Chapter 224 – The Process of Evolution (11)
That buck that buck
I put on shoes like leather sandals and walk down the long hallway.
Antique gold borders and patterns are engraved on the walls on both sides of the white marble pillars.
That buck–
On the floor where you step on, a red carpet is spread endlessly, giving you the feeling that you are walking in an absolutely antique place.
‘I didn’t know because I didn’t go outside, but… It looks like a royal hallway somewhere.’
After Bahamut put him in the crystal room through the magic circle in his bedroom, he was a Cheols who spent his time there receiving crystal absorption training and eating only the food Bahamut brought him.
I was able to realize that the place I am now in the corridor where I walked outside for the first time was inside a castle somewhere.
‘Well, since he introduces himself as the Demon Dragon Emperor and speaks like the King, there’s nothing strange about him even inside the palace.’
Again – again –
Cheols glanced at Bahamut, who was walking beside him with an excited expression somewhere, and thought to himself.
“Well.”
“..?”
“Have you got anything on my face?”
At that time, at the words of Bahamut who asked quietly.
“Ah. No. After coming out and looking at it like this, I thought that Bahamut-sama really is a queen.”
“Not a queen, but an empress.”
“Is it or isn’t it?”
“Ha ha. I asked if I was too hot, and I became too arrogant.”
Bahamut sighed as he spoke, but his gestures and expression showed no signs of being really angry or annoyed.
‘You’re too generous with me.’
It was just a hunch, but it crossed my mind that Bahamut was being too kind to Cheols and himself.
That buck
So stop walking.
“By any chance, Bahamut-sama, if I… Really, if I defeat the Demon King, what do you plan to do after that?”
I asked about Bahamut’s intentions.
“Yes..?”
Bahamut turned his head and opened his red eyes wide, then moved his lips with a bitter expression.
“I haven’t thought about anything in particular. I’ve never thought of anything other than his father’s revenge…”
“..I will do my best.”
Let’s make a puzzled expression on why Cheols said such a thing without knowing himself.
“Puhuh! Yes, work hard. By the way, I prepared dinner. Let’s go and eat before it gets cold. Just the two of us.”
With a bang-!
Turning his head, Bahamut moved ahead of Cheols.
“I’m sorry..”
His face was blushing and flushed red.
=======
Whoa…
Inside a dark cave somewhere.
Under the ceiling of tall stalactites…
Coo…
There are three black stone coffins.
Bubbling–
Gying–
“…”
And in front of the seven coffins, a girl with purple twintail hair who draws a magic circle with a serious expression and synthesizes reagents.
Rocking—!
Because of her breasts as large as her size, the way she uses telekinesis with her fingers is impressive.
Jiying— Jiying—
While the girl is so absorbed in ‘work’ of something.
Seruk.
Among the three coffins, gray eyes opened in the coffin with the word ‘iron’ engraved on it.
Kugu Palace—..!
He reached out and pushed the lid of the stone coffin open.
Koo–..!
The lid of the coffin falls and dust rises.
“Ugh..–!”
Someone lying in the coffin groans and grabs his face and raises his upper body.
‘My body.. Is heavy.. What is the cold magic power that circulates through my veins..?’
As soon as he opened his frowning eyes, Cheol Mu-han began to grasp his physical body through his senses.
Purung-..
“..Yes?”
The feeling of a useless piece of flesh that looked like an overturned bowl of rice that clung to his upper body and swayed needlessly.
“Ah.. Why is my voice..?”
He was touching his neck in a high-pitched voice that was as thin as a girl’s.
“Uhhhhh?!”
I open my eyes wide and scream at the texture of smooth and soft skin, not the texture of wrinkled and hard skin, and the absence of the presence of the uvula that should have sprouted on the neck.
Jerk- jerk-
“Before he died, he had a serious side, but after he died, he became a noisy girl. Iron old man?”
“Ah..”
Hearing the voice of a cute girl next to him, he slowly turned his head like a wooden doll…But.
“What the hell did you do to the body of this left!? Give it back!”
The flowing gray hair and the impression of a beautiful woman with a youthful side of her early 20s are expelled with her old-fashioned way of speaking and high, sharp voice.
“Hmm… Give it back? If I return it, I’ll die. Iron old man. No, iron lady now?”
“What..?”
The word ‘iron lady’ was also shocking, but Cheolmu-han hesitated at the story that if she returned it, she would die.
