Interview with the Demon King – 3
Xenia swallows saliva.
Ophelia… So, Terranaim slowly opened her mouth.
It was a cracking voice that suited his appearance.
“Zenia.”
“·················ogue.”
“Jenia. It’s me. It’s Ophelia.”
“·················ogue.”
“Help me. Please… don’t let the hero there kill me.”
It was a desperate statement, but Xenia responded immediately without thinking.
“I’m not going to kill Mr. Maid. There’s nothing I can do about it.”
“·················ogue.”
“You must surrender immediately. That way, I will have something to say to Mr. Maid.”
this guy
I didn’t know you would stand by my side as if it was natural.
I looked at Xenia with a new feeling.
Then Ophelia said.
no. It’s not Ophelia’s voice.
“Neither can I.”
Idria!
Are you connected to the body of your own limbs?
Idria continues.
“great. Not officially introduced again. I am Terrana.”
“Shut up!”
I grinded this out.
“Terranaim? Doesn’t that mean friend in the spirit language?”
“Oh.”
“I am not talking to you, Ophelia. I’m telling you, Idria. You motherfucker.”
“·················ogue.”
“Have you made Xenia’s friend like that and named it ‘friend’ in spirit words? I’m sick of your lies and deceit.”
Idria will be watching.
will be listening
Even before returning, he tried to communicate with us through his limbs.
Although indirectly, this is the first time I’ve spoken to Idria after returning.
I poured out all the anger I had on her until now.
“How far must you play with humans to feel cool? Wouldn’t it be better to fall into my hands as soon as possible like other demon lords in the past?”
“Did you know that I can connect with my fingers?”
It wasn’t the cracked one a while ago, but a fine, soft voice.
And it’s a voice that sounds drowsy.
‘It’s Idria!’
The party members seemed to have realized that ‘that’ was Idria even if they didn’t tell me.
Chaang. fault.
Everyone takes out their weapons and confronts her.
Idria asked through Terranaim.
“How did you know? This must be the first time I have shown my limbs to the world.”
Of course, instead of answering the question, I spoke coldly.
“You lonely demon who is not welcomed by everyone in the world. Where are you now?”
“·················ogue.”
“If you tell me the place, I will find you as quickly as possible. I even prepared a present for you.”
“Hmm. Guess I’ll have to ask my roommate. There’s a guy who’s going to have a seizure when I see you.”
“Kailed?”
“okay. It is not yet the time for us to meet. But if it’s an indirect conversation like this, we can talk about it. Still, I have a lot of questions for you.”
Whoops.
Suddenly, the floor where Terranaim was standing trembled.
And after a while the floor exploded.
– Kuwagwagwang!
Three or four nearby buildings collapse in vain.
“Aww.”
“It’s a monster!”
“What an ugly-looking guy….”
The floor didn’t really explode.
It was just that a huge insect that had been sleeping in the ground woke up.
‘What about that worm?’
A being different from the millions of ordinary bugs that Terranaim controls.
It reminds me of Terranaim who sat on that bug’s shoulder before returning and looked down at us.
‘Hell name.’
Kook. thud.
The worm put its eight legs on the ground.
It just felt like our bodies were floating lightly.
“Hey, it’s bigger than a building.”
“Everyone, prepare for battle. It will be quite difficult to deal with that guy.”
That was when I said that.
On Hellname’s shoulder, Teranaim… No, Idria’s voice, who borrowed her mouth, could be heard.
“Made. Follow me.”
“What?”
“I request an interview with you. Of course, it’s one-on-one.”
“Can’t we just kill this bug and go?”
“Are you worried that your handsome party members won’t be able to kill just one bug? If that’s the case, then I’ve had colleagues who don’t see much of it than I thought.”
I cried at those words.
Idria flew into the sky, believing that I would follow her.
Then, with a thump, Neryl slapped me on the back.
“go. We will catch him and follow him.”
“It’s too dangerous.”
“That was what I was going to say.”
“·················ogue.”
“This is the first time the Demon Lord Idria has appeared in front of us. You should take this opportunity to get as much information as possible from him.”
Neryl’s words were right.
However, Hellname is the king of bugs that caused us a lot of trouble even before the return.
Indeed, without me, only these guys…
After thinking up to that point, I immediately realized how arrogant I had been.
‘Why did you think no?’
All my party members are heroic.
He is an elite among the elite who are never pushed back even compared to other heroic party members in the past.
I made up my mind and said.
“Neryl. Cast the flying magic.”
“I already walked.”
“Thank you. Thank you all.”
The party members are laughing.
“I’m just happy to be able to pay for a meal after a long time.”
“Be careful, Mr. Maid. I’ll kill this bug and go help right away.”
“Take care of Ophelia.”
“I summoned Lephia-sama’s soul. You and your brother are a good match, right?”
“Would you like to bet who will finish first?”
I grinned and took the Desolation Jewel out of my arms.
Then he threw it at Neryl and said.
“The meaning of cheering.”
“This is what you who are dealing with the Demon King should take.”
“Idria borrowed Ophelia’s body, but the demon lord’s body did not descend. He cannot exert more power than the power he has given him.”
“However······.”
“Okay. Even the Demon King is a hero who wins, but I wonder if he will be defeated by that tribe.”
Neryl smiled and wrapped the jewel in her hand.
“okay. I will write well.”
“okay.”
I took a step into the air.
As if there was an invisible staircase, it gradually climbs upwards.
Neryl’s voice was heard from behind.
“Everyone, pay attention. I have a job.”
Idria was perched a long way from the king of worms.
She said.
“Are you going to give me an official name?”
“You should look at your face. Show your body with the power of that handsome space.”
“It’s difficult. There is Bion Kunze, but it seems that you too have become strong ignorantly.”
