Chapter 519 – Birth of the Demon

A blue sky. A fish with wings that doesn’t match the clear color, and many dull monsters resembling dragons with long bodies like loaches glide.

Usually monsters are feared, but these monsters are tamed monsters that help with all kinds of convenience.

But they were tamed by humans, not by humans.

Margie.

It was bred by humans who had more ferocious energy than monsters.
Those who combine intellect with the power to feel fear.
People call them… Demons.

At first glance, the people busily moving on the street looked like ordinary people.
Except for the slight horns on their foreheads, something on their tails, and their backs, they look nothing but human society.

“Yes, sir. We will arrive soon…!”
“I’ll deliver soon. Yes. Yes! Trust me!”
“Hey. Let’s meet there. There’s a new place in front of your house. Yes.”
“Baby~”

They communicate with each other, work, and enjoy culture just like humans.

And there was an existence looking down at the scene with dissatisfaction.
He was so high that even the building looked like an ant.

The architectural style of this place where demons live, which should be called the Demonic Land, is strange.

Looking down from above, it is centered around the circle in the middle and outside the great principle, and the circle is divided into four areas.
And the area has a style that seems to mix cultures from all over the world, and the circle in the middle has a style close to modern civilization.

And the tallest tower among them.
No, rather than a tower, it is a building that looks like a skyscraper of modern civilization. It was there that the disaffected being set foot.

A person who complains on the top floor of a building.

The demon king of 1 Purgatory and belongs to Jin Yeon-ok.
Arras, the 9th rank ‘Demon King of War’.

In the meeting room where the monthly ‘Demon Lord Council’, which decides the direction of the demon realm, was held, he was grumbling all the time, twisting his mouth about what he was so dissatisfied with.

“You weaklings. Pitiful things…”

Arras wasn’t the only meeting room.
A middle-aged man in a monocle sitting in front of a huge table looked at his wristwatch and spoke.

“I-I’m going to accidentally use the evil eye while looking at it like that. It’s time for the council to start soon, so stop sitting.”
“…”

The one who called him was the same 1st purgatory and the demon king belonging to Jin yeonok. He was Pyrad, the ‘demon king of the ranks’, ranked 7th in the hierarchy.

He was a neat middle-aged man wearing a pair of glasses, and he was a person who could just feel the elegance of his upper body. However, what is hidden under that bottom is unmistakably that of a demon.
Arras felt the demonic energy that could not be hidden even if he tried to hide it, and he was happy haha, but then he frowned again.

“Pirad. Do you like to see those figures?”
“Well… It’s not like us versus the demons, but whatever form it is, it doesn’t matter as long as I maintain my rank.”

Pirad answered honestly, but he knew full well that it would be useless, and indeed, Arras did not pretend to listen and just said what he had to say.

“It’s like the demons are obsessed with the civilization of other races rather than fighting instincts. The name of the demons is fading.”
“It may be so, but more than that, don’t say that you’re fading while wearing the suits of strangers.”
“What about the suits of the strangers?”

Arras appealed as he tugged at his suit.

“They are the brave ones who dare to fight with their heads in the mouth of danger in this era of peace…! Their civilization deserves an example!!”
“Aha. So, why did you behave calmly when you changed the capital to the food of the strangers?”
“Hmph. Strangers are those who have fighting instincts more like demons than demons. We should emulate the weak things of today.”

In Pirard’s view, even strangers are fun-loving people who try to minimize risk-taking as much as possible.
He saw that they were not the ones who would cause a war that Arras wanted, but he kept his mouth shut for now.

“Ah… I look forward to meeting them on the battlefield…! Strangers will pierce my throat, and I will goug out their eyes…!”
“Ah. Yes, yes.”

Whew. Pirard sighed and looked at his watch.
The start of the congress is now imminent.

“It’s time to come soon…”

Kurrureuk.

Suddenly, the wall opened.
However, the two demon kings were not surprised at all.
I felt the flow of magic, and he always appeared this way.

“Huh…? Did I arrive earlier than the others today?”

A white-haired young man in a neat suit smiled refreshingly.
That outfit was perfect for a room where high-ranking officials were having a meeting, but the two demon kings snorted as they knew his true face.

He is not originally human.
He has a breathtaking appearance that is difficult to determine whether he is a living being or not, as if he has warped space.

That was the figure of a demonic entertainer who had been transformed by magic and a man who died at his hand.

Rank 12. The Demon King of Distortion. Twig.

