209. Demon King and Empire
“I said.”
Daniel Deirus continued.
“Turn it off.”
* * *
“go away.”
Blurred vision, painful body. Still, the emotion was clear.
Hatred of demon kings, anger against humans.
“Do I need to set the day like that?”
“I do not cooperate with demons.”
“Are you saying that I am a demon?”
“If they saw you, anyone would think so.”
“Ah, is that so?”
At that moment, the megalithic demon lord’s body shrank rapidly. Its skin was peeled off like a doll without cotton.
The man just before entering the Demon King was there.
“How about this?”
“Are you showing a bizarre side and forcing an answer?”
“Is that so?”
“Who are you?”
“Isn’t there something more important than that?”
“what?”
“Your life is at stake and I have a way to save you. And I want to collaborate with you. Are your questions more urgent than this?”
“·················ogue.”
“There is no time. Since the demon king is dead, the tower will return to the demon realm soon.”
“Even if we go back to this way, it will be the same. I am alone and they…”
“Then, isn’t it enough to become a completely different person and build up new power? What they fear is a warrior named ‘Daniel Deirus’.”
“What is that?”
blatantly-
The man’s skin shrunk like a megalithic demon king and peeled off.
A completely different face appeared.
“…Is that her real face?”
“It’s not my true form, but once you know that, you should know it.”
A man approached with a sagging skin.
“…what are you doing?”
“I want to give you a new life. Oh, before that.”
The man reached out to Daniel’s wound. A warm healing magic healed him.
“…you, weren’t you a demon?”
“It’s a demon.”
“But how….”
“I think it would be better to skip the little things. ruler.”
covered with leather The leather wrapped around Daniel’s body in an instant and settled down. The uncomfortable feeling of foreign body and vision quickly disappeared.
“…what is this?”
“Today, here Daniel Deirus is dead. Your name is Cortian Maserina. One of the common warriors from the Jespines… it’s leather?”
* * *
“…leather?”
Berge’s face hardened.
“Yes.”
“This is what you wore the skin he took off. With that, you change your identity several times.”
“right.”
“Hey, I’m going crazy.”
Berge grabs her throbbing hair. I wondered if what I heard was correct.
‘No way.’
Yeah, it can’t be.
‘No, really?’
Actually, I was just guessing a little bit.
When Daniel Deirus realized he was wearing a shell called Balaf Dislord, a race came to mind.
But I thought no.
why?
Because it can’t be.
Because I can’t.
“Why? Is there any problem?”
“Wait a minute.”
Berge immediately summoned the two demon kings.
“You mean you absorbed the Demon King and took off his skin?”
“okay.”
“Have you changed into something completely different?”
“okay.”
Reina’s complexion hardened.
“If this hero lied…”
“I swore with dimensional power.”
“…then that’s right. Wow, how did these cockroaches survive?”
Vivian was amazed.
“Are you all thinking the same as me?”
“If that’s what you think and what Vivian thinks is right.”
“There can be no other.”
under.
Berger smirked.
“Yeah, it certainly doesn’t make sense if it wasn’t for that. I can’t even comprehend that I’m still alive.”
There is one unique demon in the demon world.
Parasites that devour other people and parasitize their skins.
In the demon world, they call them this way.
“Doppelganger.”
Called.
* * *
doppelganger.
Humans are known as demons that simply clone their opponents, and it is said that if they meet a doppelganger that looks just like them, they will die.
That’s wrong.
They don’t just appear by cloning their opponents.
“They survived those greedy parasites.”
As Reina said, they were parasitic demons.
It does not replicate, but permeates and parasitizes. It absorbs the power of its host and eventually eats it and covers its skin.
That is, it cannot exist as a duplicate. He’s just a doppelganger whose inner life has already changed.
“I was completely wrong.”
Berge believed that Jason had developed and built a foundation for over a hundred years.
It wasn’t. He was a doppelganger who had lived for hundreds of years by eating a demon king named Jason.
“You must kill me right now. Don’t let the doppelganger run around.”
“I agree too. It’s disgusting to be breathing with those creepy things.”
Raina and Vivian raised one voice.
“But you can’t move quickly. According to him, I met Jason hundreds of years ago. It is said that he has been eating demon kings and warriors before that to increase his strength…”

