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

046. Promise

won

But it was only a wounded victory.

From the 1st floor to the 10th floor. All floors were swept away. The deployed monsters were annihilated, and all facilities were destroyed.

The top of the tower and the 11th floor were no different.

Drakson enforced the trick of gathering power to normal. Thanks to this, he won, but it resulted in a head-on confrontation with the warriors who had preserved their power up to the 11th floor.

“Damn it. Roselle Chartres, that bitch and her bodyguards do a lot of damage!”

Did I say red chloride? My teeth were ripped apart.

“Fortunately, there are many Magi points.”

Casey calmed Drakson.

The main source of obtaining Magic Points is the negative emotions of humans, but in fact, the more valuable thing was the human life force itself. There were many warriors among those who entered the tower and shed blood.

By gaining dimensional power, he gained the opposite power to the invader, so ironically, when he died, he gave the Demon King more power.

“It won’t be enough, but it will recover to some extent.”

Drakson shook his head at Casey’s report. He knew that the restoration of the tower now had to be his top priority.

I knew that he was going to be in the guild of heroes, and he knew that he would get help once, but never twice.

But Drakson couldn’t.

“I will report to Archduke Alkyin and search the tower’s records.”

What was the cause of this situation?

it was the guy A bastard who broke into the tower and killed the 2nd Prince of Ormus. Some of the demon lords who sent the demons.

Without him, the second prince of Ormus would not have died. Hundreds of warriors did not run, nor the tower was damaged like this.

So Draxon couldn’t stand it. I wanted to find him no matter what. I wanted to find and take revenge.

The last magi obtained by blocking the troop had to be used for it.

It takes enormous power to cross the dimension.

It’s the same even for simple communication, so just posting a report to Archduke Alkyin consumes quite a lot of magic points.

Reporting, getting permission, and recording the tower was one of the innumerable powers of the tower, and it required enormous magic to execute the power.

“But, Demon Lord…! Then, when the second bravery happens…”

“It doesn’t die.”

Draxson did not completely believe in Archduke Alkyn. But until now, he believed in the Magi that he had paid him separately.

He believed in his ability to convince him that he would be able to consistently pay off in the future.

“The Archduke Alkyne will not abandon me.”

The dimension of Arain is called the Tomb of Demon Kings. The one who survived the longest in such a tomb was Jason Cockmundo, and since then, the surviving demon lords have gradually increased.

And Draxson was second. They lived here for nearly a hundred years. Archduke Alkyin will not be easy to obtain a capable napull like himself.

“Go out. I will contact you.”

“.

Casey left the office.

Drakson approached the crystal ball.

A huge amount of magic flowed out. The tower began to shake.

There are ten Archdukes in the Demon Realm.

Each Archduke is in charge of one dimension, and there are five Demon Lords under the Archduke.

Depending on what the demon lords do, how many demons they send to the demon realm, and how quickly they conquer the dimension, all become their performance.

In that sense, Arain was the worst dimension.

This is because Arain has eaten dozens of demon kings so far, and the death of the demon king is also caught by the Grand Duke’s mistake.

the exile of the princes. The worst position you have to give up on further promotions once you have been given them.

“…that’s not particularly bad either.”

But if there was no greed, there were few dimensions as good as this one.

In the past, the demon lord died every day, but from a certain moment, the demon lords began to adapt. The frequency of death has decreased, and now there is no significant change.

One position is constantly changing.

In any case, Arain was an abandoned dimension, so the management of the upper level was neglected. It meant that there was no big problem even if you take it and operate it with peace of mind.

So Alkyne Vlamiv liked Araine.

There was nothing to be conquered, so there was no need for tasks such as adapting to a new dimension like other archdukes.

Now, there have been very few incidents where demon lords are dying, so the number of incidents related to it has also decreased.

At the same time, there is honor, and they are pitiful from the outside and give more rewards. And even the steady reward of magic points from some demon kings.

There was no paradise like this for Alkyin Vlamiv, who was full of thoughts of retirement and eating for another hundred years or so.

‘It’s not perfect.’

Recently, I was reminded of the poor man who turned the world upside down.

He was so upset that he voluntarily accepted it and sent him to Arain. And in case of any trickery, I gave an order through Draxon.

‘I thought I was going to die right away, but surprisingly, I survived well.’

Because of the dimensional bulkhead, he couldn’t hear the report often, but he didn’t let go of it at all.

He knew that he had kidnapped the 1st princess of Hilderan, and that the heroic journey had begun. And that bravery was twisted.

‘Did you build the tower in a strange place?’

