The Returner

Even though the Demon King's hand was right in front of his face, the essence could not resist. No, it was more pointless to resist than not be able to resist.

No matter what resistance he had, this creature in front of him had the power to take his life out like an object in his pocket. What does resistance mean to such a creature?

And even if I tried to resist, my body wouldn't move.

Like a stiffened mouse looking at a cat, the essence could only wait for its own destiny to come, stiffening the whole body.

“Hehe.”

The Demon King slowly reclaims his outstretched hand.

“The defense mechanism is working well, given the feeling of fear. I sometimes feel like a fearless creature when I'm human. ”

Jung In-su wanted to sit down there.

In that short moment, my hand reached out, and I went through dozens and dozens of times. I wondered if I was getting old.

The Demon King smiled as if he was enjoying the reaction of such an essence. If you can call it a smile.

“Not surprising, mortal. I told you I was here to talk. Unlike you humans, we don't enjoy lying. And you're not great enough to feel that I'm worth cheating on. ”

The essence of hearing the Demon King's words couldn't even make a fuss.

That's because it's true.

From the devil's point of view, he looks like an ant on the front line. Even if he disappears, a new ant will take the lead. A lot will be different for a human being, but nothing will be different for him to see.

It was humiliating, but it was something I had to admit.

“What do they want? ”

“Told you. Conversation. ”

“What conversation? Is there anything you and I can talk about? ”

“That's for me to decide, right? ”

The Demon King looked at the essence as if it were interesting.

“First of all, what I want to ask is your human mindset. I think Humans are pretty intelligent animals, but sometimes they do stupid things that they can't use at all. ”

“…… If you know that, you'd better tell me more easily! ”

“Even now. What do you believe and come out so stiff? You know I could have taken your life in an instant if I wanted to. ”

Jung In Soo tried to answer as boldly as possible. It was not entrusted to anyone, but at this moment it occurred to me that he represents humanity.

I had no intention of showing contempt to these ignorant invaders, even if I was to die.

“If you're not stiff, will you raise me like a pet? I don't want to do that over here. Quick question. I feel sick just talking to someone like you. ”

The Demon King's eyes quietly stared at the essence.

“This is what I like about humans. You would never bow down to me, no matter what kind of torture I might inflict? ”

“I know. ”

“Hehe, but I can make you surrender to me in a heartbeat. ”

He stares at the Demon King without answering. It meant that if I tried, I would try.

“Don't get me wrong. I won't do anything for you. You don't have to. ”

The Demon King raises his hand. Then Black Margie begins to form at his fingertips.

“You wouldn't bow down to me even if you were dust from here now. But what if it wasn't you who disappeared into the dust? ”

The Demon King's hand slowly turns to the side.

Jung In Soo's eyes shook.

Where his hands are, there are those who are still evacuating and those who are guarding them.

“What do you think? Still the same idea? You're never going to bow down to me, are you? Isn't that right?”

“W-well, stop it! ”

“Heave-ho.”

The Demon King pulls his hand slightly and reaches out to the people.

“Stop it!”

Jung In Soo closed her eyes, screaming. However, the explosion was not heard, only the laughter of the Demon King was heard.

“This is why I can't stop caring about humans. ”

The Demon King slowly lowers his hand.

“Race means character. To put it bluntly, there is a common sense in all races. It's not just about being biologically identical, it's about sharing the same sense of purpose. ”

The Demon King points to an ant passing under his feet.

“A colony like that thinks the comfort of a colony is more than my life. That's why you fight when you know you're gonna die. If the egg is protected and the queen is safe, the colony remains intact even if she dies. A single individual living in a colony needs to prioritize the comfort of the same species, even if it is the same species. ”

The Demon King looked at the essence with his eyes lowered.

“But you mortals cannot be held captive. One human being, one human being, takes for granted the sacrifice of everything for himself, and one human being tears his own life apart for another. What the hell were you thinking? How is he so different from the rest of his kind? ”

I looked at the essence with the eyes that the Demon King was interesting.

