Gulp, gulp, gulp.
『Wa. . . creak. . . gasp. . . .』
The 2nd Realm Demon King slowly twisted and contorted as if air was being released from a balloon.
His bones and flesh protruded as if someone had sucked the fluids from his body, and his vitality waned.
He staggered, looking up at the shadow of Bablehner spearing through his body.
He had never expected the 4th Realm to possess such power.
Who would have thought that he, one of the four Demon Kings who supported the Demon World, would fall so meaninglessly?
『Ba, Bable. . . 4, 4th Realm. . . .』
The 2nd Realm Demon King raised his hand with his bones jutting out.
His barely extended index finger pointed to Bablehner.
Even under the shadow of approaching death, a new flame of resentment burned in the 2nd Realm Demon King’s eyes.
He accumulated hatred without even blinking.
Bablehner did not avoid his gaze.
The dead cannot speak.
No matter what accusations and curses he receives now, the fact that the 2nd Realm Demon King is dying will not change.
Rather, his futile struggle was laughable.
Soon, he would lose consciousness and cease to exist, leaving no trace of his presence in this world. What was the point of glaring at him with resentful eyes?
『Pathetic.』
Bablehner stared at his opponent with a hint of mockery.
This was a scene he had imagined and desired for nearly a decade.
The humans who had humiliated him and left him in ruins had not consoled him, but rather mocked and ridiculed him, even going so far as to sign a peace treaty.
He had sworn to avenge the humiliation he had suffered.
The Demon Kings were rivals who could never coexist.
Once they conquered Earth, they would inevitably turn on each other to become the ‘Final Demon King’ as fate dictated.
However, Bablehner did not wait until then.
『Your time to die has simply come sooner.』
He murmured to the 2nd Realm Demon King, whose consciousness was fading like a candle in the wind.
Thud.
The 2nd Realm Demon King, who had been drained of all his demonic energy, collapsed to the ground and lolled his head.
『Ha. . . .』
Bablehner let out a satisfied sigh as if he had eaten a delicious meal.
“My congratulations, 4th Realm Demon King and my master.”
Kraken approached and knelt on one knee before Bablehner.
There were no other Demon Kings in the Demon World now.
『I thought I would be happy when I killed them all, but it’s not like that.』
“You have truly become the head of the demon race.”
Kraken’s eyes gleamed faintly.
It was like that of a hunting dog waiting for orders.
『What about the ones that were summoned through the ‘Dimension Gate’?』
Bablehner asked, thrusting his shadow into the body of the dead 3rd Realm Demon King.
“I heard that the devils are currently trying to communicate with them.”
『Communicate. Are they strong?』
“According to Mephistopheles. . . their numbers are small, but each one is said to be comparable to an Archdevil.”
『I see.』
Bablehner, who looked like a young boy, nodded with an expressionless face.
It was not a project that he had prepared, but he had left it alone because it seemed like a good plan to conquer Earth.
It was a gamble of sorts, as he did not know what would come out, but he was confident.
No matter what came out, he was confident that he could win with the power of the ‘Ancient Diablo’ in his hands.
“What are your orders?”
『We will go to them. I will negotiate directly.』
Bablehner said, his black eyes gleaming.
🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸
At that moment, the heads of state from all over the world were holding a meeting at the UN.
The presidents, prime ministers, and kings of about 200 countries gathered to discuss the recent demon race incident.
Although the situation had reached a stalemate, no agreement had yet been reached with the demon race.
“I think we need to come to an amicable agreement with the Demon King. Let’s listen to what they have to say for now and try to meet their demands as much as possible.”
“How can you say that so easily when your country wasn’t invaded?! If they demand that we recognize the countries they invaded as their territory, will you do it?”
“Oh, it’s not like there’s any progress anyway. The Hunter’s Association or ‘Misteltein’ haven’t even been able to reclaim the lost territories.”
Someone chimed in at his sullen reply.
“I agree with that opinion. It was a battle we couldn’t win from the start. ‘Misteltein’ is as good as destroyed, and many of the top-ranked High Rankers have died.”
“What nonsense is that? There are still Hunters fighting hard on the front lines!”
One of the heads of state who had been listening snapped back at the other.
“As time goes on, it’s natural for the population to grow. . . . The demon race must have needed more territory. So let’s give them Australia, New Zealand, and Latin America for now.”
“Then give them your country’s land!!”
“Did we get invaded? Then we should have tightened our security. Why are you blaming us for fighting civil wars and getting caught by drug cartels?”
“Wha. . . what?! You were the ones who exported the raw materials for those drugs in the first place!!”
The heads of state raised their voices and hurled insults at each other.
Many people wore weary expressions at this endless and inconclusive battle.
“Stop it, everyone!!”
Finally, voices calling for an end to the fight grew louder, and the voices of those who had been arguing subsided.
“President Bernhardt, what do you think?”
Someone asked a question to Bernhardt, the president of the 〈World Hunter Association〉.
“Hmm. . . .”
However, he did not have a good answer.
“First of all, let’s all calm down and think about the upcoming battles.”
Instead of Bernhardt, who had been silent for a long time, HSIU President Edward answered.
“From what I can see, the demon race doesn’t have the troops toㅡ”
“President Blackwood, what happened to that Hunter who was so eager to fight the demon race?”
Someone interrupted Edward’s words.
“Are you talking about Hunter Min Siwoo?”
