125 – All-out War (1)
A week has passed since Sena’s surprise.
There have been no major changes ‘yet’ in the week-long war against the Demon King’s army.
Yes. Till now.
“Whoa.”
An unexpected variable occurred.
The Demon King, who is naturally cautious, usually tends not to take action himself.
Wasn’t it almost stuck in the castle in the original work and in the previous episodes?
But now she suddenly started moving.
‘Why on earth is it moving?’
No matter how hard she tries, she can’t think of a reason why she would move.
At that time.
-Isn’t it because the owner has become stronger than expected?
Jukchang spits out something unexpected.
Ig says as if he agrees with what he said.
-I also agree with what you said. From the looks of it, the Demon King seemed a little surprised when he saw the master’s power. I think he may have moved it himself because he was afraid that his master would grow even more if he stayed like this.
‘Hmm.’
There is certainly a point in what these two people say.
At the time, she pretended to be relaxed, but wasn’t she secretly pushed by me?
Of course, just looking at her, she didn’t give it her all, but it was clear that she was pushed back.
‘From the Demon King’s point of view, is it because he wants to get rid of me?’
To be honest, I was equally surprised.
Igra even obtained a new weapon, but contrary to expectations, the Demon King did not respond well.
‘To be honest, I thought it would be overwhelming.’
If it were me right now, the odds of winning in a fight with the devil would be about 50%.
‘By the way, why did I in the past guarantee that I would win about 90% of the time?’
It seems like it’s based on the assumption that the devil won’t deal with the standards.
That time when I was making excuses instead of excuses.
“Master. “It’s almost time for the meeting.”
Jane, who came into the tent, reports.
I nodded and stood up.
“Okay. Then let’s go to the meeting.”
“Yes.”
With those words, we walked towards the conference room.
***
When I arrived at the conference room, I saw a group of women with serious expressions on their faces.
It seems like they also know how serious the situation is.
“Are you all here? Princess?”
“Yes. “Everyone is gathered now.”
She nodded her head in response to my question.
Jane and I sat down.
Soon, the princess opened her mouth.
“I think you all know this, but just in case you don’t know, I will briefly explain the current situation.”
As she said that, she took out one of her crystal balls.
Soon, she infused her magic there.
-Wow!
A map was drawn in Sujeong-gu and a screen appeared.
Then, point to the place marked with an x.
“Now this is the headquarters of the Demon King’s army. According to the report to the detection team, there is a demon lord here. Perhaps soon the devil will come to the front and make his own move. “I didn’t know that the devil would move directly.”
The yanderes nod their heads as if they agree with those words.
It seems like they had no idea that the demon king who was stuck in the castle in the previous episode would move.
At that time.
“Hmm. Anyway, why does the devil suddenly move? “I think this is almost the first time I’ve seen it in my long life.”
Elsh, the former elf queen, speaks in a somewhat surprising voice.
The moment I was about to answer those words.
“I think it’s probably because of the professor.”
The princess answered on his behalf.
Soon, he continues.
“There are two natural enemies of the devil. The hero, Professor Saiwa. There are these two people. But in the former case, to be honest, it is not yet a threat to the devil. “Because it didn’t grow properly.”
I was silently nodding my head as if I had nothing to say in response.
The princess’s gaze moves to me.
“But, the professor is different. Last time, the person who lost in the fight between the Demon King and the Professor was none other than the Demon King. The professor was stronger than I expected, so I moved before he could grow any further. “If the professor becomes stronger than this, from the Demon King’s perspective, it is no different from defeat.”
“Definitely…”
Everyone nods with an expression of understanding.
Then, the princess changes the topic.
“Anyway, let’s talk about the reason why the devil is moving, and now we have to figure out how to deal with it… There are two ways.”
They looked at the princess with somewhat surprising expressions at those words.
The princess spread her index and middle fingers, then folded one.
“First of all, in some ways it is the easiest method. “We will wait here until the devil comes and then take action in advance.”
“It’s definitely standard.”
“It is the devil who has overwhelming power, so in some ways it is better for him to set a trap in advance.”
They say that the princess’s methods are not bad.
The princess explains her second method.
“And the final method is for a few people to infiltrate and kill the devil. Well, this is nothing but a double-edged sword. If this operation is successful, there will be little damage. But.”
That means the probability of dying is high.
Listening to the princess’s backstory, I fell into trouble for a moment.
