The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

265 – Scene 265# the Winter Knight

*

As you head further north from the Demon Forest, an ‘extinction zone’ appears at the northernmost point.

Covered only with ice and snow, it is the coldest region in the world.

If Northern Garden is a place where people can live, this is an extreme remote area where not only people, but also animals, plants, monsters, and demons cannot live.

The only people living there are beings called ‘Wraiths of Winter’. No… It can be said that living is half right and half wrong. Because they are already dead (undead).

Aaron is also an undead who was in the extinction zone. For some reason, he came down from the extinction zone and made the demons of the Demon Forest obey.

If everything went according to plan, we should have gained hegemony over the Forest of Demons by now and used that momentum to advance towards Roelgrin Castle, but my intervention caused a setback.

I thought we would meet soon, but I didn’t expect him to contact me first.

Aaron first made it clear that he had no intention of fighting and that he wanted to talk to me. Whatever it is, it won’t be too late to hear the story and make a decision.

I set up a temporary meeting place in the middle of the forest, next to the pond where Luna fell into yesterday.

Our participants are me, Helga, and Blanche. On the other hand, Aaron is alone.

Thanks to this, the eyes of the women standing behind me were all focused on Aaron. Although his facial expression was not revealed because he was wearing a mask, it was clear that he was hostile to him.

In particular, Helga stands with a life-like attitude with her magic flowing into her body. Having defeated monsters and demons while working as Aslan, she is already full of thoughts of having a fight. I hope she doesn’t step out without my instructions…

Blanchet, on the other hand, was calm. But that doesn’t mean she relaxed. Although she did not openly show hostility like Helga, she did not let down her guard her. It was truly behavior befitting the title of the duke’s daughter’s bodyguard.

Hell, I wish I could follow her example even a little …

“… “Why are you doing that?”

“… “Nothing.”

“Something… I think you’re disappointed in me…”

“It’s probably because of my mood.”

To be honest, it’s safe to have just these two people, but the annihilation maid, Lian, and the black earth people are also lurking in the shadows of the trees around them. Ah… No. When I looked closely, I saw that Rian was sleeping hidden in the shadow of a tree.

These days, when it’s cold, she keeps hibernating, as if she has narcolepsy. This is the first time I’ve heard of a setting like this, but it seems like the vampire’s body gets shivery when it’s cold.

Anyway, seeing them do this even though they didn’t ask them to do it would have made them realize it.

That Aaron is by no means an easy opponent.

Aaron, the winter knight sitting on the rock, was smaller than Leon or Gale, but the aura that radiated from her body surpassed both of them.

When I met Aaron in person, I felt like a noble warrior. His snow-white hair, frozen beard, and thick-lined facial features gave us an idea of what kind of life he had led. In some ways, it is an atmosphere that does not fit the nickname of a knight.

He participated in the meeting alone, without accompanying the Hoin or his subordinates.

He seemed fine while receiving all of our hostility.

“Not long ago, humans from the south occupied the castle.”

“Oh yeah. “It was like that.”

“… I guess he already knew because he wasn’t surprised. Well, since such a large army has come, wouldn’t it be more strange not to know?”

“What…”

In fact, I was the one who dragged those people in, so I have nothing to say.

Aaron got straight to the point.

“Then the story will be quick. Say it bluntly. “Why not join hands just until we drive out the humans?”

Well then.

He plans to put off fighting with me for hegemony over the forest and exclude the imperial army that took over the castle.

Unlike the first expedition in the original, this time as many as 100,000 troops came to the north. From his perspective his, it must have felt like a big threat.

“As you know, our real enemies are humans. They are right in front of us and setting up camp. Even now, if we join hands and launch a counterattack against them, victory is certain.”

But I won’t let him have his way

I sat down on the chair Blanche had prepared for me, crossed my legs, and smiled like a wicked woman. If possible, I’ll practice not looking like Tristan.

“Counterattack? “You’re talking as if humans are attacking us?”

Helga and Blanche behind them flinched at the unusual tone of voice. Anyway, I decided to immerse myself in this character called Trinity.

“At least I don’t remember being attacked by humans.”

“These guys unexpectedly led a large army and took over the castle. “If it’s not an attack, what else is it?”

“If the castle is ours, then yes.”

“What?”

Aron’s forehead was wrinkled.

“If I’m not mistaken, that castle originally belonged to humans. Huh? No?”

“That was a long time ago. Now it’s clear that our demons are-.”

“After that, monsters and demons lived in the castle. “Do you have any?”

“…”

That’s not right.

Aaron doesn’t need Roelgreen Castle. He is a demon with a deep hatred for humans.

He intends to intensify the conflict with humans by inciting the demons.

