Chapter 245 – Chapter 245. Last War (1)
Yes, everything was an impromptu story.
She gradually felt irritated because she had enjoyed everything she could enjoy as a queen and as an executive, and that endless greed made her even covet the position of the devil.
Of course, it would be easy to become a demon king if you became a member of the ancient family, but the ancient family refers to those who have degenerated into empty beings without pleasure or purpose.
If he becomes a demon king while maintaining such sentiments, it is obvious that he will eventually fall into a tool to destroy the world, just like the natural order that has been repeated so far, and meet a boring end of being decapitated by a hero at the end.
The demons, who should be honest with their desires, lost even that desire and lived emptyly, waiting for a hero to kill them… Is that really possible?
‘Yes, if I become the Demon King, I have to become it right now.’
Rather than degenerating into a tool of the world that only destroys the world as if following the natural order, I want to make the mighty power of the demon king completely my own while maintaining that consciousness and exercising my power.
That’s why Garbonya carried out the operation even with his own life this time.
The plans he had built up based on his aspirations and impulses were set aground one after another, and even those failures proved disappointing, and he thought that if he failed again, he had no reason to live.
“Puh, haha! Didn’t you know that this would really work?”
The attempt of desperation, which was accompanied by the determination to give up everything, was shining at this moment in a form that exceeded one’s expectations.
If someone had even noticed his existence, it might have ended with that.
Even though there was even a risk of his mind being eaten by the hero’s mind, like other heroes who gave up on the attack if the hero’s own inner growth was achieved…
“Really, everyone did a great job. Hurry up and bring this child here…”
The reason why she was able to carry out her dangerous plan smoothly was thanks to the people around her who brought her to the side of her demon king.
After expressing her gratitude to him, Garbonya’s gaze soon turned to the three people who were floundering around her.
“Ahhh. Madoka… !!”
The archmage who is vividly experiencing the despair of being violated by a friend.
“Dad, Dad…”
A long-lived girl who has to live with the pain of her father’s death forever.
“Oh, no. Dave, please… !!”
And the best paladin of mankind, who is being separated from his lover and undergoing unsavory things.
She just robbed the demon lord’s core, and in the process of accepting the power, she couldn’t withstand the power that was emitted, and her mind began to collapse.
“Whoops, this is really… Everyone is falling into the land of dreams ahead of people. Aren’t they all too much?”
Of course, she wasn’t the result she intended.
Digging into their minds is just an additional effect that occurs when the nuclear energy is absorbed and the amplified power spreads to the surroundings, eroding the mind at will.
But it’s enough to make you have nightmares.
Nightmares are based on your own fears and insecurities, and if you encourage them a little, even if you don’t control them, you’ll imagine them on your own and grow the scale.
‘Of course, it’s more effective if you sprinkle a little more spice on it.’
If he dared to say it was his own intention, it was just that he temporarily erased ‘all memories’ except for the nightmares he had created.
Even if it is possible to overcome the fear and awaken from the nightmare.
If you blow away all the memories of gaining that confidence, in that empty place, all you can do is be weak, imagining a fearful future and trembling.
“Pughh, that’s good. Good. I don’t feel like I’m being swayed at all even when I exert my strength like this.”
But more than anything else, the best thing about this moment was that manipulating his memory so that he could not wake up from the nightmare was a result of his own will.
That’s because the hero’s spirit, which should be suppressed by the demon king, is restrained and put to sleep.
Since it is not infiltrating from the outside, but has already been taken over from the inside, even the demon king’s instinct must not be able to completely make the inside his own.
“To be able to use the demon lord’s power while remaining conscious is truly the best!! Fuhahahahaha!!”
The moment when the inflammation of life that has been felt all along is completely relieved.
Beyond that, she, who had impulsively fulfilled her own desires, came to anticipate what would happen to her in the future.
In addition to the power of the demon king, even the body of the hero.
It was as if he had literally got everything in this world and had the opportunity to move it all according to his will.
“But there is one thing I regret…”
Feeling elevated to such an omnipotent and absolute existence, Garbonya couldn’t help but feel quite displeased when he saw what was happening in front of him.
A man struggling to get himself up among a party of fallen warriors.
“Right now.”
Dave.
He was a member of the Anti-Human Alliance, which he joined for fun after failing to rule the demon king.
Even Garbonya, who couldn’t easily remember someone’s name, remembered the face of the person in front of her.
Because he always stressed responsibility and work to himself, bothering him, and even the slightest attempt to dazzle him repeatedly resisted with the blood flowing in his body.
“Right now… Get away from Celica.”
Of course, he had no intention of digging into the organization itself that much until he began to coax the hero in earnest.
Just because he resisted that level of power, it was impossible to approach him with a sense of crisis right now.
Yes, it must be so, but…
“Come to think of it, our secretary wasn’t prone to light dazzling. Was it because you inherited the blood of a witch?”
But something, this now.
Even the archmage, the long-lived girl who lived for 100 years, and even the paladin, who was the most wary and annoying to dominate the hero, fell down. How is that guy able to stand up against his own power?
Even if the demon king’s power had not yet been absorbed, the power would have been amplified rather than the original one. Could it be that he had some kind of change while he was asleep?
“Well, at least you’re a kid after all.”
But whatever it is, even at this moment, his own power that absorbed his core is getting stronger.
