Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 157

57. Clue (1)

Although he does not have the special ability to freely change his appearance like Saltion, it is not particularly difficult to hide himself from a demon like Laprise.

Disguised as an ordinary traveler, he roamed the direct control of Delite at a speed that was neither fast nor slow.

He actually didn’t have to rush. He is free to play while Cha Shin Hyeon needs to recover his stamina.

However, La Freeze hid his identity in his spare time and concentrated on exploring the estate. It was such sincerity that the dead Delite would shed tears of blood in the underworld.

A series of events centered on the royal castle were still well kept secret.

After confirming during the three-day trip that the nearby residents were leading their daily lives without knowing anything, Laprise finally used her space-transport magic.

He moved to the northernmost point of the territory in a short time and immediately crossed the border. It was a land ruled by a neighboring demon king.

“It’s called Laprise, the demon spirit under Delite.”

“Yes, yep! What business did you visit?”

“It is urgent. I want to see Rhodiac-sama.”

“I’ll put the scorpion in right away.”

When he entered the checkpoint and revealed his identity, the entire checkpoint was shocked and trembled in Busan. Alone and calm, Laprise waited patiently.

If the territory ruled by one demon king is a kingdom, you should not move freely when visiting neighboring kingdoms.

In fact, the concept of a nation as a demon society is rare. There are of course boundaries between each territory, but the borders are not strictly managed or restricted in traffic.

Even so, there is a difference between walking and moving through space. Compared to the former, the latter has a stronger feeling of entering the realm without permission.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if it’s a Demon King. The demon kings are equal, so there is no big difference from going to the next door to play.

However, if it is a demon below him, it is a great disrespect to the demon king to freely move into the territory of the neighboring demon king. Don’t do it even if you know the coordinates.

Therefore, Lafriz’s behavior was extremely normal. To the extent that no one doubts its sincerity.

“You allowed it.”

After a while, the checkpoint chief came with the results of the report.

Soon, a wave of yaw force was sensed nearby. The same demon came to meet him as the demon came.

“Lafriz!”

A demon woman ran into the checkpoint. Since she is a spherical person, her attitude towards La Freeze was quite friendly.

“Nerisa.”

Lafriz smiled faintly.

Usually male demons are physically superior as most animals are strong males. On the other hand, female demons generally had superior magical abilities.

However, while many of the magical abilities can be filled with long-term effort, physical abilities have their limits. For that reason, the proportion of women decreased as they went up to the higher ranks.

In other words, high-ranking female demons were born with talents that could not be narrowed down by effort. Nerissa was one of those geniuses.

“Is it urgent enough for you to come to visit me in person?”

“Unfortunately. I will meet you in person and tell you.”

“Your temper is still there. All right, let’s go.”

Nerissa, who spoke a little sharply, raised her magic power. The energy that enveloped the two demons together twisted the space open.

The word “urgent” seems to have been taken into account. When she arrived at the teleport gate near the royal castle, La Freeze was able to skip her small procedures and immediately meet the Demon King.

“It’s been a while, Lafriz.”

She said as the Demon King looked down at the bottom of the altar.

“See you, Rhodiac.”

“You can stop raising your head.”

“Yes.”Laprise, who had her back bowed deeply, carefully straightened her posture.

The eleven demon kings who survived the long battle against dragon blood.

Among them, Rhodiak, a female demon lord, Yui, leaned on her great throne and stared intently at him. From a human point of view, she would be evaluated as exuding a languid and decadent atmosphere, but from a demonic standard, that is another attractive point.

“What the hell did you come to see?”

in her dreamy voice Rhodiak asked.

She said, “There is a risk of leaks to the booklet, and I thought it would be wise for me to visit in person for this kind of work. If it doesn’t become a lung, can I bite the area around it?”

“… All right, do that.”

As soon as her permission fell, the spirits everywhere in Daejeon (大殿) retreated like low tide.

Of course, Nerissa, who brought Lafriz, was an exception. As her fellow demon and Rhodiac’s closest confidant, she deserves to hear her story.

When there were only three left in Daejeon, La Freeze opened her mouth.

