The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

313 – Scene 313# Meeting

*

Since I became Tristan and was trapped in this world, I have experienced hundreds of failures.

It was like something. No matter what you do, this world… Because I couldn’t save this world, which could possibly be Sora itself.

As I continued to fail, my mind and body became devastated and exhausted. I gradually forgot who I was and eventually became the real Tristan and went on a rampage.

I mercilessly eliminated those who interfered with me. Even if it was my family or the emperor of this country, it didn’t matter. He simply gave in to his ‘anger’ and ruled over this world like a tyrant.

I believe that the evil deeds I have committed are ultimately for the good of this world.

I firmly believe that it is the only way and the best.

However, the result of ‘anger’ was a miserable failure. The future of ‘anger’ was only destruction. As befits the personality of the Seven Deadly Sins, it led me to destruction.

However, that will not happen in this episode.

Previously, I had focused on eliminating those who were hostile to me, but this time I attracted them to my side. One by one, yesterday’s enemies were persuaded to join me today.

And the demons that humans were to were hostile no exception. If you think about it, they are victims who died after being treated as mobs by players before humans. In the end, we have the same enemy.

It is a very obvious fact that if the demons form an alliance with the humans, it will be of great help to my strategy.

It is time to pursue cooperation rather than division. For that, I became the devil.

“The introduction is late. “I am Bella Isaachel of Duke Isaachel.”

“Hmm! This body is Leon Feyrigris, commanding the imperial army!”

“This is Baron Patrick Wolfbert.”

“I am Ariel Richet.”

“… “My name is Laura Elsink.”

The nobles of the seven provinces introduced themselves and took turns sitting at the round table. And the person who sat last…

“Tristan…”

It was Blanche, wearing the shell of Tristan, who just blurted out those words and sat down.

Since I had to play the role of Trinity in this meeting, there was no one else who could take on the role of Tristan but the calm Blanche.

She did her job her well when I gave her her my role her the other day, so she was going to do the same this time …

-Count. That…

-What is it?

-The reward you gave me last time… Are you doing it again this time?

The reward I gave her last time must have been stroking her head

Considering Blanche’s dedication to helping without any other work, there’s nothing she wouldn’t do for him. However, I am concerned that the compensation may be too shabby compared to her hardships.

-I can do that if you want. But will that be enough? It’s okay if you ask for more.

-Yes?! More, more?!

-Yes.

-If it’s an extra reward, it’s a reward… ?

-… ? Are you asking me that?

-Ugh?! I’m sorry… I’m very much like that… ? Out of ignorance…

-Like that?

-It’s nothing! Ha, I will take a closer look and think about it!

This is what happened this morning.

I thought he was anxious for some reason, but maybe he was so nervous that he seemed brusque. I sincerely advised him to be as quiet as possible, but that actually turned out to be poisonous.

To others, it probably seemed like Tristan was showing an unpleasant attitude towards Trinity.

“Hmm… As you may already know, this person is Count Tristan Ruelberta, the commander-in-chief of our army. He also arranged this meeting.”

As expected, it was Bella who took action. Since she wants to secure her alliance through this position, she does not want to be seen as inferior to Trinity.

Bella gently nudged Tristan next to her with her elbow… So she noticed Blanchet. She was trying hard to pretend that she was not intimidated, but her expression was already not good after hearing her master’s attention to her.

‘This is a big deal…’

No matter how important peace in this world is, it is unfortunate that Tristan’s character falls apart.

I’m already worried about whether Blanchet will be able to do this well… It didn’t work out that way. That’s because I found the person standing right behind her.

“… Flaw… Sigh… !”

Helga makes eye contact with me, and the corner of her mouth her twitches as if she’s trying to hold back her laughter.

On the good side, she is wagging her tail like a puppy that recognizes her owner. On the bad side, she is oblivious.

That’s why I’m more worried about Helga than Blanche.

In fact, I was anxious when I told Helga that I had become the Demon Lord and told her to keep her secret.

