Chapter 200 – 200. Interlude (3)
=====================
The southern continent, where hot winds always blow, was called forbidden by the elves, and was considered a land of monsters by the humans on the continent, and entry and exit was strictly controlled.
Do not set foot on cursed ground.
In chaos and chaos, beasts that move secretly will covet your body and soul.
As various heinous stories were passed down, the Southern Continent was considered a taboo area that was never allowed to be invaded or even set foot in hastily.
“Everything in the universe belongs to the owner.”
“Next time, I will definitely dedicate the kingdom of humans to the fist of greed.”
The leaders of the monsters who served Grid said with their heads bowed to the ground.
They feared the ruler’s wrath.
He shook his body in a cold sweat, wondering if he would pass on the anger of not being able to control the human kingdom.
However, Grid, who seemed to be lost in thought with his body lying in the valley, had no intention of expressing his anger or passing the blame on to others.
Because he found a desire more coveted than the kingdom of Valois.
– Yushin Gilead.
The only disciple of Sword Saint Reinhilder.
A demon king slayer who subdued both tyranny and heat waves.
A human who obtained the power and authority of the demon king by using the demon core of the heat wave stolen from the demon king of the heat wave.
Grid prided himself on having understood all the principles of this world while prospering through eternity and eternity, but the sudden appearance of Gilead, the God of Restoration, was enough to completely destroy the principles he had accumulated so far.
-To do all the inaccuracies that do not fall under the scope of reason…. I want to have it.
The only way to relieve greed is to indulge it while holding the object of greed in both hands.
As long as you don’t get hold of him,
A dry thirst like a crack in the throat will never be quenched. That’s why Grid was greedy, saying that one day he would definitely have Gilead, the God of Restoration, in his hands.
“Master, how are you going to deal with the heat wave?”
One of the monster leaders asked.
It was an old man with a long beard.
As the leader of the Lizards who ruled over the desert of heathen, he asked Greed about the treatment of Savnak.
-Summon Savnak.
Grid, sticking his head out between the towering ridges, looked down at hundreds of monster leaders and gave an order.
Before long, Savnak appeared.
Savnak, who returned safely from Valua Kingdom, reached the front of the grid while moving his steps confidently even in front of countless monsters following greed.
With her back straight, she faced the grid.
Glassy eyes shone.
He confronted greed with eyes full of resolute light.
“Grid.”
The red-haired demon king raised his head.
He maintained his confidence while looking at the gigantic beast with unfathomable dimensions.
If Grid, who failed to realize his greed, had the intent to kill himself, he would die a miserable death on the spot. However, Savnak waited for Grid’s words with a determined expression on his face as if he would protect his pride even if he died right away.
-Savnak, you safely fulfilled the terms of the deal.
To help the Vampire Queen complete the blood ritual.
That was the condition with Grid.
As the ritual of fresh blood was completed, the beast of lust was able to descend into the skies above the kingdom of Valua through a crack in the red sky.
Of course, the invasion ultimately failed, but… ,
Savnak fulfilled the terms of the deal he had with Greed.
“You have fulfilled the conditions you set out to do. I have paid all my debts by meeting all conditions, so I owe you nothing more.”
The reason why he couldn’t control the kingdom of Valois even after completing the ritual of fresh blood was because of a series of events that no one could have predicted.
The appearance of the pledgers.
Who could have predicted their appearance?
Knowing that, even the leaders of the monsters that followed Grid did not blame Savnak.
-Okay. I will give you your freedom back
Grid gave back the freedom that was in his grasp.
There is no longer any debt owed.
Having regained his freedom, Savnak and his men set out to leave the southern continent as soon as possible.
Grid. And his followers. Savnak felt a strong resentment towards those who held his men hostage and threatened them.
“Then release my men now. Are you going to lead my men across the sea again?”
I’ll start over.
From scratch again. Like it was in the past.
I will create a new army of demons and regain all the lands that were taken away by the elves.
In Savnak’s heart, hatred and resentment towards the elves still coexisted, and the hope that he would be able to form a force again with his subordinates coexisted.
-Your subordinates…. You must be misunderstanding something, Savnak. I promised to give you your freedom back, but I never promised to give it to your men.
“… What nonsense.”
Savnak’s face contorted mercilessly at Greed’s sudden remark.
Anxiety and fear,
Her determined expression began to crack.
