Civilization Game

A few days later.

The whole garrison of the quiet Abyss has been busy. Rod, who had only seen the liver before small explorations, finally ordered a "Blitz Battle." Some say the soldiers have yet to become accustomed to naval warfare, and there are some who disagree, but Lord is no more.

The entire force was in the middle of preparing for march, and Lord was also wearing his armor and listening to the reports of the messengers.

“Your Majesty! A spy has been lurking on the island. ”

“... Knng, did I overdo it? ”

Lord mutters bitterly.

“So no one knows where the queen is? ”

“Songgou. It looks like she's going back and forth between Jarem and Argon, but the exact location is unknown." Another spy has infiltrated the island. Should we try a search? ”

“No, thank you. ”

Lord turns his back and leaves the tent.

“We go according to plan. ”

Rod checked his strategy thoroughly.

Morphe slumbers to maintain the equation pattern of the tenth warp gate. I thought he was just a sleepy character, but ‘sleep’ was a kind of preparatory movement to maintain the tenth magic. But now the limit has come. It was a form of forgetfulness that could damage the equation if you stall any longer, and that was why the Lord waged the Blitz War.

I also contacted Lyris through the crystal shaft I left in the dungeon. When the Morphe's warp gate opens, she comes out and decides to let him go.

I also packed various other preparations.

‘This is your last journey. ’

A sharpened rod boards the ship. The templars followed him.

70,000 of the Abyss are mobilizing during this war. It was the maximum number we could mobilize in the current situation. The 100,000 troops that spread across the rest of the continent were overwhelmed by insurgency and order. In fact, this 70,000 was too much because tens of thousands of soldiers had escaped as deserters.

Against this, Argon's navy forces are 50,000. Unlike the Abyss army, which is escaping further and further, the Argonian army has been outnumbered by the support of the continents. Rejections supported the ship, and unmanned men with swords joined the Argons on my feet. Everyone was strongly aware that the Demon King had to defend the continent.

Plus, 50,000 is just a fleet estimate of power. The body of Ultus, which could be the country itself, came in person, and the people who lived inside the monster's body, in total, could not be estimated.

‘... at least 100,000. ’

Shoot! The ship sails through the waves. Sitting on the deck facing the horizon, Rod moves his hand to open the commander's window.

- Ancient quest, apostle of Marcin.

The impression of the rod was distorted. It was the ancient quest of the same Abyss that had not even had the thumbs to clear.

‘… I thought it was the end for players like Argon to reach their destination. Ha.’

*

The lowest level of underground dungeon.

Lyris stares at the mountain terrace and Aethra.

She demanded half the country's Terra reserves in return for her entry. And the King of the Abyss did bring a very close amount. Moreover, Lord said he would pay the same amount again once the job was done safely.

"I'm crying."

I don't know if he's expecting you to fight for him, but it's a stupid trick. She had no intention of doing so.

Lyris chews and waits, putting a Terra in his mouth. At the end of the promised time, the Warp Gate opens as the vortex of magic gathers in the dungeon air.

The massive, sparkly door illuminates its destination in a mirror-like blur. Above the sea, you see an island. Lord's orders were to return from shooting Satan on that island.

She lets out a chuckle and kicks her tongue once. White and black hair splitting in half pours down onto the throne and touches the bridge.

She takes a step back into the gate.

The scene changed dramatically as I crossed the space. The subspace inside the warp gate was a world of chaotic colors, as if it had entered the abstraction. Without moving, her body flew towards the exit. All I had to do was give myself over to this flow.

The structure of the warp gate usually consists of only the entrance and the exit. The entrance reflects the dungeon and the exit reflects the sea and the island. But this time, there was another hole in the middle besides the entrance and the exit. The room was a connected trail.

This is a double warp gate. Parent witches like Morphe were able to create double and triple gates in this form. Witches in other places were meant to share one route.

Lilith's body is sucked into the halfway house, not the exit, and the scene changes again.

‘… Have you arrived? ’

After escaping the gate, Lyris looks around.

In the middle of the sea, he sets foot on the deck of a warship. The war didn't seem to have begun yet.

“Welcome, Demon King. ”

The voice of Lord. He sits on a creaking wooden chair and turns to greet you. You hold a half-empty bottle in your hand. She laughs excitedly.

