Episode 261. contact (4)
I was anxious and afraid.
I had no idea that the fear I gained from encountering an unknown alien being would be so deep.
Additionally, I was at a loss as to how to overcome this current situation.
As a result, I naturally forgot about it.
In this imperial tour,
The fact that there was a very special attendant.
“What has that guy been doing all this time to show up now?”
Reassurance and comfort.
Except for Set, who was grinning, everyone looked at Xian’s indifferent back in unison.
“Ma, are you trying to fight back? “With that unknown demon?”
“Everyone on the tour, don’t let your guard down! “It’s still too early to feel safe!”
Arin accelerated the tour and instructed to continue to monitor the situation.
Even though I couldn’t see the face because it was from behind,
His dependable and strong back was alleviating the anxiety of the tour group.
* * *
The tour group crossed the border gate, passed the rear camp, and reached the camp.
I followed the tour group all the way.
I watched quietly from one side as they came out of my father’s barracks, encountered the Demon King, and made strange demands to Lunab.
There are two reasons.
One was to confirm that the demon was really the demon king I knew.
The body’s memories are much more stimulating and clear than the mind’s memories.
No matter how much time passes and how much life goes against me, the memories and sensations I gained through my bloody battle with the Demon King still remain in my body.
However, the atmosphere was quite different from when I saw it near Blood River 10 years ago.
At that time, I wondered if that Demon King was really the Demon King I knew.
Now it seems like all the evil in this world has gathered together,
An existence of negativity whose very existence is not understood.
It was very similar to the Demon King I originally knew.
“That rambunctious little boy has grown up a lot in 10 years.”
The Demon King also recognized me and was the first to express his joy.
“You’ve changed a bit.”
“okay? Surely you can’t deny it? “I’m not in a very good mood right now.”
The Demon King twitched his lips as if he was trying hard to maintain a smile.
“Honestly. I was hesitating a lot just a little while ago. At first glance, it seemed like the area beyond that wall was human territory. You did that to me 10 years ago, right? Something’s going on so please don’t come into your territory… … .”
“So you were keeping that promise?”
“Isn’t it obvious? I am a man who always keeps what I say. “He doesn’t say anything twice.”
This was the second reason I wanted to check.
Does the Demon King really remember his promise and deal with me?
This was very important.
Depending on that, it will be decided how I should treat that demon lord.
In fact, he thought for a while after reaching this border gate.
In other words, there was conflict.
So I showed up.
So that the devil can keep his end of the bargain.
“Now, as the Demon King, I kept my promise to you. So now it’s your turn.”
The moment the word devil came out of his mouth, a stir began to arise beyond the border gate.
“Devil? “That demon is a demon lord?”
“Oh, this is ridiculous? “Why on earth did the Demon King appear on the front lines?”
“Do you have anything to do with Sian Wert?”
Of course, now is not the time to focus on things like that.
The Demon King walked slowly to shorten the distance between him and me.
“Guard it. Your promise to help me… … .”
With my own mouth, I set an unprecedented condition that I would do anything in return for him not falling to the human world.
In other words, I am now in a situation where I have to do anything for him.
Regardless of whether it is possible or not.
The Demon King suddenly crossed his arms and smiled mischievously.
“Well, you might be curious. The reason why I, who was fine in the demon world, came here… … .”
I responded with silence.
“I’m looking for a guy named Eshel Bert.”
“… … !”
“We need to find that person named Eshel Bert and bring him to my castle right now. “That’s why I came this far.”
Since I could never ignore this, I immediately raised my eyes and asked back.
“Why are you looking for that man?”
“You f*cked me so good!”
The Demon King gritted his teeth and at the same time blinked his eyes, expressing his anger towards him.
“Oh, now that I think about it, it seems like I have quite a bad relationship with you too? You said that about me? “You are a negative being that should not exist in this world.”
Geez.
How dare you go beyond this human world and reach into the demon world?

I let out a laugh and at the same time lowered my head.
There really seems to be no end to his ugliness.
“I wasn’t going to care about what happened in your land because it wasn’t my territory anyway, right? But he crossed a line. “I touched something that should never have been touched!”
What should you not touch?
The moment I heard those words, a familiar memory from the past came to mind.
This is similar.
The past situations I experienced in my past life… … .
“I’m sorry for interrupting the conversation.”
In the midst of a heated conversation, Lunav crossed the border gate again and came to my side.
“Do you know anything about this pendant?”
She immediately took out something she was carrying under her jacket and showed it to us.
“… … !”
When the Demon King saw this, his expression changed noticeably.
What she took out was none other than a pendant.
Of course, it was no ordinary pendant.
At least in my eyes.
“Where did you get that?”
“I picked this up by chance in the camp barracks, before we met you. “The reason I told you not to touch it was because of the power contained within this pendant.”
“strength?”
“yes. This pendant contains a series of powers that confuse the target’s mind. Perhaps the person who wears this pendant will continue to crave it without realizing it. As if deceived… … .”
At her explanation, the Demon King remained silent for a moment.
“Anything else?”
“… … !”
“Are there no other powers?”
The Demon King opened his mouth again and asked about the pendant’s other powers.
