Abandoned Priest at the Hero’s Party

The Demon’s Promise

“A warrior.”

The white-haired woman leaning on a throne made of amethyst read the information of the crystal she held in her hand, with her white eyes shining. Long ago, dragons bestowed magical powers on demons.

The magic of other races was essentially nothing more than stealing and learning the magic of the demons.

So, now that the dragon has gone back to where it came from, the magical race should be called a demon. They do not transmit information with paper and parchment like humans do, but instead of a report with information that should be stored in jewelry.

Harmael smiled at the information recorded in the crystal.

“But in a situation where the trend has already been set, what can three writers do?”

“Now it’s five.”

Succubus Queen, Sharon, stood by Harmael and corrected the misinformation.

“Information from Orlok, the Demon Trader. We have confirmed that Araidel and Archbishop Reenheim, the saints of the Neemi religion, have joined the Hero Party.”

As long as the warrior party has to eat, we can’t stay in the forest forever.

So far, there have been no problems at all. It is because there are many demons who sell supplies to the Hero Party if you give them money, as many demons are swarming under various demon kings.

But now, Harmael is on the verge of taking over the Demon Realm.

Although her dominance was not strong enough to forbid the demons from all over the demon realm to trade with the Hero Party, it was enough to track them down shortly after the Hero Party did something.

“Three or five, does it matter?”

Seeing the crystal bottle filled with Hydra’s poison that Harmael placed near the throne, she smiled as if satisfied.

But in my heart, something was uncomfortable. One of her henchmen, the slime demon lord Marmanun, risked his life to collect the hydra’s poison and extract several bottles of venom.

A few bottles of horses can kill an uncountable amount of people.

Hydra’s venom emits high heat if left alone, so the container that contains it must have cooling magic applied. Of course, the generation of heat means that radiation is also generated.

Anyway, Marmanun, who gave this precious poison, was killed by the hero’s party. That alone was enough reason for her to hate the hero.

“Marmanun. There are countermeasures my loyalties risked their lives for.”

“Hah, your Majesty. You must not ignore the hero too much.”

The Holy Sword is an object that is like the crystal of the divinity of the three gods.

The hero of this generation, chosen by it, is with the saint, Nemi’s daughter.

They don’t even need the power they can create to defeat Harmael. Even if she is seriously injured, Harmael’s power will collapse regardless of victory or defeat.

Among the so-called pro-Harmael demon lords, there are only a few who truly devote their allegiance to her, including the already dead Marmanun.

Most of them are migratory birds that will change when something stronger than her comes along, or are unbelievable things that laugh with their mouths and hide their swords inside.

Devil. is the king of demons There is no hope for a king to serve a higher one.

The individual demons are strong, but the population is not that large, so even if he is a demon king, he is more like a chieftain of a tribe than a king in a strict sense. It is Harmael’s wish to unite these tribes, which had previously played separately, into one tribal union.

However, her dream of being a mage inevitably invades the authority and power of other demon lords. How many of them would be willing to do something like that? It’s just that the trend has shifted, so there are several demon lords who follow.

“If your Majesty wants to be friendly with the Brave Party, you must press it down with overwhelming power. If that’s the case, we could rather use the warrior party as a sacrifice for His Majesty to ascend to the throne.”

The cause of defeating the demonic enemy, the hero, may be one factor in helping her ascend to the demonic ranks. Even as Harmael, his family had to be careful about the Hero Party.

If you succeed, you gain a lot, and if you fail, you lose a lot. If you do, you should definitely be successful.

“Really, Your Majesty. A letter was sent from the noble family of Duke Vlad in the southeastern part of the Empire. He congratulated His Majesty on becoming a demon, and even enclosed a gift.”

“Why the imperial duke? Haven’t I said that I’m going to become a demon hero yet?”

Harmael was puzzled for a moment, but soon realized. Because it wasn’t anyone else’s business.

“Hey, the Illumina Empire doesn’t seem to be of one accord like us. right?”

“You are brilliant. From the beginning of the Empire, the Duke of Vlad was a family that thought about which side we would join, demons or humans.”

vampire. It’s done (魔). A third race that is rejected by both humans and demons.

The progenitor of the Vlad family is the progenitor of these vampires, and when the Illumina Empire was born, they raised the hand of Emperor Taejo to make a great achievement and instead received the duke and territories. Their descendants are now in contact with Harmael, who is about to ascend to the throne as the empire begins to shake.

“Did you say you want to come to us?”

“He even expressed the desire to see His Majesty in person.”

“Hey, I don’t know how incompetent the emperor over there is to leave such a subordinate alone. Being born as an emperor, it would be difficult to be so useless.”

