Demon King
Chapter 101 The Devil's Night [1]

Erkindra will distribute personnel to search for the fallen. All information obtained will be shared with Rebellion.

The Rebellion would cooperate with Erkindra on the condition of conquering the fallen to tame them for the Rebellion.

Both guilds would support humans, elves, and monsters.

After we dug deeper, we had a few more supplies, but the most important thing is this.

“As before, you will know the whereabouts of the fallen and move to save them. Avoid colliding with humans and elves as much as possible. We, like today, will tame the fallen. There is no harm, and you can achieve your guild goals more smoothly. ”

“... I don't know what you think. Do you want to save the fallen, or do you just want a great power? ”

“Rather than what I think, think about what can be achieved through this alliance.” He puffed his cheeks and thought for a moment, but finally nodded.

“Alright, I'm sure. But first, I have to ask our guild members if they have any complaints. ”

“If there is?”

I'll let them go. I was a little surprised by the unexpected answer, but he hardened his heart. I know he's determined.

“When internal opinion is split, it will only become more difficult later. The size of the guild could be reduced by a bit, but is that okay? ”

“Ya.”

“Then I will be back. Wait a minute.”

“Back anytime.” He stood up and looked at me.

“You..”.

“Hm?”

“No, it's okay.” I don't know if he knows every move he makes me uneasy. He turned around with a small smile. The Erkindra Guild, led by my sister, returns, leaving only the members of the Rebellion in the castle. I sighed, and Lee Chan-yu approached me.

“I think it went well. Why sigh? ”

“There is no problem with the alliance itself, just ..” I am sure it is a valuable alliance for both of us, but I can't stop thinking that I am forcing my sister to make irreversible choices. The alliance with Rebellion meant that they would have to face some powerful enemies one day, and it seemed meaningless that I kept my identity a secret from him. At first I thought of just watching from a distance, but various situations came up in a way I did not expect. As if I could read my mind, Lee Chan-yu smiled at me.

“You have helped me a few times before, enough so that it is not enough for me to bow down and express my gratitude hundreds of times, so.” He looks at me directly.

“Do you like the girl?”

“...” I don't know what he's talking about, so I can just blink. His smile is getting wider.

I know your heart.

“Not like that.”

“You don't need to hide it. The captain really liked that guy. I know how hard it is for you, but I'm sure love will fill the void inside you! ” I hit Lee Chan-yu on the head when he didn't have to put out passionate words and clenched his fists. I met the eyes of Kain, who was still leaning against the wall and looking out the big window in the castle.

[I'm happy to enjoy this warm conversation after all this time.]

Your words are too heavy.

Myu. I lay with Solas on my shoulder. When I first heard a monster appear, I made an unclear prediction. As a result, not only did I get a strong man named Cain, but I am now also cooperating with my sister's union. However, at the same time, it was also a declaration of war against Elakatra. It will be difficult to move in the future with them checking me out, so I have to move fast and get stronger. But today…

“Should I drink today?” Lee Chan-yu was stunned.

The captain sometimes says the worst things.

“I don't know about you, but Kain needs a break. So let's take a day off. ”

[Alcohol? To get me drunk in this body, I need more than a bottle of wine.]

Cain laughed, the giant body rumbling.

“I'll get you drunk, so look forward. Tomorrow will be difficult. ”

[Will it be time to keep my promise? I'll be ready.]

He nodded, his voice serious. Looking up, I saw a bright moon floating in the night sky. It was a good night to get drunk. From tomorrow, we will start moving in earnest. We have so many problems besides Elakatra, but all of them have one solution: to become stronger as quickly as possible. To that end, it was my goal to bring a high-level entity under my command. We also have to travel far. The larger guilds monopolized the famous dungeons around here, so we had to go outside Seoul to find a new hunting ground.

“Do we leave our tracks wherever we go?”

“We have just returned to human society, but now it will be difficult.”

[I'm sorry.]

“No, it's okay. It was my fault for being too noisy when I saved you. ”

“Large fabric size will be a valuable asset.”

