101 – The absolute lord of the demons and a symbol of fear
Numerous demons in front of my eyes.
Looking at them almost filling the boulevard, and at the same time looking at them all looking at us with ferocious eyes.
She came as the leader of the envoys of the elven kingdom.
Octavia suppressed a sneaky feeling of uneasiness and maintained a quiet silence.
‘Everyone is just eyes that are wary of us or hate us. In fact, it has been that way all the way here. It seems to be particularly severe here’
Jerusalem, the capital and heart of the Demon Kingdom.
In order to enter this place as envoys from the hostile country of the Elves, Octavia and the others had all their weapons confiscated.
Nevertheless, the demons radiate hatred while maintaining constant surveillance and vigilance towards themselves.
Their gazes were filled with emotion, as if they were watching terrorists come here to do something at any moment, but at the same time, there was a clear hostility that they would attack immediately if they saw any sign of such a thing.
and.
Seeing the demons like this, Octavia was seized with deeper tension and concern, thinking that things would turn out to be more difficult than expected.
‘However… Still, you must succeed. If we fail here, the elven kingdom will be completely doomed. I will overcome any humiliation in order to protect the Canna Forest and the World Tree, Jupiter, and complete my revenge.’
It was ironic for her to think that their last hope was the demons they had been waiting for to be destroyed not too long ago.
However, having already accepted that she and the other elves had no choice, she was determined to complete her mission no matter what.
And after a while, the gates of the demon castle finally began to appear in front of my eyes.
Octavia slowly got out of the carriage stopped in front of him.
and…
“Miss Octavia… Are you?”
A woman’s voice heard in her ears as she got off the carriage.
At this, Octavia turned her gaze to that direction with a little wariness.
“!…”
Right after that, the figure of a demon began to appear in her eyes.
The moment he saw her, Octavia involuntarily felt a little startled.
A slightly short demon standing in front of her.
With white skin like white jade,
She had a small horn on her forehead, ruby-red eyes, and beautiful hair that glistened like platinum.
It gave a more noble and pure feeling than any other Elves Octavia had ever seen.
‘This kind of person… Are you a demon? He looks like an angel except for the horn on his forehead.’
For a moment, she was stunned by the noble appearance of the demons she had never seen before, but she recovered her spirit as soon as possible and answered in a calm voice.
“Yes, it is. I am Octavia, who is here as the representative of the Catholic Church.”
“Okay, nice to meet you like this. My name is Elisa. As one of the royal guards of His Majesty the Demon King, I came after receiving an order to greet Lady Octavia according to Her Majesty’s orders.”
Aside from the stinging gazes around her that she could still feel, the demon named Elisa spoke with a voice full of politeness.
In response, Octavia cautiously bowed, feeling relieved that she hadn’t been turned away by such a person after coming all the way here.
“Thank you for being so welcoming, Elisa. It’s a short time, but I look forward to seeing you in the future.”
“Yes, it is. Whether it will be a short time or a long time remains to be seen.”
“… ”
Elisa spoke with a polite voice, without breaking her expression, and with a sharp edge.
Accordingly, Octavia recognizes that even though she is observing the minimum courtesy, the woman in front of her also disapproves of her, and for some reason, her heart seems to hurt a little…
To be precise, I began to feel as if I had been hit with a knife in an unexpected direction.
Just like that, Octavia and the members of the Reaper begin to move carefully following Elisa’s back.
And after a while, the place they arrived at was a huge conference room located in the deepest part of the castle.
It was the so-called Daejeon.
The inside of Daejeon, where dozens of demons lined up on both sides of the road in the middle, looking this way.
and,
In front of the splendid throne located at the end of the road, there was a warrior wearing black armor and holding a greatsword.
On the throne in question is that person…
The ruler of the Demon Kingdom.
The demon king, the strongest demon tribe in existence.
He was looking this way with his whole body wrapped in purple armor.
‘That person is the demon king, the absolute monarch of the demons and a symbol of fear… The feeling of intimidation I also feel is not normal.’
