I’m the Demon King, but There Are Too Many Heroes

034. Water Spirit, Nairuniel

Wedge-

wickedness-

Black light is sprayed

A sharp flash of aura hit the wall. But the wall had no scratches.

Ernap looked at him silently. As he chewed the cookies he had made, he caught the tears of Kaede’s sweat in his eyes.

A few days after she started living with the Imperial Princess, her training has now become a familiar routine.

“Is that the sword of the Jespine Empire?”

“It is a vision passed down only to the immediate family of the imperial family.”

The fact that he learned was not a secret at all.

“By the way, are you waiting for my training to finish?”

“yes. I have work to do and it gets in the way if you are dancing next to me.”

Kaede frowned.

The Empire’s arcane swordsmanship is called a sword dance.

She didn’t like the princess who spoke lightly. It was also annoying to look at the bewildered eyes that didn’t know what he was thinking.

But I endured. Because in the Tower of the Demon King, there were only two humans and princesses.

On the other hand, it was funny that the tower boasted the same number of demons including the demon king.

“What are you going to do?”

Not really, I didn’t ask out of curiosity. It’s just that the flow of conversation flows naturally.

“I will make a pact with the spirit.”

“You mean here?”

“yes. Do you have any problem?”

There are many problems.

The Demon King’s Tower had sparse mana and overflowed with magic. In her view, it was the worst in itself to make a contract with a spirit.

But instead of asking, he kept his mouth shut. It didn’t take long, but I knew intuitively that the end of this question would never come back with a good answer.

“Can I take a look?”

“For an Elementalist, a contract with a Elemental must be more secretive than ever. I hope you don’t know that.”

“Didn’t you also watch my training scene?”

“That’s because you didn’t deny it.”

It was an answer that left me with nothing to say.

“Still, if you don’t interfere, I won’t bother stopping you.”

“I am an honorable knight of the Empire. I don’t do such shameful things.”

“Did the demon king surprise you?”

“… the Demon Lord is different.”

“Does your face turn red for something like that?”

“·················ogue.”

Kaede shut her mouth. Once I started drying it, I was already feeling through my body that words could not win.

Ernn slowly began to draw the magic circle.

Spirits like pure mana. The Demon King’s Tower had very little mana and even it was turbid, so it was the worst environment for summoning spirits, but what I liked more than pure mana was the blood of those with excellent sensitivity to spirits.

The blood of Ernyan, which is said to have the highest spirit sensitivity on the continent.

If Seniel Powder, which is an elemental summoning auxiliary powder, is added, the environment is no longer important. In particular, the highest quality and quantity the Demon King bought was good.

Sara-

Ernyl stood still and poured out all the Seniel powder. According to the laws of nature, the falling powder rose against gravity.

He circled around her and danced with the spirits.

The blade of the wind cut my master’s finger. Red drops naturally blended with the powder.

woo woo woo-

Mana fluctuated around Ernyan. The powder and blood started to resonate.

“…

Kaede took a few steps back.

“ÐЩđЙł Дщкы??···.”

Unknown languages flowed out of Ernyan’s mouth.

yet.

space is split Unbelievable pure mana spread out from the Demon King’s Tower.

The spirit of the spirit world. Being able to feel that pure energy was nothing short of a miracle. Kaede hastily operated the Aurorian technique.

But soon backtracked.

huge presence.

it was a woman The most beautiful, the most mysterious, the most elegant.

Ernap gasped for breath at the enormous consumption of mana. But he did not fall down and held out his hand.

“I, in the name of Ernap Hilderan, please.”

“My dear, I would like to make a contract with the great guardian of water, blood and blood, soul and soul.”

Just by maintaining the summoning of the spirits and having a conversation, nosebleeds flowed down Ernian’s chin.

However, the blood that fell like that actually added strength to the summoning team.

A translucent pupil like a grain of glass met Ernyl’s eyes.

– Allow.

– According to the oath of the beginning, I, the higher spirits of water, Nairuniel, will regard humans and Ernyl Hilderan as their soul mates.

flash-

Her translucent body erupted into tens of thousands of water droplets. It permeated Ernian’s whole body and carved a mark on his soul.

space is closed The magic circle disappeared. Mana disappeared without a trace.

“Heh heh, heh heh…!”

Ernya, drenched in sweat, was exhausted and collapsed. But there was a smile on his lips that couldn’t be hidden.

“Niruniel.”

Mana moved. However, it was so small that it could not be compared with the summoning ceremony for the contract.

Nairuniel appeared again.

– It’s finally out!

She exclaimed brightly. It contrasted with the previous appearance.

– I know that? All the other spirits rejected you. Only I held your hand

“···yes?”

– Is that right? No one knew that there would be humans who could summon higher spirits from the Demon King’s Tower.

– Even if not, the spirits hate demons. But even though you were kidnapped, you showed a very cooperative side to the Demon King, didn’t you?

– Your reputation among the spirits is not very good.

“···okay.”

