Desire

“Doubtful in your eyes. ”

The queen smiles as she watches the pain. It was a single stab wound, but Azin was not embarrassed. He nods, looking at the queen's face.

“I don't think my suspicions are strange.” Ah-ha-ha. So is he. ”

The Queen may have been in the Black Forest, but she understood what was happening out there. She returns her eyes and stares at Azin.

“The Demon King has come and the Pandemonium has appeared in this world. The horsemen that need to live in the castle are running wild in the middle.” Are you with the Demon King? ”

First, Azin asked about him. I did not unconditionally believe that the queen would answer this question honestly. Nevertheless, I had to ask. The queen smiled at the question. She shakes her head horizontally and replies.

“I'm not on the Demon King's side. I am said to be the source of my existence, but I am beyond the source of my existence. If I were the only one left, I wouldn't be living in the middle of the world like this. ”

The Queen's origin is Baloch. Originally, Baloch was classified as the top horse in the horse kingdom. But the queen, like the rest of the horsemen, has been using the Black Forest as her territory in the Middle Ages, not in the Mahjong Dynasty. When I think about it, her existence was very unusual. Originally, the Horses come to the world with a contract with the existence of the intermediary world. But the queen was in the middle without a contract, and without restriction on the power she had.

“But I'm not against the Demon King. I don't want to. If you want my help in the battle with the Demon King... sadly, I cannot help him.” Is that true? ”

“Why would I lie to you? You think I'm gonna use this horse to deceive you? ”

The queen smiles and asks. Ajin kicks his tongue across his head. The queen was right. There was no reason for the Queen, who was immortal, to deceive the pain by lying to her.

“What do you want from me? ”

The queen asks again: Azin looks at the Queen for a moment and opens the Shadow Room. What I pulled out of there was a giant Wise Man's stone taken from Harvest. When she saw him, the queen exclaimed in a low voice.

“You're about to see something rare. I've never seen a Wise Man's Stone so refined.” What's a Wise Man's Stone? ”

“All wizards and alchemists want this. It has an infinite magical power and, if used to mediate it, any magic can be implemented without conditions.” “You don't look so great just hearing that. ”

Ajin said that with an honest heart. Unlimited magical power means you can use pain. Mockshine Laquiz used an infinite amount of chakra, and so did Jabesh. She laughs in vain.

“Most mortals do not possess infinite power. The Wise Man's Stone is what makes it possible. And... that's not all. The only reason wizards and alchemists want Wise Man's Stones is because they allow the Wise Man's Stones to implement all magic unconditionally.” What do you mean? "”

“Meteor needs meteors to drop. You need oxygen to start a fire. The Wise Man's Stone makes Meteor drop even without meteors, and sparks even without oxygen. Turning the impossible into possible is the true power of the Wise Man's Stone. ”

Jabesh has created countless artificial life through the stones of the sage and breathed a cruel soul. It was the greatness of the Wise Man's Stone that allowed him to engrave life like a machine. However, Azin, who had mastered the art of shamanism, could not understand the Queen.

“Is there any way I can use this?” “All wizards want to sacrifice their lives, but you won't be able to make good use of the Wise Man's Stone without mastering magic. ”

In that, he felt a deep regret. However, now is too little time for new magic.

“I have a favor to ask you.” What would you like to ask? ”

The queen asked. When Azin heard the question, he thought for a moment and asked.

“What will you ask me for?” “is not required. ”

The queen replies, and her expression flickers. He glanced at her because he couldn't trust her words. The queen smiled at him.

“If I could do anything for you, I would. I have favors and curiosity for you. Your challenge to the Demon King, mortal, makes me very happy just to see it. I have lived a long time, and I will live a long time. I cannot stand against the Demon King myself, but I can feel surrogacy and joy watching you against the Demon King. ”

The queen who said that seemed genuinely pleasant. Azin tries to distinguish the truth from the Queen's words, but his tongue sticks out knowing that it is meaningless. That undead creature has a mind beyond human understanding, living a lifetime of eternity. Even though Ajin claims to be mad himself, he is nothing compared to the Queen who has been mad for thousands of years.

“I need some space expansion magic. It's not possible with my abilities. ”

We should take the rescuers from Lebacore with us. It would take more than a month to get to the city next door, so it needed to expand the shadow space of Azin. With Persian disconnection, the shadow space in the game was disconnected from reality, but it was possible to use the shadow space in the game.

I had never felt inadequate in that area, but there was too little space to accommodate so many people. The queen nods her head when she hears Ajin's words.

“Easy.”

The queen raises her hand. The light that extends from her fingertips curls under her feet.

“I've put on the spell of infinite expansion. The more you put it in, the more space it will expand, so you won't notice a shortage in the future. ”

Azin lowers his head slightly toward the queen. Seeing that pain, the Queen smiled with a joyful look.