‘Wait a minute…’
[ Shuwook—! ]
At the last moment, the demon king, who broke all the skills, threw a blade of black energy that was similar to that of the sword and could never be avoided.
Pooh—!!
[Keuouk..!! ]
Even though I was proud to have reached the stage, I couldn’t avoid it and my heart was pierced.
‘The Demon King…!’
Among the 10 girls gathered there, he was the highest in regards to nothing, and it was obvious what would have happened to the other 10 girls if he hadn’t avoided it.
“What about the demon king?! What happened to the demon king? Huh?”
When Cheolmuhan asks, who is more curious about what the demon king, who has no one to stop than the shock of turning into a woman, would have done to mankind.
“Hayuu~ My master sacrificed himself for us 10 incompetent girls.”
“What..?”
“Master… Would you understand if I said that Cheols Kim sacrificed his body to become friends with the Demon King? Cheolmuhan.”
‘…Is that guy Cheols Kim?’
Cheolmuhan made a shocked expression.
The first meeting was a cheeky witch with no quirks, but as time passed, the witch… No, ‘Chuls Kim’ became a guy I liked quite a bit.
Most of the time, I called him ‘you’ out of respect, and occasionally called him ‘guy’ to show his own affinity.
“Ah..No. How? Cheols.. That guy probably didn’t have the skills to defeat the demon lord.”
“It’s like comparing strength to strength. Kim Chul-s used his own tool, the power of ‘teleportation’, to put the demon king into the most terrible space that exists in the world. In return, he himself was like that hell. Are you trapped in a dimension?”
“…10 is what 10.”
Girl .. According to Nero’s explanation, since Iron Wuhan is the best swordsman, he is the strongest 10 girl of mankind, so he felt ashamed of himself for being proud of himself.
‘After all, heroes are separate…’
When you lower your head and try to look at the ground with a bitter expression.
Purung-…
“…”
Emotions cool down evenly at the nipple that blocks the view and hides the feet.
Thump-!
“So!! What the hell is this figure?!”
Cheolmuhan, a female figure who jumped up from the coffin, was too far away to grab Nero by the collar with a clear voice, so he turned around and grabbed one twin tail.
“Ah- it hurts. Ah- it hurts! Elderly!”
“Today’s trend of being a woman is to be done only by you and my pupil! Why are you giving me back! Bring it back!”
As she became a woman, her emotional fluctuations also increased. Ji-cheol infinite closed her eyes tightly and shouted at Nero.
“If you return it, old man iron… Will the old man die?”
“What..? Am I dying?”
Shuuk-!
Nero escaped from the infinite touch with the blinking technique.
Flutter– Tak.
He landed lightly on his heels and opened his mouth.
“The demon lord destroyed his heart and he was already dead. After that, the wreckage of the building slashed the corpses of our 10 girls!”
“…!”
“Because it’s completely made of porridge, I extracted only the soul and mana and put it into a new body. Why? Isn’t it nice to turn green?”
“Conflict!!!”
Kugu Palace–!!
Today, a thin and tall ‘gal’ rang through the cave.
=======
A rectangular table stretched out under a glowing chandelier.
To both ends where all kinds of delicacies are filling the table.
“Come on, eat it. It’s the food I made myself.”
“Bahamut-sama made it himself?”
“Yes! Magic summoned!”
The appearance of Bahamut who proudly speaks while snorting.
‘I didn’t make that myself..!’
Cheols couldn’t bear to speak outwardly and lowered his eyes to the table to eat.
Growl– growl–
My stomach was fluctuating, probably because I had consumed a lot of energy during the metamorphosis.
“Well?”
‘No tableware..?”
However, when you are questioning the appearance of a knife or fork that is nowhere to be seen.
“Eat comfortably. You don’t need to save face.”
I realize that this is Bahamut’s small consideration by the voice that follows.
“I will enjoy this food..”
Wriggle–!
That’s how you transform your fingers into tentacles and start consuming food more efficiently than eating with your mouth.
“Whoop-“
Seeing Cheols eating like that, Bahamut looked at him happily, like a mother watching her child eat well.
It’s kind of weird, but it’s a warm meal time…
Blazing–!!
They are disturbed by a sudden burning noise.
“..Hmm?”
Bahamut immediately hardened his expression and looked at the place where the black flames were rising right next to him.
“…”
“…”
There were five dragons standing there.
Iron-
The dragons in the form of dragon heads and full body armor on the back had dragon wings and tails growing out of their backs.
“…Empress.”
