The Demon King Who Was Supposed to Lose Ended Up Defeating the Targets, and Now the Heroine Has Been Sent as a Sacrifice - Chapter 29

I could feel my mind being overwhelmed by my demonic sword.

But with my steely will, I snapped out of it.

“N-No, this is bad!”

Lately, I’ve been far too indulgent.

Sure, I have a strong desire for harem-filled flirtations and to surround myself with even more cute girls.

But this lack of self-control is too much.

Even Elsia hasn’t opposed my harem-building recently, and if I’m not careful, I might lose all restraint.

I need to start exercising some self-control.

That’s why I should ignore Arcyon’s words and take her out quickly…

“Please ♡ Let me have your baby ♡ You can do whatever you want with me ♡”

“…Gulp.”

Calm down.

No matter how much this busty, dragon-loli gives me those pleading eyes and sweet, seductive voice, my resolve won’t waver.

I prepared to cast a spell to finish her off, but Arcyon didn’t stop her pleading.

“Hey, Diablo ♡ Don’t look so scary ♡ Sure, we exchanged some harsh words earlier, but don’t hate me, okay?”

Arcyon pressed her oversized chest against me as she spoke.

Guh, what do I do?

I was completely set on finishing off Arcyon, but now a part of me just wants to push her down and have wild, passionate sex.

In fact, I’m starting to see this busty dragon-loli in front of me as a woman.

“My body’s tough, so I can give you lots of strong, cute babies. Ten, a hundred, as many as you want ♡”

“T-That’s quite a lot.”

“Ehehe ♡ I’m a dragon, so I want to have plenty of strong babies with a powerful mate ♡”

Ugh, what an enticing offer!! But, no, I won’t give in to temptation!!

“Oh ♡ Then how about you imagine it?”

“Imagine?”

“Yeah ♡ Imagine putting this annoying, arrogant dragon girl in her place, beating her down and making her understand your strength ♡ Then, after showing her your power, you can make her understand what it means to be a female, with your big, long, hard ‘sword’ ♡ Satisfy all your desires while making babies ♡”

“…Fuh, Haaah.”

Imagining it was a mistake.

I pushed Arcyon down right there and finished her off with my fully erect demonic sword.

Side: Kingdom of Alvera

“Damn it, what’s the situation!?”

Julius von Alvera, Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Alvera, shouted anxiously at his advisors.

Julius had been released from restraints right after King Alvance awakened the holy dragon, Arcyon, and had been running around ever since.

With Arcyon’s awakening, King Alvance had perished, and the throne of the Kingdom of Alvera was officially passed down to Julius.

But there was no time for a coronation.

Arcyon had burst out from beneath the castle, destroying it and causing immense damage to the royal capital.

Julius had mobilized what was left of his soldiers, who had already been drastically reduced by the Demon King’s previous assault, to assess the damage and lead the citizens to safety.

“Julius, try to calm down.”

“Vernon… Ah, yes, you’re right. I’m sorry.”

The one who soothed Julius in his panic was his childhood friend, Vernon von Avan.

Vernon’s hometown, the town of Avan, had been massacred by Elsia, leaving him in deep despair.

The stress had worn him down, and his once lustrous blue hair was now disheveled.

Even so, seeing Vernon still taking action to help the citizens of the royal capital gave Julius hope, despite not having the time to properly mourn his father’s death.

“I’m sorry. Everyone, give me your reports.”

Having regained his composure, Julius asked the advisors for an update on the situation.

The officials began reporting to their new king.

“Your Highness—no, Your Majesty. The damage to the capital is immense. It will likely take over a decade to rebuild.”

“However, thanks to the former king’s efforts to evacuate the citizens in advance, there are some serious injuries, but no deaths. Also, because the former king revealed the existence of the holy dragon, the people are hopeful, believing the witch will soon be destroyed.”

“I see. That’s good news.”

Julius sighed in relief, knowing that there were no casualties among the citizens.

“The main concern now is whether ‘it,’ the holy dragon, will be able to destroy the witch without interference.”

“Tsk”

Julius clenched his teeth at the military minister’s words.

The witch.

The girl Julius and his friends once loved and swore to protect no matter what.

“Minister of War, watch your words!! Your Majesty, please don’t let this trouble you.”

“No, there’s no need to hold back!! Your Majesty, surely you don’t intend to show mercy to the witch at this point!?”

The minister, clearly agitated, spat out his words.

“The holy dragon Arcyon, awakened at the cost of the former king’s life, will surely destroy the witch!! But remember, the holy dragon obeys the commands of the royal family!! If Your Majesty still has lingering feelings for that witch and orders it not to kill her, it would dishonor the former king’s sacrifice!!”

“Minister of War!! That is enough disrespect!!”

“…It’s fine.”

It was none other than Julius who stopped the other ministers from restraining the Minister of War.

Julius carefully chose his words, trying to calm the agitated minister.

“I… No, I am the king. Therefore, I will not stop the holy dragon, Arcyon. I have to accept that Elsia is the enemy of the kingdom.”

