ED:

Leeha was also curious about the identity of the hidden hand, but that wasn’t what was important to him at the moment.

Now that he had gotten a piece of information, he had to investigate again.

Leeha asked for the location of the most important NPC in this quest.

“Where is Bluebeard, Faust?”

“Hehe, what the hell are you? Did you just come to catch me without knowing anything?”

Faust eyes burned as he glared at Leeha.

“Just answer the question-”

Seeing that, Alexander gave strength to his hand that held the golden spear again, when a woman’s voice was heard from the left.

“Your eyes.”

Pachachachat-

It was then that Faust’s ‘eyeballs’ froze.

“Kuwaaaak! What, what is this?!”

“Don’t look at oppa like that.”

“C-crazy- ‘blindness’ abnormal status? What kind of skill do you have!”

“Her magic is always unexpected, so don’t try to guess.”

Ram Hwajung blasted the lizardia’s eyes and partially froze them using Freezing. It was to the extent that Kidd shook his head in admiration for her delicate mana control.

“Ah, I also got an achievement because Igor is ranked 3rd. It’s really amazing.”

“Does it make sense that you’re the only one who’s getting the good things? It was me who actually put him on the verge of death!”

“Since the chain lightning hit first and I got the last hit, of course, I am the one to get it, what are you talking about?”

And on the right side, Lee Jiwon and Luger were bickering.

Shyuuuuk-! Even Bailephus, with shining golden armor, landed next to Faust in humanoid form.

“Keuu, euuuu- you bastards! Do you think the count will leave you alone when he returns?! The demon king’s army will never die! It will only disappear for a moment!”

All the noises and voices around him instilled even stronger fear in Faust, who had become blind.

Faust was desperate in front of the Demon King’s army subjugation team, which directly produce an effect similar to a mind-related magic often used by users with demon-related jobs.

“I asked where Bluebeard is.”

“Kilkil, you madman. How would I know that?”

“What?”

“You will all die. The moment the count returns, all of you will be finished!”

Hearing Faust’s prattle, Leeha felt an ominous feeling.

‘……No way……?’

Gulp.

It was a question he had while watching the quest progress.

The quest will end when all of the Demon King’s army were killed. All of Demon King’s army. In other words, he thought that the final boss, Bluebeard, remained.

But what about this progress?

It was already at 78%!

‘Faust isn’t dead yet. Considering that when Igor and Crowley died and the progress rose by 

16% and 14% respectively, it can be assumed that it will progress by 20% for Faust. But Bluebeard can’t be only 2%, right?’

Still, Leeha kept asking Faust if there was still someone else.

However, what was Faust’s reaction just now?

Leeha finally found the answer.

“……Bluebeard is not here.”

“Uhihihihi, Kuhuhuhuhu. Gold dragon! Are you listening?! What happened to my undead dragon?”

“Kuzgunak’sh is now in eternal rest. You will no longer be able to control him with your filthy mana.”

“Kilkilkil, would you look at this. Neither the dragon, nor Alexander, none of you bastards know anything! Uhahahaha! In the end, I will be the winner! I am Bluebeard Count Le’s first servant!”

Faust laughed madly as he heard Bailephus’ solemn voice.

It was a feeling close to the exhilaration of being the only one who knew a secret.

“……Alexander-ssi’s disease is not easy, but you’re the same as well. You’re calling Bluebeard ‘count’ until the very end. Do you really like being in the Demon King’s army?”

Leeha shook his head and asked.

Faust opened his mouth, still unable to open his frozen eyes.

“You bastards would understand if you knew how many stats and what achievements I got. Didn’t I tell you, bastards? It is to get stronger! I can do anything to get stronger in Middle Earth!”

Faust shouted.

Without being able to see, he turned around and tried to feel something, even his head.

It wasn’t that his words were unreasonable. Leeha also understood.

“That’s right. It is Middle Earth”

“W-What?”

The obsession to become stronger, stat points, and items would have been a great advantage to join the Demon King’s army.

“Still. At least… I didn’t come to get you just because you’re part of the demon king’s army. Well, of course, quests are important.”

