Chapter 20: Save The World With The Demon King? (2)

[So let’s talk again… Han Yooseong. Since you left the party, Goddess Clara has been very satisfied. Now the story will go the way she wants.]

-Yes. It should have been like this. From the beginning… Hehe!

Clara let out a sigh as she watched Yooseong staggering through the forest with his blinded eyes. Han Yooseong, who had an ordinary appearance and no special magical talents, but who had been attached to her like a leech due to his experience surviving the chaos, left just as she had planned.

-Okay. Then, shall we take our time and enjoy my ‘story’?

As soon as Han Yooseong disappeared, Clara canceled the image magic that had been projecting Han Yooseong’s appearance.

[As soon as Han Yooseong left the party, she took her eyes off him. That was Goddess Clara’s critical mistake. The goddess had no idea.]

[She wondered if something would happen if a worthless supporter from the warrior party left.]

“But… you caught me, right? Yooseong?”

The Demon King nodded at SeYeon’s words while resting his chin on his hand and continued speaking.

The Goddess probably drew a picture of herself descending when the warrior party was in danger at the moment of their final battle, granting them miraculous powers and winning.

[In the end… boom! That was the end.]

The Demon King tapped the punctured area and made a sound, then playfully added, “To be honest, you said you pretended to be dead back then, but I really thought you were dead.”

“After that… what happened to the Goddess?”

When Yooseong asked with an emotionless look in his eyes, the Demon King turned his head towards Yooseong.

The Goddess… Clara… felt a tremendous sense of emptiness when the large-scale project and story that she had prepared for a long time and with an enormous amount of power ended in a direction she didn’t want.

-Aaaah!! No! This isn’t the ending to the story I had in mind!!

Clara, who had been self-centered from the beginning and would turn everything upside down if things didn’t go her way, was shocked when she saw Yooseong defeat the final boss, the Demon King. It was the moment when the build-up she had worked so hard for collapsed in an instant.

Don’t leave me alone! Han Yooseong!!!

After that, she got angry and tried to kill Han Yooseong who ruined the story by exercising her power herself.

-Aaaah-! Why on earth did you put this kind of ban on him?!

She couldn’t harm Yooseong because of the ban that she couldn’t even lift herself. All she could do right away was say to Yooseong that she was “disillusioned, persistent, and tired of it.” After that, she tried to kill Yooseong several times by using the surrounding environment and people, but by that time, Yooseong’s equipment had become so powerful that there was no one on the continent who could match him.

Ah… this boring world… I’d rather just sell it!

In the end, the goddess who gave up on killing Yooseong came to that conclusion because of the weariness she had felt from running the world and the anger from failing at something big. The goddess who returned to her own space began to look for a way to dispose of her world and eventually found it.

It was the option of putting her world up for auction by the alien gods.

“The alien gods’ auction house…?”

Yooseong asked, frowning at the term he had never heard before.

There are numerous lower, middle, and upper gods in the alien world, and they operate various convenience facilities. The alien gods’ auction house is one of them. It is a place where rare items that exist in the dimension… worlds, existences, concepts, etc., are sold for the gods’ currency.

It was hard to believe. If it hadn’t been for the incident where the giants appeared, Yooseong would never have believed the Demon King’s words.

“She put this… world up for auction? Goddess Clara?”

[Yes. Even now, bidders are appearing in real-time and trading the price of this world. The highest bidder is currently a giant from the giant world, so the confirmed purchase is getting close.]

When it got to that part…

“Wha… what! There’s such a crazy witch!?”

SeYeon, who had been keeping her mouth shut with an uncomfortable expression, finally let out a curse.

Even Elena, who had been advising her to keep her dignity until just a moment ago, didn’t stop her.

It meant that the story about the ‘goddess’ that came out of the Demon King’s mouth just now was that shocking.

The Griffin Kingdom is not a religious nation, but it has a very close relationship with the Goddess Cult.

Most of the citizens, nobles, and royalty believe in the Goddess Cult.

However, the story of the Goddess that came out of the Demon King’s mouth was not the benevolent mother god that the Goddess Cult spoke of, who loved all creatures on the continent.