“He was a more fearful demon than I thought. I was so scared even now, but what will I do when the trust comes down?”
“👀”
Idria smiled coldly.
And he spit out words that made his ears doubtful.
“Maid, I’m going to tell you a special secret in the sense that I want you to give up.”
“what?”
“There will be no trusts.”
For a moment, I felt like all the lights in the world were turned off.
The Demon King spoke over and over again as if to listen carefully.
“There is no trust. Therefore, you cannot become a hero.”
“what······.”
“So, stop giving up. If you stop, you are good.”
“Stop the bullshit!”
Wasn’t there an oracle even before the return?
That demon king is just trying to deceive me with lies, just like my nickname.
But after seeing my reaction, Idria calmly continued her explanation.
“You should have heard from Bion Kunze. I am a very special Demon Lord. And Bion Kunze is also a very special hero.”
“·················ogue.”
“And because it’s special, our fight must be done very secretly.”
I couldn’t understand what you meant.
Idria continued.
“Even if I die, I will continue to resurrect. Lies have always been filled with the world since the beginning of time.”
“I heard that.”
“If the fight between me and Bion is made known to the world. The demon king must have fallen, but did he reappear soon? The same demon lord has never been resurrected?”
“·················ogue.”
“Don’t you think…?”
What the hell are you talking about?
“What does that have to do with the oracle not coming down?”
“If the hero who had even set up an oracle didn’t even kill the Demon King properly, wouldn’t his face be lost?”
“Someone’s.”
“The oracle of existence.”
I felt like my heart stopped.
‘A celestial god?’
At some point, my feelings of maintaining my composure fluctuate.
“So… the heavenly god won’t issue an oracle for fear of losing his face, are you saying this?”
“okay.”
“·················ogue.”
“That’s why I’ve been a hero since the day it rained. I don’t want the oracle to be thrown down loudly.”
·········.
I don’t understand.
If it is a heavenly god, of course, isn’t it normal to spend all sorts of money for mankind?
What kind of bullshit is that you won’t take out an oracle just because you’re losing face.
‘Trail. Is that correct?’
[At least it’s true that I’m a warrior who doesn’t need an oracle.]
‘··········.’
[But don’t worry. I will not give you an oracle for me, but I will certainly give you an oracle for you. In fact, even before the return, the oracle went down.]
I carefully managed my expression.
and asked carefully.
‘Idria says that he won’t give oracles to the hero who kills the resurrected demon king? Because his face has been cut.’
[That is Idria’s delusion. The heavenly god can’t do that. If the heavenly god was such a naive person, then for what the hell am I so…]
‘··········.’
[Whoa. Sorry for the excitement. Anyway, don’t listen. Have you forgotten what his nickname is?]
lord of lies.
But why?
This time, I have an intuition that that demon king has put the ‘truth’ in his mouth.
I said.
‘Before the regression, the oracle had definitely fallen. But it went down to Kyle. When you think about it, isn’t it strange? Why has the trust been given to such a child?’
[Because at that time, Caled was the most famous.]
‘··········.’
[Made. Are you listening to me?]
Well.
no.
I was silent for a while.
And asked Idria.
“You mean there really is no trust?”
“okay. He has very dark ears.”
I shook my head and asked again.
“Aren’t you trying to put down a fake oracle?”
Idria’s face hardened.
you got it right
I continued.
“You can fake the sword of a hero, the jewel of a demon king, and even a human body.”
“·················ogue.”
“What can’t be called a trust? That’s right, was it meant to mark the culmination of ‘Creating a Caled Warrior’ with a fake oracle?”
“You, you are…”
“I was wondering why Kayle didn’t show up on this one, but it seems he’s busy preparing for the fake oracle.”
Idria remained silent.
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Meanwhile, Trail exclaimed in shock.[Fake trust? So you’re saying that the oracle before the return was also fake? Didn’t the heavenly god really grant an oracle?]
‘calm down. trail.’
[··········.]
‘I understand your heart, but for now, let’s listen to Idria’s answer.’
Then Idria opened her mouth.
“You are truly a bizarre creature.”
“Only you will do it.”
“I meant to give up, but it was only a loss. If that’s the case, don’t even ask for an interview.”
“·················ogue.”
“I won’t go away. But leave Terranaim behind. It may not kill you, but it will dramatically damage your reputation.”
Before disappearing, Idria looked behind me and continued.
“Bion, you’re fine.”
“·················ogue.”
“After all, talking like this through the Sioux family doesn’t do much harm to me. I will visit you again often.”
It felt like his tone had changed slightly from when he was talking to me.
I wonder if this expression is right, but to be honest, it even feels familiar.
Bion answered in my head.
[Tell me to turn it off quickly.]
“Turn it off quickly.”
Idria growled.
“You’re so unchanging.”
uh uh
Something dark mist could be seen escaping from Terranaim’s body.
I had to try to calm my confused mind for a while.
Then, slowly, light returned to Terranaim, the old Ophelia’s eyes.
okay. Worry is later.
There is someone I need to save now.
I raised my sword.
“Mr Ophelia. Can you hear me?”
“·················ogue.”
“Jenia was like that. You said you said a lot of words that were a little unfamiliar to you when you were young?”
“·················ogue.”
“Compared to Ardwin, I wonder who has the upper hand. When you come back as a human later, will you show it to me?”
Ophelia’s eyes twinkle.
What was she trying to say?
However, no voice came out of Ophelia’s mouth, who had become a doll with the power of Idria.
Only painful moans and weeping.
“Ugh. Huh.”
Ophelia. Sorry before returning.
‘Cause I can’t figure out who you are
Because I can’t stop Xenia from killing you.
‘As an apology…’
I took a stance.
“I will break the filthy chains of Idria.”
