by fnovelpia“How serious is the situation?”
“The northern warlord has deployed all of his forces in the direction of the angel garrison. It’s so bad that we have to mobilize all the troops that were planning to advance this way.”
“That’s about it… … .”
“A legion will come down to the demon world.”
War is closer than we thought. It was assumed that Heaven would respond immediately after the Demon King crossed over to the human world, but it was faster and more drastic than expected.
“Is the Archangel descending?”
“Because the Demon King has crossed over to the human world, from the angels’ perspective, now is a golden opportunity to sort out the Demon World.”
“I hope I let my guard down and take the upper hand.”
“That would be great, but we don’t have enough troops to deploy deception tactics right now. If we lead all the way to the Royal Guard, we’ll be able to match the numbers… However, because the quality level is different, the damage will be significant.”
“This is the worst move that can be made at this point when the center is trying to expand its influence. If we fight, we must mobilize troops from other continents to minimize losses.”
“If you ask for salvation, it will come from the East. However, there is a difference between killing only the center or killing the eastern part as well.”
“One way or another, there is only death. Is it not possible to appoint another high-ranking demon as king and have him confront the archangel?”
“There are no talented people who show potential. You need to raise Durin, but you don’t have time. Even if you defend yourself, you will ultimately be in charge of the main force.”
Ludmilla frowned and said. He seemed unable to hide his worries.
“I’ll be honest and say this. I have only you. The young nobles of the castle are supporting us as we cleanly suppress this rebellion. If you want it, it seems like you have the highest chance of being honored… .”
“Less authenticity. Ludmilla.”
Durin cut it off with a single sword.
He was a warrior who was born at the bottom of the labyrinth and started as a gladiator. Becoming the second-highest-ranking castle through sheer force alone could be said to be a legendary story, but that was all that mattered.
“The story changes when we move on to the Demon Lord who rules the Demon World. We must select a noble person who can enjoy the power and authority of the king according to the law. ‘The noble one.’ After hearing these words, will high-ranking nobles support me, a former gladiator?”
“There will inevitably be differences of opinion in the Senate. Among old nobles, many still follow bloodlineism.”
Good blood breeds good devils.
The driving force behind the demon king’s lineage from 1,000 years ago was able to continue to inherit the throne, and the culprit that created the current situation.
Durin knew that well, so he had no choice but to shake his head.
“Of course, I could take the throne if I wanted to. But the castle will be divided. There is a growing possibility that the chaos will not end in a rebellion, but will lead to the emergence of a claimant to the throne. That is unacceptable in a situation where an angel is waiting.”
“Can we survive? Until we find a new king?”
“I will endure. For the sake of the Demon World, I will mobilize all my resources.”
The devil’s greed for power.
The only way to appease one’s instincts and at the same time fulfill one’s duty of protection.
“That’s why I remain regent.”
“… … .”
“So don’t worry and just wait. I will go to the center soon.”

Ludmilla’s warning spurred Durin’s actions.
The regent gathered all the southern warriors who could become the seeds of conflict while the judges and shamans dispatched from the castle expanded the central influence. Among them, those who were useful were incorporated into the legion in Lactelune and then sent to the center.
“Come back stronger! My friends!”
Although the cost of the warp was high, they offered tribute as it was an opportunity for success by appointing the successors of a large tribe as commanders.
In their minds, the South will increasingly be engraved into a land dominated by sex. Even though it was a bit extreme, I saw the effects of forcibly engraving demonic energy into my body. He efficiently shortened the time needed for conquest.
This soon rewrote history as the legion conquered a continent and returned within a week of going out on expedition.
“As of today, the expedition is over. Let the generals under your command organize their respective duties and quickly return to the center. Once preparations for withdrawal are completed, we will immediately prepare for the next war.”
There was no time for them to rest. The king’s demonic energy has been completely erased from this land. Every devil will feel uneasy, and every angel will see his opportunity. In times like these, the central corps had to show its steadfastness. If they held on tightly to the forces around them, the demons still had enough power left to fight against Heaven.
Durin’s mind became filled with the war against Heaven. And around that time, Aurela came to him to say her final goodbyes.
“You had a hard time.”
“No. dismissal. It was an honor to be able to serve such a great person.”
As governor of Lactelun, she became ruler of the south. The devil-like red horn in the center symbolized her authority.
“Aurella. The task given to you is enormous.”
“I will do my best to carry out your orders.”
“If the South comes back to life, I will use you very carefully.”
Durin placed his hand on Aurela’s shoulder. flinch! Aurela, startled, bowed in despair. A lot of adoration that she couldn’t bring herself to say out loud stayed on her lips. Durin spoke to the frozen governor.
“Our enemy is always in the sky. Hypocrites who alone occupy the glory of previous times.”
“… You are talking about an angel.”
“The time is coming.”
Aurela raised her head. Under the black sun, a demon was clenching his fists, scattering dark magical energy.
“The angels who took our heaven are now sharpening their swords to erase our existence.”
“We will never lose. Your Excellency.”
“Sacred power is a powerful force that we demons cannot dare to oppose. It may melt the moment it touches you. Aren’t you afraid?”
“If I can be with you, I will go forward, even if it is in front of the Archangel.”
