Chapter 224

[12th Round] Holy Mollan Empire

Ssosia was rendered speechless for a while by my logical explanation. Rubbing her forearms, she finally replied.

But Im not dead.

I just couldnt kill you.

I broke her neck during our kiss, but she was still fine.

A broken back caused her a lot of suffering, but it still didnt kill her.

I have had killed every demon except Ssosia, who was basically a cheat character.

From privates to commanders, I left no one alive.

No demon hadnt been slain by my hands.

How should I say this Although the heroes duties include killing demons, when I hear it from your lips, the objective starts sounding way more malevolent than it actually is.

The demons are afraid of me. A hero who is not feared is not a hero at all. Even you ask me to spare you in bed.

I never asked for anything! And even if I did, theres no need to talk about it, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

Insults from demons are praises for heroes.

No, no. This isnt about demons and heroes. This is about the generally accepted moral principles of relations.h.i.+ps between men and women!

The cowardly demons excuses flew into one ear of the Righteous Hero and flew out of the other.

It was time to get down to business.

So, who is this demon?

The representative of a new generation of demons, which was created by father, intervening in the system.

Huh

I remembered what Trainee Teacher mentioned earlier.

The Demon Lord Pedonar intervened in the system by introducing his unofficial patch. The teaching staff claimed that everything had been fixed, but instead of the usual demons, mutants began to be born.

I dont know about you, but I already feel the difference. These demons are now everywhere, from elementary education to higher education. If earlier their success rate was 95%, now it cant even reach 10%.

Why?

I really didnt understand it.

Are you asking because you actually dont know?

Yes. Otherwise, why would a hero ask anything from a vile demon like you?

Most of the heroes cant meet face to face with our father because of these mutants. Even if they grow strong enough to kill them, our father would already be recuperating, causing the hero to lose against him.

In other words, the stronger the heroes became during his adventures, the more advantageous the final battle became for the Demon Lord.

That was the dilemma.

Are my a.s.sumptions correct?

Yes.

But I still dont understand. Even mutants shouldnt be able to resist the pitiful power of friends.h.i.+p.

The heroes themselves didnt have to become stronger.

They could collect many companions and add them to their squad to deal with the mutants. At that rate, they wouldnt need to get involved in an unequal battle with the Demon Lord.

His job is Brutal a.s.sa.s.sin.

Oh!

I didnt immediately realize that versatile attacks wouldnt work against him because I killed him too quickly.

I checked his stats again.

Race: Exceptional Demon

Level: 999+

Job: Brutal a.s.sa.s.sin (a.s.sa.s.sination = Carnage )

Skills: Dark Energy Z, Tentacles Z, Endurance MAX, Carnage MAX, a.s.sa.s.sination MAX

Status: Death

Due to his job feature, his Carnage skills rank increased depending on his a.s.sa.s.sination skills rank.

It was an amazing job that turned him into a weapon of ma.s.s destruction.

Type: Skill

Name: Carnage

Rank: MAX

Z:?

SSS: XP reduction is canceled.

SS: Deals damage over a huge area.

S: Terrain has no effect.

A: Significant enlargement of the area of effect.

B: Significant increase in damage.

C: Added armor-piercing attribute.

D: Enlargement of the area of effect.

E: Increased damage.

F: Deals area damage.

While the a.s.sa.s.sination skill didnt inflict damage as ma.s.sive as Carnage, which focused on intimidating and eliminating a large number of enemies at once, they still had a similar effect, creating a synergy between them.

If I remembered correctly, among the demons, I hadnt met anyone with such a job yet.

Although third-rate villains like the leaders of mountain bandits or cold-blooded a.s.sa.s.sins could have the Carnage skill, its rank would be too low. The mutants job required both it being high-ranked and more or less high combat capabilities.

Everythings much more understandable now.

All high-ranking demons had terrible jobs.

Basically, all of them had a non-combat type, such as Aristocrat, which increased their status. Ssosia was no exception.

Race: Second Demon

Level: 999+

Job: Queen (Charm Domination )

Skills: Dark Energy ZZ, Life Energy ZZ, Immortality ZZ, Charm ZZ, Fort.i.tude Z

Condition: Magic (Demonic) Sword

It might be conspicuous due to her combat skills, but it was difficult to resist the pitiful power of friends.h.i.+p with her job.

The more the heroes companions supported them, the stronger the Holy Sword A became. The power of friends.h.i.+p could easily overcome even the skill Immortality.

It wasnt known, though, if shed be able to deal with transcendental skills.

And there are many such mutants?

Im not sure. They change from time to time to avoid being detected by the system firewall. Thats why in each dimension, a different number of mutants with different settings appear.

How interesting.

Want to know something even more interesting?

What?

Coming so close to my ear that I could smell the soap on her, Ssosia whispered.

Father has begun to understand the system.

Having entrusted the rest of the minor matters to my subjects, I went elsewhere to speak with her in private.

In such cases, there was nothing better than a bedroom.

***

The Demon Lord couldnt commit suicide.

The Hero was summoned to kill the Demon Lord threatening the existence of the whole world. Hence, it wouldve been very awkward if the main villain killed himself.

Due to that, the system blocked the opportunity.

But I saw the Demon Lord kill himself once by committing hara-kiri.

