Demon King

Chapter 22. Sixth Evolution 1

Just as I waited for the battle to end, from the moment I gathered my weapon, it began to rain.

Did the Elves make it? Thick drops of water pour down like a rain of longevity, as if clearing the breeze of evil energy.

I've been exposed to the rain with the vile blood of the monsters and the filthy skin on my face. Blood shadows and blood baptisms wiped away the rain that clung to those that could not be absorbed. The flesh, which had been scorched by the heat of battle, was also pleasantly cooled.

“Kaicia, you can't hit that! You're weak! ”

I turned my head and saw her running toward me. I was surrounded by a translucent membrane that prevented the rain from spilling, but I was more surprised that she was alive.

Hundreds of them. An enormous number of monsters flock to this plain, where Mirena mistakenly thought she was safe. This is weird, even though monsters were after me.

I looked at her. Mirena blushes and bows.

“I'm sorry. It didn't help...... If I hadn't been scolded in the daytime, I could have defeated the monsters a bit. ”

“How did he survive? ”

“I don't know. I was hiding, and the monsters passed by without knowing me...... In fact, they used to. Maybe I was able to survive until now.... ”

It's suspicious.If I could hide and live, I wouldn't let any Elves get hurt by monsters. Maybe there is some kind of talent for this lousy Elf?

“Beyond that! First, into this shield... ”

Mirena grabs my hand and pulls it. I almost attacked her for a moment, but her goal was to get me inside the shield that was protecting her.

“It's raining in the wind of Utinus. It's really, really bad if you get hit. You don't know how to do this...... No, I know why now. ”

Suddenly, I sighed. Obviously, it doesn't make sense if you don't know what you've been through.

It was about time I reached out my right hand and grabbed the fangs of dance blood instead of her left hand.

“Kaicia, you've already been freed, right? Pretty soon, too. ”

“…… Huh? ”

She said something very silly.

“You've overwhelmed hundreds of monsters. You can't keep your ankles tied to the battlefield of a newcomer. First, did you kill your partner, the monster, at the very least, on the second wave? ”

A word popped up that I didn't know yet, but I had a good idea.

‘Strong Elves left the battlefield at the beginning of the Great Fusion. ’

Maybe in the early days of the Great Fusion monsters wandered around randomly and didn't attack the Elves. The Elves may have had many opportunities to face the monsters they were partners with.

No, I'm sure you will. Lee Chan Yuk told me that the indigenous people appeared almost at the same time. And since then, it has hardly increased.

“ ……. ”

“That makes sense. You didn't stay here very long. ”

I took another look at him. I wanted to sound sincere, but as long as I looked at Mireina's unwavering gaze, she didn't seem to be lying to me.

“After this rain stops, Utinus' wind will cease. All the monsters in this area came here somehow and are dead, so it's safe to stay here for a while. ”

“So?”

“Well, you know. I'll probably be fine, so you can go back to Earth in peace. ”

At that moment, my body was completely exhausted. I was thinking about killing her, and she was saying this in case I was worried about her being left alone.

If all this was theater, she would have been a really great talent, and if she was that good, she wouldn't have had to lie to me. The thought of being able to trust her was rising inside me.

Nevertheless, we can't just skip ahead like this. I must have done something that no ordinary Elf could ever think of. I had to hear her thoughts. You must.

I asked her, looking at her sharply.

“You saw me eat the monster's meat, right? ”

“Yes. To prevent the monsters from fusing, right? I was surprised when I ate those things that were hard to get rid of with advanced magic... … I realized that Kaicia has special abilities when I saw the black smoke rising later. ”

“ ……. ”

“But are you sure? Those monsters are dangerous. I don't know how that's going to affect me. ”

“…… No, it's okay. ”

This woman is strange. I don't know my doubts, I only think about everything well. It was too much.

That's why it can be trusted, but at the same time it can be unsettling. Because you trust me as easily as anyone else trusts you.

“Miraina, as you said, I'm going back to Earth soon. But I need you to confirm something. ”

“What's going on? Is it important?”

“Yes, it matters. ”

Mirena looked at me with serious eyes as the raindrops still thundered over the plain and the shield. Then again, I stepped back a little to see if I was ashamed.

I told you.

“Don't talk to anyone about me or my abilities. ”

“Why?”

“I want to keep it a secret. ”

“…… Okay. ”

I realized my will was solid, and she nodded with a serious face.

