Demon King

In front of the overwhelming and majestic landscape, I stood firm for a moment. There was no doubt that it was the castle I had built. All the castles and walls that had been piled up desperately to resist El's temptation were located exactly where it was supposed to be.

The performance in my memory was just so different in size. The Toy Castle was the size of my upper half, but that castle was big enough for me to go in with a thousand people.

And yet, curiously, I was convinced that it was mine. My last name that is connected to me. My home.

Where I need to go back.

I could see where Vee, El and A were. They're in that castle. He was waiting for me there. After completing his duty, he returns to his original mission.

It's no big deal to stand here forever. Because the environment around me changes, I can't stop being afraid of it.

I took a step. The body, composed solely of pure Jinma Mana, made a single step and made the same as there is no boundary between skills and skills. I arrived right in front of the moat with enough ubiquitous power to not even know how many overlaps it had.

A liquid filled with nails wafts into a dark glow. I didn't even want to know what was in it.

I don't think anyone moved, but the bridge came down from the wall. I crossed it with a strange feeling of longing somewhere and entered the city.

“There you are, Feyte. ”

The voice of rain welcomed me. I laughed as if nothing had changed.

“What the hell is going on? ”

“What do you mean, you built it yourself? Didn't she tell you? ”

“Do you think I heard that? ”

I bluntly nod and look up at the top floor of the spire to the west. A space of golden bricks that splashes in the middle of black bricks. I felt a sense of intelligence in it.

“It might take some time to prepare. Why don't you come back later? When you have time. ”

Thinking she was a really troublesome woman, I asked her about the other two.

“What about Mirena?”

“Hybrids are still asleep. Wake me up when you're comfortable, or just let me sleep. ”

“Then what about A? ”

“He's on patrol. You can't go ahead. You have to keep what you have. ”

It bothered me that I couldn't go forward. I also wondered if it had something to do with staying at Jinma's Tower, because they're a private store.

But the moment I dropped it out of my mouth, I struck the player as if the rain had noticed it.

“Not yet, Feyte. We need to be tied up here. ”

“Not yet?”

“Yes, not yet. ”

He looked straight at me and said,

“So would you take the first step towards liberation? ”

I felt very confused as to what he wanted to say. They're in no position to act on their own, and I'm the only one who can solve it.

If so, how? It will come to light as we move forward.

I followed the rain. I made this castle out of blocks of toys. I was familiar with the interior structure.

But at some point, a place came out that I didn't know. It was good to come inside the castle and go down to the third floor underground, but the middle of the passageway was broken and the stairs leading down to it appeared.

“…… I don't remember creating the fourth floor underground. ”

“Yes, it's a secret place that was always hidden here. The castle was built in this place for a reason. ”

With that, he looks down and slightly backs away. The meaning was clear, so I just nodded and said to him.

“I'll be back.”

“I look forward to it. ”

As I go down the stairs, I can feel it getting darker around me.

It wasn't a physical darkness. Even though I can't define darkness, I thought, maybe I feel like the light is gone because of something in this room.

There's a loud breathing sound inside. As I went down the stairs, the sound of my breath became clearer and louder.

Since it was a place guided by the rain, it can't be dangerous for me, I stepped on the rest of the stairs without hesitation.

I don't know how many steps I've taken, but I lift my head to the solid ground, not the stairs.

A vast, dark cavity you've only seen in a dungeon. A wall as big as the height of a staircase.

Now there was a master of breathing sounds loud enough to vibrate all around me.

“ ……. ”

In fact, the body of a massive, black monster bird was stuck in a hard chain that came through the wall.

[Hello, my master...]]

As I confronted the same sights as I had seen somewhere, I couldn't connect the words. Either the last boss is doing this on the seventh floor of the Black Palace District 7.

I thought I'd have to repeat the battle that was fought there from now on, but I didn't. He didn't hold me hostile.

I can see why. The moment I encountered him, I was able to sense a kind of connection between me and him.

I realized that I am his master and he is my servant. It was not something only someone could tell us. It felt so clear now that I was dealing with spiritual power. It was absurd not to know until now.

[I'm glad. I am glad that my mission has been accomplished and that I can face my master again.]

He said in a quiet voice. The whole body was covered in scars and several missing parts.

If it's just a physical wound, Jinma's power will restore it. However, the wound he suffered was caused by a high level of magical power that he could not even imagine today.

You reach an irreversible level of damage to your Stamina and Stamina at the same time. The impact on the body and soul makes even breathing difficult, shivering with resilience.

So if we fix him, he's in a weird state of not dying right now.

“Hall, hah, hah…! ”

Something was about to come out of my mouth. However, the more I tried to spit it out, the unknown repulsive force prevented it. There was definitely a name in my brain for him, and that was impossible. It was frustrating and crazy.

