Suddenly the demon.

Park Hyun-a suddenly appeared at the demon race’s general assembly.

Everyone looked at her with puzzled expressions.

“Wasn’t Park Hyun-a said to have left the Demon King’s Army?”

“I heard she was dead.”

It was publicly known that Park Hyun-a had left the Demon King’s Army for personal reasons.

In reality, she had been forced to leave due to the betrayal of Demon King Tegrad and Onyx.

This was an issue directly connected to the Demon King’s credibility.

Unable to reveal the truth, Tegrad had no choice but to cover it up and conceal it.

“It’s been 5 years. Even after so long, you all still have the same shitty faces.”

As Park Hyun-a calmly entered the conference hall, Dorithugs jumped up.

“Park Hyun-a. How dare you come here! You have no qualifications!”

“What nonsense? I’m also a Corps Commander recognized by the Demon King. Attending the general assembly is my natural right.”

“That’s in the past. The current 4th Corps Commander is Onyx over there.”

Park Hyun-a had left the Demon King’s Army.

So naturally, she had no right to attend the general assembly.

But Park Hyun-a continued walking and speaking without stopping.

“That Onyx is just a temporary worker.”

“Temporary worker…?”

“Simply put, he was just filling in while I was gone.”

“On what grounds are you spouting such nonsense?”

Onyx being temporary?

It was something they’d never heard before.

However, Park Hyun-a had come here having finished all preparations.

“Think about it. Did the Demon King ever officially dismiss me from being 4th Corps Commander? Or was there ever an official declaration that Onyx became the 4th Corps Commander?”

“Of course…!”

Dorithugs, who was about to say ‘Of course there was’, stopped short.

Thinking carefully, there hadn’t been.

‘It felt so natural for Onyx to become Corps Commander that we didn’t notice.’

Onyx had reigned as 4th Corps Commander for a very long time.

Park Hyun-a pushing him out and becoming Corps Commander was only about 5 years ago.

Therefore, when Onyx resumed his position as Corps Commander, no one felt any sense of incongruity.

They naturally thought he had returned to his original position.

However, the Demon King never held an appointment ceremony officially naming Onyx as 4th Corps Commander.

‘Why…?’

The reason was simple.

Because he didn’t want attention focused on Park Hyun-a leaving the Demon King’s Army.

The Demon King betrayed and drove out a Corps Commander he himself had appointed.

It could have potentially undermined the Demon King’s credibility, so he wanted this incident to pass quietly and naturally.

That’s why he didn’t hold an official Corps Commander appointment ceremony.

And now, at this moment, that fact caught up with Dorithugs.

“Of course, there wasn’t. That guy was just a temp handling miscellaneous work until I returned.”

The previous Demon King who could verify whether Park Hyun-a’s claims were true or false was dead and could say nothing.

Finally reaching the 4th Corps Commander’s seat, Park Hyun-a stopped and looked down at Onyx.

“Hey. Why aren’t you leaving?”

Onyx sat in his seat without saying anything.

Since he is wearing his hood pulled down low, his expression couldn’t be seen.

“Want to leave after getting hit? Or just leave? I’ll give you three seconds.”

“…”

“Three, two, one.”

Onyx stood up from his seat and quietly slipped away.

Park Hyun-a sat down in that chair naturally and smiled with satisfaction.

“Should have left earlier, punk.”

Park Hyun-a propped her chin on her hand at the table and looked at 5th Corps Commander Ozges.

“Well! Our 5th Corps Commander, demon race representative, and general assembly chairman, dear bull-head Ozges. It seems only the 4th Corps’ vote remains, is it alright to proceed?”

“I acknowledge Park Hyun-a as the officially appointed 4th Corps Commander by the Demon King and recognize her right to vote.”

Ozges nodded.

With permission granted, Park Hyun-a opened her mouth to cast the final vote.

“Alright. Then I…”

“Don’t be ridiculous!”

At that moment, rough demonic energy burst forth from Dorithugs.

“A human participating in the general assembly to decide important matters of the demon race? And what about those ones you brought along? Aren’t they humans?”

Dorithugs pointed at the companions standing behind Park Hyun-a.

It was Choi Hyun-seok and Sara Dunphy who had come with her.

“These guys? They’re my subordinates.”

“I’m not a subordinate…”

“Ms. Sara. Please be quiet for now.”

Choi Hyun-seok covered Sara Dunphy’s mouth as she tried to say she wasn’t a subordinate.

Then Dorithugs continued his passionate speech.

