chapter 38
Jin Ma Hwang.
It reigns but does not rule.
Although he cannot exercise his power because he is bound by the law of the Codex, the Demon King who received the grace of the Emperor was able to break free from the restrictions of the Codex.
In other words, the descending of the Emperor Jinma Hwang was closer to creating a constellation rather than establishing a king.
When Balaxas dies and the Demon Realm is in crisis, the Codex descends to create a Demon King free from him.
That was Jinma Hwang.
So, these five successors were in favor of the advent of the Emperor Qinma without a second thought. Because he was not a threat to his kingship, but rather a supporter who strengthened him.
“The introduction was long. Then let’s get to the point. About how to make Bongpal Park, the warrior who killed Balaxas, descend into the true Demon Hwang. Lyudmila, let everyone know the contents of the Advent ritual written in the Codex.”
Lyudmila politely bowed at the command of Haides. According to the law, in the absence of a demon king, the first in the succession line took over the role of the demon king. So, I had to show an example of how to treat the Demon King. She cleared her voice and turned to the pages of the Codex.
“The codex says: In order for Jinma Hwang to descend, you first need someone who killed Balaxas. And, we need 5 sacrifices.”
“Sacrifice?”
“It is said that either the five lovers who are closely related to the hero should be sacrificed, or the heirs of the 5th highest demon king should be sacrificed. Additionally, these offerings are said to be interchangeable.”
“If you are a lover… ”
“You’re probably talking about the friends of the Brave Party who betrayed Bong-Pal Park.”
Lyudmila just cut it off. Here, Bongpal felt uncomfortable for a moment. It was because he had asserted that he had betrayed her despite knowing Leticia’s story. But I didn’t dare say it.
“It’s a lover’s corpse, so the offering is very special.”
Hydes shook his head and said.
They didn’t know, but the reason the Codex’s directive was like this was simple. This is because the Jinmahuang content itself was prepared as an additional scenario when the heroines were subjected to NTR. After watching the NTR ending, the save data of the previous episode descended to Jinma Hwang, and it was structured to fight the main character of the current episode. This was canceled due to strong opposition from users, and remained as dummy data. But now this scenario is happening because of the twisted causality. Even though it’s not really an NTR, and Park Bong-pal has no plans or intentions to take revenge.
“I’d like to hear a little more detail about the fact that they are interchangeable.”
Lyudmila answered Astarot’s request with a smile.
“If you can’t kill the lovers of the Brave Party, you can replace the sacrifice with the essence of the Heir. For example, if you succeed in killing 3 people and fail to kill 2 people, you can sacrifice the essence of the two heirs to summon the True Demon Emperor.”
“Hmm, the Codex has a very strange precaution in place. I don’t think there’s anything to write about, though. They’re the remnants of the hero’s party, so I tried to kill him anyway, but it worked.”
Belial smiled, showing her teeth. Even if the Codex had not specifically requested it, the Demon Realm had no intention of keeping the remnants of the Hero Party alive. The assassination squad had already been organized. Belial’s smile was erased by Lyudmila’s next words.
“So I want to make a suggestion here.”
“Say it out loud.”
“How about replacing the upcoming battle for the throne with this Jinma Hwang Advent ceremony?”
“What?”
Belial thought this was an overpass. Despite his angry growls, Lyudmila continued.
“One for each successor, a designated sacrifice is obtained and offered on the altar.”
“What if it fails?”
“Then you pledge to offer your essence instead. Then, in any case, Jinma Hwang will be resurrected. From a grand succession perspective, is there a better succession battle for the Demon Realm?”
“Where the f*ck is this rat kid! I’m here to tell you… ”
Belial screamed again. To dare to bring up the word sacrifice of the essence was synonymous with the statement to sacrifice one’s life. It didn’t seem like it would be cool to tear it apart and kill it on the spot. But his anger subsided because of Astaroth’s message in his head.
[It’s stupid. ]
[ What? ]
[This is an opportunity for us. If we play succession normally, do you think we who are 4th or 5th can win? Rather, we should be grateful for giving this justification. ]
“… I’ll give you a reward! Brave comments, very good! You are a model for the staff!”
