338 – 323.Before the Storm-2
“After going round and round, is it the Academy? ….”
Surprisingly, the location of Leviathan that Baal Zebub revealed was in the basement of Felix Academy.
I don’t know when they moved from the Snow Maiden’s village to the royal capital, but it was a complicated location in many ways.
I remember that there was a setting that the royal capital, especially the Academy, was the center of the continent, making it difficult to complain.
“Ugh… !”
[You seem particularly dissatisfied today.]
“I feel like I’m being dragged around these days.”
It was quite difficult because the locations of the dungeons where the great demons reside were different.
Asmodeus is in the north, Belphegor is in the south, Baal Zebub is in the east, and Satan is in the west.
Since Mamon came and died in person, there was no reason to visit, Lucifer acted freely, and Leviathan, who originally lived in the north, was said to be in the center.
As I went looking for them, which were very evenly distributed, I felt like a messenger.
“But now I just need to find Leviathan, so it’s much better.”
[Didn’t you say you would drop foreign media into the crater of a volcano? I guess I’ll have to go to the western volcanic area again later, right?]
“It’s okay because we have to wait a long time for Lucifer to join Leviathan in the royal capital. “All you have to do is take some time off by resting for a while.”
After shaking off the fatigue accumulated from the long trip, I felt like I could go to the volcanic area with a happy heart.
In particular, unlike Bern in the original, the stay in the royal capital was short, so it was expected that there would be a lot to see.
I planned to use this opportunity to have fun, eat and play to my heart’s content in the royal capital.
“You are free to act for the next week!”
Have you enjoyed a vacation at the beach before?
More than that time, this moment was a true vacation for me.
“Should we make a plan to visit restaurants in the capital as soon as possible?”
[Hmm. If you try to do something you don’t normally do…….]
[Yes, they said misfortune is bound to come suddenly.]
“Are they saying such ominous things? The magic tower has collapsed, the demons have to live quietly as if they were dead, and Ignit is treated like a pet dog. How can I be unhappy? “There are very few cases of such insanity, even if foreign media comes to visit right away!”
I smiled excitedly and refuted the words of the two demon swords from the front.
Except for the foreign media, there was no one who could stop me.
Even if the kingdom’s general challenged me to a duel, I was confident that I would shake off my heart in less than five minutes.
“I am not a narcissist, but the person I am now is so perfect that there is no flaw!”
It was when I was shrugging my shoulders and proudly puffing out my chest.
Still-!
A bird with paper tied to its leg chirped and landed on my shoulder.
At the same time, like magic, the smile disappeared from my face.
[Surprisingly, a messenger came to you at the right time.]
“…… “I guess I came to the wrong place because I was mistaken for someone else.”
[Unfortunately, this is a bird I have only seen before. The owner is Cestia.]
“Since you often send letters to me, you probably thought you were sending them to me this time too!”
[Why not stop denying reality at that point and read the note?]
“There is no proof that you came to me, right?”
[Then I will read it for you.]
“Ah! Now, wait!”
Solis naturally comes out of the sword sheath and turns into a human.
She took her note from the bird’s leg on my shoulder and opened it.
Solis quickly rolled her eyes and read her entire letter before I could snatch it away and mentioned her contents.
“You’re in the right place.”
“…… f*ck, so what did Cestia say?”
“They said they found Kang Jun-hyuk.”
She seemed to have rested well.
***
A forest so thick with trees that no light enters.
The Demon King, who was dragging Kang Jun-hyuk with a chain around his neck, sighed deeply.
“I never thought my cooperation would be refused even by the forest witch. “Has the situation for the demons gotten so bad that it’s so serious?”
“Hey, Demon King. Instead of chasing a hopeless dream, why don’t you stop living a normal life? “I’m going to let you go as well.”
“It’s noisy. “I never asked for your opinion.”
The devil yanked Kang Jun-hyuk’s leash and made him kneel, then stomped on his head.
Behavior became much more extreme than when he met Bern.
I was able to see how anxious the Demon King was.
Rather than gathering her companions to promote the revival of her demons, not a single demon on her continent followed her.
From the moment Breeze’s wrath struck, the only future for the demons was seclusion.
“Damn….”
Even if he wanted to hold Gwangryong responsible for annihilating the demons, he couldn’t because he had a legitimate reason for touching her daughter.
The demons who had touched Gwangryong’s daughter in an attempt to shift responsibility have long since passed away.
The Demon King’s anger wandered, unable to figure out where to go, and eventually poured out on Kang Jun-hyuk.