-The Count is also Chaam. Am I that untrustworthy?

Honestly, it was like that.

-Hehe. I will absolutely keep it confidential! Huh? Count. Why are you making such an untrustworthy expression? Yes?

Is it because there are so many situations where people curse with just facial expressions? Now, it’s gotten to the point where even ‘patience’ can’t hide it.

-Do not worry. Don’t you know that I am the loudest woman among the Count’s entourage?

Helga patted her chest and smugly said, “I have no idea.”

Even more so when I see that her mouth, which is so heavy, is trembling as if it will open when the wind blows.

Her mouth looked itchy as if she wanted to boast that I had become the devil.

‘Come to think of it…’

Helga wasn’t surprised when she heard that I had become the Demon Lord. It was as if she had expected it to happen.

Now that I remember all the past, I think she might have wanted me to become the devil.

If you think about it, Helga is a character with similar scars to Tristan. She was indelibly wounded by the strife in her family and the stifling atmosphere of the Ulfbert family, which had been obsessed with power for generations.

She hated and hated the people who had hurt her and this world.

The reason she took the lead in my evil deeds in the last episode was because of her loyalty to me, but her desire for revenge she also probably played a role.

Helga has improved a lot thanks to the taming I’ve done in this episode, but Helga was originally a character who showed an infinitely cruel side to people other than me.

Her now blind eyes and the scars all over her body she is gone, but the scars in her heart her her will still remain. And those scars may still harbor hatred toward this world.

Even if I become the devil and plunge this world into the abyss of ‘despair’, she will actively support me.

But I can’t do that.

Because now I know ‘hope’.

“…”

Next to the horse that Bella was riding, I saw a girl sticking her head out of her. Wendy looks at me anxiously with a nervous look on her face.

He looked very cute, but it was obvious that he was too self-conscious.

The fact that so many people knew that I was Tristan and the Demon King was more troublesome than I thought. There are more than one thing I have to worry about, whether my identity will be revealed.

Now that things have come to this, it is best to conclude the talks as quickly as possible.

I opened my mouth as if nothing had happened.

“… I roughly heard the story. “I am willing to form an alliance as long as they agree to my conditions.”

“Conditions?”

“Don’t cross the forest of demons.”

The Forest of Magic is a place with a high concentration of magical power, like a paradise managed by the Izakhel family. As plants and animals influenced by magic grew over a long period of time, a unique ecosystem was created in the Magic Forest, different from ordinary forests.

In particular, there was no better place in the empire than the Magic Forest to obtain wood or minerals imbued with magic used to make magic tools.

That is why successive emperors tried to somehow incorporate the barren northern region, Northern Garden, into the imperial territory.

However, before being a treasure trove of resources, the Demon Forest is an indispensable home for the Demons.

“I know you are targeting the resources in the forest. But the forest is definitely the land of us demons. We cannot allow humans to step in as they please.”

“I understand.”

“Of course, we are willing to sell our resources if you buy them at a reasonable price.”

“I wouldn’t want money, for example… ” ?”

“I’ll exchange it for things like food and daily necessities that are hard to find in the North. Those who come for the purpose of such exchange will be given special access to the forest.”

“Aha…”

After learning the truth about the ‘Autumn Tragedy’, I conducted my own investigation. From what I heard from the chieftain of the Toin people, it seems that bartering took place between the residents of the castle and the Mines when Kyle was the Margrave. Kyle chose exchange and cooperation with Mine rather than hostility.

“Did you say Trinity?”

When she suddenly turned her head at the sound of a thin female voice, there was a girl who looked younger than Wendy,

“I understand that you are the representative of the demons. But that doesn’t mean you own this entire large forest, right? “You have to be a demon lord to be able to decide things like going in and out of the forest.”

“That’s right.”

“Huh?”

“He’s the devil.”

For a moment, there was silence.

Maybe I answered too calmly.

Even Bella had a skeptical reaction.