Myu. There's only one way forward. I looked back at Lee Chan-yu and Kain, thinking for a moment before nodding. I went ahead and opened the door to the underworld.

“Lee Chan-yu, leave only a few monsters to protect the castle.”

You brought us? Lee Chan-yu's eyes shone brightly. I had never brought her with me before, and until now, she had deliberately avoided talking about it out of consideration for me. But he looked curious. I smiled bitterly and made the door bigger, asking Cain to join us.

[I don't think I'm an ordinary person but .. You are in a different league.]

“You're back, Destiny.” Rain greeted me as usual, unshakable no matter my appearance or friend. Cain and Lee Chan-yu stood behind me, instinctively lowering their heads to Rain as they realized the difference in their strength.

“I'll be looking for a dungeon on Earth, but a few things appeared, so I brought it here.”

“That's a great time, Fate. It's getting closer. ”

“What order?”

“There is something you should care about in this place.” Rain smiled at his lips.

“L?”

“Less important from him.” The bitter laughter left him.

“As I said before, we can only stay inside this castle. Until now, it is okay because we live in the space given to us. ”.

“What does it have to do with the existence of L out there?” On the wall, I saw L wearing a dress that fluttered in the wind. She had been looking at me the whole time, so I couldn't help but notice. A, whom I had never seen since conquering the Jinma tower, stood nearby with his eyes closed. But, I don't seem to care about him.

“Do you mean Devil's Night..?”

[Devil's Night?]

Although I don't know what it is, Lee Chan-yu asked that. It even made Kain react.

“You know that well, you two. When you think about what you've been through so far, great things will happen. ”

“What is it?”

“This is the night when ‘Ma’ was born. The night when all the villages collided, the absolute rules were admired by the underground. ”

Thankfully, Lee Chan-yu interprets Rain's incomprehensible words.

“I once told you about the underground battlefield, where aggressive monsters fight like crazy. When Devil's Night time arrives.. ”.

[Experience value increases. It is said to be a sublime ritual in which everyone fights for one purpose.]

Cain clenched his fists.

[But it worked well for me. I'm not strong enough to live there.]

“It's the same for me. This is a good opportunity in some ways. ” Cain and Lee Chan-yu come together, and I can get a rough idea of what happened from their conversation.

“By the way, so the demons will gather in this castle or something?”

“Like a moth on a flame, but it's annoying for us who can't leave. It became difficult for us to keep the castle completely safe. ” Rain smiled bitterly.

“The three of us will focus on defense. I'm sorry, but may I ask you to intercept? ”

“Is there a strong opponent like L? I'm not sure I'm facing it yet. ”

“Do not worry. There were only a few opponents as strong as that left here. ” She shrugs.

“If you don't stop by and see him, he'll scold you. So please hug him before the battle starts. ”

“I'll tell you everything later.”

“Destiny!” After making Rain a little embarrassed, I smiled and looked back. Lee Chan-yu looks at L and looks at me with a blank face.

Captain, two women?

“I don't remember any.”

The moon in the sky gradually began to glow black, a sign that was about to happen. The Devil's night is coming and with it a large number of demons. Thinking about it, it seemed like it was akin to a plague that would occur in a dungeon, or the Wind of Eutinus on the battlefield. I don't think it's a coincidence. No doubt, somehow they are all related. Maybe it had something to do with Elakatra or their leader. Maybe if I go through this, I will learn more about them.

By the way, captain.

“What?”

Who's that fairy over there?

“Ah.” I'm turning. I have focused on L until now, but there is Mireina who stands with a bow. I think he might cry if he realizes I don't recognize his presence. Lee Chan-yu, who saw my reaction, made a conscious face.

“Not only two women, but three ?!”

“You... do you feel bothered by the idea of me dating..?” I scratched my head.

“Like you.”

“Captain is truly a servant to love ..”

I pushed him and climbed the wall.

Soon, the Devil's Night will come.