Then he took two small rings from his arms and handed them to me.

[Ring of the Covenant (290/290) is unique. It is paired with another ring, and two people who share the ring each wear the ring and then swear to it. When an oath is broken, the wearer loses all magical power and the opponent becomes aware of it.]

Mirena blushes her face, thinking, "Maybe there's another sacred use for this ring."

“A promise with a friend is important. It's not used for this, but... ”

Anyway, it went well. It was only by her words that I was able to block out the hazards in the car that I was anxious about.

Mirana swore she would never tell anyone about me, just like I told her. Then he looked at me with a dazzling look in his eyes.

“If I'm not dead by the time you get back here, will you join me again? ”

“You want me to swear that? ”

“Yes!”

I did what she said. It was nothing to lose. He then opens the door to the dungeon, bidding Miraina a joyful farewell.

The short, long space that crosses from a newcomer's battlefield to the Black Palace. All this time, I've been thinking.

Are Elves really that bad? Of all the Elves I've met, Mirana was the only one with a clear mind by accident.

I don't know yet As long as there is only one sample, we cannot say that the rain is wrong or that it is right.

So I withheld judgment.

And as soon as I came to the dungeon, I only checked the comfort of Lee Chan Yul and opened a new door.

A private store? It was not yet time to drink today's luck, and I didn't even want to talk to Rain about the Elves I met.

What about Jinma's Tower? No. Now that I've learned how to handle the power of the soul, I don't know if I can challenge Jinma's Tower Level 3, but I can't do that.

I don't know what's waiting for me in Jinma's Tower, so it would be wise to challenge me after finishing everything else I can.

What I opened was a door to the garden of joy.

“There you are.”

When I first came here, El who had only appeared a little after I arrived a little later, today, as soon as I opened the door, Somewhere sat on a chair near the table and raised his head to greet me.

Miraina, who was on the battlefield of a newcomer, was as beautiful as an elf, but if you take her beside her, she will lose her light. It was a sad thing, but that was the power of 'looks'.

Her appearance did not make any sense. A beauty close to absolute violence was about to blow all the accidents in my head and try to fit in.

I sat across from her in a chair, shaking my head with excitement as if I had let go of that sensation of excitement and fear.

“Too late. I didn't wait. ”

On the subject of leaving traces of being in and out of a private store, El said with a truly audacious face. I was going to mention it, but I quit because I was afraid of retaliation.

When I didn't rebuke him in any way, El looked like he was thinking something with a slight frown on his eyebrows, then nodded and said to me.

“It's hard to drink, but I can get you a tea. ”

“No, it's okay. ”

I was speedy.

“I was supposed to come a little later. I thought it was too late for a second game. But things have changed. I had to develop dysfunctional immunity and spiritual strength. Even if we know we failed, we still need the ability to get through it. ”

“…… so. ”

El's voice suddenly cools. That's when I realized. I made a mistake.

“You didn't come here to see me, you were just training. ”

The air in the room that was warm and airy went down rapidly. The cold energy that spread around her seemed to imprison me.

But more than that, what troubled me was the little tears in her eyes. There were only 10,000 emotions rising violently within me. All kinds of negative emotions of guilt, truth and vanity took my strength away from my body.

So much so that the immunity and the power of the soul that believed that it was able to control it was useless.

This is her power that has not bound her abilities to some sort of "game." I desperately thought about it.

“It's stupid. ”

It ended abruptly, as it had come to pass. It was the moment when she picked up her sleeve and covered her face, as she did one day.

When the sleeve falls back down, she is once again a expressionless face. I blushed a little, but I pretended not to notice.

“Fate, try to remember. It's never easy to forgive a woman for humiliating her. Even for you. I told you, I told you first...! ”

“Okay. I'll keep that in mind. ”

If you leave it like this, it will be a repetition just before. I nodded in haste before she spoke further. She looks upset, but soon she claps her mouth shut and nods slightly to my answer.

You have to remember. Her deep emotions are young tears. Her words and actions to keep me out of trouble. It would be lovely for anyone other than me to see. I'm sure it will.

El takes a short breath, opens his mouth and speaks in a successful voice to rule out emotion.

“Here we go. The second game is Wall Building. ”

Time has passed.

I spent 3,600 gold to get into Nak- 's garden and finally managed to win the victory from El.

Two days later, Lee Chan Yuk and I placed the boss's room in Black Palace District 7, 4F, in front of our eyes.
