The Hero Party Couldn’t Kill Me

Chapter 13: Blanc Magic Tower (End)

“… So, you mean the Demon King is resurrected?”

“Edmund said that the demonic sword was fake, but its appearance was that of a demon king. It seems that she is resurrected.”

“And Edmund is still alive?”

“Yes.”

The two sudden shocking news made the princess feel dizzy.

She thought something unusual was on the way, but she didn’t expect two large bombs to go off at once.

But now is the time to make a quick decision. You need to assess the situation as calmly as possible.

“Where did the demon king escape now?”

“We are also trying to contact the Rogue Mage Tower and investigate its own teleportation detector, but we have not been able to locate it.”

“First, set up a barrier around the imperial palace. Summon all the wizards and knights of the imperial family.”

“Isn’t it necessary to activate the Imperial Hideout?”

“… I don’t want to suffer the humiliation of having Solaum stolen by the Demon King again. I will fight to the end here.”

When the previous demon king occupied Solaum, the princess had no choice but to follow her emperor and evacuate. Then she remembered the humiliation she had endured by barely surviving in Roswell.

Even if it meant dying, I didn’t want to repeat what happened then.

“Then would you like to summon Edmund as well?”

“… Edmund?”

But when Edmund’s story came out, the princess hesitated.

Does he have the right to ask him to save her now that he allowed him to sentence her to death?

Aren’t you even unaware of his reappearance yet? What if he harbors a grudge and has already sided with the Demon King? Isn’t he entrusting the fish to the cat?

“… If the demon king attacks, he will call for help at that time.”

“But isn’t it too late? There is no guarantee that he will come right away.”

“Your Highness the Princess. Is it because he was sentenced to death?”

As the royal mages became anxious, Duke Raoul Perry, who was next to the princess, asked.

“If it is true that the demon king is really resurrected, he must join hands with him. If he asks for an apology, it’s time to lay down his ego.”

“… ….”

“I don’t have time. Contact us now…….”

Quaaang!!!

Before Duke Perry finished his words, there was a loud noise outside.

Someone broke down the entrance to the imperial palace and entered. Then came a scream.

“Demon, the Demon King has appeared!”

“… Hurry up and contact Edmund right now!”

As the Duke of Perry begged, only then did the princess take the crystal ball and try to contact Edmund.

But at that moment.

Puuuong!!!

With a second roar, the door of the conference room where the princess was was smashed. At the same time, the princess was pulled toward her door by her mighty power.

“Don’t stop!”

Duke Perry called out urgently, but it was already too late.

Before the royal magicians had time to use their hands, and before her knights had time to grab her, the princess was quickly dragged in front of Leviathan.

Then Leviathan grabbed her princess and disappeared.

***

“I’m sorry…”

The princess sat down on the floor. It happened so suddenly that I couldn’t understand the situation.

She looked up and looked around where she had been kidnapped.

The place where Leviathan dragged her was the bedroom where her emperor was.

There was a doctor and escort knights inside, but Leviathan quickly subdued them.

Seeing that, the princess tried to find her crystal ball and ask for help, but her crystal ball was already shattered and lay in front of her lap.

“Do you think you’ll be all right after doing this?”

The princess rose from her seat and fired at Leviathan. Leviathan looked at the princess in silence.

She was originally a princess who overpowered nobles and knights with her eyes and aura, but she didn’t work for Leviathan.

Rather, she was overwhelmed.

“So what can you do? Are you planning on calling your men?”

Said Leviathan, drawing her magic circle on her floor. Then, a strong barrier was placed in this bedroom.

“And, even if they come, how will they defeat me?”

Only then did the magic sword in Leviathan’s right hand enter the princess’s eyes.

The magical power exuded from the demonic sword was too powerful to be called fake.

The princess had no choice but to admit it.

From noble mtl dot com

She was now facing the Demon King.

Her fear and pressure were felt more strongly than ever before, but the princess tried to maintain her dignified figure as much as she could.

“What do you want? Are you trying to kill me and rule the empire? You don’t deserve it. Who would want to follow the Demon King?”

“Qualifications? Did you say you were qualified?”

When Leviathan heard the princess’s words, he laughed out loud because he was dumbfounded.

“Then you. Are you worthy?”

“I am the eldest daughter of His Majesty the Emperor, and the rightful heir to the throne.”

“What does that mean?”

“… What?”

“What on earth does it mean to be blood relatives of the emperor? Why does that alone give you the right to rule this empire?”

It was a question that no one had dared to ask until now.

The princess was speechless because she asked something so obvious.

“You know what? Originally, in the Latis Empire, the owner of the holy sword was called Nioh, and they reigned as emperors. When there was no holy sword, their son took over the emperor’s seat, but even then, when a new Ninwang appeared, he had to hand over the emperor’s seat.”

Leviathan said to the princess. Up until this point, the princess had also heard the story when she was studying history.

And he even knew that the first emperor of the Latis Empire had changed this system.

