EP.55 Chapter 55 Encounter, Sage the Hero of Aslan Kingdom (2)
Bergio's sword aimed for my neck.
I deflected Bergio's sword that didn't lose its spirit until the end.
Clang!
Bergio's sword split in half and soared into the sky.
"Kuk!"
Despair settled in Bergio's eyes as he saw his final strike fail miserably.
The despair of not being able to win.
"You're strong."
I looked at Bergio with my body covered in wounds.
He was at least half again stronger than me.
The numerous stab wounds on my body gave an idea of his level.
I was pushed back even while wielding the demon sword and receiving buffs from Amy and Yulia.
The fact that he's collapsed before me now is purely thanks to luck.
"I was lucky."
I looked down at Bergio kneeling.
He was strong. Stronger than me.
But he couldn't land the fatal blow on me in the end.
His sword stabbed deeply into my chest.
I allowed it twice even.
But his sword didn't wound my heart or any vital organs.
It was the mistake of a guy who assumed a Demon King's internal structure was the same as a human's.
If he had cut off my head instead, I might have been incapacitated and returned to the dungeon.
'This is troublesome. That swords don't work.'
He changed his expression as if perplexed and changed strategies.
To somehow buy time and report my existence to the royal castle.
"Everyone retreat!"
I wasn't one to allow that.
As time dragged on like that, the knights who came with Bergio were overwhelmed by my subordinates.
Bergio's heart became urgent, and having lost his composure, he failed to see the feint hidden in my sword.
After my demon sword deeply pierced Bergio's shoulder, the tide of battle completely reversed.
And now here we are.
"...Kill me."
Bergio who had even lost his weapon looked up at me.
It was too wasteful to kill a Sword Master's talent like this.
Subjugation is impossible.
To make this guy my ally, I would need to make the entire kingdom mine to barely make it possible.
"Yulia."
Yulia who understood my implied question shook her head.
"It's impossible with the Demon King's current power."
"I see. That's a shame. I thought I could gain a capable subordinate."
"I'm sorry. When the Demon King becomes stronger, it will certainly be possible."
"You're saying there's no way right now?"
"Yes."
"Then there's no choice."
It was courtesy towards a strong person who fought honorably.
I cut off Bergio's neck without lingering attachment.
If he can't become a subordinate, kill him.
That was my iron rule.
"I'm sorry, Sage."
Bergio's neck with his eyes tightly shut flew off.
He muttered something to himself, but I wasn't curious.
It must be words to a lover left in the capital.
His corpse fell face down on the ground.
The experience points from Bergio and the knights entered me.
The dungeon's fame increased.
"Shall I absorb the head too?"
"No. There's somewhere to send the head separately."
"Are you thinking of sending it to the Aslan Kingdom?"
"That's right."
He said he was the Knight Commander of Aslan.
Now that I've killed him, full-scale war was inevitable.
If it can't be avoided, charge in.
"Change of plans."
Not just ordinary knights, but the Knight Commander came.
And likely the strongest person in the kingdom at that.
If they came this far, it was already irreversible.
If I take an ambiguous stance and get attacked, conquest becomes impossible.
So indeed.
"I'll declare war. The Knight Commander's head should be enough to make them tremble in fear."
It would be even better if they come to negotiate unable to overcome their fear.
Of course, several cities and castles would fall before that, but still.
The thought was brief and the decision swift.
"Tell Kina and Reilly to return too. There's no point in them staying in the royal castle."
"Yes, understood."
I sent Yulia carrying the Knight Commander's head.
"I'll return safely."
The wings at Yulia's waist grew in size, and she soon flew into the sky.
Flap!
***
Sage felt a sharp pain in her chest as if stabbed by a knife.
What's going wrong?
Her stomach churned at the instinctive sense of crisis.
'Lord Bergio...'
She was anxious.
Worried something might have happened to him.
But that's impossible.
The strongest Sword Master in the kingdom.
Even if a Demon King appeared, he wasn't someone who would die easily.
He will return alive.
He will return and inform us of the Demon King's existence.
And then they'll go on a date together at the steak restaurant she found.
"He-Hero!"
Her reverie was broken by the urgent cry of the royal guard.
"What's the matter?"
She cleared her throat to maintain her composure.
"A-A demon has appeared in the sky!"
"A demon?"
"A succubus is flying straight towards the royal castle!"
What?
Though the sun was setting in the west, it was still broad daylight.
What on earth was a demon thinking appearing under the sun?
God must be watching.
"Grab your weapons and head to the royal castle immediately! Protect His Majesty as top priority!"
Sage grabbed her holy sword and rushed to the royal castle.
"He-Hero!"
How long had it been since she arrived at the audience chamber where the king was?
Bang!
Someone roughly opened the door and entered.
