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

059. Common Demon Lord

“Are you okay?”

“Okay.”

Actually it wasn’t ok.

Berger roughly wiped the blood flowing from his shoulder.

Hopefully I’ll meet the Daphner Philian here.

Daphner’s last arrow pierced the flame too lightly.

It pressed down on his skin and dug into his body.

The aura that exploded from inside almost revealed his magic. Looking back, it was a terrifying moment.

“Isn’t that a good level? I need treatment.”

Drops of blood that were dripping down suddenly turned into water. Ernap hurriedly summoned Nairuniel to the red robes.

“Not required.”

“However···.”

– right. I do not need.

Nairuniel pressed his face to the wound. Berge frowned in displeasure.

“What are you doing?”

– I’m really curious, but what did you eat?

Berge’s wounds were regenerating little by little, but surely.

– Have you ever swallowed a higher spirit or spirit king?

“Do you think it will be possible?”

– No, I don’t think so.

– There is no way for a spirit to make a contract with the Demon King in the first place, and it is impossible to eat it.

– But the energy is closer to the spirit…

– Maybe a refund?

Ignoring Nairuniel, who was alone in thoughts, he contemplated his body. Regenerating the body in real time was a mysterious realm that even some demon lords could not do. But it wasn’t just good.

‘Efficiency is the worst.’

Is it because the wound is quite large, or is it because of the remnants of an auror that prevents healing? Enormous mana was being consumed as much as the body was regenerated.

He grumbled at the extreme of inefficiency, and then agreed.

‘In the first place, just being able to use mana with the body of a demon is good enough.’

By the time it healed properly, I intentionally cut off mana.

“It’s not all healed yet.”

“Then you have to go back to the tower.”

He threw off the torn part and wrapped another robe in the subspace. Ernya followed.

“Are you going to the Geumgang Tower now?”

“Before that, there is a place to stop.”

“Where…?”

“There are certain areas that each of the demon lords should not touch.”

“It’s the same with humans. It is a line that must not be crossed.”

“Then it will be easy to understand. There is no Demon King who will hand over the royal family once kidnapped to another Demon King.”

“Are you proud of yourself?”

“It’s a matter of honor.”

“Actually, I heard that the Demon King of the Geumgang kidnapped me, so I went to rescue him, and it would be ridiculous without it. So, are you going to go standard?”

“standard?”

“It’s about forming a troop or raid group and attacking the tower. There must have been some kind of agreement with the Demon King of the Geumgang, so this isn’t the end of the bravery, right?”

“…that standard.”

I was traumatized for a while.

“right. We will form a raid and attack the tower formally. In the process, you and I will be erased, and the princess will be rescued by the raid.”

“The commander will be Hillen’s champion, and the crew will be the Red Hawk mercenaries, right?”

“I understand.”

“But then, Elena will return to the bosom of the kingdom.”

The rescued princess’s safe return to the kingdom is the ideal scenario everyone wants. But Ernap was not in the direction he wanted.

“The moment of returning to the kingdom is the moment when the 13th Princess is kidnapped for the second time.”

Helen and the Red Hawk are not responsible for properly returning to the royal road. At the same time, everyone’s carelessness reached its peak with a sense of relief that they had returned.

It’s the best time to get to work.

“Can I do it?”

“···········?”

“If the Demon Lord kidnaps Elena, she will be surprised. He’s a pretty weak kid.”

“I understand now why you hate the Kingdom so much, but every time I wonder if it’s all a trick or not.”

“I never once lied to the Demon King.”

“If I had known that you were the first princess from the first meeting, I wouldn’t have brought you here.”

“I never said I was Elena.”

“I never said no.”

“That’s because you didn’t ask.”

“That’s amazing. I didn’t ask.”

Ernyl avoided Berger’s gaze.

They arrived in the city, Filer. Originally, Filer was not enough to be called a city.

It is located on the hillside, so traffic is inconvenient and the surrounding area is full of rocks. It was only after the Demon King of the Geum River settled in the mountain range that Filer, a simple slasher village, developed into a large city.

As the warriors, knights, and mercenaries gathered one by one, the number of merchants trying to eat them increased. As the population grew, the town became a city of the kingdom and grew in size.

