Chapter 474 – The Demon King Doesn’t Avoid Challenges
Chapter 474: The Demon King Doesn’t Avoid Challenges
“Since you have given birth, I ask the Demon King to compete as promised.”
To understand the background of these crazy sounds, we need to go back in time for a moment.
It was around the time when Kamyu defeated Alberic, changed into a magical power runaway god of destruction, and fainted after being saved.
It was the day when the Hwan Empire’s volunteers arrived through the dimensional gate and saved the castle from Marquis John’s fierce attack.
Purr.
“Whoa, whoa.”
Hwarangs riding horses into the castle.
Choi Hoon, a soldier in the blue sea, led them to the open space in the castle, the plaza.
“Welcome!”
Demon Lord Rumika greets you in Akkadian.
“Master!”
Although the pronunciation is a bit awkward, Stella greets you with a language that conveys the content well enough.
“Heh heh heh.
Dude, it’s been a while.
The height is still the same.”
“Tooth… !
What are you talking about?!”
It is Bihyeongrang, the trumpeted strategic weapon of the Hwan Empire, who taught Stella dimensional magic and observation magic.
“Heh heh heh.
If you look closely, only your belly has grown.
Eating a lot doesn’t make you taller.”
“Because you’re pregnant?!”
“Oops.
When did you get married?!
As long as you don’t give this master a connection.
I’m sorry.”
“Euggu.
I’m sorry…”
“Okay.
Even though it’s a different matter, I can see you, so didn’t I fly across two continents and three seas at once like this?”
With the dimensional wizards solving the plot, Choi Hoon, a soldier in the military, acted as an interpreter.
Hwarangdo from a horse.
A stout Eastern man who had walked ahead of them greeted them with a composite bow on his back.
“Meet the great leader of the demon king, Bernstein, the demon king.”
The man who shot his bow tore off the blue dragon’s wings and made it crash.
You need to keep an eye on it.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for flying such a long way.
Demon King Rumika Theresia Bernstein.
I never thought you would bring so many people through the portal at once…
Bring the water dragon there…
I was impressed by the grace of the king.”
Twice, twice.
No matter how much I look around, the dragon that flew through the sky with a yeouiju in its mouth, spraying storms and striking lightning is nowhere to be found.
“Hey, the water dragon… ?”
“Ah, here you are.”
A dark-eyed woman with large breasts that did not suit her petite frame greeted her.
“Greetings to the Demon King.
My name is Park Min-jung, the princess of the Hwan Empire.”
“””?”””
Everyone’s eyes widened.
“The royal family of Asadal’s Park family is said to have the blood of shapeshifters for generations…
I didn’t expect you to turn into a dragon and strike lightning.”
Rumika’s admiration.
“To think that the royal family is stepping out in person.
The great king’s generosity fills the four seas.
I am also grateful to Master Poongwol for stepping up like his own.”
When I thanked Hwarang for carrying a bow on his shoulder, he waved his hand.
“Yes? Me?
No.
Haha.
My name is Kim Seon-gyeon, a former member of Hwarangdo and a member of the royal family of Seonggol.
Please feel free to call me Giparang.”
In the royal family of the Hwan Empire, the Park, Seok, and Kim clans take turns serving as kings.
They have three surnames, but they are all royalty.
Seeing Minjeong standing quietly next to Kiparang, Rumika guessed that they were related by blood or deeper.
“And the head of Hwarangdo is not me, but this side.”
Kiparang, who was of average height and stocky build, smiled shyly and introduced the tall blind swordsman next to him in clumsy Akkadian.
‘This one… ?
Wasn’t he the one who wielded twin swords on a horse?
Was he blind?’
A tall handsome man with closed eyes.
A swordsman who dropped the Silver Dragon by harmoniously drawing sword skills containing the energy of fire and ice.
He stumbled across the floor with one long cane sword, and put another long sword around his waist.
“This is the famous Sword Saint Sadaham.”
“This is Sadaham, the owner of the wind moon.
Calling it a swordsman is an exaggeration.”
A blind swordsman who greets politely in the language of the Hwan Dynasty.
If Agnes had never met Agnes, who always fought while blindfolded, everyone would have thought that he was just a human pretending to be blind.
