I’m the Demon King, but There Are Too Many Heroes - I’m the Demon King, but There Are Too Many Heroes chapter 251

251. Hope and Despair

“. . . Krad and Olam are dead.”

This happened only a week after he had descended on Arain.

They died before they could even see the hairs of a traitor named Jason. by the warriors.

『············.”

『············.”

There was silence.

“…does this make sense?”

Janey smiled sadly.

“If Crad had died alone, I would have thought so. First of all, I knew that there were a lot of heroes and it was a dangerous dimension. But Olam went. But Olam also died.”

The great demon kings who have conquered many dimensions were cut together at one time.

Even though it wasn’t completely engulfed by the interference, and half of it had been released.

“Is the demon king funny? Does it make sense for the two of us to go and die as a set?”

『…this dimension is crazy. You’re a traitor, you’re Nabal, and you have to get out of here.”

“Calm down, Jane.”

“Do you really look like that? still don’t know The fact that they both died means that our next target could be us.”

Jane’s voice grew louder.

“Crad is an idiot, but he’s not an asshole. We follow our words quite well. There’s no way a human would ever have discovered the tower. I couldn’t have done anything. But the warriors have come! This dimension is crazy!”

“Even if that happens, once we have descended, we can’t go back to our own will if we want to go back.”

“Then let’s die quietly?”

“I asked Reina, but she said it could be a traitor’s tool. He said that he had been secretly killing the demon lords he didn’t like while cooperating with the warriors.”

“Then that’s even more of a problem!”

Dracoon, Drasis sighed.

“Cut down your excitement for now. When emotions become intense, it is impossible to make a cold judgment.”

Jaina took a couple of deep breaths.

“Okay, okay.”

“First, I contacted the Grand Duke. He was aware of the seriousness of the situation and said he would report to His Majesty Ma Hwang. Surely you will follow up. so···.”

“Can I just hold on until then? When is that? They both died within a week.”

“So that’s…”

“Wait, but where did Torion go?”

Drasis looked at Torion. As Janey said, he didn’t show up.

“···we are here. I was just getting an urgent report.”

“A quick report? no way···?”

“Yeah, that’s right. The warriors entered the tower. The first floor has already been wiped out and we are advancing to the second floor.”

“…so fast?”

damn it Drasis let out a swear word.

“Calm down, Torion.”

“I am calm now. Unlike a noisy snake.”

“I’ll open a portal for you, so why not run to my tower?”

『… no matter how much you become a demon lord, you can’t abandon the tower and run away.』

“is it.”

It wasn’t just pride or arrogance. To the Demon King, the tower was such an existence. It has to be done with life, no, in some ways it is more precious than life.

This was especially true in that the demon king who lost the tower had to become a member of another demon king in order to withstand the interference.

Of course, I would rather die than fall from an equal to a family.

“…good luck.”

“So are you. I hope the demon realm moves faster than the heroes.”

So communication was cut off.

One more demon king died.

* * *

【Healan Cargill finally slays three demon lords…! Be born greater than ever! ]

【Four people, not three? Two demon kings died on the same day. Hillen Cargill ‘The only reason I was able to kill the two demon lords was thanks to Fail-sama and Count Pagan…’]

【A breathtaking magic battle with the Archmage Roselle Chartered and the Demon King. Even the demon king knelt in front of her flames! ]

【Brave victories in a row! They weren’t weak. It’s just that the lies and chlorides were too strong. ]

【Healen Cargill ‘I will continue to do my best for mankind.’ Silence on questions about the Demon Lord of Fire. ]

【Roselle Charter ‘This is me!’ Roar. The body doesn’t exist for her? ]

Berger folded the newspaper.

“Very noisy.”

“Because it was intended.”

The first and second demon lords were Berge, Hillen, and Count Pagan, and the third demon lord moved with Roselle, Ralph, and Wharton.

In the process, Hillen prepared a recorder to record every battle scene.

And spread them out to the press.

