179. Demon King and Prince
Ballaf Dislord Minor.
Aina Diaphrin is seriously injured.
Gillian Eint died.
Out of 349 heroes excluding stars, 13 were lightly injured. 71 seriously injured and 265 dead.
30,000 Jespine Empire troops, 4231 light injuries, 1998 serious injuries, 9327 dead.
Dormut Kingdom army 10,000, 1,340 light injuries, 689 serious injuries, 4391 deaths.
Of the 40,000 Allied Forces, less than half were healthy.
In fact, the coalition, except for the heroes, did not take much damage from the explosion of the mana tower itself.
The aftermath was limited to those close to the tower, and the more the barrier of phosphorus fell from the tower, the less damage it took.
However, due to the explosion, the camp broke up, and I fell into a mental panic at what I was experiencing for the first time in my life.
In such a situation, the vapor that occurred when the flame and snow met, or something that had gone beyond the vapor and became a fog, appeared, and countless monsters came.
It had become a situation where he had to leave the subjugation of the Demon King and worry about his survival.
No one said that we had to find the tower again. In sorrow and lamentation, in anger and despair, he became a loser.
In the early days when the demon king began to descend, humans did not respond properly to the demon king and had to watch them form a corps and destroy the kingdom.
However, such a one-sided war had not occurred for hundreds of years, beyond a hundred years ago when humans and demon lords began to find stability.
Hundreds of warriors and more than 10,000 Allied troops were killed.
The shock was when the warriors were defeated in the snowy field, when the army of warlocks was discovered in the Habsline, when the princesses and craftsmen of Werft were kidnapped, when the mainland of the empire was attacked by the demon king. was completely different from
more overwhelming.
It was more shocking.
The ripple shook the continent very violently.

【Shock! Ballaf This Lord and the Allied Forces failed to subdue the Demon King…! ]
[The great star, Gillian Eint, died…. The Hero of the Stars was once again killed by the Demon King. ]
【More than 200 warriors, more than 10,000 allied forces have been killed! why did they have to die ]
【Thousands of casualties, but what about the Allied forces? ]
【Ballaf Dislord ‘I have nothing to say.’ Avoiding responsibility… ]
【Balaf Dislord, failed again. Does the formula ‘great’ suit him? Questions that raise your head. ]
【The tower did not exist from the beginning. The fake tower lured the Alliance and the Brave Troops? ]
【Aina Diaphrin ‘We have fallen into a trap. In a very detailed trap that the Demon King dug. The Demon King of Chlorination is completely different from the Demon Lords of the past. We must watch out for him.’ After the failure, they excommunicated the remarks that exalted the demon king instead of their incompetence. ]
【The Allied Forces, are you calling in Horton and Korzen’s corps? ]
【The bomb that filled the fake tower, how did the demon lord get the bomb? ‘Isn’t it the Demon King of Fire who kidnapped the Dwarves?’ Some commented. ]
【Dragon Slayer who hunted dragons, kneel down to the Demon King of Fire. Is the Demon King of Fire stronger than the Dragon? ]
【There is only one hero who can defeat the Demon King of Flames? Strange rumors around the slums. ]
The Imperial Emperor, when two or more people gathered, they all talked about the same topic.
“Oh my God, hundreds of warriors die? Just because of one demon king?”
“There are hundreds of warriors, and if you add them all up, it’s over ten thousand. How incompetent would it be to suffer such damage from only one demon lord?”
“Is the Empire incompetent? You should also be talking nonsense. You defeated the Dragon Slayer who hunted the dragon! It’s just that the demon lord is strong!”
“It’s only been two years!”
“Think of what the Demon King of Fire has done during those two years!”
“·················ogue.”
“I’ve been playing with the stars like that for only two years, but what will happen after a little more time? we’ll all be ruined The Demon King will conquer the world!”
The man who was listening to the story lowered his voice.
“I hope you…”
isn’t it?
“…No. It can’t be! But look at the situation now! I’m not sure I’ll be able to defeat that Demon King!”
“There have always been rumors that the Demon King is strong. But it was subjugated. I can only believe that it will be the same this time as well.”
“Well, what can we do? Don’t drink or drink.”
The merchants struggled to suppress their anxiety with alcohol. The same thing happened all over the zodiac.
And on the other side of the Imperial Palace, the 3rd Prince Martin heard a more accurate story through his aides, not the newspaper.
“Really, my God.”
It wasn’t until the Allied forces advanced that I could not have imagined that this would happen.
I thought that the demon king’s confidence came from the fact that he could simply hide the tower and avoid fire.
But it’s not just damage, it’s a huge blow.
He thought he had been through a lot as a prince, but this incident transcended all of them.
‘This is one of the two.’
Whether the empire collapsed first, or the demon king subjugated.
No, it’s not about the empire. All continents will cling. To kill the Demon King of Chlorination.
‘The behavior of the liver will also disappear.’
You can really do your best. This incident awakened people’s awareness to that extent.
‘Will it really end with the Demon King of Fire?’
Once is only the beginning. The moment the seeds of anxiety that it can be repeated two or three times sprout, the blade will go beyond the Demon Lord of Fire and attack other Demon Lords.
‘It’s war.’
The precarious peace that had barely been established a hundred years ago would be broken.
As the Demon King continues to descend, the war will never end.
‘Oh My God.’

