132. His Legacy
opened my eyes
It was hard to see ahead in the foggy water vapor.
are you alive
was alive
“Turn it off…”
The terrible pain he felt from his right shoulder proved it. Pain is a sign that you are alive.
“···haha.”
Daphner chuckled.
I saw his bow in front of me. A bow specially commissioned by the craftsmen of the Werft Kingdom. It was damaged to a large extent by the scorching heat, but not completely broken.
But it wasn’t his hand to grab it and shoot.
Literally evaporate.
from your finger to your shoulder. My right finger, my hand, my wrist, my arm, and my shoulder all melted.
The pain turned my head white. But I endured.
For once he lived, but he had no idea how things were going or how long it had been since he passed out.
Fortunately, the water vapor generated by the meeting of snow and fire turns into mist and hides him.
‘You must find it.’
Daphner’s head quickly turned to the extreme desire for survival.
The reason why the Four Heavenly Kings use the flag to kill him is because he saw the tower. If you stop dying, you can ask the location of the tower again.
then.
What if you grow the board altogether?
What if there is no answer other than to annihilate everyone in the search party?
‘I can’t do that!’
Although he was a star, he was different from the hero himself. It includes the prince of the empire and the prince of the kingdom. In particular, although the third prince of the empire, Martin, was inferior to other members of the royal family, he was closely related to the succession to the throne.
‘For some reason, the third prince was with the search party.’
Found it while running away. I don’t know why. But it was good for him.
Daphner began to move through the fog.
Fortunately, after a while, I found a group.
“majesty!”
I was lucky. The Prince of Korzen was not far away, and his bodyguard was with him.
“Daffner Ball! Arm…!”
“It doesn’t matter now. Your Majesty, I have found the tower!”
“…to the tower?”
“Is that for real?”
“That’s right!”
Daphner handed him the scorecard.
“It is a basin about 5 kilometers north of the highest peak. Surrounded by peaks and hard to see, it’s the perfect place to hide the tower.”
It was only natural that those who came thinking only of the top of the mountain could not find it.
“You have to take good care of it.”
As soon as I wrote it anyway, I made a copy just in case, but I didn’t know what if. I vowed to give one to every person I met.
“Of course. I will never lose it. So, first of all, hurt…”
“it’s okay. I will find His Majesty Martin. So, please let the other searchers know about this as well.”
“What is that….”
…do you mean?
Belloff’s words could not reach him. Because Daphner was already gone.
Daphner, who escaped the prince’s sight in an instant and threw himself into the mist, was desperately alert.
‘Hurry up to the prince….’
You just need to find the 3rd prince. You can distract him if you just let him know.
But my body didn’t follow as well as I thought.
‘what···?’

My body suddenly felt heavy.‘Are you too tired…’
No, I bled too much, maybe it’s because I’m bleeding.
‘···dizzy.’

Maybe it was because I was too tired and bled too much? My head was spinning. I worked hard to fix the new one.That was then.
– You look very tired.
A voice was heard. I looked around, but no one was there. Even if I spread the feeling, I didn’t feel anything.
‘A hallucination?’
No, it’s so clear it can’t be.
“Who are you?”
– Who?
The voice was familiar.
“…the dark Elementalist.”
– happy. You remember my name.
Damn Four Heavenly Kings.
Daphner clenched his teeth and sprinted. I had to find someone. But no matter how much you run, run, run and run. Strangely, it didn’t feel popular.