“As Rodiak-sama knows, the lord discovered a dimensional rift the other day.”

“She listened to him,” she said. Did she accidentally find it while subjugating the remnants of the dragon blood that had fled to the end of the world?”

“Yes. The lord, who was interested in beyond the dimension, ordered Saltion to spy out… … .”

“There is no need to tell the story behind the scenes. Because I am well aware of the fact that he, who had planned this and that, led the army and crossed the dimension. Twenty days must have passed from my memory.”

“If you knew, the story would speed up. That is the problem.”

“Well?”

Even though there was no eavesdropper, La Frieze’s voice following her was slightly lowered.

“It has been a long time since I lost contact with the master.”

“what?”

Rhodiac’s forehead wrinkled slightly.

“You lost contact, what do you mean?”

“Beyond the dimensional rift, the Dragonbloods who passed first are building a defense. The damage was too great to break through head-on, so Saltion devised a ruse, and as a result, the lord’s forces were able to cross the rift with little damage. Of course, the dragon blood guarding the rift was annihilated. It’s kind of a safe passage.”

“However?”

“It was strange that there had been no contact for so long, so I sent scouts through the aisle several times, but no one came back. It’s just like when the dragon blood was guarding it in the past.”

“Ummm.”

Rhodiac groaned.

“Then, beyond the rift, there is no way to know what the world is like.”

“Yes. We don’t know if the dragon blood only briefly recaptured the passage, but we have no way of confirming either way. Assuming it’s at the same level as before, even the devil could jump over it and be attacked by the dragons.”

“Now I know why you came in person. Was it to borrow my power?”

“Excuse me, but yes.”

La Frieze bowed his head.

“Of course, with so few dragons surviving, I don’t think they will dare to stop our forces. If several demons fall over at the same time, can they be called dragons? However, it is difficult for me to move other demons by my authority until the circumstances come out that something has clearly happened to the master. If Rhodiak, who will be the future mastermind, lends his authority… … .”

“No, there is none of that.”

Rhodiac raised his hand, interrupting La Frieze.

“I am also interested in the world called Earth. I wonder what the world would be like when they shouted out to give them to a coma. I don’t know what’s happened to him, but if there’s a momentary obstacle, it would be fun to clear it and find it.”

Her slightly hazy eyes lit up with a dazzling light.

“Rather, I am worried about you. Aren’t you going to be scolded for doing something useless?”

“It is an act of loyalty. And if you hear a bruise, it’s Saltion, not me. Wouldn’t it be right that he should have sent the message on behalf of the master?”

“Whoa, it’s also a chance to give the competitor a shot.”

“It’s humbling.”

Lafriz laughed out loud. Laughing, Rhodiak turned to Nerissa.

“I will walk lightly, so there is no need to prepare much. Would an hour be enough? Don’t even take the four of you with me.”

“Yes. Then I will prepare for that.”

Nerissa politely bowed his head. Lafrise asked for Anhae and added more words.

“Before you stop at the Rift, why don’t you stop by the royal castle first? I want to call out foreign spirits and deliver Rhodiak-sama’s message.”

“Do what you like.”

“thank you.”

After the favor was granted, Lafriz once again took the example of gratitude.

Neither Rhodiac nor Nerissa had yet understood the true meaning of the smile he was making.

* * *

Exactly an hour later.

Her demon lord Rhodiac and her four direct demon spirits, including Nerissa, who worships her. In addition to Lafriz, a total of six people left the castle of Rhodiac.

Of course, they don’t have to walk or fly hard to get to a designated target location. As soon as they left the gate, Lafrise said politely.

“Please allow me to use magic.”

“Don’t allow it.”

Rhodi Ak nodded his head.

After receiving permission, Laprise delicately raised her magical power. He carefully wrapped all six of them and used his magic, and then they disappeared all at once toward the distant space.

Pot!

The party appeared at the teleport gate near Delite’s Royal Castle.

“Well? Where did the building go?”

“It was removed due to an unfortunate incident.”

Laprise, who responded indifferently, activated a magic tool in the form of a necklace instead of solving Rhodiac’s question further. He said to the jewel that acts as a communicator.

