218. Bloodfest (7)
The sight is familiar.
grim surroundings. profane blood. A dark, reddish sky. A huge castle in the distance. wide field.
‘Frequently seen scene.’
okay.
Now this scene was the background of the nightmares I had often had recently.
When I woke up here, I had blood on my hands.
Whose blood is it… … .
Maybe I knew too.
I pretended not to know, but I definitely knew.
It wasn’t the blood of a specific person.
That blood was the blood of all the people of the kingdom, including all the living beings gathered here.
Whatever the reason, I killed all people and monsters with my own hands.
After an unprecedented massacre, I stood alone and pondered the scene. that was my nightmare
The moment I read Doombia’s Prophecy, I realized that nightmares are precognitive dreams.
From the moment Krakchar, Devlani, and Argon, who couldn’t be here now, arrive, the incident flows out of control.
I slowly turned my head.
There stood Krakchar and Devlani with shocked expressions, with Argon hanging limply in Krakchar’s hand.
“ah.”
Yes.
they are loyal to me
However, before that, they were those who were loyal and subordinate to the Demon King.
For the revival of the demon king and demons, these guys believed in me and followed me, even if the method was somewhat strange.
However, what I just said was a complete betrayal of their loyalty and trust.
It meant a lot.
“Lord… … ?”
Faith shatters like glass, and Krakchar and Devlani fall into confusion.
I’m thinking about whose side to take over the devil and black fire.
They were in favor of ‘reform’, because they would not have thought of ‘treason’.
Revised dreams and prophecies.
I had no idea they would come at this timing.
I was momentarily taken aback by a variable that was out of my control, and I was speechless.
Taking advantage of that opportunity, the demon king seduces them with sweet words. My two loyalists are forced to turn their backs on me.
… … Now argon remains.
With the Pope dead, the value of Argon’s existence rises again.
It was the future I saw that he would crawl under the devil’s feet again and find his place.
Argon quickly regains his strength and subdues everything around him instead of the demon king.
Cain, Odelia, and Cyana are killed on the spot, as well as the royal knights who run from afar.
That’s how everything ends, and I lose my power to the demon lord and eat my soul.
… … What I saw in my dream was me inside the demon king, watching people slaughter and burn the kingdom.
Enraged by that, I gathered my last strength and killed the demon king from within and escaped.
As I had seen in my dream, my hands were bloody and everyone was dead.
This was the future he saw in Doombia’s prophecy, and the result of the precognitive dream that the nightmare told him.
My precious person died, and the demon king also died.
The prophecy must have come true.
“I have no dreams or hopes.”
* * *
“Lord. I must have heard wrong?”
Devlani cried a little and asked again. The heart’s tail fell limply to the bottom of the shaft.
“Lord. Say it again. Are you killing the Demon King? What is that?”

Krakchar asked again if it was hard to believe. Even this impatient guy believes in me until the end… … .
‘I must not give up.’
If I didn’t know, I would have been taken aback, but not anymore.
The terrible future is twisted with my own hands.
“Krakchar. Devlani. listen carefully.”
I mobilized all the strength I had been suckling in and raised the knife with both hands. The target was the devil laughing horribly.
“My plan was to kill the Demon King from the beginning.”
“What!?”
“… … !”
If you are embarrassed without saying anything, you will only become a thief caught stealing.
But what if you brazenly go out with a red flag? Even if I can’t do it, wouldn’t it be possible to become the ‘bandit’ Hong Gil-dong?
It is enough to make betrayal into a betrayal with a reason.
“Didn’t I tell you? Krakchar. Why did you come to hate humans?”
Destroy the demon legion through internal division.
“Remember why Bahanuntu died. Did a human kill Bahanuntu?”
“that… … .”

Krakchar’s eyes began to shake.
You should know that the demon king is not an absolute being, and that he is a bad guy who uses your monsters and demons.
Took.

Kraktsar loosened his arm. The argon that was held there rolled on the floor like a corpse.
But the guy is clearly out of breath. You will see this moment as an opportunity that will never come again, and you will be peeping at the gap.
“No, please tell me. Lord of Gaebyeok… … . Is this really the right reform?”
Read at noblemtl. com
Kraktsar asked with great agitation.
“Argon killed your friend. But think carefully about what caused it. Isn’t Argon doing that for the resurrection of the demon king?”
The demon king considers killing his own people to be just like killing bugs.
Because of the reason dominated by fear, these guys did not even have such doubts.
But what if you let them know that they are unfair and act as a shield beforehand? The winds of reform are bound to blow.
“Open your eyes.”