“If that’s true…”

“Puhaha! “This girl is funnier than I thought!”

“For a moment… “Laura!”

Despite Bella’s dissuasion, Laura burst into laughter.

“Devil? Puheap. Does it seem like a demon lord could become something like that overnight? Even a child can tell that the devil is a devil. “If you were the real devil, we wouldn’t even be sitting here.”＜ Br＞

Like Laura, who sees everything with suspicion, she presented her suspicions quite aggressively. However, the suspicion was justified.

The devil, who is said to be the pinnacle of evil, is literally a being of a different ‘class’. History speaks for itself. A supreme being that ordinary humans cannot even face.

Not only animals with sensitive senses, but even newborn babies can recognize the existence of the devil and instinctively feel fear.

That’s why I did my best not to show that I was a demon lord. If I instill fear in them from the beginning, I will only end up in trouble. In addition to the ‘patience’ that suppressed ‘anger’, the self-control that had been trained over the years was used to suppress the power of the devil as much as possible. Even if you play it well, it will probably look like a mine.

“Ah… Really?”

“I don’t know, but I know that you shouldn’t call yourself the devil lord. Do you think you can impersonate the devil and get away with it?”

Laura was being sarcastic right in front of her, which made her feel bad, but she didn’t think anything of it. She was rather insignificant and laughable. It may be because her level of existence her her her rose as she became the Demon Lord.

But the problem arose from there.

“Huh? “Laura, you speak as if you have seen the Demon King in person.”

“What? You… ?”

When Laura raised her head, there was a purple-haired woman standing behind Blanche disguised as her Tristan her.

“Aha, excuse me. “My name is Helga Wolfbert.”

“Hey… Wow. What kind of place is this? “Aren’t you quiet?”

Even her brother Patrick was horrified and scolded Helga, but it was of no use.

“Laura. “What are you going to do if that person is the real devil?”

“What?”

“If you’re a real demon lord, wouldn’t you be making a big mistake? Hehe…”

Although Helga was acting slyly, I could tell. That she is quite upset right now.

It was Laura’s fault for saying something provocative to me earlier. It was just ridiculous to me, but that was just what I felt. To Helga, who was highly loyal to me, she must have seemed like the ultimate insult.

However, now I am disguised as Trinity. She had to keep her mouth shut.

“What a crazy b*tch… Oh, no… Count. Doesn’t it seem like the person who is the commander-in-chief can’t properly educate even one of his subordinates? “I’m disappointed.”

“…”

In an unexpected situation, Blanche, disguised as Tristan, was embarrassed and unable to respond.

To make matters worse, Laura’s words fueled Helga’s anger.

“Ahaha. Why would you bring up our count there? Is it because he is lower in rank than our Count? “I see that they are busy biting whenever there is an excuse.”

“Something like an escort knight… ! “Where are you running your mouth so carelessly?”

“Laura! Calm down!”

Just like Helga, Laura was a woman with a unique personality. Bella, who knew that, stood up from her seat and tried to intervene.

Here, Blanche, who played the role of Tristan, had to step in and stop her, but unfortunately, she lacked that level of ability. She just froze in place…

In the end, I had no choice but to step forward.

‘I can’t help it…’

I carefully liberated the devil’s personality, ‘despair’.

“What?!”

Laura felt something strange and took a step back. However, under the influence of’despair’, she immediately fell on her butt.

It’s a process you have to go through at least once anyway.

Regardless of Laura’s sarcasm, I needed to prove to them that I was the devil.

The surrounding air stopped for a moment. A gloomy, windless atmosphere descended.

Dark emotions began to creep up in my heart. It was a completely different emotion from the ‘anger’ I had dealt with so far.

If ‘anger’ was a burning emotion, ‘despair’ neither burned nor boiled.

I just forcibly swallowed up all my emotions and turned them into ‘despair’.

“W-what are you talking about…”

The vitality was disappearing from Laura’s face. She was visibly weakening.

