Chapter 253 – 253. Discussion With the Demon King (3)
=======================
It was hiding its identity with camouflage magic that looked and felt like a dry desert area, but
The huge forest that houses the sanctuary was an evergreen forest that grew through the divine vitality of the World Tree. Except for the central area where the World Tree is located, most of the outer areas of the sanctuary had evergreen forests.
An evergreen tree with drooping green leaves,
Beneath the great shade of a tall tree stood a woman with her red hair hanging down to her waist, frowning with an expression of uneasiness.
“I have already severed all ties with the beast of lust. It is true that mutual interests coincided and became a hierarchical relationship, but to me now, Grid is just an enemy worthy of being cursed.”
Dark hatred flowed from the demon king’s glassy eyes.
Like her flames that burned fiercely,
Through the glass eyes, I could see the flames burning with hatred.
“What happened?”
Yushin asked.
Savnak replied while brooding over his hatred.
“All my men are dead. Not a single one is missing.”
Forces that had followed her since her distant past, when Savnak made her Liberia peninsula her demon lord’s domain.
Yushin has seen them before.
It was definitely when the war broke out between the elves and the Demon King’s army in the Liberia Peninsula.
The servants who follow the demon king of the heat waves. He still remembered how a group of demons worshiped Savnak and stood by him. That’s why I was quite shocked by the news that they all met a terrible end to Grid.
“Why? I mean, I don’t understand…. You must have fought me in cooperation with the vampires who allied with Greed.”
To Yushin, Savnak was an existence that could never be favored.
Acknowledging that she is her proud swordsman,
Common sense made it impossible for her to have goodwill towards her, who held her hand with the vampires who caused an unprecedented disaster that devastated the kingdom of Valois.
“To him, me and my men were nothing more than ants that crawl on the ground. It must have been nothing more than a microbe that could be stepped on at any time.”
Savnak grinded his teeth.
The sorrow of losing subordinates who were considered like blood,
Resentment toward himself for not being able to do anything even after seeing his men slaughtered by Grid.
Savnak, who had raging emotions, lost his composure and was in a very unstable state to the point of revealing unorganized killing intentions. It was a broken figure unlike the demon king of the heatwave, who had only shown a straight appearance like a sharpened blade.
‘Did I suffer a painful defeat and shame from the elves, and besides, I was betrayed and ridiculed by the beast of lust? I never thought that the demon king of the heatwave would fall into ruin this far…. It seems like yesterday when we risked our lives and fought fiercely.’
Savnakh was in complete downfall with the loss of all his forces and men.
Compared to the other demon lords who possess huge territories and numerous subordinates, it was nothing but an empty bowl.
I felt sorry for her.
Of course, I didn’t want to sympathize with her personally or comfort her situation, but she felt sorry for her because she was once her nemesis with whom she fought her sword.
“Then why did you ask me about the heat wave magic core? It would be faster to kill me and try to get back the stolen magic core.”
“You must not die.”
Savnak replied to Yushin’s words. He shook his head with a serious expression on his face.
“I need your presence to get revenge on him in the same way. If you die, I will forever lose any way to get revenge on him. Or you have to go back a long way. So I can’t kill you Rather, it is the position you need.”
“… I don’t know English at all. From your point of view, I am the world’s killer. He stole half of the magic core and even destroyed the immortal favor he received from the demon god. There are plenty of reasons to kill me just from what you just said.”
Seeing Yushin shrug his shoulders and speak provocatively, Savnak sighed and nodded his head.
It showed an attitude of acknowledging that Yushin’s words had some truth.
“Yes, you are right. I’ve been thinking that I’d like to tear your body into very small pieces and then throw it away for pigs. And his head was stuffed as an ornament to hang on the mantelpiece.”
I never wanted to hear such an explicit explanation.
Yushin lamented that he had brought up useless words at Sabnak’s actions, which were explained in such detail that the listeners were stunned.
“My hatred and resentment towards you is my own, but hatred and resentment towards Greed is to soothe the souls and spirits of my subordinates who were brutally murdered. I will endure anything as long as I can achieve my revenge against the grid and soothe the resentment of my subordinates.”
Savnak spoke candidly about his vengeance priority.
If it’s for the revenge of the subordinates,
I can humble my personal revenge.
She couldn’t understand her feelings because she was a Yushin who had never been preoccupied with her vengeful spirit, but in the form of Savnak, who prioritized the revenge of her men until she put aside her revenge against herself, she felt an indescribable emotion.
“So how are you going to get revenge? Is there any chance of winning against the oligarchs, who were subject to restrictions and interference from the gods because they had powers and powers enough to sink the continent into the sea at once? I don’t want to talk about that possibility. The answer has already been decided.”
