◈ 232. [Evil Side] Loyal Dog (2)
The wolf king, Lunared, was brutally crushed.
I couldn’t even reach the tip of my toes, let alone the nape of the demon king’s neck.
The werewolf struggled in its own way in front of the intangible darkness emitted by the demon king, but eventually knelt down.
“Even in my lifetime… … Even after being resurrected here… … I have faced all kinds of strong people.”
With her limbs torn apart and her entire body drenched in blood, Lunared, crushed to the ground, muttered through her broken fangs.
“You really… … The ark of strength is different. Cool! shit… … .》
《You are the type who cannot understand unless you experience it physically, Lunared.》
The demon king smiled as he looked down at the werewolf, looking unscathed.
From the face covered in black shadows, the corners of his mouth, which looked like white blanks, rose up.
“So it’s annoying every time, but you’re the only one big enough to attack me. I don’t hate you.”
《… … .》
“Please forgive me. It’s my nightmare.”
When the Demon King stretched out his hand and put it on the werewolf, Lunared’s entire body, which had been horribly crushed, was restored.
Broken bones were attached and severed muscles were connected.
As if the traces of the fierce battle were a lie, Lunared’s whole body was completely healed.
When Lunared tried to stand up, the demon king grinned and snapped his fingertips.
“But, should I receive the ‘punishment’ that was originally planned?”
right!
immediately after,
Puhak-!
Strong vomiting of blood poured from Lunared’s nose and mouth.
The half-raised werewolf’s huge body collapsed to the floor.
Kneeling on the floor, Lunared groaned and grabbed his left chest.
《Heuk… … ?! what did you… … .》
“A werewolf has two hearts. There is one wolf and one human.”
The Demon King shook his hand lightly.
“I broke one of them. I’m not sure which one.”
《… … !》
“Do whatever you want to do with me, Lunared. But breaking the rules I set is unforgivable.”
The demon king erased the smile from his lips and lowered his voice.
“I am playing the ‘game’ according to the ‘rules’. Don’t be distracted by my pleasure, wolf.”
With blood clots in her mouth, Lunared glared at the demon king with glaring eyes.
“candle? Did I hit the candle? I just worked hard for the victory of our corps!”
《… … .》
“I don’t have the hobby of watching the battle while playing chess leisurely like you!”
That’s why, despite the king’s ban, he forced his men to go with Jormungand.
Even though he failed, Lunared didn’t think his actions were wrong enough to be punished.
Lunared roared with a bloody voice.
“why! Why are you looking after them, King! If all the nightmares you revived marched at once, the royalties would perish in one fell swoop!”
“haha.”
Then the demon king snorted.
《Luna Red. my loyal dog Why did you ask?”
The demon king lowered his body made of shadows and sat down in front of the fallen werewolf.
《… … Of course, because it’s fun.”
whispered like a snake
《In the meantime, this world has been destroyed hundreds or thousands of times. But I couldn’t get what I really wanted.”
Unable to understand the words, Lunared’s eyes widened.
How many hundreds or thousands of times have you destroyed this world?
What do you mean? So what is the world like now?
“No matter how enjoyable something is, if you repeat it countless times, you will get bored. That’s why I introduced the rules and started a game with my opponent.”
The demon king’s hand came up to Lunared’s head and gently stroked the blood-soaked silver-red mane.
like treating a dog. It was a humiliating touch.
《In order to add a little bit of fun to killing this boring and boring world.》
Faced with Lunared’s face, who said he didn’t know why, the Demon King sneered.
《From the beginning, I have never hoped for understanding from ‘peace’ like you. You just have to move as I command.”
《… … .》
《Come on, prepare to go out, Lunared. I’ll leave this ‘great flood’ up to you.”
At the Demon King’s words, Lunared grabbed his left chest and stood up.
Blood regurgitated from his heart, which was left with fragments and debris, continued to flow down his nose and mouth, but he struggled not to show his pain.
“Isn’t this an invasion you’ve been longing for? Try destroying the public tax once.”
《… … .》
After catching her breath, Lunared asked.
“If I succeed, my king. Please grant me one wish.”
