Episode 302 71. First (3)
I knew it.
To the extent that the situation that will arise around him in the future will be very different from that in the North.
The punitive force at that time was not seriously lacking, but the critical mistake they made was giving Kim Jong-hyun enough time. In addition, the response to the preparations that took sufficient time was insufficient.
‘But this time it’s different.’
Kim Jong-hyun was clearly aware of him.
A northern punitive force in which even magic tower lords participated in the magic corps. Although they were excellent wizards, they were not good at responding to black magic.
Although church paladins and priests participated, their numbers were not large. Murim people? They only had the talent to use their bodies and were not a dangerous element to Kim Jong-hyun from the beginning.
Circumstances and circumstances have changed. Thanks to the tragedy in the North, they will no longer let down their guard over Kim Jong-hyun. He has been subjected to black magic, so he must be thoroughly prepared for it.
The good news is that there is a long time left before the battle wizards of the magic tower and magic corps, the main power of the wizard guild, arrive here.
The south is not a place where the power of the Murim League or the Wizard’s Guild can reach much. Most of the south is dense jungle.
There are many tribes that live with their own cultures. Eormuri, a little away from here, is a city of monsters.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t any warriors or wizards, but you don’t have to worry about them forming a punitive force and attacking you for the time being.
The problem is other forces.
Priests and paladins of the church. In fact, they were people whose situation was not much different compared to Kim Jong-hyun.
Just as Kim Jong-hyun moved to Eria and the demon king who made a contract with him died and became an alien being. Most priests and paladins belonging to the church are beings who lost their connection with the gods they served when they were summoned to Eria.
In fact, the power they use is an unknown power that cannot even be called divine power.
Even so, the ‘holy power’ they talk about is like a natural enemy for a warlock. adult. Kim Jong-hyun fell into trouble while keeping him in mind.
‘Would it be better to continue moving north like this and call in troops? Or would it be better to settle down for a while and come up with a response plan?’
It was quite an enjoyable worry for Kim Jong-hyun.
I could have chosen somewhere else. In fact, no matter where you choose, it will be better than the south.
June Demon King. He is not a complete devil.
The divine power still acts irritating and unpleasant to him.
Rather than dealing with saints and the church’s main forces, who you don’t know who they are and how much power they may have, it is better to deal with martial people or wizards who you can at least understand and respond to.
I know that, but I didn’t do it.
It was a simple reason. He didn’t particularly want to become a demon lord, and he didn’t want to do anything with this world.
I just thought it was good. I just try it because I can.
‘No, would it be better to destroy it?’
I couldn’t even do that in the first place. Kim Jonghyun chuckled.
For him, the motivation for action is whether or not he can do it.
Can you do it? really? Should I try it? If I can do it, I don’t care about morality or humanity.
Of course, Kim Jong-hyun liked to create panic. Most of the things that worry about whether he can do it are in that direction.
“There are no survivors.”
There was no knocking. A strong bloody smell came from Bolander who opened the door and came in. Kim Jonghyun tilted the chair he was sitting on back and smiled at Volander.
This city. This is the castle where the lord of Germud lived. Just a day ago, this place was a social gathering place for nobles and prominent people, but now the only living person in this mansion was Kim Jong-hyun, a half-demon king.
“How many people died…?” … “No, did you kill him?”
Kim Jonghyun smiled and asked. There was a telltale bloody smell coming from Volander, but there was not a single drop of blood on his armor or sword.
Bolander did not respond to Kim Jong-hyun’s wry laughter. He suppressed the discomfort and hostility welling up deep in his chest.
“Do numbers have meaning?”
“It has meaning. “I need to figure out how much sacrifice there is to carry out the ritual.”
“… … I don’t know. “It must be in the tens of thousands.”
“It’s not enough.”
Jonghyun Kim said. He caressed the grimoire placed on the spacious desk with his hand.
“It took less than ten thousand lives to turn me around. It will take several times as many lives to turn the tables on you and hundreds of Death Knights. Strictly speaking, this is destroying the link with the Demon King that is binding your soul, and reconstructing the body that was taken away by the Demon King upon death.”
“… … “I guess I’ll have to go to the next city.”
“No, you don’t have to. “If you wait here, the offerings will come by themselves.”
“Are you saying you want to make this place your territory?”
“If we raise the dead bodies here as undead, we have enough troops.”
“But the sacrifice is not enough to turn us around. And in the south there is a saint of the church.”
“An adult is only one human being. “Do you think he can stop you or me?”
“No, I don’t think so. “I just think it would be more efficient to sacrifice the residents of nearby cities and villages before they take refuge, rather than just waiting for the punitive force to arrive.”
“It’s me who decides that.”
As Kim Jong-hyun spoke with a sad smile, Bolander did not state his argument any further.
Ever since this relationship was created, Kim Jong-hyun has been holding the sword.
Bolander wanted to kill Kim Jong-hyun, but if he did that, there would be no way to return to being human again.
They committed indiscriminate massacres that had not been done for hundreds of years. I can’t ruin everything now.
“I get it.”
Volander turned around. He left the room with the sound of clanking armor. Kim Jonghyun laughed as he looked at the door that wasn’t closed.
‘You seem very angry.’
The door was closed. Kim Jonghyun got up from his chair and stood in front of the window.
The sight of a city that was horribly ruined was visible. I see undead wandering around. Compared to Death Knights, they are of a much lower class, but they are good enough to be used as an army.
‘First, gather the magic of the land… … There must be a lot to prepare.’
