Chapter 244 – Chapter 244. Plan, Improvise, and Execute
Pata Garbon?
A person who has been crowned as the queen of dream horses after Parta, the first dream horse who has reigned as the king of dream horses for thousands of years.
Other demons and officials judged her as lacking in her virtues as a lord, but at least the dreamers, more than her predecessors, regarded her as her most ideal leader.
Its greed and free-spirited personality, more than that of the first dream horse, symbolize the dream horse that roams around without a material form in itself.
Any mighty power is meaningless in front of her, and even if it is an opponent that can capture itself, it will dazzle the mind and turn it into her slave.
And it doesn’t just end with the scent of a nightmare.
A tongue and a sweet voice that skillfully pierce people’s hearts. She realizes the truth just by collecting fragmentary evidence, and in the meantime cleverly inserts lies to induce her opponent to move according to her will.
She, who expressed her desires without regret through her qualities, was able to live a life that was not envied by many dreamers’ longing for her free-spirited appearance.
She gains her strength by conciliating the strong, and by not ignoring that influence, she rises to the rank of an executive in the Demon King’s Army…
However, even such an arrogant woman existed in this world who couldn’t bear to look over them.
A warrior, and a demon king.
Beings with great power who play separately as if they are isolated from this world.
Garbonya knew very well that they couldn’t do anything just out of interest.
Feeling curious, she approached the warriors of each generation and the demon king, and even she, who was not afraid of the world, had to prepare for the extinction of her existence in such a collision.
However, she survived in the end, and each time she survived the friction with them, she acquired information one after another.
And the information she gathered influenced her later plans.
It’s not clearly set up, but when I think of it, it’s sparse…
The plan, which was so fragmented and abstract, was carried out very impulsively.
Because she had enjoyed everything in the world, she could not erase her desire to enjoy being outside the world.
‘If I don’t need that power, can you transfer it to me?’
I want to become a demon king.
I want to see what it would feel like to become a demon king and how the world would change if I could freely use that power.
Her pure desire led her to make an outrageous proposal to the man who led the dreamers before her.
‘Power, you mean?’
‘I heard you’ve been in your room for hundreds of years already? Then it wouldn’t be bad to give it to me and see how the world will change.’
Parta, the former king of dream demons.
As the first dream horse, he survived for thousands of years, accumulated power, and grew into a being called the Ancients.
Despite having endless desires, beings who live emptyly because they have enjoyed everything in the world.
That’s why even though they live without ties to the world, if they wish, they are given the opportunity to become a demon king who conquers an era.
If there is self-will, not others.
In fact, unless you become a demon king, you don’t need to exist in this world, but if you don’t even want to consider that, wouldn’t it be a good option to transfer your power to someone else?
‘… Take it, it’s a power I don’t need.’
Of course, to the demons, nuclear is no different from life.
If it was given up, it would be virtually tantamount to a time limit, but Parta did not mind it and gave the power to herself.
The Ancients were such a being.
An existence that only leads an empty life because it is annoying even to die. That’s why, if there is an opportunity to stimulate himself, he is an existence that can even give up his life at any time.
‘Are you really okay?’
‘Yes, it’s a life without regrets anyway… It wouldn’t be bad to experience a life that is waiting for an end soon.’
It was a request that could have cost him his own life, but he surrendered his life so casually and disappeared from his place.
I don’t know what happened after that, but I’m sure he died soon.
Because there was no way it would be possible to extract such a mighty power from one’s body and prolong one’s life.
‘Well then, where should I use this power?’
After succeeding in obtaining the core of the ancient tribe, Garbonya pondered over how to utilize the core in her hand.
The demon king is like a last resort for the ancients who are disillusioned with their lives.
There are many people who yearn for it and want to become the demon king, but there was a reason why none of those who were not of the ancient clan were promoted to demon king.
No matter how much the ancient tribe’s power is obtained, the demons who have lived only a few hundred years or so will not be able to withstand this power and will self-destruct.
In fact, it was the result of conciliating demons who were usually annoying and testing them with their bodies.
All dead
By not being able to withstand the force itself, the body shattered into pieces.
‘I need a bowl.’
A vessel capable of withstanding this power.
If he succeeds in securing only the body, then all he has to do is take possession of the mind and use it.
And it didn’t take long to come up with a suitable candidate for the vessel.
Warrior.
He is the only one who can stand against the demon lord, and that is why he has the potential to surpass even the ancients who have lived for thousands of years.
If he was a hero, he would surely be able to withstand even the strength needed to become a demon lord.
Yes, Garbonya, who thought he could achieve it, immediately approached the warrior of the Tang generation and tried to appease him.
The result is a catastrophic failure.
The hero who had already defeated the demon lord enjoyed his life as a savior and passed away peacefully with the pride of saving the world until the last moment.
That’s what beings are born with a sense of justice.
Since he doesn’t care about ruling the world, it’s absolutely impossible to convince him to become a demon king who will bring ruin to the world.
‘Then I guess I’ll just have to make that noble spirit into rags.’
Yes, they are also only human beings after all.
They grieve when their comrades die, and get angry when people are slaughtered. Garbonya, who has worked with countless humans, knows how to coax humans all too well.
