Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero 230

230 – The Devil Castle

“The Devil Castle is empty? Nonsense…”

Demon King.

The king of monsters and the owner of the Demon Realm, the habitat of higher rank monsters. According to the customs of monsters following the law of the jungle, the strongest monster in the demon realm became the demon king.

But that is a thing of the past.

At some point, the demon king turned into a hereditary successor with his children as his successors.

Like the monarchy of different races.

It was a drastic change in the Demon realm, but there were no major problems. A child born of the demon king’s lineage was stronger than any monster. They killed all monsters that challenged them before ascending the throne, and even after ascending the throne, they ruthlessly killed monsters that stood in their way.

Under such iron-blooded rule, the existence of the Demon King has gained unrestricted power in the Demon Realm.

And the symbol of that power is the Devil Castle.

This place, guarded by hundreds of thousands of monsters, is a place where even Angelica, the Queen of Succubus and the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Lords, cannot relax.

This is not an easy place to get into!

“Is there anything to be so embarrassed about? He probably dug a trap.”

“That can’t be. Those guys are full of pride despite being strong fools. Would you choose to commit suicide rather than set a trap?”

“Is it a story that monsters take care of honor? That’s a lot of fun.”

Frillite sneered. To her, who had valued her honor all her life, the story that her cruel monsters were seeking her honor was unbelievable and ridiculous.

Angelica, who was also classified as the same monster by her ridicule, frowned and asked if she was offended.

“We all know honor, right? Honor is not the exclusive property of you humans.”

“I never said that honor is the exclusive property of man. I just said that it doesn’t suit monsters.”

“So why are you saying it doesn’t suit you?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know that?”

Frillite’s cold eyes pierced the grunting Angelica.

“You guys cringe when you meet a strong opponent, but when you meet someone weaker than yourself, you harass them without hesitation. Regardless of the opponent’s hostile intent. Without the slightest mercy.”

“That, those are monsters with low intelligence…”

“You haven’t forgotten the atrocities you committed at Aiken Hard, have you?”

“…”

In the city of Aikenhad in the Principality of Polizia, Angelica, who had a history of trapping all citizens in a nightmare, shut her mouth.

On that day, it would be a lie to say that she did not feel the joy of trapping humans in nightmares.

Because if I even spit out a lie while being despised, I felt like my throat would really be blown off by Frillite.

Her cloud interjected as she watched Angelica close her eyes naturally to the frillite’s glare.

“Both of you, stop. What if we fight inside enemy lines?”

“…Sorry. I was so excited.”

“It’s okay. Something happened a while ago, and a place can be sensitive as it is a place. You just have to be careful in the future.”

As Cloud defended Frillite, Angelica shouted, feeling unfair.

“Did I just get cursed at?!”

“You can curse me a little.”

But Cloud responded coldly and went ahead, saying let’s concentrate and move again.

‘Why only me? It started with that woman.’

As Angelica was grumbling inside her, Cloud suddenly looked behind her and said to her.

“Oh, that’s right. Will you die if you betray?”

“I can’t even do it because of the contract!?”

“You never know.”

Cloud spoke calmly and continued on his way.

At that sight, Angelica was moved to tears.

‘Since signing the contract, I’ve done everything I ask! I even risked her life to move the old dragon’s corpse!’

Even though it would be no different from a community of destiny now, Angelica became sad once again when she showed her sharp and vigilant appearance.

She felt sorry for her, and Hailey patted her on the back, but she didn’t feel any better.

Cloud and Frillite continued to move without caring about Angelica’s feelings. They proceeded to be wary of traps as much as possible, but there were no traps, and soon they arrived at the top floor of the castle.

A huge stone gate that can be seen as soon as you climb the stairs.

When I opened the stone gate engraved with unknown carvings, a huge, dark corridor appeared without a single light.

Frilite, Angelica, and Hailey were nervous about the ominous energy flowing from the corridor.

“This is… Quite dangerous. We can’t be vigilant… Wait, Cloud?!”

Frillite tried to stop Cloud from moving forward without hesitation. However, it was a beat late and Cloud’s foot touched the corridor.

Hwaaak-

Blue lights bloomed from lanterns lined up on the wall, illuminating the corridor.

The center of the corridor illuminated with blue light.

A man was sitting on a huge throne made of obsidian.

