Rarely, the demon king who left the throne found a hidden room somewhere in the demon castle.
Grotesque and densely stretched stems like tree roots or veins all over the room. They were absorbing the demonic energy of the air and taking it somewhere.
In the dark room, three lights of purple, red, and blue shone softly on the front of the demon king.
She raised her head and stared ahead.
There were three huge eggs, each of which emitted a different light.
They radiated a subtle glow and were the ones who received magic power from the stalks that covered the room.
Red and blue eggs about 5m in size, one on each side. And a huge purple egg that seemed to be 20 meters long ominously slithered between them.
The demon king’s gaze was directed to the small boy, Satan, whose silhouette could be seen through the inside of the purple egg.
[…]
After staring at him for a long time, the demon king soon moved and stood in front of the red egg.
She ran her palm across the surface of the egg. And I was lost in thought.
About two weeks ago, the birth of the allied forces was confirmed.
The enemy forces regrouped and advanced again, and built another forward fort at the second point, 2/3 of the distance to the Devil’s Castle.
In the meantime, I’ve been in the middle of these children’s growth, but now I can’t delay the situation. All-out war was unavoidable.
[It’s not yet time…]
she murmured.
can’t do First of all, I have no choice but to hatch even one individual first to pass the time.
[Wake up.]
flash-
The surface of the red egg flashed, and the silhouette inside opened its eyes.
After removing his hand, the demon king turned around and walked out of the room. As her gaze moved away, the egg wriggled wildly as if trying to break through the thin film and jump out.
another angle, another angle.
Her will to walk with the eggs behind was carried on the Demonic Air and resonated throughout the Demon King’s Castle.
[Sort out.]
The all-out war between the Alliance and the Demon King’s army is approaching.
+++
The coalition’s advance northward went smoothly.
They advanced to the second point and succeeded in building a fort. However, the atmosphere was not so good.
At this point, besides Doyoon, others could feel the strangeness.
I’ve already pushed up the wires more than half way. However, the Demon King’s army took no action.
No matter how devastatingly defeated in the last war, the power of the Demon King’s army could never be ignored. This is an obvious fact that the Coalition has been learning painfully over the past hundred years.
So, everyone could know.
‘The Demon King’s Army is preparing something.’
The calm of this bloodless entry must have been the eve of the storm.
The allied forces made every effort to maintain their posture amidst the tension.
It was also bad news that the busker’s strength was barely built up because there was no fighting.
“Loyalty!”
The soldiers guarding the door of the commander-in-chief’s office saluted Dokgo Moo-yeong.
He nodded and knocked on the door of the Commander-in-Chief’s office.
smart.
“…”
No answer came.
‘It’s not like he was away.’
I could definitely feel that Enoch was inside.
Dokgo Moo-young looked at the soldier next to him, and he quickly gave his body strength and announced.
“The commander-in-chief is currently undergoing personal maintenance inside!”
“Did you ever say not to let people in?”
“no!”
That’s right. Dokgo Moo-young cleared his throat again and knocked.
“smart.”
“…”
“…”
The two soldiers desperately maintained a poker face.
“Enoch, this is Dokgo Moo-yeong. Excuse me for a moment.”
Dokgo Moo-young opened the door with a warm smile as always.
Then, at the thick mana attacking from inside the room, he flinched and hardened his expression.
“…”
Dokgo Moo-young, who had been staring blankly for a moment, quietly closed the door and entered so as not to be disturbed.
rattle.
He adjusted his breathing to the mana that filled the room with suffocating force. And I looked at Enoch.
A golden aura rose over his shoulders and top of his head as he sat cross-legged on the bed.
saa…
Doyoon was meditating while taking off his top, exposing his body like a marble statue.
Beads of sweat flowed frequently from the heated muscles, and steam was released.
Dokgo Moo-yeong couldn’t help but admire Do-yoon’s momentum.
‘Indeed… great concentration and mana.’
According to the records, Enoch always emphasized the importance of ‘will’ in mana control.
And Dokgo Moo-young himself was one of the strongest warriors on the continent, especially when it came to mana control, he was second only to being sad.
However, Dokgo Moo-young still couldn’t catch the will of Enoch’s words.
