131. Time of the Four Heavenly Kings
Read at noblemtl.com
Martin forcefully lifted his blurry vision.The escort knight, Lord Cawell, who had been captured by the Demon King, was concerned about him.
“Sir, are you okay?”
“Of course.”
It wasn’t okay. I’ve gone through so much in a short time.

My head was confused, my feet were drenched, and a blizzard swept through my body.Fortunately, the monster did not come out, but by itself it ate his mind and body.
‘The Demon King of Flames.’
Berge Deias. Martin pondered the Demon King’s name.
‘At first, I thought it was a high-level demon. But it was the Demon King.’
At first, I was so flustered that I didn’t notice it properly, but I quickly noticed it.
‘The demon king came out of the tower and kidnapped me.’
So far it can be. It is not surprising that the Demon King directly kidnaps the royal family or the imperial family.
However.
‘Isn’t the demon king supposed to be waiting for the heroes at the top of the tower?’
That was the rule of the Demon Kings. It was what they were talking about as standard.
Of course, there is room for compromise. The reconnaissance corps is not a warrior corps.
‘I don’t know if the standard that the demon kings have to follow because of that allows some, or just the devil’s whim.’
The two differences were significant. That there is a demon lord who does not follow the standard is denying everything up to now.
It wasn’t the only concern.
‘Kaede.’
She said that she made a contract with the Demon King. Instead of being under the control of the Demon King for 5 years, I decided to guarantee my freedom after that.
It looked fine for now. But the opponent was the Demon King. Will it be fully preserved?
‘If you kill Kaede, I will never forgive you.’
When I was young, my mother and the third empress died of illness. And in his father’s indifference, he had to compete with his brothers and sisters.
In such a situation, he was the only reliable blood relative. It was more than just blood.
‘I said I made an oath with standard and the first demon king…’
For once, you just have to believe.
For the Demon King and Demons, those two are the same as the World Tree to the Elves.
Unlike the World Tree, I don’t know if it has any coercive force, but at least in terms of symbolism.
‘You must become the emperor.’
But I can’t believe it. In order to liquidate this inappropriate relationship that has been disadvantageous from the start, it must be an equal relationship. must be emperor
‘And until then.’
It should be for the Demon King as much as possible. You must stop the demon king’s subjugation.
for yourself too.
Also for Kaede.
That way the Demon King will help him and won’t harm Kaede.
‘I don’t know what kind of butterfly effect it will give me…’
It was like giving everything away, but I didn’t regret it. If I hadn’t given it to you, I wouldn’t have had another opportunity like this.
‘Unless the Demon King is an idiot, I will not reveal the hand I gave to him in haste.’
Also, Lord Cawell was faint, so he couldn’t see the Demon King’s negotiations.
You only need to keep this secret to yourself.
“Your Majesty, these are footprints.”
The pouring blizzard partially covered it, but it was not perfect because it was so large. It was a clear human footprint.
“Where the search party is not too far away…!”
At that moment, my eyes soared. the shadow is gone
A gigantic Drake, hiding in the snow, appeared. Cold breath gathered through the gaping snout.
“majesty!”
Cawell pushed the prince away and wrapped the Auror around him.
thud-
But the expected shock was not. Only the corpse of Drake fell, split in half.
“majesty!”
Beyond that, the great warrior who killed the two demon kings shouted.
“I have been desperately looking for your Highness!”
he held out his hand The three princes held hands.
“Gong Hillen! Thanks to you, I survived!”
“I went all over the mountains to find your sire. I’m glad you’re safe.”
Hillen Cargill, who became the third prince’s lifesaver, smiled broadly.

Desire is the most basic driving force for human beings.
The lust for power, the lust for fame, the lust for power, the greed for money, the lust for survival, etc.
It was honor that moved the Daphner Philians.
A reputation for finding a tower that no one has ever found. The fame and power that come with it.
But now, the desire to survive has taken precedence above all else.
To live to gain fame, to live to enjoy power. Live and spend money
Hwareuk-
Black flames emit black light. A raging fire engulfs the surroundings.
Daphner shot an arrow. Five arrows flew in an instant, creating wind and pushing the flames away. A small gap allowed him to pull himself out.
But that gap didn’t last long.
Fireworks fall from the sky again.
Daphner turned his back and fled as soon as he encountered a higher-level demon. I couldn’t guarantee a head-to-head match, but I was confident in speed.
But it was also short-lived.
The demons spread their wings, and they could not escape as easily as before.
Flames fell nonstop from the sky, and even if it slowed down a little, the presence of the orcs drew closer.

