Chapter 121
121Subdue the Demon Grand Duke
"Even if your limbs are broken and your intestines are spilled, hold on to at least one more enemy. Your value on the battlefield is only that much.."
In a word, suicide charge.
The serfs rebelled against the attitude of not even hiding the fact that they were openly asking for death..
"What, what!"
"And yet he is a knight of justice?!"
"Don't be funny! I became a serf to suffer death like this.──!!?"
The serfs couldn't even respond to Leon's wide-eyed gaze and began to take the lead, moving around like stiff dolls..
"You guys have already accepted your punishment. And you won't die easily 'until your punishment is completed'."
All of Lionheart's serfs are reduced to serfs after the judgment of Tartar, the god of the sun and judgment..
There is no ‘freedom’ for serfs who are not free people..
It is not just a simple meaning or symbol, it is truly a deprivation of the ‘concept of freedom’..
"Ugh, uhhh……."
They were forced to move their bodies at the command of the Lionheart King. To accomplish what they command, independent of their will..
The demons looked at the serfs marching right in front of them with a puzzled look in their eyes..
-Are these guys crazy??
-You guys go back to your village! What are they doing?!
"Charge!!"
The Lionheart King commands. The serfs rushed.
"Wow!!!"
"I don't want to die!"
The serf meat shields, who were deprived of their physical freedom and only followed orders, clashed with the devils..
Of course, a one-sided massacre and butchery was expected, but surprisingly, they endured well, and this is due to Leon's blessing..
[The Lionheart King's Serf Shock Troop]
◆effect
: A meat shield is granted..
: Perseverance is granted.
: Noooooooo power is strengthened.
: Survival instinct is strengthened.
: Vitality increases by 250%.
The serfs of the true monarch, the Lionheart King, who even uses serfs as effective 'resources', faithfully played the role of meat shields to the point where they withstood even a head-on collision with demons..
Even if you are injured, you can immediately recover thanks to the Holy Grail's protection. This is such a gracious consideration from the Lionheart King.!
"Serfs are being brought in one after another! Take advantage of the opportunity to strike the enemy's flank.!"
While the serfs held on to the demons, Leon spread out his hunters like two wings and surrounded the demons..
The number of demons was over 3,000, and their qualitative ability was great, but they were unable to play an active role due to the 5,000 serf soldiers..
"The sides are empty!"
"Since there are a lot of pages, something like this works.!"
50For hunters who were mainly focused on human attack teams, the overwhelming number of allies is something unfamiliar..
The hunters, who easily secured the flank thanks to the meat shields, became powerful hammers and struck down the demons..
"Wow!"
"Humans…!"
The demons fought while surrounded on three sides, but the enemy's numbers were overwhelming. Moreover, there was a separate decisive main force..
"Then, something comes running from behind.!"
Leon and the 40 knights. Included in it are the Holy Grail Knight Yacht Spinner and the Priestess of Death, Beatrice. Han Hari, the goddess of two gods.
Leon let out a loud roar while riding the war bull of Fethos, the god of war and flame..
[【[Strongest Assaulter] is applied to the unit. 【War Knight's Protection】 and 【Fear of Evil】 are added together and applied..]

"Destroy!!"
moment of rear collision.
The demons of slaughter were torn apart and literally pierced through..
Thousands of demons were cut in half by 50 mounted charges..
Leon's holy spear skewered the demons, while Yacht Spinner's railgun and chaingun tore them apart..
Beatrice's bombardment exploded the demons with a pin point, and Hari and Jaehyuk's holy method killed the upper-level demons..
The battle was a landslide victory.
-Your Majesty, 3,243 enemies destroyed. 300 prisoners secured.
"What are you going to do, Bice?."
Leon asked Beatrice for her opinion. In this battle, if we were to discuss skills other than Leon, her destructive magic bombardment was by far the number one specialty..
"Could you please hand over 30 of each grade? I think the higher the grade, the better.."
"Evil must be destroyed immediately... For some reason?"
"Hehehehe."
Beatrice smiled and answered.
"Your Majesty, the more opportunities we have to open the Demon Gate, the better.?"
"oh……."
Indeed, an intelligent magician. Leon was willing to hand over the captured demons. As he was sorting through the captured demons, Takeda, a Japanese S-class hunter, approached..