This suggested that Lord Enoch was in a remote state in mana control that he would not even dare to look up at.
Moo-yeong Dok-go saw Enoch meditating and suddenly came up with such a thought.
‘Mana is the source of all power. If I can use it as freely as my limbs…’
Can it be said that its existence is different from God?
How far can Enoch, who is still growing at a terrifying pace, go up?
perhaps…
‘…a nonsensical sound.’
Dokgo Moo-young dismissed the absurd delusion and shook his head. He reproved himself saying that he had a lot of random thoughts after he got old.
Then he waited for Enoch’s meditation to end.
Woooo…
Doyoon’s body heated up with heat, and the golden mana light shook like a haze.
The dragon heart blazing in his danjeon warmed mana. The hot mana raised like heat from the danteon gathered in his chest and heated the second dragon heart in his heart.
The heart of the heart was originally just a cold jewel. It was because Doyoon was a cold star that he could not control, because he had stored up a huge amount of mana.
However, Doyoon ignited the second heart in the last match against the demon king. As a result, he was able to step into the realm of magic level 9, albeit briefly.
And that feeling remained in Doyoon’s body.
‘We must not forget the feeling at that time.’
After that, Doyoon meditated whenever he had free time. Warming the heart, I tried to remind you of the sensations of that time.
Willpower became stronger in the fight against the demon king, and training was the only specialty that Dunjae was born with.
As a result, Doyoon was able to succeed in controlling the second heart to some extent.
‘Only for a certain amount of time on the battlefield, I’ll be able to turn on the heart again.’
Although it is impossible to ignite it as if turning on a light right away, I knew that it would be possible if I stood on the battlefield.
Will is the strongest driving force for mana control. If he faces the demon army, especially the army commanders, and burns hundreds of years of hatred and anger, his will will surely warm his heart.
Doyoon was always ready to move on to level 9, ready to regain the output of his previous life.
“Whoa…”
He stopped concentrating and let out a hot breath. He wiped his sweaty chin with the back of his hand.
When I opened my eyelids, the golden eyes cooled and returned to their original black color.
‘Magic Level 9. How long did it take… to get here?’
In his previous life, he accumulated mana while doing all sorts of things in repeated regression. As a result, it took 200 years to reach the level of its heyday.
But in this life? What is the body of this divine beast?
‘About a year or so.’
only one year. It took one year to catch up on 200 years of achievements.
Doyoon barely restrained himself from laughing.
‘Huh… Was this a thing called talent?’
Busker, Hecleos, and the numerous geniuses and colleagues he had met passed by in his mind.
‘They were enjoying this good thing alone. It’s like cowardly people.’
Thinking of that, I let out a big smile. He was so excited to see the results of his training so well that he was even talking nonsensical jokes.
Do-yoon brushed off his thoughts and accepted the towel in front of him.
“thank you.”
To his gratitude, Dokgo Moo-young smiled benevolently.
Doyoon asked as he wiped his sweaty upper body.
“What is it? It seems the enemies are still there.”
“I have something I want to ask, and I’m here to give you a present.”
“gift?”
Doyoon winked as if to tell me.
“Lord Enoch.”
“Yes.”
“Do you have an elixir?”
“…When I was sick, the person who brought me the elixir from the warehouse was the old man. That’s right.”
Elixir.
It is a legendary elixir that completely eliminates injuries and disabilities that exist in any form the moment it is consumed, and greatly increases the user’s potential.
Like the existence of dragons, opinions were divided as to whether they were real or just legends, but their existence was officially proven in Enoch’s journal. And in this century, it was a treasure that had never been revealed to the public.
However, when Doyoon collapsed in a fight with Verd, he sent warriors to the warehouse of valuables in Enoch’s legacy.
There were as many as two bottles of elixir, and one bottle was used to treat Do-yoon right away.
And, in preparation for an emergency, Do-yoon kept the remaining bottle in the sub-space.
“Lord Enoch.”
Dokgo Moo-young put it into his mouth and made a serious expression.
“Let me ask you one question.”
He stared straight into Doyoon’s eyes.
“If Busker were in danger of dying, would Enoch use the elixir on him?”
“…”
“Or, would you aid in your friend’s death? Please tell me.”
Dokgo Moo-young urged Do-yoon to answer.
