00172 The Demon King's World

The golems roar forward. The trees snap out of the trees with a rattling sound. After that, the fairies flew away.

Golems and fairy troops have already aligned several times. You've reached the lowest level limit of all 10 monsters. Laura raised her stats quite nicely, thanks to her training. I was able to fight in peace. I watched the scene from behind quietly.

For reference, I ordered not to kill humans. All you had to do was make it immobile. If there was no boy to be a warrior, I had to ask the gunmen where he had disappeared to.

The Weavers...... They can't fight back when they're ambushed. Break one limb at a time and you'll be forced to give up. But if you don't give up, cut his throat. That's it.

“Phew.”

Somehow I'm tired. I'm sitting on a rock nearby.

Screams erupt from the village. I also heard a lot of screams of children and women. There was still compassion for me. It was an act of mind. For a while, I let this damn luxurious emotion pass through my heart.

After a while, I look down at the ground and roll a pebble at my toes. It'll all be over in a minute.

“Your Grace, I report to the Battle." ”

A moment later, Jeremy jumps from the top. She sits still. Maybe he was riding a tree. You can barely hear anything when you land.

“Report.”

“There were 34 humans in the village. Three of them died fighting back, five of them killed trying to escape. Twenty-six remaining are now being held captive with large and small injuries. ”

No mortal has been missed. The boy to be a warrior is either now in town, or he's already outside before the battle begins, or he was one of them. I desperately wanted the first case.

“Well done. Don't let your guard down. Jeremy, you're coming with me. ”

“Respect.”

I took the mask out of my backpack and put it on my face. I couldn't miss a single warrior. I should never have shown my real face to a warrior. I told Jeremy not to be careless, but that was true for me, too.

I walked into town. The golem shattered the tents, creating a natural clearing in the town. Dozens of humans sit there, shivering. There was a woman whose face was broken and bleeding.

And the sound of crying...... Was there a baby in there? I had a rough winter. It meant I liked the kindness of this town. I was so strong that neither child nor old man would abandon me. However, unlike the people of the territory, the firefighters were able to build firewood anytime, anywhere. Did it work out as luck…….

I stood tall on my waist. Humans stared at me with frightening eyes. It looks like a human being, but it does not express any hostility or kindness. The one with the monsters, you might think you're not just anyone.

“I am the master of all the hordes, the 72nd Demon King Andromalius. ”

Someone is screaming amongst the humans. Seeing that the scream was cut in the middle, the person next to you seems to be in a hurry. It was wise. It was better not to make a scene like this.

“Why am I threatening you? Why did they attack you? Put down all those questions. No questions are allowed for you from now on, and you should only answer what I ask you. ”

“Wicked, great being. Please have mercy."

The man at the front said.

I looked at Jeremy. Jeremy pulls out his dagger from somewhere and throws it fast enough that he can't see it. The dagger hits the man's neck. The man could not even scream. I fell down with my hands around my neck.

“Gaaaah!”

“Chief!"

Did the man just become chief? He must have been capable of leading a war village of this magnitude. I clasp my arms and wait for the commotion to subside. Surprisingly, people quickly shut up. Fear rises in their hands.

“I'm warning you one last time. You are not allowed to ask any questions. You are solely responsible for answering the questions you ask. If I do not answer correctly, I will kill one by one as an example. ”

I pulled the wooden ball out of my pocket and held it in my palm. It was my habit every time I calmed down. I spoke calmly, reminding myself of my purpose again.

“Is there a boy named Luke? ”

Luke. It was automatically given to the male protagonist in the game. The protagonist's name has been fixed to Luke unless the player changes it. However, the villagers did not react. Only silence returned in place of an answer.

“Hmm……. ”

How should I interpret this?

Is there no Luke in this town? I think I picked the wrong town. Maybe the protagonist's name was set to something other than Luke. Or is it that the villagers know it and are covering it with Morse?

I told you.

“Maria's husband Pierre. Pierre's wife Maria. ”

Two or three humans flinch. Seeing that, my mouth twisted. It's stuck, you guys.

Pierre and Maria were the main parents. I see. This town is more cohesive than I ever imagined. Covering each other in front of death. Should I compliment you for being great or mock you for making fun of me?

“How dare you put your own commands in my ear. ”

The villagers say it drops even harder.

“I was deeply amazed at your friendship. Fine. You don't have to tell me who Luke is. I kill all the children in the name of salute. ”

“Luke's out watering the stream! ”

A man shouted.

