144. The Advent of the Demon King (1)

“Captain, aren’t these guys weird?”

A man with a huge sword slung over his shoulder said with a frown.

Duke Justia and Hela were on their knees in front of the Lost Hopes, tied with ropes.

When did they, the powerful members of the duke’s family, receive such treatment?

He just glared at the Lost Hopes with eyes full of life.

“Ugh!!”

Duke Justia opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out because of the dirty cloth stuffed into her throat.

“Hmm… … . yeah this is kinda weird like… … . It feels dirty, like someone is playing with someone’s intentions.”

The man called the captain also said suspiciously.

Sure enough, I saw a follower’s head blown off in an attack from behind.

Not too long ago, a religious bishop was found dead.

Such circumstances made me think that Justia had prepared a way to penetrate the ‘wall’.

When the barrier was ineffective, the position a moment ago, where one-sided attacks could be poured out, was a really dangerous situation.

That’s why he came to take care of Justia faster than he could deal with Julie who betrayed Lost Hope.

However, contrary to expectations, they had a lot of heads and were too weak.

‘And those unfunny pitfalls… … . Then what the hell happened to Julie?’

The captain felt his head throb and hurt.

It feels like the plan I’ve been preparing for a long time has gone awry from the start.

He quickly cooled his feverish head and sorted out the situation.

First of all, Julie, who betrayed Lost Hope, took Madame’s abilities.

It doesn’t need to worry about itself.

I even left a frame underneath. There is no way that the Demon King would forgive a traitor to have his power.

He himself will judge.

However, what could not be ignored was the reason why Julie betrayed and Madam’s death.

Madam’s death was particularly painful.

The role of giving various teachings to new bishops and the role of spiritual support.

The big star of Lost Hope has gone too empty.

‘So I thought I’d know if I caught this guy… … .’

As soon as I grabbed it, the road went wild and dared to say the same thing, so I blocked my mouth to be aware of my position.

The captain looked down at Duke Justia, who was bound with cold eyes.

“Relieve the bite in your mouth.”

Then the shadow next to him roughly pulled the cloth out of his mouth.

“Cheuk! Heo, heo, heo— cool!”

Duke Justia inhaled heavily and coughed.

As he tried to open his mouth again, the captain raised his energy and pressed him.

“If you talk nonsense from now on, I will kill you right away.”

Duchess Justia glared at the captain at the chilling captain’s threat, then slightly averted his eyes.

“Tell me again. What does that mean? We attacked you.”

“Kheuk. Didn’t you guys try to kidnap my daughter, Iriel Justia, twice and annihilate the Assassins! From the banquet in Justia, there was a mess. Are you still saying that our revenge is unjust!”

“Then attack us from behind… … . What betrayed Julie… … .”

“Who is Julie! I do not know! Even the guy who shouted my name from behind! You don’t even know who the attacker is!”

The captain’s brow furrowed.

‘I don’t think you’re lying… … .’

Huh Eok-

Huh Eok-

Then, behind the bishops, a believer said with a contemplative face.

“… … Captain, the Bishop of the Battle of Tlach is mortally wounded.”

Then the bishops’ faces hardened in an instant.

“What… … ? Wait, let me tell you more.”

“The followers were almost wiped out by a girl and the knights of the Duke of Joheiden! It was Joheiden bastard, not Justia!”

Duke Justia’s eyes widened.

Hella also bit her lip next to her.

“Was it a trap for those fucking bastards in Yoheiden?!!!!!”

“Wait a minute, Your Excellency the Duke. That means… … . Zeke Kleiman also lost… … .”

“You bastards, don’t intervene and shut up! believers… … . Believers annihilated? And the Bishop of Tlac is mortally wounded. Are you saying that the power of the Duke of Joheiden is that strong?”

The captain’s clenched fists trembled.

About 30% of the personnel was divided into troops to catch Julie with Tlak,

All the followers are killed and even Tlak is mortally wounded.

Really unexpected things kept happening.

“The Duchess of Joheiden dealt with a sword that could pierce the wall, and dealt with a group of followers with one follower. And… … . It was Julie the Apostate and a girl who made Bishop Tlac so… … . Bishop Tlac lost an arm and was pierced in the stomach.”

