041. Better to die
There was a huge amount of information waiting for Berge, who had returned to the tower after losing all contact while fainting.
“Where have you been? The continent has turned upside down!”
Gordon smiled and greeted him. The hesitant and hesitant words were the confirmation that things had grown bigger than Berger had expected.
‘Ormus has issued a general mobilization order.’
‘A request has been officially entered into the Heroes’ Guild, and the warriors are gathering.’
I tried to fuck Draxon, but I didn’t know it would turn out this far.
“Roselle Chartres?”
He scratched his chin at the mention of the new hero.
“Yes.”
『Brave, Roselle Charter.』
“He is a warrior from Traparta, and he always gets into the top 10 when lining up in order of strength. They are often called stars.”
“I am a magician, and I am particularly good at fire magic. Considering that he is a simple wizard, his close combat power is also considerable, so he is called a model of a battle mage.
“As a special feature, I was originally assigned to be the hero commander of the Tower of Cold, but I was pushed out. But when all the schedules were twisted, it was decided again.”
Berge, who was listening quietly, asked.
“Is that woman the captain of the warriors heading towards the Tower of the Beast?”
“Yes. The troop has gathered nearly five hundred people so far, and about two hundred of them are warriors.”
“…a lot of dirt.”
Berger frowned at the sudden memory of the past.
“Unlike the previous ones, there will be no tours this time.”
“Like the brave journey to the tower of lust.”
“Are you really going to cut off Draxon’s head?”
“That’s ambiguous.”
What does ambiguous mean? The warriors are still gathering, and the Braves Guild is urging them to step forward. No matter how you look at it, it seems to be the end.
『The will of the Heroes Guild is firm, but someone has moved. Some of the warriors are not lifting their heavy buttocks.”
“that···.”
“It’s two things. Either someone doesn’t want the Demon King of the Beast to die, or Ormus is upset.”
“You mean that individuals, not the Heroes’ Guild, can do that?”
“It is officially forbidden, but there are people who support the cancer. Heroes who are supported cannot ignore them.”
Heroes need money, and those in power want to obtain a powerful hand called a warrior.
It was the reason why the support and lobby did not disappear even though it was officially banned for the sake of moving for the safety, justice, and cause of the continent rather than someone’s greed.
“Do you have no sponsors?”
『I cut the head of the demon king of lust and cut it all off because I wanted to do well on my own. Being a supporter is good because it gives you money, but it’s because it interferes a lot.”
“But, thanks to someone, I’ve been sloppy.”
Berge turned the topic with a snort.
“Who is it?”
“To be honest, there are too many people who can guess. It’s because Ormus doesn’t have good relations with other countries. Personally, I think the 1st Prince of Ormus is the most powerful.”
“First Prince?”
“From his point of view, it must be the feeling of missing a sick tooth. Since the succession structure has been firmly established, there is no need to consume national power towards the Tower of the Demon King. However, since there is no justification, we would like to make it ‘there is no choice because there are not enough heroes’.”
“Humans are so funny.”
In some ways, it was more like a demon.
That’s why it was said that I was defeated.
“I also need to be a little more energetic.”
For the sake of greed, I was trying to fight by thoroughly protecting the standards and the obvious things, against humans who sold their dimensions.
Looking back now, it was a life destined for defeat.
Suddenly, a question came to mind.
“How does it compare to you?”
“Who are you talking to?”
“Is it your personality to ask knowingly?”
“…I’m pushed.”
“Is it just being pushed?”
“Nine out of ten you lose.”
“Aren’t you also Hillen Cargill, who killed the demon king of lust? I think you underestimate yourself too much.”
“Do I have to answer?”
“no.”
Yes, I was just guessing. Hillen Cargill fell short of fame. It wasn’t that he was weak. However, compared to other warriors of equal fame, it was also true that it was lacking.
‘Honestly, it is questionable how he killed the demon king of lust.’
But if you think about it, even before the return, other aspects than the armed force were highlighted.
Well, it wasn’t really important. In any case, Hillen Cargill was a high-level warrior, and as long as he killed the demon king of lust, a better future is guaranteed.
“By the way, I hope that this subjugation will go smoothly and come true.”
“Aren’t you… the same Demon Lord?”
“The one thing we and I have in common is that we are the Demon King.”
Draxson, even more so, claimed to be Archduke Alkyn’s dog and annoyed Berge from the beginning of his Advent. Will it hurt him if he dies? not.
So, on a national level?
Rather, it would be better if you killed Draxon and underestimated the Demon Lords. In the meantime, Berge will encroach on humans from the other side.
“What would happen if I spilled Draxon’s weakness?”
“…if that’s really valid, I’ll go directly to Roselle Charter, even if it means going under Roselle Charter.”
“Your eyes are full of greed.”
“It is for the sake of the cause. Shouldn’t we reduce our sacrifices even a little?”