Hearing Astaroth’s words, it was plausible. If it wasn’t for this extra-decision game anyway, there was no chance of victory for him. Belial hastily changed his attitude and praised Lyudmila.
“Lyudmila, who made a proposal that is difficult to come up with only thinking of the Demon Realm, I will reward you.”
Astaroth also laughed and fired support shots. Lyudmila only bowed politely to greet. Surprisingly, Glassil, Alfonzo, and Heides also accepted this offer. Since the successors of the lower ranks were delaying the final match one by one using the excuse of the method, we should not miss the opportunity now that they agreed. Because there was such a consensus.
“Then, who will kill which lover? Let’s draw a lottery.”
Glassil created a roulette wheel in the air with magic. The names of Ren, Elaine, Nael, Karin, and Leticia were written on the roulette wheel. Soon, the roulette wheel began to spin, and assignments began to be made as to which successor would kill which heroine.
The results were as follows.
Astaroth, Elaine Enfield.
Belial, Nael.
Glasalabolas, Len Sonnet.
Alfonzo Lufraint, Karin Lufraint.
Hydes, Leticia Asglimt.
When the assignments were all over, Belial looked at Alfonzo and went mad.
“Kahhaha, that’s a masterpiece. Your sister got caught!”
“I am very interested in other people’s family affairs.”
“Why don’t you just give up and take out your heart and give it to me? Then maybe you can save your brother!”
“Shut up.”
Alfonzo said coldly. It’s not fun to make fun of. With that in mind, Belial decided to gently praise Hydes this time.
“By the way, did that woman named Leticia say she was here? I’m terribly unlucky. I mean, he’s caught by Hydes. Soon they will turn into pieces of meat without a trace and be brought to this altar.”
Park Bong-pal, who had been observing the situation in his mind until now, was awakened when he heard those words.
These guys right now, in order to do the advent of the True Demon Hwang or something,
He was trying to kill his comrades.
Even Leticia.
‘Wow, you have to stop it! Well, I have to do something!’
Bong-Pal Park’s head began to spin at a speed he had never experienced in his life. He swallowed his saliva and raised his head, speaking in a voice as dignified as possible.
“Wow, so what happens when everyone succeeds?”
Silence came in the hall. A cold sweat ran down Park Bong-pal’s face. It was Park Bong-pal, who had suffered a lot because of this way of speaking. But, I couldn’t keep my mouth shut.
In the frozen silence, Hydes spoke softly.
“That talk… ”
“It is very dignified.”
“Right.”
Glasalabolas accepted the words with a grin. Heides nodded in agreement. Belial also smiled and helped out.
“Kahhaha, you look like a man!”
It wasn’t a joke, it was the truth. Come to think of it, Lyudmila also did not respond to this tone of voice. This happened because the aesthetics of demons and humans are completely different. Alfonzo, a former human, was the only one with a frown on his face. Reassured, Bong-pal Park gained courage and began to tell the plan he had just devised.
“Wow, all of you here are strong, so if you just kill them, they will all succeed. So the throne cannot be decided. Additional rules are needed to determine the throne.”
That was correct. Glassil nodded. Park Bong-pal continued to speak.
“Wow, I want an opera-like, solemn revenge drama that is very thick and slow-paced, like a drop of water pierces a rock. I want total destruction. It’s just that, sending an assassination squad to kill them with mean tactics, poisoning them, or anything like that is for envoys.”
“Kahhaha, I like it! Truly my friend! You have the same thoughts as me!”
Belial laughed and heard the backlash. Park Bong-pal continued to say.
“It’s about taking revenge by completing a scenario that is like a novel! Those women are still weak. If you just have to kill the weak, what’s the point other than anger! You must thoroughly regret your past, become exhausted and die trying to be forgiven! Please complete, practice, and show a scenario with such a long storyline and development process. Then, I will evaluate the level of perfection and decide the fate of the throne.”
Astarot thoughtfully reflected on Park Bong-pal’s proposal. What she thought was not right. Whether the proposal is beneficial to you or not. There was only one.
‘Please complete the perfect revenge drama like the scenario. I will decide a king based on that perfection. Is that so?’
Astaroth groaned as she pushed out her big breasts. She had confidence.