The devil is a being that appears in conflict and hatred. The more he urges the demons like this, the better this will become for setting up a demon lord.

If I didn’t exist.

“What are you doing? “I didn’t answer.”

“… No.”

“No, right? That’s theirs. “What do we use that last name for?”

“… Isn’t it a matter of whether to use the last name or not? That castle was built to block us. “Retaking that castle again means there is no intention to attack us.”

“In the end, it’s just a guess.”

The knight of winter, Aaron, was speechless.

An ordinary demon would have sympathized with Aaron due to his hostility toward humans, but not me.

In the end, Aaron realized that I was not someone he would easily fall for and changed his attitude.

“Listen carefully… “I plan to protect monsters and demons from humans.”

“That goes for me too.”

“So all the demons of this forest must work together to quickly defeat the humans.”

“Wrong. So don’t hit it. “For no reason, if you provoke people first, things will only escalate.”

“Humans are unable to communicate, so they have to experience it to come to their senses. “Now is the time to show them our power.”

“Don’t jump to conclusions. Because there are people who can communicate with each other.”

“The conversation… “A human being who can communicate?”

Aaron’s eyes flashed ominously. The cold air flowing around him stopped all at once.

That moment… An extraordinary event occurred before our eyes.

Then-.

Aaron clenched his fist in the air and pulled it back with his magic power. Then, as if he had torn through time and space, a rapier as thin as a thread was held in his hand.

The sword Aaron compressed the moisture floating in the air and froze it at an incredibly low temperature.

Even before drawing their swords, Blanche and Helga had already blocked Aaron’s path.

But Aaron didn’t care and pointed the tip of his sword at me.

“You expect a conversation from a human! Answer me. “Whose side are you on?”

“Whose side are you on?”

“Are you communicating with humans?”

In response to Aaron’s threats, I did not even blink out of pride. Not only that, he was able to laugh at his murderous interrogation.

“You use the word ‘naetong’ too often. “It’s as if there shouldn’t be a single demon who is friendly with humans.”

“Answer me.”

“You’ve been rude to our lady since a while ago.”

It was Helga who intervened like that.

Aaron frowned.

“What are you again?”

“The former lady’s potential lover… “It’s like an escort that sticks around.”

“Escort? This cocky… “Don’t get involved in a conversation about the mere topic of escort.”

“Ike… “I’m really sorry for interfering.”

Helga folded her hands and apologized lightly. Her eyes revealed beneath the mask, were smiling, contrary to her apology.

“But since I’m sorry, can I ask you one question?”

“What?”

“Do you want to search now? Or do you want to search today?”

What is the difference between the two?

Aaron reacted to Helga’s blatant provocation.

Her anger made me feel a chill.

“Is this b*tch crazy now… ?” .”

“Omg. How did you know? That crazy b*tch. Now that I know, I have no choice but to screw up…”

“You two, please stop.”

It was Blanche who stopped the two before I could intervene.

“This is a place for conversation. Please calm down and take a seat.”

“Are you telling me to stay silent after receiving this kind of insult?”

“Pull up your sword and speak.”

“?!”

At that moment, Aaron’s eyes widened.

Blanche held his rapier in her bare hands.

It was sharp, but the sword Aaron made was so cold that even a slight cut could cause frostbite. Even Aaron would be shocked to see him holding such a sword so casually.

“Don’t do anything foolish and put away your sword.”

“…”

The opponent is Blanche, a cold-weather beast with resistance to ice. The knight of winter, Aaron, eventually took a step back and destroyed his sword.

“Then what about me?”

“… “You just don’t do nonsense.”

“Yes.”

Helga also quietly retreated after being scolded by Blanche.

Aaron sat down on the rock again and asked me a question.

“Whose side are you on?”

“Whose side are you on? That’s right, I’m on my side.”

“… Answer me straight.”

“You are the one who has to speak straight. Aaron.”

“What?”

“Just because you have some demons in this forest, doesn’t mean you can represent all demons. Just because I don’t follow your wishes, it would be difficult for you to accuse me of being a traitor.”

Helga, who was listening, hummed and nodded her head. I ignored her and continued what she said.

“I wouldn’t know if humans pointed their swords at me. “I have no intention of opposing them now.”

“… Are you saying that we, the demons, will forget the humiliation and contempt we received from humans?”

“I mean, not all humans are like that. Besides, in the end, what you’re talking about is to attack the still people first.”

“Okay. What does that mean? “It’s a chance to show them what they’ve done.”

“… “I did it.”

“… ? “What did you just say?”

I elegantly crossed my legs in opposite directions and chanted to Aaron.

“A mean thing.”
