#Epilogue 06. Demon King Caesar’s Awakening Event
After Wilhelm Meyer was murdered at the hands of Lina, Caesar was gripped with extreme rage.
The people expected to be involved in the assassination were killed at random, and they mobilized all the monsters they had to launch an indiscriminate attack on the ground.
However, it was very difficult to annihilate the human beings protected by the two camps, the human camp and the good new camp.
“There must be some misunderstanding. Until the truth is revealed, my nanny and I will not move.”
When Dorothy Aegis and the nanny put the brakes on Caesar’s runaway and recruited moderates, Caesar could not run the run alone blindly. It was impossible to subdue even with force, fear, and power.
This is because, after a week of fighting, it has been proven that she and the nanny are equal strength and cannot overcome the will of the other by force.
“I will destroy the earth.”
“The monsters also died a lot. Since the gods are pouring out the sacred power they have saved, it is meaningless to send more troops.”
“When their divine power is exhausted, that is the end.”
“If this is the case, the seeds of the monsters will dry up first. The gods have been gathering divine power for over tens of thousands of years.”
“I will annihilate them even by myself.”
“The fact that I can promote as a sage is the same for Lina. If you kill the boss and become stronger, Lina will only be killed if you go alone.”
Dorothy Aegis was absolutely right.
Although resentful, he had to find a different way to get revenge.
“I will entrust the maintenance and parasol of the Demon King’s army to you.”
“Do you?”
“I’m going to start practicing.”
If you can’t break the world by yourself, you just have to be strong until you can break the world. Caesar was determined to become the most powerful man in the world, capable of crushing both the nanny and Lina.
Dorothy Aegis also supported him, thinking that it would be better for him. It was a hundred times better to practice quietly than to run around like a madman and massacre allies.
Caesar started training like that, but he ran into difficulties as soon as he started.
“There is no way to train.”
The way Caesar becomes stronger is by fighting enemies stronger than himself. From the time he lived as the Parakho in the back alley, he struggled and became stronger little by little.
However, the causal program generated by the system put a brake on his thinking.
“It’s a great skill. However, it is difficult I see a future where I can’t stand it for ten years and die.”
“Is this that I’m clumsy?”
“Your bastard can’t find a place to use his power. follow me Then it will allow you to exert your power in a more meaningful way. I will open the way for the absolute strong that neither nobles nor kings will fear.”
It was a false memory with the boss.
“As the boss said. It is said that the reckless exercise of power will only lead to death. If you go to the ground and fight blindly, you won’t be as strong as you used to be.”
I needed something to protect or depend on. Something precious to take the place of the boss.
He needed a milestone that could show the right direction to him, who only knows how to use violence, and provide the greatest benefit even with the same violence. As Wilhelm Meyer did while he was alive.
Neither Dorothy Aegis nor the nanny could be a milestone. Their assertions were not wrong, but there was no resonating heart.
“The words that move the heart…”
Could there be at least one other person in a world without bosses who could do that?
“You are a great fighter. You deserve my recognition.”
The first thing that came to mind was Gato, who received the memory correction. However, the fact that he was a dead person did not change even after receiving the memory correction. Caesar felt deep regret.
“If Gato had been alive, everything would have been different…”
Nothing really changes. Kato was an Iryu Musa.
“You foolish massacre!”
Still, there was one more.
It was a word that made him angry, but it moved his heart anyway.
However, Lina is no longer an ally, but an enemy.
You cannot open your heart to an enemy that was once an ally.
Caesar’s eyes set deep.
“You’re lonely.”
He thought he had accomplished a lot, but in a world without a boss, there was no one he could trust and follow.
In the beginning, Lina, who was regarded as the boss’s second subordinate and longtime rival, and even Mosaic, a well-spoken pet, betrayed him. Now, trusting a stranger is impossible.
A piece of memory suddenly appeared in Caesar’s head, who was about to become a solitary strong man befitting the word “Demon King”.
“There wasn’t much.”
Caesar ordered someone to be brought in through his subordinates.
Not as strong as Gato, and not as old as Rina.
However, there was a person above him, even for a short time.
