Galahad hearing all the events groaned, and the time that had passed in there just annoyed him. At this point he was wondering if he should seal Guy in a dimension for two hundred years too so that he could enjoy it as well. He was eating while thinking about the future, with the time that had passed with him in there the Tenma War would start up any moment now meaning Guy had royally fucked over all the time he had for lazing around, some may argue this was perfect for power gain since it would be an all you can eat on angel and demon blood but he was a lazy person god damn it! He wanted to laze around in those three hundred years! As for the younger Demon Lords, he decided he would just leave them to his maids since most of them were Demon Lords in name only and didn't have that much power when compared to actual ones.
He sighed and finished up his food, he smiled at the two maids, "Thank you." making Bleu gain a smug look since she cooked it while the look caused Vert's lips to twitch. He checked his teeth and sure as hell he had fangs, well he was technically half demon anyway. Galahad yawned and gazed at his ring, wondering how it would work. In the end he passed some magicules through it, "You guys....hear me?" he asked curiously but received no answer leaving him to wonder if he was doing something wrong.
After a few moments nervous laughter came out, "*awkward laugh* ...you're out?" a familiar very annoying voice asked. Galahad's lips twitched, "You.....think?" before his looked turned back into the usual lazy one and he rested his head on the table. What followed was even more awkward laughter, "*more awkward laughter*...I see congratulations?" Guy said unsure of what to say, who would have expected this guy to break out in 300 years, he was betting on at least 900! He looked at the wine on the floor and sighed he did a spit take when he heard Galahad's voice.
"Huahahaha! As expected of my friend, you're out already?" an obnoxious but cute voice asked from the ring, "Yes Milim...I'm out...." Galahad said listlessly looking to the side, why seal him in the first place?! "Umu! Congratulations!" she said excitedly, glad that he was out already, now she could ask him for a rematch. Galahad stared at the ring waiting for someone to say something but this time an unfamiliar voice came out, "Who might this be?" a haughty female voice asked. Galahad sighed, "I think...you introduce yourself first in these situations."
"I am the Vampire Queen, Luminous Valentine!" she replied with vigor and a bit of annoyance? she was sitting on her throne when this talk abruptly started so naturally she needed to maintain her stature. Galahad contemplated telling her to dial it down but he was too lazy for it! And Luminous acted haughty when representing her position anyway since he was aware of that, there was no need to boil over not that that would have happened anyway.
Galahad while communicating with them had stood up and started walking towards the Royal Palace, dragging himself through the streets he also took note of the city which had grown significantly larger, previously his mansion was near the wall now the wall was quite far off. He shrugged everything changes with time and three hundred years is quite a long time. He looked at the people walking about their days ignoring him and while he did gain some attention from the female population because of his looks which had 'levelled up' as he called it after the evolution, he couldn't care less about it.
He needed to reaffirm his contract with this Kingdom as well which only had less than two centuries left on it. Luminous curiously asked, "So you are the Calamity Lord Galahad?" Galahad scratched the back of his head, "I guess?" that title sounded like he was a chuuni overlord, "Very well, I would like to meet you." she said, she was very curious about the Demon Lord who had been missing. At this time Milim interjected, "Oh! Oh! We can have a Walpurgis! You can meet the new ones too! Though I don't like them much..." she said excitedly jumping around surprising the Dragon Faithful around her.
Galahad smiled slightly, "Yes..let's do that.... I need to have a talk with Guy too..." he said, by now he was near the Royal Palace. Guy chuckled nervously, "Oh yeah? I'll be looking forward to it, just don't rape me." he said his chuckled turning to full blown laughter. Galahad's lips twitched, "Fuck...you." he said lazily as he stood at the gates staring at the approaching guards. With that the connection was cut and the guards neared, one asked, "Who are you?! Why have you come here?" after all they couldn't just let everyone in.
The guard's gaze then fell on the two behind him and he bowed, "My ladies? What do you require?" every one knew of them what with the battle a few years ago. Vert pointed at Galahad, "Kneel to him, not his servant." she said, why kneel to them when their Master was right here? Kneel to him she says! The guard stared at her confused before it clicked, he slowly turned to Galahad who was lazily staring at him, sweating nervously and fearing for his life, "M-My L-Lord!" he said falling to his knees, the man in front of him was the Lord of Calamity Demon Lord Galahad of course he was afraid, the Demon Lords were quick to anger.
