120 – Monster Subjugation
“The Great Devil and the Demon King’s Commander?”
Why are those two names popping up here all of a sudden?
To be honest, in the past, in the process of killing the demon king, I met two great devils and four executives, so it’s not a very unfamiliar name, but at least they aren’t the ones that will pop out here.
Excluding Clema, who is playing with the demon king in my image right now, there are no demon king army officers in my memory who would come to this territory.
“A new Demon King’s officer? .”
Then there is only one possibility.
A new demon lord cadre who pushed Klema away and took the position of cadre of the cadre of the lord’s army, or who defeated another cadre of the demon lord’s army, is staying in this territory.
“Why are you so lucky? .”
I was thinking of just catching monsters in moderation and going back.
It would have been the best if I could have earned coins as a bonus, but there’s no way there’s such a comfortable way in my life.
“Ciel.”
Whoa!
At my words, Ciel appeared with his obsidian-like hair blowing as the black demonic wind blew, looked around, and then let out a big sigh.
“Does a guy like you have to bring about an incident like this to calm his mind?”
“Now this is the constitution. Just move on.”
Shaking his head at my words, Ciel put the information I needed into his mouth.
“My name is Necros. From the time I was inaugurated as the Demon King, he was a talented person who was admired and trusted by a small number of people.”
“A small number of people?”
If you are originally called a talented person who is admired, isn’t it right that you should be trusted by a large number of people?
“Yes, his ability was great, but he couldn’t be trusted by everyone. Because his ability was the ability to handle corpses.”
“A necromancer with the ability to handle corpses?”
“Yes, among humans.”
Necromancers are also widely distributed among humans.
In the beginning, you can only summon trash-like monsters such as common skeletons and ghouls, and monsters are attracted to the smell of summoned corpses, making it one of the hardest jobs to develop.
Brings back heroes of the past to the level of their heyday.
Even though the soul may not have reached maturity, if there are traces of his body, just as I was able to summon the dead Neros, they can summon the body of a hero, so not a few people go the path of necromancers to achieve that futile dream. Branch
Of course, there is only one successful case called the one and only strongest necromancer.
“He treats the body. There is no hesitation in using not only the corpses of ordinary monsters, but also the corpses of compatriots who have just died.”
“A theoretically infinite army?”
“right. As long as there is enough magic, an army of absurd numbers will come out even if it is a ragtag.”
“You don’t know about weaknesses? He said he had known each other since he was the Demon King.”
At my words, Ciel sighed and closed his eyes.
Looking at Ciel like that, I had a vague question.
“But why are you helping me?”
Now that I think about it, Ciel has no reason to help me.
On the contrary, it wouldn’t be strange if he led the Demon King’s army to victory while hindering me, but he strangely helps me.
Like someone who is in debt.
“There is no reason.”
“No?”
The words that came out of Ciel’s mouth went way beyond expectations.
No, rather, I don’t know if he said he was using me to test because he couldn’t beat himself properly, but it’s unexpected that there’s just no reason.
“right. If there is, it must be sympathy.”
“sympathy?”
Does Ciel feel sympathy for me?
Rather, shouldn’t I sympathize with Ciel, who was mechanically killed by me?
“Perhaps that was the intention of the goddess, but since I saw it myself, how can I not sympathize?”
“ah.”
I said it was the sight, but I can tell what I saw without thinking deeply.
“Rather, I’m on the side of dying gracefully. The powerlessness I felt when I died was so hard that I really wanted to die, but compared to the pain you actually went through, it was at the level of child’s play.”
After saying that, Ciel placed his hand on my chest as if he had finished what he had to say, then smiled lightly and disappeared.
“And the demons are the weak meat anyway.”
… Seriously, there are demon lords who are really not like demon lords.
“We’re going to subdue the demon king army again here.”
That’s right, it’s good to eat just a few accessories from the Demon King’s army anyway, so there’s no harm in fighting.
