Became the Emperor in the Hero Game

109 – Part 3 Episode 11

“… Darkness.”

At the time the demons rampaged, the demons who survived because they had not yet reached the continent, and now only two descendants of the demon king, called darkness.

“Speak.”

“… We know that we participated as part of this coalition, but we are no longer part of it.”

‘Now, Ira. Not since your king died.’

The Demon King was a strong man who was difficult to deal with even as a demon or darkness, but the demons under him did not reach that level.

Though the direct descendant did not lose even when he competed head-on with the dragon, his rank was far inferior to that of darkness, death, and demons.

“Death is insidious, and drinking is short-lived. So we want to take you as our lord. Accept our allegiance.”

“…… “

Darkness didn’t answer right away and struggled inwardly.

‘Tsk, that’s the beginning.’

Devils are good at magic, but their main specialty is alienation and slander, not magic.

Even if a bunch died at the hands of demons, the surviving demons are a mighty force.

If such a force were to come under him in its entirety, death would hold him in check even more, even if the Demon God didn’t know about it.

Also, since he is different from demons and death, he must have calculated that he would avoid the wrath of demons under his umbrella.

‘But it doesn’t matter.’

In the first place, I had no intention of dividing and ruling the continent while holding hands with death or the devil.

Kiriya and the emperor, if possible, after dealing with the dragon lord, we should get rid of the dead first and fight the demons.

Death and demons must be thinking the same thing.

In that case, there is no problem even if you receive their checks a little faster.

“I will gladly accept your allegiance.”

“I will do my best.”

Of course, I wasn’t very happy, and I didn’t intend to be loyal.

——————————————————————————

“Hmm… “

The first destination is the Great Forest.

Devils are loyal to darkness.

Zephyros, who watched the darkness and its forces from a distance, reflected on the newly acquired information.

“Even if the World Tree is weaker than before, it is difficult to ignore it in the Great Forest. Is that a good decision?”

Zephyrus spoke as if asking a close friend.

“Ugh… “

At his feet lay an old Transcendental, dismembered and scattered, and there were two more similar corpses around him.

“Hmm? Are you having a hard time answering? So why did you move separately, quietly with Nocturne?”

“Zephyros… “

The reason why the transcendents attacked the wind god was simple.

Because the wind god was complacent.

Weak against the strong, and run away when there is a conflict.

He was famous in the old continent for his usual fuss and being ignored here and there.

“Well, I am Zephyros. Master of all winds, the most free god.”

The Transcendentalists thought wrong.

The attitude of the most powerful gods and ancient dragons toward Zephyrus is mischievous, but if Zephyrus really deserved to be ignored, he would not be allowed to be close to them or die at their hands.

But what about reality?

The stigma of being a god who ran away unsightly after being defeated by wolves also played a role.

But if you think about it, you challenged the wolf.

In the realm of the world tree, the two ancient dragons, the knight god, and the giant king, who were protected by her, challenged the wolf, who could not be killed even though they worked together, and survived.

The weight of this horse was never funny.

I also misunderstood the character of Zephyrus.

Among the gods, he was mild, docile, and one of the few gods who could be said to have a good personality.

“Actually, I didn’t ask for an answer. Take a break.”

With a single gesture, Zephyrus, who slashed the transcendental figure below his feet, muttered cheerfully as he stood up.

“Well, after coming this far, I should say hello to Nocturne!”

Zephyros soon turned into a gust of wind and flew towards Nocturne’s army.

Like when Nocturne went to the dragon’s gorge, Zephyrus was confident that he could pull himself out safely.

——————————————————————————

“See you again! Nocturne.”

“… Zephyrus.”

Zephyrus blocked the army that was advancing toward the great forest.

“Hey, is this how you feel? It’s nice to see so many faces for the first time in a while. How long has Shard been?”

“…… Long time no see.”

It still looked empty and flimsy, but most of those gathered here remembered Zephyrus.

The Transcendentalists who didn’t know much about him laughed at him, but the gods who knew a little more were nervous.

