The Awakening of a Demon Lord (9)
The affection of the three adventurers immediately fell to zero. And among them, someone threw a stone at me with all the strength they could manage. With a * thuck * the stone hit my forehead. The stone contained a great murderous intention. He probably wanted to kill me with this. But, unfortunately, the aim was a little wrong, so it only tore my forehead a little as it flew by.
"——This was not right."
Forgive me for telling you, but this was your last chance to hit me. If you had thrown a little better, maybe I would have died. Perhaps you had achieved the happy ending in which 'The adventurers defeated the Demon Lord'. The chance was very small, but it really did exist.
"Not on the side of my head, but here."
I pointed to the middle of my forehead with my finger.
"® ¥ © €, ~] ^ ¬ ÷ ¦;> ────!"
And it was at that moment that the monster attacked them from behind. The golem, which has been lying curled up like a rock until now, stretched out its arms.
It was the final battle.
Please do your best to resist Sir Bruno. You are the first person to push my head on the floor in the last 10 years. I was swearing to make you pay for a long time.
Adventurer, Cowardly Spoiler, Bruno de Ramos. Star Zodiac Calendar: Year of the Lion 9/17/537. Demon Lord Gremory's castle.
Impossible. This is impossible.
Who is this guy? It has a completely different atmosphere than before. Where did the man who kept his head drooping like a shit go? Who is this guy giving such a shameless smile ... !?
"Kuaaaaaah!"
Shit, one more died.
It was especially bad that the golem came from behind. Someone had already died before we could even react. We did our best to fight with only two people, but ... Fuck.
The weakness of inexperienced adventurers was revealed here. The other adventurers were very nervous and were unable to help me properly. Those retarded. Enthusiasm becomes a real poison during combat. How come they haven't punched you in the head yet !?
... No. I brought these newcomers to the Demon Lord's Castle. I was blinded by greed and ended up making a mistake. At the time, I didn't think I was wrong. I kept telling myself it was a good idea. In the end, it was my idiocy that brought this disgrace ...?
The Demon Lord's cynical words were right. We were very careless. Shit. But know, I don't plan on dying that easy!
After all, I'm still a professional when it comes to surviving. I will resist until the end, even if I have to humiliate myself.
"II surrender!"
I threw my sword and shield away.
The man in front of me uttered an "Oh?" And raised the corners of his lip. The smile came with incredible naturalness to him. This was probably his real self; cold-blooded, merciless, and more sinister than anyone else.
"Look if you're not being well-behaved, Captain Bruno de Ramos."
"I will do whatever you want to spare my life. II really didn't know. That Your Excellency was such a terrifying person. Please, I beg of your mercy. "
I did my best to show a pathetic feature.
It was obvious what was going on in your head, Demon Lord.
You won and I lost. The positions suddenly reversed. The Demon Lord who was pretending to be a loser until now, has finally managed to turn the situation around.
You are probably excited and excited. Of course, you will want to enjoy this as much as possible. Enjoying his victory, humiliating me all he wants.
"I was a foolish fool. I beg your pardon, honorable Demon Lord! Please have mercy on this inferior human and be merciful! I will never set foot in Your Excellency's territory again ...! "
I hit my forehead repeatedly.
I didn't care if the method was loud and pathetic. It was even better that it was noisy. The most important thing was to satisfy his ego. And then, the Demon Lord gave a distorted smile.
"I understand. If you want to apologize, then cut your hand off. "
"Mi-my hand?"
"Yes. Do this and I will let you live. I will also not cut your arms or legs. "
The Lord laughed.
"Kunkunkunkunkun… Think carefully. In fact, I'm losing out on this deal. "
Those were exactly the words I used to ridicule you before. Those words came back to me like an arrow. I gritted my teeth, almost broken.
But this was an opportunity. I could draw a gun without worrying about arousing suspicion.
"Of course. I will gladly cut my hand. Thank you for forgiving me. Thank you very much, honorable Demon Lord ... "
I took the dagger from around my waist.
As I stood up and daggered in the air as if I were going to lower it over my hand, I got up and ran towards the Demon Lord anyway.
What a naive Demon Lord Gremory, you showed an opening!
"Haaaaaaa!"
I ran while screaming. I'm sorry to say that, but I have a talent for controlling people's psychological. It is your fault for being too confident and letting your guard down just because you are so close to winning.
Gremory might even be holding a long sword, but it was too late to get into a decent posture. The golem will probably not be able to react in time. Even if there is a reaction to my back or the front, I will be the first to stick this dagger in that wretched Demon Lord!
I put even more strength and hit forward and ...
My body stopped just before reaching it.
"Uhiik !?"
I ended up making a strange sound. My foot suddenly stopped. When looking down I saw a bluish slime wrapped around my right foot.
I couldn't hold back the momentum I was running with until a second ago and fall firmly forward. I groaned as I tried desperately to get my foot out of the slime. He didn't even move.
1 second, 2 seconds passed before my mind could understand what happened. Since when did he prepare something like that slime? Don't tell me that, from the beginning? Don't tell me that he knew from the beginning that I would pretend to surrender?
Then, something big crushed my body.
"Kuuaah!"
The golem slammed its fist against my lower body. Obviously, my legs were destroyed, and my waist along with them. I could feel my bones breaking very well. The intense pain made everything distorted and dark.
Something was coming out of me. Was it blood? It could very well be my guts. No matter what, it was my end. I have never experienced anything like dying before, but for some reason I was very sure that 'I will die here'.
"Fuck…"
I threw up blood. I couldn't even join forces to speak. A blurry shadow appeared in my vision that was getting dark. The shadow moved, and then a blade penetrated my throat.
To make sure I would die.
Isn't that a little exaggerated to do with someone who is already destined to die?
Before everything got dark I managed to see his face for a moment. He was looking at me and smiling.
"——Go back to your dad's balls and try again, beginner."
He had a devilish smile.
So it's like that.
This is how the race known as Demon Lords is.
Kuhhh. From the start, this was a monster that a weak adventurer like me should never go after. We were being hunted, not him. I was stupid to forget my position in the food chain ...
An animal unable to recognize a predator, the only fate that awaits it is death. I vowed never to face monsters in my life as a looter, but I ended up facing the most terrible of all monsters.
My vision went black. Even after death, I will probably continue to regret my idiocy ...
Demon Lord Excluded, 99th Rank, Demon Lord Gremory. Star Zodiac Calendar: Year of the Lion 9/17/537. Demon Lord Gremory's castle.
"Haaaa"
After making sure that Bruno was dead, I let out a long breath.
Ended. I crouched down and sat on the floor. I felt like my extremely sensitive nerves had gone to a spa and were relaxing. It's the effect of having used my brain at full power for 3 hours straight.
After going online and entering the game I was played in a different world. It was a shock that I became a Demon Lord in a world where the 'hero' is the protagonist, moreover, I discovered that I was the weakest Demon Lord, Gremory. Without being able to understand exactly what was happening, I had to face a group of adventurers and eventually manage to kill them all.
It all happened in 3 hours. It was obvious that my brain would be so exhausted. Thanks for your effort, my brain brilliantly fantastic. You worked so hard that some cells probably evaporated.

