chapter 95
95. Selene (3)
Yuma stood in front of the Great Demon King Lilith.
“I got the engraving. Now I plan to go kill Bergette.”
Lilith nodded at Yuma’s words.
“Okay. If another day or two goes by, the chances of them noticing this occupation will only increase, so let’s leave as soon as the sun rises.”
Yuma nodded.
“I get it.”
Yuma opened the door to the house where Selene was living again.
Squeak─
Selene was sitting on the chair again, just like when she first saw him.
And the sight of Belle chattering away in front of Selene caught her eye.
“Sister, sister, let’s find a way to come down to Middle-earth later!”
“Okay.”
Selene smiled awkwardly as she looked at Belle, who was speaking very animatedly. Belle and Selene chatted for a while longer and then fell asleep. Yuma also fell into a light sleep a little distance away next to the two.

“It’s boring.”
Purple toad.
The demon, whose face and body resembled a toad, opened its mouth wide and let out a long yawn.
Bergette, the lord of all blessings, was sitting on the throne.
Bergette felt bored again. The conquest of the family began because of this extreme boredom. The family that was hunted down 350 years ago as part of the conquest of that family was the Gamgin family.
Should we devour another family again?
Bergette was seriously thinking about that. He had wanted to escape this long period of boredom more than once or twice. However, he was just watching the other Great Demon Lords.
I didn’t know that if I went too wild, two or more Great Demon Lords might come together and destroy me.
‘There’s no way they would show such friendly behavior.’
Bergette felt that the area in front of the palace had become very noisy. And then someone hurriedly walked inside. That was his right-hand man, Chief of Staff Algonus.
Algonus, a blue-skinned demon-type demon, hurriedly approached Bergette.
“Berget-sama—!”
It was a cry that seemed very urgent.
“What’s going on?”
Algonus opened his mouth without even having time to catch his breath.
“Lilith. It is said that the Great Demon King Lilith is leading her troops and heading here, <Blood World Castle>.”
Bergette’s eyebrows furrowed.
“Lilith. Is this the <master of all fire magic> Lilith that I know?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Why is that b*tch suddenly making me….”
Anger and absurdity swirled in Bergette’s mind. Bergette traced the reason why Lilith might be targeting her.
‘The people called the Great Demon King are very rational.’
To get revenge for a war fought over 1,500 years ago?
Was Lilith an irrational being who could risk her position as the Great Demon King for such a personal revenge?
Bergette shook her head.
In the first place, it was the Great Demon King Lilith who first proposed ending the ongoing war.
‘Rather, to march forward so boldly.’
It seemed far from an unreasonable march for the position of the Great Demon King.
‘me… I guess it means that you have the confidence to take down the blood system with me.’
I couldn’t even imagine what it was, but the fact that they were directly attacking this place, <Blood World Castle>, rather than the mountains or plains that are commonly used as battlefields in the Demon World. I couldn’t help but think that it was because the power to kill him clearly existed.
‘What on earth have you prepared? Have you formed an alliance with another Great Demon Lord?’
The face that resembled a purple toad was crumpled. Golden eyes trembled subtly.
Another being came next to Bergette.
It was Rohit of the Marang tribe, Bergette’s left arm and general.
The wolf said to the toad.
“The observation team has identified the vanguard of the advancing enemy.”
Who is at the forefront of the beings marching towards <Blood World Castle>?
Bergette swallowed her saliva and waited for Rohit’s next words.
“I am human.”
Rohit’s words pierced Bergette’s ears.
The furrow between Bergette’s eyebrows, which was already crumpled, became deeper.
“human?”
Both of Bergette’s golden eyes stared at Rohit. It was a note that made him question whether he had heard it correctly.
Rohit lowered his wolf head at Bergette’s angry gaze.
“Yes, it is definitely a human. It is certain because that human even used a voice amplification artifact and declared war on the <Blood World Castle>.”
As Bergette continued Rohit’s words, it felt like a harmless joke.
“…Declaring war with a loudspeaker artifact? Are you talking about just humans? No matter how strong they are, they are such lowly creatures that their strength is on par with that of first-tier demons?”
Rohit swallowed his saliva as the dark red air flowed behind Bergette’s back. Bergette was angry now. The highest point that a species can reach is nothing more than a ‘Grand Master’, and how dare a human be like that to themselves. The fact that he is looking beyond this land where he exists, <Blood Gye Castle>.
Rohit steadfastly opened his mouth again despite Bergette’s cold gaze.
This is because he thought it was information that his lord must hear.
