187. Thunderbolt
Reina didn’t believe in putting towers together. I asked him not to joke around and show me the right solution.
“That’s the right solution. If you become my clan, you can merge your tower with mine. When that happens, all members of the tower will be moved to my tower.”
“If such a thing is possible, why has no one in the Demon Realm tried it until now!”
“What kind of demon king would want to become a member of another demon king? Unless you’re facing this kind of situation in this fucking dimension.”
“···Right.”
It was then that Reina understood. However, it was not entirely without suspicion.
“really···.”
“It’s not really a lie.”
And Berge understood. She broke her self-esteem and her future life for the sake of her family, not her own.
But if the end is filled with lies and everyone in the family dies, who can bear the despair and sorrow?
“I swear by the first demon king and standard. I never lied.”
If there were Ernyl or Kaede, they would have looked at Berger with a blank look, but they are not here.
Not a lie in the first place.
“By the way.”
Reina rolled the candy in her mouth.
You obviously chewed it all before, but when did you open it again and put it in your mouth?
“Why don’t you honor the first demon emperor when you make an oath?”
Her eyes turned sharp.
“It’s a coincidence.”
“It’s not just this time. Last time we all swore together, you said that you were the only first demon king. To the great Invited Demon King.”
“I fell here while cursing standard from the beginning.”
“That’s the standard, isn’t it the first Demon Emperor?”
At first glance, the two are different issues. But in Berger’s view, it was the same problem. It’s the first ephedra, that bastard who made the standard.
“…I swear by the great First Demon Emperor and the standard, there is no lie in my words. Have you been?”
“Satisfies.”
Reina smiled happily. But soon he sighed.
“… I never dreamed that I would become a demon king and become a member of another demon king.”
“In the end, surviving is what matters.”
“Will you become a member of the real woman’s family?”
“If you want to die together, you can. You know better than anyone that the future will never be good.”
“If it merges with your tower, in fact, I still can’t believe it. It must be true that there is a way. If not, she doesn’t know what she’s going to do.”
“Reina Sordain. Doubt is good, but too much is ugly.”
“. . . no one can say that she is ugly.”
“…apologize.”
Berge turned his head at the cool gaze.
“Anyway, that’s not what’s important right now. I’ll ask again properly. Reina Sordain.”
Demon King of the noble Frostmourne.
“Will you become my family?”
“I will . . .”
There was a moment’s hesitation, but Reina finally nodded.
Reina knelt down. Berge put a hand on her forehead.
soul contract.
got each other right.
“Now that I have become a member of the family, I will tell you, but even if my tower cannot be understood from your point of view, you must understand it.”
“what? What does that mean?”
“You will know when you go.”
Seeing the fish caught in the net, Berge laughed.
That day, a tower on the snowy field disappeared.
* * *
“…it’s crazy.”
haha.
It was ridiculous and I couldn’t even laugh.
Ballaf grabbed the guide’s neck.
“Didn’t you say you knew the way? Didn’t I say that the tower must exist?”
Was that top?
Is this the way you are talking
“Ta, the tower must have been here! uh, traces! There are no traces left!”
“No signs!”
Ballaf growled.
“It means nothing.”
It’s literally just a trace. There is neither a tower nor a demon king anywhere.
Only a small pit and the soft snow covering the inside greets them.
The hope that arrives after all kinds of hardship is instantly turned into a sense of disappointment, helplessness, anger and despair.
“Isn’t there even a tower of extreme cold?”
“Are you sure you were here in the first place?”
“There are traces.”
“No, does this make sense? I’ve been to the Frigid Tower before! There must have been a tower, but where did it go!”
“Aren’t you completely playing under the control of the Demon King?”
“What the hell is this!”
The Allies went into a panic. The common sense of the Demon King that they knew in general, one by one, the feeling of being broken made them even more confused.
The denial of common sense caused even greater chaos.
“Balaf, everyone is agitated.”
“·················ogue.”
An aide who questioned the intentions of the commander-in-chief, Balaf, kept his mouth shut. His harshly distorted expression felt a ferocity that he had never seen while serving Ballaf.
‘Once is a mistake.’
Twice is a coincidence.
‘And three times is inevitable.’
Since when did it become inevitable for the tower to disappear? Why was it inevitable?