[‘I want to sleep with all women’ applauds your spirit.]
[If ‘I didn’t want to remain as a virgin’ was not a man, I would like to accept you as my follower, and I look at you with regretful eyes.]
[‘I don’t want to sleep with men’ asks how about a game later.]
“You guys are a little self-respecting.”
The atmosphere was good until just now, but it ruins it in one go.
*****
Before killing the demon lord’s officers, he first set out to subdue the monsters.
From the beginning, the main reason was to subjugate the monsters of the Press family, not to kill the executives of the Demon King’s army. I was thinking of earning points to save Rianne, but I’m realizing that life really doesn’t work out the way I want.
“Are those things?”
“Yes, these are the academy students who will follow us this time.”
“Haa, if we are the next head of household, do we even have to help clean up the kids who don’t even know who they are?”
The mental state of the knights went to taste.
If you’re an ordinary academy student, but if you’re an S-class student from the arcade academy, most knights don’t treat you much different from other knights.
Although he lacks practical experience, being an academy S-class student is no different from guaranteeing his talent and ability.
Moreover, even though we are in the first year, there is not a single person here who does not have practical experience.
“Be quite. Still, it can’t be helped that it has already come. Do your best to protect it.”
“Sheesh… that sucks.”
What’s f*cked up is more like me.
The appearance of the knights has the mindset of a typical old man.
If you are older than yourself, you have a lot of experience, so you think you are stronger than yourself, but the world is not a place where you improve your skills in proportion to your effort.
“A monster has appeared.”
When the knight standing in the vanguard announces the arrival of the monster, the other knights get nervous and prepare to fight, but there is no need for that.
“die.”
If it’s that kind of rubbish mob, Neros’ command is enough.
As soon as they heard Neros’ words, the personnel who knew about the spirit of the word relaxed their bodies. However, the knights clicked their tongues again when they saw us relaxed without knowing that the monsters were dead.
“… I don’t like it.”
“That’s what I mean. It’s not the plants in the greenhouse, and I really don’t like what we’re trying to protect.”
When Minel and Lane say that they are annoyed, they look at two of the knights with a sharp look, but Lane and Minel do not budge.
Looking at that, it seems that he is a nobleman who became a knight.
One of the narcissists who considers himself a nobleman and a knight to be a great person.
It’s a typical skaya sub-compatibility.
“Cruyeack!!!”
Goblins as big as young orcs came running, wielding clubs the size of their arms.
The knights straightened up and corrected their form, but before that, Minel and Rain slowly walked away.
“!! What are the two of you doing… .”
Fire!!
Pure white flames came out of Rain’s body and wrapped around his sword. I wanted to applaud him for being great while looking at Rain, who was handling Baek Yeom, but he seemed to be setting the mood, so he quietly shut his mouth.
Minel, who looked at Lane, also raised her pure white magic, which felt like divine power, and held a pure white sword with her other hand.
And seeing the two face to face… I ran towards the goblin without a sign.
“… Huh.”
A sigh flowed from the mouth of the knight standing at the front.
Anyone who sees this scene for the first time cannot help but exclaim in admiration.
Rain completely blew the upper body away with pure white flame, and Minel perfectly split the goblin in half with the fastest swordsmanship.
Either way, the knights could not hide their admiration with their mouths wide open, forgetting what they had just said.
“I am cleaner.”
“Well, if you weren’t cleaner than me when it comes to dealing with flames, wouldn’t it be okay to be Lian’s maid?”
“If that’s the case, does Knight-nim say you lose to a maid with swordsmanship?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Like you, I focus on skill, not power. It is a foolish idea to put them on the same line when they are playing in a completely different dimension.”
It would be more perfect if we didn’t fight over there.
As I watched Lane and Minel bickering, I thanked Rianne for bringing something that could be exchanged for coins like claws, and I moved forward.
There are still too many monsters to catch.
