âNo, compared to the Ten Great Demon Lords of your era, the calibers of the current Octagram are a bit extraordinary.
Take Leon for example, even when heâs hiding his true strength he still has the battle prowess of a magic knight corps.
Even Mirim who was famous for having no subordinates has taken in Karion and Frey, two old demon lord class individuals as her subordinates.
Thereâs also the demon lord whoâs been gathering territory, and is now the ruler of the Great Jura Forest.
Then of course thereâs Guy whoâs the strongest, alongside Dagruel and Ruminas dubbed the largest faction alongside their own forces.

However, her confidence as a head shall become her downfall as Miranda confronted the man.

That man is Tatsuya Kondo.

If she got rid of Kondo now, escaping the capital would become easier.

In other words, she decided to kill Kondo.

ããè¿äºããã¤ã¤è¿å¯ããè¿è¤ã®è¸ã«ããªåãããããã©ã³ãã
Miranda approached him whilst replying, and snuggled into Kondoâs bosom.

She also used this spell on Calgurio several times while he embraced her, and soon she would be able to wrap them around her little finger without doing so.
