Chapter 131 – -130- Coming Threat (5)

As long as the victory was confirmed, the battle with the hero was only a process, not a struggle.

A simple process for the glorious and flawless victory of the demon king Luciferia.

Since victory and defeat were decided, what came more important to me as the demon king was the content of victory.

‘How was Luciferia able to defeat the warriors?’ Not

‘How did Luciferia fool her warriors and achieve a flawless victory?’ Was the really important question.

‘Victory is already in my hands…’

My people have already given me information worth their lives through covert reconnaissance.

‘I bet you didn’t even notice… They’re like incompetent things’

It was hard to believe that they were my adversaries, and the party of warriors were complacently guarding their information.

As long as we knew the next destination and movement schedule of the warriors, it was entirely in our minds when to attack them.

The people who made the heroes of each continent as originals were subordinates that she liked.

Unlike the flesh monsters who were only strong and stupid, they are perfect minions who are intellectually brilliant and impeccable in power.

‘Together with these children, the entire continent will be ruled by demons for a thousand years…’

With a satisfied expression on my face, I looked lovingly at my fellow beastmen who knelt down and reported to me.

Based on the information they found out, the family prepared a plan to attack them and informed me.

“…If we lure them deep here, in a narrow hill, and then attack them from the inside and outside at the same time, what can they do when their retreat is blocked?”

The exemplary attitude of the family to choose the place and place to fight in advance and engage in battle made me excited.

“It’s good, you did a lot of work. My child. But…”

Extending my horse’s tail, I crossed my legs in the opposite direction, bowed my back, and asked my subordinates.

“Is there any need to attack them from the inside? I think it’s a little unnecessary…”

In her operation, it felt like there was too much unnecessary preparation in advance.

In particular, I didn’t know if it was necessary to create a fake traitor and have one of my followers accompany the hero to the Devil’s Castle and then betray him at the decisive moment.

“There is a reason”

“Tell me. Is that an act worth the effort?”

“Yes, because the victory I present to my mother must be flawless.” Even when I questioned her, she answered me in a loud voice as if she had confidence.

“Hmm…?”

I can see the trembling ears. My family members were excited as they explained their plan.

“The warriors should not even be allowed to fight hard. In the epic song of mother’s victory, they should not even be given a chance to fight back.”

“Ohh…”

Now that all that remains is to annihilate the warriors and how to dominate the continent, I thought it was quite important how to annihilate the heroes as she said.

Unlike other demon lords, leaving a history of easily destroying warriors with both resourcefulness and force was quite in line with my taste.

I, Luciferia, will become the worst and worst demon king for mankind. If I win not only from her powerless side, but also from her resourcefulness, wouldn’t she prove that I am superior to the previous demon king?

“Overwhelming despair. They must drown quietly before the overwhelming difference in power.”

As if asking her permission to continue, she flicked her tail and looked at me.

“…I’m listening.” I nodded my head and ordered the followers who were passionately preaching the importance of the plan I had devised to continue.

“Even though they are arrogant, stupid, and weak… They are the most elite of human forces. If they were prepared to die for the final blow, we might be hit.”

She growled, baring sharp fangs.

“You shouldn’t even be given that opportunity.”

My child worked hard to convince me that I thought this operation would be scrapped.

“…Is there anyone in your family who can deceive the heroes and delay their betrayal?”

As if she had anticipated my question in advance, she gave a smooth answer.

“Yes. I’ve already thought of a child who fits the role.”

“Hmm…”

I pretended to be worried for a while, but my mind was already inclined to one place.

After a short pause, I commanded my people in a soft voice.

“Permit it. My child, in my name… Give them overwhelming despair.”

“…Excellent One, for your victory, I will offer this one body.”

Wagging her tail, she kissed the back of my hand.

‘It’s an interesting ploy… Whoops, it’ll be a great entertainment’

I united bloody demons and created a familiar that would become my eyes.

‘Be my eyes’

The fist-sized, crimson flying monster that received my order pursued my followers who left to follow my order.

***

The lonely princess of the desert. Elahe was my original.

Arrogant, undisputed, arrogant ruler of the desert.

Like her personality, I didn’t like the role this prisoner brought me.

“…Really, this is what Mother ordered?”

Didn’t like it. No matter how much it’s postponed… Surrender to them?

“Yes, it’s an operation approved by my mother.”

Defeat… It was a word that made me feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Perhaps because of the influence of the original, I didn’t like giving them a win at all, even though it was necessary on a tactical level.

To give them a deeper despair, but to lead them to a more miserable defeat through fake victory… Well, can’t you help being instinctively reluctant?