Maybe it has become a monster that even the current Berges can’t handle.No, it was clear.
Berge pricked his ears and glanced at Daniel, who was trying to overhear this conversation.
However, the noise reduction has already been done with the Magi. There’s no way a man with all mana could hear it.
‘Doppelganger, doppelganger…’
I didn’t expect it at all. Even before the return, until we catch Daniel Deirus.
I just thought that he was a smart demon king who managed to twist the standard well even in the worst situation of Arain, who hid his identity well.
It wasn’t.
His enemies were far stronger, mightier and larger than he had imagined.
But it wasn’t all bad.
“···perhaps.”
“perhaps?”
“Things can be easily solved.”
“Is there any way to kill it?”
“There is a way to dry it out. The doppelganger is a rebel of the underworld. An eradication order has been issued, and the seeds have dried up.”
In another sense, it is a rarer race than the Demon Dragon, which has the smallest population in the Demon Realm.
“What if I let the demon world know that such a doppelganger is eating demon kings and pretending to be demon kings?”
“then···.”
“Yeah, I’m just saying it was all lies. A doppelganger framed us, and in fact, it was all caused by him.”
The facts didn’t matter.
Knowing how much the Demon Realm is passionate about eradicating doppelgangers, there was no problem even if all the sins were covered.
But for that to happen, a prerequisite was necessary.
“Reina.”
connection with the devil.
The connection between Berge and Vivian was cut off, but until recently, Reina’s thing remained.
But I couldn’t be sure that it would still be there.
Because she appeared in battle with the champions and Jason must have known that.
If the report has already gone up and Archduke Alkyne has cut the connection, there is no point.
But fortunately.
“Remains.”
The connection remained the same.
It was because Jason didn’t pay attention to anything else while preparing to eat Dorche.
* * *
That’s crazy.
It’s crazy, even if it’s crazy.
“You are leaving the Union! What nonsense is this!”
“Your Majesty’s will.”
“I don’t like it, but my brother has been kidnapped. The imperial city was turned into hell and 10,000 troops were killed. And this time, the warriors, including Balaf Dislord, died. But does it make sense to leave the union? Rather, taking the initiative to subdue the demon lords is not enough!”
“Your Majesty’s will.”
“Maternal grandfather!”

Martin bit his lip. So was his maternal grandfather, Marquis Eincheil, an outsider of the imperial family.“Hwang Myung has fallen, and an envoy who will convey his will participated in the conference of the Union. Sooner or later, news of the Empire’s departure will shake the entire continent. It means that it is already irreversible.”
“All the people are afraid of the Demon King. All the kingdoms are shouting to subdue the demon king. But you go against that will and go backwards alone?”
“God is the subject of the Empire and the subject of His Majesty. You can’t defy the twilight.”
“Do you agree with that? Even if it is a yellow name, if it is an incorrect yellow name, it should have been rejected. I would have understood if the reason was justified.”
But the only reason is that ‘the damage that the empire has suffered is so great that it needs time to repair it’.
‘The enemy of the empire is Chloe, so I can’t afford to turn my attention to other demon kings.’
Of course, the damage to the empire is huge. overwhelmingly more than all other countries.
However, if it had only been an empire that was so turbulent, it would not have been called an empire.
The same goes for other excuses. There was nothing the Empire could do at the moment when wealth was destroyed and Ballaf Thislord died.
It was just a crude excuse.
“This is not an opportunity. For other countries to peek at the chance to see blood in the face of the Demon King, it is nothing but turning the entire continent into an enemy!”
That was obviously the purpose.
chance. They see it as an opportunity to expand the territory of the empire.
So the Emperor declares so.
The Duke of Osrian agreed.
Some nobles must have agreed.
It was good in the short term, but in the long run it was the pinnacle of stupidity.
After subjugating the Demon King, the Allied Forces will not be able to see the Empire well.
“Of course, the power of the Empire is strong. It is worth fighting against all continents. But the results will never be positive. Empires cannot survive either.”
Destroy at best. Martin thought so.
So, since the Duke of Osrian first agreed with the emperor’s opinion, the Marquis of Boulderbof or Marquis Einzeil had to oppose it in order to balance the weight.