I shed tears for no reason. I had no complete memory, but I was just angry and cylindrical.

[You remembered my name.]

“But I can't call him. ”

[Soon I will face complete death. The owner remembers my name, that's enough for me.]

Deep wounds from his enemies, and perhaps mine. Despite his wounds, he's been living on his own ever since. And I felt like I knew the purpose now.

[My Lord, can you do me one last favor of your foolish servant?]

“Tell me.”

It was all connected to him.

I've never been able to use the power of the sole.

A pranky castle is really built into this huge fortress.

[Destruction and death to all enemies. A glorious victory at the end of the road, marked by blood and death.]

“Yes."

Ever since I was a Goblin, the Gulf has been connected to me as my subordinate. It didn't make sense that he was dependent on my poor skill set, so no matter how much the skill level grew, no new subordinates could enter.

But at the same time, he had an unreasonably strong workforce, which led to the rapid growth of his Tonsil skill level.

[I will be resurrected at the end. After his battle and victory, he will once again stand by his master's side.]

“I'll believe you. ”

The enormous magical power that remained with him truly transformed me and El's play. It was this fortress that he built by pouring out all the magical power that constituted existence. Me and El intervened and assisted him. The castle was, in other words, our collaboration.

[Bless the new legion the owner created. I bless a new future for the owner.]

“…… Thank you. ”

I once again looked up at him, a monster in the shape of that giant bird. If I hadn't evolved into Jinma, I would have left him alone. I'm glad it didn't come to that. I'm glad to give him a break.

I still don't remember everything that happened between him. I just assumed that I had known him in the past and was in a major relationship with him.

It was only clear that he had survived for decades, or more, in this empty space for me.

Only that he gave himself up for me.

[So...... now give me a break, master.]

I took a deep breath as I saw the chains around his body. From the moment I saw the chains, I realized that the chains of the seals that were tying the dungeon bosses on the seventh floor were not intact.

The expression 1/2 is definitely correct. The other half is right here.

You removed the chain of seals from your inventory. The chains tied to the dungeon bosses were so large, but the chains in my hands were now shrunk small enough for me to wield. However, the power contained in it remained the same.

I loosened it to the floor and injected Mana. I didn't tell him who had to do it. I was just applying Mana's operating method, which I instinctively realized as I became a Jinma.

I injected Jinma's Mana into the chain, leading to the restoration of the chain. Of course, creating Yu from nothing is impossible for me.

But as far as connecting what already exists, I was able to do as much as I wanted.

[Ahhhh. Finally... Thank you, master...!]

The chain, which was deeply embedded in the wall, slowly begins to pull out. The voice of a restless young man echoing with him. It was a happy voice.

I even felt the bitterness of the words and breathed more Mana into the chain. The chains restraining the monster bird seem to be loosening gradually. At some point, the roots of the chains are completely pulled from the wall.

It was a coincidence when it happened. All restraints were lifted in an instant. The chains bloomed down from the wall and slowly shrunk towards me, decreasing its weight and length.

And by the time I got to me, it was already the size of a chain in my hand.

The chains that were divided into two became one. After a faint glow, only a string of strands of light remained in my hands. The chain emits an unusual glow, as if it were claiming that one day its use would come back.

I put it in my inventory. I ordered it restored, but it wasn't something I could handle, and it doesn't have aggressive capabilities, so I don't have a solution right now.

And I looked up, and there was no sign of the monster bird that had been washed away.

I felt like the line that stretched out from me and led somewhere was broken, proving his death. There was such a huge void in my heart that I wanted to have this much space. This will allow new people to enter, but will not be able to reclaim him.

“Without saying goodbye. ”

Wait a minute, I found something planted on the floor. It was black.

Although the appearance of the sword was not so humble compared to dusk, the power within it was enormous. The reality of the magical power that makes up monstrous birds is no exaggeration.

But there is no such thing as a strong presence. Moreover, Jinma's Mana is leaking lines that I can't control.

“Hard to carry around like a lookout. ”

I picked it up with a bitter smile. I didn't feel it because I knew it was a sword of uncertain performance anyway.

A monster who has protected me for a long time. He left himself in the form of a sword to watch me die.

I wanted to repay his heart. At the end of this path I made, I wanted to take back everything I lost. Tough, hard to remember, whatever it is.

The rain bows deeply at me coming out.

“Well done.”

“Vee, I'd like a drink. ”

“You mean today's luck? ”

“No.”

I shaken my head and mumbled.

“A memorial for those who cannot be named. It's okay to get a little drunk. ”

“…… let's get ready. ”

He opens his eyes for a moment, but soon returns and smiles softly. I smiled at him, too.

I took the first step in evolution. I lost something that I didn't know, and I got a lot more.

I became a monarch by doing so.