“Aren’t you curious? Why was the owner of the holy sword, who was once called Ninwang and ruled over humans, downgraded to a hero? Why did an emperor who had no power after that come to rule this empire as an emperor?”

Leviathan asked.

The princess did not answer, but Leviathan continued her words.

“When the Latis Empire was destroyed by the demon king Titan, I summoned a new alien to stop him. And he was chosen by the Holy Sword. Before fighting the Demon King, he made me an offer. I will defeat the demon lord, so can you change the rules of this world? I was wondering if you could help us create an empire ruled by his descendants, not the owner of the holy sword.”

The princess was taken aback. Only then did she realize the identity of the Demon King.

“… Leviathan.”

“Yes. So I did what he wanted. I studied the authority of the demonic sword and the holy sword, and created contract magic based on that.”

“That… ….”

“And the owner of the holy sword made a contract with the holy sword after defeating the demon king. He said he would give up the power to rule over humans. Instead, I asked them to forcibly carry this contract over to the next generation of Holy Sword owners.”

“… ….”

“Of course, since he already had the achievement of defeating the demon king, he was promoted as the emperor of the new empire without the authority. And he passed on the throne to his son. That’s what it is now.”

After finishing the story, Leviathan let out a mocking laugh.

“He brainwashed others into believing that the emperor himself had the ability to rule this empire. And as if courtesy, he divided the power between the nobility, the Mage Tower, and the Etoiles. Their descendants, too, were only interested in enhancing their own position rather than the safety of the citizens of the Empire. However, the reality of the power they actually have is an illusion. It’s nothing more than a lie created by abusing my contract magic and constantly brainwashing people.”

As soon as Leviathan finished speaking, the emperor rose from his seat. For a moment, the princess thought he had woken up, but soon realized that it was just Leviathan’s telekinesis.

“Can you believe it? Look at this guy right now When the demon king invaded, he called himself Namola and abandoned the capital and fled. Then he was unconscious and bedridden for the past 3 years. What has he done to the Empire in the meantime? Rather, shoplifters living in the slums. The passing dogs would have contributed more to the empire than this man. It’s trash that won’t affect the empire even if it dies right now.”

Leviathan twisted the Emperor’s body with telekinesis and cut off his breath.

The princess was enraged at the heinous act and tried to run at Leviathan. But Leviathan used her telekinesis to knock her to the ground.

“You dare… !”

“However, you honored such a man by calling him Your Majesty the Emperor. Even though there was no hope, he spent a lot of money to keep this man’s life alive. How stupid is this? Do you sincerely believe that this incompetent person has all the power in this empire? Now wake up from the lies they created.”

The princess was furious to the ends of her head, but she couldn’t find words to refute. No, the pressure on her before that was so strong that even her words could not come out properly.

Leviathan took his eyes off the princess before she knew it. Having laid down her emperor’s corpse, she was now looking at the emperor’s coffin.

Pasasa sasasak!!!

The glass protecting the imperial crown shattered in an instant. Leviathan was pulled into his hand by telekinesis.

“You asked. Do I deserve it?”

“… ….”

“I am more qualified than you who are helpless. You have more power than anyone else, you can control demons with a demonic sword, and you have a vision to make this empire a better place to live in. The empire is ruled by people like this. Should be.”

She put her emperor crown on her own head.

The princess watched her with a blank look on her face.

It was miserable.

Since the fall of the emperor, she has been working hard to become the next emperor.

But now she has been denied her own legitimacy as well as all her efforts. It was as if her life had been denied.

I couldn’t accept it. She wanted to fight even if it meant dying.

I had to punish that traitor somehow.

But the problem is… I couldn’t see a way to defeat Leviathan.

Even the Imperial Guard, without Edmund, she couldn’t do anything.

If you look at the bloodline of the imperial family, was the human Marceline originally such a helpless being?

“… And I will make you an example to the new world.”

Leviathan took the ring from the emperor’s corpse and put it on her hand. She said as she put her ringed hand in front of the princess’s face.

A contract spell was cast on her other hand.

“Swear allegiance to me. Then I will save your last pride. It is to uphold contracts with others who have sworn an oath of allegiance to you.”

“That… that… ….”

“Instead, if you disobey me, I will avenge you with death. I will feel the most painful causal pain for a long time, cry out in pain and die.”

As soon as she finished her words, the princess felt a burning pain all over her body. She tried to keep her screams to the end in order to save face as the princess, but eventually, reaching her limit, she kissed the Leviathan’s ring.

Then the pain in her whole body disappeared as if to wash it away. And the seal of the contract appeared in her palm.

The princess tightly closed her eyes. She wished someone would show up and tell her it was all a dream, she thought.

“Stand up. Now the time has come to announce to the Empire that a new era has begun.”

Leviathan forced her to stand up.

That moment.

Quaaa!!!

The barrier shattered with a roar.

And.

“… They are playing.”

The person she was looking for the most.

At the same time, I heard the voice of the person I most didn’t want to appear.

Edmund has come to rescue her princess.
