EP.69 Chapter 69 Everything is for the Demon King.

Spider.

Orc. 

Goblin and troll.

Kobold and gnoll.

Many other monsters began to visit Mir city.

Mir, which until recently was human territory, has now become a base visited by monsters.

"Eek!"

Humans who encountered goblins backed away in fright.

Mir, occupied by the Demon King, coexisted with monsters and humans.

"M-Mommy..."

Young children clung tightly to adults and hid with terrified faces.

Logison, Mir's scribe, sighed as he watched such people.

'Damn it.'

Powerless. 

So powerless.

The roads of Mir that were once bustling with people were now mostly occupied by monsters.

Humans could only watch the monsters strut about as they were pushed back.

Not that humans couldn't walk there, but.

Who would want to?

On the same road as monsters.

Logison's wife and child also hid inside the house, saying they wouldn't be with monsters.

It was a natural choice.

It's natural for humans to feel aversion towards monsters.

The first thing the Demon King's army did after occupying the city was coexistence between humans and monsters.

The Demon King's monsters didn't kill humans. They just made clear examples of humans who resisted them.

Like those heads hanging in the square over there.

"..."

They were the heads of the resistance leader who organized the resistance and his subordinates.

It was a place where criminals' heads were sometimes hung even before the Demon King's occupation.

But that was due to strife between people!

For people to be killed by monsters!

Logison couldn't accept it.

Why must people hide in fear like this?

He couldn't believe it.

But not everyone was terrified.

"Ah, thank you, Demon King."

They were people who used to live in slums and back alleys before the occupation.

They were working for the Demon King with shining eyes, as if happy with the current situation.

As if it was their whole life.

Logison tried to enlighten them, seeing their appearance as if they were missing a screw somewhere.

It was useless.

They were brainwashed by a strange cult called the Demon King's Order.

"Let's all work for the Demon King!"

They worked for the Demon King again today, listening to the words of Amy, a priestess wearing black priestly robes, called a saint in their words.

'Filthy traitors.'

Just then, an orc brushed past Logison.

"Heuuk!!"

Monsters were still frightening beings, but they didn't attack people.

But that didn't mean the fear disappeared.

Because they could change at any time.

The deputy mayor went missing two days ago.

Vilrat.

The politician who first knelt before the Demon King and said he would pledge loyalty to him.

He, who was the leader of the same party as the scribe, put aside all human pride and became the Demon King's confidant.

That Vilrat went missing.

Starting with him, many politicians working in the inner city went missing one by one.

Why?

'Could they have been eaten by the Demon King?'

If not that...

Escape?

Did they run away to request reinforcements from the kingdom?

He didn't know.

The powerless scribe just went to work at the government office again today.

"We need a way."

A way to drive out the Demon King and all those who occupied Mir.

So he went to work an hour earlier than usual today to dig up information on the Demon King's army.

It's fine even if it takes a long time.

Slowly, step by step.

When he arrived at the government office, Lord Vilrat was sitting in the deputy mayor's office doing work.

"L-Lord Vilrat?"

"Oh, Logison, you came early."

"Where have you been? We were looking for you."

"I took a short rest due to health issues."

So he wasn't eaten or escaped?

Logison carefully observed Lord Vilrat.

Something was strange.

"By the way, you worked hard while I was gone. It seems you had a hard time with all the key officials absent due to illness."

"Ah, yes... But what illness was it?"

"What do you mean?"

"If it was bad enough to rest, could it be an epidemic? If we're not careful..."

"No epidemic can stop me."

"Pardon?"

"I who have realized the Demon King's grace am no longer afraid of epidemics."

"Wh-What are you saying?"

"Ah, right. You weren't yet, were you?"

His eyes are strange.

Lord Vilrat's gaze looking at him is eerie.

As if he became a being other than human.

He became an unfamiliar being with something that cannot be shared.

"Wh-What happened?"

Logison instinctively backed away.

This was human instinct.

To survive.

"I just received some simple education. I, who was sick and pitiful, heard the true story about the Demon King."

"Deputy Mayor, you're being deceived. Don't you know what kind of beings they are? They're ugly, filthy monsters!"

"Refrain from such words. We need to understand each other to live together from now on."

Strange.

This person changed strangely too.

I've seen this kind of gaze somewhere before.

Right.

Those said to be brainwashed by the Demon King's Order.

They had exactly that appearance.

"Y-You fell too... You became one with the Demon King!"

"Is it bad to follow the strong?"

"Damn it!"

There's no way.

This person has firmly changed.

I must escape.

If I keep staying in this city, I too will end up the same...

"My, where are you trying to go?"

An eerie yet warm voice was heard from the shadows.

A voice that sent chills down his spine.

At the same time, a soft voice that made him want to be embraced.

"Wh-What? Where..."

"You've come, Lady Vivian."

Vilrat knelt and bowed his head towards the shadow.

"You don't need to show me respect. Lord Vilrat, we are just those who serve the Demon King together."

"I should show respect to the one who taught me the Demon King's greatness. But why have you come?"

"Fufu, it's our scribe's turn now."

From the shadows walked out a woman with a human upper body and spider body and legs.

Sharp spider legs clattered on the floor.

Logison collapsed at the sight of the Arachne, Vivian, approaching on spider legs wearing black priestly robes with the demon's symbol drawn on them.

