The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression
Episode 179: The Sage Restarts
I move into sight.
I had eyes for Luciana, who was immersed in administrative work.
Momentum arose, she rushed over scattering paperwork.
"Demon King Sama!
Luciana hugged me from the front.
Pretty powerful, my body is choking.
She is a high Demon clan and powerful enough to have served as the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's Army in addition.
less conspicuous, but was a bearer of considerable strength.
Besides, it's either due to upset, or it hasn't been able to apply or subtract force.
Cracks run on my shoulders and arms.
It was only a matter of time before my whole body was crushed.
"I was worried. He's not coming back at all..."
Luciana squeaks with a slightly trembling voice.
He looked unimaginable from his usual condition.
"Sorry."
That's all I gave back.
At the same time, my arm bones crack and fall.
Luciana, who returned to me with that sound, rushed away from me.
Her eyes are red.
The tears seemed to be on the brink.
When I pick up my fallen arm, I glue it with a grudge.
When I looked up, I discovered Diela standing at the edge of the room.
Arm-wrapped and Jen-royal, she has an invincible grin.
"Well done. I'm back. That's not a demon king."
"I still have something to do. You can't die here."
When I gave it back, Diela looked happy.
She makes me nod satisfactorily.
"Uh-huh, that's what I meant. Because the Lord needs a lot of work."
"... what do you mean"
"While your Lord was away, the world situation has changed. By the beasts of the outside world, one after the other."
Diela with a difficult look starts explaining.
Ten days had passed in reality while I was immersed in the spiritual world.
The beasts of the outside world seem to be starting in earnest.
They appear in every country, and they are rumbling around depending on allowances.
The Demon King's Army said it was in the process of intercepting the beast that appeared in its territory.
Seems like a pretty fierce fight, but so far, he said he was able to handle it.
What's happening in return is something else: brilliant.
I guess the executives serving as command towers are good at extracting them.
Incidentally, the concept of the beast of the outside world is not well known, and it seems to be the perception that the demons of mutant species are rampant simultaneously and multiple times in various countries.
Some areas have already been badly damaged, and it seems that the noise is not at the Demon King's.
"The other executives are fighting everywhere. He wanted to welcome the Lord, but he had to give up."
"Right."
I have no choice.
I don't know when I'll be back. It was more constructive to go crusading the beast than to wait for me.
Let's just say it's an extremely correct decision.
"Being back in the real world means that the beast that erodes your Lord has been exterminated, hasn't it?
"Now we're shutting it down in the basement of the lab and letting the director monitor it. Escape won't be possible first."
"The director is watching... it's not a disaster."
Diela looks sad and blurry.
It wasn't very topical, but it was a well-understood reaction to my impression of the Director.
If you look at it, Luciana has a similar look.
The director is a magician from a common researcher.
It was supposed to be the mediocre origin and background of all this.
That being said, at some point even the beasts of the outside world have become fearful beings.
He doesn't care about those things, but whatever he cares about, he would be the one who jumped through and made up.
Luciana asks me questions so as to open the subtle air.
"Sama the Demon King, what are you going to do now?
"While maintaining the deployed front, I will head to cover everywhere. Luciana, I want you to try to gather information."
Copy that. I'll take care of it.
Luciana accepts with a serious face.
The whole continent - no, even the other continents are under threat from the beasts.
The defense mechanism seems to be working too, but probably not enough hands.
Besides, they only prevent world annihilation.
I'm not trying to save people.
It was under these circumstances that authentic intelligence gathering was important.
They need to be integrated to make an efficient stand around.
"Diela, can I ask you to defend the King's capital?"
"I really want to be active on the front line, but let's be patient here. My show won't be long."
The roaring Diela nods reluctantly.
There seems to be no resistance to cooperation per se.
It is essentially like an executive of the Demon King Army.
He used to be a lodging enemy, but now he's a dependable neighbor.
It was something I didn't know how to fall.
(Movements delayed, but we just have to get it back now)
Between a few glances, they razed the world for a long time.
I do not know what purpose the beasts have, but it is a existence that will be completely eliminated.
There can only be one great evil in this world.
We have to show him the power of the resurrected Demon King.