It was a woman wearing a shirt said to be worn by guild clerks of the Empire, with wings at her waist. But perhaps because of her voluptuous figure, she seemed obscene despite being fully covered.
Her pupils were vertically slit, and facing that face was a demon possessing indescribable power.
A succubus.
Is this the succubus the royal guard mentioned?
"Oh my, His Majesty and the Hero are together. That makes it convenient to talk."
The succubus bowed her head.
"I am Yulia, a succubus serving the Demon King. I came to give you two a gift today."
She held out a wooden box in her hand.
The moment she saw that box, Sage felt the inexplicable anxiety she felt earlier gradually materializing.
Her pupils shook.
She was anxious.
It might be because of Yulia's eerie gaze looking at her.
She approached the box the succubus held out, hypnotizing herself to calm her mind.
Though a voice in her heart shouted not to open it, she couldn't ignore it either.
If what she guessed was right...
What should I do?
Sage opened the box.
"N-No..."
"Hero, what's inside?"
The king's words weren't heard.
She stared wide-eyed at the object inside the box.
Bergio's head, eyes closed in death.
The one called the kingdom's strongest had returned as a corpse with his head cleanly cut off.
"Wh-Why..."
"We executed a wanderer who trespassed into our territory without permission. But it turned out he was the kingdom's Knight Commander. I brought the head here personally as a sign of reconciliation. How is it?"
"I'll kill you!"
She drew her holy sword and rushed at Yulia.
"He-Hero!"
Whoosh!
Sage's sword didn't reach.
Even while disappearing into an illusion as if she expected this, Yulia continued speaking with a relaxed smile.
"Come visit us if you're angry. The Demon King is waiting for the Hero's visit."
Yulia disappeared.
She needed a target to vent this rising anger.
It felt like she would go crazy if she couldn't do anything like this.
Lord Bergio.
Lord Bergio.
Because I needlessly suspected them.
Because my abilities were lacking.
I got Knight Commander Bergio killed.
She who was blaming herself gritted her teeth.
"Kina, Reilly..."
She recalled those bitches who dared lie to His Majesty and the Hero.
I'll kill them.
I'll cut off their heads and send them to the Demon King.
Then I can at least somewhat avenge Bergio.
The Hero ran off.
The king and knights could only now confirm Bergio's head.
"Oh my goodness!"
Sage ignored their reactions and headed to the room where the two mages were staying.
"Kina! Reilly! I'll charge you with treason right now..."
But nothing remained in their room.
-To the stupid Hero.
-Bergio died because of you who was overconfident in the holy sword.
-Don't trust tools too much.
-We're returning to the Demon King, so come find us if you want revenge.
A scream burst from Sage's mouth.
Like that of a beast.
She vowed revenge hundreds of times, calling the names of the mages who had now left, the succubus, and the Demon King.
That she would kill them.
That she would surely kill them with her own hands.
She vowed.
***
"Good work."
I faced Yulia, Kina, and Reilly who had returned to the dungeon.
They bowed their heads prostrated before me.
"I thought I was going to die from my heart pounding."
Kina who had become talkative after falling spoke first.
"My heart was really pounding when I thought that Hero bitch had noticed our true identities! But we were able to get through it sufficiently! We did well, right?"
"Yes. You worked hard."
Was it not enough in words?
Kina curried favor and continued speaking in a nasally voice.
"Is that all?"
A somewhat disappointed look.
She looked up at me while twisting her body.
"I didn't get to taste the Demon King's body during the time away on the trip. While the other sisters were spending time messily with the Demon King, I... Sob sob."
"That's a lie, Demon King. Kina played around plenty with the Demon King's body that makes up my tongue."
"Reilly! Stop!"
"There were times when she forcibly made me open my mouth to kiss while masturbating her lower body with her own hand. She also told me to lick her pussy while sticking it out. Each time calling for the Demon King..."
"Aak! Stop! Stop!"
Kina covered Reilly's mouth to stop her words. Her face was bright red, probably from embarrassment.
But Reilly's mouth, which had lost the emotion of shame, didn't stop.
"Though indirect, masturbating using the Demon King's body was somewhat satisfying..."
"St-Stop already."
As Kina looked like she was about to cry, I stopped Reilly.
"That's enough, Reilly. It's true she couldn't be satisfied during the days in the royal castle."
"Th-Then..."
"Come with me. It's not good to do it here, so let's go to my bedroom."
"Yes! Demon King!"
I asked Reilly who was standing still without following.
"Why aren't you coming?"
"Was I included too?"
"Of course. It wasn't just Kina who went."
"Understood."
"Yulia, you worked hard too. Get some good rest today."
I sent away Yulia who I couldn't embrace anyway, and headed to the bedroom with Kina and Reilly.
How should I satisfy them?
While pondering.
