Chapter 244 – Chapter 61. The Third.
The death of an S-class hero.
It was different in weight from the death of a common hero. Even though the golden lion Kammersh did a lot of crazy things, there was no room for objection to his skills. The death of such a person meant that this case was not usually serious.
The news of Kammersh’s death spread throughout the capital, and soon the summoning order for S-class warriors fell. Jihyeok, who happened to be in Ganesha’s palace, went straight to the Hall of Fame with her.
Even in the Hall of Fame, the atmosphere was cold as if the news of Kammersh’s death had been conveyed. … No, even if he didn’t know that, there wouldn’t be a great man who would dare to make noise when he sees Ganesha walking towards him with a terrifying expression.
“Fuck, what the hell is this…”
When Ganesha saw the situation on the continent getting more and more heinous, she said, “Is she dignified?”, But her curse, which she had promised not to do, came out spontaneously. Clearly, the continent was quite peaceful until a few years ago, but after the appearance of the Demon King, it felt like a place that was no different from the Demon Realm.
She even felt worried that this might really be a harbinger of the end times.
Jihyeok was also serious. The death of Kammersh, the golden lion, and no one else, was obviously an unexpected accident.
… It must have been the work of those bastards of the Demon Church. Fucking cubs…
Jihyeok was so sure. It must also have something to do with Puratremos, the third demon king who will soon descend. Otherwise, there’s no way the mighty golden lion would have died.
The two men and women soon arrived at the meeting room. Not long after the convocation order was issued, the meeting room was still empty. She immediately went to the head table and was ready to preside over the meeting.
After a while, the S-class warriors began to gather one by one.
4th, Dreamer, Castus.
6th place, Bjorn Healer, Byorgon.
7th place, Bald Flash, Enel.
9th, Ghost Archer, Oro.
All of them were the kind of guys whose eyes went by themselves when they passed by on the street. If you use good words, you have a characteristic, and if you use bad words, you are crazy.
A total of six people, including Ganesha and Jihyeok, who had arrived and were waiting, gathered in the small meeting room.
Ganesha slammed her table with the palm of her hand, scanning her fucking face invariably. Eyes gathered and the princess opened her mouth.
“Kammush is behind.”
Hee hee, there was a sound of wind blowing. The owner of that sound is the ghost archer, Oro—-. It looks like it will fly away even if the wind blows because it is skinny.
“So I’m in 8th place now?”
Seeing the guy showing off his yellow teeth and smiling brightly, Björgon spoke a heavy word.
“Oh… , Does this look like a joke now?”
“Oh, why do you take it so seriously? The atmosphere was so rigid that I just joked about it. Sea Pearl, it’s not fun.”
The ghost archer still didn’t erase his smile and looked at Jihyeok and nodded his chin.
“Then you’re in ninth place now too. It’s nice not to fight. Huh. Seapearl, you almost got into a fucking fight with our close comrades, didn’t you?”
“Oh.”
“Ah, okay, I got it. You mean to keep your mouth shut? Okay, hehe.”
Oro stopped playing just before he burst into anger. Kanesha looked at that idiot cub for a while and looked at her for a while and continued her words again.
“Some of you may have overheard it on the way, but it was the Devil’s Church that killed Kammersh.”
“Are you in a trap?”
“Maybe. There are two survivors. One is coming soon I’ll have to hear from him for details.”
At that time, the bear beast, the dreamer Castus, carefully opened his mouth.
“Isn’t it often the case that you die while on a mission? Do we need to take this seriously with it?”
Bald Flash Enel also agreed with Gomtaengi’s words.
“Clearly Kammersh, that bastard must have been caught off guard.”
Then Jihyeok stepped out.
“Even if it is, we need to figure out exactly what’s going on. It’s not the other guy, the S-class is dead. If we ignore it, the Demon Church will treat our warriors with more contempt.”
“You want us to clean up his shit?”
When Enel asked, Ganesha clenched her fist and smacked her table. She did not like this sound of individualism.
“We are a group. If you think so, hit Hero, you bastard.”
The bald flash shut his mouth and slipped away from his gaze. No matter how much he could see nothing, he did not dare to confront Princess Ganesha.
Soon, a survivor from the Kammersh team arrived in the conference room. Due to his large size, he had lost his left eye and arm. Looking at it, he could indirectly feel how fierce the battle was.
“Go over there and sit down.”
Ganesha gave her a nod to her witness to sit in her chair opposite her. He walked uncomfortably and sat down in a chair. The dread of that day was still visible on his large face.
