249. Five Demon Lords
The king never expected.
The demon king of flames frees the kidnapped princesses. Among them is Elena Hilderan.
Officially, they held festivals and banquets with a statement of joy, but Elena Hilderan was not very important to him.
Her body was so weak that she could not even get married by arrangement. A walking corpse that doesn’t look strange when it dies.
When she was kidnapped by the Demon King, he was also angry at the fact that two princesses, Ernian and Elena, were kidnapped by the same Demon King, and he was angry that Hilderan looked down on him.
So, when Elena said that she was coming back, she just said, ‘You’re still alive, not dead.’ It was all about feeling.
“I see you, my Majesty the King.”
However, she met after a few years and was not the sickly princess the king knew.
His pale complexion regained stability, and his always anxious eyes became strong.
Above all else, the momentum I felt was never weak.
how.
in just a few years.
Questions came up to the bottom of my chin.
“No, how…?”
“Is the sergeant I knew right?”
“No matter what I did, it didn’t get better…”
The nobles who attended the banquet, who knew Elena even a little, had the same thoughts as the king.
But there were other princesses, so I didn’t have to ask on the spot. I have to keep my dignity.
After the banquet is over, you can call and ask. He is a king and she is a princess.
I thought so.
[Leaving to become a hero.]
Until he realizes that the princess has left the kingdom with only one note left in her private palace.
* * *
His affection for the King and his devotion to Hilderan had long since disappeared.
She was a princess, but she was an abandoned princess. In the face of everyone, he was destined to die coldly, imprisoned in a splendid prison called the detached palace.
Therefore, he had no desire to return to the kingdom. Have you already made friends with the members of the tower, including the elves and dwarves, as well as the demon king of cold weather and the demon king of lust?
But I knew it was unavoidable. In such a situation, the Demon King’s decision to be brave was like rain in a drought.
‘I’m a warrior too.’
Yes, before, he was a warrior with only patterns, but now he is a high-level warrior with six engravings. If you become a hero, you can legally escape the stuffy royal road. You can wander the continent with the Demon King.
“So you’re saying you’re following me?”
“yes. The Demon King’s family should be with the Demon Lord, where are they going?”
Elena, who was walking on a quiet mountain path, smiled mischievously.
“It’s beautiful.”
“A mountain road? I almost couldn’t see the outside…”
Her frail body prevented her from doing any outside activities, and after being captured, she was confined to the tower.
Even these trivial landscapes are very new to her.
“But thanks to the Demon Lord, this became possible, didn’t it?”
“Did the King of Hilderan let him go?”
“I left a note and ran away at night.”
“···········?”
“why?”
“···not.”
Occasionally, I see Ernyl and Elena, and they spit out such words insignificantly. Unlike demons, humans know that families are precious.
‘Ah, did I say that there is no such thing as love because of being a child of the world tree or something?’
Then just do it.
“Did Ernya allow it?”
“sure. I asked my sister first. But where are you going now?”
“I will go to Traparta first. The Hero’s Guild headquarters is there.”
“You’re going to see Hillen-sama.”
“The other stars are there right now. Now we must prepare for the coming of the Demon King in earnest.”
“Are many demon lords descending?”
“Since I sprinkled rice cakes on it, it will come quite a bit.”
“Then the tower will get bigger.”
“It will be.”
“I am very much looking forward to it.”
“What makes the tower grow?”
“no. As a warrior, you fight the Demon King. I listened to it every day in bed. what kind of being a warrior is. I wish I could do that one day.”
“There is a demon king right in front of you.”
“The case is different with the Demon King. Before being the Demon King, you are my benefactor, right?”
“Would you like some chocolate?”
“yes.”
Elena ate the flat chocolate.
“Ah, but when a new Demon King is coming, is it okay to leave?”
“Raina will take care of herself. Because Reina is much better than me in that regard.”
They will know the Tower of Berge as Reina’s Tower. All you need to do is to stop by Berge from time to time and spread the awareness that demon lords cooperate with each other. Because there is no obligation to expose the tower.
