178 – It’s all over…
Shortly after the failure of this week’s Dream Land by the hero Ellen.
The Nation of Darkness was occupied by the Allied Forces, led by the Falcon Empire, which had invaded the capital Rehui.
Due to the aftermath of the leadership being annihilated by the god Amun, the Falcon Empire army entered virtually without fever.
Among them, there was an opinion that the Nation of Darkness should be destroyed as it is, citing the sin of failing to commit magic that almost drove the entire continent to destruction rather than a simple war of aggression.
In this regard, the leaders of the allied forces…
As a result of consultations between Cassandra, Pope Julius, and the Warchief of the Nation of Watermen and the Demon King, the leaders who planned the incident were massacred, and most of the citizens were innocent, so they decided to cover the incident with minimal responsibility.
In fact, the King of Darkness and his aides, who were aware of the activation of Dreamland and planned it, became corpses but disappeared without a trace, so it is too harsh to punish innocent people.
Accordingly, the allied forces completed the work by maintaining the form of the Nation of Darkness for the time being, but making it manage by another country.
That’s how it finally came to an end,
A long bloody history that has continued for a very long time, starting with the war between the Tribal Alliance and the Demon Kingdom.
However, apart from the fact that peace came after the war, the wounds left on the continent by the last war were so deep and fatal.
The worst damage immediately was the Nation of Darkness, whose leadership and the population of the capital had almost evaporated, and a government centered on a few barely surviving witches.
The situation in other countries was also very bad.
The Elven Church, which unreasonably waged a series of wars in a situation where national power was at its limit, reached a state of bankruptcy, and the Falcon Empire also devastated almost half of the country, and the entire country was reeling as many people were sacrificed in the process. The distance has come to an end.
Thanks to Cassandra’s handling of her own affairs, the country did not collapse, but at least for the next few decades, she was forced to focus on domestic affairs.
And, as a result of the economic deterioration of these two neighboring countries, the Suin-guk, which suffered from a chronic shortage of materials by nature and had to spend considerably during the war, was also forced to shrink naturally.
Like that, the nations of the continent were literally lying on the floor like sick people, so battered that they couldn’t even think of anything other than caring about internal affairs.
A situation where the expression “glory that literally hurts” fits perfectly.
And at the same time, looking at the countries that have become so groggy…
In the midst of a series of wars, he was the only one who was able to catch his breath and improve national power.
At the same time, in the process, the country that gained absolute supremacy by helping various countries on the continent and binding them with various unequal treaties
The Demon Kingdom.
As a matter of fact, as the final victor of this long war, he was able to smile while falling alone across the sea.

‘Okay, with this, for a while, those who will touch our Demon Kingdom won’t appear.’
Beelzebeauty, the Prime Minister of the Demon Kingdom, smiles with joy as she receives the last report.
There were more variables than I thought, and there were concerns that the plan would fail several times in the process.
As a result, she was feeling both genuine relief and satisfaction at the fact that everything had ended well.
‘Honestly, when I found out that the Nation of Darkness was preparing for Dream Land, my heart sank. I’m really glad that the hero did a good job.’
The hero’s active activities, starting from beating the port city of Rob, continued all the way to the work of the Nation of Darkness.
To be honest, when I first saw him, Beelzebeauty had a suspicion that he had some other plan, but
As time passed, she came to realize that at some point, she had no choice but to acknowledge him.
For the Demon Kingdom… To be precise, Ellen Savior, a warrior who has devoted her best to the Demon King, the lord to whom he has sworn allegiance and who has become a love-sharing relationship.
And now, about him who became the wife of the upper demon king in name and reality.
Beelzebeauty has come to have its own respect and gratitude.
‘then… There’s only one step left, right? The work of formally revealing the relationship that has been tacitly acknowledged until now.’
With such thoughts in mind, Beelzebeauty began to carry out one task as the chancellor of the Demon Kingdom.
What can be called a small gift she gives to the hero and the demon king.
that’s right…

‘Uh… I never thought I’d come back here like this… ‘
Shud, an existence that is no longer a witch or anything.
At this moment, she was walking inside the grand castle, feeling really reluctant.
