Chapter 246 – I Am the Demon King

Kihehehehehe-!

A pterodactyl-like monster that roars and falls.
Thousands of monsters that appeared in Russia were wiped away by the Russian army, me, and Adele, who arrived.
Since it was an F-rank monster, it was very easy to deal with. It’s not a lot if it’s in the thousands or so.
However, there was one D-class monster that was the leader, and I tried to catch it alive at first, but Adele smashed its head with a vicious punch.
It means that they can no longer be secretly taken out and interrogated.

That aside… It was very fucked up. A fucking sound came out of nowhere.
It’s because Sehwa told me these words while Adele was fighting.
The portal that was opened right now was opened by itself in the Pandemonium without any permission.

Amon, Orvas, and even Garp only plotted a rebellion, but they didn’t open a portal to attack Earth.
This meant that there was someone who was completely out of my influence.
It is also a high-ranking monster capable of opening a portal with its own power.
If not, it is difficult to explain this incident now.

It seems that the influence has suddenly decreased, but the reason for this is probably… The pain I felt when I was wrapped up in Adele.
At that time, it was clear that the holy power of the rosario had an effect on my body.
My back hurts. My butt hurts.

-Mr. Jihyeok! Can I go back?

Adele’s question came through the communicator.
Hovering the fighter, I answered.

“Yes. Please come.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the portal inside the fighter jet emitted a flash of light, and Adele stepped out of it.
Seeing the golden glow on her fists, I wrinkled her face without her knowledge.
I hate the fact that it is embedded in Adele’s flesh. I need to make a hammer or something…

Adele, who came to me after she had unlocked her transformation, smiled brightly.
A look that asks for praise. I said, exhausted powerlessly.

“Well done.”

“Thanks. But today, really weak monsters appeared?”

“I see.”

“Tyrat must be very aware of our power, so why did we do such a poor thing? Did you hurt his head by any chance?”

You say it’s not enough…? Hurt your head?
I never thought the day would come when I would be cursed at by Adele as well.
I didn’t do it myself, but it’s very insulting. I will definitely find the monster that opened the portal.
I have to find it, tear it to pieces until my intestines bleed, and then hang it on the front gate of the demon castle.
Not. I’ll cut off his limbs, remove his eyes and tongue, and make him immortal so he can live through the ages.

“Well… That sounds pathetic.”

“Isn’t it? I am so ignorant.”

The more you listen, the more your vase will explode.
After roughly responding to the Russian military’s thanks, I turned the fighter.

“It was hard. Let’s go back.”

“Yes! It’s Supasiba today too! Mr. Jihyeok!”

“…. Yes.”

Adele has never been so annoying…
After trying to calm my burning stomach, I left Russia and arrived at the lab.

Sylvia was waiting for us, stamping her feet.
Even though the device was completed, he couldn’t get out and looked distraught.
Returning to the lab with dignity, Adele approached Sylvia and noticed her.
I wanted to comfort her, but since I was well aware of the Aether charging method, it seemed like I couldn’t bring myself to say anything.

After sending the two of them back to Tyler, I immediately contacted Marcella.

-Yes, Demon King.

“What is the situation?”

– I haven’t even figured it out yet. The queen is preparing to go to the demon realm.

I’m thinking of finding out for myself.
It’s best to sell footwork, but… I don’t feel good.
It seems like Sehwa will get stabbed in the back of the head if she goes to Pandemonium alone.

“Tell me not to go.”

-Yes…? However, there is a limit to the investigation here…

What? However?
See this year I let you go these days, and it climbs like crazy?
Is this a sign that my influence is fading?

“Is it disobedience?”

-Oh, no… I’m sorry… I’ll tell the queen not to go.

“How is the doctor?”

-You’re adjusting well… Now, everyday life is not too much.

“Great. Leave the care of the doctor to Sehwa and Yuria, and you come to the officetel in Handae-ri right away.”

-Me, me…? Now…?

“I don’t speak twice.”

I hung up the phone without hearing Marcella’s answer.
After that, without even tidying up the lab properly, I came out and started the car.

**

Thud!

Waiting for the elevator, I banged my head against the wall.
It happened when a young couple pushed me.

“Under…”

I burst out laughing and looked at them.
Two people riding an elevator without a word of apology.
To say that, I brushed my hair roughly and rode after them.

Judging from the red light on the 19th floor, the couple seemed to live here.
Let’s be patient because they’re the ones who give me money.
When I pressed the 25th floor and stayed still, I heard the man’s blunt words.

“You have to press the close button as well.”

Why are these bitches arguing all of a sudden?
I slowly turned my head to look at the couple.
Then the man shrugged and sneered.

“Can you drop by and then come over to my house? I have something to deliver.”

Ah… I guess you think I’m like an errand center worker.
His clothes were sloppy, and he seemed to have misunderstood as he was holding a small box with mechanical parts to be used in the officetel.

[The door closes.]