“A hero here, a hero there. It’s a den of warriors.”

The warriors did not recognize the Berge disguised as the power of the Phoenix. However, Berge felt the interfering power of a dimension that resided in the warriors.

“It’s a city for warriors.”

“The devil is being used to make money. After all, if something goes wrong with this dimension, it is definitely wrong.”

This was the case not only in Filer, but also in all the cities adjacent to the tower. In particular, Ormus was a national industry.

It is deplorable that the demon king who came to conquer the dimension was rather used by humans.

“…I’m not going to say anything. I am human, but now I need help from the Demon Lord.”

A white finger touched the necklace hanging from his neck.

“Now I have this. I don’t know if the demon lord who gets upset is going to explode my head.”

“Are you sarcastic?”

“I’m sorry. It must have been a long time since I went out and I was so excited.”

“There is only one mercy.”

“I’ll be careful.”

Berge found the pre-arranged place. The inn called ‘Shelter of the Stars’ was quite luxurious and crowded.

“welcome.”

“It must have been a reservation under the name of Granada.”

“Ah, no matter what, you are waiting. We will guide you.”

I followed the clerk to the annex. I met Granada and the Red Hawk mercenaries who were waiting there.

“Are you here?”

“okay.”

Berge glanced at the mercenaries that were built behind him. They were familiar faces, including Bark, whom he had been associated with for the first time.

“Not a single person has changed.”

“You know, it has a little bit of survivability. too much.”

“The fact that mercenaries have excellent survivability is a positive factor. Unless you give up your mission and run away.”

The mercenaries flinched. Berge, who indirectly issued a light warning, snorts. Ernyl tilted her robe slightly and approached Granada.

“Sir Granada. It’s been a while.”

“Long time no see? who are you?”

Granada stopped.

The face was clearly different. However, the unique mana and smell, the atmosphere was the same.

“What you think is right.”

“Are you crazy?”

He looked into the eyes of the red hawk mercenaries and whispered softly.

“What if I bring the princess out? What if I run away?”

“It’s not going to happen.”

“How are you sure of that? Yes?”

“Isn’t it simple to remember when you came to the Tower with Hillen Cargill?”

“···ah?”

“And the necklace around the neck is a shackle. Do you think you would have gone out without any countermeasures?”

“I’m sure you will do well on your own.”

“Your bastard has also grown nagging. What do the elves have in common?”

“Please don’t compare me to that bastard.”

Granada led them inside the outbuildings, leaving the mercenaries alone.

Tak, the door closed and I made three cups of tea myself. I made a light barrier with mana.

“What about Hillen Cargill?”

“I called last night that I would be there by morning, but there has been no reply yet.”

“It’s late.”

“I will be here soon. But do you really want to conquer the tower with these people? May the Demon Lord…can I tell you this?”

Granada looked into Ernap’s eyes.

“Does not matter.”

“I know that the Demon Lord has contributed to the conquest of the Tower of the Beast, but isn’t it another matter for us to conquer the Tower as the main body?”

“Did the Demon Lord conquer the Tower of Beasts?”

“It was.”

“Are you the same Demon King?”

“You are human too. But he helped catch Hillen Cargill.”

“It seems that demons also have complicated interests. I’m sorry. Continue.”

Ernya passed it on without a big deal.

‘Am I abnormal?’

There has never been a case where a demon king helped kill the same demon king so far. It happened for the first time, and it was a reaction worse than hearing a rumor that ‘a certain bard can sing well’.

If Granada hadn’t sworn to the World Tree, the rumor would have spread all over town.

“But by that time, the tower had already suffered a lot of damage from the first heroic journey. Second, there were also many warriors.”

“Now is?”

“Tell me what Twenty red hawk mercenaries, the demon lord, me, the princess, and Hillen Cargill are all.”

“Suffice. I have already made an agreement with Ugar.”

“Then I’m glad.”

“We are not going to go higher than the third floor. The princess will be in there and we just have to rescue her and come out.”

“Are you saying that it is an ice statue like a tower in the cold?”

“That is for Ugar to do. If you’re not an idiot, you don’t need to worry, I’ll keep you alive.”

