Demon King

Chapter 32. Growing Guild 8

In the process of the dungeon disappearing, I wish the surrounding terrain were restored evenly, but neither the world nor my abilities are that friendly. I didn't feel like getting a spotlight at the center of a ruined farm, so I started with Katsuragi and me.

I quietly left after practicing my stealth skills on myself.

[Amazing. How did the commander acquire so many abilities?]

“With Mana's tendency to flow through your body, I think you can, too. ”

[All I can do is interfere a little with nature. And a little bit of physics. From the moment I was born until now, I've become stronger, but nothing dramatic has changed.]

“That is, from birth, it is a parent. ”

This is crazy luck. You are no different from Elakatra, except that you don't recognize yourself properly.

Katsuragi believes she is the most unhappy person in the world, but if she says that to Cain or Yichanyuk, she will be beaten to death.

In any case, he does not know his objective position or even himself well. It has a past as a human, but in extreme ways it is not much different from a newborn. Unfortunately, the most similar thing to him is his age.

You, I will teach him.

After concealing his appearance, I released the only secret compartment applicable to me and purchased a bottle of the most valuable wine still produced in Bordeaux. Katsuragi watched as she smiled and said something.

C.

[The world is ruined, and you're thinking about buying it for a high price.]

“It's human nature. Alcohol is the most legitimate and beautiful refuge a human can choose from. ”

Of course you're lying. It's not just Humans who use alcohol as a shelter.

Although a little distance away, I stopped in the province of Cognac and also bought the most famous Cognac brandy. I hesitated and bought two bottles.

[It looks like you're picking out a gift from Eunuch.]

“Eunsara, perhaps. ”

I learned a lot from them about the struggle for a new life, and I could never be wrong. With a bloody smile on my face, I opened a gate into the air.

“Follow me first. I'll explain about me, you, and the Earth there. ”

But the basement was a mess.

“Hey, don't eat the walls! ”

“Chief, looks like the crater's been breached in the expansion area! What do we do?”

“There's talk of Lizardmen ignoring the origin of the weak dungeon.... ”

“I heard you ate one. ”

“You ate?”

Trusted Dwarves were running around carrying tools. The wall was rising in a distance farther than I could remember, and within it was a double or triple wall.

Meanwhile, the monsters that used to make up one dungeon were packed, and the tree spirits that would have just gone underground were building gardens inside the walls.

“He's back. ”

“Who's Granny? ”

“Fate.”

[Captain!?] “Captain, you're late! ”

Cain sprints to the ground in a loud thump. I saw him sitting on his shoulder. I understood the situation and asked for him briefly.

“What's going on here? ”

“It's like a sink that hasn't been washed in a month. ”

[It's like a spider web that the owner left the house.]

In fact, I smiled bitterly at the right expression. As long as they're not fools who they're blaming.

“Yes, I was wrong. ”

I should be leading them right now, but it wasn't so sudden that Dwarves familiar with this mess were moving more aggressively than I thought.

Soon after I jumped into a situation with Cain and Lee Chan-gu, I soon turned my eyes to a new person around me, not much to blame me for. Lee Choon Yuk was already tired.

“And what about the handsome one? ”

[Katsuragi Yuuta. You can call me Katsuragi.]

[The Chosen One.]

“You're very strong. Why are the new recruits stronger than me? Oh, not the Elven Lady. ”

“Fight and you win. He's been trapped in the dungeon boss's room ever since he opened his eyes. ”

“Fate!”

Mirena shows up, jumping hard at me, not by anyone. He glances at Katsuragi, roughly picking her up, but he only stares at her.

“Katsuragi?”

[…….]

I didn't understand why I was losing my horse for a moment, but I barely thought of what Lee Chan Yuk said.

“Commander, let it go. If you haven't seen Miss Elle yet, maybe. ”

“Ah.”

Well, the existence of the Elf is unique to Humans. Maybe the Elves are the ones who think of the most when they hear the word fantasy. His visions were cruel to me, so I decided to let him go.

“Anyway, since you're a member of the Rivelion, please take good care of it. Let's talk about the rest after we get them sorted out. ”

“Come with me! ”

You hang Mirena on one arm, who doesn't want to stick to me, and move her feet to the side where the dwarves are most busy moving.

Katsuragi follows us through the air, wondering if she's at all fascinated, and Cain and Yichanyuk followed behind him to see if he was going to talk to Katsuragi a little more. Eventually, the entire Rivelion is on the move.

“There you are, Fett. Help me over here."

“Alec.”

It is true that because I overthrew so many dungeons, the area underground has expanded to an incredible extent compared to that of the Horseman's Night. But there were so many monsters that they could all shoulder to shoulder and sing.

The problem was that they did not. We needed to clearly divide the sections of the monsters and rebuild the walls.

Salvation is that Dwarves are accustomed to such a series of labors. I thought I wouldn't have to borrow their power until the Horseman's Night, but my delusion seemed to have slipped away. Now comes the time for their voluntary cooperation.

“Thank you.... Are you the only ones who've been working? ”

“Just you, who else...? Ah, those high lords. ”

Alec, who points to the constantly soaring castle. Somehow I looked quite tired.

“He doesn't talk to us except for the man who's acting like a butler. If nobility exists in modern times, that's what they're saying. They're taller than you, aren't they? ”

“He's just a partner. Not yet.”

