ED:

Boom, boom, boom, boom…….

With the sound of heavy footsteps, figures began to appear one by one from the darkness behind him.

“There are a few chimeras, but this time we won’t be able to touch them. Ah! Even dragons are like that. Even if it’s a half-bodied dragon without a heart, wouldn’t it be worth it to hunt a gold dragon if I have these guys to support it?”

“Hmm?”

“Hwiik-!”

As Faust whistled, several big guys behind him began to levitate into the air.

“Go, winged ogres! Help the undead dragon kill the gold dragon!”

Responding to the lizardia’s words, the winged ogres roared and flew toward Bailephus.

“Now, shall we dance? I will kill you at all cost, Alexander.”

“That sounds arrogant.”

There were four-armed trolls, horned cyclops, and more.

The large monsters that the new generation of the Three Musketeers had struggled to deal with were snorting behind Faust.

“Let’s check if it’s arrogance or not. Let’s go.”

Kiyeeeeeeek

All the Demon King’s monsters led by Faust started running toward Alexander.

“Hmmm.”

Alexander’s spear stretched out with a glow.

Boom, boom, boom-! Flash!

The large monsters pulled out nearby trees to use as their weapons, and the horned cyclops tried to catch Alexander by using blink.

Despite being surrounded by over 30 demon noble monsters in a matter of seconds, Alexander did not panic.

“Haha! Great! It shoots lightning from-”

Kurarararat——!

“-Huh?”

Faust clapped! At the moment of the strike, the horned cyclops, who had tried to grab Alexander from behind, grabbed its head.

“What…… what? Why are you doing that! Attack! Even Alexander wouldn’t be able to do much with just one magic shot-”

Bzzzt—! Nugyak——!

Alexander walked, looking only at Faust.

His spear was shining, but he didn’t hold it properly, let alone use a skill.

“-what- how- why?”

However, with each step the emperor took, the demon nobles surrounding him fell one by one.

When the cyclops wrapped its head around its arms, its horn was already gone.

Before the cyclops, who had lost its horn, could attack, its head had already exploded.

The four-armed ogre picked up a whole tree, but in less than three seconds all four of its arms were cut off.

Even the group of trolls that had two upper bodies died before they could even bare their teeth.

Booooom—–!

“uwaa?! wi-winged-ogres…”

When Faust looked sideways in surprise, the winged ogres crashed to the ground with their wings ripped off and heads crushed.

“What- what did you do?!”

Faust could not accurately perceive the situation.

The sound of Bailephus and Kuzgunak’sh’s magic exploding from the sky, and the intermittent sound of Crowley and Igor’s battles coming from both sides disturbed his mind.

But where? There was no particular noise or effect on the battlefield where he was standing!

Alexander didn’t even attack, so why do large monsters keep dying?

Kuwoooo, kuok! Neuk!

“I didn’t do anything, Demon King’s agent.”

“T-then! Then why are they dying! Even if you have a special buff or power for being the 1st in the ranking, this is- this is ridiculous! This is imbalance! This game! I- I even got the hall of fame achievement for Demon King’s Agent! I, I am even the first!”

Faust backed away with a yelp. More than half of the more than 30 demon nobles who showed up proudly.

That’s not the end.

Each time Alexander took a step…….

Faust looked at Alexander with a pained expression worse than when his HP is reduced.

“I have a special buff. I also have a power that only I have. However, I didn’t do anything, Demon King’s agent.”

“Don’t say crazy things! You fucking bastard! I still have the chimeras. Hu,huhu, I still have a lot of undead! Drauf los! Geh Monster!”

Kadududuk, Karararak- grrrrrr…. Along with Faust’s passionate hand movements, the monsters began rushing toward Alexander.

Alexander holding the shining spear finally moved.

“Begone, children of darkness. Brandish.”

Alexander used ‘swing’, a beginner skill that he once used against Pei Wu.

It was one of the basic skills that users who had jobs related to handling spears learned. It was to the extent that it floated around the internet that if swords had the bash skill, spears had the swing.

However, Alexander’s swing was not an ordinary one.

He swung horizontally 360 degrees relative to his body.

As his skill proficiency reached its peak, the handle of the spear drew a huge circle, and all the undead soldiers and dullahans rushing at him were thrown away.

“……That……

Grr- Grrrrr-!

“Given that you are using monsters prohibited by the Common Continental Convention. I will not leave even a trace of you. 50 consecutive thrusts.”

Faust thought of a ‘machine gun’ when he saw Alexander holding his spear handle under his armpit. However, he was clearly human.

But the 50 consecutive spear thrusts fired after that, and the attack that even the movement of the blade and hilt were not properly visible, were literally close to machine guns.

“What.”.

The chimeras were cut into tiny pieces to the extent that it would be more appropriate to describe them as being ground up while standing.

Faust was stunned when he saw the artificially synthesized monsters, which had been broken into smaller pieces and even lost their poisonous acid.

“50 consecutive thrusts. 50 consecutive trusts.” 

Alexander continued to use the skill repeatedly.

His shoulder moved like a machine with a dududu sound, and every time he thrust his spear, one chimera after another got minced finely

.

“I can’t do this! This is nonsense! Demon nobles-”

Faust looked around as he watched the monsters protecting him die without rest.

At that point, there were no demon nobles left.

Not to mention hitting Alexander with an effective blow, Faust couldn’t even get more than two steps closer to him.

All the monsters that harassed Fibiel’s minor cities and castles died.

“This is nonsense! It can’t be- hmm?”

It was then that a bright white light came in from the far end of Faust’s astonished vision, on a terrain that could be called a small high ground.

