Chapter 274 – 24. Sorcery Kingdom Springfield
Siwoo Han doubted his ears.
What words came out of the mouth of the Hepatos Magistrate’s mouth that he heard correctly?
Phallic power.
Does this word fit the current context?
Most will probably deny it.
The expressions of Elaine and Hildear sitting next to each other must also be bizarre.
Even so, I couldn’t even express myself.
However, I tried to manage my expression, but the owner of the mage tower was more alert than that.
“Heh heh heh. Don’t be nervous. Do you understand me?”
“Ah yes…”
“Yeah, it must be embarrassing.”
The face of the mage’s bitterly smiling face was full of self-deprecation.
Thanks to that, Siwoo was no longer awkward.
Instead, he sat in a tense, firm posture.
If you change your mind, the reason the Master of the Magic Tower said this would be simple.
He barely retreats, losing many of his comrades.
It means that despite the analysis based on endless patience with a sense of revenge and mission, there is no way to defeat the demon king by force. And it was more terrifying than I thought to require phallic power, not force.
‘Phallus power is more influenced by talent. But now the world…’
“You’re right.”
Startle.
“Seven of the special forces survived. Four of them gave up at the end of their conclusion. And the three, including me, lived helplessly day by day. But hope was born. You, who are said to be the greatest talent in the history of the continent.”
“…”
Siwoo, who was staring at the magic tower, felt his stomach throb a little.
What happened to this bastard’s world keeps giving me a burden.
Although he received a formidable price by paying in advance, perhaps his role was too heavy.
‘I’m not saying I won’t do that.’
“By the way, I’m sorry to say this… But is it really not possible through force?”
“…”
“Ah, I’m not ignoring you, including the Lord of the Mage Tower. It’s just…”
“It’s okay. I know what you mean.”
“Ahaha…”
Siwoo smiles awkwardly at the tower owner, who makes a calm expression as if he doesn’t care if he doubts it.
There were only a few things that were strange to him.
For example, is it possible to judge that far with just one battle?
“I’d like to tell you this and that, but our special forces have banned it together. Thanks to that, very few people know about the existence of the Demon King. And even less know about its danger. Otherwise…”
“The continent will fall into chaos. Maybe it will be a meaningless fight.”
“Exactly so.”
She was the one who got the answer right sharply, but Elaine laughed bitterly.
Even in the Holy Empire, the existence of a demon king that he did not even know was in a position that could be counted on his hand.
Only a handful of people really know.
Perhaps the pope or one saint knew about it.
Still, was it the belief in hope that kept the demon king a secret? Or was it because he didn’t want to make other people despair? I don’t know why, but it was a bit bitter. At least I had to tell the people in the meeting.
‘I’ll have to go and find out later.’
“Then, please tell me what you can.”
“Okay. Actually, I’ve said pretty much everything I can, and all that’s left… I guess that’s why we came to this conclusion.”
It was an extension of what Siu asked earlier.
Why is it that power is not enough and can only be suppressed with the strange means of phallic power?
Hepatos Magic Tower Master raised his hand.
Then he stretched out one of his index fingers and pointed up.
The three of them didn’t just follow his fingers and look up.
It was because he easily understood what his index finger meant.
“The main god and the ten goddesses. And the six demons. They possess immense power that a criminal can’t even imagine.”
“…?”
“But they never intervene on the ground. Do you know why?”
It was Hildear who answered this time.
“Isn’t it because the gods keep each other in check in the heavens?”
“Hmm. That’s not wrong either. But there’s a more fundamental reason.”
“…Even for the supreme goddess, there are limits to intervening on the ground, I guess.”
“Haha. That’s great! It’s rare to find someone who got this right.”
Siwoo scratched his cheek, saying it was nothing.
I remember hearing a glimpse of it when I was talking to the goddess, and I just threw it out as a cliché that often appears in subcultures such as novels and games. Didn’t even the Constellations impose restrictions on those who were like gods?
“That’s right. It’s a kind of restriction. That’s why the goddesses use creatures like us, believers.”
“The representative of the six Demon Gods…”
“That’s right. This is all smart. The Demon King is the representative of the six Demon Gods. That ridiculous, out-of-this-world power comes from there.”
“I see. Even that power is actually limited. The six Demon Gods gathered their strength and gave the Demon King tremendous power, and in return, a weakness was created.”
“Hehe. If you pretend, you’ll pretend. That’s the conclusion we came to. No matter how many decades we’ve been locked in an egg, and all six demons have joined forces, that’s… It really was a force beyond common sense…”
The voice of the owner of the mage tower trembles just by recalling what happened at that time.
I roughly understood.
There are still some parts that I am not convinced of, but it seems that this is an issue that needs to be explored gradually.
There is no way to know the details since the Hepatos Magic Tower lord is banned right now.
The conversation about the Demon King ended here.
“Now, let’s go back to square one. Say what you want.”
“Um, then…”
Siu thought about it for a while, but he immediately commissioned the desired artifact from him.
The cost was expensive, but considering that the opponent was the best artifact maker on the continent, it was a pittance.
Moreover, it is received not only in money, but also in other artifacts and materials.
It was a good thing for Siu, who had picked up valuable materials from the Slavic kingdom.
“Then see you next time.”
“Yes, I’ll send the finished one to Palania’s mansion later.”
“Thank you.”
“Hehe, thank you very much.”
Siwoo bowed politely until the end and left the mage tower with the two of them on either side.
Rumors of his meeting with Hepatos Magic Tower have already spread.
It also lasted longer than most of the clients.
Thanks to this, they received a lot of attention at once, but now the three of them were busy with the devil.
In particular, compared to Hildear, Siu and Elaine were a little more complicated.
