Chapter 223 – Demon King Hela (5)
I wasn’t just at war either. I made a big decision and spent a lot of resources to build a ‘magic reinforcement stone’ wall surrounding the devil castle and monster city. The siege weapons that protect the castle walls were taken from the human kingdom and installed, and there are monster colonies outside the castle walls, impeding human access.
Additionally, the Demon Kingdom has achieved high technological advancement. I spent the resources of heart crystals to select talented people such as troll blacksmiths, troll shamans, ogre warlocks, and goblin merchants, and gave them professorships at the Demon Kingdom School, where they could study to their heart’s content. As they taught their research to students, the number of technical and magic occupations increased, and the economy became active. As the number of smart people increased, the administration also worked well.
I looked down from the sky at the city I had built.
“It’s a really beautiful city. It’s like Pandemonium… Ah! “This was a world of imagination.”
After being in the world of images for several years, I sometimes get confused whether the place I am in is real or virtual.
‘Maybe it would be good to live like this and marry Hella.’
I didn’t say the thoughts from a moment ago and just kept them in my head.
“The Empire must be gathering its troops right now. A preemptive strike is better than defense. “I will attack you so that the empire won’t lose its senses.”
According to information from Succubus Intelligence, the Empire has gathered many troops on its northern border. At night, I carried Donald and flew to where the Empire’s troops were gathered. When I looked down, it seemed like there was an army of almost 1 million people, including the regular imperial army, knights, wizards, nobles, and soldiers from small countries. And the materials needed to maintain them are also enormous. Seeing the nobles shouting loudly and checking on the soldiers, it is clear that the invasion of the Demon Kingdom will soon begin.
“Donald. Let’s use the tentacle sword special move ‘The End of the World.'”
“Quack quack.”
It’s a waste not to be able to use the human army as a resource, but the damage you’ll get when you collide with them is greater. The special move ‘End of the World’ can only be used once in a virtual world. Now is the right time, with the human forces gathered in one place. Donald and I went down to the ground about a kilometer away from the human army. When the human guards noticed us and shouted loudly, the knights came running.
Haha. Late. Fine del Mondo, the end of the world!”
“Pretty sweet!!!”
A terrifying purple energy surged like a pillar from the tentacle sword Donald held in the sky. Donald slashed the tentacle sword horizontally.
Clink, clink, clink, clink
As the space was broken, and the dense darkness revealed sucked in the human army, screams rang out from all directions.
“Ugh!!! “I want to live!!”
“Take my hand! Catch it… Ugh! “I’m getting sucked in too!!!”
“Your majesty! “Don’t die!”
“You can’t even teleport! Kwaaaaa!!!”
After a few minutes, the darkness disappeared and space returned, but what remained was an empty plain. There was a human army just now, but it is gone.
“Kkkk. Haha!!! It’s my victory!! Kyakyakya!!”
“Quack! Quack! Quack! Quack!!”
Me and Donald did a victory dance for 10 minutes. The very next day, I gathered an army of monsters and launched a massive invasion of the Empire. The empire that lost its king, nobles, and soldiers could not stop my monster army. I occupied several villages and cities and turned them into monster colonies.
Three more years passed while they occupied the continent and tracked down the human resistance, and it was the day before Hela’s 19th birthday. My monster army was waiting in front of the last human resistance base in a small castle at the southernmost tip of the continent.
I called Hella to the tent.
“Oppa!”
Hela came into my tent showing off her mature beauty. So much time has passed that I can’t tell if it’s a fantasy world or reality. Now, it is unclear what Hella originally was and what my original purpose was. Surely the bright Hella of today must be the real Hella.
I opened the wine cap and filled the glass.
“Hela. “We should have a glass of wine each to celebrate her 19th birthday.”
“I’m not an adult yet.”
“I know you’ve been drinking secretly.”
“Melong~”
Hela lifted her wine glass and took a sip.
“Brother. Tomorrow is the day we drive out humans from the continent.”
“Okay. It is the day when you and I win.”
Hela asked sexyly, tilting her upper body to reveal her cleavage.
“What will you do when you conquer the continent?”
Her eyes were sparkling meaningfully, as if they contained many emotions. I got up, got down on one knee before her, took a small box out of my pocket, and opened it. Inside, a transparent diamond ring was shining brightly.
“Hela. Will you marry me? Let’s rule the continent together.”
Tears of joy flowed from Hella’s eyes.
“Huh! I want to get married! Let’s get married!!!”
With a very happy face, Hella put her diamond ring on her left ring finger.
“Brother. I’m so happy today. It feels like a dream.”
