Episode 120. Demon Lord Summon (1)
The heart and soul of the saga.
“Shagar-sama!”
Shagar, who was patrolling the outskirts of the castle, instinctively covered his nose and raised his spear at the approach of a dirty and smelly vagrant.
“Do not come! this bastard Whoa, my nose and feet.”
The vagrant took a step back, as if his attitude was familiar.
“A strange thing appeared in front of our house. Please check… .”
Even a vagabond entered the castle and after a year had passed, the demon king had a strict command to treat him as a citizen, so Shagar clenched his teeth and said,
“It doesn’t matter or you die.”
“Yes, it’s okay.”
It was Shagar who wanted to break the back of the head of a vagrant who did not take his slander seriously, but after receiving the report, he had to check it first, so he spit and followed.
Saga’s castle, outskirts.
Shabby houses built along the walls. This is the den of losers who have sinned in other castles and fled, those who have lost their families in the war, and those who sell their bodies and organs and enjoy entertainment.
“Sick Xs.”
After moving by kicking the beggars clinging to his pants with his boots, Shagar found something strange in front of a house, as the vagrant said.
“Magic circle?”
“Were you also a magic circle? Phew, it was good not to touch it.”
“… This is no ordinary magic circle. I’ll bring the wizard, so make sure no one goes up there.”
“Yes.”
As Shagar disappeared from view, dozens of vagrants flocked in.
“Move away, I come first!”
“First, bottle X. If you go up, it’s over!”
“Aww!”
In this castle, which is protected by a strict barrier, in order for someone to create a magic circle, they have no choice but to obtain permission from the castle’s owner, the Demon King.
And even if permission was granted, there was no way I could draw that expensive magic circle in such a place.
Therefore, the vagrants considered this magic circle to be a magic circle leading to the ‘other world’, where it often appears in the deep world.
After pushing and pushing each other, the demons, as thin as dried cucumbers, climbed into the magic circle and started disappearing from the head, around the time when the neck and chest passed over to the other world. It was suddenly thrown out of the magic circle with a strong impact.
A bum shook his head with a serious expression as he approached the fallen dried cucumber with blood foam.
“It’s dead.”
Those who were fighting fiercely to rise above each other withdrew from the magic circle at the same time.
After a while. Shagar, who arrived with the wizard, sniffed the blood and swung his spear while kicking his tongue.
“Get out of the way, wizard!”
“Shagar. I just had to do this. I already knew what that magic circle was when I came out of the tower. I just wanted to check it with my own eyes. Go.”
The wizard, who covered his nose and mouth with a pure white handkerchief, could not stand it any longer, leaving Shagar alone and almost running out of the suburbs.
“Yes. … stupid bastards Don’t touch it.”
Shagar murmured as he watched the vagrants carrying corpses.
The magic circle that suddenly appeared was a passageway to another world. This is a story everyone has heard and admired at least once in their childhood.
However, there are very few other worlds that have a suitable environment for demons to work in.
Those who stopped even thinking and tried to satisfy their immediate curiosity looked like frogs running wild without knowing the subject in Shagar’s eyes.
“Let’s go.”
When the wizard who had been waiting from afar turned away, only then Shagar turned away.
“I am going now!”
Afterwards, the wizard reported to the demon king about the existence of the magic circle, and the demon king called Shagar, who was waiting.
“You, sir.”
“Eternal glory to Gaigei! Did you call!”
Gaigei, who didn’t like the behavior of his subordinates calling out their names with the same reason that it’s old-fashioned etiquette and that the custom is rude, looked down at Shagar, satisfied with the official greeting he had not heard in a long time.
“I heard that you first discovered the magic circle. What type of magic was it?”
Even though he must have already heard the report from the wizard, he thought that asking a question requires a warrior’s point of view, so Shagar spoke what he felt and saw without any refinement.
“A pillar of magical powers, like black clouds, reached up to the sky.”
Although the expression was different, the opinion of the wizard and the opinion of Shagar were the same. This was like confirming that the magic circle was a passage to another world, so the Demon King made a quick decision.
“Those who volunteer for slavery are also arrogant.”
If you interpret the magic circle, it means this. ‘Please be my master. I’ll give you everything you want.’
However, the amount of mana flowing out of the magic circle is unusual.
“Are you saying that only demons who can handle this mana should come?”
The Demon King of Saga, Gaigei, continued with a snort.
“Shagar, take Ojang Dragun to the magic circle.”
“Yes!”
Shagar, who carried out the orders of the demon king without saying a word, had to return to the demon king’s castle again shortly thereafter.
“… dead? A dragon descendant of a dragon and a dragon mixed with the blood of previous demon kings?”
“Yes.”
Gaigei thought, leaning on the back of the throne. Maybe the environment of the world over there is not suitable for the demons.
“Send Gerios.”
After a while.
“What happened?”
“sorry.”
“her.”
In this way, several times when the sex talents of the Saga died, an ominous rumor began to circulate among the vassals.
“Are you killing the stills?”
“I knew this was going to happen from the moment when they were blunt in answering to the Demon King.”
“Boys, now is not the time for this. Without Gerios the scavenger, it’s time to decide who’s going to dispose of the city’s filth.”
