The player returns after 10,000 years Episode 251
The war is over (3)
-Click.
A huge door 5 meters high opened.
The one who opened the door and entered was a muscular giant with red skin.
No, it was a monster with a body that was too large to be simply described as a ‘giant’.
[Hmm?]
The Balrog, who moved his body in a training room specially designed for him, tilted his head.
An uninvited guest entered his house.
[What’s going on, Lilith?] I’m renting a kitchen for a while. My house is right next door to the Demon King, so you might get caught.
Lilith replied calmly.
The Balrog frowned at her words.
[That’s why you renovate someone else’s house like this.]
*
Of course, the house Kangwoo prepared for the Balrog didn’t have a kitchen.
Balrogs don’t have to cook, and demons don’t need to eat in the first place.
The place where Lilith is making something now is a place she remodeled and created.
Ho ho ho. This is all for the Demon King.
[…What do you mean by that?]
When the rain was mentioned, the Balrog’s eyes lit up.
Lilith clicked her tongue and moved the cleaver.
bang. bang. Blood-red liquid flowed out. Did you forget what Maou-sama used to say?
[Hmm?]
Lilith continued with a serious expression.
You said you wanted to eat kimchi jjigae that much .
[Kimchi stew!]
Balrog’s eyes widened. I peel off the skin of a dead animal and rip out my intestines.
After brutally butchering an animal with a sharp knife, leaving only meat that is easy to chew, it is literally a food fit for a ‘demon king’
.
After arriving on Earth, I had a chance to try it several times at the recommendation of Kang Woo, but I couldn’t understand the taste, perhaps because I didn’t have a cruel mind like the devil
.
[I can’t believe you, Lilith…] The Balrog glared at her, trembling slightly.
Lilith licked the red liquid on the knife with her tongue.
Whoops. This time, I’m thinking of making the kimchi stew myself and offering it to the King.
[ ….]
The Balrog shuddered.
After swearing to protect the king, he
hoped to awaken the ‘Paewanggap’ and monopolize the king’s love and attention.
come out like this
[Keugh!]
The Balrog clenched his fists in anger.
[Is it not enough to seduce the king with that appearance?]
It was unfair.
Lilith has a breathtakingly beautiful appearance befitting her status as a succubus queen.
Even in hell, how many demons
have you loved by using your beautiful appearance? ‘It’s just trusting this face…!’
Even if he cut off the heads of countless demons to earn the king’s loyalty, he could not compare to Lilith.
Because the Demon King trembled and was delighted just by looking at Lilith’s face.
Lilith turned her head with a somewhat lonely expression.
Apparently… the Demon King doesn’t seem to care about that appearance at all.
This time, it was not difficult to see that he had given his heart to a woman named Han Seol-ah.
A beautiful appearance means nothing to the king.
What can move his heart is not something like a physical shell.
In order to move his heart, you have to go one step further. Now then, I will be practicing cooking, so you should be training hard on useless skills or whatever.
[Keuuu…]
The Balrog bit his lip and clenched his fist.
Resentment and jealousy soared.
‘To me too.
If only she had a beautiful appearance that would dazzle the demon lord like Lilith.
[Haa.] I let out a sigh.
The Balrog turned around. ‘I do what I can.
What the demon king wants from himself will be different from Lilith.
All he can do now is to become stronger to become the king’s sword in order to become the king’s shield.
[Later…]
The Balrog turned his head.
[Tell me how to make kimchi stew, too.]
He said in a voice that seemed to be crawling.
Lilith covered her mouth and burst into laughter.
Whoops. okay. Don’t look at me like that abandoned puppy. But even if I told you…
would the demon king like it more than what I made?
[
….]
The Balrog was silent at her ensuing question.
There is no need to think about the fact that Lilith, who has a beautiful appearance, will naturally receive more attention than any other woman if they make the same kimchi stew.
[…Damn it!]
The Balrog spat out harsh words and headed for the training ground once again.
I picked up the communicator given by the demon king and contacted someone.
In the end, there is a limit to training alone.
-hello?
[human. I have a suggestion.] Through the communicator came the familiar young man’s voice. [Please hang out with me.]
The red muscles that sensed the battle swelled as if they were about to explode.
