Novel The Max Level Hero has Returned! - Chapter 424

Episode 424

“Answer?”

There was nothing to peck at.

In the first place, if there is a good agreement between her and me, who are well aware of the danger, the direction of the war can be twisted.

“I will ask. Are you not angry at all, even though so many people have died?”

I didn’t answer that question.

“How do you think?”

“In the eyes of the original woman, you are definitely not a person to be passed over.”

“I saw it right away. To be honest, it would be a good idea to expel you guys back to the artificial demon realm right away.”

The faces of the demons turned red with anger at my bold assertion.

“But that’s none of my business.”

Raina came to my world and tried to do something herself, but that’s what flow is like.

The reality is that you don’t know what will happen if an outside being who has flowed in through an unauthorized route intervenes and twists it.

In this world, Princess Aeria and I were definitely uninvited guests.

At my words, Perserk quietly glared at me.

“your majesty! Kill Lee right now…”

“No, detain him. I will accept his offer. Keep him in custody until the details are decided.”

At those words, the expressions of the demons, especially the radical vampires Gluttony and Astaroth, were distorted, but some demons showed their blind loyalty to Perserk.

“Lowering! no it does! Now come and make peace! The high ground is right in front of you!”

Gluttony’s urgent cry poured out, but I turned my back without regret.

It was her choice, not mine.

* * *

A human from outside who introduced himself as Davey was detained.

Afterwards, the demon king Perserk mentioned very little about the upcoming threat and offered peace rather than a pointless war.

“How is your father?”

“Humans are hateful beings. Lily.”

“Yes…”

“But His Majesty’s words are not without reason.”

He murmured briefly and brushed Liline’s cheek.

“Haven’t a lot of people already died? Humans are human too, but a lot of innocent young demons died because of their futile resistance. It is obviously a difficult problem to overlook.”

More than anything.

The fact that Nix, the presumed deceased chief of staff, was doing it confused him.

“If it’s not… Are you going to stop the war even now according to Your Majesty’s will?”

“No, the war will not stop. Humans must be exterminated until there are no more left.”

At that resolute cry, Liline silently embraced him in his arms.

“Father… Isn’t it time to get rid of the guilt now?…”

“Liline. My precious daughter-in-law.”

“father.”

“You are like my daughter. So please don’t make this Siabi sad.”

“…I will follow your will, father.”

Astaroth let out a sigh at the sight of Liline slowly withdrawing.

bang!!!

At the same time, the tightly closed door opened and a threatening looking vampire walked in.

“Lord Gluttony.”

“Duke of Astaroth. What is this?”

“What do you want to say?”

“Do you think that we vampires will be on the side of the demons again in order to make peace with humans in a situation like this?!”

Astaroth’s expression hardened coldly at his roar. Then he looked at Lirine.

“Do you want to go out? Lily.”

“Yes, Father.”

At those words, Lirine looked at Gluttony in fear and cautiously walked outside. Gluttony, who was shouting at Astaroth, fell into her gaze for a moment, and for a moment, a gaze filled with lust reached her.

In a frightened mood, Lirine’s hands trembled, but she did not show it to Astaroth.

“Be careful. Even though I’m not at the level of Nix’s chief of staff in terms of strength, it’s not difficult to deal with you alone.”

“Kuh… This is against the rules. You said it clearly. They promise to exterminate humans to the root, capture them as slaves, and hand them over to us.”

At those words, Astaroth sighed.

“If so, would you?”

“yes?”

“He is the human who is presumed to have killed Chief Nix single-handedly. Even when I first said that I killed the dying world tree, I was a bit suspicious. If that is true, he is an extremely dangerous human being.”

“Isn’t it in our hands now! If you assassinate him here!”

At Gluttony’s words, Astaroth shook his head.

“Does that person look like a kid enough to come all the way here without making that judgment?”

“There is no guarantee otherwise.”

“I agree with your opinion. Reconciliation is realistic, but far from our long-cherished dream. This is not right.”

“you’re right!”

“If so, what would you do? His Majesty the Demon King has peace in mind. The sudden appearance of that human named Davey has the power to change the tide of this war. If the war continues without stopping, the author will come to the fore, and who will bear the countless sacrifices that will result from it?”

Gluttony gritted his teeth at his explanation.

“Only one human.”

“Because of that single human being, demons were driven from the continent to the artificial demon realm 3,000 years ago.”

Swordsman Hares.

was his presence.

Astaroth did not see it directly, but the testimony of the Demon King Perserk and Chief of Staff Nyx, who were living witnesses of history at the time, coincided.

“You can sprinkle ashes on the finished rice.”

“Then…”

“Besides, I’m stuck with that. The threat that the human and His Majesty the Demon King mentioned at the same time. I don’t even know what it is.”

Looking at the silent Gluttony, Astaroth murmured coldly.

“Assuming his powerlessness is true. Then you should take a look at the opportunity.”

Being able to resolve doubts without violating Perserk’s orders.

“I will ask for a truce. A non-stop ceasefire. So that I can pick up my sword again sometime.”

A ceasefire is different from the past.

It was a truce that would not be strange if a fight broke out again at any time.

