Gaiden Episode 5

Exactly one year has passed since the 113th Demon King started conquering the South with the Demon Dragon.

In such a short period of time, the expression of conquest was ridiculous, and most of the demons in the southern part of the Demon Realm fell to their knees to the new king.

It’s not just the South. Innate strength, pure darkness, and even the character of a monarch that captivates everyone he meets… His figure was so perfect that he looked as if he had been born to be a king.

Originally, he was still young enough to be recognized as a Demon King, but no one took issue with that.

The demons have come to adore the demon king Embildon with all their heart. Thus, the demon realm, which was filled with chaos, quickly found order like a clockwork that had been dusted off.

But even in the midst of it, there were still loachs that caused muddy water. It wasn’t a total reaction to the authority of the Demon King, but big and small incidents occurred in the blind spot where the eyes could not reach.

So the Demon King was busy traveling around the Demon Realm himself to finish the case.

“I think this is pretty much all sorted out.”

Even today, Embildon, who had the names of the demons who went to the disputed area to calm the rampaging demons and caused a power struggle in the  , looked around.

A small village built by demons stood in a land that was devastated until a year ago.

The sight of demons trusting each other and forming a colony is a form that could not be seen when they were immersed in a struggle for survival where they killed and killed each other.

Even plant-type monsters with strong vigilance bloomed with peace of mind in the village. It meant that the bond formed under the name of the Demon King was strong.

kuo ooh

A huge dragon, which was dark black, but with scales overflowing with purple magic, descended from above the village if you looked closely. With each flapping of its wings, an eerie magical energy spreads around it. Due to the wind, the lower class demons living in the village hid in the house and trembled.

Mbildon, who was the only one standing still, looked at her hauntingly shining yellow eyes and asked.

“Anyone outside?”

– Power suppression completed.

“Good job. Tay.”

Embildon patted the dragon’s neck and praised it. Then the snout fluttered with powerful magical energy twitched.

It looked dangerous as if it was about to spit out his breath at any moment, but what came out of his mouth was not a breath, but a small cry.

Si-woong.

The gigantic demonic dragon rumbled around its neck like a baby cat flirting with its owner.

“Did you know what caused the fight?”

– Yeah. It is caused by a quarrel between the southern high-ranking demons.

“It’s a quarrel. Anyway, you should know that southern demons are hot-blooded.”

Embildon let out a short sigh. The area where the most incidents occurred in the Demon Realm was the southern part. There were so many troubles that it made the Demon King who hates troublesome things to walk in the same area several times.

– It is said that the Ranbars camp dared to speak remarks against the king. It is said that the Nexiz camp heard this and raised the army because they could not just move on.

“I am. I’m the one who insulted you, but why do you guys fight each other? That’s why too much loyalty is poison.”

– Ranbars, who dared to rebel against the king, are a pathetic people.

Amber eyes flashed wildly.

The Demon King knew that it was not the Nexyz who was truly loyal to the point, but the Demon Dragon in front of him. Mbildon, who looked into those eyes without much emotion, slowly opened his mouth.

“Five. okay? But why did that pathetic Ranbars… … .”

The Demon King smiled and continued.

“Did I die by you and not by Nexys? Huh?”

sting.

caught up The dragon Tay awkwardly avoided his gaze.

‘I thought I would be found out because I came back with blood.’

Of the demon king’s reactions, that kind of smiling face was the scariest. As Tay knew, when Embildon smiled brightly, it was like having a death row inmate eat the Last Supper.

– … He must have died because he had to die.

“Tay.”

– I’m sorry, King. But I just couldn’t get over it.

Tay mumbled stubbornly like a sulking child with her eyes closed. The purple dragon was actually a child.

No matter how long the time without being woken up in the egg was, it had only been about a year since Tay Thanatos was born and began to move voluntarily.

Only the knowledge of the previous demon dragons remained, but Tay’s view of the world was still narrow.

– ‘Tay’ can’t forgive the guy who dared to rebel against the king. If the king orders not to do so, I will obey.

The only thing that Tei, a still young demon dragon, used as a criterion for judging was the order of the demon king. All other factors such as morality and conscience were ignored.

It was at the moment when Mbildon was about to say something to such a demon dragon.

“I agree with him, too.”

White feathers flew from the sky like snowflakes.

‘Elyos?’

Tay lowered her neck and raised her claws. If it was an enemy, he raised his Magi so that he could run straight away, but there was no need for that.

“Oh, Lucifer. did you come?”

This is because the Demon King pretended to know his opponent. Tay relaxed his vigilant posture and carefully observed the unfamiliar demons.

For a moment, I could see white wings to the point where I was confused with the Elyos. But that wing is only half.

Half of the feathers on its back are white and the other half are black. Even the hair was the same. A mysterious demon with two completely different colors came down from the sky and landed lightly.

“I see the king.”

It was certainly not an enemy to kneel politely in worship. But Tay still couldn’t relax.

Instinctively, the demons raised their heads when they heard the sound.

He seemed to have lost his sight, but his eyes were closed, but his mouth was smiling.

It was a face I had never seen in the past year since Tei became the Demon King’s henchman. But Embildon spoke to him in a familiar manner.

“It’s nothing. You all come all the way here.”

