206 – Lucifer Leading Evil – 1
“There is nothing.”
“It is indeed so.”
There was nothing inside the castle. Originally, in order to protect the king, he would have had to fight through the demons who attacked more ferociously than usual.
Since the surroundings were empty, unlike me, who was walking with only the nightmare of losing wings in her hand, Caicilia was walking while smashing the demon statues decorated on both sides of the hallway.
The statues of demons elaborately carved with unknown materials collapsed. Piles of debris and dust that were once statues piled up behind the road we had passed.
‘…… There is no statue of him.’
Just in case, I took a look at her statues before Kai Kilia destroyed them, but none of the statues represented the World Eater like she found inside the gladiator devil’s castle.
So it was longer.
If statues of him were erected here and there, you’d think the demons would worship him instead of Lucifer, but I’ve only found one in the basement of the castle so far.
“What a disgusting place.”
Snap, Caicilia’s leather boots stepped on a path made of dark red blood. It was a road that had been going all the way from right in front of the gate.
A path of blood stretched across the hallway, as if pointing us in a direction. No matter how long it lasted, there was no sign of an end even though I had walked in quite a bit.
No, the route to the final boss in my memory was the same, so it would be correct to point out the direction. It’s because I don’t know why you’re doing this.
“Delta. Was there anything like this in your knowledge?”
“…… No, Your Majesty.”
“I expected that. If this was the figure that existed in your knowledge, wouldn’t it have made such a disturbed expression? There is only one thing you have to answer to her. Whether this is the right way or not.”
“Yes. There is no doubt that if you follow this, you will find its dwelling place.”
“It has been done. If this is the right path, that’s enough. Didn’t you say you have something to ask? If you meet them earlier, you can kill them earlier, which is only a good thing.”
The road made of blood continued for a long time. After repeating going up and down the stairs and turning around the corner several times, I was able to find the door leading to the inside of the castle.
And the bloodstains also ended right in front of the door leading to the inside of the castle. I don’t know why he left a bloodstain, but his intention was clear.
“Did you say that there is still a long way to go?”
“Because we are out of the outer castle now. There is a separate inner castle where the king of demons resides.”
“You built a building that doesn’t even fit the fountain, pretending to be a king. It is disgusting.”
“The tolerance is not as great as here, so you should be able to arrive soon.”
After passing through the garden-like space beyond the door, you can enter the inner sanctuary where the DLC final boss is located.
Once he received a definite answer, Caicilia had no hesitation. She smashed the door in half with a sword that emitted a bright light.
As soon as she entered through the broken door, the fishy smell of blood stung her nose. Unknowingly, the smell of blood was strong enough to make her eyebrows furrow. The light leaking from her holy sword became even stronger.
“This is…….”
I heard Caicilia’s questioning murmur.
The place, which should have been an open space for the mid-boss fight, was filled with the corpses of dead demons all around, leaving only a path that one person could barely walk on.
Without exaggeration, the corpses of demons were piled up as high as the walls of the castle.
‘…… How did this happen again?’
The devil who should protect their king is dead, his corpse piled up like a mountain in the clearing for the mid-boss fight, and his blood flowed as a path leading the two of us.
I didn’t understand at all.
While I was desperately trying to understand the situation, Cai Killia approached one of the mountains of her corpse with a nonchalant expression and stabbed it with her holy sword.
The demon corpse near the Holy Sword began to burn as it was purified with divine light. The mountain of corpses staggered for a while, but because of its overwhelming mass, it was not difficult to find its place again.
“Their corpses are certain. It doesn’t seem like nothing or fantasy.”
“I understand that, but I don’t know why they did this.”
Even if the difference in strength is so strong that even if you gather all the demons in the castle, you will be weaker than one of the final bosses, using it as a meat shield would be far more beneficial than this senseless massacre.
It should be able to drain our stamina, and if we’re good at it, we’ll be able to do some damage as well.
“What would you guess by guessing the thoughts of things no different from beasts? Stop caring We just have to do what we have to do.”
Kai Kilia stepped her foot on her dirt without hesitation.
The leather boots, which weighed a person’s weight, dug into the ground as if they had stepped on mud. It was because the blood had turned the sand into mud.
After confirming that half of the bottom of her boot was locked, Kai Kilia nervously withdrew her foot. Perhaps the effect of her holy sword, her leather boots were still intact.
“However, it will hinder movement at this rate.”
After her words, Kai Kilia’s right hand was raised above her head. The sunlight gathered at the tip of her sword. As her master swung her arm down, the sunlight gathered in her holy sword split the garden.
In the place where the light broke through, a huge and sharp curtain soared up. It was like a curtain descending from the sky to the ground.
The golden curtain of light stood still for a moment, then slowly widened left and right. All blood and flesh in the place where the veil passed was purified and burned away.
Leather boots stepped onto the dust that dried up in an instant. This time it did not sink to the ground. Caiquelia glanced behind her and she winked as if to follow her.
She calmly followed. Even at the moment we set foot in this place, the curtain of light was constantly purifying the corpses and expanding towards the edge.
Soon after, the mountain of corpses completely disappeared without leaving even a handful of traces. The smell of blood stung her nose as well.
As the corpses disappeared, the entrance to the inner sanctuary was revealed, which had been hidden in blood and flesh. The door was already wide open. He pointed his finger at it.
