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

038. Butterfly Effect

“Prince!”

“Prince, hey, hey!”

A bitter cry echoed.

But their prince has already crossed the river of no return.

“You must have loved the prince too much? Anyone who sees it will think that even the ex-lover is dead.”

But what about it?

Louise scoffed. He pulled out his axe and shook his head.

“Would you like to take the curtain of Mark/Su?”

“What a bitch!”

“Kill that bitch!”

“Recover the prince’s remains!”

Louise’s provocation became a huge crater. Sorrow became despair, scream became anger.

A life of primary color that could not be compared with before was all shot towards Louise.

“Come, you bastards! Who knows who will be scared!”

“Protect the princess!”

Louise roared. Volvo and the knights hastily formed a barrier.

A raging raging, made of warriors, overlaid with wrath and life, struck. The dwarves stood on the ground with their short legs. held out the shield.

quaw-

The shield shook. The dwarves screamed.

“You killed a prince and ran like a dog in heat.”

The princess rolled up her sleeves and raised her axe. Volvo hastily stopped her.

“You must run away.”

“Can you run away?”

“Princess!”

“Don’t worry, if you look behind you, you’ll be lost, because you won’t become a prisoner.”

“I would never do that. I will risk my life to clear the road!”

“Do you think that will happen? Wouldn’t it be better to hope that unknown demons appear and smash them one by one?”

Then where did he go?

“Who are you talking about?”

“The demon who brought this horned bastard right in front of me to eat.”

“…is gone.”

Just like the moment it appeared, without a sound or rumor.

That was then.

Aww-

It’s a monster!

Stop it!

A scream was heard from the other side. The disgusting smell peculiar to the monster vibrated.

“…Did you call me by any chance?”

“How can I?”

“…but why really?”

Did a demon appear?

* * *

Quail sent the gargoyles away.

Gargoyles floating in the sky quickly found two groups of enemies.

“The dwarfs and the forces of Ormus have just made contact.”

“Distance?”

“It is about 5km southwest of here.”

“Approach slowly.”

The demons advanced. They were accustomed to the jungle melted.

“The humans of Ormus have besieged the dwarves.”

“environment?”

“The castle is coming and going. Let’s go down closer and hear the story.”

Quail was informed of the situation in real time. Ten gargoyles quickly moved back and forth between the site and the quail.

“There is a second prince in Armus’ group.”

“There’s one more guy to watch out for.”

“It seems that the 2nd Prince of Ormus is stopping the dwarf princess from going to Mount Merkon.”

“okay?”

Quail was dazzled. In my heart, I wanted to ignore the Demon Lord and kill all the cheeky people who invaded the realm, but the Demon Lord’s order took priority.

So, it was better to go out on my own feet as humans and dwarves intertwined like this.

“…but the atmosphere is not good.

“atmosphere?”

“The princess and the prince are arguing. The humans of Ormus aimed their weapons at the dwarves.”

“It’s a very interesting situation.”

it was as good as it was

There was no reason for the blades aimed at each other to fall even to the Demon King.

“Speed up. You can’t miss the fun sight.”

What Quail loved as much as fighting was the appearance of foolish humans. The foolishness of running towards the worst without enduring greed and greed, the despair at the end was the sweetest.

That moment-

Aaah-

Quail stopped abruptly. The demons screamed.

“This···.”

it was magi

“No way···.”

Extremely pure and huge.

It wasn’t a single demon. There were no more monsters.

“It is a high-ranking demon.”

But why?

The Demon King is in the tower.

“Is it possible that you have given special orders to other demons other than me…”

But it was a bit foreign to pass that way. It didn’t match the magic of any of the higher demons he knew.

The deep ominousness spurred Qail.

And I witnessed it.

A princess who splits the prince’s head and the Ormus warriors who risk their lives for revenge.

There were no demons he expected.

For a brief moment in doubt, Qile shook his head at the screams of the dwarves. Drakson’s request came to mind.

‘No matter what happens, you have to save as much as the dwarf princess!’

Everything was strange, but that was after saving the princess.

It was more important to save an important princess who was still alive than a less important prince who had already died.