“Wait a little. Following Nyx’s rebellion, His Majesty Perserk’s intentions are very confusing to this old man.”

“It is frustrating. To be honest, I expected it because it was the strongest demon king ever, but I am really disappointed. She’s a weak girl with no spirit… Cuck!!”

Gluttony, who had been shouting so, opened his eyes and let out a painful moan.

In an instant, Astaroth’s fist struck his throat.

“Take care of your mouth.”

He murmured briefly and let out a sigh.

“If at least there is a way to get rid of that human.”

Then there would be nothing to worry about.

It was then.

“Kyaaak!!!”

A familiar woman’s scream rang in Astaroth’s ears.

There is only one female demon in this quiet castle.

Lirine Olowage, my precious daughter-in-law.

Astaroth, who reflexively raised his body and jumped out, and Gluttony, who ran after him, were immediately able to see a surprising appearance.

What appeared in their field of vision was a woman.

She was a slightly eccentric, frighteningly pretty woman with a slim figure, tall red hair, and sharp teeth.

“Ohh. It’s full of worms.”

Speaking calmly, she grabbed Liline’s wrist and pushed her against the wall, licking her cheek with her tongue.

It was a long, thin tongue like a lizard.

“Aww! Oh father.”

Astaroth’s eyes lit up at the sight of him crying for help with a face filled with tears.

“Yeah two years! Let go of that hand!!”

At the same time, black demonic energy exploded from his body like an explosion. He is definitely a demon grand duke.

It was said that quite a few demons were capable of emitting demonic energy strong enough to harden them as they were.

His demonic spirit oppressed her, but she just brushed and licked Liline’s cheeks as if she were faithful to her desire.

“You look really delicious. The world on the front side is such a good thing.”

“What is your true identity!”

Astaroth shouted with a face full of tension.

Dangerous!

I felt a dangerous feeling that could not be compared to the humans I met earlier.

If the boy’s body didn’t feel anything, she felt a terrifyingly heavy, dark power in her body.

The kind of power that instinctively gives goosebumps.

“I was wandering around and saw something interesting.”

The woman who spoke calmly soon lost interest, untied her hand holding Liline and approached Astaroth.

Astaroth was obviously tall, but she was tall enough to meet Astaroth’s eyes.

“Are you curious about who I am?”

In instinctive fear, Astaroth realized that his hands were trembling involuntarily.

It was clearly a horror.

“Don’t be too scared. it’s an old bug My name is Slizzia.”

She smiled brightly and her sharp teeth flashed.

“Grand Duke Astaroth.”

At those words, she put on an expression that seemed to please her even more.

“okay. You seemed to have a very big influence in this world. Actually, it’s annoying, but I’m here to find a bug.”

At those words, Astaroth felt the pain in his chest, unable to breathe.

It was a terrible pressure.

It seemed that the cold sweat was not the only thing flowing.

Looking at the expression of Gluttony, the head of the radical vampires, who was trembling with his eyes wide open, the answer came out.

“They say it’s a bug…”

Astaroth held on to his dizzying spirit in the instinctive sense of fear. Fortunately, it was that she wasn’t hostile toward the demons yet.

The human who killed Nyx also appeared, but suddenly another unknown woman appeared.

She inducing fear to the point of being a god of destruction, she was manifesting an unknown power that was neither human nor demonic.

Just like… when His Majesty the Demon King looked over the demons once in a while.

Devil?

The moment I was thinking like that.

Slygia’s hand gripped Astaroth’s chin.

“Yes… Yes… I like it very much. Praise him for not losing his mind. It’s quite good for bugs.”

She spoke calmly, and said in a whirlwind.

“You help me. Then, can I lend a hand and give you a little help in your worm-like work?”

The grinning smile was terrifying.

“My people were seriously injured by a human. Even though it’s a useless year, first of all, it’s the same rank, so what can I do. The only thing I can do is give the bug direct education, as I, who is incomparably higher in rank than that useless thing.

The power of the princesses who climbed up from the abyss was nothing to do with uncivilized worms.

It must be engraved directly.

I couldn’t understand the meaning of those words, but Astaroth and Gluttony could understand.

That her words contained sincerity without bluffing.

And that she doesn’t instinctively feel disgust at the word bug.

I felt like I had become a servile being submissive in front of an overwhelming predator.

‘But… if her power is true, I can fulfill my wish no matter what!’

Astaroth, who was crazy about that, looked at her.

It’s an extremely dangerous existence that isn’t even a demon, but if it doesn’t provoke her, it will be of great help.

Demon King Perserk expressed his fear of an unknown threat. So, if even that threat can be resolved, there will be no need for a shitty peace friendship like now.

she gets a chance

The moment I thought so.

Slizzia, losing interest in Astaroth, turned her head away.

Where her gaze landed, she saw Lirine, terrified and sitting down, slowly moving away from her.

Her gaze was strangely dangerous. But that gaze was short-lived.

Afterwards, she turned her head toward Astaroth and smiled.

“Listen, I heard that there is a bug that bothers you guys. Anyway, I need to replenish my strength to find the bug I’m looking for, so I’ll kill that human myself in the meantime.”

His voice was full of confidence.
