137. Marriage
A sweltering heat wave sweeps the ground.
They are aiming for Aurtaikan and his army.
The hottest flame since the foundation of the world burns the demons.
“Never back down!”
However, even if Aurtaikan dies soon, he is still the Four Heavenly King.
A single bag that covered the entire southern part of the country alone.
The sword that the Demon King trusts the most.
won’t break
won’t break
“Die here!”
Choi Jong-oh’s Confession
Genocide for humanity
Thirty-five thousand six hundred murders
One sword splits in two. The sword was divided into four, eight, sixteen, eleven and five more times, and became thirty-six thousand five hundred blades and flew towards the summoned beasts.
The power to knock even high-ranking pets down in one hit. Suzaku’s body, which received all the blades in one body, was torn into tens of thousands of pieces.
─Kiruu-!
“Die, you damn firebird!”
The heart of Suzaku torn apart. After discovering the essence of Zhujak, Aurtaikan threw himself at the essence.
If the essence collapses, even a 5-star pet won’t be able to maintain its body.
-You’re so stupid.
However, the opponent is the main character. The Phoenix, who oversees healing and regeneration among the four gods, is also famous as an immortal creature.
You can’t die if your body is torn into tens of thousands of pieces.
Zhujak, who regained his human form in an instant, blew out flames, aiming at the Aurtaikan that flew right in front of him.
─It was bothersome to get close, so that’s good.
“Wow!?”
The flame burns the whole body. A flame of annihilation, a curse that prevents regeneration. Even the Four Heavenly Kings with strong vitality cannot regenerate them.
But even if the skin melts, the muscles burn, and the bones creak.
Aurtaikan does not give up.
Beyond the body, with the power of the mind.
Beyond the spirit, with the power of the soul.
Old beliefs and wills guide his body.
“Die!”
Aurtaikan’s Bakdo is aiming for the main job. With a light sigh, Shujak took the blade with his body, and went into Aurtaikan’s arms, not caring whether the blade was pierced or not.
As she reached out her palm to her chest, the heat that was boiling inside her body moved.
-Now, let’s finish it.
Towards the heart of Aurtaikan – the flame of world creation is shot out.
* * *
Looking down at the ashes of Aurtaikan, Suzaku prepared a finishing attack, admiring the vitality of the Four Heavenly Kings.
When she, who was loaded with fluttering flames, was about to return even the ashes to nothing, Stella stood up and stopped the shujak.
“for a moment.”
—What’s going on, Duke?
“Give that guy over to me.”
—Oh, are you going to take my prey?
“Please. Let me handle the last one.”
─… … I will leave you in debt
“thank you.”
Suzaku carefully looked into Stella’s eyes. Suzaku, who was well aware of what she had gone through and how he felt about Aurtaikan, sighed lightly and stepped aside.
In front of the burnt Aurtaikan, Stella, who summoned Ifrit, kicked Aurtaikan’s body and screamed as if it were a cylinder.
“you! what do you do! did you! know!?”
Booth… … .
Each time her kick hit, carbonized protein flew all over the place. It was as if the souls of the dark demons were scattered everywhere.
Stella, who had been scattering Aurtaikan’s soul in all directions, retreated as if exhausted only when the sap came out of his corpse.
I even summoned my summoned beast, Ifrit.
“Ifrit.”
—Stella.
“please.”
─… … go over there and rest
Saying so, Ifrit let Stella into a nearby tent.
During the war with the demons.
The loss of her, a four-star summoner, was a devastating loss, but no one was chasing her.
After a while, Ifrit stood in front of Aurtaikan’s corpse and began to kick at the dying Four Heavenly Kings.
-So, you should have lived a good life.
The spirit king of fire.
After summoning the primordial fire, Ifrit extinguished Aurtaikan as it was, and left to deal with the small demons.
─… … stellar.
From a psychic connected to Stella, her emotions flow.
The Fire Spirit King spilled water for the first time that day.
* * *
“it’s okay?”
“yes. are you okay. Who do you think I am?”
The war is over.
The damage received from the demons was not small, but it was sufficient to recover.
At least in a peaceful world without demons.
People have acquired a world without demons, and the demon continent where demons lived is also being purified little by little since the demon king disappeared.