Galahad chuckled at him and patted his shoulder, "Don't be..so tense." he said lazily making the poor guard nod his head fiercely, to Galahad the reaction of this World's people to a Demon Lord was a bit exaggerated but then again they were effectively walking arsenals of nukes. Galahad walked past the kneeling soldier his long white hair swaying in the wind, it matched his extremely pale skin but since an announcement was made everyone cleared a way for him while staring at him in awe, he was this Kingdom's guardian after all.
Reaching the throne room Galahad curiously stared at the overweight man sitting on the throne, if he was right then this was the son of Curtis's grandson's son. Looking at his form Galahad clicked his tongue, corruption had already begun taking root here this was also one of the reasons he signed on for five hundred years rather than just becoming a permanent guardian. He looked at the current King, "I knew your great great Grandfather...he was a good man." Galahad said reciveing a nod in response. "Welcome Lord Galahad! I had heard tales of you but it is indeed an honor to meet you!" he said in a voice that showed he was happy, if this guy was back then their protection was even more solid.
"Congratulations on your return! I had heard you were sealed and believe me I am glad to see you back!" he continued as Galahad like he would usually do sat down on the floor with a yawn causing the King to laugh even more. "You are as I indeed as I heard!" he said drinking wine from a glass. Galahad nodded, "And you have... completely blown away all my expectations...no they can't even be considered." he said lazily while waving away the girl that was bringing him a drink, Curtis was a great man, what was this fata- *ehem* overweight person compared to that besides he because of his nature could practically see the corruption radiating off him though he was indeed intelligent there was no outward sign of it, because the man even if fat still looked elegant.
Galahad didn't stay there long and after affirming the terms of his deal once more and declining an invitation to a party to celebrate his return because he had a Walpurgis to attend he left the place, oh he also gave them permission to use announce his return since it was going to happen sooner or later and he wasn't one to hide. Galahad was now in his mansion sitting in an office staring at the two maids in front of him while leaning on the table like a mafia boss.
They in turn curiously stared at him waiting for a command since he had called them here. After much contemplation he decided to go with their original names since he was used to them anyway, "Vert, you shall be Misery." he said making the maid's eyes widen in surprise as she was covered by a cocoon. Before Bleu could say anything, "Bleu, you shall be Rain." he said as she underwent the same change as Vert while Galahad felt a small amount of his magicules disappear and a strange connection develop between him and the two, he had put this off for a long time and now was the best time to name them.
A few moments later the cocoons cleared and revealed the two who kneeled to their Master. While their appearances didn't change much and they were reeling back their auras, he could clearly see that they had evolved into Demon Peers, equivalents of mid-level awakened True Demon Lords. They both had grateful looks on their faces, "Thank you, Master." Vert now Misery said, earnestly thanking him for it. Bleu now Rain gratefully said, "Thanks Master!" with a bright smile on her face. They would use this newfound power to serve their Lord and completely devote themselves to him.
Galahad however wasn't responding so they looked in closely, noticing that he had fallen asleep with his head resting on his hands both of them smiled, their Master was the same as always. Rain walked away, "I wanted some headpats too...." her head a bit drooped. Misery smiled at her words, she wanted them too! She materialized a blanket and put it over him so that he wouldn't feel cold, well that was practically impossible in the first place but still...it's the thought that matters no?
.They would wake him up when it was time for the Walpurgis, it was time to declare that the Calamity Lord was back! Even though he didn't like that title much it had been stuck for more than two hundred years and he was too lazy to spend his time inforcing something else, at least it was better than Lord of Darkness, 'heh!'
Guy who was preparing a site for the Walpurgis sneezed, "I wonder if someone's talking about me." he asked himself sitting on a frozen throne. "What?" Velzard asked him curiously, he was very weird sometimes. Guy chuckled at her, "Guess who's back?" this Walpurgis would be very interesting for sure.
