I hate the devil
Because the demon king stole everything from me.
He swore to devote his body and mind to the demon king, but he never forgot the evil deeds the demon king had committed.
But at the same time, I like the Demon King. Thank you so much for giving me a new chance.
If the devil dies, what will I look like?
Are you sad or happy?

-Empress Emilia 〈 Diary 〉-

●●●

“Leviathan?”

Emilia entered her barrier.
He single-handedly broke the barrier that would not budge no matter how much the demons attacked him.

The reason I came in is simple.
It was because Emilia had cut her barrier with her holy sword.

The barrier created by the power of the goddesses can be broken with weapons made with the power of the goddesses.
The holy sword made with Minerva’s power was the only key to break through the barrier.
Thinking that it might be possible, Emilia asked General Viper to unseal her sword.

‘Solve it now. I can’t even go in this state.’

Everyone in the castle was sent out at once.
Immediately after that, a large explosion occurred, and the castle was covered with a hemispherical barrier.
In order to save the demon king, the demons tried to break the barrier by mobilizing all means.

But it was useless.

Even if all the cannons were poured, there was only a strong smell of gunpowder, and there was not even a scratch on the barrier.
Numerous wizards, including Diana, were bombarded with magic, but they did not budge.
Even if the monsters vomited strong acidic liquids and flames, the barrier showed no signs of weakening.

‘Don’t say no, do it. Are you going to let Leviathan die?’

General Viper objected that she could not break the seal without Leviathan’s permission, but Emilia’s will was firm.

‘Do it now. Right now!’

Feeling so frustrated, Emilia grabbed General Viper by the collar and urged him to release it.
General Viper had no choice but to break the seal on the holy sword.

‘Ah, I see. I will do it right away!”

It would be enough to hear what Leviathan said later, but General Viper had no choice.

It is unknown what situation Leviathan is in right now.
I don’t know what’s going on inside.
We have to rush in now, but all means are useless.

So even if I had to take the punishment, I had no choice but to do it.
After all, the empress was subordinate to Leviathan, so there was no way she would betray her.
General Viper hoped that he was sincere in trying to save the Demon King.

I was worried that the holy sword would burn away as soon as I touched it because I had changed my mind.

‘Looks like he still has the qualifications.’

Nothing happened.
Even if Emilia grabbed the summoned holy sword, she did not face a terrible end.
Rather, as if she was glad to see her master after a long time, a tremendous light emanated from her holy sword.
It was so dazzling that General Viper thought that his eyes were burning for a moment.

‘I’m sorry to use it for something like this, but lend me your strength.’

Emilia was greatly relieved.
She was worried that she too would turn her back on the Holy Sword.
She was a goddess and said that she could not use anyone but her own lineage, but she was unsure whether she would remain her entitlement to her renegade self.

But nothing like that happened.
The holy sword did not abandon her renegade master. Promised to lend her own powers.
Thanks to that, Emilia was able to fully use her power from her time as a hero.

‘Haap!’

She struck down in a straight line toward the barrier.
The simple act of raising her sword up and then striking it down with all her might.
The power of the holy sword collided with the barrier, and the aftermath created by the repulsion spread widely.
The aftermath was so strong that no one could stand properly on the ground.

Then, when she heard the sound of something breaking, there was a hole where Emilia had hit.
It was a hole that only one adult could fit through.
Emilia immediately went inside.
General Viper and other demons also tried to enter, but she couldn’t enter because the hole in the road was filled right after Emilia entered.

And what Emilia saw after entering the barrier was,

“Leviathan?”

It was Leviathan’s body submerged in a pool of her blood and her head floating beside it.

“Yo, hero?”
“Why is the hero here… Weren’t you in prison?”
“You look strange. Something looks dangerous.”

The angels were greatly perplexed by the sudden appearance of the hero.

The fact that the hero was alive was known through Minerva.

‘The Holy Sword is a part of my soul. If something happens to the hero, he should come back, but he hasn’t come back yet.’