That’s why Garbonya did not aim to approach the hero directly, but to collapse his surroundings.
In order to stimulate the ignorant elves, slave hunters went out of their way to provoke them, secretly teach the old wizard an ancient vision, and instigate a craving for power to self-destruct.
The saintess, who only looked at her warriors, persuaded the high-ranking people of the church and drove them out as witches.
It was very easy to make an assassin from the shadowy country get gang-raped and die, because it was enough to stimulate the desires of the same people from the shadowy place and make them dig a trap.
Besides that, she made everyone around him die miserably.
The moment he saw the despairing warrior soaked in alcohol even after saving the world, Garbonya felt the splendid achievement of completing his plan.
‘Will you accept this power?’
One word.
Just one word of appeasement, secretly so that he has no choice but to accept it while revealing his ulterior motives.
‘I want to create a world without tragedy.’
Did he know how ridiculous that answer sounded to him?
Garbonya, who swallowed such ridicule, spent time watching to see if the broken hero could accept that power.
The result is a great success.
The hero accepted the power so well, and in the end, he was elevated to the same existence as the demon kings who had disturbed the world.
It may take some time for that power to be fully accepted into the body, but it may even grow into an unprecedented demon king…
‘I, the world… I will change it.’
However, despite feeling such great power, Garbonya did not dare to approach him directly.
The reason is simple. Because his desire was so strong.
If you are a non-ancient human. Even more so, it was thought that it would be easy to dig into the mind of a human whose mind and body had collapsed, but rather, the instinct generated as a demon king reached to further encourage his sense of justice.
Even if it deviated from the intention, only that nobility was evident…
There was no way he could afford to dig into the spirit that grew more and more intense like that.
‘Is it a failure again?’
He couldn’t accept the power of the ancient tribe, failed to persuade the officers, and made the warrior into a vessel of the demon king, but he couldn’t aim after that.
A repetition of expectations and failures that have been repeated for hundreds of years. Disillusioned with the process, Garbonya was soon driven by the urge to knock everything out.
He felt irritated and he swung from place to place.
He preys on the humans who have entered the Demon King’s army without even knowing it, and takes control of the Orc group’s mind, biting the neck of the mother who gave birth to him to death…
Yes, that’s why he went to burn the Great Forest with the humans he had pacified.
Just for fun, just to feel the stimulation of watching the world burn.
‘Sah, the person died.’
He met him at that time.
A new hero who just happened to participate in the defense of the great forest to gain experience.
‘Is this what being a hero is?’
She sees the people who died fighting the humans she commanded, and a woman sitting alone in the bloodied scene and despairing.
‘Am I going to keep seeing things like this in the future?’
Compared to the despair her predecessor suffered, it is a tragedy that is not even bloody new feet.
However, with just that, the inexperienced hero who hadn’t grown yet felt sadness and despair.
‘I hate this, I, I… I don’t want to see this…’
A warrior is so weak.
The moment she let out her sobs as she clutched her own head, unable to shake off the ominous imaginations that followed her…
‘… I had a good idea.’
Yes, I can use this, he said.
The spirit of the already completed hero is so noble that it would be impossible to invade it, but if it is in an unstable state like it is now…
If you are a hero who has not yet grown up and has feelings no different from that of an ordinary human, wouldn’t it be possible to break through that spirit and create a gap that you can attack?
‘Everyone, who are you? You too…’
‘Don’t worry, kid. I’m just here to help you.’
Yes, because in the end you have to deal with it.
He was just advancing the timing.
‘I’m just trying to teach you your destiny as a hero and help you prepare for the future.’
At first, it’s just a light hint.
Just to unsettle the mind, to intensify the emotion, and to feel the urge from time to time.
Furthermore, by borrowing the present tragedy, he tried to aggravate the anxiety of the future that he would face in the future.
‘Sir, I hate it. This…’
If you can’t protect the people you want to protect.
If, no matter how hard you try, you can’t prevent the disaster that should be prevented.
If you can’t defeat the demon lord and betray the expectations of many people.
The imagination created in such detail will come as a possibility only inside her.
At least to herself, she couldn’t tell if it was true or false… As a catalyst for future ‘foresight’.
‘No, Dave… Help me…’
In the middle, she heard a name she had heard somewhere, but thought it was okay.
No, isn’t it rather good?
Memorizing someone’s name in a moment of crisis means finding someone to rely on to correct your unstable mind.
‘If the obsession gets worse, I can handle it more severely.’
Although it is difficult if the mind completely collapses.
If you make a mental support that won’t collapse, you’ll be able to withstand even more extreme imagination.
‘Khuhu, yes. Nice very good…’
After putting an end to her with her light suggestion, and sending her back, she just waited for the seed she had planted inside of her to grow.
While pretending to be nothing on the outside and melting away, she nurtures the uneasiness inside herself.
After that, when the appointed time comes, you yourself go into it and plant roots in your mind from the inside out.
So that no one recognizes you, even your own consciousness is deeply asleep so that even those who react sensitively to the power of the demons do not notice…
Only at the moment when the mighty power beyond oneself is revealed from the outside, secretly so that the consciousness is awakened again.