Harmael ordered the letter and the gift to be brought.

Not only did she not rise to the top, but she was already the emperor of the demon tribe, and the gift she received was not very conspicuous. His gaze went straight to the west.

“No, I just left it alone. Those are really creepy things.”

Harmael burst into laughter when he saw the letter sent by Duke Shmira, the head of the Vlad family. Thank you for making me feel a little bit better.

“You want to be crowned? That’s good too. That’s good too. If a vampire wants to create a kingdom, this company will allow it. Tell the vampires to take over the entire southeastern part of the Illumina Empire!”

If only you had the ability to do that.

Anyway, Harmael allowed it. Now what’s left is up to them.

“It seems that the declining race wants to make the last move.”

Sharon also laughed upon hearing the contents of the letter. It was more fun than any other play to see people who couldn’t stand upright under the sun proudly demanding the founding of the country as if they were something great.

“Even if the old emperor dies right now, it will take a while before the empire is ready for destruction. Can’t wait for even that moment, get ready to go wild like a mad foal, and want yourself to become a queen? To have such a waste as a chieftain, vampires have gone until they are gone.”

“It looks like you are still stuck in the past. It was a time when vampires ruled both humans and demons.”

The past has already passed, and the glory has long since faded away.

If Duke Shmira is obsessed with that glory, that’s good too. It’s not that Harmael has any kind of affection for the vampire, it’s just enough to use it in moderation.

I knew that Duke Vlad was ready to surrender to the demons at any time, but thinking about it, the problem at hand was not solved at all. Harmael soon realized it too and became cautious again.

It was necessary to think carefully about how to do the warrior party.

“Greetings.”

Harmael sighed.

“Why won’t he listen to me? If he had been under me, it would have been more than enough to conquer the entire continent beyond unifying demons. By dropping all other races into service races that serve the demons, the demons will be able to enjoy their glory for thousands of years!”

“But in a sense, it’s good for Your Majesty that Grimudo is still stuck in the Arctic. If he had greedy for the power of the world, he would have been in danger right away.”

A being who can change the trend with his own power. When me and the world collide, they are not torn apart, but rather an existence that can change the world.

The ancient demon king existed long before the three gods were even born, and he is not afraid of even the holy sword. The divine power can only do very little damage to him, and it never penetrates into the essence.

Its power is so much that all the demons are in awe of it even now, crouching in the Arctic.

Even the arrogant Harmael could not look down on Grimudo. Even though she had only seen it once, she harbored a deep fear for Grimudo.

“…I’ll have to visit Grimudo.”

“Your Majesty, that is too dangerous!”

Sharon was startled and stopped Harmael. If Grimudo is the opponent, even if the demon army is a million troops, it is of no use to any partner. His monster corps is famous for its destructive meaning.

If he snaps a single finger, monsters tens of meters tall will come out one after another, crushing his enemies. Although the man-eating monster, Manticore, died the other day, there are still many of his monsters.

“It’s not about coming to fight. I don’t think I can subdue him either.”

Even the Hydra’s poison was derived from one of the monsters he was raising.

Grimudo is strong enough to tremble even as an individual, but if you add a group of monsters, it is a fearful existence.

He did not mobilize a single monster while fighting the Brave Party, but with his own power, he crushed Yurinelle, Parnell, and Lucia. All the while, it was overwhelming.

“I just want to float him. Why does he keep crouching with that strong power, what he wants, or maybe he won’t become a threat to me… things like this. If you don’t know that, can you even call me a title because I’m afraid?”

It’s not his power that’s really scary about Grimudo.

I was afraid that no one knew what he wanted or wanted.

Unknown, that was it. This is the biggest factor that creates fear.

What will Harmael do if he unifies the demons? Grimudo can turn over at any time.

Unless he was sure he wouldn’t, she couldn’t have jumped into the ranks of Majesty. It was because Grimudo was afraid.

Even if he changes his mind, or if he behaves like a whim, that light whim may drop her to the bottom of the abyss.

‘And if possible… it would be nice to get support from him.’

It is undeniable that if you can borrow even one of the many monsters that make up his monster corps, even if you can borrow it, that alone is a huge amount of business.

When attacking the Hero Party, and furthermore, when launching an offensive against the Illumina Empire, the presence or absence of monsters will make a huge difference.

Unifying the whole demon world is only the first step in her ambition.

Shouldn’t it be said that it is the aspiration of a person who inherited the blood of dragons only if one dreamed of covering the entire continent?

Even for that, it was necessary to know the meaning of Grimudo. If you are convinced that he is an obstacle to your ambitions, you will have to defeat Grimudo first, even in collaboration with the hero party.
