Became the Idiot Young Master Who Tormented the Main Character

99. Demon World War (9)

I ran like crazy, but I already reached the end of the demon world.

I feel it.

A powerful magic that cannot be compared to the magic I felt until now.

It was pouring out from within the Demon King’s castle that was visible before my eyes.

‘I must not forget my purpose. I can never catch the Demon King alone.’

My goal is to find and kill Darius Trevan, and lift Pablo’s curse.

That’s the priority.

I’m woefully unprepared to defeat the Demon King alone.

‘…going back.’

Thinking so, I turned around again to try to follow Darius Trevan’s trail.

Someone was walking towards the entrance of the Demon King’s Castle.

‘Eek!’

I hurriedly hid my body and made no sound.

There are two coming.

They were walking towards each other, laughing loudly and chatting about something so funny.

Within, their exact reflections are visible.

‘…Darius Trevan?!’

Startled, I still hid my body and eavesdropped on their conversation.

“Kekekekeke, you’re really the one in charge of this experiment, Kidultik… If the Federation’s actions become known to the world, a great war will break out.”

“Haha, stop making scary jokes, Lord Darius. You are already on the same boat as us.”

Are Darius and the Federation in cahoots after all?

“Let’s go now. There’s one last experiment left, right?”

“… Hey, I heard that my current successful human modification experiment was also in the unfinished stage. This final experiment, will it really be successful?”

“Of course. Sir Darius, you have succeeded in even that low probability experiment. Why would we have reached out to you? You have a tens of times higher aptitude assimilation rate!”

“hmm….”

Are human modification experiments… experiments where humans are turned into monsters?

As they reach the entrance to the Demon King’s Castle, the monsters guarding the gate all move away.

At that time, I quickly finished my thoughts.

I want to approach Darius Trevan right now and cut off his head, but… the old man who looks like a wizard next to Darius has an unusual aura.

At least it seemed different from the 4 circle naburangs I’d brought up.

Probably a worst-case scenario, a Federation officer or captain. In that case, at least 8th Circle.

In my current state, the chances of me fighting both of them and winning at the same time are significantly low.

‘… First, follow them and infiltrate inside.’

I gathered all the magical power flowing through my blood and concentrated it on my lower body.

Explosive energy is transmitted from the lower body.

-Paang!

I jumped up to the third floor in one breath.

It’s a good thing there are no windows in the castle.

I threw myself into a hole that looked like a wide open window.

Degururur.

Safe landing! Successfully entered.

“What, what is it!”

“A person came in from the air-”

“Shh. You shouldn’t be talking like that.”

-Shhh!

-Squeak!

I encountered some guys walking around in Federation clothing, but I quickly cut off their heads so they couldn’t make any more noise.

‘There is no time to hide the body.’

Currently I am on the 3rd floor.

The interior was more splendid than expected.

In the marble hallways, which are endlessly painted with strange patterns, the doors here and there are made of luxurious wood.

The outside looked like an abandoned construction site, so I thought the inside would be just as shabby and messy, but it felt like I had entered a different building.

Thud thud.

I hear someone coming up the stairs outside.

‘There’s no way it’ll be like this now.’

Avoid combat as much as possible until you engage in full-scale war with Darius.

I opened the nearest door and went inside.

-Thud!

I was on guard as soon as I entered, but fortunately, there seemed to be no one guarding the inside.

What is this room for?

‘The glass block I saw at the factory? But… there’s only one.’

Is this also an experiment room?

I approached the glass. Inside the glass, there was a creature that looked like a monster sleeping soundly.

Fluffy.

It didn’t seem to be dead, as I occasionally saw water droplets spitting out of its mouth, which was equipped with a respirator.

‘Is this person also a successful test subject? … I feel an incredible amount of magic.’

It’s so creepy and magical.

This guy… no, this monster who has now become a monster.

Is it true that he was originally human?

Its entire body is covered in thick black fur, and its upper body resembles a deer.

It has human limbs, but the face of a deer… There are also two menacingly curved horns on its head.

In other factories, there was at least some trace of humanity left, but this person has none of that and appears to be a complete monster.

I looked for a note under the glass just in case, but there was nothing like that attached.

‘The experimental results were not even written down, and the test subject was left alone in the Demon King’s castle…’

It felt like there was something, but I couldn’t deduce it at the moment.

“This is the room.”

“Oh… So there’s a body here that I can fit into?”

‘… … !’

Darius’ voice is heard from beyond the door.

What is it? Are you trying to come into this room?

What kind of trick is this! There must be so many rooms, but why this one!

-Rumble.

“Surprise! Kelkel, let’s take a look at what a wonderful body you have!”

“I’m sure you’ll like it.”

They come into the room.

He walks as if there is no one in the room, and approaches the glass block I had seen earlier.

