Chapter 1928 – [Return of the Great Demon King]

Putting aside Ruri, who was freed from slavery and now able to hunt prey, and Argo, who became the target, we decided to go around rescuing the Earthling victims.

Of course it wasn’t quiet. This is because Ruri had not yet erased the slave emblem due to an interpretation problem, and the moment he went outside, the imperial citizens, who had turned into rioters, started to attack him with wide eyes.

Even though it was me, Nuri, who had the black crystal of freedom as his wings, was clearly foreign, but they didn’t really care. In the first place, except for Phantom, the judgment was done from above the Empire, so they don’t know what we look like.

“There it is!!!! There’s a slave there!!!!!”

“Catch it!!!”

“Family, I have a family, I need slaves!!!!!”

Even after going through all that trouble, you continue to be slaves.

That’s probably true since the Earthlings have now become Golden Goblins. I won’t kill him because he can survive only if he is alive, but the imperial capital is ruined in order to fight for it. The behavior of the people of the empire who were so united in their desire for survival was hideous.

“I wonder if the Earthlings saved in that way will save you. If you just rescue the Earthlings and ignore the threat of death if you don’t save them, that’s enough.”

“Give me the slaves!!!!”

“Yes, die.”

Whoa, whoa!!!!

I just threw my fist out and crushed the attacking rioters. There were people who were somewhat like wizards, but they were shattered to death with a single blow.

Even if armed soldiers from this world come, they will be no match for them. They are just rioters, which is not a big deal, but it is annoying to cling to them because they know that if they die one way or another, it will be the same. It’s no different from hitting Bae Su-jin, so they rush in to take Ruri away with the mindset that it’s all or nothing.

“Slave!!! Slaveeeee!!!”

“Please, please, I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die!!!!”

“Search carefully. If you see that you are going around looking for people from Earth who are not other Earthlings, you can see how much you care about them. If there was an Earthling who could save you, you would have gone there a long time ago.”

Besides the people Ruri and Argo gathered, there must have been people who were friendly to the people of Earth. Because they are not the only ones with proper humanity.

So, if the Earthlings were confident that he could save them, he would stay with them and not go around looking for wild Earthlings. Now that I see them doing things like that, I can clearly see what kind of behavior they usually have.

Kill all those who stand in your way and advance. They say it’s the same whether you die this way or die that way, but if you have to choose between dying right away and having a chance of survival later, some people choose the latter, so some of the rioters blocking the road ran away. But I’m busy with work, so I don’t track anything.

The place we arrived at was the arena we had visited before. Many Earthlings were already captured here, so many people gathered here to save their lives. However, it felt a little strange…

“These bastards!!!! They activated the security system just to save themselves!!!!!”

“Destroy everything!! Kill them!!!!!”

“As long as you live, you bastards!!!! You are just like us!!!!!”

It seemed that the arena employees and officials were staging a sit-in inside the arena building for fear of the Earthlings being taken away. As the facility was a facility, the security system was much higher level than other places, and there were already more than a hundred corpses lying around outside the building.

But honestly, I think there will be very few people from the Empire who will save the people of Earth who fell in the arena. Neither the arena officials who started the fight nor the spectators who laughed and enjoyed it are all bullshit.

First, we have to go in, but people are getting in our way. The security system seemed to be blocking the entry and exit of outsiders as something like a crackling electric shock occurred.

“But it’s meaningless.”

“Shall I put a force field on you?”

“Rather than that, it would be better to use my power a little. No, don’t waste the Lord’s force field carelessly.”

“In the end, it’s just the mind of the person using it, it doesn’t have to be used for the purpose.”

We passed by talking leisurely in front of a protective barrier that would kill an average person from electric shock the moment they try to enter. Although I did not exert any effort, Nuri’s power of freedom protected us and allowed us to be protected from external stimuli.

Such is the power of ‘freedom’. It frees you from all rules, whether physical laws or special abilities. In fact, Nuri was an inviolable sanctuary where he could exercise his abilities to the fullest.

