I Killed the Demon King. It Was a Mistake. Chapter 75

TL NOTE:

 Changing demons to devils as that separates the demon race from them and makes it easier to read. Some might still remain as it depends on the situation.

I Killed the Demon King. It Was a Mistake. 

Chapter 75

Caesar put the camera film in his inner pocket.

And thought calmly.

To save the demon race, that devil needs to be killed anyway.

Wouldn’t it be better to help when the guards are in the midst of fighting?

After contemplating, Caesar decided to wait quietly.

Devils have such diverse abilities that rushing in to attack could lead to trouble.

It seemed right to first observe the battle to accurately understand that devil’s abilities before making a plan to move.

The guards rushed in with clubs to save Baron Brahe.

Then the devil blinked its third eye on its forehead and collapsed, crumbling its body.

“What is this?”

The guards felt confused when the devil suddenly collapsed.

At that moment, the guard at the very back turned his gun toward his allies.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As bullets flew from behind, the guards hurriedly turned around.

“Wh-What?! Tom, why… Urk!”

While the guards couldn’t properly grasp the situation, Baron Brahe knew exactly what was happening.

“He’s possessed by the devil! Shoot him dead!”

When the guards shot at Tom following Baron Brahe’s words, bullets pierced Tom’s chest.

Then a third eye grew on Tom’s forehead and blinked again.

Blink!

Soon after, a third eye appeared on another guard’s forehead, and he turned his gun to shoot at his allies.

“Aaaaahhhh!”

Unable to distinguish friend from foe, the guards turned their guns on each other.

And in less than a minute, they completely self-destructed.

Caesar watched the scene and fell into thought.

‘It’s a possession-type.’

Among devils, those who can control human minds like that are called possession-type devils.

Such devils are extremely troublesome to face head-on even if they only have two horns.

Because if not careful, even Caesar’s body could be taken over.

The best way to deal with this type is assassination.

The last remaining guard smiled wickedly as he put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The devil possessed its original body again simultaneously with firing the gun at its head.

As the devil got up and dusted itself off, Baron Brahe, despite being terrified, spoke strongly.

“Do-Do you know what you’ve just done?! Among those who want the demon race are nobles from Niflheim. Do you think you can survive after stealing their goods?”

“Well, of course it would be troublesome if it’s discovered that I took them. However…”

The devil grabbed Baron Brahe’s neck again and blinked its third eye.

Blink!

“You will forget everything that just happened.”

“You damn…”

Baron Brahe’s eyes started to become cloudy.

Blink!

“I’ll say it again. You just…”

Thwack!

At that moment, blue lightning struck the devil’s head.

Bang!

Its head exploded instantly, scattering flesh.

“Uh…? Uh.”

Simultaneously, an axe was placed against Baron Brahe’s neck.

“Don’t turn around.”

Baron Brahe gulped.

“Who, who are you?”

“You don’t need to know that.”

Kyaaaaaah!

Loud noises and thumping sounds echoed through the corridor and above.

Looks like Agatha has started.

“The reason I’m letting you live now is because there are others who want to kill you more than I do.”

Caesar struck the back of Baron Brahe’s knees, breaking his knee joints.

“Kuaaaaaaaah!”

Baron Brahe’s scream mixed with the screams of the confused audience in the grand theater.

After searching his body for weapons like guns, Caesar picked up his axe and headed toward the prison.

Then he swung the axe with all his might and destroyed all the prison doors.

And he removed all the chains and stakes binding the demon race.

The freed succubi, incubi, and vampires walked toward Baron Brahe with murderous expressions.

“No, don’t come! Don’t come!”

Since they didn’t have enough strength left to use magic, they each picked up a sharply cut iron bar and walked forward.

“You dared to insult me.”

“You dared to torture me.”

“You dared to spit on me.”

“You dared to violate me.”

The demon race raised their iron bars toward Baron Brahe.

“Take your punishment.”

“Uwaaaaaaaah!”

Dozens of sharp iron bars simultaneously pierced Baron Brahe’s body.

Although they lacked the strength to pierce through Baron Brahe’s solid fat and flesh in one go, they were rather grateful for this.

Because every time they heard Baron Brahe screaming and suffering like a pig, their unquenchable thirst and hunger was satisfied.

While they were drunk on revenge, Caesar looked up at the ceiling.

“Something doesn’t seem right.”

The fighting was too intense to be just regular audience members, as if the ceiling might collapse.

Even though this was the beast training room and was built very solidly, cement dust was falling profusely and the pipes hanging from the ceiling started creaking.

At that moment, men entered through the corridor.

Caesar was about to throw his axe but stopped.

It was Borden and his bloodline.

“Everyone evacuate. The situation isn’t good.”

