## Chapter 1580 – Chronicles of the Sword Demon – Heavenly Demon’s Rampage

Archmage.

In the past, I didn’t really care about her and didn’t pay much attention. Wasn’t she just a psycho who sat in the library reading erotic novels despite being in such a high position?

It was best to avoid such strange women.

But now that I think about it, there are more than a few suspicious things about her. Something is very fishy. First of all, the way she suddenly disappeared at the end wasn’t normal.

Personal curiosity.

It would be good to know her identity. That’s what I thought, and I went down to the basement.

ㅡCreak.

Opening the door and entering.

“Archmage?”

I call her.

“Y-Your Majesty…”

The Archmage who turned to look at me seemed very nervous. She was already scared, knowing I was coming. But is there any reason to be afraid of me?

Anyway, she doesn’t look any different. Just as I remember her.

But.

“Huh?”

Now that I look at her, I can tell for sure.

“Hey. You’re not human, are you?”
“Huh? H-Huh?!”

The Archmage’s eyes widened in surprise at my words, and she didn’t know what to do. What is this guy really? This guy isn’t human? After a quick scan, I realized she was a species I’d never seen before.

What the hell is she?

Why is she pretending to be human and trying to get close to the Karga Kingdom’s royal family?

“You’re really not human, are you? You little shit. Tell me the truth before you die.”
“W-Wait! Your Majesty! It’s a misunderstanding! Please calm down!”
“Are you going to talk or not!!!”

ㅡGrowl!!!

“Kyaaaaaaak!”

The Archmage flew away as I roared and crashed into the wall. ㅡThump! Her experimental tools scattered everywhere.

“This bastard! Daring to hide your identity and plot something while pretending to be human!”

What the hell was she plotting! I will decide the level of punishment depending on the content of the plot!

This woman was not human from the beginning!

“I-I’ll tell you the truth! I’ll tell you everything, so please calm down…!”
“If you tell me the truth, I should calm down.”

ㅡSlide.

I immediately pulled up a chair and sat down. The Archmage, who was sprawled on the floor, also gathered herself and stood in front of me.

“Was reading erotic novels in the library a disguise?”
“Ah, no! Why are you suddenly talking about that?!”
“We met there, didn’t we?”
“T-That…”
“Tell me the truth.”
“That was a hobby! A hobby!”
“Is that so?”

A woman who isn’t even human has a hobby of reading human erotic novels? She is still strange and suspicious.

“Why do you have such a hobby?”
“W-Well, it’s a matter of personal taste… It’s not suspicious, so please. Don’t attack me.”
“Depends on your answer. Anyway, what are you? Why are you pretending to be human?”
“…I have no choice.”

The Archmage sighs.

“Since I can’t hide my identity… I’ll have to show you my true form. Your Majesty. Would you mind moving to another place?”
“Where to?”
“To a forest or mountain where no one is around.”
“Okay. Heavenly Demon Gate.”

ㅡWhoosh.

I immediately create a gate in the air.
Then.

“H-Huh…! A real gate! I knew it!”

The Archmage is greatly surprised.

“Surprised?”
“It’s really amazing… Anyway, let’s go.”
“Okay.”

I immediately cross the gate with the Archmage. The place we arrived at was a remote area. Deep inside a rugged mountain range where no human eyes could reach.

“Then show me.”
“Yes.”

The Archmage nods.

Suddenly.

ㅡHwaaaaaaak!

A whirlwind begins to rage around her. And I feel an intense aura of mana. The Archmage is enveloped in jade-colored energy.

And then.

ㅡKugung!

The barrier of energy swells.

“Oh.”

I clearly see it with my own eyes.

The Archmage is undoing her transformation and returning to her true form. It’s quite a strange situation, so I can’t help but focus. Let’s see, you little shit. What kind of race are you that you transform like this?

Thinking that, I wait.

ㅡChaaaa…

Soon the transformation begins to unravel.

And what appears is.

“Y-Your Majesty…”
“Wow.”

A huge green lizard.

With wings.

“What the fuck, you were a dragon?”

She was a dragon.

“Yes… I am from the Green Dragon lineage. My name is…”
“Don’t tell me it’s Le, Lerer? Emile? Something like that?”
“Lergeldaizer…”
“That’s right! Yes! That was it!”

I heard about it from Alaune a long time ago. I heard it when Alaune, who had just hatched, was talking.

Of course, Ari doesn’t know.
Because they are completely separate entities.

“How do you know?”
“I heard about it from Alaune a long time ago.”
“Alaune! Was she really resurrected?!”
“Yeah.”
“Oh my god…”
“I am your god, you little shit.”

