Episode 205
“Ah… I really feel like I’m going to die…”
Park Hyun-ah said in a hoarse voice.
The treatment has been going on for several hours already.
No, I wonder if it is right to consider this as a treatment.
Park Hyun-ah was committing suicide.
And made myself a total mess.
When she was on the verge of death, Rachel healed her with potions.
“Did you think changing the bowl would be that easy? It’s something you have to risk your life for.” “I’m already doing it!” “That’s not enough.”
Sarah Dunphy shook her head and examined Park Hyun-ah’s body carefully.
He looked serious, patting himself here and there, then opened his mouth.
“It doesn’t seem to be ineffective, but I don’t know how long it will take if things continue like this.” “How long, roughly?” “A few months. Maybe even years.”
At the word “years,” Park Hyun-ah’s face hardened.
Now, this was no different from torture, let alone treatment.
They torture and treat their bodies until their lives are at stake.
And then, I repeat the cycle of abusing my body and treating it.
How many years do I have to go through this process that feels like death in just half a day?
“f*ck! I’d rather die! Just kill me now!” “Stop whining. If you want to change the vessel in a short period of time, you have to take on greater risks.” “How much more dangerous does it have to be than this!?” “Hmm, wouldn’t it be better to ask Choi Hyun-seok over there?”
Sarah Dunphy turned her gaze to Choi Hyun-seok.
His body was mysterious in many ways.
Not only does it have high mana conductivity, but the vessel is also extremely flexible.
Even though he could store mana that would have been at its limit if he were someone else, he didn’t feel any discomfort at all.
The circuit through which mana flows is also unusually strong.
In summary, it means that it is a subject of research in many ways.
“It may not have been his intention, but Choi Hyun-seok has clearly gone through a similar process many times.”
“you’re right.”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded with a smirk.
He said while looking at Park Hyun-ah.
“Sister. Ah, I really feel like I’m going to die… It can’t be that bad.” “Then what should I do?”
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok’s smile disappeared and a serious expression appeared.
“Oh, shit… I’m dead…”
“what?”
“I have to feel like I’m really dead. If I do that, then whatever happens, won’t it work out?”
The expression on Choi Hyun-seok’s face as he smiled brightly was incredibly annoying.
Park Hyun-ah jumped up and grabbed Choi Hyun-seok by the collar.
“Are you kidding me? Huh!?” “No! I told you so you asked me to tell you, so why are you acting like this!?”
“What the heck!? What the heck!?”
Choi Hyun-seok wasn’t the only one who was suffering.
He grabbed Park Hyun-ah by the collar.
“Yes! Damn it! I’m not the old me who just got beaten up anymore. This is it!” “This kid doesn’t even know the kindness of being raised by me!”
At that time, Park Hyun-ah and Choi Hyun-seok were fighting each other.
“Quiet!”
Sarah Dunphy screamed.
She looked around with a serious expression.
“Someone came looking for me.”
Choi Hyun-seok blinked and looked back.
“Didn’t you say that no one would be able to find us here?”
The group was in hiding in a place far from the Demon King’s castle.
Because Park Hyun-ah’s condition was not good, I didn’t know what would happen if I used teleportation magic.
So, I had no choice but to set up a hiding barrier and hide myself, but it seemed like someone had broken into the barrier.
“There’s no chance that they’re a demon that accidentally flowed in. They’re walking straight towards here.”
The group formed a formation with tense faces.
If you’ve seen Sarah Dunphy’s magic, you’re not an ordinary person.
Currently, Park Hyun-ah’s condition is not good, and Choi Hyun-seok is also not normal, so we cannot let our guard down.
“That’s…”
Finally, the intruder shows up.
Park Hyun-ah narrowed her eyes and frowned.
“Human… no, no, demon?”
The intruder was a demon with a similar physique to Park Hyun-ah and exuding strong magical energy.
If it weren’t for Magi, he would have been mistaken for a human due to his small stature and build.
