Episode 180
Suddenly, I had a thought
‘Where do you go after you die?
Not productive, but a good question to pass the time.
Heisel did not believe in the existence of the underworld.
When he was a demon lord, he was stronger than those celestial gods who were helping him.
That is why I knew that the heaven after death, which was talked about in the temple, was just a candy bar to choose a faithful member of the family, and I knew that the hell where the devil resides is the same. ‘
The reality of hell is where demons, contractors, and humans who have been deceived by the devil are taken away.
Now that the temple has collapsed, there are fewer people talking about what will happen after death… , he couldn’t help but wonder.
There is no heaven and no hell.
So where do the dead go?
Where did the countless people who died by themselves go?
Why did he reincarnate as a human?
‘Are there really no heroes?’
I went to see the academy built on the holy sword.
I made up such an excuse for nothing, but deep down in my heart, I couldn’t say that there was no expectation that the descendant of the hero would be the reincarnation of the hero.
‘•••I found out that it wasn’t…
His reincarnation proved that the soul existed.
That question again returned to the question of whether the underworld exists because there is reincarnation—where the dead go.
In the end, it was an unanswerable question, so Heisel decided to stop looking for an answer to this question.
Occasionally, except to pass the time when you’re bored.
But now the question comes to mind again… . Yes, it must be because of the body in front of you.
Seeing the sight reflected at the edge of his field of vision, his steps began to slow.
“Demons! Demons have appeared!”
He couldn’t hear the sounds from all directions.
“•••Are you a demon who designed this? How did you-.”
“Right now, both Gaion-nim and Zachnir-nim are fighting someone.”
There must have been a mixture of sounds that would normally have reacted right away.
The closer I got, the more detailed I could see.
Black hair and an academy cadet uniform.
eat that-
On the floor, the tips of her curls, which had been slightly curled up, were scattered on the floor, and next to them were two cups of drinks mixed with red blood.
As I got closer, I saw his face.
“••• Contact the president right now!”
“No, you don’t know the situation right now…”
Unfortunately, the unrealistic thing he didn’t know didn’t happen.
Unlike when he was a puppet, he couldn’t wish for such good luck now.
“A demon has appeared! Kill it now!”
“There’s something like a white cloud over their heads, so you can easily tell them apart!”
“It seems the academy has taken some action…”
Reality is bound to be different from the wind.
I don’t have… .
would you believe it
My foot stopped.
The gooey drink and crimson blood soaked his feet, but he didn’t care.
Lilith is dead.
Heisel looked down at her without changing her expression.
His half-open eyes were looking in the direction he was coming from, and the blood dripping from the wounds in her chest that seemed to have killed her made her body red.
The floor was smeared with red from what he was going to write until the end.
Unfortunately, it seems that he disappeared after being swept away by the pool of stagnant blood.
“Kill those humans! Find the Demon Lord right now!”
“•••Human bastards, what are you doing to kill our demons!”
Heizel let out the noises from the surroundings and spit it out.
“I just wanted to live as I wanted.”
Was that wish too big?
I was born as a human being. Hero, I was curious about the world he wanted to protect, and I wanted to know what was outside of this continent if possible.
“••• I found it! Heisel-sama! You must avoid this place…!”
“Now humans have dug a trap to catch us…”
Then I heard the rumors about the academy and came here, and by chance… No, now I met Lilith, who I think was their intention.
“Kill the demons! Is that… a disguised demon?
“I think he probably hid in the academy. If you look at the attitudes of other demons, he is in a high position….”
I thought it could be a trap. It would have been more ridiculous to think that it was not a trap, as it was linked to the information said by the person who is supposed to be the main artificial intelligence of this era.
‘Honestly, it didn’t matter.
I never thought I’d meet her, who couldn’t even say goodbye.
It was annoying to be somehow entangled in the fate of the protagonist, but in return I met her again. She thought that if she did not engage more deeply, she would have quite a bit of business.
“By the way….”
The space around the hygel shook and appeared to appear regardless of demons and humans.
“I was stupid.”
They had no intention of leaving the hygels alone.
The demons he hid deep in the ruins suddenly appear in the city, and they are raised overhead as if revealing that they are demons.
Something like a white cloud follows them.
In this chaotic situation, as if by chance, all demons gathered near him, revealing his true identity.
Beside him, humans and demons rushed to take each other’s lives.
Is that also a coincidence?
‘If the succubus can’t even do that, it’s a shame for the race.’
he chuckled
“I’d rather not come out.”
Even if that were the case, Heisel thought that he would have faced a situation similar to this.
It’s the difference between late and fast.
What are the intentions of these guys?
Why would he commit such a thing to himself, who even reincarnated?
‘To make him angry?’
And if he loses his temper and even massacres, the two of them appear here?
A smirk hung from the corner of his lips.
“Now it doesn’t matter.”
Heisel didn’t think deeply.
It didn’t change that I had to come and find out why, and it didn’t mean that she would come back.
“If you kill the demons, this will be resolved… gagging.”
CC =
-r=V-
Heizel broke the neck of a mercenary who was running towards him.
“It doesn’t matter how you act.”
He released the magic that had been hidden deep within his body.
Humans, who seemed to run into the overwhelming amount of magic that wrapped around Hygel’s body, stopped moving.
Until now, the demons were told not to use magic.
Because he knew what had happened when he accidentally released the Magi.
