029. Jespine
It was really a coincidence.
Immediately after releasing the Brave Troops, Ernyl came to Berge.
“I have a favor.”
“I don’t think you are in a position to do what you ask.”
“I know one of the secret warehouses of the high nobles of the kingdom.”
“Just speak.”
“I need seniel powder.”
“Powder for Elemental Contract?”
“yes.”
Hundreds of years ago, an elf named Seniel returned to the human kingdom. At the request of the king, she made a supplement so that humans could make a contract with the spirits more smoothly, and it was Seniel Powder.
“Isn’t your blood more effective?”
However, it was a supplement used by those who lacked sensitivity to spirits. There was no need to use Ernyan, who had already signed a contract with the spirits and showed outstanding talent.
“I will mix it with my blood and use it. As you know, the tower has very little mana, so help is inevitable.”
“Are you planning on making a contract with a new spirit?”
“yes.”
“Middle class?”
“I do not know.”
Her answer was ambiguous, but Berger had a rough guess.
is a high-level spirit.
‘I think it was noisy once in my last life…’
Among humans, there are not many spiritists. The number of spirits that contracted with the higher spirits was small enough to be counted with one hand.
He made a contract with such a higher spirit at the young age of only twenty-seven. At that time, Hilderan promoted her achievements extensively, and I remember that human animists from all over the continent flocked to Hilderan.
But now, he said that he would sign a contract three years in advance.
‘What’s the difference?’
I was kidnapped like never before.
I lived in the tower for several months.
But isn’t that rather a minus?
He looked at her, but a bright smile returned. Well, you know what to do. It’s not that important.
“It’s a prepayment.”
“It is the Felsen region of the Akan Kingdom. There’s a secret mansion in the castle called Felto. There is a warehouse in the basement.”
“It was hidden quite far away.”
“That way, if something goes wrong, we won’t be seized.”
“You knew it.”
“The spirits see and hear quite a few things.”
She confided in more detail about the nobility’s warehouse.
“In Hilderan, raw meat is a secret warehouse of a great nobleman, so you must have a lot of money in clothes.”
“Can the princess of the kingdom tell the Demon King about that?”
“It means that the kingdom’s property was stolen abroad, so wouldn’t it be okay?”
‘I’ll have to move myself.’
I wanted to see for myself how the situation on the continent was going. Fortunately, it was possible because it was not revealed to the outside as a Demon Lord.
“Seniel powder can be obtained relatively easily in the Kingdom of Akan.”
For humans, animists are by no means uncommon. Naturally, there were not enough facilities for an elemental magician, and only Akan called the Magic Kingdom could smoothly obtain what they wanted.
“Not to mention.”
So I went down the mountain.
“If I had known that you were joking like this, I would have just ordered you.”
“No, where the hell did you see this…”
“Who are you, you?”
The mercenary, who had pushed Granada to the corner, barely corrected his posture. Strength entered the hand holding the sword.
“The slave masters you persecute.”
“gibberish!”
“That sounds right! Bullshit!”
The mercenaries and Granada shouted a second apart.
The mercenary clenched it.
It was like watching a very childish play. It’s funny that a being at that level is a slave, and it’s funny to push it as it is.
They only looked like they were making fun of them.
‘Who are you? Why is such a strong person on the outskirts of Horton Walk…’
“Who are you guys like that?”
“·················ogue.”
“Are you saying you don’t want to answer? This body gave me the answer.”
Berger laughed. The mercenaries trembled as they lived in the midst of laughter.
A newly summoned Demon King is weak. Dimensional interference makes it so. He wants to deter the invaders and give strength to the warriors to make the dimension safer.
There is only one way to get rid of that interference, and that is to twist the interference that is given through the tower and magic points.
Or, even if you are constrained by strengthening your own power with an elixir or magic point, it raises the total amount of power itself.
Berge couldn’t afford that.
All the Magi were sent to the Demon Kings for money, and at most they ate only a few elixir. Only a small amount of magic was obtained from it.
However.
That was enough.
Not all powers are suppressed. is the ratio 10% of the strong and 10% of the weak are inevitably different.
And Berger.
Even at the Demon King Military Academy, which has been running for thousands of years, he was a Demon King who was given the title of ‘the greatest of all time’.
Of course, the limited power had to be unique.
And he wasn’t merciful enough to tolerate a cheeky ‘human’ who dared to raise his eyes straight in front of him.
“It is polite to say that if something goes, something comes.”
The demon king’s flame spurted out a little.
Sharp claws were placed in the place where the flame had been extinguished. Dark red scales faintly covered the skin.
“Hey, demons…!”
The mercenaries recognized the magic that fluttered with the flames. He knelt down at the power of his grip on the body.
‘Is it okay to show your magic so openly?’
Granada was blatant enough to think so. As much as it was blatant, there was a shiver.
There was only one person who could resist in the riot.
thick-
“Dirty demon!”
A brilliant blue light aura wrapped around the mercenary’s whole body. It pushed the magic and moved the body forward.
The forged blade protruded larger than before. cut off the flow of magic. The mercenaries who were released from the pressure breathed heavily.
But his purpose was not to help his subordinates.
shudder-
Thick boots stepped on the ground. The muscles are extremely inflated.
Quang-
It broke the ground and was shot.
As if for a moment, the distance between the two disappeared in an instant.
The moment Berger saw the opponent’s new model.
A line was drawn.
A compressed auror exploded. The space was torn.
It was infinitely faster. It was sharper and more destructive.
‘Suddenly, where did such a guy come from…?’
Granada jumped up without realizing it. It was never at the level of a single mercenary. He wasn’t even a rotten type in Horton Walk to hunt down crude monsters that came down from time to time.
‘Isn’t it supposed to be an earthquake?’