“Ha? It's peaceful. Besides, we haven't even started a war yet. Did he call us? ”

“Sorry, there's something I need you to do before we get started. ”

Lord gets up from his seat and approaches her. The slightly opened mouth smelled of light alcohol.

“We're in a lot of trouble right now. Because of Argon's ridiculous incitement, the morale of the soldiers has dropped sharply. ”

Rod rummages through his pockets and pulls out the communication crystal.

“So you, the Demon King, have no intention of destroying the continent yourself, and say a word of encouragement for the underconquered soldiers.... ”

Kuku ku ku!

Lilith, who never heard of it, spills black magic from her body. The fleshy road flinches and takes a step back.

“What, what's wrong? ”

“…… I've got a lot of junk pouring in. Do you want to die and humiliate us? ”

“No, if you don't want to fight on our side, you can give us an explanation and encouragement for the soldiers. We're a team. ”

Lilith is as cynical as she sounds.

“A team? Grab my hand, you maniac. We only deal with you when we need to. Why should we care about human deception? ”

“Oh, don't do that.... ”

Lilith grabs him by the neck as Lord approaches with a trembling four-year-old.

“I'd just as soon kill you right here. ”

A sudden stream of life emanates from her voice.

“Cough...! Knng! Wait...! ”

Cough. Her arms are getting stronger. The desperate Lord thumps at her arms.

“If I die... Argon will... occupy the continent... and the chaos you want..." ”

“Tsk.”

Lilith lets go. The road falls to the ground, groaning and in agony.

“Are you sober now? Waste.”

“… Okay, okay. No more speeches. ”

Lord shakes his hand and says:

“This ship is headed for Jarem Island. If you make a preemptive strike with Satan and create chaos, our forces will start a war on the island. If we get Martan right, we'll pay Terra and Aethra what we dealt with beforehand. ”

She glanced at Lord once with a look on her face that she ‘probably would have’ and then looked around. There were no other ships.

“The fleet will attack from the other side of us. ”

Lord grunts and raises his head, reading her questions and answering.

“While the fleet is drawing attention, we approach the back of the island blind with one boat and shoot at him. As soon as they get bigger, they'll spot us. ”

She seemed to agree with the tactics, but she didn't like Lord's attitude today.

“... I think your appetite is swollen. Do we have to break the Underheim in half to wake him up? ”

“Oh, that's too much. You live in someone else's basement and you threaten us with your capital. ”

As her eyes turn fierce again, Lord quickly turns to talk.

“We're almost there. That's Jarem Island.”

You see an island rising above the horizon. Lord walks up to her and says,

“Glad you haven't noticed. How close do we have to get? If we get too close, the Ulters under the sea might attack... ”

“You can do it here. Waste.”

She outstretches her right arm.

“Shouldn't we just attack the island without needing precision aim?" ”

Kiiiiing! Black magic gathers at her fingertips. In fact, the distance would diminish the power of Satan, but Lilith thought it was none of her business. The Lord's actions were twisted.

Right then.

Bang.

Her ears are sensitive to the sound next to her.

It was a gathering pose, so I rolled my eyes to the side.

“ ……! ”

Lord tears his mouth open and draws a sword at his waist.

Lyris' body reacts. The moment he canceled his casting and bit himself, a white magic wave was triggered throughout the deck.

Aaaaahhhh!

The evil spirit was the magical force that disappeared with just a touch. Here, the 'Concert Crystal Ball’ of Betlin, which was used in the Genoc War, amplified Roseanne's ‘choir’.

The Demon King embraces weaknesses in his imagination as he has absolute strength or is prone to "evil." The two sacred systems burn simultaneously, making Lyris' body pause.

That was enough.

Rod stabs her in the chest with a fully drawn sword, not missing the gap.

Phew!

The sword pierces the Demon King's skin. Then, with a whoosh, the tip of the sword comes out piercing through your back.

“ ……! ”

Lilith shakes her pupils like she can't be trusted.

The Demon King's body was pierced by a human sword.

No blade will pierce the skin of the Demon King. But what Lord used was the ‘Sword’ of Casar, the magical armor that Arc had prepared for the Darius war.