The Archmage’s true identity was a Green Dragon? I was so surprised I wanted to jump up and down. Wait. Are there any dragons left? According to legend, there used to be dragons in the past, but now they are extinct.

“Wow. You’re a real dragon.”

Anyway, it’s so amazing.

“But I’ve never seen a dragon in my life? What are you?”
“That is…”

At my words, the Archmage scratched her head with her huge dragon claws and answered.

“I don’t know if you know, but I am the last remaining dragon.”
“Last?”
“Yes… In the past, the Lich killed all the dragons. I was a dragon who survived by sheer luck.”

That damn Lich is coming up again!

“So, after the Idol War, I hid my identity… wandered around… and eventually lived by entrusting myself to a human kingdom. Please listen to me. I will never harm humans. I have no intention of attacking.”

Certainly, this guy doesn’t seem to have done any harm. It seems she has been living as an Archmage just to survive.

“I just want to survive on my own without caring about anything. I swear I haven’t done anything…”
“That seems to be the case. Did you suddenly disappear because you wanted to live?”
“Yes… I thought the world was going to end, so I ran away… But in the end, Your Majesty transcended and ascended to become a god…”
“You knew the world was safe and came back.”

ㅡNod.

The dragon nods.

“Can I transform back?”
“Go ahead.”

ㅡCharrreuk.

The process from before is repeated, and the Green Dragon returns to being the Archmage. Polymorph. Does she set her own appearance? I can’t transform at all.

“I thought some evil race was trying to dominate the human world by pretending to be an Archmage and getting in line with the royal family.”
“What good would it do to dominate the human world… I just want to live my life doing what I want and living comfortably.”
“Living as an Archmage would be a comfortable life.”
“Yes.”
“Well, it doesn’t seem like you’ve done anything wrong… I apologize. I’m sorry for scolding you and sending you flying just now.”

I got angry first. When I apologized for that, the Archmage waved her hand.

“Ah, no! It’s okay! It’s a reasonable suspicion! But if you feel sorry, please…”
“Hide your identity?”
“Yes…”
“I will do that. In the first place, if you don’t commit any heinous crimes and pay your taxes well, you are also a citizen under my protection.”
“Thank you!”
“Then I won’t care about you in the future, so live while obeying the law.”
“Of course!”

I talked with the Archmage a little more and then returned to her house. She lives in a pretty nice mansion. She will be able to live as she pleases.

“Is this your workshop?”
“Yes.”

Because I scolded her earlier, the tools inside were a mess. But that was only for a moment. When the Archmage gestured, everything returned to its original state.

“Oh. Quick cleaning.”
“There’s no need to hire a maid. Then, Your Majesty… Huh?”
“Wait a minute.”

But as I kept looking, I saw a bookshelf over there.

Looking at it, it was full of only red books.

“Your Majesty?!”

The Archmage was horrified when I immediately went and pulled out a book.

“I knew it.”
“T-That’s!”
“They were all erotic novels.”
“…”
“And the author’s name is… Lerer. They’re all by Lerer.”

All kinds of erotic novels were on the bookshelf. The author’s name was all Lerer. That’s right. The Archmage was. She was making money as an erotic novelist.

“The Queen Who Loved Tentacles. The Female Knight Who Became a Sex Slave. The Saintess Captured by God. The titles alone are no joke.”
“…”

The Archmage couldn’t lift her head.

“Please… Please forgive me… Please…”
“I can’t do that. I have to read all of these.”
“Hic… Hic…”
“I’ll come back to submit a book report after reading them all.”
“Please save me, please!!!”
“Uh-huh. Is this little shit talking back to the Emperor? Tsk! Stay still! I’ll take all the books!”
“Nooooooo!”

I immediately took the books and left the Archmage’s mansion.

Come to think of it, I remember being in trouble because of these erotic novels when I ran into her in the library a long time ago. It’s time to pay her back.

“Hehehe.”

I’m not tormenting her.

* * *

The last place I’m going to visit today is Elven Forest.

Since the elves came to believe in me along with the World Tree, the elves have all accepted my rule. But even though it’s called rule, they are still far from being integrated with humans. So they are in a state of autonomy.

“Ah! Have you come!”

When I went to Shahran’s palace, Shahran ran out barefoot to express her joy. This woman really… keeps trying to stick to me like this.

“Hey, get away. Don’t come close.”
“You’re so mean. I’m always waiting for Your Majesty like this… Ah, really.”

Shahran was becoming more and more severe… Ah, really. I can’t hit her or anything.

“I’m so happy just looking at your face… Haa…”

Her face was already flushed red, and she was breathing heavily.

No.

I don’t see any women as women except for my own.
