212 – 61-3. Demonization.
***
Falling ashes.
Ice and snow melted by the heat.
A town burning with people screaming.
‘Is this the end?’
Kwon Ki-seok smiled dejectedly as he looked at his mangled body.
The pain felt as if his whole body was being ripped open by a knife.
At first, I thought everything was going well.
After being possessed by a game along with a friend, I actually saw his favorite game character.
Her first impression with Sophitia Colt Hart was not good, but she was able to get along with her to some extent.
Because he knew that his food was poisoned, but he proved that he was not an enemy by eating it.
“Fly, Flints. Are you okay..? Bleeding profusely! Hurry up and get treatment….”
“It’s okay.”
He managed to control his expression while looking at the black-haired girl behind him.
The Grand Duchess, nicknamed Iron Blood, has her tears welling up because of him. I didn’t like to see that.
I felt like I would be compared to the black knight somewhere.
Originally, I thought that everything would be over if I just prevented the northern air raids from happening in history and treated Sophitia’s heart disease.
If that happened, I could have prevented an unfortunate future.
However, it seems that the world is not easy.
Because of a white-haired magician who suddenly appeared, the northern capital, Caprostia, was on fire.
‘..It was strange to be possessed by a game character in the first place.’
It was during the battle with the Demon King that Kwon Ki-seok noticed that this world was not a game but a reality.
What kind of game in the world made you realize the pain?
And it was strange that even NPCs had emotions.
5 Years ago from the original ,
If you count from , The future after that, the world 10 years ago.
The demon lord you fought a while ago is definitely Magic Hat, the final boss of , Judging from the way he uses his cards and his outfit.
Why did he take the form of a woman here?
That also turned into a magician with a ponytail and wolf ears.
‘..Could it be that the Demon King is also a real human.’
Obviously I knew him as a man.
The same with the voice that came out, the same with the appearance.
Because he was black enough to come out as a typical demon lord in the sequel.
‘You fetish son of a saint. What the hell did you do…?’
By the way, didn’t the magic hat I just saw take the form of a woman similar to her nameless saint?
Obviously, someone possessed the work first.
In the first place, Licht handled the monster’s air attack when he was not confident, and the achievement of the black knight who subdued the demon lord spread all the way to the north.
After Suhyeon Lee’s strategy was uploaded to the community instead and he was possessed.
Kwon Ki-seok spent time trying to figure out where this place was, but he planned it thoroughly.
‘I was careless.’
Just because he knows the future doesn’t mean he can do everything himself.
All I can do for the demon lord of truth is mere struggle.
“If you call the escort, you will be able to live. Wait a little bit…”
“Okay, you’ve already been under the authority, so soon I won’t even recognize you.”
All I can do is protect Sophitia behind my back.
As expected, without the holy sword, I couldn’t respond to the demon lord.
Around the time he gathered all the ingredients to cure her heart disease, made them, and delivered them to her, the Demon King invaded the northern part of her.
That wouldn’t have been possible in the original history.
The climate in the north is harsh and barren, so they overconfident that the Demon King will not invade.
“By the way, who the hell are you? Are you doing this for me?”
A grand princess with black black hair and bear ears.
The girl’s eyes and hands tremble, which were as cold as ice.
What should I say?
Looking at Sophitia, who had already stabbed her ribs deeply and covered his bleeding wound with her palm.
Kwon Ki-seok, who borrowed Plinz’s body, let out a long sigh.
Plinz.
A vampire character with white hair and red eyes.
Unlike Licht, who had skill correction on the knight side, Flintz specialized in magic circuits.
Magic circuits are human blood vessels.
Therefore, he was a special character who could use all kinds of magic using blood.
Kwon Ki-seok used this to get a hidden class called Magician.
‘…Why did I choose that nickname?’
The result of playing the game while using the nickname ‘Northern Princess’ Husband’.
Only one person was saved. She was the only one, Grand Duchess Sophitia.
What would it have been like if it hadn’t been possessed in the first place, but the original body?
Looks like he’s also active here under the name Richt.
“……”
Drops of blood fall to the floor.
Consciousness blurred, and the muscles of her whole body gave out and she sat down.
‘…I’ve protected the person I liked, so it doesn’t matter.’
Even if you borrow someone else’s body, that doesn’t mean your heart is a lie.
In the fading memory, Kwon Ki-seok had something flashing in his mind.
“Your husband from the future?”
“..What crazy things are you talking about? In this situation!”
Although I could have forgotten the Sophitia I saw in front of me soon.
He tried to smile as if he was okay, as if nothing was wrong.
“…Why, it could really be right.”
The taste of blood felt in the mouth was fishy.
I wonder what the attack was, even the vampire character couldn’t stop the bleeding.
“Because he is a calculating person, I thought he would throw me away. Grand Duchess.”
“Dichotomize people…. It’s not good to see. Flints. “
Sophitia tries to save a man covered in blood while wrapping her arms around her shoulders.
She pondered how she would know in advance about the heart disease that came from her family.
The demon king approached while he was alone in the palace.
How did you know that, the man who risked her life to save her was Flints.
