Episode 119

“First of all, let me apologize for launching the preemptive strike.”

Bow.

The man who appeared to be the captain said so, but his eyes did not seem particularly apologetic.

Rather, it was burning red as if there was a lot of things it wanted to ask me.

“But leaving that aside, I cannot help but ask why you, a player who is supposed to kill the Demon King, came to our celestial realm, and why you came looking for me.”

Did he figure out what I was up to?

It certainly didn’t seem like he was the leader of the guys just because of his strength.

“If you’re so curious, just tell me.”

But the opponent was wrong.

“Would you understand if I said I came to ask for your cooperation in killing that demon king?”

“……cooperation?”

It was a story that was somewhat convincing, as several of the surrounding celestials who had been on guard were seen lowering their windows.

Of course, most of them were still aiming their spears at me, probably doubting me.

“Yes, originally I would have gone straight to the Demon King to kill him, but there was a traitor among us who sided with the Demon King.”

“betrayer?”

Looking at the captain’s face, which was quite surprised, I let out a deep sigh and started acting worried.

“……I should have known when those guys first became friendly with the demons, but I left them alone because I thought they didn’t need to massacre innocent civilians, and that was the cause of the trouble.”

The undead and Leona started to look at me as if they were surprised by my sudden acting, but I suppressed my impulsive actions and continued acting.

“Furthermore, both they and I had this technique of resurrecting the dead…….”

Kkuddukk.

As I opened my inventory in the air and revived the skeleton, the celestials started to murmur in an instant.

If this confusion is added, things won’t get any easier.

“Not only did this technique catch the Demon King’s eye, but they colluded with him to kill us, so we had no choice but to run away.”

clattering.

The captain muttered in a low voice as he looked at the collapsed skeleton.

“We want to help, but that doesn’t mean we can move rashly.”

Bang bang.

As the man slammed the spear he was holding onto the ground, the Celestial Soldiers flinched.

“We are the ones who will guard this border. If we evacuate our troops, who will guard our land when the demons invade?”

The celestial soldiers began to murmur again at those words.

I sighed and muttered towards that guy.

“Listen to what I have to say. Why do you think I came here to ask for your help instead of trying to fight it alone?”

As I moved my undead, the celestials flinched for a moment.

They know my strength because we’ve already fought once.

That’s why even the slightest movement would instantly draw attention, and the captain frowned at the sight.

“What is this?”

“With my forces, it won’t be hard to defeat someone like you. No, they won’t even be an opponent.”

If it were before the fight, the celestials would have laughed at him and asked what he was talking about, but since they had already fought once, they knew the reality and just quietly nodded.

The captain frowned at the sight, but what could he do about it?

“Even with this many troops, don’t you understand why I came here to cooperate with you instead of fighting against you guys?”

“……Are they that strong?”

“If it were just those guys, I could win, but the problem is that because of those guys, even the demons are all hostile to us.”

Originally, it was natural for the demons to be hostile towards us, given our position of having to kill the demon lord, but the problem is that even the demons, who originally shouldn’t have known about our existence, have learned of our player’s existence.

That’s why there was bound to be a hitch in the quest’s progress, and this was not a good thing for the Celestials.

“Even if we gather all the players, their limits are clear. Furthermore, the Demon King is with them, even though he was just born. You must know what that means.”

“Umm…….”

The leader of the Celestials frowns as if in trouble.

Of course, for them, the Demon King is someone they need to kill as quickly as possible, but if time drags on like this, they will become increasingly exhausted… … .

“I hope that if we continue like this, the day will come when the Demons will turn around and invade you again.”

A situation where the picture of the Demon Tribe invading the Celestial Tribe’s territory in the past may come out exactly as it is.

“Absolutely not.”

bang.

The leader of the Celestials, who seemed unable to control his anger and slammed his spear on the ground, finally came to his senses and looked at me and spoke.

“So… what do you want?”

“Simple, your goal is to protect your Celestial territory, and I just happen to want to find out what those guys are up to here.”

Originally, I was just going to drag the Demon King out like this, and let the Demons realize the truth by seeing the true nature of those whose plans went awry. But…

Since we’re already dealing with these guys, shouldn’t we use them too?

‘There must be a common enemy for two to join forces.’

Of course, the leader of the Celestials spoke with a suspicious tone, as if he would not easily fall for my thoughts.

“……If you want our soldiers, I’m sorry but I can’t give them to you. That’s out of my authority…….”

“I don’t think I’ve been compensated for the preemptive strike yet.”

What he was mistaken about was that I was the one in control of this conversation.

Since I have the authority, power, and information, all he can do is nod to what I say.

“I think this is an appropriate amount of compensation for a preemptive strike, don’t you think?”

It was just a matter of whether the time was a little bit shorter or longer.

“T, that kind of stubbornness……!”

Of course, that doesn’t mean you can get what you want just by suppressing it.

I decided to cut him some slack.

“Don’t think too badly of it. If you help me, I’ll help you take all the credit for defeating the Demon King.”