“Did I say ‘Taegeuk Yin-Yang Ji Wi-Do’?
That special move really impressed me.”
Rumika’s pure admiration.
Flame Qigong and Ice Cold Qigong are both powerful natural Qigong, but their properties are different.
Bringing the two together is inefficient and close to impossible.
So no one was interested and didn’t even try.
But wasn’t it the swordsman who did it?
‘Even though you can’t see, you ride a horse and use twin swords?
Won’t you fall off your horse?
How good are your legs?!’
When Choi Hoon translated Rumika’s praise, he replied.
“It is overrated.
A collapsed mountain, a dried-up river, and a dimensional rift on the demon castle over there.
I heard that these are all achievements achieved by the devil’s special move.
Is that correct?”
“I didn’t do it alone, but that’s about it.”
To be precise, she did it with her husband’s fusion special move, ‘Asura’s sword dance that can destroy even the sky’.
When Sadaham heard that, he said something.
“#%$@$%@?!?!?!”
Hoon Choi, who was interpreting, was taken aback and stopped interpreting and asked back.
Puck!
Giparang hit his side with his elbow.
“What did you say, my queen?”
“To… Therefore…”
Stella, who could speak the language of the Empire, was by his side, so he was able to hear the absurd words.
“You say you really want to compete as a martial artist?”
A very rude word.
The head of an elite unit that has arrived as an alliance, as soon as they meet, asks the alliance leader to compete?
Even to the king?
“I’m sorry, Maou-nim.
To commit such rudeness, because Poongwolju bumped his head against a dragon’s foot during a fierce battle… Haha…”
“That’s right.
Maybe I want to compete with the head of the enemy country. .”
Ki Parang and Choi Hoon are sweating profusely and trying to make things right somehow.
Rumika put her hand on her belly and she didn’t mind replying.
“Queen.
Please translate.
‘Let’s compete once after giving birth.'”
“Yes… ?”
“How difficult is that?
Let’s stick together after the baby is born.”
The Demon King was hot.
“The Demon King does not run away.”
Firm speech.
Confident tone.
“The Demon King is a symbol of strength.
One who connects all tribes with strength.
I accept any challenge.”
Ran tries to stop it, but to no avail.
“That is the Demon King.”
***
In any case, it seems that Sadaham was eager for sparring thanks to such incidents.
Sadaham stood in front of Rumika holding a cane instead of a sword with her eyes closed (entry is prohibited after wearing a weapon at a banquet).
Puck. Puck!
Ki Parang and Park Min-jung hit Sa Da-ham’s side from both sides.
Haha!
Pungwolju sincerely congratulates the Mawangnim on his dissolution, and when he is warmed up later, he proposes how to strengthen friendship by exchanging martial arts between the two countries…”
Soldier Choi Hoon sweats profusely and tries to make excuses, but only after Stella, who was already sitting next to him, translated.
Thanks to that, I was able to listen to it well.
“That’s a good word.
To cheer up, a hot bout right now…”
“Wait for a sec!
Rumi, you had a baby the other day?!
Do you think sparring two days after the birth date makes sense?!”
“Brother, don’t do something wrong.”
“Oba is what you do!”
“I’m fine…”
“No.
Choi Gong, don’t translate.
As the national secretary, as the vice-king and general of the Demon King’s army, I will never allow it!
No, and how could you be so rude?
Thank you for helping me defeat the enemy while I was lying down, but I’m sorry for being angry at a guest who came from afar, but to apply for sparring directly to the king of the allies.
Even for a woman who gave birth the other day!
There’s no such thing as being rude!
Do you apply for sparring at a time when the opponent is weak because you want to raise your honor somehow?
Aren’t they from a country far away from the East where polite people live?”
“Sin, sin, sorry.
If you ask for a competition, why do you deliberately ask at a time when you are not ready?!
Our Pungwolju was unable to relax during the winter season until he subdued the northern rebels, so his words and actions were lacking… !
Please forgive me.”
The careless soldier Choi Hoon (I got into trouble twice because of that bastard. Once when I called the knife as ‘Nene♡ Kamyu’ in Cheonghaejin and once when I asked Mari to say ‘Nene’, which I had only heard of), was embarrassed and apologized instead. Looking at it, it seems that the title of Poongwolju is not just the head of a special forces unit, but rather a position with considerable authority.