Martin wiped his face.His eyes went cold.
‘If that’s the case, I’d rather control the Demon King…’
After all, war is unavoidable. Human anger will not subside until the demon lords pay a proper price.
And because the proper price is the death of all of them, all of the demon lords will be reset.
‘If we can identify the newly descended demon kings in advance and fill them with a leash and control them so that they do not expand their power…’
‘No, if all the demon lords die, what will happen to Kaede? Damn, can you save me?’
That was then.
smart-
“Who are you?”
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty has summoned all the royal families and nobles.”
“I will go.”
All the imperial families and nobles of the empire began to rush up to the emperor.
And this was not just limited to the Empire.
* * *
“Martin Jespine, the 3rd Prince, please drink it.”

Martin entered the palace. He stepped on the red carpet and bowed his head to the owner of the throne.“Your Majesty, God, Martin Jespine has arrived.”
“Go into your seat.”
“Yes.”
He sat down in the corner of the royal family.
“You are welcome, Marquis of Bargan.”
“You are welcome, Baron Olai.”
“Five Princesses, His Majesty Nicolas Jespain.”
“The 4th Prince…”
Nobles and imperial families arrived one after another. The vast Daejeon was full of people, but not all nobles gathered like Hwangmyeong.
This is because the emperor’s summoning decree does not include the border lords who guard the borders, as well as the local lords.
Therefore, they were not waiting for the nobles to come later.
The emperor’s gaze turned to the empty seat.
Among the seats for the royal family, the highest.
“Is the first prince still there?”
“I got a call saying it was coming.”
“You’re late.”
The emperor muttered angrily. Everyone in Daejeon swallowed their breath at the sharp voice.
One second equals one hour.
That was then.
────!
A huge flow of mana was felt. Everyone in Daejeon flinched at the large-scale magic that enveloped the entire ecliptic.
“Ecliptic Guardian Magic?”
“Oh my God, is this?”
The gates of Daejeon opened. The servant’s voice announcing the arrival was not heard. The one who came in was also not the one they had hoped for.
A knight exclaimed urgently.
“Your Majesty, an intruder has appeared in the ecliptic!”
“intruder?”
“Yes! Currently, there is a hole in the protective bulkhead of the ecliptic and an intruder has entered the ecliptic. today···.”
“your majesty!”
Through the door that had not yet been closed, a wounded knight arrived bleeding.
He crawled towards the emperor’s throne.
“Is he sleeping?”
“Isn’t that the escort of the First Prince?”
people murmured The Knights Guard, who were trying to prevent the knights from approaching, put the sword back into the emperor’s sacrificial system.
Before long, the knight bowed his head in front of the emperor.
“Wei, see you, Great Majesty!”
“Tell me why you are in this state, and why your master is not coming.”
“The 1st and 1st Princes…!”
The escort driver shed tears and swallowed his anger.
“You were kidnapped by the Demon King on your way here!”
“··········!”
“··········!”
“···what?”
The emperor’s face contorted.
The nobles were perplexed.
The escort knight nailed it.
“Flame! The Demon King of Fire annihilated all the Knights and kidnapped the First Prince!”
The Demon King of Fire did not give them a chance to clear the confusion.
* * *
The Demon King suddenly fell at some point.
Just like the army of monsters that drove Britian into despair.
The alarm bell rang in the peaceful ecliptic.
“There is a hole in the barrier of the guardian magic! This is my 85-B!”
“Are you an intruder?”
“Not sure yet!”
“Call the tower right away to determine the cause of the impact on the bulkhead and request restoration. And send the security forces to prepare for intruders!”
A shock was applied to the guardian magic of the zodiac, which was always in operation, and a gap was created. An intruder entered between them.
“majesty. It is said that an intruder has made a hole in the protective bulkhead.”
“The prestige of the empire has been sunk down to the sewers.”
The first prince, who was preparing to enter the palace upon receiving the emperor’s call, snorted.
“It wasn’t enough that Briant’s estate was attacked, so the protective bulkhead was breached?”
The ecliptic, the protective bulkhead, was the symbol of the empire. I had no idea how much more he wanted to fall.
“Who are you?”
The 1st Prince’s eyes went cold.
“We are currently investigating.”
“What are the bulkhead defenders doing?”
“Their bodies were found near the rift…”
“I’m going crazy.”
The protective bulkhead was a magical totality created from the design of the zodiac. The Empire had the confidence that no one could break through because the magicians of the Imperial Palace had been constantly repairing and strengthening them.
The same goes for the bulkhead defenders who guard the guard bulkhead. They were another force to protect the Empire along with the Wulong Knights.
That they suffered and the bulkhead collapsed.
“Who the hell are you doing? Maybe the devil?”
“They say they didn’t feel the Magi.”
He didn’t know how to break through the bulkhead, but at a normal level, it was impossible. With that level of magic, traces remained unconditionally.
“I’m not the Demon King, but do you mean that someone dares to invade the imperial capital?”
It was nonsense. It was not because of arrogance and pride for the Empire. Because I don’t think there would be any stupid country that would spark a conflict between each other in such a situation.
“That’s right.”

