The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression
Episode 146: Wise Men Hear the Wishes of Loyalty
"You're finally here. What do you want me to do, ignore you?
"Of course I accept. If you say no, you don't know what you're gonna do."
I give Luciana the finished letter.
The sub-gods possess the unruly ability of space magic.
The more you outdo me now, the more power you'll even have to blow the continent away.
I don't do that because he doesn't like killing.
It is for the sole purpose of dismantling the Demon King's Army.
We should refrain from acts that provoke senselessness.
Besides that, the location of the sub-gods was unknown.
If you're going to show up from the other side, it's never been more convenient.
It was the same with me that I wanted to defeat my opponent.
I didn't want to miss this opportunity.
"The opponent is strong, but you're going to stand up to him in the Demon King's Army?
"I don't have any particular designation, but I'm going alone"
The sub-gods are probably acting alone.
Even if this one's on its way, it's only going to increase its target.
Using spatial magic, it would also be easy to exhaust it.
It is a rather troublesome strength.
Even with his entourage, I was almost suspicious if I could protect him.
Luciana, who sees the contents of the letter, folds it and punishes it.
She advises me as she sits on her desk.
"Sama the Demon King would be fine, but be careful. Don't let them get away with it."
"I know. I will not forgive you."
Heroes have the bottom line and come beyond their limits in unexpected situations.
Battle maidens and the like would be a good example these days.
The more you die, the more you exceed this assumption.
They come to use their power according to that belief.
"Try not to cause any damage, but just be thorough in your defense. You can run in case."
"Yes, yes, I know. Don't worry, I can protect myself."
Luciana responds with a flickering wave.
She was always in easy shape.
You trust me, but it would be a late attitude.
I think I have to live up to expectations.
That's when the entrance and exit doors opened.
It was Grom who showed up.
I beg your pardon.
A gracious grom comes to me in a quiet foothold.
It was a magical atmosphere.
You look a little nervous.
"Hmmm......"
Luciana, who sensed something, left the room to be replaced.
In silence, I ask Grom.
"What's up?"
"Demon King. Will you allow me to accompany you in your duel with the sub-gods?"
Grom knelt before me and begged.
An unexpected request, I can't read its intentions.
He also knew that he had been contacted by the sub-gods.
Did you hear it via a secret detective?
If it's his authority, it's not strange to know about the letter.
I was going to entrust you with the protection of the demon kingdom.
"That's what I asked Diela, the previous Demon King, to do."
Grom answers instantly.
I don't know if I've already rooted for it, but I'm oddly prepared.
I've probably been planning this for a long time, and this time I moved that to execution.
I didn't think I was thinking that far around.
It is unclear whether he wants to fight the sub-gods that far.
So I asked Grom.
"Why would I want to accompany you"
"At the heart of the matter, I don't think I'm helping the Demon King. In the battle with the Virgin Machia, it was useless but rather a clump of legs. Exposure has been exquisite in subsequent battles, and the hero's opponent has been entrusted to the Demon King"
Grom speaks.
That was just the first time I heard it.
His true nature carries extraordinary thoughts.
"It's the right material. Grom, your work is worth twelve minutes. I will not be humbled."
"Still, I want to fight next to the Demon King. I am deeply aware that it is a selfish idea. Could you please join us in the battle against the sub-gods?"
Grom presses his forehead against the floor and overlays his plea.
I lowered that large body to the fullest and mouthed my own desires.
After silence, I nod.
"Okay. Allow it."
"Woohoo, thank you. I will do everything in my power to destroy good for you."
Grom, with his face up, declares with a touched voice.
I feel uncomfortable with his words.
"... Isn't that what you call" destroying evil "
"We are acting with justice, but it must be evil. Sub-gods who defeat evil for people will be good for themselves."
Grom says it in a way that makes it contain.
That was an expression based on my purpose of becoming an indestructible evil.
"Sure. Exactly."
We are absolute evil.
I am aiming for peace in the world as a result, but I have killed countless good in the process.
We will continue to repeat the massacre.
Grom's words swept deep into my heart.
