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

040. Misunderstanding

A phoenix that throws itself into the lava and turns it into a new flame is a revenge.

And Hwansu was a creature closer to a spirit than an animal.

Naturally, Phoenix’s corpse was also a kind of spirit body.

A collection of extremely pure and hot mana.

It was no different than a giant elixir.

However, Mana was a completely different power from Magi.

So Berge was going to return to the tower with the body. It was intended to slowly infect and eat the elixir stored in the tower, as if it were contaminated with magic.

Is there anything urgent Anyway, for the time being, there is no warrior’s blade towards him.

But it was Berger’s mistake.

Hwareuk-

Mana overflowed the moment he touched it. The heat of deterioration permeated Berge’s whole body.

Kwakwaqua-

A torrent raged.

‘What a crazy…!’

Mana was forcibly pushed in, and Magi refused to mix with mana.

Those who want to drive out and those who want to drive out.

The two auras showed their teeth towards each other.

bumped and bitten scratched and torn

The battlefield was the body of Berge. Muscles ruptured and blood vessels melted. The pain of crushing the bones came over.

Berge tried to control the two energy somehow.

A time like an eons, maybe a brief moment that was only a fleeting moment.

Mana pushed Magi away. knocked on the door of my heart

thump-

Dark blood spurted out.

The heart did not open the door.

All the magicians got up and got up. Weakness due to dimensional interference was not a problem.

Mana, who had no place to go due to the landlord’s territoriality, wandered. And then settled in a new place.

‘··········?’

Berger was astonished.

He had two hearts.

One is huge and the other is smaller.

Both contain magi, one as the main and the other as the secondary.

But now, an uninvited guest named Mana broke the door of the second heart.

The second barrier, acting as an auxiliary, was weaker and could not stop the phoenix’s tidal wave-like power in a situation where interference was limited.

My heart was burning hot. Like an explosion, it spread throughout the body.

My mind went blurry.

What appeared in between was an exploding volcano and itself floating in between.

Berge’s body was blown away with the volcanic eruption.

* * *

When he opened his eyes to the dampness he felt on his cheeks, Berge was buried in an unknown mountain.

All of his clothes were burned and naked.

“···go away.”

The deer that was licking its cheek fell astonished to live. He staggered and disappeared quickly.

Looking at the fussy tail, I wondered.

‘Are the deer coming? lick my cheek?’

No matter how well he hides it, he is a demon lord and an aggressor. It’s a different dimension.

If it were an animal with developed instincts, it wouldn’t come close to feeling the essential difference.

One step later, he recognized his own situation. recognized the state of the body.

‘Phoenix’s body was absorbed at will.’

During a territorial dispute with Magi, he gave up the first heart and settled on the second heart.

In the first heart, a larger amount of magic was wriggling than usual. A heart that swelled like it was about to explode was not particularly good news.

This is because all the expelled Magi have flocked to them. I felt a huge presence in the second heart that should have been empty.

It was hotter and more lively.

But strangely, the heterogeneous feeling of rejection as before had disappeared.

‘why?’

It is still pure mana itself. It was the Magi that filled his body.

However, the two forces did not collide even though they clearly existed in one body.

The reason soon became clear.

‘The door was locked.’

The uninvited guest was acting like the owner of the house. Contact with the outside was completely cut off so that the two different auras did not mix.

When I touched it with a mage, it burned up.

there was an error Berger grabbed his throbbing chest and clenched his teeth.

“You don’t seem to have a sense of who the body you are staying in is.”

I am the great demon king, Berge Deias.

All the Magi rushed towards the heart. He knocked on the tightly closed door incessantly.

It was nothing like self-harm, stabbing the heart with a magic sword.

But his crumpled self-esteem was more important than this kind of pain. The self-defeating feeling of being defeated by only one phantom mana made him angry.

And at some point.

The door opened. The mana of deterioration that had been sleeping in his heart poured out like a waterfall.

“···········?”

At the same time, Berge’s face was wrinkled at the sight of Magi crawling into my house regardless of the owner’s will.

But with the changes in the body that are taking place soon.

“···················································································!

he was astonished

* * *

The Magi that Berge exploded.

And Magi that boils in response to Drakson’s wrath.

All the warriors of Tarta felt two kinds of magic.

They found the lord of Tarta and told them the seriousness of the situation, and the news was sent to the Heroes’ Guild immediately.

The city was turned upside down, and the report went up to the royal road.

In such a situation, the princess of the wounded dwarves arrived.

“Demons and demons attacked us. The second prince of Ormus fought to the end to protect us, but was killed by a powerful demon. I wanted to bring a corpse, but…”

The warriors of Tarta were furious at the sight of Louise crying in the end.

“The prince’s revenge!”

“Wonderful punishment to the ruthless Demon King!”

The entire kingdom of Ormus shook.

“I will cut off the demon king’s head to soothe the prince’s soul!”

The king was angry and the ministers were angry.

Countless waves of people visited the heroes and guilds from all over the continent.

Warriors flocked to the nationwide conscription order.

People guessed that it was a solid explosion even if it happened.

* * *

‘What the hell is going on?’

Granada was living in Hortonwalk. Returning as the leader of the Red Hawk Mercenaries, he taught mercenaries and received materials sent from the top of the Golden Moon.

There were parts in the new order given by the Demon King to purchase elf slaves and send them to the Demon King’s Tower, and these were the materials for that.

Where there are slave markets, where there are many slave traders, and where there are many elves and places at auction.

The joy of being able to save his people and the sadness of having to sell his people to the demon king coexisted, but Granada believed that they would eventually understand his intentions.

Because it is much better to fight for the Demon King and get revenge on humans and become a free body than to become a slave and die miserably.