“Even the same person makes completely different choices depending on the circumstances and timing. Compared to you humans, we Mages are very pure. We're completely personal and destructive. He moves only for his own amusement and gain. And then you're a human being who becomes a murderer and a saint at the same time. ”

The Demon King points back.

“I just saw history in humans. It turns out that if the most famous killer in human history was a vegetarian, he was a conservationist. You are chaos, after all. They worship order more than any other species, but they are far from the most orderly. ”

Jung In-soo smiled.

“I didn't know the Demon King had any intelligence. Do you want to study philosophy? I think you'll get a good score. ”

“Human ideas don't really fit me. ”

The Demon King shrugs.

“Everything in the world looks different from a point of view, and I don't like the intention of trying to define myself according to some law. Your philosophy is all about self-defense. ‘This is what we're made of.' Just a thorough cotton wool. You just have to admit that they're uncontrollable beings, and then you talk about them and you try to escape. ”

“Thank you for your input. I'm an ignorant soldier, and I hear dogs barking all the time. ”

Jung In Soo is dead.

At that time, there was a strange sight in Jung In-soo's eyes.

His men are slowly approaching here with rifles. Jung In Soo held them back with her eyes.

Don't! You bastards! "

A rifle.

With a toothpick, the odds of facing the chariot will be higher. What does a personalizer mean to a guy who can't get hurt even if he throws a MG-50 in his mouth?

“Well, there's one more thing. You have a very rational existence, but you're stupid to me. Too often, impulses go beyond reason. Isn't that right?"

“... let's just say loyalty. But for you, this situation means nothing more than running ants. ”

“Humans don't just look cute when ants run up against them, do they? ”

“If you're not harmed, I'll let you be. ”

“That's what a human looks like. ”

The Demon King rolls his mouth up.

“But I'm not. ”

That's how the tide started.

I could see the list.

as he hears the sound of fireworks and the heads of his men explode together.

“ ……. ”

At that moment, I couldn't understand what had happened.

It's so unrealistic.

His head was refusing to accept the situation. But denial doesn't make a difference.

Seeing the people falling to the ground one by one, Jung Myung Soo had to try to restore the fading consciousness.

Don't get excited.

Excitement doesn't change anything.

He is currently in charge of Seoul's defenses, and should be kept here for a little while longer to prevent the Demon King from looking away.

So the excitement...

“Son of a bitch! I'll kill you!”

Jung In-soo draws his pistol and rushes toward the Demon King. I know it's pointless. I knew that no matter how much you shoot this pistol, it wouldn't tickle the Demon King.

I have to admit.

The Demon King is right.

No matter how rational man may be, he has proven that he cannot follow his rationality.

The Demon King grabs the head of the rushing essence and slams it to the ground.

Bang!

Blood splatters in the concrete.

Jung In Soo grips her teeth to catch a faint blur of spirit. The Demon King grabs the head of the Demibeast and lifts him straight up.

“Look.”

His body slowly turns.

“This is your situation. ”

A city on fire.

The cost of the invasion has been bitter.

Humanity cannot resist them. It was hard to fight an enemy without even immunity.

“For living like a king in a world without adversaries. You have lived so easily. Orloth stands sacrificing and trampling on the weak. What we do is nothing special. I'm just paying you back for what you've done to this world. ”

“Hehehehe……. ”

The Demon King's face slightly changed for the first time.

"Smile?"

In a situation like this?

“...... You're talking nonsense. All you're doing is killing for fun. I'll give you back what you said. It's not funny, given the whole reason you want to kill someone. ”

“…… This one's been punctured! ”

The Demon King smiles brightly and puts his essence right in front of his face.

“Yes, I hate you. That's why you kill. From now on, you'd better see for yourself how many of your kind I've killed. No, it's not. What can't you see about a human with his head blown off? ”

You hear a low voice as the Demon King tries to break the head of the Underworld.

“If you squeeze that hand, your head will fly away with you. ”

“ ……. ”

The Demon King's head slowly turns back.

“Who is this? ”

The voice of joy and fear came from the mouth of the Demon King who found Lee Hyuk holding his arms behind his back at the same time.

“Greetings. The ninety-ninth Demon King. ”