‘It’s bothering me… ‘

Darkness looked at Zephyrus and clicked its tongue inside him.

He doesn’t have the confidence that he can surely kill even if he chases him, and what if he leaves this army and the great forest alone to pursue Zephyrus and gets defeated individually?

“… Did you miss me? Friend.”

Darkness finally decided not to fight Zephyrus here.

The darkness that faced my Zephyrus with a smiling face signaled to his subordinates and then started talking.

“That’s right! The great grove?”

“… Okay. We have to decide against the World Tree.”

“I thought it would be death. He, triumphantly invaded the primordial forest and almost perished.”

“I don’t know what death does either. He was still staying outside the continent and plotting something. It doesn’t matter since death isn’t particularly obsessed with revenge.”

“Why is it Daesurim? Oh, shall I guess? The gods who were helped by the World Tree, including me.”

“… Yes. In particular, I heard that Paura went into hiding with a wound close to extinction. It must be the power of the World Tree.”

More than Kiriya’s divine power, more than the authority of death.

The world tree has the best power to save and heal someone.

If the World Tree remains, the gods who were not surely killed during the long war that will follow will continue to recover and appear.

This god’s vitality should be tough, it’s not easy to kill.

Isn’t it the most standard way to cut healers first?

“Then what if you are wiped out? Of course we will prepare for it.”

“… There is always a way.”

“Well, it’s okay to fight at night, isn’t it? Kiriya is on our side?”

“Tsk, let’s go back today. See you again in the Great Grove.”

“Well, if you don’t want to tell me, I can’t help it. See you later!”

Zephyros became the wind and disappeared from Nocturne’s sight.

———————————————————————————-

“What trick is this?”

“…… “

This crazy bastard burst into my office and the first thing he said was that.

“Zephyros.”

“Oh, Paura! How are you… I can’t seem to lose There are Us and Stein, too.”

“… How about starting with an explanation?”

“Ah! I mean… “

……

“Darkness leads its army to the great grove.”

“But it must be a smoke screen to me? Even if that was the original plan, it must have changed now. Because I heard.”

“What if my forces and the army of darkness clash in the Great Forest?”

“… The power of the pure Emperor, that is to say, the Emperor and Lausin. Oh sorry. Was it Sien? Anyway, that friend and the grand duke. And if you fight with only the masters over there, the emperor will be defeated.”

“Is that enough? Jim thinks differently.”

Although my fighting ability is a bit lacking, my supporting ability and fighting skills are not inferior to the darkness. Shien’s powers once belonged to the greatest god, as well as grand dukes and world capitals.

Because there are elven knights and my masters too.

“Darkness is stronger than you think. Those subordinates are also strong. From my point of view, only Shin is over ten, and Transcendental seems to be over fifty?”

“… What a disaster.”

“Well, at the time, the losers, who were all different forces, united as one. Maybe if they had united in the old great war, the continent would have been eaten long ago?”

“Tsk.”

Comparing each force alone, Kiriya, who was the victor, would be stronger, but since all those who were defeated and kicked out were united as one, their forces were not normal.

“… It’s funny to ask now, but does Kiriya have any power?”

“Holy Kingdom?”

“… I don’t think it will help much.”

“Um… When Kiriya is not on the continent, the Holy Land is certainly not a big deal. But maybe not now?”

“Um… “

“Because, unlike us, he has maintained his faith for such a long time. Your own strength is also a strength, but Kiriya’s brief visit to the Holy Land will make them a force that no one will be able to ignore.”

“Come to think of it, Kiriya went to the Holy Land.”

Honestly, the current Seongguk can be annihilated with just one step. No, I didn’t even count it because I didn’t step forward at all and the kingdom of the feudal lords such as the Pale family and Grepa was a force that could compete against me.

“… It is the holy kingdom of Kiriya.”

Paura, who had been listening quietly, muttered quietly.

“It was annoying for me to deal with. Even compared to that time, more than a thousand years have passed, so now it will be different from the Holy Land then.”