It was a cheeky bitch talking to me with her fur upright and spilling her demons.

“Stop, it’s already been decided. You’re not going to rebel against your mother’s will, are you?”

‘You’re like a cheeky hairball, so you can earn your mother’s trust with one achievement and go on a rampage…’

“It’s not… It’s not…”

Even if it was my mother’s order, it was unpleasant to lose to an opponent who was not even equal.

“You’re not asking me to play a difficult role, right? Your life as a prisoner won’t be too long.”

‘It’s not a problem to live in captivity, it’s a problem to have to act as if you were defeated and obeyed by humans…’

“There must be other members of the family…Why did you choose us?”

I was not confident. Just thinking about it makes the internal organs twist, but can I really do that?

Ugh, it looks like it will show through… I wondered if I could portray the obedience that I didn’t have in my heart.

“…From what you’ve heard, you said it would suit you best,” Grunted the cheeky bitch.

“Who? Mother…?” I asked her out of curiosity.

What aspect of me is the basis for a role like this to suit me? I shot it with protest.

“…” She didn’t answer, looking through the binoculars at the group of heroes.

“Heh, is that your own judgment?” I told her with a lot of her irritation.

“Stop it, I don’t have time to argue with you over such trivial matters. I’m coming… Get ready to go out.”

‘A cheeky bitch…’

In the middle of a procession coming in on a narrow street corner, I threw myself.

Kugoong! A roar rang out, and when the dust settled, a group of warriors were seen on alert.

‘Is that man…’

I didn’t like the way he looked at me with a relaxed expression. Even when the spine is folded in half, will that expression come out?

‘No, not yet… According to Mother’s plan, that man is the center of the party… We have to give up and surrender…’

I thought about the role once again, but it was a disgusting role.

‘A battle-crazed Mine who was inspired by his strength and decided to follow the hero’s party… Will that kind of acting really work…?’

According to the plan, the man at the center of the group, Leon Souders, was a man full of self-confidence and a desire to show off, so he said he would accept it unconditionally if I surrendered.

‘Huh, if you’re wrong, well…It’s enough if you knock them all out. For now, let’s follow Mother’s order.’

If I did my best and the smoke didn’t work, I had the confidence to deal with everyone here and get myself out.

Hoping for that ending in my heart, I cried out in a loud voice.

“Hero Leon Soders! I’ve come to check your strength!”

***

‘Ohhh… As expected, my family members have eyes to see’

Demon lord Luciferia was appreciating the performance of her followers through her familiar hidden among the grass.

‘I heard that he prepared a suitable role… Huhu, now I know that my child has such outstanding acting skills’

The role that cloned the hero, Elahe, was showing great acting.

At first, the acting, which started with a clumsy voice and awkward posture, was gradually rising.

‘It’s wonderful, to read the opponent’s trajectory in advance and only launch attacks that can be defended’

My subordinates were adept at controlling their strength, and were attacking while considering how the opponent could defend themselves.

The facial expressions were also great. As if he was really upset that his attack was blocked. He continued his offensive with a little crying and a little frustrated expression.

It was she who was pushed back in her taijutsu, which she was confident in, and began to deliberately allow her blows, showing her amazing performance.

“Keuk…!”

‘Umm, it’s acting that doesn’t shy away…! Really great’

She played the part I had assigned, even allowing her fist to her tender belly.

Perhaps to make her defeat more probable, she did not spare her own body and returned her fists not once but several times.

“There was a role that was arranged in advance, that’s what you said. You’re showing really great acting…”

Looking at her now, she had the illusion that she was being pushed back despite fighting with all her heart.

Even from my point of view, knowing the whole story, how would it look to the warriors?

After being beaten several times, my people knelt down to him, pretending to be weak.

‘I never thought that kid would be such a great actor…’

“I lost… I lost… ♥ Save me… ♥” Contrary to her reluctant expression, when she entered the actual battle, she fooled him by acting out an extremely submissive attitude.

‘What a great performance…!’

As written in the strategy, Leon Sodus, a cocky male, seemed to believe that he could rehabilitate the people he had subjugated.

“Kuhhh…!” Watching him dragging his horn and carrying my people inside the wagon, I was able to confirm that the operation was a success.

‘You’ve been fooled, Leon Souders…! Whoa… She will grow into a blade that will devour you from the inside…!’

Can you confirm the loyalty and acting skills of the family? I felt satisfied. The success of the operation seemed to be visible before my eyes.

Congratulating her on her great performance, I toasted her from the top of the castle.

‘Hold on for a little while, because of your false submission… The warriors will collapse…! Whoop…!’