My feet were heavy and the heat melted my skin. Still, he did not give up hope.‘It’s not far…!’
Found the traces of the search party.
‘The search party has Hillen Cargill, the elite of the Union. If we work together with them, we can kill those Four Heavenly Kings.’
Orcs driving themselves were easier. If it wasn’t for the Orcs and the Four Heavenly Kings in the first place, it would take some time, but even thousands of them could have been annihilated alone.
Daphner shot an arrow towards the sky and hurried his heavy footsteps.
‘If we go on like this…’
miss
Berger struck the arrow and sharpened his teeth. The piercing power of interference gnawed at his magic.
‘I didn’t think I’d be able to catch it easily, but I thought I’d be like a mouse.’
spread its wings flew in the sky
Still, it was not easy to catch up with Daphner.
The best searcher of all the warriors. It didn’t just stop at being fast.
He was quick and agile, and had a knack for hiding his presence and taking advantage of the terrain.
Hiding in the crevices of the rocks, in the snow, and among the trees, he disturbed Berger and kept the distance at a narrower speed than anyone else.
The Orcs couldn’t keep up even after riding the Frostwolf, and it had been a long time since they had turned into a chase with only the two of them.
The problem was that Daphner, the ten great warriors, was never to be overlooked by Berger.
The person who was not easy even to confront head-on decided to run away and became more and more anxious.
And that fear soon became a reality.
A group was seen in the distance.
Absolutely familiar, we’ve already met once.
Berge’s face wrinkled.
‘···already?’
I ran away like I was about to die, not caring about the back and forth, and I was chased like I was about to kill. In the process, night and day changed.
But no matter what, it would have led Hillen in a different direction from the Tower.
‘It was too late to find out.’
I put the first button wrong in the first place. You should have caught the tower before you found it. Otherwise, they should have killed the tower as soon as they found it.
But he missed Daphner because he was paying attention to the third prince, and he made him discover the tower, and even after making it, he gave him time to escape with ease.
Belatedly, I wasted time again to find him, and this was the result.
Fortunately, the other side has not yet found Daphner and Berge.
‘once.’
I glanced back. The orcs were long behind, but Ernya was chasing after them.
became
‘once.’
chance only once.
Even after that, as much as that guy.
Berge stopped. Floating in the air, he breathed in.
air is sucked in My heart was pounding. Magi gathered and compressed.
A huge dragon tree began.
The mountain shook. The artificial chi flow he created was soon captured by humans as well.
“Giant Magi…”
“Is that?”
“It’s a demon!”
“A demon has appeared!”
At the same time.
“Help!”
Daphner’s desperate cry echoed through the snowy mountains.
“This is Daphner Champion!”
“It’s Daphner!”
“You are being chased by demons!”
The search team found him late.
“Send the knights!”
“Stop the wizards!”
“Rangers, sniper demons!”
Urgent calls intersect. Martin shouted at Hillen.
“Gong Hillen! Help the Daphner Ball right now!”
But Hillen couldn’t help but hesitate.
It was because he knew the identity of the demons in the sky.
It was because he felt the anger he spit out, his magic energy gathering.
‘The demon king came out himself.’
There has never been a case like this before.
The Demon King he knew preferred to hide himself and manipulate him in the dark. The fact that he broke the way he had been maintaining since his advent was evidence of that much urgency.
why?
Just for one hero?
‘I found a tower…?’
Then everything is explained.
Berge clenched his teeth and chased after him.
The deep life, magic, and anger that he is revealing.
The problem was that the current Hillen was standing on the opposite side of that Berge.
Behind his back, he could feel the prince and prince’s urges. The knights start running in front of me.
The magic felt around Berge grew stronger.
Everything was pressure.
‘Come out…?’
If you go out and save Daphner, Berger will be furious.
Berge does not tolerate betrayal. Betrayal is a punishment, and punishment is death.
If you help Daphner, Hillen will die.
“Gong Hillen! what are you doing! Stop the demons now!”
But if they don’t, the prince and prince will be outraged.
There are demons in front of them, and there are warriors. There are warriors who are attacked by demons. Everyone came out to help Daphner, and there was no way he couldn’t help but feel strange.
Doubts will turn into doubts after the situation is over, and as the situation becomes more serious, doubts will turn into anger towards Hillen.
Why didn’t you help Daphner then? Did you not help him or actively repel the demons?
What, the princes of the empire and the princes of the kingdom, the elites of each country.
‘··········.’
Hillen bit her lip.
Help, don’t help, help, don’t help, help, don’t help, help, don’t help, help, don’t help
I felt like my head was going to explode.
“Gong Hillen!”
“Help Daphner Ball now!”
“Help!”
The imperial family, royalty, knights, wizards, and even the desperate calls of Daphner. Everything pressured him.
Blood dripped from his clenched fist.
And in the end I chose.
‘please.’
I just hope that the other person recognizes their urgency, the signal.
drew his sword