“What’s happening?”

Even the demon race members who were stabbing iron bars into Baron Brahe’s body all stopped.

“It seems devils were hiding in the audience seats. They’ve also fallen under the succubus’ magic and started rioting.”

As expected, there were devils in the audience seats.

In that case, we need to escape quickly.

Just then, a black pigeon appeared above Caesar’s shoulder.

The black pigeon started lightly pecking Caesar’s shoulder.

It was a signal to escape immediately.

“That’s enough now, everyone get out.”

Borden and the vampires started leaving while supporting their comrades.

Caesar came out last and headed toward the evacuation route.

At that moment, people came running from far away.

“Th-That’s the evacuation route!”

“Hurry!”

The problem was that something like living black smoke was following behind the people.

‘Is that…?’

When the people came in contact with the black smoke, they quickly decayed until only bones remained before collapsing.

“Save meeeee!”

After even the last remaining person died, the black smoke looked around searching for living creatures.

It felt like watching a snail looking around with its antennae.

The black smoke quickly spotted Caesar and the fleeing demon race.

-Hungry…

Caesar clicked his tongue.

“So there was a Devouring Cloud here.”

This devil is quite famous in the Valent saga game.

Despite only having 3 horns, it’s a troublesome being that can only be damaged by magic attacks or holy flame.

Moreover, it specializes in mass slaughter, so a party consisting of only knights has a 99% chance of being completely wiped out when encountering this devil.

-I hate being hungry…

The Devouring Cloud rushed in quickly.

“Borden, do you know how to use magic?!”

“I specialize in spearmanship.”

“Damn it.”

I don’t even expect these newly turned mutant vampires to be able to use magic.

If we just keep running like this, we’ll all be wiped out.

Caesar stopped.

He tied Lefty to his belt and enlarged Thunder to hold it with both hands.

“Caesar!”

“Just run away!”

Caesar faced the approaching Devouring Cloud.

And took a deep breath.

If there’s no magic, then we just need to create an effect similar to magic, right?

Caesar shouted.

“Uriyaaaaaaah!”

Along with activating Berserker, Caesar created a whirlwind.

The fierce wind compressed as it traveled through the narrow corridor and shot out like a bullet.

It was so strong that even the fleeing demon race members were knocked down by the rushing wind.

Of course, the effect was tremendous.

The Devouring Cloud was pushed back to the end of the corridor with just one axe strike.

Borden looked at Caesar as if in disbelief.

“…That’s impossible strength.”

“It’s technique.”

Caesar made Thunder smaller and ran.

“Let’s go quickly. Before the King of Sodom comes looking for us.”

“King of Sodom?”

“Yeah, there is such a being. That bastard must be really pissed off. Let’s get out of here quickly.”

If that monster starts rampaging in earnest, everyone will die.

We need to escape from Sodom as quickly as possible before it reacts.

***

The king who leads Sodom.

The master who turned Sodom from barren land into the greatest city of pleasure.

Andras, the Devil of Self-harm, could not contain his anger when he saw the black clouds and fire starting to devour Sodom.

“You idiots!”

Andras knew who these beings were – the black cloud that devours everything, the crimson flames that burn everything, and the giant devil that destroys everything.

They were Andras’s subordinates: Ahijah, Nadab, and Baasha.

What kind of land was Sodom?

Wasn’t it the city of pleasure that Andras had been developing since his time as a human?

It had been 50 years since he developed it from barren land into the greatest entertainment city in the Kingdom of Dior.

Those years and efforts were beginning to burn away and decay into nothing.

Andras could not bear to watch the city crumble.

Andras’s old and wrinkled skin peeled off and flowed down like a snake’s molt.

Then five horns grew on his head, two pairs of black wings sprouted from his back, eyes appeared on his cheekbones, four pairs of arms grew from his sides, and four pairs of legs sprouted from his thighs and buttocks.

Finally, three faces grew on both sides of Andras’s head and the back of his head.

His appearance resembled a giant insect that had transcended humanity.

“How dare you to my Sodom!”

“How dare you to my Sodom!”

“How dare you to my Sodom!”

“How dare you to my Sodom!”

Andras broke one of his own extended arms.

Crack!

Then one of the giant devil’s arms that was destroying the building was broken in the same way.

“Woooooooo!”

Following that, Andras broke his own arm and both legs.

Then the giant’s arms and legs broke in the same way and collapsed.

Andras raised one arm and crushed one of his faces.

Crunch!

Then the giant devil Baasha’s head shattered and he died right there.

Then the broken arms, legs, and head regenerated again.

“Aaaaaaaaah!”

Andras screamed, randomly breaking and crushing his body, pulling out and chewing his intestines.

