Unknown Demon King
As they headed towards the center of the dungeon, the party’s condition worsened.
My body did not move properly, so my steps slowed down, and I couldn’t even breathe properly.
simple presence.
Only the influence emanating from his own magical powers had brought him to this state.
Fortunately, those with magical resonance abilities like Lily, Anna, and Arya were able to resist the influence to some extent by hardening their surroundings with magic resonance, but even Eileen Catheus, who had the highest achievement in the group, was not able to escape from the aftermath. .
‘What the hell?’
Ahead of that powerful magic wave, Leon made a serious expression.
Until now, Leon has been subjugating a number of enemies that are presumed to have EX-class, that is, demon lord-class strength.
The Mosqueer Queen, who will later reign as the Queen of the Demon Realm, was treated as an S-class in the Holy Empire, but in reality, it was close to the status of a Demon King, and I also tried to deal with the iron-blooded swordsman, Genocid, who trained the martial arts of the 12 castles.
And in addition to that, the Death Lord, who reigned over countless undead.
A powerful enemy with 12 star Auras and 8 circle magic, and at the same time possessing 7 different bodies.
It could be said that he was truly an opponent comparable to the Demon King.
However, no other enemies had such a presence.
‘In the first place, where did Magic Tower, the president of the academy, and the third prince, Bruce, procure EX-grade dungeons?’
The existence of EX-grade dungeons threatens the kingdom and furthermore, the survival of mankind.
Of course, if such a dungeon existed on the Radiant Continent, it would not have been possible to hide the rumors about it.
Most of all, it was the monsters in this dungeon that were suspicious.
The amount of magical power it possesses is comparable to that of an S-Class.
However, it lacks the instincts as a living creature and the intelligence to skillfully handle its abilities.
Thanks to this, it was possible to subdue them with the abilities of Lily, Anna, and Arya, but Leon had no choice but to be puzzled.
I put a lot of effort into creating a dungeon that can contain a wave of magic like this, but the beings who use the dungeon are these mysterious monsters?
The question about him was gradually resolved as he got closer to the center of the dungeon.
“That’s…!”
Chains were hanging from the towering rocks, and a huge creature was sealed in the center.
At least 30 meters tall and the horns protruding above his head indicated that he was a demon.
And tentacles sprouted from that body, and its size continued to grow.
Right now, he couldn’t be restrained by the numerous chains that surrounded him, but if he continues to grow as he is, one day he will be able to break all the chains and regain his freedom.
And in the process of growing in size, the tentacles were torn from the giant demon’s body by chains, and they were slipping away from their seats.
The numerous tentacle monsters that existed in this dungeon were flesh that had fallen from the body of that demon.
The moment she confirmed its existence, Ailee backed away.
“No, maybe? Nope! It cannot be.”
Leon could sense that she knew something in Ailee’s reaction.
“Does your sister know who that demon is?”
“I am not a demon.”
Ailee rubbed her teeth with a pale face.
Ailee’s attitude, gripped by extreme fear, was an unfamiliar sight even for Leon, who prided herself on getting close to her.
“That is the unknown demon king.”
Are you a demon king?
But Leon tilted his head.
There are seven Demon Lords that Leon knows.
They were the Demon Lords of Darkness, Immortality, Void, Nightmare, Fear, Destruction, and Harvest.
Here, before Leon returned, the Queen of Predation, the Mosquee Queen, reigned as the unofficial Demon King.
Naturally, as far as Leon knew, the name of the unknown demon king was the first he had ever heard of.
Had he read Leon’s thoughts like that, Ailee continued.
“Of course you don’t know. Rumors about the unknown demon lord have been kept strictly secret. It is a being who serves an unknown demon, and its ability governs the concept of the unknown.”
“The concept of the unknown? But if that’s the case…”
On the contrary, wouldn’t it have led to a weakening of power to spread the word about him?
“The ignorance and the ignorance are different. If you are not aware of its existence at all, you become ignorant, but when you realize that it exists and you cannot understand it, then ignorance becomes unknown.”
“Then why do you know him? Why is that great demon king tied up in a place like this?”
Ailee then began to talk about the past in a soft voice.
One hundred years before the demon realm began to invade the human realm in earnest, the unknown demon king descended to this land as the vanguard of the demon tribes and devoured the southern tip of the continent in an instant.
When it was judged that humans could not overcome them, the angels of the heavenly army appeared with the summoning technique of the Holy Empire.
Among the celestial celestial clans that worshiped the celestial gods, they were the thousand celestial clans with the most powerful powers.
They were able to succeed in subduing the unknown demon lord with their power, but the unknown was not a being that could be killed in the first place.
In order to kill the unknown, it was necessary to understand the opponent accurately, and even among humans and the Elyos, there were no beings who could understand the unknown.
So what I decided to do was seal it.
They combined the power of the gods to create a space similar to a dungeon, and imprisoned the unknown demon king in it.
And the gods erased the memories of the unknown demon king from people’s memories, weakening its power.
It is only a matter of time before he breaks the seal and exits the dungeon.
