CXXXIII.

“Ah… … !”

“Ahhh!”

A man and a man. The sight of a father and son groaning as if they had reached climax at the same time is not a particularly pleasing sight. No, it is a sight that will make your eyes rot. It is so pleasing to the eye that you want to buy the eyes that haven’t seen it.

but,

“Can you see it too?”

“Yes. I see it. And I hear it!”

The two rich men involved were trembling as if they were about to ejaculate at any moment.

And the rich man hugs her so passionately that it’s hard to believe they’re normally close. It’s so intense that anyone who sees it would definitely misunderstand.

“As expected! As expected! As expected! Our Lord was not wrong! This voice right now is proof of that! I must say that our family’s choice was indeed right!”

“Yes! Father!”

The self-proclaimed emperor and one of his sons, the prince.

Even if they are father and son, it is not common for a prince to call a king “father.”

Regardless of whether it is common or not, there are not many kings who would allow it.

Of course, since the king and the prince are also rich, if the relationship between the two fathers is good, just like a father loves his son very much, there are cases where the king gives special permission to call them that.

Moreover, the place where the two rich people are meeting now is the bedroom. However, the relationship between these two rich people cannot be said to be good even in empty words.

In the first place, it is common sense in Zipangu that the throne is not ‘inherited’ but ‘usurped’.

Of course, it is rare even on the continent, but it is not completely unheard of for a son to kill his father and take the throne. There was even a king who killed his father and ascended to the throne because he wanted to have his father’s concubine.

However, in the Jipangu, the perception is completely different. For them, usurpation is common sense. Rather, when the throne is inherited, the new king is considered weak and his subordinates plan to hit him in the back of the head.

So naturally, the king is now somewhat wary of his three sons, especially the one in front of him.

So why does this greedy king, who made himself call himself ‘Emperor’, tolerate the prince calling himself father?

‘Because he’s crazy.’

The reason is that the three princes are ardent followers of the Demon King. No, the expression follower is not enough; they are crazy people.

As is typical of fanatics, the third son, Pung, was usually very quiet.

I enjoy reading and reflecting on the scriptures and spend most of my time in devout prayer.

But when it comes to things related to the Demon King, people change. Their eyes change. When it comes to things related to the Demon King, there are two ways to deal with it.

Your eyes can either sparkle like a child receiving a birthday present, or they can glow like a crazy person’s eyes, emitting an eerie red light.

The dynamic relationship in the mind of the three princes begins there.

At the very top is the Demon King.

Below that, there are those who serve the Demon King wholeheartedly, like priests, namely, the Wind himself.

And underneath that it’s all ‘etc.’

King? Emperor?

That kind of thing is not of any interest to him at all. What do emperors and kings mean to God?

The reason why he treats the king with respect and treats him like a father is not because he is his biological father, but because the king also believes in and follows the demon king. If not, he might have been called ‘you’ or ‘you’.

The king, who had been thinking about various things while looking at his son who was looking at him with sparkling eyes, came to his senses first. Then, he recalled the conversation he had with his son before hearing the voice from heaven.

“But, Wind. Are you saying that you have already heard the Lord’s voice 11 times?”

“Yes… … . Gloriously.”

The King of Zipangu, who serves the same Demon King as his father, looks at his son with a disgusted expression as he blushes and bows his head shyly, as if he were a girl recalling her first love, and trails off in his words, resembling the Third Prince.

And soon he notices that the hairs on his arms are standing on end, so he slowly sweeps them away without his son noticing.

In order not to let his son know that he was scared, he pretended to be calm, no, his face hardened and his mouth shut.

“How… . Our family has served the Lord for 16 generations already. In all that time, we have never heard the Lord’s voice more than three times before one of our descendants became king. How could you… !”

“I am so grateful.”

“This can’t be happening. This has never happened before… !!”

It stings.

The moment the king speaks of suspecting the demon king, Prince Feng glares at his father with murderous eyes.

“Do you dare to doubt the Lord’s actions now?”

“… … I made a slip of the tongue.”

The king also has a higher status.

The realm of Wuwei is higher for the king. No, I believe it will be higher.

The king, who has the upper hand in the blood relationship between father and son, apologizes to his son, the prince, and even bows his head.

“We should not dare to guess the will of the Lord. We should simply serve and follow with all our heart.”

The red light emanating from the body of the Third Prince, who speaks as if he is lecturing, is eerie and strange, as if it is trying to devour one’s soul.

Fanatics are not scary for nothing. However, the king is not afraid of Prince Pung simply because he is a fanatic.

If you don’t like it, you can just kill him. Even if he’s your son, it’s something that can easily happen in the island nation of Zipangu.

But this is the reason why it cannot be done, and the reason why the current king’s family can continue to be the kings of Zipangu, unlike the previous kings.

This is because the source of that power comes from the Demon King whom they now call the Lord and revere.

