, and the names of all the guests were shouted out by her.

"The leader of the Belphegor clan, Roygun Belphegor, has arrived!"

A beautiful young woman wearing a formal dress entered the restaurant with a gracious smile on her face.

Many young devils who were familiar with her came to greet her, and those who were not so familiar with her nodded their heads in greeting.

"The second son of the Amon clan, Iolava Amon, has arrived!"

"The heir to the clan..."

Everyone who entered smiled as they greeted those already inside the restaurant.

It was clearly a gathering of friends, or people who would like to get to know each other.

"The Heir of the Astaroth clan, Diodora Astaroth, has arrived!"

The restaurant suddenly quieted down, and all eyes were fixed on the door.

The heir of one of the leading families had arrived. Even Roygun watched Diodora enter the restaurant. She knew that among the clans that belonged to the 72 pillars, the Astaroth family was one of the strongest.

"I apologize to everyone for being late." Diodora bowed slightly, his eyes shining brightly as he walked through the door.

"Diodora, you finally showed up!"

"It's good to see you, Diodora."

Everyone surrounded him and greeted him warmly.

Diodora responded with a smile. His manners were gracious and gentle and he treated no one coldly.

"Diodora, please sit down."

The people soon led Diodora to the center seat.

...

The receptionist stared at a man wearing a cat head mask.

This mask... The man in front of her did not look like someone important.

"May I ask, what is your name and clan?"

Akira thought for a moment and approached the receptionist, whispering something in her ears.

After hearing this, the receptionist scratched her head and said, "Is there such a clan in the underworld? Why have I never heard of it? Besides your name..."

"So just because you haven't heard of it, does that mean it doesn't exist? You dare to despise my clan?"

"I don't dare, please don't take my words seriously." The receptionist quickly waved her hand in a sign of surrender.

She was just an ordinary devil. No matter which clan this man belonged to, he was not someone she could offend.

Moreover, although the man in front of her was wearing a mask with a cat's head, his figure was tall and handsome.

Akira shook his head and asked coldly, "So now can I come in?"

"All right!"

The receptionist didn't think for long and soon shouted.

"The leader of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Madara, has arrived!"