“Of course, it’s not a very pleasant place to be full of low-level magic.”

It was as if he had entered a dirty warehouse infested with mice.

Embilden, who knew that Lucifer hated low-ranking demons extremely, did not bring him every time something like this happened.

There is only one young demon dragon, Tay, who follows the Demon King like a chick wherever he goes.

“Even if I wait, the king will not return, so I have no choice but to come here to find him.”

On the other hand, Lucifer acted strangely like Embildon’s protector.

“While the king is away, he also considers the hearts of his servants who are waiting anxiously.”

If the other demons had done that, Embildon, who would have kicked him in the butt in a flash, only made a disgusting expression on Lucifer and didn’t criticize him too much.

“How long has it been since you’ve been away?”

“Ten days.”

“I was still trying to get going.”

Lucifer smiled softly at the grumbling boy Demon King. Then, suddenly, he gently turned his head towards Tay.

At that moment, Tay felt that Lucifer was looking at her.

Even though there was no snow, it felt like it was sweeping over my entire body, and I was terrified. Tay, who had shrunk from a gigantic dragon to the size of a crow, slid over Embildon’s shoulder.

In front of the small mini-sized demon dragon, Lucifer muttered as if passing by.

“You picked up a cute toy.”

“Watch your mouth, Lucifer. Tay is not a toy.”

This was the first time that Embildon, who had always accepted and passed on whatever Lucifer said, coldly cut it off.

His red eyes were a little, but he was burning with anger. Lucifer immediately shook her head, and Tay looked at her master in surprise.

“It’s ‘my side’ that I chose for myself.”

Lucifer’s face, who had her head bowed, hardened slightly.

Now, the Demon King had issued two warnings at once.

On the surface, there is one warning not to ignore Tei, the henchman chosen by the Demon King himself.

Lucifer is not the henchman chosen by the Demon King himself. He was the one who had prepared to serve the king in advance even before the demon king Embildon was born.

As a result, naturally, he acted as the protector of the young king and tried to control it little by little.

Embildon noticed it like a ghost.

The second warning in my words was meant not to climb any further.

“Please punish the sin of disturbing the king’s heart with his rude tongue.”

“done. It’s the first time the two of you met, and we’ll see each other often, so don’t skip it.”

“Thank you.”

Again, it was a story that I would not look after if something like this happened. Upon realizing this, Lucifer greeted politely.

“Then the king.”

“uh. I’m going to take a look around after I’ve come all the way here, so go back first.”

If the subordinates were waiting for them to return, it wasn’t Embildon.

Lucifer, who was familiar with the Demon King’s own ‘My Pace’, replied with an expression of just wanting to do so, that he would understand.

And just before Lucifer spread her wings and left the place first, the Demon King spoke again.

“Oh yeah. And outside, is that your thing?”

The wind blowing from the direction that Embildon raised his hand and pointed passed past the tip of his nose.

There was a strong smell of blood. Ranbars, one of the high-ranking demons that caused the quarrel, was killed by the demon dragon, and the power struggle ended, and the lower-level demons who had lost their motivation and fled fell as cold corpses.

Lucifer admitted that it was the slaughter he had committed.

“Yes.”

“Don’t kill me recklessly.”

Lucifer calmly responded to the boy demon king who was giving orders as if growling.

“They were low-level demons who followed those who insulted you.”

“It is natural for the weak to follow the strong. The chief died anyway, so everyone lost their will to fight.”

“Sometimes you need an example when punishing a rebellion.”

“It is not up to you to decide. Lucifer.”

“I apologize for being presumptuous. But.”

Lucifer flew away with black and white mixed feathers.

“You are the Demon King.”

It was a gentle voice, like a child’s. However, a smile that was lacking somewhere to be called warm was scattered along with the feathers.

“If you’re so soft, you won’t be in trouble, my king.”

The fallen angel, who had half of light and half of darkness, disappeared without looking back as soon as he confirmed that the king was safe.

Tay looked at the place where Lucifer left with tears in her eyes and opened her mouth.

– King. The author substitutes.

“Lucifer Luminous. He was originally an Elyos.”

– … It is, too.

When I said that I felt an eerie energy, it must have been divine power. Tay spoke again, trying to calm her throbbing stomach.

– Are you going to leave the author alone?

“Why?”

– I have a bad feeling. He is not in the atmosphere of a servant who follows the king.

To be honest, Tay continued to be anxious while facing Lucifer. He couldn’t just say something, but he had a strong impression that he was an enemy rather than an ally.

It’s not just that Lucifer is an Elyos. There was something insidious about him that could not be explained in words.

‘If you look into your eyes, you can tell more clearly.’

Unfortunately, Lucifer had her eyes closed, so she couldn’t see properly.

When the Demon Dragon expressed strong hostility, the Demon King was also deeply immersed in thought.

“Lucifer… … .”

After a while, Embildon put her forehead on her forehead and exhaled.

“That guy is okay. He was the first person to be by my side when I opened my eyes.”

Tay’s yellow eyes stared intently at the dark-haired boy. The trust that Embildon had in Lucifer was close to the wish of ‘I want to believe’.

At times like this, I realized that he, who always seemed perfect, was still a young boy.
