Chapter 328 – War Victory

I read his thoughts while fighting.

He regretted that he was not born as a human and that he would end his life without being able to defeat the dragon.

Theseus is strong.
If the Great Spirit hadn’t been there, it would have been on par with me.
And he who uses the source of greed must be a useful talent.

“Serve you. It’s not even funny. My soul has already been sold to the devil, and many of my compatriots have been killed because of my ambition. If I serve you, it will not be good for you either.”

“No, you have nothing to do with this world anymore. Either die and go to hell, or go to the original world I lived in.”

“The original world…?”

“I am from another dimension.”

“Ha… But the contract is absolute. Even you can’t break it.”

“Hmm…”

The contract is definitely a problem.
Because there is no way to make a contract with the devil.

‘Ahyeong, could you ask if my older brother could cancel the contract with the devil or something?’

‘Yeah, wait a minute… It will take a bit of time and it depends on the level of the devil, but nothing is impossible with that level.’

“No, it is possible.”

“…”

Theseus hesitated at my answer.
Because he is a living being with life, of course he has the instinct to survive.

“Why?”

“Because I think you’re useful.”

“I have already committed many sins. Also, how can you trust me and lead me?”

“You just wanted to be strong and that’s why you sold your soul to the devil. Of course you have become strong, but you are still weak. So sell your allegiance to me. This isn’t faith. It’s a transaction based on the value you seek.”

“… Really. Are you really going to save me?”

“Okay. And I will help you make the dragon fall as you wish. The stronger you become, the greater your strength will be to me.”

“…”

“If you accept the offer, lay down your weapons and kneel before me. Prove your allegiance by doing so. If you do, you will be stronger than you are now. I promise you that you will be able to live longer and live a more comfortable life than anyone else.”

Theseus’ thoughts became more complex and his eyes began to twitch as he alternately looked at the sword he was holding with both hands.

“That must be true.”

“Of course. I promise you in the name of Kryne.”

Theseus threw away the weapons in his hands.

Then he came in front of me and knelt down and took away the magic that was wrapped around him.

“My name is Theseus. I will give you my allegiance.”

“Hmm. I can’t. You should just die.”

Theseus, completely defenseless.
I shouted good fortune in my heart and pierced his heart with the demonic spear.

“Keuhuhuhh…!!”

“If you surrendered meekly”

Blood poured from Theseus’ chest.

“Uh, why…!”

“Why? Did you forget that I can read thoughts?”

I read it clearly with my own eyes.

[For the time being, I pretend to be loyal and preserve my life. If you hold on like that, the devil will be summoned.]

“What am I going to do with a guy like you who sold his soul to the devil? Come to think of it, it makes no sense. Killing the same monsters just because you want to become stronger? A trash bastard like you shouldn’t die gracefully, but I’m busy so I’ll finish it quickly. “

“You coward…!”

Theseus, who was about to pour out the curse, was unable to continue.
Because he died

“I was going to save you if you really surrendered. Too bad.”

It would certainly be of great help if I ministered to Theseus, but he believed in the devil more than I did.
What then?
Have to kill

“Good job everyone. The war is finally over.”

“Wow… I didn’t expect it to end like this.”

Nayoung, who seemed dumbfounded by the outcome of the battle, said.
He must have understood our conversation.

“Why? Why? What were you talking about at the end?”

Yuri, who had no way of knowing the situation, asked.

Ah-yeong, who made a contract with the Great Spirit, was able to understand the words of the monster.
It seems that Riel was just as curious as Yuri.

“What did you say…”

Briefly explained.

“Oh really?”

“Yes, it looked pretty useful when used as a familiar, but it’s impossible to use it as a familiar if you have other thoughts.”

“Sorry, I misunderstood…”

“It’s okay, your sister can’t read thoughts like me. Anyway, let’s go back. The monsters will be waiting for you, and you will be busier in the future.”

“Huh.”

We went back the way we came and got out of the basement.

Of course, Theseus’ corpse was eaten by Hyewon.

And

[You have absorbed the source of greed.]
[The source is forming according to the greed of the owner of the source]
[0.001%]

From Theseus I absorbed the source of greed.

Monsters were waiting at the entrance to the basement, and they were waiting for something for us to return.

And I gave them the answer they wanted.

“Theseus, the head of the ruling power, is dead. The long war is over at this moment today, and the war is our victory!”

“Wow ah ah!!!!”

The soldiers shed tears of emotion as they put down their weapons and jumped and hugged each other.

“Thank you for your effort…!”

Tan came to me and said.
Seeing that his eyes were red, he seemed to be holding back tears.

“If you want to cry, cry. Everyone is happy, so what is the reason to be patient?”

“Hmmmm… It’s okay.”

“I will order the soldiers to prepare to return.”

War Wolf told me.
He showed signs of delight, but he kept his cool.

