Demon King of Phantom Thief – a Betrayed Thief Stole the Stats and Skills of the Hero Party Then Reigned Over the World

The Four Heavenly Kings are special among the Demon Kings.

Each possesses the ability to overwhelm other demons and mankind.

Summoner Deanna specializes in human sea tactics with clear brains and subpoenas.

A swordsman (Saberman) Ginroe with no one in line for martial arts and military service.

Black Magic Instructor (Dark Mage) Alleyra Qualitator with a wide variety of magic and control abilities.

And one of the best things about Black Reaper, Musketeer (Gunslinger) Victor.

- It's covert.

Skills [Misunderstood] cannot completely block signs like [Hidden].

But no matter where you are, it's not surprising, and it's hard to spot you using your skills again.

It is also characteristic that it can be activated for quite some time.

Viktor activated [the confusion] to make his way through the gates of the Astran Empire King's Capital.

The appearance of a worn black coat with a black hat also doesn't catch my eye if I have this skill.

The king's capital of the Astran Empire was more neat than the Tristram kingdom.

Urban development based on national plans makes it a linear stone capital.

Guards in blue uniforms may also be standing on the corners.

Still, there was a cluttered life of folk grass in it.

Middle-aged women chatting.

Hurry foot small-time boy.

A merchant who slowly pulls his luggage...

Viktor watched them while walking appropriately hanging out.

And when I found a place to stay, I took a room there.

- [Audio enhancement].

As soon as I activate my skills, the talk inside the inn will come into my ear.

"It's hard to see vegetables soaring..."

"Tell a traveler like me..."

"I mean, she wasn't a big woman..."

When he heard the story of being exchanged throughout the inn as one, Viktor went out of town again.

Walk quietly through town again.

As such, [hearing enhancement] was activated when stopping in front of an inn or liquor store from time to time.

"The Continental Ichi sake is delicious and the Continental Ichi Meshi is bad in Astran..."

Viktor listens to boring rumors and stupidity and heads back to the next place.

And one day passed, two days passed, three days passed...

On the day that comes and the day that comes, Viktor walks quietly through the inn and the tavern.

"I knew it was a divorce. So from the start I..."

"Give me a glass of water, I just..."

"So how do you care about the general..."

Bang.

Viktor opened the liquor store door vigorously and went inside.

"There you are."

No one cares if you don't ask for one water and just go in the back.

That is the power of the skill of [Misunderstanding].

………………

The second floor of the tavern was in a private room.

It's a room for men and women to snooze and tell stories they don't want people to hear while enjoying their drinks and meals.

As a result, the walls were thickly constructed so that no voice could leak.

- [Audio enhancement].

"... we have our limits alone. You can't leave the general out of this. We need someone who can give orders to the army."

"The general is opposed to this two-front operation. Don't you have all the ingredients to make me care?

"But if you don't have the prospect of a coup success, you won't be moving. Some kind of push..."

- [Miscellaneous], disarm.

At that moment, the talking in the room stopped.

………………

Silence of the Dimension - and.

Bang.

When the private room door opened, a man popped out.

The man circled behind Viktor, poking a knife thickly wrapped with cloth around his back.

It is a procedure to make the cloth suck blood and leave as little blood on the floor as possible.

"... how far did you hear!?

Only killed my voice, the man said.

"Everything..."

Viktor answers flatly.

"Then I'm sorry."

The man turned his hand around Victor's neck and dragged him inside the room.

The door closes quickly by another man.

There was already a blanket in the room.

This would also be to leave no marks of killing.

There are eleven men.

They wanted to stop by and pushed Viktor down on the blanket.

"I'm sorry, but it's for justice... I'll have you dead!

A relentless knife can penetrate Victor's throat.

Paki.

………………

The man stares at the knife broken from the roots.

"What are you doing! Hurry up!

The next knife was handed to the man and now he tried to slash Viktor's throat, but the knife only slipped through the white side.

Viktor gently twisted his pressed arm and grabbed the arm of the man holding the knife.

"Don't get so excited... you can't kill me with a knife..."

"Grrr!!

The man, who was grabbed in the arm by a force like all-powerful, raised his voice unexpectedly.

"Sorry, did it hurt..."

Viktor stood up and picked up his hat as he gently pushed the men holding down his entire body.

Pay off the dust of the hat flat, roughly the men.

………………

The men took a step back and each took a knife out of their nostalgia.

"Don't waste it..."

"Who are you?

"Me..."

Viktor said as he put on his hat.

"I am the one under the Demon King, the Four Heavens King... the Musketeer (Gunslinger) Victor..."

"O... the world is lost!

One of the men is slashed with a knife.

Viktor grabbed the blade with his bare hands.

………………

In Viktor's hand, the knife shattered and spilled to the floor.

"This guy's not human. Eh!

"I thought you said that earlier..."

The man with the knife crushed, buttocks on the spot.

"You came here to kill us knowing our plan..."

"The Demon King knows that there are people like you..."

Viktor reached out to the man.

On a man's face, there's a black shadow.

Viktor said quietly.

"Do you want power...?

On the temples of a man, cold sweat flows.

The light coming out of the window, the shadow its light makes on the faces of eleven people, strangely emphasized the silence that flowed on the spot.

………………

The man, naturally without Viktor's hand, stood up alone.

"Put the knife away..."

The man said.

He seems to be the leader.

"But......!

"This guy is a man who can kill all of us alone if he's willing...!

………………

The men have missed the knife.

"Surely we crave strength. If that's what you're doing... I don't even hate working with demons!

The man let go.

"I want power, so much that I can get my hands on it from my throat... but what the hell does a coup in my country have to do with the Demon King?

"The profound thought of the Demon King is not to my knowledge... the order given to me is to succeed in your plan..."

Viktor floats the orders given by Keith in the back of his brain.

'Help and protect them. If we fail the coup, there will be no one left to kill that force'

Based on that word, Viktor said.

"If you fail, you will all die..."

Together, they quieted down again.

If the plan fails, lives will be targeted not only by the government but also by the Demon King.

It just sounds that way.

"You mean we no longer have an escape..."

The man bit his teeth.

The coup d 'état is no longer only a matter of peace in the country, but also one directly linked to the lives of themselves and their men.

"What does the Demon King want... help with the coup, what's the price?

Hearing that, Viktor thought it through.

(Consideration… other than a successful coup, the intention of the Demon King…)

Viktor followed Keith's words from the past in his head.

'You can't piss them off...'

"You'd be pissed if Ginroe and Alleyra were sent in a box, too, wouldn't you?

"Did the living guy put it in the coffin too!?

The fatal failure I made - when I got it, it was Keith's word.

………………

(The Demon King was mourning for putting the living into sheep...)

Viktor gave thought to the woman who was trembling in search of water.

"It's Ellada..."

To the words of Viktor, we bowed our heads together.

The name of Elada Colette, if she were to put herself in the army, there was no one she did not know.

A soldier from the 13th Regiment, trapped in a coffin and nearly starved to death by the Emperor.

(I don't know the name except for Elada. But now it's time to do Tomorrow correctly...)

That's what Viktor said.

"Give me Ellada's life."

The men breathe.

Rumor has it that Elada is gradually recovering.

I also heard talk about taking care of Abigail Turner, who lost her sanity.

- But the peace between the bundles was meant to be picked by the Demon King.

"You demon......!

The man stared at Viktor and told him to throw up.

At the same time, however, its eyes were gleaming with a hunch that the less promising plan would go a long way.
