Chapter 172

62. Primal Dragon (1)

It took five days for the demon lords who decided to take charge of Rhodiac’s estate to tour all the territories of each demon. The demon lords who were in charge of the Forridan side would have been caught by that.

I was annoyed that I didn’t use space movement – I didn’t know the exact coordinates – so I had to fly myself to go around the whole expanse of land, but I was able to finish it at that level by dividing it.

The demon lords who finally arrived at the royal castle of Rhodiac were able to obtain interesting information unexpectedly.

“… You said there was only one?”

“That’s right.”

The attendants gathered together and spoke to Naznel in a trembling voice.

In the meantime, Cha Shin Hyeon’s behavior has been consistent. All the demons have been brainwashed, and it was a waste of energy to do brainwashing, but let’s keep it alive, so the high-level demons that bothered me were removed.

I just did it there.

Intermediate demons such as royal guards and servants cannot venture outside if they block off the royal castle. So Cha Shin Hyeon didn’t even touch them and left them alone when they left the castle.

Thanks to this, the demons who have survived safely are telling the truth in front of the demon kings. While subtly appealing that it was force majeure to attend Cha Shin Hyeon.

Fortunately for them, the demon lords didn’t even care about their treatment. Because I was much more interested in the information they gave out.

Naznel interrogated the servants.

“What did he look like?”

“That was the first creature we had ever seen. He’s about one head shorter than us… … .”

When I gathered the words of this guy and that guy, I got a rough impression. Artia’s eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing the story.

“It’s like the race that Delite was talking about. Human or something.”

“The other dimension? Didn’t they say that they were terribly weak and fell out?”

“See if there are any variants. There was a time when Duraus was concerned. Just like the lower class demons and demon lords, even if they belong to the same demon category, the dimensions are different, so humans can do the same. Because only a fraction of what Dellight saw.”

Artia, her lightly shrugged shoulders, turned her gaze back to her attendants.

“So the entire castle was occupied by one human?”

“Yes. The demons staying in the castle were overpowered by him and became subordinates. After that, the entire castle was sealed off and access was restricted… Oh, I saw dragons coming and going.”

“Huh, even a dragon?”

“Yes. I’ve only seen three, but there’s a dragon as white as snow.”

“If it’s a white dragon, is it Elter?”

Jerichon salivated. Silen muttered, kicking her tongue.

“It’s nothing more than holding hands with the dragon blood. There are no true dragons, and the remaining dragons are only a few dozen, so it’s not a threat. The problem is that there’s only one guy doing too many installations.”

“But the occupied castle was a royal castle without Rhodiac. Occupying an empty castle without a demon king, isn’t it difficult for us? Aside from brainwashing demons.”

“But it is.”

“Anyway.”

Naznell paused the discussion of his colleagues for a moment.

“Except for demons and dragons, you have only seen one person. It is clear that that is certain.”

“Yeah, yes.”

“I get it. Go back and see.”

Naznel first kicked the servants out of the room.

When only the Demon Kings were left, he began to talk a little more candidly.

“This is how I got the picture. If it’s enough to simply subdue a demon while traveling alone, wouldn’t that be at least the level of a demon king? It means that several weak people did not defeat the Demon King by working together.”

“What if there was only one person exposed? There are other people like you.”Jerichon expressed some concern. Naznel replied with a grin.

“What should I do? Then there will be several enemies at the level of the Demon King. But I don’t think so.”

“Why?”

“I wouldn’t know if it was over by simply defeating the invading demon king, but he dared to come to the castle and brainwash the demon. It must have been an action aimed at increasing his power, but if the demon lord-class powers are overcrowded, does he need to brainwash the demon? We would have rather attacked other demon lords and reduced our power.”

“Then you see that the enemy’s power is not very strong?”

“That’s right. Simply being prudent in nature doesn’t make you behave this way. Knowing that they are inferior, they only seem to be working hard to close the gap as much as possible.”

At Artia’s question, Naznel quietly nodded.

“I don’t know if I’m really alone, but if not, there will be very few people. The movement of large-scale troops has never been captured. Seeing that he has a magical spirit on his side, it must be said that his powers are also poor.”

“It’s a minority elite, right? Wouldn’t it be difficult for such people to engage in guerrilla warfare?”