Ernya muttered a little. I roughly guessed.

– They’re stupid. Rather, that’s a good thing.

“…I don’t understand.”

I felt an unknown ominous feeling. It was like opening Pandora’s box.

– It’s a forbidden love story between a kidnapped princess and a kidnapped demon king! Forbidden love that cannot come true! I love this! Aaah!

“…I beg you, would you please turn me off to the Spirit Realm?”

‘···Well.’

Why? Kaede saw from the high spirits of the noble waters the madams who were cheering for the romance of the young nobles in the social circles of the imperial capital.

* * *

“There is going to be a brave act.”

A sudden communication.

It was Hillen Cargill’s first words.

『As a result of my failure to act as a hero, the hero guild suffered considerable damage to its image. The honor has fallen, and the theory of the guild of heroes has risen to the surface again.”

“Dance theory?”

“Because the hero is an important force, there are those who argue that it should be managed by each country, not just one group. A typical example is the Jespine Empire.”

there must be such a problem

Also, Berge in the past was too ignorant. He tried to solve everything with his own stubbornness and self-restraint. If I had known that there was such an interesting relationship, I should have fallen in love with him right away.

“Can’t you split it?”

“It will be difficult right now. With the guild leader as the center, the elders and high-ranking warriors are united.”

“‘Right now’ doesn’t mean there is no gap at all.”

I found it good.

『············.”

“Anyway, that’s why you beat the Demon King?”

“The idea is to rescue the prince or princess kidnapped by the Demon King and restore the lost honor of the Heroes’ Guild.”

“Are you going to attack me again?”

“It is not.”

“If I had found the Demon King’s Tower, the elders of the guild do not like meaningless sacrifices. I will probably stand by the Demon King for a while and observe the situation.”

From Berge’s point of view, it was the best choice.

“Then what is the purpose?”

“It will be cold or a beast.”

The Demon Lord of the Cold, Reina Sordain.

The Demon Lord of the Beasts, Drakson Doldorf.

“Why do they have to?”

“Because it is a collaboration.”

“As you may know, there are some demon lords who are in contact with the Hero Guild.”

didn’t know But I guessed.

Before the return, I never thought that the Demon King would ever join hands with a human or a hero, but now it is different.

The strange cohabitation of the hero and the demon king was impossible without each other’s needs.

『The Heroes Guild has no intention of seeing the end with a specific demon king. We’re going to try to achieve what we want each other appropriately. As always.”

“If there is no Demon King, the meaning of existence of the Heroes’ Guild will not fade?”

“This is poker playing with a squeeze. Will those demon lords cooperate properly?”

“The Demon King of Beasts is a wicked person. If you promise me a reasonable interest, I will match the sum. The cold weather doesn’t really have much to do with the guild, but because of her inclination, the guild gives her more trust than the greedy beast.”

tendency?

“Yes. Oh, and I have a suggestion for you on this one. To the demon king of the cold…”

Hillen Cargill explained.

“It seems so.”

“Of course, it cannot be said that it is unconditional, but it can be said that it is the best for now.”

“One fine hair is working fine.”

“It’s not fine hair…”

In an instant, a murmur was heard from beyond the crystal orb. Hillen Cargill’s face contorted.

“It seems that something has happened. We will contact you again later.”

“So.”

contact has been lost and.

chock-

Berge tore up the report he had received from Gordon before the communication started.

“What are you doing! The result of squeezing my hair for a few days!”

“I don’t need it anymore.”

“What! You didn’t even look right?”

“I read half of it, but I have a better plan, so why stick with it?”

“…I want to hear it.”

“It’s taking advantage of Hillen Cargill’s bravery.”

“You mean bravery?”

“There are cases where the Heroes Travel goes around the entire continent. The brave act is to put the royal capital of the Akan Kingdom into the circuit area. Many merchants want to join the bravery. It’s not a chance to make a ton of money.”

“Are you going to have Jettson join there?”

“If it’s his greed, I’ll join him. certainly. And when he robbed all his fortune and joined the bravery, he tricked him into sending out monsters as if Reina sent him.”

“···········?”

“It would suffice to agree in advance with Hillen to loosen the borders and to shatter Jettson’s wealth just in moderation.”

Berger laughed.

“What do you think of that swindler with no money?”

Maybe it’s the ‘rich hogu’ who threw a huge sum of money to the person he saw for the first time.

“As long as it is in my hands, it is clear who will be the Hogu, though.”

“It’s really… a plan like a demon king.”

Gordon was amazed. Indeed, he was the head of the Demon King Military Academy. It was better than his plan.

“It’s best. That human will have no choice but to dance under the control of the Demon King.”

The hero and the demon king work together to make a match, but can one merchant resist?

The future was set.

“Then what do you do? Why don’t you go quickly and make a detailed plan?”

“…Yes, I will.”

Gordon disappeared at Berge’s beckoning.

“…well, is this the first time since harmony?”

He cleared his throat and injected magic into the communication port.

