I’m the Demon King, but There Are Too Many Heroes

023. Lol, sulky

“It’s nothing.”

The logger rolled on the floor. Hillen kicked him and spit.

“A man with a reputation for being a hero raises a hammer for the Demon King? Are all the magic guns that fucked us up your work?”

“okay! It’s the one thing that didn’t cut your lifeline at once by paying more attention! Are you the one who shatters someone else’s work like that?”

“Oh, what a bastard. The dimensional power is deplorable.”

He kicked the logger once more with his soaring heart. He drooped with a shrill scream.

“I’m going to die of being busy, but it’s such a beggar.”

He wanted to solve this frustration by interrogating the dwarf, but the demon king was chasing him from behind.

I didn’t have time to waste even a second, but the same hero was arguing, and I was on the verge of burning out.

“It’s fun, let’s keep going. It’s not a very common opportunity to watch the battles between heroes from the demon king’s point of view.”

It’s already late.

“under.”

When he came, the demon king was seated in front of the tower’s gate. The carefreeness that even brought the chair could only think that he was making fun of himself.

escape? impossible.

From start to finish, he was playing as the Demon King intended.

“What are you?”

“It’s the devil. They call me Berge Deias.”

“Who doesn’t know that!”

“It’s a bad taste to ask knowingly.”

The Demon King found this situation very interesting.

It was even more so compared to the previous life.

Demon King and Hero. A warrior and a demon king.

In his memory, it was the Demon King who was being teased. It was the Demon King who was used and eventually died.

But what about now? has become the opposite.

He is laughing at and ridiculing the warrior and playing with it. It was restoring his self-esteem, which had collapsed just before the return.

“I mean. You tried to understand a hundred times that there were no demons or demons?”

It is the lord’s heart not to deploy soldiers in the castle. Yes, it is better to think of it that way. But there is no one who uses an ogre as a gatekeeper in the castle just because he is crazy.

“How the hell did you put the princess and this bug on your side? Is it mental magic?”

“Unfortunately, I have no talent for that.”

Hwareuk-

Berge created a black flame.

“My organs are chloride. You may already know.”

Yes, I heard.

Hillen sharpened his teeth.

Through the mouth of a nobleman, I heard that he was a demon king with a special skill in fire magic. So, he spent a lot of money to equip all the crew with flame-resistant equipment.

But for some reason, I didn’t even see the speaker of the flames until I came here. The money sucker did what she wanted and had no income.

“Is that story yours…?”

“Unfortunately, that is not the case.”

“Well, that’s probably fine. I asked him how he manipulated the princess.”

“The correct answer is persuasion, not manipulation. The princess voluntarily became my strength.”

“dog sound! A princess can’t follow a demon lord like you!”

“I follow a chew like you, but I can’t follow me as a demon.”

The answer came from somewhere else. Hillen’s pupils widened.

The Demon King is here. I thought you were dead because of that?

“Granada-sama…?”

“Fuck you. We saw each other and couldn’t see each other, so why don’t you stop being polite?”

“Ah, the introduction is late. This is the Sioux who swore to serve me for a hundred years. Call me Granada.”

“…even elves?”

this crazy

what the hell

“What are you? Are you really the Demon King?”

“That’s right, I built a tower!”

Paak-

The elf’s knee hit Hillen’s chin.

“You’re chewing to offer me as a sacrifice.”

His vision was darkened by the blunt shock that followed.

* * *

“What about those who passed out outside?”

“Pick up all of them and put them in the dungeon.”

I didn’t know that the number of prisoners would outnumber the members of the tower.

🥺 and laughed just a laugh

“Are you crazy?”

“I think you are crazy. Mental education is still lacking.”

“I’ll go out and pick it up!”

Granada disappeared after a while. Gordon, who had been quietly listening to the story, bowed his head.

“… the Demon Lord was right.”

The spirit of the demons who believed in the standard always shouted against it, but in fact, they were only vaguely guessing.

If this really happened, no matter how great a hero, he would have no choice but to eat.

All of Berge’s methods were eccentric, yet subtly certain.

But guessing and certainty were different.

Gordon, who watched everything right before his eyes, thought.

If you did it standard.

Build a tower as if it were purple.

Sending monsters to hinder the hero.

If only weak monsters were placed on the first floor.

Could the hero be stopped?

not. He was full of pride for the demon world and standard, but Gordon was not foolish.

If you insist on standard.

‘dead. No doubt.’

It would be easy to find and they would not have been divided.

There would have been no damage from the moment the door was opened.

If it weren’t for the princess, I wouldn’t have been able to catch Hillen Cargill so easily.

He was wrong and the Demon King was right.

‘If you think about it, you’ve always had a good reputation for your abilities…’

Until he insulted standard, he was called the greatest senior ever. The Demon King Military Academy was established thousands of years ago, but there was a good reason for such a sound to come out of all the riders.

“I will faithfully assist the Demon King in the future. I will do my best to stand by the side of the Demon King.”

“I’m glad that you won’t be arguing with me anymore.”

