The Successor To The Underworld Is A Cheat Player 80

From Noble mtl dot com

Suddenly, Saint stood before Campegi, looking down at him.

Though clearly much younger than himself, Campegi seemed like a giant compared to him.

Even more massive than the nobles in the center.

“Don’t you dare think of using me, Campegi.”

The heavy voice added to the intimidation.

“Don’t involve me in your games.”

It was unjust.

This was nothing but their amusement.

Why did his friend have to die?

“What does it mean to request aid from Saint Demorus?”

Even though he himself only saw soldiers and knights, the life of a landless man as a mere pawn.

“Survive and pass on the message.”

“….”

“Answer.”

With Sein’s words, Campége nodded, trembling, and replied, “I will keep it in mind.”

“Now, since it’s settled, smile. Don’t delay the payment, make the deposit.”

Sein passed by Campége.

“Can I take one arm?”

Roberta asked Sein.

“Well done. Roberta, that’s how permission should be sought.”

Sein replied, “His arm belongs to you.”

Crack!

As Sein’s words ended, a fountain of blood erupted from one side of Campége frighteningly.

Campége slumped down.

On either side of him, Deren and Roberta also passed by.

Sein was on one knee, bowing his head.

Flinch.

Watching that scene, Tejera, the great head of the Demorus family, twitched her eyebrows.

Different from before.

He knelt with both knees as before, but with the same force.

“Sein Demorus, I have completed the family’s mission and returned.”

This time, Sein was only on one knee.

“….”

This was felt by the Demorus gods and the successors gathered here.

‘How.’

Tejera was a monster.

The seed of a monster could become a monster.

However, the appropriate nutrients and experience were needed in the process.

‘How did he become so strong so quickly?’

Sein’s growth was truly extraordinary.

However, all Tejera did was twitch his eyebrows, resting his chin on his hand, and looking down at Sein with a lazy face as he spoke.

“I’ve seen it.”

At the sound of his voice, Sein almost buckled one knee he was barely holding up.

“They say Tonba’s Lordship has been completely wiped out.”

“….”

“Gaia!”

Then, one of the newcomers spoke for the first time.

Gail, the leader of the Third Forces, was an impressive middle-aged man with a mane-like beard and red hair.

In a world where low numbers meant strength, the Third Forces of Demorus were by no means a light name.

In fact, Gail had competed for succession with the current Lord and was of noble blood.

“Sein Demorus has violated the non-aggression rule!”

And she was Tampia, the second successor candidate of Demorus and the only woman among the candidates, who declared her support.

“Have you not heard what that lad has done?”

At Gail’s words, the Lord slowly turned his head.

The non-aggression rule.

An unwritten agreement tolerated and accepted among each other.

“Who will trust Demorus with territory battles from now on!”

Some of the newcomers nodded at Gail’s words.

No matter how arbitrary Sein’s decision was, the Lords could also consider this as Demorus’ will.

Demorus who ruined their amusement.

“Immediately cancel the 4th District, Otok’s territory battle, as the damage caused by Sein Demorus alone is substantial for Demorus!”

A few more newcomers nodded.

The profit of Demorus, conflicting with its existence.

“Also, the harm done to the peace we have maintained until now!”

Everyone knew about Sein cutting the Lord’s throat in Rasiel.

Everything that had happened so far could be tolerated under the name of Demorus.

Lords of lower districts, easily replaceable parts.

But from the 5th district onwards, under the protection of the Empire.

“It would be a grave mistake to shake the Black and White Treaty! Lord!”

Gail raised his voice even louder, looking at the newcomers who agreed with him.

“Punish Sein Demorus severely at once! Strip him of his successor candidacy…”

“Blah blah.”

Sein spoke up then.

“Nooo!”

The moment Gail’s face contorted with anger.

“Lower your voice.”

Tejera’s voice echoed through the hall.

Thud.

At that moment, everyone knelt down.

Even the one knee that had barely held out had to yield to Sein.

“This is insane.”

Was this not the end of it?

What level was this exactly?

Shivering.

Every inch of the body trembled.

In absolute terror, within it, Tezera spoke.

“Gail. How dare you command me?”

*

*

*

“That’s not it….”

Gail, who had just portrayed an air of invincibility, spoke shakily.

“Did you not order me to strip Sein Demorus of his successor candidacy?”

“Gaju! No! Please forgive me!”

At the moment Gail cried out.

Kwaaang.

A loud noise echoed.

Where Gail stood.

Beside her.

In front.

Thud.

Something that had been Gail was now a mess.

“…..”

Though the messengers of Demorus did not show any expression, one could see clear fear in their trembling pupils.

“Do not dare command me.”

“Gaju’s words are correct!”

The Emperor.

“But Gail’s words were not wrong.”

The tyrant.

It should have been this way from the start.