I felt weak, very weak impatience. He didn’t think the Demon King he knew would lose, but his opponent’s slash was quick and accurate enough to think so for a moment.
and.
blah blah-
When the shrapnel shattered by the shock wave scraped your cheek and disappeared.
When I found the calm shadow in the smoke that had lifted, I realized that it was rain.
“I mean.”
It was held in the hands of the black Berge. The Auror, who cut everything, was blocked by the black flame and could not advance.
The mercenary’s face turned bright red.
“When I came down this time, I wanted to cultivate patience.”
There has already been one failure. He followed standard, but he acted more like a demon king than anyone else.
Now that I think about it, raising the tower to the 20th floor was also helpful. Perhaps, unlike the other demon lords, the response was delayed because of the style of pushing the stage cannons quickly.
“So I actually endured it once.”
When he kidnapped Logger, he turned his back on a princess and ran away.
It was an inevitable choice. It wasn’t obvious that he was the Demon King, and because he was too far away from the tower, the restrictions on his power became more severe.
However, the fact that he crumpled the Demon King’s self-esteem did not change.
“Then, now, nonsensical things are taunting me in my front yard.”
Should I be patient here?
not. Hortonworks had severe restrictions compared to Erzest, but compared to the Dwarf Kingdom, it was almost nothing.
And the arrogance of the princess could be tolerated because he did not know that he was the Demon King, but it was not the one in front of him.
“You, who are you…!”
Pacan-
The sword is broken. A stream of fresh blood flowed from the mercenary’s mouth.
“It’s not an ordinary demon.”
Just like you are no ordinary mercenary.
“It doesn’t matter now. After all, the dead have nothing to say.”
Hwareuk-
The flame grew stronger.
I ate some Aurors and moved on. The mercenary screamed.
“Run away!”
With the last command he fell. The mercenaries turned their backs.
“Who said you could go?”
I never allowed
Berger took one step slowly. As if the space was folded, they blocked their way out.
He waved his hand among the bewildered mercenaries. The long nails cut through the leather armor and stained the body with blood.
At that moment, someone suddenly intervened. It was Kaede.
“A warrior.”
The corners of Berge’s lips rose as he felt the energy of the natural enemy. Kaede drew out his beloved sword in a cold murderous mood.
Tseung-
Her new body shook. The slash that he barely swung was consumed by the flames. Still, it was a step forward.
She quickly drew her sword forward, but a small explosion pushed her away. I rolled to the floor with a scream.
“Wait! You must not kill me!”
Berge’s shadow covered Kaede. His eyes turned to Granada.
“That girl, that girl princess! You must catch it!”
“Is that true?”
“·················ogue.”
“I asked.”
Kaede bit her lip.
“. . . what are you going to do with them?”
“What’s the relationship?”
“These are the knights who came to arrest me.”
“I don’t understand.”
“For some reason, I sneaked out of the Imperial Palace.”
“…the Imperial Palace?”
Not the royal palace?
“If you say you will save them, I will reveal my identity.”
Kaede’s legs trembled. But she didn’t back down.
“It seems you don’t understand your own situation.”
“·················ogue.”
“If you don’t want to say it, don’t. You just have to kill them all.”
“Jessine!”
she exclaimed urgently.
“I am Kaede Jespine, the 9th Princess of the Jespine Empire!”
* * *
The Jasmine Empire.
Berge did not have very good memories with the best of Arain, the strongest empire.
Rather, it was full of bad things.
Come to think of it, the moment his death was predestined was when he kidnapped the Crown Prince of Jespine.
It went pretty well, and my self-esteem as a demon king also pierced the sky. It was not strange even if the bridge of the nose pierced the universe with success and success.
He thought it was okay to fight Jespine and kidnapped the Crown Prince. From that moment on, the entire guild of heroes sharpened their swords and rushed to kill him.
‘Come to think of it···.’
The conversation of the demon kings came to mind in the harmony of the tower.
‘The 9th Princess of the Jespine Empire has disappeared. I’ve been wanting to ask, but maybe it’s not the work of someone here?’
‘I have no intention of touching the empire.’
‘If it’s the 9th Princess, hasn’t the story of marriage with the king of Ormus come and go?’
“Did you run away because you didn’t want to get married?”
“Uh, how is it…”
The princess hurriedly covered my mouth, but the water had already been spilled.
‘The Kingdom of Ormus is a country that has nothing to do with it.’
Although the land is quite large, half of the country is jungles and jungles, so it is a country whose national power is like garbage.
There are no strong men or heroes that stand out, so they are not afraid of retaliation.
‘The problem is the Jespine Empire…’
Unlike Hilderan, Jespine did not have a firm successor.
The 1st and 2nd princes, the 1st and 3rd princes are fighting each other, and the princes and princesses are fighting in the dark by holding their own lines.
It was only later that the 1st Prince ousted all his brothers and sisters and became Crown Prince, but that was later.
‘There is no such thing as a bond between the imperial family.’
They see each other as blood-stained rivals.
‘Maybe they like that there is no competitor.’
Of course, the best way is to not touch the Empire in the first place, but it is impossible to release the lump of meat that has rolled all the way to the front yard as it is.
How much less has it already been revealed that he is the Demon King, but there must be a harvest.
There was another reason.
The necessity of earning more Magi to pay off the debt and the confidence in himself experienced through Hillen Cargill’s bravery.
So he was confident.
that this is edible.
“You go with me.”
“Ki, the knights…”
“I kidnapped the princess, but there must be a witness. Your choice saved them.”
Of course they don’t know.
Berge snatches Kaede.
“You go ahead and carry out your orders.”
“Yes.”
Berge and Granada disappeared.
The wounded knights were stunned until they were discovered by the security forces who felt the magic and ran.