“Yes, that Hunter. He talked as if he was going to kill the Demon King right away, but what did he do? He just fell behind.”
Edward felt a sharp pain in his head at his opponent’s hostile question.
“Hunter Min Siwoo is doing his best on the front lines. He’s working with ‘Misteltein’ toㅡ”
“I heard that ‘Misteltein’ couldn’t even handle the Demon King’s subordinates.”
“Heh heh. They can’t even kill the minions? The title ‘Misteltein’ is a waste.”
“Is that all? I heard that Min Siwoo’s order was attacked, but he showed up late and then disappeared without a word. As if he was in cahoots with the attackers.”
“According to my sources, Hunter Min Siwoo is also in cahoots with a criminal group called IZIZ.”
Edward bit his lip at the torrent of accusations coming from all sides.
These were not easy things to explain one by one.
It was easy to raise questions, but to refute those questions, he had to provide much more information and make a statement.
In particular, their accusations were cleverly mixed with facts and falsehoods, so he would need verified facts.
━’𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘳. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘚𝘪𝘸𝘰𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴. . . . 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘰𝘧𝘧.’━
Edward hardened his expression as he glanced at them.
Those who were now denouncing and insulting Siwoo and ‘Misteltein’ were members of the ‘Bilderberg Club’.
They were powerful people who had pledged allegiance to the 4th Realm Demon King Bablehner in exchange for their lives.
“Hunter Min Siwoo is fighting the enemy on the front lines right now! He is not someone who deserves to be slandered like this!”
At that moment, President Enrique of Mexico actively raised his voice and confronted them.
Mexico was a country that owed a great debt to Min Siwoo.
Thanks to him, the drug cartels had been wiped out, and Mexico had been able to enjoy an unprecedented period of peace.
“Oh, so instead of just talking about fighting, why don’t you show us some results? Then we can decide whether to make a peace treaty or go to war properly.”
“President Enrique. What if those who claim to be fighting on the front lines are working with the demon race and opening up a path for them?”
“Wha, what?! Are you saying that ‘Misteltein’ and the world’s number one Hunter have betrayed us?!”
“We, well, that’s what we’re saying.”
The strategy of the ‘Bilderberg Club’ members was nothing more than this.
To lower the credibility of Hunters, including Min Siwoo and ‘Misteltein’.
In normal circumstances, this would be a ridiculous plan, but right now, everyone was on edge and panicking, so it was a perfectly viable strategy.
Furthermore, if more than a dozen heads of state raised questions, there were bound to be those who would agree.
“Can we really trust ‘Misteltein’ or HSIU Hunters?”
“What do you mean?”
“President Edward. . . Don’t glare at me like that and think about it. Where has 〈Pandemonium〉 appeared the most so far?”
“. . . . . . .”
Edward clenched his fists.
“Even though they are the guardians of humanity, three traitors have already emerged from ‘Misteltein’. Cargill Juan and other agents have also emerged from HSIU in large numbers. What about the Hunter’s Association? As you can see from the ranking battles, it is full of those who have attached themselves to the demon race.”
“But didn’t Hunter Min Siwoo catch and punish those traitors?”
Edward replied to his opponent as calmly as possible.
He felt like he would burst into a fit of rage and scream at the top of his lungs if anyone touched him now.
“Haha. President Edward, could that itself be a plan of the demon race? To hand over the pyramid and keep the big fish.”
“You have a great imagination.”
“Isn’t that actually the case with someone like Merlin? Who would have thought that he would be a traitor?”
The expressions of the representatives of each country who were listening to the story gradually changed.
It was too much bad luck in the past few months to simply say that the possibility was 0%.
It was natural to have such thoughts.
“What do you think, everyone? Can we trust the ‘Misteltein’ and HSIU Hunters 100%? I don’t trust them. This time, it won’t end with a simple mistake. A country could disappear.”
“I agree with that opinion.”
“How can we trust an organization that has had traitors from 〈Pandemonium〉?”
The ‘Bilderberg Club’ members agreed with the opinion one after another.
If they could make people distrust them in this way and make them withdraw from the front lines, the operation would be a success.
Especially Min Siwoo, no matter what means they used.
In an instant, the UN conference hall changed its opinion and began a meeting to discuss countermeasures, assuming that the Hunters would be ‘traitors’.
━’𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯’𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘥!’━
Edward fidgeted with his cell phone and snapped at Siwoo, who was not responding.
🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸
Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga!!!
Soldiers were swept away with each swing of the sword.
“S-Stop him!”
The kingdom’s knight commander urged the hapless soldiers with a pale face.
At first, he had thought that the captain of the capital guard was talking nonsense.
How could it be possible for a single knight to break through the castle’s defenses and charge into the royal palace?
The knight commander had intended to punish the captain of the guard as soon as this matter was over.
He had even considered demoting him to a distant border or punishing him under military law, depending on the extent of the damage.
━’𝘈𝘴 𝘐 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵, 𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘨𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘥𝘶𝘵𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘴.’━
However, the captain of the guard’s words were not false.
“W-What are you doing against a single man!”
A single knight clad in black armor slaughtered hundreds of the kingdom’s knights and attempted to enter the royal palace.
“Ch, Chief!! We’re not enough!”
“This crazy bastardㅡ!”
Kugugugugaga!!!!
At that moment, the knight in black armor spread out his hands, and the entire castle wall exploded.
“Ah. . . Y-Your Majesty, evacuate. . . quickly!”
