Demon World War (1)
“Hmm, I guess that’s what happened.”
After hearing her subordinate’s report, Hela slowly nodded.
“I fully expected it… But when it becomes reality, I can’t help but regret it.”
Just in case, I was preparing a grand welcome ceremony.
She sighed and looked at Siana next to her, saying it was a pity that the best solution had gone to waste.
“Because that’s the case, Operation Dragon Lasso has been cancelled. “I guess we should move on to the next plan.”
“That’s too bad. “If I did it right, I could have finished it easily.”
“Well, I guess they’re not that stupid either.”
Hela’s eyes turned to the strategy map that filled the large table.
Demon World Evangelism, where various types of horses are placed everywhere.
Her eyes narrowed when she saw two particularly large horses standing side by side.
‘Demon Dragon Duke Crushire…’
In fact, if he was at his level, it wouldn’t be that difficult to bypass the gateway and use space movement.
Of course, doing so would mean giving up the use of large-scale troops, but the superior mobility could be applied in many other directions.
For example, quickly rallying the remnants of the Dark Nest that have not yet completely fallen into Helheim’s hands…
‘Hmm, maybe I should have let him know Ken’s location? ···No, that’s too big of a variable. ‘It’s a shame, it’s a shame.’
If things had really gone my way, I would have been able to grab the guy’s leash right away.
She sighed, thinking of the prey that had escaped the trap she had prepared with so much care, and opened her mouth, twisting her long hair with her fingers.
“Are there any other communications other than that?”
“Yes, I think they are particularly concerned about security because they have experienced it in the past. “The connection between the two forces was not that difficult as it was very difficult to hide in the first place, but the details of the discussions were separate.”
“Well, I guess I’ve been particularly lucky so far.”
“That’s how much everyone believes in Hella. “Hela is the true Demon King of the Demon World.”
Hela burst into laughter at the sight of Siana openly flattering and smiling brightly.
Well, it was only natural that the hegemony of the demon world was slowly becoming visible.
Who would have thought that Dream Walker, who was a light in the wind until Hela appeared, would become the greatest contributor to the election of the Demon King?
As she was secretly feeling the pressure as the heir to power, she couldn’t help but be more pleased with this achievement.
‘Of course, not all problems have been resolved yet.’
Hela leaned back on the chair and looked at the words on the map again.
The Duke of Demon Dragon, who was furious after being stabbed repeatedly, and the Duke of Darkness, who realized that he had been completely taken advantage of.
Now that the two who had been fighting in a life-or-death battle until not long ago are now dramatically joining hands to fight against him, in order to become the true king of the demon world, he needed to crush them first.
Heart pounding— pounding—
She gently closed her eyes, feeling the strong throbbing of her heart.
‘It really isn’t that long ago.’
As time passed, I felt that my body was gradually becoming connected to this world – the ‘demon world’.
With the presence of countless people who follow and follow him, who breathe and live within it.
This is the true authority of the devil.
It was the true power of the Demon King, who had no choice but to become the strongest in the Demon World.
《The devil is looking down on you.》
So time passes.
Finally, a large-scale attack by the Demon Dragon and Darkness Allies began on Helheim’s wider front.
***
The office completely immersed in darkness.
Pieta, the Duke of Darkness, was lost in thought with a pair of blue eyes shining.
‘Things are getting complicated.’
All previously made plans have long since been abandoned.
At this urgent moment, all he can do is react on the fly.
He usually enjoyed using intrigue and noble tactics rather than simple force, but in the current situation, even those things had no choice but to be greatly overshadowed.
‘In the end, strength is the best in the demon world.’
In the first place, the underworld was a means possible because of information from people who had been in conflict for hundreds of years.
This is something I learned naturally as I tried to find the loopholes of my formidable competitors.
On the other hand, Hela, who suddenly appeared from nowhere and no one knows how, and the organization she founded called Helheim, were truly a mass of variables.
What can be done, what cannot be done, what are the limits of the members, who makes the plan, what are the values of the leader and the organization’s tendencies.
Unknown.
In order to overcome this, a lot of effort was made to plant informants in Helheim, but the results were not very satisfactory.
