226 – 65-4. The reason why the sword master had to raise the sword.
[Failed to achieve the Grand Route.]
A large status window that can be seen right in front of you.
To say that I failed the Grand Route was a sentence I couldn’t easily believe.
How did you get here? Why the hell
I thought the Grand Route would be completed if only Drake and the Sage were connected.
Even though there are still many couples who haven’t reached 100% of their romance, it was just a matter of gradually filling it up.
[Penalty in case of failure: Magic Hat’s Demonization is applied.]
What are you talking about?
It wasn’t me or Fine who became demon gods, but Magic Hat’s becoming a demon god?
[Player [Lee Soo-hyun]. Good luck in the future.]
“……”
Crazy bastards.
“Call the Imperial Guard. Fine, hurry!!”
“Su, Suhyeon-ah.. What’s wrong? My face is fresh..”
I urgently told Fine to ask for help.
The status bar never lied to me, so maybe this is real too.
My hands are shaking. The warnings on the status window that I had seen so far passed through my mind.
The reason I warned the demon lords every time I caught them wasn’t because of Fine, but because of Magic Hat?
‘I can’t do this. There must still be a way.’
Contradiction.
I thought it was because there would be a contradiction with the future if the demon lord was subdued beforehand.
There must have been other problems than that.
‘Did the failure happen because Heukun died and Drake and the Sage could not succeed?’
Because the target for revenge is gone?
Originally, Drake had to kill Heukun and satisfy his revenge to connect with the Sage.
The demon king died at the time of the sequel .
Probably Drake killed it under the circumstances.
If that’s the case, it’s highly likely that Kainel subjugated the demon lord of power in the first place.
“What is the exact reason, why does the Grand Route fail…?”
But this is heartbreaking. I needed solid information.
[The Grand Route is not possible.]
“…..”
Departure from the route.
If the Grand Route failed, it means that the future was distorted because the conditions were not satisfied.
This was something that could easily be seen in the .
There are many cases where even the slightest action by a player changes the ending, so I was very careful.
[Subdue the magic hat that has become a demon. Soohyun Lee. There is still hope.]
If it was going to be like this, I shouldn’t have told you from the beginning.
I screamed at the status window into the air to get more information, but nothing came out.
‘I should have known from the time when bastards called gods couldn’t catch the demon lords….’
Would it be different if it was a god of light or a god of darkness?
The four gods, abbreviated to ‘Fantasia’, felt like their subcontractors.
“Pine, it sounds crazy, but trust me. It looks like Magic Hat has awakened as a demon.”
“What? Drank? It was definitely my father and the 10-year-old who drank it..”
I grabbed Fine’s shoulders and explained the situation.
Heukun died and Magic Hat, the demon of truth, awakened as a demon.
“It can’t be.. It can’t be.. The demon must have died 20 years ago..”
Then her wolf ears and tail hung down as if she had been caught in the rain, and her body trembled slightly.
Looks like he’s shocked because he remembered being beaten by Magic Hat when he was young.
“That’s why I thought it was a prophecy that the demon kings of the cult of warriors resurrected…”
“Pine, it seems that wasn’t the case.”
As I held Fine’s hand, he began to breathe deeply.
According to her words, it was Emperor Locke who cut off her dying demon’s breath.
“Maybe the purpose was for the magic hat to turn into a demon.”
“Impossible. It wasn’t a person…”
A monster with a grotesque shape.
A bizarre sight that guarded the warriors who were chosen to subdue the demons after they fell into demon lords.
As I listened to the story, I picked up a book.
A book with the words Written on it.
The background of the incident known as the war fought by the Ten Girls and the demon kings of the cult of warriors was written.
Like her story at the beginning, it was a book that tells the story of four warriors chosen to subdue demons who fell into demon lords.
After that, the ten girls became hostile to the demon lords, so it was named that way.
‘Even in the game, the hero and the devil were not the same.’
The setting that was in the original That I liked.
It gained sensational popularity with an interesting setting in which the hero and the demon king are not one and the same.
“What if there was not just one demon like the hero?”
“A demon… Like a warrior?”
From Noble mtl dot com
Remembering that, I told Fine. Drinking will be the same.
“What if, like the hero, if the conditions were met, anyone could become…?”
Why didn’t I know this simple fact? From the beginning, the contents of the penalty were not given.
The Fine I saw in my dream could also be a drinker.
Thinking of how Tardune and Akasha’s messenger were frightened when they saw Fine.
The power to affect other worlds.
Because it was written in the book that it was a demon.
‘I should have noticed earlier.’
He sighed as he chewed his lower lip.
What if I hadn’t thought of everything alone from the start, like Ki-seok’s advice?
“Pine, you probably need to stop Magic Hat by all means possible.”
At least she wouldn’t be a liar to her.
I continued to roll my head. Can we stop Magic Hat with our current power?
Fine has awakened as a warrior of affection, and the same goes for Kynel and Ariel.
Dennis will help me, and Laplace will tell you everything.
The situation was similar to when the magic hat was broken in the game.
But what is this vague anxiety? Anxiety, like waves rolling in.
‘It’s a magic hat that became a demon..’
First of all, it’s an opponent I’ve never fought before.