Although there was no proof, the necromancer, 8th in the ranking, was able to intuitively recognize it.

Why was Alexander, who did not often intervene in the affairs of users, here?

He said that there was a buff for the 1st in the ranking, but as Alexander said, ‘he did not do anything’, why did the demon nobles die?

He shouldn’t have touched it in the first place.

He should have ignored Gaza City.

It was that damned bastard!

“–Ha Leeha!”

Faust regretted it now, but it was all over.

[You have leveled up.]

Leeha: phew, the wrap-up is just right. The demon nobles are done. Alexander-ssi, are you okay?

Alexander: I’m fine.

Leeha: How about Bailephus-nim? Do you need help in dealing with 

Kuzgunak’sh?

Bailephus: You only need to deal with the winged ogres. As long as power is not continuously flowing in from the Fragment of the Demon King, a guy without a heart won’t be able to defeat me!

The red dragon, who touched the taboo that the chromatic dragons wanted but had no choice to avoid, tried to achieve his dream even by sacrificing everything, but in the end he himself became the undead.

Kwakwakwakwa——!

Magic flashed and made noise in the sky above Faust.

“Kneel, Faust.”

The sound was from a cannon.

After arranging all the monsters, Alexander put a spear on Faust’s neck.

The lizardia necromancer, who had been trampled on in every aspect using all-out war and strategic warfare, had no will to resist.

Shwaaa-!

At that moment, a bright light emanated from 

Alexander’s side.

What appeared in place of the light had disappeared was a figure of a man holding a rifle, long and black as darkness.

“It’s been a while, Faust?”

Leeha pulled the bolt, showing his white teeth. Click-!

“You…… did you coax Alexander?”

“It’s a bit of an understatement to say that I coaxed him. It’s called people’s heart uniting to 

enforce justice.”

“……That’s not even funny. Did that crazy bitch cling to you to bring justice? It can’t be.”

“Huh? What are you talking about? Who is the crazy bitch? Who else is a Demon King’s agent?”

“Pwe! Dirty bitch.”

Faust spat at Leeha.

The lizardia’s saliva dripped on the coat Drake gave to Leeha, but he did not look like he felt bad.

On the contrary, he felt that he just received an important keyword as a reward for getting spat at.

[Subjugation of the Demon King’s army]

Content: The death of the Demon King’s army and the Demon King’s agents currently in the continent(78%)

Reward : ?

Condition for Failure: The resurrection of other Fragments of the Demon King other than Blue Beard, death of all the subjugation team members.

Ignoring Faust’s words, Leeha opened his quest window.

Actually, he didn’t even have to meet Faust like this. As he did with Crowley and Igor, he could have just killed Faust without seeing his face.

Even so, the reason Leeha came all the way here was because of the quest completion.

‘A…… bitch? Is there someone else? I’ve never heard of a female player.’

However, he didn’t know.

The fact that Igor was there was something that Leeha hadn’t figured out until Gaza City was destroyed.

“Faust. Who else is the remaining user in the Demon King’s agent?”

“What? Who else? Hahaha! Did you come without knowing that? You must have heard everything from her anyway! She even told you the location of that shitty hideout!”

“Answer Ha Leeha’s question, Faust.”

Alexander thrust his spear into Faust’s neck even harder.

With just a light movement, red blood began to flow from the white lizardia’s neck.

Leeha thought as he watched the dripping blood and Faust’s emotional attitude.

‘He said ‘bitch’ again. Who is it? Not a 

a part of the Demon King’s army. If he’s talking about the hide out-’

The [Hidden Hand].

Does that mean that the identity of the user who played blindfolded chess with Leeha from the days of the national war until now was a ‘woman’?

‘To that extent…… is he saying that there’s a great female schemer? Who the hell- Ram Hwayeon? No, that’s absurd. She’s on the level of Ram Hwayeon, maybe even more…? An NPC? Madam Joo of the Holy Grill is also a woman. No. It is reasonable to say that there is no possibility that 

Madam Ju will now go on a rope between the Demon King and me. What the hell happened?’

It didn’t feel right. Leeha assumed everything he could think of, even the worst-case scenario, but it wasn’t logical.

Of course, there were thoughts that he couldn’t accept himself.

‘Should I assume that there’s also an NPC intelligence guild in Minis?’

The best Leeha could think of was Minis’ NPC woman like Fibiel’s NPC Madam Ju.

It was at that time that Faust opened his mouth, disturbing Leeha’s thoughts.

“Keuk…… 1st place ranker. Alexander, when was the last time you called yourself an emperor, when did you fall under an outsider who’s not as good as these dregs? Huh? If that’s the case, come over to us! Become the Demon King’s agent, your ranking will never drop to the 2nd place! What? If you let me go right now, there would be a considerable gap with Lee Jiwon, so I will kill Ha Leeha and specifically tell the Count to help you gain the same level of strength as me!”

Faust was literally making his last-ditch effort.

It was the opposite of the public evaluation that he was calm, a little cynical, and quick-witted,  which was widely known.

And that appearance gave Leeha the confidence.

‘Once I look at Alexander’s reaction to that, it’s clear. There are no more Demon King’s agents among the users. I would have rather killed myself if there was. Anyway, if even one Demon King’s agent is still alive, our quest will not be completed. Of course, he doesn’t know the quest details, but…”

He would have had the guts if he had something to believe. No, on the contrary, if Faust had been an ignorant type, he would have been bluffing.

However, the disadvantage of smart users was that they had no choice but to show a pure side in terms of their own bodies, as Faust had done.