But when something happened on the continent, I couldn’t concentrate on my original job.

“Why is the demon lord of the beasts suddenly?”

Demon lords must be fearsome beings, but they were not absolute people who could never kill them.

Even the demon kings knew that fact, and for hundreds of years, coexistence that protects the close line has continued.

‘If it was the Demon King of the Beast, he was a good Demon King, right?’

At least to the best of Granada’s knowledge. If I hadn’t kept the good in the first place, I wouldn’t have been able to live now. Like the demon king of lust, even if his head was cut off, he would have been cut right away.

However, the matter was too large to be dismissed as a mere rumor.

In particular, the fact that the 2nd princess of Werft felt the threat of her life and that all the heroes around her felt the formidable magic was adding to the reality.

“High-level demons led dozens of demons and hundreds of demons to surprise us. The second prince of Ormus fought to protect us, but lost his life, and we managed to escape too.”

Louise, the princess who woke up after being stunned for two days, had many loopholes when digging into it in detail.

The biggest question was the sudden death of the prince by Demon King Draxon, who had been locked up in silence, and it was funny that the second prince of Ormus, who was known for his selfish and greedy selfishness, gave his life for Louise.

Granada had never met Prince Max in person, but had heard quite a few rumors about him.

Did I say that he was an ambitious person who gathered forces and used everything he could to overcome his brother and become king?

Perhaps it’s not just Granada who are unbelievers. However, Magi was blatant to not believe completely, and Princess Louise and the dwarves were seriously injured.

In the end, King Ormus, who was furious, issued a mobilization order, summoned the warriors, and placed a quest in the Heroes’ Guild.

The warriors who smelled the work began to gather one by one to Ormus.

It was no longer a question of whether the Demon Lord Draxon did it or not.

‘Should I go too?’

He had to gather the elves right away, but when the brave journey to the Tower of Frigid began, it was his other task to assist Hillen.

But what if this happens?

Are you going straight to the Tower of Frigidity?

Or did the planned heroic journey take a turn?

Will Hillen become the captain as it is?

Is there a new hero coming out?

was questionable.

Then, the crystal ball rang.

“Are you in contact with the Demon Lord?”

“I don’t know because I haven’t done it.”

“You are still cocky.”

“Are you talking about something?”

“If you try to contact me, please tell me to contact you. And even though the bravery trip scheduled for the Tower of Frigidity has been cancelled, we should just stick to our mission for now.”

“cancellation?”

“It was just to show. If you have a stronger cause, don’t you need to do two jobs? Because of this, I am not able to take the position of the captain of the Brave Warriors, so I am a little pissed off.”

“…that’s unfortunate.”

Granada did not like this fake hero, but that part was sincere. It was even more so, knowing that the Demon King was expecting quite a bit.

“it’s okay. After all, there are plenty of opportunities. All the money I invested was provided by the water owner.”

The depiction of the demon king was quite insulting, but the attitude of the hero towards the demon king was quite appropriate.

‘Investment is also lobbying.’

Granada, who knows how the world of the hero works, clicked his tongue. Seriously, if you don’t have money, you can’t even act like a hero.

contact has been lost

“For the time being, I’ll have to focus on finding the elves.”

But no contact?

He injected mana into the direct communication port to Berge.

it was edible

* * *

“Say something that makes sense!”

Quang, the fist is smashed. The desk made of solid wood has lost its shape.

“I killed the second prince? You killed them all? Where are the bastards you released!”

“…it is expected that Princess Louise and the dwarves killed all of them to hide their wealth.”

“What a dog bitch!”

The Lycan rope standing next to me was hit by the slap. The breastbone collapsed and collapsed.

“I should have checked to the end!”

It was a pity that he did not pay attention to the intruder.

“Demon Lord, please hold on.”

“It was not enough to have the body of the Phoenix taken away, so I was accused of killing the prince!”

Phoenix’s body disappeared with the volcanic eruption. The overflowing mana swept around, killing all the grizzly bears, as well as erasing any traces of intruders.

“If it had been there, it wouldn’t have been this crazy!”

Shit. Drakson snorted.

In fact, more important than Phoenix was the death of Prince Ormus.

Since the princess of the dwarves declared herself the culprit, the next play was no different from the usual play.

The Demon King kidnaps the prince and kidnaps the princess. The warriors, the kingdoms tolerate them to some extent.

But there was a line that should never be crossed.

killing the heir to the throne.

Turas Hindler, the demon king of lust who touched the evil of the kingdom and touched the first prince of the Akan kingdom, disappeared like that.

“The warriors will move and the bravery will take place.”

He was not one of many princes, but an important figure who fought for first and second place in Ormus. he died

“Never, never die like a Turus.”

I couldn’t say for sure that I was going to die.

Objectively, Drakson was not weak. He was one of the strongest among the many demons and completed the Demon King Academy.

When he came to Arain, although he could not live like the demon realm, he steadily took care of the tower to release the interference.

Due to Alain’s situation, he could not live the ideal life of the Demon King he had hoped for, but he sharpened his sword and prepared as much as he was lying flat.

Drakson’s eyes gleamed with life.

“Pick up a list of top-ranked warriors who can join this bravery.”

“Pay attention to the bravery and report to me everything about where, how, what size, and how they move.”

“Also watch the movements of Ormus and the Heroes’ Guild.”

Casey shook her head without saying a word. At Drakson’s beckoning, she left.

Drakson quietly pulled out a communication port.

“Damn it, I’m the Demon King…”

Even so, if there is even a glimmer of hope, you should unconditionally hold on to it.

Quickly, he grinded his teeth and injected magic into it. After a while, a response came from the other side.

“Everything is wrong. I never killed the second prince of Ormus.”