“It’s too much to laugh at someone’s face.”
“How long are you going to stay like that?”
“As long as there is peace, continue.”
“Hmph. Then you’re going to be like that all the time.”

Arras snorted at him and Twiga shrugged his shoulders.

“By the way, where did the faithful go? The bathroom?”
“He hasn’t come yet.”
“Those guys? Why? Originally Pirad. Didn’t they arrive earlier than you?”

Twiga asked in disbelief, recalling the three most sincere members of the council.
Arras answered.

“It looks like everyone is busy with their work. Or maybe they are preparing for war.”
“Arras. You’re not ready either, but I don’t think they and that guy will do that.”

For a moment, Pirard laughed.

“It looks like the Demon King of Revelation told them something.
“Keukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukkeukuk

Twiga gave an obvious sneer.

“To hear the words of an old man talking nonsense from almost a thousand years ago…”
“That’s how much faithfulness to the true Demon King is.”

Arras said it with admiration, but Farad and Twiga disagreed.

True devil.

The god of demon lords who lost in the battle of the Ten Heroes with Pryu Nar in time immemorial, and at the moment of his death prophesied that he would return someday, then split his power into 666 pieces.

His existence was a myth and a law.
Okay. It’s a myth
It’s like a fairy tale from a distant past without a sense of reality.
He was said to be resurrected one day, but when the hell is that?

Most demon lords were skeptical.
How is it to be resurrected in the first place?
What will happen to the power of the current 666 demon lords, who are said to have split their power upon resurrection?

For demon lords with greedy tendencies who want control and profit, the true demon lord is no more than a tedious and troublesome existence.

At least, the reason they still show respect for the true demon lord is because of the existence of a living legend.
Arras asked about the living legend.

“Isn’t the invincible Demon King coming today too?”
“Pooh.”

Arras didn’t mean to be funny, there was pure curiosity and respect in his voice, but Twiga let it out.

Well, all the names of the demon kings sounded in that direction, but the invincible demon king had a more funny side.

“Refrain’ though? Twiga. And what if he ever comes here?”
“Oh my gosh. That man has only sent voices for thousands of years, but has he ever shown himself? And what if he hears it again?”

Twist it and kill it,” Twiga grinned.
Sensing that murderous feeling, the moment Aras smirked, all of a sudden! His suit was ripped open, revealing bloated muscles.

“A fight?! It’s a fight…!!”
“Oh. Calm down, it’s a muscle brain.”

Twiga chuckled and sat down in a chair.

“If those faithful people don’t come, then all that’s left is the demon king of a moody monarch, or that idiot, right?”
“Even if they’re like that, why are you excluding the four major demon lords? Are you ignoring them?”

Pirard sent a stern eye.

As a demon king belonging to Jin Yeon-ok and the 7th ranked demon king, he placed the other demon kings of Jin Yeon-ok, whose ranks were divided by the difference in territory size, at the same rank and considered only the four major demon kings as superiors.

He is famous for being strict with his subordinates, befitting his nickname of the demon king of the ranks, but as strict as he is, he is very respectful to his superiors.

Twiga was well aware of that, so she brushed aside Pirard’s wrath.

“Oh, how can that be~ These are the strong, respectable rulers”

Okay. Ruler.
The true demon lord was not an ambiguous illusion, but they were the true king of the demon lord.

Demon lords called the same Jin Yeon-ok. Twiga secretly looked down on them and looked down on them, but she broke into a cold sweat only for the Four Great Demon Kings.

But, that is it, this is this,

“Aren’t they selfish and don’t participate in the meeting anyway? Do you have anything to argue against?”
“…”

Pirard shut his mouth.
It is true that the Four Great Demon Kings are respectable superiors, but it is true that they do not attend this venerable and important Demon Kings Council.

Okay. None of the four major demon kings attend the council.
They said they would follow the agenda decided by the council if it was appropriate, and they rarely raised objections to the agenda decided so far.

“It’s like we, excluding the four major demon kings, are actually the nine demon kings of Jin Yeon-ok. Thinking about it makes me feel strange.”

He exaggeratedly moved his voice, and as if he had just remembered something, he took a deep breath and said.

“Oops. Eight people now.”

Pirad frowned at Twiga’s words, and Arras closed his mouth depressed.

“…Uh, what’s wrong? If you make that face, I’ll get depressed too. I’m sad too, but I’m forcing myself to pretend to be cheerful.”
“You’re really. Be careful with your words.”
“Huh. It’s unfair. It’s unfair.”

Contrary to what he said, Twiga put a sneer in his eyes and looked at the seat where the dead guy was sitting.

