Demon King

“Hmm.”

“Phew · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Captain, why are you sighing so heavily? ”

“No, it's just... ”

In the end, the Chinese house that we came out to Jongno-gu was located on the university side. It was the same Chinese house where I met my death.

Since I couldn't finish my lunch in Seongbuk-gu, I came here with the intention to completely end the Sovereign Union.

“I used to be pretty good at it myself. ”

As I walked into the store, I was furious with the words that Lee Chon Yuk muttered. I turned to him and asked.

“Can't you see your face? ”

“Oh, it's okay. A few evolutions have changed my human face quite a bit. If I was worried about that, I'd still be stuck in a dungeon. ”

That's for sure. Somehow, Lee Chan Yuk said what he was jealous of when I evolved to Crimson Elf, but it was a quite cool appearance of Honam when I tore his face off. I thought it was a demeaning personality, but it was the opposite. Change of face.

C.

I sat down straight away. I just wiped it with a clothesline and whispered as I swept through the gleaming table.

“I've been here as a human. It's not that bad. ”

“Look outside. ”

I followed Lee Chan Yuk's hand and looked outside the store. Things that didn't come to my attention until I came here finally looked right.

It was a lot of other buildings. Italian food shops, Indian curry shops, clothing shops, and cinemas across the street.

Stumbling through memories of the human age was not as active as this place. Rather, I was worried that this place would be destroyed or dismembered, just like many other facilities. Now I think it's the opposite.

At that moment, I rushed out of the dungeon and ran into the monsters of the soul. Then we were able to anticipate a certain amount of why the facility and people were all in one place.

Compress as many targets as possible and limit the enemy's attack target. This reduces the personnel required and increases efficiency.

Though I thought it was an efficient way, the perception rested on the premise was frightening. This is an effective way to deal with enemies and ‘reduce' their sacrifices. You can never get rid of it.

Human beings now have to risk their lives to live a normal life. If they are afraid of dying, they have to come out because they are trapped inside the house and have to wait for death.

Each person's weight will be different, but we must live thinking of death that no one knows when it will come.

I thought so, and the people inside the restaurant, laughing and talking outside, looked different until now. Should I call them what I am, what I am, what I call determination and courage.

Without an answer, I shrug my shoulders.

“In those short years, the whole world changed. ”

“I can't get used to it either. ”

While ordering the wheat noodles and Tang Su Meat, Lee Chon Yuk muttered bitterly, shaking his head.

“The salvation is that there are means of communication and transportation. ”

“Definitely.”

Many of the humans we have seen in Seongbuk-gu are not residents of Seongbuk-gu. Among them, of course, there are many, but that alone cannot counteract those large numbers of monsters. It was supported by another nearby administrative district, Jongno-gu, Gangbuk and Dongdaemun-gu.

Humans' combat strength is tied up in certain units, organically moving, focused on places that require strength, and resolving tasks, because it is always dangerous everywhere, but today's battle doesn't take place everywhere at all times.

Truly reasonable. It is essential to keep more people alive. However, I felt that as the combat force moves, there would be more noise than could be compared to tightening a rusted screw.

Those who have to send their combat strength to other regions, and those who have to carry a great burden and fight in battle.

“I've cooked. ”

At that moment, the clerk brought several plates and placed them on the table. It was a well-deserved restaurant after a lot of work. It looked delicious just looking like a place that survived.

I felt sorry for myself. It was like living and resurfacing in the brain at the time of death, leaving this in front of us.

“Let me know if you need anything. ”

Yeah, his voice kept ringing in my ears like that.

I raised my head. I stepped back slightly to see if the young man felt my gaze.

I asked him briefly.

“College student?”

“There's no college these days. I just work here. ”

“I'm sorry for asking. ”

“No.”

He says hello again and leaves. I stared at his back, and for a moment, I closed my eyes and wiped my forehead. I sighed deeply.

Lee Chan Yuk asked me curiously.

“Captain, what's wrong? ”

“He was my friend at the moment of death. ”

Instead of answering, I smiled. No, he's working at the restaurant where his friend died!

I even made a bitter smile.

“Life is full of irony. ”

“That doesn't sound like a joke because you're talking to me. ”

I shot him sharply and raised my chopsticks. It was more important than a little insight into Humans. Slow it down and the surface will burst. Before that, I picked it up and ate it.

‘Ah.'

At that moment, I was overwhelmed by a feeling I could not express in words. Much more than the taste of food, it reminded me of the number of things related to it that made me unable to endure myself.

Challenge was no longer just a chaos, but a mediator of my life and death, patience and suffering. The moment I refused the rain's offer, it became so.

I didn't become human like I used to paint when I was a Goblin, but instead, I was here as the devil who could deceive all humans. I haven't accomplished everything yet, but now that I'm able to stand up in front of anyone, I've been eating a wedge here.

Delicious.It was delicious enough to make me cry.

“If I had the best right to eat, the blacksmith would be number one. ”

Ignoring Lee Chan Yuk's words, I focused on food before my eyes. I didn't have time to make jokes with him.

“Oh, wait a minute. You don't have to eat so fast, you have plenty of money. No, man! ”

Soon, Chopsticks of Lee Chan oil also accelerated. We didn't say a word until we emptied all the vessels from him. I just shoved it in.

“Three silver 38bronze. ”

After I gave Chon Yuk the only food source with a smile, I went out of the restaurant and found out everything that came into the realm of detection. Even though it is a natural expression, I laughed again at the fact that there is nothing for me to be wary of.

