Bloodshed is not something unknown to the people of this city but war isn't something they have ever seen since the city they live in is deep in the demon territory. But a strategic invasion by the hands of the holy alliance wasn't something that happens everyday either. Deep in the crumbling city's castle a battle has just ended as a high paladin of the holy alliance had stabbed his sword into the chest of the lord of the castle.
"My death is but the beginning of a new age and may it not be in your favor" spat out the dying demon lord the sword through his chest causing copies mounts of blood to bleed from his armor. even in death the lord of the castle looked like he never lost in the first place with the large demonic smile that spiled blood from his lips as his lungs collapsed.
"quiet beast, I James Wrentham high paladin of light sentence you Dramelozic the demon lord of Greed and the king of the demonic kingdom of Orlin to death" James never thought in his entire life that he would live to see the death of one of the demon lords that are considered the most cruelest of evils in the world and never did he think it would be by his blade.
The end of the 4th millenia and the beginning of the 5th came the fall of the Orlin kingdom and the death of the demon lord Dramelozic. With this the holy alliance began its conquest on the seven demonic kingdom alliance.
In an ancient castle that is built at the center of the seven demon kingdoms a meeting between the six lords of the other kingdoms and the new hier to the Orlin kingdom there the seven demon lords argued at each other around a large round table over some serious issues. Many times the arguments became heated to the point some spells have been launched and blades have crossed many times during this multi day long meeting. The main topic of the meeting was about the more aggressive attacks the holy alliance have been doing recently.
"What in The nine Hells! Those pesky humans and their friends in the holy alliance have taken another one of my cities why are we sitting here doing nothing about this" yelled the new demon lord of Greed as she glared her golden eyes and brandished her black teeth at her fellow demon lords. She had lost many treasures and riches to the raids on her city's and they have even kill her husband the previous demon lord of Greed Dramelozic
"I understand how you feel lady Greed but we have been trying for years to fight against the holy alliance but nothing has worked and the only one of the demon lords that has gotten close to creating a advantage or weapon against them was your dear husband who was killed" said the demon lord of pride who's prescience was as powerful as it was not feeling like a ripple of water on a large lake. He was one of the older demon lords and he was good friends with Dramelozic when he was alive because they both were proud of their kingdoms and treasured their people.

"Well Mr lord Pride maybe if you got that stick out of your ass you could see that you are the reason that we have nothing to fight them with. Because you don't allow my soldiers to train in the great forest in you kingdom territory it would make more elite soldiers and maybe they can help you with your elf problem that you have" said the demon lord of Wrath as flames spouted out from his helmet and horns. He has been starving for a fight because his kingdom is on the other side of the kingdoms and do to the rules of the alliance he can't send any army's through another lords kingdom without providing a valid reason why.
"Well Sir Wrath I may have a solution that doesn't involve a war between each other" said the elderly demon lord of Sloth that has been mostly silent during the whole meeting watching for a opportunity to propose a possible solution to their current problem." I have been research into some of the ancient tablets from back when the first demon lord arised and I may have found a solution for the holy alliance problem"
"Mmmm what's do you mean grand papa Sloth? What is this solution you have found?" said the fat rotund demon lord of Gluttony as she chewed through the body of a large beast. Guts, bones, and all was rapidly consumed by the large maw of the demon lord adding to her many overlapping folds and flaps of skin.
"Well I found in the ancient tablets that the first demon lord used a summon ritual to summon a champion just like how the humans summon their heros. They used a special summoning ritual that would summon a human who has been tormented by the worse of humanity and now despise humanity as much as we do creating the perfect champion for the demons" said Sloth as he looked around the room at his fellow demon lords "But I need the of all the demon lords with the ritual as it is a very powerful ritual for to search for such a specific target and because the ancient tablets said that the champion will have the power of all the demon lords who summon"
"Well I think me and Envy agreed to help you if we get to have ownership of the champion because we aren't allowing you to own such a powerful being all by yourself" said the demon lord of Lust who was sitting on the lap of the demon lord of Envy. both of the ladies had been mostly quiet for the meeting except for some small talk and some moans from Lust.
"Lady Lust does have a great point how do we know that you aren't going to just run away with this champion of yours" said Pride for if he was in Sloth's position he would take this supposedly powerful champion of darkness for himself.
"Luckily because it uses your mana whoever helps with the ritual owns a equal amount of power over the champion so you don't have to worry about one of us lords running away with the champion" reassuringly said Sloth as he tried to convince himself from falling asleep because of his curse.
"Ok fine I'll help too. This better help get my land back or else I'm going to find the oldest evilest curse I can find with the money still have" reluctantly said Greed as she continued to yap about how bad the curse would be if she didn't get her land back.
"Well then my fellow demon lords come with me I already have the ritual circle ready in my laboratory" hovering from the table Sloth lead the rest of the demon lords out into the hallway and out to the portal gateway and set the location to his laboratory.
In a much more enclosed room was a large illuminated ritual circle that rumbled with power as the seven demon lords powered the ritual circle as the elderly demon lord Sloth chanted out a ancient spell that darkened the room with dark magic.
Once the spell was finished a pillar of darkness raised from the center of the summoning ritual and from it came a malnourished human girl. With black hair and one eye a blood red and the other a dull lime green showing a clear sign of heterochromia which isn't common amongst humans.
"Hello champion of darkness we are the seven demon lords of the seven demon kingdom alliance and we have summoned you for we need your help" said Sloth calmly as he could to a pitiful human girl for they only need to agree that she is their champion then they would own her body and soul.
