Chapter 44
44The Reality of the Fire Kingdom
The victory in the first battle was a great victory..
Leon, along with the hunters and the kingdom army, headed to the royal palace with more than a hundred demons captured..
"Hehehe!"
While the rope was tied like a bundle of fish, a devil fell down..
"Oh my, be careful──."
It was a time when Koo Dae-seong was inadvertently trying to raise a devil. Koo Dae-sung realized that the devil was a very beautiful woman..
'Huh? Until recently──'
The hideous devil's appearance is everywhere, and what is in front of him is a beauty who radiates fatal charm..
"Hunter, if you could let me go… I'll do something nice for you."
"Uh, uhh……."
Koo Dae-seong is confused by the devil's temptation. It was strange. Even though he knew that the being in front of him was the devil, Koo Dae-seong stretched out his hand as if he would succumb to the temptation..
If I could hug such a beautiful woman just once... It's not bad to risk her life──
[Lionheart Aura: Legion Enhanced Pollution Resistance is activated..]
It was the moment I reached out to the devil. Her lustful beauty face disappears to reveal her hideous one-eyed face.
"Oh fuck!"
Koo Dae-seong, who was surprised, slapped the devil's butt..
The devil, who was hit with a blow that was almost like a punch, looks dumbfounded..
"Stretch out, ordinary people shake off my temptation?"
Is this the devil's temptation? I almost passed over. Koo Dae-seong held his pounding heart and was wary of the evil power of the devil..
"What kind of guy are you?!"
Leon approaches on horseback at the front. His appearance blocking the sunlight while riding the Shinsu Stallion was very authoritative..
"Who made a fuss?!"
"This is a bastard!"
Koo Dae-seong immediately points to the devil who tempted him. He quickly changed his attitude and pointed at the fallen devil..
After getting off the wheat, Leon's eyes turn to the devil. He spoke as if he knew his whole story in an instant..
"How dare you seduce my soldier with your obscene body??"
"Yo, forgive me…!"
Question and answer dance. Leon's military boots struck the devil's shins. Snap! The devil's leg breaks.
"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
"Where is the dirty and base thing raising its voice?!"
Squeak! Leon tramples on the devil mercilessly. The demons and hunters watching this turned pale..
'He's more devilish than the devil…!'
'Ugh, be brutal.……'
Only after seeing the devil being trampled to death did Leon get back on the horse..
'You're a minnow that can't even fill up with proper energy..'
Leon felt the devil's soul being absorbed into the Holy Grail and was torn apart, and confirmed the energy of the Holy Grail..
While the demons were randomly destroying themselves, many commander-level demons were hunted down. There were some high-level demons among them, so Leon recovered his sufficient holy power..
Citizens were waiting for Leon, who brought the captured demons and made peace..
They welcomed Leon and his soldiers for their great victory, but stared at the demons with fear..
"……."
The war against the devil is always like this. Even though they are low-level demons, they tempt humans and drag them into destruction and corruption..
The same goes for its hideous appearance. The war against monsters is endless, so only a few elites are inspired by victory..
In the Kingdom of Lionheart, I prayed even more for God, but these people have no one for that purpose..
That's why Leon raised both his hands..
"applaud."
"???"
"Well, what is it??"
There are doubts in the eyes of not only citizens but also hunters. I've gotten used to Leon's unexpected behavior, but that's different..
But just because Leon stops, all the soldiers stop. It brought stillness and silence and focused all eyes on Leon..
"Cheer! Give glory to the divinity of war and fire and sing the glory of this Lionheart.!"
""………….""
Silence for a while. Someone noticed and started clapping, and it quickly spread like it was contagious..
The sound of applause is increasingly thunderous, soaring high into the sky..
"Hang the demons and let the citizens kill them themselves. Let us appreciate the sweetness of the death of that ugly soul.."
"yes!"
"ego… I came back with a great victory, but no one came to see me off.."
Leon thought of the generals and knights who were not there..
I have a lot of questions.
queen and knights.
At a time when something is suspicious, a red glow is visible from the window of the royal castle..
"Was it successful?."
Leon returned straight to the royal castle..
* * * *
After receiving Yapi's report, Leon walked straight to the basement of the royal castle. I was with the hunters..
"Stop! Access is not permitted here──"
Leon did not wait for the soldier who blocked him. He kicked open the basement door that was blocked by his window.
-Kwaang!
A door that bounces as if bursting with tremendous pressure. The soldiers have long since been subdued..
"Your Majesty. Is this okay??"
Manager Jinsu Kim stepped forward with great difficulty. He has never seen such a reckless gate strategy..
Basically, conquering the gate is ultimately about clearing the quest..
Just clear the gate according to the system message that kindly explains the closing conditions..
NPCs also appear during quests, and it is essential to recruit them as allies as much as possible..
I have never heard of such a reckless strategy of turning all directions into enemies.!
"……Give up. It's easier to give up."
"no, what is that…!"
The hunters who had already watched Leon's actions at the Oak Gate were convinced that he had achieved liberation..
"Now, wait! Instead, take a look at these!"
Koo Dae-seong, who was following at the front, was startled and pointed with his finger..
After smashing the door to the basement, there is a huge cavity. an unnaturally large cavity…….
"What is this?."
"There is a place like this in the basement of the castle.?"
While assuming the worst case scenario, the hunters followed Leon as he walked with great strides. And there are two knights blocking them..
"Lion heart king! What kind of rudeness is this?!"