* * *

“…what is this?”

Hillen looked out the window through the curtains. The knights lined up were never favorable.

“·················ogue.”

“Sir Kultan. I want you to let me continue to call you Kyung-eul.”

“···sorry. It’s your Majesty’s motto to bring the hero.”

The commander of the Cheonghae Knights, Kultan, bowed his head.

“What if you don’t want to go?”

“It’s a catchphrase to bring you along even by force.”

under. Hillen laughed.

“What is the crime? What if I failed to subdue the Demon King? Can’t you save the princess? You know how ridiculous that is, right?”

This is the dimension the Demon King is used to. It is a dimension where the Demon King is no longer an absolute position.

However, that doesn’t mean that the warriors always beat the Demon King. I got used to it and I was able to control them more organically, but the Demon King was not an easy being to kill whenever I wanted.

More warriors died than many demon kings descended and disappeared.

There have been many failures before that success. And even now, there were plenty of warriors who failed.

Nevertheless, it was for wealth and honor that they risked their lives to become heroes. It could not be said that there was no devotion for the country or for the world.

But what if the price for a challenge you risked your life for was like this. Who will risk their life for the country and go on a brave journey?

Officially, Hillen risked her life to find the tower until the very end, wandering around the rough terrain called Erzestra.

“You don’t know what the Crown Princess means to Hilderan, don’t you?”

“I don’t think it matters to Hilderan?”

“…I am not asking for a sin. Of course, that won’t happen. All you have to do is tell the story of what happened in front of His Majesty.”

“You really think so?”

“·················ogue.”

Kultan was silent.

“I am not going.”

“You must go.”

“The same intimidation as before will not work. This is not Hilderan, the cause belongs to me.”

If the heir of the kingdom is kidnapped, the hero must comply with the request. That was an agreement between the Heroes’ Guild and the nations of the continent, and Hillen had no choice but to follow it.

But not now.

Hillen did her best, but only failed, and no kingdom could blame the warrior who risked her life but failed.

Unless it is revealed that the hero intentionally failed.

‘If you think about it, that’s why I became the Demon King’s dog.’

there until this day. Hillen was increasingly dissatisfied with her homeland, Hilderan.

“how.”

Hillen’s eyes were no longer favorable.

“Would you like to lead me by force?”

Is it possible?

Kultan shook his head inwardly.

The hero who killed the demon king of lust. Although he couldn’t find the Demon King’s Tower, Erzestra is a strong man who survived several weeks in rough terrain.

The Cheonghae Knights were one of Hilderan’s famous knights, but Hilan Cargill’s strength was more than that.

“…I will contact my home country.”

“If your Majesty wants to see my face, please make a formal request to the Heroes’ Guild. Isn’t it the principle that Hilderan does not belong to my country or to a particular country?”

Of course, I was blindfolded, but in this case, it was worthwhile.

“Yes.”

In the end, Kultan had no choice but to bow his head.

* * *

“Did you cough? Demon King.”

“Did everyone sleep well?”

Reina Sordain woke up in the bright sunlight.

I lived my daily life as usual. After being served by the maids of the Demon tribe, they changed clothes and had a morning tea time with aides.

After breakfast, we had lunch with a constructive discussion on how to make the tower stronger.

After that, he went around every floor to encourage demons and demons and reviewed the facilities of the tower.

It was then that I got a call from Drakson.

“Does that mean that the goal of the heroic journey is to become a real woman?”

“okay. that’s the sound The hero’s guild was hurt because of that bastard Bergée.”

“In order to hide the thread, it takes an equivalent amount of work.”

“What do you want from your real woman?”

“Nothing. Just do it as usual. As usual. There is nothing special to add or subtract from there.”

“I want my wife to fit into the play.”

“After all, it’s good that you speak well.”

“Even if you don’t have to ask her, she will do as usual.”

“That is enough.”

In an instant, another crystal ball signaled.

“Berge Deias?”

“what?”

“No, it’s nothing, cut it off. She is busy.”

“It was expensive. Anyway, that’s how you know.”

Draxon is gone. Reina hurriedly injected the magic into another communication port. Berge’s face came to mind.

“What happened after you contacted me first?”

“Reina Sordain. There was a rumor that the Heroes’ Guild was heading to the Tower of Fever, did you know?

“··········!”

‘how?’

Draxon can understand. Because it was an open secret among the demon lords that he was secretly drawing a line to the Heroes’ Guild.

So it wasn’t too strange for him to get the information in advance.

But Berge Deias was different. He came less than a year after his advent. He had just stopped one brave act, and when he descended, he came down without any benefit due to the utterances of the graduation ceremony.

It was really nothing.

‘The Braves were lucky enough to hide and block it. If it’s Erzest, it’s not impossible at all. But how come at the same time as Draxon…?’

there is something she intuited

“How did you know that?”

“Are you curious?”

“Sound of course!”

“It’s not something that can be done through communication, but I want to meet you in person.”