Yushin moved his two legs and turned half a turn around Savnak.
With each step she made a clatter as she stepped on the grass. Savnak, who listened to the sound while standing still, opened his mouth and answered his words.
“It is true that I am vengeful, but I am not blind. I also know very well. In the eyes of the pledgers, I would be nothing more than a small creature crawling on the ground. Defeating the grid with my own power would be impossible even if I trained for tens of thousands of years.”
Savnak knew that no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to defeat the Oathbreaker.
He had no choice but to declare the impossible.
Anyone who has seen the strength of the monsters in the orbit of the oath with their own eyes will declare, “I will never dare to look down on the monsters that have been interfered with by force from God.”
So Savnak was thinking of erasing all of Grid’s most precious puppets from the world, just as Grid had killed all of his subordinates.
“Vortigan is just the beginning. I will find all the puppets he cherishes and destroy them with my own hands.”
The treasures Grid treasured more than any other goods were ‘puppet’.
It was Yushin who briefly felt doubts about the puppets mentioned by Savnak, but thought of Vortigan, who was one of the puppets, and interpreted it to the extent that Vortigan cared for him.
“That puppet… , Are they like Vortigan, with a vicious notoriety? I thought he was dead, but he was actually alive. Or the dead that Grid brought back to life.”
Vortigan was not only killed by the swordsman, but also a dead man in history whose records were erased by neighboring countries who feared his terrifying notoriety.
Why could he be resurrected?
I thought it must have something to do with the grid.
Vortigan, who has an insolent and arrogant personality, cannot follow Grid unless there is some reason. So Yushin assumed that it was Grid who brought Vortigan back to life from the swamp of death. Subnak nodded at Yushin’s words to see how accurate his guess was.
“The dead who have been resurrected from the dead are the things Grid cherishes more than any other treasure. There is no concept of subordinates to him. It’s just something you can own.”
“That’s why Grid intends to take revenge by killing all the dead he cherishes the most.”
“For now, it’s just the primary purpose.”
Savnak knew he could never beat Grid.
So she
I decided to trample on everything the beast of lust had.
All the greed in this world gathers and takes away possession from the grid. Like the sea that never dries up, Grid’s greed, which has no way to know its end, was denied and tried to trample on it.
“This is the end of all my questions and answers. All that remains is your answer.”
“My answer?”
“That is the question I posed to you.”
“Ah.”
I forgot about it for a moment because I listened so intently to the story of Savnak, who dreams of revenge on the pledgee who reached the realm of the demigod.
The questions Savnak asked.
It was clearly a question related to the authority of the heat wave.
But I couldn’t elaborate on the question. It is because the fact that he was born as a new demon core by overlaying the thunderbolt of Carus on the demon core of the heat wave, and that he became a new demon king by completing the power and authority of the demon king were also things that he instinctively accomplished.
“For what reason did you raise your hand… , Let’s listen directly to Heat Wave.”
Savnak moved his steps.
I closed the distance of 1 meter and came closer.
A small ember rose from her fingertips.
It was a small, thin ember that looked like a candle that would go out as soon as it was blown on.
Savnak’s index finger, tinged with embers, pointed to her Yushin’s chest. In response, Yushin moved her arm and grabbed Savnak’s hand, which was heading towards him. In an instant, the situation unfolded on the fly as his hand wrapped around her thunderbolt caught the hand holding the ember.
“… It’s very borderline.”
“Just because you listened to me for a moment, there’s no way that the tangled feelings can be resolved.”
“I agree.”
Yushin and Savnak’s gaze collided in the air, continuing a brief confrontation.
Fire and lightning mingled.
Fire and lightning collided against each other, releasing dizzying flashes like loud fireworks.
“It is to directly ask the power of the heat wave within you. Apparently, that thing inside of you also wants to make contact with me.”
Savnak, who glanced at Yushin’s right chest where her heart was located, opened her mouth.
From the moment we met in the sanctuary,
The demon core embraced by Savnak and the demon core possessed by Yushin resonated as if they were announcing each other’s existence after recognizing each other’s existence.
And at the moment when the fire and lightning collided with each other, the demonic core of the heatwave that split into two radiated power all at once and began to densely fill the surroundings like weaving a spider’s web.
“The magic core of the heat wave. I will listen directly to you.”
Like preparing for a stage,
The curtain surrounding Yushin and Savnak moved as it fluttered.
Witnessing the bizarre phenomenon, Yoo-shin felt an unfamiliar familiarity. A feeling of déjà vu, as if she had experienced it somewhere, enveloped her whole body.
Yusin, who kept trying to recall it, recalled what she had experienced in her fantasy world where she encountered a woman in the form of Savnak, who identified herself as the demon core of the heat wave.
