The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

269 – Scene 269# Before the Snowstorm Blows

*

After the mysterious demon, Trinity, returned, the imperial army was thrown into confusion.

Not only did she break through the castle’s defense all by herself, but the appearance of a demon who declared that she would become the Demon Lord shocked them.

Immediately the commanders of all armies gathered to discuss this situation.

Among them, there was a lot of debate about whether or not to believe the story told by Mine Trinity, who suddenly appeared.

But Bella dismissed it as a useless discussion.

What is important is that someone capable of threatening the imperial troops stationed in this castle has appeared.

That reason alone is reason enough to accelerate the repairs to this castle.

Not only I but also the other commanders agreed with Bella’s words and immediately put all their efforts into the defense of the castle.

For the Imperial Army, Trinity’s appearance was a reminder that Mine was so dangerous that she could single-handedly subdue dozens of humans if she put her mind to it.

After defeating the giant ice worm, there was tension among the triumphant imperial troops. Also, the fear that a demon might attack the castle at any time created a sense of crisis.

Perhaps it was because of this, but the imperial army mobilized all its might for two days to complete the repairs to the castle.

Fortunately, the repair work on the castle wall was almost completed and Ariel’s defense technique was nearing completion, so the imperial army was able to complete all preparations within two days.

“…”

I was standing on the northern wall, feeling the cold night wind.

As I looked at the dark snowy field, the Demon Forest and the horizon came into view in the distance.

The scenery from the top of the castle was so beautiful that I could just stare at it blankly, but I couldn’t just accept it sentimentally.

Beyond the horizon is a land of death, an extinction zone that freezes everything. And in that land of death, the third demon king of this work is born.

Snow Princess, Arisa.

The master who is served by Aaron, the knight of winter and the person responsible for freezing the world in a fierce cold comparable to the Ice Age.

Considering that they are competing for the position of Demon King, it can be said that Arisa, not Aaron, is Trinity’s real rival.

Unlike the original, he did not even appear because he was a huge hit to the players, but he is a major character who corresponds to the final boss.

Of course, I plan to prevent her from even appearing this time. In the future, when it was too difficult for her to deal with the player, it was obvious that she would not be able to handle it if the Snow Princess appeared.

The way for me to stop the Snow Princess, Arisa, is to thwart Aaron’s plan. In order to make Arisa the Demon King, Aaron is coming down from the extinction zone early and expanding her power.

The reason I hid my identity and even staged a play to move the imperial army was all to stop Aaron.

Moreover, there was one more reason to take the risk of being discovered.

It is important to stop Aaron, but it is more important to change the deep-rooted perception of humans that are hostile to the demons.

In order for humans and demons to fight together against players in the future, it is necessary to shake their perception.

That’s why we want to leave a good precedent.

There are also demons that are friendly to humans.

“You were here. Count.”

When I turned my head, silver hair with a bluish tint caught my eye. Below, eyes like a lake in the middle of winter were looking at me.

“Bella…”

“You’ve been looking for it for a while.”

“Is something happening?”

“Do I have to come to you for something?”

“… That’s not true.”

“Then excuse me.”

Bella stood next to me and looked down at the northern landscape unfolding before her.

“It’s quiet.”

“Okay…”

It was amazing that she was so noble that she stood shoulder to shoulder with me, her main villain. Not only that, she and I are now fighting together. If it were the original, it would be a truly unimaginable situation.

“Count.”

“?”

“Give me your hand.”

“Hands?”

“Because I have something to give you.”

What are you trying to give me? When I held out my hand, Bella grabbed my hand.

“Cold!? What? My hands are so cold, why aren’t I wearing gloves? .”

“It’s okay to put it in your pocket.”

“Oh my. It’s okay, what’s okay? “Give it to me.”

Bella put her hands in her pockets like she did. The inside of her pocket she was very warm, unlike mine.

“Well, it’s warm like this, right?”

“… Right. But didn’t you say you would give me something?”

“You just gave it to me.”

“?”

“You gave me my warmth. Are you acting like a fool?”

“…”

I watched her hair blowing in the night wind in silence. Then her eyes met hers.

“Why… ? Why are you staring at me like that?”

“Just…”

“Because it’s pretty… ?”

“…”

“Be patient… “Do you really hate it when someone tells you that you’re pretty?”