…Yeah, like there’s no one in the room.

That was fortunate.

One of the magical tools received from the Night Raven. A robe of concealment.

I hid behind the glass and used the stealth robe.

They didn’t recognize me because I covered my whole body with the teleportation magic tool.

‘… Phew, I endured it for 10 years.’

They approached the glass and began to chat amicably again.

“This guy… the Demon King?”

“Yes. Hehe, it’s the Demon King Baphomet, the being that brought fear to all of humanity 1000 years ago.”

“… Aren’t you going to wake up?”

“There is no need to fear. He is asleep due to the most advanced mind interference magic developed by the Arcanian Federation.”

I was so shocked by their conversation that I almost got caught hiding.

The Demon King Baphomet?!

So, is the monster sleeping inside the glass before my eyes… the Demon King Baphomet?!

“By the way, the Black Magic Cult has also worked quite hard. They have cooperated to help the Demon King’s resurrection, and things have gone so smoothly.”

“Haha… Yeah, it’s definitely true that the Demon King’s resurrection is helpful.”

“Of course! Haha, I’m talking about the resurrection of the Demon King possessed by Darius!”

“Hahahahahahaha!”

The resurrection of the demon lord possessed by Darius… .

After eavesdropping on their conversation, I now understand everything.

A strange sight of numerous factories built in the Demon World.

‘There may be experiments on the transformation of human and monster species, but in conclusion, they are trying to covet the Demon King’s body.’

I don’t know how they put the Demon King to sleep.

Their magical engineering… I hate to admit it, but it might be the best in the world.

Instead of contributing his advanced engineering skills to humanity, he transforms into a demon king with a powerful body and magical powers and seeks to conquer the world.

To summarize, it was like that.

‘Those disgusting guys… They brought in unrelated people as test subjects, experimented on them, and applied it to Darius Trevan.’

Darius Trevan is also a seriously stupid guy.

Even if they have a high aptitude or assimilation rate or something, do you really think they’ll just help you become possessed by the Demon King?

It will obviously be used as a discard pile for experiments.

The upper echelons of the Arcania Federation would not allow just anyone to become the Demon King.

As a result, the one who ends up possessed by the Demon King is… the highest leader of the Federation.

“Kelkel, hurry up and let me possess the Demon King! There’s someone I want to kill right now! Kidult!”

“Haha, isn’t that already a confirmed fact? Don’t be so hasty. It seems like something has come up that needs to be taken care of right now.”

“Huh? Something to take care of? What is it?”

“It seems like a bug has crawled into the Demon King’s castle.”

After that conversation, I was able to have an intuition.

… got caught.

I don’t know how, but even though I disappeared from sight and sound, that wizard named Kidult sensed me.

As a result, he was walking slowly towards me.

Still, Darius just looked at him with a blank expression.

‘Shall we fight?’

No, there may be no chance.

This is their lair. Even if we fight Darius and this wizard on equal footing, we will be outnumbered when the rest of the rascals come rushing in.

‘Then should I run away?’

It’s impossible.

I don’t know if it was a trick of God, but I was discovered by a wizard named Kidult who hid in this crucial location.

The magical power felt is at least 8 circles.

You can’t run away from him.

I came to a conclusion.

“…don’t move.”

““… … !””

He took off his hiding robe and revealed himself.

And then, immediately, he quickly aimed his sword at the sleeping Glassk of the Demon King Baphomet.

The purpose of all their experiments and all their deeds is the thing inside this glass.

If this thing goes wrong, everything will be in vain.

This was the conclusion I quickly came to in an emergency situation.

“If you move any further, I will cut down the Demon King with my Glassk.”

“You, you…!”

“… Sir Darius, do you know him?”

I spoke calmly to the excited Darius.

“I was going to cut off your other arm, but I didn’t know you were planning something like this, Darius Trevan.”

“You son of a -!”

“Just a moment! Wait a minute, Sir Darius.”

I warned the kidult who was sneaking up on me again.

“Didn’t I tell you not to move?”

“Haha, if I move, I’ll cut down the Demon King with my Glassk. Is that what you’re saying?”

“okay.”

“If you can, try it. Hehe, do you know what that glass is made of? It’s Orichalcon. I don’t know who you are, but unless you bring the aura of a seven-star sword master… .”

I ignored his words, and held out one arm, which was pointing the sword, while the other hand was extended.

-Whoa!

A vortex of brilliant light appears in a dark space.

The vortex gathers and gathers, and begins to gather into my hand.

The light that had become a handful formed a straight line and was held in my hand.

… At that moment, I saw the face of the kidult guy filled with confusion.

I told them.

“I should test to see if the aura of a seven-star sword master is stronger or if the holy sword made of divine power is stronger.”

This place also happened to be a testing ground.