Kraktsar finally stepped out. The direction was in my direction.
“My lord, I’m going to die because I met the wrong person.”

Kraktsar smiled openly and stood beside me.
“Still, I will definitely avenge my best friend and die!”
“You, you conscienceless bastard! The seat next to me is mine!”
Devlani trembled and pushed Krakchar away.
It was the beginning of a real reform.
[Calculating story damage rate]
The predicted future has changed. Of course, the story damage rate goes up even more. Somehow, the limit line has to be made to be maintained.
Pod!
At that moment, a corpse that had been dumped on the floor jumped out.
I expected that Argon would look for an opportunity and run to the demon king.
We must stop that guy from reaching the Demon King. Because it’s the resurrection of the main villain.
“Eh, Demon King! Please take me back!”
But right now I was a scarecrow who couldn’t even hold the sword properly, and it was too late for Krakchar and Devlani to react.
Consciousness stretches.
I caught the flow of time so that everything would flow slowly.
‘now!’
It is a future that has already been seen once.
Of course, I was ready for everything.
It wasn’t that I sat idle and waited for the Pope’s carriage while Cyana dealt with Hera.
Just-!
I snapped my fingers with the last bit of strength left.
Boom, kwak-kwak-kwak!
Then, tremendous firepower that an ancient black flame dragon would emit exploded from the area.
black fire.
My blood and magic that I had scattered in advance exploded the surroundings, destroying the encirclement of the monsters, and another ember split the black fire.
Hwareuk!
It cut through the flames and drew sharp curves. The trajectory passed neatly through the neck of Argon, who was running towards the demon king.
“ah?”
It was a more beautiful blow than any sword I had ever seen.
Cain’s swordfish dropped Argon’s head.
“Cain!”
The authority of the demon king that follows.
I’ve been running since Cain cut Argon’s throat.
When the Demon King clenched his fist in the air again, the space around Cain was distorted.
I ran and cut off Cain’s body, and I took the demon king’s attack instead.
pushup,
A fountain of blood gushed out.
“Oh, Aren?”
Cain’s eyes widened. It was a shocked face.
Blood gushed from his left arm. exactly on the left shoulder.
My left arm was blown away by the demon king’s space compression magic.
“no!”
Cain ran and caught me from falling.
The Demon King tilted his head as he clenched and opened his fists, wondering what had gone wrong.
He still can’t handle his power properly. Originally, it wouldn’t have been strange if my entire body had been blown away.
“Lord!”
Devlani also ran and covered me, and Krakchar tried to protect us from the demon king.
Amidst the black flames, the Demon King was smiling coldly.
[Story Error Runaway]
[Calculating story damage rate]
“You are outraged.”
In fact, in the eyes of the Demon King, we were truly weak beings.
Even if he gestured, one of his arms would fly off and his head would explode.
“Aren. don’t die… … .”
Maybe it’s not my stupidity. Cain wiped my face with tears streaming down his face.
Okay. don’t die If you return to the hemp state, your arms will grow again.
“Ugh.”
I want to tell you that and reassure you, but honestly, I was so sick and tired right now that I couldn’t even keep my mouth shut.
Now either we had to run away or the demon king had to leave, neither of which seemed to come true.
The Demon King was approaching with a sad face.
“Is this all? You betrayed me, I thought you prepared something great.”
He even seemed disappointed in me.
“Aye. Do you have no energy to speak now? It’s disappointing.”
The demon king sighed heavily and looked around. The black flames gradually faded. The monsters that were unable to approach because of the black flame began to approach one by one.

