I'm Actually Not Overpowered!

"W-we need to have an emergency summit... all of us." The one who spoke so fearfully, despite his bone-chilling voice, was the mighty Demon General Hogun.

His body had still not recovered from the shock of facing, and losing to, the human who had proclaimed himself as the Legendary Dragon Slayer.

Picturing the image of the being sent a shiver down Hogun's spine, and he was confused by why he felt a feeling of awe rather than pure hate toward the human.

What was happening to him? Was it the effect of Magic?

~Whoah, was the human that strong?~

~Don't be a retard. Humans aren't very strong. They have a Level Cap of 30, right?

All of us here are Level 100. A Demon's base stats is even higher than a human's, so I don't see how that is possible.~

~Yeah... that's a good point.~

"You lot didn't see what I saw! You better not underestimate that man!" Hogun roared in frustration.

He kept clenching his fists angrily, and his muscles were tightening in fury.

"You fools had better not underestimate those humans! They're far stronger than we give them credit for!"

~Whoah, Hogun, calm yourself.~

~Hmph! I won't believe it until I witness the guy's abilities for myself. Though, I'm pretty sure I'll mop the floor with him.~

~We should all listen to Hogun. He's usually objective about these things..."

~What exactly did you see? I mean, our camps aren't exactly far from each other, but we're supposed to remain in our designated positions.~

~I saw a massive crater in your area. Did he cause that?~

~I also saw dead bodies and a mountain of corpses.~

~H-hold on, what?!~

"Huuu... you all..." Hogun's whisper sounded husky and heavy.

The Demon Generals knew it was time to be silent in order to let him speak. Despite his overly firm and stiff personality, he was still one of the strongest of them. That had

earned him the respect of everyone in the meeting.

About seven of them were present--a full house, so to speak.

"Think about this carefully. We didn't expect the humans to possess those Dragon-based weapons. It's not possible that they could have obtained something like that without help from a powerful entity. Yet..."

Hogun was lost in a sea of negative emotions. The more he thought about it, the more confused he was.

"... Not only did they possess weapons above their means, they actually managed to survive the first wave."

~Yeah, we know that already. What's your point?~

"The Legendary Dragon Slayer was the one who granted them those weapons! He made sure they could resist us. He must have also caught wind of our plans to destroy the city today and decided to disrupt everything by massacring my soldiers."

Hogun wasn't certain, but he had a good feeling that it was to serve as a warning. The lives of his soldiers were taken to warn him and the other Demon Generals.

"We must move carefully henceforth."

~Hmm... do the others know of this?~

A calm voice spoke from the Divining Orb.

It was a soft female voice. It belonged to one of the only two female Demon Generals presently leading the army. The other one was, of course, absent from the meeting.

"I personally called them and told them to hold off the invasion plan. They must have also felt the explosion, so after I explained it to them, they decided to listen."

~I swear, you're the only one who can talk to those stuck-up idiots.~

"In any case, we need to have a joint assembly--maybe a physical one."

For a moment, there was total silence. However, a voice calmly asked the question on most of the Demons' minds.

~Why?~

They could simply use the Divining Orb for group calls, while Hogun would inform the others of their decision , personally.

Was there really a need to go the extra mile?

"I'm... thinking of calling 'The Master.'"

~WHAT?!~

The entire group in the Divining Orb exclaimed in unison.

Even Hogun was shaken by the joint protestation of his colleagues, but he had expected this much.

~WHY GO THAT FAR?~

To be frank, the Lion-Headed demon saw the logic in their protest. But, they didn't understand. If only they could see how he felt... how powerful the Legendary Dragon Slayer was.

"Pray you never meet him in battle. Or maybe you should. Either way, I could clearly feel a compulsion to be dominated by him when I was in his presence..."

~D-Domination?!~

"Y-yeah. It shames me to admit it, but... it felt the same as I usually feel in the presence of 'The Master'.

~Oi. Oi. This is serious.~

~I didn't know he was that strong.~

~Well, it's ultimately up to you. If that's what you feel is right.~

~Your actions are always for the benefit of Demonkind, so I understand.~

The Lion-Headed Demon gave a small smile. His eyes glimmered slightly and his expression switched to one of relief.

"Thank you all."

~W-whatever! When do you want to have the meeting, anyway?~

~Yeah. And also, when will we be attacking?~

~Yep, just for reference.~

"To be safe, it's best we meet tomorrow. I want the dust to settle. If that man sees us taking action, he might make another dangerous move.

~Pfft, I still can't believe a single human is making us worry like this. For all we know, he could be a fraud who's faking it.~

"You don't know what I saw! There's no way he could fake that! He's the real deal!"

Hogun rarely lost his composure, but he did so at this point. His seething anger was evident from the veins that appeared all over his face. His bloodshot eyes eyed the Divining Orb with annoyance.

~Welp. If you say so...~

"In any case, we shouldn't attack if we don't have enough information on the targets.

As you all know, we need to be gathered before I can summon the Master, that's why I wanted a physical meeting."

Sounds of approval emanated from within the Divining Orb, and once again, Hogun smiled in satisfaction and gratitude.

He might have been overreacting, but the Demon General doubted it.

"Thank you, everyone. The ultimate goal to fulfill our master's wishes!"
