253. Disposal
The towers are merged.
Finally there were six.
Berge decided to absorb the tower with peace of mind.
‘If you’ve sent 15, you’ve already sent a lot.’
The response of the demon realm, who secretly devoured the towers one by one as a hero, or openly absorbed as a demon king, would be the same.
I’ll do anything to get the tower back.
“15, no now 14.”
If you eat them all, 20 will evaporate from the demon realm’s point of view. 20 out of 50. The Demon Realm will never give up these towers.
“Who is the Elder Demon King?”
“They are retired demon kings.”
It has been more than ten thousand years since the Demon Realm began the war of dimensional conquest.
Since he has been steadily working with 50 towers, the number of conquered dimensions is uncountable, and there are many demon lords who have conquered multiple dimensions, and there are many retired people at the end.
“If you retired, wouldn’t you have retired because you were weak?”
There is a thing called heyday in the body. Most living things grow with time, but when that critical point is crossed, they begin to age and get sick.
The demons were no exception. The heyday cannot last forever. Demon lords who have passed their heyday are retiring.
“Then you will be weaker.”
“Even if Alain is a special dimension, it is not easy to conquer other dimensions.”
Arain, who ate dozens, was overwhelming, but the heroes of other dimensions were not weak either. Rather, since they are few, they concentrate their powers of all dimensions to forge a single, extremely sharp sword.
“On average, two demon lords die when conquering one dimension.”
There were cases where they didn’t die at all, but on the other hand, there was a dimension where they killed quite a few demon lords, though not as much as Araine.
2 out of 5. It was a whopping 40% chance, and the elders were talking about those who survived to the end, overcoming all such threats.
Although it was not enough to become an Archduke or Demon Emperor, he could never ignore the power he had accumulated while conquering the dimension.
“If the Demon King is not an idiot, he will send the Demon Lords who have just retired. Those who have not yet fully finished their heyday.”
“If not, what level is that…?”
“Everything is different. I can’t give you a definitive answer…”
Berge confirmed Hillen Cargill. With this incident, he became a hero who ate as many as four demon kings.
His momentum and energy became stronger than ever before.
“If you are at your level, you can win.”
“I hope you come sooner.”
“Yes, I agree.”
By the way, if this is the case, there will be no need to bring this guy with you.
“Pagan.”
“Yes, my lord!”
“Eat.”
“…Uh, so that’s not the direct meaning, is it?”
“Don’t be annoyed by the obvious.”
“…I’m a hero again for the first time.”
“Are you going to go up and kill the demons and demons?”
“I wondered if there was something different about the Demon King.”
Count Pagan stabbed Lamia in the heart. The demon king’s magic was absorbed by the hero as it was.
“I’m sure the kids are doing well too.”
“Aina-nim is more enthusiastic than anyone else, so she will do well.”
Aina was upset that she was pushed by Roselle, and she was more passionate about hunting the Demon King than anyone else.
Competing with each other and chasing a stronger power. This is a very desirable situation.
Even more so at the time when it was scheduled to face the demon realm in the not-too-distant future.
“Hmm, I had a good idea.”
Berge rubbed his chin.
There’s nothing to notice anymore anyway, and if you kill all the Demon Kings, whether you’re playing or not, the result will be the same…
“It wouldn’t hurt to use Reina to gather them all together and then kill them all at once.”
“no.”
Hillen shook his head resolutely.
“no?”
“Yes, no. Never, never.”
“Convince me.”
“Didn’t you tell me your plans before?”
“…I understood.”
Reputation is important to Hillen’s plan. It’s important to show people that you’ve made these achievements.
The most important thing is the Demon King, but what if we take care of them all without knowing that they have come?
If you shout for a hundred days, the picture that Hillen wants will not come out.
“It makes the most sense to build a tower, let people know about it, and deal with it right away.”
“I guess so.”
Tug, I was able to deal with it in one go.
It’s going to be annoying.