‘I was lucky. As the towers merged into five, my authority became very strong.’
Thanks to this, it prevented them from finding the location of the tower in the Demon Realm. You are probably quite upset by now.
As we were walking while talking with Elena, a wide lake appeared. It was once the domain of the Demon King, but now it is not.
The lake still had a strong smell of blood.
“Let it fly.”
“yes.”
I didn’t even have to flap my wings. Both floated lightly across the lake by magic. So I arrived at the Traparta Union.
“Welcome, Fail-sama. I was waiting.”
“What…? No, why Fail-sama?”
“Because I will also join the Heroes’ Guild. I have to catch the Demon King.”
“uh···.”
The demon king becomes a hero and catches the demon king?
Count Pagan’s face contorted bizarrely.
‘What kind of bullshit is this?’
I was curious, but even after hearing the answer, I didn’t seem to understand. Count Pagan decided to pass it on.
That day, three heroes joined the Heroes’ Guild.
And two new stars appeared.
* * *
A snowfield in the northern part of the empire where the demon king is said to have disappeared.
People didn’t know, but a few days ago, a tower had been built there again.
The temporary owner of the tower, Reina Sordain, led the Frost Demons outside.
She checked the exterior of the tower.
“It’s really cool.”
“of course. I didn’t know that the interior design we made just in case could be used like this, but our craftsmanship is perfect!”
hehehehe
Logger laughed out loud.
The magic cannons and bridges installed in the tower, as well as the floating stones, all disappeared inside, and at least in appearance, they were no different from other ordinary demon king towers.
“Okay, go in. If your presence is discovered, there will always be problems.”
“Yes. Then come on.”
Logger shot into the tower.
“Armand.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“It’s been a while since I’ve been called the Demon King.”
Reina smiled bitterly at the response of the superior Frostima tribe. What has always been taken for granted over the past hundred years will be so new.
“There should be no mistakes.”
“of course. In this place, there are only the people of Seorima who have been following the Demon King since long ago. Unless they enter the tower, there will be no mistakes.”
And it probably won’t happen. In general, it is taboo for uninvited people to enter another demon lord’s tower.
After a while.
───!
The atmosphere vibrated.
space is split The black rift spewed out dark magic.
─!
A black flash of light from the crack fell vertically.
In the place where the rays of light disappeared, there were five demon lords and a corps of ten thousand units led by them.
“Is this Arain?”
“Upset. It’s a very unpleasant place.”
“Indeed, the level of interference is different from other dimensions.”
“Do not forget our purpose. How far have we come to punish traitors?”
“Isn’t it good to conquer the level of humility and humility? Just imagining how much magic you can get if you conquer this dimension is thrilling.”
A giant titan with a height of over 15 meters.
Lamia with a lower body that is over 50 meters tall.
wild beast.
A dark elf with a cold impression
A descendant of dragons, even dracoons.
They were the five demon kings who conquered the dimension, Galasia, and were sent directly to Arain.
Those who have experience conquering at least 2 to as many as 6 dimensions.
“Frost Demon, Reina Sordain is meeting many seniors.”
Reina slowly approached her and bowed her head. The Dark Elf answered as the representative.
“I am Torion Daimus. I heard the story. Reina Sordain. Not about the traitor, about the situation here, and about what you decided to do to help us.”
“There is not much help I can give. It’s best to give a little magic points to reduce some of the interference.”
“part? If I had survived in a place like this for a hundred years, I would have accumulated quite a lot of Magic Points.”
“Originally there were more, but there have already been two failures.”
“Two guys? Who came before us?”
“What the hell did you hear, you strong-minded and ignorant bastard? Did you say that Dorce Astin and Bruno Cole failed before us? That’s why he opened up his hands to us as well.”
“Is that so? Dorce Astin and Bruno Cole are demons stronger than us, right? Both are considered candidates for the next Grand Duke.”
“What nonsense are you talking about now that you said you did?”