‘A roaring hero’s journey.’
Yeah, that’s the problem.
To see the Demon King as funny, it proceeds as if it were an event.
In other words, it is no different from sending a letter to the Demon King saying they are attacking him.
Give the Demon King time to prepare and give him time. If it becomes unmanageable, it will even open up the possibility of moving the tower.
‘then.’
Balaf quenched his anger with superhuman patience. head turned tight.
‘I will do the opposite.’
Since the Demon Kings do not follow the well-known standard, humans do not have to follow the custom either.
Since it’s not natural, there’s no need to take it for granted either.
‘Jason Cockmundo.’
he didn’t betray
Ballaf had been with Jason for quite some time. I got help, and I helped.
Even if it’s a completely unreliable relationship with different schemes, I know I wouldn’t do something stupid like this.
‘It’s not Jason’s intention, but it’s possible that Jason’s actions had an effect on the fire or escape from the cold.’
Because it’s the same devil.
So I hide it from Jason.
Rather than being angry, when none of the demon lords know, he moves quickly.
When you are careless that they live.
hit somewhere else
“Marquess Argan.”
“Ballaf Ball.”
“Lead the corps for me. There may be some damage, but please take the time in the snowy field as much as possible.”
“What is that?”
“If there is no tower, we have to aim for another tower.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’ll take Roselle Chartres, Aina Diaphrin, Ralph Schmidt, and most of the stars and heroes.”
“Where?”
“The Demon King of the Golden River. If they don’t uphold the standards that have been passed down so far, we’ll have to punch them in the back. I will inevitably cut off the head of the one who is careless.”
In the first place, Balaf didn’t have to be cold. It was enough for him to be a suitable demon king who would restore his fallen fame and raise his lack of power even a little more.
However, I just set the target for the cold weather first in response to Jason’s request.
“Not a bad way, but the Golden Tower is in Akan! If you move in a crowd there, it will be a diplomatic problem…”
“Roselle Chartres. What do you think?”
“If it’s only the warriors, I’ll do anything, so go.”
Roselle Chartres, who was listening quietly, spit it out as if chewing it.
“It’s only a day or two to suffer from these damn demon king bastards, and I’ll twist even one of them somehow.”
“Okay. There is no need to waste too much time, as they will all move quickly through the movement magic circle.”
“But would there be a problem if that scale was to move?”
“Don’t worry, we’ll take care of that.”
“Rumors will spread.”
“It’s okay if you move before that.”
That day, 4 stars and 300 warriors disappeared.
* * *
it’s hell
The great giant thought so.
“The third floor has been opened!”
“Orman and 51 low-ranking demons who went down to the 4th floor to stop the warriors were annihilated!”
They came suddenly.
Recently, I knew that public opinion about the Demon King was not good.
Because of what Berger had done, the hostility towards the Demon King was on the rise. There was anxiety, but Jason said that as long as he was quiet, he would be fine.
believed
It was as Jason said. Humans moved to conquer the Tower of Frigidity, not themselves.
It’s sad that Raina, but he was relieved that he wasn’t him. He prayed for her well-being and ate meat.
But why?
Why are they in their tower?
“Hamus is dead!”
Know. ‘Cause we’re watching together
It was undoubtedly Roselle Chartres who burned the body of the intermediate demon, Hamus.
“Breaking through the 6th floor!”
A large-scale ice magic freezes all the monsters on the 6th floor. It was Aina Diaphrin.
“Moitai!”
The mace of the Greater Titan, Moi Tai, is blocked by a strong shield. run away from power Ralph Schmidt is unmistakable.
A clean sword strike cuts his neck. A titan with a huge body collapsed at once.
Ballaf Dislord shakes his sword.
“why···!”
Are the four stars here?
Hundreds of warriors are desperate to kill themselves!
“It’s a star. Four stars!”
The stars are strong. That cannot be denied.
When two or three stars gather, you can hunt the Demon King.
But it was only a few decades old.
Ugar Belbek descended more than 90 years ago, and he sought stability while also pursuing strength.
Two or three stars? It was difficult, but not perfect, but somehow I was able to stop it.
How much less was it not that tens of thousands of troops were mobilized like those heading for Erzest or the snowy field?