Martin knew that.However, there was no objection. The three high-ranking aristocrats supporting the current empire all agreed in unanimous support, and the empire’s withdrawal from the alliance proceeded in an instant.
“Your Majesty, I hope you understand that due to circumstances, I cannot tell you in detail.”
“…does that mean there is something else?”
“All I can say is that the Empire has been partnering with the Demon King of Lies for many years.”
“Isn’t it your brother who held hands with him?”
“Your Majesty and the Duke of Osrian are the ones who brought lies to the First Prince.”
“That means….”
Oh My God.

Martin groaned.“…are you planning to help the lie and smash the confederacy, not just to preserve the imperial power?”
The Marquis did not answer. But the silence was the answer.
“…that’s a crazy plan! There is a future for mankind to live. What is the meaning of victory for the empire when all countries are destroyed and depleted and the demon lord becomes stronger!”
“The Demon Lord has enough control.”
“Are you even looking at the results of this bravery? The lie helped Chloe and destroyed the troop!”
This wasn’t right.
No matter how ambitious the empire was, this was not the case.
“majesty.”
For a moment, Marquis Eincheil’s voice was low.
eyes met
I got goosebumps.
The hair all over the body stood up.
It was a look I had never seen from my grandfather, who was always kind.
No, is it really the maternal grandfather I knew for a while? it was unfamiliar It was more unfamiliar.
“It’s Huang Ming.”
“·················ogue.”
“I hope you don’t go anywhere and spread the word about this. Your Majesty has made strict secrecy.”
and.
“Don’t worry. We will not follow in the footsteps of the alliance that fights the Demon King.”
The Marquis Eincheil disappeared in the distance.
“···haha.”

Martin, who was left alone, smiled in despair.“No, not this.”
is the devil
They are unbelievable
Let’s join hands with such people and smash humanity in the back of the head.
It was insanely crazy.
It is an act of abandoning mankind. Even if the operation is successful, will it be able to maintain it while losing its reputation and humanity?
Will the people favorably accept the empire that betrayed mankind and annihilated other countries by joining hands with the Demon King?
Even if you win, it’s a victory that only hurts.
Even if it doesn’t seem like it on the surface, it will surely explode someday.
‘You wouldn’t have known that.’
Why did the emperor and all the nobles go mad?
‘It must be stopped.’
But he had no power.
Read at noblemtl.com
Most of his power came from his background, the Marquis Eincheil, and his full power was obviously more than that of a number of nobles, but he was not able to do anything alone.I needed help.
‘But whose?’
The emperor and the three pillars of the empire became one heart and one mind.
This ferocious madness will infect the entire empire and is already being realized.
‘Your Majesty must be stopped.’
The ideal would be for the Allied Forces to subdue the false demon king without taking any damage. So that the Empire would not dare to strike the back of the head.
But Martin was negative.
The Marquis said that the Empire had nurtured lies for a long time. He was confident that he would inflict great damage on the Allies.
If the emperor and the great nobles were confident enough, the level would never be unusual.
‘But what if the damage could be reduced?’
one thing. There is a way that comes to mind right now.
In the process of searching the Tower of Chloride, Martin, who had a kite with the Demon King, heard things that were not generally known.
For example, rumors that Chloe and Lie are hostile to each other because of a bad relationship or that Lie has helped Chloe are a ploy to make Lie difficult.
“Catch the Demon King with the Demon Lord.”
What if Chloe, who hates lies, puts a small amount of effort into killing lies?
So what if the damage of the alliance is less than expected?
So what if the Empire gives up its plans?
That’s enough. That’s it.
