The World of Masks

Black and black smoke covered the sky. The human-made city greedily consumed flame continued to expand its power. There is a terrible tragedy under the giggling fiery flames of the Devil. Undead and monsters chasing those who flee from the fire and smoke. A large number of people have already reconciled to the ground. Several people are either crazed or stuck next to undead and monsters, grumbling and wailing over the body, whether or not they're coming back with a murder weapon.

Somewhere outside the city. It was some distance from the city, but the wailing and screaming were being heard here. Jack slouches his arms and looks down at what his henchmen are doing where he can see the capital at a glance due to its high landscape.

"That went well."

Callie, who was next to me, said, I don't see him next to Chloe. It is as strange as the sun rising from the west that she who is bloodthirsty does not enter such an interesting situation. Of course, Callie loved Jack as much as she could. I urged her to leave quickly, brushing even the sword of Chloe's hands.

"If you can't do this, you'll have to hit the name of the Demon King."

Jack said as if it were nothing.

The great city in front of him was the capital of a kingdom to the north. I don't even remember the name. It was not worth remembering the name of a kingdom that had already hit Jack's Demon Lord and had lost most of its power, so it no longer had control over the territory.

Jack's army, which started the invasion, wiped out the north. Against the monsters and undead who were greatly strengthened by the altar are the kingdoms where most of the power flew away. It was obvious. In just three days after the invasion, the Demon Lord was able to drain the capital of a kingdom worth remembering this name.

Even though it was ridiculously fast, the combination of monsters and undead, even though the vigilantes, in addition to the forces of the empire that had already evaporated by the majority, completely eliminated the nonsense. It was also one of the main reasons that the capital of the kingdom was located to the north.

"But are you sure about this, my lord? The owner doesn't need to be there."

Jack, who Callie knew, was an incredibly murderous man, although not as much as Chloe, who was running around in the middle of the capital. Jack shrugs.

"I'm going to concede to him today. He likes blood so much. Besides, he won't be able to kill all the Humans in the capital."

Crazy enough that even Jack can't keep up with himself. The reason you betrayed the former Dark Wizard was because you couldn't go crazy. You should also let him go like this. Well, unlike back then, I can't even dream of betrayal because I'm a thorough slave now with the jewels of the contract.

"Plus, I told you to leave the main dish alone."

Jack looked at the palace and said, Callie also followed Jack's gaze to the palace.

"Ah, those idiots who couldn't get away either?"

Callie's eyes are full of laughs.

The Demon Lord's honorable march speed has shattered the back of the royal mortals, who were preparing to flee. The kingdoms that did not expect the Demon Lord to arrive so soon were packed with various treasures and possessions until the Demon Lord arrived. Even if you try to flee to another country, the difference between having money and not having it makes a big difference. However, the actions of the royal mortals who were aesthetic to get even more money became the worst appetizers.

As soon as I saw the Demon Prince, they tried to flee Buryburia, but the other side of the capital was already completely blocked by maneuverable monsters that Jack had sent ahead. Once there was no escape, they had no choice but to settle in the castle. Pray for a miraculous hope to come to this land.

As soon as Yurin finished, Jack set foot inside the city.

You see a lot of dead bodies from the gate. Broken armor, broken spears, bloodstains. There's no room for Valdil. The corpse fills its surroundings.

"Have you stayed this far?"

I thought most of the troops were blown up in the Northern Plains, but where did they come from like roaches? I turned the bodies upside down with my feet.

"Looks like we don't have a lot of real soldiers."

Callie, who helped Jack flip the bodies with a cane, said.

Few of the fallen corpses are properly armed. The rest of you are wearing tools that won't fit on the axe, such as pickaxes and axes, without armor. The age was ever-growing. From the young man who still smells like booze to the old man who looks like he's about to be toasted.

"Looks like we've recruited as many men as we can because we're low on men."

That's it. That's the amount of troops we've lost, tracked them down and killed them. There's no way that soldier could have stayed like this.

Qajik!

Slowly trampling on the corpse, Jack advances upright toward the realm. Screams and wails were still heard everywhere.

"Surprisingly, there were so many people left. I thought most of them escaped."

"Perhaps the royals have them."

For them, people are like property. I don't know if the local humans have lost control, but we couldn't let the people in the capital escape. Moreover, it can be used as a shield when they flee. The slower the Capitol occupation, the easier it will be for them to escape.

"They weren't able to get away properly, so it all foamed up."

Because of that, their deaths were all exacerbated by dog's death.

Jinseok walks with a dead body tucked away from his feet.

"It's time to stop."

Jack mutters, looking at the half-ruined houses and the crushed corpses between them. Jack orders the spiritually connected monsters and undead to stop fighting. Suddenly, the screams that I heard stopped. The Demon Prince stopped attacking. However, the weeping was still coming out gradually. Of course, it wasn't Jack who felt sorry for it. No, I rather felt joy and joy. Using the wailing as a BGM, Jack walked straight to the palace.

How long have you walked? You see a large, impressive tower. The high wall was surrounded by walls, and the steel entrance was firmly closed.

It was the royal palace, the heart of this kingdom.

The undead and monsters have already surrounded the palace extensively. This siege net was set up to prevent the Demon King, their master, from escaping the food to be eaten.

"My Lord!"

A clear aesthetic resounded from a distance. On the other side of the road, Chloe walks slowly. Not matching her beautiful voice, her vile armor was already covered in red blood, completely losing its original color. But she didn't care at all.

Closer to Jack, Chloe takes off her helmet. Her gorgeous blonde hair sags.

"Finally, the main dish."

Chloe glances inside the palace with gleaming eyes.

"Don't touch them, they're mine."

"Chet, you can spare a few."

She grimaces. Jack only smiles in relief.

"You've already killed so many people."

In her body, Fivirina was showing signs of a massacre.

"But I've never killed a nobleman, like a royal or a noble."

"I'm not gonna kill them all, either. If you don't need one, I'll throw you some."

"Yes!"

Chloe smiles with a single smile. Looking at the foam flinching at your fingers, your body seems to be in a frenzy with the expectation of murder.

The three slowly walked to the front of the palace. I sent some monsters after the Black Skull just in case. There was not much resistance in entering the palace. Perhaps the last of the troops gathered inside the building.

Boom!

Chloe pulls a full swing with her dagger. A door made of solid steel flew away like a signpost.

Without a hint, Jack's party makes a bold move into the palace.

As soon as he entered, Jack sent the undead to several places. To find the living. The undead are scattered to the winds. They were black skeletons that folded even the knights, the monstrous human weapons, so there was no need to worry about a decrease in power.

Jack leads Callie and Chloe to the largest building. Those of you who are naturally empty-headed don't like big, tall buildings. With no evidence, Jack starts scouring the building.

I've seen a few humans. The servants who did the errands, Maid, and Cook. But the tall guys Jack was looking for didn't even show up.

Did he escape? It was time to hear such doubts.

A large door appears in front of Jack's group. The door, engraved with colorful and delicate pieces, was qualitatively different from other rooms. Jack opens the door with open expectations.

Boom!

I kicked, to be exact. The hinges creak and scream. The door wobbles as if it were falling. When the big door was opened wide, the inside appeared.

With all sorts of fancy jewelry on, the humans in luxurious clothes stand guarded by knights and soldiers. They were the rulers of this kingdom.

"Found it."

Jack mutters with an eerie smile.