“Who are you?”
Park Hyun-ah opened her eyes sharply.
The magic felt is at the level of a legion commander.
This level of magic is not only for the Demon King’s army, but also for the Demon Clan.
Even if you look through them all, there are only about ten people.
Of course, their personal information was all in Park Hyun-ah’s head.
“I’ve never heard of anyone like you.”
The demon that appeared at Park Hyun-ah’s words opened its mouth.

“I am Sidriel.”
“Sidriel?”
“She is the daughter of the Demon King Tegrad.”
***
The daughter of the Demon King Tegrad.
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes widened at the shocking story.
“It wasn’t a son, it was a daughter!?”
Choi Hyun-seok’s expression was one of shock, as if he had really not expected it.
At that moment, Park Hyun-ah hit Choi Hyun-seok’s forehead with her elbow.
“Keuk! Why are you hitting me!?” “Hey you crazy kid! Does it matter whether it’s a son or a daughter right now!?”
“Oh, right.”
What’s important is not the son or daughter, but that the demon is the child of the Demon King.
Park Hyun-ah turned her gaze and smiled at Cidreel.
“Yeah. Well then, that’s right.”
“…”
“The Demon King. There’s no way that evil author would turn a blind eye to it.”
The question that had been weighing on my heart for so long has finally been resolved.
Why did the Demon King fall so helplessly?
“It would be understandable if you had prepared such a card.”
Park Hyun-ah asked Cidriel.
“You. You received magic from the Demon King, right?” “Yes. My father has been sharing magic with me for decades.” “As expected… I thought Tegrad’s magic was too strong.”
As the level of magic or magical energy increases, it acquires its own unique characteristics.
Even if he was a child, it was impossible for him to resemble Tegrad’s magic so much unless he directly inherited it.
“That gentleman also has the spirit of a gambler. To gamble like this.”
The act of transferring magic or magical power does not occur very often.
Because the gain was extremely small compared to the risk.
First of all, the power of the person transferring is rapidly reduced.
However, the efficiency was extremely low.
There are also significant risks for the transferee.
In other words, the Demon King took a risky gamble, risking his daughter’s life while his power was weakening and his royal authority was in danger.
“Well, it looks like Tegrad won in the end since he’s still fine.”
The last moment.
Now I understand how he, with his detached expression, could die so peacefully.
He got everything he wanted.
“So. Why did you come here?”
Then why did this young demon come looking for the human who killed his father?
“Are you thinking of revenge?”
Sidriel shook her head at Park Hyun-ah’s question.
“I came to ask for a deal.”
“transaction?”
“You know that the Holy War is in full swing right now, right?” “Of course. We’re working so hard to stop it.”
The party’s goal is to prevent the success of the temple.
But since the Demon King was already dead, it was basically a failure.
“Now that my father is dead, if this continues, the Holy War will be a success, and then the Deusis Cult will no longer be able to be stopped.” “You know the way the continent moves better than I thought.” “I learned it from my father.”
Sidriel continued.
“It is no exaggeration to say that humans are currently under the Deusis doctrine. If the Holy War is successful, no matter how much the Dracaen Empire and other kingdoms join forces, they will not be able to stop the Deusis doctrine.”
“hmm…”
Park Hyun-ah nodded with a dark expression.
They say that we have to see how long it will last, but for now, it seems likely that things will go as the demon said.
What would happen if the Holy War succeeded and the war ended, when more than half of the continent was already devoted to the Deusis faith?
I don’t know for sure, but its power will become so great that even the gods of heaven will not be able to do anything about it.
“What does that have to do with the deal?” “Only I can stop the temple from succeeding.” “You can stop the temple?”
Sidriel nodded and pointed to Choi Hyun-seok.
“We are the only ones who know that the man over there is the one who killed our father.”
Choi Hyun-seok felt a pang in his heart for a moment, but there was no emotion in her eyes.