The titan scratched his head. Lamia made an impression by sticking out her snake-like tongue.
“Ignore what Balok said. Even if you say it like that, you are a fighter who takes the lead and fights more than anyone else.”
“Yes.”
“But it sounds like you’re not giving enough Magi points in the end.”
“I’m sorry, but that’s right.”
“As the situation is, there is nothing we can do about it. i get it. Then build the tower and contact me.”
“Yes.”
“And no further help is needed.”
“Jason is strong. Even without the help of me or the other demon lords…”
“In preparation for the traitor, I tried to sum it up several times. You are just a hindrance.”
“Yes, I understand.”
The five demon kings and their families disappeared.
“If you do, we will be grateful.”
There is no need to go back and forth from Berge.
“Dear seniors.”
Reina bowed her head.
“Sorry in advance.”
I prayed for their well-being.
* * *
“Isn’t it better to move together? No matter how many stories I have heard, I am a person who has endured here for a hundred years.”
“So we are not together.”
Asmodians are inherently strong in individualism. It gets worse when you become a Demon King. Since five demon lords have to compete for one dimension, the checks become more severe.
But these were different. They didn’t show it openly because of the devil’s eyes, but they secretly cooperated with each other.
It wasn’t that he didn’t like the standard or that his faith in the first demon had disappeared.
It was simply because he realized that it was a more efficient and faster way to conquer the dimension than other demon lords.
Their Grand Duke recognized that fact, but closed his eyes for the achievement, and the five demon lords have been working together for quite some time.
Sudden uninvited guests were highly likely to be negative rather than positive.
“Of course, it’s not just a matter of consensus.”
“Isn’t it a matter of consensus?”
“How many times have I said that hair is not a decoration? Before I ask, you want me to think about something.”
“You keep getting annoyed, and if you keep doing that, you’ll pull out the tail.”
“Oh, I think all your ignorant muscles will melt before that. Would you like to try it?”
Titan and Lamia growled.
“This is because the amount of Magi collected is too small.”
The still Dracoon muttered softly.
“It’s been a hundred years. They say it is difficult because there are many heroes, but on the contrary, the strength of the dimension is strong, so the magic points will be collected much better than in other dimensions. It’s a big problem to have survived for a hundred years in such a place, but it was only at the level of completely disabling the interference of the two demon lords.”
“Aha, you mean you lack power? But isn’t Reina Sordain the princess of the Frostmas tribe? I remember he said he was very smart.”
“It’s good to hear rumors every other nine out of ten. No, you can’t call their princess incompetent.”
The dracoon clicked his tongue.
“The future of the Surima clan is bleak. I’m expecting something like that to be a princess.”
* * *
“Towers have been built on all continents.”
『Magi was deliberately adjusted so that only half of the interference power could be dispelled.』
It was by no means a small amount, but it was enough to obtain a huge amount of magic again by killing Jason.
“And they didn’t seem to want our help.”
“You are extremely demonic.”
“Yeah, he’s a typical Demon King.”
“But are you going to absorb all the towers from the beginning?”
“Of course not. First of all, I’ll just kill and absorb the power without absorbing anything.”
Not getting the tower was a bit of a waste, but it was an investment for later.
If you absorb the tower now, there is a high possibility that you will notice something unusual.
But if it was simply killed by a hero, he would be desperate and bring more demon lords down.
Well, even if it is the former, the result to be taken to recover the tower is the same, but there is no need to leave the easy way and go back the difficult way.
Berge cut off the communication with the pick-up.
“So from now on?”
Hillen Cargill and the stars, who were waiting on the other side, shone.
“okay. You can look forward to it. It’s five for now, but I’m going to use them to entice more demon lords. Everyone can eat one.”
You are too weak right now to claim to be my family.
“So, let’s raise the level a bit through this job.”
uh huh huh.
Berger was mad.
“But why don’t you eat it yourself?”
“Shhh, you’re eating and absorbing lies, so you can’t eat it.”
“Well then.”
The warriors groaned.