“If it’s on the third floor…”

As it is the Tower of the Demon King, I could never look down on the 3rd floor as funny, but I wondered if something could be done with the Demon Lord, Senior Spirit Magician, and Hillen Cargill.

“3rd Floor···.”

Ernya nodded her head and reassured herself.

“Can I ask you just one thing?”

“Tell me.”

“It’s not something I’m going to say in front of Ernya, but why are you trying to save the 13th Princess of Hilderan?”

Even while climbing the same Demon King’s Tower.

“Because Ugar won’t let it go because of his pride.”

“Isn’t that what it means?”

“Because it is useful.”

“I heard that Princess 13 was born weak and unable to do anything.”

“That’s right.”

Berge looked at Ernyan.

“no.”

She shook her head.

“It is true that Elena is weak. It is true that he is sick, and most of the rumors are true. But it doesn’t mean I can’t do anything.”

“Are you saying the rumors are wrong?”

“There is nothing wrong with the rumors. But there is one lesser known thing.”

“What is it?”

smart-

Then, I knocked on the door from outside. Before he could say anything, the door swung open.

It was Hillen Cargill. and.

“Finally found it.”

The red-haired woman smiled, showing her teeth.

“…what is this?”

“This is Roselle Chartres.”

“I wouldn’t have asked that.”

“I’m sorry, but I couldn’t take it apart.”

Berge touched his forehead. I said I was late, did this happen?

“Are you doing this in front of people?”

“What’s going on?”

“What happened? I’m a debtor who came to pay the debt.”

“debt?”

“Have you ever seen such a shameless person? If you’re going to give me two, I’ll give you two, so why take one away?”

“It was.”

“Is that so?”

“I forgot.”

“Flash? Can I forget that you are human and throw one thing at my head?”

A scorching flame, unknown when it was created, heated the air.

“I will give you mana. How difficult is that.”

“Yeah, it’s not that difficult, so I’m getting hotter.”

“But not now.”

“You want to do it with me?”

“If you had followed Hillen, you would have heard why Hillen was here.”

“Did you say that you were going to try to attack the lower floors of the tower by forming a raid? But isn’t the raid too weak? When I arrived, I saw that there was only one mercenary corps, right?”

“So it’s impossible right now.”

“Okay, I understand.”

Roselle nodded her head.

“Then I will go with you.”

“Not required.”

“I need it. How do you know you’ll run away again? And it’s even more difficult if you die in a hurry.”

“I don’t die in a tower like that.”

“I’ve seen a lot of confident people. And there were more people who couldn’t see it now than there were people who kept seeing it.”

“Don’t compare me to those bastards.”

“It’s funny when you think about it. Rather, shouldn’t it be known as an honor? Do you think this Roselle Charter will join you in this frivolous raid?”

‘Certainly it is…’

It’s not bad.

I had the urge to break the neck that was arrogantly and forcibly driving the Demon King, but it was impossible.

Even if everyone in this position rushes in, they cannot catch Roselle Charter. He could inflict serious injuries, but he couldn’t completely prevent him from running away.

After that, everything you’ve built so far will crumble.

So Berge hid his teeth and properly considered her joining.

‘Actually, it doesn’t matter if you remove the leeches and do it slowly.’

There is also a way to attack the tower after giving it immediately and resting for a few days. But should I do that?

In the first place, his purpose wasn’t anything like Hillen Cargill’s raid experience. One of the reasons that the hero saved the princess, that Hillen saved the 13 princesses.

Whatever the process, it doesn’t matter as long as the result is good.

‘Anyway, even if Roselle Charter makes a fuss, it’s not my tower.’

The damage was entirely borne by Ugar.

And Berge was an extremely common demon king who did not like to see other demon kings doing well.

“good night.”

“Now it makes sense.”

“Oh, by the way.”

she laughed

“You said you were attacking the Geumgang Tower, so you brought all the Red Chloride raids? We will all be together.”

“That’s not bad.”

“Isn’t it suspicious that he was suddenly so friendly?”

“Let’s call it respect for the great Roselle Chartres.”

“I like that!”

The demon king and the hero smiled as they held each other’s hands.