When the hero dies, the holy sword should automatically return to him, but it didn’t.
It is not known what state he was in, but at least he was not dead, Minerva guessed.

The angels assumed that Emilia was living a miserable life as a slave.
Because the demon king would not have left the hero who came to kill him.
I was even worried that I was being abused until I was about to die.

However, it was hard to see the warrior in a black dress as a miserable slave.

“What are you guys?”

And he doubted whether the woman glaring at them with cold eyes was really a warrior.
It looks like it’s going to bite your neck with just your eyes.
The angels, weighed down by the momentum, stepped back little by little.

“What is this again? Why is the hero aiming his sword at us?”

The appearance of the warrior filled with terrifying killings greatly frightened Jallant.

“…”

Lahat drew the bowstring without a word.

Now, the hero is out of his mind.
It wouldn’t be strange if they collide at any time.
It’s an unwanted picture, but I have no choice but to prepare for it.
Lahat aimed the arrowhead at Emilia’s head.

“What, Miriel? Should I fight?”

Spira with a rapier asked.
She never dreamed that she would meet a hero like this, and was so embarrassed that the hero might kill them right now.

He was waiting, I thought he would greet me as if he believed salvation would come.
A different situation is happening.
No one present here had any idea what to do with it.

“…”

And Miriel, who watched her silently,

“Everybody back off.”

He lowered his sword and fell back.

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

I don’t have the strength to fight the hero right now.
I managed to defeat the cruel Demon King a while ago, but it’s impossible to deal with even a hero.

Everyone is tired. Not only Miriel, but also the three people with the goddess’ weapons.
Fighting a hero in this state is tantamount to suicide.

But, why is the hero angry at killing the demon king?
Miriel was hard to understand.
Miriel found out what had happened to Emilia only after returning to her world.

Emilia passed Miriel and entered a puddle of her blood.
I didn’t mind getting her clothes dirty and sat on her knees.

She then lifted her head from the Leviathan submerged in a pool of blood.
Her hands were covered in blood, but Emilia didn’t care at all.

“Hey, West? Why are you so angry? Look at me.”

Leviathan had his eyes wide open.
A demonic face full of rage.
The blue eyes lost their vitality, but the will to kill the enemy remained.

Emilia was very saddened to see her running towards the enemy even though she was confident in front of her eyes.

“Look at me. Stop being mad and look at me, okay? Please.”

There is no answer. No matter how much she shakes her head, nothing comes out.

Of course. What can you say to a man who has become a corpse?
What Emilia was doing now was no different than playing with her corpse.

She was unaware of this and continued talking to Emilia.

“You decided to mix your body with me today. You were supposed to have a second one. No matter what you do today, I will accept it, so take it easy, okay?”

There is no answer.

“Or should I tutor Alyssa? That person still hates you. I’ll make you like me. So take it easy, okay?”

No matter how much I beg, there is no answer.

“And, and, and, and, and…”

No matter what Emilia said, she didn’t answer.

“…”

Silence flows.
Silence where no sound is allowed.
It is filled with silence as if time has stopped.
While holding onto the demon lord’s head, Emilia did not move as if she had become a statue of her.

“Haha…”

And laughter came out of her mouth.

“Ahahahaha, ahahahahaha, ahahahahahahahaha!”

Laughter of madness continuously erupted from the warrior’s mouth.

“Ahahahaha, ahahahahaha, ahahahahahaha!”

Full of sorrow and anger
I didn’t know where to go now, so I couldn’t catch her direction, so the sound of howling resonated throughout the barrier.

“Ahahahaha, ahahahaha, ahahahaha!”

No one has been able to stop this.
No, she couldn’t come close.
Even Miriel, who was closest to her, was frightened and could not reach out her hand.

“Ahahaha, ahahaha! What is this, what is this…”

Emilia glared at the Leviathan in her hand.
Although her face was stained with anger, strangely her eyes were full of sadness.
Tears that even Emilia herself couldn’t understand flowed from her eyes.

