Episode. Chapter 48
God opened the sky.
But it was strangely red.
It was as if the sky had become bloody.
When the ground was spread out beneath it, it was full of black dead barren.
God was questionable.
If it must have been made of light, how did this world come into being?
There were doubts and awkwardness, but it was the first world he had ever created.
I didn’t want to give up just because it was red and dark.
So, he created life.
– right… … !
The first creature in the black and red world was ‘it’.
‘It’ was twisted.
It was black, dead, and bloated.
The appearance of ‘it’ stretching its arms toward the sky was so terrifying.
It was never the creature God wanted.
The second and third creatures did the same.
Eventually, with the fifth creature, God gave up on this unclean world.
The reason I didn’t destroy ‘it’ and the creatures was because I still had a bit of attachment.
But in the end it was abandoned.
abandoned and neglected.
– right… … ?
The sky where God disappeared was really red now.
‘It’ sat down and stared blankly up at the sky.
I waited on the spot for a long time.
The heavens and the earth are so wide, but the brothers are only five.
He desperately needed God’s care and attention.
“We have been abandoned.”
The third, who was exceptionally large, said.
Tears of blood flowed incessantly over the red skin.
『?? ?? ?? ?? ??-!!!』
The second one spent almost a hundred years screaming.
The second child, whose vocal chords were torn to shreds, was eventually unable to speak forever.
「aaah-!!!」
『Why, why-!!』
The fourth and fifth vomited their resentment toward the sky.
I didn’t understand ‘it’.
Why is everyone sad?
Your father will be back soon.
Even though we have twisted bodies and souls, we are His creatures.
“You lead us.”
After being abandoned, five hundred years have passed.
The third knelt to ‘it’.
The red sea that slithered and splattered was the bloody tears shed by the third child.
– Whoa… … .
refused.
Refusing and refusing, the brothers bowed their heads to ‘it’.
It was funny.
They are all creations of the same father, so how could he lead his brothers?
‘It’ looked up at the sky.
A place I’ve never left since I was born.
Even until the brothers’ hearts are filled with anger.
As far as ‘it’ was in the beginning, they waited for God.
“My father created another world.”
“No matter how long I wait, it won’t come back.”
『Are you still not aware that we were abandoned!』
When the third child cried, the sea of red overflowed.
The wildly open-mouthed waves hit ‘it’.
As sticky tears of blood flowed down its body, ‘it’ was silently crying.
– father… … .
I got up from my seat.
I looked back at my brothers.
pitiful things.
sad us
– Father… … miss you… … .
My father, who said he created a new world, was savage.
It was just abandoned, but it was as if another world had taken away my father.
So ‘it’ became king.
to get my father back. for the brothers.
Five hundred years later, the first Holy Demon War occurred.
◈ ◈ ◈
I had a bad dream.
It felt stuffy, as if a corner of my chest was blocked.
“… … .”
I sat on the bed and looked at the ‘bad relationship’.
To hold or not The trembling fingertips just wandered in the air.
damn it
I muttered a curse inwardly.
One time wasn’t enough, so I repeated it ten more times.
After sitting there for a long time, I took a shower as if I was washing away dirt, and headed to the conference room.
The atmosphere at the conference hall was very stiff today.
Marx’s attack began last night.
The war, which depended on the fate of the continent, took away the awkwardness of dreams at once.
“Requests for reinforcements are flooding in from Homer Castle!”
A wizard holding a crystal ball shouted with a stiff face.
Homer Castle located at the southern end of Laplace.
It was the castle that was attacked by Marx.
“How is the enemy’s situation?”
“There is no direct lineage of Marx, but it is said that 5,000 wizards and 10,000 horsemen were mobilized.”
Alisa’s brow furrowed.
I leaned back on the backrest and watched the meeting quietly.
“They are just the starting squad. The power of Homer Castle won’t be easily defeated, right?”
“This is Homer’s castle, which was considered highly likely to be attacked in the first place. Haven’t you been fully prepared for that? How is it already in crisis… … .”
The enemy is not even an elite large army led by Marx’s direct lineage.
It was certainly not normal for Homer Castle, which had been fortified in the first place, to be pushed helplessly.
When Alyssa and a few wizards pointed out that, the wizard holding the crystal ball spoke in a sad tone.
“Huge red eyes… … It is said to have floated in the sky.”
“What is the great joint? Could it be Marx’s decisive battle weapon?”
“no. There was no mention of an attack. It’s just that Homer’s magicians who saw it couldn’t use their strength… … .”
The conference hall is in chaos.
Controversy erupted over the identity of the huge red eyes.
Then Alyssa looked at me.
Neither she nor I knew what those eyes were.
‘It’s dangerous.’
It is rare for a human who will not feel anything when looking into the eyes of the demon lord.