《What is your wish?》
《Your nape.》
Baring his fangs, the werewolf growled.
《… … Please let me bite you just once.”

《Yunheo.》
The Demon King replied immediately.
“I’ll bite you no matter how many times you want, so try your best.”
《… … .》
《Please show me a fun game.》
Lunared thought.
He said he would definitely end the royalties with his own hands.
That’s why he said he would destroy the arrogant demon king’s ‘pleasure’ with his own hands.
A demon king like a shimmering shadow… … Glaring at the unknown demon who revived him here. The werewolf made that promise.

“Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam.”
I yawned profusely.
It wasn’t until after another day’s sleep that the heroic characters, including me, who had almost fainted, regained their senses.
After lunch, everyone went back to their respective accommodations.
Because I can’t have them stay in the mansion’s guest room forever.
However, most of them have managed to recover, and even now, there was one person who was in pain.
“Kelly Bay~”
It was an old dwarf who was lying face down on the bed in the guest room, holding her waist in pain.
I smirked as I entered the room calling the name of the Dwarf Blacksmith.
“How are you today?”
“Grasp! Don’t talk to me, Shivral. It’s like crossing the Jordan River half way… … .”
“It’s tough… … .”
It seems that Kelly Bay sprained her back while flying around on Jormungandr’s back.
Shouldn’t an older person have been overdoing it and stopped him when he evolved into a Flying Dwarf?
Anyway, for this reason, he could not return to the base camp of the Lake Kingdom, and he is recuperating while receiving extreme treatment from the priests.
“At this point, let’s move our lives here. I’ll set up the workshop nicely and provide you with plenty of materials and funds. Let’s just commute to the Lake Kingdom. how is it?”
“I’ve refused several times, but I’m asking again… … ?”
“When the body is weak, the mind is also weak. At this time or when will there be a chance to recruit your father-in-law?”
“You’re so honest, you’re like a damn kid… … .”
Kelly Bay, who was laughing, sank with a short scream as if her back hurt right after. It looks like you’re properly injured.
“It would be nice if you could help me recuperate for a while. If you go back to the dungeon like this, you won’t be able to do anything, so it’s better to get better and go back.”
Kelly Bay said with an embarrassed face. I was delighted.
“Ah, recuperation is good! Rest well for a few months at this mansion before you go!”
“I’m going to get some rest, but this mansion isn’t it. Go-Ryo.”
“No, is this mansion the most comfortable place to live in this city?”
Of course, the guest room where Kelly Bay stays is a room that has been remodeled according to Evangeline’s taste. Although it is a bright room with a bling bling pink-yellow-frill-lace combo.
It’s rare to find a guest room as comfortable as this one in Crossroads.
“I mean, I’m running out of firepower!”
Kelly Bay, who is picky about guests, was furious.
“Even when a dwarf sleeps, there must be a bellows and a brazier nearby!”
“Something like an old man taking a hot bath in midsummer… … .”
Summer is over, but it’s still pretty hot. Still wanting to be by the fire?
“Would you like some more wood for the fireplace?”
“Don’t just fire a snot like these kids play!”
Kelly Bay then made her request clear.
“Let me live in this city forge! Go to the place where you use the biggest fire!”
***
So, next to the largest furnace in the Cross Road Blacksmith, Kelly Bay delivered a bed.
When I asked for the biggest brazier, the head of the blacksmith union was shocked at first and tried to refuse it, but when I heard that the brazier was being used by an elder dwarf blacksmith, she almost fell to the floor and begged me to bring it.
“An elder dwarf blacksmith! If you can be taught over your shoulder, no! It’s great if you can just watch the hammering! I will leave the largest furnace and workshop empty!”
In this way, Kelly Bay became the most suitable place in the fairly large Cross Road Blacksmith.
With her back to the brazier, which had been heated to the fullest, Kelly Bay had a satisfied expression on her face.
“Oh, it’s hot. It seems to be getting better.”
Kelly Bay, who had been basking in the heat, turned to me with a rather bright face.
“And I’d also like to find a useful assistant.”
“There are skillful blacksmiths everywhere in this forge.”
I pointed around.
