Desire

The description was lacking.

“Puha!”

Ajin reaches out his head over the sea and lets out a sigh. It fell straight down from the high up pandemonium to the sea, and the normal human body would have to die by that shock, but Ajin was fine. Before discussing his wounds, there are no traces of wind holes in his chest that were pierced by the Demon King now.

“Damn it...! ”

Azin spits out at the pantemonium. The Demon King's explanation was lacking. The Demon King has not told us why there are no Demons in the Panthem. No, to be precise, he didn't think he had to ask that question.

Of course not. I met the Great Demon King. I suddenly encountered the final boss who was going to decide the fate of this game without any notice. Even though the situation was painful, I was surprised and embarrassed.

The explanation was lacking, but I did get something.

‘Not enough.'

Not in the extreme.

It was clear. I also tested it. Azin's innocence... didn't work for the Demon King at all. It was hard, no, it wasn't convincing.

I thought it would be extreme.

I thought I could defeat the Demon King if I completed the nonpolarity. I thought I could defeat the Demon King and win this game without the death of Saint Camilla.

But he didn't. Azin attacked the Demon King with all his might. But it didn't work. On the contrary, the Demon King's attack was too easy to disable Azin's defenses and inflict fatal wounds on him.

Commitment... Commitment...? ’

I don't know exactly what ‘this’ is. Ultimate is the study of the mind. I understand that, but I have never been conscious of it. But this one was clear.

The Demon King did not lie.

The Horse Clan, better than the Marquis, said that everyone could handle their intentions. Moreover, the difference between those who can and those who cannot deal with the will is clear. I'm well aware of that. For Azin, it was not a will, but a travesty of those who have not learned the tranquility by learning the tranquility can easily mock.

Disadvantages are also clear. Non-violent... determination. The user is too helpless against an opponent who is more determined than it is.

How many of the many players and NPCs present in the First can deal with the concept? First, Devello and Azin. The founder of Raw Snow, Jin-seop, and Ultra Zero. Good people of the Abbey... This is as close as I can think of right now. I'm not sure about magic and superpowers. Magic and determination are different. The Demon King has drawn a clear line about him. The dragon was born with too much magic, so it didn't get used to it.

Then you can easily imagine the consequences.

If the Demon King and the Horsemen start a war, the middleman cannot stand it. There are too few people able to fight against horses of higher rank than the runners-up who can handle their will. How many of the delegates with more power than any other player can fight more than the Marquis? Can LaQuiz, Rivera, and Jabesh handle the agenda?

Devello. Reminds me of Devello. Devello is learning nonpolarity. can address the spirit. But Devello is weaker than Azin.

The Demon King coldly evaluated the level of azin. Even if we get to the Marquis, we can't win from the Duke. That's the limit of the strongest azin player right now.

"The Holy..."

We must kill her to win the war against the Demon King. The death of a saint... is the only way to win a war. If the Holy Spirit dies, the Demon King and the Horsemen cannot use their will. If so, the situation becomes very advantageous. A user of conscience can fight a one-sided battle against someone who can't use it.

To do so requires the death of a saint.

There's no way we can do that.

Azin grips his teeth.

I didn't want Camilla to die, so I learned the euphoric. I didn't want Camilla to die, so I performed a nonviolent act. Yes, from the moment I learned that the existence of Camilla became the family of Azin, and that Camilla's death was the Master Key leading to victory in the Demon King's War. Everything he did was for a fundamental reason: He didn't want Camilla to die.

And now you expect me to accept Camilla's death? Impossible. I don't want to. Azin floats in the air, his body submerged in the sea. He sighs and stares at the pantemonium.

If so, why not?

What are we gonna do?

We cannot win the battle against the Demon King without Camila's death. So... should we give up our victory? No, that's not possible either. The Demon King didn't tell you. The Demon King requires Camilla's death.

“What am I supposed to do...! ”

Azin grabbed his head. My head hurts. I don't know what to do. I can't see the answer. It's been a long time since I felt this helpless despair. No, I've never been so desperate. Ajin's path has not been smooth until now. Suffered enough.

But I've never seen an answer like this before. If I had enough time, I might have asked for something else. But this time, we don't have enough time. There's only one month left. There is no guarantee that even if you complete the zero-polarity during that month, you will win the battle against the Demon King. In fact, he already knew the answer. Noya didn't tell me. Even if you complete a non-polarity, you will only win 30% in the battle against the Demon King.

‘Not enough.'

