129 – Chapter 129 Nightmare. (15)
The swung holy sword emitted light.
Succubus. There was no hesitation with the hero’s sword when it came to cutting down demons that manipulated dreams and consumed people’s spirits.
Is this the result of forcibly living a dream, relying on chance to give a life that should have ended long ago?
She slowly closed her eyes.
Then, it was regret and lamentation that came to her, but on the other hand, she felt a little relieved.
If you have the last remaining lingering attachment, if you cannot achieve the well-being of your own people or your own dreams, at least you won’t be able to see him and your child again.

Did he even read her thoughts?
-Do you want to live?
She heard a proposal that was sweet and fishy, more like a devil than herself.
There is no time for hesitation.
In front of the light that was trying to purify itself right away, I inadvertently nodded my head in the instinct of wanting to survive.
-I like the quick response.
The moment I heard his voice, as if I liked it, the sphere of authority behind me cracked.
The moment the holy sword that was reaching towards him stopped and everyone’s eyes focused on the sphere, he appeared in the slowly breaking sphere.
A unique appearance that looks as if it came out of an egg.
The aura he radiated seemed to tell me that he was by no means normal.
Magi.
He slowly came down from the air, wrapped in a huge amount of demonic energy that made even the umma himself suffocate.
Perhaps it was because of accepting a vast level of demonic energy, the golden and red eyes were mixed with black and purple, and the right hand covered by the glove was revealed, and the pattern on the back of the hand began to invade the arm beyond the wrist. Did.
Slowly looking at the crowd, he slowly reached out his hand towards the warrior holding the holy sword.
At the same time, a rough grip, as if a shadow and a nightmare united in the air, grabbed the holy sword.
“Who are you? You guys.”
-I’ll save you. Get your words right.
“Ah.”
I have felt this presence before.
She lends her power to a human like this?
She thought it was just her temporary contract and a toy to play with as usual, but she couldn’t allow her own power to go so far with her toy.
Aristocrats who reign in Hell? That is nothing compared to the owner and agent of that design.
Even herself, who is higher than her decent aristocrat, would absolutely not be able to endure if she descended directly in front of her.
If she is her official deputy, she should also be polite.
Even more so if he was just trying to save this pitiful life.
“Yes.”
So slowly he knelt down and bowed his head.
“You are the Demon King’s companion.”
There was a being in front of his eyes who shared his powers as well as his mark as ‘The Demon King’, a title that only seven demons were allowed to use among countless demons in the demon realm.

…What the fuck are you talking about?
I didn’t mean to do a situational drama like this…?
Suddenly, what kind of demon lord’s companion.
I can’t react because it’s so sudden.
First of all, let’s lightly summarize the situation.
Thanks to the succubus queen (?), While wandering in the nightmare, I regained a little of the memories I had forgotten.
So I escaped once again to get her help, but this time Lilac was trying to become a mother-in-law’s slayer, so I urgently stopped it.
But if you just block it, it’s too expensive.
So I counterattacked with the newest artifact the kids don’t know about, the devil’s touch, and since it also has the ability to handle demons, I decided to change my appearance and move on to the play.
I was going to the concept of being manipulated by the succubus queen, but why is this lady suddenly making submissive gestures to me? Don’t you notice?
“So… Sohyeon!”
As I turned my head to Professor Cathy’s voice, the composition looking down on them was completed naturally.
Because of the misunderstanding that she often stares at me, I tried to relax her face and create a languid atmosphere, but somehow Professor Cathy’s face turned a little blue.
No, but how should I answer this?
If it’s set to be manipulated, I’ll answer in moderation, but if you suddenly become the devil’s partner, you can’t say anything.
“Sohyeon, right? I’m here to save you.”
Since I didn’t say anything, the professor seemed a little more anxious, but unfortunately I couldn’t answer.
There’s no reason to save the succubus queen if you get caught saying you’re insane.
I still need more information.
Thanks to remembering the transaction with the master of the world, I understood the entire story of my being possessed by the novel.
But it was still full of uncertainties, such as why I lost my memory, and whether my friend was right to have exercised the ‘authority of the creator.’
Maybe the memory of him is also beyond the noise.
And if you want to see the memories beyond the noise, you’ll need the power of the succubus queen.
