The Novel’s Villain

I had to take a little detour along the wall, but as I looked around, it didn't feel that far. Looking at the ground, it was much better than Elondi. I thought that funding would allow me to regenerate on my own.

As you approach the small door, you see a rope.

I stood behind the line.

I noticed that the horsemen in luxurious outfits were making a lot of impression, but I felt like a nobleman. After reviewing the information, it was a nobleman from another territory.

“Geez, you're treated like this in this poor territory · · ·. ”

“Let's talk to Briak. This is his mistress who insults him. ”

There seemed to be a lot of complaints. Then I looked to the right side.

I didn't put up a fight or anything. Rather, he lightly greeted Jinwoo if he felt strange. It's because it wasn't something a lesser horseman could have.

The Horse smiles and opens his mouth. It's because if Jinwoo is a noble or a high status, it was good to show his face. He was a Mage who rose to a considerably higher position with such a procedure.

“Haha! You look precious. You must be traveling. ”

“I thought I'd stop by. ”

“I see. There's no sense of urgency for travelers here. If it weren't for the Demon Lord's reputation, he wouldn't have come. ”

The Horsemen were kind.

Usually there is a paradox, but that did not happen.

Approaching the door, the gatekeeper is doing an ID check. I heard from Arina that Galerod's territory is free for visitors to and from. I was surprised.

“No, you don't know who we are! ”

“Is it okay to treat a guest like this? ”

“You control the wagon? · ·! I'm the one who's eating with the caretaker here! ”

The gatekeeper tried to calm them down, sweating red.

“Apologies. The Demon King has commanded us to do so, so we appreciate your patience. ”

“Hmmm, if Galrod said so. I would understand but · · ·. We will formally protest! ”

“Treating nobles like this will break the rules of the Mahjong system! What a pity! ”

However, it was hard for the nobles to see me as such. Rather, it felt cute. It felt like a genuine customer. I was grumbling and getting everything tested.

Jinwoo's turn has come.

The gatekeeper appears to be a highly trained horseman. I wasn't good enough to be a gatekeeper.

His attitude was very respectful.

“What is the purpose of your visit? ”

“It's a journey.”

“I see. There's a control area, so be careful. ”

Jinwoo nods. I didn't mind just looking around the outskirts.

The nobles in front of Jinwoo are letting the workers carry their belongings.

“Put your hand on the crystal ball. ”

Crystal spheres looked very expensive.

Jinwoo examined the information in Mayan.

[C +] Jinmyung Explorer

An artifact crafted by the Demon Lord.

By the power of the Demon King, you can connect with the dark self and confirm the name you have been given. The effects are clear, but not well used. It is because we must offer many sacrifices to the ego of darkness.

It was quite an interesting artifact.

“All you have to do is put your hands up? ”

“Don't worry, there's no harm done. ”

It turned out that the Mages didn't know Jinwoo's name.

I never gave my name in another dimension. Just because I was called a monarch.

Jinwoo stares at the crystal ball for a moment, and his gaze flashes around him. The nobles in front were also staring at him. “Are we there yet? ”

“These days it takes too long · · ·. ”

“Hmm · · · ·. ”

The visitors and workers in the back notice you as if you were in a hurry. Now, if I stepped back, I was more likely to become suspicious.

‘All you have to do is pass. ’

It may be a very unusual name here, but it wasn't just a detection. First, I placed my hand on the crystal ball.

The crystal sphere, which appears to be filled with white liquid, gradually becomes cloudy.

It was like black paint on white milk.

[The self of darkness politely asks for a name. Tell me your name. The identity of darkness can be renamed.]

"Oh, that helps. ’

It was a dark self that I thought was mind-bending. But this time it seemed to help. If you change the dark self to look good, you can pass right through.

I think I've seen too much of the dark self. When I think about it, I feel like a child trying to help.

The intention was good, but the result was bad.

‘Lee Jin-woo.’

It was a moment when Jin Woo remembered his name with a will.

Burr!

Margie was shaking.

[Lee Jin-woo!]

[It's an enormous evil that even the ego of darkness cannot bear.]

[Darkness bursts for a moment in a huge, insurmountable name.]

I came up with that information.

Then I forgot, but even the greedy monarch used to say that.

Even vomiting blood.

