[Operation Yangdong (2)]

Turn back time a little A few days ago

– Man! I have become the devil!

The moment he saw Lily’s bright face through the magic communication port, he couldn’t help but make a quite complicated expression.

“Um… okay….” -Did

I do well? Now, I’m going to go down to the Demon King’s Castle and kill them all! Everything is going according to plan!

After entering the room, Lily finally took off her Demon Rabbit doll and jumped around in excitement.

The more this happened, the more he secretly became overcome with guilt.

A kid who likes being a demon lord….

“I don’t have anything to say because I ordered him to do it… but I don’t think he’ll like it as if he’s winning some kind of reward…. Morally…”

-Other I will bring down all the demon lords and make them my subordinates! I think I’ve gotten stronger since coming to the Demon World! Baal also won earlier? Ah, he was fake, but…

“…hey.”

Maybe he gave birth to a rare great demon king.

When the great man looked at him with such concern, the little demon king who had been chatting away spoke seriously with his eyes shining.

-So, uncle, don’t fight anymore. Now just trust me and stay still. Understand?

The moment Daein saw that face full of worry and concern, he had to struggle to hold back the laughter that was about to escape him.

‘Of course it is.’

Lily was not happy about becoming a demon lord, but was happy about being able to help the great people.

Daein, feeling a little tickled, responded bluntly for no reason.

“Why would I fight here myself? “Just press the nuclear missile button a few times and wait, and Vasago and the Death Squad will take care of the rest.”

Everyone around him knew that Daein was not in good health.

Therefore, since coming to the Demon World, the 100-member death squad brought by the Allied Forces always took turns of 10 people to guard Daein’s side.

Now, even they had separated themselves for a moment to have a quiet conversation with Lily.

-Let’s talk to Daein too.

-Clark. How are you feeling, disciple?

-Dad!

Abraxas Cheonmugeuk Wendy was also seen behind Lily.

“Is anyone hurt anywhere?”

The great man briefly exchanged greetings with them, but he did not have much time to talk for a long time.

If the call lasted too long, I could have been tracked down by Vassago.

“If you don’t have anything more to say, let’s do the rest later. This is almost all sorted out. “I’ll get back to you soon.”

It was when Daein was about to hang up the call.

Abraxas said in a slightly serious tone.

-Then I’ll just talk about this. There was something strange when she met Baal earlier…

She explained the strange things she felt from Baal, who had descended on Berit’s body, by adding her own guess.

Then the man’s expression hardened.

“Baal’s soul is divided into several places?”

-I need to check more details, but there are at least 10 places. I don’t know why… but I couldn’t have done that because I was bored.

It was a story that could not just be ignored.

Daein recalled things related to Baal among the information given by future Lily.

‘I’m not sure, but…’

There were a few things I was suspicious of.

“As. “Keep checking on that and let me know.”

-okay. I will continue to care.

The great man nodded and spoke to Lily again.

“kid. Then let’s proceed with the rest as planned. Use Belial to remodel the Demon Castle and immediately move to the next operational area. “If anything happens, call me right away.”

-huh! Believe me!

Lily pounded her chest, telling me to trust her.

If it had been like before, it would have been as uneasy as a child thrown into the water, but now it seemed quite trustworthy.

Rather, now

, if something happens, don’t worry about it alone, call me!

“I really…”

The great man looked at the girl beyond the crystal ball with an expression of bewilderment.

“kid. “You seem to forget this often these days, but I’m your guardian, right?”

-That was a long time ago. Now that he’s sick, I’m his guardian.

“What…”

It was a strange logic, but in the end, I had no choice but to smile and nod.

“I get it. “It’s a bit much for now, so I’ll contact you again later.”

And Daein cut off communication. At the same time, he released the [Concealment] that had surrounded the space around him.

Sssssssut….

As soon as the concealment shield disappeared and Daein revealed himself, today’s security guard, the Murim Lord Cheongwoon, approached.

“Did the story end well?”

“uh. “It’s going smoothly over there too.”

The ‘leadership’ of the death squad, including Cheongwoon, knew that Lily had been deployed in another operation.

