Interview with the Demon King – 2
When he stepped back from the Count, Neryl said cynically.
“You treated you like a fly at the top of the table, and then you suddenly changed your position like flipping your palms? It’s nimble.”
“That’s why the name of a hero is so heavy. Kayle doesn’t know where he’s been, and the hero of the north is right next to him.”
“I said it was cunning.”
“Well, wouldn’t it be much better than sticking to your position in this yard? I prefer to be cunning rather than hard-headed.”
Neryl shrugged as if he couldn’t help it.
Then Xenia opened her mouth with a dark complexion.
“Mr Maid. Do you know anything about Ophelia?”
“uh. I guess.”
“Please tell me that guess.”
I sighed lightly.
And I told the truth I hoped to be a lie.
“In the past, demon lords had their own limbs other than normal monsters. Do you know?”
Serene crossed her arms and answered.
“In terms of the Imperial Guard, it’s the Guard. In terms of a hero party, it’s heroic. As a priest, there were solicitors who asked to donate money.”
“I think the last metaphor is a bit wrong.”
“It was the most metaphor for conversion…”
“Anyway, there were monsters that weren’t as strong as the Demon King himself, but were as powerful as that. So, is it different from being the Demon Lord of Lies?”
Xenia’s face grew pale.
“Are you saying that Ophelia has become such a being?”
“…my guess is yes.”
“Ahh.”
Xenia stumbles.
Neryl quickly supported her and said,
“Didn’t you say it with your mouth? He said Maid took care of it well in the capital. He said that if there is Maid, everything will work out.”
“Mr. Neril.”
“Now stand up straight. heavy.”
“……thanks.”
“I said it was heavy, but I don’t know what to be grateful for.”
Xenia straightened her back and said.
“In the past, all of the demon king’s limbs were monsters. Idria turned Ophelia into a monster.”
“Well.”
“Are there any other tribes?”
Of course.
I briefly recalled the memories before the return.
The tribes of Idria.
The so-called Five Fingers of Lies were a major obstacle to our party before the return.
It was perceived as an obstacle.
So our party killed them without any hesitation.
‘Among them, the limbs that dealt with the exploding parasitic worms.’
Terrana was called the fifth finger.
The meaning of the name Terranaim was mentioned by Lissel before the return.
While on the way to the quest in the territory where Terranaim was encamped at that time, Lissel said this.
“By the way, this is the subject of this quest.”
“Is it Terrana?”
“yes. There’s something a little unsettling.”
Before the return, it was Resell, who spoke less than one-tenth of what it is now.
That’s why our eyes turned to her.
Lissel was slightly embarrassed and waved her hand.
“I didn’t mean to tell everyone to look at you like that.”
“Little boy, it’s strange that you opened your mouth first.”
“Mr. Neril. Actually, I am older than Neril.”
“under. After all, a person who jokes is good at it.”
Come to think of it, I didn’t know that Lissel was the Spirit King or that he was 1,500 years old before the return.
I think I can see how different then and now.
I asked at the time.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“The name Terranaim itself.”
“yes?”
“That name means ‘friend’ in the spirit language. Of course, it was just a coincidence.”
I stopped reminiscing.
okay.
Terranaim is a spirit word meaning friend.
Idria gave the name ‘Friend’ to Ophelia, who became her limb.
she knew
The fact that there is Ophelia’s friend, Xenia, among the party members.
So, I deliberately named him a friend and deceived Xenia through it.
‘for a moment. Seeing that…’
The person who killed Terranaim at the time.
I glanced at Xenia.
She tilted her head as if asking why.
‘damn.’
[what’s the matter.]
‘It was Xenia who killed Terranaim. before the return.’
[……]
‘Kyle ordered it. If it’s your holy sword, you’ll be able to cut it, like that.’
Perhaps Kayle followed what ‘The Road to a Hero’ taught.
Without any doubt, Xenia blew off the head of Terranaim, who had been devastated by us.
At that time, Terranaim’s face and body were completely different from those of Ophelia.
‘Idria was so happy to see that.’
I grinded this out.
Then Xenia asked, surprised.
“Uh, why are you like this all of a sudden?”
“Nope. Anyway, as you said, the Demon King will have other limbs. Because the demon kings in the past also had multiple limbs.”
Everyone was silent for a moment.
But rather than being afraid, it felt like each of us was worrying about various things.
