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

051. Each situation (2)

The Demon King of the Beast is dead.

The news began to spread when the elite of the Akan Kingdom completely disappeared from the royal capital of Ormus.

“The hero, Roselle Chartres and the Red Chloride Raid, and Hillen Cargill and the Knights of Ormus united to defeat the Demon King.”

The official announcement of the kingdom of Ormus. As agreed to, they floated Roselle Charter, while hiding the existence of the Akan Kingdom Army.

But no one genuinely believed it.

“The Knights of Ormus?”

“Weren’t the elites already annihilated?”

The heroic journey, which had failed once and was pushed back, was accomplished at night, like bread baked in a lightning bolt. If you don’t think it’s weird, that’s weird.

“Ormus has no power to defeat the Demon King.”

“That doesn’t mean that the military has moved.”

Someone intervened. And the question was raised whether that someone was the Kingdom of Akan.

It was natural. It was not officially announced that Roselle Chartres had a relationship with the Kingdom of Akan, but it was a secret that everyone who knew it knew.

[The Kingdom of Akan has nothing to do with the collapse of the Tower of the Beast.]

[The kingdom of Ormus did not receive help from other countries. It was great to support the good artifacts in the Werft Kingdom.]

However, the two kingdoms remained ignorant after the nail was nailed down.

The question still lingered, but people’s curiosity spread elsewhere.

“Why did Werft support Ormus with Artifacts?”

“How proud those dwarfs are. You gave it to the beggar country for free for humanitarian reasons? Say something that makes sense!”

“There are people who say they saw Louise Werft at Ormus.”

“You said you turned a city upside down?”

People’s eyes turned to Werft. And the party to the rumor was kneeling with their mouths shut.

royalty.

Built deep underground, it was the dynasty of the Dwarves. Instead of allowing sunlight, the light from the magic bulb gently swept Louise’s face.

Whoa.

Louise trembled at the sound of a deep sigh. She shook her head anxiously.

“···sorry.”

“…a little bit, I tried to get over everything.”

A bitter voice was heard.

“I know what you are thinking and what qualifications you have. Sister, even if I never thought so, you didn’t listen.”

“·················ogue.”

“I tried to give you everything you wanted. I hoped that she would grow up brightly as a princess of the kingdom. But I was wrong.”

Rather, I should have been a little more strict.

The man clicked his tongue.

“Because of their beating, they dedicated their great wealth to Ormus. The warriors of the kingdom shed meaningless blood.”

It wasn’t a rebuke or anything, it was a calm uplift.

“Are you satisfied now?”

“…Abama.”

“Apologize directly to their family. Take your property and give it to them. They are dead because of you.”

“Yes.”

“And be sober.”

“···Yes.”

There were many things I wanted to say.

Or you haven’t caught Logger Friedree yet.

If that bastard of Ormus hadn’t attacked, it wouldn’t have gotten this far.

But he made no excuses. The king knows these facts. And that didn’t make her faults go away.

It was true that he went too crazy with Logger Friedree. It was clearly his own mistake.

“Go and see.”

“Yes.”

Louise disappeared with droopy shoulders.

The king’s hand trembled at that sight.

“no. Stay.”

“…isn’t it sad? How hard is that little child. Go ahead and say a word of kindness…”

“This is clearly Louise’s fault. You have to make a distinction between public and private life.”

“There is no such thing as blood or tears. It’s your brother.”

“Before being my brother, I am a sinner who caused great damage to the kingdom. Your Majesty is like this, isn’t it that Louise is turning into a fool and going out of business?”

“Looking at my brother, I’m crazy about sinners! bad guy! And look at those slender arms and legs! It’s as dangerous as it looks like it’s about to collapse right now, so how can you not be kind to me?”

“ha.”

The prince touched his forehead. Of course, when he saw Louise, he wanted to hug him right away.

How can you carry an ax with those slender arms and legs?

But not this time.

“Your Majesty, the dwarf warriors were sacrificed meaninglessly in foreign lands. If Louise had not been a princess, it would have been the death penalty.”

“You’re going to have your brother executed! Such a goyan bastard! Are you saying that you are still my brother?”

“You don’t mean that!”

It’s like this kind of arm break.

The prince grinded his teeth.

“Anyway, don’t go near Louise for the time being. Don’t talk friendly. We need to take this opportunity to change our habits.”

“Are you a king?”

“If you give, there is nothing you can’t do.”

“Find him.”

“Are you talking about Logger Friedree?”

“Isn’t it because of him that Louise left the kingdom?”

The king growled. A frenzied speculation flowed out. Although he loved Louise, he was still the best warrior of the Dwarfs.

“I will catch him and put him in front of Louise.”

“···of course.”

The prince also agreed.

“I will move on my own.”

“You mean?”

“I have something to ask you. How can you run away from such a kind and delicate child?”

“I mean that!”

“If you are not worthy, I will charge you for it.”

“Right!”

The King and Prince cursed Logger Friedree.

“Ech. oh, it’s cold Is the door open?”

The logger who was remodeling the first floor of the Demon King’s Tower wore a thick coat.

* * *

Hillen Cargill closed her eyes and breathed quietly.