“Ugh.”
The Demon King, noticing this atmosphere in the castle, made a decision after much deliberation.
“Guide me.”
“Yes. Yes? Ma, the Demon King personally comes, heh. I will see you.”
Shagar met the demon king’s indignant eyes and quickly bowed his head and led him to the outskirts.
“That’s it. … Shagar. Was the magic circle like this when you first saw it?”
“no. It is getting bigger and bigger as time goes by.”
The amount of magical power emanating from the magic circle and the unpleasant energy for some reason was so huge that it covered the castle’s sky.
“Listen.”
Rumors of the Saga’s demon king entering the magic circle spread throughout the city as soon as he left the castle, and vassals, nobles, and merchants flocked to the outskirts to see it.
The Demon King thought.
‘Now it’s not just going up to the magic circle to summon slaves.’
Proof as a Demon King. Montmara saw it as a golden opportunity to take the label off.
“Bonma will return.”
His charming voice, like a song, resounded throughout the outskirts, and the affected citizens shouted out loud.
Wow!
But.
“Dead, no. You are dead.”
A few minutes after standing in the magic circle with magnificent cheers, the Demon King returned with his neck separated.
“Even Gaigei… .”
The soaring excitement turned into a fear of the same size. People started to run away like the vagrants who first flocked to the magic circle.
Shagar also wanted to get out of here right away, but he kept an eye on the magic circle until the end to keep his guard duty.
“yes?”
At that moment, a sheet of paper that appeared with a halo over the magic circle was pushed by the wind and fell at Shagar’s feet.
[Only competent ones should come.]
“Everyone stop! A message came from another world!”
The guards who control the site have the highest command in the field. In the absence of the Demon King, his authority could be said to be absolute, so most of them, except for the high-ranking nobles, followed Shagar’s advice.
Although his words and actions were usually rough, it was possible because his humanity was not bad.
“Where, let me show you.”
The wizard, who had fled to the sky, returned and handed him a piece of paper. He nodded and said.
“The mana of another world is mixed. Even if the letters are misspelled, they are the common language of the heart.”
“Now what would you like to do? Wizard.”
If they had to pick the wisest person other than the Demon King, it was this wizard, so the demons looked at him with anticipation.
“Hey, let’s talk first. Let’s prepare paper of similar material and send it to us.”
“All right.”
Shagar went into the building next door, picked up an old book on the bookshelf, and tore the back cover with no text on it, and handed it over to the wizard.
“clean.”
The wizard repeatedly cast the cleaning magic on the paper in his hand, then took it and wrote down the letters by combining the simplest possible words, considering that the other side was not familiar with the deep language.
[death. fear.]
[safety. comeback. want.]
When I put the two lines of paper on the outside of the magic circle, it disappeared in an instant, and a reply arrived quickly.
[Okay, so don’t be afraid to come.]
[If you do a good job, your wish will be granted.]
The wizard was indignant at this cheeky sentence, but he calmed his emotions when he remembered that the neck of the demon king that was rolling around in the corner had been severed by a knife.
“An answer has come.”
Oh oh.
“I’m not going to kill you anymore. Anyone who has confidence in their skills can take on the challenge.”
The wizard knew that they would make a fuss so that they would go up first, but these are also demons with heads. The general and the demon king died right before my eyes, but who would lightly step into that magic circle? I believe in only a piece of paper.
“… I’m not going.”
If this magic circle that spews out vast amounts of mana continues to exist here, the barrier of the castle will be broken within a few days.
This is to lose the biggest advantage of a castle in the saga, so the wizard who looked to the future without the demon king decided to place a bet.
‘The next great demon king is me!’
The wizard, who was planning to rise to the throne of the Demon King by gamble with his life, rose to the top of the magic circle after arming himself with defensive magic.
A wizard who disappeared from head to toe. People waited anxiously.
By the time five minutes had passed. The wizard returned with a look of dismay with one side of his face swollen.
“How about there?”
To Shagar’s question, the wizard looked up with empty eyes and answered.
“… There was a demon king.”
The wizard recites what he saw to the bewildered ones.
“Do you know the Green Seas of the Sulfur Zone?”
“Isn’t that the undead who broke the gates with their bare body? I heard that you have recently taken over three castles.”
When Shagar, who was quick to hear the news, said, the wizard affirmed.
“There was someone whom he had as master.”
As the terrified demons roared loudly, the wizard swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth again.
“Not only that, but next to him is as good as the Green Seas. No, he was supported by someone who might be the king of a world we don’t know.”
“I can… . Have you made a contract with him?”
The wizard shakes his head.
“He said I’m not the Demon King.”
To be precise, he was a wizard who was subjected to unprecedented contempt by the mage, ‘Are you calling yourself a sorceress while dealing with mana as small as that kind of millet’?
“Maintaining the magic circle is not difficult, so come up and test yourself at any time.”
“Is there a reward for passing the exam?”
“… right. There are great rewards.”
maybe.
The wizard, who swallowed the back words, said, ‘Tell the next person to come up. He just lied to fulfill Nam Man-hyuk’s threat, ‘If you cut it off, you’ll die.’