“Then why…”

“Why you ask? For personal reasons. Don’t you know it well?”

Leeha lifted the Black Bass. And put the rifle to Faust’s forehead.

The lizardia was startled as the cold muzzle touched his skin. But he couldn’t run away.

It was because all sorts of magic had already been cast on him, including Bailephus’ bind, Ram Hwajeong’s freezing, and Lee Jiwon’s paralysis.

“Keuu- damn it- daaaaamn it!”

“Faust-ssi. Whether you became the Demon King’s agent or not has nothing to do with me. However…… you shouldn’t have touched Gaza City.”

“You- you-”

Pheeeew…….

Leeha took a deep breath and finally opened his mouth.

“It is revenge for the Gaza knights and NPCs who died in ‘my city’, who could never be revived.”

“Ha Leeha, youuuu——!”

Baaaang———-!

The fanfare rang out as soon as the white lizardia’s head completely disappeared. Babam-!

[Achievement: Ranker Hunter(Top10) – 8th Rank, “Faust”(A)]

Congratulations!

You killed the 3rd of Middle Earth’s top 10 highest-level users.

I hope you didn’t kill him by luck. He might come back to steal the achievement of ‘Ranker Hunter’! Please be careful!

Effect: 34 temporary stat points(will be recovered when you get killed by the ranker you hunted)

(This achievement does not have a hall of fame.)

Watching his corpse slowly turn gray, Leeha opened the quest window again.

[Subjugation of the Demon King’s army]

Content: The death of all the Demon King’s army and Demon King’s agent in the current continet(98%)

Reward : ?

“As expected… Everyone, it’s over.”

“Hmm?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Bluebeard is-”

“No. It’s over. If Fernand-ssi finds the few remaining monsters from the demon noble clan that haven’t arrived yet…. everything will be over. After the quest is over, I will tell in the Holy City. I’m a bit tired now.”

Leeha smiled.

He commanded three battlefields at the same time, 

and used more than ten magazine shells to cover Alexander.

It really took a lot of concentration in a short amount of time.

On top of that, Leeha felt as if his brain had been fried to the point where he had to expend all of his strength to interrogate Faust and dig up information.

“Drink this and rest. Oppa.”

“Oh, no, that- I did not lose any HP-“

“It’s Grand Recovery.”

“No, no. It’s more like a status abnormality. “

“Haste, Quick, Strength-”

“Uwaa, uwaaa?!”

Even though Leeha didn’t say anything special, all kinds of potions, buffs, and healing magic were cast on him after he said that he was tired.

In other words, the hearts of all the people gathered by Leeha, who had planned and carried out the perfect strategy while brilliantly leading the Demon King’s subjugation team, were expressed.

It took about two or three days for Fernand to find the trace back all the traces of the already dead demon nobles through all parts of Fernand and after that

Leeha took care of all of them.

[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(100%)

Reward : ?

They had finally satisfied all the conditions for subjugating the Demon King’s army quest which was received from the Pope.

‘Damn it……. That word bothered me from the start.’

Bluebeard was nowhere to be seen. It’s obviouse, there’s no way he’s dead.

Nevertheless, the quest was cleared.

‘[The current continent]……. That’s what is next after all.’

A chapter on this continent, where the kingdom of humans is located, had barely been put together.

“Is it all over now?”

“T-then. It’s really over. I’ll take care of it now

. I am really sorry.”

Leeha had no choice but to calm Ram Hwayeon down with an awkward smile.

It’s been another 3 days since Leeha left Gaza City to find, pursue, catch, and achieve 100% of the conditions for the Demon King’s agent.

In the meantime, Ram Hwayeon managed and restored the city without logging out once.

To the extent that when Leeha came back the city had changed beyond recognition.

“……Okay. Well, I’ll let you off the hook this time..”

“Huh? Aren’t you mad?”

“Hwaya, of course I am! ……. My Hwajung is also involved in this incident, right? I’. Ha Leeha, she said you told her to keep it a secret, but she didn’t even tell me! Tsk, how surprised I was to find out that the ranking had changed.”