“What happened? Tell me everything without missing anything.”
Everyone focused their eyes on the survivors. He gulped down his saliva and began to tell me about the secret mission his team had been undertaking.
It was a mission in a middle city located in the northeast. To get information that the Demon Church was secretly planning something, and to figure out the truth, they secretly infiltrated the city, hiding their identities.
And there, they confirmed that there was some kind of transaction between the Baron and the Devil Church, and also obtained the result of finding the secret base of the Devil Church. … But that was just the beginning of the misfortune.
The Kammersh team came up with a plan to wipe out the Demon Church and put it into action. However, all of that was their trap, and they struggled against the surprise of the enemy.
Still, the S-class warrior’s inaction was so great that he could have escaped the crisis if he did well, but the buff magician died due to their concentrated attack, so he was caught up in a powerful curse and eventually all but two were wiped out. … In the end, the cause of defeat was that the buff magician died and could not block the curse.
“I couldn’t really deal with the enemies. Demons and curses were too powerful. I can’t… , I just couldn’t win.”
“So… , Ran away?”
“… Yes…”
He lowered his head and wept tears like chicken droppings.
“I’m scared… , Had no choice but to run… I have sinned to death. I have committed a mortal sin…”
“Raise your head. It’s not over yet.”
He lifted up his face, which was messed up with his tears and runny nose.
“What the hell were these guys up to? You may have found out something, though.”
“There was an altar.”
“… Altar?”
At the word altar, Ganesha’s eyes grew thin.
“There were a great number of sacrifices and altars. It was clear that he intended to summon something.”
Upon hearing that, a certain word passed through the heads of the six warriors.
Demon King-.
Of course, it could be Kiwoo, but strangely, I strongly thought that it might be the Demon King. There has already been a precedent in which two Demon Kings have descended, so what can’t be said about the third?
Only then did the ghost archer Orodo realize the seriousness of the situation, and the smile disappeared from his expression.
“I get it. She did a good job Just go.”
“… Yes Mama…”
He got up and limped out of the meeting room again. There was a heavy silence in the room for a while.
Breaking that heavy silence, Björgon, a body healer, spoke first to her.
“Mama, maybe this…”
Everyone understood the abbreviation at once. The princess sighed and wiped her face with the palm of her hand.
“Cybaal…”
After a moment of silence, this time Jihyeok opened his mouth.
“It seems that one o’clock is in a hurry. If our predictions are correct, we should move a little more quickly to reduce the damage.”
“It is, but…”
Ganesha murmured. Then, the body healer raised her hand. His eyes were shining terribly.
“I will go first.”
They weren’t really real brothers, but the deceased Kammersh was a younger brother who was very close to him as an older brother. Byorgon was burning with vengeance against her brother.
Of course, even if he was burning with vengeance, Björgon was not a person who would mess things up with personal feelings. So she allowed the princess to do so. … In fact, she was hoping that someone would step in first.
“I’m going to go and investigate. But don’t be too hasty. Please wait quietly until the support team goes. You know what I mean?”
“Yes, Mama.”
So, once the meeting was over. It was decided that the Björgon team would start secretly first, and then the support team would depart a month later.
Ganesha was troubled again. If they really want to summon the demon lord, it’s right to bring an army. Having already fought the demon king twice, she knew very well that her few team of warriors would not be able to defeat them.
“What do you think?”
The princess wanted to hear Jihyeok’s opinion. Jihyuk answered without hesitation.
“I think it’s definitely the Demon King. You will have to go fully prepared.”
“Maybe not.”
“Then I’m glad. … However, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with overdoing it this time. I wasn’t ready, but if the devil appears… , The damage will be out of control.”
Ha ha
Ganesha let out a long sigh. Fucking devil king bastard! Furious, she banged her fist on her wall.
In the past, she would have wondered if such a thing would happen, but having already fought the demon king twice, she couldn’t help but keep that possibility in mind. … And her intuition is screaming so too.
“Kammush is dead. It wouldn’t have been possible if the devil wasn’t the devil’s aide.”
No matter how careless and the team’s buff magician suddenly died, an S-class was an S-class. The devil must have been a very powerful being if it was powerful enough to kill him.
“Good… Summon the warriors.”
The princess made that decision.
“This is the third war with the demon king army.”
Soon, the emperor’s order to summon a punitive force fell to the capital.
Warriors and soldiers from the surrounding cities flocked like bees.
