0 – Devil Hunter Guild Leader Obsessed with the Empire
After completing the first playthrough, I became possessed by , A game waiting for an expansion pack.
As the second character I raised, the demon hunter ‘Leonard’.
But, of course, it was at the time of the prologue.
A story in which an empire will perish if you fail to kill the Great Demon that has descended to the earth.
I sat down for a while and made my guess.
Now is the prologue point.
An empty-headed demon hunter who owns nothing.
In this world, demon hunters are filthy, vulgar and despised.
What’s more, you can’t use your full power against demons or people like scammers.
However, since all I have is the skill of demon hunting, there is no way for me to make a living.
In other words, you can earn money and become stronger only by following the story, whether it be porridge or rice.
Don’t take a strange route that you don’t even know about, but follow the main story line that already has knowledge and experience in your head.
Okay. Let’s go!
In that way, as the story goes, they went to the imperial castle, gathered talented characters from all over the empire, organized a party, and started an expedition to the great devil.
One thing different from when I was playing was that the leader of the Knights of Hwangseong joined the party.
I refused because the knight was not very helpful in the demon hunt, but the imperial castle ordered me to take it with me.
It’s a practical experience, so what can I do?
So you’re not asking me to take the bus after all.
Well, there shouldn’t be any big problems.
That’s how I killed the Great Demon.
While the Great Devil was outraged, the Knight Commander trembled in fear and fled somewhere, not even showing his nose.
Anyway, I killed the great devil and reached max level as I originally intended.
In this , The max level of the demon hunter is different from that of other games.
Combat power It means that instead of being a munchkin, you have a body that can withstand strong and poisonous elixirs.
Well, since elixirs are very important when dealing with demons, it must be like munchkins after all.
Anyway, when I returned from the mission, the empire was already in a festive mood as news spread that the Great Devil had died.
‘Long live the hero of national salvation, the knight commander!’.
Listening to the slogans pouring down from the street, the knight commander smiled awkwardly.
“I’m sorry about this. When I go to my castle, I’ll make sure to tell His Majesty about your contribution.”
hahahaha, that’s because it’s a contribution.
Even before we arrived, rumors had already spread that the knight commander had killed the great devil, and judging from the fact that such words came out of the head of the knight commander, it must have already been planned.
Everything from forcibly pushing the leader of the knights, who was of no help to the demon hunt, into the party in the first place.
It’s a common cliche that the wrong guy benefits from being exiled after killing the demon king.
As expected, from the point of view of the Empire, it would be much more plausible for a human like the Imperial Knight Commander to become a hero than a lowly and filthy fellow like a demon hunter.
As expected, when I returned to the imperial castle, what awaited me was a money bag in the name of labor costs and an oath of secrecy.
It was a lot for a lump sum payment, but compared to the hardships of the past, the amount was still insufficient.
Along with that is a confidentiality agreement.
The last item in the oath of secrecy is, of course, the Imperial Banish Order.
Are you going to completely erase me from the Great Devil Expedition?
I signed the pledge without saying anything and took my money bag.
Anyway, I started it because I had a purpose, and in the meantime, I became strong enough as planned.
But usually at times like this, don’t they vomit to death?
I don’t know why they give money and send it back.
“Before I leave, I’d like to have a simple meal with the party members I’ve been through life and death with. Could you do me that kind of favor?”
But that didn’t happen.
All party members refused.
Somehow, I felt that the way they treated me had changed since I returned to the Empire.
Those cunning and clever b*tches figured out the situation and immediately switched lines.
“Good job, guys.”
After winking at the emperor, he hummed and left the palace.
Betrayal of the Empire? Plural?
I don’t care at all.
Because the Prime Evil will be resurrected sooner or later and the Empire will take care of itself.
Now, the death of the great devil is only the first phase of the final boss in the story.
Now I will leave for the Principality of Nantes, which is famous for its scenery and wine, and start a guild.
It seems that going back to the present life is overdone anyway, so let’s sit down in a place with a good mountain and good water and enjoy the contents of healing management.
I mean, I really wanted to run a guild after the first playthrough.
And the great devil will be resurrected soon, so any guild with a demon hunter guild leader will definitely do well in business.
Wouldn’t it be fine if the empire gave you money for your hard work and all the money you’ve accumulated so far?
But at the time I didn’t know.
That you can never establish a guild with only money.
Along with that, I will be burdened with a lot of things that are difficult for me to handle with my normal common sense and ethics.
Things or years, whatever.