My arms and legs got heavy. I was short of breath and my head was pounding. When it reached its limit, Daphner was rolling on the floor. Dirt and snow stinged into my mouth.“What is this…”
Daphner was astonished when he saw his only remaining arm and leg. The water vapor was clinging to it. He was holding him heavy and dragging him like a shackle.
“Since when···?”
“Well, when?”
The voice no longer rang. heard from afar.
A dark spiritist wearing a mask in the mist raised his head.
“From the moment you wandered.”
she whispered
“It got into you very slowly. He didn’t notice because of an injury.”
“Four years…!”
“Don’t get excited. When you are excited, you bleed more. Then it hurts even more.”
“Shut up!”
“I feel sorry for meeting you like this.”
For Ernyl Hilderan, Daphner was not very close. All that was related to him was her father.
However, it was true that we had met a few times, and that Daphner treated me kindly every time he had a certain kind of heart.
But in everything, relationships have priorities. Less important, more important.
Berger takes precedence over Daphner. That was it.
“Daffner.”
she came slowly
Daphner stepped back. tried to hit Arms and legs tied in the mist did not allow even that.
distance is getting closer
Daphner’s heart beats like it’s about to explode.
What should I do?
how.
How can I live?
I didn’t even have the strength to resist. Still, I wanted to live. I was thinking of a way to live.
That moment.
“Daffner.”
The voice whispers once more.
eyes meet
the world slows down
‘··········.’
Sparkling amethyst eyes.
Platinum blonde hair fluttering in the mist.
Innocent speech.
Why?
familiar with
It can’t be, but it’s never going to happen, but the head shouts that it’s not, but why?
Worst assumptions cross your mind.
Pupil shakes. The dark spiritist noticed his change.
“···I.”
she smiles sadly
“Did you know?”
“···really.”
“Right.”
“···why?”
“Even if you tell me, you won’t understand.”
“No one, no one will understand.”
After hearing the confirmation, I was rather calm. No, is it calm? He just couldn’t figure out how to respond to something far beyond his awareness.
tuk-
Then, something caught on my back. It was someone’s foot.
“Daphner?”
In the mist, Hillen Cargill approached. Daphner was displeased.
“Hilan!”
“Are you okay?”
“I am fine. More than that, the Four Heavenly Kings…”
“The Four Heavenly Kings?”
“The Four Heavenly Kings…”
No words came out. Because I couldn’t believe it even after seeing it for myself. It was so far from the common sense he knew.
But that silence was completed by Hillen.
“Can the Four Heavenly Kings be the Crown Princess of Hilderan?”
“That’s right….”
Wait a minute.
“How do you do that?”
“Well, how do I know?”
“What is that?”
“Are you sure your eyes are blocked?”
Hillen’s gaze was not on Daphner. After passing through him, he reached the Four Heavenly Kings, the Dark Spirit Magician, and Ernyl Hilderan.
“There are a few people I can see through, but at least not around right now.”
“···no way?”
The worst assumption came to mind, even worse than I thought.
no way.
“···you.”
“Why are you calling me?”
The casual smile made the spine even cooler.
no way.
really hope
A feeble living made the family a certainty.
“. . . humanity.”
“you’re right.”
my heart sank.
“…are you not the hero who killed the two demon kings? Why is it that you, who have everything promised, are on the side of the Demon King?”
“I never knew I would be like this.”
But what if this happened?
“Still, please don’t be too embarrassed.”
People have their own circumstances.
“As much as you have come all the way here to live, I am just struggling to live.”
“Please let me go without pain.”
Ernya murmured. That was the last courtesy to the Daphner Philian.
“Am I supposed to thank you?”
Daphner chuckled at her consideration.
It was neither funny nor happy. was giving up Desperation came out of nowhere to live.
The kidnapped princess and the one who deserved to be the greatest warrior betrayed humanity and joined the side of the Demon King.
“Healan Cargill. You will pay the price someday. Do you think you can cover the sky with your finger?”
“I don’t think it’s possible because it’s not a finger.”
The Demon King is a being that can never be cut with his fingers.
“We’ll see where that confidence goes.”
“Unfortunately, you don’t see it.”
Daphner closed his eyes.
spatula-
A single line was drawn.
After a long run, severe injuries, and heavy bleeding, Daphner could not resist. didn’t even try
He just opened his eyes and stared at the traitor of mankind and smiled in despair.
The good impression was distorted. The screen changed and rotated. I saw a mask. Pure white skin, platinum blonde hair, a mask and innocent eyes.
The world was spinning.
breathed cold air. I caught a smiling spirit from behind the woman.
The scattered red bloodstains were beautiful. The white world came closer.
iron puck-
I felt the heat at first, then the chill. The bitterness, the cold that pushed it away, permeated his lips.