"Go away! I can't go any further than this.!"
Despite the knights' shouting, Leon does not stop. I just took out my sword.
"It is the king's official residence. kneel down."
Instead, it was Yappy who took action. The steel wire wielded by the auxiliary arm surpasses the speed of sound and captures the knights..
Their hard swords were instantly cut off by the sacred steel wire..
"Oh, the sword…!"
"You guys!"
Yapi immediately captured the knights, and Leon took down the tent they were guarding..
"Heo Eok…!"
"and……."
An exclamation bursts out. When she pulled up the tent, she found a frighteningly beautiful woman fast asleep..
Rather than a living thing, it is a work of art... No, a subject that looks like it was created by the devil.
Queen of the Spero Kingdom.
Beatrice Alighieri Spero.
Even her sleeping form is fatally beautiful and leads a man to destruction..
"iced coffee……."
"beautiful……."
The soldiers, dazzled by her inhuman beauty, turn to her, drooling..
Obvious abnormal behavior. Leon realized that they had been seduced by an irresistible temptation..
"Resist! Do not be deceived by evil energy.!"
Leon shouted, but the soldiers reached out to the queen. The soldiers' mental strength was unable to resist even after receiving the lion's heart aura..
Should we blame the soldiers for their weakness? Leon drooled and slapped Manager Jinsu Kim on the back of the neck as he reached out his hand..
"Hehehehe!"
After that, the Lionheart King had to do the arduous work himself. Stuns the soldiers one by one and looks disappointed..
No matter how generous you try to be, you can't help but compare yourself to your own subjects..
"Shut up…!"
"Hmm?"
Leon, who was stunning the soldiers, saw Koo Dae-seong clutching his thighs in pain and breaking into a cold sweat..
"Hoo~"
A dagger was stuck in my thigh. He realized her deception and stabbed himself to force himself to overcome it..
"lung, majesty……."
"Take a deep breath. Inhale through your mouth and exhale slowly. clear your mind."
Leon slowly sprinkled holy water on Koo Dae-seong's thighs as he took a deep breath. Immediately effective recovery regenerates thighs wounded by a dagger.
"That's amazing. I never thought I would be fooled by Her Majesty the Queen.."
General Ricardo and his knights trotting along. The knights surrounding the three people point their swords in unison..
"You will have to explain. warlord."
"What explanation can you give to someone who will die soon?."
Koo Dae-seong became confused by General Ricardo's cold gaze..
'what? Is the general a corrupter??'
If so, it's strange. The generals and knights also passed through the flame of divinity in the square that day..
If he had been a corrupter, he would not have been able to withstand the fire and would have revealed his true identity..
"Do you have no intention of protecting the kingdom? Without luggage, you will not be able to overcome the invasion of evil species.."
"It doesn't matter. Even without you."
"hmm."
Even in an imminent situation, Leon did not give up his calm demeanor. He actually has a cool expression, as if he has put together a puzzle..
"Come to think of it, you guys. You are not deceived by the queen.?"
"……Because I'm used to it."
"You can't get used to it. The queen's coquetry is a magic closer to a curse than something innate. I've seen someone with this kind of power before.."
lord of pleasure.
Leon spoke of the ugly, lustful demon lord he had slaughtered with his own hands..
"A being that tempts all living things. A person born with coquetry. A devilish pleasure that leads men to corruption. This queen is such a creature.."
A stronghold that surpasses even the great devil. It is a force that no living thing can withstand. It was a difference in mental strength, and that is why the battle against demon lords was won through the sacrifices of many Holy Grail Knights..
"But it's strange."
"What… I mean."
"Why does Jim, who despises and loathes the evil species more than anyone else, not feel that kind of energy from this queen? You guys are like, ‘How are you okay?'."
This cannot happen. Leon is a demon butcher who has been fighting demons for hundreds of years..
It's impossible for him not to notice the malicious energy..
Leon held up the Holy Grail. The cup of the Holy Grail was full of holy water. There is a black flower on top of the cup..
"God of dreams and death. May your guardian favor you."
It is not even a full-fledged ritual, but an inter-consciousness. However, if the subject is a demigod, the story is different..
[My wife will gladly respond to the call of the Lionheart King..]
The purple woman smiles and reveals her spirit form. The divinity that descended directly by grinding the souls of countless demons froze everything around it with its mere presence..
"Meet Fl, the divinity of dreams and death.."
[Yes, Ariana's article. master of lion heart.]
"Lord of illusions. I have strengthened you just as you wished..
I felt a sense of discomfort from the moment I entered the gate. And in order to find out the identity of the strangeness, Fleur personally made a summons..
Now that the divinity of dreams and death has been summoned directly, revealing the truth of this world is a very simple task..
the goddess said.
[Demons of corruption. They were carrying out a trick. I am performing a ritual of corruption in an endlessly repeating dream.!]
The goddess pointed to the general and knights with her finger..
[A dream is something you must eventually wake up from. Show your true self!]
The truth of the world is revealed through beautiful fingers.
Like ink spreading on drawing paper, it instantly colors the world..
The world, no, the dream is broken.
"Heo Eok…!"
Koo Dae-seong, who witnessed the transformation and revealed reality, swallowed the flagship..
Generals and knights of the Kingdom of Spero.
Brave knights who were once heroes and wielded their swords against evil..
Their hard flesh has rotted and crumbled, and their strong forearms are showing bone..
"Death Knight?!"
supreme command.
The true nature of the undead knights who refused death has been revealed.
