Chapter 459 – Epilogue
Visor! Kakang!
A sword with restrained splendor and a hideously twisted red sword collide with numerous sword strikes.
“I will definitely finish you here!”
“I’m the one who finishes it!”
A young man wearing armor that must have been very beautiful in the original, even though it was scorched and torn here and there, and a sturdy demon with horns and gray skin burn with murderous intent to kill each other.
Kaaaaang!!
The two people were pushed aside as their powers collided.
The young man took a new stance, and an intense light began to shine on his sword.
“Balster’s attitude? That’s funny. Did you think you’d be scared by such bragging?”
“You’ll know if it’s a bluff or not when you experience it.”
As the light grew stronger, Mine’s face hardened.
“Are you out of your mind? You risk your life to kill me!?”
“If only I could kill you, the bastard who carelessly tramples on our peaceful life!”
From the strong determination in the young man’s eyes, Mine realized her sincerity.
That is a sword attack that shows what Donggwijin is, which consumes the user’s life force to generate several times more magical power to attack.
‘Is this what a hero is?’
Until now, everyone who tried to kill him coveted the wealth and fame that would follow.
But that young man seems to be willing to die together for the world.
After learning why previous demon kings were killed by warriors, the demon took the same aggressive stance.
“Good! Then let’s run away too!”
“Uh… There?”
“!!”
“!?”
At that time, the sudden intrusion of an outsider caused the two people’s gaze to focus on one direction.
“I’m sorry for the serious mood, but now you are ruining my field.”
‘What is it, this man? It’s clearly right in front of my eyes… Are you saying I have no sense?’
‘When did we get here?’
Pure white hair and eyes.
A man with a mysterious aura, white skin, and a soft expression that makes one think he is a scholar rather than a farmer, and a huge physique nearly 2 meters tall, looks out at the field and sighs.
The young man and the demon thought when they saw that.
He is so handsome that even men like him would be impressed.
“Ha. I was very anxious while I was plugging the ‘hole’. But I’m glad it hasn’t been long since the seeds were planted.”
The farmer muttered to himself and cleared the field that the two had dug up.
‘For a moment. Field? Surely we…’
‘A decisive battle was taking place in front of the Demon King’s Castle?’
The two were embarrassed that they were in the middle of an endless field.
If you lose sight even for a moment, you will be fatally injured, so there was no time to disperse elsewhere.
“Hey, farmer. Where am I?”
When Mine opened his mouth to the farmer, he took out two pieces of paper from his arms.
“This will be faster than what I explain.”
The two people who accepted the paper thrown by the farmer were wary of each other and glanced at each other to check the contents of the paper.
-Are you embarrassed by the unfamiliar environment? The world you are currently in is a world called Zelsdad.-
“What?”
“Zelsdad!?”
The paper says that this is a world called Zelsdad.
That they are castaways from another world.
It served as a manual to teach how to live in this world as a drifter.
“Woah, don’t be ridiculous! It’s a different world! Something like dimensional travel doesn’t happen easily!”
“Yes, but because of the special nature of this dimension, it is actually happening.”
Unlike Mine, who denies reality, the young man responded that it doesn’t matter.
“It doesn’t matter what world this is. No, it just gives us more reasons to fight. I will kill you for the peace of this world.”
“Yes. I agree with you this time. This is actually an opportunity! Dominating two worlds is an achievement that no demon lord has ever achieved!”
“Oh. Do you want to keep fighting?”
The farmer stared blankly at the two people who continued to fight even though they were in another world.
“Run from here! You could get caught too!”
“I can’t do that. Since I don’t know anything about this world, I have to quietly develop my strength.”
Mine threw an ominous black blazing flame at the farmer.
“No!”
The young man tried to protect the farmer by jumping into the evil flame magic that burned even his soul.
Puhwaak!
However, the flames died out as quickly as if seawater had been poured in.
“I like these castaways. They tell me who is good and who is evil.”
“You bastard! What have you done!”
That was when the demon, who intuitively thought the farmer was up to something, was about to attack again.
Kwaaang!
The farmer suddenly appeared in front of the demon and threw an uppercut, causing the demon’s body to shoot into the sky.