‘under. As the author of the best-selling ‘Successful Story of a Villain’, it’s too easy for me. You did a good job posting anonymously. Had I known, no one would have agreed.’
Astarot loudly helped Park Bong-pal’s words.
“The wrath of Park Bong-pal, who will soon become the real Demon Hwang, is our anger! Furthermore, it must be a sorrow for all of us! I will do my best to quell that sorrow, I, Astaroth, swear here!”
The atmosphere was moving towards an atmosphere in which everyone agreed. Park Bong-pal hastily added the condition.
“And order! The order matters! When one person is running, no one else can do it! Because I want a beautiful revenge play like an orchestra concerto! But, I’ll let you interfere! It is very welcome to check each other and to interfere with each other by plotting! Because that adds to the tension of the play!”
It was an absurd sound. It was the sound they brought out to prevent and delay the killing of the heroines as much as possible. Park Bong-pal wanted these guys to fight for the devil as much as possible and then come up with the idea of a sheepdog. Only then will Leticia be able to survive.
However, all of the heirs had already fallen in love with Park Bong-pal for their own reasons. Astarot and Belial started to agree with Bongpal Park’s proposal one by one. When all the heirs agreed, Lyudmila unfolded the codex.
“Well, it looks like it has been decided. The content of the battle for the throne is ‘The Advent of Jinma Hwang’. By killing their assigned lover, and in case of failure, they sacrifice their essence to the Emperor Jinma. Everyone, please make an oath.”
At the codex that Lyudmila offered, the heirs of the Demon King bit their thumbs and bleed and bleed. Soon, the conditions proposed by Park Bong-pal were written in the Codex, and had the same coercive force as Gears.
At the same time as the ceremony for the advent of the Emperor Jinma, the battle for the throne of the Demon King had begun.
Closing the book, Lyudmila said with a pretty smile.
“Then, glory to all the demons here. Glory to Jinma Hwang Park Bong-pal.”
After those words, cheers like thunder started pouring out of the battlefield. All of them were calling Bong-Pal Park’s name.
“Park Bong-Pal! Park Bong-pal! Park Bong-Pal!”
Park Bong-pal, who got up unsteadily, responded to the cheers with his arms wide open. Her lips were trembling with determination.
‘Wow, I’ve been living like garbage until now.’
Even if there was a story in which he couldn’t awaken Gramhilt’s power, it was his job to neglect his training. Park Bong-pal has been living like garbage, ignoring responsibility and making fools of everyone.
‘Because that wasn’t enough, I betrayed the trust of my colleagues and was jealous of the Red Mage who saved my life, so I even did something ungrateful. They tried to conspire and intercept the achievements.’
All the bad feelings towards Jain were caused by Leticia. Now that he realized that was a misunderstanding, Park Bong-pal felt infinite guilt even for Ja-in. Knowing that if he hadn’t joined the Demon Continent, the Hero Party would have all turned into cold corpses and lay down on the Demon Continent.
In fact, Park Bong-pal did not know, but that was the reason why Jain, who had been hesitant to join the party, joined. It was because the ending of the massacre was obvious if left unattended.
‘But, even in such an ugly and incompetent country, there were people who loved it. There was someone who believed in me who didn’t believe me either.’
Bongpal Park clenched his fists, remembering the tears Leticia had shown.
‘But I don’t want to continue living as such a garbage man. Now for my atonement. And, to repay the love she has shown. Even in such a weak country, there must be something that can be done.’
In the end, the fight between the red mage and the heroines was all misunderstandings and misunderstandings stemming from their own faults.
Bongpalman Park knew the reason clearly.
Therefore, there was a certainty that the heroines and Jain would eventually resolve the misunderstanding.
There was a belief that if they were in danger, Jain would protect them.
Because it was that kind of person who had been watching all the time.
‘To be able to do that, in this place, pretending to be Jinma Hwang like now, and interfering with him, helping Jain.’
I felt that it was something I could do, and that it was my duty.
Bong-pal Park, who was finally convinced, waved his arms and shouted loudly.
“Wow, that’s right. I am for Jin Ma Hwang Park Bong Pal!”
Once again, cheers and applause poured in.
Behind the throne, Lyudmila was stroking Britra’s head and smiling strangely.
