Chapter 378. It’s a familiar role to me. (2)
Bomb declaration.
For reference, Ho Yeol’s communication method was also not inferior to Lei Men Shen’s. Because there were many cases where the original meaning was implied. It was not uncommon to realize it only after everything had passed.
But now it was different.
Seong Hyun-jun whispers to Yoon Su-gyeom.
“Senior Seo. You must have some hidden meaning?!”
Coming back was a grind.
“well. I do not know.”
I am the Demon King of the Ten Thrones.
single entry.
Because there was absolutely no room for a direct declaration to be interpreted differently.
The one who reacted more violently than anyone else was the senior mage of the Mage Tower.
It was Bensh William.
“As expected, the reason why there was no blood or tears...!!”
...does this man take that word seriously?
Hold on.
“Ugh.”
Bangrit swallowed a sigh and stabbed Banshee in the side. Banshee quickly shut his mouth at the stinging gaze that was pouring out only then. However, it was not only Banshee who was shocked.
Ho-yeol continued as if he had expected such a reaction.
“I defeated Buer, the Demon Lord of the Ten Thrones, on the Arcana Continent and returned to the Mage Tower. The Pandemonium must have judged my actions as usurping the tenth throne occupied by Buer.”
“...!!!”
Both the Magic Tower and AAU were shocked.
Park Min-jae asked Ho-yeol back.
Another expression of the demon king of the 10th throne...
“...Did you really kill Buer, Commander-in-Chief? Just one day in real time. Calculated by the time of the Arcana continent, hasn’t it been a few days?”
The presence of a high-ranking demon is on a different level.
It was AAU who acquired that information through Ho-yeol, not anyone else.
What was shocking was the magic tower as well.
In the crystal hall, only the two men were unmoved.
Hoyeol, the party involved, and Matisse Dean Carl, senior black magician.
‘That’s it.’
Matisse looked at the suitable mana shimmering in Ho-yeol. Appropriate magic that can only be witnessed through magic tools is shimmering enough to be visible...
‘Is it evidence of blackening?’
Blackening is the regurgitation of the past.
In addition, considering Hoyeol’s appropriate amount of magic power, it would not have been strange if the aftermath of the past flowed backwards really covered the Arcana continent with darkness.
Matisse nodded.
‘Perhaps even a high-ranking demon king won’t be a problem.’
Even though I knew that fact, I still couldn’t understand it.
As you can see, the current Ho-yeol looked fine.
To the extent that I can’t even think of a person who has experienced blackening.
‘I can never easily overcome blackness...’
Matisse hesitated while looking at Ho-yeol.
Did you notice the gaze before long?
It was because Ho-yeol and his eyes met.
For a moment, Matisse asked himself a question.
‘...Are those eyes the senior officer I know?’
However, to the extent that meaningful questions become colorless.
The heat was the same as usual.
I unintentionally committed rudeness in this old age.
Matisse hurriedly bowed his head to Hoyeol.
Hoyeol looked away and opened his mouth.
“Didn’t you tell me? Be vigilant, but there is no need to be afraid.”
“...!”
“Because it’s not worth looking up to the devil. Even if it is the true king of demons, it is no exception.”
The true king of demons.
He must be talking about a high-ranking demon lord.
Hoyeol added.
“Also, it’s no different than already besieging them.”
...Wait a minute, even if the progress is fast, it’s too fast!
As expected, Hoyeol’s remarks were difficult to follow.
Isn’t the high-ranking demon king being compared to a prey driven into a corner?
Even for the sake of understanding, a complete adjustment was necessary.
Park Min-jae calmly organizes the situation.
“So what General Manager Yusura said... Thanks to the killing of Buer, who was ranked 10th. Isn’t that saying that the general manager has taken over the throne of the tenth throne?”
Hoyeol replied as always.
“It’s a throne I won’t take even if I give it to you. Yes.”
but.
‘It must be a problem starting with me being the king.’