As the tower of the beast collapsed, rumors struck the continent, but he was relatively one step away from the source.

Most of it was due to returning to Roselle Chartres and the kingdom of Akan behind her.

Of course, Werft’s Louise also played a part.

‘Weak Taewee Tae.’

When demons or demons are killed, their magical energy is replaced by dimensional power and absorbed by the hero.

Even if it’s not simple training, it’s a way to become stronger.

Therefore, the warriors wish to kill more demons, demons, and demon kings.

But did I say it was overpaid? Hillen was clearly realizing that it was a problem even if it overflowed.

There were two powers in his body.

One for mana hearts.

And the other one in Auror Hall.

The former was obtained when the demon king of lust was killed, and the latter was obtained by beheading Drakson.

It was fortunate that he was a magic swordsman.

Just as each human has a different energy, so did the Demon King. The two forces, the same but different in essence, were located in different places, but they were completely out of control and were like bombs that could not be detonated.

‘The magic of the demon king of lust is close to mana. Conversely, the demon king of the beasts is an aura.’

It was a difference in attitude.

‘If only I could make this my own.’

Maybe you can change the name of the greatest warrior in history.

‘Maybe there is a way to escape from the demon king’s beast.’

There was no way to get rid of the restrictions in his head right now, but he didn’t know if it would happen if his status rose.

“Whoa.”

Healen, who had captured Mana and Auror, opened his eyes. As if waiting, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

The opponent did not hide his presence, so he was not embarrassed. Roselle Chartres came in.

She frowned at what she didn’t like.

“Give it up.”

“What do you mean?”

Roselle Chartres threw the paper.

– I’m leaving for some reason. Leave the promised price to Hillen Cargill.

“What’s the price…?”

Suddenly, I remembered the agreement between the two of them to include him in the Brave Squad.

‘Mana.’

It is also pure, and unusual mana resembling a spirit. Berge pulled them out as they were available and handed them over to Roselle Chartres, and promised to do it one more time when the bravery was over.

‘But I…’

didn’t you get anything?

Hillen realized.

That this damn demon king didn’t want to give it to him, so he passed everything on to himself and just bounced around.

“You seem to have misunderstood something…”

“Give it up.”

“. . . I have received nothing.”

“Don’t test my patience.”

Roselle laughed. Hillen got goosebumps.

“…really I didn’t receive anything.”

“Then did I write this letter secretly? To persecute you, you kidnapped that bastard too?”

“It doesn’t mean that.”

“There is one thing you have to tell me. ‘I will.’ And there’s one thing you’ll do for me. I will give you a reservoir of mana.”

···gulp.

Hillen swallowed dry saliva at the rising ominousness.

“I’ve been so busy with post-processing for the past few days that I haven’t been paying attention. yeah right So I forgot for a while. In fact, I barely made the time right now. I have to attend a guild meeting soon.”

As I was organizing my paperwork to attend the meeting, the maid ran and informed me.

“Did the fail disappear?”

I remembered what I had to get later.

mana. Mana of pure flame.

“But the room was empty.”

There was no warmth, nothing, nothing in return for her.

Only one note remains.

“I know that? That note saved this mansion.”

He barely suppressed the anger that was about to explode.

I was angry that the talent I was supposed to receive as a member of the Red Chloride Squad disappeared, but I decided to take it and think about it.

“But you don’t know?”

you didn’t get anything?

“I mean. I hate people who cheat on me the most. But what I hate more than that are the people who took mine.”

hard-

Roselle did nothing. However, the things in the mansion began to shake by the mana who responded to her emotions.

“Calm down for now. I will contact Fail once…”

“Calm? It’s not just words. Wouldn’t it be convincing if you tell me what you need to give in front of my eyes and talk about it?”

Hillen hurriedly took out the crystal ball. Infused with mana fiercely.

‘Take it, take it, take it, please take it!’

5 minutes like that.

“·················ogue.”

“die!”

That day, half of the mansion where the Red Chloride raid was staying was burned down.

And in the Red Chloride raid, there was an achievement called Fail.

* * *

“…Draxon is dead?”

The man who had been sleeping late at night grinned.

No way.

“···how?”

I already have all the plates laid out. There are a lot of people in this world who want the Demon King to die, but there are also many people who want the Demon King to live forever.

It was also the latter.

The Demon Lord is a necessary evil to help.

It makes governance easier, so you can rest assured that you can take responsibility if problems arise.

“The Heroes’ Guild did not move.”

“Of course it is.”

How much did you take and eat?

“In the official announcement of Ormus, it is said that they defeated the Demon King with all their might together with the Red Chloride Raid.”

“That’s bullshit.”

What failed even when it was normal is possible after losing Icheon’s elite? It was a bullshit that even a passing dog wouldn’t believe.

“Who are you?”

“I suspect it might be the Akan Kingdom.”

“Are there any traces?”

“There is not. That is why it is more and more the Kingdom of Akan.”

Only the Akan or the Jespine Empire could send all the power to defeat the Demon King in one night and make it disappear without even a mouse or a bird knowing.

“The reason is?”

“Roselle Charter is at the fore.”

