Chapter 1907 – [Hero & Demon King & Great Demon King]

There are 3Rs in ethical standards for animal testing. These are replacement, reduction, and refinement.

It is called to mean that methods other than animals should be used as much as possible, the number of animals used should be kept to a minimum, and the environment or experimental conditions of experimental animals should be improved as much as possible, but the situation before our eyes was cruel.

No, I can understand anatomy and things like that. Since monsters are the enemies of humans, we can capture them in a way that allows us to understand them, understand their body structure, and conduct research on such things. It’s a matter of survival, and I don’t say anything about it.

The problem is that they are now proceeding with the monsters still alive. It seems like the people doing the experiments there are doing it on purpose to cause pain.

Even if you want to say no, if you see people giggling and laughing and pulling out their internal organs, you will definitely say that.

“Ah.”

“Agape, cover your eyes. You don’t have to see.”

I too am thinking, ‘This is a bit…’, But how will Agape, who is the king of monsters and can communicate with them, be seen? Hell where people suffer and are tortured alive? If you felt it was more cruel than me, you would feel it, not less.

I tried to calm Agape down, but it was already too late. The momentum of agape began to change.

Mana fluctuates and accelerates. An unusual sound, as if her bones were being twisted, is heard from within Agape’s body.

The biggest change is that intangible, invisible power is spreading. Containing a weak will… A mental faction?

“Ahhhhh

And I screamed whether agape was due to the physical pain of the changing body or mental pain. Then the humans in the underground cavity discovered us.

“Who are you!!!!”

“It’s an intruder!!!! Catch it!!!!”

It’s a situation where guys who look like holy knights are rushing in, but I’m worried about Agape right now. Is this perhaps the fable process that the super-sized monster Drake spoke about before?

Perhaps because of mental shock, it suddenly seemed like a fable. I killed the attacking paladin by breaking their necks and calmed down Agape.

“Hold on to your spirit. Make your will strong. Can you control your mental waves?”

“It hurts… It hurts… I hate you… I want to kill you…!!!”

“I can’t understand what you’re saying.”

And Agape’s body suddenly grows.

I didn’t physically grow into an adult right away. However, Agape, who was a 10-year-old child, quickly grew to the size of Leona, to the point where she looked like she was in middle school or high school. That’s how strong she becomes physically.

But the biggest change is the mental part. The mental waves emitted by Agape became stronger and eventually, as if they had decided on a goal, they spread out in all directions.

“Humans… I will kill them all!!!”

Rumbling!!!!

The underground cavity rings. And then something huge began to approach this place, digging into the ground at high speed.

What emerged after breaking one side of the wall of the underground cavity was a huge cylindrical bug-like creature. It looked like a Mongolian death worm and began devouring the humans in the underground cavity with its huge, repulsively toothy mouth.

“This is my first time seeing this guy. Did he give orders using mental waves?”

It would have been inconvenient if the power to control the lower knight monsters had to be met directly and given orders. I don’t think God’s power is that limited.

The demon king who is like him can control monsters that are far away through mental waves, so he can control monsters even from a distance. Something like that Mongolian Death Worm was drawn by the spirit wave of Agape.

I used my energy sense to check the extent of the mental waves. It wasn’t so vast that it covered the entire continent, but even so, it was quite wide. At least, it was enough to cover an entire area beyond the Holy Land. Numerous monsters begin to flock to him.

Of course, even if you call right away, it is difficult to come right away because of the physical distance. However, monsters that can ignore the distance… For example, among the very large monsters, those capable of flight or high-speed movement responded to the king’s call.

“This is messed up. How do I do this?”

As for fainting… I’d like to avoid that. If you’re in a state of panic right now, it’s no different from forcing your computer to shut down because it lags. Of course, there are many people who do that, but if you forcefully shut down your computer in that way, it will eventually be damaged, so how much worse will the human spirit be?

In response, I reflexively looked at Agape’s life curve. It’s shaking a lot, but it continues. And I looked into the threads of fate and checked where they were connected.

The thread of fate was connected to the ground. If you think about the location, it is the square in front of the Pope’s Palace on the ground, and if you look at the detailed location using my senses, the target was connected to no one else but the warrior Leona.

