Chapter 377. It’s a role I’m familiar with (1)
Looking at the message that came to mind.
[??? : Battle for the Demon King – Proof of the Tenth Seat]
The format of the quest is clear…
Why does it start with a question mark?
I have doubts, but check the contents first.
Thanks, I was able to guess.
You are the King of the Ten Thrones.
Many challengers are eager for your place. Kneel at the hand of a challenger or take down another king watching from above. The choice of challenge and proof is entirely up to you, the king.
-Secure the tenth throne. (In progress)
-Challenge for the ninth throne. (In progress) It seems that
this is…
not an Arcana quest, but a ‘Pandemonium’ side quest. Because that wasn’t enough, this quest was clearly treating me as a king, more precisely, as a new demon king who took the place of Buer.
‘Can I be happy to be a king?’
Since the tenth throne is the true king.
Is it possible to occupy the throne regardless of race?
Unexpectedly, you’re quite open, isn’t it?
Well, even if it’s just an undead lich doing Discus or something.
He must have said he was aiming for the throne of Buer.
‘No matter how much it is, a human is a demon king.’
I still couldn’t believe it.
It was written in a system message that didn’t lie.
The choice of challenge and proof is entirely up to me as the king.
Once I recited
“It’s checkmate.”
Not even in front of the chessboard.
You don’t even know how to play chess properly.
It’s a no-brainer checkmate declaration.
“…Che checkmate?”
I feel the attention of the people around me.
People who know chess and people who don’t know can guess what it means.
It means the king is in danger.
‘It’s grandiose, but it’s not wrong.’
I don’t know if it’s twice as right.
I could guess just by looking at the two quest objectives.
Yes, as the demon king of the tenth throne, I was able to challenge the throne of the other higher demon kings. At the same time, as the Demon King of the Ten Thrones, he had to prove his ability against the challenges of numerous challengers.
I muttered to myself.
‘There’s no such thing as a dilemma.’
It was a very honest impression.
The reason is simple.
Because I don’t have the skills to defeat a high-ranking demon lord yet.
It was Grandfel who killed Buer, not me.
‘It’s the same with Rich Discus.’
If the challengers were all devils, I wouldn’t know.
If a challenger who has nothing to do with demons appears.
You won’t be able to benefit from the [natural enemy relationship] that you can trust.
It could have been said that it was a blow to the front and back.
However, my snout was not honest.
“It kills two birds with one stone.”
In the end, did he question my continuous chanting?
The chain walker asked cautiously.
“Captain, what happened?”
It wasn’t just the chain walker.
Nam Tae-min and other members of the giant coalition were also looking at me with serious expressions. My alter egos, Hiel and Diend, also lowered their heads and spoke to me.
“My lord, I don’t want to regret it again.”
So I had no choice but to look at them seriously.
The proof of the 10th seat is a bullshit.
It was the tenth throne that Buer had passed on.
I had no experience sitting on a throne, but I could feel it.
It wouldn’t be a demonic quest for nothing.
This means that threats on a different level may be overflowing.
Perhaps the real war has finally begun.
‘Everyone will be in danger.’
That’s why there can be no hiding.
My stubbornness could not stand still.
I opened my mouth directly.
“Are you guys ready to go to war with me?”
The weight of war touches me.
Depending on victory or defeat, the lives of countless people will come and go.
I might die on the battlefield.
Even a chain walker armed with dwarf gear might be killed in a ghastly manner.
Nam Tae-min Hisagi Leoni Skal, of course.
Even real players may not be exempt from threats.
So I definitely wanted to get an answer.
In order not to be shaken from me.
But the answer came much sooner than I thought.
“What are you talking about, General Genga?”
Even with a hearty laugh.
The Chain Walker was smiling with satisfaction.
“You must not have forgotten why your title was Commander-in-Chief? If I had forgotten… I might be feeling sorry for you for the first time!”
Title Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces of the Holy War.
At that, I realized
‘It means that everyone has been prepared for a long time.’
