Chapter 127 – 127. The Demon King’s Debt (1)
===================
Yushin and Ardena continued to remain in the Aquitaine Mountains to prepare for any possible danger.
The kingdom of Valois may raise an army.
Perhaps the elven rangers would fight across the border to avenge their compatriots.
Ardena felt sorry for Yushin.
It was because he was caught up in the circumstances of the elves again.
‘These days, abnormalities keep happening. Even if you are wary of Savnak in Granada, it is not enough, and following the tyrannical demon king, the kingdom of Valua is in trouble…. What the hell is going on?’
Is this really a coincidence?
Ardena had deep doubts about the successive incidents.
All of the current incidents are events that cannot be taken lightly.
Why do these things happen?
She may not be ashamed to reveal it to anyone, but Ardena wanted to make a solid relationship with Yushin while showing a more romantic side. It was natural for her to hold a grudge against enemies who stood in her way.
“Kuhm!”
Her face heated up.
Ardena cleared her throat and corrected her pounding heart.
“Yushin.”
Ardena, who witnessed Yushin’s back looking at the eastern area where the Valois kingdom is located, approached.
The sight of him made her feel uneasy.
With her heavy steps, she closed the distance from him.
I heard that most of the human slaves who came to Liberia’s Elven country miss their hometown and suffer from homesickness. Maybe he misses his hometown too. Of course, Another One are beings from another world… , For Yushin, who served in the Valua Kingdom for a long time, the Valua Kingdom is like a second home.
“I knew it until now. I knew that in the kingdom of Valois, countless sub-species, including elves, were being traded as slaves as tools.”
At Yushin’s muttering, Ardena quietly drooled.
He seemed to be still paying attention to what the slave hunter had said. Ardena replied that the villain was just making a fuss with sophistry and mischief.
“For humans as well as for elves. I’ll look like a dirty hypocrite Then when I was captured by you on the battlefield… , I thought it was causal retribution. Seeing sub-race slaves traded like tools, I thought it was a punishment for me for neglecting them.”
At Yushin’s muttering of guilt, Ardena grabbed his shoulders with an angry look.
He pulled Yushin’s shoulder as if he were pulling his collar. They got so close that their noses touched each other. Eventually, Ardena, eyes full of anger, stared at Yushin and shouted as if warning.
“Yushin. Yushin Gilead! You are by no means a hypocrite. None of us elves consider you a hypocrite. If there is such an ungrateful man, I will not let him go! So Yushin, please don’t dismiss yourself as a hypocrite.”
The man I love,
The hero I admire
Never a hypocrite
If he was simply a hypocrite, he would not have challenged the Lord of Ten Demons to save the elves of the Elves of Liberia. He still remembers how he fought fiercely with Savnak. That’s why Ardena felt genuine anger at Yushin’s behavior of degrading her as a hypocrite.
“Uh, yes….”
Yushin was quite taken aback as he did not expect Ardena to react so violently.
“But it’s a bit close.”
“Sigh!”
They were so close that their lips touched each other.
Ardena, who saw the strangeness in Yushin’s black eyes, widened her distance in surprise.
“Mi, I’m sorry…. But Yushin, since you’re talking nonsense… !”
Yushin burst into laughter at Ardena’s blushing cheeks.
“Ardena is like an older sister.”
* * *
Except for the elven rangers who returned after being kidnapped by slave hunters, there seemed to be no other damage.
She kept an eye on the border and increased vigilance.
The Kingdom of Valois was in a state of civil war to quell militias who rebelled throughout its territory, so it was always necessary to be vigilant.
It was unlikely that the kingdom’s army would cross the border with an army. It was Ardena who thought that the kingdom of Valois might be involved, but she judged that it was very unlikely that the kingdom of Valois would hostile the elven nation of Liberia in the face of a series of rebellions.
“Anxiety continues to precede.”
She put on a serious expression as Ardena tapped her arm opposite hers with her finger.
While Bariteon and other high-ranking warriors were mainly active on the frontlines of the Demon Lords, Ardena was a high-ranking warrior who was mainly active on the frontlines against the Kingdom of Valois. She has won many victories in the war against the kingdom, and her skills are also outstanding enough to capture her kingdom’s seven swords.
“Dae-senpai, I looked around and saw nothing else.”
“Good job, Liana Warriors.”
The Aquitaine Mountains are the territory of the elven rangers, and it is almost impossible for humans to fight against the elven rangers armed with spears and swords.
I thought so until now.
However, this incident changed my mind.
I don’t know how they used it, but the slave hunters kidnapped the rangers. Although he had withdrawn a large number of troops to deal with the Demon King’s army, it was difficult to understand that the Elf Ranger was captured by humans in the Aquitaine Mountains.
“I wonder if slave hunters have some kind of strange witchcraft….”
“I am concerned about that too.”
The human male named Carbaja never spoke.
So he was sent to Maherit.
There was also a plan to publicly execute him, but he mobilized the Shadow Clan to open the memories stored in his head and secure the secrets.
It is highly likely that you know Unlike the other humans who were killed by Liana, he seemed to know a lot.
“This side of the border is also in a precarious situation, but the problem is Savnak. I heard that he was betrayed and cornered by his men, but Savnak will not fall easily.”
