Chapter 151
151The youngest great devil
The gate opened inside the cave..
"Fortunately, it's a place where their eyes can't reach.."
"Last time I came, this is a place I saved in case I came again.."
"I really wonder what it would have been like if it weren't for you.."
Leon was relieved, but looked around the ruined territory of the Grand Duke of Slaughter..
"It's worth destroying it thoroughly.."
The last time we came here with a joint Korean-Japanese expeditionary force, we raided the surrounding villages and thoroughly destroyed the surrounding area, taking demon followers as prisoners..
Thanks to this, it seems that no new villages are being built or demons are residing here..
"hmm?"
At that time, a group of demons loomed in Leon's sight. Even with his superhuman vision, it would be about 50 to 60 kilometers away..
"There aren't any demons out there.."
"Are they the ones who came to take care of the territory??"
"Maybe so. Bice, take a look at this instead.."
Leon took out a dagger from his waist and showed it..
"Lord Vulcan's dagger……."
A knight of war and flame, his ceremonial dagger was producing a faint flame..
"It is a resonance phenomenon between the star armor and the holy power. It happens when you have a long-term relationship. That dagger is quite… Lord Vulcan. There's a special connection."
"Does that mean there is Lord Vulcan nearby??"
Leon shook his head at those words..
"Once you become a Holy Grail Knight, you can express your existence even across continents. Lord Vulcan will resonate even if he is on the other side of the planet.."
Therefore, we cannot be sure that Vulcan is nearby based on this alone..
"But if you get close, this dagger could be a guidepost.."
"okay. But this is enough. It's difficult to find coordinates within the gate.."
Beatrice was planning to open the gate with the coordinates of Vulcan in this demon world..
Just like Sir Antok leaped through space to avoid the Lord of Wisdom at the gate of the Lionheart Kingdom..
"I think it will take some time to find the coordinates. Could you please wait here as a base??"
"Then Jim will take a look around. I have something to check.."
"Before that, Your Majesty. I have something to do."
"?"
there was light contact.
The feeling of fingers touching at a distance where our breath touches each other..
The magic contained in the queen's white fingers touches Leon's forehead..
The fingers touching my forehead were pleasantly soft..
"The curtain of fantasy, block out the light."
A voice that rang like a whisper from across the street tickled Leon's ears..
There is magic in the voice, especially to a magician, every action has a special meaning..
For Leon, who is not a magician, it is just a tickling time..
"It's done."
After an exchange that was a bit disappointing but fleeting, Beatrice smiled brightly..
"His Majesty's sacred power was hidden. It's a small camouflage that can be removed when you take out a holy object or use a holy method.."
"Is that so?."
Beatrice's eyebrows raise at Leon's short answer question..
"Were you disappointed??"
Leon chuckled and raised his hand in surrender at the provocative smile of her eyes, who knew his charm better than anyone else..
"A man who is not disappointed by the temptation of someone as beautiful as you is heartless.."
"Your Majesty is accustomed to speaking words that please women.."
"Isn’t it a virtue of royal life??"
Beatrice wholeheartedly sympathized with those words. Because the royal family is the center of social circles..
"Please be careful and act accordingly. This is the middle of enemy territory. If you have to, you can open the gate and retreat, but you will be wary of them.."
"I know. Relics and sacred laws will not be used.."
With those words, Leon left the cave and looked around..
'There's no other movement around here..'
Even though it is a demon territory, the surrounding area has been mercilessly destroyed and the land area is not normal..
I'm not sure about the devils' real estate situation, but given the nature of the species, their population probably isn't that large..
At least the area around this cave is safe. Beatrice chose the coordinates very well..
'She's a wise woman.'
Leon himself had been studying and accumulating knowledge steadily since he was young, as the heir of the Grand Duke's family, as an attendant to the goddess, and as the chosen Lionheart King, but his wisdom was not comparable to Yacht Spinner or Beatrice..
The Lionheart King is a military officer, not a civil servant. His position is close to that of a noble knight and the ultimate weapon of the kingdom..
'Castile was also a wise woman. Thanks to her it helped her a lot.'
────
At that time, the voice of the goddess whispered to Leon. Leon shook his head..
"Don't say things like that. It's not time yet."
A voice says, “You always pass over your goddess’s advice like that.”.
Isn’t that closer to something else than advice, Leon thought..
"Phew……."
Leon looked around the cave and gazed at the ruined wilderness beyond..
Several tens of kilometers from this point. A group of people are carrying out suspicious activities in a ruined village..
If there is life, that group is the only one..
* * * *
The Great Duke of Slaughter's territory was devastated and Akasha disappeared..
Since you were captured by those guys, extinction is natural, but there is a need to clean up after all..
However, no one came forward to repair the ruins of the Grand Duke's territory..
-Me? why?
-Are you saying I'm crazy and going in there? What if they open the gate again?!
-Oh, I'm busy with work.…….
The demons were shocked that they had been invaded for the first time in their history, and they were even more shocked that the invader was Leon Dragonia Lionheart..
-crazy. Lionheart, why is that bastard out here??
-Well, you captured and killed the Archduke? Uh, when is it coming again??
-Argh! we are all dead!
They were demons that invaded the Lionheart Kingdom..
Before the final Demon Gate was destroyed, they managed to escape with their lives and were traumatized by Lionheart and the Holy Grail Knights..
And it's not just the demons that invade that world that have trauma..
-Even the Magic Queen? Beatrice, that witch bitch has come?
-Ah, it hurts… Hair, body, leather... ! teeth!
Beatrice Alighieri Spero.