This is the ordeal of agape. Since he was portrayed as a true demon king, he had to reach a conclusion with the hero in some way.

“Humans, kill.”

As Agape became able to communicate mentally, as if she could give commands to monsters through mental waves, she became imbued with the hatred and resentment of the monsters who suffered here, revealing her murderous intent. The good news is that they don’t show any hostility towards me.

Since Agape is a human being and not a creature of God, Agape’s attention is focused on humans on earth, so he focuses on that direction.

Without saying a word, a large monster like a Mongolian Death Worm broke through the ceiling of the underground cavity and climbed to the ground. At the same time, the monsters in the underground cavity also break open the iron bars and escape.

The stairs of the vertical passage we came down will cause monsters to rise to the ground and wreak havoc. They will kill humans and follow Agape’s orders. Especially since these guys have a deeper hatred than other monsters.

“Okay, do whatever you want.”

It is up to the devil and the hero to decide. I had no choice but to help with that.

Agape made wings and flew up to the ground through the passage created by the Mongolian Death Worm. I, too, follow that agape and ascend to earth.

When I went up, I saw that the papal faction and the anti-papal faction were confronting each other as work was in full swing. However, in the meantime, a large demon comes up from the ground and screams.

“Keeeeek!!!!!”

“Demon, monster!!!! It’s a very large monster!!!!”

“How could a monster come to the holy place!!!!!”

“Kyaah !!!!”

“Run away!!!!”

As it was our anniversary, there were a lot of people gathered around. As those people piled in and ran away, it became a mess, and they had no choice but to be crushed to death, but I used my telekinetic powers to lift those who looked like they were about to die and throw them in an appropriate place. Fewer people will die from that.

It is said that it is the fate of the demon lord Agape to kill humans, but it is a bit uncomfortable when an innocent person dies due to a situation where he goes berserk under the influence of monsters who have been experimented on, and it is not his choice. Well, the guilty person is different.

Eventually, Agape turned her gaze to an elderly man wearing a colorful crown that looked like a crown. I guess that guy is the Pope.

What was the name?… Oh, there’s no need to remember it anyway. Because I will die soon.

“It’s you.”

“You, you can’t believe it.”

“Die.”

“Demon King!!!! How could the Demon King… Kwaaaaah!!!!!”

The Mongolian Death Worm swallowed up the Pope and the Pope’s faction around him. I had a certain level of skill and tried to block it with sacred techniques or resist it with a sword that radiated sword energy, but there was no way a human could withstand the situation when it was weighed down by thousands of tons in addition to a very large monster.

The Pope, who was the origin of all events, died like that. But Agape had no intention of ending with that, so after dealing with the Pope’s gang, he turned his attention to the other humans around him.

In that situation, Leona came to me. Because it is a sudden situation, what can I do?

“Worst!!!!”

“Leona, the situation is now messed up.”

“What happened?! Why now…”

“The Pope was capturing monsters in the Vatican’s basement, torturing them, and experimenting on them. When Agape saw this, he was so angry that he fabled him as the devil.”

“…”

“If you decide to do it, you will have to do it. I will clean up anything that gets in the way, so you two can work together.”

Some people ran away, but others, such as paladins and battle priests, began to take out their weapons due to the appearance of demons and the demon king Agape. I’ll probably help Leona practice agape.

And in the sky, giant monsters summoned by Agape begin to appear. I don’t know about other monsters in the distance, but those capable of flight arrived quickly, and just now there were three or four of them flying in the sky and screaming, but those monsters are quickly coming down to the ground to kill humans as ordered by Agape.

There are plenty of things to stop. Those tasteless guys. Would it be useful to turn a fateful fight into a dog fight?

Think about it. It’s not in good form for a demon lord to lead his forces and attack a warrior, or for a hero to lead a group of knights to attack a demon lord. The current situation is that they are going to war with each other, but that does not mean that everyone is dying, so we have to suppress them one by one and prevent them from interfering with the fight between the two.

“I’ll leave the agape to you.”

“… I could kill you, I could kill you.”

“Well, I guess not.”