“Burz!"

“You're crazy to snitch on your fellow villagers! ”

“How dare you betray me! ”

The villagers blamed the man for his gender and age. There was a huge commotion. The frightened faces are filled with fury. The man protested with a trembling voice.

“I'm sorry... but you can't sacrifice all the children!" ”

“Your son, did you forget Pierre lent you rye last year? Payback for your kindness! Heavens, be angry with me! ”

“I'm sorry, I'm really sorry...... I'll repay you with my life..." ”

Humans made a fuss for a while. However, the sound of the words began to decrease one by one, and suddenly it was quiet.

They realized I was silently staring at them without a word.

I muttered indifferently.

“I see why the other Demon Kings are suffering from human disbelief. I just didn't think it would be this uncomfortable if I couldn't read my feelings. ”

Then Jeremy smiles back.

“Shall I kill them all, Your Majesty? ”

“No. A little generosity. ”

Fear disappears from the faces of the humans and the fear settles again. Just now, their lines were crossed. If you do, everyone here will simply die. I wanted to make that clear.

“Do you have a cigarette? ”

“Yes... but my stuff is a bit of a bad quality. Is that okay?" Very addictive. ”

Tsk, drugs.

I've smoked weed before. It never fit into my body. I don't know what drugs in the world are, but Jeremy's assassin wouldn't be any weaker than weed.

“From now on, take your own cigarettes. ”

“I'm sorry I didn't meet my expectations. Hehe, my body is so durable that I can't eat medicine without cigarettes... ”

While Jeremy and I were chatting, the villagers remained silent like death. I barely learned how to be quiet.

“Burz.”

The man looks up at this side in embarrassment, then heads down again.

“Yes… yes! ”

“Did Luke go out alone? ”

“Yes, yes, Great One. I went into the stream by myself. ”

In this atmosphere, it was better to ask a specific individual a question than to ask everyone a rhetorical question. That's why I called the snitch.

“When will that veil return? ”

“I'm sorry... I'm sorry. ”

I don't know about that.

“If Pierre and Maria are here, come forward and bow down." ”

Among the humans, a man and a woman stand staggering. The man's right arm and right leg are badly crushed. It was evidence of violent resistance against the golem. The woman barely made it out while supporting the man. The two of them bowed to the ground as politely as possible.

Hmm.

“I commend you for not being disheartened by the name of your precious child. ”

“ ……. ”

The men and women of Hwagun were still silent answers while raising the temple. They remembered my command to answer only the questions I asked.

In the game scenario, the two of them were horribly fond of their son Luke. I was calm even though my beloved son appeared to be in danger. No, most of the people in this town were calm. My neighbor died by golems....

Looking at the other side, I saw the woman who desperately calmed the baby in her arms. You know what misfortune befalls a baby when it cries. I dared to be consistent with Morse in my question, but it was to not forsake my faith in my neighbors.

Betrayal is a world that traverses. The villagers deserve to be praised for their actions, but they've done nothing wrong...

“Phew.”

A sigh popped out, and it seemed that the people in front of them had the 'value' of living.

Just like Jack Orland. At least they deserved to hear why they had to die. My tendency to give mercy to a bad habit, a class that I liked, and to stop me from giving out my head again.

“Pierre and Maria. And the humans who burn the forest. I will tell you why you must die, and I will tell you why a boy named Luke must die. ”

“ ……. ”

The woman shakes her shoulders when Luke's name appears. I didn't grunt or cry. She was strong. By the way, she gave birth to a warrior...

“The prophecy has come down. The most spiritual witch in the kingdom met the prophecy. The Goddess warned us that ten years from now, the hearts of the Demon Kings will be pierced with cold blades, and soon all the Demon Kings on the continent will be destroyed. ”

“ ……. ”

“Luke is the human name that will cut the fate of our Demon King in ten years. ”

The villagers murmur without a sound.

“How many Luke there are on the continent, and I doubt that. However, the prophecy was unprecedented and accurate. Near Mount Laelia in the province of Lauren. Near Formatra and the cannula, a nameless coin village was born Luke. ”

The men and women who fell at my feet began to tremble noticeably. There's no excuse for that.

“Therefore, I have come here to kill a boy named Luke. It will be unfortunate for you. I won't add to the army. You, and the other Demon Kings, will die here for the future of the Horsemen. ”

“Wait a minute.”

Someone shouts among the humans. I was young, but I had a strong voice.

“Great one. I dared to rely on that tolerance. ”