The words that were in the corner of my eye were shining brightly.
The letters broke into small white particles and then formed other sentences.

[A cruel and merciless decision!]
[Infamy slightly increased.]

"It was not a cruel decision, it was a wise decision."
I exclaimed in response.
So how am I supposed to deal with a bunch of invaded people determined to kill me? Should we hold hands and sing songs about how we are all one? What a funny joke.

"Wow, that's a lot ..."
I looked at the list tiredly.
The desire to fall to the floor and take a nap weighed on my conscience.
I was originally not a sincere human. I was someone who revered laziness. Can't you see that due to the fact that I moved to a remote neighborhood and just gave up the duties of royalty and nobility to live my life in peace and tranquility? I worked too hard today!
"Uh, I think it will be the one that I will choose ... We will choose the ... Demon christening of the Grand Demon Lord."
I spoke as if I was trying to send a friend who was bothering me away.
To be able to see the map of the cave was probably the Eyes of the Horizon, to be able to move money from the safe whenever I wanted was probably the Empty Pocket Dimension, to be able to summon monsters freely was the Desire of the Great Golden Star. They were all tempting.
However, their most powerful ability was to increase my number of servants as quickly as possible. Being able to make them evolve was one of the characteristics of the «Holy Demonic Holiness» that only high-level Demon Lords could do. If I combined my acting skills with the

Okay, okay.
Is it over?
I was already lying against the golem. His body was made of stones, but it was still strangely warm. It was good enough to be used as a temporary bed.
Lord Golem. Excuse me, but I will use your body as a mattress for a while.
"® ¥ ~ ¥, ® ¥ <×× ¶ × ¶¶¶ × | ÷ ¦;
The golem made a soft murmur. I don't know what he said, but I managed to understand the intention. 'Use me whenever you want to master', it would be a decent translation of what he said.
A demon kind to his master and merciless to adventurers. What a gallant. I almost fell in love. The monster's body was really warm. As if sleep was going to involve me immediately ...
What is this place?
Why is it similar to the universe of Holy Demonic Holiness?
How did systems that only appear in games appear here?
There was no way to answer these questions at this point. Anyway, I can say with certainty what will happen from now on.
I plan to lie down and sleep all day.
When I closed my eyes, a notification suddenly invaded my mind, which made his eyes widen gradually.
