258. Familiar
In a way, it was a scheduled sleep.
The demon king named Jason ate dozens of demon kings and countless warriors and humans for hundreds of years.
How much energy has accumulated over that long period of time and how great his power will be.
Even if it was a demon dragon, no matter how long before, it was absurd to swallow it without any problem, even if it was a Berge that had gained strength through the surface of the water and widened the vessel.
I didn’t know how long this sleep would be, but fortunately, Berge had a family he could trust and entrust to him. The problem with Jason was also gone.
Berge fell asleep safely.
But this sleep was different from any other time.
The mind, which should be immersed in a long deep sleep along with the body, has entered the external world of imagery, not the deepest place inside.
“…are you?”
It wasn’t too difficult to pinpoint the reason.
“me. yes.”
Because the black figure looked at him and waved what was supposed to be with his hand.
“Where are you?”
It wasn’t inside the tower’s system where he first met Alain before.
“make. friend.”
“If it’s your friend, is this tower?”
“yes.”
Berger sighed.
It couldn’t be denied that it was hard to believe even though all the circumstances were falling apart.
The shape in front of him is a beggar-like dimension, Arain’s will.
It is said that he, who had enough power to be promoted to a higher dimension, had degenerated to the point that he could not speak properly in return for returning Berge.
“What on earth were you thinking that brought me back?”
“no?”
“There will be few who dislike being given one more chance.”
After all, after returning, Berger succeeded in the end despite its ups and downs. I found the darkness that drove him to death and killed him.
Even when he became a demon king, he acquired the power that was not lacking, and he also conquered the continent.
However, no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand why the dimension had pinned Berger back.
“Didn’t you say you brought me back because you couldn’t stop Jason?”
“yes.”
“I am also a demon king. What do you believe in me?”
It’s time to admit that Araine has done what she wanted. But that was a coincidence. He was very fond of the dimension he came to conquer, and his relationship with the demon realm was also very distorted. Who could have known it would be like this
“gambling.”
“Is it a gamble?”
“Die, you. eve. fall.”
past before regression. After Berge’s death, Jason revealed his true nature. He took full control of the Empire and devoured the entire continent. He said that he approached the essence of the dimension by fighting blood and war every day.
It is said that they tried to uproot the dimensional power by consuming it.
“eve. extinction.”
I wondered if such a thing was possible, but I thought it might be possible with that crazy Jason.
In fact, I was confident enough to approach the essence of the dimension in the current Berger. More than anything else, it’s a comeback, but it can’t be that much.
In any case, it is said that in such a situation, Berge was the one who was comparable to Jason and full of resentment.
“What if I tried to destroy you just like Jason did?”
“no.”
“No?”
“worst. devildom. belonging. death. no.”
It was correct. Even if the relationship with the demon realm did not go wrong, even if he did not have feelings for Arain, the worst from Araine’s point of view was the level at which the dimension was conquered and belonged to the demon realm.
It was fundamentally different from Jason, who tried to conquer the Demon Realm by uprooting the root of the dimension.
“Okay, I got it.”
“yes.”
“But there is one more.”
“In addition?”
“Is that really the tower?”
“yes. friend. same. with me.”
A dimension called Arain called this tower his friend. He said he was like himself.
So this tower.
‘The will of the demon world.’
When I think about it that way, everything fits together like a puzzle.
Why is there no dimensional will in the Demon Realm, a higher dimension than anywhere else?
It became a tower and it was split into 50 pieces.
Why can’t more towers be built?
It wasn’t made in the demon realm, it’s in the demon realm itself.
How do towers break through dimensional barriers and prevent interference?
Because it’s higher level.
Why does the tower have so many powers?
Because it’s higher level.
‘It’s almost universal.’
But the question still remains.
Why did the will of the demon world turn into a tower and split into 50?
Arain said that the will of the demon realm remains in the tower.
‘When it was one, it was literally a remnant. I said that even though normal conversation is impossible now with 20 units, communication between dimensions is possible.’
If so, if you put all 50 of them together, wouldn’t it look good?
I was curious.
Why did the will of the demon world make such a choice? What is the truth of the legend of the first demon king?