“I never said I didn’t like it.”

“It’s all evident in your facial expression, right?”

I always maintain a neutral expression and do not show any emotions through patience. However, my expressionless expression sometimes led to small misunderstandings.

“Don’t misunderstand. “My facial expression is usually like this.”

“I know. Because I just tried it. Rather, the count.”

“What?”

“Do you have any brothers or sisters?”

My eyebrows narrowed at the question with no context.

“… No. “No.”

“I guess so. Also…”

“Why are you asking that?”

“It might sound strange to say this, but… “There is that devil I met.”

“You mean that woman named Trinity?”

“Yes. “It looks a bit like you.”

She was momentarily shocked by those words, but this time too she was able to hide the agitation of her heart by exercising’patience’.

There is only one question in my mind.

‘How?’

Not only did she change her gender, she even wore an eye mask and a cape to hide her identity. She even changed the way she spoke, so there would have been no inferences about her relationship with Tristan.

But how did Bella find out?

I tried to calmly ask back.

“You look like me?”

“Yes. Something… Should I say that the atmosphere is similar? Especially when I look at those eyes, I think of you…”

“…”

I can’t believe that’s the only thing that reminds me of myself.

In the first place, Trinity was an illusion created based on the female version of Tristan. Although there are some similarities in appearance…

Even so, Bella’s observation skills were scary enough.

I told her in a sly manner to avoid her suspicions.

“Is it. I don’t know at first glance, but if what you say is right, she might be a good match for me.”

“Yes?”

“If I get the chance, I’d like to meet you again.”

“Hmm… If I do that, not only will I kill you, but I might kill you. “That woman.”

Bella smiled quietly. I was a little scared because the murderous intent behind her smile seemed genuine.

I decided to subtly change the subject.

“So does she believe what the devil said? Do you really think the demons will attack?”

“Umm… “I don’t know.”

Bella thought for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“I do not know. But no matter how much you look at it, there is no benefit to be gained by lying to us like that… Considering that she also took risks to come to our castle… It would be better for us to believe.”

“If they attack this place as she said, then you should only focus on protecting this castle.”

“Yes?”

I remembered Bella’s appearance when she lost to Aaron once.

Knowing that it was a very dark time for Bella, I wanted to avoid a situation where she had to fight with Aaron as much as possible.

“But I also have to go outside the castle and fight back…”

“Everything ends when the castle we worked so hard to regain is taken away by these guys. So, leave the fighting outside the castle to me or the other Seven Stars, and you protect this most important castle.”

I deliberately emphasized that it was the most important.

I thought that wasn’t enough so I added.

“You probably realized how dangerous Mine is. If such demons invade the castle, the soldiers here are likely to be confused. The person who can lead properly at that time is… As far as I know, you are the only one.”

“… You’re suddenly overestimating me, which is uncharacteristic of you. “You will protect me anyway, so what are you worried about?”

“… “Me?”

“Yes. If I become in danger, you will save me like you did then.”

Bella, who said that, was staring straight at my face her her her her. Her eyes contained infinite trust in me.

The look in her eyes felt somewhat excessive, so I looked away.

“Shameless talk… “You really overestimate me.”

“Hehe… Do not worry. “Because I am not weak enough for you to save me.”

“Then you… ” .”

“But I know what the Count means. Since you say so much, I will stay and guard this castle.”

Fortunately, Bella accepted my opinion.

However, it wasn’t just that.

“Instead!”

“Instead?”

“If I protect the castle well, my wish will be granted. How do you feel?”

Bella giggled with a playful expression on her face. Even her cheeky attitude was lovely, but I was afraid of what kind of wish she was doing.

“… “What kind of wish are you asking for again?”

“It’s a secret.”

You must be young…

Bella giggles as if she thinks about that wish. I don’t know what she’s thinking, but it feels unfair for me to stay still.

“I get it. So what do you plan to do if you can’t protect the castle?”

“Yes?”

“If you want to make a wish, there should be a corresponding penalty.”

“You have that much money, but you’re going to be like this?”

“Don’t be mistaken. “Regardless of money, I’m naturally a bit of a idiot.”

“… I’m really proud of that. So what do you want from me? Mr. Jjojan.”

In any case, if you can’t protect the castle, it’s over. That’s why I made an appropriate wish.

“Rabbit.”

