– Volume 4, Episode 24
Episode 97
There were many demons occupying the Demon King’s Castle, both outside and inside.
It is said that the number is higher than usual due to the periodically held parties.
In the first place, other than this time, nobles, including Duke Jonas, could not come and go here as they pleased.
Instead, as it was a party where all kinds of people gathered, security was tight.
Yu entered the banquet hall of the Demon King Castle.
Jun pricked up his ears.
The sound of two nobles talking a few steps away was heard.
“There are unusually many people today.”
“Blood dealer… … No, it was said that the godfathers of the demon world give special gifts to the demon king. Since it is a place for that purpose, there are bound to be many people who come to see it.”
“All these demons gathered together just to see the gift of a few items? “What do those black marketers say?”
“Then why are you here?”
“Because I never miss a party. “There is also a fairly large martial arts club.”
“Oh, well, it looks like there will be a martial arts festival at this party as well.”
Martial arts club.
It was a martial arts competition held whenever a banquet of a certain size or larger was held.
A battle of power between demons.
It was a content that could be enjoyed both from a viewing perspective and from a fighting perspective.
Yujun made a meaningful expression.
‘I knew in the game that there was a martial arts club in the demon world… …
I have never participated directly.
However, I heard about the reputation of the martial arts club.
It was said that if you were ranked in this martial arts club, you would receive a huge reward.
It was almost impossible to rank among the powerful in the demon world.
But with great force there was no better opportunity than this.
‘The martial arts club was also part of the plan Jonas was talking about.’
Nobles were also able to participate in martial arts competitions.
However, this was only possible for those who had not participated in a martial arts competition within the last five times.
Because of such conditions, it was impossible for one person to continuously obtain martial arts rewards.
“Are you doing as planned?”
Yujun spoke to Jonas in a low voice.
“I already participated three months ago, so it doesn’t work. “The only people who can participate in this martial arts event are you, your party, and one marquis.”
“A lot of participation doesn’t always mean it’s good, right?”
“Because if you’re not careful, you could lose your life. “If your skills are vague, I think it’s better to just watch.”
“huh.”
In fact, it is said that a very large number of demons die in martial arts circles.
There are a lot of demons with very tough personalities.
In addition, the Demon King Castle, which hosted the competition, did not properly restrain it.
“The martial arts competition starts right away?”
“Eight hours after the party started. In the evening, a martial arts festival is held. “Let me help you apply for participation.”
“thank you.”
The process is not difficult, but if the duke makes the application on your behalf, it will be resolved quickly.
“Anyway, there are so many demons.”
A place where more than ten thousand demons gathered.
Nevertheless, it was difficult to feel that it was narrow.
The banquet hall was spacious beyond imagination.
Most department stores on Earth can’t even compare.
Although it was a place where demons gathered, it was not particularly noisy.
Surprisingly, many people were quiet, and the atmosphere of the banquet was slightly subdued.
Most of those who came to the banquet were nobles or powerful people from the demon world.
Duke Jonas began to wander around and interact with other demons.
“What are we doing in the meantime?”
Yoo Jun, Do Ji-yoon, Paranette, and even Manuela, who came in hiding her identity.
The four of them had nothing to do.
Not only is it useless to continue fighting in the demon world, but it is also useless to build friendships with someone.
“I’ll walk around alone and figure out the situation.”
Manuela said.
She was a witch, so she was the person to be most careful of here in the Demon King’s Castle.
However, I wasn’t too worried because his abilities were outstanding.
“Yeah, it might be better for you to go alone.”
It was possible to contact her at any time through the communication line.
Since we have formed a party, we can even know whether he is alive or dead.
“Oh, don’t rob the warehouse. “Go quietly.”
“Oh, no! “It was just a mistake back then!”
Manuela shouted.
Yujun turned his head with a smile on his face.
“What about Jiyoon?”

“I will follow you. I’m not good at burning alone… …
Paranet had nothing to say.
Yujun walked around the banquet hall, picking up food and eating it.
Just because it was from the Demon World did not mean that the food was weird or tasteless.
Surprisingly, proper food was prepared just like on the continent.
‘Is it really okay here?’
In particular, the seafood dishes tasted amazing.
I wonder where in the demon world there is an ocean so that there are seafood dishes like this.
I was curious, so I asked Do Ji-yoon.
“Is there an ocean in the Demon World?”
“no. “As far as I know, there isn’t one.”
“Then where do these food ingredients come from?”
“well.”
Do Ji-yoon didn’t know anything either.
Yujun scratched his head.
‘Well, I guess I got it from somewhere.’
Although he felt full, he continued to eat.
The same was true for other demons.
I was busy eating the food at the banquet hall in buffet style.
‘Are there any demons who come to eat this?’
It was then.
“But it’s fascinating.”
” What?”
“Even though we are undead, we are eating food. You can even taste it and feel full. Even though it is a world where magic and supernatural abilities are prevalent, do you think this is possible?”
Do Ji-yoon said. Yujun opened his eyes wide.
‘When I think about it, I was in an undead state.’
Only in the game was it possible for undead to receive buff effects by eating food items.
This is reality, not a game.
It didn’t make sense in common sense.
“Because it’s an event item. “I wonder if the system worked in some way.”