Our party members have also grown in distribution.
Then Ardwin opened his mouth.
“brother. You said Kayle was alive, right?”
“yes.”
“Then why don’t you show up here?”
“……?”
“Idria wants to make Kayle into a hero… so she wants to raise her reputation by having Kayle stop doing this.”
I swallowed my saliva at that sharp point.
Okay, why aren’t you coming? Kyle Wake.
What is Idria up to?
I replied with a sigh.
“I don’t know about this either. I will tell you soon.”
“Ah yes. Yeah? Are you going to tell me soon?”
“Somehow, I feel like I’ll find out soon.”
If my level goes up one more level, I will be able to see the secrets of Grade A.
You can see not only where Ophelia’s real body was hidden, but also some of Idria’s dirty schemes.
I changed the topic.
“Rather than that, let’s focus on how to deal with this first.”
They all settled down and waited for me to speak.
“The best way is to destroy Ophelia’s fake body and put her soul into her real body. However.”
“The problem is that you don’t know where your real body is.”
“right. So at least we have to stop it from happening today until we find the real body.”
“Should I lock him up somewhere? I’m sorry for Jenna.”
Xenia shakes her head vigorously.
“Ophelia is a dear friend of mine, but I don’t mind putting others at risk. If you don’t kill me, I’ll cooperate with you as much as you want to imprison me.”
“Ugh. Then you’d better use prison tricks.”
Then the offense intervened.
“I’m speaking from the standpoint of facing Ophelia directly, but I don’t know if it can be neutralized by the prison technique. She was stronger than anything I had ever seen.”
“……Then what? It’s a safe place to be locked up.”
Sreung.
I took out my sword.
Everyone’s eyes turn round and they look at me.
I opened my mouth as I flicked my sword up and down.
“Shall we tear up the space again after a long time?”
Ophelia was in the corner of the most remote alley in the Dronor estate.
To be precise, it was more like a garbage dump than an alley.
A place where people from nearby villages pile up various kinds of garbage in the house.
At the foot of the rubbish, Ophelia clasped her legs and hugged her.
‘What the hell happened to me?’
A few days ago, she experienced the pain of breaking her head.
A terribly drowsy, terribly evil voice was heard.
-Use the power I have given you.
-Kill all the landowners.
– Divide the Maid Party.
endured and endured.
Because he didn’t want the people of his hometown, David, and Xenia to see him like this.
However, it reached its limit at the festival site.
He planted worms in David.
The insect, which looked like a beetle that made me sick just by looking at it, was put into the ear of the man I loved.
“Sobbing. What the hell am I going to do…”
She was sobbing all of a sudden.
Now I can’t even tell you all the facts.
The voices in her head grew louder and louder, and this strange body was completely out of Ophelia’s control.
She is now a doll.
A doll of Demon Lord Idria.
-Kill all the landowners.
‘Hey, this is… not enough. no way.’
Her tremors grow louder and louder.
He clenched his teeth enough to tear his lips and break his teeth, but to no avail.
At some point, Ophelia’s trembling stopped.
She slowly rose from her seat with empty eyes.
And spit out the bugs in the garbage heap.
“Cool. Whoa, whoa.”
The same worm that had just been planted in David came back from his stomach and cascaded from Ophelia’s mouth.
Insects began to scatter in all directions of the territory as if each had a will.
“Wow, wow. ugh.”
Insects that seem to be in the millions at an estimate!
She had to continue the disgusting vomiting for a while.
Even in a situation in which all control is taken away, tears are as free as tears.
I’d rather take away even these tears, why did I leave them behind?
Ophelia found the answer to that question herself.
‘Because it’s fun?’
pain.
It hurts so much that I feel like dying.
‘Someone, someone help me. please!’
As a member of the Knights of Light, there is an existence that I unintentionally seeks whenever there is a difficult or sad event.
celestial god.
However, the present Ophelia did not seek the heavenly god.
Because there is an existence in this territory that symbolizes ‘hope’ that touches the skin more than that.
Touk.
The vomiting was over.
With all her might, she regained control of her mouth, even briefly.
Ophelia raised her voice and cried.
“Please save me. Warrior! Maid!”
Then someone’s voice echoed in her head.
– Saying the name I hate the most.
easy profit. Paah!
next moment.
Ophelia’s body was enveloped in a black mist.
And the mist completely ‘changed’ Ophelia.