Let’s see…
Kang-wu sat down on the sofa and opened the documents he had received from Gaia.
[Russian Great War post-war report.] [Dead players – 3812.]
…tsk.
Kang Woo, who was handing over the documents, clicked his tongue. The number of Guardians, said to have gathered players from all over the world, is about 10,000.
Almost half of the players died in one battle.
‘It was a worthy war, but.’
He is not omnipotent. You can’t make a single casualty out of a large-scale battle.
It was expected from the time they prepared for war that great sacrifices would follow.
‘still.
It is true that it is bittersweet that close to half the number died. It is said that applicants who want
to participate in the Guardians
are rushing after this war, but it will take a long time to select and raise talented people among them.
‘The fortunate thing is.’
There were no major casualties in the Guardians’ most important force, the Cheonrang Unit and the 1st Army led by Grace.
Most of the dead were players who were swept away by the second landslide.
[Dead player name and level.]
*Player Name: Kwon Oh-jin (Level: 78)
*Player Name: Hikigaya Hachiman (Level: 82)
*Player Name: William Smith (Level: 76)
‘Smith?’
As I was checking the death list, someone’s name caught my eye.
Smith you son of a bitch.
In the end, he couldn’t propose to Anna
…
Kang Woo sighed deeply and mourned Smith. ‘So why did you say that…’
At this point, you could say it’s karma.
Kangwoo picked up his smartphone with a bitter heart.
-Ah yes. What’s going on, Mr. Kang? Hyunwoo Park. A person who served as a team leader in the Red Rose Guild’s personnel management team
, and was scouted
for his ability after the Guardians were established .
Now, he has become an executive who manages compensation for the bereaved families of the war dead and support funds sent from various countries.
This time, William Smith is on the list of dead.
-wait a minute. Oh yes. He’s a British player. Are you an acquaintance?
Park Hyun-woo asked cautiously. no. It’s not like that, but I’d like to ask for a quicker compensation process.
He died leaving behind a lover whom he had promised to marry.
If I didn’t know, I wouldn’t have paid any attention to it, but I wanted to give some consideration to it, since it caught my eye.
‘I’m not the type to care about things like this.’
When people are in a good mood, they suddenly do things they wouldn’t do.
It feels just like that now. The problem with Lilith and the problem with Satan were also resolved, and since I had some free time, I wanted to do something I hadn’t done before.
-wait a minute. Hmmm… the reward processing is already over.
is that so?
-yes. Ah, where did you hear the name Smith? A woman named Anna came to the Guardians headquarters and took all the compensation money. In Mr. Smith’s will, it was written that he would hand over all his property to Mr. Anna.
okay.
I had a feeling that something was wrong. -yes. To be precise, Anna and her husband came and took all the compensation money. yes?
your husband?
-Anna and Mr. Smith have been childhood friends for a long time… There is nothing else written in the suicide note. Any problem? no. It’s… nothing
.
Kang Woo hung up the phone. His face came to mind as he chatted with his subordinates and said he would propose to Anna after the war.
‘Smith ugh!!!
Is this really the bitter taste of reality
?
No matter how much I thought about it, all I could think of was that I had been tricked by a woman named Anna. ‘Is it because reality is a gutter?’
It was to the point where I felt fortunate that Smith, who would have died without knowing this fact
.
Kang Woo covered the list of the dead and mourned him for a while.
Well…
honestly, it didn’t matter. What does it matter if Smith’s life is a gutter or what?
‘As long as I’m okay.
Kang-woo looked back on his life these days
.
Literally an ideal life with no worries.
The life of an unemployed man with a lot of money, as if painted in a picture, where no one says anything even if he rolls around at home all day.
What a perfect life it is to live a life where you don’t even have to work.
Do you think working gives you the will to live? Are you happiest when working?
‘dog sound.
The more a guy says that, the more likely he is to throw his resignation ticket in the face of his boss as soon as he wins the lottery.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Kang Woo lay down on the sofa and stretched out.
‘of course.
It’s not all over yet. The remnants of the Demonic Church also remained, and the other grand dukes had to be investigated.
Her relationship with the angels is also subtle, and even the devil who resides in the ‘Abyss’
is annoyed. ‘I have work to do right now.