“Ah, hello.”
“It’s been a long time. The boss.”
It was Seolhwa, the boss of a macho cafe.
“Shit! I’m no longer the boss! You managed to make money and bought it 10 times more expensive!”
“Is the Macho Cafe, a craft coffee shop, doing well?”
“Thanks to the hiring of Heuksanhoe as employees, it is running smoothly. The customers of the underground are surprisingly strong in a macho aspect, making the coffee they serve even more dangerous.”
At the point of dignifiedly strengthening the coffee, the ordinary coffee shop was far away. However, neither Caesar nor the legend cared the slightest bit about that fact.
“Did you call me because you wanted to drink my coffee after a long time?”
“Well. I want to drink a glass of steam on my mind.”
“Fufu. Knowing this, I put coffee in a thermos bottle made of hell.”
Sulwha opened the thermos and poured coffee.
“Do you know how to absorb gas?”
“I do not know.”
“Now that I have become a Demon King, skin absorption is possible, right?”
“can not do it.”
“Eh… Even the Demon Lord is surprisingly not a big deal.”
A vein sprouted from Caesar’s forehead.
This was the first time since becoming a Demon King.
“Did customers these days become real men who can drink coffee even with gas absorption and skin absorption?”
“yes! This is a special S humus course that lava golem customers especially like! Originally, I had to put it in a fire extinguisher and spray it, but it was heavy to carry, so I put up with a thermos!”
“… … .”
As the guests became crazy things like demons and golems, the story naturally became far from normal. Rather than being angry or embarrassed by this, Caesar said that he was rather fortunate.
“I’m not calling you for coffee.”
“Still, I brought it with a lot of effort, so please drink it first!”
“… … .”
It was as if he had developed this much, so you should try to show the manly power that you have developed so far.
Caesar’s vision turned gray. It is a momentary moment in ＜Cognitive Unit: Planck> that can only be entered in a crisis situation of absolute desperation or when concentration rises to the highest level.
He thought about how to drink this coffee to look more manly than the golem customers who absorb gas or skin. In gray vision, Caesar’s hand slowly turned towards the thermos.
“!”
While Seolhwa’s eyes grew very slowly, Caesar took both the thermos and the thermos cap with both hands. Then, at once, he swallowed the thermos bottle and the thermos cap in both hands.
It was a calculated action based on the calculation that if you chew and swallow a thermos made of hell horse iron, you would look like the strongest man.
However, there was one unexpected problem.
shudder
“… … .”
too tight
Teeth that chewed even diamonds whether it was a superalloyed hellish iron instead of an ordinary hellish iron, screamed in reverse.
Even as soon as the liquid leaking from the thermos touched his tongue, he began to inflict 144 kinds of status abnormalities and 1024 kinds of curses on his body. It would be believable that he had come to poison him.
Caesar’s eyes widened.
Was it even betrayed by Seolhwa, whom I trusted?
In case such a day would come again, he activated the skill to determine the authenticity he had cultivated. However, there was no malice in Seolhwa’s heart, only the voice of an innocent heart was heard.
-If it’s this coffee, Caesar-sama will admit it too!
-I’ll show you the skills you deserve as the owner of the best coffee shop in the labyrinth!
-If you can’t drink and spit, it’s my victory!
It was a heavy expectation.
As a bonus, there was even a desire to win.
‘I’m sure it’ll look good!’
Caesar mobilized his whole body magic.
He seized all 144 kinds of status abnormalities and 1024 kinds of curses that occur in a complex manner through interaction.
He forcibly pulled out and ripped out the vicious energy that would destroy the body’s balance and take his life, condensing it into one, and injecting it into the hellish season.
Due to the ability to change the nature of magic itself, Caesar’s understanding of magic has risen sharply. In addition, resistance to various status abnormalities and curses and breaking laws were automatically established.
At the crossroads of life and death, the act of thinking, confronting, and solving on one’s own led to radical growth.
If you can’t even eat a cup of coffee like a real man, it’s impossible to get revenge on the boss. Such tenacity pierced through the impossible, and with the power of magical power, he evaporated the hellish iron in his mouth.