So it didn’t matter if I told you to some extent.

Cheongun, who heard the story from Daein, nodded.

“Thank goodness.”

“let’s hurry. “Because there’s nothing good about causing Vassago’s suspicion for no reason.”

“Escort the Commander-in-Chief!”

At the sound of Cheongun’s loud shout, a 10-member death squad quickly formed a formation to protect Daein.

Each and every one of them has great qualities.

The great man walked leisurely under the protection of the most powerful people in various dimensions, including the martial forest of Earth, Gaia.

‘I feel a little overprotected, but… When will I ever get to enjoy this luxury again in my life?’

It had to be comfortable to go around with a force that wouldn’t even blink an eye even if one of the most demonic lords fell in front of me.

…Sometimes, I feel a bit burdened by the gazes filled with excessive respect and sense of duty.

“I have chosen you as my lifelong nemesis. So… I will never let you die in a place like this.”

Cheongwoon, who was right next to me, was wary of his surroundings with eyes that were bright red and bloodshot, with a big decision in his eyes.

“If something dangerous happens to you, even if it means risking my life…”

“Don’t be so foolish. And how many times have I said I’m okay…”

“I’m not okay!”

“…Ugh.”

The great man imitated a prophet who would not have much time left to live while unraveling information about the future.

Coupled with his current worsening physical condition, he was now treated as a patient for whom it would not be strange if he died at any time.

…In the end, it’s all about self-employment.

“Let’s go to Vassago.”

The great man walked through a corridor covered in blood with his bodyguards.

The place they are walking is the Demon Castle of Agares.

The corpses of demons were stepped on with every step, and traces of the fierce battle remained everywhere.

-Kyaaaaaaa!

It seemed like there were places that hadn’t been cleaned up, as there were still shouts and loud noises coming from all over the place.

“hey. Where is Vassago?”

The great man shouted and asked a member of Vassago’s family who was killing a demon in front of him by tearing it from both sides.

Vassago’s household was easy to distinguish.

Even though they had different shapes, they were all skeletons.

“What kind of bastard is the master…!”

The skeletal giant turned around, wondering if anyone would dare call Vassago’s name in vain, and soon straightened his spine slightly when he saw the great man and those guarding him.

“This landlord! “Master went to the Great Hall of Agares…”

“It looks like they have already invaded there. Oh, let’s not worry about it and just keep doing what we’re doing.”

The great men and the death squad passed by the skeleton giant and headed to Daejeon. The screams of a demon being torn apart by a skeleton giant could be heard from behind.

“Landlord!”

“Meet the king’s close friend!”

The demons who saw the great man bowed or fell flat on his face. That attitude was not much different from how he treated Vassago.

[The landlord is my close friend. Treat him as you would treat him!] This

was because Vassago had declared Daein that way and because of the brilliant battles Daein had led the Allied Forces so far.

Since coming to the Demon World, Daein has never fought in battle in person.

However, there was no one who ignored Daein.

Because it was Daein who played the biggest role in Vassago’s occupation of Agares’ territory.

[Are you here? My close friend.]

“My close friend is a mess.”

As I entered the main hall, where the door was broken, I saw Vassago sitting on a high, blood-red throne at the end.

A throne that originally belonged to Agares.

Vassago sat on it and looked down with an arrogant gaze.

There was a mountain of corpses under his feet, so much so that he had no place to step.

“You’re in such good shape.”

[Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. Let me enjoy this feeling for just a moment.]

Despite the great man’s sarcasm, Vassago shook his shoulders and laughed as if he was amused.

He was truly happy.

Agares was always one step above him.

As I pulled him down and sat down, I felt a sense of satisfaction that is difficult to express in words.

“But where is Agares?”

Daein said as he looked around the devastated Daejeon.

The final battle, in which Vassago, the demon kings, and most of the death squad were deployed, ended in victory for the Allied Forces without any major changes.

Afterwards, Vassago chased Agares, who was running away into the castle.

‘As a patient, I just watched from afar.’

However, no matter how much I looked, there was no trace of Agares inside.

Even corpses.

