If only you can fight and kill everything on your own, that would make all of this better.

As appealing the thought was, of being a one-man army simply shattering everything in my way, I didn’t happen to have that level of power.

Tricks and underhanded moves were simply going to have to do.

“Alright, that looks about right.” I looked over my latest trap, before looking ov...

Hell looked… less like shit than I expected.

“So, this is how things are if Hell hadn’t lost?” Azazel offered to meet with the Satans about a better deal for the current peace, which they took without much hesitation. I went along as his latest secretary. It felt a bit weird, but he had two Homunculi acting as his dates, so that helped make it feel a little less weird. ...

Averi, despite all the monsters and creatures that I met in this new life, seemed the best fit for fairytales. Unblemished skin, eyes like rubies, and pearly-white hair upon a form closer to a ballerina than a warrior. Clad only in underclothes, the Knight that fed upon Wyverns and was sent to quash rebellions, looked more like doll for a young heiress.

I stepped out and wasn’t shot at, so I took that as a good sign.

The Amar and the kids were quick to hunker behind the heavily-armed man.

Most stand-off situations between two superhumans ended poorly, so I took the initiative.

The damage to Ysltu as a result of the battle was more than I expected.

I’d wanted to go out on my horse to look through the place firsthand, but that wasn’t allowed, so I was looking out from one of the castle’s balconies with all the Witches on standby to bring up the barriers in an instant.

Yep, I can’t even leave the castle with armed guards, even during ...

Waiting is the most difficult part in any battle.

For people on the ground and ready to fight, they have to hurry up and wait for their next set of orders, which’ll come in either half-an-hour or two hours. I wasn’t jealous of that position, primarily because I’ve never been a part of it.

From the very start, I’ve had to deal with waiting around as someone in...

Magic.

Honestly, I disliked magic quite a bit.

Maybe, if I had some ultra-high-level-super cheat ability with magic, I’d think differently on the subject.

But I was stolen from my home via magic, received no cheat ability, and lived horribly for several years.

If someone put a button in front of me, that made all magic impossible, I’d press it without...

I didn’t recognize what sort of creature I looked upon. Much like one of the prisoners, the Knight of the Crown had long ears and sharp features. However, that was where the similarities ended. Her skin was alabaster and her eyes a deep, blood red, while her hair looked more like a flowing mane of white than the follicles I would expect of a human.

Kiba was a very difficult opponent.

Knight Pieces granted Devils with increased speed. Much like the chess piece, it was meant to be mobile and attack from the flanks, which translated into a warrior meant to tie down the enemy. Bishops were supposed to be long-range damage dealers, while Rooks were indomitable melee fighters, and Queens were a combination of the two.