“There it is.”
“Finally, I’ll see that ugly face. It went really well.”
The inside was quite clean. The outside was bloody and full of corpses, but nothing was to be found here. Even what should have existed.
In my memory, the entrance to the Lucifer Boss Room was a place lined with statues of all sorts of demons on both sides. But now I couldn’t see anything.
A few pillars supporting the ceiling. That was all I could see.
ㅡ Knockout Geek!
As soon as we took a few more steps inside, the door slammed shut.
Kai Kilia didn’t pay the slightest attention to that fact and just walked away from her. Her eyes had long since been fixed on the Demon King. The holy sword in her hand burned more intensely than ever.
ㅡ I will welcome you. Human.
A loud voice resounded throughout the inner sanctuary.
The devil, who was nicknamed ‘Lucifer who guides evil’, was rather petite, so I’m likely to be about the same height as myself.
Her whole body was covered with strange red tree roots, so she could only see her right eye. Except for her right eye, every part of her body was covered with red tree roots.
“How dare you act so arrogant in front of the emperor. I don’t know where he learned this habit, but he will pay for it with her life.”
Kai Killia aimed her holy sword. Even though the holy sword, which was nothing short of poisonous, was aimed at the demon race, he did not waver at all.
ㅡHe who is protected by a false god. He was waiting for you
To be precise, he had no interest in the Holy Sword.
Lucifer, who had neatly ignored Cecilia, looked at me with only one eye.
Cai Killia, who was ignored by the demon in front of her eyes, tried to swing her holy sword with her eyes closed, but when I stopped her with her hand, she stopped moving.
Even though it was an act that was unparalleled rude considering the position of each other, Kai Killia obediently followed my words and lowered the point of her sword. But her eyes were still full of anger.
“…… Protected by a false god? What does that mean? What else was waiting for me?”
It didn’t look like he was going to attack me right now, so I was going to try to have a conversation as much as possible. Because that was something I just couldn’t get past.
ㅡ literally meaning.
The guy got up from his seat as if he had finished what he had to say. With that alone, the nearby space began to slowly change. It was something I had seen in cutscenes.
I thought the conversation would work, but I’m just going to say what I have to say. There was no time. I quickly whispered to Caicilia.
“Your Majesty, this is the situation I was talking about.”
“I know. If that thing takes Yeo, we’ll fight together, and if it doesn’t, didn’t we have to fight with only one of you or Yeo?”
“Yes. Seeing that look…… It is likely that I will be dragged away.”
The distortion of the space gradually increased. Now it was on the verge of devouring both of us, only me to be exact. The surroundings of Caicilia were intact, not distorted in the slightest.
“It is really unfortunate. I’ve been waiting for the day I’ll tear that thing of mine apart.”
Caecilia had a look of genuine regret.
I wondered if I should have let it attack when I just pulled out the holy sword, but at that time I had no idea that he would just finish his words and attack me, so it was a choice I had no choice but to make.
“I will pay even your share. If you want, I’ll even tell you everything he said when he died.”
Cai Killia, realizing what she meant, smiled.
“Are you already thinking about what happened after winning? Truly, he could not be a cheeky servant. Go away.”
As soon as her words were barely finished, a red light engulfed me. Before I knew it, I was transported to a place that looked even more terrifying than the outside, a place that fit perfectly.
A place where a bubbling river of blood flows nearby and two round objects red like blood float in the sky. For some reason, the air felt hot.
As expected, there was no Caicilia. She was just in case, but it was.
ㅡI showed sincerity to you.
I aimed at the nightmare that had lost its wings in the direction the voice came from. Divine light flowed from the blade, which was half gold and half silver.
Lucifer was moving her steps slowly, looking at me with one bare eye.
“Your last name?”
—-The road to me has been cleaned.
“…… Was it really your work?”
—-That is my sincerity.
I couldn’t understand the language. I sighed inwardly.
In the game, the player attacks as soon as the player is transferred to this space, but as if he had no intention of doing so, he spread his arms wide to the sides and spread them out like he was preaching something.
So I thought he was trying to have a conversation, but he was just talking one-sidedly about what he had to say. He was a guy with no answers.
ㅡI showed my sincerity, so it’s your turn to show your faith.
His eyes widened.
ㅡ False history. False belief. False god. None of them are true I opened my eyes. You, too, now serve the true God.
“… ….”

Floretta was praying quietly inside the Cathedral of the Sun. She prayed for the safety of the guest, and hoped that God would forgive Floretta for failing to protect the guest.
The prayer continued endlessly. I didn’t drink a sip of water, and I didn’t sleep once. He also told the Heretic Judge not to approach the Cathedral of the Sun for the time being.
Because if I didn’t do this at least, I wouldn’t be able to contain my sadness.
“His Holiness the Pope of the Sun. Will you be all right for a while?”
The heretic judge’s voice penetrated Floretta’s ears. It was a voice that shouldn’t be here.
“Haven’t I ordered no one to enter the Cathedral of the Sun for the time being, Inquisitor?”
“I know. However, I think the Pope should know this.”
“…… What are you?”
The blue green eyes slightly opened. It was because it was clear that if the Heretic Judge was to say that, it must be a very important matter.
“She showed up a woman claiming to have been a paladin 400 years ago, and she says she knows how to get to the VIP.”