“Delegates, are you just going to watch this?! This is the demon race’s general assembly. How dare we let humans set their filthy feet here! How far must the demon race’s dignity fall before you come to your senses!”

Several delegates nodded in agreement with those words.

“True. Though Park Hyun-a was a Corps Commander, that’s in the past, isn’t it?”

“Kruk! Certainly, the previous Demon King Tegrad is dead. Letting in a human just because they were recognized by him…”

“Ah, so annoyingly noisy with all your chattering.”

At that moment, terrifying magical power began pouring out from Park Hyun-a.

Rumble rumble rumble…!

Such massive magical power that it made the air tremble.

It was stronger than anyone else present here.

“Wh-what is this…”

Dorithugs’s voice trembled without him realizing it.

Park Hyun-a originally had exceptionally high quality and quantity of magical power.

But now that the quantity had increased by at least double from before, he couldn’t help but be shocked.

This amount not only surpasses himself but even surpasses Hemis.

‘Tegrad. This is the amount he had only in his prime.’

The previous Demon King Tegrad.

A massive amount of magical power comparable to the demonic energy he possessed.

I couldn’t understand why Park Hyun-a possessed such magical power.

“Hmm~? What’s this all about?”

At this moment when everyone’s faces were filled with shock.

Only Hemis was looking at Park Hyun-a with an interested expression while resting her chin on her hand.

“Our 1st Corps Commander.”

Park Hyun-a met Dorithugs’ eyes directly.

“Why is your mouth so long? Fuck, if you’re annoyed, let’s have a fight. That’s our way.”

“…”

“One rule. The one who dies shuts up and follows what the survivor says. How about it?”

Everyone kept their mouths shut as if they had eaten honey.

Everyone here, except for Goblin Master Lerlock, has combat power exceeding 300,000.

In other words, it means they all possess at least legendary-level power.

However, the magical power just felt from Park Hyun-a was on a different dimension.

With that level of magical power, it was threatening enough to be difficult to handle even if simply overwhelmed by force.

While everyone was hesitating at that moment.

Only Dorithugs responded while emitting fierce demonic energy.

“What a pathetic threat. I’ll make you regret those words!”

Dorithugs’s combat power is 650,000.

Looking at just the amount of demonic energy, he is one step below Park Hyun-a, but his overall abilities were actually higher.

In other words, except for the difference in magical power/demonic energy, all other abilities overwhelm Park Hyun-a.

Although he didn’t know how Park Hyun-a came to possess such power, he was confident he would never lose in a one-on-one fight.

“Come out. Let’s settle this.”

“Yeah. Sure. But, I never said it would be one-on-one.”

Along with Park Hyun-a’s words, Choi Hyun-seok and Sara Dunphy standing behind emitted their power.

Then everyone couldn’t help but be surprised again.

“Those guys… Were they legendary?”

“No, one side isn’t magical power but demonic energy. Seems like a demon race…”

Choi Hyun-seok’s abilities had now grown enough to be worthy of being called a Corps Commander.

Additionally, Sara Dunphy possessed even higher abilities than Choi Hyun-seok.

In other words, Park Hyun-a’s side suddenly became equivalent to three or more Corps Commanders.

“These bastards…!”

“Hmm~”

Dorithugs didn’t even have time to be angry.

A strange nasal sound continued from the side.

“Although I don’t like it, I’ll have to take Park Hyun-a’s side in this?”

Hemis looked at Dorithugs with a sneer.

“Park Hyun-a being a Corps Commander was acknowledged by former Demon King Tegrad and Council Chairman Ozges.”

“…”

“So, Dorithugs. What you’re doing now is defying the demon race council.”

Dorithugs had nothing to say.

Because Hemis’s words were right.

So he was planning to push through with the logic of power but…

He ended up being overwhelmed in force as well.

“I’m thinking of supporting that side, want to try if you’re confident?” New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel✦fire.net

Hemis’s smile deepened.

“Kugh…!”

Dorithugs’s tightly clenched fist trembled.

‘Such worthless hybrids…!’

Hemis without a proper bloodline.

Park Hyun-a and her miscellaneous beings who aren’t even demon race.

Compared to himself who comes from the great Gedriken family, they’re nothing but hybrids.

For such hybrids to dare give him such insult.

‘This isn’t demon-like. They’re all nothing if fought one-on-one!’

Hemis?

Maybe in the past, but now that she’s lost power, he can definitely win.

Park Hyun-a?

A fool with only high magical power won’t even be worth mentioning.