At those words, the stiff face of the bastard relaxed slightly.

If you think about it, it’s obvious that the reason they left the Demon King to us wasn’t simply because they couldn’t handle it, but because it just didn’t add up.

If it becomes known that the Demon King has joined hands with the players and that the problem was solved within the Celestials, the leadership will not remain silent.

Whether it’s to boost the morale of soldiers or the general public, or for propaganda, he’ll try to use it in any way he can, and if I get credit for it in the process, he’ll benefit a lot.

“……How can you believe that?”

“I, as a player, wouldn’t go to your king and ask for a reward for killing the Demon King. There’s no need for me to lie. If you don’t want to, then don’t.”

Even if we do that, the Celestial Soldiers’ gaze will turn to their captain instead of me.

Is it because I can’t handle all those stares, or is it because I’ve already weighed the options in my head?

“……good night.”

Eventually, the leader of the Celestials flapped his wings and accepted my terms.

“However, only the soldiers under my command will be dispatched. I cannot take other soldiers with me, so I hope you understand……”

“It doesn’t matter.”

My goal is always one.

If the Demon King was somehow dragged out, the true nature of the Bone Fortress would be revealed right before the Demon King’s eyes, and they would be made to reveal their true colors.

And, it was obvious that greedy people like them would reveal their greed not only to the demons but also to the celestials.

“Instead, if you’d like to join hands with me, I have a favor to ask.”

“What do you want?”

That’s why I decided to set a trap.

It would be nice if it caught, but even if it doesn’t, it’s a good trap in its own right.

***

Ga-ga-ga-gak.

The celestials stuck out their tongues as they watched the ground split apart as if torn paper.

“It’s a strange place no matter when I see it…….”

“Do the demons live in a place like this?”

Even though it looked as if he had never been here before, the leader of the Celestial Clan seemed to have no intention of stopping him.

However, with a look of anxiety on his face, he continued to ask me questions as if confirming something.

“Is this really the right way? No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem like it will work…….”

“If you were going to give up, wouldn’t you have given up a long time ago? Just look ahead.”

Of course, I suppressed those worries and immediately looked at the scenery ahead as soon as I arrived at my destination.

Although it is still a long way to the Demon King’s Castle, it is a rather desolate sight.

It was just a village sticking its tail out as if it was hidden in the forest, but that was actually a good thing.

“Do it.”

“……Fuck.”

As soon as I gave the order, the leader of the Celestials took a deep breath.

At that moment, I felt like I was taking a deep breath, as if my chest was puffing out.

-Listen!

As the scream spread out as if it was shaking the ground, the Celestial Soldiers and Leona nearby were startled and covered their ears.

Of course, I didn’t bring him here just to say that one word, there was a reason for everything.

– Demon King! We have received information that you have dared to bring in a foreigner with all your might! Do you dare to bring an outsider into our sacred war?

If you think about it, it was a contradictory statement since it was the Celestials who had the player kill the Demon King, but right now, truth and lies didn’t matter.

-Come out now and tell me what happened! Demon King!

The important thing is to bring out the Demon King.

Of course, the Demon King won’t appear from the beginning, and the Bone Fortress guys will probably be the first to react.

From their perspective, it would not be very pleasant for their existence to be discovered.

So, they would either try to silence them for now… … or, it was obvious that they would reveal their greed to the Celestials at this opportunity.

“……I shouted like you said, but do you think it really had any effect?”

Of course, the leader of the Celestials, who did not know the inside story, continued to doubt me.

Well, even if you’re not an idiot, you can tell that the Demon King won’t show up just by shouting like that.

“Do you think the operation can be completed in a day or two? Just wait a moment.”

Of course, if he didn’t want to see me go back right away and wreak havoc on their territory, he had no choice but to follow my words. So the Celestial Leader had no choice but to obediently listen to me.

‘… … moves.’

Fortunately, it only took a few minutes for a response to come from the village.

These guys, who seemed to be coming out of nowhere, quickly started to close the distance.

I hid my presence while looking at those guys.

“Huh, huh? Where did you go all of a sudden…….”

Before long, a group of men who appeared to be members of the Bone Fortress arrived in front of the leader of the Celestials, who was looking around as if trying to find me who had disappeared.

“Are you by any chance a soldier of the Celestials?”

The leader of the Celestials tried to answer politely, even though he was embarrassed, towards the guys who were introducing themselves politely.

“That, that’s right. You guys are the…….”

“It must be a fortress of bones.”

Kkwadduk!

Until they were torn apart in an instant by my undead.

Since the scam I had wasn’t anything special, I thought it wasn’t particularly strong, so I attacked it right away, but as expected.

They were so weak that they could be defeated in just one attack.

‘Is this why they placed such a bunch of random people here because it’s on the outskirts?’

As I was thinking that, the captain, not knowing what was going on, tried to ask me.

“What are you doing? This time it’s over there.”

I simply pointed to the mountain peak ahead this time.

It didn’t take long for the mouth of the Celestial Leader, who was about to say something like that, to close.
