“wow… … .”
Tia, who had been asked by Oz and headed for the Three Heavens, stuck out her tongue.
The fog over the Three Tao River had really thinned to the point where it was noticeable.
But thanks to that, it was easy to notice the circumstances of the incident.
If Kang Chul had accepted the other person’s proposal, it wouldn’t have faded this far. He probably gave hell with all his might, just like his personality.
“It is terrible.”
Tia had fought Kang Chul in the past at Mount Bongnae.
Even then it was quite difficult. But that was only half of it.
Even though he has the upper hand in terms of chemistry, he is on par with Kang Chul.
In other words, in terms of pure strength, even Tia couldn’t overcome Kang Chul.
“Auntie, are you there?”
Tia couldn’t bear to go inside the Samdocheon and called Kang Chul from a distance.
“There are a lot of guests these days. Did you come here because you said you were going to be at the age you were going to be soon?”
“Aren’t we like that?”
“It doesn’t.”

Kang Chul came out with a scolding at Tia’s words.
Seeing her usual appearance, Tia swallowed dryly and asked.
“… … What about the recent guests?”
“Are you curious?”

Kang Chul laughed, covering his mouth.
The bright yellow eyes that could be seen through the veil were so frightening that Tia hesitated and withdrew.
The situation is different from ＜Skientia＞. This is the opponent’s base.
As Tia, who couldn’t exert as much strength as before, I didn’t want to be as hostile as possible with Kang Chul.
“Most of the worms are dead, but the core escapes altogether.”
Nix, who tore through hell, glared at Kang Chul, but quickly turned away.
The eyes that were filled with arrogance are now infinitely sunken.

Kang Chul knows very well how far a person with such a look can go. That’s why I had no choice but to tolerate their escape.
“Awesome… … .”
“I was surprised too. I didn’t expect to be able to escape so easily from the hell I created.”
“no… … . that, no Anyway, if you’re all right, that’s fine.”

Kang Chul was the one who said that Tia was amazing, but Kang Chul complimented the opponent with a sour expression.
To her, it was as if the other person was inside her stomach. That’s why the situation itself that he ran away from was indescribable.
“Well, didn’t they say anything strange?”
“They said you wouldn’t want to turn back time.”
“… … .”
“Are you concerned?”
Tia kept her mouth shut and looked at Kang Chul.
There is nothing more sad than this.
In the meantime, he reigned as an absolute being and rarely noticed the world.
“I refused.”
“… … I thought you would definitely accept it.”
To be honest, Tia still couldn’t believe the result.
The mad obsession that Kang Chul showed on Mt. Bongrae was real.
It was completely incomprehensible that she gave up the opportunity to revive Jinseon.
“Well… … . Why?”
Unlike usual, Kang Chul said with a soft smile.
she loves jinseon
No, I have feelings that cannot be expressed even with the word love.
That’s why I met him, and now that I’ve been forgiven by him.
She also came to love the world Jin-seon loved.
“I don’t know.”
However, Kang Chul did not dare to say that.
It was something she shouldn’t have said, having been pushing the world into hell for countless centuries.
It was enough for her to just think to herself.
* * *
＜Demon World＞.
Returning to his castle, Nyx locked himself in his room.
She was able to escape Kang Chul’s magic on her own, but she did not fight him.
I’m not sure, but maybe I would have won if I had risked my life.
But at the same time, the probability of his own death was high.
That’s why she couldn’t continue the fight any longer.
I have to meet the [Demon King]. You can never die for that.
Even if his whole body was cut to pieces and his limbs were cut off, he had to live for now.
“mother.”
And a young boy approached her.
“Cheer up! I will share the treasure I received as a tribute this time.”
The boy smiled and pointed the treasure at Nyx, who was dead-eyed.
A ring adorned with a bright red ruby.
It wasn’t something a child would hold, but… … .
The boy was no mere child.
“Mefi.”
The boy is the [Demon Lord] of this generation.
‘Mephistopheles’
It was the crystallization of lingering feelings created by Nyx, who was foolish enough.
“Yeah! mother. Look at this. Isn’t it pretty? I picked out a particularly pretty one and brought it.”
“Did you make those things a sacrifice?”
“Yeah! After all, everything in the demon realm is just accessories for me, right? I told you to give it to me if you don’t want to die, so you gave it to me?”
“yes… … .”
Failed this time too. Nick felt it keenly.
The [Demon King] she loved did not have a ferocious temper, even though he had tremendous demonic energy in his body.
He was just a seeker seeking enlightenment through a fight with someone.
‘You failed again.’
But what about the child in front of you?
The child who recently became the [Demon King] has already lost the distinction between good and evil.
Drunk with too much demonic energy, it became nothing short of pure evil.
It happened often. In the past, there were many [Demon Lords] that were broken like this.
I had hopes at the time.
Still, when time passes, when a body suitable for the power he embraces is prepared. I waited, thinking that it would be okay.
But I was tired of being betrayed by such expectations and smiling bitterly.
“hahahaha.”
“oh! Mother laughed. Are you feeling relieved? Did you like the treasure I prepared?”
“yes… … I see.”
yeah, it doesn’t matter anymore
Failure doesn’t matter anymore.
Nix will now turn back time and bring back the original [Demon King].
So there is no need to continue playing house like this. Nyx stretched both hands toward the neck of the young [Demon King].
And at that moment… … .
-You sad beast who can’t even distinguish an inch ahead. Do you really intend to live with your eyes closed?