“I have learned information about humans. A human with dark gray hair and bulging eyes. That human is the human who killed two demon kings among the demon forces sent to Middle Earth led by Archdemon King Kutos. The first rank is transcendental. “I think it is possible that he did it.”
A distinctive feature appeared in Bergette’s gold.
“I see… So you killed two demon lords?”
However, contrary to the statement that there was a need to think about something, the deadly demonic energy that was flowing from his thick body like a huge fire did not seem to subside at all.
‘I was wondering if you had found a decent army, human?’
It’s not like he’s allied with any other Great Demon King.
It’s not like they formed a huge alliance with dozens of demon lords.
One human being who just killed two demon lords?
“You’re saying you’re confident that you can kill this Bergette by just killing two demon lords that are so widespread?”
Bergette stuck out her huge dark red tongue.
Bergette’s eyes continued to stare at Rohit.
“So, what is the content of the declaration of war by that human you just mentioned?”
Rohit said while sweating.
“Well, the Great Demon Lord told me to come out and deal with him personally.”
Bergette looked at Rohit intently.
“Exactly. Tell me everything he said without missing a single word.”
In the end, Rohit had no choice but to tell the truth that he had been hiding in order to avoid further inflaming Bergette’s anger.
“…If you weren’t scared, he told you to come out and deal with him directly. He said that if you killed him, the Archdemon King Lilith and her subordinate armies behind him would never advance to <Blood World Castle>.”
Bergette, the king of all blessings, looked blank for a moment as his huge, long tongue hung down.
“As long as that human kills himself, Lilith and the Purgatory army will not invade the Blood World Castle… Did you say that? That b*stard?”
“Yes, that’s right. And as for Lilith retreating if you kill her, she said it was part of an oath she made on her honor as the Great Demon King.”
Bergette jumped up from her throne. Archdemon King Bergette, who took the form of a toad bigger than an ogre, walked forward with great strides. It was bipedal.
“It looks like the crazy b*tch has become very senile. To put her honor on the line on a mere human being.”
Bergette asked herself if she had ever been so angry in her life.
‘does not exist.’
Quang!
With that conclusion, Bergette opened the palace door as if breaking it down.
‘Did you even see the possibility that that person could kill me just because he killed two demon lords? ‘b*tch.’
Seeing his lord taking strides toward the outside of <Blood World Castle>, he hurriedly followed him.
Rohit opened his mouth again.
“He said he would wait in front of the Blood World Castle.”
Bergette said, showing her sharp teeth.
“Make that human b*stard come inside the castle gate. I have to show that b*tch what happens if she sets foot in this blood castle. So she won’t do something insolent like this again.”
Bergette decided to turn the human into dozens of pieces of meat.
Lilith was planning on tearing the man who had pulled out her sword, claiming it was hers.
“Gather all the forces of the Blood World Castle behind me. I will personally tear down those fearless humans with my own hands. I will use this army to put pressure on Lilith.”
I had no intention of clashing with Lilith right away.
Because I didn’t have anything in mind like a war between the Great Demon Lords. However, if I just let it go, it was obvious that the rumor would spread. First of all, there is a rumor that he is a guy who didn’t fight back even though he was dealt such an odd gamble.
“I understand, my lord.”
After the demon-type demon Algenus answered, he disappeared to carry out Bergette’s orders.
***
Blood type.
Yuma gazed at the castle of Great Demon King Bergette.
Behind Yuma, a large army of tens of thousands of people led by Lilith was stretched out.
Because Yuma confirmed it.
‘I’ll catch that Bergette. He said, ‘Get ready to catch the rest of the troops.’
I couldn’t resist that calm assurance.
Lilith, the Great Demon King of Red Spots, <the master of all fire demons>, looked at Yuma standing in front of her.
“I didn’t talk about the family at all. It was quite a good choice to touch Bergette’s pride by talking about the main daughter’s honor. If I talked about the family, there was a risk of doing something useless.”
Yuma nodded slowly. It was a provocation carried out with that intention in the first place. A provocation aimed at making you unable to even dream of attacking yourself because of your family name.
At that time, just as Yuma had just said in a loud voice. A huge demon’s voice was heard from the direction of the Blood World Castle.
-Human, if you are so confident, please come into this blood world castle. In that case, the Great Demon King will personally teach you.
Yuma turned around at those words.
Selene, the matriarch of the imprint family Levian, was there.
Yuma approached Selene.
Jeopuk
Selene’s cloudy eyes looked directly at Yuma.
Yuma slowly opened his mouth.
“Don’t worry, I haven’t failed to keep a promise yet.”
Seline smiled brightly.
“Yes, please come back, Yuma.”