The life curves of the two people fluctuated greatly and intersected each other, but at least they did not reach the lower limit of death. In short, neither of them will die.

Even if we thought they would settle the matter, it may be a little too early, but it has already happened and we cannot stop it. So it’s better to let the kids fight among themselves.

Leona nodded her head and drew her sword. She creates her armor and wings with sacred law and rushes to Agape.

“Support the warrior!!!!”

“Priests, the Holy Law… Huh?!”

“You guys don’t disturb.”

“Krrrralalalalala!!!!”

“Same goes for you too.”

Paladins and priests trying to help the hero, and huge monsters trying to help the devil.

Regardless, both are given one shot at a time. It didn’t take long to sort things out, as each one of them fainted and threw the spoon away with just one punch.

Aside from the monsters, there was also Leonhard at the Holy Light Temple. He was surprised to learn that the Agape he had seen was the devil, and he had a complicated expression on his face as he saw me helping Agape.

Even though he was a sword master, he didn’t participate in the battle since he was missing an arm and was captured for a while, but he asked me why I was acting like this.

“Why on earth… Are you taking the Demon King’s side? No, you were raising the Demon King in the first place…”

“That kid used to be a good kid, but now he’s just going wild after seeing what the Pope did underground.”

“What was in the basement?”

“They were conducting biological experiments on monsters. Very cruelly.”

“Oh my god, holy light…”

He told him to go down himself, but Leonhard, who did not know what had happened, sighed and looked for the Holy Light.

If you think about it, what on earth did the Holy Light God mess up to create a situation like this?… If you don’t show your face after work, you’ll look like the White Goddess from your past life or the Morarian bitch that Eden kidnapped.

I secretly turned my attention to the fight between Agape and Leona. The fight between the two, combined with the sword master’s power and each other’s abilities, is like a disaster, and every time they clash, the Pope’s building shakes and shatters.

Kwaaaaang!!! Kuuuuung!!!!

“Come to your senses!!!!”

“I’m going to kill them all!!!!!”

Previously, Leona was overwhelmingly stronger than Agape, but Agape, who was fabled as a true demon lord, was on par with Leona. The whole body transformation and the strength of the transformed body were several times higher, so much so that Leona was pushed out in terms of specifications.

When the two first met, Leona was able to kill Agape, but she could not bring herself to kill Agape, who was a girl who looked younger than her. But now there is no need to worry about that, he looks like he is the same age and has awakened into a true devil and is going on a rampage to kill people.

If Leona kills Agape, it would be a situation where she can kill without guilt. But Leona didn’t do that.

“This is my second time fighting you, but I don’t want to kill you this time either!!! If there’s anything else, I couldn’t do it that time because I wasn’t good enough, and this time it’s my choice!!! Even if I defeat you, I don’t want to kill you!!!!”

“You…”

“So, you too make your own choice!!!! Whether or not to kill a human being is not influenced by anyone else, but by your own will!”

A firm belief becomes will and strength. The light surrounding Leona’s body was gradually emitting stronger light.

Leona, who seemed a little pushed back, began to overwhelm Agape little by little. She would have been able to fight on equal footing with Leona if Agape had reacted more calmly, but now she is going berserk. She doesn’t have the spirit to deal with it calmly.

In response, Agape decided to pour all her strength into one shot. She flies up into the sky at once and takes a deep breath.

Dragon Breath. It’s like an extremely high-temperature flame breath that burns and blows away using an enormous amount of mana. Agape’s body is small, but it emits a wide range of breath, enough to set the Vatican on fire.

Kwaaaaa!!!!!

“Everyone, die… Ah.”

Agape seemed to come to his senses to some extent, but it was still not enough. Still, since we’re almost to the end, Leona also exerts her strength.

The sword she holds turns golden. It contains tremendous divine power and emits a light so intense that it is difficult to even look at it with the naked eye, like looking at the sun.

Leona shouted loudly as she swung her sword towards the pouring breath.

“Light!!!!!!”

A huge golden light extinguishes the breath and scatters the clouds far away. Agape, which was not hit directly, but suffered a severe blow just from being grazed, falls to the ground.

With that, the fight between the hero and the devil came to an end.