“It’s Akan.”

The man clicked his tongue.

“What is the Hero’s Guild?”

“I just got a call.”

“Bring it.”

The butler brought the communication tool. When he injected mana, his face came to mind.

『Great…』

He went straight to the point without even hearing a greeting.

“Report the situation of the Heroes’ Guild.”

“The summons of the elders and cadres has been issued.”

“What’s the mood?”

“The prevailing opinion is that Akan is the culprit.”

Also, people think the same thing.

“These cheeky bastards…”

“The problem is that strong punishment is impossible.”

“Defeating the Demon King was fulfilling his duty as a hero.”

The charge that could be placed on the warriors who participated with Roselle Charter was, at most, that they disobeyed the guild’s waiting order and moved arbitrarily.

Even that was more likely to be covered by the ball that succeeded in subjugating the Demon King.

“therefore?”

“Yes?”

“No problem. can’t punish Is that the end?”

『············.”

“That’s your bowl. I know.”

「···I will make it!」

“·················ogue.”

“It is a great sin to break the instructions of the guild. The guild’s big plans have been shattered by Roselle Chartres, causing massive damage! How much less is she guilty of one or two sins!”

“I don’t think the other elders think so.”

“no. Obviously you would think so. I will make you think!”

“Hey, I thought it was trivial, but is it so sinful that it has to be done?”

“Yes that’s right.”

“Do the best you can.”

“of course.”

“I’ll pray for you.”

“Yes!”

Communication was cut off.

“Crude bastards. I said yes or no, and it was released without end.”

“The guild leader is not a good person.”

“Well, you are only the head of an organization. Contact the lake. I’ll see what they’re thinking.”

The smile that had been drawn on the man’s lips was erased.

* * *

It was a long outing, but not in vain.

Draxon died and the tower collapsed.

There is no more evidence that Berge went there.

‘I miss the face of Archduke Alkyne.’

What expression would you make when you heard this news?

I wish I could be angry and distorted if possible. Because Berge is the type of person who can’t live without being hurt.

sabak-

I stepped on the slope of Mount Erzest, which snows all year round.

‘After all, I am weak now.’

I felt a lot in this battle with Drakson.

He was different from the one he used to be. The warriors could kill him at any time.

It was uncomfortable, as if something was caught in his neck.

In this life, I wanted to focus on becoming the darkness of human beings. But what if the head is cut off by the hero who suddenly jumped out?

Everything he has accomplished is meaningless.

‘The most important thing is my power.’

I was overlooking the essence of drawing too big a picture.

‘I have no choice but to pay off the debt right now, so I have no choice but to find Erzest’s elixir again.’

Or it wasn’t bad to kidnap another princess.

The wider the resentment and curse towards him, the more Magic Points you can receive.

‘Go into the tower and worry…’

Berge’s footsteps stopped. head turned

pure white snow. The faint screams of the monsters howling in the distance. There was nothing to see.

what you see

widely-

Berge killed his presence. At the same time, the presence of the opponent disappeared.

‘Look at this?’

The opponent was the master of stealth. It was completely assimilated with nature, eliminating its presence. Just like Berge.

‘Are you avoiding my senses?’

Even if it is the beginning of a mountain, the tower is not that far away.

Berge’s hair was dyed red.

And the waiting began. 1 hour, 2 hours. Two hours became half a day and half a day became a day.

crumble-

The man came out through his eyes.

‘Did you go?’

There were no signs of any noticeable signs around. The instinctive rejection felt by the demons.

‘It is at least a high-level demon. Are you sure.’

Black hair and black eyes. And the intense magic was never an insignificant demon.

Apparently, even though they were observing several kilometers from the outside, their eyes met. The horror at that time could not be expressed in words.

‘Once I confirmed that this is the path the demons go to.’

‘Maybe I might be able to complete the quest sooner than I thought.’

He stretched out and wiped the snow off his clothes.

At that moment, a feeling of rejection that I had never felt before reached an extreme.

“A warrior.”

“In what gap?”

“If you ask me which gap should I answer?”

Instead of an answer, black flames fell. The man hurriedly turned around.

Pulled an empty protest with nothing. The arrows of mana created in the air stretched out in a flowing curve.

Five feet in a row. The demons faltered.

“An equal number.”

The arrow bounced off. He stretched out his dagger to the flames that penetrated between them.

A long, elongated auror split the flames. A smoke bomb was then detonated.

The specially-treated hazy smoke obstructed the Demon King’s vision for a brief moment. And in the meantime, the man disappeared.

“·················ogue.”

Berge did not dare to pursue the fast-moving sign.

Because I couldn’t catch it.

That person was the fastest flying squirrel among the warriors.

This was the first time I had seen it in person in my past and present life. However, it was rare that a hero with stealth ability comparable to that of the Demon King and speed exceeding that of the Demon Lord was rare.

“Chorus, Daphner Philian.”

A person who is often referred to as an informant of the warriors.

“Looks like someone is really curious about the location of my tower.”

Well, it would be strange if the check didn’t come in slowly.

‘Is it Jespine or Hilderan?’

It was most likely one of the kingdoms of the two abducted princesses.