Kang Chul’s words suddenly came to mind.
The hand that was about to twist his neck stopped in the air.
“… … ?”
Mephistopheles looked at Nyx’s hand, which stood tall in the air, as if it were strange, then smiled and put the ring on that finger.
“You are pretty!”
“… … .”
Nick’s eyes widened.
My heart was shaken by the ring on my finger.
With such a wavering heart, Nyx reached out… … .
“mother?”
“Yes, Mephi… … . You are so pretty.”
He hugged Mephisto and stroked his hair.
The child is not guilty.
The one who is guilty is the one who made that child into a [Demon Lord].
Yes, I decided to meet him again, even if I had committed all my sins.
I decided to get him back by erasing and destroying everything.
But that… … .
‘There is no reason why I have to kill this child yet.’
The evil in front of you is the sin you created yourself. If so, you must take responsibility.
Accelerate the child, or look at the evil that the child does out of innocence. that’s her role
– Turning back time means giving up everything up until now. Have you really not had anything precious during your journey so far?

Kang Chul’s words upset Nix like an old wound.
Nyx, who was hugging Mephistopheles, had cold eyes.
Yes, she still… … .
‘My precious thing is only the demon lord.’
I had my eyes closed.
* * *
After the small storm of meeting with Janus has passed.
Returning to ＜Skientia＞, I faced an even bigger storm.
“Did you do it with the saintess?”
“… … .”
Do you have tea?
No, where are you?
How the hell did you even notice that?
My poker face would have been perfect.
“I think it’s a natural consequence.”
Lucia glared at me with cold eyes and said.
I should have gotten used to seeing her staring at me at this point, but I still feel breathless.
Is it because the concentration of contempt is thicker than usual? I do not know.
“Outing with the saintess, that led to a night out. Well, I think it can be done so far. Lord Olivia was with him right away, so I guess I’d normally be late for work.”
“… … .”
“By the way, Oz.”
Lucia nodded while leaning against the wall. There is no Yangachi.
“Immediately after returning. Did the saintess cover her face and immediately lock herself in her room and not come out?”
“Actually, between these days, there were some nasty things… … .”
“If that’s the case, there’s no way you wouldn’t go to comfort the saintess who’s been so isolated, right? Are you none other than you? You weren’t afraid to overthrow the empire.”
“It was for you.”
“No, uh… … . that, that’s not it Uh hmm! Will you please stop talking?”
what a waste.
If I pushed a little harder, I could have changed the topic like this, but I made a mistake.
The train has already left, so the same method won’t work.
“You, who used to go to the lead room to the extent of being annoying, keep your distance. There is no feeling that it is serious or awkward, and the current situation is to take that distance as if it were natural.”
“It’s a great guess. Why don’t you try being a detective instead?”
“huh… … .”
Lucia took something out of her arms at my sarcastic remark.
A license, and that was a license for a detective. No, where the hell did this bastard come from?
Since he is actually a detective, this interrogation is even more uncomfortable.
“Well, of course it’s heart disease, but it’s heart disease.”
Lucia said as if making excuses with a blushing face.
“Because if you’re the one I know, there’s no way you’d stay still at a time like this… … .”
“… … .”
I think I know why you’re so shy when you say it.
Yeah, doesn’t that mean you know me so well?
What if I said this?
Wouldn’t that be incredibly embarrassing?
What do we do… … . I missed you.
“It means you know me well because you’ve been watching me to the point of stalking me. I understand.”
“Su, you never stalked me?!”
Lucia screams in the middle of the boulevard, perhaps embarrassed.
As expected, Lucia is extremely shy. I can’t even make eye contact with mine.
Well, wasn’t he the one who was shy and distanced himself right after the Empire’s affairs were settled in the first place?
It could be that they just appeared because they were embarrassed by the sudden situation, but they haven’t sorted it out in their minds yet.
“Ah, anyway, that’s not what’s important, so don’t change your mind… … .”
“Yes, I did.”
“uh… … .”
If the opponent is Lucia, there is nothing to hide.
Now that my mind has been sorted out, I have nothing to hold back anymore. Although Janus remains, if he cannot be stopped anyway, the world will be destroyed.
