Demon King Daimaou: Volume 8 by Shoutarou Mizuki

2V, with the newly-awakened First Demon King, Zero, has successfully taken over the Empire. All Liradans, including Korone, are under her control.

What is 2V's true goal behind creating this Liradan-centered, magicless society?

Meanwhile, the injured Akuto has taken refuge in a black mage village with Fujiko, Keena, and Yoshie. What will he do when he meets someone who holds the secret to his mysterious birth...?