“Is that so? “For some reason, I feel a bit uncomfortable.”
Then Paranette opened her mouth.
“master. “I can’t taste the food?”
“huh? “Did you eat it too?”
“no. Even when I put food in my mouth, it just comes out between the bones.”
“Try it sometime.”
Paranette took a piece of steak with her fork and put it in her mouth.
Tuk!
Just as he said, the food fell to the floor through a gaping hole.
“It is strange behavior for the undead to eat food. “Because you can’t taste it.”
Paranet said proudly.
“That’s why I’m saying that if I were to consume any more food, I think I might arouse suspicion.”
Yujun nodded.
The demons had been looking at me with strange eyes since before.
‘If you think about it, the fact that you can use event items is ridiculous.’
I decided not to think about anything bothersome.
Because I can’t afford to waste time.
Crack!
Yujun suddenly started moving towards the end of the banquet hall.
“There are people following you.”
He muttered.
Paranet, who was nearby, heard.
“You’re following me?”
“Speak quietly. “Because we don’t want people to find out what we noticed.”
“yes.”
Do Ji-yoon followed along, managing his facial expression.
Yujun walked faster.
The speed of those chasing behind naturally also increased.
‘They’re following us as expected.’
There were a lot of demons, but it felt clear.
In that case, you either ostracize them or you suppress them… … .
Although the banquet hall is spacious, it is a limited space.
It wasn’t easy to beat them.
There was only one way left.
Yujun turned around and used rapid forward movement.
Physical stats as you become a Lich Lord
Although he was a bit behind, he was by no means slow.
Speed like a flash of light.
In the blink of an eye, Yujun reached in front of the pursuer and swung his sword.
Because I adjusted the force appropriately and struck with my sword, I was able to stun all three without killing them.
The three demons chasing him fell down.
Yujun used ancient magic to cast a space distortion spell on them.
In fact, the space is not distorted, but the perception of those who see this place is
It was degrading.
This was enough.
Because of his excellent ability to control magical power, no one realized that Yujun had used magic.
Moreover, because it happened so quickly, it seemed like no demons had just witnessed the scene.
‘Anyway, there are too many demons here.’
You need to get information about why they were chasing you.
However, he did not have the ability to extract information from the other party.
If there was one thing, it would be to torture them directly, but in this case, there was a high chance of being noticed by other demons.
‘But you can’t create a barrier.’
There was a very strong barrier in the Demon King’s castle, and no barrier could be installed without the Demon King’s permission.
Yujun took out the communication tool and called Manuela.
Manuela immediately ran to where Yujun was.
She has a small body and waddles around.
The sight of him running was a bit comical.
“what’s the matter?”
“Look here.”
Yujun pointed with his finger at the three fainted demons.
Since she was in a party with Manuela, she would see them too.
“Hmm, demon?”
“They were following behind us.”
“Accident… … “Isn’t it?”
“huh. Are you sure.”
“okay. “Did you call me because I needed to be interrogated?”
“The ability you used last time. “That seemed useful.”
“right?”
“Please.”
“okay. This is a technique that can only be used on opponents who have been suppressed to some extent. But the situation is just right… …
Manuela radiated magical power from her hands.
The task of extracting information from the other person’s head was completed in an instant.
‘She’s definitely not an ordinary witch.’
Yujun was impressed.
The ability to interfere with the mind in this way usually has significant side effects and various conditions before it can be activated.
In Manuela’s case, there seemed to be no such thing.
There must be something he doesn’t know, but it’s not much of an inconvenience… … .
‘I was really fearless.’
When conquering Manuela’s dungeon
It was far below her power level.
At that time, I had no idea Manuela would be like this.
If I had known, I would not have proceeded with the dungeon raid so recklessly.
‘Well, it worked out well in the end.’
I decided to think positively.
“What happened?”
“I figured it all out. however… …
Manuela spoke with a complicated expression on her face.
“why?”
“I think we’re in big trouble.”
“So why?”
“You know, Duke Jonas. “The plan he was talking about was all exposed.”
“You mean the devil knows everything?”
“I think so. Even the devil is waiting for Duke Jonas to make his move in earnest. “I set a trap.”
“How did you know?”
“There is a traitor. Among the demons who decided to participate in Duke Jonas’ work
to.”
“Among all those demons, there is likely to be a traitor or two.”
“no. There are a lot more traitors. Those who came in for the purpose of spying in the first place are also over ten. If you include those people, I think there are about 70 traitors. No, what these three demons know may not be everything, so there may be more… …
“But it’s a little strange.”
” what?”
“Someone as high as Duke Jonas wouldn’t have a spy in his camp.
Did you decide? Duke Jonas is not in a position where he is not subject to the Demon King’s checks.”
“… … “I see.”
“Then maybe they are making separate plans.”
Do Ji-yoon, who was listening to Yu-jun’s words from behind, got loud.
She opened her mouth.
“then… … “Are you saying Jonas doesn’t completely trust us?”
“no. You never believed us in the first place. In addition to appearing unexpectedly, Manuela is chased by the devil.
Just existing is not enough to be trusted.”
Yujun chuckled.
“It looks like they’re planning to use it as a way to throw us away.”