On the other hand, if you want to interfere with the outside world, you just need a certain amount of will. Still, it is terrifying that its ability allows it to be free from the laws of physics, so it flies at the speed of light even though it is not Hanon.

Anyway, we entered the arena building. This is not a hunter

“Originally, we would have divided the floors according to their level and gathered fighters for each level. But now, the situation is the way it is…”

“It’s all gathered in one place for easy management. I get it.”

“Maybe so.”

Since she was a slave, her scope of activity was limited, so Ruri, who had never been here before, looks around the inside of the building and mutters. Because of the situation, Ruri’s voice contains a darkness that is not typical of Ruri.

“Arena… I heard that a person I know was brought here.”

“Have you ever heard what happened to that kid?”

“They say he’s dead. Most people would say that.”

“I don’t have anything to say…”

Afterward, we went up to the area where the arena fighters, or more precisely, the Earthling kidnapping victims, were located. Security and other personnel, who had prepared themselves as if they knew we were coming, blocked our path with weapons and equipment.

“Huh, how did you get in through the security system?!”

“Those guys just came through!!!! They’re quite a wizard, so be careful!!!!!”

“No, what the hell…”

I thought about killing them all, but I refrained because there was only one possibility. Although I am not Lot from Sodom and Gomorrah, there may be one or two of these people who treated the people of Earth well, so I had to refrain from killing here, even if only for their sake.

Instead, the power is revealed. He manifested his will and crushed his opponent with it. Thanks to this, the attitude of those who were hostile to us quickly changed.

[You guys. Kneel.]

“What?!?!”

“This, this!!! This is the Great Demon King!!! The Great Demon King!!!!!”

“Stand, stand, no way…!!!”

“Do you notice now? If we had come from somewhere else, it would have been just the four of us? We are the ones who came to rescue the people of Earth. So shut up and lead the way to the fighters.”

“Uh, uh…”

“What is it? Why are you being so lazy? I will let you die even if someone saves you, so take care of it.”

“No!!!! It’s this way!!!!”

“The slaves, no, the people of Earth are here!!!! It will be easy to rescue them since they are kept in one place!!!!!”

After all, proper oiling is required for work to be done quickly. Of course, the type of oiling is different depending on the situation and time, but anyway.

When I followed them into the place, I saw countless Earthlings locked up in a prison-like place. Their reactions were varied. Some were stuck in the corner of the prison, staring blankly at the wall, some were sleeping, and some were actively looking outside the prison to understand the situation.

There’s quite a crowd… They’re all murderers who have killed at least one person, but the emotional wear and tear is considerable. The guy who has eaten meat knows this well, and the guy who has committed murder knows it well, but if you think about that, there is no one who can follow me, so I had a rough idea of ​​their situation.

No, I was living a normal life, but suddenly I became a gladiator and had to kill people, or I would die. But if you have a sound mind or ethics, wouldn’t that be strange?

Among them, there were some who appeared to be at risk of suicide rather than murder. I feel really fortunate that I came now.

“I came to rescue you. Let’s go over there and rest comfortably. I’ll hear more details from over there.”

“You…”

[Great Demon King.]

“… I understand.”

The conversation went quickly because I spoke with a reasonable amount of will and confirmed my identity. They escape through the dimension gate I opened inside the prison.

However, there were people who did not move even if there was an exit. Their purpose was clear enough for me to suspect that they were deceiving me, but since they were filled with resentment and hatred rather than surviving in the first place, their purpose was understandable.

“What about you?”

“Can I just do one thing?”

“Please…”

“Yes, I understand how you feel. Untie everything and go.”

We proposed that the kidnapped people of Earth make a choice as a condition for the rescue of the people of Aiol civilization. If he wanted to save the people who treated him favorably, he decided to respect that.

So what about the opposite case? If you resent someone to the point that you would rather kill someone than survive, wouldn’t it be right to respect that too? Honestly, it’s so ridiculous that I tell people not to kill people, so all I can do is give them a compliment…

By destroying the prison’s main system, the Earthlings in the arena are released. Although they were bare-handed and without any weapons, their killing skills were better than theirs as they survived the fight of death and death.