While I was thinking about this and that, the elevator door closed by itself.
Then came the sound of a man and a woman giggling from behind.
It was clear that he was laughing at me.

I blinked a couple of times as I stared at the ceiling of the elevator.
It was to reflect on why I endured such insults.
Is this also the effect of divine power? Did the rosario make me feel good?
It doesn’t seem like that when you see the anger all over your head…

‘I’ll have to try an experiment.’

It just went well. Because I needed a long term.
After losing my appetite, I pressed the emergency button when the elevator reached the 13th floor.

Beep-!

Then, with one long beep, the elevator stopped.

“Woah, what is it? Hey!”

The bewildered man burst into anger.
Putting the box down without a word, I punched the man in the face as he tried to grab his shoulder.

Wow!

Government in the right way.
The man who groaned and fell with his back against the elevator wall.
I placed both sides of the wall in the corner, lifted his foot, and lowered the man’s head straight down.

Puck!

With a short, intense, ominous sound of something being shattered, the man’s body trembled once before drooping.
A clear liquid mixed with blood flowed from the man’s nose.
I want something like brain water.

“Kyaaaaah!”

The woman, who had been taken aback by the sudden situation, screamed.
I blocked her mouth with violent force and strangled her neck, looking at the camera hanging from the ceiling.
Then the elevator restarted and went up to the 25th floor without stopping.

Ding-!

[The 25th floor.]

The door opened and it was Marcella who came out.
She asks after accepting the fainting woman in my arms.

“How are we going to deal with this woman?”

“Catch it. I’m going to make them into my family and send them to the demon realm. You can find out the situation in the demon realm through this year.”

“All right.”

I let out a refreshing breath.
I didn’t feel any guilt about killing a human.
It wasn’t awkward about the part of turning it into a monster.
The divine power only reduced the influence, but it did not change my essence.
I am the demon lord Tyrat.

**

I was drinking beer on the sofa when Marcella approached and knelt down on her.

“How is the woman?”

“I injected the demon king’s blood into it. It will take effect soon. Both the man and the woman were treated as accidental deaths…”

“And?”

“I’m sorry, Maou-nim…”

Marcella was apologizing for her questioning my orders earlier.
I said, watching her closely.

“Not. Things like that happen, too.”

Earlier, he was so angry that he treated Marcella harshly.
I felt sorry for her now that her head had gone cold.
Because I doubted the loyal being who resurrected me four times.
I should have been calm, but I was so excited because the situation was the situation.

“Even if I die, I’m still alive… Punish me… Punish me…”

Marcella almost crying and begging me for a stern punishment.
Having suffocated, I leaned over, grabbed Marcella’s wrist, and pulled her towards me.
Then she stroked the back of her hand as she sat her almost on her lap.

“Without you, I am nothing. Do I have to die?”

“Ah…! Demon King… I…”

“I’m sorry about earlier.”

“Sah, don’t apologize…! Maou-sama shouldn’t do that…!”

“Is it a sin for me to care for my subordinates?”

“That’s not it…! Huh…”

Marcella stopped talking and trembled all over her body.
It was right after I grabbed the tip of her tail and pressed her down.

“Sehwa must have listened to my orders, right?”

“Yes, yes… He just said he would… Help the doctor…”

“Come to think of it, even though I said I would give you a prize, you didn’t.”

“It’s okay if you don’t give it to me…”

“Who is it thanks to who came this far? How are you going to sleep today?”

Marcella’s face turned red.
I think I’m on the verge of going, as I can feel the dampness on my thighs.
Just imagining being held is like this… It’s always third-rate.

“Eh, Maou-nim… Now is not the time for that… We need to find out first from the Demon Realm…”

“How long does it take to do it once?”

“But… The other day, I’m sure the Demon King gave me a lot of time…”

Ah… Was it a problem trying to win the prize in one round?
I was wrong. I made a very big mistake.
I laughed at Marcella’s cute defiance and nodded her head.

“I get it. Who do you think is the traitor?”

“I don’t get it at all… But the first thing I thought of was Malpas…”

It was the same idea.
That sneaky bastard is really very suspicious.
The last time I went to interrogate the three traitors, including Amon, they didn’t seem to bend well to me.

But Malpas’s head rolls well.
It means that I’m not stupid enough to open a portal like this.
Or you could have twisted it one more time to do this.
To get out of the dragon line.
In any case, it’s certain that there are traitors… It’s best to start with the most suspicious ones.

“Find a few more people who are easy to clean up and make them into your circle. I will have to spend it with you.”

“Yes…”

Hearing Marcella’s answer, I bit her tail into her mouth and chewed it softly.

“Ahhhhh…”

As I felt my pants getting completely wet from the tide she spewed out, I felt sorry for myself for not being able to return to the demon realm even though I was a demon lord.
This is why Aether cloning is desperately needed.
Because there are monsters who try to bite me whenever they have a chance.

‘You bastard bastard… Know that if I find you, I won’t treat you well.’