A sharp-looking handsome man with horned black hair and a medieval aristocratic coat at the front looks at Bahamut and calls her Empress.
“What’s going on, Calcasus. I don’t remember calling you separately?”
Bahamut asks the man in a chilly tone, the exact opposite of how he used to deal with Cheols.
It was because he was offended when his subordinates interrupted the good times.
“Words have been heard that Baal, the Great General of Wrath, and Lilith, the Queen of Inma, have left the Devil Castle and headed to the human world. Now that the Devil is gone…! It’s a chance to conquer the Devil Castle!”
Spreading his arms, the handsome, dark horse dragon Calcasus proposed to Bahamut to invade the Demon King Castle.
‘What? Four Heavenly Kings Baal and Lilith head to the human world?’
Cheols grabs him with his tentacles and spits out the steak again with a serious expression.
“Did you enter the Crystal Palace without her permission just for that reason?”
“That’s why?! Just taking over the Demon King’s castle will give you an advantage in the battle with the Demon King…!”
“I’m sure no one would have said it. The demon king alone is more terrifying than the demon king’s army! What’s the point in occupying the demon king’s castle when the demon king alone can deal with all of our demon dragons?”
“…!”
Calcasus gritted his teeth and showed an expression of disapproval at Bahamut’s words.
With a bang-!
He looked up and found Cheols sitting at the end of the table.
“Her..!”
And Calcasus clicks his tongue after confirming the identity of Cheols with the green dragon’s eyes.
“Empress… By any chance… Is the countermeasure to deal with that demon lord talking about that tentacle beast?!”
Knowing that Bahamut was cultivating a secret weapon to deal with the demon lord through rumors already spreading among the dragons, Calcasus seemed furious at the fact that the person presumed to be the secret weapon was a cockroach with tentacles.
Kugu Palace–..!!
“Keugh..!!”
Dump..!
However, Calcasus knelt down on one knee at the momentum of Dragon Fear rising from Bahamut.
“Don’t tease me carelessly.”
In Bahamut’s gaze looking down through the hatched red eyes.
‘Ignoring that lowly Witchbeast…! The Empress gave me those eyes..!!’
Calcasus was a dragon knight who assisted Bahamut ever since he was a princess.
As the former Great Demon King, Barbatos, had mentioned Calcasus as one of Bahamut’s fiancé candidates, it could not be said that Calcasus had no selfishness towards Bahamut in his heart.
“Sorry.”
“Okay. I’ll forgive the rudeness this time.”
Shuuu-
As Bahamut’s peer disappeared, Calcasus slowly rose to his stance.
“But I want to confirm one thing.”
“I want to check..?”
“Yes! I wonder if that tentacle monster really has the skills to defeat the demon lord..!!”
Damn–!
Calcasus, who had summoned a black crystal spear in one hand before he knew it.
Wedge liquid–!!
‘What..!?’
He threw his spear straight at Cheols.
‘Uh..!!’
Surprised, Cheols focused his whole mind on the spear-
‘What…Why is it so slow?’
When I saw Calcasus’ expression, it seemed like he threw it with all his might, but the speed of the flying spear was slow as if he had run a simulation.
‘The ancestor of the Eunga… It’s slower than the spear of the Eunga dragon or its older brother, the black assassin’s sword skills..!’
When you feel that way.
Pudeudeuk–!!
Bahamut’s deformed hand, covered in white scales and with long nails.
Whack–!
Pachang–!!
I broke the window at once.
“Calcassus! You bastard!!!”
Pajijik–!!
“Kwaaaaak!!”
As it is, it shoots white thunderbolts from the dragon’s claws and neutralizes Calcasus.
Dump-..!
“Hook.. Hook..!”
As soon as he woke up, Carcassus sat down again spewing smoke all over his body.
“Huh.. Please, wake up! You can never defeat the Demon King with tentacles like that!”
It wasn’t just jealousy.
Advice on the objective fact that a cockroach-like tentacle can’t defeat that far-out strong demon lord.
“I can’t do it. I’ll send you back to the arms of the Dragon God today.”
When Bahamut was about to unleash the dragon magic once again at Calcasus with a strong life force.
Swoop-
“Bahamut!”
“…?”
Cheols stood up and called Bahamut.
“I think that friend has a point.”
“..What?”
“So, to test your skills, can I have a sparring with that friend?”
“…?”
In response to Cheols’ answer, not only Bahamut but also Calcasus looked at him with a bewildered expression.