In the past, armed with staffs and various magical items, together with the warriors’ party members, the place was narrowly infiltrated by defeating demons attacking from everywhere.
Demon Castle, the heart of the Demon Kingdom.
But at this moment.
Ironically, even though Shud came back here with all his friends from the same warrior party, he was being treated completely differently in a completely opposite situation.
Unlike back then, Shud lost all her powers as a witch,
The other colleagues were also in a state of deficit, losing precious things, big or small, but now they were strangely treated as guests by the demons and were walking along this road.
‘In addition, the addition of Torare instead of missing something isn’t normal. From the high-ranking former warriors of the Demon Kingdom, the warrior party that followed us, and the strongest warriors of the gender-swapped elven kingdom and the Falcon Empire… ‘
It’s so new, but with this, feeling that the leadership of the political situation has completely passed to the Demon Kingdom,
Still, Shud couldn’t help but feel bittersweet as a member of the party of warriors whose purpose was to subdue the demon lord.
‘It’s like this in the end… my… Because of our foolish actions, the world eventually had to kneel before the evil demon king.’
If they had come to their senses at that time and put all their efforts into defeating the demon king, the result might have been reversed, but that kind of thinking no longer means anything.
Like that, once again.
While feeling the fact that the warrior party had completely failed,
At the same time, regretting that it would have been better to stick to the hero Eren.
Shud silently followed them into the Great War of the Demon King.
Unlike the battles with the Four Heavenly Kings in the past, the demon castle where you can literally feel the atmosphere of a ceremony hall to welcome the returned hero.
And in the center of it, as she expected, the figure of the demon wearing black armor and exuding evil energy…
‘… uh?’
There wasn’t.
‘What… what. It is definitely the throne of the demon king over there… Why over there… ‘
At this moment, the demon sitting on the throne could be seen by her eyes.
The moment he saw that, Shud began to wonder if something was seriously wrong.
No, it wasn’t just Shud’s thoughts, it was the same for Richie Eileen, who was standing by her side.
“… .I… there. Amelda? Who is that person?”
“yes? Ah, come to think of it, is this the first time you’ve seen Eileen and Shud like that? That’s the person we dealt with… no, he Your Majesty the Demon King.”
“mind… Devil… ? I… is that?”
“ah… No, the Demon King is a woman… was it? I didn’t even notice that.”
The Demon King, who was considered only a monster hiding his terrible appearance with black armor.
The fact that her identity was a woman with a more beautiful white color than theirs made the two people inevitably be gripped with heavy shock for a while.
But,
they didn’t know yet
The shock they will receive in this place is,
That it hasn’t even started yet.
“Welcome, warrior.”
“I’m home. your majesty.”
The Demon King, who smiled brightly at the hero at the forefront, and the Demon King, who politely bowed his head in response.
It could be said that it was a very natural scene in the way he showed his respect to his lord as a servant.
The problem is, what followed…
It was a scene that came as a shock even to Amelda.
“Come on, hug me, warrior.”
“! … mind… Devil… your majesty?”
The demon lord accepts the small bag held by the lady-in-waiting next to her.
Then, she handed it to the hero, Ellen, and spoke in a voice filled with deep joy.
“Our… It is the baby of Jim and the warrior.”
“ah… iced coffee… ”
A hero who accepts the baby with deep emotions at the words of the demon king.
Seeing that, the demon king smiled on that beautiful face and shed tears a little and said with deep joy.
“Gender is a daughter… named Chris. Chris Savior… As the father of this child, please continue to support Jim and this child. And take good care of this country.”
With those words, the demon king approached the hero holding the baby and embraced him without hesitation.
In response, the hero shed tears and spoke while holding her in her arms.
“… Yes… Yes majesty. like that… I will definitely do that. really… Thank you very much, Your Majesty!”
The sound of applause from the demons following the warrior’s oath.
like that,
The hero and the demon king became the center of everyone’s blessings, combining the expression of glory for the general and congratulations for publicly announcing their relationship.
watching the scene,
In the minds of the members of the former warrior party, they were seized with feelings of shock and despair at the same time.