Moment-────!
The ceiling of the mansion was broken. something thumped Dark magic took over the inside.
“Enemy!”
The knights who had been waiting for the 1st Prince’s preparations to be finished drew their swords.
But it only took a few seconds for them all to go out.
“There is no big guy who would do this without me.”
“… the Demon King of Flames?”
Even though the floor was dripping with the blood of his knights, the first prince did not frown.
“okay.”
The intruder answered. Her dark red hair fluttered, engulfed in black flames.
“He is the Demon King of Fire that you have been longing for.”
“I said . . . bold, daring. The liver was swollen and burst. How dare you say here.”
“The emperor. And the home of the first prince, Rufus Jespine.”
“Are you here to kidnap me?”
“Well, I won’t deny it.”
“Do you think you can handle it?”
“I think I’ve already shown a lot.”
“Don’t be arrogant because you’ve been fed one shot with the same trap!”
“Isn’t the damage pretty big for a trap like that? Is there anyone who doesn’t know that all the nobles of the empire are being summoned to the emperor?”
“You bastard…!”
“Still, you didn’t catch me. I couldn’t even find my tower, and I fell into my trap, killing stars, hundreds of warriors, and tens of thousands of soldiers.”
even this way
“Should I not be confident?”
“Don’t look down on the Empire. What you’ve been through is only a fraction of what you’ve been through.”
“No, I probably know the power of the Empire better than you.”
‘Cause I’ve been through it myself Because I’ve bumped into it countless times.
“what?”
“I want it. The whole empire is trying to catch me.”
All of that will turn into a magician and make him stronger.
“It’s arrogant.”
“Pride is my specialty.”
so you
“It’s okay if you just quietly become my prisoner.”
The Demon King grabbed the 1st Prince by the neck and spread his wings.
Kwakwaqua-
A black flash of light rose in the distance.
The remnants left by the demon king began to burn the mansion.
“···Oh, no···!”
The surviving escort knight screamed.
Following the 9th Princess of the Empire, the 1st Prince was kidnapped by the Demon King of Fire.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the western sea of the continent.“…is this right?”
“You don’t feel it either!”
The waves crashed. Dozens of ships swayed.
──!
─!
The magic cannons spewed fire one after another.
Huge sea snakes screamed. A fish-type monster over 10m tall smashed the side of the ship with its huge body.
“Aww!”
“Shoot! Shoot it!”

Mirel, the leader of the Black Eyepatch Pirates, grabbed the giant sword and jumped off.The rough Auror split the monster’s head and climbed back onto the ship. The sea was dyed red.
“Damn it, there is no end.”
“More monsters that smell the blood will come. You have to get out of here first.”
“Who doesn’t know that? I’m not sure if I’m on the right track.”
“You don’t even feel that the Demon Lord’s presence is getting bigger and bigger!”
“So I mean!”
At the words of Arkan, the leader of the Black Eyepatch Pirates, Mirel shouted.
“Why are you going to the open sea more and more? The Demon Lord is a succubus!”
“What do you do with that? You must have built a new tower on a remote island!”
“There is only the vast sea, but where is the island!”
“Then why are you asking me for that?”
“Damn it, I was told to escape for nothing…”
“If it wasn’t for you, you would have already been dead! If you want to see those damn bastards try to turn us over as scapegoats, go back!”
Another leader of the pirates, Louis, intervened.
“Come on, nothing is certain yet, is there? The first thing to do is to avoid the monsters and get out of this place.”
“Ok.”
“It must be disseminated. Since you don’t know exactly where the Demon Lord is, you can’t be sure how long it will take, right?”
“I wish there was a decent island.”
turn around!
Get out of here right now!
The scarred ships with pirate flags continued sailing north again.
