Climax (10)
It rained. It wasn’t a description or a metaphor, it was really raindrops falling from the sky.
The imperial capital was filled with moisture due to the pouring rain. People entered the building to avoid moisture and closed the doors and windows.
So most of them were cut off from the world because they did not want to face the rain.
So they won’t know.
Somewhere in the forest, among the raindrops, blood is dripping.
A battlefield that neither officers nor knights knew was unfolding in the northern forest. The battle against the coming of the Demon King is currently ongoing.
It was a fact that most people didn’t know.
**
Agnes clenched his teeth. The trembling did not stop even though I cried out in my head for several times to calm down.
The Demon King is Coming
because of that fact. Rainwater ran down her cheeks.
Kang!
The magic sword collides with the absolute spirit. The Demon King exclaimed with exclamation as he watched Jeolyoung continue to withstand his blows.
“Oh. The sword possessed by the original owner of this body was also a famous sword, but it is not comparable to the sword possessed by four years old. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a substance that blocks my sword for so long.”
It was pure admiration. It seemed more interesting to watch the eclipse than to focus on the battle.
The Demon King was so arrogant.
But Agnes did not dare to point to that arrogance. This is because the Demon King had the power to match his arrogance.
After all, you have to have power.
Agnes once again carved the truth into his body. Now that I have come to realize what it means, I had to think that I would come back alive.
“rotation.”
A sweet voice whispered past Agnes’ ear. At the same time, something black runs by her side.
It was Aksi.
She rushed towards the Demon King with a long spear. The demon king glanced at the spear filled with black mana for a moment and then swung his demon sword away.
Agnes immediately retreated. The divine power that was blocking her surroundings was still intact, but her hand was not.
It’s only 5 minutes.
I couldn’t even last 5 minutes and had to get help.
The blood on his hands was also stained with blood. The handle, which used to be brown, has turned red.
Rebecca came up to her and struck her with divine power. The wound began to heal slowly, but not as quickly.
Rebecca frowned. The magic that spread around was interfering with the treatment. Wounds that would normally be healed at once had to take time.
Kaga!
While she was treating Agnes, Akshi assumed the role of the Demon King. The demon king smiled broadly and swung the demon sword, and Akshi took the sword with a hardened face.
That was all.
Not even a single attack was successful, let alone a counterattack.
The Demon King’s sword was too close, but their attack was far away.
They lacked the time and experience given to them to catch up with the gap. Simply put, it meant a difference in skill.
The demon king opened his mouth as he leisurely passed the spear of Akshi.
“They say they get along with each other, but there’s nothing wrong with that statement. Its reckless disposition resembles the original owner of this body.”
“…Have you met Deron?”
The Demon King chuckled. It was an anxious laugh. Akshi’s spear moved a little more violently. Anxiety also formed in Agnes and Rebecca’s eyes. All three watched as the demon king’s mouth moved.
“Deron, it’s Deron. Yes, we met. We can’t help but meet him! I stole his body!”
The Demon King shouted loudly. He spread his arms out quite proudly. It was an exaggerated move. Akshi asked, sharpening his teeth.
“How is he?”
His expression was a mixture of anger and confusion. The most important thing in battle is composure. Akshi was not unaware of that fact. But despite knowing it, it is unavoidable that the emotions are burning.
Deron Phylasia.
How can you keep quiet even after hearing stories about him?
As if aware of that fact, the Demon King slowly opened his mouth.
“dead.”
With a truly evil smile. The one word that was gently brought out was enough to destroy the three of them.
“What, what?”
Akshi looked at the Demon King in disbelief. Her pupils were vibrating like never before.
The Demon King smiled broadly. Because I really liked the expression on his face that was drowning in the sea of despair. It would not be an exaggeration to say that I had to do this to see that smile.
The Demon King went one step further and said.
“He was an enemy, but he was a great man. He blocked my blow with his right arm, even though his left arm was severed.”
Rebecca’s body flinched at the news that her left arm had been cut off.
It was because she knew all too well who had caused the left arm to be amputated.
“He didn’t stop resisting until he was about to lose his life. It was so awful, and his death was noble. That’s how he died. Deron.”
Akshi’s spear blade pointed downwards. The flames of struggle had faded from Agnes’ eyes, and Rebecca’s mouth was about to cry out.