“?!”

Bella’s face her lit up just by saying that one word.

“Well, that’s bad! “You want me to wear that again?!”

“Okay.”

The bunny girl outfit she wore the other day because she said it gave her energy. In fact, it wasn’t something I asked her to do, it was something she wore voluntarily, but somehow it seems like she’s treating it as a dark act.

There would be no time to talk about her wish if her last name she had been taken away anyway, but Bella slapped her hand as if she was extremely embarrassed.

No, I even pinched my hand her in her pocket her her her her. It hurts.

“Really, really bad quality… ! Forget about that rabbit quickly! “Don’t even think twice!”

“If I tell you not to think about rabbits, what will you think of?”

“Yes?”

“You will think of rabbits. So I can never forget what you looked like back then.”

“You said something plausible, but in the end, you made me wear those shameless and vulgar clothes again, right?!”

“Okay. “I know you well.”

“Beast… Low quality… What really happened to your hair?”

“If you’re going to make a wish from me, be prepared to do that…”

At that moment, I was speechless.

I was staring at ‘things’ that came into my field of vision.

“I think I’ll die of shame if I do something like that in front of you again. So, another wish…”

“…”

“Count? “What’s wrong?”

“… “I came.”

*

“Aaron!”

One of the Tigers rushed to the lead group.

Aaron, the knight of winter, stood at the forefront of them, looked down upon him from his horse made of snow.

“What’s going on?”

“Information has arrived from the shamans who sent out to scout earlier! It is said that the number of humans there is several times greater than us.”

“To what extent?”

“That is…” . It is said that there are approximately 100,000 people.”

At those words, a stir arose among the demons who followed Aaron.

Fully armed, they head to a human castle located south of the forest. Tonight, I was going to attack that place and drive out the humans, but it seemed like it would be a lot harder than I thought.

“If it’s 100,000… Wow…”

“How many are there?”

“There are as many humans as there are trees in this forest.”

“What?! Then what should I do! “There are only a few of us.”

“What are you thinking about? Doesn’t that mean the number of people we can kill increases? Rather, it is normal for the blood to boil!”

“Ugh! Hunting humans!”

“Hey you crazy guys! He was captured by humans and left alive to make his blood boil!”

Anxiety and agitation tend to spread easily. Especially those who are not trained regular troops like the imperial army, but are made up of races with different values.

“Quiet.”

The demons fell silent at Aaron’s low voice. The reason numerous races obeyed him was because of his charisma and superior power. If it weren’t for Aaron, these many tribes would never have moved together.

“But Aaron… Our numbers are too high to attack from the front like this…”

“That’s right. As you can see, there is even a barrier around the castle. “If we do not take measures, the damage may increase.”

As the Tigers were skilled in battle, they knew when to retreat. The reason they are known to be brave in the first place is because they do not fight a fight they cannot win.

Even those who are such seasoned fighters are voicing concerns about Aaron.

But Aaron shook his head.

“Don’t worry.”

He pulled a sword made of ice out of the air.

And he immediately plunged the sword into the snow-covered ground.

“Because numbers are meaningless in front of me.”

“Yes?”

As soon as Aaron’s mysterious words were finished, Aaron’s sword melted and disappeared into his eyes. The various races just stare blankly at the futility.

“?!”

“W-what?! Earthquake?!”

But soon a faint rumbling occurred.

The snowy ground began to wriggle as if it were alive.

No, not as if she was alive, but really alive.

The moment they saw the human figures starting to rise one by one from the snow, they could not help but be astonished.

“S-skeleton… ?!”

Skeletons armed with ice shields, ice swords, ice spears, ice bows, etc. They were skeletons, monsters made of snow and ice that Aaron usually carried around.

However, that was not the only reason why the demons were astonished. The skeletons that were constantly being created soon grew to such an enormous number that they filled the snowy field.

The appearance was truly like a huge snowstorm.

-Gooo.

Soldiers of death roared everywhere.

Aaron filled the Forest of Demons with tens of thousands of skeleton armies.

“Listen. “Soldiers of winter.”

Aaron pulled his sword out of the air and pointed it straight ahead. The place where the tip of his sword is pointed is Roelgrin Castle, a fortress built by humans a long time ago to block monsters.

I ordered towards the traces of that hateful human being.

“Wipe it away.”
