Even the Demon King is worrying about another world today.

"This is the eighth floor! The Demon's Lair! Everyone! Get down!"

After hearing the Fire Hero's words, we all instinctively dropped to the ground, while several gliding demons swept overhead. We were nearly killed by him.

Their claws struck.

"Strange...shouldn't it be the seventh floor?" The Earth Hero created a large shield to protect everyone.

The Fire Warrior, seeing the demons rushing towards him, drew his longsword.

"The seventh level is the <Reincarnation Secret Realm>. Because of its special existence, it's possible that it was blocked by magic cast by Mikayi."

In my perception, each level of Hell is unique. But the 'unique' that the Fire Hero speaks of must truly be unique.

“‘To support such a massive army as Hell, we’d need at least a manor,’ that’s what Mikael said. So, if I’m not mistaken, this seventh level is probably a place for storing military rations.”

"The Fire Hero explained."

I have to admire his intelligence; as a demon king, he's incredibly shrewd. He even managed to arrange something like this perfectly.

"Oh dear? These little mice have actually made it to the eighth floor?"

Just as everyone was focused on guarding against a demon's sneak attack, a woman's voice came from overhead.

159 Michael? Mikai?

"The lord of the Demon's Lair, the Succubus Akman." The Fire Warrior gripped his sword with both hands, even his eyes began to turn serious.

"Is it very strong?" I asked, tilting my head.

However, the name Akman does sound familiar; I feel like I've heard it somewhere before.

"She was the former Demon King. Although she didn't have the ability to rule the world like Mikayi, her strength was not to be underestimated."

Oh—!! If it's the former Demon King, then this person must have a significant connection with the angel race!

That great demon was undoubtedly the angel race's greatest enemy in the past.

I drew my longsword, and holy light instantly enveloped my entire body.

I am the strongest Seraph now, and my holy light can dispel darkness.

"Prepare to face the judgment of the angels, you demon!" I said viciously.

Once I retrieve the heads of the current Demon King and the former Demon King, my power of faith will undoubtedly reach its peak.

"You are just like drowning rats, struggling on the verge of death."

The succubus's figure was so alluring that I couldn't help but take another look.

Okay, let's admit it for now, this woman is a tiny bit more voluptuous than me.

The succubus's enormous bat wings were disproportionate to her body. She held a long whip in her hand, her eyes filled with excitement, and she made as if to swing it at us.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, the succubus froze.

At the same time, a voice came from even higher above.

"Michael."

The man's voice was deep and resonant; despite his calm tone, it commanded the attention of everyone present.

I looked around, not at the owner of the voice, but at the person called 'Michael'.

“Mikayi”.

Ok?

For the first time, I looked at the Fire Warrior behind me.

The person who responded was actually the Fire Hero? What's the connection between that name and him?

The Fire Warrior had short red hair that hung down the back of his head. He looked up at the high sky.

"I didn't expect you to come to the eighth floor in person," said the Fire Warrior.

Wait...? The name Mikayi? Isn't that the Demon King's name?

I followed the gaze of the Fire Warrior.

A black-haired man stood in mid-air, his black cloak fluttering in the wind.

The Demon King looked down at us, his gaze as if he were looking down at a group of ants. His scarlet eyes glowed red, and when we met his eyes, a feather involuntarily stood on end.

However... he doesn't seem to have any demonic characteristics at all.

It completely lacked the features described in human folklore, such as 'goat horns,' 'horse face,' and 'a large, fluffy tail.' It seems the image of the Demon King has been exaggerated and fabricated by humans.

He appeared to be just a black-haired boy with red eyes.

Although he is somewhat handsome.

"Hmph! Great Demon King! Today is your death anniversary!"

I pointed my sword at the Demon King. However, the Demon King didn't even look at me.

Hey! That's incredibly disrespectful!

Let's just say I'm still the leader of this group, even in this state!

As a demon lord, shouldn't you greet the leader of the extermination army first? Why did you call out that 'Michael' name first?

But speaking of which, who is Michael? Do we even have him in our party? And why do the first two syllables of this 'Michael' name sound exactly like the Demon King's?

“I never expected you to come here, Michael. You could have lived for hundreds more years on human soil.”

The Demon King's voice carried a faint smile, as if he were mocking us, or perhaps excited by our arrival.

“Mikai, evil should not prevail over justice. You should understand that.”

"The Fire Hero said calmly," he said. His words carried no weight; the Demon King had already gone this far, and it was impossible to get him to turn back.

Although it is said that "the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore," for this demon king, turning back is not the shore, but an even more vast sea of ​​suffering.

After all, we are going to destroy him today.

“You have the nerve to say that, Michael,” the Demon King said with a cold laugh.

Who is Michael?

There's no other way but to ask if you don't understand.

My question seemed somewhat awkward in this atmosphere.

I coughed lightly twice and said, "Do we have someone named like this...?"

"it's me."

The Fire Warrior looked at me and continued.

"You're so dense! I've been talking to him for several minutes already, and you still haven't realized it?"

"No, no...isn't your name 'Maysfield'?"

“Maysfield is my last name; my full name is Michael Maysfield.”

Seeing that I still looked puzzled, the Fire Hero said again, "Because it sounds similar to the Demon King's name, I dropped my name."

"That's quite a coincidence, the first two pronunciations are the same or something." I was still a bit confused, but I nodded slightly.

The Fire Warrior smiled and said, "It's not a coincidence. These are names that Mikayi and I chose together when we came to this continent at the same time."

"Well, you guys probably can't understand. When you play games with your best friends, a few of you agree to choose similar screen names. That's roughly the situation."

"So when I said my name was 'Michael,' he wanted to call me something like 'Mijayi,' even though the first two characters sound exactly the same, but his 'mǐ' is 'mi,' while mine is 'mi.'"

The Fire Hero continued, "Where we're from, the surname comes first, and children usually take their father's surname. He deliberately misplaced the characters to prevent me from making fun of him about father and son."

I nodded blankly.

What the hell is he talking about?

160 The Last War

"Sigh..." The Fire Hero probably saw my confusion and sighed in exasperation, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you. This is the writing system of our planet. Chinese characters are a profound and complex culture..."

"Oh, right, my name is also the name of an archangel in the Western Bible. Ah, that's what my online game username is."

What is this person saying...? Archangel, shouldn't it be me...? Has he lost his mind?

The Demon King remained unhurried, patiently waiting for us to finish our conversation. The countless demons had already ceased their actions, standing by in place.

But then again...

"I feel like I've heard the surname Maysfield before."

"Yes, that's my wife's surname. Her family is quite prestigious in the Garan Continent."

Um……?

What does "wife" refer to?

Wait a minute! This fire hero, could he be...?

Married young!

Pity!

Huh? What am I regretting? His marriage has nothing to do with me!

To my great surprise, the Fire Warrior spoke again.

"What's wrong? I'm taking my wife's surname, is that okay?"

I nodded blankly.

"However, in the end, my wife was still killed by this Demon King."

The Fire Hero had probably already let go of the matter, and there was no obvious sadness when he spoke of it.

"You guys are really something, best friends turned mortal enemies..." I couldn't help but say.

The Fire Hero shook his head, his face full of bitterness: "Well, although I killed Mika's little lover first before that."

His expression was complex, a mixture of regret and triumph. The Fire Hero looked at the Demon King above and slowly said:

“That… blonde… human princess…”