“For taking everything from me, for making me this way, for promising to show me what peace is, for promising not to abandon me forever!”

Everything was taken away
She took away everything she held dear.
She completely ruined it so there was no turning back.
She humiliated herself thoroughly so that she could not go against it again.
In order to make her an idiot who only looked at her demon king, Leviathan constantly tormented her Emilia, and she had no choice but to bow her head to Emilia, who could not bear it.

There is no answer other than that.
No matter how much she fights, she can’t escape him. No matter how much I hate it, he will never let me go.
No matter what, Leviathan will never let go of the hero, Emilia.
Until the end of this world he will never give up the treasure he has acquired.

Realizing that, Emilia gave up her resistance.
She volunteered to be his pet.
The necklace that bound her freedom had long since fallen, but her invisible manacle was fastened around Emilia’s neck.

“You broke everything. You ruined everything! So I had no choice but to cling to you! I had no one to appeal to but you!”

Everyone wanted to live a peaceful life.
I just wanted to live a peaceful life without war.
To achieve this, Emilia had no choice but to obey Leviathan.
As Diana said, she had no choice but to face reality.

The reality is that you have no choice but to obey the demon king.
The reality that the demon king has no choice but to conquer the world.
Clinging to such a person is the only reality that can make a wish come true.
A reality that would never change forced Emilia to bow her head.
Even if he had to be called a renegade by everyone, he had no choice but to do so.

“So I was born. You gave birth to my precious daughter! She wanted him to be a different king than you! You promised to make it too!”

Emilia, who gave up everything and entrusted herself to the Demon King, gave birth to Eris.
Eris, the precious daughter who inherited the lineage of the demon king and herself.
She believed that when the child grew up and he became king, she would fulfill her ideal.
She believed that she would become a warm king who knows how to give warmth, not a ruthless person like the demon king.

Leviathan also said that it didn’t matter if she took a different path from him.
She promised that Eris would protect her until she became an adult.

I did, I did…

Why did she die?

“Do you think I will like this? Do you think I’ll be happy with this? Don’t be funny, don’t be funny!”

It’s definitely something to be happy about.
Because I was finally able to break free from the bondage of the demon lord.
Because I was able to be freed from the most disgusting sexual slavery.

So you should be happy. We have to let everyone know that we can finally escape.

It has to be, it has to be…

“Ahahaha, ahahahaha…”

Why do tears keep flowing?
Why are you so sad?
Why does my happy image with this person keep flickering in front of my eyes?

I don’t know. I don’t know any more
He obviously hates Lee, but why is he always sad?
Did he really truly love the demon lord Leviathan?

“Hey, angel…”

Emilia turned her head to Miriel standing next to her.
With the empty face of her having given up everything, Emilia earnestly asked.

“Please kill me.”

There was no emotion in his voice.

“I heard that in the fairy world, fallen compatriots are always sentenced to death. I belong to that fallen compatriot, so it doesn’t matter if I die here.”

The voice of a warrior whose emotions had dried up was no different from that of a dying tree.

“Come on, let’s cut. No one will resent you. Killing a traitor is only natural.”

Please kill me Punish this sinful woman.
Kill him and make him an example to all.
Emilia lifted the back of her head.
She plainly demanded that her bare throat be slit.

“I’m sorry, Emilia.”

She couldn’t grant Miriel that wish.

“Ugh?”

Miriel held out his hand.
Concentrated her mana in her palm and used the magic on Emilia to force the opponent to sleep.
Emilia couldn’t resist and lost her consciousness.

“Eh, Eris…”

Emilia, who was about to fall into a pool of her blood, was taken by Miriel with both of her hands.

“If only we had come earlier…”

To think that a warrior who was called a hero would be ruined like this.
It was so pitiful.
Could I have saved it if I had come earlier?

“Everyone gather. Go back to the ancestors.”

Having completed their mission in this way, the death squad returned to the fairy world through the dimensional door.

Without knowing what fate they will face in the future.
