Novel The Max Level Hero has Returned! - Chapter 423
Episode 423
“Thank you for coming to everyone.”
Muttering in a tired voice, she looked around at the demons, vampires, and all races that were friendly to them.
“Of course, if His Majesty called, it makes sense to attend. Please do not mind.”
Beginning with Grand Duke Astaroth, many demons bowed their heads and bowed their heads.
Looking at those demons, Perserk was silent for a long time before slowly opening his mouth.
“I should get a report first….”
“Yes, I will report from the technical field first. In the past human civilization, we found hidden technology fields, magic books, and many other valuable books and evacuated them to this place. I believe it will be of great help in improving the quality of life of demons in the future.”
Following the young demon’s report, a female demon stepped forward.
“According to your order, you have succeeded in capturing 7 strongholds of the Orc resistance fighters who are still resisting. Now they have only three natural fortresses and one castle of the Orc King. We can advance as long as you give us orders.”
Following the technology war situation report, various reports such as funding and migration came up.
And finally, Astaroth stepped forward with a report that would put confusion on everyone’s faces.
“Your Majesty… the connection with Chief of Staff Nyx has been lost.”
“What…”
“Huh…”
Despite the buzz of the surprised demons, Astaroth calmly continued to speak.
“He must have cut off the life of the dying World Tree along with Grimgal (Black Dragon Corps) and went to catch the human who did great disrespect to His Majesty’s prison body.”
At those words, Perserk nodded.
“Something seems to be wrong.”
At that, Perserk nodded again with an insensitive expression.
It seems clear that Nyx is dead or has been sealed to some extent.
The disgusting feeling that had invaded and manipulated her mind was refreshingly gone.
“Duke Astaroth.”
When a soft voice came out, he quietly lowered his head.
“How does it look to you?”
“To put it mildly, there is no existence that can kill the Chief of Staff single-handedly. Unlike the other Undead, he is the true Undead himself. Killing him is next to impossible.”
he quietly continued.
“So the only thing I can think of is that Chief of Staff Nyx started a secret mission using the Black Dragon Unit…”
Common sense tells us that he can’t die, so we can only accept that he’s trying to carry out a mission even if he pretends to be dead.
“No, Chief Nix is dead.”
“What…”
“Otherwise, he must have been sealed.”
Perserk cupped his throbbing headache with one hand.
The displeasure of Nyx’s mental power was gone, but my head throbbed, probably because I had been overexerting myself.
“your majesty! what?! Nothing has been reported yet!”
Astaroth shouted in bewilderment.
The other demons seemed to be taken aback as well, as if they couldn’t easily believe her words.
That would be the case, since to the demons, the existence of Nyx was no different from an absolute existence.
“It is impossible that the Chief of Staff is dead. your majesty!”
“It is!”
“Are you Nyx’s servants or the original woman’s servants?”
Seeing the confusion, Perserk quietly asked them a question.
Then the voice inside the palace disappeared.
“Among Jim’s words and Nyx’s dogma, you believe in the latter.”
“That’s…”
This was absurd in the hierarchy of the demon society.
In the midst of such chaos, there was someone who moved first.
“Lord kill me!”
Perserk frowned as Astaroth bowed his head and begged for forgiveness. A careful inspiration….
Even as she thought about that, she continued to speak.
“You guys wouldn’t know. What did Chief of Staff Nyx do to the original girl’s body while resurrecting her?”
“What is that…”
“He violated the hierarchy of the demons and committed treason.
If Nyx was dead, I’d rather use it. Even in order to put an end to this endless war to be gained in the future.
No more.
The relationship between the adversary and the demon lord will be strained if humans are destroyed more than this.
the moment it happens.
The monsters will open their eyes.
Perserk thought so and sighed.
“your majesty! It’s half a treason. What…”
“If the one who manipulated the king to his own liking by placing restrictions and restrictions on the king’s body is not a traitor, what is it?”
“I can.”
“Can you not believe what the original woman said?”
Silence enveloped the palace at the cold question.
However, for a very fleeting moment, Gluttony, the leader of the radical vampires, showed annoyance on his face.
‘It’s that guy.’
While her mind was completely controlled, she couldn’t show any free will. Nicks didn’t do all this machinations alone. Gluttony, the leader of the radical vampires.
That might have played a part too.
Everything from snacks to sleep and everything else was under Nyx’s control.
It’s really upsetting to the end, but since he’s already gone, I had to think about the afterlife.
“Vampire Gluttony. You don’t look good.”
“No. Your Majesty the Demon King.”
Perserk, who glared at him for a short answer, turned his head again.
“If not, really…”
“But, Your Majesty. Nix’s existence alone strengthens our demons…”
It was the moment he said that.
Suddenly, the door to the palace opened and a succubus woman hurried in.
If other succubuses had a captivating appearance and were full of sexiness, she had a uniquely neat beauty among succubuses.
“Haa… haa…”
“Lilyne!”
Startled by the woman’s appearance, Astaroth shouted at her and ran at him.
Archduke Astaroth.
Even among demons, he is called a cold-hearted being, but he showed a terribly fondness for his unusual daughter-in-law, the succubus Liline Olowage.
Lirine Oloage has the highest level of power among succubus, but because of her natural temperament, she was a little unusual being that was not like her species.
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty! I have something to report urgently…”
The moment the other demons were about to say something at the sight of Liline speaking as if she was very intimidated.
Perserk raised a hand to restrain them.
“I want to tell you.”
“That’s… the humans came.”
“what?”
The report left the audience silent.