“To prevent that, a total mobilization order has been issued. Since we have established a network of contacts with all the demons, there must be a limit to what they can do. As soon as the news comes in, you can go to support. the problem is.”

Naznel, who paused for a moment, said vigorously.

“You don’t know his exact power.”

“Thirteen?”

Artia tilted her head.

“Of course he must be thirteen. If you drive it to an all-out war like now. But individually, we know nothing. He may be at the level of barely beating the Demon King, or he may be capable of fighting two or three people.”

“… Are you that strong?”

“If I were in his position, I don’t think he would be behaving like he is now. Would you be able to contemplate fighting the whole of Dreadville on your own?”

“Ugh… … !”

Everyone felt like they had been blown away.

There is no disagreement with Naznell’s analysis. It is true that it was a serious situation, but no one thought of defeat. This is the advantage that anyone sees.

Still, the guy did it.

Is it just because he’s crazy? Rather, it may be because there is something to believe in. The reason he can think of most easily is that he is ‘overconfident with his own skills’.

“And even though they say they are weaker than us, you shouldn’t look down on the power of magical spirits. It seems that all the demonic spirits of Rhodiac have passed, and I think the situation is the same for Forridan and Delite… Then there are easily over 50 demons. I mean, roughly a quarter of them betrayed. Is that all? Dragons also joined.”

“Okay, I think so.”

“If you don’t want to see the demons collide with each other, you need to put in as many demons as possible to inflict less damage. No matter how hard I try, I have to send more than double the number.”

“At that point, it is already at the level of full mobilization. I understand your thoughts.”

Only now did the demon lords fully understand Naznel’s intentions and shook their heads.

Siren asked a question.

“If so, what are you going to do now?”

“We’ll tell the troops we’re going to gather to follow us, and we’ll go to the land of Delite first. It’s the same with the four on Forridan’s side. If we follow the same process as here in Delite’s estate, we will be able to find his trail within three or four days at the latest.”

Naznel replied calmly.

“If you find it, kill it. That’s all.”

* * *

Cha Shin Hyeon, the target of the Demon Kings, was still staying in the royal castle of Delite.

He didn’t mind leaving at any time without any regrets, but his stay was not without meaning. This is because demons have not yet entered Delite’s territory, so it was the best place to receive information about the frontline situation.

Lafriz approached Cha Shin Hyeon, who was walking through the inner garden.

“It is said that troops have moved from the neighboring provinces of Rhodiac and Forridan.”

“Are you finally coming to us?”

“no. It’s heading north. First of all, I would like to gather somewhere and then push them all at once.”

“The movement is quite inefficient. Even demon lords must know that ordinary troops are not helpful in actual battle. Then there is a high probability that it will not move like the army.”

After thinking for a moment, Cha Shin Hyeon gave the order.

“Slowly take down the foreign demons of the border area. Send them all to the last and join them. We are getting ready to leave.”

“all right.”

Laprise, who had been blessed, politely retreated.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who was left alone, was lost in thought again.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who had been looking at the colorful flowers exuding strange magical powers on the theme of plants for a long time, suddenly turned her head.

After going through the inner fortress and beyond the outer fortress, you have to go a long way to get to the empty lot. It detects that someone has moved through space to a distant place that ordinary people cannot see, let alone feel.

Suddenly, a large fuselage flew into the castle. It was Elther, a dragon boasting of its dazzling pure white nobility.

“Long time no see.”

“How are you?”

Elter and Cha Shin Hyeon, who picked a space where grass did not grow, exchanged simple greetings.

“How about the last?”

“Thanks to the demons you sent me, the progress is quite fast. The other dragons are also bewildered by the high praise. Na-won, I didn’t know that I was going to work under the influence of magical spirits while I was still alive.”

Elther grunted. Cha Shin Hyeon grinned.

“So, did you have some spare time and came to play? Anyway, I was going to join it today too.”

“Hey, I just came. no… I don’t think it’s for nothing It would be better if we solve it sooner rather than later when we have time.”

“What?”

“Because I need to meet you. So, I have to say that I came to see you.”

At Elter’s sudden confession, Cha Shin Hyeon trembled.

