vast library.
I got chills as soon as I entered.
The library was so huge that you couldn’t see the end, but you couldn’t see a single book.
This building was built only for the storage of the Heavenly Demon Art. It was like a fortress built across the vast territory of the Cheonsan Mountain to protect a single book.
Numerous curses to prevent unauthorized entry. It manifested as chills and blocked Arel’s path.
illusion. hallucination. Hallucinations. A way to make you lose your way and wander forever. The deeper you go in, the more you can’t get out.
But Arel did not stop. Reinhardt was nearby. I closed my eyes and ran towards only that feeling.
How far did you run?
“…!”
Arell opened his eyes.
At the same time, she couldn’t help but be rigid.
I saw Reinhardt shedding bloody tears. Numerous ‘hands’ embroidered around him were also visible.
Those cursed hands that he had seen while dealing with Malfiel earlier decorated Reinhardt’s back like wings.
It is a curse that kills everything the moment it touches it. Even quite a few dragons have to run away in fright, and if they are weaker than that, they wither and die in an instant.
I could understand in an instant why Delbaran couldn’t touch it. That I couldn’t bear to touch it meant that even the proud Delbaran hated that curse.
“…!”
Arel jumped in without hesitation.
Upon entering the territory, the skin rots away.
I can feel my breath suffocating and my heart stop.
Even in the midst of his confusion, Arel reached out and hugged Reinhardt tightly.
Why did he act like that, Arel didn’t know. It was just close to instinct. The thought of wanting to comfort the grieved Reinhardt naturally gave her hand.
Allel was momentarily taken aback. Arel has never felt this kind of emotion. Caring for someone existed in the past, but it was the first time in my life that I felt the desire to hug and caress with all my might.
Because she was a Valkyria. Because it was a weapon that shouldn’t have emotions. It had to be.
Whoops!
No words were needed. No, I didn’t know what to say. Should I tell you not to be sad? Do I have to wipe my tears so that I don’t cry anymore?
But what Reinhardt needed right now was ‘warmth’. A bond that flows from another person.
He lacked bonding. Dealing with people was clumsy and clumsy. But his feelings and sincerity have always been consistent. I just can’t express it.
Knowing that, Arel simply hugged Reinhardt tightly. Even if the curse hurt him, even if it killed him, there was nothing Arel could do other than confront this emotion.
Now he was crying. It was like a crying child. It was a lamb lost and lost something important. He pretended to be strong on the outside, but he was weaker than anyone else on the inside.
“Cool!”
Reinhardt vomited red blood.
Soon after, the cloudy eyes returned to normal and the wings also shrank.
Before long, Reinhardt and Arell’s eyes met.
“······ Get away a bit. sick.”
“ah······.”
Arel, who had regained consciousness, hurried away from Reinhardt in a panic.
‘What am I doing?’
It happened while I was running without covering my face. To be honest, I still don’t understand how the post-war happened.
However, one thing is clear.
······ I think I hugged her too tightly.
“I think I broke a rib.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Did you mean to kill me?”
Allel shook her head hastily.
Were you thinking of killing me?
“Wow, never thought that way…”
“It’s a joke.”
“ah······.”
“I’m not kidding about broken ribs.”
“sorry······.”
Arel, depressed, lowered his head.
Then Reinhardt raised his hand and coughed.
“Cool! I can’t go out on foot. How do you do this?”
“I-I will carry it.”
Arel inwardly knocked her head several times. What did you do, no matter how mindless you were?
Arel, who hurriedly carried Reinhardt on his back, took heavy steps.
However, it was strange.
I remember climbing a mountain with Reinhardt on my back before…
pounding! pounding!
Is it because you’re upset?
I felt as if my heart rate was exceptionally faster than before.
*
Gaf sacrificed himself to complete the Heavenly Demon Art, but the problem was original sin.
As soon as the gatekeeper was gone, original sin came into being.
-A disgusting bastard. It’s finally gone!
The original sin trying to open the door and my tug of war to stop him began.
But I couldn’t wake up to the emptiness that Garp had disappeared from within me. Should I say it feels like half of it has fallen off?
In the end, I gave half the initiative to him. Upon seeing this, Delbaran of pride mistook the half-protruding original sin for the aftermath of the ‘Heavenly Demon Sacred Art’ and escaped in disgust.
– He’s really stupid. I would give up myself for this guy.
Original sin laughed at Garp. When he dies, original sin gets a chance. Even knowing that fact, Garp dared to sacrifice himself.
I can only describe it in terms of how stupid it is.
―Your body and the Heavenly Demon’s martial arts are all mine. This time, I’ll become a true Demon God!
The first deadly sin, the original sin.
Even in his eyes, the Heavenly Demon Artisan was a great treasure.
It was to the point where I wondered why the guy who created such martial arts hadn’t beaten the fake gods outside.
However, if you have this body with infinite potential and even the martial arts of the Heavenly Demon, an unprecedented demon will be born.
. . . was to be born.