Even the so-called underdrink was the same.

It was quiet.

Something doesn't seem to have happened yet. Surprisingly passable · · ·.

Phage!

Not the same.

The crystal sphere turned completely black.

It was so dark that I couldn't see anything. It looked like a black hole had been drilled into the space.

“W-what?! ”

“This · · · ·. ”

A dark stream gushes out from the ground and envelops the crystal ball.

The crystal ball began to rise into the air.

The gatekeepers stagger back. The nobles who were watching were also very surprised. They retreated and fell. You crushed the buttocks hard.

The people behind Jinwoo were also surprised. There were a lot of runaways.

Boo-hoo!

The crystal ball is cracked.

The Demon King's powerful artifact never breaks unless it crosses the Demon King. The things the Demon King consumed his power to make were usually weapons. That's why the Demon King used to make weapons, sometimes called God-made weapons.

Puang!

The crystal ball is completely broken. A vortex of energy erupts from the crystal ball.

It looked like a black hole.

Boom!

Margie rises as the floor splits apart around her. Margaeries are all drawn into the vortex, and the vortex grows larger.

Everyone was dumbfounded and looked at the scene. Jinwoo was the same.

I felt like something was going on.

“...... ”

At that moment, the static settled.

It was so cold that even the sound disappeared from this world. The demons felt their ears turning deaf.

The nobleman stares up at the vortex, dazed at the base of the gate, and sees the necklace around his neck slowly rising into the air. It was a necklace with a fingernail jewel, but it was floating away as if gravity had disappeared.

The necklace left its neck and floated in the air. It was a moment when the nobleman reached out and grabbed the necklace.

Whee!

The ring falls from your hand and is sucked into the vortex.

“Unh!”

“W-weaponsman! ”

The weapon with the gatekeeper was also drawn in. I tried to stay, but I couldn't.

Knock, knock!

The brick in the wall is torn apart.

The flag that symbolized Galrod was torn to pieces.

“Blood, move! ”

“Pa, it's getting sucked in! ”

“Aah!”

The nobles fled first, and all the horses around them fled with force. There is no one around Jinwoo.

‘It's dangerous.'

I saw the wall and the gate being sucked in, so I had to quickly prepare a plan.

I could not harm Galrod. Jinwoo takes off her gloves and casts a spell. You use dark magic to catch the vortex. The whirlpool draws on the dark magic of the Dark Rain and begins to grow.

I felt a heavy weight.

As I looked at Maan, the vortex was unstable as if it were going to explode soon.

It was like a time bomb.

Jinwoo pulls the vortex hard and throws it straight up into the sky. The whirlpool scatters the black air currents and begins to soar into the sky.

The swirling black air stream looks like a terrible tentacle.

The moment I got up to a certain height,

Kuang!

The vortex explodes.

I blew away all the clouds, sprinkling an enormous amount of margi. The black energy covered the sky and consumed the light. It was the moment when day turned into night.

The black energy that dominated the sky began to crumble. The sight of black snow unfolded.

“But it's not dangerous. ”

After checking the information, it was not dangerous.

Rather, dark magic and Margaery were adequately mixed, enriched with nutrients. It would have a tremendous effect if you landed.

Visuals are a bit like that, though.

“Hmm · · · ·. ”

The gate was down and so was the wall.

Jinwoo was blocked from the entrance even before watching.

* * *

Galrod has been unable to sleep since he arrived in the territory of Arina. Every time I go to bed,

[Why did you leave me? I curse you!] [I curse you forever!]

[I'm going to eat your weight! Shhhhh!]

Halas appears and harasses him.

Harlas in the nightmare was not normal. She was half-eaten and shed tears.

“Phew · · ·. ”

Galrod sighs deeply.

He told Arina he would follow the monarch. He said that to avoid the same situation as Period and to buy time.

I've raised the security perimeter for the territory.

It was a relief to be aware of the situation in the territory.

I was also prepared for the possibility that the monarch would come. When I found the monarch, I controlled the central gate and the path to the castle so that I could run straight to him.

I also did not forget to train the soldiers and their caretakers in manners.

And I let his wife and daughter stay in the annex. I've packed my things so I can evacuate at any time.

But I was not relieved.