It was a great thing that Homer hadn’t been completely destroyed during the night.
“I will go.”
Alisa cut off the arguing wizards.
“Hey, Your Highness! This is a war that has just begun. How do you mean the king is going to fight?”
“you’re right. Sending troops from another fort would be a hundred times better option.”
The wizards dissuaded her, and Alisa shook her head.
“As you said, the war has just begun.”
For some reason, her expression was even colder.
“Even if we send troops from other castles to overcome the crisis, the experience of being helplessly pushed back will erode our own will. Our Laplace needs news of victory. It is an overwhelming victory.”
“If you do, our blue hawk wizards will join us!”
“no. You guys should stay here and closely monitor the situation in your country. I can protect Homer Castle alone.”
The majestic king’s voice resounded.
I had to struggle to hold back a satisfied smile.
When war breaks out, it seems that he has perfectly granted my request to return to his former self.
“majesty… … .”
Wizards looked at her with burning eyes.
It was not the gaze of the former king who loved peace.
Victory Witch.
The atmosphere surrounding Alisa was that of an enemy to be admired as Marx’s next family head.
“I will join you too, Master.”
I opened my mouth.
In the yard having a disturbing dream, it is impossible to watch the battlefield with the eyes of the demon king.
The chief’s gaze turned to me.
“… … good night. I just wanted to show you the true power of this master. Hurry up and get ready.”
◈ ◈ ◈
Kwaaang-!!
Hot flames heated one side of the castle wall.
The barrier surrounding the castle had long since been broken.
“Aww!!”
The wizards engulfed in flames screamed.
Black ashes blew in the wind.
“sh*t… … .”
From noble mtl dot com
The lord of Homer Castle, Count Aban, frowned.
Homer Castle was fully prepared for war.
However, the preparation was colorless, and the struggle was repeated over and over again.
The ferocity of wizards who became demons.
What I heard only in words was indeed not enough to become an object of fear.
‘If this wall is completely breached, everyone will die.’
Count Aban, with his aged body, scattered magic and comforted the wizards.
But the fraud has already crawled out.
The count was also forced to show courage, and courage in words could not boost the morale of the troops.
“… … Is it over?”
The enemy’s magic rains down.
But what was more terrifying than that was in the sky.
– right… … !
Huge, red eyes scanned the sky.
Those eyes, moving nonstop, seemed to be looking into an abyss.
The count gazed at it, then suddenly looked back at the citadel.
At the top of the citadel, there was still an unfamiliar feather pierced.
It was the insignia of Horror.
Kwaaang-!
In the meantime, a hole was drilled in the wall.
Fifteen wizards perished in the rubble of the collapsed wall.
Pudeuk-
Blood leaked from the count’s teeth.
In fact, he had never prayed to Hor.
Should it be the prejudice of the elderly?
The traces of his stubborn steps hardened and remained stubborn.
Praying with sincerity was not as easy as it sounds.
“sh*t! Hey, if you’re watching, help me out. Then I will pray.”
In fact, help has already been received in abundance.
A cane held by the count.
collapsed wall.
Clothes of dead wizards.
There was light in it all.
The feathers on the top of the citadel shone brightly like the sun.
But the count blamed God for being a pity.
That’s how much I was afraid of the eyes of the sky.
– Ho, le… … !!
Eyes occasionally let out screams.
At that time, the enemy’s morale soared, and the allies could not even complete the magic they were weaving, causing a mana reflux phenomenon.
“Even if this body dies. The enemy general will be killed and perished.”
The Count squeezed out his last courage.
With a half-exhausted body, he barely climbed the wall.
The magic that landed right in front of him burst his eardrums.
It didn’t matter though.
I didn’t need ears to weave magic.
“Kuaa-!”
The appearance of the enemy came into view.
Perhaps it was the same person, but the blackened body radiated disgusting energy.
And at the forefront, the Count’s goal was visible.
Dress more colorful than other enemies.
Its appearance, which was more hideous than other enemies, had horns growing out of it.
“die.”
A magic circle was drawn in front of the count’s staff.
Complex formulas were listed above it.
It was just about time to pour out the ardent magic of the 7th circle.
– hehehe.
The giant eyes met the eyes of the old man.
“… … sh*t.”
The Count muttered dejectedly. Blood poured out of his mouth.
mana flow.
I ate his body to become the courage I squeezed hard.
In the fading field of view, huge, ominous eyes seemed to be laughing at the count.
But why?
The half-moon-like eyes slowly opened wide.
Count Aban noticed that there was someone beside him belatedly.
The regurgitated mana slowly began to calm down.
“Master, do you need an escort?”
“It is done.”
“Then I’ll go wild a little.”
Only two reinforcements arrived at Homer Castle.
Among them, a man dressed in horseman’s armor ran out.