My eyelids were heavy. A shadow fell through the shimmering sight.something fell A hot, red stream covered his face.
oh
He later realized that it was his body.
your neck is cut off
That was the end.
Without even closing their eyes, the soul left the body.
A star that lit up the darkness fell.
* * *
Gripping Jig-
The artificial fog has been lifted.
“Unlocked!”
“The wizards have cleared the fog!”
Through the snow that had completely melted into water, barren land and a huge crater appeared.
What filled its interior was red water and the flesh of creatures. The defendant was a corpse.
“···Oh My God.”
Survivors were astonished by the horror.
It wasn’t because of the fire the demons spit out. It wasn’t because of the craters it created.
A half-burnt corpse.
A corpse with traces of its neck ripped off.
Because he was a great star.
Daphner Philian.
One of the ten stars representing the warriors fell.
The prince, the prince, the knights, the wizards, the rangers. The survivors kept their mouths shut, as if they had made a promise.
He quietly retrieved the body and treated the wounded.
The prince and prince watched the scene and spit in their mouths.
“…what would you like to do?”
“·················ogue.”

Martin bit his lip.The demon that blew out flames was the Demon King. The Demon King himself killed the Daphner Philian.
why?
Why is the Demon King himself?
‘Is this a warning to me?’
It felt like pressure to keep promises. It seemed to be roaring that he could leave the tower at any time and behave differently from standard.
And the star that hid among the search corps, the Daphner Philian, was killed, and the terrifying flame that burned everything was the same.
‘You killed the Daphner Philian. You mean you can easily kill someone like me?’

Maybe it was a warning to stop thinking about looking for the tower any more and go back.“I think it would be better to retreat.”
As he pondered, Bellov was the first to speak up.
“The damage is great. And above all, when the Daphner Philian died, morale plummeted.”
The shock of Daphner Philian’s death itself.
And the fear of the high-ranking demons who killed him.
The two were wrapped around the entire search party.
Daphner Philian is dead and we?
High-level demons are like that, how do you get a demon lord?
“His sacrifice is regrettable, but that is why we need to withdraw further. We need to reorganize and let them know their strength and level. I am angry and regretful, but this search is a failure.”
“However.”
“If the Crown Prince does not go, I will retreat. Forcing it in this state will only increase pointless damage.”
“···All right.”

Martin nodded as if he couldn’t help it.He also had a retreat in mind, so there was no reason to refuse if he told me first.
“And in fact.”
Bellov’s voice became low.
“···········?”
“. . . we have accomplished our mission.”
“What does it mean?”
Belloff took out the recorder.
“This is the location of the tower. I found the tower.”
“…how do you do this?”

Martin’s voice faltered.“Before Daphner died, he gave it to me.”
“···Oh My God.”
“I can give this to Your Majesty. But not just.”
“·················ogue.”
It was a short time for Belloff, but he was worried.
How and how to use this enormous amount of information about the location of the tower.
It wasn’t the right way to monopolize. They could show the imperial incompetence of the Empire and their own competence, but that was the worst way to pretend to be with the Empire.
“Your Majesty, it will be very important who figured this out. Because that is the situation in the Empire.”
“Want to trade?”
“Yes.”
So it turned Whoever has to share the ball is next to him. If that’s the case, let’s make a kite with a little bit of sympathy.
Although the 3rd Prince is weak compared to the 1st Prince, 2nd Prince, and 1st Princess, he was also the Prince of the Empire and was counted among the four fingers.
“I will give you strength.”
so.
“Your Majesty, please be my strength.”
for the benefit of each other.