The main character of today’s agenda, Choi Joo-yo, is not even the bloody hero, but an idiot who is presumed to have been beaten by a strange stranger.
Inlith, the Demon King of Color Dreams.

Pirard sighed as he looked at the smirking Twiga.
He will only get into trouble if he sits for too long.

“I’m sure there won’t be any great people who will come if I wait longer. Then the council begins…”

Bang!

As soon as Pirad’s words began, she burst through the door and a blonde woman in a dark red cloak strode in.

The blond woman, wearing a huge, splendid crown on her head and a greatsword wrapped around her back, exclaimed, proudly sticking out her voluptuous chest that was about to explode.

“Leisure has come!”
“Oh! You’re here!!”
“…”
“…”

Except for Arras, the two demon kings frowned.
A troublesome guy has arrived.

Demon King of Monarchs. Anito.

‘The demon king of kings, the devil king of emperors, the devil king of demon kings, etc… A selfish tyrant.’

Twiga clicked her tongue.
He also did not take the council seriously and joked around, but he was nothing compared to this demon lord.
Without this guy, the council couldn’t function properly.

“Euhhaha. It’s been a while since you guys too. How is it? Are you ready to join Yeo’s command now?”
“Not at all. Your Majesty.”

Twiga sarcastically but he’s no hit at all. Rather, he laughs heartily and puts it on.
He is so infantile and independent, and he is so strong that he has no choice but to exist.
He just laughs and sarcastically laughs.
That’s when Twiga twisted his mouth and tried to open his mouth.

Inside the conference room, a woman walked in.

“Am I not late?”

Mighty.
Feeling of oppression.
Wrap around the room

“…!”
“Hmm…!”
“Oh oh…!”

Twig. Anito. And Arras exclaimed in amazement.

The rest one. Pirad, the demon king of the ranks, stood up from his seat before he knew it and put one hand on his chest and bowed his waist respectfully.

“What brought you to this humble place?”
“I’m also a demon king, right? I should definitely participate in the demon king council~ And that’s shabby? Talk too harshly, kid. The ancestors will cry~”

The name is the Demon King.
Well, Pirard thought he was good at talking.

She is a heroine who built an empire of pleasure businesses all over the world.
He is evaluated as having broken the limits of a dreamer… In a way, he is the most evil demon king.

There are many names for her to call her.
Demon King of Dreams.
Fantasy devil.
The king of emotions.

However, the thing that best describes her is her name, the demon king of illusions.

One of the Four Great Demon Kings.
2nd place in the sequence. Arvedia, the Demon Lord of Illusion.

One of the four demon kings participated in the council.
It was a long time ago indeed.
The monarch’s demon king, Anito, let out a laugh of joy.

“Uh haha!”
“Oh, why are you laughing Anito?”

Arvedia, covering her mouth with her hand, was clad in her glasses and a tight-fitting office girl.
Even Anito, the same woman, was bewitched by her erotic appearance, as if she was cosplaying.
Resisting the fascination, the monarch’s demon smirked and smiled like a demon.

“There was a level of improvement in leisure. She was just happy to confirm that…!”
“Ahaha! He’s still a fun kid.”

Seeing Arvedia and Anito laughing out loud, Pirad broke into a cold sweat.
I was worried that Anito wouldn’t bullshit her to come under her, but luckily…

“By the way, Arvedia. Do you have any intention of joining my command…?”
“Hey!! Yumma!”
“? Why are you doing this Pirard. Aha. Are you upset that I didn’t invite you first? You have a bad memory. As soon as I come in, I urge you to become my subjects…”
“That’s not it! What’s wrong with Arvedia-sama, why would she go under you?”

Anito opened her chest rather confidently in the face of resentment.

“Whoops. A ruler is someone who is tolerant, not the strongest.”
“I agree too♡”

Arvedia hugged Anito’s neck tightly and kissed her on the side.

“But it’s a pity♡ I think I’ve found someone to give my heart and body to~”
“What?! What an unscrupulous person!!”

Apart from Anito’s blasphemy, Arvedia’s explosive remarks also bothered others.
Who the hell did that selfish female demon king fall in love with?

‘This time, it’s probably just a moment of interest.’

Capricious, her likes and dislikes always changed. Thinking so, Twiga secretly peeked at Arvedia… Tsk and clicked her tongue.

‘I almost got possessed.’

She was naturally attracted to the sexiness she exuded when she was the highest level demon king.
Laughing at her own weakness, he saw her as one of the true Demon Kings.

