Chapter 34: Sequence War (1)
"Let's go back to the castle."
Huh. I need to make some plans for what to do next."
The remaining period is 4 years.
In a way, it could be said that he was lucky to have passed to the Demon Realm.
It was thanks to Ricky's ability to solve problems on the ground well, but it took a long time anyway.
'If it's not enough, you can have a little more.'
It's only a day on earth.
There was still a sense of separation, but that was a good thing.
And, I didn't think it was going to be enough.
He knew himself better than anyone else, and he knew the state of his previous life.
It would be nice if I could restore the state of my previous life within 4 years.
'In order to reach the state of the previous life in the first place, it does not mean cutting down on time.'
Although there was no specific division of the state, the self in the previous life was no longer bound by the class.
To the extent that using magic and breathing are the same thing.
The will was soon manifested as magic.
It is not a state that can be reached simply by transcending the 9th class.
When all the circumstances are right, I will become aware of it without realizing it.
'So now the goal is to transcend the 9th class.'
Jamie was able to master the 9th class as well due to the battle with the frontier's join clan executive Hawks, but she did not completely conquer the 9th class.
I will completely conquer class 9 within a year, and I will somehow achieve transcendence in the remaining period.
swordsmanship too.
'I'm still not good enough.'
Jamie grabbed Barrisada tightly.
Vincent was definitely a sword genius.
Even though he wasn't a Grandmaster, he had the skills to threaten Jamie.
If a little more time had passed, he might have become a Grand Master as if he had reached the 9th class.
It would have been easier if I had killed him... .
'Jenice, that bastard took him.'
Zenith, who was in the state of Advent, took Vincent's body and exited the infinite battlefield.
In a situation where it would have been better to throw it away, the reason that he carried his body, which was nothing more than a corpse, was probably because he was planning to use it again.
If he hasn't died yet, the next time we meet, he'll be a very dangerous enemy, and even if only the shell is left, Zenith will do his best to throw it in front of him.
One way or another, Vincent's talent was one of the few that Jamie had ever seen.
'Chok Jun-kyung, Diomedes, father Comparing with them is not enough.'
Perhaps as far as the sword, he may have had more talent than the three of them.
Indeed, as Kreon said, he may be the one who is loved by the sword.
'Honestly, I have no confidence to surpass him with a sword.'
Four years have passed, but the sword is not so green.
Being a sword master at this age by inheriting Welton's blood is certainly a great thing, but aside from his talent, there were a lot of reasons behind it.
So, I didn't think it was entirely my ability.
So, I plan to digest all the things I've been caught up to over the past four years as my own.
'I must be very busy.'
I plan to spend 4 years very tightly.
to rebel against God.

"Himera."
A man with bright red skin and gray hair like thorns called Himera.
He was wearing a uniform that would be worn by a high-ranking official because he was of high rank, but Himera looked at him and bowed his head briefly.
"Are you here, Count Beiros?"
One of the few high-ranking aristocrats who were granted territories in the territory ruled by the demon king of lust.
It was the Demon Dragon Beiros.
He was the demon nobleman who infiltrated the magical realm five years ago and put Jamie in danger.
Beiros stood next to Himera and asked him.
"Where did that man go?"
Himera couldn't resist the question of Beiros, who was ranked 6th in the order of the Demon King of Lust.
Because it is a world of strong self-esteem.
Himera politely pointed out Jamie's source.
"You are currently with the Demon King."
I see.
"By the way, that person. I heard that you had an affair with the Count the other day."
The story of Beiros ascending to the ground at the command of the Demon King of lust and returning with quite a lot of wounds was quite famous.
As a demon dragon, he had to suffer for several days, so rumors could not have spread.
"It was the price of carelessness."
The skill difference was obvious.
However, what I thought was an ant was quite a wild dog.
Just as humans suffer quite a bit when they get bitten by a dog, I thought that Beiros was similar.
'If we get back together, I can pay off all the humiliation of that day.'
The problem is that the demon lord of lust he serves loves that person very much.
After that day, the Demon King's attitude suddenly changed, so I wondered why.
It was because of that person.
There have been times when I asked why he was so cheap.
However, the demon lord he was serving did not say anything.
It's been such a long time, and now the human has appeared here.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to fight that person?"
Himera provoked Beiros with a voice that was quietly whispering.
Looking at his expression, he had a face as if he had found a pretty interesting toy.
This cheeky dreamer sometimes forgets his subject, and often goes against the intentions of higher-ranking people.
Beiros opened his long eyes and warned him.
"Don't be presumptuous, Himera."
Himera opened her eyes wide and bowed her head hurriedly.
"Excuse me."
huh.
Beiros crossed his arms and walked to the window.
In the distance, I saw the demon king of lust and a cheeky human being returned together.
My heart was complicated.
I want to repay the humiliation of that day, but since the Demon Lord is a cherished human being, I can't just act according to my instincts.
Even if there was a cause, I don't know if it was a cause, but I wasn't the Demon Lord who couldn't notice it even if I forcibly created it.
"You want to fight, too."
Then, Himera spoke nonsense again.
Annoyed Beiros tried to blow him away, but he had no choice but to stop at Himera's words.
"I have a way."
"To you?"
Yes. It is a method that even the Count knows."
"How do I know?"
Beiros furrowed his eyebrows in thought when he said he knew, then frowned to see if he remembered something, and looked at Himera.
"Do you think that will happen?"
"From what I heard, humans intended to leave the Demon Realm today. However, seeing him come back without leaving, I get a rough feeling."
"What?"
"It is a necessity to be strong here. If so, isn't that a good enough way to do it?