There was plenty of magical power. The same was true with knowledge. Opening the door to the demon world from the sea helped Kim Jong-hyun gain a lot.
In particular, knowledge.
“It’s a breeding farm.”
Kim Jonghyun muttered while looking out the window.
If this is a huge breeding farm and we are the guinea pigs raised in this breeding farm.

What kind of needs am I as a guinea pig for those outside the kennel?
Honestly, it didn’t feel that good.
* * *
The carriage stopped.
Lee Seong-min, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, opened one eye and looked at Abel. Abel, who was reading the contents of Grees, opened her mouth.
“We ran into each other.”
“Aren’t you lucky?”
“I wouldn’t say it’s ideal. “I wanted them to die a little bit to Kim Jong-hyun.”
That way, I would have been able to take advantage of the opportunity. Abel added that and closed the book.
Lee Seong-min chuckled at those words.
It has been three days since I rode in a carriage alone with Abel. Although we didn’t talk much, I knew what kind of personality Abel had.
He was a completely different person from his older brother Envirus. It was unknown what the original intention was, but at least Abel was much more active than Envirus when it came to preventing the end.
Also, like I said just before. Abel was of the position that a certain amount of sacrifice had to be made if it was to prevent the final apocalypse.
It was the same for Lee Seong-min. Lee Seong-min also understood that it was impossible to prevent the end without anyone dying and without causing any problems or damage.
“Are you going to accompany me?”
“Let’s try making contact first.”
As Abel said that, he covered Gries. He put on the gray robe he had left behind and opened the carriage door.
A procession of carriages stopped not far away. It was a plain carriage without decoration, and all colors were white.
Abel put both hands in the sleeves of his robe and stared toward the carriage. Seongmin Lee wore a mask. It wasn’t a very nice mask in appearance, but I had to wear it.
Even though Osla had temporarily sealed it, its magical power had to be suppressed unless it was a battle situation.
As Abel and Seong-min Lee came out of the carriage, the procession of white carriages that had been stationary began to move. Seongmin Lee stared at the paladins guarding the carriage. It is a large army numbering in the hundreds.
Wearing pure white armor, they exuded the strong spirit of the Holy Knights that had been felt during the northern subjugation battle. One of them came this way on horseback.
“Where are we going?”
The man’s physique was large to match his deep voice. Four days have passed since the massacre of Germud.
Residents of the surrounding cities and villages have already fled their homes, fearing that Germud’s massacre will also be inflicted on them. Meanwhile, since the two of us were heading to Germud, it was natural for them to be suspicious.
“Germud.”
Abel answered first.
“I am Abel, the leader of the wizard guild. “How high and great of a person are you that you look down on me?”
As Abel asks with a grin, his eyes tremble greatly behind the face shield of his helmet. He was greatly embarrassed because he could not have imagined that the person he was facing was the wizard guild leader.
“I, no, we. I’m going to Germud. “Kim Jong-hyun is wreaking havoc there, so he’s on his way to kill.”
“Hmm… … .”
The paladin was taken aback by Abel’s harsh tone and cleared his throat. Abel saw a procession of carriages approaching behind the paladin who had come as a messenger.
“What about adults?”
“… … “Please refrain from speaking.”
“I am the wizard guild leader. He stands at the top among so many wizards that are rotting away in this world. He is a person who can control tens of thousands of wizards with just a single word. Are you telling me to refrain from talking to myself like that?”
“It’s the story of the Wizard’s Guild, and we… … .”
“stop.”
Abel raised his hand to interrupt the paladin.
“They say they have different affiliations, but they don’t even have the slightest respect for each other. I thought we could cooperate, but it seems not to be the case. “We will go our own way, so you can do your own thing.”
Abel quickly exhaled and then turned around. He gave a glance towards Lee Seong-min, who was standing blankly.
Seongmin Lee let Abel take control of the situation and did not dare to step forward. As Abel and Seongmin Lee were about to get back on the carriage, the Holy Knight hurriedly spoke.
“Now, wait a minute.”
“Something?”
“Cooperation… … “What does that mean?”
“You’re asking a stupid question. Aren’t you guys also going to catch that bastard Kim Jonghyun? He would have no choice but to do so. The Death Knight’s army joined forces with the Warlock to annihilate a city. By any chance, are you going all the way to Germud to honor the souls of the dead?”
“that… … But… … .”
“If that’s the case, it’s very different from what we want to do. no. In the first place, you are not in a position to talk to me on an equal footing as the head of the wizard guild. I can’t be offended. “We’ll be leaving.”
“Please stop.”
The messenger was speechless as Abel kept firing back at him. It was another paladin who stepped forward to replace him. As he stepped forward, the messenger quickly stepped behind him and bowed his head.
“My name is Theos and I am the leader of the Silver Knights. He apologizes for his indiscretion.”
“I’m glad you know it’s rude.”
“As you said, we are moving towards Germud to block and kill the forces of the warlock Kim Jong-hyun and the Death Knights who carried out the massacre in Germud.”
“What do you want to say?”
“If the wizard guild leader and companion have the same goal… … “How about you come with us?”
“Are you the tallest in this group?”
Theos was speechless at Abel’s question.
“I think you guys have less awareness of who I am. Do you know? The older the wizard, the more damnable his personality is. “Would he like to try it?”
“that… … Take away your anger… … .”
“anger? No, not anger. Because it was a damn hit. Would you like to experience it?”
Abel asked with a grin.
[He’s a guy with genius skills when it comes to making people look like shit.]
In Lee Seong-min’s mind, Heo Joo was impressed.