A demonic castle of corruption targeted by demons of pleasure and corruption. A being born with coquetry.
The plan carried out by the Demon Archduke Quay and the Archdemon Androgyne to corrupt the magician queen and awaken her into a corrupt monarch is a hundred years old..
Even before that, the Magic Queen was famous..
Wasn't he the author who planned to instill 'trauma' in order to prevent immortal demons from coming back?.
Thanks to this, all the demons who died of shock under torture meant only to cause pain were afraid of the magician queen..
One was a destroyer who destroyed the soul itself, and the other was a witch who instilled pain in the soul..
To demons who have faced many powerful people, those two are particularly terrifying..
Anyway, back to the main point..
'No one is in charge!'
No great devil is in charge of cleaning up the ruined territory of the Great Duke of Slaughter Akasha..
The Great Demon of Wisdom and Exploration gritted his teeth as he watched the Great Demons around him shaking their hands at the meeting..
These are the people who would have set out to take over the Grand Dukedom, where countless treasures would remain even if they had been plundered under normal circumstances..
However, there is only one thing that prevents them from entering the Grand Dukedom..
It was because they were afraid of the return of the Lionheart King and the Magic Queen..
Isn't it Oba??
Logically it's not like that either..
Earth's joint attack force opened the gate and entered the territory of the Great Duke of Slaughter..
That means these coordinates have been exposed..
If you stay near the coordinates that have already been exposed once, you will be the first target..
Naturally, the demons had no intention of entering the Grand Duke Territory, and even the demons in the surrounding territories chose to take refuge..
At one time, the land of the Grand Duke of Slaughter, which had a very high price even in the demon world, and its surrounding areas fell into ruin due to the successive real estate crashes..
In this atmosphere, someone must take care of the Grand Duke. At least they needed a facility to send a signal if they invaded in earnest later..
[Hey youngest.]
'Ah!──'
A senior archdemon looking at himself during magic communication. The pitch-black wings fluttering in his shadow are the very majesty of the Great Demon of Wisdom..
But apart from such majesty, the Great Demon of Wisdom, called the ‘youngest’, sweated profusely..
[Let's do well?]
'──sit arm!'
Wherever you go, the bottom line is in charge of chores..
"Move quickly!"
Gob, the goblin of wisdom, urged the half-humans and half-demons by swinging his whip..
"We will complete the restoration of this area within today.!"
The Grand Duke of Slaughter's territory was large and wealthy, but it was destroyed as if a swarm of locusts had passed through it..
"Ouch! Pollution level 85%! I can't stand it!"
"These bastards... ! I poured my holy power on the ground and went!"
To demons, holy power is the power of the ultimate. The traces of the Holy Law spread by Leon and other knights have polluted the territory of the Demon World..
"Three, oh my... ! explanation! the grass is growing!"
"Unbelievable! This is terrible…!"
The devil's followers are astonished as if they were seeing a misshapen plant contaminated with radiation..
To them, green vegetation is no different from humans facing radioactive contamination..
"Gather all the soil imbued with sacred power in one place.!"
Gove had his slaves gather the soil imbued with holy power in one place..
"Lord, master… What are you going to do with all this horrible dirt in one place?……."
"It's all useful!"
Gove used mysterious magical powers to extract holy power from the dirt. Then the concentrated holy power flocks to his staff..
"Master, what about that wand??"
"Hot hot! This is what I have accumulated for 250 years.."
"Wow, why on earth would you do something like that??"
Stupid things. You don't even know how useful holy power is..
This is why he is the Great Devil and those idiots are half-demon bastards..
Gove sent his slaves to work and headed to his office..
But why? strangely nervous.
It's not just because I came to a purified land that is no different from radioactive contamination to the devil..
Monga… Monga is anxious. Why? Strangely enough, my instinct for survival was warning me..
'That's strange. Monga is weird!'
It was an illogical thought considering he was the great devil of wisdom and exploration, but it was his instinct to survive even from the lion-hearted king..
Gove spent time in his temporary office looking at data from the destroyed village..
'Come to think of it, I forgot to check what the Earth was up to..'
The Jewel of Wisdom is the devil's arrangement to summon the Great Devil through a dimensional invasion. However, when the former person in charge of the Jewel of Wisdom sensed Leon's appearance, he abandoned his work and ran away..
Thanks to this, Gove, who had limited time, took on the task.…….
'Raynald bastard. No matter what I order, everything ends up being strangely twisted.!'
Gove was so anxious that he did not allow Raynald to approach Korea. If the Jewel of Wisdom is cut by the sword of the Lionheart King, the person with whom the soul is connected will also be cut off..
Recently, I have been out of touch due to unexpected work, but as soon as I return, I will check the location of the Lionheart King in real time and warn him to be careful..
When the night came like that──
-Ugh!
A groan was heard from somewhere. Gove woke up not knowing what was going on..
"Hmm?"
When I came out into the hallway, I didn't feel like I was popular. Only faint moonlight illuminates the hallways of the ruined building..
There, Gove felt strange and found slaves..
'That's strange. It's strange…….'
Why are there so few people? Even if he says he is taking a break because he has free time, the slaves are busy working.…….
-Siik
It was then. Gove realized that something was wrong with the barrier he had hit. Movement so quiet that an ordinary archdemon would not have noticed..
However, because he was a goblin with his survival instinct at its peak, it was a momentary sense of discomfort..
'Mo, monga….'
Gove sensed that his survival warning had reached its peak. It's illogical, but he has always saved himself..
'Hey, there it is! Yes! something was behind me!'
Some eyes were staring at me.
