Helmut
Episode 485
‘this.’
I wanted to fight against guys of a reasonable level first, but already with guys like this?
Elaga was nervous. I felt like there were eyes observing me. The pressure of feeling like a huge being is standing tall and looking down on you, who are the size of a bean.
The opponent is the devil. This dominant demon energy that cannot exist in one living creature. It felt like the space was being crushed.
In the world of Elaga, he was a destructive and fierce demon king. Will the Demon King really tolerate Elaga’s existence in the Demon World?
However, the Demon King looked at Elaga for a moment and then disappeared. As if he would tolerate Elaga’s existence.
As if the wildfire in front of my eyes had been extinguished, my field of vision was completely blank. Elaga was both relieved and dissatisfied.
‘what? bland. ‘Don’t even attack me.’
However, when we say demon king, it means the source itself in this demon world. In other words, God.
Elaga, who was in the realm of creation, was not a being worth dealing with.
Only after the Demon King’s presence had completely disappeared did little Helmut, or rather Mutt, who had been hiding in Elaga’s fur, poke out his head.
[Huh, did you go?]
Naturally, Elaga was displeased with him because he was hiding to live alone.
Unlike Helmut, there seemed to be no loyalty to the guy who was born into darkness.
[Helmut was not a coward like you. What you are doing is disgusting.]
[I am not Helmut! It is definitely a separate entity from him!]
Elaga responded harshly.
[Yes, Helmut dregs. A parasite that fell off. It’s exactly like that.]
[this person! This big cat!]
[If I am a cat, are you parasites on me fleas?]
[When the time comes and you grow up, you will become independent!]
[Yes, yes. You weak guy. Let’s leave quickly, because we don’t know when the demon lord may change his mind and come back.]
[this person!]
Mute trembled and closed his mouth.
Elaga discovered a use for Mute that seemed non-existent other than as a scooper. This guy was fun to tease. Just like Helmut.
‘I can feel all the nostalgia in this place.’
It hasn’t been long since I came to the Demon World, but memories are already starting to come to mind.
But now was not the time to look back. He has only just taken his first steps into the demon world. The present and the future were here.
It was only after leaving that place that Elaga finally met monsters with intelligence.
Just as meeting the Demon King was a formality marking the beginning of one’s time in the Demon World.
[You, a being from another world.]
The thing that appeared with the shaking of the ground was curling around the clouds.
The one with flashing blue scales resembled a lizard or a snake.
Four small legs and an elongated body. And a somewhat solemn-looking face with a thick, curly beard. It was not a creature Elaga had ever seen before.
But what was clear was that it was strong. The demonic energy felt in the guy’s body was unusual. Just like the Forest of Pahe, a demonic force that is no less powerful than the ruler of the realm.
[What are you? lizard?]
[I am a being called a dragon.]
[dragon? Okay, let’s go. Let’s fight for a bit first.]
[what?]
[Goes!]
Elaga, who was feeling a little sore, fought back with all her might. After a little struggle, Elaga was able to bite off the back of the guy’s neck with ease.
[What are you doing! sick!]
[Tell me you lost, and I’ll let you go.]
[lost.]
[So from now on you will be my subordinate?]
[okay.]
It was a suspiciously quick surrender. The reaction was withering. Even when fighting, there was something awkward about it. Instead of being ready for battle, they just gave an opportunity.
‘These guys don’t even fight?’
Amid doubts, Elaga decided to check for herself.
[Okay, then from now on, guide me to the others. Prove that I am the strongest in this demon world!]
[Yes, I understand.]
The dragon had an expression that told him to do whatever he wanted. She was so obedient that she did not even ask Elaga the reason for her actions.
Elaga followed the dragon’s guidance and met other monsters. Perhaps even in this world, powerful monsters know about each other.
Those with powerful magical energy that surpassed that of the forest rulers of Pahe all showed curiosity toward Elaga, and Elaga beat them down without hesitation.
It was something that was unfair to the other party. When I say hello, they declare that they will fight and attack me.
A preemptive strike always worked to the advantage. Especially for those who doubt whether they have ever experienced a proper battle.
There were dozens of them with magical energy on the level of Ygrel or Baharek, but they had a gentle personality and were quick to give up.
There was no one with personality, whether it was pride or grit.
‘It’s full of guys like Kantra.’
It was so easy. So, let alone feeling good, I had no sense of accomplishment.
Since they lost anyway, they faithfully followed the monster’s law of submission.
Elega was displeased with the losers chasing after her, but Mute was proud of it as if he had done it.
[If this continues, we will be able to conquer the demon world in no time!]
The sight of him shouting with great excitement, stretching his arms straight to the sky, was strangely awkward.
Now he’s smaller, but he looks almost like Helmut. The proud Helmutran.

Elaga narrowed her eyes.
[Why us? I am the one who conquers.]
[I am with you now, so your achievements are my achievements.]
[What nonsense. You bastard, when are you going to leave? Aren’t you trying to borrow my power by sticking around forever?]