No matter how strong his heart was, when he got close to Hella, he eventually became a fanatic and confessed all of his schemes.
In the end, when it came to information warfare, this side had no choice but to be pushed out no matter what.
As if I had been stabbed in the back not long ago.
‘Given the circumstances, Hella is likely behind the incident that provoked Crushire.’
However, Duke Demon Dragon, who identified himself as the culprit, immediately raised his entire army and launched a massive attack.
What a great secret it is, or are we still in doubt?
Even now, after meeting in person to resolve the misunderstanding and return to a cooperative relationship, I have not heard the exact cause, but there must be a reason to point out him as the mastermind.
“It happened right after those two collided head on. then···.”
It was said that in Helheim, where Hela was missing, the Duke of Darkness had the ability to plan something that would require him to take action himself.
Worst case scenario—perhaps an unidentified peacock-level strongman is attached to her.
If that were true, the competition was practically over.
‘···It’s a pain in the ass. After all, I need to prepare a way out in advance.’
Of course I was greedy for the Demon King’s throne, but that was not more important than life.
Perhaps because of the war that lasted for hundreds of years, the situation became overheated to the point where two Dukes eventually died.
He had no intention of becoming the third victim.
***
The war, which had temporarily quieted down, resumed again.
Rather than targeting a single point like Hella did, it was an all-out war aimed at most of the border area.
As if trying to take advantage of Helheim, which had become unstable due to internal control.
Helheim was busy absorbing the demons belonging to the existing Dark Nest that had entered its sphere of influence for a while, but with powerful enemies joining hands to attack, it could not focus on internal affairs forever.
The territory has become wider, the enemy has become stronger, and there are still uneasy elements of internal strife.
The reason why Helheim was able to endure without collapsing was not only thanks to Hela, but also to the many talented people who supported her firmly.
And it was not long after the war resumed that good news was delivered to Dream Worker, who was the talented person and the biggest supporter… for example, a person who could be said to have contributed.
“Congratulations, Godmother!”
“As expected, you are my godmother. “How long have I really been waiting for this day?”
“Congratulations! “You finally succeeded!”
Dream Walker’s godmother, Liliana, who was in charge of defending the territory while Hela invaded the Dark Nest’s main base, was finally crowned as the new duke.
Excitement filled the faces of those gathered for this great news that could drive a wedge into the current situation.
“hehehehe, it’s thanks to everyone’s patience during this time. .··More than anything, if Hella had not given us grace, it would have been impossible in the first place.”
She looked down at her palm and smiled bitterly.
His skill level was not yet high, so he was far behind other Duke-level demons, but as his level had risen, he knew best how much he had been lacking before.
Without the ‘Essence of the Succubus Queen’ given by Hela, it would have been impossible for him, who had no talent, to become Duke from the beginning.
‘The fact that I was able to become a marquis, albeit belatedly, was purely thanks to my bloodline of the Demon King and Queen. If there wasn’t even that…’
Even when her sister Leraye became the Demon Lord, she was barely able to rise to the rank of count.
Even though we were in an environment where we could receive almost unlimited support for what we needed for growth.
In fact, in the demon world, the count was enough to be called a high-ranking demon, but compared to his sisters who became demon lords, he couldn’t help but look like he was lacking a lot.
Kuuk—
Pink magical power overflowed from his tightly clenched fist.
A pure magic that I could only feel when my mother was alive.
That same power was now filling within me.
‘How on earth can I repay this favor?’
I received so much that it almost felt overwhelming.
In order to repay this favor even a little, it would be best to help him ascend to the position of a true demon king as soon as possible.
“Whew—well then, shall we start off lightly?”
That’s how Liliana, the Duke of Mongma, appeared on the front lines.
and.
“Long live Duke Mongma!”
[For Helheim!]
“Waaah—!”
Not long after she came forward.
A battlefield has been neatly organized.
***
[Is Liliana that prostitute?]
Upon hearing the subordinate’s report, the Demon Dragon’s vicious face became even more frighteningly distorted.
It’s like adding insult to injury.
Even so, the agitation of the demons under his command is growing, and in this situation, one more duke-level strongman has been added to the enemy camp?