To find Ophelia, Xenia called Agril first.
Read at noblemtl.com
Just like we did this morning, for the sake of sharing our vision.Xenia first got on Agril’s back and beckoned to us.
“Hurry up.”
“Agrill are you okay?”
“It’ll be fine.”
It’s actually a lot worse than the first time. Agril.
– Crer.
Agril resists as if dissatisfied.
Then Xenia hurriedly comforted her.
“sorry. Agril. Twice a day is not allowed?”
“……”
“okay. I’ll feed you Serene later. Burn it.”
“Wait. hey.”
“The negotiations have been made. Come on, everyone, get on board.”
“Hey.”
When I flew up on Agril like that.
Suddenly, insects started crawling from somewhere in the alley of the estate.
It quickly became a wave and a tsunami.
Without time to touch anything or anything, all the insects fill up the territory in an instant.
When I was young, there was a landslide on our estate.
Since it was a manor with only mountains visible in all directions, the landslide was one of the greatest crises in the manor.
Then I grabbed my father’s hand and fled, then I looked back.
– Kuwagwagwang. Kwagwang.
A pile of dirt that devours everything.
I felt a shock that shook my soul at the overwhelming scene created by nature.
And I still feel the same shock as I did then.
“It feels like a landslide of bugs.”
“under. I was thinking about how to express it, but I have to give up. There will be no more.”
Ardwin said in a trembling voice.
“Hey, are we late?”
The answer to that question came from the earth.
“aah!”
“Hey, what is this? go away. go away!”
“Ugh. came into my ears Heh heh heh.”
“My head… it’s so itchy on the inside of my head. Please save me.”
“Uhhhh. warrior. Please save us.”
“Calde! please!”
There is no such thing as Abigail
Rissel opened her mouth in a hurry, not knowing what to do.
“Oh. How the hell…”
“You should ask Jenny about that. Xenia, did you find it?”
Xenia was already collaborating with Agril.
She opened her eyes with a cold sweat.
“yes. I found it.”
“It was quite fast.”
“I went back to where the bugs started crawling. I thought Ophelia was there.”
“You got it right. Come on.”
“But Ophelia eats worms…”
Xenia’s face was pale blue.
For a moment I understood what he was saying.
Before returning, the bugs also climbed up from Terranaim’s stomach.
That must be the power of Idria.
asked Neryl.
“why? Why don’t you talk?”
“Hey, let’s go. Agril.”
Xenia handled Agril and started descending.
The people of Yeongji looked at the chariot of the gods coming down through the dark clouds as they howled in agony and pain.
“ooh. Kayle… isn’t it?”
“Made! Maid Mohan.”
“The Hero of the North!”
“Anyone is fine. Please save me.”
“Why doesn’t Kayle appear?”
“Please save me. My head is itchy!”
“Ugh. I hate being like David.”
such stories
Youngji people were engulfed in opposing emotions of hope and despair.
That was then.
There was a voice that reached my ears very weakly through the cries of the young people.
– Please save me. Warrior! Mad!
What? What is this voice?
[what’s the matter. I look around.]
‘Didn’t you hear it?’
[Eh? What……]
‘It was Ophelia.’
I tried to explain more, but the circumstances around me were not in a position to do so.
First of all, let’s calm down the young people.
If you run wild with excitement, you just become more easily targeted by bugs.
I winked at Neryl.
Now, if you pretend, she, who is Chuck, uses voice amplification magic.
I cried out in a loud voice.
“Everyone, calm down! Making a fuss makes the bugs even more irritating.”
“Warrior.”
“We will solve the article in this territory. Please believe in me and watch over me.”
All the young people raise their voices.
“ooh!”
“thank you. Thank you very much.”
“Maid-sama, it’s dark.”
No, don’t make a fuss.
After all, with this kind of flood of insects, it may not make much difference whether you are excited or calm.
I’d rather finish it sooner rather than later.
I told my companions.
“let’s go.”
We entered the alleyway.
In the middle of the dumpster was Ophelia.
No, there was ‘Terranaim’.
‘It is the same as before the regression.’
[There are no traces of Ophelia.]
Yes.
Terranaim was an old woman.
Gray frizzy hair.
Wrinkles, the traces of time, on the face.
The bent shoulders and waist are there.
Decades later, Ophelia was on the verge of death.
I clicked my tongue and muttered.
“I’ll save you. at your request.”