“You must know the greatness of the warriors. That way, it fits the picture the Demon King draws even more.”

“A picture I draw?”

“Don’t you want a state in which the demon king and mankind are hostile to each other, not the demon realm? However, the truth is that the Demon Lord controls everything in the dark, such as Jason’s drawings.”

“The reason is?”

“In that way, the passage with the demon realm will not be opened, and the magical energy will be continuously supplied.”

Also. Hillen Cargill is smart.

The general underworld-style conquest was not what Berger wanted. If that happens, Arain will be assimilated into the Demon Realm, and a passage with the Demon Realm will be opened.

I didn’t want the battlefield to become Arain.

“Tell me a little more about your plans.”

“Berge-nim’s performance is so great that it will take quite some time for that fear to be forgotten. It may not be forgotten at all. I try to get rid of it or shorten it as much as possible.”

“After removing it?”

“No matter how strong an opponent is, if there is a suitable alternative, they can overcome it without fear.”

Right now, the power of Berge is quiet and quiet, but gradually there will be people who say that Berge should not be left alone.

In fact, in the recent newspapers, don’t you occasionally stab Berger once in a while?

“But if there is no alternative, they run like crazy dogs.”

“Isn’t it usually the other way around?”

“no. When you think that there is absolutely no solution, you feel despair, not fear. I think that hope is gone, no, there is no hope until you kill Berge-nim.”

Of course not everyone does. But a lot of people would think.

“’If it’s in this state, isn’t it just playing in the hands of the Demon King?’ do.”

“So, are you willing to risk your life to find hope?”

“In such a world, there is no meaning in living, so you will think that you have to risk your life to do something. Humans do anything when they are driven into a corner.”

Resistance will be constant and that’s not good for Berge in the long run.

“So you want to create an alternative?”

“Yes. The warriors are so great. The warriors grow. The warriors became stronger. It doesn’t happen like that anymore.”

There was no big meaning in catching common demons. But if you show them that they continue to hold the demon lords and absorb their power.

“The atmosphere will be high. Maybe a real confrontation is possible? you would think At that point, the Demon King runs a play once.”

“Are you asking me to look at you?”

“You don’t need that much. It’s enough if you just put on a little wound.”

“Hmm, not bad.”

Even if you say that outwardly, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re actually ruling the kingdoms.

However.

“So what do you gain from it?”

There’s no way he could have devised a plan like this with such pure loyalty.

“…it’s because I like the current world better, even if it’s just a play, than a half-destroyed and helpless world. At that point, people will no longer believe in the hero, and that is terrifying no matter how you think about it.”

Come to think of it, this guy really liked the attention of people.

Berger nodded for a good reason…

“At the same time, if it reaches Hilderan, won’t Ernya be sad? Even the Demon Lord wouldn’t want that…”

.

Whoops…!

“It’s off topic.”

“Sin, sorry!”

Hillen vomited blood.

* * *

As the southern part of the continent was gradually finding hope in the successive subjugation of the demon lord, the war in the northern part was gradually coming to an end.

This was because the command system was messed up as the demons transformed into emperors and high-ranking nobles lost their masters and began to enter the chapel.

This was because the 3rd prince who joined the alliance revealed evidence that the demons were wearing noble masks and instigated not to fight for the demons.

It was an incomprehensible war, but the majority of the soldiers who just followed it because it was a twilight began to have doubts about the war itself.

Gradually, more and more people deserted and returned to their hometowns or joined the 3rd Prince, and some simply opened the gates of the empire.

And above all.

─!

“…I still don’t understand how the gates can fall with one punch. It is obviously thick and hard, and it has a magic circle.”

“Don’t try to understand. just do it I’m glad it’s on our side. I’m really glad I’m not the enemy. Memorize the spell.”

Because of the overwhelming power of Ravinia Akan, those who lost their fighting spirit constantly appeared.

Losing his will to the rumors that the Empire is acting as a servant of the Demon King of lies, the command system has been twisted by the disappearance of warring emperors and nobles, whose food has been burned and morale has fallen. It was like an ogre.

