Chapter 170

61. Total Offensive (2)

The servants working in the royal castle started their day busy because of the uninvited guests who came in the morning.

It was because of the two demon kings who came immediately after making close contact with one-sided notification.

Of course, even if they say that they come to visit without contact at all, the servants who are only mid-level demons can’t even click, but it was not pleasant from the point of view of the landlord. It was clearly against the rules.

“You’re also diligent.”

Entering the reception room, Naznel opened the door with a sarcastic tone.

“Didn’t you come to visit me a few days ago and ask me to borrow my name? Because that wasn’t enough, did you come to ask me again?”

“It ended up like that.”

I gently touched it, but Duraus’s reaction was strange. He deserved a shot, but his demeanor was cold and heavy as the air of dawn that had subsided all night.

Duraus also felt the wonder in Naznel’s gaze. He opened his mouth in the uncomfortable silence.

“You remember the last time we were here, we talked about revelation.”

“Is that the word you heard in your dreams? What did the madman do?”

“That’s right.”

“Why?”

“Since the first dream, the content of the revelation has always been the same. I’ll leave it to your imagination how annoying it can be to hear the same voice over and over again in your dreams every night.”

“You didn’t like that, so you came to me to check on Rhodiac’s well-being.”

“Yes it was. And this morning, at last, the contents of the revelation have changed.”

“Even the Apostle of Fear has collapsed, and he was scolded for what he was doing.”

Artia muttered on behalf of Duraus.

“Apostle of Fear?”

Naznel tilted her head.

“According to your logic, Rhodiac, who has received the protection of the mad demon, is an apostle of madness, so doesn’t Foridan automatically become an apostle of fear?”

“I will.”

“If that’s the case, shouldn’t it be time to check out Forriden? What did you do when you didn’t come with me?”

“Foridan left yesterday. He said he would check the safety of Rhodiac himself.”

“… what?”

In response to Naznel’s question, Duraus showed a calmness that was not like a Demon King, and explained it in a timid way.

To confirm Rhodiac’s well-being, each of them dispatched a demon, and when they returned, they delivered a magic letter from Rhodiac saying that nothing was wrong. Even after that, the voices in his dreams that still urge the demon lords have even talked about how Poridan came out in person in the end.

“We know nothing of the dimension beyond the ends of the world. I only know of the superficial information that Delite had told me in passing. All I know is that it’s a world called Earth, and is home to a fragile race called humans.”

Duraus spoke with a more serious attitude than ever.

“What if what Dellite knew was just the tip of the iceberg? What if the difference between humans was as big as the difference between the lower class demons and the demon kings, so their power was much stronger? First of all, it can be assumed that he cooperated with the remnants of the Dragon Blood that passed over to Earth to face Delite. Can it be said that Delite unconditionally won there?”

“It is not. Did I mention that the number of troops you took was around 10,000? Since we only took troops directly from us, we don’t have enough power, and Delite himself must have been vigilant, so there is a possibility of defeat.”

The Demon King is strong, but not invincible. In the current Dreadville that destroyed the dragon blood, he is the strongest being, but how do you know what is going on in the dimension of Earth? There is a high possibility that he was hit in the back by an unexpected blow and went to the goal.

“If Delite was hit.”

Duraus paused for a moment before continuing.

“Isn’t this meant that Rhodiac who went to see Delite, or Poriden who went to find Rhodiac could have suffered? Revelation means nothing? I can’t think like that. It would be nonsense if a being who talked to us as if they were watching our actions would do such a thing to unnecessarily stress us.”

“I understand what you mean.”

Naznell quietly nodded his head.

The discomfort I had for the uninvited guests who came early in the morning had already disappeared. The head of the Demon Kings recognized that the situation could be serious enough, and felt the need to deal with it seriously.

he asked, turning to her queen.

“Artia, are you of the same opinion as Duraus?”

“I had a dream with a changed content, too. We opened our eyes and immediately exchanged opinions.””is it? Then I will ask you one thing.”

“What?”

“Didn’t you say that Forridan left just yesterday? No matter how many revelations he heard, the truth of the revelations has not yet been proven. It’s been less than a day since you left, don’t you think I decided Foridden’s fate too hastily?”

“Of course, there is no such thing. He doesn’t want me to believe that he’s been beaten up so quickly.”

Artia shook her head.

“But after seeing what Duraus showed me, I had to change my mind.”

“Well?”

“This is it.”

Duras took out a ball the size of his fist from space and threw it. It was a magic tool with the ability to record video.

Naznel, who received the marble, started the engine.