“Do you know who the person you are attracted to is?”
“Yeah~♡ I’m here to tell you that… Huh?”

Arvedia, who had been humming her whimper, opened her eyes wide and looked at her front door.
Everyone blinks at her wondering why she is doing this… And is startled when the door to the conference room opens.

The reason I was surprised was because I didn’t feel any presence until the door opened.

The strongest in this world, all the demon lords who would look down on even the gods if they ‘ascended’, except for Arvedia.

Even Anito, who was evaluated as the strongest among the demon kings of Jin Yeon-ok, excluding the four great demon kings, was like that.
And what came into the room was… A shabby, ungainly, wrinkled old man.

His posture was at least upright, but he didn’t feel any strength from the man in the butler’s uniform…

Hehe!!”

But no one looked down on him.
Arras even let out a hearty laugh.

Even if these demon lords have no life, no… No life, they can’t feel anything.
Even if it’s just a bug, even if it’s a microorganism, no matter how weak it is, there is a power that can be felt.

The reason they couldn’t detect it was because the old man in front of them was far too strong.

Who are you?
While the demon lords were searching, there was someone who stepped out.
It was Arvedia.

“It’s been a while♡”

While most demon lords were wary, Arvedia shook his hand as if he was happy.
But she kept her eyes wide open, as if even she was surprised.

“Why did you come out? Mr. Amron.”

No matter
The moment they heard that name, the demon kings reacted in various ways.

Anito is greedy.
Arras has a friendly spirit.
Pyrad is respected.
Twiga is astonished.
And… Arvedia laughed.

‘What kind of wind did the crazy old man say?’

A demon king who doesn’t come out of his own domain, and doesn’t always come down from the 5th rank even though his domain is small.

One of the Four Great Demon Kings.
Invincible Demon King. No matter

What is more special than his two titles is that he is a living legend who fought a direct battle with the Ten Heroes ten thousand years ago and assisted the true demon king.

The only piece of evidence in the present age that proves that the true demon king, who was supposed to be a vague illusion, was alive.
A direct subordinate of the Demon King. Four Heavenly Kings.

“Or is it better to call you the Four Heavenly Kings? Oh, is it too old-fashioned?”

Pirad breaks into a cold sweat while alternately looking at the laughing Arvedia and the silent Amron.
He has the strength and character to never yield anywhere he goes, but he has to pay attention now…

Arras, that idiot seems to be thinking only of fighting, and Anito, who is not sure whether he is an idiot or bold, seems to be thinking of taking over again.
That moment when he tried to open his mouth thinking that Twiga would be a good match for him.

“Today’s agenda.”

As if breathing was difficult, the old man spoke word by word.

“What?”
“Well? I’m here to do my business.”

The arrogance of Arvedia, a descendant of Yale Arvedia, who is strong even at the same level.
However, Amouron did not show any reaction to Arvedia’s rudeness and looked at Pirad.
At the gaze of the Great Demon King, Pirad bent his back and answered quickly.

“Yes!! The first agenda is a discussion about including the ‘Demon King of Battle’ in the place of Purgatory, which has been empty since the ‘Demon King of Color Dreams’ has disappeared. The second agenda is about the ‘Cult of Exorcism’ in the realm of demons and demons. Response. And the third and biggest agenda is the discussion on the response to the ‘true hero’ Kaitsu.”

When Twiga heard the name of a warrior, he unknowingly snorted.

A true warrior?
Those unfunny things that all they do is take people who look like dragons and decorate them saying that they have been called by God.

Well… The guy named Kitz was a bit different.
Even though he is an alter ego, he defeated the monster king, and it seemed that he had even defeated the tricky monsters sent to the continent by the lower demon kings.

But that’s all.
That kind of bastard, even now, Twiga could easily kill him.

And surprisingly, Twiga came to this conclusion after coldly analyzing Kitz.

Kitz would also express disapproval if asked to fight Twiga in his current state.

Amron stared at Pirad at the word hero.
Pirard, who read the signs of interest in him, quickly explained.

“Unlike the previous heroes, he seems to have an idea to challenge us ‘real’ demon lords.”
“What! War! Ohhh!”

Arras. Shut up.
It was Pirard’s regret that he couldn’t speak out of his mouth.

“…Strong, is it?”
“…It’s unbelievable that he’s human. No matter how little he catches it, it seems to be at the level of the demon king of 1 Purgatory.”

Okay. 1 Purgatory.
There are only 100 top-level demon lords in this vast Elyunar.

