106 – 102.Swords, Dogs, and Bones – 8
Einharden’s central bank boasts the world’s largest scale.
It is said that the Full Moon Stone was carefully kept inside it, so I came to visit it with Hades.
“Welcome, Lord Hades!”
As soon as I stepped into the building, all the employees in the bank lined up from the entrance.
They greeted us with bows and a grand welcome.
It must have been a familiar sight to Hades, but she beckoned her staff back to their original positions.
“It’s like a VIP treatment.”
“Kyaahahahaha! The lord is also really~!”
“Not currently on air.”
“Kuhm! The entire building is in my name. So, it is safe to say that all of those people are my limbs.”
“I ordered him to earn only the amount of money I lost, and he made a big deal out of it.”
“You don’t like it? If so, order demolition right now…… !”
“That’s not it. It’s just that I’m a little surprised.”
I heard that you don’t have to worry about your old age, but who doesn’t like it?
It’s just that the scale has grown out of control and I can’t keep up with it.
No wonder he went from a commoner to a billionaire overnight.
Even when I provoked Pingchang, I had a hard time because I felt uncomfortable.
Before I was possessed, I was a poor college student who ate cup noodles for every meal.
I have no idea what the arrogant rich man’s attitude and mindset are like.
“Then can we keep the status quo?”
“Yes. So please tell me where the full moon stone is stored.”
“Okay.”
Hades proceeds to the depths without even going through security procedures.
Following her, I reached the safe room, which was about the same height as the castle gate.
A vault door so bulky and heavy that it seems impossible to open it with human power.
However, Hades snapped his fingers and it began to open with a roar.
Golden light was emanating from the gap that was slowly opening.
Starting with gold coins, various precious metals filled the room.
I could no longer guess at what level Hades’ total assets were.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the safe room she revealed was a royal treasure house.
“That is the Full Moon Stone that your lord was looking for.”
“Where?”
At the tip of her finger, which Hades was pointing at, she saw a stone with white aura.
It was definitely a full moon stone, it was clear from the fact that my shadow was jumping up and down.
You must be happy to find the stolen treasure.
However, I couldn’t return the full moon stone to Chaos right now.
Because I also have to take care of Hyesha’s business.
“Here it is, lord.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Hades, who personally went to her and took her things, knelt down on her and offered her full moon stone.
I took the full moon stone and took a closer look.
Because it was amazing to see the full moon stone that appeared in the novel in real life.
“By the way, lord, if it doesn’t make you rude, can I ask you something?”
“What is it?”
“What are you going to do with such a worthless stone?” hehehehe!”
“Arr… !”
A chaos emerges from my shadow and bites Hades’ leg.
Looks like he’s pissed at the fact that he mocked his treasure.
According to the contract, they attacked again without my permission, but this time I decided to close my eyes.
Because it makes me feel bad when anyone denigrates their valuables.
“What, what! This dog…….”
“You’d better watch your mouth. Even if it looks like that, it’s because it’s Chaos, one of the Four Beasts.”
“Yes?! Are you talking about the Four Beasts I heard that the first Demon King gave up taming?”
“Yes. That chaos, now a watchdog that follows my orders.”
“Ohh… !”
Even while his legs were being chewed up, Hades’ eyes were shining.
When I thought that it wasn’t even painful, I remembered that I was worrying about Richie for nothing.
Since they are undead, their sense of pain must be insensitive.
“He was chosen by the demonic sword, made a plan to complete the demonic sword in the beginning, and even tamed the beast that even the first demon king couldn’t do this time! Fire, Hades! I have no regrets about my choice to follow my lord!”
“Ummm… ?”
Thinking back, all the talents I gained after coming to this world were all related to the first demon king.
I didn’t get any remnants of the first warrior, and I was absorbing only the power of the demon king.
Is it okay for me, who is not a demon, to claim the power of the demon lord? Wouldn’t that be human?
All sorts of worries overtook me.
Then I heard Prach’s voice not in my head, but in my ears.