“..? Huh?”
The young man had a blank look on his face as he saw the demon disappear in an instant.
After a while, the farmer, who had created a round hole in the floor, stretched out his hand and grabbed the horse that was trying to jump out of the hole and into the sky.
“Knock… Knock…!”
“Hey.”
“Kruk…!”
Mine, whose jaw had been destroyed, was dragged by the farmer’s power.
“Also, if you try to kill someone like before, it won’t end with a warning. Nod if you understand.”
“Queuuuuu”
Mine met the farmer’s eyes and nodded desperately, feeling the pressure crushing her spirit.
He let go of her collar and regenerated her missing chin.
“We will help you return to your original world. In the meantime, we will introduce you to a place to stay, so please stay as ‘quietly’ as possible.”
“Who… Are you… Who are you…?”
The young man felt an overwhelming power that even he and the Demon King could not defeat, and looked at the farmer with his fearful eyes.
“I am the king of this country. Please feel free to call me Caicent.”
* * * * * *
“These…”
“What on earth…”
Kaicent guided the new castaways to Isilid.
They could not hide their bewilderment at a city they had never seen before.
In the sky, containers connected like a train follow the wings of a carefree animal like a turtle.
On the ground, a dizzying number of races come and go through the streets, and golem workers and skeleton workers move at a slow but steady pace along private roads.
“Undead!? How can the undead wander around on the streets?”
“How do they float in the sky?”
“The undead are managed by vampires and necromancers who are cooperative with the kingdom. Those things in the sky have technology thanks to the immigration of engineers from a place called the Floating Continent in another dimension. Please look for details later.”
After briefly solving the question, he met the people.
“It’s a good day, God King.”
“God King.”
Everyone who found Kaisent greeted him with a smile, and he accepted each one of them.
“You guys are so reckless. How dare you greet the king like that.”
Haha. That’s because I gave instructions to greet people like that. In the past, the streets would often become paralyzed because people had to kneel or bow politely.”
Kaicent answered Mine’s grumbles.
Mine asked again with a friendly smile that made me wonder if he was the same person who had been threatening me just now.
“But what is the God King?”
“Because he is both the king and god of this kingdom, he is collectively called the God-King.”
“God? Why does God live with humans?”
In response to the young man’s question, Mine nodded her head as if she was thinking the same thing.
“I, like you, come from a castaway background. The problem is that because I became a god in this world, the native gods hated me, so I decided to draw a line and live separately.”
“Tsk tsk tsk. Do gods also hate beings who are different from themselves? They are no different from humans except in terms of strength.”
“The gods of this world are narrow-minded.”
“Well? Wouldn’t it be the same for the gods of the original world who discriminated against us demons?”
“Shut up, Demon Lord! Any further blasphemy is… Big…!”
When the young man tried to exert his strength, he was overcome by Kaicent’s force.
“I don’t care what your values and tendencies are. No matter how good you are, if you cause harm to my territory or my people, I will punish you.”
“But that guy…!”
“You may have done something that warrants resentment. But what kind of chaos would there be if you released the blessings from another world in this world?”
“Ugh…”
The young man, persuaded by Kaycent’s gentle preaching, had to keep his mouth shut.
“This is it. It’s not very luxurious, but it has everything you need, so there won’t be any major inconveniences.”
Kaicent arrived in front of a medium-sized mansion located on the outskirts.
The young man and the demon frowned for different reasons.
“Wait a minute. Why is there only one building?”
“Are you asking me to stay with this guy?”
“Yes. It’s spacious enough for two people, and it’s easier to manage this area if you two stay together. There are drifters who came first, so please be patient for about three weeks.”
Two people glaring at each other and creating an uncomfortable atmosphere.
Kaicent didn’t just stop the two people’s complaints.
“The guide provided in the mansion contains the location of the duel arena where you can fight against powerful forces from other worlds.”
When I heard that there was a duel arena, murder appeared in my eyes.
“However, murder is impossible under any circumstances. With my power, I have made it possible for someone to regenerate even if their head is cut off and their entire body is torn apart.”
He looked openly disappointed when he heard that he couldn’t be killed.
“Please help us resolve the issue, which ends when one of us dies.”