The miscellaneous beings behind aren’t even worth mentioning.

Looking at each one individually, he is the strongest here.

The greatest, that is.

“But… But WHY! Why nominate such a pathetic kid as Demon King!”

Dorithugs spewed out his frustration.

“Yeah. Right right. We heard our Demon King candidate’s last tantrum- no, speech well. Very touching.”

Park Hyun-a nodded and looked at Ozges.

“I support Sidriel.”

“Very well.”

Ozges finally summarized the situation.

“Voting results. Dorithugs six votes. Sidriel seven votes.”

He smiled faintly while looking at Sidriel.

“Therefore, I nominate Sidriel as the next Demon King.”

Clap clap clap…

Amidst the silence, only Park Hyun-a’s applause echoed.

And Ozges continued speaking.

“The Demon Race Council’s decision is the will of all demon race. Remember that refusing this is an act of betraying the demon race and at that moment you will turn all demon race into enemies.”

These were words clearly aimed at Dorithugs.

Finally, Dorithugs kicked his chair and left.

“Damn it!”

Everyone only gave him a momentary glance, no one tried to stop him.

The tide had already turned to Sidriel.

The demon race gathered here wasn’t overflowing with enough affection to feel sympathy for a mere loser.

“Thank you everyone.”

Sidriel rose from her seat.

She looked around at the Corps Commanders and council members and said.

“I promise to become a greater Demon King than anyone, and lead the demon race to eternal prosperity.”

Thus, the era of the new Demon King began.

***

After the grand council ended.

The group gathered separately in the garden to talk.

“Older sister. Are you alright?”

“Don’t make me talk. I feel like dying.”

Park Hyun-a’s expression was deeply creased, and cold sweat was flowing down her back.

That’s how terrible her condition was.

Although she released her power as if nothing was wrong in the council chamber, in reality, she did it while enduring pain as if her body was being torn apart.

“Bear with it a little longer. I’ll treat you right away when we return.”

“Ugh… Fuck. Let’s go back quickly.”

Just as Park Hyun-a was groaning.

“Hmm~ It’s been a while?”

A seductive and mesmerizing voice was heard.

At that moment, Park Hyun-a took on a dignified attitude as if she had never been groaning.

Choi Hyun-seok swallowed nervously.

“Lady Hemis…”

“Our Hyun-seok. You’ve grown a lot?”

Hemis approached with a sneer.

Unlike before, she had taken on the form of a beautiful human, so the feeling was quite different.

‘As expected, the person I saw then was Hemis.’

The woman encountered in Scolbon, the capital of the Mariette Kingdom.

For some reason, he thought it was Hemis, and that guess was correct.

Hemis appeared again in the form of that unparalleled beauty from that time.

“Hey, you. What’s with that appearance? Did you get hit with too much holy power and get holes in your brain?”

Park Hyun-a also seemed to be seeing Hemis in this form for the first time.

At her words, Hemis covered her mouth with her snow-white hand and turned her head.

“My~ Such way of speaking. Still as unrefined as ever.”

“Hey. I’m not who I used to be. Move your mouth wrong and it might get torn.”

“Ohohoho! Putting on airs while struggling with power you can’t even properly digest.”

Hemis’s eyes curved into half-moons.

She had accurately seen through Park Hyun-a’s condition.

Park Hyun-a is inwardly flustered but doesn’t show it outwardly.

Rather, she responded with an even fiercer smile.

“Bullshit. You’re the one who feels very different from before? Your demonic energy has decreased by a third. Knowing your personality, you wouldn’t have given it away, so I guess you got beaten up somewhere and lost it? Hm?”

A vein popped up on Hemis’s forehead.

“Ohohoho! A lowly human gets a bit of power and becomes even more arrogant. I should have killed you back then indeed.”

“Fuck, why don’t we try it now!”

Park Hyun-a and Hemis gradually move closer.

Their magical power and demonic energy intertwined, creating an atmosphere so tense it felt like a bomb might explode at any moment.

That’s when Choi Hyun-seok awkwardly smiled and stepped between them.

“Haha… It’s been so long since we met, let’s not do this… Um, let’s have fun conversation! Happy and enjoyable conversation!”

“Why? I’m having so much fun right now.”

“Indeed, isn’t the happiest and most enjoyable thing crushing the head of that orc-like woman? Ohohoho!”

The two still showed no signs of stopping their expressions of joy at the meeting.

Choi Hyun-seok let out a deep sigh.

“Haah… I want to go home…”

Today was particularly a day when he missed his mother.
