00269 Traitor

The laughter shook the air.

“Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha"! ”

It had been silent and silent for a long time, and it was crouching in its stomach, refluxing its snake-like esophagus and bursting out in a flash.

“How many people have said that to themselves! Excellent! Luxury! ”

It's madness. The ominous laughter hits deep within the skull, repeatedly. The Demon Kings stare at Baal frozen. The laughter stops without notice.

“Oh, what a long wait. ”

Baal hung his nostalgic eyes in the air for some time. My face that only knew how to make a solemn face was filled with compassion like the spring wind.

Dantalian also had a sweet voice.

“That went longer than you expected. ”

“How could I have known that I had to wait 2,000 years from that day? The mortal must embrace time with folly. The gods do not forgive arrogance. ”

Baal looks at his opponent.

“A surprising figure, and a surprising end. I never thought a man like you would be the one to end a dramatic stage and put up a new front. This is also the reward the gods give back to themselves. ”

“I'm sorry a servant like me ended your amusement. ”

Dantalian says playfully.

“But it is proven that there are still things in the world that you would never expect or anticipate. Excuse me, but I think it's a blessing. ”

“Yes, I am enjoying endless joy. ”

The two of them had a gentle conversation.

It was a landscape that almost mirrored other Demon Kings. It's like an old friend talking.

“Which Demon King did you expect to end your reign? ”

“Phimon has a good chance of finding out. But it was the same hope. ”

Baal nods.

“Barbato has no one to follow, but he tends to emotionally interpret the causes of the incident. Marvas was the best at solving and coordinating the problem, but the cause of the problem was not addressed as important and inappropriate. The rest were extraordinary.”

Baal stares at Baal, standing over the ballroom.

“I have formalized a system of sequences for the purpose of enraging the Demon Kings. Why am I so low in rank? Why is someone else's sequence lower than mine? I was going to stir up a struggle like that... ”

“Rather, it has an effect on stabilizing the Demon Kings' ranks. ”

“Ah.”

Baal sighs for a long time.

“It is natural for the Demon King of the lower class to respect the Demon King of the upper class. A class has emerged, like that bargain, that uses ranking to improve its position at all. He's a piece of shit. ”

The bartender flinches.

Dantalian said, not caring.

“If only I had told you that you did it from the beginning……. ”

“It's the right door, so you don't have to do it and end up in your own play. ”

Baal frowns.

“I didn't do it because I hoped for a fresh ending. I aspire to die fighting someone stronger, wiser and nobler than myself. I can't even figure it out for myself! ”

“Well, a warrior's value is also determined by the value of the person who killed him……. ”

“That's it. ”

Then I heard a loud voice.

“... Don't be ridiculous. ”

In the corner of the chairman, half-plunged in darkness, Barbatos is furious with his face. Barbatos barely tolerates his anger and spits out words.

“Don't be ridiculous, mister...... You cut that damn supply line...?" ”

“Yes.”

Baal nods.

Dantalian sighs and steps away from Baal. Baal continued, smiling.

“It was I who killed the three Demon Kings who were in charge of supply. I can still remember the hardships of the enemy disguised as the Knights attacked. ”

“Armman's soldiers starved to death without a single good swing of his blade! ”

Barbatos howls with bloodshot eyes.

“Your bastard caused Armman's soldiers...! ”

“That's really sad. It's tragic."

Baal said.

“But, Barbato. Pure warrior. Just out of curiosity...... If you're so sad and angry, why don't you avenge yourself right now? ”

“ ……! ”

At that moment, Barbatos sprints like an arrow.

A dark liquid erupts from the shadows and explodes widely around Barbatos. Dozens of Daggers protrude from the shadows all around. The Great Swords turned into giant wings and poured out only towards Baal.

It was a one-second workshop.

Baal whips his cloak around once, and his right hand grips him with a double-edged sword. He draws a semicircle and slashes at himself. The Great Swords crumble and scatter as if they were glass.

Baal's blade remains cut off Barbatos' right arm.

“Rrrrghhh!" ”

Barbatos groans and swings his battle sickle with his remaining left arm. However, after Baal lightly strikes the side of the snare, the blow flows in the wrong direction.

“Barbato, I advise you. ”

Baal plunges his fist deeply into Barbato's unbalanced body.

The fist struck the girl's chest with an authentic punch and protruded through her body to the other side. A bright red heart is gripped by a fist. Knuckle, and Barbato lets out a sigh.

“Ugh, ugh... ugh! ”

Barbatos falls to the ground badly. She groans, plugging a hole in her chest with her left hand. Barbatos' body twitches like a bug in sudden rush of pain. A pool of blood grows wider around her.