Hela opened all her heart to Zeon as her own long-held dream came true.
Tiririring
“Hela received a world-class blessing, ‘A Girl in True Love.'”
At that time, my senses came to me.
‘Huh? A girl in true love?! Oh, right! I had seven wives! Damn… I forgot.’
Until just now, I had mistakenly thought that this was the real world and was trying to rule the continent with Hella. However, thanks to the notification in the status window, I remembered that I am currently in a virtual world. It’s good that Hela received ‘The Girl in True Love’, but I’m worried about the upcoming yandere side effects.
As I broke out in a cold sweat, Hella tilted her head.
“Brother? “What’s wrong?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
“Shall we sleep together?”
When Hella got up and came towards me, I held her tightly and whispered.
“Hela. You’re not 19 yet. Let’s do it tomorrow.”
“Uiii… I want to do it quickly~”
“Let’s wait one more day. “If I do it with you now, I’ll be punished.”
“Okay. But let’s hold hands, baby.”
“Okay.”
I fell into a deep sleep holding Hella’s hand.
.

The next morning, I ordered my entire army to occupy the human resistance base. Humans know that if they are caught, they will die, so they will resist until the last person, regardless of age or gender.
As the giant stone golems rush towards the castle and pound their bodies, the walls shake and the humans stumble.
Quaaaaang Quaaaaang Quaaaaang
While the humans are distracted, slimes, arachnes, and giant spiders climb the castle wall and attack the humans. Next, goblins, orcs, and undead installation ladders on the castle wall and climb up them. Thanks to repeated wars, monsters have evolved, and top-level units such as goblin champions and orc champions are also mixed in. The monsters easily occupied the castle walls and opened the gates. The humans inside tried their best to resist, but in front of the powerful monster army, they were like a light in the wind. Hela and I passed through the castle gate comfortably and watched the men trample on the humans.
Soon the Death Knights dragged out the unconscious resistance commander.
I was about to strike down the blade of my hand without thinking, but then stopped.
“I am the last human in this world of images. If you kill this human, Zeon will win and this world of images will disappear.”
‘Oh my… Today was the last day.’
I looked back at Hela. Even if her place is a virtual world that will soon disappear, I must tell her my true feelings because I loved her.
“Brother. Why do you look at me like that?”
I held both of Hella’s hands and confessed sincerely.
“Hela. “I love you.”
“I love you too, brother. Why are you so serious all of a sudden? Giggling.”
“Hela. Actually, this is the world in your mind. I came here to rid you of your hatred of the world. This man is your last hatred. Therefore, if we get rid of this person, the world of images will disappear, and we will open our eyes in the real world.”
Hela was startled, but then she looked wistful.
“I was vaguely aware of it too. There’s something strange about the heart decision or the menu board.”
“Hella…”
“And then. Sometimes I had a dream. In the dream, my brother and I were lying side by side. I had a dark mood and had dark circles under my eyes. Was that reality?”
“That’s probably right. Still. We’ve been here for 7 years. Our love doesn’t disappear that easily. “We will still love each other when we wake up.”
Hella hugged me.
“I will trust you. Even in the real world, I will never let go of my brother.”
“Thank you. “My heart is the same.”
When I struck the blade of my hand and smashed the head of the resistance commander, the world instantly went dark.
**************
I opened my eyes.
“Where am I?”
I am on the mattress in front of the throne, and Hella is sleeping next to me.
“Ah. “I won in the world of Greek imagery.”
“Zion!!”
I heard Jenny’s voice calling. It was a long time in the world of images, but when I woke up, my memories and spirit returned. It’s like a midsummer night’s dream.
“Jenny. “How much time has passed?”
“Today is the 6th day.”
“I slept a lot.”
At that time, Hella started tossing and turning and muttering.
“Ah. I miss you brother. Brother. Brother. I want to wake up~~”
Hela suddenly opened her eyes. He missed me so much that he woke up from the seal. When Hella’s eyes met mine, she flinched for a moment, but then she smiled.
“This is fascinating. Weren’t we enemies until we laid down? But now I don’t hate the world and I really like my brother.”
“Hela. Am I right? “We love in the real world too.”
“I see. Are you keeping your marriage promise?”
“Okay.”
“But what about the women behind you!”
Hela got angry, glaring at the women behind me.
Tiririring
“Hela is jealous and her Zeon corruption level increases. Zeon corruption level 20%.”
‘Shit. It’s the beginning again!’
If Hela, the demon lord, becomes a yandere, it becomes really dangerous. I felt intuitively that I had to submit to her now.