Guuuurgh!

The crimson flames and black clouds that were expanding their territory screamed and went berserk when Andras began self-harming.

The more this happened, Sodom burned and was consumed faster, but Andras paid no attention and continued the torture.

Like rapidly dying flames, Nadab the devil of fire perished into ashes.

And finally, Ahijah, the devouring cloud that endured pain while consuming humans, fell.

Andras stared blankly at Sodom, which had turned to ashes, while catching his breath.

Soon after, the four heads let out rage-filled screams.

“Aaaaaaaaah!”

Andras’s scream cut across the taut night sky.

***

Caesar came out of the water and looked at Sodom, which was billowing black smoke.

“Wow, It’s burning nicely.”

Indeed, is there anything more fun than watching a fire?

Caesar came onto land and sat on a suitable rock to watch Sodom.

Agatha also came out of the water and sat next to Caesar.

Agatha wrung out the moisture from her hair.

“But it seems the commotion ended faster than expected?”

“I told you. That place is like a refuge for devils. Either the king of Sodom stepped in or other devil stepped in to stop it.”

“The king of Sodom?”

“The devil of self-harm, Andras, is a well-known devil in Sodom.”

A devil with only five horns on its head yet holding the title of count.

If they had met him during the evacuation, something truly horrible would have happened.

Perhaps half of the demon race here would have died?

Following that, Borden and his 200 blood kins, the mermaids, and the kidnapped demon race came out.

“Everyone’s safe.”

Caesar sat on a nearby rock and enjoyed the moonlight.

Indeed, there’s nothing more enjoyable than spacing out a bit after work is done.

Borden sat opposite Caesar and said,

“What are you going to do? Caesar?”

“About what?”

“My blood kins and I plan to go to the liberation front led by Queen Agatha. Won’t you come?”

“Why bother? Shouldn’t there be at least one person like me in the middle of the continent exchanging information?”

Borden thought deeply and then nodded.

“Well, that’s true.”

“Why? Would you like me to come along?”

Caesar used psychometry.

“Not particularly. I was just making a suggestion.”

-Hmm….. It is a bit disappointing to part ways like this.

What, are you a tsundere? [TL/N: Hot while speaking but soft with inner thoughts.]

Hey hey, don’t be cute when you’re a vampire.

I’m scared of getting attached.

Caesar looked around at the demon folk who had come to the shore and were warming themselves by the fire.

Come to think of it, the one Caesar wanted to meet should be among them..

“Is there a doppelganger here?”

Then the other succubi and vampires looked at one incubus.

Caesar also looked at that incubus.

Looking at him gives a ticklish feeling in the chest.

This feeling.

It was exactly the same feeling as when meeting a doppelganger.

“Is it you?”

The incubus slowly walked toward Caesar and began to change shape.

His snout, face, and limbs grew longer, and he began walking on four legs instead of two.

And white wings began to sprout around his waist.

It’s a Pegasus.

“Thank you for saving me, fellow kind.”

“…You could speak our language too?”

“Isn’t that obvious? I can change into mice, cats, and dogs too.”

This is news to me.

I wondered how the other doppelgangers were hiding, turns out they were hiding as animals.

“What’s your name now?”

“Don’t particularly have one. Well, the Knights of the Sky called me Pepe.”

“Wait, if you’re Pepe, aren’t you my… No, the Sky Knights’ Mill’s mount?”

Oops, almost slipped up.

Agatha also seemed shocked as her expression turned pale before breathing a sigh of relief.

“Since when were you Pepe?”

“Since Pepe was hit by an orc’s axe and fell.”

Right.

The official reason Caesar abandoned Mill was when Pepe’s wings were broken by an orc’s thrown axe and fell.

At that time, I really thought I was going to die, but fortunately, there was a deceased ‘Barre’ nearby, so I was able to survive by borrowing that Barre’s body.

“I happened to be active as a mouse nearby and returned to Pepe’s form after eating Pepe’s corpse. Of course, pretending to be injured was quite troublesome.”

It must have been quite difficult for that dry fellow to pretend to be injured.

No, maybe it was better that he transformed into a beast that couldn’t speak.

“So what are you going to do from now on?”

“I plan to return to the demon realm. I’ll have to save other fellow kinds like you did.”

“Then you can cooperate with Agatha.”

Pepe looked at Agatha.

“I was planning to do that anyway.”

Judging by Pepe’s personality, he gives off an extremely dry impression.

Vampires at least feel somewhat rational, but Pepe just feels bland, you could say?

“By the way, what exactly is your ability?”

“Other than changing appearance, I have none.”

“What? None? Why?”

“Because I’m an avatar of another doppelganger.”

What?

What’s that supposed to mean?