“I don't know what you'll do. I'm very excited about how to challenge the Demon King. This is gonna be so much fun. ”

Asin returned the queen and the Black Forest without answering. We don't know if she's telling the truth or not. But this one was clear. The Queen cannot provide direct aid in the battle against the Demon King. However, it seemed possible to seek advice and enchant in this way.

Azin returns to Lebacore and puts everyone in the shadows.

“Where are you going now? ”

Devello asked. Today was a very busy day. I stopped by the monastery, then came to Lebacore and killed Harvest, then destroyed the city and rescued some of the prisoners. Azin was satisfied with what had happened in the first place, but what he had intended was certainly accomplished.

“That's all for today. ”

You have defeated Lebacore, the most horrifying human treatment in the Gracias region. It would be better to wait for some gossip to spread than to take action right now. The NPC wasn't the only thing Ajin killed in Lebacore. Among the Black Wizards and Witches, there were quite a number of players. They will personally move to other cities and inform about what happened in Lebacore.

‘Let the rumors prevail... and then... ’

Ajin chewed his lower lip well. I didn't like it, but I needed to make contact with Rivera.

Rivera is currently working with LaQuiz. The ‘Revolutionary Army’, which she is the leader of, has been working hard to save humans from the persecution of the Horsemen and to create a revolution for humans. But their activities were not that great. Today, Azin has destroyed Lebacore more than the Revolutionary Army has done in months.

However, there is meaning in a group called the Revolutionary Army. Though it did not achieve much, the Revolutionary Army continued its activities while wandering around the city under the rule of the Horses, escaping human slaves transported and rescuing small villages controlled by the lower horsemen.

They say they are not great, but there is a reason to make contact with Rivera. Rivera is hiding something. If I let her go for no reason, I had the possibility to grow into a bothersome existence later.

“Are you going to eat now? ”

Devello tilts his head and asks. In response, Azin gives Devello a cool look. But Devello doesn't care if Azin sees it that way. Rather, she said with a thin smile on her mouth.

“I'm going to boil some miso stew. Put the stubble in.”

Recent Devello was proficient in Korean cuisine.

The death penalty is over, but she has not returned to Lebacore. Haveth accesses the game and first checks his physical condition. He was even killed once, but the power he gained by sacrificing the Horsemen was restored.

“Son of a bitch...! ”

Jabesh spits his words out as he moves his teeth. The insult was, of course, painful. I lost the Wise Man's Stone and lost Lebacore. The ball that Jabesh put into Lebacore was only two months old, but even if the Wise Man's Stone was stolen, he could not rebuild a city like Lebacore. No. It is possible to build the city itself, but without the Wise Man's Stone, the great magic of sacrificing the entire city cannot be unfolded.

‘Son of a bitch. Why are you doing this to me? ’

Haveth shudders with hatred, recalling the laughter of Azin. The mind has already killed Ajin a few hundred times, but the mind alone is not everything.

What should I do? She stands tall and thinks. Jabesh has lost everything. The problem is that we cannot go anywhere else to mourn the loss. Even though she was given the title of a wizard, she had no intimacy with the other horses. Unless they're low-grade horses. The higher-ranking Mabes were blatantly ignoring her.

‘I'm not on my side. The Horunklauses are dead... and there are no Wise Man's Stones. What the hell am I supposed to...? ’

There's no way. She raises her hand to grab her head like a habit. That was before her hands grabbed her hair.

Harvest's body has been moved.

“Huff?! ”

Jabesh is startled and takes a step back. It was the landscape I knew. A huge chair at the end of a large fishery. On top of that, the Demon King twists his legs, wrapped in black fog.

“Th-the Demon King...! ”

“How about a little respect? ”

The Demon King smiled and asked.

“Dear…”

Jabesh hurriedly adds the letter. Looking at it, the Demon King smiled. He slowly got up and said.

“Fun thing happened in Lebacore. ”

I can't see the Demon King's face beyond the mist. Nevertheless, she felt an intense glare looking this way. With that gaze, she had no choice but to realize that the Demon King knew everything. He immediately knelt on the floor. It's in the game anyway. No matter how powerful the Demon King may be, there's nothing he can do about it. The Avatar could have killed her hundreds of times, but it was impossible to kill her in real life.

Nevertheless, she sincerely surrendered to the Demon King. Then, with all my earnestness and hatred, I revealed everything that had happened in Lebacore. The Demon King knows everything. Everything that happened behind her back, the Demon King knew and left her alone. After confessing to everything he had planned, she also told me what happened in Lebacore.

“I see.”

The reason she said everything was simple. Because on his behalf, I expected the Demon King to kill him. However, even after hearing Jabesh's story, the Demon King was not furious with Azin's actions.

“You've come up with an interesting idea. ”

Rather, the Demon King smiled joyfully.