‘Phew. ’

Galrod looks at the gem he received from the monarch. A jewel of immense value. The gem paid off the debt to the other Demon King and solved the problem in the territory.

‘... do I have to make a choice? ’

The monarch was forcing the registrar to register a different Demon King than the horse system. If not, he will devour all the territories.

The bones of a myriad of horses. And that horrible food made out of flesh.

When I ate the food, it reminded me of that scene, so far it was Galloth who drank only water.

Why on earth did they build a grave?

You can just leave the bones alone, but the monarch ordered you to build a grave.

I needed to know his intentions. Galrod was afraid, but closed his eyes and helped Arina herself.

I secretly installed a surveillance artifact on Arina when I was making the tomb. I thought that even a monarch could not be easily recognized by his power.

‘... you've got video. ’

He hesitated while trying to play the video.

Did he do a good job?

Didn't the monarch notice that he was paying special attention?

There was still such anxiety.

Galrod plays the video while swallowing his saliva.

I looked at the video and it hardened. It's because the monarch appeared in the tomb with Arina.

The monarch was so afraid to see him again.

What are you doing? ’

The monarch sprinkles an unknown liquid on the cemetery. His right hand is surrounded by black air currents and he can't see properly.

It was the moment the monarch said something.

Galrod's eyes widen. Strange symbols engraved on the cemetery · · ·.

“That · · · ·! ”

Black Skulls come up.

Black Skeleton.

It was a magic that only came from deep underground in the Magic System. Such a black skeleton has surpassed hundreds of times.

The Black Skeleton kneels before the Monarch.

The red glare felt particularly creepy.

‘That · · ·. Red Eye Silver · · ·. ’

It was similar to the red glasses I saw in the dark.

I was sweating cold.

I'm already wet. The monarch ate the Horseman and made a Black Skeleton out of his remaining bones. And I was making something out of that black skeleton.

‘He doesn't covet the magic system. Just · · ·. ’

If you look at his vast wealth, the bargain was worthless.

I came here to eat the horses and make soldiers. The Horse was just a material to him.

The Golden Monarch was truly an evil god.

Whiplash!

Galrod sweeps his face with trembling hands.

I didn't know the Elves were in better shape. No, perhaps the Elven Queen desperately sang that song for her people. To not get eaten.

‘Oh, you haven't noticed. We need to destroy the artifact quickly. ’

Galrod unleashes his power and quickly destroys artifacts in Arina's territory. It was destroyed remotely, causing extreme horsepower consumption.

It was when he was exhaling violently.

Titidic!

The crystal ball sparkles. I've heard from Arina.

Galrod's body hardens. I was contacted with trembling hands.

[Hello, Galrod.]

“Ah, ah, hello. Arina.”

[You look tired. I told you health is important · · ·.]

“I'm sorry. ”

[Sorry! I was just saying that because I was worried about Galrod. Your people admire you very much, don't they? Galrod will be very sad if he is not well.]

Gulp!

Galrod swallows a saliva. Sweat drips down my jawline. He was just like his family. It was the driving force that helped me overcome the difficult situation.

It was an obvious threat.

“I'll keep that in mind. By the way, what happened? ”

[Ah! Right.]

Arina grins. It was such a clear smile. But Galrod knew. The fear behind that mask.

[I wanted to let you know. He said he was going to look around Galrod's territory, but I don't want to cause any inconvenience.]

“Two, did you say you look around? Who, who · · · · ·.? ”

[Sir, you should be here by now.]

Galrod's mouth opens.

[We'll be in touch next time! I'm informing you secretly, so you'll have to deal with it later!]

Arina says so and hangs up.

Caught you!

Galrod had no choice but to think so.

I angered the monarch.

I had to fix it quickly. I had to make excuses that were not my intention. If not, the territory · · ·. Territorials · · ·!

I could eat it.

It was the moment that Galrod thought so.

Margie vibrates around her. Galrod turns his head and looks out of the castle, where it doesn't work.

“Ah, ah · · ·. ”

A black hole floats on the wall, which seems to swallow up all the territory. It was eating through the gates and walls. The flag was sucked in, and so were the weapons on the walls.

The territory was being eaten.

“Oh, no! ”

Galrod knelt at once.

“I'm sorry! I made a mistake! I give my life! Please!” That's how I cried out.