Berger sighed sadly.
* * *
It didn’t take long for the 14 demon lords to come anew.
It was a testament to how serious the demon realm was taking this situation.
“Did you go?”
Reina, who entered Daejeon with the door open, stared at Berge with a shriveled expression.
“Why?”
“…Did your mother drink tea leisurely while she was suffering?”
“Would you like to have a drink too?”
“It became.”
“Cherry-flavored candy?”
“I will eat that.”
Reina’s expression softened a little as she bit the candy in her mouth.
“I was suspicious.”
“doubt?”
“Did I say Janey? Haven’t you absorbed the tower of Lamia?”
“It did.”
“The demon lords who have descended asked me why I couldn’t contact Janey.”
“therefore?”
“Of course he said he didn’t know. She said that she hadn’t been looking for her true maiden since she came, and that she is not in a position to move around because of Jason.”
“Then, did it go well?”
“Then, this time, the demon lords died, but I asked what was the reason why only the original woman was fine.”
“.
There were not one or two strange things to cover with the names of Seorima and Reina. Unless the demons were stupid, it was natural to doubt Reina.
“How did you shake it off?”
“Do you think you got rid of it?”
“If it wasn’t for you, you wouldn’t have been talking to me so peacefully.”
“…I said bastard Jason.”
“yes?”
“I swear to the great first demon king and standard, and Jason said he was not worth living for.”
“Really? you?”
Berger was loud. The corners of his lips rose as he imagined thick swear words coming out of that noble mouth.
“…are you having fun?”
“···Not funny. Still, I’m glad I passed it once.”
“…Yes, I’m glad if I’m lucky.”
“And soon you will be able to repay the insult. In about four days, everyone will be seated and the tower will be built. Be aware of your location.”
“Are you going to kill them all at once?”
“It is not. We plan to inflate the reputation of Hillen and the heroes by defeating them one by one.”
“Then it will take months no matter how fast you go.”
“It will take about a month with moderate adjustments.”
“Well, unless you’re an idiot, they’ll find out that Jason is dead.”
Until now, Jason was not dead, so he made good use of it. However, if that fact enters the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm will also notice that something has gone wrong.
First of all, Reina will be suspicious. It’s because she was the one who greeted the demon lords by directly mentioning Jason.
But Berger won’t be able to avoid it. Because they kissed and deceived Archduke Alkyne.
“Does not matter.”
“Honestly, she has no doubts that you will win.”
Berge’s strength had already far exceeded that of the Demon King. She thought that maybe it could be comparable to the Demon Emperor.
Even if a few elder demon lords attack, it is difficult to kill Berge.
It is true that they are strong, but no matter how well packaged they are, in the end they will not be able to become either an Archduke or a Demon Emperor, so they are retired as Demon Kings.
The problem is then.
“What do you want to do after you organize them and put the towers together?”
There are two paths for Berge.
Swallow them all and go back into the Demon Realm.
Or live forever in Araine.
As long as the situation had reached this point, it was impossible for him to return to the demon realm as a demon king who conquered the dimension.
“It’s a very obvious question.”
Berger didn’t even bother with her question.
“I will put all the towers together.”
“That means.”
okay.
“I will become a demon.”
and.
“We’re going to get rid of that outdated, fucking standard.”
Berge grinded his teeth.

After Hilderan’s banquet, all the princesses returned to their respective kingdoms.
Among them was the second princess of the Werft Kingdom, Louise Werft.
“···too bad. Top life was also quite fun.”
She liked axes, but the race could not be deceived. The blood of the dwarves flowing through her body shuddered at the collaboration created by the craftsmen and the Demon King’s Tower.
“Oh, Louise…! I’m so glad you came back safely!”
“Did not the Demon King do anything bad to you?”
“We must form an alliance with the Demon King of Fire.”
So, worrying about her and welcoming her, he abruptly brought it out in front of his father and brother.
“···suddenly?”
“Why, why?”
