130 – Demon Lord Maker – 5
Ti passed, and by the ti there was only one day left until the final exams began, both the daily routine at the academy and the work in the demon world were finished. Was approaching.
In the end, I decided to only take the final exam, excluding the afternoon lecture and the magic theory lecture, which were not particularly aningful. Of course, the dungeon practice was an exception among the afternoon lectures.
There was another minor incident around that ti. The words I told Priscilla at the Succubus Castle also spread to other possessors.
Rosalia, who saw Priscilla smiling brightly in the club room alone, asked if sothing good had happened that made her look like that. Since she was not asked to keep it a secret, Priscilla told exactly what she had heard. This was the start of the incident.
Of course, Rosalia was not the type to sit still after hearing that, so it wasn’t long before Elysier and Laura also found out about it.
“Wow, I’m touched. I might have been a little excited that they were going to show a happy ending. Anyway, Mira, since you said it yourself, you can look forward to it, right? Yes?”
“It really is a grand yet sweet ambition. Good night. “I will do my best to look forward to the happy future you will bring.”
“I created the ending of this world, but you create our ending. “This is the perfect declaration, my dear.”
“Uh…… ?”
The other two responded by saying that they were truly touched, and Rosaria grinned and tried to make fun of with an unexpected look on her face, but she had already spilled water.
“…… Sorry. “I didn’t an it.”
In the end, when it was just the two of them left, he apologized profusely. It was an understandable joke, so I didn’t have any hard feelings.
If you think about the fact that Rosaria is the most mischievous among the four, it ans that her ntal breakdown due to her regression is small enough that she can still pull off such mischief.
For , that kind of reaction would have been more welco as long as it didn’t cross the line. Relationships like those with Priscilla or Laura that rely too heavily on aren’t very good either.
“…… “Then can we continue like this from now on?”
After comforting Rosalia a little more as she nodded and her face brightened, I returned to the demon world to finish what was almost finished.
And the demon world I visited in two days was completely different from what I rembered.
“I’m in big trouble. “The queen’s master.”
Clio was stamping her feet and not knowing what to do. As soon as I arrived, she quickly regained her composure. As soon as the other succubi saw , they ca rushing towards with faces that said they were now alive.
“Why? “What happened?”
“The undead have begun to awaken throughout the Demon World.”
‘…… It’s him. ‘Elder Lich.’
I sensed what was going on. The Elder Lich had begun to show his greed for the position of Demon King in earnest.
Otherwise, the undead would not awaken throughout the Demon World, and there would be no other demon that could control that number of undead.
From Noble mtl dot com
“There is sothing that awakened corpses have in common. Serve the new demon lord. He also said that those who do not serve him alive will be allowed to serve him in death.”
“It’s not particularly surprising. For so reason, I thought that would be the case. “Have you even figured out where it’s moving?”
“I’m not sure because reconnaissance has its limitations, but…… So also appeared to be heading toward human territory.”
“So? “To what extent is it?”
“It is estimated to be approximately 700,000 to 800,000. “They are all similar to Death Knights or one to two levels lower than them, so it’s not just that there are a lot of them.”
Nearly a million undead can only be lumped together with such modifiers.
Wearing the necklace, he told Elisier about what was happening in the demon world. Elisier, who heard the whole story, ended her communication in a cold voice, saying that she would inform the other three people as well.
“Cliona- Ah, the queen’s master! Outside…… !”
A succubus rushed in. I summoned Eternity, grabbed it, and asked back.
“Are you undead?”
“No. The 1st Corps Commander has arrived! “It seems like they brought the entire army with them!”
Fortunately, there seed to be no need to fight the undead right now.
‘I never thought I’d be fighting on the sa side with that Dullahan guy for this long…….’
It would be better than dealing with millions or tens of millions of undead alone. After putting the eternity back, putting on the hooded long coat and mask he had worn to hide his face, he went out of the castle.
A considerable number of ghost cavalry were lined up in rows. It was a cavalry unit, all riding black ghost horses, wearing black armor, and holding black spears and black shields.
Durahan, who was also riding at the forefront and holding a sword in one hand and a spear in the other, saw and jumped off his horse and ca towards .
“I know you were having fun, but now it’s ti to get moving again. “The situation is not very good, so hurry up.”
He clearly said no several tis, but he seed very certain that there was no way he wouldn’t touch the succubi while being among them. Since it was a difficult matter to explain, I decided to leave it alone.
“I know. I just heard about it too. “I heard it was done by that Elder Lich.”
“Yes! How dare he order to be loyal to him because he has beco the new Demon King! They said it was certain that the Demon King had passed away! On the topic of traitors! “This can never happen!”
The Dullahan couldn’t control his temper and hit the floor with his spear. As the ground split open like a spider web, the succubi scread as a group and hid behind . Cliona was no exception.
The Dullahan, who completely crushed the nearby floor, shook his arms in anger for a mont, then took a breath.
