chapter 2
2. Finding the Home
Characters/Asmodians/Death Triangle
1. Outline [1]
[1] The reason why only three of the Four Heavenly Kings are grouped separately is because the fourth Four Heavenly Kings, the Succubus Queen, was later released as a DLC due to the circumstances of an adult who could not meet the production schedule. In many ways, it’s not wet (…)
…
4. Strategy
In the first playthrough, the story is structured to meet the black knight first, but because it is so strong, it is virtually impossible to attack without a staff who can attack and acquire the lich.
Many users can’t stand the blood pressure here and delete this game. (But you can’t attack the lich right away)
…
7. Popularity
Surprisingly, the Demon Beast King and the Lich vomited their spirit by beating the main heroines and ranking in the top 5 in the popularity poll.
It seems that there are more users than the main heroines who are b*tches.
Even the Black Knight, whose gender is still unknown, is welcomed by the Ang?
…
[12] Death Triangle has a past where, as a child, he was captured by a villain named Wicker, a slave trader, and then killed him in reverse and awakened from the crisis of his death.
For this reason, the community is pushing the slave trader Choi Kang-seol as a meme, asking who the hell was that slave trader, who had three of the world’s most powerful people, who were more difficult than the devil, as slaves.
[13] With the latest patch, this did not end as a simple meme, but the character information of Wicker, a slave trader, was hidden as dummy data.
Wicker is a person with the highest aptitude as a slave trader in the world and can unlock a unique skill called [Slave Exploitation], Which is a skill that allows you to use all the skills of the slaves you own.
In other words, if Wicker was alive, users would not have known that they would have to deal with the worst final boss ever, a fusion of the Black Knight, Lich, and Beast King (…)
***
Black Knight Lucas.
Rich Testia.
Demon King Yuri.
All three of them are the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King, and they are powerful, cruel, and dangerous beings.
Only seven countries were destroyed by the armies of those who came over from the demon realm.
And those three are the little ones in front of me right now.
This is a very big problem.
I, Wicker, the slave trader, is a character written in a line in the original background setting.
Wicker is an evil slave trader who enslaved the Black Knight, the Lich, and the Beast King.
They had a past where they almost died while enslaved, awakened their power, killed Wicker and escaped.
I will turn around.
There was not a word in the setting that said these were children when they were Wicker’s slaves. In the first place, her age was undisclosed.
I met three people who were destined to kill me, possessed at the point of 13 years ago in the original timeline, to a person with whom the main character, the hero’s party, could not have a relationship even as much as a fingernail.
I even forcibly entered into a slave contract without my will.
What the hell did I do wrong?
Isn’t this enough for 100 million won?
I am genuinely curious about whose malice this situation is.
It was easy to tell the three apart.
It was because their hair colors were different.
Yellow, black, and white.
They are the Black Knight, Lich, and Beast King respectively.
The appearance is completely different from what I know, but the race is a human, a dark elf, and a dog beast.
As I was thinking about how to solve this situation, I heard a low voice warning me.
“Don’t touch us.”
The dark elf, Black, stepped forward, wrapping Yellow and White behind his back.
Involuntarily, I touched the back of my head to see if there was a hole. Overwhelmed by the sharp eyes, I was mistaken that my brain had exploded.
“Whoa.”
Keep calm.
If I get involved with them, my death will soon be a foregone fact. I had to get my hands off it as soon as possible.
“… Whoops.”
A small cry was heard from inside the cage.
Hayangi, a dog beast, was curled up and trembling.
I know that these children are villains and will become the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King’s army.
But it was also true that just by looking at her appearance, I felt a sense of sympathy.
All three of them are about seven years old. It’s not even an animal, but it’s confined in a cage. Only the bones were skinny, and the lips were dry from starvation for several days.
… It was a little uncomfortable in a corner of my heart to leave it like this.
Should I arrange a guild? It seemed like it would make me feel comfortable.
“Good luck, little friends. I am a good-natured adventurer passing by.”
“It’s a lie. That man, the slave trader.”
Damn it. Yellowy knew how to read letters. This is why I don’t like quick-witted kids.
The black knight in the original work always wore armor and a helmet, so his identity was shrouded in a veil, but he was a human boy with a neutral voice.
“… Ugh, I’m scared.”
Black took the crying White into his arms. They were both girls, so they had a sister-like relationship.
Black still glared at me with fierce eyes.
“I also felt that I was a slave trader. The mana of the contract was forcibly flowed to that human. You are mistaken if you thought that we were slaves and could do as we pleased.”
Hmm.
Can’t you do whatever you want?
What can I do? The slave contract must have already been established at will, the Four Heavenly Kings, Nabal, and before awakening, they were just children.
What can you do? What else can you do besides quietly listening to me?
… I suppressed the urge to shoot like that. I was still afraid of my life. I desperately decided to make an excuse.
“The name tag says that he is a slave trader, but he was attached to it because of circumstances, and he is really just an adventurer.”
“A lie.”
“Really. I didn’t even know slave contracts could be so arbitrary. I’ll immediately terminate the contract and release you guys, okay?”
He held out both palms. He calmed the children down by expressing that he had no intention of being hostile.
“Status window.”