That was my worst battle with a Demon Lord. He just beat me up, but instead of finis.h.i.+ng me off, he committed suicide, forcing my journey to go downhill.

So this is how he made his way through the system

This world was an educational system based on the unification of the powers of the First Demon and the First Angel.

Although the First Demon was forced to invest in the construction of his own prison, that didnt change the fact that he was one of the main shareholders.

Usually, he couldnt exercise power.

But if the Hero, becoming stronger, crossed a certain line, then the Demon Lords strength would increase so much that he would be able to interfere with the system.

That was the essence of his suicide.

It was the best way to disrupt the system.

Its extremely unpleasant for me, but my father, like the First Hero, appreciates you, Ssosia, absentmindedly opening her eyes and looking at me, said, lying on the wide bed, which used to be owned by the king of the Magic Kingdom.

For some reason, I dont feel happy that the Demon Lord recognizes me.

You are his hope.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Your wifes speaking to you seriously, and you call her words nonsense? Youre a beast!

After that, a fierce battle took place, in which the Fantasy World was, fortunately, not destroyed.

And so 30 minutes pa.s.sed.

Whimper! Youre not a hero at all! Youre just a hero who makes demons cry.

Thanks for the compliment.

Only my father liked the fact that someone like you appeared. Before that, although he knew he could tamper with the system, he failed every time. Simply put, the other heroes were too weak because they relied on the Holy Sword and their companions.

The Demon Lord worked hard.

He didnt spare anything for the sake of the growth of the Hero.

Children, servants, wealth, experience points

Usually, kings and princes who suffered from the Hero would want to take revenge on him personally, but the Demon Lord didnt leave his castle.

At the end of the 1st round, he asked me a question.

What was it again?

He asked if I knew something about the political world of demons

I didnt know about all the circ.u.mstances, so I didnt know what to answer.

A Demon Lord who wanted a hero to grow?

It sounded completely illogical at the time.

But now, when he gave his daughter to me in marriage, I understood why he so desired it.

That was part of the political world of demons.

It was difficult for him to start somewhere, but then everything went smoothly. Because of the chance that you gave him, he intervened in the system and created such conditions that the Hero has no choice but to become stronger. This is why mutant demons came into existence. Now I cant even determine how much my father interfered with the system.

So someday the Demon Lord will be able to escape from this place on his own?

Yes.

Because of me?

Yes. Because of you.

Did the hero just help the Demon Lord break free from his cage?

That was clearly a problem.

I didnt plan for that to happen!

I only grew stronger to single-handedly defeat the Demon Lord. The consequences of that werent my fault!

It was absolutely absurd!

events and prizes have been prepared so that you dont kill him alone

Trainee Teacher, did you know about this?

Denial: No. I already knew of the importance of love and friends.h.i.+p from my school days, but I didnt think they were clever tools that hid the educational systems flaws. Im so surprised that my heart is still beating wildly.

I wanted to check if it really was beating because she was surprised.

My secret friend, would you like to go on a date with me?

Ssosia muttered something under her breath before she could answer, though.

As a token of grat.i.tude, he gave his beloved daughter to such a b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Father cant even be considered a demon at this point! She whimpered.

Dont pretend to cry.

I have feelings too! Im allowed to cry if something upsets me!

At that moment, the First Spirit, who was sitting on my head, intervened.

My niece, forgive me for saying this, but it was you who filled out the prenuptial agreement. The Hero is just a victim.

Aunt, whose side are you on?

Im just telling you the truth But Im also on the side of drugs.

The Holy Mollan Empire united the Northern Continent without its northern part and the Central Continent without its southern part.

Not considering the Western and Southern Continents, where the concept of kingdoms didnt exist yet since only a small population lived there in tribes, then 60% of the Fantasy World was now under my control.

But that was only on the surface.

The Head of the Dark Commerce, who managed the entire commercial sphere, was my wife, and the strongest being in the universe, Master Mollan, was my teacher.

Hence, it was safe to say that I controlled about 99.9% of this world.

The internal situation in the empire?

Mrs. Hippolia! Wait for me!

Well-mannered ladies shouldnt run.

Yes, Mrs. Hippolia!

Due to family ties, our marriage was dissolved, and the nurse, whom the emperor treated like a younger sister, listened to Saintess H as her older sister.

Wasnt she too submissive?

But there was a pair that was their complete opposite.

Chris, youre weak because you dont respect your great father.

I dont want to hear that from a dragon!

Race is not important. What matters is how you think about your father! This is why Im much stronger than you, even though youre his biological son! Im not even in my dragon form right now. The playing field is equal.

Hmm! Again!

Green Cake and Chris fought all day.

The results were always overwhelming victories for Green Cake.

Chris seemed angry because of his defeat, so with the help of the spatial transportation magic circle, he rushed across the Central and Northern Continents and fought monsters.

Knock knock!

The knocking sound came from the door as I stood near the office window, watching Princess Aqua frolicking with the mermaid in the Imperial Gardens pond.

What is it?

Your Majesty, the missing Sage has been found, but The maid hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

Go on.

Forgive me for being rude, but youd better see it in person.

The First Spirit lying on my head began to beat on my forehead with her palm.

Quickly now, Drug Hero!

I would have gone without you urging me to.

I was interested in what had become of Sage, after all.

I, the MAX-Cla.s.s Hero, hastened to see for myself where his little adventure with the mermaids led to.
