Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start
Chapter 741 The High-Ranking Demon Cultists

"Eustace, I'll be leaving Darkage Duchy to you until our return. Please take good care of Nicolas and Belle!" Monica said, as Eustace nodded.
"Very well, is it really fine for our troops to not go?" Asked Eustace. "I thought all of that training would be…"
"We changed the strategy on the last moment, use that strength to protect your home." I said. "We've got ourselves a good enough army."
Thanks to the Underworld Gates, which we can summon twice, I've decided to not risk the lives of these knights and simply use the summonable and disposable Undead as the rest of our army, they'll take their place anyways.
"Use the Ki and Skills my Spirits taught to you to your advantage. If another demon army comes, we won't be able to help you like before. I'm already leaving a third of my army here to protect the place, alongside a General on Arachne, with the buffs, she's as strong as a Vampire Spirit." I explained. "We'll be done within a week."
"You're really going to go to all three duchies…" Eustace sighed. "I don't know how we'll ever be able to pay for such a debt. Our entire Kingdom might be saved by just a group of students…"
"Well, the Appraisal Stone is a way of payment too." I laughed. "Monica, let's go."
"Alright." Monica jumped over Ruby alongside the rest of us.
The dragon's back was so huge everybody could sit over it comfortably. I retrieved the rest of the army inside of my Grimoire, and Cattalina covered the dragon with a Veil of Camouflage, so the demons won't us coming.
"See ya." I waved my hand, as Ruby roared, flying across the skies.
As I saw Eustace glancing at us while we flew higher and higher into the skies, I quickly set my sight into the farther lands, using the Hawk Eyes Skill.
"Silverlight… Oh? I can already see it." I smiled. "At our current speed, we'll get there in just an hour, be prepared. We'll immediately begin the battle once we arrive!"
It is time to continue our advance, we won't let any of the demons escape. For having taken away the hope of these people, I'll make them pay with their lives and souls.

Within the depths of an underground hideout in the middle of Silvertide's Capital, a large group of cultists gathered, surrounding a huge black desk.
"It seems that they have arrived here… The army of over ten thousand Demons… It was all destroyed."
"What?! Ten thousand demons…?! How come they were able to eliminate that?!"
"That Summoner kid again, was it?"
"According to what our reporters said, he had acquired some sort of bizarre, impossible power… He was able to multiply his summons."
"Multiply them?!"
"Indeed, they saw him bring a single summon and instantly multiply it by… a hundred."
"…"
"…"
"…"
The entire hall filled with cultists from low-rank to mid-rank, who were given the task of overseeing the Demon Expansion on this area of the Human Continent were left completely speechless.
"B-By a hundred you say?"
"Yes…"
"That's… preposterous."
"Just how much Mana does he possess to be able to summon so many beings?!"
"As he already achieved the level of power that Hero Allen, the first Summoner, possessed?"
"No, that's impossible, a year ago he wasn't this powerful!"
"He's growing incredibly fast despite having been cursed by Lord Lucifer, who gave him a curse that made him grow a hundred times slower…"
"T-This… What can we do?!"
As the cultists panicked, three figures hiding behind them, sitting in a separate table, and eating a luxurious-looking meal spoke, their red eyes glowing brightly.
"Silence, you're ruining my meal."
"Seriously, you guys are so pathetic."
"Are you really worrying about that wannabe summoner?"
Suddenly, three different voices echoed behind them, the cultists directed their eyes to these three mysterious people, high-ranking cultists who were in a completely different level than them.
"L-Lady Christine, Lord Sarauviel, and Lord Enmity…" One of the cultists that had brought the news spoke their names, their eyes glowed even brighter.
"Why are you so scared?" Sighed Christine. "There's a Demon Overlord here, and you got us too." The blonde woman smiled, her sharp fangs tearing apart a large piece of unknown meat.
"Hahaha! I guess we can't expect any other reaction from these guys. They're our weakest men that were so weak they wouldn't had lasted a day in the frontlines." Giggled Sarauviel. "Come on, cheer up a bit. We've been sent here in case something like that were to happen."
"We'll divide our numbers and go to the surrounding duchies, I bet they will try to regain those territories first." Said Enmity with a serious tone of voice. "Each one of us for each duchy should be fair. The Demon Overlord in here shouldn't be protected, he's a monster nobody can win against, and also a Vessel of an Archdemon, relax."
"Ahhh… If the High Rankers say so…"

"We were foolish, please forgive us…"
The cultists bowed their heads, as Christine smiled, her aura suddenly shapeshifting into countless of monstrous demonic jaws.
"Don't worry~ You're still tasty even if you're stupid." She smiled radiantly.
CRAAASH!
Her aura devoured the head of one of the cultists in a single second.
"E-Eh?"
The others panicked, confused about what was happening.
"L-Lady Christine?! Why are you…?! Why?!"
"Aren't we in the same side?!"
"W-Why?!"
"The Higher Ups told us to eliminate the weaklings that haven't brought results. Your troops lost against the kids, you're out." Said Sarauviel. "Christine, make it swift, and make sure to not splash blood everywhere!"
"Okay~" The blonde girl jumped out of her chair like a wild beast, her aura beginning to devour all the cultists gathered in the hall one after another. "Hmmm! So tasty! Humans corrupted by Demonic Energy are so goooood~!"
"N-No…! Please spare me…! I just joined because I resented society…! But why are you killing us?! I-I thought we were a team!" Cried the last cultist, running away from Christine.
"A team?" Christine laughed. "Nah, this is a hierarchy. We'll be taking over your demon army now, thank you and goodbye~"
An enormous demonic jaw emerged above the cultist…
"Gryyaaaaagghh…!"
CRUUUNCH!