What if an entity possessing absolute power and absolute strength did not act like this.

If Sein, even he, was like that.

“Sein Demorus.”

“Yes… Gaju.”

Raising his voice properly was a first in this lifetime.

Though he had tried to be fair to everyone.

“Damn it.”

In the face of such absolute power, all of that was useless.

However.

“Please, speak.”

Trembling all over, Sein resisted and spoke to the lord.

“I will give you a chance to explain.”

Is this the price being paid now for neglect and abandonment?

No.

‘Teze is a rational being.’

Sein, who studied and understood Teze, the current lord of Demorus, more than anyone else, knew that understanding the nature and character of the NPC to be manipulated was fundamental.

What Sein did this time.

“Are the lords important?”

Everything was calculated in advance.

A rational being.

But above all, a being who values their own authority.

“If it weren’t for our Dark Guild, they would be parasites who couldn’t even protect their own lives.”

“…!”

The lords’ pupils shook at Sein’s words.

“Since when did Demorus become the target of amusement?”

“As a successor candidate….”

Several elders tried to warn Sein, but Teze raised his hand to stop them.

“Is Demorus a useless place without them?”

“….”

“Dare.”

Authority.

“It was a punishment handed down because Demorus was seen as amusement. In the name of Demorus.”

Sein understood that better than anyone else.

No one in this room would understand it.

They may be someone’s superior, but in the end, they were someone’s subordinate.

Independent from top to bottom.

If you don’t stand at the top.

“If that is a sin, I will accept it sweetly.”

It’s something that will never be known.

“If Demorus’s name must fall to the ground! If seeing that is painful and strange!”

Immersed.

The successor of the Dark Guild.

But a foreigner whose origins are unclear.

Most of those present lined up.

Those who have not yet stood will hesitate to confront Sein.

It’s a natural result based on the win rate.

“Whether you’re a successor or anything else, I will stop it. Peace….”

Snick.

Sein smiled.

“How meaningful is that?”

Those who had gathered started to look at Sein as he spoke.

“Here stands the Amhukga in the midst of struggle. Do you believe that peace without struggle truly benefits the Amhukga?”

It was the beginning.

Snick.

The once languid expression on Tejera’s face blossomed into a smile.

“Choose, my lord. I will follow.”

“Good. Let the judgment be passed on Sein Demorus.”

At that moment, everything turned into a trial.

The price to pay was life.

“A reward is granted to Sein Demorus.”

Success.

– A reward is granted to Sein Demorus.

Sein sighed, recalling Tejera’s words.

“Huh.”

He had thought it all too easy until now.

No matter the knowledge of strategies he possessed, that was a tale from the times of games.

Now that it had become reality, he had anticipated facing such challenges.

“Should I say it’s nice to meet you?”

Tejera.

The current lord of Demorus was not an opponent easily underestimated.

“I doubt you’d find my presence welcoming either.”

Tejera’s reward for Sein.

– 3th Division granted to Sein Demorus.

It was the granting of the 3th Division, which had lost its master, Gaill, to Sein.

Even in Demorus, the 3th Division was highly esteemed.

Each member was a skilled master.

Taking over Gaill’s vacant position as the commander.

“What is your name?”

“I am called Sienjin.”

Sienjin seemed almost at the level of a maxed-out character in Sein’s eyes.

Such power could only be seen in the former royal knights’ ranks.

It was surprising that it was just the 3th Division.

“Although we gathered to greet the new commander, with many tasks at hand, is it okay to be excused?”

The attitude of these individuals, like wild dogs, was also surprising.

Their faces and words clearly showed their opposition towards Sein, the heir apparent.

Snip.

Veins bulged on Sein’s forehead, but he endured it for some reason.

“Kill them all?”

Sein shook his head.

Unless they rebelled, taking on the entire 3rd Division with his current abilities was unreasonable.

“Release them?”

What Tejera provided was the 3rd Division, not the twenty or so members led by Cyanjin.

If he were to release them, leaving only their name behind and recruit new members.

“Sigh.”

Damn it, endure.

That was not what Tejera wanted.

Rather, it was probably what many gods present at the meeting in Gaju that day desired.

If Sein weakened his forces by not properly managing even the division entrusted to him, it was obvious he would be pushed out as a successor candidate.

“Not easy.”

Having come this far, pushing through with sheer force was no longer possible.

It might be possible with greater power, but that was currently out of reach.

Even at this moment, Sein knew he was being evaluated based on their existence.

“I admit you all must feel like dogs.”

Sein addressed them.

“Your former captain turned you into mere chunks of meat with one slip of the tongue, didn’t he?”

Silence.

They didn’t even bother hiding their expressions.

True to their name as the Pack of Injustice, they were very much like beasts.

“But was that my fault?”

“Please do not insult our former captain.”

“Listen.”

Sein grabbed the nape of his neck and continued.