There was a desire to invade the demon realm immediately. But unlike the mind, the body was still asleep.
“If it is a dimension, do you know when I will be able to rise?”
Of course I don’t know. It was just something I said. I think I’ve only been asleep for about two hours now.
“now.”
“What?”
“different. hour.”
match-
Araine applauded.
“wake up. meet. soon. again.”
* * *
A pure white light struck.
opened my eyes
A familiar scene unfolded. It was the top of the tower. It was on the throne where he slept.
But Ernya was seen. Behind them were the spirits.
– uh?
– woke up.
The spirits murmur
“…why is this happening?”
Ernya blinked and closed her eyes.
Why is this happening, what kind of bullshit?
Before I could even ask what it was, Ernya suddenly hugged me. I could feel the warmth and breath. Involuntarily, he stroked her hair as his body trembled.
“I thought you wouldn’t wake up.”
“Can’t you wake up?”
“Niasu-sama woke up in hundreds of years and said that I would be old at that time.”
“I don’t think you will get old just because hundreds of years have passed.”
“Of course, I am not going to stand still.”
“How much time has passed?”
“It’s been a little over two years.”
“really?”
I think it was an hour or two.
“How did you expect me to wake up?”
“It’s a coincidence. I come once a week.”
– No. You woke me up!
“You woke me up?”
“…it’s just a joke.”
“I’m more curious.”
“If Nairuniel-sama exhausted his magic, he would get up…”
Berge’s eyebrows twitched.
“Are the loggers mad again?”
“no. I just said yes and tried it once. So···.”
“So did I wake up?”
“yes.”
“···not.”
If it is rumored that it happened because of the sound of exhausting magic twice, the majesty of the Demon Dragon does not stand immediately.
“It was just luck that the timing was right. It happened when it was time to wake up.”
“believe.”
– Believe it.
– Whoa! Your body evaporates!
Berge, who lightly treated Nairuniel, clicked his tongue.
“When can I get rid of that?”
“It’s true, though, that it helps a lot.”
“I’m sorry. But what about the other guys?”
“Logger is renovating the tower.”
“What?”
“There are dozens of devices that the dwarves and the dwarves made together to attach more when the demon lord wakes up.”
“You are doing something worthwhile. Gordon?”
“We are working together with the most passion. You are still on the first floor.”
I guess it wasn’t like that until I fell asleep. completely soaked
“What about Kaedena Lavinia?”
“Kaeden-sama is helping the Emperor in the Empire. As the Empire’s top knight, he played a major role in rectifying the war-torn policing. And Lavinia is down there now.”
“Are you making a chimera?”
“You know this is Casey? It was said that he was the lieutenant of the Demon King of the Beasts.”
“I remember. I accepted the lie by killing it.”
At first, he regarded Berge as an enemy, but realized that he was just playing with Jason, and he was a lieutenant of Draxon who became loyal later.
“yes. Except for Reina-sama and some Frost Demons, it is the strongest of the demons. At the same time, he is the only high-level demon who has no objection to the chimera. They say they do anything to become strong.”
“You must have died because you liked Lavinia?”
“yes. After all, there are many by-products of the demon kings that the demon king gave them.”
“There will be one more usable power. Reina?”
“Reina-sama…”
The story got deeper and deeper. Two years has been a long time and a lot has happened during that time.
Ernyan constantly whispered as if he was about to be rewarded for the wait.
“Would you like some chocolate?”
“Is this chocolate from two years ago?”
“Things in subspace do not rot.”
Berge fed him chocolate.
“I missed this taste. Eating out these days doesn’t taste like this.”
“I bought this from outside too.”
“That’s what it means.”
she laughed
– Hang it. too sweet The atmosphere is too sweet for a conversation between a demon king and a princess. Sweeter than chocolate.
Nairuniel forcibly stretched out her shriveled hand.
– Uh huh. Also, I have to agree with you on this point. It’s definitely worth seeing.
– sure. Nias, at least trust me in this field.
– Okay, so what’s next for this lover? Demonic punishment?
– As a result of watching Berge for several years, it is unconditional.
– The question is, will you go alone or will the Four Heavenly Kings go together?
– I’ll go.
– Are you going?