But if that’s four and one of them is Ballaf Dislord.
That was a different story.
“What the hell happened! Jason Cockmundo!”
You just need to be quiet.
If you don’t have to install it.
He said the cold would be a victim.
But why are they in my tower!
『············.”
Jason over the line didn’t answer. He just raised his one-eyed glasses with a hardened face.
After a while, he opened his mouth.
“Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do for you.”
“It was you who told me to believe in you! So I trusted you!”
“I know. Thank you enough. Because of that, I also worked hard to help Ugar-sama.”
“Is this what you mean now! Ballaf Dislord! Didn’t I say he’s your collaborator! Didn’t I say that we were drawing the big picture together!”
Ugar trembled with a sense of betrayal.
“But are you here to kill me? There was no place for me in the big picture in the first place! Reina was right. You were an untrustworthy demon lord full of lies!”
“I’m not going to make excuses.”
“But I sincerely hope that you will survive.”
Communication was unilaterally cut off.
“Jace!”
Ugar roared. A fist filled with anger smashed the communication port.
“… my lord. They are on the 8th floor.”
At the lieutenant’s report, Ugar bit his lip.
‘I don’t want to die.’
how did you survive
‘Royalty?’
Vivian’s last words came to mind. perhaps. If you survive that way. would it be better
Ugar valued his own safety above all else. I thought it was better to have a subservient family than a dignified demon king.
death is the end After you die, you have to be praised for being a demon king, and the person involved will never know anything. Is there anything else so fleeting?
‘···Someone’s?’
It wasn’t Jason. Ballaf was his minion and it meant that Jason had obviously abandoned him.
‘Then Reina….’
No, I couldn’t have imagined that I would become a member of that noble Surima clan.
‘Berge.’
I didn’t like it, but it was the best among the remaining demon kings.
‘Let’s see, Jason Cockmundo.’
definitely take revenge
Ugar has found a new communication channel. But time did not wait for him.
Quang-
The gates of Daejeon opened.
Thump Thump-
The boots trample the floor of the tower. The smell of the blood of monsters, demons, and demons wafted out.
“This is normal.”
dimensional interference. Humans with that disgusting power discovered Ugar.
“You are the Demon King of the Geum River.”
“Are you Ballaf Dislord?”
Ugar bit his lip. I had to somehow make time.
“Looks like I’m famous. The demon lords recognize all of them.”
“Did you have to do this?”
“What do you mean?”
“Does it mean that we have to see the end like this?”
“This is amazing.”
Ballaf scoffed.
“The author of the Demon King is talking about justice in front of the hero who came to kill him.”
His gaze subsided. So did the other warriors.
“Don’t you remember what you guys did? Planting a warlock in the empire, causing chaos, unleashing monsters and destroying cities, killing heroes and legions, and kidnapping even the first prince of the empire.”
“That’s not what I did. If you wish, I can point you to the location of the Tower of Chloride!”
“Really the Demon King. There is no such thing as loyalty to each other.”
However, even more so.
“I have no reason to trust you.”
The sword was pointed.
“I will deal with him.”
“Wait, me too.”
“I promise no by-products. Wouldn’t it all burn out if you step out?”
“great.”
Balaf took one step forward. Ugar was furious.
He knew that Ballaf Dislord was a great warrior. But nonetheless, he was a demon king and he was only a hero.
It was the orthodox that no matter how many stars, he could not face the Demon King alone.
“bloke! You know me so ridiculously because they say come and go!”
Ugar raised his head. The Titan’s body emitted a noise and rushed forward.
“no.”
Balaf slowly extended his sword forward. Just before it collided, it deflected like water.
─!
Ugar’s gigantic body staggered. Ballaf’s sword drew a red picture on the Titan’s skin.
─!
A huge fist slammed him down. With a bang, Ballaf’s feet pierced the floor.
He smiled, showing his teeth, in shock that overwhelms his whole body.
“After all, the Demon King is the Demon King.”
A whopping 90 years. Time was really valuable to the Demon King.
However.
“You’re weaker than him.”
“what?”
Ballaf didn’t answer. Instead, he reached out to the subspace. The red sword spewed out flames.
that day.
The Tower of Geumgang was forcibly summoned to the Demon Realm.
