Chapter 49 – The Modern Demon King. Makes Contact with The Demon God.
In the throne room in the depths of the Demon King’s Castle, the Demon King received a report.
When it was announced that Urgan, the First of the Four Heavenly Kings, had perished, the throne room was in an uproar.
“…… Hoh. so it was Urugan, huh.”
However, the Demon King herself does not lose her expression. She mumbled without surprise.
In addition to the Demon King, the Four Heavenly Kings other than Urgan were also present in the throne room.
“You mean to say he incarnated the Demon God’s Spirit into a mortal? How long had that Urgan been doing such a thing?”
One of the Four Heavenly Kings muttered bitterly.
“I suppose we should assume that Urgan had intended to rebel against Her Majesty.”
“What do you mean? Forgetting the favor that Her Majesty has bestowed upon him. Unforgivable!”
The Four Heavenly Kings, who display fury before the Demon King, have their true thoughts unknown.
In the Demon Continent, subjugation is the basic logic.
The Demon King said to the Four Heavenly Kings without changing her expression.
“I was aware that Urgan was doing something in conjunction with the Demon God.”
“You knew about it? Then why……?”
Why wasn’t he purged? Everyone looks at the Demon King in wonder.
“It seemed interesting, so I left him to his own devices. You are also welcome to rebel at any time.”
Hearing the Demon King’s words, the Four Heavenly Kings turned pale.
They were all preparing for some kind of rebellion. However, they didn’t go on the offensive.
This is because it is unlikely that they will be able to defeat the Demon King Irmgard at all.
Therefore, the Four Heavenly Kings began to implore their loyalty.
“Out of the question. I have sworn absolute loyalty to Your Majesty.”
“Yes, me as well. I am your true loyal vassal.”
Hearing this, the Demon King sighed.
“Why, such a bore. To think that Urgan would use his preparations on the human instead of on us.”
He was so backed into a corner that he had to play his trump card.
And despite playing the trump card, Urgan died.
How strong is Hyrum? At this thought, the Demon King felt her heart flutter.
However, the Four Heavenly Kings didn’t seem to share the same sentiment.
“It is a disgrace for the Four Heavenly Kings to be defeated by a human. After all, he was just a secretary.”
“Indeed, indeed.”
Irmgard said to the Four Heavenly Kings.
“I see. That’s reassuring. Now then, you guys, go take Hyrum’s head.”
“Huh?”
“Huh? That can’t be right. Surely you don’t mean to say that you find that human terrifying, do you?”
“That is absolutely absurd.”
“Then go on, quickly.”
After the Four Heavenly Kings ran off, the Demon King walked out of the throne room onto the balcony.
From there, she looked up at the moon floating in the night sky.
“It’s a shame that you couldn’t defeat my nemesis, Hyrum…… God of Demons.”
Although Hyrum is a human, he seems to have slaughtered Urgan and the spirit of the Demon God.
As expected, the reincarnation of the Most Powerful Demon King in History is not just for show.
(……Lord Hyrum may be stronger than I am.)
The Demon King has also grown stronger over the course of 500 years. But even that might not have been enough to reach Hyrum.
At that moment, a golden haze appeared in the corner of the Demon King’s vision.
It was the Spirit of the Demon God that Hyrum had defeated. It’s remnant anyway.
『…… O King of the Demon Tribes. Demon King Irmgard.』
“What business do you have here, remnant of the Demon God’s spirit?”
『I give you a divine decree. Accept it with reverence.』
“I refuse.”
No matter how great a god he is, the Demon God can’t do anything but hide somewhere in retreat.
There was nothing to be gained by accepting the divine decree of such a Demon God. So the Demon King refused.
As if understanding this, the remnant of the Demon God’s spirit spoke to the Demon King.
『Listen well, Demon King Irmgard. I will grant you a portion of the Demon God’s power.』
“Hoh.”
A Hero, endowed with a portion of the power of the Holy God, is an extremely powerful being.
The Demon King, who is already powerful, will become overwhelmingly strong if she is given even more power by a God.
She would probably even surpass Demon King Hyrum, who was touted as the Most Powerful in History.
『With this power, you must kill Hyrum. I will issue no other command to you.』
“Such an interesting thing to say. But do you think I would want that?”
When the Demon King said this, the remnant of the Demon God glowed brightly and then flickered out.
And the remnant of the Demon God Spirit flew toward the Demon King.
☆☆☆
I started a new work.
“The Reincarnated Little Girl Is Loved by The Spirits She Saved in Her Previous Life.”
It is a story about a cute little girl who struggles leisurely with fluffy creatures and spirits.
Please enjoy it.
TL’s Note
And so ends the Web Novel…..
No, seriously, this was the last chapter…
The story continues in the 2nd Volume of the Light Novel, but I think I’ll just stop here. For one, there doesn’t seem to be much interest in this. Also, translating from Light Novel scans is such a hassle. I don’t mind the occasional bonus chapter, but the whole book? Unless I find a non-DRM copy, I would rather not. Anyway, here’s a collection of Illustrations from the 1st volume of the Light Novel.
Anyway, with this story (kinda) done, what to translate next? Haven’t decided yet, but hopefully, it’ll be an interesting one.
See you all for that, probably…
