The Hero Disciple Is Back - Chapter 79



78. The Demon King Laughed Cheerfully

“You have overdone it, my lord.”

Escenderos, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the ‘Overlord’

As always, he knelt on one knee, clad in armor tinged with darkness, offering advice to his lord.

While not yet completely freed from the seal, he was forced to cross over to the human world and became weakened.

It was a reckless fight.

It was possible to recover through super regeneration, but…

Because of that group, there was no way that the Demon King’s vessel would not have problems.

In the end, it was the Demon King who had to find stability.

“Hehe. But it meant something. It was really fun. Hehe.”

The Demon King laughed as if he was genuinely happy. It was a genuine laughter from the Demon King that even Escenderos, who had been by his side for a long time, had never seen.

“If that’s the case, then that’s good.”

“The nagging is short today.”

“I always offer advice as your lord’s knight.”

“That’s what you call nagging.”

The Demon King snickered. His knight was always like that. A person who became his sword more than anyone else and made him stand taller than anyone else in the Demon King’s army with his will and determination.

If he hadn’t been confident, the position of Demon King would have passed to him. He knew that better than anyone else… However, he abandoned the path of hegemony that he could walk and chose loyalty.

That is why he gave the nickname of Overlord to his knight, whom he felt sorry for but was grateful for. It seemed quite malicious to give the nickname of Overlord to a loyal subject who had lost the Way of Hegemony because of him… But since the Demon King himself gave him the name of Overlord, it meant that he trusted his subject, so he thought it was not a bad thing.

‘… Or maybe this guy just wanted me to draw my sword so he could walk the path of destruction. That would be quite enjoyable too.’

But this foolishly honest knight of his never turned his back on him in any round. He always raised his sword and did his best to prove his loyalty to him. He was truly an unbecoming man. Of course, this was only true for himself. He was also a demon, and when it came to staining his sword with blood, he was the cruelest and most brutal slaughterer of all, his knight Escenderos.

“Knight of the Jim”

“Yes, my heavens.”

“Isn’t there anything that can make you feel happy?”

“The joy of heaven is a joy to me too.”

“What a boring answer you’ve given. You should know that Jim wouldn’t like such an answer.”

“But this is my pure sincerity.”

“For a Demon to talk about ‘purity’ or ‘sincerity’? I always say this, but you’re really not a guy who fits in with the Demon.”

“If there are any shortcomings, I will try my best to fill them.”

“You’re wrong. You’ve been talking to me for so long, but it hasn’t changed at all, so you’re just wrong. Just accept it as fate.”

“If that is the will of heaven….”

Seriously… .

The Demon King couldn’t help but shake his head, saying that he was a guy who was far from cheerful.

“Maybe… I haven’t met you yet.”

The Demon King cannot forget.

The sight of a warrior who died before he could do anything to himself… .

I should have been happy.

It was something to be happy about.

Clapping hands

There should have been cheering.

The death of a human with such potential must have been happiness itself to the Demon King, for his destined adversary, his absolute enemy, to have died so easily.

It had to be that way.

But the Demon King couldn’t be happy at all.

Should I say that it was as if someone had just stolen the toy that I had been waiting for so desperately and broken it right in front of me? No, that wasn’t enough. The feeling of seeing someone else kill the enemy that I had sworn to kill just by chance and by accident? It would have felt better if the person had killed him to vent his anger and hatred like me… . It was so uncomfortable because some ignorant guy had killed him just by a momentary mistake… . It was such a dirty feeling, like I had lost even though I had won… . It was a very strange sensation that the Demon King had never felt before.

It was natural.

He is the devil.

The moment he appeared, all living beings with will united to oppose him and seal him. It was only natural that all living beings would desperately oppose him and use every means and method they could to defeat him. That was why he could not help but feel it once.

It’s so vain

So meaningless

So useless

Such a fleeting and vain triviality.

That’s why I gave it a chance.

Because I wondered whether the warrior could ever escape from that fleeting pettiness.

Gave me a chance.

Gave me a chance.

From noble mtl dot com

Gave me a chance.

Gave me a chance.

Gave me a chance.

He kept giving me chances.

At some point it started to get fun.

It was more interesting and enjoyable than I thought to watch that insignificant warrior grow a little more, stronger, and reach a higher level each time he regressed.

That’s why the Demon King was happy.

The warrior who was so insignificant and insignificant

Because he has already grown enough to influence his own vessel.

perhaps….

This might be the last time.

‘I might finally be able to have a satisfying battle. No, I’ll show it this time.’

I was convinced through this battle. This time it was definitely different. I had proven to myself that there was a possibility of showing a different ending than before. Therefore, the Demon King was looking forward to this episode with a cheerful heart.

There may not be a next time.

I think so

The Demon King’s gaze naturally turned to Escenderos.

His articles lacked humor

It’s so overly rigid that it’s literally chronic.

This guy needs nonsense.

At that moment, the Demon King thought of a certain human.

It’s far from the strongest.

But it was close to being brilliant.

Its splendor is….

okay….

It was not inferior to the brilliance of the gods.

I could be certain because he was a demon king who was born from the gods and destroyed them himself.

Its brilliance is extraordinary.

‘It’s definitely special, but… I’m not really attracted to it.’

Is it because I’ve dealt with too many gods?

Or is it because the object that can bring you pleasure has already been met?

The important thing is….

It was a very important point to make that just because something feels special to you doesn’t mean it isn’t special.

“Escenderos.”

“Yes, my heavens.”

“Do you want to go to the human world?”

“If that is your command.”

In other words, he said that he didn’t really want to go, but that he would go if ordered to do so.

Seriously.

The Demon King couldn’t help but shake his head with a bitter smile, saying that he was a guy who was far from cheerful.

He may think that it doesn’t matter, but… . From his perspective of always having to look at that stuffy face, the Demon King couldn’t help but think that he couldn’t just leave it like that. Stuffiness and suffocation were relative emotions that could only be felt more by those around him.

“Yes, it’s Jim’s order. Go to the human world and fight some humans.”

“Is it okay to kill him?”

“Hmm. Just try to deal with it.”

“Does that mean I shouldn’t kill you?”

“I don’t think the situation will become any more pleasant if I kill him.”

From the beginning, this fight was not a fight for victory since long ago. If it had been a fight for victory, there would have been no need to repeat regression for so long.

Bring back the warrior.

From the moment I chose that option, this fight became no longer a fight to be won.

If so, then you should enjoy it.

It is a law that enjoying something is always a profitable business.

“Killing is like taking away a toy. Ending is like taking away a new way of playing. So don’t kill it. You never know what kind of pleasure it might bring you next.”

“If it be the will of heaven.”

As expected

His own article received a dull response.

Still, the Demon King decided to give it a try.

If you have high expectations, you may end up disappointed, but if you don’t have high expectations, you will never be able to achieve the benefit of pleasure.

So it’s important to have expectations.

Look at yourself.

Haven’t you finally achieved happiness?

The Demon King thought of two beings.

Warrior Sarah

And the white dragon Rhea, who was once his Four Heavenly Kings but is now his natural enemy.

Look.

As I continued to have expectations

Didn’t something fun like this happen?

The Demon King truly thought that it was truly delightful.

“Hahahahahaha.”

The Demon King laughed cheerfully.