Was that…? Maybe I was the only one who wasn’t looking at the situation properly. Even their lives have been sacrificed ever since they joined the Crusade Alliance.
It was from then.
‘…Yes, the commander-in-chief.’
The fact that the title of ‘Chief of the General’, which had been unfamiliar to me until now, no longer sounds like cringe. Is it because of the dark history or the iron? If not, is it because of pride?
I didn’t know why, but one thing was certain.
That this is the beginning of a full-fledged holy war.
So I didn’t hesitate.
“I, Lee Ho-yeol, will respect your decision.”
declared right away.
“As the commander-in-chief of the Allied Crusade.”
…No matter how hard it is, it’s still not easy to say it out loud.

Langeri, a small city on the outskirts of the empire.
Liuojunchun looked at the message that emerged from the lord’s castle.
At the same time, I checked the complexion of the five stars.
There was not the slightest change in their faces.
‘This is a message that only came to me.’
Liuojunchun’s eyes turn to the message again.
[??? : Battle for the Demon King – Proof of the Ten Thrones]
A usurper with the qualities of a king. The time has come to take the place of a true king. Now that the demon king of the new tenth throne has proven his qualifications. Does that mean that opportunities have come to you as well? Will you settle down or will you challenge? Choose, challenger.
-Challenge the Demon King of the Ten Thrones. (Ongoing)
Before and after the cataclysm.
This is Junchun Liu, who was active as a top ranker.
In addition, as the guild master of the unification of the world, he has come across a lot of information.
The eyes of such a knowledgeable player are the first letters of the message.
I was stuck on a question mark.
‘Are you saying you can’t even dare to evaluate the system?’
The value of this quest.
Liuojunchun read the contents of the quest over and over again.
To sum it up, it was simple.
It was that the opportunity had come to kill the Demon King of the Ten Thrones and claim the throne.
‘Like the demon king of the new tenth throne did.’
The demon king of the tenth throne.
Liuo Junchun had no idea who it was.
The only thing I can guess is…
The main character of the message that came up in front of my eyes as well.
‘Granfell.’
He said he started a mythical quest.
That possibility cannot be overlooked.
In any case, it is the same as being unknown.
Liuojunchun neither looked up to nor feared that unknown being. The important thing was that he had the qualifications of a challenger in his hands.
‘The quality of a king.’
He must be referring to the [Lord] class.
Liuojunchun was the only [lord] among the players.
Although there were players who had the [Lord] class in the past.
Most of the characters were deleted and new characters were developed before the cataclysm due to the high level of development difficulty. If you ask what happened to the [Monarch] who awakened as a player after the Cataclysm.
Shuk.
Liuojunchun’s gaze turned to the hilt of the five-star sword.
Killed.
without missing a single one.
The reason was simple.
class quest.
Unique among the same class.
Ryuo Junchun, a class quest that only the chosen ones can complete.
was to do it himself.
Wasn’t there a headwind?
Could it be that
No one noticed.
– Found as a corpse in the Sheodin Rift, the monarch player!
– The player’s actions seem highly likely…
– Was the conflict with the supernova the cause? Except for the suspicion amplifying
intelligence.
Because it was Ryuo Junchun, whom no one in the unification of the world trusted.
Because there was no one to catch up on.
The corner of Liuojunchun’s mouth went up.
Indeed, my judgment was not a mistake.
As the sole player lord.
It was certain that he seized the opportunity to challenge the throne of the Tenth Seat.
‘but.’
This was the Arcana Continent. It means that you can’t guarantee how many people like you will have the qualities of a monarch. So, Liuo Junchun had no intention of moving first.
‘Opportunity comes.’
Moreover, he was the Demon King.
‘Maybe I could be aiming for a fisherman’s geography.’
Yes.
They treat demons like bugs and hunt them thoroughly.
Didn’t Lee Ho-yeol enter the Arcana continent in earnest?
Liuojunchun murmured.
“Maybe I will see your virtue for the first time.”
Without even realizing that he had a huge misunderstanding…

Magic Tower.
Crystal Hall.
Marcelo looked at the muttering crowd.
