## Debut

### Light Novel

Volume 5

The **Resistance** is a rebellious secretive faction comprised of pureblooded demons who push for royal supremacy and have secretly went against the Demon King Anos Voldigoad's new order of egalitarianism between the pure and mixed-blooded demons.

## Overview

The group has been founded and led by the Angart family, one of the most powerful families in Dilhade. It's patriarch Zerceus Angart is involved in the administration of Midhaze.

After the Demon King's punishment, the group became committed to track down all the remaining royalist supremacist rebels and convert them into accepting and embracing the new egalitarian Dilhade. Their original goal would be used as a facade, to lure all the misguided pureblooded demons to their side and encourage them into embracing the new Dilhade.

## History

Upon the Demon King Reordination Ceremony, Anos abolished the segregation of demons with the support of several high officials and the Seven Demon Elders, a new order of egalitarianism was established between the royal and the mixed-blood demons. As a result, there are no longer distinctions between the two. The Royalists were reluctantly supportive of the decision as they used the excuse of being under the Great Spirit Avos Dilhevia's control to try to excuse their heinous actions during her short term reign of terror as being done under her influence.

## Synopsis

### Selection Trial Arc

With Anos' abolishment of the previous class system, the royal demons lost the privileges that they previously possessed, the Royalists were disbanded by Anos' decree. Though the former members who still adhered to their ideology, harbored resentment towards Anos for taking away their privileges. However, due to the fact that the Seven Demon Elders and various other high-level executives sided with Anos, they lacked the political power and influence to oppose him, let alone try to fight him directly in open warfare. Due to this, a group of royal demons covertly joined forces to form a secret royalist resistance group. The group was lead by Zerceus Angart, who believe that the true Demon King died 2,000 years ago and never reincarnated, as the Unitarians fabricated the existence of Anos Voldigoad as the Demon King in order to increase their influence. Due to lacking military capabilities, they accepted the aid of a mysterious benefactor who gave them a captured dragon to use for their plans.

While seeking to recruit more members, Zerceas is introduced to Anosh Polticoal by Ramon Iver, not knowing that it was Anos in disguise. Since Anosh was very knowledgeable about magic, Zerceas asked him to demonize a restrained dragon and have it rampage in Midhaze, but the demonized dragon went out of control and had to be taken down by Anosh. Anos then revealed himself and questioned Zerceas and his men on how they obtained such a powerful beast of a race, that was supposedly extinct two millennia ago. After getting all his answers and because Zerceas' plan broke one of Dilhade's three newly installed rules, Anos used *Nedneliaz* on Zerceas and his men. Under the effect of the collars, they would be in a dream where they are killed over and over by Anos, unless they worked for him to convert all the other rebels. After experiencing the effects multiple times, the heavily traumatized sect finally knelt to Anos, and they began tracking and converting all the remaining supremacist rebels who also stood against his will.