So, up until now, demons have only dealt with humans with ‘pure’ physical abilities. This is why, no matter how weak the demons were, only mercenaries and cadets were able to deal with the demons.
‘That’s right, it’s nothing compared to the investigative team that specializes in dealing with demons or the strong ones:
At least it wouldn’t be to the point where he couldn’t attack the academy, which lacked the main power.
After all, it happened like this… .
“From now on.”
No more patience.
“The use of magic is permitted.”
Joy and joy were young on the faces of the demons.
They were fighting with shackles, and as soon as the restrictions of Magi were lifted, they began to overwhelm humans.
“Wait, sleep… huh.”
“Shut up, human.”
Beasts, elves, and humans all turned to the floor after a while, and the demons fervently looked at him as if that wasn’t enough.
Eyes full of what you want.
Heizel chuckled and whispered low, still looking at the floor.
“This is the first order. From now on…”
If this is what they want… ‘ That’s what you should do.
‘If it’s already their plan anyway.’
Even if you escape, you will get caught up again by an unexpected coincidence or misfortune.
They’ve always been like that
If so, you should.
“Kill all humans in the city who come rushing in.”
perfectly.
Demons scattered around.
They quickly disappeared, as if bursting with an impulse that had been suppressed until now.
While screams were heard from all directions, Heisel stood still with a face not knowing what to think.
ttn
Allen’s expression hardened as he ran around the city with Milred.
“The demons have appeared!”
“This is what the demons did!”
“••• Kill everyone who has a mark on their head!”
A small cloud floated over the heads of those who looked like ordinary villagers and glistened.
As if to indicate that they have something.
Others pointed to them as demons and raised their weapons.
Frightening to hear that, the demons in human form revealed their identities and fought against them.
That is, the more Allen traced the space, the more the commotion grew, and now he did not hide that he was a demon, and even used magic.
Unlike him, who guessed that Estedor was behind the shadowy Queen’s information, from a certain moment in the city, demons were pointed out as the mastermind behind the attack on the city.
The sense of incongruity was also something that could not be understood if the overall situation was not grasped.
“Junior. Shouldn’t I help other people?”
Milred made a sad face as the number of casualties increased as they crossed the space.
But Allen shook his head.
“Since we’re almost done with what might be called the instigator, it would be more helpful to kill him.”
“•••Is the two of us enough?”
he is not a problem
After the battle with Nidhogg, Allen gained confidence in his skills.
Before getting the new role, the win rate was half and half with the 7th rank wizard. However, as he gained a new role and climbed to a certain trajectory until Bestla’s swordsmanship, the 7th rank mage was no longer a problem.
The same is true for wizards in the early eighth rank.
‘Since the eight rivers usually reach the late 8th rank and the early 9th rank… :
One number below the forearm.
mid 8th rank.
Allen’s skills were already at that level.
Of course, this is a story limited to wizards.
If it was a warrior of a similar level, Allen’s combat power was lowered by one level.
It was because the warrior had no gods he could prey on.
However, even if a talented person of the eight-class class appears, it can endure to a certain extent.
‘But what about Milred?’
As an academy cadet, he is a 5th-level wizard among his peers, and his skills are similar to Miss Francisca.
Unlike those who usually get stuck for several years at each level, someone with similar abilities to a senior in one or two grades.
However, assuming that there is a capable Nidhogg-class, or a Grandel-class, can she survive?
Had Allen thought for a moment, came to her with a different meaning of silence? She paused in front of the space where Allen now only had to go one more step.
“•••I’ll wait here, junior.”
She smiled embarrassedly at the fact that she was weaker than her juniors and that she was sending him alone, but she did not change her choice.
“Aren’t you saying that I’m not helpful if my juniors are worried about that anyway?”
“it…”
I couldn’t say it wasn’t.
because it was true
I was drawn to her and carried her around, and when I met a real formidable enemy, there was no time to even pay attention to her.
‘Especially if the next person you meet is Heisel.’
You should be nervous too.
She smiled lightly at Allen’s consideration and patted her on the back.
“I’m not a child. I know that my juniors have more skills than me… and that there are opponents out there that I can barely compete with if I have to pay attention to such juniors.”
Allen nodded at her insight, as if unexpectedly.
“Then I’ll stop those trying to get in here. The juniors do the job of the juniors.”
“It’s hard to believe that not so long ago I was plagued with guilt.”
“Hey, really!”
At Allen’s joke, she raised her hand, but quickly patted him on the back and took a step back.
“••• Be careful not to get hurt.”
“Senior too.”
u O •• o’ •
She turned around, being careful not to fall within the boundary line that Allen had said about moving another ball.
Allen took a deep breath and took a step forward.
I could feel my heart beating slowly, a little faster.
‘At a time like this, Bestla said one word at a time.’
If she were awake now… Are you scared? Why didn’t these words come out?
Allen crossed the space, putting aside his nonsensical thoughts… .
“•••I thought one of the two would come.”
Unlike other places, a young man sitting alone greeted him.
The reincarnation of the first demon king, Haigel Kailus.
He stared at him, letting go of his usual frivolous smile.
At the same time, the white book began to flap frantically.
『■■■■ and the connected book recognizes the object. ■I am aware of the king! There is a target related to the devil nearby!」
『■■■■ and the connected book want to stop the Demon King!』
『Conditions met!』
『—Stop and kill the Demon King who is turning to the path of evil.』
“or.”
“—Stop his evil deeds and attract him as your comrade.”
It was a request for a white book that appeared after a long time.