Hmm ."
"What are you worried about? You must repay the humiliation of that day."
Despite the warning, this cheeky dreamer gently scratched his pride as he secretly teased himself.
But I didn't hate it.
Although there were many times when he was cocky, it was because he often said helpful words.
"That's right."
He never forgot the humiliation of being abused by the weak, so for decades he focused only on becoming stronger.
Thanks to this, he, who was 7th in rank, killed the other count, who was then 6th, and took his place.
This time it's the other way around.
"If you bet on my rank, even the Demon Lord won't be able to refuse you."
sequence before.
Through it, I will tear and kill a human being.
That is the law of the Demon Realm, the strong self-esteem.
* * *
"I feel like I'm about to sneeze."
"You can't catch a cold or anything like that."
So. Who is talking to me?"
Jamie's nose was tickled on the way back to Trikawa Castle.
"Looks like something got into your nose."
He rubbed his nose roughly and landed in front of the entrance to the Demon King's Castle.
However, the atmosphere was somewhat chaotic.
Even though the Demon King had arrived, instead of coming out to meet him, he heard a murmur from within.
When Jamie saw Trika, he raised his hand and raised Magi.
thud!!
Then the Demon King's castle shook violently, and then the demons who realized that the tri-car had arrived, rushed out.
"Did the Demon Lord come?"
It was like a local market.
It was funny to discuss the basics of human class hierarchy in the Demon World, but to greet the king with an unorganized movement.
If Trika's temper had been a little bad, it would have been annihilated.
However, Trika was on the gentle side for a Demon King.
"What's the matter?"
At the king's question, a demon with a head like an octopus and a beard with slippery tentacles on his chin spoke.
That is Count Beiros is waiting for him."
"Why Beiros?"
"Wait, you said you wanted to do a rank-and-file battle."
"Sequence battle?"
Trika frowned at the somewhat absurd word of a rank-and-file battle.
"How are you going to wage a rank-and-file battle with people who aren't even demons?"
"Who is Beiros?"
Jamie, who was listening next to him, realized that he was talking about himself and asked who the demons wanted to fight with him.
Trika said with a slightly troubled face.
"It's the demon dragon that you met directly."
"A dragon? Oh, that guy."
Jamie snapped a finger as if he remembered.
The Demon Dragon, who was Trika's henchman, who tried to ruin the magic world five years ago.
The guy who introduced himself as the Earl was at a level that at that time, he couldn't even deal with Jamie's power.
If Beiros had not been vigilant, the entire magical world, including himself, would have suffered horribly.
"Did he say that he wanted to do a rank-and-file battle with me?"
uh ."
The demon with a head like a cephalopod acted as if he didn't know how to react.
"Why answer ."
Jamie got a little frustrated and tried to ask a question, but when she realized the atmosphere around her was getting weird, she shut her mouth.
No one was talking, but he was looking at himself and Trika alternately with strange eyes.
Only then did Jamie realize his mistake.
'You treated Trika so comfortably in front of demons.'
On the other hand, Trika used a high degree of self-esteem.
For mere humans.
"Trica. Be comfortable with me."
" all right.
Trika, who felt a sense of incongruity, shook her head.
No matter how master-slave relationship, Trika was the demon king of lust that governed the surrounding area.
When you show an attitude that you shouldn't bend to anyone, your subordinates will follow you.
Especially when it comes to demons.
Jamie couldn't say he knew all the habits of the demons, but he did understand it to some extent.
"The Demon King."
When Jamie changed her name, the demons who were watching looked at her with eyes wondering what was going on.
As if to respond to that, Trika also coughed once before answering.
okay. to speak."
It was such a quick change of posture that I thought that everything I had just heard was hallucinations.
The demons still seemed confused, but their faces seemed a little more relaxed, as they thought that the misaligned gears were working properly.
'I can't recognize the face.'
To be honest, I don't know if my face has become more comfortable because they all have different appearances.
In any case, Jamie had no intention of leaving out the rank-and-file battle.
Anyway, I was planning to pay him back one day, but I was rather fortunate to have this opportunity.
"Please attach a rank order with Count Beiros. I'm not human, but I think I'll stay here for a while... Wouldn't it be nice if there was a certain rank?"
"Are you serious? Count Beiros is very strong."
Beiros, known for his magical powers, was a stronghold in the demon realm, whose title of marquise would be confirmed if he raised one more rank.
The only high-ranking demons that could be said to be stronger than him in the Sorrow Corps were Duke Katos and Marquis Lillian, who were in the 2nd and 3rd positions, respectively.
The 4th and 5th places, Marquis of Gelum and Marquis of Iodes, were not significantly different from Beiros.
Although Jamie had become much stronger than it was five years ago, it was premature to confront the demons with the status of a marquise.
Fine. Rather, it is better to be strong. That will be training."
Magic training, sword training.
all good
However, doing it alone has its limits.
I was thinking about how to do this, and I thought it worked out very well.
'There is nothing that makes me stronger than a battle for life.'
There's no saying that once you've played life and death for nothing, your skills will skyrocket.
Jamie thought so and looked up at the castle.
There, someone was watching him.
It was a face I hadn't seen in a very long time.
"It's been a while, Beiros."
"Ah, you didn't die, you lived well."
Beiros, who jumped from a fairly high distance at once, said with a smile.
"Thank you for accepting my 'challenge'."
"Thank you. Thank you for handing over your rank."
"You don't need a hierarchy for raw meat, do you?"
"Then you can just hand over the ranks to me, raw meat."
A fierce battle was already going on between the two.