The warriors said they couldn’t find the tower. It was an action contrary to the standard of building a tower where it can be found appropriately.

👌👌 Nevertheless, Alkyne Vlamiv persevered.

He was an idiot who openly insulted the standard at the graduation ceremony. This was somewhat expected.

‘The location of the tower is actually vague. In the end, it is an individual judgment that it is a moderately dangerous but moderately exposed place.’

If you want to catch a pod, you can catch it, but it was difficult to give a severe punishment. So Alkyne Vlamiv was waiting. May Berge commit another sin.

‘There is no way that such a bastard can stop at just this one.’

It will accumulate over time. And all of that will suffocate him.

‘Dalgun.’

Alkyne savored the wine as red as blood. The faint smell of blood made the drink even sweeter.

smart-

“Sir Grand Duke. This is from Arain.”

“Who is it?”

“This is the Demon Lord, Draxon Doldorf.”

“I will go.”

‘Isn’t it time for a regular report?’

Crossing the dimensional barrier requires quite a lot of power, even if it’s very trivial, so there was no unnecessary communication.

Arrived at the dimensional communication room and closed the door. Magic energy was injected into the violently fluctuating communication port.

“I see you, Grand Duke.”

A familiar face bowed his head.

“What happened all of a sudden? There is still about a month until the originally scheduled date . . .”

『I request you to search the records of the tower.』

“…what happened?”

It takes a lot of magic to search the records of the tower. Because of this, many demon lords did not want to do it at all, and since Alkyin Vlamiv became the Grand Duke, no one has ever tried to search the records.

『A higher class demon has invaded my realm. Higher-class demons…”

It was a dismal report. According to him, Draxson was currently in a situation of windmill lighting. It was not strange when the 2nd troop arrived.

‘Draxon Doldorf dies?’

It was never what he wished for the most reliable supply of Magi to disappear in vain.

“someone?”

“I’m thinking of Jason Cockmundo.”

“What about Berge Deias?”

“But there are no advanced demons by his side.”

It was a reasonable inference. However.

‘Something is reluctant.’

The Jason he knew was never a demon who had such an irrational number. The same goes for Reina Sordein and Ugar Belbek.

‘And it takes.’

Was it a coincidence that Berge’s confident smile came to mind? Is there really any other demon king who can do something like this that a normal demon king would never do?

“I see. Then, with my authority, I will release the tower’s record protection. It will take some time…”

Alkyne Vlamiv struggled to swallow the hesitation. First of all, it was time to search the records and find the rebel that dared to smack the back of the same demon king.

* * *

A faint scent of incense filled the dark bedroom.

The colorful sound of breathing was shrill.

The maids wiped the sweat running down the old man’s forehead. Then, the door opened slightly.

“I see you, Prince.”

The maids quietly bowed their heads.

“Get out for a while. I have a story to share with your Majesty.”

“However···.”

“I won’t say it twice.”

“···Yes.”

The maids often vanished with footsteps.

It was only the two of them left in the dark bedroom. The prince pulled out a chair and sat down by the bed. I looked into the eyes of the old man who was struggling.

“What… what’s going on?”

“I have received a call from the Kingdom of Akan. He said he wanted to completely destroy the tower of the beast, and secretly said that he would dispatch an elite.”

“…that doesn’t work. Using the tower as an excuse… to invade the border…”

“Already allowed.”

“The tower must not fall…!”

The old man’s eyes fluttered. The prince continued speaking quietly.

“Do you know what the situation in the kingdom is now? The kingdom’s most elite two thousand have evaporated. After Max died, even the nobles who followed him disappeared, leaving a serious void.”

“But thanks to the bravery’s clumsy touch on the demon king, monsters in the uncontrolled area are bouncing in all directions.”

“Even at this moment, the people of the kingdom are dying.”

For Ormus, the Tower of the Beast was a necessary evil.

The demon king was an enemy that had to be defeated, but the burden on the kingdom was greatly reduced thanks to the demon king of the beast controlling some of the monsters in the forest.

In addition, the huge amount of money consumed by the warriors and the Heroes Guild in search of a tower for a kingdom that does not have much money to make was a necessary danbi.

But that was a thing of the past.

“No matter what the circumstances, Max invaded the Demon King’s realm first. We broke the tacit agreement first. It is unknown whether the Demon King will again grant the same mercy as before.”

How much less, someone moved the Ballaf Dislord to make the bravery run unsuccessful. I don’t know what its purpose was, but the prince thought that it would not be of any benefit to Ormus.

“So that tower must disappear. For now, that’s the best.”

But Ormus alone was not enough. So, the request of the Akan Kingdom was accepted.