Each individual’s despair became a wave and overtaken this place.
The demon king barely endured the pleasure of digging into his body and continued.
“There is a saying he left before he died.”
The Demon King slowly looked at Agnes, Aksi, and Rebecca. I made a promise to Deron. A promise to tear the three of them to pieces.
But it was too weak. Physical pain would disappear after death. But the mental pain was not.
The Demon King was as evil as his title. I hoped that those around Deron would despair. So, the death of Deron was consecrated.
The more noble the death of Deron, the deeper the despair of Seth will be.
The Demon King cleared his throat and prepared for his final performance. Now it was the climax.
“Women that Deron loved. Your lover died at my hands. It’s a tragedy. I understand that you are angry.”
Taking an exaggerated pose, the Demon King spoke like a theater actor. The three of them just stared at it.
“However, there is a last will that Deron left. Although he was an enemy, I would like to hear from him, who unfortunately died.
run away Abandon Deron’s body and run away from here, and announce the return of the Demon King. I will never kill you in my name.
bring the army You may bring all the knights of the empire. As long as all the paladins of the church gather, it’s fine. The world’s evil, despair, fear, demon lord. You can sell any name, so stop me.”
The Demon King, who had raised his voice so far, immediately lowered his voice. It was an intentional show. He was a demon lord, and he knew how to charm people.
“That is the only mercy I can give. Please don’t let Deron’s death be in vain.”
The atmosphere was cold. It was complete silence. The Demon King raised the corners of his lips as if he was satisfied.
Naturally, he did not intend to keep his word.
I named it for that. What effect is there to call a name you do not know?
When there is hope, there is despair. The greater the hope, the greater the despair that comes. The Demon King knew that better than anyone.
The Demon King swallowed his saliva. Agnes, Aksi, and Rebecca looked forward to running away with tears in their eyes even now.
The appearance of throwing away the body of Deron that he had stolen, and when taking the lives of those fleeing.
It seemed that I could meet more exhilarating pleasures than I had enjoyed before.
The demon king waited for the answer of the three like a fisherman waiting for the fish to bite the bait. Although the reply was late, I was able to endure it for the benefit to come later.
“I’m going to ask you one thing, Demon Lord.”
“Tell me.”
Agnes looked at the Demon King with Deron’s body and asked.
“Deron… did he tell us that he really loved us?”
At Agnes’ question, the Demon King shouted loudly as if he had been waiting.
“Of course! I’m sorry I couldn’t keep my promise, saying that I love all three of them…”
“You’re lying.”
Interrupting the demon king’s words, Agnes said. Everyone’s eyes were the same. The Demon King realized that he had said something wrong.
“Wow, what?”
“Deron has never uttered such a word. Even if he has feelings for us, he cannot use the direct word for love.”
Aksi and Rebecca nodded. The Deron they knew was a person who didn’t notice even though he had been teased over and over again.
Even if he was aware of it, he never talked about affection with his mouth.
He was a person who always wanted to be by your side. Even if he died, there was no way he would say that he loved him.
The three of them knew it all too well. The Demon King didn’t know that.
That was the cause of the failure.
Realizing that he had been fooled, the Demon King screamed. It was the feeling of a fisherman who had missed the prey placed in front of him, and that was also a huge fish.
Watching the demon king screaming, Agnes, Aksi, and Rebecca prepared for the final battle in their own way.
As it turned out that the demon king’s words were false, there was no reason to run away. No, to be precise, even if it was true, I did not intend to run away.
It was because Deron’s body was here.
Magi erupted from the demon king’s body, creating all kinds of military weapons. It was a number that was incomparable to anything before.
“Just die.”
The Demon King declared so.
“Who wants to discuss death?”
someone countered
The three eyes widened. From within Deron’s body, light was gushing out. The Demon King screamed and complained of pain.
“aah!”
The light that purifies Deron’s body by burning the magic that spread around him disappeared, and Deron’s body sank to the ground.
Rebecca hurriedly ran to check his condition.
fresh liquid.
He was exhaling slightly. The three sighed in relief. It was because he knew who was the one who refuted the words of the Demon King a while ago.
Deron Phylasia.
It was the man’s voice. The three rejoiced in their own way when they learned that Deron was alive. That was true.
It was a moment when hope grew bigger than despair.