“I have seen it.”
“You see? What do you mean?”
“Magic gun. Golem. moving tower. And the sky tower and huh, huh… Even the teeth of a black man.”
Louise, who could not confidently say that it was the teeth of the Black Flame Dragon, quickly faltered and continued.
“The magic cannon was more destructive than ours.”
Golems were larger and had greater strength and mobility.
The moving tower itself was a miracle.
“Above all, the Sky Tower…”
“The Sky Tower?”
“It flies faster than wealth. It is a heavenly fortress covered with various magic, imprints, and weapons. We cannot stop it.”
“I saw that splendor through the recorder. Do you mean that we should form an alliance with them for our safety?”
“no. It’s not like that. It’s a more fundamental problem. I know that the Demon King has already delivered the story through Hilderan.”
“If it’s a story…”
The prince flicked his fingers lightly.
“You mean that you can send artisans to the tower.”
“It was reported from Hilderan. To be honest, if it was a little harsh, my brother and I were negative. The Demon King is an unbelievable existence.”
“No, definitely. We must send dispatch and establish technical cooperation.”
“The tower is great, but in the end it was our abducted artisans who made it. There is no need to take a greater risk while learning that skill…”
“there is.”
Louise nodded her head resolutely.
“As Abamama said, the artisans are our artisans. However, their skills have surpassed the current craftsmen in the kingdom at once.”
“The skill of a craftsman is like that overnight.”
“Nevertheless, their skills have improved. That means there are elements of that in the Demon King’s Tower.”
The eyes of the king and prince changed at the serious words.
“What do you mean?”
“Actually, the magic cannon, the bridge of the tower, and the sky tower through the floating stone are great, but that doesn’t matter.”
“What if?”
“The greatest value of the Demon King Tower is the tower itself.”
“tower?”
“Why can’t we build a bigger golem? Isn’t it because we can’t build a nuke to handle it? If you want a tower to walk, or a tower to fly, you’ll need a superior nucleus. But do you know that? They didn’t make it. I don’t have the skills to do that.”
It was natural. I kidnapped dwarves without such skills. No matter how good the craftsmen they were, they couldn’t create something that didn’t exist.
“No nukes? If not, how?”
“To be precise, it’s not that they don’t have nukes, it’s that they didn’t build what we think are nukes.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s a tower. The tower is the subject and controls everything. The tower takes care of itself and acts as a nuke and makes everything run smoothly.”
“…the tower has such a function?”
“The demon king called it the ‘power’ of the tower.”
“The power of the tower…. It cannot be called simple technology, so it is appropriate.”
“We have to study it. do you know Why did the skills of the kidnapped artisans sharply rise? That’s because the Demon King allowed me to study the tower.”
“··········!”
“··········!”
The eyes of the king and prince widened.
“Really? Is the Demon King really?”
“Yes that’s right. If Werft cooperates with them, surely the Demon Lord will bet the same conditions. Since Hilderan has already formed an alliance first, we no longer have to look at other countries.”
At Louise’s fervent speech, they felt that their hearts were gradually moved.
“Um, good. But I can’t decide everything on my own. Please do not put this part on the agenda.”
“Yes.”
“By the way···.”
“Do you have anything to say?”
“…is this the Louise I know?”
“Perhaps a demon wearing leather…”
“What are you talking about?”
The king and prince swallowed their breath with sharp eyes.
“…No, that’s it.”
The prince stuttered.
“No matter how you look at it, it’s not like you…”
“It’s a sympathy. It looks like my daughter is not my daughter. My daughter was a warrior who only loved axes…”
“Who do you know as a barbarian?”
“Ummm… you don’t know, but there were rumors like that. I wonder if the soul of a barbarian was reincarnated in a dwarf costume…”
“Brother!”
“I didn’t say anything.”
The king quickly drew a line with the prince.
After that, the alliance with the Demon King of Fire was officially approved at the Eojeon meeting.
