Suddenly, an overwhelming army of demons began to sweep across the continent of Astria, devastating human nations in an instant.

The scale and organization of the demonic forces were unlike anything recorded in the continent's history. They moved in formation and launched coordinated attacks. Skilled in stealth, the demons first assaulted the royal palaces of each nation, exterminating high-ranking nobles and royal families.

With their central figures gone, the human nations did not last long. The strongest empire was the first to fall, followed by the gradual collapse of the kingdoms, one by one.

The Holy State in the heart of the continent, holding the main seat of the Supreme Church and unified under the Pope, managed to endure for a considerable time. However, it too eventually fell. The decline in divine power, which had weakened steadily since the godlike beings' war five centuries ago, greatly impacted this outcome. Fortunately, only the remote churches led by high priests and the main temple perched on high cliffs remained safe.

When the Holy State was destroyed, a colossal being descended from the sky.

An angel with black wings.

Humankind who witnessed it called him the "Demon King."

It seemed that the Demon King, who had descended into the mortal world, had meticulously planned humanity's downfall for centuries, only now choosing to strike.

The assassinations of royal family members and the initial assault on the strongest empire.

The demonic beings that had previously appeared on the continent were strong but never invaded with such organized strategy or long-term planning.@@novelbin@@

However, the Demon King with black wings knew this world intimately.

Was that "Demon King" truly a being from the demon realm?

"Descent of the Demon King...!"

Chris, who had only read about these events, could not easily imagine the sight.

But—

"An angel with black wings."

She had seen something similar in the records before.

The ancient temple of Verbeia, where she had witnessed a golem.