Originally, I was going to make a contract with the devil’s touch without the kids knowing, pretending to be manipulated, but suddenly I got drifted and it got a little twisted.
But even so, I can’t find an alternative.
A succubus of a certain level is highly unlikely to be involved in my dream, and a succubus of the queen rank does not appear easily anywhere.
In the first place, even if it wasn’t my memory problem, I couldn’t let it cause an event with a high probability of becoming the seed of discord, ‘Lilac killed Lee Yu-na’s mother’.
No matter how she looked at it, her option to give up on her was gone.
The question now is whether there are dead humans in these dreams…
– For now, it doesn’t seem to exist. It must have been difficult for them to die before the dream world was completed.
-The demon’s touch replies that he doesn’t feel death either.
About this part, I also vaguely felt it because I had absorbed almost all of the Succubus Queen’s powers.
The structure of this dream world, and what the succubus queen wanted to create this world for.
And that I didn’t mean to harm the humans in this dream.
…A world where you can dream what you want forever, and succubuses who feed on the infinite desires that bloom there and satisfy their instincts.

Depending on her point of view, the world she dreamed of is a completed paradise and can be seen as a mutual aid relationship.
It is an incomplete paradise that may break at any moment.
Even if it was completed correctly, this world was destined to never last long.
There are many reasons, but let’s start with just a few.
First of all, suppose there is a person who is completely satisfied with the world of dreams.
No matter how much one can achieve everything in a dream, in the end, if the body in reality does not eat, a human being will die.
Then, the moment you wake up from your dream, you will despair at the gap between yourself in the dream and yourself in reality.
In the end, clinging to the perfect dream world, struggling to never wake up again, you will die from lack of energy.
On the contrary, those who regard reality as more precious will try to run away if they wake up even once.
Even if it’s okay at first, if it keeps repeating itself, eventually the world will become unsustainable, and someone will be forcibly kidnapped to use it as fuel for the dream world.
How do you know?
It could work out, but isn’t it too delusional?
No.
Because the reason for the original work did something very similar to this, so I can assure you.
She who locked herself in her dreams also shed her laugh as she watched the world crumble.
In the end, ‘Ah. It’s fleeting.’ He fought a battle with Lilac in a collapsing world.
My head hurts. This is why complex stories are not good.
He was a villain who tried to use the most moderate method he could think of, even though he had the cause of survival for the sake of his tribe.
I can’t say it’s completely white, but I think it’s okay to look at it as a barely gray.
If you haven’t killed anyone yet, if you’ve suppressed even your instincts and tried to sacrifice yourself for the sake of your own people.
You can at least give them a chance to change.
Yes. I also did a masked villain, but what the fuck is the devil’s companion doing at least once.
As always, if you make up your mind to do something, do it thoroughly.
Think positively.
It’s rather good since Illak hasn’t had a chance to see his skills in person since Masked Villain.
“…Rescue?”
I asked Professor Cathy in an acting tone that I was used to.
“You me?”
Arrogant eyes scan the crowd.
When the demonic energy was mixed with the black spirit holding the lilac holy sword, the demonic energy mixed with the light of the holy sword and the shadow of the dark spirit rebelled with a squealing sound.
“I don’t know who you are asking for, but you are arrogant. Human.”
The gun gradually disappeared from the eyes of the professor who was listening to my answer, and despair and obsession took over the empty seat.
“I will punish you appropriately for your arrogance.”
After retrieving the black spirit, I transferred the image to the demon’s hand, and the corresponding life escaped and the demonic energy swirled in the hand.
The pattern that went beyond the back of the hand to about the middle of the arm began to emit light.
“Go away.”
At the same time as I said that, a notification suddenly went off in my head.
-I was impressed with your acting skills. Garbage bird…No, it creates the trait ‘smoke’ on you.
…Giving this a trait?
But you don’t need it, damn it. Who is trash
It’s not necessary, but maybe thanks to the character, even the subtle awkwardness has disappeared in the already natural acting.
To the extent that Lilac, who was wondering if it was something strange, stood up in front of everyone with her nerves on edge.
The demonic energy that was fired was blocked by the power of the holy sword, and a power struggle began.
“Professor, step back.”
“…Lilac Cadet.”
“You need to calm down. It’s not Sohyun standing there right now.”