“Kill all the dogs of Ormus! No matter what happens, save the dwarf princess!”

woo

A battle with humans, dwarves, and even monsters began.

* * *

‘It must have been unconditional.’

If you use force, you will inevitably be caught. Still, I couldn’t help it.

‘Because he couldn’t fight without Magi.’

In Ormus, which is quite a distance from the tower, he was not a being who could fight and win even while hiding his magic.

If you fight as it is, you will be defeated.

However, the pride of the Demon King did not allow him to run away.

No matter how different he was from his previous life, he was a Demon King. He was supremely arrogant and supremely stalwart Absolute.

They are not cowardly enough to turn their backs and run away.

Berge is not merciful enough to forgive people who attack him.

So, in a very short moment, he exploded everything.

Louise didn’t know how to finish him, but thanks to him, he was able to get out of his body easily.

It must have been discovered by Drakson, but…

‘You wouldn’t think that it was me.’

Magi is not a simple measure of strength, but represents the rank of a demon.

As the Demon King, Berzee, decided to release the magic, everyone must have felt that he was not just a monster or a low-level demon.

However, he will never be able to connect him to the Demon King, Berge Deias.

It was because the common sense of the demons could not imagine that a demon king secretly infiltrated another demon king’s realm without prior notice.

stupid prejudice. stupid standard. It was truly a fantastic collaboration.

The cursed mage was smiling at him.

‘It’s ironic.’

Berger laughed bitterly.

‘There has been a complete mess.’

He didn’t know that Louise would kill the Prince of Ormus himself. Thanks to this, Ormus’ dogs began to run wild, and the Dwarves were in a hurry to protect the princess.

Even the monsters that suddenly attacked there.

Thanks to this, Berge was able to safely get out of the scene without anyone’s attention.

‘I think it’s the best chance.’

The presence of the demons had already been felt. I got the feeling they were avoiding the battle in their attitude.

That would be Drakson’s intention.

The intention of not wanting to be hostile to Louise. But it was smashed by Berge.

The Prince of Ormus died and Louise took his last breath, but it cannot be denied that Magi intervened.

So, let’s think about it.

If humans moved in the realm of the Demon King, whose fault would it be?

whoever sees

“It’s Draxon.”

There’s no way the guy who was watching in the tower couldn’t feel the magic of Berge, so there must have been an uproar by now. Maybe you came to check it out yourself.

If so, doesn’t that mean it’s hard to focus on other places?

Mercon Mountain.

“Is it empty?”

The corners of Berge’s lips rose.

* * *

Berge killed his presence and landed on the tree. Demons were seen in the distance.

“I haven’t lost my way.”

The monsters are increasing. This meant that we had to be more careful about hiding our presence, but at least we were on the right track.

‘The entrance is over there.’

The demons were spread out all over the mountain as if they were vigilant. When we looked at their movement and the singularity they were looking at, there were overlapping parts.

where the boundaries are tightest. There I saw a cave passing through Mount Merkon.

Berge quietly threw himself into it. The Demon King’s stealth skills, developed at the Demon King Military Academy to kidnap princes and princesses, were so advanced that not even a single monster could notice.

The cave was dark. There was only one passage, and it smelled damp and disgusting.

The cave was deep. I couldn’t face other monsters or demons all the time. But something was changing.

slightly warmed up. It was hot not hot.

The gloomy darkness brightened softly. The red heat became light, illuminating the inside.

“Move quickly!”

At the end of the passage, a huge cavity was visible. As if the whole interior of the mountain was exposed, a dim light came through the high ceiling with no end in sight.

and its center.

There was a huge lake. A red lake made of lava. A scorching heat was raging.

The main character of the voice was above the surrounding rocks.

tiger beast. The gigantic size of over 3m stood out. Blue demon eyes peeked out from among the orange fur.

‘Advanced demons.’

Berge clicked his tongue.

In the realm of the demon lord they serve, a higher-class demon who is helped by a magi.

A Demon Lord who is severely restricted by the distance from the tower.

The difference is huge. After all, this is their home ground. If you are wasting time, even for a moment, you will be at a disadvantage.

can’t fight don’t even fight

Berge’s eyes looked elsewhere.

red lake. There was a strange feeling that could not be expressed with a simple word of red.

