“But didn’t Oka-san win at that time?”

“It was thanks to Faust and Crowley who have matched my rhythm well. No, that’s not important. It doesn’t matter what it means that Ha Leeha hasn’t been seen for days. You didn’t talk about it anywhere else, did you?”

“Yes. I put them all near the places he frequents, but... there were no special movements. Considering that the Musket Academy NPC in Fibiel still remains the same, it seems they are not moving together.”

“He is probably the main NPC related to Bluebeard.... Seeing that they are not moving, is there no search operation? I thought the Pope would give an order as soon as the peace treaty was signed.”

She was indeed the representative of the User Intelligence Guild.

The idea of grasping the flow of the entire quest related to the subjugation of the Demon King’s army through Browless’ movement was not something anyone could come up with.

‘Even if he moves, he should have moved earlier. The reason why I raided Leeha’s Gaza City was because I expected that the moment after the conclusion of the peace treaty was the only opportunity. Why is the Pope so quiet? And where is Ha Leeha?’

A strange feeling of uneasiness ran through Chiyou’s entire body.

“I must go and see Faust. On which hideout is he?”

“He’s on the 27th hideout, near the Land of the Dead.”

“Alright, Sasuke, focus on finding Ha Leeha for the time being. Keep an eye out for a major search operation in Minis or Fibiel. In particular, you must check whether official letters are distributed in the name of the Pope.”

“I understand. Oka-san.”

The strategy to read each other’s plans and catch up with them continued.

However, Leeha was a step faster this time. It was because Leeha had already experienced fighting the ‘hidden hand’ that he was making extra effort.

It was only natural that Browless wouldn’t move, and that Chiyou and Sasuke couldn’t find Leeha’s movements.

Because all of that was included in Leeha’s plan.

Seuuk.......

A man with his face covered in a mask poked his head out in front of the throne room of the Vatican.

He quickly checked left and right and the surroundings and ran to the door of the audience room. Actually, he didn’t have to do that, but his movements were quite serious.

“Quick, quick, inside!”

“Damn it, I don’t know what you did. If it hadn’t been for the Director’s order, your face would-”

“Shh! Be quiet and get in quickly!”

“The Vatican said it was safe, but why do we have to go this far? You said you finished talking about it beforehand-”

“When did I say it was safe?! And there’s nothing to lose by being careful, right?!”

And of course, the masked person was Leeha.

Luger and Kidd grumbled, as well as several people trudging behind them.

“Why are you so relaxed? Come in quickly!”

“Did you forget that you should not make a fuss in places that spread faith?”

“Aish, it’s not the time to talk nonsense. Bailephus-nim too, quickly-”

“Don’t worry, mana detection is already done. There’s no one around. Do you think there is someone who can eavesdrop on our conversation without being detected by me?”

Leeha urged impatiently, but Alexander and Bailephus were walking at a carefree pace.

There was another figure behind them who was pulling a sword, but Leeha quickly pointed at him and shook his head.

“When I said hurry up, I meant going inside, not going after Alexander, Lee Jiwon-ssi. Put your sword away, quickly.”

“Hehe, I was just kidding, hyung-nim. If I help you this time, help me get in touch with the dragons, okay? Oh, I’m feeling~ ”

“Haa, ... okay, you keep asking me, how many times have you said that already? Come in quickly.”

Luger, Kidd, Alexander, and Bailephus entered.

Following them was the magic swordsman, 2nd in the ranking, Lee Jiwon. There was another person following the procession and looking anxiously at it.

“Is it really possible with this number of people? I don’t think the Pope will allow it! Of course, I admit that the people gathered here are strong, but-”

“Get inside, Fernand-ssi. Don’t worry.”

When Bailephus shook his head resolutely, the surroundings stirred. Only Alexander and Leeha understood Bailephus’ meaning.

‘The moment the leaders of the metal dragon move, the color dragon won’t stand still. Tsk, that won’t be good for me as well.’

Rather, it was Bahamut who could not move recklessly because he was the ‘King’.

Although Kuzgunak’sh was expelled, the relationship between chromatic and metal dragons worsened with his death, and of course, Bahamut, who wanted to protect order and goodness and enforce justice had to take center stage at some point.

Leeha was the reason why he couldn’t convince Bahamut until the end.

‘Hyungnim, who is Bahamut? Lord? Dragon Lord? How can I get hold of that?’

‘Ssh! Say that in front of Alexander and Bailephus, and you’re going to die in one hit!’

‘Why do you know what they’re talking about by yourself again, you damn bastard. Dragon Lord? If I catch him, will I become the strongest?’

‘Luger, be quiet, don’t pour oil on a burning house.’

Leeha stopped the two in a cold sweat.

Baillipus didn’t kill him on this spot if he hadn’t heard of it.

‘Hmmm....... If so...... you really think it’s possible with just this number of people?”

Everyone could see what Leeha thought of the team he had gathered. The Pope was skeptical. In fact, the people present were equally dubious.

Among them, there were those who had been directly hit by Bluebeard, and those who had been busy with the surrounding demon nobles.

Whatever the method, the Demon King’s army was never an easy opponent.

It is not an exaggeration to say he could be called the strongest monster in Middle Earth’s phase 2, and you’re saying it’s possible with ‘party hunting’ rather than a ‘raid’?

It was a word from the gold dragon that put an end to the people’s worries.

“Of course. Because we have Ha Leeha.”

“Bailephus-nim...”

Bailephus turned and looked at the people lined up, and then Leeha.

“Even I was impressed by this guy’s ploy to kill Kuzgunak’sh. I believe in the strength of Ha Leeha, who has become a member of the Lord’s family, and furthermore a member of the metal clan.”

And the ancient dragon’s words were no different from a guarantee.

“I understand. If so, I would like to ask all of you gathered here.”

Syaaaa-!

A notification window appeared in front of the users’ eyes.

[Subjugation of the Demon King’s army]

Explanation: ‘I, Pope Gaius IV, appoint you as

Ahlo’s representatives from the land to subjugate the Demon King’s army. However, at the request of Ha Leeha, the one who planned this operation, no official search or large-scale assistance from Ezwen and other countries is necessary, so you must defeat the Demon King’s army on this continent with your own strength and a bit of help. Please keep this in mind. The fact that what is at stake in this subjugation operation is more than just your life....... May the protection of Ahlo be with you.’

Pope Gaius IV made a decision. He chose to believe in the plan of the one that the hero of the second Human-Demon believes in and is guaranteed by the gold dragon.

There is only one thing left. Kill all the demons on this continent.

Content: Kill all of the demons in the Demon King’s army that are on the continent

“Please get rid of all the demon king’s army in the continent.”

The Pope walked over and took something out of his sleeves.

The only difference between the other people’s quest windows and Leeha was the winged key that the Pope took out.
