I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party - I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party chapter 138

138 – Demon World (4)

Demon World (4)

When Legion Commanders Six and Nine led their legions to subdue the fortress city.

Likewise, the Demon King’s army was moving its troops on a large scale.

From the very beginning, it was obvious that they were on the verge of a full-scale invasion of the human world, just by pushing forward with an all-out attack on the fortress city.

In such a situation, what needs to be done is not just military maintenance.

“Recently, we have detected some disturbing movements within Abaddon.”

“They are foolish things.”

The defection of Leviathan, the leader of Abaddon, and his death in the Battle of the Ranks.

The series of events was clear, but it was different for Abaddon, who lost his leader overnight.

It’s all manipulation.

Leviathan could not have betrayed Abaddon, and the Demon King, Belphegor, set a trap and killed him.

Rumors of such a tone were spreading. To be honest, it was only natural. After all, the leader of Abaddon had betrayed them overnight.

You went to talk to him and immediately gave in and took him under your command?

It’s a difficult problem to believe, but the person who was supposed to explain it lost his life.

Anyone can see that this is a suspicious situation.

“If this is how you treat me, I guess I’ll have to do it according to plan.”

And there is no way that the Demon King’s army, which made all these plans come true, would not know about it.

Abaddon is a potential bomb.

Since these are two groups that cannot compromise, we cannot leave them behind and move on.

That’s why I provoked you.

He left behind suspicious circumstances that anyone could see, and incited them.

And this is the result.

“It would be convenient if I could just sweep it away now.”

A group that has lost its center and has no decent troops but only a loud voice. Now there is a reason to push that group out.

Since we have shouldered the same responsibility, there is no intention of giving in.

I could have just pushed through with force from the start, but I also gave him a chance.

It was clearly the Demon King’s army that instigated this, but it was Abaddon who refused to accept defeat and created an atmosphere of unrest.

“Force, go and sweep it away.”

“I will follow your orders.”

Belphegor, the Demon Lord of Sloth, decided to send his Legion Commander Force to Abaddon’s domain in a weary state.

“Ah, but is it a bit much to send him alone? There might be some strong people left in Abaddon that we don’t know about, so it would be better to send one more person.”

Belphegor was able to see the situation to some extent since he had been informed by Lilith in advance.

It doesn’t matter what kind of enemies she has, but aren’t the legion commanders weak compared to her?

Now that we are about to invade the human world, we must prepare as thoroughly as possible.

“Can I go on that mission with you?”

“huh?”

At that moment, the conference room door opened and an old man dressed neatly in military uniform came in with dignity.

“Are you alive, Eleven?!

Everyone was surprised by the sight, but the one who showed the most dramatic reaction was none other than Corps Commander Ten.

It was only natural that he was quite wary of Eleven, who was just below him in the hierarchy, and that he even celebrated by thinking that Eleven was dead.

“I clearly said I was going on vacation… … Did Lieutenant General Liris not tell you?”

“No, that’s not it… … .”

Lilith has already said.

He said it confidently in front of everyone. The only one who didn’t believe it was the commander who was wary of Lilith.

It was the moment when Liris’s innocence was finally revealed, but…

‘What is this intention?’

‘They fooled us so perfectly.’

The legion commanders no longer believed that Lilith was innocent.

Because in their eyes, Lilith still seemed like something terrifying.

“I’ll go on that mission.”

“Well, that’s not bad. Then you and Twelve, the three of us will go.”

“Me, me?”

“Then is there anyone else here besides you?”

“Oh, no. I will follow your orders, Your Majesty.”

Belphegor added Twelve to the Force party in addition to Eleven for the most certain means.

I was already thinking about sending Twelve. His strength was lower than Belphegor’s standard, so I thought about sending another legion commander.

If Eleven is added, it would be okay to say that there are any enemies.

“Then what’s left?”

“This is the treatment of the dragon tribe.”

“There’s so much to do.”

Belphegor slumped over his throne, feeling that even though he had taken care of one big task, there was still more to do.

As always, it was a day when I really didn’t want to work.

***

And back to the present.

When the entire party of warriors, including Irina, gathered together, they all looked for one person in common.

“Well, it looks like he left us behind.”

It seemed like most of them had guessed that the extras had left the hero party, since Irina wasn’t the only one who had gathered information. And even though they knew that, they were still so calm, which showed that they had no intention of chasing him right away.

And that was the contract from the beginning.

The extra asked him to take him to Abaddon instead of giving directions. However, he abandoned the contract midway through the directions.

Even if he has to go to Abaddon for urgent matters, it is no problem.

Because the damage is borne by the extras alone, not the hero party.

“What should I do?”

However, even though it was a short time, we stayed together as colleagues.

Esmeralda discussed how to treat extras.

Irina, who had the most information, raised her hand first and spoke.