“·················ogue.”

How did you get the emotions you spit out after thinking like this?

Also, he didn’t like the poor demon king he served.

* * *

“Finally.”

Drakson was in a good mood today.

It was because reports came from subordinates who had been dispatched to Hortonworks.

“The end of the heroic journey has come. The moment when the brave squad climbs the mountain and opens the tower door is probably his last moment.”

heh heh It was a pleasure to imagine those cheeky haircuts falling off.

“What do you think? Berger. Will his neck fall off?”

“In the past, Hillen Cargill’s fighting prowess was not highly appreciated.”

There was a perception that he was good at politics rather than his ability. Of course, it was a story when compared to the best warriors.

“But that is also a thing of the past.”

After killing the demon king of lust, public opinion was reversed.

Just as demons become stronger by hunting demons, so also warriors become stronger by subjugating demons.

The difference is that the Demon King eats away the negative emotions of humans due to the Hero’s fame, and the Hero replaces the Demon King’s power itself with interference and absorbs it, but the result is the same.

“It is surprising that the elf warrior, Burtein, who was expected by everyone, died and was finally beheaded by Hillen, but the important thing is that he accomplished it and absorbed its power. Of course, how much you digested is another matter.”

At least it would be enough to deal with the immediate Berge.

No matter how rumored that Berger was the best senior ever, he was just a newcomer.

He didn’t spend any magic points for himself.

The interference power will remain the same, and the Demon King in that state is dead and awake, but cannot defeat Hillen Cargill.

I was sure because

So one day, two days, three days, four days.

Time has passed. As Drakson’s patience reached its limit, the long-awaited rumor finally arrived.

“that···.”

“Speak quickly. Hillen Cargill must have climbed the descent with Berge’s head, didn’t he?”

“I still don’t know whether it will succeed or not.”

“What kind of bullshit is that! Didn’t you say that the warriors have returned!”

“The stragglers, including Wharton, who gave up halfway because they could not find the tower, came down. It is said that Hillen and some are still on Mount Erzest.”

“Can’t find the tower…?”

No way.

The tower should stand proudly in the most obvious place.

“The highest peak, it must be at the top! Those idiots have been a warrior for several years, but you don’t even know that!”

“That’s not the case.”

『I couldn’t find the tower at the top, so I searched the area, but it was still difficult. Eventually, the exhausted Wharton and part of it came apart.”

Oh My God.

Drakson slapped his forehead.

It was then that he realized the full story of the case.

“You crazy bastard! I was a nerd, a nerd, and then I was a real bum!”

It wasn’t enough to insult the standard, he really broke the standard.

* * *

half failure.

The return of the warriors, including Wharton Colo, gave a considerable shock to the world.

“Healan Cargill is failing. This demon lord is very strong!”

“A great demon king has descended!”

“Healan Cargill didn’t come.”

“Is it not just a failure, but death?”

All kinds of rumors and rumors spread. Those negative rumors became the point of Berge, but they did not know.

Wharton Colo was interviewed as the representative in the end due to the rumors that he was getting bigger and bigger.

“It is not yet a failure. Me and some of the warriors felt inadequate and just gave up. There is hope as Hillen Cargill and his great warriors are still looking for the Tower of the Demon King.”

But it created another controversy.

“Why are you looking for the tower? Is it that the Demon King’s Tower is not at the top?”

“Of course, isn’t the tower in the most likely place? Among the demon lords, there wasn’t a single one who didn’t?”

Their failure brought confusion about the new demon king they brought.

And it was the people who made it their business to subdue them who received the shock more than anyone else.

“Is it different from the previous demon lords?”

“Yes that’s right.”

Summoned to the headquarters of the Heroes’ Guild, Wharton bowed his head. Five shadows surrounded him.

He struggled to remain calm in the heavy atmosphere.

“Brave, Wharton, tell me exactly the process.”

“If there is even the slightest lie, you will pay the price.”

“I swear to always tell the truth in front of the elders of the guild.”

From the beginning of the heroic journey to the moment of giving up. Wharton finished talking and left.

“…There has never been a Demon Lord like this before.”

“The demon king hides the tower and does not send demons. I’d rather believe that dwarves live in trees.”

“But Wharton can’t lie. The other warriors said the same thing.”

“So no more. Why is the Demon King suddenly like this? Are you a demon lord who violates the standard that is so sacred? Aren’t you crazy?”

There was silence for a moment. But no one here could know the answer.

Unless you ask directly.

“I will make a decision.”

The five elders bowed their heads at the profound voice.

“This Demon King has several unique features.”

“The first thing is that no demons or demons were sent to interfere with the bravery.”

“The second is to build a tower on a rough terrain called Erzestra.”

“The third is to hide in a secret place, not at the summit of Erzest.”

“It is not yet known whether Hillen Cargill wins or loses, but those variables could be a big problem in the future.”

“therefore.”

“This chairperson will check the abnormalities on behalf of the absent guild chief.”

“According to the agreement between the Demon King and the guild, we request cooperation on variables.”

The meeting is over.