“How can you make the sound of explosions and the clashing of knives on an auspicious day?
Please show the devil’s generosity.
Here we ask you to accept the gift we have brought and to dispel your anger.”
Kiparang deliberately stepped on Sadaham’s foot and lifted the gorgeous jewelry box.
It’s a fairly large box, but that wasn’t enough, so Park Min-jung, a sacred bone, came out with another jewelry box studded with pearls.
“@#@#$&*.”
As Giparang passed by the sadaham, he clenched his molars and muttered in a low voice.
[Shut up.
Before killing him.]
… Is it an informal relationship?
Or did you not get along well?
There was a reason why Giparang, a member of the royal family and Hwarang, went first.
That blind swordsman must be in an uncontrollable stupid position.
Feeling roughly like the young Cannes?
That’s why he had to accompany two people of high status who were incompetent.
Click.
When Giparang opened the jewelry box, a blue corundum the size of his fist was revealed.
“It is a sapphire called ‘Heart of the Ocean’.
I received it from the Dragon King of the East Sea in particular because the Demon King is good at wearing fancy clothes and accessories.”
“Ouch, what kind of things~”
“Brother… I love you so much… Take care of your expression.”
“Kuh, kuhm!”
Click-.
“This is the jewel Taewang-nim chose himself after hearing about the demon king-nim’s red hair.
It’s called ‘Autumn Sunset’.
I believe you will get along well with the Demon King.”
When a sacred bone woman named Park Min-jung opened the box, a ruby larger than her fist, also beautifully cut, appeared.
“It is very beautiful.
Thank you for giving me such a great gift.
I express my gratitude to the King Tae and the Dragon King of the East Sea.”
Rumika, who loves her fancy, is leaning forward with her eyes twinkling.
“You’re welcome.
In addition, silk, ginseng, pottery, and books were loaded onto the cart.
I’m importing it now, but it’s taking quite a while.
Please accept it.”
Ki Parang and Park Min-jung nodded.
Eh, it’s nice to give something expensive, but how do you get that gift in return?
I won’t buy Gao, I can’t return it cheaply…
It’s not a public trade, but isn’t it something you can’t wash your mouth after receiving it?
“Bring a gift in return.”
Rumika beckoned, and her maid opened an antique box.
A beautiful bird carved from a whole head-sized emerald.
“Because the king likes beryl, so I tried crafting it beautifully.”
“To think that you are crafting that fragile beryl so meticulously… !
I didn’t know that the demon king’s jewelry crafting skills would be this much… !”
“Thank you, Demon King-sama!”
Huh?
Did we have anything like that?
Emerald is a gem with extremely weak durability, so you can never do that.
“Rumika, where did you get that?”
“It was among the things my brother robbed from Nuvacane’s lair.”
The leader of Amitie’s guardian dragon has a lot of things.
“Where did you get your handiwork done like that?”
“The quality assurance document says it was made in the Sky Castle, right?”
“Is it heavenly skill… ?
No wonder.
He was very good at handwork.
Do you have anything else to give me?”
“Doesn’t exist…
It’s a waste, but what should I do?
They give you something like that over there.
We have to save face too.”
That’s right
To those who projected military forces far across the sea, this much has to be done to stand the side.
Cheonghaejin, an anti-piracy organization directly under the royal family and a trading organization.
Giving expensive things to the King of Hwan, who roams the seas of the world, is meaningless.
The money will rot and overflow.
In a neighborhood where every house smokes charcoal to cook rice, pours alcohol into a glass, and paints roof tiles with gold, it doesn’t even show up when you give them expensive ones.
It is important to give rare things that have never been seen.
New experiences, never-before-seen items.
Let’s buy our hearts with something like that.
“In addition to this, I will give you the skin, teeth, and bones of the green dragon you hunted this time.
The bones are numbered on paper for each part, so I think you can take them to the portal and assemble them.”
“The remains of a fire dragon green dragon…
I was impressed by the great grace of the Demon King.
Even the Great King will be delighted with the rare items.
Especially the green dragon skin that Taewang likes…
If I take this, I will be favored by the King!