“There’s a reason I decided that he had to leave. It seems like the Demon King’s army is planning a full-scale invasion of the human world soon, and it also means that we don’t have much time.”

Yeah, that’s why the extras left. It was hard to ask Abaddon to take you there.

If you go through Abaddon, there is a high probability that you will encounter the Demon King’s army.

“If you think about it rationally, it would be right to throw it away. But… … .”

Irina shrugged her shoulders and glared at Esmeralda.

“You’re not a rational person, are you? You’re going to rescue him, right?”

“yes.”

“Then why are you asking?”

Irina let out a deep sigh.

The warrior, Esmeralda, is this kind of person. She fights for a cause, but she also does not turn a blind eye to the misfortune before her eyes.

Even while chasing my dreams, I always want to keep what I can reach within my reach.

Irina grumbled that she was being treated like a bad girl for no reason.

“Here’s a map, so take it.”

Bam.

Irina handed over the map she had obtained while gathering information to Esmeralda.

Even though it was called a map, it was nothing more than a rough sketch drawn by someone who knew the way, but for a party of warriors who were unfamiliar with the environment of the Demon World, even that was appreciated.

It was one of the things Irina had collected in advance, knowing that things would turn out like this.

“Saint.”

“yes?”

Jim, who had been blankly staring at Irina, smiled brightly and said.

“I find that aspect of the saint attractive.”

“……I don’t know.”

Jim knew that Irina had been holding him captive and that she had spent a considerable amount of time digging for information about Abaddon.

She’s a b*tch, but she also acts like one.

It’s probably because of the actions he’s committed.

A person who pretends to be a good person in front of others, but would rather be considered a sinner by those who know his true feelings.

That person was the uneasy leader of the Celestial Spirits sect, a saint named Irina.

Jim gently hugged Irina from behind as she turned her head and repeated his compliments to her.

“That, that’s enough… … .”

It was around this time that Irina, unable to contain her embarrassment at the act of affection, began to tremble.

“Oh, it’s shift change time? From now on, Garnet will be leading.”

Esmeralda, who could not stand to see that pitiful sight, forcefully removed Irina’s luggage.

If Irina helped you get the information, then she did it, so shouldn’t she follow the rules?

The tyrant of the warrior party. Esmeralda must maintain the balance of this party.

“Come here.”

Garnet seemed annoyed and took the rope around Jim’s neck and tugged on it, replacing it with her own.

The burden fell from Irina’s body, which was trembling with shame.

“There doesn’t seem to be any complaints….”

“Yes, well… … . This is enough for today.”

It was a situation where it was almost like they had forcibly taken it away when the mood was good, but Irina didn’t object.

He just lowered his head, his face flushed red and at a loss.

“Then shall we set off right away? We would have taken a rest, but our goal is to catch up.”

Esmeralda got up from her seat immediately after confirming that today’s luggage had been assigned.

There was a long way to go to catch up with the extras.

***

Immediately after setting out, Esmeralda was able to realize once again how harsh the environment of the Demon World was.

“ha…….”

In a situation where there is no shortcut or safe path, the only thing you can trust and follow is what is written on the map.

When passing through a place with thick magic, Esmeralda couldn’t help but feel out of breath.

Just being there, it feels like it’s crushing you.

The reason I can walk around in an environment that is no different from a solo dance while only feeling a loss of stamina is because Saint Irina is purifying my magic in real time.

“I know it’s late to ask, but you and Jim don’t know the way?”

“Why would I, as the commander of the legion, take the lead on this path? Normally, I would fly and not walk like this, avoiding people’s eyes.”

“That’s true too.”

If I could fly into the sky right now, I could get there in no time.

However, Abaddon is now in a state of war.

In that situation, even if he were the former commander, if he discovered Garnet approaching, there was a high probability that it would lead to a pointless dispute, and the problem was that the location of the warrior party could be discovered by the Demon King’s army through that dispute.

“What about Mr. Jim?”

Esmeralda asked Jim, who had collapsed while walking due to physical exhaustion.

From noble mtl dot nete

He was now able to move along the ground, dragging himself along by the leash Garnet was pulling. It was truly a situation worthy of its name.

“My life was from the moment I opened my eyes until I arrived at the Demon King’s Castle.”

“okay…….”

From the human world to the demon world.

Jim had to overcome the difficult path with only his body and no memory left, with only one thought in mind: to meet the Demon King.

That’s why the time it took was years, and I barely made it into the Demon King’s Army, but I was assigned to a warrior’s party.

There is no life more difficult than this.

“You’ve had a tough life. Come to think of it, maybe Jim was destined to join the warrior party from the beginning. That’s how our lives are.”

Lives that have been torn apart together.

The atmosphere of the warrior party that was climbing the steep hill became solemn.

And in that solemn atmosphere, the party of warriors who had overcome the most rugged hill could be found.

“… … I think it might already be too late either way.”

The realm of Abaddon, already in ruins.