“Arrived.”

-I get it.

Immediately after returning with a blunt answer.

As if waiting, the gates of the royal castle opened, and about a dozen demons rushed in at a very high speed.

“They… It seems to be an alien demon.”

Even if they move quickly from several kilometers away, there is a huge wall of skill between them and Rhodiac. Their faces were all thoroughly checked by Rhodiac.

“I was told that I would be arriving in an hour, and I just told them to prepare to meet them, but I think everyone was a little excited.”

“Whoever sees it will know that they are my servants.”

Even though they lightly kicked their tongues, Rhodiak and the party had not noticed anything strange until this point.

It wasn’t their fault. Who would doubt the actions of the demon lord’s closest aide, whom he had seen for decades? There was not a single thing that Lafrise was acting suspiciously about. Nerissa, who had a secret affection for him, did not even notice the change in Lafriz’s inner side.

By the time the thirteen foreign demons who had been running quickly arrived, Lafriz took a few steps forward as if to meet them.

Then he suddenly turned around.

“Lodiac-sama.”

Looking at the demon king who was standing tall, Laprise opened her mouth with a soft voice.

“Why but?”

“I’m here to tell you later, but… In fact, the Lord is already here. At the command of the master, I was forced to tell a lie to Rhodiac.””what?”

Rhodiac’s eyes frowned.

When she heard that her fiancée was diving, she was getting ready to go see her in person, but what are you talking about now? Have you prepared a surprise party?

“… No, wait.”

Was Dellite a prankster like this?

While doubts arose in Rhodiac’s mind, Laprise still spoke politely.

“It was quite difficult for me to tell lies. No matter how necessary it is, you have to act as if you are serving a false master. Of course, you can do more than this if your lord commands you.”

But somehow the words are getting weirder. Feeling the suspicion turning into unexplained anxiety, Rhodiak scolded him harshly.

“Laprise, what are you talking about?”

– Simply put.

At that moment, an unfamiliar voice was heard from Lafriz’s communicator.

next moment.

As if they had been there from the beginning, someone lightly sat down next to Lafriz. It wasn’t a space-moving magic that could read the omens, but the power of the Chukji that moved several kilometers from the castle to here in just one step.

“You have fallen into a trap, Queen.”

Cha Shin Hyeon grinned.

Rhodiac’s eyes wide open, not even seeing him appear.

“Who are you?”

“You are the true master Laprise spoke of.”

“what?”

“It’s just a silly story. Delite died and his men surrendered to me, or something. Strictly speaking, it’s a little different, but in a broad sense, it’s similar.”

As if to prove that statement, Lafriz and the demon spirits retreated all at once. There was no difference in the attitude of a servant serving the master in his respectful appearance.

“radish… Son… … .”

Whether it was a voluntary surrender or a forced surrender was a big difference, but Rhodiac was not adept at recognizing it.

What was important was that the demons really followed Cha Shin Hyeon, which made it more likely that Cha Shin Hyeon’s preceding statements were also true.

She muttered in a slightly trembling voice.

“Dellight… that he died… … ?”

“It’s like I’ve done something bad because I’m so stunned.”

Shrugging, Cha Shin Hyeon naturally opened the inventory. A red sword made of dragon scales appeared.

“The bad things were done by the Demon King first. If you invade other people’s land and kill a million people, you should be punished. is not it?”

“Your boy… You are from Earth!”

Rhodiac shouted.

The anger at himself for being fooled by Lafriz foolishly and anger at Cha Shin Hyeon for killing Delite mixed at once, and it boiled over in an instant.

The rushing madness was expressed through the skin and mixed with the magical power of the whole body. Even Nerissa, who was on her side, had an energy full of life soared without end, to the point that it became difficult to breathe for a moment.

“kill!”

Rhodiac, whose eyes were stained with blood, roared wildly.

“It would be difficult in that state.”

Cha Shin Hyeon replied sarcastically, raising a bloody sword and pointing it at the opponent.

“Turn it on now. Is it the Demon Lord Spirit, or something?”

That’s all he wants.