Just as she was about to exert her magic power and try to suppress his mind, Dave yelled out in front of her, raising a finger in front of her.
“Now, stop…”
While ignoring the blood spewing from his eyes and mouth in the aftermath of his resistance.
“This is an order!! Stop what you’re trying to do right now and get away from Celica!!”
A child of a witch who snaps her fingers and tries to take control of her mind by using the power of the demons remaining in her.
If that’s the case, in the end, it’ll fall short of the real demons.
Not to mention that she, the queen of dream demons, had no such power working on her, although she must have felt it the last time she met her.
– Chiiing!!
At that moment, a sharp sensation rushed through her head.
Garbonnaga, who felt that the power had stopped absorbing her core, glared at Dave, who spread her power toward her.
“You, what is that power… Why…”
It is not an illusion.
At this moment, the power he exerted while pouring blood from his hole was affecting himself at this moment.
The moment I lose my guard, I let go of the Demon Lord’s core from this hand.
To the point where he might become a slave who will listen to what he tells him to do.
‘It’s not a force to belittle. But how… ?’
Isn’t it strange?
Even if the people who gave blood to the witches are called the Ancient Clan, they are not so special compared to the normal demons.
But why does such power exist in him?
No, it’s not just about being strong.
The fundamental reason why the power handled by the person in front of me affects you.
‘Why, the nuclear power held in this hand, the same kind of power…’
Parta.
He is a man who was called the King of Dreams before him. And he is the existence that gave him the core of an ancient tribe where the power necessary to become a demon king lies dormant.
Demons who had their cores deprived would lose their lives as soon as the remaining magic power in their bodies ran out, and he gave the cores to himself even taking that into account.
He doesn’t even show interest in what he intends to achieve through that core, just paying attention to simple concerns about how to spend the rest of his life…
“Puh, haha… Haha!!”
Yes, something with the same quality as the power of such a boring man was felt by that boy who was trying to resist himself at this moment.
It is also very clear, unlike before. As if he had encountered an opportunity to realize the potential hidden in that blood while he was unconscious.
“Parta… Could it be that you had a relationship with a human? You who rejected all the dream demons’ proposals and stayed in your room!?”
Of course, since he was born without a nucleus, he would not have inherited magical powers, but half of the bowls belonged to the king of the dream demons.
Just as a seed needs water to grow, if you accept the power of the same nature, you will be able to awaken your potential as an ancient tribe.
If that power blooms, it will be possible to grow into an existence that surpasses ordinary demons.
No, maybe even to a level that surpasses herself as the queen of dreams.
“It’s a really funny situation. It was he who prepared the opportunity, but the one who interfered at the last moment was the son of that damn old woman… !”
It was a life that had been left to impulse all along, but only at this moment.
The Queen of Dreams had no choice but to affirm that it was ‘destiny’ that is commonly referred to in the world.
There is only one step left until the moment he becomes the Demon King, but the one who gets in the way of that step is the only one in this world who can stand against him.
“Nice… Ugh!!”
But what was it?
Even if he inherited his blood from a person who had the nucleus to create the demon king, he was just a kid among kids who had only lived for 2 or 30 years after all.
Even with that amount of time, he would not be able to surpass himself, who had lived and accumulated strength for hundreds of years.
“Ka, haha!!”
“Ahahahahaha!! Look at the bloody discharge!! My secretary, you might die like this?”
Garbonya, who suppressed his mind from being eroded and displayed his strength, began to squeeze the power of the core he held in his hand and increase the power emitted.
The moment when his head, which was trying to control his mind, gets messed up in reverse.
Just by resisting him, his blood vessels, which were swayed by the sensation of being pierced and crushed, burst, and his eyes began to turn red.
Red, more red than ever.
With eyes that are no different from the one who has already accepted the power of the ancients and is preparing to become a demon king…
“You really have nice eyes. Our secretary~♥”
“To rely so much on dad’s strength with such a weak body that you’ll defeat me… If this goes on like this, you might really give up being human, right?”
“Heo-eok, cool-luck…!!”
Dave doesn’t even have time to answer, and he just throws his strength and tries to take control of himself.
Garbonna also tried to relax, but he is still in the same state that he might be eaten if he is not careful.
Because the opponent is none other than Parta’s child.
In the present, when even that quality has begun to be awakened, everything that has been built up all along may collapse if you try to relax as you have done so far.
“Kuhuhu, yes. It’s the moment when the one and only demon king is born, so it’s no fun if it’s so easy~”
Therefore, this side must also resist this moment with all it can.
Own strength and spirit.
-Koo Goong, Kung.
Troops too, if needed.
“Uh, what…”
“Come to think of it, I talked to my men. If the demon lord starts moving, it will be the day the hero will deal with the demon lord, so gather all you can and bring them.”
A strong vibration felt from the ground. And I can feel the dark magic power.
While Dave, surprised by the energy he felt during the struggle, shrank back, Garbonya, who was sweating coldly, explained to him with a fishy smile.
“This is the place where a new demon king of great color ascends, and of course the coronation ceremony should be held in a grand manner in the demon king army. Do you think so too?”
Yes, it’s coming soon.
Even in the midst of confusion over the advance and death of the Demon King.
The army of demons, selected from the elite of the elite, who can demonstrate the courage to approach this dangerous and unknown place.