What is in front of my eyes is to practice using the authority of Satan, the authority of annihilation, and at the same time increase the control of demonic energy.
In fact, there was a lot of work to do.
still.
Wouldn’t you need some time to enjoy this leisurely?
He lay down on the sofa and closed his eyes. – Ding-dong.
It was then.
…Are you here already?
Echidna, Seol-ah, and her mother went out to buy clothes together, so she was left alone at home.
Kangwoo tilted his head and went out to the front door.
Opened the door. -It’s sweet. I missed you. My king, my love…
– Bang!!
hastily closed the door.
Whoops, whoops, whoops.
The hand holding the doorknob trembled. ‘What is this all of a sudden?
The appearance of Lilith in front of the entrance is not Kurosaki Yurie’s, but a demonic state with green tentacles and 18 red eyes.
‘Why the hell why is Shiva why are you like that again?
She must have noticed that she was extremely traumatized by that appearance. If it wasn’t for that
, I couldn’t have suddenly become docile recently
.
‘Gwangmyeong.’
The end of the nightmare
should have come.
-Stick.
Hohoho, the demon king is also chaam. You still have a lot of shame.
Slime-filled green tentacles slipped through the cracks in the door.
click. The locked door unlocked and Lilith appeared. what’s going on
Kangwoo cautiously stepped back and asked.
Lilith held out the pot in her hand.
Whoops. I made it myself.
She smiled broadly, her cheeks blushing in embarrassment.
It was a terrible smile, like something out of a nightmare. This…
A familiar smell came from the pot. Kang Woo accepted the pot with twinkling eyes.
It’s kimchi stew.
Ho-ho-ho, since the demon king was in hell, he often said that he wanted to eat it.
That’s true, but…
I’ve been eating it once a day since I came to Earth anyway.
Lilith twisted her body around as if she was embarrassed and continued.
I heard that Seol-ah is good at cooking… but I also wanted to make it for Mawang-nim myself. So I practiced hard for a while.
Ah…
A short exclamation came out. I could understand the reason for the recent lack of contact.
Kangwoo saw that a therapeutic bandage was attached to her fingers, which were made of green tentacles. ‘What kind of production is this?’
A bloody laugh flowed out. I don’t know where she picked it up, but Kang-woo knew very well that she couldn’t be hurt by a kitchen knife.
thank you.
Kang Woo smiled faintly and moved the pot to the table.
Lilith followed him with frequent steps.
Seeing her twinkling eyes made me feel guilty.
‘Suddenly, I’m sorry again.
I regretted shutting the door as soon as I saw her standing in front of the door. I’ll eat well then.
If you want any more, please let me know. Because I do a lot at home.
haha. okay.
Click.
Kangwoo brought white rice from the kitchen and started eating kimchi stew in earnest.
‘oh.’
After eating the kimchi stew, Kangwoo’s eyes lit up.
‘Is it delicious?’
The kimchi stew made with Han Seol-ah and the rain view were equally delicious.
Kang Woo looked at Lilith in amazement
.
A demon with little sense of taste must have suffered beyond imagination to make it this way. ‘It’s extraordinary.
A smile crept across his lips.
– will lose. huh?
Then I felt something strange in my mouth.
*
The chewy texture of seafood such as octopus, not meat.
What do you put in kimchi stew?
*
Oh that’s it. Lilith gave a deep smile. ‘Oh, wait a minute.
Kang Woo’s expression hardened. something ominous. A very foreboding feeling ran down his spine.
This is my secret recipe.
frown
Lilith winked, closing 9 of her 18 eyes.
The ominous feeling grew even more.
‘no.’
Kang Woo’s hands trembled. ‘It can’t be… I can’t.
The healing band attached to Lilith’s green tentacles caught my eye again.
There’s no way the devil could be hurt by a kitchen knife. But
what if you cut it ‘on purpose’?
oh no!!
bang!
He slammed the table violently and hurriedly stood up.
no.
It can’t be.
no way.
No matter how much she is. Kangwoo lowered his head and looked down at the pot.
At that place.
Whoops.
Cover your mouth.
The words came naturally to me.
‘Reality…’
is a gutter.