Siwoo knew the existence of the demon king and that it was stronger than most warriors. However, he knew for the first time that he was strong enough to be feared by even the most talented players of the previous generation. That’s because he’s never seen the Demon King.
‘Because it had nothing to do with me, a C-class hero. Mmm.’
Like most knowledge, I heard about the demon king only by hearsay.
During the final war, it is the demon king who leads the demons.
And that Dong Bang Cheong-ha, who was an SS-class warrior to the demon king, died.
Just like this.
‘The reason we lost the war wasn’t just the quality of our soldiers.’
I just thought it was enough to become the center of the continent, save some people who were about to die, and strengthen the existing forces.
But I never thought I would have to deal with the Demon King.
Nothing else, but downstairs.
Come to think of it, it was a cliché-like story.
The battle between the hero and the demon king.
“…Ah.”
“Why is that?”
“Demon King. A woman, right?”
“…Isn’t that so? You mentioned phallic power.”
“Hmm. I don’t even know how to prepare.”
Siwoo burst out laughing without even realizing it.
The faces of Elaine and Hildear looked a little anxious and worried.
It was because he was already on a mission to prevent the destruction of the world, and he was afraid that he would feel more burdened by the fact that he was dealing with the demon king. I was worried that there might be some kind of problem because of the pressure.
Hildear stared at Elaine.
Sensing her gaze, the saintess nodded her head.
“…Huh? What, why are you holding hands all of a sudden?”
“Siwoo-nim, do your best.”
“No matter what Siwoo does, we are on Siwoo’s side.”
“Hehe, yes. I will do my best because of you.”
Warm comfort was conveyed through the hands held by the lovely girls.
Happiness comes out naturally, and emotions overflow from the depths of the heart.
Han Siwoo suddenly smiled sinisterly, let go of his hand, and instead wrapped his arms around their waists.
“Awesome…!”
“Huh, Siwoo-sama is also cha-am♡”
“Let’s go. Let’s have lunch and enjoy sightseeing with the other kids.”
“Great!”
The thought of the demon king pushed into a corner of his head.
I decided to leave the worries to my future self.
I may regret it when the time comes, but it’s not an issue that won’t come out easily and will change urgently just because I’m preparing now. If so, at least one of the commandos, including the owner of the mage tower, would have approached in the first place.
‘On the contrary, it’s fortunate that the demon lord’s sleep is certain.’
The war is unconditionally 10 years later.
Even though the Demons may plot behind the scenes, they will not declare war until the Demon King wakes up.
“How about lunch?”
“I think there’s something good about the note Marie told me about.”
“Ah, that’s right. It’s a dish from Springfield…”
This is the Mystica Empire.
Although a creature created by the main god of this world, a nation uniquely betrayed the goddess and sided with the six demon gods. Just as the main god did not create only humans, the Mystica Empire is a country of unmistakably heterogeneous people.
The Great Hall, the most sacred place in the Mystica Empire.
So-called magic station.
In the center of it is an altar.
Pounding. Pounding. Pounding.
And on top of that altar was a huge egg.
The surface of an egg that is neither leathery nor hard shell.
It looked more like a round creature than an egg.
The pulsation that could be heard even at the entrance to the room where the altar was located indicated it.
Wriggling
“…?”
The priest who was watching the egg where the demon king sleeps makes a puzzled expression.
It was because the egg showed a different movement than the usual pulse.
Pounding. Pounding. Pounding.
However, as if that had never happened, the egg was beating with a regular pulsation.
“Is it an illusion?”
“I hope it can’t be.”
“…?! Seo, Succubus Queen?”
“Hello~.”
“What’s going on here…”
The priest was wary of the succubus queen.
In the not-too-distant future, all demons promised to join forces with the demon king at the center. It is not only to end the war with victory, but also because the six demon gods they serve gathered together to give an oracle.
But apart from that, demons are competing for each other’s interests.
Over ten demonic forces.
The Succubus Queen proudly took the lead of one of them.
“I briefly heard that you came to Jedo to report something interesting.”
“Is that so…”
“Yeah. But it’s amazing, this egg.
“Succubus Queen. You’re sleeping in an egg right now, but you’re still the Demon King…”
“Huh. Who doesn’t know? It’s the demon king. He’s been sleeping for nearly 100 years already.”
“It’s not that old yet. Eighty-five years at most. And thirty-five of those years…”
“Ah, yes. Yes. You’re recovering from an injury because we couldn’t stop the continental guys from invading and came out 5 years early. I mean. I came out a little early and got injured and slept for another 35 years. How much longer do you want to sleep? .”
“Nine years.”
“Huh? Nine years?”
“Yes. There is recovery from injuries, but the six Demon Gods are giving the Demon King the strength to prevent something else.”
“It’s something else… Those unidentified alien monsters.”
“That’s right.”
The succubus queen turned her head away from her priestess and gazed at the egg again.
She spoke harshly, but she could also feel the mighty power felt in her egg.
Even though I have to sleep for 9 more years, even if I wake up now, I feel like I will never lose.
Still, you’re gaining strength by spending more time.
‘The reason why the world became strange. Just how dangerous are they?’
“It’s a really troubled world.”
The Succubus Queen turned her back and left.
Her priest also did not catch her because of her stubbornness.
The demons were busy bickering and fighting, but they also had the same desire to protect this world itself. Therefore, no one can stop the resurrection of the demon king. The continent will no longer be able to invade this place.
‘The seeds planted everywhere will soon bloom. Not many, but… That would be enough to buy me time.’
The priest refocused and guarded her egg.
As always.
At that time, Han Si-woo returned to the Kingdom of Palania.
“No, crazy. What is this again?”
“Kyaa! Siwoo-nim is so cute!”
Body was small.
Just like when you were a boy.