– Are you a family member? Are you going to take not only the Four Heavenly Kings, but also the stars and the heroes? If you go to the Demon Realm, the dimensional power will disappear and you will be limited as an aggressor, but since there is this tower, you cannot leave it behind. There’s no way I can stand by Ernya’s demon lord going alone.
– ah.
The Spirit King has attained enlightenment.
– But I don’t think it’s right now.
– Yeah, I have a place to go.
At the same time, the story was coming out of Ernian’s mouth.
“…that’s why Granada-sama became the king of Elven.”
“Is that guy a high elf royalty?”
That fucking bastard?
I knew there must be a secret hidden in my identity, so I sent Charlotte and the Elves to see if they could swallow the Elven, but I thought it would be real.
“invitation?”
“yes. To the Demon King.”
“Is she crazy?”
It’s good to be king. However, sending an invitation to the Demon King was an act that crossed the line.
The elves, who love nature and cherish dimensions more than anyone else, invite the demon king, the invader, to the elven?
No matter how friendly the humans were, the other elves wouldn’t be able to stand still.
“What is it, I said revelation.”
“timing?”
“The revelation of the world tree.”
“What else is that crazy?”
“The World Tree gave a revelation to the Demon King to call him. That’s why the elves are anxious, but they say that they have to call the Demon Lord unconditionally, right?”
“The world tree seems to have turned around.”
After all, since the dimension of Arain has turned around, it is natural that the world tree that has its roots in it is crazy.
“Are you going?”
“It wouldn’t be a bad idea to go.”
If it was a revelation of the World Tree, it could be that Granada was a family member, and it was appropriate for the first step that had been quiet for two years.
In particular, as Gordon and Raina have acted as doves of peace instead of Berge, meeting the elves and having a conversation of peace will have great symbolism.
‘It’s unfortunate that the amount of Magi gathered has greatly decreased.’
There was not much stockpile for the Magi who had been gathering for two years. But it didn’t matter. I’m thinking of going to the demon realm soon anyway. In the demon world, there is an abundance of magi.
“Then I’ll do it that way.”
“Thank you for taking care of me while I was sleeping.”
“You’re welcome. Reina-sama suffered more than me. I did a lot of this and that as the Demon King’s agent.”
she smiled bashfully. Seeing that, Berge hugged her unconsciously.
was warm
* * *
A few days later, the Demon King’s Tower arrived at Elven.
“Nice to meet you. I am the King of Elven, Granada Pasvelium.”
Berge decided to match the rhythm to Granada’s attitude as if it were the first time they had seen it.
Yes, now my name is the King of Elven.
“Yes.”
“It was late. The invitation was sent a month ago.”
“therefore?”
“Hey, that cheeky…!”
“Even if he is a demon king, this is the king of the elvens!”
“stop.”
Granada blocked the elders. He knew well that if he stimulated him more, he would become an Elven itself that flew away.
“The World Tree finds you.”
“Why should I meet him?”
“Because that would be beneficial.”
“What is the basis for making such an assumption?”
“You will know that when you meet him. Aren’t you here to meet me anyway?”
Berge grinned at Granada’s desperately winking face with a blind spot invisible to the elders.
“Yeah, let’s go.”
The tower, which had been dormant for two years, was moved. It floated in the skies of Elven.
The World Tree was located in the very center of the Elven.
“From here on, you and I will go in alone.”
“Your Majesty, you and the Demon King are alone…”
“The World Tree is watching.”
“Okay…”
The Demon King and the High Elf entered the elven’s deep place.
“It’s pathetic.”
“Can’t you just adjust the rhythm a little bit? Someone who is quick-witted. As a king, I have a torso. How wise are the elders?”
“Why should I do that?”
“Isn’t it difficult to save a little bit of face?”
“If the person who has deceived the royal family so far is also a subordinate.”
“You were just guessing, so you sent Charlotte, didn’t you? I will tell you all about it later.”
“Don’t expect it.”
“This is in front.”
After a while, when he arrived in front of the world tree that he had been searching for with all his heart, he could see the tree branch waving towards him.
– Welcome. again.
No matter how much I think about it, this way of speaking is very familiar.