The shameless man did not change the color of his face.
I thought about it for a while. If you’re going to kill Draxon anyway, it was best to borrow the hand of a hero, especially the hand of Hillen, who was connected to him.
If he cuts Drakson’s head, fame will follow, and so will wealth. The higher the position, the higher the utility value.
the problem is.
‘If it gets too big, it can be difficult to control.’
Hillen Cargill is a viper. He wears a mask of courtesy and hides a deadly poison inside.
Even now, he must be trying to get rid of the poison that has settled in his head while following the tombs.
As far as he knows it’s impossible, but maybe it’s possible. This is because the heroes are people who cannot be completely judged by his common sense.
However, there was no need for a single control method.
“Then don’t do it. Please tell me about it soon.”
“Yes,”
“And support the brave warriors who secretly show off the golden moon top.”
『…I wonder what the faces of the heroes who were sponsored by saying they are good will look like when they find out the truth.』
“It will be very later.”
“Oh, and by the way. In the golden moon…”
After a while, the contact was cut off.
“Hmm.”
Berge extracted the voice stored in the crystal ball and put it in the memory crystal. It was put in the warehouse of the Magic Tower as it was.
Click-
Five or six memory crystals already in place welcomed their new kind.
* * *
“What.”
“It’s strange.”
Ernyl looked at Bergée, who came down to the 4th floor after arranging the situation in a hurry, with a strange expression.
In one corner, Kaede was wielding a sword. Seeing that he was no longer running, the words seemed to work well.
“More than?”
“yes. Nairuniel did it. The Demon King has changed.”
“What do you mean?”
“I said that I am a Demon Lord, but I am not like a Demon Lord. It has changed in a strange way.”
“But did that damn spirit have a stitched snout? Why are you hiding behind your back?”
Nairuniel, who had shrunk and was on Ernyl’s shoulder, jumped.
– Gill!
– You’re going to miss it!
“If it’s going to go out, turn it off properly to the Spirit Realm. Why didn’t it happen in the first place?”
– That’s it… Whoops!
Ernya hastily covered Nairuniel’s mouth.
“They say that the Demon Lord is not like the Demon Lord.”
“Then what?”
“It may sound funny, but it’s more like a living thing here…. But I don’t know. It seems to have become a little more friendly, but…”
– Don’t ignore the senses of the higher spirits! It has changed, even if it has changed, it has definitely changed! I don’t know what has changed, but it has changed!
Nairuniel exclaimed.
“But I don’t know what has changed?”
– right.
“You show your incompetence so proudly.”
– ·········.
“Still, I learned a good thing thanks to you.”
Even the higher spirits, who are more sensitive to mana than anyone else, could not understand properly. At least, it means that the possibility of being discovered by Draxon or other demon lords is significantly lowered.
“then.”
Hwareuk-
The first heart was closed and the second heart opened.

Mana replaced Magi. His hair and eyes were dyed red.
“How about this?”
“···uh.”
Ernya stuttered.
“Demon-sama, are you right?”
“Don’t you see that?”
“…I have to say that I am a completely human now, or a little closer to an elf. He was normally handsome.”
– How did you do that?
Nairuniel was astonished. The shaky pupils represented the confused mood as it was.
– It’s not like a demon, it’s just like a creature from another dimension!
It’s also super rich in mana!
As the kid said, he’s closer to an elf than a human. she muttered
– How could a demon or a demon king be like this? I’ve never heard of anything like this.
– What the hell are you doing around here? Where did you go and swallow a spirit?
– No, it can’t be like this…
“That’s good.”
Berge added certainty to the thoughts he had in his heart. If even the higher spirits resembled elves rather than demon kings, it would be the same for most people.
‘Perfect to test against a logger.’
If even the warrior doesn’t recognize it…
‘The reason why I don’t have to go out…’
none.
No matter how restrictive or harsh you are, in the end, you are the one you can trust the most.
Berge, who was heading down the stairs to the third floor, stopped next to Kaede. I looked down at her back, wielding the sword quietly.
“Whoaa…!”
Kaede, who had been trying to ignore his gaze, took a deep breath.
It wasn’t the exercise that made my back wet, but the cold sweat from the tension.
“What’s wrong?”
“…how can you talk so peacefully with the Demon Lord?”
“I don’t do anything particularly bad, and they treat me like a normal person.”
“A kidnapping is a bad thing! And that person is a vicious demon lord. It’s not just an attitude change.”
“Knocking is a bad thing, but someone might want to run away like that, right?”
Ernya smiled brightly.
“Like you ran away because you didn’t want to get married?”
“How do you do that?”
Kaede, whose face was red, hurriedly covered my mouth.
“I heard from the Demon King.”
“After all, you are a vicious demon lord! How dare you open up someone else’s private life like that…!”
Kaede shuddered.
– Whoa.