The original sin, which had dug into the void caused by his sadness and usurped the initiative, had no choice but to hesitate again. It’s because he instantly eliminated the void and started tightening the original sin.
– What is this?
I couldn’t understand.
Emotions are filled and they are shining more intensely than before.
But how can human ’emotions’ put pressure on original sin?
something beyond emotion.
This······.
-enlightenment!
I have attained enlightenment and am awakening.
It jumped over the wall once.
I have now broken the limits I set for myself.
-Ahh······!
Original sin screamed. It couldn’t be like this. How did you get the chance How could they fill the ‘blank’ in such a short amount of time?
Original Sin, as its name suggests, is a monster that burrows into emotions. A monster that reacts more strongly to unstable emotions and steals its body in an instant.
But I can’t take it away
It’s locked up again.
‘If you lose, be quietly crushed.’
After locking him up, I told him.
Original sin has already been defeated and fallen. I couldn’t give myself up to a guy like that.
Now I was going to deal with him myself.
I’ll have to keep him on a leash and treat him like an animal so he won’t do anything like this again.
“ah······.”
Right after I came back to my senses, I laughed at Arel, who had a confused look on his face.
If it wasn’t for Arell, I would have really been taken away.
‘I wonder if Gaf saw through even this.’
He must have known that original sin would run rampant if he let go of his hand.
But he would have known that Arell would come running.
Because he even knew that I had returned.
‘I am not alone.’
In the past, no one mourned my death.
If I died, there were only a lot of people who would be happy.
But not anymore. I have no intention of walking the same road as before.
Garp would have hoped for that too.
I would have sacrificed myself hoping that I would walk a different path from him.
Besides, seeing Arell’s bewildered eyes made me want to play a joke.
“I think I broke a rib.”
“Did you mean to kill me?”
“Wow, never thought that way…”
there must have been no
I know.
‘I don’t think I’m crazy either.’
I know, but I still wanted to play a joke.
It was also true that the ribs were broken.
“It’s a joke.”
“ah······.”
It’s a joke, so I’m relieved.
Of course, it couldn’t go on like this.
“I’m not kidding about broken ribs.”
“sorry······.”
Arel’s face turned red again.
Was he originally such a moody guy?
It’s more fun than you think.
“Cool! I can’t go out on foot. How do you do this?”
“I-I will carry it.”
As soon as he coughed up blood, Arell’s face turned white.
No, it would have to be said that he became pale. Because the dark elf Arell’s face can’t turn white.
Seeing her restless on Arel’s back, a smile formed on her lips.
what did he say about this?
‘cute?’
Come to think of it, it was the first time I felt that someone was cute.
It’s a feeling that I felt at first glance with dogs and cats. Is it different from that?
Anyway, it’s a feeling that can’t be easily explained.
Because my younger siblings have never felt this way before.
Rauneldo, Kazando, Carmondo, Riondo.
I think it would be a bigger deal if I got it somehow.
‘by the way.’
He took a deep breath.
refreshing This refreshing feeling is also the first.
I got a spare.
A mental composure that is different from before.
Garp’s sacrifice is sad, but I couldn’t just be sad.
‘When I go to the north again, I will hold a ceremony for him and his mother.’
However, according to the northern rites, we will hold a ceremony to honor the dead.
To do that, you have to survive here.
It was only possible to put an end to it and get out of the Pandemonium.
Competing with other Heavenly Mountain Demon Lords is never easy…
It’s not impossible either.
especially now.
‘We should avoid relying on the power of original sin.’
I put a leash on the original sin.
If you wish, you can draw on the power of original sin even more than before.
However, this is far from the right answer if you want to defeat the Demon Lords, including Pride.
In particular, the moment I drew on the power of original sin, my potential would be possible only to the level of original sin.
If you forcibly take away his power, you will be strong right now, but you will eventually be defeated.
It means that you can’t catch the main characters like Alpha and Beta by the collar. Original sin had been defeated long ago, but now the number of gods was twelve.
‘Original sin must be completely surrendered. To do so, I need the Heavenly Demon Art.’
I wouldn’t know if it was after I surrendered.
To do so, it was necessary to fully master the Heavenly Demon Art.
After that, if he bows down, he will be able to threaten the 4 deadly sins and even the gods.
But, there was something more important than that.
‘… succession of the Heavenly Demon.’
Neither original sin nor Delbaran noticed.
That is the fact that I inherited the name of the Heavenly Demon.
Asmodians can leave their names as runes.
Runes are aggregates of energy that are more powerful than magic stones.
It is said that there is nothing that dares to compare its pure and unmatched power.
Didn’t I even wake up the balrog with that rune, the name that fifty demons inherited from me?
Runes are what can grant life to a being like a dragon.
if so
‘It’s the rune of the Heavenly Demon.’
The Heavenly Demon, said to be the most powerful in the Demon Realm.
That Heavenly Demon inherited the name from me.
Of course, that rune also means that I inherited it.