“I’ll have to do more research to find out exactly, but I think it also has the power of absorption to suck up vital energy. In other words, if you continue to wear this pendant… … .”
Lunav did not continue speaking immediately but hesitated slightly.
“I’m going to die. The wearer is.”
As soon as I said I was going to die, I immediately turned my gaze to see the Demon King’s reaction.
To others, it may seem like you are just standing still without any particular reaction,
It was clearly visible to my eyes.
“die?”
That the Demon King is trembling right now.
It was not a tremor caused by fear or fear.
It was a very intense tremor mixed with all kinds of negative emotions, including anger and murderous intent.
“I guess there’s no need to say more.”
The Demon King finally made up his mind and stopped trembling and opened his mouth again.
“If you don’t want me to cross into your territory, bring that guy named Eshel in front of me right now.”
The voice was much more excited than before.
“If you’re going to tell me to wait, stop it! I’m having a lot of patience right now! If I take these two steps now, I don’t know what will happen! Do you understand what I’m saying?”
I clearly understood.
If we don’t get Eshel now,
It probably means that he will cross that border gate himself and find it.
Here I had a hunch.
If that really happens,
That disaster will fall on this land again.
So, is it true that what that devil wanted was the power of the Demon King?
Inducing confusion by provoking the Demon King to cross over to the human world?
He did something very wrong that no one could handle.
I dare say that if I were to just leave this position and let whatever happens to me,
I will become a bystander who ignores the deaths of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions of people.
Why does that happen?
Because there is only me.
A human who can stop the existence called the devil.
As I slowly uncrossed my arms, I naturally held Keiram in my right hand.
After all, is there no choice but to stop it?
In the end, that man and I were destined to collide regardless of whether our lives would change… … .
“if… .”
In the midst of this confusion, Lunav raised his hand and stepped forward again.
“I’m just asking, just in case. Has anyone around you ever worn something similar to this pendant?”
She asked, looking at the Demon King with bold eyes without blinking.
“that’s right! That’s what our nagging butler said! It seems that the power contained in this pendant is similar to the power wielded by humans called witches! They probably know how to solve it, so I told you to bring them or the person who gave you the pendant! So hurry… !”
“Then take me with you.”
“… … !”
At the unexpected answer, not only the Demon King but also I looked at her with surprised eyes.
“What are you doing?”
“Isn’t this a situation where we have no choice?”
Lunav answered calmly as if asking what was the problem.
The Demon King asked right back.
“Do you know how to undo this pendant?”
“I can’t give you a definite answer yet. I also need to take the time to analyze it accurately. But I’m sure it will help you.”
I immediately grabbed both of her shoulders.
“There are things you should do, and there are things you should not do. “This is not your business.”
“Do you think this is baseless nonsense? “You should know better that I’m not that kind of person.”
know.
I know it very well.
That’s why it’s a problem.
“I think it would be a good idea to put out the fire first. “If the reason you came here is to find someone who can remove the pendant, then it doesn’t matter if it’s me, right?”
The Demon King appeared deeply troubled by her bold proposal.
“Excuse me for a moment.”
Meanwhile, another human came to my side outside the border gate.
It was Princess Arin.
“My name is Arin Sebellus, the 5th princess of the Usif Empire, and the representative of this frontline tour. “May I ask your name as you have volunteered to be the Demon King?”
“… … ?”
Instead of answering, the Demon King glared at the princess with a look full of displeasure.
In this situation, are you going to negotiate representative-to-representative?
Please understand the situation… .
“It’s Belkarion.”
Contrary to my expectations, the Demon King revealed his name easily.
“Before I start talking, I would like to tell you that we are in the same situation. “The Eshel Wert you are looking for is a serious criminal in our empire and a man wanted all over the continent.”
“A serious criminal?”
“yes. I don’t know what you heard from him, but it’s all lies. That man has caused great chaos by taunting our imperial family and empire, and now, relying on the leader of this front, he is plotting an incredible plan that we cannot dare to predict. “The plan probably involves you, Belkarion.”
Without the slightest hesitation, the princess clearly summarized the intentions of the tour group and conveyed them to the Demon King.
“So what do you want to say?”
“Would you like to cooperate with us?”
Not only the Demon King, but I too couldn’t believe our ears.
“What are we going to do?”
“It’s about putting our heads together for a common goal. “Now that the work of the Human World has happened to extend to the Demon World, we also want to take responsibility and help you, the Demon King.”
The sound of her swallowing dry saliva rang clearly in my ears.
“Would you like to join us? “Demon King Belcarion?”
The Demon King had a moment to think about it.
“Should I call you the princess, or rather the princess? “Isn’t that polite?”
He soon smiled faintly and answered the suggestion.
“Looking at you, you seem to have quite a position in that area, so you probably know something about it.”
“What do you mean?”
“How heavy it is to be responsible for the words you say… … .”
While Arin was slightly confused, the Demon King pointed his finger at Lunav again.
“I’ll take those two with me. I am indeed. “I never thought we would come this far and cooperate with humans.”
The Demon King wanted me and Lunav to be taken in return for cooperation.
He turned his head awkwardly, then looked back at me and said.
“Of course, I know he lied.”
“… … ?”
“What is the existence of negativity…?” … .”
It took a moment to interpret what those words meant.
