Chapter 1637 – Together
This guy. Isn’t this the first time you’ve called my name?
Adele is not my real name, though.
She was a little surprised.
“Eggplant.”
Smirking, he walked into the hole without me even having to call him.
I shrugged my shoulders, looked to the side, and smiled only at the corners of my mouth.
Because Siegzer was looking at me with his eyes wide open.
“Who, who…”
“Hello, Mr. Sir.”
I took off my disguise.
Then he recognized my face as he had before.
“Wow…!”
“Now, Mr. Caesar. From now on, listen carefully to what I say.”
“…!!”
Sigger got up from the bed and sat down on his knees, looking anxious.
“Did I do something wrong…?!?!”
“No, no. On the contrary, you will do great things from now on.”
“…! No way. You want to make me an example?!?!”
“…”
No. Why do you do this to someone you meet for the first time?
What did I do to you that made you so scared…
“I am on a very secret mission. If you cooperate with this mission, I am willing to provide support to you, Sir.”
Siege blinked his eyes a couple of times and then-! My posture, which was otherwise stiff, became even more rigid.
“Just say the word!!”
***
A needlessly large room with only one PC screen lit in the middle of the dark as ink.
The Demon King of Battle standing in front of the PC stared at something.
“Hot.”
The Demon King of Battle naturally snorted.
It was because of the things spread out in front of her.
At that time. I heard footsteps behind me.
The Demon King of Battle said in an excited voice.
“It’s as you said. Adele.”
“Oh?”
Dre, who was called Adele, stood in front of the Demon King of Battle in amazement. She saw something resembling a corpse lying on the floor like a rag.
Okay. It resembles a corpse.
First off, don’t breathe. I couldn’t feel any life reaction.
But. Still, it is not a corpse.
There was no life reaction, but paradoxically, it was a living thing.
The appearance was bizarre.
The skin was pale but not corrupted. However, the body was covered with something terrible, as if to claim that it was a phenomenon that occurred instead of corruption.
In some ways, it looked like a barnacle, but if you look closely, it was a mechanical device.
“Is this him?”
“Yes. A story scientist who escaped from our organization.”
A former ranker who used the ability of fog and was nicknamed the Tale Scientist.
Why is she in such a miserable state?
“Where, where.”
Dre passed by the Battle Demon and manipulated her PC.
The PC was full of complex data that seemed to be the result of some kind of research, and Dre found a journal among them.
“That. Isn’t it a foreigner’s item? You use it well, Adele.”
“Because I am so excellent.”
Dre glances. The Demon King of Battle poofs. I saw the tip of the spear swinging.
The Demon King of Battle looks at Dre’s back, his body slightly relaxing due to tension. I let out a small laugh.
“What does it say?”
“Let’s see… Day 1. Those damn scum dared to trick me and bring me two SR tales to vent their anger on. A cold space moon and a wish-granting mechanical device. I discovered some possibilities.”
Dre read the text leisurely.
[Stories so powerful that even the source of death could not be controlled.
However, I, who have a special brain, think differently from ordinary people.
Is there really a need to control it?
Is it not possible to exert that power to its full potential and gain at least a portion of that power?
I saw the light of that possibility.
Through long-term research, I knew that although fusion of tales was impossible, it was possible to place one tale under the rules of another tale.
There is a time limit to that control, but even in that limited time, you will be able to gain unimaginable and enormous power.
But. This work must be done secretly.
As soon as I release these powerful forces, not only the scum who deceived me, but also the arrogant juniors who are heroes and all will be looking for me.
Day 2.
Heaven is helping me.
A tale that could control the two SR tales was quickly found.
I’m a little concerned that the location is a famous land closest to the Demon World and the Human Continent, but if we proceed secretly without being detected, everything will work out.
Day 3.
Tale. I succeeded in obtaining the sacred statue.
The story was as I expected.
The ability was as I expected.
The sacred statue grants wishes, but resets every day, effectively making the wish free.
But it doesn’t matter.
What I want is the power to control SR-class tales.
These two tales have the property of coloring the surroundings with machine and cold if left alone, and as a result of a previous experiment, I found that the preparation period for the contagion takes one day.
During the preparation period, I greatly recharge my divine power, which is the energy needed to demonstrate my abilities, and I created a device to store a small amount of this divine power somewhere else.
And if you reset the two tales before they can properly exert their power, the two tales will not be able to use their power. It was confirmed that the energy stored separately was properly retained.
Perfect. Very perfect.
If you repeat this process, one day you will be able to possess unimaginably powerful divine powers.
However, I have no intention of being satisfied with strength alone.
I discovered another possibility in the system created by these three tales.
That’s right. It’s about creating a new world.
The result of verifying the data on the tales accumulated so far. It was concluded that the world could be expanded endlessly by using the self-proliferating characteristics of the two tales.
Distant antiquity. Like the white world created by the first Prunard and Waikatsu, a new world can be created.
These tales are not about the other world, which is the lower dimension, but the existence of Elunar, the highest dimension.