“I agree.”
“I don’t like it.”
“Why!? If you solve the problem there, it won’t harm anyone!”
The young man shouted, but Kaicent again said no in a firm voice.
“I absolutely cannot tolerate murder in my territory. If you really want to fight, go back to your original world and fight.”
Kaicent, who has a strong aversion to murder, warned the two again.
“If you ignore my warning, I will make you in a state where you cannot commit suicide or go crazy, and I will throw you into the deep sea for hundreds of years. If you want to have some fun so that the seniors who went before you don’t get bored, I will accept it at any time.”
“…”
They had no choice but to keep quiet about his warning, as he had experienced the same case as them several times.
“We will provide you with enough food to survive for three weeks for free. However, if you want to spend money, do the work yourself. The guidebook contains information on where to find work, so you can refer to it.”
“Oh… Wait…”
“Please refer to the guide for the rest~”
After telling them to refer to the guidebook for any other inquiries, Kaicent flew into the sky and disappeared somewhere.
“…”
“…”
The uncomfortable coexistence of a warrior and a demon king destined to kill each other has begun.
* * * * * *
According to an agreement made with the native gods of Zel’sdad, sacred power could no longer be used in the territory of the Kingdom of Lucien.
Because Kaicent was young and immature, and was only aware of one kingdom, he could not bestow divine power on the believers.
Therefore, medical development became more important than anything else, and thanks to the kingdom’s national policy, it developed to the point where even diseases such as cancer could be solved with medicine in just 5 years.
“Our Lady. Adding heterogeneous ES-A11 as powder to this mixture increased the recovery effect by 1.3 times.”
“Good job, but ES-A11 has some toxicity. Remove the toxicity and test again.”
“Yes!”
And, it was Tang Seoying who made the greatest contribution to medicine, which had to be started almost from scratch.
Without her presence, who can ingest poisons and medicines and analyze their ingredients, the current development would not have been possible.
Thanks to this, Tang Seol-yeong came to be called the Virgin Mary by medical officials.
In fact, she gave birth to a child and spent five years researching ways to save people, so her gentle grace naturally appeared.
“We will take over from here on out, Holy Mother.”
“You shouldn’t overdo it when you have a baby in your stomach.”
“I’m fine.”
“If even one problem arises with the child, we won’t be able to support it.”
The researchers advised her to rest for the sake of her child, who was due soon.
Researchers who knew how kind she was, how noble and altruistic she was, and how much she loved her children, had no choice but to be desperate.
“Okay, but if you run into any difficulties, please let me know right away.”
“Yes!”
After accepting the persuasion of her researchers, she walked out of her lab, hugging her swollen belly.
“Huh?”
But you can’t see the guard who should be waiting for you outside?
“Seolyeong~”
“Kya~♡”
A surprise back hug from Kaicent who was killing anyone near the door.
The dignified look he had shown to the researchers until just now immediately melted away, and he surrendered himself to the thick, strong arm wrapped around the back of his neck.
“Haaa~ As expected, I have to smell Seolyeong to feel the fulfillment of starting the day.”
“Ahhhhh♡ I’m embarrassed, Sang-Sang♡”
“I’ll take on it just a little longer. Is that okay?”
“Hehe♡ I’m still a kid♡”
Now that she has grown older than herself, Dang Seol-yeong happily accepts her husband’s foolish behavior.
Perhaps because she met a woman at a young age, she never got over her foolish habits.
“I told you to rest comfortably because your fourth child will be born soon.”
“This is comfortable for me. It’s more frustrating to stay still.”
“But if you’re having a hard time, let people know right away, okay?”
“Yes. Don’t worry.”
The two clung to each other and exchanged affection.
Just feeling each other’s body heat makes them happy and joyful, so the smiles of the man and woman never stop even though they are having a meaningless conversation.
Therefore, the guard, who had been keeping his distance after receiving the order, felt guilty about having to make a report that would end this atmosphere.
“That… Our Lady.”
“What’s going on?”
“The Virgin Mary’s brother… Is causing trouble again.”
Kaycent’s face frowned upon receiving the uncomfortable report, and the calm atmosphere suddenly became cold.