“No, let’s put off going back a bit longer. Let them rejoice for now.”

“Haha… I see. King and our hero.”

50 years for the monsters.
The three-week war has come to an end for me, and peace has finally come to this world.

And the attack of the subtitle is two weeks away.

∴

After the war ended, in one week I finished the war.

Declaring victory and giving speeches, leading soldiers to clear the remnants of troops, paying compensation to the families of the dead, arranging rewards for all soldiers, and taking care of things that should be done roughly and on the agenda.

In addition, grains and valuables owned by the ruling powers were brought back to their hometown, and they led the residents living in the ruling powers.

“Hmm…”

Sitting in my office, I was going through the papers.
This report deals with soldiers who became unemployed after the war.

Once my country was a conscription system.
Regardless of male or female, all monsters of the age considered as adults were summoned for each monster.

Of course, the war is over and the enemy country is gone, so the conscripted monsters can go back to their homes.
When I go back, I will help with farming, hunting, or take care of myself.

But the important thing is the monsters who want to continue living as soldiers.

I also like that someday when I grow to the level where I can cross dimensions, I have soldiers that I will call from this world.

But how to deal with soldiers who have no enemies?

Would you normally let them do national work such as farming or building?
Or will the soldiers be trained only to improve their skills?

“I think I should help the country in normal times.”

“No, the soldiers’ purpose is to fight for their country. Obviously, helping the country is also a part of the country, but I think we need to strengthen the soldiers’ strength in case of an unexpected situation.”

“Warwolf, now is the time to develop this war-torn country. There are 100,000 monsters who have volunteered as soldiers right now, and not putting in that manpower is a clear loss.”

“No. Why did humans perish? They trained soldiers every single day to keep each other in check, but it was not enough for the demons. It wouldn’t be strange even if the devil invaded at any moment. We must not be more vigilant because peace has come.”

I’m also quite worried, but the difference between Tan and Warwolf wasn’t easily narrowed.

‘Umm… What should I do?’

Once this is done, all urgent matters will be taken care of, and you will be able to return to the original world.
Although it seems that once he becomes the king of monsters, he will spend a longer time here than in the original world.

‘But isn’t everything like construction and farming hard work?’

The idea came to me out of the blue, and thinking about it again, it was pretty plausible.

“During the training process, soldiers should be trained in national tasks such as farming and construction. What do you think?”

“Hmm… It must be quite easy for the soldiers to train their stamina as it is definitely hard work. I am in favor.”

“I agree.”

“Okay. Then I will do that, and I will end here today.”

“Are you going back to the original world now?”

“Okay. As I said, I’ll be back as soon as I’m safe from the raid.”

“You must be safe.”

“Okay. Is your king Don’t worry about anything.”

“Yes. Take a look. Werewolf and I will fill Siwoo’s vacancy.”

“Hmm.”

After being sent off by them, I went back to my room.
The lovers have already finished preparing to return to the original world.

“Are you done?”

“Yes, the things I have to deal with myself. Tan and War Wolf will take care of the rest.”

“Then let’s go back.”

Riel uses the teleport and we return to the meadow where Pascana first warped us.

And right after we arrived, a warp gate opened in front of our eyes and we rode towards it.

“You’re back. How did things go?”

“All solved.”

“Ohhh… That’s a good thing. I would like you to tell me what happened.”

At Pascana’s request, he told me what had happened in Kreine’s district.

“Right. It worked out more smoothly than I thought.”

“Yes.”

“Are you going to become king after all?”

“Yes, it happened that way, so I plan to work as hard as I can.”

“Then you should start by addressing me with respect.”

“Yes?”

“You are no longer Cryne-niisama’s heir. A king and dragon who rules over a certain area. It means that you and I are on an equal footing.”

“But…”

“But it is not. It may be comfortable for you, but it may look down on other dragons.”

“… Okay.”

“Hmm. Weird feeling, but good. Bring what you have prepared.”

Pascana’s daughter, Kanna, uses her telekinesis to bring a box of hers in front of us.

“These are the 10 bottles of my tears that I promised.”

Inside the box were 10 water bottles filled with pure and strong mana compressed tears.

“Hey…Pascana, why is this so big?”

However, the size of the glass bottle was strange.
I expected it to be about the size of my palm, but each bottle was the size of my torso.

“Hmm. Ah, by human standards, that must be big. Why do you not want to receive it?”

“No… Hmmmm, no. I am fine.”

“That’s it. And I decided to teach you dragon words.”

And the promised second reward, dragon words.

“Huh.”

“Come close to me and put your neck on me. I will let you use the dragon language.”

As Pasca had instructed, she approached him and held out her neck.
He moved his front paws slowly and his nails? His claws reached my neck.

“You won’t be able to breathe for a while. Be patient as it will be over soon.”
