Chapter 374 – Goals
Celestia said that Gromgal was no stronger than Leviathan.
Similar to Bloa.
Hearing that, I thought things would proceed more smoothly than Leviathan.
Contrary to expectations, however, Gromgal was already preparing for our surprise attack.
He greeted us triumphantly, as if he had known in advance.
Not only him, but with the other great demons.
Have there ever been so many great demons gathered in one place?
“Huh…Gromgal’s words were true…That high-nosed Celestia…”
One of the great demons who saw Celestia next to me said something like that.
It seemed that they, too, waited in dubious doubt before seeing Celestia’s face.
A union between the Great Demons.
This has never happened before in the long history of the Demon Realm.
That’s because even if the Great Demons unite to deal with the other Great Devils, in order to occupy the castle, someone has to yield.
Of course, the great demons who do not trust each other did not unite.
Celestia and I took action by targeting that loophole and succeeded in annihilating Leviathan.
The union between Celestia and me could be said to be a cooperative relationship established because she almost unilaterally yielded.
Seeing the great demons waiting for her, Celestia showed a clear expression of bewilderment.
It seemed that she had not expected this situation either.
In the first place, the great devils are not the ones who move together like that.
Did Leviathan’s disappearance cause them a sense of crisis?
Or maybe there was another reason…
How did Gromgal know we were coming?
How else did he know that we were united?
Did Levia tell the truth before it disappeared?
How?
He shouldn’t have had that kind of leeway.
Besides, on our route.
Meeting us on the street was something we couldn’t do unless we saw our movements in real time.
Although the location of each castle is known, the location of the Great Devil cannot be known.
Now I know what the demons did, but at the time it was absurd.
Before I could even think deeply about the suspicion of the situation, the battle with the great demons began.
If they worked together to deal with us, they would have been excited to see the 4 Great Demon Castles enter.
The battle with the great demons was tight.
I’m facing three.
Celestia fought against one of them for over a week.
The ground became a sea of fire, and blizzards and thunder raged.
And as time passed, the balance of power began to tilt slightly towards us.
At the time, I thought it was rather good.
I thought that if time passed as it is, I would be able to deal with them all and occupy all the Great Devil Castles.
I’ll eat about 3 more Great Demon Castles… I’ll give Celestia one more, and it’ll be fine…
I was drinking that cold kimchi soup.
Did they feel it too?
The distorted face that intuited that the great devils had been fucked is still vivid.
It was Gromgal who began to crumble first.
Gromgal was the weakest of the remaining Great Demons, and it was great that his power of deception did not have a great influence on me.
If Gromgal was annihilated, the pendulum of the game would tilt sharply, and it was in an instant that the remaining great demons collapsed like dominoes.
‘It was fine until then…’
It was the moment when he was about to annihilate Gromgal after a long battle. Due to the attack that came from somewhere, I couldn’t land a final blow on him.
About 8 guys appeared wearing something that looked like a strange full body armor or something like a suit.
“Idiot!”
Seeing the faces of the invisible ones, Celestia screamed in astonishment.
“Belonging to the Zephyria special combat unit. This is Boris. Great devil Uno, I hope you stop at this point.”
The demons who suddenly appeared began to mediate our fight.
I was dumbfounded.
The words were the same as mediation and notification.
What are they
Besides, the demon named Boris was taking an arrogant, high-handed, unlucky stance.
Of course, I couldn’t accept the words of the dog-bone-like bastards who came from somewhere.
Victory was imminent.
Arbitration in a battle that has been won.
Who do you like?
Of course I refused.
I had to fight with the guys.
As the demons participated in the battle on the opposing side of the great demons, the match went back to square one and a tense battle continued.
Each one of them was inferior to the Great Devil, but they had quite strong combat abilities and pincer attacks.
Their pincer attack method was quite heterogeneous, yet familiar.
He has been dealing with me with a tactic similar to modern warfare.