“That apostate didn’t die even though he had the demon king’s power? And the girl?”

“Captain, I will go. I will bring Bishop Tlac.”

The man with the sword on his back said in a hard voice.

“No, stay still. If I go down now, I don’t know who else will be defeated… … . This is a serious threat to Lost Hope… … .”

He closed his eyes and gathered his thoughts.

after a short while. he opened his eyes

“we are… … . Now, summon the demon lord.”

“… … !”

The bishops looked in the direction of the captain with astonished faces.

“Very well, chief. Now the offerings are down there… … ?”

“Aren’t there sacrifices here too? Duke Justia. Please cooperate.”

At his words, Duke Justia swallowed in a gulp.

* * *

Zeke Kleiman, who was watching Soi, jumped up the mountain.

He erased his presence from the top of the tree and watched how much the Lost Hopes did.

“It’s progressing faster than I thought. Did Duke Justia cooperate?”

There was Duke Justia screaming while tied to a rope, and following his orders, Justia’s surviving troops were drawing pictures on their ships with swords.

“I feel bad every time I see these bastards.”

For a moment, the soy below came to mind, but Zeke quickly brushed it off.

‘Soy is fine. I can do it.’

Provoking an ordinary bakery girl to kill without hesitation, putting her in danger of dying.

In a way, Zeke may be asking So-yi for something too harsh.

However, she was originally born with a fate that was infinitely close to 100%.

That means that it is 100% even assuming that you are by my side.

It was that one day, while Zeke himself was gone, the fate of death would come.

Proper flowering was essential to avoid such an infinitely close to 100% death fate.

In the end, it’s up to her to figure it out on her own.

‘From now on, what you will go through will be so painful that it will not be compared to the previous one, but endure it. Soy. I want you to live even if you become a blood-soaked ghost.’

Of course, there was a reason she was the female lead.

Because I didn’t want that child to fall victim to that damn fate.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to keep watching Soyi by his side, but Zeke had to stop the Demon King.

“Whoa… … . I’m going to warm up after a long time.”

Now.

One bishop he killed.

One bishop killed by Julie.

In addition, the followers of Lost Hope also killed a much larger number of incendiary.

‘It would be nice if Julie could catch another guy called Teultak, but that would most likely kill him at Soyi’s hands.’

Zeke nodded.

‘Well, that’s all right. No one is far short of meeting the adversary’s condition of ‘killing more Lost Hopes than anyone else’. First of all, catch the demon king who was summoned without any power applied here. And then I’ll kill all the Lost Hope bastards.’

* * *

Justia’s soldiers followed the Duke’s words and sat on their knees with the mark of sacrifice engraved on their bodies.

“Eh, if you do this, you will be saved, right? … ?”

Justia’s soldier asked Lost Hope in front of him in a frightened voice.

Duke Justia said that he could live by drawing strange drawings on his body with his own sword, and told him to paint the body quickly.

The soldiers had been discouraged by Lost Hope’s bizarre ability for a long time, so they engraved pictures on their bodies to want to live.

“yes.”

The Lost Hopes were divided and inspected the marks of Justia’s soldiers one by one.

Duke Justia and Hella watched as they were tied up.

“Peacock… … . Is it really okay to do this? They are Justia’s knights. Are you thinking of killing them all?”

Hella looked at the duke with trembling eyes and said.

“Isn’t this all what happened because you asked me to come here!”

“… … .”

Thick bloodshot eyes stood in Duke Justia’s eyes.

Hella kept her mouth shut.

“Or, do you want your year to be thrown as a sacrifice? If not, don’t vomit and stay still. I have thoughts.”

Duke Justia thought that he was really a frog in the well.

Even if he had conquered Joheiden and obtained the empire, he would have been beaten by them at some point.

It seems that the Joheiden guys tried to use them to dispose of themselves, but Duke Justia had no intention of letting them suffer.

A body impervious to swords, and the summoning of the demon king.

Aren’t they like monsters somewhere?

Duke Justia, who dedicated the knights, was able to see one way out.

An option to bow down to Lost Hope and join them altogether.

“I… … . I’m going through this, but I won’t… … . never… … .”

Eyes full of deep emotions were looking at Lost Hope.

“I will begin the ritual to summon the Demon King.”