The lava was bubbling.

Mana overflowed.

It was not unusual at first glance. It was a tower area, and despite the abundance of demons and demons, the mana seemed to be larger.

‘There…’

There it is.

There was another road around the lake. No, it was more like a ring than a road. The moat, which was artificially dug around the lake, was gradually increasing its perfection.

‘These are grizzly bears.’

Dozens of beast-type monsters overflowing with power dug the soil and threw them out. Higher demons were commanding them.

I was just guessing what it was used for.

That lava is no ordinary lava. No matter how much Drakson you are, unless you are resistant to fire, you cannot enter.

So it will be dug up. Dig a moat large enough to hold all the lava in the lake and drain the lava.

Where the lava disappeared, the hidden truth will be revealed.

But that’s it.

‘In the case of Drakson.’

Unlike the beast that solves everything by force, Berge had resistance to fire. No, it was correct to say that it was power.

Berger caught his breath. He stopped breathing and secretly surrounded the magic to strengthen his body. muscles are inflated.

“Who are you?”

The moment that goes beyond that and is discovered by a higher-level demon.

quaang-

Berger smashed the ground.

Unbearable crumbs bounced all over the place.

Before the demons and demons even reacted, the new version of Berger went into the lava.

buzz-

A scorching heat struck. Everything I was wearing melted away. Magi responded to the extremely pure energy of mana.

Two powers that were close to opposite sides engaged in a fierce conflict.

Everything was cut off in the strong flow of mana. Neither the high-level demons’ shouts nor the screams of demons could be heard anymore. Their magic was not felt.

The pain was intense. Berger clenched his teeth at the intensity he felt for the first time since becoming a Demon King.

Enduring the pain in his head, he slowly swam through the lava.

And finally found it.

With similar colors and auras, something blurry that could not be recognized unless you paid close attention to it was visible.

Close to 5m in size.

Feathers made of outstretched wings and flames.

it was a bird

it was a corpse At the same time, it was a living organism.

found.

There is a bird of fire in Araine.

A bird that lives eternally by throwing itself into the lava and igniting a new flame.

People called it a phoenix or phoenix.

that body.

No, the bird’s body waiting for a new time.

He was asleep in the lava.

“By the way···.”

Suddenly, I had a question.

After a long wait, Draxson got his hands on Phoenix. I ate it and got strong power.

“When a beast meets a flame, it has to be grilled, why is it getting stronger?”

Before the return, and now. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it.

But that’s not what’s important now.

Berger reached out his hand.

That moment-

Aaa-

with an intense beam of light.

Lava erupted.

The volcano erupted.

* * *

Back in time a little, around the time there was a battle between Berge and Max.

The magic that Berge was determined and poured out was more intense.

The wave spread beyond the realm of the Demon King to the vicinity of Tarta.

“··········!”

Deiran, who was hunting monsters near Tarta, raised his head. The fur all over his body stood up.

‘It’s a demon.’

The hero’s senses felt the power of the natural enemy and cried out.

It was quite a distance, but that made it even more creepy.

This is because Maggi, who clearly tapped his senses even from a distance, was not at a level he could afford.

“Why?”

The mercenaries who went out hunting with him found his behavior strange.

“Let’s go back.”

“Yes? I have yet to catch only 20 Lizardmen. Suzy needs to catch at least fifty.”

“There are demons. He is also very strong.”

“Are you a demon? No way···.”

Draxson and Ormus acknowledged each other’s realm. Ironically, for that reason, Tarta was a good hunting ground that was full of monsters because of the Demon King, but did not have to worry about the Demon Lord.

“We felt nothing.”

“Are you arguing in front of the hero right now? Do you think I’m groping? What a great guy!”

The mercenaries crawled at Deiran’s actions, who were pale and screaming, recognizing the seriousness of the situation.

“I will go.”

“let’s go! Withdraw!”

The mercenaries left the bodies they had dismantled and began to hurriedly return the way they came.

It was unfolding all over Tarta, and the jungle of Tarta, which would normally be overflowing with warriors and mercenaries, was empty.

And the city, Tarta, turned upside down.