Even if you complete the translucency, you can't take advantage of the Demon King unless you exceed his will. I've also thought about the worst cases. Maybe we can kill Camilla and bring her back to life as a victory reward. But the Demon King didn't tell me the answer either.

Same body, same face. The same memory... is only a well-made alternative after all. It is not Camilla herself. If so, no need. In the end, it's the same thing that killed Camilla.

Ajin grabs his head.

Despair without answers is heavy.

*

Mungyeong-hee followed Ajin's orders and moved all of Jinn's troops to Unbong, the most advanced northern tip. But Azin had no intention of caring about him. Returning to the Imperial Court, he is still in despair and is wandering around looking for answers.

It is not possible to complete the non-polarity for one month. It is impossible to win the battle against the Demon King because you have completed the Achilles' heel. Then what should we do?

Change the direction of the mind.

The Demon King didn't recommend it. The player in 1st place can become the Demon King directly. What if Ajin becomes the Demon King... and deliberately loses to the player? They don't kill Camila, but they deliberately lose to the player. If that's the case, you don't have to kill Camilla.

‘No. ’

If that's the case, my wish goes away. Yeah, I wish I could have saved Camilla's life.

“What are you hesitating about? ”

It's been a long time since I visited Acacia.

She was unchanged from the moment I met her. But his face was different. Acacia's expression is cold, and her eyes are not as warm as a serpent's.

Asin, who was sitting in a chair, had been flattened for weeks. While Raw Snow and Persian knew about Azin's concerns, they could not give me clear advice on Azin's concerns. All they could do was empathize and struggle together about Azin's suffering.

“If only a saint died, everything would be resolved neatly. Why are you hesitating?” “I can't let you die. ”

Ajin replies, and Acacia laughs in vain. It was beyond Acacia's wildest imagination that Ajin would change like this. Acacia chose Azin because he was a human being who could use and dispose of everything around him as needed.

But what about now? If you let one person die, everything will be fine. Today, Acacia was overwhelmingly close to winning the game compared to other transcendents. Yeah, as long as the saint dies.

“I know what you're thinking. ”

Acacia stares at Ajin. She makes a loud noise and approaches Azin.

“Become the Demon King and surrender on purpose. Ha! That's not funny. Do you think the other representatives will tolerate that?” “What if I don't? ”

Azin asks, "I was reminded of that method. But I did not look for the Demon King again. I was trying to find another way, because I still have some time left.

“Ajin. You're mistaken about something. The goal of this game is to select a new god. Do you think this game will remain the same after God is elected? ”

I know.

“If the object of the existence of the game is achieved, the world of the game is gone. You lose on purpose, and the saint you want to protect disappears! ”

Acacia shouts. I know. He closed his eyes. The Horse War is the final scenario of First. If it is achieved... the game will no longer continue. End of service, end of one world.

“That's not the end of it. Raw snow, Persian. Everyone will be gone. So...” “I know. ”

Azin rises up. Ajin was grateful for his visit to Acacia. Thanks to what Acacia told me, I knew the answer to the solution I came up with. Being the Demon King on purpose doesn't make it the right solution.

In that case.

“That's enough. ”

Azin turns away. He grabbed his feet and approached the capsule he had placed in the corner of the living room. As she looks at the azine heading for the capsule, Acacia opens her eyes wide.

“... what are you trying to do? ”

“I know the answer. ”

Azin puts his hand on the capsule. Kieing, the capsule's door is open. Ajin slaps his cheeks lightly and breaks his head to the left and to the right.

“I can't beat the Demon King now. If she doesn't die, we don't even fight.” “... You know me well.” “Yes. I know, so I just need some time.” “Yes? ”

Acacia was a face that did not understand what Ajin said. Azin did not explain it to Acacia. He entered the capsule and connected to the first.

I need time.

Time to defeat the Demon King.

Ten days to go. You can't beat the Demon King if you practice nonpolarity for ten days. I need some time. Even if you go to the Demon King, catch the crotch, and ask him to come back later, he won't listen to you.

If so, we should find a way to buy time on the sick side.

The Demon King himself said. One of the Demon King's victories is the death of a saint. That is, if the Holy Spirit is not dead, the Demon King's terms of victory are not met.

All you have to do is stay alive.

Impossible. Ajin is too helpless to the Demon King. Even if Azin tries to defend himself, the Demon King will kill him and kill the Holy Girl with ease. We cannot use the way to protect the saint by his side.

In that case.

‘Hide the Holy Woman. ’

Where the Demon King can't touch.