But it is also more closely connected than anyone else. I couldn't tell Alec that one by one, so I just laughed.

“I'll get him out. If their strength increases, it'll be over soon, right? ”

“If we can control the monsters that are spreading across those vast realms, we can make their homes, walls, and traps perfect within a week. ”

“Good.”

First of all, when I took Mirana away, Katsura also naturally fell apart. Cain and Lee Chan followed.

“I'm working first. ”

“Tsk.”

[Oh, I see.]

Rain basically doesn't work. It's his biggest job to clean glasses, pour me drinks, and manage the shop.

Many encounters with me make it easy to miss, but never actively move. It was the horse's night when he used his greatest power. In other words, he is quite passive.

“A human brandy. ”

“It's pretty special, among other things. It is produced exclusively in French cognac and is commonly referred to as cognac. ”

So I pressured him to deliver the bribe I had prepared naturally.

“You don't need to see it. Very good quality. Nothing beats any of Haiter's booze. ”

“I'll give it to you.”

“Are you giving it to me? ”

I met the rain and saw his impressive face for the first time.

“Cognac…… would be a good collection. Thank you.”

“Vee, how long until the next horse's night? ”

“I see. Maybe two weeks. The underground fortress has also grown in size, so maybe this evening is really tough. ”

He sighed briefly.

“This is dramatic evidence that the basement is beginning to connect to the ground. At least Fate is returning it to the basement, so I don't know what the outcome will be...... but I really didn't expect this. As many uncertain factors,

Personally, maybe you should just leave it to me this time... ”

“No, I don't want to run. ”

“Well, I didn't mean it like that... ”

His gaze turned outward. Now.

“So do me a favor. You know what I'm talking about. I want to use those monsters. ”

“But I'm skeptical. Will those inferior beings really help...? ”

“It will be. ”

I said with conviction.

“And things that don't work that way will be fertilizer for other things. ”

“…… If you say so, I'll help you. because I've grown a little bit more empowered. ”

Expansion due to the absorption of dungeons is not a feasible practice of free force in that area. In other words, it was like eating a lot of food right now. It takes a long time to digest them all completely.

The foundation.

“Then I'll ask you first. I'm going to see Eywa El. ”

“Ai is just waiting for Fate to talk to you first. His pride won't break against anyone other than Fate. ”

“I had a rough idea. ”

I knew where Ei was. He didn't seem to have any intention of hiding his movements. It was El's stronghold.

“You really like it. ”

“Shut up.”

With that said, he reached out his hand to me.

“Give me what you have prepared. ”

“What, did you know? ”

When I handed him the Cognac, he accepted it without making any changes to his expression. It must have been a mistake to feel relieved somewhere.

“I know what you're going to say. Despite my inexhaustible worth, I am furiously aligned with yours. So I'll play you whatever you want. ”

“Don't pressure the dwarves too much. ”

You can see what happens when Ei and the dwarves face each other, who have no intention of concealing their energy. However, whether my words were offensive, Ei firmly said.

“Pressure is the act of those who do not believe in their own power to bring the opponent to a lower position than themselves for peace of mind. And I never wanted my opponent to be weak. The stronger the enemy, the happier I get. ”

“Okay, I'll fix it. Give them a nice smile so they don't freak out. ”

“Fett's jokes are always the worst. ”

With the cold wind, he hides his movements. I think I heard screaming outside, so I thought I was joking. I sighed and took a step back to the place where El, the last ally, was waiting.

“No.”

I handed him the wine, but that was the answer I came back with. Before asking why, El said with a fat face.

“Not all men are like you, Fett. ”

“What's that supposed to mean? You think I did you a weird favor. ”

“Phew.”

She sighs as if I'm mistaken.

“You know that power and reason are not always proportional. ”

“Of course I know that. ”

“They all do. ”

I turned my head and looked out the window and saw Lizardman running over the walls, moths roaming through the air, gardening spirits, rhinoceros rushing, monsters like him, monsters, and geese swimming in the lake.

“The charm I can't control will drive them all mad. ”

“…… indeed. ”

I recalled her overwhelming power on the horse's night. She changes the landscape by being alone. But it now serves as a double-edged sword.

“In combat situations, I can get that excitement into battle, but I can't right now. I don't want to indulge in such unpleasantness. ”

“I know exactly what you're going to say. Clearly, your powers don't fit the situation. ”

I stood up.

“Wine is a gift. I beg you on the horse's night. ”

“Sit down.”

I got caught up in that.

“The signs of a violent battle are buried beneath you. Who were they fighting? ”

“Marcosius. She was on the side of the heavenly host. ”

“You don't seem to have the ability. Well, it's not that great. ”

Her power was great. But based on the nature of abilities, yeah, it feels a little uncool. I don't think that's why they didn't acquire Marcosias' ability.

El said briefly.

“Rest. Don't overdo it. ”

“I healed all the wounds. Besides, it's time to move fast. ”

“Exhaustion may have been what drove you to grow, but it's not now. So get some rest. Eywa Rain will fill your vacancies. ”

As she tapped the couch, she smiled and pulled out two glasses of wine from the lid of the wine she had just given you.

“I just want to be with you. So stay with me. ”

“... Phew. ”

I lie down on the couch like she told me to. I couldn't resist.

I don't think I can beat El for a while.
