Became the Idiot Young Master Who Tormented the Main Character

101. Demon World War (11)

The very next day after taking turns keeping watch with Iris.

Irina, Perry, and Canton arrived in the ice land of Arenne.

Irina, who was the first to see him after getting off his horse, smiled quietly and exclaimed in admiration.

“Hoo. You’re alive, Cian?”

“It’s been a while, Irina.”

“I was just making plans for when I die yesterday, but it turned out to be useless.”

“… … .”

Perry and Canton, who got off their horses late, were also startled when they saw me.

“Hey, Sir Cian! You’re alive! I expected it since Archduke Pablo’s curse had disappeared, but I was worried!”

“Wow, that’s amazing… When you said you were going into the Demon World alone, I thought you were going to commit suicide. Don’t do something reckless again!”

“I’m sorry for worrying everyone.”

After exchanging greetings again, I led everyone into the tree house.

Because I was wary of the eyes that might still be around me while talking in such an open space.

“So this is where I’m staying…! It’s cozy.”

“Wow, it’s warm. Is that a fireplace?”

“… Huh.”

For some reason, Irina opens her eyes half-heartedly, looking back and forth between me and Iris.

Then Irina asked me.

“Sian, did you spend last night with Iris?”

“Yes. We slept together while keeping watch… Is there a problem?”

“Nothing happened?”

“Well… fortunately, none of the surrounding detection magic tools were activated. I was able to sleep comfortably.”

It was while we were talking.

Suddenly Iris sighed deeply and said as she sent me behind her.

“What are you saying to the pure Confucius?”

“…? What did I do?”

“Don’t pretend not to know when you already know everything.”

Irina and Iris start fighting with their eyes.

… In fact, I understood the playful intention behind Irina’s words.

I just naturally changed the subject. I didn’t really have anything to say in return.

I was worried that it would get annoying if the fight between the two escalated, so I clapped my hands so that everyone could hear.

Then everyone simultaneously turned their heads to me.

“Let’s stop looking at the house and start the meeting.”

.

.

.

.

I explained the situation to everyone exactly as I explained it to Iris last night.

The Demon King who was currently sleeping in the glass was taken out and woke up.

Seeing that he remained in the Demon World without moving even after waking up, it is highly likely that the Demon King was put to sleep again using the mental interference magic developed by the Arcania Federation.

Then Canton said,

“Sian, security must be tighter now than when you infiltrated.”

“I guess so. Since they even used a stealth robe, they’ll be even more vigilant in keeping an eye out for intruders.”

Irina also asked me a question as I answered with a serious expression.

“Is it possible that the Demon King was transported to another place?”

“Probably not. The magic I felt up close was so thick and ominous that anyone who wasn’t a 4-star unmanned player or higher would suffocate to death.”

“… Is that it? It wasn’t that bad when I sealed the Demon King 1000 years ago… I guess the demonic energy accumulated while he was trapped.”

I told Iris.

“Iris, have you informed the Empire that the Arcanian Federation has betrayed humanity?”

“Yes. I sent Stitch as soon as I heard the explanation last night.”

“Then it will soon escalate into war.”

“Reinforcements will probably arrive here within a few days.”

““… … !””

At the mention of support troops, everyone’s eyes were focused on Iris.

“It’s not the job of a party of warriors to deal with the Federation. The country eliminates rebels. Probably 200 soldiers will gather in Arene to open the way to the Demon King.”

“Oh! Just hearing it makes me feel reassured!”

“Since it is an unusual event, are you saying that you will support it as much as possible, keeping in mind the possibility of failure? ”

Perry, who had been quietly listening to everyone’s conversation, also spoke up.

“I feel a little… reassured! The more troops we have, the more reassured we feel.”

“You said this was your first time in combat, Perry?”

“Yes. Lady Iris, you have a doll-like appearance and seem like you’d never be involved in fighting… I’m surprised you’ve been in so many battles.”

That’s a confession.

Iris’s appearance is so doll-like that you would believe she is a daughter of a noble family.

How many times has someone with that kind of face fought a life-or-death battle?

In the world I lived in before I became a nerd, I thought I could live well without worry just by broadcasting on the Internet.

“Haha, you are beautiful too, Perry.”

“Ouch! My heart just skipped a beat-!”

Irina, feeling that the conversation was going off topic, made a sullen expression and tapped the floor with her finger.

“Then should we wait here until the imperial reinforcements arrive?”

“Probably so.”

“This will be a war party, not a subjugation party. … Has everyone prepared themselves mentally?”

Canton answered Irina’s words loudly.

“Of course! If we fail to stop the Demon King, the dwarf country will be in ruins, so I must sacrifice my life for my hometown!”

