9th Circle Lord

Late night. Austin's mansion.

With the full moon darkened, Lutter pondered which direction he should go in the future.

Once I tried to become a god, I did not intend to follow the path of the Demon King.

In the first place, he and himself were all different.

First of all, I didn't want to follow someone's flower fields without any effort, and most importantly, I didn't intend to give up the path of 10 circles.

‘You don't have to be forced to copy. Plus, there's a goal. ’

It was still a long way to be a god.

‘I'm only on the starting line now. There is no need to rush. ’

It was a goal I had to aim for one day, but Luther took a long breath.

There was no need to be impatient.

He calmly thought about what he should do right away.

Luther's gaze deepened.

‘One must remain. ’

I had a reason to stay in the human world.

Ener.

This psychic ability was necessary to himself, according to the advice of the Demon King.

In the end, communication with existence is important to expand Ener. Then you need to trust yourself.

There are challenges.

Communication requires practical interference, as previously done for children.

This means that we must be tied to the human world immovably.

Luther seemed to know why the Demon King created a church and made his men gods to control the world.

Daily interference makes Ener less efficient to expand.

That's why I put out a representative to spread religion.

Luther pondered here.

"Shall I also build a church? ’

I couldn't do anything if I wanted to.

In the private sector, it still miraculously regards the divine power.

It was not difficult to become a god after being an idolater by being omnipotent.

Efficient yet simple.

As I was pondering, the children came to mind.

Recalling the unseen gaze of trust toward himself, Luther shakes his head.

‘Religion is ultimately a technique that takes precedence over efficiency. ’

It is a unilateral way of communicating falsely. Luther didn't want to do that.

I also read and interacted with the opponent's mind through Ener.

I did not want to use pure good faith for this purpose.

‘Then there's one way. ’

Be respected and trusted and in a position to govern all.

‘There must be a way to be king or emperor. ’

There is a way to become a monarch, if not a religion.

But this is also a problem.

‘New power flows with blood. ’

Luther knew more about the cause of the war than anyone else.

Much of it was a new power that was trying to bring down existing power.

I couldn't step on my own blood again, trying to take my foot out of the war.

The conflicting Luther nodded within.

‘I want to be in a position to govern people, with only moderate power. ’

The only option he thought of was in the end.

Provincial lords.

A king who has power but is able to carry many people according to his abilities.

‘First, let's start with the provincial lords. And we need to slowly increase the population. ’

The more ether is present, the more useful it is. Therefore, I intend to embrace many people as much as possible.

You have to bring people in to do that.

The strands are getting caught.

However, there was one obstacle, not two.

‘The problem is religion. The Demon King's men, to be exact. ’

I could sneak in and take away what I had built.

‘We have to make people resistant to religion. ’

We must make them reject religion.

But if you seek Ener, you can't force him.

‘The best way is enlightenment. ’

Why look for religion?

It causes miracles.

But what if we complete that miracle in a form other than religion?

Luther considered that the perfect fit for the shape was magic.

‘Let's prevent the influx of religion with magic. ’

He got up in a determined position. Now that you've made your decision, it's time to execute it.

Luther moves in search of the evil spirit.

The evil spirit who sleeps on his nose causes him to struggle with the popularity he feels next to him.

“Captain? What are you doing this time? ”

Luther thrust through the evil spirit in his pajamas.

“Completely adapted. Naxanore's monsters are all human. ”

“Uh-huh. I'll take that as a compliment. ”

“I have work to do. ”

“What is it?”

“I need to play Austin for a while. ”

The evil spirit was puzzled.

“What does that mean all of a sudden? Didn't you say you were leaving soon? ”

“The plan has changed. For the time being, no, maybe I should play Austin for a long time. ”

A fluctuating evil spirit questioned the plan.

“If you continue in Austin's role, you may join the war, but do you want me to join the war? ”

“War doesn't happen. ”

Router's insistence murmured.

“I'll stop the war my way. ”

Router, who came up with the plan, executed the scheme he had devised.

Ambitious vision.

Luther, who escaped from the solitary mansion, headed straight for the Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Palace was huge.

On a wide plain, maze-like twisted structures converge.

The golden roof with the moonlight was glorious, and those who passed under it were neither day nor night.

And most of them were bodyguards.

The Empire's finest knights keep guard night and day, and the Empire's greatest wizards set up their enchantments to prevent them from entering.

Luther uses invisible magic to hide herself and enter the Imperial Palace.

There was a powerful shield in the air.

If you try to artificially break the shield, the alarm magic will work.

Luther used Blink magic to enter the shield while Invisible.

The place where he lightly overlooked the shield was the Emperor's residence, which was the deepest in the Imperial Palace.

The Emperor's Palace is night, day and bright. Proximity knights in the Imperial ranks have been watching everywhere with lights on and assassins hiding in the dark waiting for intruders.