Is it because of that care? A black hole rises into the sky and explodes, spreading evil energy.

Sinister dust pours down into the lands. It was similar to what Kalis had prophesied.

Fortunately, the territory is still intact.

Galrod sprints out quickly.

It was for Moxi before the Lord was even more offended.

* * *

Jinwoo sees Galrod running fast.

I was very sorry.

‘In the magic world, accidents really don't stop. ’

I was about to miss Earth.

My heart crossed with my heart of joy and apology.

“Old, lord, come here, come to the shady place · · · I'm sorry, I... Really · · ·. ”

“I made a mistake for a moment. I'm sorry, we'll make it up to you. ”

“Well, please don't say that. This is my fault for not showing up in advance. ”

Galrod didn't know what to do.

He was saying that even his own mistakes were his fault. Jinwoo was moved by his great grandeur.

“Go to the castle. I'll show you!”

“I'd like to explore the territory. Are you sure?”

“No, of course not. ”

Galrod nods his head and guides you through the land.

‘That's good.’

The houses where the colonists lived were somewhat run-down but clean.

The sewers were well organized.

The colonists are out on the streets, surprised by the commotion just now. Everyone looks at Galrod and bows politely. I could see that the colonists respected him.

Galrod was rather agitated and agitated.

‘How humble. ’

Jinwoo thought he deserved his respect, but he was being modest. I could learn a lot from his attitude.

The horseman children flocked around. Among them, there was a particularly noticeable girl. You look at Galrod and run, smiling brightly.

“Dad!"

“Huff, huff! ”

Galrod was greatly distraught.

“Is that your daughter?”

“Yes? Yes, ma'am, that's right. ”

She was the Demon King's daughter, but she was hanging out with the local kids. Jinwoo thought it was an ideal sight.

The Demon King's daughter ran right up to Galrod. I look up at Galrod, staring blankly at him.

It was very cute.

“Hello, are you a friend of your father's? ”

“Okay, what's your name? ”

“Aimee Gallo Sardines IV! ”

“Oh, really? ”

He lowers his gaze and makes eye contact with Amy. Galrod is bored blue, but he doesn't notice.

I took out candy and snacks from the subspace. Seeing that, Amy's eyes sparkle.

“Share it with your friends.” "Wow! Thank you!”

Amy covers her head with candy and snacks. Then I ran to my friends.

Jinwoo suddenly remembered what it would be like to have children.

Who's the wife, really? What kind of kids are we gonna have?

‘Cute.’

Jinwoo feels like this, too, but I doubt Galrod will be happy.

Jinwoo smiles at Galrod.

“Cute kid. You raised her beautifully. ”

“Phew · · ·. ”

“I can see why you work so hard. ”

“Oh, no. Well, I don't have anything. ”

Jinwoo shakes her head.

“You don't have to hide it. I know everything. ”

“Ugh, ugh! ”

“Next time, I'll bring a gift for Amy. ”

“Ah, ah · · ·. ”

Galrod tries to take his breath away.

I was weak with compliments.

I searched the grounds and entered the castle. I came to a decent place to watch.

Galrod stares at you to see if you've made up your mind.

I knelt down.

“I pledge my allegiance to the Lord. ”

“No, you don't have to. ”

“Please accept my loyalty. ”

It was difficult for the Demon King to suddenly come out here and there.

Jinwoo raises him up.

Why don't you say no?

“Let's help each other like we do now. ”

“That · · · ·. Female citizens · · ·. ”

“Don't worry. You're going to be great. ”

“Go, thank you. Thank you so much!”

Galrod smiled awkwardly and said so.

Galrod was a man who could give up his pride for his people.

‘Let's do something to help. ’

Jin Woo took out a sack full of dimensional gold coins from the sub-space. It was a compensation for damages to the gates and walls.

Galrod stares at the sack, dumbfounded.

After seeing the enormous dimension of gold coins, the guilt vanished for a moment.

Galrod thought.

‘Yes, to live. If this. ’

Haven't you lived hard so far?

For Amy, for her family, and for the people of the land.

I've already suffered enough.

“Well, that's too few. ”

Jin Woo said that and pulled out a few more bags from the sub-space. Galrod's eyes tighten again.

To be honest, it was too much money to feel guilty.
