Defense 999,999,999 Corps Commander - Chapter 82



82 – Rest (1)

“What’s going on here?”

I pushed Seina away and looked at Rosaria.

The reason she came was predictable.

‘Are you thinking of sticking to my side?’

The overlord had rejected her.

There was no doubt that he was going to choose me over the Overlord.

Otherwise, the monarch would not have come to the palace so unexpectedly.

“Hehehe. He’s still a tough guy. I thought we were getting pretty close.”

Swish.

A black robe is wrapped around her naked body.

“He asked what business he had.”

Rosaria smiled at my continued words.

“Right to the point? Okay, I’d like to stay in this castle for a while. Is that possible? It’s scary outside.”

“But why did you come to me?”

But – there was one thing I didn’t understand.

I was not as strong as the overlord and the warrior.

There must have been a reason why the proud vampire chose me.

“I know. I know everything.”

As Rosaria flicked her hand, a bat flew in through the window.

It was a scout bat.

“Were you spying on me?”

“Oh my, why are you saying such sad things? I’m just trying to understand the situation.”

Rosaria stretches with a natural, innocent face.

‘Do you know that I’m in league with Marilyn?’

It didn’t really matter to me that I knew, but I felt bad because I thought I was being watched for no reason.

“Looking at your expression, is there really something there? I was just wondering. Haha. My intuition was right.”

“…what?”

“I didn’t do any surveillance or anything. I just came here on a whim. Hmm- the room is cleaner than I thought?”

Rosaria looked around the room with curious eyes like a high school girl entering a boys’ room for the first time.

I sighed and stroked my chin.

‘What is the benefit of keeping Rosaria in my castle?’

Of course, she was a strong enough force.

However, I will not participate in the upcoming battle with the Overlord.

Why would you get involved in a fight you know you’re going to lose?

then.

“It seems like it would be difficult to do it for free.”

It was something that could have been used elsewhere.

“Huh, is this it? Between us.”

Rosaria slowly approaches me, showing off her alluring appearance.

Your gaze is drawn to the flowing blonde hair and s*xy red eyes.

It looks like he’s trying to use a beauty trap.

“Don’t come near Gerard-!”

At that moment, Seina stood between me and Rosaria, her tail raised.

“Oh my, there was a cute wolf too?”

“Ears, are you cute?”

Would it be nice to hear the words “cute wolf”?

Seina’s face turned red for a moment, but she soon shook her head.

“… Even if you say that! It’s no use. What are you planning to do by approaching Gerard?”

Sigh, I burst out laughing.

‘My body was shaking. But I was acting tough.’

Perhaps, she set out with the thought that ‘I have to protect my husband!’

It was quite sturdy and cute.

but-

“Seina, don’t worry.”

I gently grabbed Seina’s arm and sent her behind her back.

No matter how strong she became, she was just a puppy in front of Rosaria.

“…okay.”

Seina came obediently behind me.

The tail was wagging for a moment, so it seemed like it was quite scared.

“That’s quite a half-and-half wolf. I want to eat it.”

Rosaria flicked her tongue and licked her lips. Seina, trembling with fear, grabbed my arm.

I patted her head once as if to reassure her and then glared at Rosaria.

“Enough joking, Rosaria. If you wish to stay as a guest in my castle.”

“Hmm, just kidding. Okay, okay. So?”

Rosaria walked over to the bed, sat down gently, and crossed her legs. It seemed as if she was trying to show off her curves. In fact, she was pretty enough to show off.

“What can I do for you, Seven Lords?”

“I wish you could find one of the demons.”

“I’m not an errand boy, you know-”

Rosaria lay on the bed with her legs stretched out.

“Then go back. Get out of my bed. We’re not that intimate.”

“The situation isn’t good enough for that. Hehe. Who should I look for?”

Rosaria opened her mouth with an even more subdued attitude.

I answered as if I had been waiting.

“The Lord of Destruction.”

“…Why are you looking for that scoundrel? Seven Lords.”

‘I originally just wanted to leave it alone.’

With Rosaria, the story is different.

The reason we didn’t assign any tracking personnel in the first place was because we were afraid that we would all be wiped out by the Lord of Destruction.

It can’t hurt to know what he’s up to.

I was thinking of using Rosaria.

“Don’t ask me why. All you have to do is find out where they are. If you let the bats do it, it won’t be that hard.”

“Huh? How would you know something like that?”

Rosaria is a high-ranking vampire.

They were also a powerful demon race that could travel across the world using bats without having to move themselves.

“If you accept these conditions, I will allow you to stay in the castle.”

“Okay, I’ll accept. I already sent something to the Lord of Destruction before you said anything.”

“So, I was also watching?”

“No? It was only sent to the other monarchs, except for you.”

‘You have to be able to trust him. He’s like a thousand-year-old fox.’