‘The best thing is for the greedy prodigal woman to come into conflict with the hybrid…’
I made a hopeful observation for a while, but no matter how much I thought about it, the possibility was not very high.
Because in the first place, the two could not be said to have a simple military-lord relationship.
Also, in the current situation, betraying Hella and going his own way was a decision that could not be made without his brain being completely marinated in dark magic.
‘Damn, what kind of sh*t is this…’
There really is no chance of winning now.
Until recently, I was confident that I would become the Demon King.
How did it end up like this?
‘also? Is this happening again? I am this Crushire. also?’
It was a future that had been hoped for for thousands of years and was finally here.
I thought I would be able to get my hands on it this time.
I thought I could laugh at the fate that interfered with me at every turn!
His three pairs of eyes glowed with death as his anger soared to the extreme.
Black flames seeped out from between its sharp teeth, its grinning nostrils, and its densely protruding scales.
When his once firm composure was disturbed, a certain energy that had unknowingly permeated him while he was staying at the temple cautiously stimulated him.
Just so slightly that he wouldn’t even realize it.
[Koooooo——!]
At this point it was clear.
Another demon is blocking his path!
To prevent people from dragons who are not from the demon world from sitting in the seat of the devil!
In order to avoid the intervention of the demon god as much as possible, he even joined hands with the nameless god.
Now that the people who invaded the temple have ruined the great plan that took hundreds of years to prepare, all that is left for him is boiling hatred.
‘Could it be that they broke into the temple…? ···No, it is certain that the prodigal woman was at the marquis level not long ago. We must have really overcome the wall this time.’
Although he had a twisted and impatient personality, he was by no means an idiot.
Even after pointing out the Duke of Darkness as the mastermind and launching the attack, several verifications were completed just in case, and the innocence of all known marquis-level demons, including Liliana, had already been confirmed.
The only opponent he couldn’t be sure of was Pieta, the Duke of Darkness who had reached a similar level to himself and used strange secret arts.
Although his priorities changed due to the sudden destruction of his main base, he still did not let go of his suspicions about Pieta.
If you’re that gloomy skeleton that likes to make useless plots, you might be trying to deceive yourself this time too.
Therefore, while he pretended that the misunderstanding had been resolved, he did not neglect monitoring Pieta beyond attacking Helheim.
The persistent gaze of the greatest warlock in the demon world, both in name and reality.
[···under! Ha ha ha ha ha! I knew it would be like this! hahahaha—!]
In the end, suspicious circumstances were captured.
[Pieta How dare you——! Are you trying to make fun of me?!]
A suspicious contact that occurred while the war was in full swing.
And the unnatural movements that followed added confirmation to his suspicions.
[hehehehe… As expected, the two bastards were holding hands and screwing me over from the beginning. [He was looking at me very rudely.]
It was a well-planned scenario, including the temple attack that occurred during the direct battle, the war resulting from the retaliation, the Dark Nest’s stronghold being occupied, and Pieta’s peace offering.
To completely deceive yourself and put a noose around your neck.
‘···Oh, if you guys turn out like this, I can’t help it.’
Now there is no place to retreat anymore.
If I lose the competition again, this will definitely be the end of my long life.
If they had figured out what they were planning at that temple, there was no way they would have let him live.
[Pieta. Look at me for a second.]
-“What’s going on, Duke Demon Dragon? I’m busy right now. As you know, things went wrong because of Duke Mongma.”
[That goes for me as well. Please take some time because it is absolutely necessary. I thought I could definitely catch that hybrid.]
-“Hmm?”
So it was.
Now I was the devil and conquered the continent, so it was good.
All that filled his insides was hot, burning anger.
“Huh, really? “What kind of crazy thing is this, Demon Dragon?”
[hehehe! hahahaha! Crazy? No, this is the correct answer! I should have done this a long time ago!]
“You sacrifice all those who followed you…! Do you think you can become a demon lord even after doing something like this?!”
[Does not matter.]
So just.
I decided to destroy everything.
The demons who still followed the Demon Dragon Duke evaporated.
Based on that, the Duke of Darkness, who had been defending himself firmly, also fell into the hands of the demon dragon.