Nairuniel, who had been quietly listening, jumped up. He raised a small face and opened his eyes.
– Did you really run away because you didn’t want to get married?
– It’s also a fun story. Like the forbidden forbidden of a demon king and a princess…
“Niruniel, would you please turn me off to the Spirit Realm? I beg you to be respectful.”
Nairuniel ignored Ernyan’s words.
– I asked if he really hated marriage and ran away.
“…it wasn’t really that I ran away. I just wanted to subdue the Demon King and live as a hero, not as a princess.”
– That means you didn’t want to get married that much. While preparing to climb up this difficult Erzest.
“·················ogue.”
– So where are you?
“that is···.”
– Speak quickly. Don’t you know that the worst way to anger a spirit is to stop talking!
Kaede was perplexed by the spirit of the higher spirits. An urgent rescue request was directed to Ernyl, but she, who was curious in her heart, continued ignorantly.
“… it’s Ormus.”
Eventually he opened his mouth.
– Ormusra. I know that there are three princes who are all dead while shooting fiercely.
– Are you the first prince? 2 princes? Or the 3rd Prince?
“…the king.”
Not all three
“As far as I know, King Ormus lies in bed and says today and tomorrow…”
– Sup. That’s not what I’m talking about.
Nairuniel hastily covered Ernya’s mouth.
* * *
“…I don’t feel the magic at all. Rather, it seems that you are facing an elf or an excellent animist. Yes, like the Crown Princess of Hilderan…”
Berge confirmed even to the hero.
‘Draxon didn’t do this.’
I had never heard of him pretending not to be the Demon King with another power.
Of course, if there was such a thing, he would have done it secretly, but Draxson did not come out of his realm in the first place.
‘Well, if you think about it, there was no power of fire.’
immortality close to eternal life.
And the flame of deterioration that melts everything.
Phoenix’s power is divided into two main categories, but even after obtaining Phoenix’s corpse, I’ve never seen Drakson handle flames. There were no rumors.
Instead, there were rumors that it was a monster that regenerated wounds in real time.
‘Draxon has no attribute to fire in the first place. Everything is poured into the body like a stupid animal.’
So, I wondered if Phoenix’s power was only accepted that way.
‘I don’t have two hearts, so I can’t put them together…’
If there was a difference that came from the characteristics of the race, I understood.
“But what did you do? This is the first time the Demon Lord doesn’t feel like a demon at all. If you don’t mind, I’ll take a little blood…”
“…you guys, did you have any knowledge of magic?”
“It’s not great, but a little bit of alchemy and enchantment magic…”
…you were more versatile than I thought.
Indeed, it seems that it was not a lie that he was one of the few craftsmen in the Dwarven Kingdom.
“I think the torso is too long. Like a Dwarf, I will personally reduce it even more.”
“Sin, sorry! Stop out of curiosity…!”
“There are times to be curious and times not to be.”
“I’ll keep that in mind, Demon King!”
Logger fell flat on his stomach. Berge passed him.
“Where are you going?”
“I am going down the mountain.”
“Ah, so can you help me get some materials?”
I frowned and looked at Logger. It seems that the liver has gradually swelled because I have loosened it too much these days.
“…ah, that’s because I can’t go down alone…. However, it is impossible to break the command to strengthen the first floor…”
“If you have time, I will.”
“thank you! thank you!”
“Instead, if the results don’t live up to my expectations, I’ll pay the price for chasing me.”
“Choi, I will do my best!”
Leaving behind the trembling logger, he left the tower. The moment he stepped on the snow, he put in his magic and drew out his mana.
He noticed that his hair was dyed a faint red color, and turned his robe over to completely cover his face.
‘Originally, I was going to leave it to you, but…’
If this path had been created thanks to the Phoenix’s corpse, there was no reason not to go directly.
Berge recalled his correspondence with Hillen Cargill.
“Aman Katrash has established himself as a firm successor with a huge investment and my reputation.”
He mortgaged his soul as a Black Knight, but humans are crafty beings. When the body is far away, the mind becomes distant, and the mind that was like a flame fades over time.
Of course, as long as the contract was signed, the effect would be certain just by pressing the soul…
‘I’ve had an opportunity like this, but it doesn’t suit my temper to sit still in the tower.’
Before the return, I was obsessed with looking ‘like a demon king’ in order to be faithful to the standard, but I didn’t have to do that until this time in my life.
If even a little bit of efficiency was high and the warriors could be torn and killed, they could sell their feet.
‘In my mind, I would like to see the bravery, but…’
I wondered what it would be like to climb the Demon King’s Tower as a hero.
However, he was not convinced that other demon lords could not recognize him, so he put it on hold for now.
‘If possible, I wish that Drakson had a big room.’
Better to die
Since he didn’t have a particularly pretty corner, Berge wished Draxson to be completely roasted by Roselle Charter’s magic.