At that moment, Vassago’s laughter stopped for the first time.

[When I arrived, they had already fled. He had prepared a space movement magic in advance.]

“You mean he ran away? also?”

[…I didn’t expect that he would make a hole to escape like a rat.]

The great man looked at Vassago with a suspicious gaze.

‘You didn’t let them go on purpose?’

Daein did not let down his guard against Vasago.

After winning the first battle, the Allied forces advanced without difficulty.

The operation was almost similar.

After preemptively striking the place where Agares’ army was gathered in one place with a nuclear weapon, the high-ranking demons and demon kings who withstood the attack were dealt with by the Allied Forces’ desperate unit.

An advance without any obstacles.

Vassago, who gained an alliance called the Allied Forces, quickly made Agares’ territory his own.

On the other hand, Agares did not even have time to properly recover from the wounds suffered in the defeat in the first battle.

Just like that, the war between the second and third leaders of the demon world ended in an instant.

With a landslide victory for the top three.

‘But missing Agares again… I feel uncomfortable.’

[Could it be that you doubt me?]

Vassago asked with a straight face, as if he sensed that the great man was suspicious of him.

“no way. no way.”

[…I admit that it is a misunderstanding situation. However, catching Agares, who has decided to run away, is difficult even if it is not me but Baal.]

“Who said what? Do you think I might get stabbed?”

As Daein spoke with a playful smile, Vasago also burst into laughter.

However, there was a cold dagger hidden in the devil’s next words.

[Who are you communicating with like that these days?]

‘Have you noticed?’

The opponent is the greatest wizard in the Demon World.

Vassago had noticed that Daein was secretly communicating with someone.

“Oh, that? I received a call from the forward base. “They said supplies were sent from the base.”

However, because he had fully expected that much, he lied calmly.

‘Advance Base’ referred to the Demon Castle of Barbatos, which connected the gate to Earth.

Since he was actually in contact with them, it was perfect for cleverly distorting the facts.

[is it. Actually, supply is important to humans.]

Although he didn’t seem to completely believe it, Vassago didn’t probe further.

Vassago was in a pretty good mood right now to continue fighting against Daein while wasting his mental strength.

[one more. I have good news to tell you.]

“Good news?”

I had an idea what it was, but Daein tilted his head with an expression that said he couldn’t guess.

Vassago opened his mouth, expecting the person’s reaction.

[This is news that was just delivered by a spy planted on Baal’s side. They say a new demon king has been born in the north.]

“…Why is that such a happy thing?”

As expected, Daein looked like he had no idea.

Vassago was filled with a sense of superiority, knowing that he was the only one who knew this fact.

[The demon lord’s name is Nibaniva. Surprisingly, it refused to swear allegiance to Baal. Rather, it is said that he challenged Baal to a fight.]

“What? Is that really true?”

The surprised man opened his eyes wide.

[Kkkkkkk. A rebellion broke out within Baal’s territory.]

“Oh my…!”

The great man opened his mouth in surprise. Vassago’s smile grew even deeper.

[This means that Baal’s leadership is being questioned. It’s truly a golden opportunity for us. When he was shaking like he was now…]

A blue light flickered in Vassago’s empty eye sockets.

[You have to bite off his neck.]

Ambition to ascend to the highest position in the demon world.

The ambition I had harbored for so long was now so close that I could grasp it.

Because he was blinded by his ambition, Vassago did not see the meaningful smile hanging at the corner of the great man’s mouth.

‘There’s no need for me to encourage you.’

Daein’s original plan was to encourage Vassago to advance straight into Baal’s territory.

However, if Vassago is already in a state of strength like this,

“If I do this well, I will be able to sit on Baal’s throne soon, right?”

A little stimulation was enough.

[It’s Baal’s throne… I’ve wanted to sit on it for a long time.]

Ssssssut….

Dark magical energy flowed from the Demon King’s whole body and filled the great hall.

[I’m already tired of this.]

Vassago stood up as if shaking his chair, summoned all his subordinates and commanders, and gave orders.

[Prepare to dispatch troops! We will attack Baal!]