If so, the intention was to weaken it as much as possible and delay the time as much as possible.
However, when the gnome broke the seal and descended into the human world once again, they had to know what kind of existence it was, so very few people knew about it.
It was the royal family of the Philo Kingdom who fought at the forefront with the unknown demon king at the time 100 years ago.
The Elyos sealed him in the land of the Philo Kingdom, and only made known its location and existence to the royals of the Philo Kingdom.
And it goes from royalty to royalty.
It has only been passed down to the few who will rule the Philo Kingdom.
And at that moment, a chain breaks.
iron wrinkle.
“Bruce, you crazy bastard. No matter how much I get in the way, at least I can tell the unknown.”
In the original history, Leon did not know about the existence of the unknown demon king until the moment of his death.
Originally, the seal of the unknown demon king meant that Leon would not be released until six years after he reached the age of majority.
But now, it seemed that the unknown demon king would break all the chains that bound him and regain his freedom at any moment.
In order to kill Princess Ailee, Prince Bruce asked for help from the Academy, Magic Tower, and the Magic Academy.
And the magic world wanted to kill Leon.
The magic circle and Prince Bruce, who had reached a consensus, talked about the means to kill them, and in the process, Bruce came to the idea of using an unknown demon king.
Since I knew a very powerful dungeon sealed with the unknown, I informed the world that I would be able to kill both Ailee and Leon by using it.
Of course, only a small number of people knew the unknown in the secret plan, but looking at the current situation, it seems that the small number of unknowns were sufficient to break the seal.
Worst case.
But Leon couldn’t hide the interesting smile that appeared on his face.
The unknown has been a very interesting subject for Leon since ancient times.
The moment when all the secrets and phenomena became clear whenever he learned about the facts he had not known since he was learning the knowledge of modern science, it gave Leon an indescribable pleasure.
And Leon turned one unknown into knowledge at this moment.
The core that forms this dungeon is the heart of that demon king.
In other words, if you want to get out of this space by destroying the dungeon core, it is impossible without crushing his heart and killing Miji.
That would be the last seal for the Elyos to imprison the unknown demon king here.
In other words, in order for Leon to survive, he must eventually subdue him.
If you can not avoid Enjoy.
Leon, who desperately felt the helplessness of not being able to do anything, always thought that saying sounded like a beggar, but he seemed to be able to enjoy it for this moment.
Leon proceeded towards the Demon King.
“Leon!”
Ailee panicked at that reckless gait and summoned Leon, but
“After all, you mean you don’t know anything about him, right? Then face-to-face is the only way to understand him.”
At Leon’s words, no one in the party could deny it.
However, facing the unknown was a frightening law for everyone.
However, seeing Leon’s back as he marched toward the unknown, the party barely had the courage to follow him.
And huge eyes, ugly eyes that seemed to have been crushed, poured on them.
A huge mouth opened, and a voice that could not be understood whether it was masculine or feminine, dull or clear, came out.
[Feel so good. you crazy beings. I am very satisfied with the sense of the unknown emanating from you.]
Looking at him, Leon developed his magic first.
The ray of lightning rising above your head, the wings of thunder that grew behind your back, your body has grown into an adult, and lint scale armor made of soul material like dragon scales sprouts from your skin and covers your whole body.
What floats on the palm of his hand is a pattern of Taegeuk made up of vast magical powers that are imminent in the eighth circle.
As they swirled around each other, they began to sweep away the magic around them.
As a result, it absorbs the developed Astrafe into the body with the magic of hatching thunderbolt.
“Overcharge.”
Cooper pairs of electrons that make up a room temperature superconductor are quantumly stacked and stacked endlessly.
The power of the thunder god concentrated on one point.
“Divine Impact!”
The Demon King, who could not be restrained by chains, had no choice but to be exposed to the enormous flash of light.
The brightest light in the world pierces the heart of the demon king, and black lightning rips apart the space along its path.
However,
[That’s rude.]
The next moment, the black lightning and the flash of light from Leon’s fingertips disappeared without a trace, and the heart that he thought had penetrated returned to its original form.
As if time went backwards.
“This······?”
[You don’t know. you don’t understand I am the one who rules the unknown. bow your head and worship worship the unknown Accept the incomprehension and adapt.]
At those words, Leon could feel the strange force binding his body and his will.
His knees collapsed on his own, and he tried to lower his head.
Worship of the unknown, faith and fear of the incomprehensible spread like ink dropped into clear water, like a shadow cast in front of the sun.
Already, everyone in the party was trembling, knelt down, bowed their heads.
But Leon resisted.
In response to that will, Leon’s earrings began to glow brightly.
Like when Leon’s magic pierced the Demon King’s heart, as if time had turned backwards, the force applied to Leon was nullified.
And Leon, who stood tall in front of the Demon King, looked straight into his eyes.
The distorted expression made by the already numerous tentacles intertwined is even more distorted.
Not understanding what had happened to Leon, he was tainted with displeasure towards the unknown.
Facing that expression, Leon smiled cheerfully.
“That’s how it happened.”
Another thing, the unknown has been turned into a base.