“… A male dash is a specification.”

“Don’t worry. Because I’m not interested in same-sex. It’s not that I want to see you… I don’t know what to say about this.”

“Well?”

“I have been hearing hallucinations from time to time a few days ago. In fact, I couldn’t understand what he was saying, so I ignored it, but whenever I heard it, I got an unfamiliar urge. I feel obligated to meet you.”

“A hallucination?”

Haven’t you heard something similar somewhere recently? So to Forridan. He heard a voice in his dream.

The moment Cha Shin Hyeon was about to ask again.

[Can I come in?]

A strange ringing sounded in my head.

“Maybe it was because of this.”

Cha Shin Hyeon smiled bitterly. Elther was bewildered.

“What do you mean?”

“I’ll tell you later. just a second.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who raised her hand slightly to ask for forgiveness, separated the ceremony.

One of the halved minds swam into the image world. Soon, an alien white space of infinite width greeted him.

“come in.”

To the divine being who knocked on the door of the image, Cha Shin Hyeon expressed his will of permission.“Thank you.”

With a roaring voice, something appeared.

Koo!

There was actually no sound, but Cha Shin Hyeon felt that such a heavy sound effect had occurred. This is because a huge object suddenly obscured the view.

It was a dragon.

A body that shines purely and beautifully, as if the colors match the image world. It was a white dragon like Elther.

However, the size was too large.

Even Elter was slightly over the size of an elephant, but this white dragon was the size of Elter looking like a child. He thought for a moment that there was even an apartment in front of him.

“… uh.”

It was only possible to recognize the face by tilting the head far back. Cha Shin Hyeon unwittingly let out an exclamation.

“I’m sorry. I usually do it like this.”

The white dragon, with its large head bowed down, began to slowly shrink. As he kept getting smaller, he suddenly became smaller than Elter and became at the same eye level as Cha Shin Hyeon.

“Is this okay?”

“It’s okay. Are you the one who spoke to Elther?”

“exactly. Aren’t you supposed to be surprised?”

Baekryong asked as if he was surprised.

“The other day, I met a demon who looked like a demon woman.”

“Hey, right?”

“It is against equity for a divine existence to exist only on the demon side. He wondered if the dragon blood might have it too. If it’s a dragon god, would it be a dragon god?”

“I think the word God is useless. I am but one of the five primordial dragons who forgot my name.”

“Did you create verb magic?”

“exactly.”

He showed interest for a while, but Cha Shin Hyeon’s interest didn’t stop there. He said proverbs were certainly an interesting force, but they weren’t that great for him dealing with zen spirits.

“What’s going on? If you want to meet me, you can just come and visit me. Was there any reason to go through Elter?”

Baekryong smiled bitterly at Cha Shin Hyeon’s direct question.

“The same is true of the dragons in the beginning, and the five demons of the false beginning as they are demons. We are divine beings, that is, we are immortals, but we are not gods. There are very limited ways to interfere in this world.”

“That’s the first I’ve heard of it.”

“In my case, I see the world through some of Elther’s senses. So, in order to contact you, Elther must meet you. Of course, Elther himself does not know this.”

As I listened to what they were saying, it seemed that they were clearly inferior to goddesses and gods. Didn’t the earth gods give a status window and reap, send a message, or freely visit the image world? I also implement monsters in dungeons.

At the same time, I also understood. The mad demon declared war with great force, but in fact, he could only convey his message to the demon lords in the form of a voice in a dream, so in the end, even Poridan died. According to White Dragon, the demon gods were fakes, so they were likely to lack their abilities.

“There was such a thing.”

Cha Shin Hyeon nodded.

“Anyway, ask again. What did you come here for?”

“It started with curiosity. As I said, I see the world with the sense of Elther, and I was shocked to see that the demons were doing just what they were told. Touching the base of the soul was an impossible power even for the Demon King or the Jinryong.”

Baekryong, who had stopped breathing for a moment, took a deep breath and continued.

“And when I met you, I knew that my expectations were not wrong. You are different from me and us, the dragons of the beginning, and the demons of the beginning. Not merely beings beyond mortals, but truly immortals ascended to the gods.”

The white dragon’s eyes blazed like flames.

“Why did you come to this world?”
