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

053. New Demon King

When the Demon King dies, another Demon King comes down as his successor.

Thus, each dimension always fills up five gardens.

But the process has never been quick.

Especially since no one would voluntarily come to the worst dimension of Arain if it wasn’t for Berger.

In that sense, there were not one or two strange things about this coming of the Demon King.

‘It must be the breath of Archduke Alkyne.’

Drakson Doldorf’s sudden death would have been completely unexpected for him.

Shortly before he died, he even declared that he would search the tower’s records, so it was not unusual to have doubts and do something.

‘You wouldn’t know I was involved.’

There is no evidence that the tower has collapsed.

Then it happened

“welcome. I was waiting.”

We arrived at the summit under the guidance of Aina, the lieutenant’s lieutenant. All the other demon lords were already seated.

Falsehood, cold weather, gold river and.

Berge’s gaze was fixed in one place. Where originally Drakson Doldorf should have been sitting.

Her long pink hair fluttered down to her waist.

The pure white skin was like white jade, and the beauty of the body was emphasized in contrast with the breathtaking black clothes.

A tail fluttered behind her hips, and small wings fluttered over her shoulders.

“You are the famous Berge Deias.”

eyes met

“nice to meet you. Am I the Queen of the Red Moon clan, Vivian Blunt?”

There was a provocative laugh. Dark eye makeup drew a natural crescent moon.

“… it’s Berge Deias.”

Berge sat down without saying a word. After a brief greeting, the full-fledged talks began.

“Now that we are all together, let’s begin. As you all know, Drakson Doldorf was hit last dawn. The elites of the Akan Kingdom joined secretly, and Roselle Chartres, Hillen Cargill, and even Ralph Schmidt were joined by the warrior squad.”

‘How did know?’

Jason Cochmundo was fully aware of the secret composition of the heroic act.

‘Have you planted a spy inside the troop? Or is there a connection with the upper layers of the Akan Kingdom?’

Either way, Jason certainly wasn’t easy. Fortunately, he was not aware of Berger’s existence.

“…Ralph Schmidt?”

Ugar raised his eyes.

“How dare that bastard drake Draxon…!”

“Please calm down. Unfortunately, that’s not what’s important right now. No matter how Ralph Schmidt joins, the Draxons I know aren’t as mortal as that.”

“You must have used a cowardly move! Humans can’t kill Draxon without that!”

“It’s the same idea with my wife. Aside from not liking him, Draxson’s abilities aren’t that light.”

Ugar and Reina agreed with Jason. Berge nodded his head slightly without saying a word.

“But there has always been a cowardly number of men. They do whatever it takes to win, and Drakson is already accustomed to such means. That is no excuse.”

“I’m not trying to make excuses either.”

Jason raised his one-eyed glasses and looked around the crowd.

“What I could tell from the link I had was that the Kingdom of Akan stepped forward. That the three warriors faced the Demon King. That’s all.”

A lot was lacking.

“Is there anyone who has a connection with the Kingdom of Akan?”

There was no answer. It was natural.

Reina Sordain had no interest in human quarrels, and Ugar Belbek was not capable of complexly planting spies. It’s been just over a year since he came, and there’s nothing more to say about Berger.

“················ Araine is very interesting.”

It was Vivian who suddenly intervened.

“It’s like the talks between demon lords, and finding the cause by agreeing that one person died.”

“As I said, Arain is different from the other dimensions.”

“know. So shouldn’t I be still? It’s surprising, but it’s not against the standard.”

The individualism of the Demon Kings was strong, so it was difficult to achieve, but there was no problem with the meeting itself.

“I am more than that.”

Blood-red eyes turned to Berge.

“This one is more interesting.”

A squeaky, huh, tickled my ears.

“The famous Berge Deias.”

Vivian got up from her seat and sat down on Berge’s desk. He lowered his upper body and let out a terrifying smile.

“What are you doing?”

“I was curious.”

“Curious?”

“What kind of demon do you think they are, that they have turned the world upside down like that?”

“How do you feel?”

She licked her lips.

“You look pretty good. Like it.”

He held out the opposite hand.

“Let’s get along well.”

“go away.”

“···yes?”

widely-

Berge waved Vivian’s hand.

“Do not touch my body recklessly.”

“Are you pretty rough?”

“Twice roughness can burn all your handsome hair.”

“Isn’t that usually what I’m supposed to say? You said you’re a nerd, aren’t you funny?”

But isn’t it?

“If you are too upright, you are rather sloppy. I’ve seen it a lot.”

“Have you come from conquering another dimension?”

“Among the demon lords in this position, I think the career is probably the most spectacular.”

There was interest in her eyes. But he soon turned his head.

“Hey, I think I’ve bought my hatred.”

“Don’t even gossip about it. And Jason, is that the end?”

“Is there something more you would like to share?”

“Draxon said that before he died, a higher level demon invaded his realm. I want to believe that it is not you.”

“I will be clear, but no. And I don’t think anyone here is. That’s why I didn’t say it.”

Their eyes met each other.

“Then there is nothing more to talk about. I will try to get up first.”

Reina got up first. Ugar and Berge followed.

“What will Vivian-sama do?”

“I want to hear a little more.”

“I’ll tell you anything.”

‘Bergera.’

Vivian stared at Berge’s back as she entered the portal.

‘Draxon can’t be so futile. No matter how much you think about it, the demons who said they invaded the realm are suspicious. Please investigate clearly and report to me. And Berge Deias, keep an eye on him.’

‘If any of the demon lords break the law, the one who insulted the standard is most likely.’

Archduke Alkyin’s orders passed.