‘I was good at saving it without using it on Tanatos. ’

The rod swiftly retreats back. The sword that pierced her body triggered her, scattering a dazzling white glow. The Demon King's evil body begins to purify with divine power.

“Rod Polentia! ”

As she raises her arm, the rub on her side thunders and grabs Rod by the side.

Lilith's arms crack open into the air while Unibell runs out in a red flash.

“You're dismissed! ”

Baaak!

Reese's body is pushed from the kick into the open warp gate in the back.

She goes back to the abstract world. You see the face of the road smiling beyond the room. I wanted to go back and tear it apart right away, but the flow of space shook my body. She was moving from the halfway stop to her original destination, the exit. I couldn't stop the flow because of the subspace.

Fight.

At last, her body leaves the exit.

The Warp Gate is open to the sky above the clouds.

Through the deadly sword, Lyris' body slowly begins to fall down.

“Grrrgh!”

My whole body was on fire. I can't move my wings. No, I couldn't move a finger. The entire body was rapidly collapsing around the stabbing area of the palate blade.

She shouts with a blood clot around her neck.

“What the fuck did you do to us?! Rod Polentiahhhhhhhhhhh!”

Beneath her lies the island of Jarem as black smoke drifts like a volcano. Argon-side soldiers find her and point with their hands.

“What's falling? ”

“… I'm not sure. ”

“It looks dangerous. Shouldn't we be avoiding him? ”

At this point, Lord was watching the situation with his spy's eyes wide open. His eyes sparkle sharply.

‘… the Demon King's death. ’

If you look at Reese's status through the Commander's spear, it explains the following:

< The body handling the Black Magic Power itself is unstable. Frequently used, the body will collapse and in the end it will cause a terrible disaster. >

A terrible disaster that occurs when the body collapses.

When Lord first came into contact with that, all he wanted to do was take care of her and prevent a disaster from happening.

However, with recent friction with her, Lord changed his perspective.

‘Why should only we, our allies, fear that disaster? ’

Rod had his informants dig through old books about the Demon King and find out what the disaster was.

It is a massive black magic explosion accumulated in the Demon King's body.

Lord knew how powerful it was. According to legend, Samael, who was defeated in the Great War, fell from the heavens and fell into the mountains of Underhaim. She died there, and the effects created a terra mine and underground dungeon war.

Legend has it that the vast mines and dungeons were not described until Lord learned the secret.

The Demon King causes a catastrophic explosion when he dies.

That is.

Lilith will recreate a massive explosion inside the mountain range that will create massive terra mines and underground dungeons.

Rod picks up the bottle that he dropped on the floor earlier and leans toward Jarem Island where she falls. And I took a sip.

Farewell, Lyris. You brought this on yourself. ’

Kiiiiiiiiing.

As her body splits apart, a black light flows out. The sea trembles at the great magical flow and the earth roars.

The world suddenly turned black and white.

And...

A semi-circular energy was emitted around the Demon King's body.

“Your Highness! Hurry! ”

“Your Majesty!"

The ghosts were all aboard the daemons. Rod climbs up, holding a daemon's hand, and all the daemons fly up to the sky with a signal.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh!

A silent, soundless dark explosion that shaped death itself took over the entire island and stretched out to sea.

It's not a formal Ancient Quest, it's a coincidence that you acquired an Ancient Being. This is how you meet your destiny.

A lot of people are leaving because they're closing. Goodbye, Sister Lynne and Renee.

Sick Chickens. You're right about the sociopath.

Park Seong-bin/Khh, if there could be a moral tombstone, where would there be an artificial intelligence perfect?

GNEJI/Pomegranate

Bug/Bear Soon agrees. You don't need a boss who's cost you a valuable idol member!

Hotchman 4 years old/Ultimately, this system only ends with one player remaining. If the situation is cleared up and there are only two left, will Player of Country A try to eliminate Player of Country B to finish the game? If Country B embraces death, then it's the number two ending, and if you want to fight back, it's the war.

I hurt you. You scared me.

Loricom MK/Correct Answer! After all, it's all the logic of power.

... (-1).../You're crazy. Ewwww!

Master Column/Thanks again today!

Roaria/I'm going to hang up here this time. Haha;
