Chapter 220 – Demon King Hela (2)
I realized everything.
‘A damn thing did a damn thing.’
In actual history, while the monster generals were driving out the humans, the embattled king of the empire would have used the teleport prepared in advance with the magic tower lord to escape to the empire. However, because this is an imaginary world where Hella’s most powerful trauma is embodied, humans are overwhelming the monsters. Hela cried out in sorrow every time the monster generals were killed one by one.
“Ugh!! Grandpa Dede! “Don’t die!”
“Halab! Don’t get hurt!!! “Aaaaak!”
When Hela dies in this world of images, Her ego becomes deeper and deeper. Now that the humans have killed all the monster generals, it is time to leave.
“Everyone stops!!!”
When I shouted, the humans turned to look at me. The human king shouted, pointing at me with his divine sword.
“Look at those huge horns! The author is also a demon! Kill it!!!”
I thought about fighting with my cock tentacle, but I thought it wouldn’t be good for young Hela’s mental health, so I stopped. Instead, she took out her tentacle sword that Lena had made for her.
“Come. You rotten people.”
When the human knight blocks the sword strike with the tentacle sword, the tentacle jumps out, grabs the human knight’s arm, and crushes it. He slightly dodges the mace that the priest swings by stepping and swings the tentacle sword to blow away the priest’s upper body. When I extend my tentacle sword, the tentacle grows longer and pierces the chests of the humans running in front, spouting acid and melting them. I kicked the ground and rushed at the human king.
Haha! Search!!!”
“Ahh! Magic tower lord!”
“Yes! Your majesty! Teleport!!!”
When the magic tower lord used magic, the human king and the magic tower lord disappeared in an instant.
“It’s not a spell that was cast in a moment. “It’s a magic I’ve been preparing for a long time.”
The remaining humans gave up on me and tried to rush to Hella, but I moved faster and stood in front of Hella.
“You must overcome me.”
The remaining humans all died from my overwhelming attack.
When I looked back, I saw Hella crying with an expression on her face that her life had been ruined.
“Ugh!!!! Ahhh!!! Dad! Grandfathers!! “Don’t leave me alone!!!”
“Hela. It’s very sad, isn’t it?”
“Ugh!!! Sniff. Sniff. Ahhh!! “Who are you?”
“I’m not an uncle, I’m an older brother. I, too, am a demon like you. Now my brother will protect you.”
Hela buried her face in my arms and cried bitterly.
At that time, one of the monster generals, a large blue cat with a bell around its neck, vomited blood and called to me.
“Cough. Cough. Who are you?”
“My name is Zeon. “Are you still alive?”
“Your life will disappear in just a few minutes.”
Hela ran up to the cat and hugged it.
“Ugh! Doraemon Grandpa! “You can’t die!!!”
“I’m sorry that I can’t watch our pretty princess grow up.”
“No! “You have to give me toys from now on!!”
“Cough. Cough. “This is the last gift.”
Doraemon took out a bamboo helicopter from the pouch on his stomach and placed it in Hella’s hand.
“If you put this on your head, you can fly.”
“Sniff. Sniff. “I want to fly with Grandpa Doraemon.”
Hehe. I will just accept your heart. “Please come here.”
Doraemon held my hand tightly and asked.
“I traveled through a portal and ended up on this continent and ended up working for the Demon Kingdom. Hela is like my granddaughter. Please protect our Princess Hella from evil humans.”
I answered him with a serious face and determination.
“I will risk my life to protect Greece.”
“Ah… This old man can go in peace. Princess Hela. “You need to listen carefully to what your brother says and become stronger.”
Doraemon soon passed away. Hela held Doraemon’s body and cried for a while longer. When Hela was tired of the pain and stopped crying, I telekinetically lifted the bodies of the Demon King and the monster generals and carried them out of the Demon King’s castle. There was no one in this castle except Hella and me, and the castle was shabby, and the surrounding area was empty.
‘How can there not be a single helper?’
When I stretched out my hand and used telekinesis, the soil was dug up and pits were created in front of the Demon King’s Castle. I put the demon lord and monster generals in the pits and covered them with dirt. Hela sobbed and put up a sign on the grave.
[Dad], [Grandpa Dede], [Grandpa], [Grandpa Doraemon]…
When the tomb was finished, Hela looked up at me and asked a question.
“Brother. What do I do now?”
‘I don’t know what to do either.’
To be honest, I had no idea either.
‘Does Hella have to live with her in the world of imagination until she becomes an adult?’
Tiririring
The status window provided information at the right time.
「※Quest description: This is the world of Greek imagery. There is a heart-shaped crystal in the Demon King’s scepter. The numbers written on top of the crystal are ‘resources’. You can use resources to expand the Demon King’s castle and summon monster minions. Resources will replenish when Hela trusts and likes you, and will replenish even when you add human corpses. If Hela dies or her heart-shaped crystal breaks, Hela’s ego will fall deeper and deeper, and you will be defeated by the Annihilator. In this current world, except for you and Hela, there are only enemies. The enemy is all humans, including the Empire. All human beings must be eliminated because ‘Greek means a feeling of hatred toward the world.’ Humans will attack the Demon King Castle in the future, so please defend it well.
※Defeat condition: Hela’s death or heart crystal destruction.
※Victory condition: Human extermination.”
This is a clear explanation.
‘So, it’s a defense game where you expand dungeons and kill enemies while blocking waves. Can you summon Donald?’
“Donald is Zeon’s unique ability, so he can be summoned for free.”
‘Kikiki. The cheat key is good.’
I smiled trustingly at Hella.