flash-
Lightning struck.
A disgusting interference force interrupted Berge’s breathing.
‘이 개새끼가···!’
The wriggling emotions made the flame shake even more.
‘Do you dare betray me?’
No, it was a signal. Just as an empty carriage roared, the lightning was an empty river with a large size.
It was Hillen Cargill’s struggle to live.
I can’t help it, so I’m just pretending, so please take a look.
‘Yeah, let’s skip it once.’
Hillen was important. He didn’t want it to be stamped out by the Jespain Empire and the realm and become a traitor to mankind.
So you too.
Know how to avoid it
Berge released the breath he had been holding back.
Towards Daphner’s back, which is rapidly moving away. Towards the search party approaching to save him.
black breath.
threw up
The dragon’s wrath exploded.
The world has turned black.
* * *
The blizzard cracked in the hot heat.
The horses screamed.
“Stop it!”
The wizards performed joint magic. A huge shield blocked the black flame.
───!
The shield shook. The blizzard disappeared due to the unresolved impact. In an instant, a vacuum was created.
blatantly-
The shield melted. The wizards vomited blood.
The shield is broken. A fire crept through the cracks. The knights swung their aurors.
cut the flame Aurors were also slashed.
The knights screamed. It melted, leaving no body behind.
Gripping Jig-
Blue lightning intertwined with black flames. For a brief moment, the flames stopped progressing.
In that brief gap, the protest that Daphner had pulled was released.
Ten arrows merged into one. A huge wind pressure sucked everything up.
Wedge eh eh-
In the blink of an eye, the flames met. It pierced through the flames and flew in a straight line.
It seemed that way.
But it was the opposite. The wind was devoured by the flames. It made the flames bigger and fiercer.
A black storm raged.
The search party screamed.
* * *
A huge vapor created by the meeting of snow and flames covered the surroundings.
“·················ogue.”
There was a deep sense of exhaustion.
After the return, I did my best for the first time.
He squeezed all his magic and let out a breath.
To kill the Daphner Philian.
‘Did you kill me…?’
I couldn’t be sure. I didn’t even have the strength to check.

My fingertips were trembling. He didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger.But he tried to pretend to be calm. His target was only the Daphner Philian, and the power of his breath was concentrated on him.
Although the power itself was strong and the aftermath swept all around, the search force of the coalition was not weak enough to annihilate only in the aftermath.
Berger slowly descended to the ground. No, it almost crashed. Ernap, who had run in a hurry, caught him.
“Are you okay?”
“···okay.”
It wasn’t okay. He was screaming like his heart would explode.
Breath is a power, not just magic. It was a natural reaction because I used my powers too much.
“…a Daphner Philian?”
“I can’t see well because of the water vapor.”
“Orcs?”
“It’s coming. It will arrive soon.”
“If Daphner is alive, you must find it and kill it.”
“The Demon King is…”
“I need a break.”
“Can I sing you a lullaby?”
“Do you want to die?”
“Don’t worry, leave the rest to me.”
I will show you as the Demon King’s Four Heavenly Kings.
“I am Daphner Philian. You must kill him.”
“yes. Trust me.”
“…don’t leave it to me.”
For a brief moment, I was concerned about betrayal, but then I shook my head. If Ernya had tried to betray him, there were countless opportunities to do so.
‘okay. So it is possible to betray…
consciousness disappeared. Ernya carefully closed his eyes.
– Are you really going to kill the Daphner Philian?
“I am now the Four Heavenly Kings.”
– Quite sincere.
“At least, it’s more sincere than Nairuniel’s love affair. Bury the Demon Lord in the snow. so as not to be discovered.”
Ernya put down Berge. His eyes engulfed him.
“I owe the Demon King quite a lot.”
The Demon King said it was a deal, but to her it was grace. I was able to escape from a prison-like place, and thanks to coming to the tower, I got a great achievement in spirit art.
And he rescued his younger brother who had been kidnapped by the Demon King. Thanks to the Demon King, she began to learn magic, and her weak body was slowly returning to normal.
She received more than she gave.
“It is the right way to repay the favor.”
– If you were, then you would.
“Still, other people won’t touch it.”
She wasn’t a blood-crazed killer.
“Keep the water vapor as it is. Healen is also looking for you.”
– Confirm.
“From now on.”
She raised her mask.
“The Four Heavenly Kings.”
A sly smile crept across his lips.
“It is the time of the dark spiritist.”