I deployed something like a sniper and fought while avoiding close combat with me as much as possible.
They responded so well that I thought they knew quite a bit about my fighting style.
Were you watching me battle the Prime Evils?
It could have been because he appeared at the right time.
At that point, I also thought that the demon king might come out, so I had no choice but to wait.
The most decisive reason for our retreat was.
It was a report from Cosmos.
〈 Strange guys started attacking the Great Demon Castle.〉
It was empty house hair.
The demons started robbing empty houses in our Great Devil Castle.
I left Ignis behind in preparation for an unexpected situation, but I couldn’t be relieved when I thought of the extraordinary fighting power of the demons.
In the end, we had no choice but to retreat like that.
‘If it wasn’t for the demons, it wouldn’t have dragged on like this…’
Right now, the relationship between the demons and me was really bad. I couldn’t get along well with the guys who got their noses out of the finished rice.
‘Shit… They must have a spaceship…’
Looking at the equipment they were using, it was almost certain.
I could understand now how Gromgal reacted so quickly.
It was the work of the demons.
Didn’t Gromgal, who obtained the information about me and Celestia’s pincer attack and occupied the Great Demon Castle of Leviathan from the demons, persuaded the other great demons to form an alliance?
There is no point in regretting the past.
Even so, regret is regret.

“My lord, are you listening?”
“Huh? Huh? Huh…”
“You weren’t listening. Master, if this operation fails, you might have to wait a few more years.”
Ignis, who was diligently briefing on the operation, noticed that I was thinking about something else like a ghost and scolded him.
We were currently having a strategy meeting on how to attack Gromgal.
As the demons started to support the other great demons, the situation became stuck.
The sluggish situation had been going on for several years.
Six years… No, seven years?
Since then, the four great demons have united and started to move.
The battle at that time seemed to have aroused a great sense of crisis in them.
I brought out the unity of the great demons that no one else could.
Celestia and I were the first to unite, but…
Since then, there have been several large and small clashes with them. Each time, Gromgal showed himself to be quite self-sacrificing.
‘I bet he didn’t know we were targeting him…’
The demons and the great demons probably don’t know what we want.
Our purpose is to return.
Celestia is to break the seal of the previous demon king.
In the meantime, Liliana and Verna, who were great wizards, have grown into super-class wizards. Even so… I couldn’t find a sharp number for return.
According to Liliana and Verna, who personally inspected the planetary barrier with me, finding it within 10 years is fast.
When I saw it, it seems that I talked about it briefly.
When I saw the faces of the girls who saw the planet barrier, I wondered if 100 years would be difficult.
Right now, rather than finding a way for them to return, as Celestia said, rescuing the former demon king seemed the quickest way to return.
It was under the premise that Celestia hadn’t played Gura.
Of course, the Demons and the Great Devils will not know our purpose.
Wouldn’t they think that the Great Devil, who had just gained great power, would greedily try to occupy another castle?
First of all, it was revealed to the outside world that my goal was to occupy all the Great Devil Castles.
It is a smoke screen operation to hide what we are aiming for.
In the meantime, he had been fighting against the great demons and had been looking for opportunities several times, but it wasn’t easy to catch Gromgal, who was playing a fool.
At the time of the first battle, it almost destroyed me, so I don’t know if it’s a trauma.
Every time I aim at him, I am startled and run away, the trauma is obvious.
The Great Devil is Trauma.
How did he become the Great Devil with such bird breasts…
Thinking that I could no longer lead the situation sluggishly, I decided to throw a match.
The trump card this time was Ignis.
In the meantime, she has become stronger by fighting against the great demons, big and small.
I thought Ignis wouldn’t be far behind even if he fought one of the Great Demons.
If you think about washing the equipment, you might be able to handle it without difficulty.
In the meantime, Ignis left Ignis at the main base to protect her while fighting against the demons, but this time she decided to boldly attack.
Ignis decided to mobilize all the other women to deal with Gromgal.