Due to the harsh treatment, Kang Jun-hyuk’s body became noticeably thinner and his bruises increased.
Nevertheless, the light in his eyes did not disappear.
Kang Jun-hyuk had faith that one day he would be able to escape persecution and regain the life he wanted.
In terms of his mental strength, he was no less strong than Bern.
“I have no idea what to do! “My heart feels heavy, but I have no one to relieve this frustration.”
“So, let’s put it down in peace? “Like other demons, you live quietly.”
“Don’t keep trying to climb up. The reason I keep you alive is so that my identity will not be questioned by humans. In other words, if you want, you can replace your role with another human being.”
Kang Jun-hyuk had no choice but to keep his mouth shut due to the devil’s life.
Nevertheless, his eyes were still yearning for freedom, and the Demon King was looking at this with regret.
‘There isn’t a single thing I don’t like.’
However, the devil was unwilling to kill Kang Jun-hyuk.
If you get angry at his words and kill him, you won’t be able to shake off the feeling of defeat by him.
Kang Jun-hyuk also knew this and was getting on the devil’s nerves.
The plan doesn’t work out and my nerves keep getting scratched.
The Demon King, whose stress had built up to the limit, was conflicted about burning down the entire Witch’s Forest.
She created a fireball on the palm of her hand and repeated her erasing, but soon felt her presence and turned her head.
“Who is it?”
I asked a question beyond the bushes, but all I got back was silence.
Feeling displeased with the opponent who did not easily reveal himself, the Demon King stretched out his arms forward.
She used her magic to pull her opponent back from beyond the bushes as he held his breath.
But as if her thread had been cut, her magic simply disappeared.
Instead, her man, who had been hiding his body, voluntarily appeared in front of her.
“It’s been a while, Demon King.”
“You… ?”
This was Bern, where the Demon King once desperately searched for the remnants of magical power.
But ironically, this time he was looking for the devil.
To be exact, he approached Kang Jun-hyuk, who the Demon King was accompanying, but the Demon King, who did not know this, was wary of Bern.
“What were you watching me for?”
“You don’t have to be so careful. “I simply want to ask you something.”
“Please? But why didn’t you show up right away when I called you?”
“Because I refused your request for help. But I was wondering if I could shamelessly ask for it.”
“You came here even though you knew me well… …. “What kind of favor do you want to ask?”
“Won’t you hand over to me the guy you’ve been carrying around like a pet?”
Pointing to Kang Jun-hyuk with her finger, Bern revealed her own purpose.
When the Demon King directly said that he wanted Kang Jun-hyuk, his expression was full of disgust.
“Are you from that line too?”
“I think I can tell what you’re thinking just by looking at your facial expression. Forget such dirty misunderstandings. “I want someone to use that guy to lure out.”
“I see. “If that’s not your preference, that’s fine.”
Bern felt strongly displeased at being misunderstood as a person who enjoyed sodomy.
However, as a requester, he remained unfazed and expressionless.
In order to lure his arch nemesis, Ping Chang, Kang Jun-hyuk’s presence is indispensable.
It was a top quality bait that you had to get your hands on.
“So can you hand that guy over to me?”
“I’m thinking of handing it over because he’s just scratching my head, but if there’s something going from here, there has to be something coming, right?”
“Did it come out like that?”
“I won’t ask for much. At least the witch who lives in this forest…….”
“The revival of the demons.”
“Huh?”
“I will help the demons revive again. “That will be enough, right?”
“Huh? Well, I would appreciate it if you could do that, but…….”
“Okay. “The deal is done.”
The Demon King was dumbfounded when he saw Bern suddenly offering to do something he didn’t even ask for.
Revival of demons?
We wandered around for several months, but we were not able to unite the demons on the continent, let alone revive them.
However, humans, the demons’ archenemies, suddenly appeared and offered to help rebuild.
It really wasn’t funny, but…….

“Children! “Bring your tools!”
Hundreds of undead and Orichalcon Ants crawled out of the ground with his cries.
At the head of the undead was Hades, and at the head of the ants was Marjan, the queen, kneeling on her knees, waiting for Verne’s orders.
“From now on, we are temporarily the Demon King’s army. Did you understand?”
“”Yes, as you command!””
“Krrr… !”
“Okay, let’s go take over the kingdom’s land like this!”
At Bern’s word, even the chaos in the shadows revealed its true form and began barking fiercely.
The moment when the strongest demon army in history is formed.
Surprisingly, the leader of the Demon King’s army was human, which was possible because he was the king of trouble.
“What is this…?” ….”
The devil, who was so wise, did not understand what was happening.