Julius clenched his fist as he spoke.

The reality that the girl he loved more than anyone else was going to die was something he wanted to look away from.

But Julius was now a king.

And as a king, he had to put aside his personal desires and prioritize the well-being of his people.

Just then—

‘Hey, people of the kingdom!’

It was the voice of the holy dragon, Arcyon.

Not knowing where it was coming from, Julius and the ministers looked around in confusion.

“Y-Your Majesty!! Look up at the sky!!”

Prompted by a soldier who rushed into the meeting room, Julius looked out the window and gazed upward.

There, a large rectangular screen-like object hovered in the sky, displaying the image of Arcyon in human form.

Though she appeared human, the aura she radiated was far from anything human.

At a glance, the people realized it was Arcyon.

The citizens were in awe, mistaking the incredibly beautiful form of the humanized holy dragon Arcyon for the descent of a goddess.

‘I have an announcement for everyone!’

The holy dragon, Arcyon, who protected the kingdom, was speaking directly to the people.

Even before Arcyon had said anything of substance, the crowd began to cheer, thinking, Has the witch been defeated?

Finally, the witch had been destroyed!

The kingdom was saved by the sacrifice of the late King Alvance and the absolute power of the holy dragon, Arcyon!

As the people celebrated, Arcyon continued.

‘I’ve decided to have this man’s baby—the Demon King, Diablo’s baby ♡ Sorry, everyone in the kingdom ♡’

The image of Arcyon on the screen zoomed out, revealing what she was doing.

The holy dragon, the beautiful girl who was supposed to protect the kingdom, was now pinned beneath the Demon King, the witch’s ally.

Screams echoed from all corners of the capital.

‘So, to explain… I lost ♡ And it was the first time I met someone stronger than me, so I fell in love ♡ I couldn’t help but ask Diablo to give me his baby ♡ And, well, as you can see… Ahn ♡ Diablo ♡ I love you, I love you so much ♡ I’m totally in love with you ♡’

The protector of the kingdom, Arcyon, was on all fours, making love with the Demon King. Her expression was unmistakably that of a woman in deep desire.

The holy dragon, who was supposed to possess absolute power, had been defeated and was now fawning over the Demon King.

Everyone was struck speechless by the shocking sight.

The holy dragon, depicted on the very flag of the Kingdom of Alvera, was submitting to the Demon King, as if the kingdom itself had fallen into his hands.

The Minister of War shouted out.

“Y-Your Majesty!! Command Arcyon to kill the Demon King immediately!!”

“R-right! That’s it!!”

Arcyon, who was supposed to have gone to destroy the witch Elsia, was now with the Demon King Diablo.

Julius, thinking that killing the Demon King would break Elsia’s control and save the kingdom, immediately called upon the power of the royal bloodline to command Arcyon to attack the Demon King.

However, Arcyon only furrowed her brows and grimaced, refusing to move.

‘What’s wrong, Arcyon?’

‘Oh, nothing. It seems the royal family of Alvera tried to command me, but the only ones with absolute authority over me are Alicia and Alvin, so I ignored them.’

‘You can ignore them?’

‘Yep ♡ Right now, the only one who can command me is you ♡ Oh, Diablo ♡ This time, I’ll be on top ♡ Let me take care of you ♡’

Julius was confused by this unexpected revelation.

“Impossible! I thought the holy dragon couldn’t disobey the royal family’s commands!”

“Y-Your Majesty, please calm down!”

But there was no way Julius could stay calm.

The holy dragon, once the kingdom’s beacon of hope, had fallen into the hands of the Demon King, turning that hope into despair.

Panic was spreading among the people.

Then, Arcyon delivered an even greater blow. 

While dancing on top of the Demon King, she made a terrifying suggestion.

‘Oh, I know ♡ How about letting our baby destroy the kingdom? With our power, it’d be a breeze ♡’

The holy dragon, the kingdom’s protector, was now suggesting its destruction.

This plunged the people of the kingdom into deep despair.

‘No, we can’t do that. This country is Elsia’s prey. She’d be furious if we destroyed it on our own.’

Saved!! No, wait, we’re not saved!!

Realizing that the kingdom’s destruction was still inevitable, the citizens began to tremble with fear.

‘For the kingdom’s protector, you sure don’t sound like one.’

‘Well, I was locked up in the castle’s basement for so long! I only protected the kingdom because Alicia and Alvin asked me to, but I’ve reached my limit!! I’m going to live for love now ♡’

‘I see…’

The Demon King and the holy dragon went more intense, as if to flaunt their affection.

The kingdom’s officials, realizing there was no time to waste, urgently sought orders from Julius.

“Y-Your Majesty!! Please give us orders!! The witch will arrive any moment!! And worse, the Demon King and the Holy Dragon—no, the Demonic Dragon—are coming as well!!”

“I, uh, I… I am—”

Faced with inescapable despair, Julius found himself forced to make a choice.