Thank you for your consideration!”
Receiving good gifts in return is a diplomat’s ability.
Giparang and the princess were very happy.
“Please tell the King of Hwan to thank you.
I hope that the friendship between the two countries will last forever.
Until the day the true Queen of Amity returns to her throne, I hope she will continue to cooperate.”
“Demon Lord Bernstein will be full of blessings!”
It creaked at first, but it had a warm ending.
“Have a drink!”
Soldier Choi Hoon and Seonggol Kiparang served as interpreters and shared a cup with Amitie and the Minister of Munmu of the Demon King’s Army.
Gulp, gulp, gulp!
“Adolf, he runs too much again.”
“That Hwarang friends are also talkers, leave it alone.
Look excited.”
I bring several boxes of alcohol and pour them out, but the half-blood giant Balak comes running shaking the ground and pours words together.
“Cuckoo, heck.”
Choi Hoon, the soldier who drinks together, is on the verge of fainting.
Don’t stop…
“Drink slowly, soldier.
Aren’t you old enough?”
Let’s come and talk
“I, who was born in 6 Dupum and barely reached the rank of soldier, will be in trouble if I stop drinking while drinking with the holy bones… Whoops, whoops!”
“Get some water here.”
“Go, thank you… “
The banquet is getting longer, and the people are coming out on the streets and drinking.
A cold winter day, a time when there is not much to do during farming season.
Now that the navy of the Blue Sea is coming up the river, and strangers and different races are filling the castle, every street is full of vitality unlike winter.
Maybe it’s because the atmosphere is ripe, or maybe it’s because I drank too much.
Adolf made a bold proposal.
“To make the blue dragon fall with an arrow.
Is my very eye-opening ah?!
You seem to be shooting some bows, shall we play together?”
Giparang didn’t even think about it and accepted it right away.
“Good.”
Gulp, gulp!
A game in which a bird is released, a drink is served, and then an arrow is shot.
Wedge liquid! Fuck!
“It’s a hit!”
Like a kangaroo, his face hasn’t changed at all, but he’s quite drunk.
Still, there is no movement in the arm when pulling the bowstring.
Aaaaa!
Clap clap clap clap!
“” “Adolf! Adolph! Adolph! Adolf!”””
The cheering of the generals and soldiers of the Demon King’s Army.
Me and Rumika cheer hard.
Wedge liquid! Right!
“It’s a hit!”
“” “Giparang! Giparang! Giparang! Giparang!”””
My friends with Hwarang aren’t easy either.
Birds flying in the sky have irregular flight paths, and they also move three-dimensionally.
In order to match it, very complicated work is required, including the calculation of external variables such as the speed and path prediction of an arrow far superior to the flight speed of a bird, and wind.
But without the slightest hesitation, he fired and hit.
Wedge liquid! Fuck!
Wedge! Tuck!
Aaaaa!
“A hit, a hit!”
“Neither of you are formidable, Your Majesty.”
I’ve already fired 18 shots, but the superiority and inferiority are not overshadowed.
Then Giparang made another suggestion.
“How about riding a horse and shooting?”
He said while holding up a composite bow made with buffalo horns.
Then, Adolf is embarrassed.
“I↗ don’t usually shoot while riding a horse↗↗↘…
A longbow and a longbow are the best bows for riding and shooting.”
In the first place, the kangaroos don’t even have to ride horses.
It’s faster to just run.
“Then I will shoot while riding, the general shoots while running.”
“Then.”
Gulp, gulp! Wedge! Puck!
I’m going to have a good time! Wedge liquid! Awesome!
Drink a bowl and shoot, drink and shoot and shoot again.
Aaaaa!
I shoot as many as 30 shots, but neither misses.
Aren’t your hands hurting?
I don’t think that bow tension is a joke.
The confrontation ended somewhere else.
“Uweeeee
Haha!
Aren’t you good at drinking?!!!”
The confrontation ended when Giparang got drunk while riding a horse, vomited and collapsed.
To use the same cup as Adolf to build up one’s pride.
I’m not stupid.
Its strong body and liver, unique to the Beast Race, possess tremendous ability to detoxify alcohol.