‘It doesn’t sound like that either. kyung.’
The new tower owner still called the chief mage Lord. It had to be. Because Marcelo didn’t think that he had proved the Tower Master’s vessel.
‘Nevertheless, I’ll try.’
just that.
Because it was the only way to share the burden Ho-yeol was carrying.
Marcelo had only taken on the role of the tower owner.
‘It’s a battle against the demon king.’
I’ve experienced it once in the past.
A throne of 72 seats.
The battle for the demon king took place to fill the vacancy of the demon king who fell into hell.
However, remarks from the AAU side continued.
“The demon lords, except for the top 10 demon lords, have been deleted due to balance adjustments. So far, the update history has never been out of sync, so the throne in this battle for the demon king must be the throne of a higher demon king.”
Banshee William, the chief of flame magic, twitched.
“Hey, I can say that too. Beware of the high-ranking demon king, isn’t that what Chief Lee said, not anyone else? The question is, how do you deal with such a high-level demon king?
“Is that so…?”
“is it so! The problem is how to respond to a high-ranking demon king who is sure to rampage from now on. I can’t be sure where I’ll run out right now. Because the plate is laid on them!”
Although at first glance it seemed like an altercation.
Mage Tower and AAU.
Arcana continent and reality.
It was one of the processes for a group of two completely different worlds to put their heads together and come up with a [『Strange』] answer. Therefore, Park Min-jae, the head of the AAU Korea branch, also opened his mouth.
“Senior Bensh William’s words are not wrong. Even from the point of view of the early days of the Arcana Continent, the probability that the top demons will rampage has increased. Even looking back at the previous cases, it is.”
Tadadak.
When Park Min-jae glanced at him, Yoon Su-gyeom tapped the laptop keyboard.
At the same time, a hologram floating in the crystal hall.
It contained the scenery of the last demon lord battle.
frost.
A star pattern drawn on the body.
The pictures of Dekaravia flow one after another.
“Originally, in order to summon the Demon King, a corresponding sacrifice is required. However, it was different when the plate called the battle for the devil was laid. Demons strong enough to challenge the throne poured out without any sacrifice.”
That was the reason Park Min-jae went to Raymon Sean.
“It will be the same as then. High-ranking demons who need enormous wealth may overflow into reality without any restrictions. Even the challengers who are aiming for the position of such a high-ranking demon king do not need to add an explanation.”
“….”
The first time they met, it was embarrassing.
Raymon Shen, as always, has thrown a problem that cannot be solved at this time. Because that was Raymon Shen’s way of communicating. Senior wizards have a conversation with Park Min-jae’s remarks.
“Can our mage tower handle it?”
“If I gave this Banshee William a magic tool for a decisive battle, I would burn anything, whether it be a high-ranking demon king or something…!! Senior Bangrit, don’t you know because you witnessed my arcane magic?”
“Yes, it must have been great. But high-ranking demons are more than dragons, right? Considering that he is a more formidable enemy than Yunaxus, who was corrupted into an evil dragon…”
He is a better enemy than Yunaxus.
“Kuhm.”
Imagine that, even Banshee had no choice but to shut up.
There was silence in the Crystal Hall for a while.
Seong Hyun-jun muttered in the uncomfortable silence.
“…I’d rather we were wrong.”
To think that a high-ranking demon king could jump out without a sacrifice.
Even if it’s unfair, isn’t it too unfair?
However, Seong Hyun-joon’s small wish did not come true.
Again—
“…!”
I could only guess from the sound of footsteps.
it was hot
Hoyeol had returned to reality from the Arcana continent.
A regular meeting of the Magic Tower.
To avoid missing out on AAU’s general meeting.
Did you even hear the story going back and forth?
I opened my mouth while walking through the crystal hall.
“I commend you for your quest for oddities. That’s the correct answer. They don’t need any special sacrifices to show themselves in the Arcana continent and in reality.”
Before long, he stood upright on the podium and exploded.
“Because I am the Demon King of the Ten Thrones.”
“…?!”
nuclear bomb.