“I guess the only troops I can use right now are my Ghost Cavalry and the Succubus. All the others would have submitted to that traitor. “Honor is like sothing sordid that you don’t even know about.”
“We should leave out the succubus. These kids don’t really know anything about fighting. “If I call them out for no reason, it will only serve to increase the number of undead?”
I heard a voice of strong sympathy coming from behind . I really wondered how Astaroth let these guys into battle.
“Then the only real forces are the Ghost Cavalry and you alone?”
The 1st Legion Commander, Dullahan’s Legion, the Ghost Cavalry was trustworthy even in this situation. That was due to the difference between ghosts and undead.
The undead controlled by the Elder Lich reanimate dead bodies, but the Ghost Cavalry is a legion made up of ghosts that have died and wandered, so the Elder Lich’s control does not reach them.
That may be why it was organized into a separate corps.
“Do you have any ideas in mind?”
Durahan asked without hesitation, perhaps because he had cut down disloyal demons together, and because he firmly believed that I was a human who had betrayed his loyalty to the demon king.
“Well. I can’t rember anything in particular. But if there is, it will definitely break by one point. “The longer we delay, the more disadvantaged we beco.”
“I also agree. “It must be concluded as quickly as possible.”
Living demons will co back to life and attack you even if you kill them, and the undead are tenacious enough to not only take diocre damage, but even if you crush them until they are reduced to a piece of at, they will be reborn as flash golems.
There are as many of them as the number of undead that arose in the entire Demon World, the number of undead that the Elder Lich originally had, and the number of demons and demons that would obey the Elder Lich and attack him under orders.
It was a situation where there was no answer to gradually reducing the number.
‘It would be impossible to bring Leona.’
Now that it has been discovered that a ‘part’ of the undead army is heading to the front line against humans, Leona must be there with the Sword Saint. It was difficult to expect support from us.
“But I’m glad it’s easy to figure out where it is. “It’s the devil’s castle, right?”
“That’s right. “He was disloyal and set up his throne in the exact spot where the Demon King was sitting.”
“Okay. First, I decided on a destination. The next thing is to protect this place…… Cliona, call Nica and ask her to co here. “I also told her that if Beatrice stops her, she can tell her that it was an order from the master.”
“I understand.”
Cliona closed her eyes and concentrated her mind. Soon, not the maid Yustera, but the succubus queen Nika, wearing extrely revealing clothes, appeared.
“You called , master.”
Then, startled, she hid behind to avoid the 1st Corps Commander. As a Dullahan, it seed quite surprising that the Succubus Queen treated humans so kindly.
“…… What happened? Aren’t you human? “You can look at the succubus queen and still be fine.”
“Thanks to the Demon King.”
“As expected, you are the Demon King!”
It was fortunate that he was a simple ignorant guy who could only be convinced by simply saying that everything was arranged by the devil. She doesn’t have to think of excuses.
Clion asked to explain her situation and then snapped her fingers. White flas descended from the sky like a tornado and surrounded the entire Succubus territory.
As the entire area was filled with white flas, the succubi began to hesitantly retreat towards the castle. It seed like he was already frightened by her appearance and heat.
“It’s probably no better than a Death Knight. This should be enough to act as a defensive wall. Still, just in case…… “Nika?”
“Yes, yes! Master!”
“Untie the kids and see if there are any openings. If you feel like you’re going to be breached, don’t have any regrets and run away with the kids. Understand? Don’t try to stop for no reason. “If the undead co through that, you will never be able to stop it with your own strength.”
“Yes. I’ll keep that in mind. But to do that-“
“I know. You need a regular schedule. “I’ll give it to you later, so tell them to divide their roles and stand guard first.”
“hehehe, yes!”
Nika smiled and led the succubi toward the castle. Even though he may seem innocent, he will do his job well, as he said he has read Queen’s mories through succession.
She turned her head to the ghost cavalry. In the original work, they ca to visit in a majestic manner, but when Dullahan died after a diary conversation with Leona, they all dispersed and disappeared one after another.
Even if it was a temporary relationship, it felt strange to be fighting with sothing like that.
“What do you think? “Are you ready for an honorable death?”
“Did you just say it was an honorable death?”
Dullahan imdiately showed interest. He also didn’t have the slightest interest in dying.
“In a situation where it is obvious that we will lose no matter who sees it, in a situation where the enemy’s numbers are ridiculously high and our numbers are extrely small, and in this hopeless situation where we are not sure if we can win, the only remaining thing left is loyalty to the master. If charging for hope isn’t an honorable thing to do, then what is? “If a death like that is not an honorable warrior, then what else?”
“Oh, definitely…… ! What you say is truly true! “That would be the most honorable death for a knight!”
Perhaps influenced by the commander of the corps, who raised his spear high above his head and roared, the ghost cavalry’s morale also increased rapidly. The ghost horse raised its front paw or swung, and the rider slamd his weapon against the shield.
“Death to the disloyal traitor! For the devil! For honor!”
‘Maybe I should have just told you later.’
He hasn’t even said when he will leave yet.