“The human who claimed to have killed Nyx appeared here single-handedly. And that… accompanied by a ferocious black dragon that doesn’t listen to anything other than His Majesty’s orders.”
At those words, everyone’s faces were shocked.
Perserk also remained silent as he did not fully understand the situation.
“A human came?”
“I will meet your majesty…”
“Where is he now?”
“He accepted redemption without resistance. We’re sending them here…”
At that, the demons stood up en masse.
“Dangerous! your majesty!”
“God send me! God will go and slit that cheeky bastard’s head with one stroke!”
When the giant demon general shouted, voices like that burst out from all sides.
Most were of the same opinion.
Nyx currently has the best power among the demons.
Although Perserk possesses tremendous magical skills, here she was in a state where her body could not keep up with the prestige of the past.
Even so, the reason why the demons follow her is probably because Perserk can still demonstrate overwhelming power only against the demons.
In any case, the judgment was that if he had killed even such a Nix, he would not know what would happen if he entered this place without resistance and caused a riot.
“No, I want to call him.”
However, Perserk made a different choice than before.
Now that Nyx’s control was gone, she thought that this human phenomenon could be a great opportunity.
A chance to end this meaningless war now.
“Your Majesty!”
“Are you going to be intimidated by a human? Were you all scarecrows who could do nothing without traitor Nyx?”
At those words, the demons stiffened like mutes who drank honey.
Perserk, who achieved what he wanted by slightly touching his ego, soon fixed his gaze on Lirine, who was gasping for breath.
“Have you checked his strength?”
“It’s… it’s not confirmed…”
“Let it in.”
With those words, Lirine left the royal palace again, and soon after, the only other being in the royal palace where numerous demons gathered.
A young human boy walked in leisurely.
Although his body was bound with black chains, the boy’s expression looked surprisingly relaxed.
too young
Humans are an aging species.
It is said that aging stops when undergoing a round bone metamorphosis, but the boy was too young to be considered to have undergone a round bone metamorphosis.
It seemed like he wasn’t even in his 20s.
“Perserk.”
Perserk cast a complicated look at the boy who called him strangely.
“Since Nyx is dead, no one can hold you and shake you as you please. That’s why I came.”
“You…”
“Surrender Perserk. If you surrender now, I will spare your life.”
At the boy’s tone, as if he knew her well, shouts from angry demons began pouring in.
* * *
“That cheeky! How dare you, Your Majesty!”
“your majesty! Kill that cheeky human right now! I can’t even believe that Chief of Staff Nyx was killed by that young human!”
Fierce cries pour in.
In their eyes, there would be no mana that I could feel in my body. That’s also the case, because the clone only contains the minimum maintenance mana, so even if you try to detect it, you’ll only see a feeble amount.
A terrible life was pouring out, but I moved slowly.
There’s nothing to be sorry about, since there’s nothing to lose your life anyway.
However, I had the means to lightly suppress their thoughts.
empty!!!
I threw the small wand I was accustomed to taking out of my arms and threw it on the floor.
“That one!”
“Abyssal Hall!!”
It was one of Chief of Staff Nyx’s favorite weapons, and it was nothing short of his symbol.
“Do you believe me now?”
I smiled and took a step, and I quietly ignored the fact that both of my arms were bound.
“If you surrender, you’re willing to live?”
“human! How dare you say where is this place!”
coo!!!!
At my words, a large demon quickly rushed in, grabbed me by the collar, and lifted me into the air.
“A man with a liver sticking out of his stomach! How dare you dare to say such absurd things to His Majesty! What color is your blood!”
“Don’t be curious because it’s red.”
Took…
It was obviously a prey gripped by mighty power, but I, who lightly tapped his arm a few times, relieved the pressure and spoke to Perserk.
“Nicks wouldn’t have known. That the war should not continue any longer.”
“…”
“But you know?”
Perserk’s expression turned blue at my words.
Compared to the first time I met her, she was really lively.
Maybe it’s because he’s tired of resignation, but it’s different from the days when he was controlled by Nix’s power.
“If you don’t want everyone on this continent to die, end the war here. You can use half of the continent you ate as you like.”
“Dude… What is your identity…”
“Are you curious about my identity? Or we need a realistic alternative.”
It was the moment when the demons who couldn’t follow Perserk’s words and I were confused.
“War is meaningless. As you well know, Abyss guys aren’t usually venomous. If you guys are going to continue the war here.”
Of course, it may not be easy with just the tongue.
In that case, you have no choice but to cheat.
“I have no choice but to stand on the side of humans and kick all of you back to that artificial demon realm.”
“dare!!!”
Quaang!!
Unable to hold back their anger, the giant demons drew their swords and tried to wield them.
“stop!!”
But Perserk’s cry stopped his sword from reaching me.
Even if it was a little too late, the weakened inner body would have been destroyed.
However, it was also true that dying here was against his intentions, so he was thinking of using the one insurance he had in his arms.
Even that, thanks to Perserk, I didn’t use it and saved it.
“Your Majesty!”
“He’s right… A war beyond this is too dangerous for both races.”
Confusion appeared on the faces of the demons at her words.
“You guys don’t know. The real enemy is sticking his head in and waiting for an opportunity. It would be right to settle past grudges here. More than anything.”
She murmured briefly and looked at me with fearful eyes.
Trying to see with the power of the abyss, I’m sure all she can see is black noise.
So you won’t know if you see it.
However, it is safe to say that the reason she was wary of me even though she couldn’t see anything was because the first meeting with me had such a big impact on her memory even while her mind was being taken over.
In fact, the dark elf standing next to her as an escort looks terrified as soon as he sees me.
A cold silence hung over the hall.