That is, only that much.
It is said that the demon kings of Jinyeonok also belonged to the 1st Purgatory, but the difference in rank was greater than that of the universe.

“However, the speed of growth is phenomenal. After a few decades like this… I was thinking of preparing countermeasures in advance, in case it would grow to a level where a knife could reach us…”
“You’re pointing a knife?! Let’s leave it alone! If the knife touches, it’s our demons who return it!”
“It’s noisy…!! Keuheum. I’m sorry for making a loud noise, Mr. Amron.”

But nobody blamed the disrespect.
Just whoa… Whoa… Just breathe and watch.
Pirard felt the pressure and said.

“Of course, it’s impossible to judge just by looking… So I took some kind of action…”
“Let’s go to sleep. Wake up, Pirad.”

Arvedia straightens the bent back.
She put her arms around Pirad’s neck, who was sweating profusely. She looked up at Amuron and gave her an enchanting smile.

“You didn’t come to hear today’s agenda from the council, did you? Looks like you and I have something to say to each other♡”

Seeing Arvedia’s eyes, Amuron raised her head, looked at her ceiling, and opened her mouth.

“…Of the revelation, the Demon King said.”

Demon King of Revelation.
Twiga sighed in exasperation.

Although she is respected by countless demons by pouring out her prophecies, she is a demon king who is ignored by all the demons of the younger generation after she became senile saying that she would return in the last thousand years.

‘What the old lady said…’

“She’s not senile, she’s just waiting.”
“…!”

Mind was read.
Twiga broke out in a cold sweat.

“And, this time… That waiting. I said something important enough to put an end to it…”
“Ah~ Don’t measure, tell me quickly~”

At Arvedia’s urging, Amron spat out.

“Yuna.”

Silence for a moment.
Astonishment runs across the faces of the Demon Kings who soon understood the name.
Arvedia is the only one who enjoys it.

“It’s alive, it’s… It’s a shape.”
“Oh my. Didn’t he die like the true Demon Lord ten thousand years ago?”

Of the four heavenly kings, the direct subordinates of the true demon king, he knew that only the one in front of him survived.

“She was a woman, more like invincible than me, who was called the invincible demon king. That she died… Strangely, she thought, ji. She didn’t even fight with Pryu Nar.”

She was assigned to the rear, Amouron recalled.

“On the agenda, add, do.”
“Yuna…Let’s find that person?”
“It depends on the situation.”

Amron said fiercely.

“If it’s fine, seek it; if it’s miserable, kill it.”
“…”

In other words, let’s leave it as it is if it retains its original power and get rid of it if it’s weakened? Why?
Pirard swallowed a dry saliva.
At that moment, Amron asked.

“Ar, Vedia. What is your agenda?”
“Aha~ I’m also about a true hero.”

She whispered as Pirad hugged her neck tighter.

“To be exact, the companion next to him…♡”

Hearing those words, Pirad instantly came up with a topic that Arvedia would be interested in.
That is, the companion of the hero who killed Arvedia’s blood relative, Inris.

“…Are you talking about a sword of mad flame?”
“Radiant…!”

Arras was furious.
So did Pyrad.

Inris… Contrary to her frivolous appearance, she was a very sincere person.
Although he instructed his lower dreamers or human subordinates to perform perverted missions and absorbed his power, he himself maintained the dignity of a demon king and tried to clear the barren land that was his territory.

She was low in rank to the point of being at the end of Jin Purgatory, but it was not because she was weak, but because her territory was relatively small and barren.

He was strong
He was not just a great man to be beaten by strangers.

It was absolutely unbelievable that I was beaten by a nameless stranger who was not even the 1st to 3rd rank among the strangers, even the demon kings of Jin Purgatory, who were considered great.

Everyone thought there must have been some dirty trick.

And Enris is a distant relative of Arvedia.

Pirard understood that the demon king of illusions was so angry that he was finally taking revenge.
So he said it out loud.

“Even if that’s not the case, I was going to tell Amron-sama earlier, but it went well.”
“Huh?”
“I have already given instructions to test the true warriors and their companions.”
“Directions? What?”
“Five demon lords, including the demon lord of the first purgatory. They will fight the hero and his companions.”

Arvedia narrowed her eyes.
Actually, she didn’t mean to test it, she meant to tell him when she brought him.

But…

‘Maybe this will be okay…?’

I wanted to see him fight one more time.
He’s like a mad yaksha.

“Okay♡ Shall we start the council then?”

Arvedia snorted again.
The man in her mind. Dre came to mind.