“Shouldn’t I also repay you for the elixir you saved?”
Then heart disease is not a lie.
The Grand Duchess’s heart was opening to the spearman with her white hair and red eyes.
“..Is that so?”
“Maybe my own holy power is not enough. If you go to the escort, you will definitely be healed….”
No, we may have already resembled each other since we first met.
The two of them manage to lead their bodies that become as heavy as stones to the place where the escort is located.
‘…… I originally heard these words from Grand Duchess Sophitia.’
Kwon Ki-seok revived her past memories in the blurry vision.
I tried my best to leave clues to subdue the demon king with my last strength.
***
People who escaped from the flames were devastated.
Mekehan smoke covers my eyes.
“Come this way!! It will collapse soon!”
“There are people in this building!!”
The chill that seemed to freeze from the tips of the toes went somewhere, and only scorching heat lingered in the north.
A terrifying sight mixed with screams and ashes. This is why I hate what I write.
“..Damn it, I’m one step too late.”
We arrived in the northern part of the temple of Pantos with Dennis’ 3D magic circle.
“My God..”
I sighed in despair as I looked at the already chaotic northern landscape.
The fact that this kind of thing is not known to the outside world must be because the demon king committed it.
The demon king’s authority opposite to the hero’s name.
However, Head must have been dead, so how could he have been pushed back in the information war?
If it hadn’t been for the status window, he would have remained ignorant.
“What is this… What the hell is going on? Richt.”
“The situation is so serious. The news didn’t reach the empire…?”
Fine covered her mouth and looked around him.
Fire everywhere, buildings collapsed.
She habitually put her hand on her chin.
I thought there would be no more major incidents here since the monster raid was over.
‘Is there a gap because it’s not a game, but reality?’
I realized the reason why the information I knew from the last time and the reason it continued to not match.
The reason why the powerless demon king is a twin and the truth demon king is a woman is probably for this reason.
Moreover, the empire and the north look like rivals, but in fact they are cooperative.
Looking at the fact that Fine and Sophitia have been friends since childhood.
If something this big had happened, there was no way I would have known about it.
“It must be the work of the demon king. Professor Dennis.”
“I know even if you don’t say anything.”
Originally, a place like the last bastion that the demon king can’t approach. Neither I nor Dennis tried to extinguish the flames by making it rain.
“Licht. I’ll go first.”
“..Take care of yourself. Suhyun.”
Fine and Cainel are evacuating the nearby residents first, fearing that someone might not be a hero.
Ariel sees a fire breaking out in the mountains far away and tries to extinguish it by setting fire to it.
I don’t know when I grew up like this.
Now, I have become a good colleague and friend that I can truly rely on.
“Obsession, affection.”
I put my hand to my chest and drew out the black sword.
An alter ego that appears immediately. Now, unlike the main body, it is wearing a black knight helmet.
A helmet of ideology given to me by a nameless saint.
All the alter egos were impressive with black helmets the same color as the night sky.
Now I don’t have to worry about anything like this.
It seemed to mean that she didn’t have to wear a helmet like this to protect her.
That was around the time when we were rescuing people while putting our efforts into saving lives.
A long black coat and cape worn from head to toe.
In contrast to him, a woman with cute little bear ears is impressive.
“Pine..!! It’s you!!”
Princess Sophitia appeared from afar leading an escort.
***
The windows are all broken as if the devil proves the air raid.
After sorting out the situation in the north with the escorts with bear ears, we moved to the half-destroyed palace.
“Sophie, what happened to the North?”
“The magic hat broke in. Blood.”
Suddenly, Fine’s footsteps stopped.
Perhaps it reminds me of the trauma when Empress Belin almost died.
“You, are you okay..? Sophie…?”
“Yes, I saved my life, but….”
The Grand Duchess of the North guided us to a visit somewhere, and then she made the escorts who were guarding the surroundings withdraw.
A door that looks luxurious as if a noble person is enshrined there.
“However, I couldn’t protect this person.”
Sophitia said that a man risked his life to save her from Magic Hat’s air raid.
“Licht. I want to bring this person back to normal. Is there any way?”
“…..”
When I opened the door, I saw a man with white hair.
Healers around him are sweating profusely while healing, but the man with a pale face looks like someone who is sick somewhere.
‘Anyone can see that he’s a pillar westerner.’
Even though the name Plinz was unfamiliar, it was Kwon Ki-seok that I had seen in games.
“…I will ask you this. A warrior of conviction.”
Sophitia has sad eyes while looking at a man whose pupils are out of focus.
The high-nosed princess was bowing her head at me.
How close did they become?
Kwon Ki-seok seems to be trying to say something to me as he barely stretches out his arm, perhaps unable to speak.
Something happened to Magic Hat.
When I saw something at the end of his gaze and gestures like playing chess, something flashed into my mind.
What if this guy had a problem with Magic Hat?
It must have blocked him from being able to speak, so he should try to find a clue by playing chess, which he is good at.
“…… Chessboard, if there is one around here, please bring it.”
Strategists and activists.
Because that was the difference between me and that guy.