“The problem is that you get too emotional about your subordinates. If you truly think of your subordinates, you should always be cold. Because if you ask... ”

Baal gently crushes the heart in his hand.

The girl's heart flutters down into a puddle of dark red blood.

“If the commander suffers self-inflicted injuries, even his subordinates run wild. ”

Veled and Zephyr are in position at the same time.

Belled hollers and throws the axe down, wielding his spear silently. Baal kicks Barbato across the floor. As Barbato rises into the air screaming in agony, Veled and Zephyr's gaze stops.

“It can be used as a useful hostage. ”

Baal lunges at Veled, not missing the gap.

Veled quickly twists, realizing the opposing team's intentions, but Baal is already stabbing the opposing team in the shoulder with an exact double-handed sword. Veled shrugs his right arm from his shoulder.

On the contrary, Zephyr dealt with it wisely. As soon as I saw Baal rushing towards Veled, I avoided him. Zephar quickly retreats after accepting Barbatos' fall.

Baal cuts off Veled's remaining left arm and is amazed.

“Did you intend to rescue Barbatos from the beginning? Excellent. Even though I put a hole in your back, you still haven't changed your purpose. ”

“ ……. ”

Zephar stares at Baal with his tired eyes. Zephar takes off his cloak and carefully covers Barbatos. Covered in a red cloak, Barbato sighs bitterly.

“Hmm.”

Baal drains the blood from the sword. He told Dantalian.

“Begging your pardon, Dantalian. I cleaned up for a moment because of the hissing. I trust you will forgive me for my rudeness. ”

“… Of course. ”

Dantalian smiles bitterly.

“I thought you were powerful, but you're more powerful than I imagined. That sword, or maybe it's a papaya sword. ”

“Hoho? Did you know who this armor was? ”

Dantalian sighs.

“Armor that has hit all the unique magic from the Red Dragon to the eleven dragon tribes. It contains the unique magic of the white dragon, forcibly summoning the summoned water. For Barbatos, this is the ultimate weapon. ”

“You're a real scholar. How did you know about the forgettable armor of the ancient world? ”

Dantalian shakes his head.

“The most intimidating thing about the troops surrounding you right now is the summoning of Barbatos...... So you provoked Barbatos first, lured him in, and disabled the summoners as well. ”

“I am not as confident in fighting as Agares. ”

Baal smiles warmly.

The rest of the Demon Kings were surrounded by Baal during the Workshop. The Phalanx, Neutral, Unaffiliated, and almost all the Demon Kings marched together to stare at Baal with a nervous young face.

Baal turns his gaze on Pymon.

“Pymon, as you have heard. ”

“ ……. ”

“I wanted you to have a kingdom that encompassed the human race. That's why I didn't spare any support. ”

“…… there is essentially no difference between humans and Mines. ”

Pymon glares at Baal with his cold eyes.

“That's not what he told the girl. He told her. Was it all a lie?”

“I'm disappointed in the enemy for lying. I was just providing an incentive. But perhaps you had a soft spot. ”

Baal looks sad.

“Last month's Armed Forces wanted to finally rise and fall... I was disappointed. In the end, it was just a bowl. ”

“Baal. You told me you asked me to intervene in each faction. ”

and Marvas asked with a blank expression.

“The Demon King united. A force that moves forward as one. Isn't that what you asked for? ”

“Old friend, I'm sorry, but no. If so, I should have empowered my neutral faction even more. ”

“…… a faction exists, but they want to prevent the conflict from escalating and overly weakening. That way, we can reserve enough strength against you, Baal. ”

Baal nods.

“You are wise indeed. But a wise man tends to stay true to his duties and not look back. That was your mistake, Marvas. ”

“…… I appreciate the advice. ”

Baal glances around, looking back at Dantalian.

“What a wonderful gift. I acknowledge you as my adversary, Dantalian. But can you really shoot yourself here? ”

“I think it might be possible. ”

Dantalian shrugs.

“It doesn't look as easy as I thought. Even the cape you're wearing is a little suspicious. It is speculated that this is a special cloak with a powerful half magic. ”

“Precise conjecture. There was a rumor that once you had the power of prophecy, but it wasn't just a legend. ”

“This is the worst. ”

Dantalian says, away from Baal.

“Still, I can't just show you out. If there's one thing I hate most in the world, it's that I miss the prey in front of my eyes, and I get my head bashed in later. ”

He raises his right hand.

“You must die here, my lord. ”