I will give you the opportunity to participate in a glorious battle against angels. Aurela’s voice spread among the numerous nobles who came to see Durin off.
“We will advance to a glorious battlefield. We are southern warriors.”
Stand shoulder to shoulder with the strong.
It was the life goal that all demons had from birth.
The souls that rose from the land of struggle began to pound their blue hearts. A new throne was built over the traces of the Rock Mother’s disappearance. The heat that Aurela spread was contagious to others.
Verdia came out to encourage them. I shouted as Durin’s right hand man.
“Durin! My master!”
Verdia’s dock led the nobles. The warriors and nobles advancing to the center shouted in unison.
“We will be together! Please take a chance!”
“Conqueror of the South! Ruler of the red horns! Our regent!”
Hundreds of nobles knelt down in unison. They raised their hands in supplication. Those who had lost everything in the midst of war yearned for new glory. A new ruler was accepted in place of the Rock Mother.
The glory and honor that can be drawn based on laws and decrees.
“… … .”
At that moment, the eyes of the Golden Guard guarding Durin turned to sight.
Nostalgia from long ago. This scene is where the authority born from the power of the conqueror overwhelms the crowd.
“I will wait. There will be a day when we will be together soon.”
One day hundreds of years ago. Memories of being with the young demon king briefly appeared in their minds.

“Isn’t it amazing?”
The heat also spread to the rock shrine located within Lactelun Castle. It was so secret and deep that I could only feel the flow of the world, but the pulse that Durin made was so powerful.
It’s not just a devil. He was one of the few beings who could interfere with the fate of the world.
“You’re lucky. It’s a blessed life to be able to see this flow.”
“Thanks to this, there is an increased possibility that many of my colleagues will die and our human world will be devastated.”
dark space. In it, a dwarf wearing a black hood grumbled at the witch of prophecy. Turan, who had lost his fear after going to the brink of death, was now able to talk as he pleased with any being he met. Compared to Elijah, who couldn’t even open his mouth due to the witch’s spirit, he seemed free.
“Shaman gentleman! What kind of power can you wield?”
“We have a special destiny that gives us a glimpse into the future and destiny of those living in the world.”
“Then did Durin send us here to show us our fate?”
“Half is right and half is wrong. The fate that will be told here is not yours.”
The witch said with a smile. It contained goodness and charm that was not devillike. But Elijah could feel it. In her small body, a magical energy greater than that of Durin lay dormant. Among the demons I had ever seen, it was so powerful that it was comparable to the Demon King.
The elf fell into doubt here too.
Why did Durin save the hero?
Why did he take good care of the survivors and send them here?
What does the devil who introduced herself as the witch of prophecy plan to do?
“You have a lot of questions. Young elf.”
A witch suddenly approached and whispered to Elijah. Sweet and sticky. Before I knew it, I got goosebumps and stepped back, screaming.
“You’re cute. It’s been a while since I’ve been in this world, so I can’t help but be curious in the face of all the trials. That is natural providence.”
The witch’s voice lingered. The dwarf Turan was also displeased and raised Elijah up to take care of him.
“It would be better to speak without interrupting! What is the purpose?”
“A way to regain the strength of a warrior. And a place where you can revive your dead colleagues.”
There is silence for a moment. The two stopped moving and looked up at the witch floating in the air.
The witch of prophecy, with blue magic energy as her halo, spoke with a still beautiful smile.
“Durin has given you a new destiny. As I said, he is someone who can shake up the flow of the world.”
“New destiny?”
“If you can do it, you too can enter a happy path.”
“How can you believe what the devil says? No matter how you look at him, he has the potential to become the devil king.”
“Demon King?”
The witch of prophecy was the first to ask back. His expression was as if he had heard something interesting.
She did not answer the dwarf’s question. Instead, he laughed.
“He is not a devil who can barely stay in a bowl for that long. A great key that will not be limited to the demon world, heaven, or human world.”
The witch raised her head and looked into the distance. Probably the sky somewhere, the starlight hidden behind the sun.
“Durin’s place is waiting for him in a greater position than the Demon King.”
“… I can’t understand at all.”
“It’s okay. If you follow the flow, you will find out someday. For now, all you have to do is follow along.”
The witch stepped on the ground. She stood up and held out her hand to the surviving party members.
“Saving heroes and party members.”
“… … .”
“Isn’t this good for you too?”
Next to Turan, who was speechless, Elijah was able to see the witch up close.
After encountering the World Tree, she was able to accept the existence of others more easily. The balance was swinging from side to side inside the body of a beautiful woman. As Elijah, who had little knowledge, he could not understand what that meant. However, it was clear that the witch’s proposal was on one side.
“I have to survive. I want to save the hero.”
Elijah muttered unconsciously. These words came from an unknown attraction. When Turan looked at her in surprise, the situation was already over. The witch gave Elijah a bright smile.
“I thought you would answer that way.”
At the same time, something escaped. Elijah was embarrassed and took his eyes off the scale for a moment. I examined the body, but there was nothing wrong.
All that remained was a throbbing scar.
but.
“Elijah?”
When she looked again, the balance that had completely stopped inside the witch’s body caught her attention.
The elf could not answer the dwarf’s question.