“I will declare my father’s death as a natural death and officially become the next Demon King. Then, the Holy War cannot succeed unless I die.” “Hoo… So the deal is, you help me become the Demon King?”
“Yes.”
Park Hyun-ah examined Cidriel’s expression with sharp eyes.
“Why are you asking us for help with that? You could just tell the Demon King’s Army.” “The Demon King’s Army is currently centered around the First Corps Commander, Dorritugs. He intends to become the next Demon King himself.”
For a moment, a hint of anger crossed Cidriel’s face.
“I haven’t become an adult yet. On the other hand, Dorritugs is strong. It will take at least ten years to defeat him.” “Until then, I will help you become the Demon King and protect you?”
“okay.”
“Hmm…”
After all the stories were over, an awkward silence fell.
Everyone seemed lost in their own thoughts.
“There’s one thing I need to point out.”
At that time, Choi Hyun-seok raised his hand.
“Anyway, you are a demon. Even though Gatren is our enemy, the demon was originally an enemy of humans.” “What are you trying to say?” “No matter how much the enemy of my enemy is my friend, I don’t want to leave behind a spark that could become a threat someday.”
Choi Hyun-seok’s point was accurate.
Is it right to join hands with the Demons just because Gatren is trying to start a war to conquer the continent?
If Gatren rules the continent, many will die, but at least humans will survive.
However, if the Demons take over the continent, the human species itself will be threatened.
Even if the current danger is great, is it right to help the demons who may destroy humanity in the future?
“I understand your concerns.”
Cidriel placed his hand on his chest.
“I promise. When everything is over, we will no longer fight against humans and live quietly on our land.”
“…”
“Even when everything ends, at least while I am the Demon King, I will not wage war against humans.”
“Just to that extent?”
Choi Hyun-seok didn’t feel like it at all.
First of all, let’s put aside whether we can trust the immediate promise.
In any case, it was said that in her next generation, there might be another war with humans.
“Don’t judge by human standards.”
“huh?”
“I am still young. I have inherited my father’s blood, so I will live another 800 years. Maybe even longer.”
“…”
“Anyway, you’ll have at least 800 years of peace. Isn’t that a bad deal?”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded without realizing it.
800 years.
It’s a very long time from a human perspective.
If we can keep peace with the Demons during that time, it’s not a bad deal.
‘Actually, the demons do help to some extent in preventing division among humans.’
Why are some countries, including the Dracaen Empire, currently trying so hard to leave the Demon Race behind?
It’s partly because of Gatren, but equally important is the peace that the Demons give.
It wasn’t a bad deal if we could just deal with the biggest threat, Gatren, and take advantage of the peace.
“What do you think?”
Choi Hyun-seok asked the group.
“I am not of this age. I don’t think it is right for me to express my opinion.”
Sarah Dunphy took a step back.
For the same reason, Liam also did not give his opinion.
Choi Hyun-seok turned his gaze to Rachel.
“Rachel… I don’t know…” “It’s okay. I didn’t expect anything from you.” “Are you done talking!?”
He picked up Rachel who was running towards him and threw her away.
Choi Hyun-seok looked at Park Hyun-ah, the last remaining member.
“What do you think, sister?”
“Not bad. If that demon’s words come true. We’re not in a position to be picky right now.” “I agree.”
Park Hyun-ah and Choi Hyun-seok nodded at the same time.
“Okay. I accept your offer.”
A slight smile appeared on Cidreel’s face at the word consent.
“Okay. I’ll tell you what to do from now on.”
“Sidriel continued, her voice slightly brighter than before.
“First of all, the 1st, 4th, and 5th Corps have already gathered around Dorritugs. We can’t do anything about it right now.”
“then?”
“What we have to do is to take command of the 2nd and 3rd Corps, which have vacant corps commanders.”
Sidriel raised his head and stared somewhere far away.
“It starts with the 3rd Army Corps. Subdue the division commanders under Hemis.”