“Hela. In the future, bad people will attack the Demon King’s Castle.”
“Ugh! Then what should I do?”
“Oppa is strong, so I will stop you. My brother will make the Demon King’s castle better and his subordinates as well.”
“Really?!”
“Then. I’ll call my first summon, Donald. Donald!!”
Donald came out of thin air.
“Quack quack!!”
“You will take charge of the tentacle sword from now on.”
“Pretty cute!!”
Hela cheered with an innocent smile.
“Wow!! It’s a duck-headed man!!”
Perhaps because she is the daughter of the devil, she is not afraid of Donald at all. Hela ran to Donald and hugged him tightly. I think it’s nice that the duck down is soft. Donald read my mind and patted Hella.
When I returned to the hall, a human-sized red heart crystal had indeed formed in front of the throne. Hela seemed to like her heart decision and ran around in circles. When Donald brought the human corpses and threw them into the heart crystal, the corpses were absorbed, and the resources rose to 12000.
‘We put in a total of 24 people, so it’s roughly 500 per person. ‘Why are you giving me so much?’
Tiririririn
“The people I just caught are strong, so I give them a lot of resources. The stronger or more famous the body, the more points you get. Human serfs give 1 resource.”
“Let’s see what we can summon.”
A large menu board appeared in front of the heart crystal. Hella is snooping around as if it’s fascinating.
“Wow. Brother. What is this?”
“With this, you can strengthen your castle and create subordinates.”
“Can you save Dad too?”
“I’m sorry…”
“Sniff. Sniff. Aaaaa!!”
“Let’s make friends with this!”
There were three options on the menu: [Summon an object], [Summon a monster], And [Strengthen the Demon King’s Castle].
“What is summoning an object?”
When I clicked to summon an item, examples ranged from ‘Toothbrushing Set (1 point)’ to ‘Meteor Scroll (500 points)’. When I told the item I wanted, it told me how much I needed.
Monster summoning was possible from ‘Goblin (1 point)’ to ‘Death Knight (500 points)’.
Strengthening the Demon Castle allows you to use points to expand the Demon Castle, build walls, and install traps and siege weapons.
“This is an unbalanced game. Are the imperial king’s confidant the same as a death knight? I thought the knight I killed earlier could take on 3 Death Knights by himself? And if you fight 500 goblins and 1 Death Knight, the Death Knight will just win. There is no answer to killing one serf and giving him a toothbrushing set.”
In the end, I think Donald and I will have to fight hard like a hero unit and earn points.
Rumbling
At that time, an alarm clock sounded from Hella’s stomach. When you feel relaxed, you become hungry.
“Give me something to eat.”
[Soboro bread and milk set (1 piece)]
“Crazy… Isn’t it too salty?”
Tiririririn
“Getting heart crystals is expensive. A better way to save points is to cultivate the field and cook it yourself. As for weapons, it is a good idea to craft them yourself. Ore resources are dropped by killing humans. Use the gnome blacksmith in the beginning. Monsters become stronger or evolve as they gain experience. In other words, it takes more time to buy and raise the lowest level monsters rather than the highest level monsters, but it is a way to save resources.”
Hela looked up at me with her bright eyes and asked a question.
“Brother. “Is there only soboro bread?”
In order to build up Hella’s favor, I think I’ll have to give her something delicious.
“Give me the children’s pork cutlet set.”
[Children’s Pork Cutlet Set (5 pieces)]
“Ugh. Why is it so expensive? Still, give it to me.”
When the children’s pork cutlet set came out of the heart decision, Hella accepted it with a bright smile.
“Aaaaah! Looks delicious!! Brother! Thank you~”
[Hela’s favorability increases: Resources +5]
“I don’t think there’s any need to save on giving it to Hela.”
While Hella enjoyed the pork cutlet, Donald and I stuffed ourselves with soboro bread and milk. Hella looked at us pitifully and offered us a piece of pork cutlet, but I smiled and declined.
Afterward, I acquired 500 Lesser Skeletons (5 points), 5 Gnome Blacksmiths (10 points), 50 Trained Demon Maids (50 points), 5 Death Knights (500 points), 4 Liches (500 points), and Chickens (500 points). 50 rabbits (5 points), 50 rabbits (5 points), 20 pigs (10 points), 10 cows (10 points), 10 dairy cows (10 points), 50 sets of crop seeds and farming tools (100 points), I bought 50 10 kg bags of flour (5 points), 200 permanently preserved hams of 2 kg (5 points), and 2 1000 pills (10 points) of comprehensive nutritional supplements.
A total of 11822 resources were withdrawn, leaving the remaining resources at 178. The 500 low-level skeletons were purchased to be used for chores, not combat. Because they are undead, they can move forever without stopping, but since they have no ego, they only do what someone tells them to do. Trained demon maids have high intelligence and can fight like skilled assassins in dangerous situations. I entrusted 10 lower-level skeletons to the demon maids and had them each do tasks such as cleaning, cooking, laundry, livestock management, and farming. The demon maids responded kindly when Hela spoke to her, so Hela’s friend problem was also solved. Gnome blacksmiths worked in the blacksmith shop of the Demon King’s Castle, repairing and making farming tools, tableware, and weapons. Death Knight and Lich were chosen because they are the highest level units of undead with egos, and are as strong as high-ranking human knights or wizards, but do not consume food. Death Knights and Liches will join Donald and me in defending the Demon King’s Castle and attacking the enemy. Flour, ham, and comprehensive nutritional supplements were purchased to be used as food until livestock and crops grew. In the beginning, more resources were consumed than expected for a stable life.
A week has already passed as I’ve been giving various orders and management.