With long white hair, light purple skin, two huge horns on top of his head, a human-like upper body and horse’s legs, he looked at Cloud and his party with a bored expression.

“Are you the hero and his companions?”

After taking a quick glance at Cloud and the others, he stopped looking at Angelica and tilted his head.

“I thought it was a fairly old trend to appease the Four Heavenly Kings… But it seems to be still in use.”

Frilite and Haley, unable to understand what he was saying, narrowed their eyes. Angelica didn’t understand either, but in her case, unlike the previous two, she was restless.

“Eh, Demon King. This is… Well, how did it happen…”

“It has been done. No need to explain. He must have fallen in love with the hero’s passion and kindness, or something like that.”

Angelica hesitated. I was so dumbfounded that I was at a loss for words.

“I’m kind of sweet.”

Cloud shrugged his shoulders.

Ignoring Angelica’s and Hailey’s tired faces, he continued.

“Let’s ask something more than that. Speaking of trends and fads, why was the castle empty? According to Angelica, I heard that it is guarded by an army of thousands of monsters.”

“Because it makes no sense.”

“Can you think of it as an expression of excessive confidence?”

I alone am enough to deal with the likes of you guys.

What is this?

“It’s not like that.”

As if that wasn’t the case, the demon king shook his head.

“I have no intention of fighting you guys. That is why there is no need to deploy soldiers.”

The following shocking remarks by the demon king.

Frilite, who was bewildered, soon expressed his anger.

“…What nonsense is that? Are you trying to destroy us?”

Since she was chosen as a hero, she is a frilly te who has valued her duty as a hero more than herself.

Although she may lose the battle with the demon king, she never thought of avoiding the fight itself. That’s why she heard that her demon king’s words deceived her and her cloud.

When her hand trembled as if she was about to attack at any moment, Cloud’s hand covered the back of that hand.

Frillite turned her head to Cloud. Cloud gave her a look that told her to calm down, and Frillite also gnashed her teeth at it, but somehow she managed her emotions.

“You can’t see me among just colleagues… Are you a lover? To live holding onto a fierce woman, you must be quite capable.”

“You said you had no intention of fighting, right? Then you’d better not play with words like that. It makes you want to rip your jaws open.”

“This is bloody. Be careful.”

At Cloud’s warning, the demon king smiled and nodded.

“So, I want to ask you, is that the end?”

“Of course not. I don’t know anything else, but the most important thing remains. What is the reason why you have sent the Four Heavenly Kings and don’t want to fight now? I don’t think it’s just because I don’t want to die.”

“Ah… There is a misunderstanding. I never gave them an order like that. They moved on their own, each with their own reasons.”

“Do you think that makes sense?”

“If you don’t believe me, just ask. Isn’t there one of them right next to you?”

Cloud was dubious, Frillite didn’t believe it, and Hailey looked back at Angelica, puzzled.

Couldn’t that be real-

“Uh… Well…”

Angelica was scratching her cheek with an embarrassing expression. The cold sweat running down her neck added credibility to the demon king’s words.

“…See you later.”

Now that her motives didn’t matter, Cloud answered with just one word instead of asking a lame question.

In a rush, Angelica spat out her excuses, but no one paid any attention to her.

Frillite and even Haley.

Cloud asked one more question, with Angelica crying behind her.

“Yes. Let’s say the Four Heavenly Kings are like that. But I haven’t heard the reason you won’t fight yet. Doesn’t the demon king have to fight the hero?”

The superficial reason why heroes exist is to defeat the demon king who harms humans. It means that if the demon king has no intention of fighting, there is no need for such a hero to exist.

In this era, there were heroes, and that’s why, as a demon king, he had to have the will to conquer mankind.

But the demon king in front of me didn’t seem to have that, and Cloud pointed it out, but the demon king stared at Cloud instead of answering.

Cloud, who was displeased with the continuous gaze, was about to frown at him, but the demon king said.

“Their soul is contained within you.”

“They?”

“The warriors of the kingdom of Prona in the past.”

“…”

“No need to be surprised. Your soul is so vast that even I can’t understand it, but it doesn’t cover the impurities engraved on your bowl. Some of them have already met there.”

Cloud frowned the eyebrows he was about to frown.

“Have you met them? What, did you die and come back to life?”