The human blacksmiths watching the elder dwarf blacksmiths were staring at them from all directions.
“These guys can’t. You are too skilled in human ways.”
But Kelly Bay was relentless.
“It’s not that the human way is bad, but the way dwarves and humans handle metal is fundamentally different. They may be able to learn how to apply each other, but as assistants, they have different habits, so they will only clash with me.”
“Then what you say now… … Please find an assistant who is smart but has no blacksmith knowledge. What do you mean?”
“yes! One strong, honest fellow who will follow my orders without saying anything.”
I nodded in agreement and stepped out of the smithy. I chinned to Lucas who was waiting.
“Let’s go to the mercenary guild.”
I was thinking of picking up some new mercenaries because I heard about it, but it went well. Among them, let’s find the one that fits the conditions mentioned by Kelly Bay.
Right before leaving the smithy, he hinted indirectly to the head of the blacksmith union, whose face was flushed.
“You’ll be here for a few weeks to a few months, so know-how is very abundant! eat it out I like people so I can’t say no, so ask me anything you’re curious about.”
“Of course, lord!”
“Because they’ll be happy if you serve them politely and serve them with a little alcohol. Take care of yourself and try to do well.”
After patting the head of the union, I left the smithy.
Inside the blacksmith’s last seen, all the human blacksmiths were rushing to offer a massage to Kellibey, who was lying face down.
It’s an explosion of popularity, grandpa… … .
***
Mercenary Guild.
In the meantime, quite a number of new mercenaries had entered.
I accepted the profile, interviewed each one, and hired them immediately on the spot.
My basic principle is to hire everyone, so unless there are quite a few flaws, I accept them as subordinates.
‘I can’t see SSR or SR.’
Most of them are regular soldiers, and almost all of the hero characters are R or N ranks.
However, it is unknown which of them will carry the game later.
About a hundred new recruits are transferred to the Crossroads like a shopping cart, and new hires are coming to an end.
“… … ?”
There were two mercenaries that stood out.
One was the highest SR level hero among the mercenaries I met here today.
He is a man in his 40s and 50s with dark brown hair like wakame seaweed that emits purple, an SR-grade color, from his back.
It is an impression that somehow looks sad in the melancholy eyes.
“You said you were from the North?”
When asked while looking through the profile, the SR rank warrior ‘Camus’ nodded heavily.
“That’s right.”
“He was originally a soldier.”
“They are the remnants of a kingdom that was destroyed long ago… … Aren’t mercenaries’ pasts roughly similar?”
what is it Because about half of them are knights and defeated soldiers of the fallen kingdom.
Anyway Camus I’ve seen this guy a few times in games too.
If used well as a compliant SR-ranked warrior character, it will become a great vanguard.
There is no reason to reject the SR rating. I immediately hired Camus.
“I wish you well in the future.”
“I really appreciate you, Your Highness.”
Camus smiled grimly. I just wish the impression was a little brighter.
And the second mercenary that caught my eye was emitting a gray color from his back. It means N-class.
is a little boy
She was short in stature, with bright brown hair that covered her eyes. I am only fifteen years old.
My name is Hannibal.
The two eyes that could suddenly be seen through the shaggy hair that covered them were straight and unwavering.
Of all the mercenaries I saw today, it was the first one whose gaze was so unshakable.
“I came after hearing rumors about the southern front.”
“rumor?”
“I heard that they pay well and treat mercenaries like soldiers.”
Hannibal spat out in a childish voice that hadn’t gone through his voice yet.
“Please write me. You won’t regret it.”
“Sorry, but you are too young to be sent to the front.”
On the southern front, soldiers from the age of 16 or older are sent to the front.
For me, who considers 16 to be very young, I can’t send this 15-year-old to battle.
“Then let me do chores. I’ll do anything. And when my next birthday comes, I will be on the front lines.”
Hannibal skillfully received the words as if he had prepared them. Hey, it looks like you came with a purpose.
I somehow liked it.
It reminds me of Dion who died a long time ago.
“… … All right, Hannibal.”
So, I decided to try hiring this kid.
“Then would you like to be an elder dwarf assistant?”