‘I don’t think it would be particularly difficult to seduce once.’

It was full of boundaries, but it was easier for that kind of thing.

He smiled pleasantly.

* * *

‘great.’

Kaede completely penetrated T.O.P’s physiology within a few weeks.

The Demon King doesn’t come back well once he leaves.

The dark elf is locked in his office, doing something all day long.

When Logger concentrates on his work, he doesn’t know who’s coming or going until he hits one, and Ernyan is helping him.

And no one guards the tower, no one watches over her.

I have never seen such a poor tower in my life.

‘This tower is the first time…’

She took her armor and weapons. He glanced around and grabbed some beef jerky and water.

‘As carefully as possible.’

I couldn’t understand why I had to look into the eyes of the same princess, but it was right to be careful when looking at Ernyan’s actions so far.

‘Princess Ernyan is completely on the side of the Demon King.’

maybe it’s brainwashing

That fear made her want to escape even more. Because there is no guarantee that the brainwashing will stop at Ernap.

She walked slowly down the stairs to the third floor.

she didn’t know A small wind spirit was watching everything.

* * *

First floor. Kaede, who passed the logger who was obsessed with making magic cannons and reached the door safely, stopped.

didn’t tell anyone

I thought so. Until I saw the Princess of Hilderan standing behind the door.

The atmosphere was never favorable.

“…do you think you became the demon king’s dog?”

“It’s too much. We are in the same situation.”

“How did you know?”

Ernya smiled instead of answering. That ambiguity made Kaede more urgent.

“Please stay away. I have to get out of the tower.”

“If you leave, you die. Can you get out of Erzest?”

“It doesn’t matter if you can’t get out. If you become the Demon King’s dog and lose your honor as a knight.”

“You mean that you ran away because you didn’t want to get married?”

“…that is a different case.”

The story was coming and going, and it went right up to the point, but it wasn’t fully progressed. Before that, she ran away.

I wanted to become a hero before it became irreversible. She wanted to be recognized as a hero rather than a princess by becoming a member of the warrior squad that killed the Demon King.

I couldn’t deny that it was a stupid thing to do, since I was a prisoner of war. So you have to go Before you hurt yourself by doing something more stupid.

“I understand Kaede-sama’s situation. But I can’t let you go because of my own circumstances.”

joint responsibility.

Kaede couldn’t understand it, but Ernyat’s life in the tower wasn’t bad.

No, compared to the breathtaking royal palace, it was nothing short of heaven.

Limited but guaranteed freedom inside the tower. I hoped that this fragile peace would not be broken.

I didn’t even want anyone else to provide the cause.

That’s why I couldn’t let Kaede out.

“I don’t want to cut you.”

“But it sounds like you can ring it if you do.”

“·················ogue.”

Kaede expressed her will. Ernya sighed.

“…it seems like it’s time to go back to being a dark spiritist.”

“… a dark spiritist?”

There was tension between the two.

“Do whatever you want.”

It was the Dark Elf who broke it.

in which gap? No, how?

Kaede was startled. Like a frightened cat, he turned the tip of his sword and looked out.

“If you want to go, go. But you will be fully responsible for that. That’s why humans do it well…”

Gordon crossed his arms and chinked. Ernya took a step back. Kaede, who was paying attention, ran to the door.

“Isn’t Gordon doing a good job?”

Gordon stared at Ernyan. She quickly changed the subject.

“Can I do this?”

“The Demon King’s Tower is not a very poor place.”

Maybe it was because he met a strange demon king and led a comfortable life as a prisoner. The princesses seemed to have forgotten what this place was.

“When you come in, you want, but when you leave, you don’t.”

“The raid was very free-spirited.”

“…awesome. Nothing is perfect.”

Gordon, who had recently studied Araine to understand what the raid meant, coughed.

‘Damn dimension.’

No wonder the warriors regard the Demon King’s Tower as a hunting ground.

If you follow the standard, it will collapse. He was becoming more and more assimilated with Berge’s actions and thoughts.

‘If it wasn’t for this beggar-like dimension…’

They would have conquered the world by standard elsewhere. Why come to the only dimension where the standard doesn’t work?

“Even so, it’s not easy enough for a clumsy warrior to break through alone.”

rumbling-

As soon as his hand touched the door, soaring black flames hit Kaede.

“It’s usually like that.”

Kaede raised the Auror to protect himself. However, the black flame that received the demon king’s inclinations did not go out so easily.

“People have to experience it for themselves to face reality. I would never even dream of escaping again.”

“Can I help you?”

“It’s a shame, but first of all, since she’s a princess, if she dies, the Demon King will be angry.”

“Then you can’t. Solidarity Responsibility…”

Nairuniel sprinkled pure water. As the water droplets evaporated, the water vapor swirled.

Kaede, whose skin was tanned, gasped for breath. The skin was hot. But she raised her sword again.

Tseung-

Chloride once again struck Kaede.

Just before clenching his teeth and swinging his sword one after another, Gordon slapped the back of his neck to stun him. The flame has gone out.

“…after all, a hero is a hero.”

There was a small scratch on the door.

Gordon gently stroked the door. Stunning Magi repaired the scratches.

“Doesn’t this only work for demons?”

Gordon didn’t answer. Ernyan approached the door with a curious face.

“Don’t touch it. You will have problems too.”

Click-

The moment the white hand touched, the door pushed without any resistance.

A cold blizzard swept through the cracks.

“···uh?”

“···uh.”

“Why is this…?”

There was silence.

“I will close again.”

Hehe···.

Through the shaking pupils, Ernyl smiled awkwardly.