‘Hmm. The second method isn’t bad either.’
Originally, I would have been drawn to the first method because it was safe.
However, now there is no reason for me to use Sai to kill the Demon King.
The reason why I tried to kill the Demon King.
That is none other than to obtain the reward of return without returning.
However, now it seems that even if I kill him, he will not return.
Isn’t that true, too, because the readers the author mentioned are the ones who have completed the opening chapter?
‘It was definitely unexpected when I killed the Demon King in the previous episode.’
Probably, from the readers’ perspective, how could they not be embarrassed when the Demon King suddenly and unexpectedly died?
What’s more, the person who killed the Demon King was planning on abandoning the heroines and running away, so he wouldn’t be able to do it if he didn’t feel the heat.
‘The author, seeing as he’s not saying anything, it obviously doesn’t matter.’
Every time I felt a sense of crisis, he forcibly stopped me.
After making a decision, I slowly opened my mouth.
“Then let’s go with the second method.”
“Yes?”
The next moment, the female party, including the princess, opened their eyes.
They turn their heads and look at me.
“Let’s do it the second way? Professor?”
“Yes.”
“Uh, um. “It’s a bit like what I said, but isn’t this too much of an unreasonable method?”
“I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch. “Anyway, if you put your mind to it, isn’t it possible to escape just by taking Rin, Ran, or Roswin?”
“Hmm…”
The princess looks thoughtful at my words.
I continued.
“When the Demon King is anxious now, I think it is right to attack. It is clear that her vision has narrowed now. “I think it’s probably impossible for her to infiltrate now otherwise.”
“Whoa. “Assuming you are going, then who do you plan on taking with you?”
I slowly looked around at my companions.
‘Hmm. I will definitely take one of the two, Rin or Lan, and…’
I was wondering who to take, and soon I mentioned the members of the infiltration team.
“Jane, Lynn, Eve. “I think this is appropriate.”
“Yes? What about me, Professor!?”
Sena stood up and protested at my words.
As if asking why I was left out.
I answered that question without any hesitation.
“Of course you can’t infiltrate because of your divinity. In the case of you and Sai, it’s obvious that if you sneak in, you’ll be found out right away, so there’s no reason to take you with them.”
“Keuung…”
Sena keeps her mouth shut, as if she has nothing to say.
At the same time.
“Then, can I ask why you are not taking the rest?”
The princess asked in a puzzled voice.
I looked at each person one by one and told them the reason.
“First of all, the princess is of course the center of the empire, so there is no need to say anything. And in the case of Margaret, since she is the princess’s bodyguard, it is natural that she stays.”
I shifted my gaze to Elsh.
Soon, he opened his mouth.
“In the case of Elsh, although he is retired, he is the one who commanded the elves. “The moment you send this person to a dangerous place, there may be a backlash from the elves with whom you formed an alliance.”
“······.”
Elsie remains silent, as if she has nothing to refute.
I turned to the last remaining Roswin.
“And the student council president’s abilities are not suitable for infiltration. Rather than infiltrating, it specializes in slaughtering demons on the front lines with large-scale magic.”
The princess was at a loss for words after my explanation.
It seems like this is such a straightforward opinion that there is nothing to say.
“Ha. But how are you going to infiltrate? This time the altar is different. It is clear that the Demon King’s army will be on strict guard. Professor.”
“Yes. Well, I guess so. “I’m a little worried about that…”
“You don’t have to worry about that. Human.”
At that time, an unexpected person intervenes in the conversation.
That being was none other than Roswin’s pet, Divine Dragon.
I looked at him and tilted his head.
“Huh? “I don’t have to worry?”
“That’s right. “It looks like it’s because of Maggi, isn’t it?”
“Uh, um. Yes?”
“I can solve that.”
“Huh? “How are you?”
“Due to the last incident, it is possible to deceive the energy within the body into magical energy. “At that time, this body wasn’t just suffering.”
No. Anyone can see that it looks like they just suffered it?
That thought crossed my mind for a moment, but since there was nothing good to be said about it, I just kept my mouth shut.
“Anyway, is it possible to disguise yourself as a demon?”
“That’s right. Of course, no matter how long it is, it only lasts 3 days.”
“That’s enough.”
3 Days is enough to beat the devil.
After barely persuading the princess that day, the infiltration team, including me, moved towards the main base where the Demon King was located.