Krakchar and Devlani tried to confront the demon king somehow, but they were also demons by birth.
Just looking at the demon king’s eyes made my limbs tremble. Of course, when the demon king walked, he was suppressed by fear and forcibly opened the way.
“Do not come.”
All that was left was Cain.
At least Cain was able to resist the demon king’s oppression.
Cain bravely raised his swordfish to protect me.
But even she couldn’t stop the demon king’s advance.
When he waved his arm as if to remove something from the demon king, Cain’s body flew away.
Cain just fainted. Krakchar and Devlani, who sided with me, were also unable to fight.
Now, only the demon king and I are left.
I lay down on the floor and only rolled my eyes to see the demon king.
Suddenly, an egg white appeared in front of my eyes. My heart was about to drop, but my body was so weak that I couldn’t even make a surprised expression.
“Kuk-kuk. hey Now is the time to reap. The impurity of the human soul kills you.”
The Demon King said something puzzling.
“Now, what are you going to do? If my hand touches you, you will die.”
“But you said you would kill me. What are you going to do?”
“I don’t think he’s the kind of person who would say something like that without any countermeasures.”
“If that’s the case, then Haiven, Regalug, and Diamon wouldn’t have suffered like that.”
“ruler. let me know What is the number of your spleen.”
All he could see was his whites. He put his face in front of his nose and spat out words.
It felt like my soul was being ripped out every time he spoke. I felt like I was going to lose my mind from the excruciating pain.
While telling me to show the number of spleens, in reality I was taking back the power of the great demons that had been shared with me.
In the first place, the power of the great demon tribe belonged to the demon king, so it was only a process of regaining one’s own.
“… … .”
I didn’t answer. I didn’t even have the strength to answer.
As if losing consciousness, he slowly closed his eyes.
“huh. It’s boring.”
I heard the demon king’s mocking voice.
I could feel his bloody hand on my forehead.
‘… … !’
power is drawn One of the two souls that were united is torn apart bit by bit.
I wanted to scream in excruciating pain.
It was better to die.
[Story damage rate 94%]
[Story damage rate 93%]
… … .
[Story damage rate 90%]
As my soul gradually entered the demon king, the damage rate also decreased as if the prophecy had come true.
… … And the moment I’ve been waiting for is now.
The story damage rate has dropped enough, and now I am defenseless for a while as the demon lord absorbs me.
His carelessness becomes the springboard for a reversal.
――Hook!
“Kuhm!?”
The demon king raised his body with a groan. Only then did my eyes widen again.
What I saw again was a rainbow-colored halo scattered in all directions.
‘The ancient elven magic dagger, Genen.’
The ancient elf’s powerful spell and the dagger imbued with the power of the sage’s eye pierced the demon king’s shoulder.
“die! Devil!”
The person who stabbed the demon king in the shoulder was none other than Odelia.
“On the human subject… … !”
“Kick!”
Odelia fell out of the way at the demon king’s struggle and rolled.
The veins sprouted again around the demon king’s eyes. He looked around. like looking for something He even stared somewhere.
“Get away from Allen! You crazy monster!!”
Standing there was Cyana, who used her little power to cast a leap spell. She gasped heavily.
Cain brought Odelia to Cyana, and Cyana waited for the timing before passing Odelia to the demon king with leaping magic.
And Odelia bravely struck the demon king with the elf’s dagger.
“Keugh!”
The Demon King’s shoulders cracked open.
Despite being called the Demon King, his current power was not perfect. A blow received in such a state must have been quite fatal.
The demon king’s whites turned red.
It worked.
“These guys… … !”
The Demon King clenched his fists and listened as if sending a hand signal.
The monsters and demons who saw that started to rampage.
The demon king ordered us to be killed.
Like a herd of hyenas, monsters pushing in from all directions.
Even if the demon king became lethargic for a moment, the charter situation was still overwhelmingly unfavorable.
Of course, this is a story when there are only ‘us’.

Koo-goo-goo-goo!
Dust rose from afar.
At the same time, the dark sky parted and light poured in.
As if the celestial army was charging in, they trampled on the monsters.
“father!”
Cain cheered with open arms.
A flag in the shape of a lion flutters. It was the Royal Knights.
Deckard Abella swept across the battlefield like an avalanche.
.
.
.
.
.
When everything was over and the dust settled, the Demon King was gone.
Even if it wasn’t so, it was strange that he had endured so much since he was just born and his strength was not yet perfect, and he even suffered Odelia’s blow of conversion.
As expected, he seemed to have run away.
[Story damage rate 90%]
The story was unaffected.
Whatever the process, there were still six acts left.
It was me, our victory.
* * *
The residual fire burns alone.
The bloodstained field clearly showed how brutal the last fight was.
But humans won.
Even if they couldn’t prevent the resurrection of the demon king, they drove out the demon king and defeated the monsters.
The royal family was safe, and all the people of the royal castle were safe.
At first, everything seemed to be resolved.
Except for just two things.
“Uh huh. Aree… … what should we do. Pal-i, Aren, Pal-i! aaang.”
“sh*t… … !”
“Lord! Are you very sick!? don’t be sick If it really hurts, I’ll bite the tail of my heart into my mouth!?”
One was Siana and Cain, who wept over seeing me dying without an arm.
“Kheung. that, but… … who are you?”
The other was Devlani, who naturally worried about me next to the two humans.
The gazes of Shiana, Cain, and Devlani crossed.
Odelia just watched this bizarre situation as if it were absurd.