Peridot.

“I, I too… want to work hard to keep my father and the fields from being in danger.”

Iris too.

“War is familiar.”

me too.

“I’m ready.”

finally…

“Ha, that’s fortunate. I’m not even married yet, so if the world were to end, I’d be in trouble too.”

Even Irina herself.

We were well prepared for the coming war.

All that remained was to wait for the imperial army.

*

While waiting for reinforcements from the Empire, Iris secretly approached the Demon Realm and conducted reconnaissance.

As we expected, she said that there were a lot of monsters gathered at the beginning of the end of the Demon World.

We had no choice but to wait for four more days for reinforcements from the Imperial Army.

Still, there was one thing I had no worries about.

The Demon King cannot be transported.

To transport a being that is as weak as a weakling to another place with such thick magic… .

In chess, it was as reckless as moving the queen first when all the pawns remained.

Also, since I killed Darius Trevan, who had a high rate of assimilation among the Demons, they will be desperate to find a replacement.

There was ample time, and we were soon able to meet the imperial troops who had arrived to provide support.

“You came.”

“Chung! Welcome to the party of Sword Master Iris and the warriors!”

A commander of soldiers giving a sword-like salute.

Joining them, we reviewed our plan once again and concluded that a frontal assault and guerrilla warfare were the only options.

By the way, guerrilla warfare is a military term.

A tactical strategy that uses a small military force to counter a large military organization.

For example, while the first unit confronts the enemy head-on and attacks, the second unit attacks the enemy’s vulnerable points and engages each other in a counterattack.

We joined forces with the Imperial Army and moved towards the Demon Realm the very next day.

Since Iris had finished all the reconnaissance the day before, she was able to find out where the demons were gathered and how many of the Demon King’s castle’s troops were concentrated.

200 elite 3-4 star knights of the Imperial Army.

All low-level monsters can be dealt with easily.

“Advance! Towards the Demon Realm! We will not betray the faith of the Empire, which is at war with the Federation!”

““For humanity!””

The soldiers forced a frontal breakthrough.

In preparation for the possible appearance of mid- to high-level monsters, Canton decided to leave behind soldiers.

“Hello… Everyone, we must defeat Demon King Bephomet!”

“Okay. Good luck.”

“Huh. You’re saying something obvious.”

“I’m not confident in combat, but leave the healing to me!”

“… Good luck, Canton.”

We rode away from the soldiers and struck at the center.

At the entrance to the Demon World, a huge number of monsters and demons had already gathered due to the invasion of soldiers.

‘Whether the disruption worked or not, I was relieved thanks to the Imperial Army.’

I can see the Demon King’s castle.

The place where I infiltrated and fought fiercely with the Kidults last time.

As expected, there was no room to sneak in, as a barrier magic made of purple curtains was cast around the area.

To break the barrier, there was no choice but to break through the entrance head-on.

I quickly got off my horse, leaving Iris, Irina, and Perry behind.

Two giant bear-shaped intermediate monsters and about 20 humanoid skeletons are firmly guarding the entrance.

“Krrrr? Krrrr!”

“Kyaaak!”

“Kkirik, kirik.”

-Whoaaah!

feeze.

I entered the skeleton horde and swung my auror-covered orichalcon sword madly.

Skeletons, whose bones are separated and unable to form a form, fall down one by one.

The remaining two intermediate level monsters were running towards me.

-Whew!

-Phew pew!

“Ku …

Irina shooting an arrow with an aura added from behind.

Thanks to her keeping my monsters in check, I was able to quickly clear out the skeletons.

“I will finish it! Please step aside, Your Majesty!”

“All right!”

Thanks to Iris’ finishing touches, we were able to quickly clear out the monsters and skeletons guarding the entrance.

Now the wizards who had just realized what had happened at the entrance came running in a panic.

They were all helpless before Iris, the sword master.

“Those monsters who betrayed humanity…! No matter what the circumstances, I will cut you down no matter what the reason! Your Majesty, I have lifted the barrier magic circle! Please enter the entrance with your party members!”

“Thank you…! Please don’t die, Iris….”

“Of course. Hehe… I can’t die to these things even if I want to.”

I grabbed Perry’s hand, who was wandering around, and ran toward the entrance.

“Heet!”

“This is no time to panic, Mr. Perry! We must advance quickly to the entrance!”

Irina, who had been shooting from the rear, comes down the hill with a blank expression and follows us.

… As soon as we entered, dozens of wizards were waiting for us, chanting magic.

“…Mr. Perry.”

“yes?”

“From now on, Mr. Perry, you have to show some strength.”

Even for me, it was impossible to counteract all of their magic by myself.