-It means that Savnak, you are the only one who can escape from my grasp.
“Don’t be sophistry, Grid! Surely everything owed to you has been paid! I helped the vampires who were like prostitutes and completed the ritual of fresh blood. With that, the condition must have been met!”
Savnak shouted loudly in a furious voice.
The flames of the heat wave flared up.
Blackened flames engulfed her anger.
Savnak, who valued the lives and safety of her men more than his own, confronted Greed, knowing that he would only suffer a dog’s death.
– I have given you freedom. But you kicked it
With those words, Grid began to slowly move the giant body.
A huge mountain range seems to be wriggling.
Birds that had been sitting down for a while to relieve the fatigue of a long-distance flight flew up, and animals hunting for prey ran away in surprise at the change in the terrain.
The beast of lust moves.
Facing that mighty gaze, Savnak placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, prepared for his death.
* * *
Crown Prince Luan planned a war against the elves to repay the kingdom’s debt.
After winning the war against the elves,
It was a plan to sell the elves who had been turned into slaves.
And Princess Catherine mobilized the slave hunters to kidnap the elves, and she felt sexual satisfaction while torturing the captive elves terribly in the torture chamber.
“Dirty, mean bastards!”
“The reason for the frequent wars was to enslave the elves and sell them!”
“The Valois royal family must have been cursed by God and perished! After continuing to commit barbaric acts, he was punished by God!”
Documents leaked from the Congressional Home Office;
As the documents leaked by the assailant became known outside the world, a great stir began to rise in the kingdom of Valois.
All the hidden sides of Crown Prince Luane and Princess Catherine were revealed. And also, as the list of nobles who sympathized with them was revealed, the political situation of the kingdom of Valois, which had managed to calm down, was swept back into the whirlpool without a chance to calm down.
“Attack the cathedral where Crown Prince Ruan is buried!”
“He is the root of all evil! It is certain that Crown Prince Ruan brought disaster to the kingdom of Valois!”
All the citizens of the kingdom, who learned all about the ugly side, came out on the streets and condemned the royal family of Valois.
And he demanded the punishment of nobles who sympathized with the royal family. The confusion caused by the leak of Interior Ministry documents forced the Provisional Cabinet to deal with him.
“Can you hear those voices?”
A closed semi-basement space where you can only see the image of the ground through a small window.
A man who was facing 10 or so people, leaning against the wall, smiled and praised his achievements.
“It’s what I did, but it’s a masterpiece. All the flaws that the top heads of the kingdom were hiding were exposed outside the world.”
Druin Lee,
At the words of the man nicknamed the tyrannical sword, the man who was with his colleagues opened his mouth.
“Everyone cooperated as you asked. We mobilized our collaborators to spread information stolen from the Congressional Home Office. By now other countries should have started hearing about it.”
The man took off his bowler hat for a moment and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
It is very hot because it is in a small space.
In addition, it was all the more so for men because they had a sweaty constitution.
“One more thing. Princess Catherine, who had been abandoned by vampires, was restrained. She said that the princess became a member of the fresh-blooded clan without fail. She wasn’t particularly difficult, but… , So what is she going to do with Princess Catherine?”
“Casual retribution. You have to pay for what you did.”
“Hmm. It’s really good for us.”
It was decided to leave it to Druin to deal with the kingdom’s princess, who had fallen into a vampire.
Because that was the condition of the promise.
Besides, to them, the princess who became a vampire was not a very important person.
“We kept all our promises to you. Druin Lee, now it’s your turn.”
“I know, I know.”
At the words of the bowler hat, Druin raised his hands and stuck out his tongue.
About 10 men in front of me.
They were all wanderers from the other world who possessed the red stigma.
The wanderers of the other world gathered together for one purpose. It was to accept again a colleague who had been separated for a while. He was famous for his selfish personality and idiot until the end, but his skills were recognized by everyone, so he decided to accept it again.
“So what next? Didn’t our colleague say there were other people?”
The bowler hat nodded at Druin’s question.
“Colleague… , More like a collaborator. Not only is there no possibility of becoming one of our allies, but it’s also not a position that we dare to step over. Of course, for now, I intend to try to subsume. Perhaps the day will come when you will receive his help.”
“To return to the original world again.”
At Druin’s answer, the bowler hat man nodded in affirmation.
