  "I had a bit of a fight with some spirits, so I kind of... stole it," Tohru admitted sheepishly. "And this is minotaur meat and some exotic fruits!"

  Roy's lips twitched. It seemed Tohru had gone on a thieving spree.

  "Tohru, if you need ingredients, just ask me. I have a lot of food from other worlds," Roy said, retrieving some ingredients from his Ste magic.

  "What's this?" Kanna asked, pig up an egg.

  "Roy, what's this?" Tohru held up a rge drumstick-shaped pieeat.

  "That's Danger Beast meat. It's quite tasty," Roy replied.

  It was the meat of a bull-like Danger Beast he and Akame had hunted.

  "With these, I make an amazing lunch!" Tohru decred, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

  "Then go for it!" Roy cheered her on.

  Tohru started preparing the ingredients, and Elma, was also recruited to help.

  Soon, a delicious lunch was ready.

  "That aura... it must be Tohru's father," Fafnir said grimly.

  "Tohru, even your father 't take you away from me," Roy decred, taking her hand and squeezing it reassuringly.

  Tohru's ay subsided, repced by determination.

  "Okay!" she nodded.

  They flew into the sky.

  ....

  Soon, the Dragon Emperor of Demise found them.

  He was an old man with a stern expression and a long beard.

  His aura pressive, but it softened slightly as he noticed Lucoa.

  "Father!"

  "You know why I'm here, don't you?" the Dragon Emperor said coldly, not even aowledging that Tohru was still alive.

  In their world, it was widely believed that Tohru had been killed by a god.

  Even Elma had e here because of that news.

  Tohru lowered her head, remaining silent.

  "e back with me, Tohru. You don't belong here," her father anded.

  Tohru opened her mouth to speak but hesitated under her father's imposing presence.

  "Who says she doesn't belong here?" Roy stepped forward, shielding Tohru and fag her father.

  "Tohru is happy here. She won't go back with you."

  "A Devil?" The Dragon Emper Roy with disdain, then turo Lucoa.

  "Lucoa-sama, you won't interfere, will you?"

  "Me? Of course not," Lucoa replied with a smile.

  The Dragon Emperor then looked at Fafnir and Elma, ign Kanna a.

  "You won't stop me either, will you?" he asked.

  "Of course not," Fafnir and Elma replied.

  They had agreed to this beforehand, thanks to Roy's persuasion.

  "Father, I want to stay here. Please uand," Tohru finally spoke up.

  "I told you, you 't interfere in this world. e back with me," her father said coldly.

  Tohru, seemingly fed up with his harsh tone, retorted, "No!"

  "That's not your decision to make."

  The Dragon Emper Lucoa. "You uand, don't you? She 't stay in this world. We 't let her disrupt the order here."

  His voice softened slightly. Although he was strict with Tohru, he still cared for her.

  ...

  "I still want to stay here. Because... I've found my home here," Tohru decred, looking at Roy with a loving smile.

  "Tohru, that's enough. Let me hahis," Roy said gently, pulling her into his arms.

  He had seen her determination. It was time for him, as her husband, to step up.

  The Dragon Emperor, witnessing this se, gred at Roy with killing i.

  "Dragon Emperor of Demise... no, I should call you Father-in-w," Roy said with a smile. "Tohru is my wife now. She'll be staying here with me. She won't go back with you."

  "...." The Dragon Emperor's rage fred.

  Anyone would be angry if they suddenly learheir daughter was married.

  "I know I 't vince you with words. The's settle this with a fight," Roy decred.

  "If I win, you 't force Tohru to go back. If you win, Tohru will return with you, and I'll submit to your judgment."

  "Roy!" Tohru looked at him with worry.

  "It's alright, Tohru," Roy reassured her, patting her head, then looked back at the Dragon Emperor.

  "So, what do you say?"

  "Follow me. This pce is too small for us to fight," the Dragon Emperor said, his anger somewhat subdued.

  He opened a portal to a separate dimension and flew through it.

  "Roy, my father is very strong." Tohru's voice was filled with .

  "This isn't wise. Even all of us together are no match for the Dragon Emperor of Demise," Fafnir warned.

  He was clearly excluding Lucoa from that statement.

  "Yes, you 't defeat him," Elma added bluntly.

  Roy chuckled. He kneerful the Dragon Emperor was.

  As the leader of the Chaos fa, his strength was sed only to Lucoa's.

  But that wouldn't make Roy back down.

  "Don't worry, everyone," Roy reassured them, patting Tohru and Kanna's heads. "It's time for you to witness my true power."

  He g Lucoa, theowards the portal.

  Tohru and the others followed.

  ...

  In the dim subspace, the Dragon Emperor of Demise was waiting for them.

  "Devil, I admire your ce, but ce alone isn't enough to be worthy of my daughter," he said coldly.

  "My strength may not be enough yet, but it's more than enough to protect Tohru in this world," Roy replied calmly.

  As long as no gods intervened, his statement was true.

  And even if they did, he could still escape this world.

  "Hmph! Then prove it to me."

  With a fsh of light, the Dragon Emperor transformed into a massive red dragon, his aura shaking the dimension.

  He was evehan Tohru.

  Roy smirked. "Ren!" he called out softly.

  The dark purple spirit seal on his left arm glowed.

  A girl with bck hair, golden eyes, and rge bck wings appeared beside him.

  It was Ren Ashdoll, the Dark Elemental Lord.

  "Ren, I need your power."

  "Yes, use me!" Ren replied with a smile.

  She transformed into the [Sword of Pierg Truth].

  Roy grasped the sword, and a powerful aura erupted from him, causing the sky to darken and the ground to tremble.

  "Oh? Is this your true power?" the Dragon Emperor asked, finally taking Roy seriously.

  His eyes widened in shock as he realized that Roy was less thay years old.

  A Devil, not evey, possessing power rivaling his own...

  The Dragon Emperor was stunned.

  He had lived for millions of years to achieve his current strength.

  He no longer opposed Roy being his son-in-w as much.

  But his expression remained unged. There were matters to settle first.

  "Roy!" Tohru and the others looked at him with worry.

  Roy and the Dragon Emperor charged towards each other.

  The Dragon Emperor opened his maw, gathering a terrifying amount of energy.

  A powerful beam of energy, capable of dist space itself, shot towards Roy.

  Roy simply dodged the attack with a sidestep.

  He appeared before the Dragon Emperor in an instant and swung his sword.

  The seemingly simple attack seemed to tear through space itself.

  The Dragon Emperor didn't dare uimate it.

  He jured several magic circles for defense and charged another energy beam.

  Crack!

  Roy's sword effortlessly sliced through the magic circles.

  BOOM!!!

  A wave of dark energy erupted from the sword, carving a deep chasm into the ground.

  This attack, enhanced by Ren's True Darkness, was incredibly powerful.

  It was the first time Roy had used Ren's full power, and he was surprised by its destructive potential.

  Fortunately, the Dragon Emperor mao dodge at the st moment.

  He was drenched in a cold sweat. That terrifying darkness had threatened his very existence.

  If he hadn't dodged, he would have been killed instantly.

  'What kind of monster is this?' he wondered, his heart filled with shock.

  He, the leader of the Chaos fa, couldn't even withstand a siack from this young Devil.