In , Most of the demon lords died, but Magic Hat never became a demon.
The explanation in the book that it was a higher level being above the demon king was creepy.
I saw information that I couldn’t find even in the Library of Truth, and I looked up the author of the book in case I didn’t know, and it was a familiar name.
‘Fantasia.’
Even here, the gods seem to hide their names.
As they said, if we defeat the current magic hat, it will be possible to return to the grand route.
Can I defeat Magic Hat?
Now I am not the Black Knight, Richt.
I can’t use the skills I used before because I can’t climb the magic swordsman tree.
I don’t know if the patterns or strategy I’ve memorized before will be useless, and like in the game, there could be a forced event where everyone dies.
‘..Among them, the nameless saintess was a person who could not even be listed on the death list.’
The reason I struggled to save Fine.
The settings and events seen in the game are highly likely to be applied here as well.
There is a high probability that Kynel or Ariel will not run away from battle, but from now on, if I make a mistake, her life is in danger.
“..He will invade Grand Hearts Academia.”
Magic Hat will attack the academy straight away.
The place where the battle took place in her follow-up Was also the old site of the academy.
It was also the reason I knew where Chartines was kidnapped before.
The warrior in the prophecy.
Is it a problem that Fine, who has the modifier ‘dear’, became a demon before Fine could develop her abilities?
Actually, this might have meant the failure of the Grand Route.
A hero in the prophecy who grows stronger the more people he loves.
It made sense if Drake and the sage’s love hadn’t been connected yet, so her abilities weren’t fully developed.
“Then, should I only contact people inside the academy?”
“Because Heavenly Demon-nim needs to rest.. Rather than that….”
Fine, who is using telephony magic to contact people, asked me.
Currently, the Heavenly Demon is not alone. It was better not to do anything that could be dangerous.
“I think it would be a good idea to contact Professor Dennis and invite Sophitia and Ki Seok.”
Instead, I decided to call a pillar westerner who had played the same game.
He also has experience facing Magic Hat, and she has tried to attack it.
Originally, the battle against Magic Hat was a raid that could only be done between players and NPCs.
It was a battle that marked the end of the sequel , So I couldn’t share it with other players.
‘..Because this isn’t a game, it’s reality.’
It should be possible to call someone else. There’s no way there’s no entry restrictions like in games.
Wait, then, wouldn’t it be possible for ‘him’ too?
“Fine, can you tell your father-in-law the news?”
“..What? Suhyeon, are you okay?”
The wolf king who bites the sun and devours the moon.
The emperor of the empire who unified the country that had been divided into four.
Though he was someone who couldn’t be recruited as an ally in the game.
“If you say that Magic Hat, the demon of truth, is targeting you, Fine, he will come running right away.”
This is not the Emperor Locke who won’t fall for this provocation.
***
A little while ago, the glass sword on Fine’s back was shaking slightly.
‘Really.. Magic Hat.. Has become a demon..’
A holy sword resonating as if it were reacting to the birth of a demon.
Kinel has also been saying that the Holy Sword of Light is shaking.
She continued to tell me that Magic Hat had become a Demon God through transmission magic.
[Wait a little bit. My daughter.]
[Okay. Miss Grancia. If it’s what Licht student is saying, it must be correct.]
Emperor Locke cried out with a very loud voice and said he was coming running right away.
Laplace strengthened the defense around the academy.
[Richt-kun…? Got it. I’ll let Magnolia rest at home, but I’ll evacuate the students first and go soon.]
[If the disciple calls, the teacher must always go!]
Drake and the wise man said that they would join Lee Soo-hyun’s party immediately,
Dennis even teleported all the students in the academy to a safe place.
“Mr. Pugu!! We are here!”
“Licht.. What the hell do you mean? Magic Hat became a demon..?”
Kinel and Ariel soon arrived at the academy’s library.
A couple of warriors came running, sweating profusely and out of breath.
All of these things were thanks to the trust Lee Soo-hyun built while subduing the demon king.
A black knight who knew the future and helped others in love.
If he had tried to keep love to himself, this wouldn’t have happened.
‘Then… Were the kids I met last time real?’
What the black knight from the unfortunate future said was not a lie.
Suddenly, Fine thought of a dark-haired girl he had met before.
A little boy who looked at Lee Soo-hyun and said he was his father.
‘I wasn’t lying. Rather, the boy I met at the fountain called my brother lied….’
Even the names Rin and Iperit are lies.
Fine Grancia had good eyes that could see through lies.
‘If you think about the scent of roses that emanates from your body.. Maybe..’
Lee Soo-hyeon and Fine Grancia’s child.
If the children came from the future like that, then all the weird situations I saw that day made sense.
“Princess Grancia, at the request of the princess, the bodyguards have gathered.”
While Fine was deep in thought, the Imperial Guard appeared around her before she knew it.
Knights with wolf ears wearing different colored armor.
“Where is the silver? Gold..?”
“I will. I can’t see a single person.”
Looking at it, Fine and Lee Soo-hyun felt strange. A bodyguard named after the metals used in the empire.
“…Silver?”
Among them, Gold, the head of the Imperial Guard, was unaware of the disappearance of the Silver Knight, which symbolizes silver coins.
