A Highest Rank in Another World!

Ward slept and only a few seconds later his eyes suddenly opened. His once clear eyes were now dark, but they were still glowing amidst the darkness.

He stood up slowly as he moved his hands and legs, analyzing how his body acted. And with a smile, he walked towards Luna's bed in front of him.

Taking slow steps, seemingly not really knowing what he was doing.

'This is strange, I can't control this body very well yet. He's also taller than I'm used to. It's weird to walk.'

Ward began to walk around the bedroom.

'All right, I think I can get used to it. Master, what do I do now?'

[ First, approach the girl and place your hand on her head. Do everything slowly so that she doesn't wake up. ]

'Okay.' Walking with a little difficulty, he approached Luna's bed. When he approached, she stirred a little, but her eyes did not open.

Carefully, he brought his small hand up to Luna's head. 

'And now?'

[ Leave the rest to me ].

After those words, Ward's hand began to release a kind of black smoke that was directly entering Luna's head. And after a few seconds, the smoke disappeared.

[ Everything is ready. ]

'What did you do to her?'

[ I just messed with her mind a little ]

'Did you make her forget that her parents were killed?'

[ No. I just made her accept "Ward's" new way of acting and also made her believe some things. ]

'Can you explain everything to me?'

[ It's simple. Now she remembers 'Will' is a normal person only a little ugly. She totally forgot about her grotesque and disgusting appearance. ]

'It hurts my feelings.'

[ Well, I had to make her forget that you are a demon... Now back to the point, I made her believe that she had a conversation with her brother. ]

'What kind of conversation?'

[ I made her accept your brother's plan to steal the king's throne. I also "told" her to trust her brother and help him in everything. ]

'Wasn't that too simple?'

[ Of course, humans have a rather weak mind. ]

[ Now also take care of my children. Don't worry, this little girl called Luna already knows about them too. ]

After those words, Ward's body began to shake uncontrollably in the middle of the bedroom. And while his body was shaking, chains and more chains were being thrown out of his body.

The chains began to rotate all over the bedroom. The chains threw the closet to the floor and the walls were damaged.

'Hey, hey, master! This is making too much of a mess, everyone is going to wake up!'

[ Don't worry about it, just kill them all ].

'Are you crazy?'

Ward kept looking at those chains in front of him. The chains that were getting "calmer" started to come together and began to form the body of a large black armor.

And after one was formed, more chains came out, forming several other armors that appeared in the middle of the bedroom.

Since the room was small, it became quite cramped.

And with the weight of the armors, the floor, which was made of wood, could not take the weight and collapsed, so everything fell to the first floor exactly where Raquel's room was.

Raquel, who had woken up earlier because of the noise, was taken by surprise when the ceiling of her beloved inn collapsed on her head. Without much time to react, she used what little experience she had to create protection over her head.

Fortunately, she was able to protect herself.

"What the fuck is this?" But soon after opening her eyes and looking into her room, besides the scattered wood and her broken furniture, she could see eight large armor along with little Ward who was carrying his sister on his lap.

"Hey, Ward? What's that?" She stood up with her legs shaking. 

Raquel tried to call out for Ward, but the boy just ignored her.

"You..." And the instant she tried to say anything else, a chain that protruded from Ward's body grabbed the frightened Raquel's neck.

Watching this happen without any emotion in his gaze, Ward remained silent as the chain coming out of his body ripped off Raquel's head with great ease.

The muscular body of the woman/man fell on the floor already lifeless while her fingers made a single movement probably caused by spasms.

[ Everyone is awake now, go and kill them all quickly. You can use these armors as you like. Also, mess with your friend Ward's head a bit because I'm sure we'll have problems. ]

'Don't worry, if it's up to me Ward won't do anything to harm us.'

Will who was using Ward's body smiled as he gave the instructions to the armors.

''Kill everyone inside the inn and then kill everyone inside this town'' He said with a childish voice.

"Hm?"

Luna in his arms opened her eyes after hearing her brother's voice.

"You woke up?" Will/Ward was a little afraid about how Luna would react in this situation.

"Ward? What are you doing?"

"I'm just killing the people of this town. It will be necessary so that we can steal the throne and take over the country."

"I understand. But should you be doing this? Our parents wouldn't like something like that..." Luna said with a sad expression.

"Don't worry about it. Once we take over the country, you're in for a big surprise." 

"..."

Luna smiled at Ward.

And Ward smiled at her, too.

But the two were smiling for different reasons.

Luna was smiling because she was supporting her brother and that is important to her.

Ward was smiling because he was seeing that Luna's mind had been changed.

####

Only a few hours had passed, the city had already become ruins in a short time. Buildings were destroyed, people were easily killed, and what was left was only a trail of destruction.

And inside Ward's head, everything was being manipulated the way Will wanted it.

Will talked to Ward in his mind, messed with his memories, and in a short time, Ward's old personality had completely disappeared. A happy boy? There was no such thing. 

A gentle boy? That was gone, he was just a wicked boy who at most liked his sister.

His parents? He didn't seem to care about their return anymore, he had transformed. Will smiled proudly using Ward's body when he realized that the boy had copied his personality.

'Was I tricked?' Ward never got to think that. He couldn't because he was being kept under Will's control the whole time.

And Luna next to Ward was still keeping her usual gentle personality, she loved her brother very much. The one problem is that she remained against the usurpation of the throne that her brother wanted to do.

Deep down she believed that it was not a good idea, that it would end up in trouble, and that her parents would never accept something like that.

But for some reason, she couldn't say anything about it for Ward.

She had to follow her brother, help him, do what he asked.

'Why am I doing this?' She never thought that either because for her it was the right thing to do.

In her mind, even if people died, if people suffered, if her brother did terrible things, she still had to support him.

She asked a single question.

"That ugly dwarf, who was it?"

Ward who heard that question was a little sad but just answered honestly.

"That's Will, my friend that I talk to."

"Ah, so that's him. I thought you were crazy."

"Urgh."

"I was also quite surprised by his disappearance and the appearance of these armors. They make me a little afraid."

"Don't worry. They won't hurt you since they are my subordinates and will obey me independently of the order I give."

"That's good to hear.."

After the destruction of the city and the death of known people, Ward and Luna marched towards the capital of Beastled along with their eight armors.

And Ward who had his personality and mind changed seemed not to care what he was doing. Even if he regained some of his consciousness, he still acted the way Will wanted.

Now they had become one.

[ My congratulations, Ferso, now I leave the rest to you ].

'Wait, master! Aren't you going to keep in talking with me to help me?'

[ Of course not. I will leave these armors for you to take care of and you will use them to do what I asked. ]

'Will you appear again in the future?'

[ When you fulfill my order, I will visit you again or send someone to pick you up. ] 

'That's fine. Don't worry, me and my friend Ward will be able to complete your plan. We just have to destroy as many countries as we can, right?'

[ First, destroy Southlein. Later you'll be free to destroy the other countries. ]

'Alright.'

As they marched toward the capital, Ward/Will kept a smile on their faces as they thought about the fun that was to come.