He drank a bowl for every arrow shot, so he had already emptied several poisons.
“Ugh, isn’t the general drunk?”
“I nod~
This much is enough for your mouth!”
Adolf smiles and goes for more drinks.
I won with alcohol rather than a bow, but somehow it seems to make me feel better.
“Aren’t you going for another drink↗?!
Come on, let’s get rid of the hangover with alcohol!”
Adolf was excited to have Kiparang as his shoulder companion.
“What a waste…”
“I would have won without the alcohol…”
“Right?
If we do it right, there’s no way we’ll lose in archery?”
Hwarangs lamented here and there.
Then Rumika giggled and teased her Minjung princess.
“Hwanguk is said to be the best in the world in archery, but this seems to fall short of the invincible demon king.”
Minjeong, the princess of Hwan, tried to smile, but she couldn’t stop the narrowing of her forehead.
At that, the blind swordsman, who was quietly drinking tea at the table below him, opened his mouth again.
“Then, how about a martial arts showdown?”
“?”
Rumika looked back with curious eyes.
Giparang, who was supposed to stop him, was busy drinking again with Adolf, and Choi Hoon, a soldier who had been summoned, was also absent for a while.
Stella, who accidentally ended up interpreting, looked back in embarrassment.
Rumika giggled.
“That is so much fun!
How can you resist exchanging technology with people from the end of the world?”
“Thank you for your permission.”
Aaaaa!!!!
“This time, they say it’s a martial arts showdown!”
“Ohhhhh!
Is it the demon army, a symbol of strength, or the warriors of the empire across the sea!”
“Blood boils?!”
“It must be fun just thinking about it!”
“It’s a big match!”
“It’s a sight to see!”
The eyes of the military officers and generals who were drinking were sparkling.
Also the Demon King.
There is no one who hates fighting.
Whether it be martial arts, magic, or archery.
Pair, pair.
Rumika called her handmaid by clapping her hands.
“Summon General Balak.”
“Your Majesty, General Balak was drinking and was away to hunt mammoths to offer to Your Majesty with the Giants.”
“Then what about General Adolf?”
“You are so drunk right now that you can’t even control your body…”
“Let go…
Don’t let go of this… ?
I’m embarrassed~
Hiccup, hey, kangaroo kiboksiing~ The strongest child… Hiccup!”
This.
“I can’t help it.
Jim has to come on his own~”
“No, Your Majesty.”
Rumika, who tried to get up as if she couldn’t win, she immediately sat down.
“Why is that, General?!”
“The fact that you are sitting at a banquet without taking care of yourself properly is something I put up with a lot as a state secretary.”
“The Demon King does not refuse the challenge that comes!”
“So the average life expectancy is short.
Let’s live with some refusal.”
“What are you going to do with this ripe atmosphere now?!”
What?
Are you going to use the atmosphere as an excuse?
“Then I, the general, will step in.”
“Arthur~
The Grand General is a hypnotist, not a fighter.”
Rumika giggled and shook her hand.
Heh
It’s my turn to show off my coolness.
“Because the general is the strongest, excluding the demon king, the general…”
“””The General must not step forward.””
“Stellar.
Don’t you believe me?”
“You are a hypnotist…
Even though bare-handed combat is not my major…”
“Angie?”
“Your lord has a position now… Keep your body tight.”
“There, right now, a nobleman named Poongwolju is warming up himself.
The general should step in.
Hey~
I also beat Adolf a while ago~
Don’t you believe me?”
“…”
“Angie… ?”
“…”
“Why, why are you averting your eyes… ?
Zach, Angie, what’s wrong with your face?
… Are you Zach?”
“Um, I’m in a hurry to the bathroom… Haha.”
“Is it Zach? It’s Zach!
And! Subordinates are real!
Ludwig!
Do you trust me right?”
“General.
I have some urgent business…
Oh sure I believe it, haha.
Do you really need to fight with bare hands…”
“Brother.
No one is leaning on you, so please sit still.”
“Are you hurt?!
Don’t even look at me with those eyes!
Then who’s next?
Don’t say you’re leaving!”
Then Rumika absentmindedly turned behind her and looked at the always-waiting figure with a sullen face behind her to her right.
“Sir Lan.”