“!!”
When the eyes of the fairy tales finally showed signs of astonishment, Caesar faced a new challenge.
The vaporized infernal poison compresses and crushes the atmosphere, condensing into a single drop of extreme poison. If you drank the ＜Essence of Hell> that seemed to have gathered all the malice in this world, you would suffer tremendous pain.
However, if it was the boss, even if he drank this ＜Essence of Hell>, he would have said it lightly without even blinking an eye.
– Ming-Ming-Ha. Offer it in Venti (600ml) size.
Of course, Wilhelm Meyer does not create a situation to drink such a poison in the first place. It was an action that would have been taken by the fictional Wilhelm Meyer, created by Caesar’s misunderstanding.
‘It cannot be overcome by force alone.’
Even if you try to demonstrate the strongest martial arts against such extreme poison, you will melt away and die without leaving even a handful of blood. In a way different from the boss, the story presented a new direction for strength.
If the boss offered a way to use force, the legend presented a threat that could not be countered by force.
Such was the divine power and power of the gods. No matter how strong he is, it is meaningless. It was also the reason why Caesar could not jump to the ground and fight Lina for life.
‘Right. Seolhwa knew my intentions from the beginning.’
He read his desire to hone his defense skills and suggested the most appropriate ordeal to hone it. Sulwha showed her limitations with a cup of coffee.
Even if you don’t find the answer, you die. Sulwha proves that his competence as a coffee shop owner exceeds that of the Demon King, and he disappears as the foundation for the story.
Placing this bravery in confronting the authority and power of the demon king head-on with the cowardly betrayal of Lina and Mosaic is an insult to the story.
‘Have you grown up?’
The story has changed remarkably. The progress she has made over the past year has been truly dazzling.
However, Caesar is a strong man in crisis.
If there was an ordeal to overcome in order to move forward rather than despair that could not be resolved, I was confident that I would be willing to face it.
‘If you can’t bear it with your body, you will destroy it!’
Caesar’s whole-body power combined with magical power and divine power to create a local space and resonance.
＜Essence of Hell>, a combination of all kinds of status ailments, curses, and hellish iron, has a terrible weight. However, Caesar’s willpower was excellent enough to support the space itself.
Furthermore, he succeeded in expressing the technique of space distortion, which is a counter-power defense technique that compresses the space containing ＜The Essence of Hell> and distorts the space to destroy it.
“It was a nice drink.”
“Wow! Great! After all, Caesar-sama can’t stand it.”
“I’m actually pretty cool.”
“The drug lord Panan said that this special coffee had a cosmic malice that no living thing could handle, but I thought that Caesar-sama would definitely be able to get rid of it!”
“… … .”
By the time the drug lord Panan made a declaration or added the expression that he spoils coffee, something had already been seriously spoiled. But pointing out trivial things is unmanly behavior.
Caesar was caught up in his own idiot-like logic and conformed to unfair coffee violence.
“So why did you call me?”
“It is nothing.”
I don’t want to drink coffee like this again.
This coffee was too hard for Caesar.
He seriously thought that overcoming the same ordeal was enough.
“When I see you, all my worries have been resolved. You can go back now.”
“I don’t know, but I’m glad it was helpful!”
“bye.”
“Then I’ll come to play again tomorrow!”
“What?”
Caesar was startled.
Seolhwa was very disintegrated and swung her fists.
“Tomorrow, you will be recognized for making great coffee that can defeat even Caesar!”
“I already recognized you.”
“Hey, you can tell just by looking at his face. The coffee was tasteless enough to make me sweat and wrinkle my forehead.”
no this bastard How do you drink something like this to enjoy it?
Caesar struggled to calm his anger.
“It interferes with training.”
“Are you avoiding challenges unmanly?”
“…Bring only small sizes that do not interfere with your practice.”
Even if he died soon, he couldn’t be sure to ask for a Venti size.
Seolhwa smiled brightly and rejoiced.
From that day on, Caesar awakened his defensive skills and began to grow stronger at a tremendous rate. It was the result of a desperate struggle for survival.