I don’t know if it’s real or fake.

But – what can you do if you believe it?

“Oh, you little b*stard!”

“Why is that?”

“You have killed my beloved bat, our great lord of destruction.”

Rosaria bit her lips.

**

“I finally found it.”

Under the sky filled with purple aurora.

The remains of thousands of monsters were lying on the ground.

The Lord of Destruction raised his head and looked at the wish floating in the air.

A brilliant red triangle pattern. That must have been a wish that only existed in legends.

“If I had just this, I could eliminate that unlucky overlord and that b*stard, and become the greatest demon in the world.”

The Lord of Destruction raised his head as if he was thrilled just thinking about it.

How much effort have you put in so far?

The personality of the overlord who is usually unpredictable. The gaze that does not see the monarchs as anything more than chess pieces.

I tried to understand everything.

however-

-What? You like me?

-I don’t know because this is my first time feeling this way. I think so, Your Majesty.

-Phehehe. What’s good about me?

-I’m attracted to demons who are stronger than me. Is that why?

– Hehe, really? Thanks. But I’ll just accept your heart. I don’t want to get deeply involved with anyone anymore.

“And yet, after saying such things, you’re hanging out with some worthless human.”

The Lord of Destruction clenched his fist.

A story from hundreds of years ago. Ariel might not even remember it.

However, to him, it was as vivid as if it were yesterday.

“I will make sure you regret it. Overlord. No, Ariel.”

Just as he was about to extend his hand, something black flew in and bit the Lord of Destruction’s hand.

“Ugh-! You annoying b*tch!”

As the Lord of Destruction stretched out his hand, a hideous monster’s mouth appeared.

He chewed and swallowed the bat whole.

“You rag-like Rosaria. After you take care of everyone, it’s your turn.”

The Lord of Destruction extended his hand in an annoyed gesture.

As soon as the wish reached him, it began to be absorbed into his body.

The Lord of Destruction began to laugh hysterically.

Imagine the faces of two people falling to the cold floor, screaming in pain.

**

Swish.

Heavy rain pours down in torrents.

“…shit.”

The Lord of Death looked at the Overlord’s castle, which seemed like a dot in the distance, with vain eyes.

– Long time no see? Second Lord. What’s going on?

-Your Majesty, let me get straight to the point. I was short-sighted. It was clearly an irresponsible act to abandon the monarchy that had been so solid. I hope you forgive me.

I thought that if I sincerely apologized, we could definitely start over.

The Overlord also believed that he would want to revive the Demonic System.

-Yeah? I’m not mad. It’s your freedom to leave.

-Is that so? Well then, that’s good. I’m back to being a monarch…

-But when you come back, you won’t be free.

-What?

-You were the ones who left the nest. I think it’s right to take full responsibility for that.

-T-What does that mean?! Your Majesty, you should already know that! It’s a lot of trouble to do things alone. Wouldn’t it be more effective to divide up the work and roles and rule the human world in a stable manner?

Anyone could see that it was correct.

However, the words of the returning overlord were truly shocking.

-2nd Lord, you have worked hard for a thousand years. Now the demon system may be coming to an end.

If another demon had said something like that, I might have laughed at him.

But – when it is said by a great monarch standing higher than the sky, the weight is different.

-… Does that mean you will be defeated by the warrior?

-Maybe so?

The second monarch bit his lower lip hard.

The overlord was wrong.

He has been in the position of overlord for too long – he has gone mad.

“… If it comes to this, I guess I’ll have to go see the Lord of Destruction.”

Now the warrior is out hunting the demons.

We had to pool our strengths.

Now that the overlord’s heart has been broken, we must grab hold of the rope.

“found.”

That was when.

Pussuk.

A woman appeared between the bushes.

The second lord’s eyes began to tremble madly in all directions.

Blond hair flowing and dazzling armor.

“Hey, warrior—!”

He was definitely a warrior.

“Pay the price, Your Majesty.”

Sreung!

The holy sword appeared in the warrior’s hand, along with a light so brilliant that it was difficult to open his eyes.

“W-Wait a minute! I’ll give you information on other monarchs! No, even the Grand Monarch if you want!”

Ariel smiled bitterly.

“I heard that the Demon Race is a cheerful race. Haven’t you been in the human world too long? You’ve become completely human.”

“Listen to me, warrior! You will gain nothing by killing me! If I release my power, even you will be safe…”

Crunch-!

As light passes through a prism, brilliant, colorful lines are drawn in the air.

As if glass was breaking, the world split apart in an instant and shards poured down.

Bam.

The Lord of Death’s head rolls on the floor.

“Next up – the Overlord?”

Marilyn looked at the corpse of the Lord of Death, which was reduced to a handful of ash.

Ssaaah-

One step closer to reclaiming the human world.

There’s only one step left.