Isn’t there a saying that a fox pretends to be a tiger?
Mute crossed his arms.
[Actually, I know you like me.]
[Someone likes you!]
[Because I originate from your Helmut.]
Elaga’s mouth fell shut. Okay, so this guy’s existence was tolerated in the first place.
[I am learning a lot from you as I grow. This knowledge of the demon world. That will definitely help you.]
[What is he saying now.]
[Just wait and see.]
Mute opened his eyes wide and looked at Elaga.
Elaga snorted and moved her head. It was fortunate that it wasn’t a burden.
However, since it is like a part of the body, there will be no danger.
Not long after that, Elaga stood tall as the reigning king of the demon world.
The demon king doesn’t seem to have any intention of playing the ranking game, so he is number one.
All monsters with demonic nature bowed their heads to him.
Elaga was the only vicious guy in this demon world where everyone was gentle, and he was also strong.
There was no one in the demon world who possessed more powerful magical energy than him, who had absorbed all of the magical energy of the Forest of Pahe. He might be there, but he didn’t show up.
[From now on, call me captain!]
Elaga, who declared after taking the title of humans, soon felt bored.
‘I’m bored after doing all I have to do.’
It would be nice to have a challenger. Or a bad-tempered guy like Naho or Baharek.
However, the monsters here are so gentle that even bothering them makes you feel guilty.
When I tell him to call me “captain,” I call him “captain.” When I tell him to be a rug, he lies down quietly at my feet.
Elaga, who was riding on the monsters’ soft fur, suddenly muttered.
[It’s boring.]
[If you’re bored, why not try setting a new goal?]
Mute, who was perched on the bridge of Elaga’s nose, suggested.
The guy was holding a skewered sword. He was even imitating Helmut’s swordsmanship moves these days. It means that he has grown that much.
Elaga blurted out.
[Can’t we go back?]
A new goal immediately occurred to me. It must be the wind deep in my heart.
[Are you going back?]
The dragon beneath Elaga’s feet smiled brightly.
All the monsters in the demon world were desperately hoping that this foul-tempered cat would return to where it came from. Mute questioned.
[Why do you want to go back? Look at this glossy maggi. This is the best home for monsters.]
[There are people who are curious about what they do for a living.]
Elaga quietly closed her eyes. After he left, the entrance to the demon world was closed, and the aftermath seemed to have had a big impact, so I don’t know if the remaining people will be safe.
Because they had all but exhausted their strength from the previous battle.
[You mean Helmut and his group?]
[Because I want to at least make sure that he is alive and safe. At best, it would be difficult if I died after making such a sacrifice.]
[Area was very pretty.]
Mute clenched his chin and nodded. It was awkward for him to look exactly like Helmut and talk as if he were talking to someone else.
[Did you like that kid too?]
[Because I was one with Helmut. Feeling his emotions clearly. I know Helmut better than anyone else in the world.]
[I don’t think you want to go back. Regardless of whether you know it well, you are not really interested in Helmut.]
Mute shyly brought the tips of his index fingers together with an uncharacteristically sad expression on his face.
[That’s because Helmut might hate me. He has been through hardships ever since he was born because of me.]
[I know. But if I knew him, he wouldn’t particularly hate you. So don’t make that Helmut face. Because I’m trying to get over it.]
[is it? Yes, how many years have we been together?]
Mute, who was bright-faced, soon became solemn and spoke.
[Anyway, it is possible. Going back.]
[How do you know?]
[Your achievement of becoming the ruler of the demon world made me grow together. As I absorbed demonic energy and grew more and more, demonic energy passed on a lot of knowledge to me. This is what I learned through that knowledge.]
Elaga looked suspicious.
[But why don’t I know anything?]
[I am a being close to a mental body made up of strength and will. That’s why I know more than you. I can look into the very depths of the knowledge given by demonic nature.]
[So what is the method?]
Mute, who paused for a moment, answered.
[If there is a gap between the other world and this world, you can use that gap. It’s not possible here.]
[How do I create a gap?]
[If a strong wave of magical energy occurs, a gap may appear.]
[The fact that something can happen means that it might not happen, right?]
[That’s right. But you are a being from another world. As soon as an opportunity arises, you will naturally find out.]
[Wait a minute, if there is a gap, won’t the devil try to sneak over again? I went through that mess again?]
[If it’s a small gap, it’ll be okay. Because the passage you crossed was very huge. On the other hand, if the gap is too small, you won’t be able to go back.]
[shit! Well, you have to rely on chance like this. Still, it’s better than no possibility at all.]
[It is a positive attitude. good night.]
[There are still a lot of monsters left in Pahe Forest, so I guess we should hope that they do something.]
Elaga decided to wait for that opportunity that might come someday. She just hoped it wasn’t too late.
Until then, the tyranny of Elaga, the new ruler of the demon world, will continue. That was an unfortunate situation for all monsters existing in the demon world.