The checkmate situation meant that each other was in common.
Granfell, who regards the devil as worse than a puppy, was calm as always, but those who understood my plan had no choice but to send their concerns.
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
Click.
Marcelo carefully floated a rhyme for a while while sitting face to face and savoring the green tea. Now, the Tower Master has become the head of the Magic Tower. There was no change in how he treated me, the senior.
“This storm looks stronger than any other. Above all, the intentions are impure. It is as if the plate has been laid for the Arcana Continent or the Pandemonium, which is not the reality here.”
return to reality.
As I headed to the Crystal Hall, I checked the regular updates. [Demon King Battle: Owner of the Ten Thrones] I expected it from the moment I thought of the quest, but Raymon Sean exceeded my expectations as expected.
“I’m guessing you’re referring to the mouth of the Behemoth.”
“That’s right.”
“Even if it’s not the case, I just witnessed it on this expedition.”
“Are you sure?”
According to Marcelo, the Mage Tower is also the mouth of the Behemoth.
He said he was aware of its existence early on.
Marcelo gently closed his eyes.
“I heard the news in the Oval Office one day. Akshan’s demon hunters have delivered a significant warning about the Behemoth’s mouth to the Mage Tower’s leadership...” A
natural enemy’s intuition.
It was our Akkshan seniors who recognized the renovation of the Pandemonium and prepared for the Holy War early on. The Behemoth’s Mouth seems to have conveyed the danger to the Empire and the Mage Tower.
“I resent myself for not paying attention.”
Including Marcelo.
At the time, no one seemed to think deeply about it.
Considering Akshan’s reputation in those days, it was reasonable.
‘Not the Dwarves who were directly helped...’
As far as I know, those who can be called friendly forces to Akshan...
I didn’t come to mind.
I responded generously to Marcelo.
“At that time, there were devil worshipers at the head of the Mage Tower. Marcelo, even if you wanted to step out, you would have interrupted it. There is no need to blame yourself.”
“...it was. I had completely forgotten about it.”
Co-chief, to put it mildly.
To be honest, a parachute.
Even I, who first stepped into the Mage Tower, knew that the elder mages displayed contradictory behavior. At that time, Marcelo was deeply irritated by the elders.
I spoke.
“It’s never too late, Marcelo.”
“Your words are right. If that’s the case...”
It’s like Marcelo, who is thorough in everything. Concerned gazes are nowhere to be found. Marcelo’s eyes light up and he immediately comes up with a solution.
“The most urgent thing is to block the Behemoth’s mouth. According to AAU’s report, from now on, beings from the underworld will pour out without any restrictions.”
I laughed to myself.
‘Because of this, Grandfel, who likes to take on the role, must have passed the position of the tower owner.’
What Marcelo said was correct.
In order to prevent the erosion of the Demon World in earnest, it was best to block the mouth of the Behemoth. Of course, the specific method didn’t immediately come to mind.
I told Marcelo the story of the demonic Lich Discus being bitten by the Behemoth’s mouth.
Still, Marcelo got the point.
“It would be even more difficult with a creature like this.”
Behemoth’s Mouth no longer attacks demon-type monsters through an update.
What that means is simple.
It means that if you touch the guy’s planting for no reason to block it, you might end up completely overturning that aggression.
Marcelo picks up a teacup, perhaps feeling frustrated.
“...this.”
Even forgetting that it was emptied earlier.
It’s natural to feel stuffy.
I know demons will pour out of the Behemoth’s mouth.
Because there was no way to stop it.
But don’t worry, Marcelo.
I calmly opened my mouth.
“It’s an unreasonable battlefield.”
“I hate to admit it, but it is.”
“Then, wouldn’t it be better to change the battlefield?”
“...what do you mean sir?”
Marcelo is startled.
Needless to say, I wasn’t flattered.
Above all, this was not the answer I, Ho-yeol Lee, came up with.
“For a true checkmate.”
“...for?”
“I will enter the demon realm.”