"your majesty."
"What happened?."
"Could you please hand over some demons to our raid team??"
"Not allowed."
"……Why? Our hunters also shed blood.."
In short, it was demanding a price for this victory. I understand that you want to take the loot, but Leon did not allow it for other reasons..
"Looting this gate should be enough to get loot. The voices of the devil will tempt and tempt you.."
"We do not fall for the devil's tricks!"
"Are you sure there is no such thing??"
"……."
Takeda couldn't answer. But he also wanted to prove the success of conquering the Demon Gate..
A captured demon would make a pretty good propaganda piece. Takeda, who split with the Jeonilhyup, needed more justification..
"hmm… It's absurd to keep the demons alive... If there are about three……."
Leon turned to the captured demons. Demons of slaughter and destruction. These demons were particularly violent and destructive among demons, so it was not easy to capture them..
They were demons trapped in a cage for capture, but it was not unusual for them to run wild with the momentum to break the bars..
"Damn, tie it up well.!"
"Don't approach it clumsily.!"
The hunters were barely able to tie them up by tearing up the additional restraint scrolls, but the growling demons were threatening..
"Destroy you and open the arena for slaughter! You will be destroyed! Wahahahahahahaha!!"
A devilish voice that would make ordinary humans lose their minds just by hearing it. Even the hunters trembled in fear from the devil's crazy curse..
"Shut up, you devil.!!"
"Kuheuk?!"
Even if his skull wasn't crushed by the Lionheart King's blow,.
The demon, whose skull was crushed by the Lionheart Chop and one of his eyes blown out, was left speechless and unable to speak..
"These evil servants try to curse people with their cunning tongue whenever they get the chance.."
-Hi!!
-Okay!
The demons all fall silent at the appearance of Leon. Among the trembling demons, some had yellow liquid dripping from their crotches..
"Hmm……."
The demons do their best to avoid eye contact as Leon rolls his eyes as if he were criticizing the fish at Dotegi Market. One hunter thought this as he watched the demons keep quiet as if they had made a promise in front of the Lionheart King, the fear of evil species..
'It's like dogs that met a dog owner.…….'
The demons that used to be violent even when other hunters stabbed them with spears and tightened them with ropes are now as calm as dogs in a cage after meeting a dog..
"This guy and that guy will be fine.."
Leon pointed out several demons and opened the cage. The devil who was shaking us until just now, squirms and hides when Leon opens the window..
"Tsk tsk?!"
It was pulled further and further, and its face and body collided with us, breaking the bars. The demon that jumped out was beaten to the floor by Leon, who grabbed his tail..
"Coop!"
The devil was thrown from the back of his head, and his skull was broken. Leon handed such a devil to Takeda..
"……your majesty?"
"If you do this roughly, even the devil will not be able to think and will end up drooling. It is said to be useful for ornamental purposes, except that butterflies are released and chased when they are seen.."
They say they do? Was there anyone close to you who enjoyed something like that??
Takeda could not possibly ask such a deep question. Anyway, the devil drools and likes to have a leash around my neck..
Leon said firmly as he handed over these demons..
"It's been two days. I'll handle it two days after I return, so you know.."
"Ah, yes……."
Does this mean that even a devil with such miserable appearance cannot be tolerated alive? Takeda decided to take a few commemorative photos of him and quickly pass them on..
"Then let’s gradually attack their true nature.."
"This time too... Are you going to put the serfs first??"
Takeda was disgusted after witnessing the serfs' meat shields, which were somewhat of a culture shock to modern people..
"Although we hunted a lot of demons, the damage from this side is still quite large.."
Total casualties amounted to nine hundred. Most of these were killed in action..
"Yes, a lot of people got hurt. Ten people… No, more than twenty people may have died.."
"yes?"
Takeda tilted his head at the strange counting method..
"Your Majesty, in the previous battle, over nine hundred people died.."
"Mmm?"
To be exact, nine hundred and sixteen people. Among them, more than nine people died, which is a serious death rate in a war..
Even after hearing such casualties, Leon stared straight at Takeda as if he had no idea what was going on..
"Well, no way… Did you include the serfs in the numbers??"
"……yes?"
At that moment, Takeda remembered the numbers he had received..
Hunter casualties: 34. 882 serf casualties.