She was a selfish, self-centered, trashy goddess like a teenage girl.

Even the fact that the Demon King led the monsters and attacked the continent was all part of the Goddess’s plan… made him feel an incredible sense of deprivation towards the Goddess.

Could it be that the Demon King was plotting to frame the Goddess as an evil spirit while taking advantage of the confusion?

That’s what he had in mind.

But… other than the Demon King’s story, I haven’t found any other causes for what’s happening now.

Although Yoosung couldn’t completely trust the Demon King, he guessed that some of it was true.

“Well… if it’s up for auction, then… we can’t live there? This world.”

It’s impossible, warrior.

If the seller is already registered in the auction house… the representative of that world is the seller, so all authority goes to the seller… the Goddess Clara.

The residents of that world have no rights.

The Demon King shook his head and answered SeYeon’s question in his characteristic, metal-scraping voice.

“Demon King, if I just listen to your story, there doesn’t seem to be any answer.

The goddess… that woman is already designated as the seller, so we, the residents, can’t do anything, right?

So what help do you need and what do you want us to do?”

Yoosung asked.

[The giants must have appeared a while ago.

And they must have disappeared in a day, right?]

The Demon King suddenly brought up the story of the giants.

[They are the giant residents who were the highest bidders to purchase this world.

Since they are the highest bidders, they have reached the purchase confirmation stage and are not yet complete buyers… but they will be buyers soon.

They were given the opportunity to view our world for 24 hours as a chance to check the products in advance.]

“I caught one of them.”

I was a bit surprised when I saw that.

As expected of someone who caught the Demon King!]

When he caught the Demon King, he felt strange when he was recognized by the Demon King himself, even though he had not been recognized by everyone except SeYeon.

[Anyway, after a day, all the giants who had appeared in this world returned.

The problem is that once the purchase is confirmed and they become buyers of the world, they will return.

And when they come back, since it’s not an experience, there’s no limit to the number!

Leading their army!]

The Demon King shouted while spreading his arms and raised one finger.

Everyone could see it.

[Exactly one year later.]

“One year later.. ha.”

King SeYeon’s face darkened.

Right now, he was barely able to hold out against the purple poison giant Loki, whom he had just fought off with Sylvia, and he was no match for them.

But what would happen if they brought their ‘army’ down?.. Destruction.

It wasn’t that hard to think of such a word.

“Is there a way?”

[I can’t guarantee success, but I have a countermeasure.]

“When Yoosung sent him a silent gaze, the Demon King cleared his throat as if his throat was burning, ‘crackling, and opened his mouth again.

[Just like the goddess used the warrior summoning circle to summon the warrior!

I can activate a similar magic circle!]

“I can use the magic circle that summoned us!?”

Bam-!

Yoosung, who had not responded much until now, jumped up and shouted.

The pupil above his widened white eyes was trembling slightly.

Before creating the dimensional transfer gate, he had been looking for the warrior summoning magic circle.

He first went to the temple of the goddess cult and semi-forcibly gathered everything about the summoning circle, but he gave up after finding out that there was only the altar form and that only the goddess could use the most important core magic circle.

“Tell me!

Demon King!

Do you know how to use that magic circle or the spell!

But now the Demon King was talking as if he could use that magic circle.

‘If I can use the warrior magic circle, I can also dimensionally move.

In fact, the crisis that had befallen this world was not of interest to Yoosung.

However, if it was related to dimensionally moving back home, it was a different story.

[The magic circle I use is missing the dimensionally moving part.]

“Ha.”

When the Demon King, who had already guessed Yoosung’s intentions, gave his answer, Yoosung sat back down with a dejected expression.

“Wait!

Then how do I summon the hero?

If dimensional transfer doesn’t work… the hero can’t come?”

SeYeon asked back with a look of incomprehension at the Demon King’s answer.

[The hero summoning circle that I’m using isn’t exactly a summoning circle, but a warrior occupation granting circle.]

[It is a magic circle that grants the “Hero” profession to 5 people in this world, rather than bringing heroes from another world.]