‘Despair’ is an individuality that nullifies all individuality. It literally eats away the unique personality, way of thinking, and tastes of humans.

A person devoured by ‘despair’ is left with only an empty shell. In other words, it was no different from annihilating the soul.

It is too scary a power for one individual to possess. Even though I suppressed my strength as much as possible, ‘despair’ spread through Laura’s body like a deadly poison.

I immediately suppressed ‘despair’.

The ‘despair’ that kept trying to leak out was suppressed with a lid called ‘hope’. It was possible because I had ‘hope’ because I had already been saved by Wendy once.

However, Laura, who was hit directly by ‘despair’, could do nothing. I didn’t even plan on doing this…

“Ugh… !”

At that time, a small shadow sticking out like a flying squirrel rushed towards Laura, who was about to be consumed by ‘despair’.

It was Wendy.

She sensed her danger and came to save Laura.

Wendy suddenly jumped out and rolled on her snow with Laura.

At that moment, I felt it. Wendy’s ‘hope’ saves Laura from the swamp of ‘despair’.

It was like warm sunlight shining through dark clouds.

Laura’s pale face soon regained its vitality.

“Ha…Ha…”

“Well, well… What just…”

“Are you okay… ?”

“Uh? Uh… Maybe… Do…”

“I’m glad…”

“However… You… ?”

“Yes? I, I…”

“Wendy?! Are you okay?!”

Bella found Wendy and hurriedly ran over.

“Yes, yes… I’m fine.”

“I told you to stay calm and stay behind.”

“Hi… I’m sorry… Without even knowing…”

Everyone who felt the feeling of ‘despair’ had already gotten up from the table and taken a few steps back.

Their gaze was different from before.

Their faces all say, really? If? The same suspicions arose. And their suspicions came down to one word.

Demon King.

“Do you believe it now?”

I spoke to them who were very wary.

“Thanks to you defeating Aaron, I was able to become the Demon King relatively easily.”

“I was aiming for that from the beginning… ?”

“I can’t say no.”

The reason I leaked information to them was to make them realize that there are demons who are friendly to humans, but it was also clearly intended to undermine Aaron’s power his. It was true that hegemony of the Magic Forest was easily obtained thanks to them.

“Let me introduce myself again.” I am the third demon lord. Trinity.”

“Hot?! “Don’t be funny!”

Laura came to her senses and jumped up.

“There is no way the devil would appear so suddenly!”

“Laura. Can’t you believe it when you just saw that? If Trinity is the Demon Lord, that would explain why I almost killed you earlier.”

Leon, Patrick, and Ariel seemed to agree with Bella’s words her her her her. In their eyes, I would have looked like a devil who wielded evil magic.

And Tristan, who had kept his mouth shut the whole time… Blanche fucked her tits.

“I saw the previous one well. Since we saw that in front of our eyes, we have no choice but to believe what she said.”

Since the general commander acknowledged it, the opinions of the imperial army were virtually unified.

Except for one person.

“What a futile effort!”

“Laura…”

“I can’t admit that that woman is the devil! As long as dirt doesn’t get in my eyes-“

Sigh!

“Kwaaah!? My eyes! “What’s in my eye!?”

“Mmm! “There was no soil around, so I put some snow in!”

“What?! “Leon!”

“Wahahah! It’s true to its nickname for her, ‘Ice Witch’! “Shedding tears as cold as snow!”

“I’m human too! You idiot! Would my tears be cold? Hey! Stop adding it because it’s cold! “I can’t see it!”

“Why don’t you open your eyes now! Laura! No matter how much you deny it, I don’t think there’s any denying that that woman is the devil!”

“Hey! Please tell me if you can open my eyes! “I can’t see it!”

“Hmm! There’s an old saying like that! “What you see is not everything!”

“I can’t see anything! “You damn b*stard!”

Laura clutches her eyes and screams.

“Hmm…”

Bella said to me, trying to ignore that appearance.

“Then shall we proceed with the meeting again?”