I already knew about myself
I am not a stranger, but a new life that has sprouted inside Oz.
So, I am Oz himself, not anyone else.
i am oz
“therefore?”
“Uh, that… … .”
Lucia hesitates and withdraws at my confident attitude.
She seems to have come to question the sudden change in the situation, but it is clear that she did not think about it after that.
“for a moment… … Please don’t come closer.”
“why.”
“Ah, I’m not ready yet mentally!”
As she steps closer to Lucia, who hesitates and withdraws, he waves his hand to block it.
It’s like this stupid guy.
What are you thinking right now in your head? I hadn’t even thought about it until now.
It seems that this cheeky cat has done it, though.
Furthermore, seeing as he closed his eyes tightly and waved his hands, it was clear that he was imagining it in a very specific way.
“… … .”
I stare at Lucia, who is wary of me and has her tail erected.
I’m already half crying.
Anyone who sees it will know that I am bullying Lucia.
“… … The first time is difficult, the second time is difficult.”
yes, that’s right
I’m bullying the guy.
Aren’t you the kind of guy who has the taste to bully?
Grabbing Lucia’s hand trying to dissuade me, I step closer.
It’s become very nice to see.
In that brief moment, the preparation of the mind seemed to have been completed, but the hand holding me back had no strength at all.
“Well, this is a joke.”
“… … .”
The atmosphere instantly freezes.
Lucia, who grasped the situation, sat down as it was. Seeing that he didn’t rebuke me, unlike usual, it must have been more of a sense of shame.
“You came just fine. There’s something I’d like you to help me with.”
“… … Wouldn’t it be too shameless to think that I, who has been through this, will do that favor?”
“What is this?”
“I mean being fooled by you!”
I’ve never really told a lie.
Wasn’t it rather she who ran amok by herself? I am proud
“… … so? What is it?”
“No matter what you do, you will eventually listen. Can I kiss you?”
“Yeah, that’s later… … .”
He’s a proud boy.
A strong work ethic
Of course, ＜Tenebris＞ is currently closed.
It seemed that there were many things left to be resolved in various ways, since the work within the empire was work.
Well, for the time being, it will be hard to even see the face of Discree. He’s usually a busy guy, but he’ll be even busier with this one.
“I want to find some people.”
“Are you a woman?”
“uh.”
“How can you be so confident?”
I’ve done too many things to be intimidated by this.
If I respond as if I am uncomfortable now, will I only hear more muttering?
“who? Who do I know?”
“… … Someone who would know very well, no, would have known.”
Eleanor von Chrysos.
I still need to find the guy who is handling the monsters in the empire.
Eleanor will die sooner or later if we don’t stop her reckless steps before it’s too late.
More novels at noblemtl.com
Killed by monsters… … . Or take your own life.
Will I just watch it?
But finding Eleanor is impossible. As long as he activates the power of the key, it’s clear that quite a few people will quickly forget him even if they think of him.
Then, even if I entrusted the request to Lucia, it is certain that the request itself will be forgotten sooner or later.
So what I need to find is not Eleanor.
Not just a few people, but more than anything else, someone who would be familiar with Eleanor’s key.
“Sister Justitia… … Hero, I want you to find Justitia.”
Perhaps because of the old gaslighting, the title of older sister stuck to her mouth.
anyway… … .
It’s no different that I was able to focus on my work in the empire this time.
It was because he thought that if it was Justitia, he would be able to find Eleanor.
The Heros clan, who were said to have managed the [Understander’s Key] for generations.
It is impossible to erase her memories of the key she possesses.
No matter how great the power of severance is, it cannot sever the history deeply engraved in the soul.
It’s nothing to think about her if there’s a chance.
That’s the ribbon wrapped around my wrist.
It is a symbol of the existence of my soul, which has already affirmed me.
Same with Justitia.
Eleanor cannot distort her perception of her, whose roots as the Heros clan are related to the key.
“Then may I ask?”
I have no intention of leaving Eleanor alone. The guy who was annoyingly attached to you all this time is now moving away from you? There is a level of shamelessness.
If you’re going to come and get away from me now.
I’ll stick with you this time