Dimensional will probably impose no restrictions.
By calculation. It is quite possible.
Yes.
I will become the god of the new world.
Day 4.
The two tales are more powerful than you can imagine.
Who would have thought that it would be difficult to handle just one sacred statue.
I have no choice but to bear the burden of the sacred statue with my own body.
And I prayed to the wish-granting mechanical device to cooperate with me.
It’s okay.
According to the calculation, if I reset it within a day, there won’t be any major problems for me.
Day 5.
Strength in your body. It is full.
By the way.
Why was I writing this?
Who am I? ]
“It ends here.”
The moment Dre finished speaking, the Demon King of Battle chuckled. Laughed evilly.
“A two-headed bastard. Did he indulge in power beyond his means, miscalculate and die?”
By combining the characteristics of the tales well, he attempted to gain endless power and create a new world.
The ambition was good, though. It was a force he could not handle.
“It seems that the growth speed of the mechanical device and the cold moon was much faster than this woman expected.”
I thought it would be okay if I reset it within a day, but the speed of evolution of the two tales exceeded my calculations.
At the end of his speech, Dre turned his back on being a narrative scientist.
Then the Demon King of Battle summoned Dre.
“Hey.”
“Why?”
“If I destroy this, will it end?”
In those words. There was a hidden meaning.
This thing in front of you is not just a corpse.
This is the third divine power. It feels like a piece of a ‘sacred statue’.
Judging from the record that they agreed to share the burden. The story scientist must have fused with the statue.
In other words. What maintains this world is this corpse.
Dre slightly turned his head and glanced at the Demon King of Battle.
The Demon King of Battle was slightly nervous.
If this world disappears by destroying this story scientist.
This strange alliance will also come to an end.
In other words…
The moment she was about to think about what happened, Dre opened her mouth.
“No. It doesn’t end.”
“?”
“Don’t look this way. Be careful about that.”
While wondering what Dre was saying, the Demon King of Battle looked ahead and blinked. I stopped.
Crackling. Cracking.
A being that resembles a lying corpse.
He was standing up slowly, twisting his whole body and making his bones crackle.
Shuak-! Pow!!
The spear flew, but the fog that covered the body of the snow scientist caught it like a soft cushion.
“Aha.”
A warlike smile formed on her mouth.
“Yes. Yes. If you think about it, this fog guy’s alter ego also appeared along with the two tales, right?”
The sacred statue does not have the power of fog.
This fog is a perk of the story scientist.
Old ranker. Although the story scientist is dead.
A new creature was born using the corpse as a nest.
“The sacred statue of the fog world. Let’s call it that.”
“You have surprisingly good naming sense.”
Dre said and trudged on her way.
The Demon King of Battle shouted in bewilderment.
“Where are you going? Adele.”
“Just to run errands.”
“Hot. Do…”
Are you running away? Before saying that.
Dre turned around and looked into her eyes.
When the Demon King of Battle is silent and unable to say anything. He opened his mouth.
“You can handle that much on your own, right?”
“…”
“See you later.”
Dre walked away, and she was truly blown away.
Meanwhile, the fog is rolling in. Before she knew it, she had taken over her room and was trying to use physical force to suppress the Demon King of Battle.
Fuuuuu-!!
The power of battle is activated. The body, adapted to confinement and pressure, dissipates the fog.
Then the fog billows like fire this time, burning the body of the Demon King of Battle azure.
In the sky blue flames, the corners of the Battle Demon Lord’s mouth turned up.
“Insolent bastard…”
It’s really strange.
As if you dare to look down on yourself. They looked down on me as if I couldn’t even do this.
[You can handle it on your own, right?]
Why does that statement make me angry?
Why do I feel excited?
In the words of a guy who told me to do something in his spare time as if he were a subordinate and then went off to do something else.
“Well, there is a separate main dish.”
The main dish is Adele.
The being in front of you is a sacred statue, probably an S-class story.
There’s a folktale researcher there. The old nickname was the ‘all-purpose alchemist’, a difficult being who could literally embody everything through fog, and even fused it.
Even looking at that powerful being. The Battle Demon King truly thought that he was nothing compared to Adele.
“Okay, let’s do it.”
After defeating this teaser, it’s a fight with Adele.
The spear of the Demon King of Battle was swung with a warlike smile on his lips.
Jooooo!
Approximately 1 hour and 23 minutes.
“Tsk.”
The Battle Demon King felt strangely annoyed because it took longer than expected.
For her, who loves and enjoys fighting, the a more strong enemy struggles, the better it should be.
‘Why?’
No way, me. Are you feeling like you haven’t lived up to that child’s expectations?
Tsk at this ridiculous thought. As she clicked her tongue and came out of the hole, Dre was sitting on the bed, shaking her glass cup and rolling the surrounding ice.
“Oh. Thank you for your hard work.”
Dre holds out a cup of ice.
The Demon King of Battle looked down at it and said.
“Drink?”
“No poison.”
“…”
Should I drink it?