In time, humanity will completely rule this planet.
“If you’re fine… … .”
“By the way, Ian, what are you going to do now?”
“… … How are you doing?”
“You should get married, right?”
Stella said so and worried about Ian’s future. I will also defeat the Demon King. I must have driven out the demon army as well.
Ian now had to go to marry. The opponent is also determined.
‘I don’t have time for that… … .’
It is a promise to the emperor. Can’t postpone it now I’ve exhausted all excuses for procrastinating, and I can’t ignore the Emperor’s orders just because I have to go to a heaven that doesn’t know whether or not it exists.
When Ian made a tea that he didn’t like, Stella, who had a rough idea of the reason, looked at him while coughing and blushing.
“Hmmm- over there, Ian?”
“… … why?”
“You don’t like marrying the princess?”
“Then, would you like it?”
“Then how about me?”
“… … What?”
Ian, wondering if there was something wrong with his ear, dug his ears and asked Stella. I wonder if he had already spit it out once, or the second time, Stella, who was not shy, pointed at Ian and shouted loudly.
“with me! How about getting married!”
“No, suddenly?”
“Hey, all of a sudden! You’ve been sending signals ever since!”
Not that it wasn’t, but she and other women kept sending him signals that he liked him.
Ian wasn’t even an idiot, and there was no way he couldn’t not notice the signals of women who were lashing out like that.
However, I deliberately pushed them away, thinking that they would catch the Demon King and leave anyway. I refused, thinking that he would not give me unnecessary affection.
Now you don’t know when you’ll be able to go home? There was no need to push me away, and it was better to be with Stella, whom I had often encountered in games and in real life, rather than a naughty princess who had only talked about it a few times.
After thinking for a while, Ian looked down at Stella. She looked at Ian’s expression and thought it was something, and she slowly turned her head and started making excuses.
“No, that’s- he, now I’m the duke, right? I think it would be difficult to run the duchy alone… … You mean there’s going to be loads of chaffs trying to get the duke seat too? But if I marry you, all of those things will be resolved at once… … .”
“great.”
“I’m not necessarily selfish, and if you want Noah or anyone else… … yes?”
“let’s get married. stellar.”
“Uh, huh?”
She looked at him with a puzzled expression, as if she didn’t know if Ian would accept it. Ian casually put his hand in his pocket.
Inventory connected to the pocket, all kinds of japtem were piled up in it. Ian hunted countless demons, and among them there were items that he could not understand why the demons were holding them.
A diamond ring, which was useless in the game, was one of them.
“Even if our love is a very intriguing relationship… … As long as this contract continues, I will be the husband who loves you forever.”
“Huh?”
“Okay then- Stella. As a husband, I have a question for you first.”
Stella swallowed her saliva and waited for Ian to speak.
I wondered what to do with questions such as how many children would you like?
How many children does he want? I could give birth to as many children as I wanted… … .
“How many concubines can you have?”
“… … What?”
Stella opened her eyes and looked at Ian at the absurd question to the extent that even the newlyweds, who were weak for a hundred years, would soon lose their love.
However, Ian was sincere. He thought that Stella couldn’t hear him, so he opened his mouth again.
“So, how many more wives… … .”
“You crazy bastard!”
Stella, who had been pounding loudly at Ian just before, finally couldn’t bear it and slapped him on the cheek.
* * *
“Yeah, did you decide to do it in the end?”
When the emperor heard the news that he was going to marry Stella, he groaned and looked down at Ian.
I tried to marry Ian and the princess and make them into the imperial family, but she said that she would marry the duke… … .
From the point of view of the empire, it was not a bad thing, but from the point of view of the emperor, it was a very unsettling factor.
In this age where the logic of power rolls around, if a being powerful enough to defeat even a demon king does not become an emperor, there may be some talk of who will become.
“I cannot trample the love of young people with my greed. Ivenoah will be very disappointed, but… … Or, what, would you rather have the Duke as your second wife?”
“I came here because of that. your majesty.”
“Is that it?”
Ian coughed a few times as if he was too shy to speak, then looked at the emperor and explained the purpose of his visit.
“… … How many wives I will have, Your Majesty will decide.”
“… … What?”