The longer you listen to the Demon King’s voice, the more often you come into contact with it, the stronger it becomes.

The force becomes stronger. Muscles develop, bones become stronger, and the flow of divine power improves. Potential also increases, and so the family’s martial arts are learned more quickly.

But what was scarier and more fearful than those things was the red aura that was swirling around Prince Feng right now.

Not only ordinary people, but also anyone from the continent would be reluctant to face him, and the sincere murderous intent seeps into those who face the Demon King like a halo. And the more times this happens, the more vivid it becomes.

In the history of the royal family of Zipangu, the first king to serve the Demon King is the one who has met the Demon King the most times, and it is recorded that he heard the Demon King’s voice 12 times in his lifetime.

Forever. Forever.

‘But that guy’s not even thirty yet, and he’s already done it 11 times?’

That doesn’t mean that his third son is interested in the throne. He follows the Demon King like a fervent monk or fanatic, and tries to hear the Demon King’s voice at least once more.

The one who has no interest in the throne is the one who is receiving the blessing of the Demon King who is most closely related to the throne. The blessing of the Demon King who gives the power to make even the most extraordinary people kneel just by looking at him.

Just looking at that vivid red aura that surrounds Prince Feng, that aura that sends goosebumps down his body as a king, one can guess how great a blessing he has received.

“Me, me! Didn’t I say I knew!”

It would be unfair for a father to say such words to his son, who is only a Sword Master, when he himself has become a Grand Master and is afraid of him.

He answered nervously, gritting his teeth, but the king’s head was spinning furiously. In order to achieve the best possible result.

“Preaching later. The Lord’s commands first.”

“That’s right.”

“Go out quickly to greet the arrivals.”

“Yes.”

The Emperor and the Prince.

The son of the emperor should be a prince, and the father of a prince should be a king, but the rich man who used this inappropriate title hurriedly left the palace.

What they encountered as they left the palace were a dozen or so beings standing arrogantly in a city that could be called the capital.

Beings that are not human, or cannot even be considered human.

The fact that a dozen or so beings are standing proudly means that many citizens of the capital city who should naturally be around them are all lowering their heads.

Did those ignorant things do something on purpose?

no.

They are crouching because they can’t stand. Would it be more accurate to say they are lying down?

Yes, that’s right.

Around where the dozen or so beings stood, not a single human, livestock, grass root or tree was alive, but everything was dead.

A corpse with its head cut off, a corpse that was rotten as if it was sick, a corpse of a man and a woman who died in intercourse, a corpse with its face crushed, etc.

The beings standing in the midst of various gruesome corpses had appearances that could not be described as human or any other life form on the continent.

“Welcome.”

A man who calls himself the Emperor kneels on the rough dirt floor and bows his head.

– Hurry up.

What do you mean hurry?

However, neither the person who actually received the order nor the being who gave the order specifically says what it is.

Nevertheless, the two rich men move quickly.

And about two days later, exactly five days after Gray had been locked in the training grounds and started training.

Twelve upper ships departing from Zipangu arrive at each of the four maritime kingdoms, three at a time.

This was the starting point of the chaos and Gray’s suffering on the continent caused by the lower-level demons.

◈ ◈ ◈

Intermediate Demon Race Twenty One.

The number of intermediate-level demons discovered and captured by the superhumans is only eleven. Including the two I dealt with, there are a total of thirteen.

The rest have disappeared. In fact, that is inevitable.

This is the point where more than half of the intermediate-level demons have lost contact. Furthermore, the sight of superhumans capturing demons is so noisy that it is hard not to notice.

For example, the superhuman named Mu-Gwang (武狂) came after defeating mid-level demons just as I said.

The place where he discovered the intermediate-level demons was the territory west of the Alfonso Empire.

From there, he continued to punch the mid-level demons while keeping them suspended in the air at a certain height until he reached Evergreen.

It wasn’t just the demons who found out, it was everyone.

That a great strong man has appeared and is capturing the demons.

The demons have no choice but to hide. Of course, that doesn’t mean they don’t feel sorry.

“Hmm… … .”

As I was looking at the death number on the back of the Death Card, which had increased from 2 to 15 after killing thirteen Demons, I was wondering when to attack with the staff.

The superhuman Divine Bow visited us.

“Gray. The thing you promised before. By any chance… . Can I ask if it’s possible now?”

“That thing we promised before? That is…? Oh! You mean visiting that unmanned cradle?”

“Yes.”

We had a conversation before about a superhuman who ‘could not come out’ of the cradle of the unmanned in the rare of the two horns. The name is,

“Did you say you were Muheo (無虛)?”

“Yes.”

“Um… … . Let’s go. Oh, will it take a long time?”

“No. I know that conversations with Muheo (無虛) usually last at most an hour.”

“Yes. Let’s go now.”