“Huh? What?”

One of the requests Leeha made while receiving the quest from the Holy City was to keep it a secret.

Did Ram Hwajung not tell her own sister?!

It showed how much Ram Hwajung trusted Leeha.

‘It should be said that she is pure…… no, wait. But what has changed?’

Ram Hwayeon laughed as she saw Leeha’s eyes widenRam Hwayeon

“Hehe, thanks to that, people flocked to Castle Dale and other cities to see Hwajeong! Tsk, I was going to ask you to give me something big for restoring the city, but isn’t this something I should be thankful for?”

Ram Hwayeon smiled brightly and tapped Leeha’s shoulder.

This was the biggest change that happened after killing all of the Demon King’s army. In this extremely difficult game, it was never easy to reverse once a decision had been made.

The rankings have changed!

‘Ram Hwajeong, ranked 9th, and Faust, ranked 8th! Faust died and leveled down. And Kidd said that Ram Hwajung leveled up by killing monsters and crowley’s giant golem! I-is that why they switched places? Are their level difference that 

close?’

Of course, that wasn’t the only reason. It was also because of  severe ‘Death Penalty of the Demon King’s Army’, which Leeha did not know yet.

Because the penalty of ‘3 levels down’ was applied, the position of Faust and Ram Hwajung switched.

[You received a mail. Please check your mailbox]

That said, the death penalty for Demon King’s Army was not limited to Faust.

It was applied to all Demon King’s agents such as the dark magicians and others that Faust had seduced that had rebelled against him.

Pei Wu: Ni hao, Ha Leeha-daehyung. I wanted to meet and talk to you, but I don’t know when you will be available, so I’m conveying my feelings through letter.

Leeha: Huh? Pei Wu-nim?

Pei Wu: All members of Hwangryong have gathered. I heard that there is a problem in the recently appointed city you are appointed as a lord, so if you need any force, 

please feel free to contact me or the guild master of Hwangryong. We will do our best to be of your strength any time.

Leeha: Huh? What? What do you mean by that so suddenly?

Pei Wu: Such humility with daehyung’s status. I would like to express my thanks once again. Xie xie!

Pei Wu’s whisper was suddenly cut off. There was no need to ask the person concerned.

“Excuse me…… Ram Hwayeon-ssi? By any chance, Pei Wu-nim-”

“Ah! Right. Yes, Pei Wu and Igor’s ranking also switched. How many months has it been? They made such a fuss after finally taking back the 3rd rank! It appeared on public broadcasting news, recovering the pride of a great country! Doing such a thing.”

In reality, it was surprising yet happy news for Leeha, who was too busy sleeping to watch the news or the community.

“The pride of a great country…. Haha, that’s interesting”

Leeha released a laugh.

It was the reason why Pei Wu whispered and 

even sent an email to express his gratitude to Leeha.

It was because he was not a member of the Demon King’s Army subjugation team, but he enjoyed the tremendous benefit of rising in the rankings and being broadcasted.

Kidd: What are you doing? We agreed to meet in front of the Holy City. Are you proud to be the lord of the castle?

Leeha: Is everyone gathered? Okay, I’ll go now!

Leeha listened to Kidd’s whisper and activated the crystal ball. Ram Hwayeon didn’t get flustered when she saw it now

.

“Finished?”

“Yes. I will go to the Vatican to see the Pope now, I think nothing will happen for a while.”

“Okay. I’ll prepare the handover document. It is what you need to do Ha Leeha, even a 3-year-old child can figure out what to do.”

“I don’t think a 3-year-old could but…… anyway, thank you very much.”

What would it have been like without Ram Hwayeon?

No matter how good Leeha was, he still was inexperienced in terms of administration and operation

.

The city would have been more impoverished and the lives of residents’ NPCs would have become more difficult while running here and there to catch the Demon King’s agent.

However, what about now?

Nearly 80% of it was restored in comparison to before Faust’s attack, and the remaining 20% was something that would naturally be filled over time.

Leeha’s sincerity also reached Ram Hwayeon.