"Ah, you've already become like that. Congratulations, Logison, you too have been chosen. Not everyone receives such a blessing. The Demon King only wants those with ability."

The Arachne approaches Logison.

Sharp spider legs restrain his arms and legs.

He can't escape.

"S-Save me..."

"Don't worry. I won't kill you. It will hurt a little. Sting."

The Arachne's face comes closer and closer.

Logison shed tears and snot.

His lower body feels warm.

Amidst the smell of urine wafting to his nose, the Arachne's sharp teeth pierced his neck.

"Kuuuk!!!"

His vision gradually darkens.

It's cold.

He needs something warm.

Anything...

In his fading consciousness, Logison saw two holes pierced in Vilrat's neck.

As if bitten by sharp teeth.

Ah.

Only then did he realize.

That he too would become like Vilrat.

I should have... escaped.

When he opened his eyes again, spider webs were covering him.

Spider webs?

And those spider webs entered Logison's ears.

...What is this?

With his arms and legs bound, he can't resist.

He can only move his eyeballs and mouth.

-You'll know too.

A voice was heard through the spider webs.

The sound echoes as if transmitting the voice into his brain.

"Don't do this. You bastards! You said you wouldn't touch humans! Why!"

-We won't touch you. The Demon King is merciful. He's such a wonderful person. He said he would embrace all humans under his rule. But...

The spider webs forming the cocoon scatter and stroke his body like separate fingers.

-We can't just leave anxious elements who dare doubt the Demon King.

"Uuu."

-Don't worry. The pain is only momentary. You'll soon become like Vilrat too. Unable to think of betrayal. You'll become a faithful servant who only thinks of the Demon King.

The spider webs crawl along his skin and enter inside.

"Kuuk!!! Don't. Don't! I won't do it anymore, I won't doubt. I'll be absolutely loyal to the Demon King! So please..."

-There's no law saying those who betrayed once can't do it twice.

-Don't worry. You'll be happy too.

Logison thought of his wife and children he left at home.

"I-I have people I need to protect. My wife and family... Without me..."

-We won't kill them. They won't be harmed either. We're just making you realize. So accept it. Obediently.

An alluring voice tickles his ears.

All he could do was curse.

"Hey! You son of a bitch!!"

It was powerless and empty.

An unknown liquid was injected from the spider webs stuck in his skin.

Babababat!

Gradually, his vision, becomes, dizzy.

Loyalty.

Kingdom.

Aslan.

Mir.

Peace.

Regime.

"Is it bad to follow the strong?"

"Y-You fell too... You became one with the Demon King!"

"Damn it!"

Maintenance.

Success.

Power.

Desire.

Family.

Wife.

Daughter.

Our home.

Numerous words mix with the liquid in his head.

His gaze is empty.

Unknown numbers appear before his eyes.

10%.

What is this word?

The number and strange letters attached after it.

18%...

The number gradually grows larger.

27%...

As that number rises, his consciousness becomes hazier.

It feels like floating in clouds.

It even feels half asleep.

An inexplicable comfort enveloped Logison.

Yet he continued to recall words.

His desires and life goals. And even the things he must protect.

98%

All the words and concepts he recalled mix together and combine into one.

99%

The concept kneaded like clay like that.

-Loyalty to the Demon King.

Fused into one word.

100%

The absolute truth burst from his completely brainwashed mouth.

"Loyalty to the Demon King..."

Crack.

And the cocoon split open.

He was reborn by the Arachne.

As a faithful servant for the Demon King.

"Ahhh, thank you, Lady Arachne..."

Covered in spider web fluid, he bowed towards the shadow with blank eyes.

"For giving such great enlightenment to ignorant me."

"Work for the Demon King's army. That's enough."

Ah, mother.

Thank you for your unconditional grace.

***

"Is Logison the last one?"

I asked while looking at the personnel list and listening to Vivian's report.

"Yes, now all those who might think of rebellion in Mir have been brainwashed."

"Your ability is certainly good."

"It was possible because the Demon King kindly gave instructions."

There was no need to brainwash everyone to rule the city.

Just the minimum necessary people.

The mayor and deputy mayor, the council members and elders constituting the party. And finally the military and guild leaders.

If you brainwash the head, the body and legs will follow on their own.

That's all I needed to do.

Now I just need to watch the brainwashed heads move on their own.

I looked out the window.

Monsters and brainwashed humans, and those who aren't.

Those who haven't harmonized yet were living in their own positions feeling fear, dread, and awkwardness.

There were several times more unbrainwashed humans, but it doesn't matter.

They have lost the will to resist now.

They will live as part of the Demon King's army to preserve their lives.

'That's enough.'

They will live their lives in peace.

I won't care beyond that.

There's no reason for unnecessary killing.

'It's not like killing raises fame points significantly.'

Rather, them being alive will be of greater help to the Demon King's army's growth in the future.

Even if they don't become breeding stock, they can become manpower for the Demon King's army, or make high-quality weapons.

"I wonder if Alcom has arrived."

He will complete his mission as an excellent diplomatic envoy in the Aslan Kingdom.

I sent him knowing the angry king would kill him.

I gave him the joy of youth when he was about to die of old age, so I should receive compensation.

If he doesn't die, that would be his luck too.

"It's sad. Losing a capable subordinate."