Now that the origin of this world has been eliminated. This?
Why?
I have to fight this guy soon, right?
“Hmph.”
The Demon King of Battle snorted.
How about poison?
Doesn’t the fact that he used such means that this guy was scared of him?
Even if it is a powerful poison that goes beyond the adaptation of this battle power. It would be a thrill to overcome even that and win.
The Demon King of Battle took the ice-cold glass and drank it in one gulp, and soon her face grimaced.
“Ugh… It’s all sweet.”
I thought it was water, but it turned out to be a clear drink.
“Why is this a reaction to drinking something bitter?”
Dre seemed dumbfounded and gulped down her ice water. The devil of battle is kkeuch. He groaned and continued drinking, then said, “Oh?” He suddenly drank well.
“Sigh. Let’s go outside.”
“Hoo.”
Is it finally time to fight Adele?
The Demon King of Battle gleefully grabbed his spear.
Long time. I feel a pleasant tension.
‘Is it after that person?’
That great powerhouse. Ever since Yuna. This is my first time feeling this kind of tension.
But why?
Maybe it’s because of my mood, but my steps out of the house are heavy.
And when he went out of the house. The Demon King of Battle felt uncomfortable.
“What? This world. It’s still maintained, right?”
The sacred statue, the source of sustaining this world, would have been destroyed.
But why?
The Battle Demon’s eyes widened, and he realized something.
“… Ah.”
“You’re smart.”
Dre praised.
Okay. The Demon King of Battle found the answer on his own.
It is true that the origin of this world is a sacred statue, but that story is not the only thing involved in this world.
In the first place, this world was created to control the two SR tales.
Then. Now that the story that became the subject has disappeared.
What happens to the two SR tales?
“What’s going on?”
“I don’t know. What will happen.”
A twist occurred in the story researcher’s half-gambling plan.
It was a plan that was chaotic from the beginning. It wasn’t strange no matter what happened.
“But. We know what we’re going to do.”
“What is it?”
“I’m fighting.”
“Ah… Now? By ourselves?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Uh? Ah. But. SR folktales are alive, so we should deal with them first. For some reason, there was no life reaction around me. Adele, you guy. “You prepared it in advance?”
“What happened to the life reaction?”
Dre said as if he was dumbfounded, and the Demon King of Battle tilted his head.
“Didn’t you kill everyone in the village to fight Seolhwa?”
There was not a single life reaction felt in this village right now.
Because if you kill villagers, stories appear. Didn’t they kill them all?
There is a way to interfere with the fog curtain, but since you killed the fog guy, there was a high possibility that the fog curtain would have disappeared as well.
“I thought it was you. I evacuated you.”
He contacted the representatives through Caesar, and later moved himself to have the villagers waiting in front of the wall, and the moment the Demon King of Battle was victorious, he sent the villagers outside.
“Send it out?”
“Yes. Since the source died, the fog curtain disappeared. It seemed like there was no more world reset.”
The string of divine power that was connected to the residents also disappeared.
Dre could enter this world right now if he wanted to.
“So you could have gone out, but you came back and pretended to have some spare time and handed me a cup of ice?”
“That’s right.”
“Why?”
Probably him too. He must be feeling the battle between himself and the Demon King of Battle approaching.
Adele is probably wary of herself.
Wouldn’t it have been wiser to leave her in the middle of her fight and go out and call for reinforcements?
No. A dragon that was able to interfere with the fog in the first place. Maybe even if the fog screen was still intact, we would have been able to get out somehow.
‘Why did you stay alone and wait for me?’
Adele’s identity.
If that’s really what the Demon King of Battle is thinking about.
There will be reliable colleagues.
Moreover, from his perspective, the enemy is not only himself.
“Shouldn’t we catch Snow Flower too?”
If those two tales escape from this world and appear in reality, it would be an understatement to say that it would be a disaster.
It is not a tale that not even Hardesh could control for no reason.
“Why?”
Dre laughed.
That smile was thought to resemble someone else.
Warlike, interested look.
“Do you think I would give up something fun to someone else?”
“…”
The Demon King of Battle was stunned for a moment.
Therefore. This guy now.
“Did you want to fight with SR Seolhwa?”
“It seems like it would be fun to attack. First, it’s been a while since I’ve had a large-scale attack like this.”
What a grand strategy. What is that?
“… Well, I agree that it looks like fun. But where are the two tales in the first place?”
That moment.
The sun appeared in the sky.
That in itself is not strange. Because the sun is bound to rise at any time.
However.
The moon coexisted.
“What…”
“That’s it.”
Dre holds up his finger. Pointed to the sun and moon.
“What?”
“That’s it. SR folklore. A mechanical device that grants wishes to the sun. The moon is, of course, the cold moon of space.”
Dre grinned again at the end of his sentence.
Ah. Now I understand.
This laugh.
It resembles yourself.
“Have you ever fought a planet?”
In that happy voice. The Demon King of Battle laughed, shivering involuntarily.
“What is that?”
This guy.
It’s awesome.