A dungeon where monsters could not be seen within a five-minute walk, or Jinman's Tower and Garden of Delight where every moment was full of tension. A Shinigami's battlefield where monsters of ghosts of terrible power appeared in droves several times stronger than Humans trying to block it with their bare hands.

Thinking about them, the world was too peaceful now. If he had not been cautiously injured by the large nose, he would have committed arrogance soon again.

“What are you thinking? ”

“Did you find them? ”

“No.”

Elf. Knights of Elakatra. We need to be more vigilant than monsters in this world right now. Completely impossible, but you'd better avoid making any sudden contact unless you're ready to wipe them out right now. So Yi Chan Yuk utilized a flying monster.

You set it free and search for the whereabouts of Elakatra.

“Then I decided to apply to Seongbuk-gu and did not. ”

Whatever the plot is, Elakatra must still appear to be cooperative with Humankind. Betraying trust on its own will soon jeopardize the alliance between them and Humankind.

That is, there is a reason for them to give up gaining human trust and not be able to help. What was it? I soon came up with a hypothesis that is quite likely.

‘I fought hard on the battlefield of a new man. ’

It was also enough that a member of the Knights of Elakatra created dozens of monsters that were threatening enough to bite down on the existence of the upper system. Now that I've eaten them all, no matter how vast a Shinigami's battlefield may be, that void will be quite large.

Moreover, a member of Elakatra was killed. If that had been known, I'd be nervous inside Elakatra by now. Thinking about it made me quite enjoyable.

But now that I think of something else to do, I soon felt down.

“Lee Chan Yuk, you can stay somewhere else for a while. ”

“Then maybe we should get a room around here. ”

“Yes. Send me a message. ”

I waved my hand at him and went out into the street. I slowly erased myself from that spot with the power of the Apostle and came back into the air. The people around me and the talents patrolling everywhere didn't recognize me.

Even the existence of a higher system, not a subsystem, would not have been easy to capture me using the power of the Apostle.

In the air, Orloth was floating alone. I also felt like I wanted to stay in a space slightly away from the noise of the city, above which tall buildings could not reach.

But it was an escape. He already ran away once as an excuse to eat. No more than this.

‘We have to take a step.'

He took a step toward the endless expansion of the sky and spoke the ubiquitous language. Only that could have jumped for miles. It was hard to quickly return to Seongbuk-gu, but not compared to walking, running, or riding a car.

The distance became longer and longer. Familiarization with ubiquitous air allows for better control of distance. The consuming Mana was massive, but healing was taking place every moment, and the trick was to reduce Mana's consumption and recover faster.

[The ubiquitous has reached Lv2. Enhances skill strength.]

I heard a notification in the middle that made me happy. But by the time I decided to train the ubiquitous, I had already arrived.

Seongbuk-gu. The villa where I lived.

It was clean and gone.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

I landed there and looked around. It was originally a dense apartment and a dense villa, but it all disappeared and became a simple vacancy.

Why is it so popular that nearby flags and prices are so filthy expensive, but the supermarkets that had to be used often just because they were right in front of the house were gone.

No, there was nothing there. Once it was cleaned up, there was a wall of clean stones, and there was a well-numbered memorial stone in it.

A cemetery.

I hurriedly ran into it. There was a young man guarding it, but he didn't even notice my movements. I went through all the memorials in turn, not caring about him.

It didn't take me long to find it that I never wanted to find.

Parents. The two respectable humans who raised me as a human being stood side by side in the form of black letters in one giant memorial stone.

“Ugh. ”

Even though I knew that I was not human myself, it was impossible to forget the beings who had raised me and given me love.

No, not human, so I knew better at this age. How noble and respectable their actions and emotions are, how miraculous it is to be given to me.

I thought my tears had dried up, but they didn't. Tears poured down on the floor. I just cried and cried for a few minutes without saying I was sorry.

The emotion did not calm at all, but after crying for a few minutes, a little reason came to my mind. That asked me.

Why is this monument so big?

My parents were not particularly great people. Humans who should be called socialites among the socialites. Then why?

“Who are you? ”

A human who can tell me if I'm not good enough. It was the voice of a young woman.

“I fought with some strange monsters, and now a strange human is crying in front of someone else's parents' grave. ”

I didn't turn back. I couldn't see anything with my own eyes because I only heard his voice. Even though I couldn't find the past, I kept my gaze fixed on the memorial stone in case I got caught.

“My father's name is the same, stop. ”

“Ah.”

The woman shuts up. I've sensed everything she has, and wondered how she got so strong.

The woman said.

“I'm sorry. I got nervous right after the battle. I'm tired and tired, and I came to see my parents' faces, and I'm sorry that someone else was standing in front of them. ”

“No, it's my fault, so don't apologize. That's nice.”

You don't have to wonder if someone you've met before is strong. But the problem was that it wasn't.

“I want to apologize. · · · · · · It's just as hard. ”

“Excuse me.”

“Ah.”

I retreated before the Memorial Stone. I try not to face her and walk to the other side. I thought with him.

The girl who would have had a normal bandit daughter as a partner, what the hell happened to her for a year and a half and was successful in achieving a level above 150?

I don't know the process. But I could only see that it must have been extremely painful and difficult. I was so poor that I wanted to hug and stroke her.

But I didn't do that.

Ignoring the gaze on my back, I left my reunited sister in the cemetery for a year and a half.
