"Stop me... you say?

The demon king smiled.

If I tried to be the Demon King, I would know what the human spirit was about, and I couldn't stop trembling as a setuna.

It's obvious folly.

I know you don't even have to think about it.

Setuna has no means of confrontation. This is the demonic realm and the most powerful weapon, the Black Spear, cannot be summoned. In the first place, it's ridiculous because the Demon King is the body of the chaos bringer, and he wants to turn it around on the enemy.

As long as you can poke a gap and use armed summons, you will gain some means of combat, but whether you can summon enough to fight a million demon kings of the world and their families against you is a bet. Assuming such a substitute can be invoked, the winning eye is thin if we have to deal with the power of war in this demonic realm.

No, you can call it nothing.

Setuna's spine freezing was also an inexorable story.

But still, Setuna couldn't leave here.

The Demon King is trying to destroy the Holy King for every Illus Valle. It is understandable that that is not just a grand language magnificent or something, because it is Setuna who knows the power of the Demon King through herself. The wand of the Demon King is so abhorrent that it tries to erase its protectors. If the Demon King had shown his true worth, he would be able to destroy one or two of the worlds easily.

This means that Iles Valle was once again exposed to a peril.

A major invasion operation by an army led by the Demon King will probably succeed. The defeat of the Holy Emperor Miendia may also succeed. But as a result, if Illus Valle is to perish, what's the point?

If Iles Valle perishes, the Phalia will not be able to live either.

Then the meaning that Setuna has fought so far will be lost.

The very significance of Setuna's existence disappears.

So, I guess.

A fire lit my heart sinking into Setuna's despair.

That's just a little fire. Too fine and weak to illuminate and burn down the darkness of despair. But it was also true that the little fire melted, patrolled and moved the body of Setuna's blood, which had been frozen. My body is hot. Looks like it burns.

It's burning, even though it doesn't change the desperate situation.

Then, the six bellies moved in unison.

Until then, Fu's relatives besieged Setuna in an instant.

"Have you lost your blood, Setsuna"

"Oh, no more"

"Am I stupid..."

"Stupid."

"Not bad for me."

"I thought you were a little smarter."

In other words, each of the ventriloquists reacted similarly and differently. Lance of Designer peeked at her anger, Mail of Dotor looked troubled, Rod of Envy looked fed up, and Mask of Disper looked exhausted. While Axe of Ambition seemed somewhere delightful, Edge of Thurst had the expression that he couldn't hide his disappointment.

"He bought me a lot of money."

Setuna told him against Edge of Thurst.

"I'm such a big idiot there's nothing I can do."

"... I'm so sorry."

When Edge of Thurst tried to take out his gains in cold blood, the Demon King took control of his family.

"Well, wait."

"Your Majesty...... but"

"Wait, etc."

"... Ha"

You were struck by the power of the Demon King not to allow objections, or your bellies, starting with Edge of Thurst, distanced themselves from Setuna.

"It's Setuna. Are you mistaken about something?

The Demon King, not to mock, not to sarcastically, went pale, to state the facts.

"Mistake......?

"You despaired. I was desperate. You no longer have a chance, and you have no future. It is a rule to fall into the dark abyss of despair as it is. That's what you are. It's your destiny."

The demon king's deep red eyes look to Setuna. Red and black as blood, bright red eyes as purgatory flames. Deep down, infinite darkness peeks. A long night of ignorance that lasts far and away beyond. A darkness of despair that never dawns stares at Setuna from the depths of the Demon King's eyes.

"You can no longer do anything. You're not worth anything."

The Demon King tells.

"Illus Valle is. What happened to those who found hope in you and entrusted you with the future? By his power, not everyone is desperate for you, hating you, and hostile to you, though, right? There's no place for you in that world, nothing for you. Nobody needs you. Why are you stopping me? Stop me. What are you gonna do? What does that mean for you? We stopped our invasion of Iles Vallées, and the situation is no different. No one thanks you. Nobody knows about your fight."

Setuna was relieved, rather, to hear the cursed words of the Demon King.

Because that's what I knew.

It is a reality, a fact and a truth that had already been poked at by the Mayura God.

The reality is that the Phariahs are turning to their enemies by their will and taking sides with the Holy Emperor.

The desperate truth that Setuna's voice can no longer be reached and that, for their well-being, their presence is what is unnecessary.

And now the result of turning away from that fact, blocking my ears, and pretending not to see, is that I don't know. The truth is, in the depths of my heart, I was incredibly desperate and corrupt.

So here I am.

The Demon King felt Setuna's despair and forcibly took her away to the demonic realm.

Because that's the contract.

Setuna's contract with Black Spear Chaos Blinger.

At the dawn of despair, the promise to give up both body and mind.

Therefore, Setuna is here.

If we are to obey the covenant, now is the time to kneel before the demon king, and to offer his body and his heart.

If you despair and give up everything, then so be it.

But Setsuna, she hadn't given up yet.

Despair, I did. I did. I can't do anything about all that. He's an undeniable fact. Setuna, however, has just gotten back on her feet.

A fire lit in the abyss of despair is now a flame of burning red lotus, scorching the darkness of my heart, burning up my life.

"Yet why"

The Demon King showed his first upset.

"Why are you still trying to stand up to me?

"... aren't you supposed to understand my heart better than mine"

As the Mail of Dotter said, the Demon King must have felt Setuna's heart. The bond between the summoning armed and the summoner is linked and intertwined in the dimension of the soul. Therefore, the summoner can feel the will of the summoner and meet through his heart.

And vice versa.

The Demon King is a chaos-bringer.

It is the Summoning Army that Setuna has always used and the most powerful Summoning Army. The bond in the dimension of the soul is deep, and that is why he should have understood Setuna better than anyone else.

That could have been Setuna.

Setuna had seen despair deep in the eyes of the Demon King.

But I also understood that it wasn't just despair.