Whoa!

The crystal ball vibrates and emits light. Colorful beams of light embroidered the air in a clear and three-dimensional shape. The recorded scenes are vividly reproduced in front of your eyes.

“This… … .”

After watching the video to the end, Naznell drooled her saliva. Duraus said calmly.

“There is still one more person to punish.”

“I couldn’t run away, so I brought it with me. You may not even know it in your dreams.”

Artia added in a subdued voice.

“Summon other demon lords by your authority. I’ll let them check with their own hands that this video isn’t tampering.”

“… It would have been better if it was a manipulation.”

Biting her lip, Naznell called her subordinate who was waiting outside her waiting room.

“Did you call?”

“Contact all the other demon lords.”

He sighed and finished speaking.

“Come together as soon as possible.”

* * *

After the last remnant of the dragon blood led by Elter was pushed to the far end of the world, to the outskirts of the continent south of the continent.

The Asmodians officially declared the end of the war and dissolved the Allied Forces.

Delite personally, tormenting the remaining dragon blood was literally Delite’s personal hobby, and it was determined that there was no longer any need to maintain war at the racial level.

Of course, after that, the demon lords did not gather in one place. As the unwavering rulers and absolutes of Dreadville, there is nothing that they have to do at once.

So, it was easy to see that even the dumbest demon lords were not in a normal situation to summon them all at once.

“It’s been a long time, everyone.”

Naznel opened his mouth in a large hall that was also used as a banquet hall and convention hall.

“I’m sorry for calling you all of a sudden… … .”

Shaking the tip of his tongue, Naznel quickly scanned the expressions of the Demon Kings. Basically, he had an attitude of ‘Let’s hear it once’, but it is noticeable that he is subtly divided into three groups.

Although annoying, there are three demon lords who are responding positively because Naznel called them. Jerichun, Bardos, and Malpine are classified as pro-Naznelists.

Two demon lords who are just annoying. Terranil and Silen show a tendency to be close to neutral.

Originally, the protective demon lords classified as anti-Naznelists had to show a dissatisfied attitude, but their faces, with only the two remaining Duraus and Artia, showed no emotion.

It is surprising that fewer than ten people are already divided into three groups, but this is normal for demons. Fighting is normal for them.

However, as fighting is normal, it is extremely warlike, so when an external enemy appears, the unity manages well. To be precise, they can’t fight each other because they’re fighting other guys.

At least in the current situation, it’s a helpful disposition. With that in mind, Naznel finished the sentence.

“Because it’s an urgent matter.”

“Is there anything we need urgently?”

Theranil asked a deep question.

“I have an idea, so I’ll call you.”

Jerichun replied bluntly. A close friend of Naznel, he has always disliked neutrals like bats.

Theranil, whose eyebrows twitched, was about to open his mouth, when Duraus intercepted the words in a serious voice.

“Let’s talk about small quarrels later. tell me right from the start. I asked Naznel to call you.”

“Huh?”

Duraus’s words were enough to attract the attention of other demon lords. The war wasn’t over yet, so it wasn’t an open feud, but everyone knows that Duraus isn’t friendly with Naznel. However, everyone was interested in saying that he even asked for a favor.

“Everyone knows the extent to which Delite discovered a dimensional rift and led the army across it.”

“Ayeman.”

“I think the Delite… It looks like it happened.”

“what?!”

Both the pro-Naznel factions and the neutrals were surprised. It was such a serious event that the Demon King had suffered.

“Is this reliable information?”

Durus nodded his head slightly at Terra Neil’s question.

“I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, but it seems almost certain. Because Rhodiac, who went to see Delite, and Poriden, who went to pick up Rhodiac, lost their news.”

“what?”

Even if you say that to Delite, you’re also hit by Rhodiac and Foriden? It was a very unrealistic story. An embarrassment line flowed through the left.

Duraus deliberately did not bring up the story of the revelation. He had already told a story he couldn’t believe enough, and he didn’t do well to add another story he couldn’t believe.

“To put it simply.”

He narrated a story that was appropriately adapted.

When Artia accidentally contacted Rhodiac, she was told that she had gone to see Del Wright. However, there was no news for a long time, so I sent the demons, but I was suspicious of something, so Poriden went directly. However, I also lost contact with Forridan.

Because all of this happened within a few days, Duraus himself had no sense of reality, but when he talked to other demon lords, he left out the story of time, so a plausible story was created.

Knowing the truth, Naznel remained silent. Because the important thing was to gain the sympathy of other demon lords.

“Ugh… … .”