Ardena did not let go of the string of vigilance.
Until we identified her body,
She is never caught off guard until she sees the decapitated corpse of the demon king with her blood spilled out.
‘Savnak lost his immortality at the blow of the Restoration. However, the demon king’s greatest weapon is his swordsmanship, which has reached its peak. As long as I have both hands left to wield the hilt… , I cannot deny the possibility that Savnak will be resurrected.’
Concerned about Savnak’s resurrection, Ardena opened her mouth as she looked at her to see if she had suddenly remembered what she had to say to her Liana.
“Liana warrior commander.”
“Yes, great senior.”
Is there a secret that needs to be communicated closely?
Seeing Ardena open her mouth with a serious expression, Liana put on a very tense expression.
She said, “Yushin looks like an ‘older sister’ to me, she said.”
“… Yes?”
“I don’t know exactly what that means.”
What the hell did I hear?
Liana thought so, and she thought that Ardena was making a joke out of place.
But she was Ardena, and she was infinitely serious. She sincerely says that she is troubled. Not once in her life was she an old virgin high elf who had never been in a relationship with anyone, so she was reacting severely while giving meaning to even the slightest actions of her boyfriend (supposedly).
‘In terms of age, it’s not an older sister, but an ancestor’s grandmother….’
She was Liana who muttered that inwardly, but she was aware that she should never let it come out of her mouth because she had been punished by Ardena on several occasions.
“Isn’t that what she means to be a will? No matter how strong she is, she wants to depend on someone.”
Liana said.
It was a crudely made statement, as if to make an excuse.
However, Ardena, who had always shown a solemn appearance, began to smile so hard that she could not control her expression.
“Hmmmm, is that so….”
She cleared her throat as Ardena raised her hand.
But in the end, she failed to manage her expression.
Her face, which had already lost her cool, continued to smirk like her wit.
“You fell in love with Yushin.”
“There are many cases where I am confused because it is an emotion I have never felt before….”
Ardena, who was talking with Liana, sensed her hasty steps towards them.
She felt the same way as Liana. She was watching the door. Eventually, the door opened and an elf ranger entered.
“Ardena warrior commander. Liana Warrior. An urgent telegram has arrived from Maherit.”
A melee is taking place against tens of thousands of demons besieging Granada.
At the words of the elf ranger, Liana gave an expression of disbelief, and Ardena nodded heavily as if she was prepared to some extent.
Savnak is not dead yet.
The demon king of the heat waves is enduring despite being surrounded by an almost innumerable army. It must be to avenge the demon lord slayer and the elves who made him suffer the agony of defeat.
Ardena is wondering how to convey this news to Yushin… , Showed hesitation.
* * *
The black flames soaring over Granada soon disappeared.
It was because she lost half of her magic core.
The remaining half of the Magic Cores became overloaded due to overuse, making it impossible to use the Power of Heat Wave.
All that was left was a sword.
At any moment, only her scrap metal sword remained by her side.
Savnak did not back down.
Despite being terribly poisoned by the machinations of demon sorcerers, both legs survived.
“With this single sword, I killed the former heat wave demon king and took possession of the demon core! Even though it’s only half, it won’t be easy to rob the magic core from me!”
At Sabnak’s shrill shout, the demons surrounding her retreated in an instant.
Don’t fall
Why can’t this woman, why can’t this monster fall!
He wore a terrified expression.
She screamed in fear.
The monster in the form of a woman was enduring with unbelievable mental strength even though the wounds from the battle with the Demon Lord Slayer were still not fully healed and poisoned by demon shamans.
“It seems that the sword has become faster.”
The black Minotaur, who was guarding the Demon King’s rear, said with a hot snort.
Savnak laughed at the words of his family.
“Does it look like that? If you say so, it must be so.”
Then the rest of the family arrived.
Ghost rider.
Demon knight.
And as the demons following Sabnak gathered one after another, a major change began to occur in the one-sided battle situation in Granada.
‘As I learned about death, the sword became faster. It has become more sophisticated, and I can feel the precision of the linkage between swords and swords increased.’
Savnak clenched his fists and spat out blood from his mouth.
Must survive
After killing all the traitors in front of me,
Together with comrades who are more precious than life, we will make a comeback again.
Even when he was defeated by El Cid, he somehow survived and founded the current Demon Lord Army.
If you can save your life… ,
If you survive this place,
I will challenge the Demon King Slayer again.
And he will slaughter all the elves who took everything from him.
“I’m sorry in the middle of the heat….”
The black spear swung and the demons surrounding Savnak were swept away.
Surprised by that, the demons backed away.
Thanks to all the giant demons boasting of their muscularity, they were able to see the spearman wielding a black spear.
He was wearing black full body armor, just like the black spear. His face was not visible because of his helmet and armor. Instead of his face, only the red eyes glowing in his helmet were visible.
“I’m here to collect the overdue payment, Demon King Savnak.”
King of all beasts,
A great lord who rules the southern continent and a demise who will one day bring a desert storm to the continent.
An existence that forms a precarious boundary with the elves in the west, the humans in the center, the demons in the east, and the dragons in the north. The Black Spearman told Savnak that he had come to get the payment his master deserved.
=====================
Debt?
Savnak doesn’t know that because he’s a baby.
