The victory celebration went very smoothly, and everyone—humans, dwarves, elves, and orcs alike—was extremely satisfied with the outcome.

The demon king's defeat has been completed, and a long-awaited era of peace is about to begin.

With the demon race losing its ability to wage war, the other races also maintained friendly relations.

This is only natural; humanity has brave warriors whose fighting prowess is recognized worldwide.

Nobody wants to start a war against humanity, only for this ultimate father to appear at their doorstep wielding the holy sword.

The dwarves and elves were evenly matched, while the orcs were no match for them and had no value in being attacked.

Therefore, peace is entirely reasonable and without any problems.

As a hero, after the victory celebration, you'll prepare to return to your hometown to rest.

[The blueprints for your monster breeding farm are complete. Now all you need to do is build it.]

The bright future vision is putting you in a good mood, but some issues are making you feel terrible right now.

In the Demon Realm, after their respective core strongholds were destroyed by the Lord of Gluttony, the remaining forces gathered together and built a temporary base.

The vampire count, who had recently returned from the human realm, was being questioned by other high-ranking demons.

“Are you sure, Count Vampire, Count Paige? I hope you’re not lying to us.”

The paper in the Balrog's hand contained information brought back by the vampire count.

As a Fiery Demon, its physical abilities far surpass those of most ordinary monsters, yet its hands trembled uncontrollably as it held such a light piece of paper.

"I swear by my blood, my soul, my very existence, that I have not lied."

The information above is absolutely true; I obtained it at great personal cost.

"...Although I'm willing to believe you, these messages are just too shocking no matter how you look at it."

The Lord of Gluttony is the hero who slew the Demon King. For the first time in history, the identities of Demon King and Hero have been held by the same being.

Upon seeing this information, they even wondered if they had been attacked by a nightmare or some other kind of monster.

"That's the situation now. What should we do? Should we go find that person again?"

Or perhaps, as some of our friends have previously considered, avenging the destruction of our race?

None of the demon leaders present spoke. If it were the unknown Lord of Gluttony, they might still have a sliver of hope, thinking they'd give it a try.

So, if the goal is also to become a hero... I wouldn't dare, not even a little bit.

"Let's give up, we can't beat that guy."

How about this: as a human being, his lifespan is definitely shorter than ours.

We can completely outlast him using the "old man" tactic, and by then, the crown should choose a new king.

"That makes sense, that's a good idea, I agree."

"really."

Me too.

The demons, with remarkable tacit agreement, unanimously approved the proposal. They might not be able to defeat El in other aspects, but they could outlast them!

As for revenge, if they can't do it, so be it; they also dare not reveal the true face of the Lord of Gluttony.

Some things can only be subtly hinted at in nursery rhymes, fairy tales, folk tales, or certain books that circulate among the demon race.

For example, a shadow wielding a golden sword; darkness covering a dynasty; a hunter of death, a gluttonous beast; the unspeakable one; the omen of death accompanying the coming of winter; the one who will seize the throne…

There's a technique where those who know it understand, and those who don't can ponder it more and perhaps realize something, by recording certain stories.

What? You're asking why we can't just ask directly?

They were terrified; the news had spread today, but the holy sword would pierce their bodies tomorrow.