“Wait a minute?! What are you trying to do?!”

“Nelson, you bastard!!!!! What?! It’s more fun to make close friends die?! Are you a human bastard!!!!!”

“Because of you, I killed my friend!!!! So die!!!! Die!!!!”

“You!!! I’ll kill you!!!!!”

“No, slave sentence!!! ‘Obey!!!!’, ‘Obey!!!’. What, what, why doesn’t the slave sentence work!?!?!?”

“Aaaaah!!! Save me, save me, boo!!!”

It seems like I’ve been holding a lot of resentment. The Earthlings, who attacked their opponents with their bare fists, were beating down the arena staff with violence of numbers and power, and were ultimately beating them to death. There were opponents who learned magic, but it wasn’t at a great level, and it was at a level that people who had risked their lives in the arena and survived could beat down if they decided to attack them.

Some of them tried to control them with obedience magic through slave sentences, but Nuri was watching them with a smile from the side. It looks like he used his power to break the spell that bound them.

Thanks to this, the people of Earth defeated the people they resented and made them idiots. There were some who were still alive, but there was no hope anyway, and even if they survived, they would die later when they were judged, so it was a meaningless survival.

“Are you finished? Then, let’s go.”

“Well, we…”

“They killed someone. We’re just here…”

“What? There are no humans among the dead here. Killing people in the arena is inevitable, so it can be taken into account. At least that’s what I, the Great Demon King, judge, so go and rest in peace.”

“Yes… Thank you!!!!”

“I will not forget the Great Demon King’s grace!!!!”

Roughly speaking, we were able to evacuate the Earthlings from the arena. The people of Earth who were treated as slaves here may not be all good because they are weak, but at least it is unfair that they were brought in out of nowhere and treated inhumanely… Instead, if they misbehave even after being rescued, they will be killed.

And the next person was Chang Gwan. We are moving there right away.

“Hmm?”

“What, I think it’s already been robbed?”

“As far as I just checked, there were other Earthlings. But the current location is… Ah.”

“What’s wrong?”

“The Earthling victims in Changguan are being transported to the Imperial Palace. Many Earthlings’ markers are heading that way.”

“Hey, it looks like they’re trying to gather slaves and try to survive somehow…”

“The action was quick. We moved right away, but if we missed it by such a long time, it seems like we had a good understanding of the situation and good momentum.”

“It seems like the emperor here has abilities. It’s just a problem because he sucks.”

The Emperor’s appearance during the broadcast announcing the dimensional invasion was that of a charismatic and capable monarch. Even if it uses people like slaves from Earth, looking at it objectively, it is a profitable business that gains public support at a low price.

So, looking at the dimensional kidnapped slaves, there was a possibility that Sienne would be found not guilty. It was a competent choice as a ruler… Although he was unanimously condemned for the dimensional invasion.

“I was going to put off the imperial palace until later, but I guess I have to go now.”

“Why don’t you give it a little time?”

“Why?”

“Currently, I have checked the location information of the Earthlings, and not only the Earthlings in the Changguan area, but also the Earthlings owned by individuals… So, permanently leased Earthlings, their locations are marked as the Imperial Palace or are moving. It seems that the Imperial Palace is gathering the Earthlings to deal with this. It is.”

“Hoo?”

The struggling pig was very funny, but aside from that, for us who had to rescue the people of Earth, if all the people to be rescued were gathered in one place, it would actually be more work. If we just rob the imperial palace and rescue the people of Earth, we can save most of the victims.

Of course, there will be a small number left, so you’ll have to go around and rescue them, but it’s obvious even if you don’t look at which side is easier.

“Let’s wait a little bit. About one night.”

“What if I make a fuss?”

“I know roughly what they’re going to do. If I have you there, there won’t be any problem.”

Do you think there is a possibility that the imperial family will gather the people of Earth again and send them back to Earth and ask for forgiveness for their mistakes…? It’s obvious what those bastards will do.

I tell them to struggle once. The only thing at the end is despair.