Numerous eyes seemed to be caught soon after revealing the exterior of the palace.

Luther maintains the Invisible and begins to touch the Rune of Magical Power that emanates from the enchantment.

Modified runners maintained a protective shield, but the presence of Luther served rather to conceal it.

After destroying the enchantment through the crafted Rune language, you enter the palace.

In the middle of a line with numerous columns, silence encroached.

Luther relied on his senses.

Somewhere, an intermittent groaning came out.

The middle-aged man was shaking his body with a beautiful woman.

Luther knew the identity of a middle-aged man.

"Vasco III. ’

He was the current emperor of the Empire.

He waited for the Emperor's Maestro to end.

The Emperor, who had ceased to groan, directed his exhausted face.

“Bring water when your neck is dry. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

The woman withdrew and the Emperor remained alone.

Luther put sleep magic on the Emperor's body.

After a while, the blinking emperor falls asleep.

He did not remove the Emperor.

‘Anes won't stand still. ’

The Vasco Empire is the realm of Anes.

In that situation, she will live with her anger if she touches the emperor who exercises the influence of the entire empire.

‘I'm sorry, but I have to be a puppet. ’

Vasco III was a man of no exception but to illuminate the colours.

There was no special emotion, but for his own purposes, there must be an anomaly on his part.

Luther begins to engrave a magic camp on the Emperor's body.

More than half of them were runners he created.

When he was satisfied with the work, he recalled the face of Annes.

‘It won't be easy to fix. ’

Anes won't even think about the number of spikes, since he used his own creative rune.

Luther inserts the engraved magic scroll into the Emperor's body.

“Shuffle!”

The emperor, who was asleep, began to sweat with groaning.

Luther took the street from him.

After a while, the Emperor's secret escorts appeared.

The secret escorts politely watched the cold sweat coming from the Emperor's body, and were astonished.

“What the hell!”

“The Emperor bleeds! ”

Black blood began to leak from the Emperor's pores.

The escort commander said in a rush.

“Quickly announce the alarm and bring the priest! ”

Secret escorts have moved in haste.

With him the four corners became noisy and people moved in a restless manner.

Luther finally returned to Austin's home via teleport.

The next morning.

Demon found Luther.

His expression was strange.

“There's an emergency in the capital. The Emperor is sick. ”

“So?”

“Is that what the captain did? ”

“That's right.”

The Evil Spirit questioned the walking of the changed Luther.

“What's the reason? ”

“When the time comes, the Emperor will be found. Then, support me. ”

“Supporting? What do you mean? ”

“You'll know by then. ”

The evil spirit shrugged his shoulders as he kept his mouth shut.

“Well, let's do that for now. So now you're looking for the Emperor? ”

“Not now. ”

“This is it. It's hard to fit. All right. I'll go to the Imperial Palace. I'll see you later. ”

After the evil spirit returned, Luther found Kalua and Chiara.

“What's going on? ”

“I have something to tell you. ”

“What is it?”

Luther gave two men a meeting with the Demon King, starting with the dragon. He then increased his explanation of his changed plans.

Two people's mouths were opened.

“Oh, my God.”

The moaning Kalua looks at Luther with her swirling eyes.

“How the hell did you meet them? ”

“The pole and the pole recognize each other. That's not what matters. ”

“Isn't that important? ”

“Not right now. You guys have work to do. I have to share my rumors with Barkoz. There is a sorcerer who lives in the forest of sorrow in the southeast of the capital, and he is good at healing. ”

“Why?”

“Cursed by the Emperor. I'm the only one who can cure him. ”

Kalua giggles and laughs in vain.

“What the hell have you been doing without us knowing? ”

Chiara couldn't even shut her mouth because it was ridiculous.

“That's how it happened. ”

Luther laughed bitterly and revealed his plan.

“I intend to create a territory in the human world. I want you to help me. ”

“The human world? ”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“I must embrace my existence now. Humans also fall into that category. ”

“I don't know in detail, but I get it. But please explain later. ”

“Don't.”

Luther got up from the promised spot.

“Now, it's time to move. ”

Push out to the end of what you've done.

Luther entrusted Kalua and Chiara with the latter task and headed to the forest of sorrow.

Arriving in the forest of sorrow, Luther murmurs at the vast forest.

“I can't help it if it's too much trouble. ”

If you make a cause, there should be a story. Make the emperor weak and be saved by himself.

And I will persuade him to receive eternal life. There was a reason for Luther to do so on purpose.

The first was Anes.

Permission is required to occupy her territory.

However, she has no good feelings for herself.

So I had to take the emperor hostage and force him to negotiate.

The second was Ener.

If the reputation of the wizard who saved the emperor is known, he can gain people's trust.

Luther intended to lay the foundation for building Ener through him.