The golden eyes of the Demon King, visible through the helmet of the armor.
Recognizing that it was staring this way, Octavia,
Feeling as if a blade was going back and forth on the nape of her neck, she unknowingly clenched her fists in a cold sweat.
“Your Majesty has arrived.”
“…”
The Demon King responds with a light gesture to Elisha, who politely bows.
looking at it,
For a moment, Octavia felt a strange sense of pity, as if seeing an angel bowing her head to the demon lord, and for the time being, she bowed to the demon lord in front of her eyes.
“Nice to meet you, Your Majesty the Demon King. My name is Octavia, the messenger of the elven kingdom. It’s really nice to meet you like this… oh oh oh oh oh!!!!”
That moment,
Sudden, tremendous pain.
The pain, as if his heart were being squeezed out alive, began to scream desperately from Octavia’s mouth.
‘main… perishing… Will? … me… Like this… like this?’
The fear of death that begins to be felt instinctively in the midst of terrible pain.
That moment when it became unbearable.
Octavia began to feel the pain that enveloped her suddenly disappear.
“Huh! … Heo-eok… .Heo-eok… Heo-eok… ”
Octavia breathes with difficulty, feeling as if she has barely saved her life right on the threshold of death.
and,
Looking at such Octavia.
The Demon King, the lord of demons, sitting in front of her,
He spoke to her quietly in a thick male voice tinged with deep anger.
“Who told you to open your mouth? The question is asked by Jim. All you can do is answer it. keep that in mind. Elf.”
“you… .yes! ruler… Well sir. Your Majesty the Demon King.”
Octavia hurriedly responded to the devil’s words, which made her feel fearsome and charismatic at the same time.
In a normal case, the Demon King’s attitude was bound to be a diplomatic rudeness, no matter how hostile it was.
However, it was this side that was in a regrettable situation right now, and above all, the opponent was the demon king, the lord of demons, not humans, elves, or beasts.
Expecting common diplomatic common sense from such a person would in itself be a foolish act.
Like that, without even being protected by the so-called custom in a position that was already in a corner.
Octavia had no choice but to wait in intense tension to see what the demon king in front of her would ask her.
“Tell me, why did you guys set your filthy feet back on this land?”
In fact, the Demon King asked me to tell the story with clear hostility.
In response, Octavia showed herself as polite as possible and said, holding out the glass bottle containing the letter she had brought and the black flame in question.
“We are following the orders of the Holy Father… I have come to tell this to His Majesty the Demon King.”
“… ”
The demon lord gave her a light chin while watching her act like this.
Elisha, who was observing the situation, received the items in Octavia’s hand, opened the letter, and began reading the contents.
Except for a small introduction, the content itself was not very much.
Simply put, we want to know the identity of the black flame that is currently burning the forests of the elven kingdom and how to block it.
In return, it was a story that the Elven Church would listen to the Demon Kingdom’s demands as much as possible.
“It’s over, Your Majesty.”
“… ”
“… ”
Shortly after Elisha’s voice, which had been reading the letter to the end, disappeared, a heavy silence began to linger in the Great War.
Inside, Octavia was caught in deep tension, watching with bated breath what decision the demon king would make in front of her eyes.
And, after a while…
“… That’s great…”
“… ”
A demon king who speaks in a quiet voice.
However, upon hearing those words that could be considered positive at first glance, Octavia instinctively came to recognize them.
this moment,
The fact that the demon king’s words did not contain even the slightest bit of emotion that could be considered positive.
“There is nothing really great about it. You elves’ shamelessness to the point of being dirty… I can only admire.”
“!!!”
With those words, the demon lord begins to radiate black magic that is entangled in thick flesh from his body.
Octavia could not help but tremble automatically at the terrible presence, as if she had been abandoned naked in the cold.
and.
towards her.
The demon king began to speak quietly with a terrifying chill.
“Now then, try struggling with that shameless mouth. So that Jim will think of sending you guys out alive.”