Jerichon salivated.

“Isn’t it just a matter of being late?”

“I wish I had. But… No, I’d rather show it to you.”

Duraus glanced at Artia. With her bitter expression on her face, she shouted outside her.

“Let Behcet in!”

After a while, the door to the conference room opened and Behcet rushed in.

Without knowing the English language, Artia came to the royal castle in the morning, and without knowing why, she was ordered to wait outside the conference room. She was suddenly called inside, so she couldn’t help but be nervous.

“Boo, did you call?”

“Come closer.”

Which safety command would you disobey? Behcet cautiously approached the table. When he received the gazes of eight demon kings at once, he withdrew.

“Answer the question directly.”

“Yes, yes.”

At Artia’s words, Behcet clasped her head.

“You and the demons under Duraus, the demons under Forriden. The three men each received orders from their masters. Check Rhodiac’s well-being and come. Isn’t it?”

“That’s right.”

“And you reported that you had met Rhodiac. While she delivered her correspondence that she had written her.”

“Yeah, yes, but… … .”

“At this point.”Duraus said while looking at the other demon lords.

He said, “I didn’t find anything strange about their attitude. However, there was still no news from Rhodiak, who had said he would be back soon, and when the news was cut from even Poriden who had gone to check it out, he carefully examined the letter again. As a result.”

Durus turned his head and stretched out his hand. The demon king’s energy seized Behcet.

“Uh-huh!”

“I found that the letter was fake.”

Actually, I’ve never found anything like that. Because I knew it and looked at it again.

However, when he heard the revelation that even the Apostle of Terror had collapsed, he questioned whether he had done the right thing, but only later heard a confession.

Well, whatever the relationship was, it was enough to surprise the other demon lords.

“No, what?! fake?!”

“This is the result of checking my subordinates already. Naznel, who had seen the door-to-door process, knew the seriousness of the situation and summoned you. If you don’t believe me, you’ll have to interrogate this guy yourself.”

“Of course it is!”

Jerichon was the first to leave and stand up. He wondered if the anti-Naznel faction might be doing something stupid, so he went out on his own.

Once Duraus guided Behcet, he subdued Behcet with a single gesture and laid him down. Complex mental magic was shot at the struggling man’s eyes.

When you reach the level of a Demon King or a True Dragon, your soul’s rank will increase and you will not be able to interfere even with magic, but a Demon Spirit will not reach that level. There was no way he could withstand the magic cast by the Demon King himself.

that’s how it should be

“Look at this guy?”

Behcet was not easily caught and resisted. Mental strength is not normal for the subject of demons.

Jerichun, whose pride was broken, increased the strength of his magic. He was barely subdued when he reached the treacherous line that would destroy his psyche if done wrong.

“Wow… … .”

“Are you still rebelling? How toxic are you?”

I wondered if a demon could be like this, no matter how poisonous it was, but that was the reality. It is difficult to manage delicate magic because you keep struggling. Jerry Kuhn, biting his tongue, quickly asked a question.

“this guy! Is it true that you reported falsely to Artia?”

“that… Yes… … .”

“Then what happened to Rhodiac? Did it really happen?”

“that… I do not know either… … . but… would have been… … . He could be alive… I don’t have… … .”

“Can’t you be alive? On what basis do you say that? No, why did you report falsely in the first place?”

“My lord… instructed… … . Rhodiac too… Lord… I must have been… … .”

“Lord?”

Of course, Artia must be Behcet’s owner, but I didn’t think it was referring to her due to her circumstances. Jerry Kuhn raised his voice and asked.

“Who are you, the lord!”

“The lord… The lord… … .”

Behcet, who had been struggling to speak, suddenly bled.

“Kooek!”

Without time to take his action, the demon whose light had disappeared from her eyes fell and fell bleeding from the chil-gong.

“uh?”

Surprised, Jerichun grabbed Behcet, but he had already stopped breathing.

The soul, created solely to be loyal to Cha Shin Hyeon, was forced to disobey Cha Shin Hyeon and collapsed on its own. The body without the soul became a puppet with a broken thread.

Naznel’s calm voice was heard in the ears of the demon kings who looked at the corpse with bewildered expressions.

“Looking at the recorded video, Duraus’s men also died like that. Our enemy, who we do not know who it is, is powerful enough to defeat the Demon King, but also possesses the ability to thoroughly brainwash even demons.”

He asked, meeting the gazes that had gathered on him.

“You still think it’s not a big deal?”

No one answered. No, I didn’t.

A chilly silence settled in the conference hall.