“They will come over to Ormus in secret. The number will not be very high, so if you are careful, other countries will not find out.”

“We just need to clear the way for a while. Then, Roselle Chartres, the raid, and the elite of Akan will defeat the Demon King.”

“In return, we get a lot of gold coins and some loot.”

It was a short-term benefit. But at a moment when everything could fall apart, it was right to receive it.

“But… if the tower collapses, the future of the kingdom…”

“The future will be drawn by me, not His Majesty today and tomorrow in the bedroom.”

“…you dare dare.”

Blood stood in the old man’s eyes.

“Your Majesty, it may be a little disappointing from your point of view. He wanted Max to be king rather than me.”

It was through the power of the old man that Max, the son of the concubine, was able to become an equal successor to the first prince.

But there was no one to raise a hand for the old man, who had died and was completely lying on the ground from the shock.

“Go quietly in your bedroom. But I will do my best to serve you.”

The prince rose from his seat.

oh Come to think of it.

He turned his head.

“Did you say Kaede Jespine?”

A princess who made a huge tribute to the Jespine Empire and decided to accept her as a concubine.

He did not shoot at whether he was wasting the kingdom’s resources just because of one woman.

It was a bribe for the mercy of the Empire. It was a token of the faithful dog received in return.

Ormus could not escape the influence of the Empire, so he had no choice but to use the fetters of the name of the Princess.

“If she is rescued from the Demon King’s Tower, I will take her as my own rain.”

Perhaps, she is also hoping for it.

The prince bowed his head politely once more.

“Then get some rest. I will inherit the throne, Father.”

widely-

The door is closed.

“Draxon is an asshole.”

Berge added certainty to the assumption.

It’s not that he’s stupid. because it’s incompetent

“Humans did not recognize it. An elf, a spirit, a demon king, a hero.”

He hadn’t noticed that Berger was the Demon King.

That’s how great Phoenix’s body was. However, even after absorbing these things, Draxson from his previous life did not show a proper performance.

So it’s sick

Of course, it wasn’t the only advantages.

The unfamiliar power of pure mana was not so familiar to the Demon Lord Berzee to deal with. Not to mention, the physical repulsion burned its own body.

In other words, the more you use force, the more you get injured.

It was ironic like a dog.

However, since there were many things that could be obtained beyond the restrictions, Berge did not mind.

I couldn’t even imagine how many things I could do in the future by melting into the race of Alain with this power.

“What do you think?”

Healan Cargill’s voice broke my thoughts.

“I was thinking after hunting the Demon King of the Beasts.”

“You think you will succeed.”

“Success. There is no other option than that.”

It wasn’t confidence or declaration. Whatever the case, Draxson had to die.

“You cut off Draxson’s head.”

The demon king can also absorb that power by killing the same demon king. They become stronger as they fight and eat each other. Because that’s the nature of demons.

But not now.

Berge’s body was already saturated. The magic that should be kept in the two was concentrated in one, and a new power was placed in the other.

It was daunting right now just to completely melt them.

Even if it’s simply not.

The hero, Hillen Cargill, beheaded the Demon King, and there were so many things he could get.

honor and power. and status.

“Yes.”

Knowing that, Hillen Cargill didn’t deny it either.

“And then….”

Berge tapped the table.

“I don’t know much about the Heroes’ Guild, but if you are a warrior who has been decapitated by the Demon King twice, will you be able to have your own position within the Heroes’ Guild? Two failures are enough to wash away.”

“you’re right. Rather, it is my field of expertise to create an image of overcoming one’s own failures.”

“You are trash.”

Berger smiled faintly.

“I want you to become the backbone of the Heroes’ Guild.”

He wanted to destroy the Heroes’ Guild, the Demon King’s biggest enemy, from the inside out.

“That’s what I want.”

All warriors are obliged to join the Hero’s Guild. There was no way that the group to which all the warriors joined was powerless.

So did Hillen Cargill.

“My goal is to become the master of the Hero’s Guild.”

“I will make that dream come true. Help me in it.”

Berge stopped talking.

Moments later, someone knocked on the door. It was the first human I saw, no, it was a hero.

“Excuse me. Are you Hillen Cargill and Fail?”

“you’re right.”

“This is a message from Roselle Chartres, Captain. ‘Come now, I’ll show you what I promised.’”

“It is promised.”

One is to get Hillen Cargill to join the bravery.

The other was to make the second heroic act as soon as possible.

According to Hillen’s words, the Hero’s Guild is relatively unattractive. How did you persuade him?

you’ll know when you go

Berger stood up.

“Guide me.”