“Oh my God, how far should I go!”

“What is the third prince? They betrayed us who came from the dungeon and joined the union!”

“But, the fact that His Majesty the Emperor and some nobles belong to the deceitful devil lord…”

“I think that makes sense! How could such a demon lord of lies make His Majesty the Emperor into a family!”

“But no matter how you think about it, isn’t it strange?”

Even the commanders were divided, and the Imperial Army retreated repeatedly. The successive setbacks further demoralized him, but he couldn’t help it. Because they didn’t have the strength to stop the confederation that was on the rise.

Eventually, the royal capital of Iasin was recaptured by the Union.

And the Confederacy soon began to advance into the Empire.

cuddle-

After checking all the newspapers, Lavinia crumpled it and threw it. The flames emitted by Hwaruk and Cher turned the newspapers into ashes.

“Devil.”

It was said that the demon kings had come anew.

It is said that the warriors hunted the descending demon kings.

Pale, Hillen, Roselle, Ralph, Wharton. Familiar names appeared one by one.

“why···.”

Her voice trembled with embarrassment.

“Why me?”

They told her to deal with the Empire, and they were the only ones doing fun things.

The demon king who descends with a tower is stronger than any other demon. I couldn’t deny it. Of course, the high-ranking demons are great, but the Demon King is something different.

Therefore, the by-products they have are also different.

Before killing the demon king’s by-products, collect them quickly and then apply preservation magic to prevent them from disappearing.

Would you have done that?

“Roselle.”

If so, there is a good chance. First of all, the wizard will know that the wizards of Akan are obsessed with the demon king’s byproducts.

But even so, the loss would be greater than that of collecting and preserving it herself. Can not help it. Because the hands of experts are different.

“. . . fail.”

But what about Berge? Wouldn’t it just be annoying to just crush it? that precious thing?

Somehow, I felt sick.

Should I run away like this and go catch the Demon King?

Just thinking about it has already happened a hundred times. If it hadn’t been for Cain’s heartbreaking request to stay, she would have been with Berge in the first place.

“chocolate···.”

I want to eat.

It was then that the communication equipment vibrated. It was given by the Demon King. Lavinia looked around. It didn’t feel popular.

“It’s been a while, Lavinia. How have you been?”

“bad.”

“suddenly?”

Berge frowned over the communication area.

“Demon Lord, me too.”

“Why do you have to fight the Empire?”

“yes.”

“The empire is also a demon. There are so many that we don’t know exactly how many of the high-ranking nobles, including the emperor, are demons.”

“Devil.”

“Certainly, the Demon Lord is different. That’s why I contacted you.”

Lavinia’s eyes lit up.

“me too?”

“No, that’s not it.”

Lavinia’s eyes turned pale.

“then?”

“Among the demon kings who descended this time, there were beasts. He ripped off his skin. Where should I use this?”

“Soo-in . . . leather···?”

she was overjoyed It’s the Demon King’s skin. It will definitely be very tough and hard. If you cover it with the outer skin of a monster or demon, you’ll get a pretty strong defense.

“Is that all?”

“What, do you want more?”

“tower.”

“You want to come to the tower?”

“yes.”

“It’s overkill right now. We have work to do with each other.”

“I don’t know if it’s after the empire is overthrown. It’s still only Hilderan, but he’s also joined hands with the human kingdom, so by then there’s no need to look at it.”

“really?”

“okay.”

“promise.”

She reached out to the communication channel.

“Yes, it is a promise.”

With the communication hole in between, each other’s fingers took pictures of the same place.

After completing the communication, Lavinia immediately looked for Cain.

“Corsair.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Corsair. The fall of the empire.”

“No, it’s not going to be that easy. How wide is the empire’s territory? Even now, it’s so fast that it can’t be compared, so it’s a little slow…”

“Corsair.”

“sister!”

Cain managed to stop Lavinia by begging for two hours.