The benefit of the ‘Warrior’ job is rapid growth.

In the past, SeYeon went from being a regular high school student to having the strength of the kingdom’s strongest in just one month.

SeYeon’s talent was talent, but the benefits of the warrior job had a huge impact.

Being able to become stronger quickly.

If you belong to a magic, martial arts, or any other combat job, it can’t help but be attractive.

“…”

“Warrior job… I’ve given it to you…”

As soon as it was said that the Demon King could grant the warrior profession, Karen and Sylvia, who had been focused on Yoosung, turned their gazes to the Demon King for the first time.

“Right.

Even if dimensional transport isn’t possible… if it’s a similar type of magic circle, we might get some clues.”

Of course, Yoosung was thinking of dissecting the Demon King’s warrior profession granting circle, not the warrior profession, in order to get one step closer to dimensional transport.

“Ah, I understand!

So Demon King….sir?

Anyway, let’s grant five warrior professions to the strong people of the continent.

Let’s become stronger and defeat the invading giants, isn’t that what you’re saying?”

[Half right.

The warrior of the goddess.]

“Half right?”

[With the power of the goddess, I could grant the ‘warrior’ profession to an already strong opponent.

But I’m not a goddess, and my strength is far inferior to that.

I can’t even form a magic circle by myself.

Retrieving the divine power that the goddess had scattered across the continent.

So, I need the help of the saint or many priests to create a magic circle…

But why can’t I see the saint?]

While talking, he looked around and asked the Demon King.

“Um…

There’s something to it.”

SeYeon took the lead and told the Demon King about the saint summoning the Demon King Baal and escaping.

[Oh my.]

The Demon King hit his helmet with his hand as if hitting his forehead.

[Then I guess I should go find the saint first.]

As he said that, the Demon King nodded his head as if sighing.

Everyone looked confused as to whether or not they should believe the story so far, seeing the light-hearted appearance that was completely different from the Demon King who was the terror of the continent in their memories.

“But there’s one thing I want to mention.

Demon King”

[What?

Han Yooseong.]

Yooseong, who had been quiet since the warrior summoning magic circle, opened his mouth.

“What on earth are you that you know all that?

It’s like you’ve been watching the goddess from the side.”

[…]

Everyone’s eyes turned to the Demon King at Yooseong’s question.

Up until now, the topic of the story was so provocative that I hadn’t been paying attention, but the Demon King knew too much.

Especially when it came to the Goddess, her actions, feelings, and actions were explained in such detail.

It was impossible to explain unless she was right next to me.

“If you simply say that the Goddess gave the role of the Demon King to an actor, then that’s hard to believe.

If you can’t give me another reason… I can’t trust what you’ve said so far.”

As Yoosung took out a cube from his pocket and held it in his hand, the Demon King suddenly fell silent…

Whew.

He began to bring both hands up to his head.

“…”

The opponent is the Demon King!

When all the warrior party members tensed up and tried to respond to that small action.

Click…

The Demon King grabbed his helmet with his hand and took it off.

Swish..

His long, golden hair, like silk, flowed down from his helmet.

“Hoo.”

Instead of the voice that had been scraping metal just a moment ago, a clear, sweet voice leaked out from his pink lips.

“I didn’t want to show you this side of me… but then, just like Han Yooseong said, you won’t believe anything I say from now on.”

Sapphire blue eyes and golden-ratio eyes, nose, and mouth.

A divine appearance that goes beyond beauty to awe.

There is only one being with this face.

“…a goddess?”

“The Demon King… a goddess?

What the heck!

What are you trying to do?!”

Yooseong and SeYeon, who had faced the goddess in the white space, thought of a ‘goddess’ when they saw the Demon King’s appearance.

“I am not a goddess.”

The Demon King tried to speak calmly again with a slightly frightened expression.

“It’s exactly the same face as the one I saw back then.

It was a face that he always thought about before going to bed because it was such a hateful being and he never forgot it even once.

They couldn’t believe the Demon King’s words that she wasn’t a goddess because her face was so identical, beyond twins and with a radiance.”