Excluding serf casualties,…….
"Four, three judges……."
"yes, that is correct."
Leon tapped Takeda's shoulder, who was turning blue. Takeda is engulfed in profound internal conflict as he stares at Leon's back..
Indeed, humans... Is he really better than the devil?.
* * * *
After running away from Leon, Archduke Akasha locked himself in the castle of his domain..
"Ugh."
Through Cheon Ji-ho's words, the pain radiates outward. Although he lost his body and borrowed the form of a sword, the pain of the host was his own pain..
'The wound caused by the holy sword is deep..'
A strike from a holy sword imbued with the power of all gods. It was threatening in Akasha. It's just shocking that its power is not comparable to its prime..
Moreover, Akasha's wounds were not only caused by the holy sword. At the moment of gate jumping, the influence of the 'Holy Law' left by Leon's holy spear is still slowing down the regeneration of the body..
Indeed, the Lionheart King. It was the power of a devil's natural enemy..
'also… Doesn't it have to be at the level of a monarch?.'
The pinnacle of all evil. demon lords.
Although most of the demon lords died in the expedition, their strength is by no means inferior to that of the Lionheart King..
No, rather, most demon lords were stronger than the Lionheart King..
'It was thanks to the addition of his knights that he was able to defeat Dothradon, the Lord of Pleasure, Malus, the Lord of Chaos, and Karakael, the Lord of Wisdom, in the Great War..'
The strength of the Lionheart King is strength, but the strength of the Grail Knights and knights under him is the main axis of Lionheart..
In the distant past, didn't Malus, the Lord of Chaos, drive the Lionheart King to the brink of death?.
If it weren't for that monster of flame, the Lionheart King's life would not have lasted until now..
'He is at his weakest right now. Compared to the power of the past, it is now at the level of a soldier's game..'
We must destroy it before it regains its power..
'In fact, it's already being prepared. Soon Raksha… That guy wakes up.'
The reason he abandoned the new slaughterhouse and headed to ‘Korea’ was to support him..
"Grand Duke!"
It was then. The castle's low-level devil, the devil butler, urgently visited Akasha's room..
"What-what's going on?."
"They are here! They came to the front of the castle.!"
"krr----"
Akasha growled at the Lionheart King, who had marched all the way to her castle..
I don't know what they did, but this guy opened the gate and invaded his territory..
Are you thinking of directly attacking the demon world where demons live? He was definitely crazy too.
"Request for support... what happened."
"That, that……."
The butler devil hesitated to speak as if he was completely lost. Although there were numerous great demons in the nearest territory,…….
"At the call... I didn't respond. The Grand Duke... You don't deserve it……."
"krr--"
Demon Archduke. He is definitely the second most powerful among demons after the monarch..
However, only the demon lord has the right to summon the great demons who lead the demon army through territory..
'Among the demons of slaughter who have lost their monarch, there is great confusion as to who has the authority to command..
'If it weren't for that orc guy.'
The lord of slaughter and destruction died by his hands. He was a grand duke, but he lost his body to a bastard and has been wandering for the past dozen years..
"Murka… That damn bastard."
Orc Great Khan. Like the Lionheart King, he is feared by all demons and causes competition..
If it weren't for him, the decisive battle against Lionheart would have been a battle in which all the monarchs and demon princes participated..
"release…!"
"The great shell?"
The butler tilts his head at Akasha who suddenly makes a loud noise. Akasha's frown narrowed..
'The host guy…….'
The one who just spoke was not Akasha. He was the parasite host Cheon Ji-ho..
I never thought I would become this weak. Due to the deep wounds suffered by Akasha, her host's consciousness is awakening..
"Not good."
Akasha has been searching for the perfect host to resurrect her body for a long time..
Hosts with genius sword skills. Of the six hosts that have passed through so far, Cheon Ji-ho was by far the best, but there was only one..
There was a genius body with talent that surpassed even this heavenly lake..
"Cheon-So-Yeon. I have to find that girl.."
Cheon Ji-ho's body couldn't defeat Leon. But if it's Cheon So-yeon?
If you use that woman's body as a host and fully develop your potential with your own power,…….
One of Akasha's eyes was shining with greed..
'Soyeon… run away.'
On the other side, my father's sorrowful tears flowed..