“Don’t worry too much. It is a prejudice created by humans that the demon king’s power is unjust.”
“Prejudice? That’s not to say, starting with the kidnapping of Renée and spreading the plague in the village, and so on. Even if you committed many inhumane acts?”
At my point, Hades shrank his body.
Because in the case of her latter plague, it was the misdeeds she had committed.
I didn’t mean to criticize Hades, but I couldn’t help it because the scheming of the demon king I had experienced was few.
“The prerequisites are wrong. Aren’t the demon lords non-humans? What is unacceptable to humans is normal to us. Moreover, in the case of a plague, there was a precedent in which humans first poisoned the well in the village where the demons lived, so they just repaid them in the same way.”
As I glanced at Hades to determine her authenticity, she cautiously nodded her head.
Remembering that they were used as horrific biological and chemical weapons in World War II, human misdeeds were no different.
“Okay, I’ll admit I was narrow-minded. Still, I can’t admit that the Demon King doesn’t use unclean power. Aren’t there many taboos among the powers that the Demon King uses?”
“That’s why it’s designated taboo because the price is out of control. The Demon King is responsible for using those restrictions himself, so what’s the problem? A taboo is an implicit rule stemming from a warning that other people should not use it because it is generally difficult for them to handle. Only when you don’t pay attention to such personal things can you truly be called a strong person!”
I finally lifted my hands and feet at Prach’s passionate speech.
There were many things to discuss, but it was meaningless to deny it at the point of already absorbing the demon king’s power.
Necromancer, blood magic, and more. Because those abilities were taboo after all.
It is meaningless if the person who committed the crime denies the crime.
“My lord.”
“Huh?”
“As you said, I have done cruel things to humans, and I have no intention of denying that fact. However, while living in this body, I felt one thing.”
Hades smiles with his hand on his chest.
I seem to have learned and felt many things while living in human society.
Even if you’re a demi-rich, you’ve been loved by humans, so there’s a possibility of repentance…….
“That humans are just as evil as demons.”
“Uh… ?”
“s*xual harassment like asking me the color of my underwear every day and wanting to lick my collarbone is standard. I don’t hesitate to ask for a rib to be torn off because I’ll treat you, and when I stretch out, I laugh while spitting out the strange word ‘nongjjuk’.”
“… ….”
“Aside from that, there are people who spread strange spells, send gold coins filled with saliva, and so on. They do really scary things casually.”
“…… Sorry.”
I was overlooking human wickedness.
I should have kept in mind the possibility of humans doing things to the point where even Satan would lose his job if he put his mind to it.
Above all, this world was filled with crazy people of various races besides humans.
In such a world, there was no need to say that the demon lord was bad or unclean.
The world has gone wrong…….
“It’s okay. It was a study because I could personally feel that there are such and such evil things.”
“That… okay.”
“In that sense, the person I respect the most is, of course, the lord! Simbo trying to steal the undead from me as a monarch and sell them… ! It was truly admirable wickedness.”
I heard that I was also abnormal.
Even though I was in a state of infatuation with new powers, I acted like a money-mad bastard.
“You are a man that even Demi Richie recognizes. So, even if you inherit the power of the Demon King, there is no problem, so don’t worry!”
“Wow!”
From noble mtl dot com
“I guess Chaos follows you because it likes that side of you.”
hahahahahoho laughing and warming atmosphere.
Because the girls who worried about me and supported me seemed lovable, even for a moment.
I felt a strong suicidal urge in that the targets were a demonic sword, four beasts, and a demi-lich, respectively.
‘I finally went mad.’
Is this the abyss that Master Chester mentioned?
Now I thought I knew what those words meant.
I should have run away long ago, but before I knew it, I was able to find myself getting dyed into the abyss.
‘hahahaha! f*ck!’
Man just wanted to live a happy and wholesome life originally. It was definitely the kid that corrupted him.
Dude went mad along time ago 😔 but now just noticed