The children tilted their heads at my words. It must have been the first word he had heard.
I didn’t know how to cancel the slave contract, so I decided it was faster to find it in the skill window.
But.
“Why not?”
No matter how much I looked at the skills I had as a slave trader, I couldn’t cancel the contract.
“[Slave contract], [Slave detection]. What.”
No way.
I immediately looked up slave trader skills on the wiki. Fortunately, it was something I could read.
――――――――――――
3. Slave Trader Skill Tree
…
Termination of the slave contract
Unlocked at job level 3
――――――――――――
… It’s ruined.
Involuntarily, cold sweat broke out.
When I glanced at the trio, Black was quick to notice. I immediately started to click my tongue and get excited.
“I knew it would be like this. That’s right, liar! I warn you again, just come close to us!”
“Sorry!”
I immediately bowed my head to the three.
These children must be anxious too.
I also thought that answering sincerely was the least polite thing to do.
“I didn’t mean to lie. I had never used a slave trader’s skill before, so I didn’t know. Right now I don’t have the contract cancellation skill. I will somehow learn to cancel the contract, so please wait a little bit until then.”
Yellow, Black, and White were judging me without anyone responding.
“I can’t believe it. It’s a plan to reassure us and hand it over to the next slave trader.”
At that time.
Growl—
A loud sound echoed from the stomach of the dog’s beast, Hayangi.
A meal, a good way to communicate.
I had a good idea.
Immediately took two loaves of buttered bread from the bag and pushed them into the cage. Hayang sniffed at her, then opened her mouth wide and let her drool flow.
“No. You know what’s in it.”
“But… You’ve already starved for three days….”
“It might be under a bad spell that makes you hungry.”
“Steve the baker made it this afternoon. It was 20 coopers for three. One I ate during the day. It’s not very tasty, it’s about the level of an ordinary neighborhood bakery.”
I tore off a little corner of the bread and shoved it into my mouth to prove it was safe.
Pot!
In the end, Hayang snatched the loaf of bread and began to stuff it greedily into his mouth. I quickly took out my water bottle and put it inside the cage.
“Huh, huh… it is delicious….”
Because of his canine teeth, Whitey spilled a lot of bread crumbs and quickly gobbled up all the water.
The black guy, who was paying attention, also took the remaining loaf of bread in my hand, split it in half, and quietly gave it to the yellow guy in the corner.
The yellow nodded his head silently and opened his small mouth. He was a cool kid
“… I have no intention of believing this much. Just a piece of bread.”
The guard was hard black.
As I was thinking about how to persuade, I suddenly heard a frivolous man’s voice from behind.
“Are you feeding the stuff? Oops, it seems there was an internal feud.”
A figure wrapped in a robe suddenly appeared.
That was written above the bastard’s head.
“Well, it’s better to keep the payment alone. I know how to do business. Where, three little things. One human, one lesser elf, and one beast. From the looks of it, it seems quite advanced.”
Hans came over to us, inspected the children, and he nodded his head with a sinister grin.
“Looks like you’re going to a pedophile aristocrat somewhere? You should have already received the payment, so prepare to hand over the slave seal.”
I bowed my head toward the children.
“Yellow, Black, White.”
The three long-eyed eyes were looking straight at my face.
“This will prove my innocence.”
After speaking, he drew his sword at the same time. Twisting his body, he pierced his heart in an instant from his blind spot and cut it in half.
The slave trader Hans died without even screaming, leaving two bodies of the slave traders stacked on top of each other on the floor.
Sell each other well in hell. Where can I get 1 copper?
I looked back at the children and fixed the sword.
“The guy who wants to sell you, the guy who wants to buy you. I’ve taken care of both. Do you understand that he was a real passer-by now?”
Black shut his mouth tightly. Yellowy pushed the piece of bread in and stood up. Fortunately, I was still eating.
“No logic loopholes. Use your sword well. Let’s believe first.”
“But….”
“I can’t stay here forever. Let’s go.”
In the end, Black and White nodded as if they agreed with Yellow.
I broke our lock and opened the door. Yellowy was the first to jump off the cart in good spirits.
“… My legs are shaking.”
“Shall I pick you up?”
“I told you not to come closer.”
The black guy who said that was bluffing, and his legs were shaking.
I decided to be a little tougher here.
It would be a big deal if these children ran away and lost it. Since they belong to me as my slaves, things will eventually get messy and it will be even harder to resolve misunderstandings.
Someday, it will happen that he awakens and comes to kill me to break the contract.
For the time being, I have no choice but to keep it.
I needed the skill to cancel the contract as soon as possible, but to raise the slave trader job level, I would have to trade slaves.
I can’t do that.
… It’s overload I decided to think slowly.
I held black and white in my arms.
“Ugh, what are you doing!”
“If you move, you lose more strength.”
“… Ha.”
Black’s rebellion soon faded. My body was so tired that I didn’t have the strength to move any more.
On the other hand, the yellow one tries to lead the way. It is a healthy constitution. He was also a black knight.
“Question. Where is your destination?”
I couldn’t answer the yellow one right away. It was because I was always sleeping in an inn and had no place to live.
“Is this the only place around here?”
I took the lead and started walking. Directly opposite the city, towards the forest.