“Isn’t that Sohyeon? Sohyun is right. Get out of the way, cadet.”
My professor was very excited. But it’s true. ‘Cause I’m sane You feel good.
“No, I thought Sohyeon was right until just now, but from the moment he attacked me, he changed like a completely different person.”
Now you’re good enough to fool Lilac without the mask of deterrence. Hey, why aren’t you happy?
First of all, I approached the succubus queen, ignoring those who were wary of me.
“…I will ask first. What have you done to me?”
Well, if we’re going to play, let’s share some settings. I need to know what I’m setting up right now.
“Using nightmares and demons gathered in this dream world, you made us a little easier to accept.”
Oh? Oh, really.
Come to think of it, in addition to the powers, I hit people’s nightmares and demons in order to play tricks on me.
You hit it like this?
But it seems plausible.
From the point of view of the kids and the professor, when they came to the deepest part, it was like I was captured and floating in an orb made of demons and nightmares.
Even if the original goal was to make a ‘demon king’s companion’, I don’t think it would be too unnatural?
“Really.”
A character like this shouldn’t talk too much or not.
Are you saying you have to keep a taciturn concept?
“Then what are those things?”
And it is more advantageous to have an image of a person asking questions rather than answering them.
I saw it in a novel.
“These are thieves who dare to come to harm you.”
It was felt that everyone was taken aback by those words.
“These guys don’t know the subject.”
“Yes, that is correct.”
“Don’t be ridiculous…!”
Hani shouted in a fit of heat, but she pretended not to hear and spoke to the queen.
“Noisy.”
“It’s because I failed to deal with the intruder. Punish me.”
Oh, I thought it was a bit excessive at first, but he is good at acting.
“It’s a punishment.”
The devil’s hand read the intention and created a contract with Magi.
A contract of absolute obedience.
It was an unequal contract, practically equivalent to a slave contract, in which Eul could never go against Ga as long as Ga Eul’s life was guaranteed, but she stretched out her hand toward the dagger I held out and shed blood without hesitation.
It was the moment the contract was completed.
“Good. Be punished.”
Then the succubus queen disappeared as if melting into thin air.
…Isn’t that fine? He even acts to save his life, but if he dies without helping, it’s a bit difficult.
-Yes, luckily I’m fine.
…That’s fine. But why are you saying something respectful when the kids can’t even hear it anymore?
There was no reply this time. It’s very cool.
Okay, anyway, now I’ve naturally taken care of what I need.
A professor looking at me with almost dying eyes.
A lilac that seems to have made up its mind to die.
Hani is touching the handle of her sword as if she doesn’t like it.
Even Cheonyuhak nodding his head while looking at the Noryongchang.
…What are they talking about now?
While thinking about what to start with, two new people appeared.
One was Kim Ga-eul with a somewhat half-hearted expression, and the other was my older sister with a somewhat red face.
They looked at the situation for a while, and when they saw my changed appearance, they started to panic.
My sister was the first to speak.
“Keeping your senses, Cathy.”
“Na Hyun-ah, what should I do? Sohyeon is…”
“I don’t know what this is going on, but it’s okay. Sohyeon hasn’t completely disappeared yet.”
…Huh? What is that again They are openly saying ‘I’m corrupted!’
I’m not gone?
“I met Sohyeon at the end before waking up from my dream.”
…Huh?
Ah, that’s right.
All the other children woke up on their own, or as the dream progressed, but my sister was particularly severely possessed by the power, so I woke her up with what she saw.
No, but weren’t you sleeping? Am I embarrassing?
“At first I thought it was a dream, but then he definitely talked to me. Consciousness seemed clear. There’s no way it has completely disappeared in such a short amount of time.”
…Huh? Come to think of it, isn’t this a chance?
I controlled the demon for a while and let go of the smoke.
For an instant, her eyes, which had been engulfed by demonic energy and dyed purple, shimmered in their original red color, and at the same time, as if in pain, she grabbed her head.
“Kuh.”
Hope began to shine in the eyes of the party.
There is still a ray of light left in the inner side of the comrades captured by the villain. It’s a cliché. Right?
At this level, I think I can lose naturally after a little effort?
-…Are you playing the villain again?
It seems Son Goku is talking, but he is in a corrupted state, so I can’t hear him?
