Desire

Noya is dead.

“I know.”

The Demon King rises from the throne. A red cloak drawn by the gesture of your hand flies over the Demon King. Noya's death was foretold. I don't know if Noya would settle for the results, but Noya was too greedy. No, I had no choice. The Demon King giggles and laughs. It would have been desperate for Noya, not really alive. I always pretended to be relaxed, but how nervous and scared did I feel inside?

“If it's enough to kill Noya, it's time. ”

The Demon King writhed his head. I grew up alone enough to kill Noya. I became a god with the help of the system and learned all three conceptual skills. On one condition, Ajin stands at the level of the Demon King.

‘Devello gave up the competition. ’

Becoming a disciple of Azin, Devello enters Azin's camp. Even if Devello kills the Demon King, the triumph of defeating the Demon King goes back to Ajin. LaQuiz gave up the game quickly, and Rivera has no chance. It is on the side of Harvest that they are still working on this without giving up.

‘Unlucky boy. ’

If it had gone according to Jabesh's plan, it might have been a sufficient variable. The Demon King knew about what she was going to do in Lebacore, but left it alone. If the magic had been prepared and the Wise Man's Stone had been used, it might have reconciled to drink with the aid of the Black Arm's tune and system.

‘Glad the observers weren't active. ’

They are old beings. I don't want to be involved in this world, but I reward those who come to me appropriately. They are reluctant to even Gladiolus. If the observers were to actively intervene, this game would not have continued.

‘Waiting for the next one. ’

Gladiolus is stabbed for free. God is absolute, but not always. Gladiolus has lived as a god for almost an eternity. The transcendents who exist in the dimensions governed by Gladiolus are flaws that fail to attain absolute on their own. It's been too long. Since it was impossible for those satisfied as transcendents to gain absolute status and ascend to the throne, Gladiolus began the game.

Acacia has drawn the best hand. Ajin, the representative of Acacia, will soon defeat the Demon King, and Acacia will be granted absolute power from Gladiolus. Gladiolus will then vanish, or become like observers living in a dimensional crevice.

‘I pity the other Transcensors. ’

The Demon King giggles and laughs. Especially with Devello as his proxy, Chrysanthemum has gone half-mad. Devello was far superior to Azin, based on his simple talents. However, since the Devello had entered Azin's camp, it was no wonder that the unsuspecting Crescenseman had gone mad. Hyacinth had no desire for victory in the first place, and Primrose and Carloya were miserable.

“Ahhhh!”

The steps of the Demon King walking through the palace have stopped.

Jabesh protrudes out of the darkness, shouting as if in a seizure, waving his black arm at the Demon King. The Demon King glances at it and flicks his fingertips. Phew! An oily wall blocks Harvest's attack. It was a black arm that absorbed everything it had, but it could not pierce the Demon King's seal. Harvest groans and writhes as he lies on the ground.

“I, I... haven't... yet! ”

“Your determination is virtuous. ”

The Demon King laughed. In a few days, the strength of Harvest has increased. It looks like you've taken power from several other noble horsemen. Such efforts were hypothetical but worthless in front of the Demon King.

“You're looking in the wrong direction. There's nothing you can do about it just because you're ignorant. ”

The Demon King mutters as he reaches for Harvest. The dark black rumbles and spills towards Harvest. Haveth wields his fist to ward off the darkness, but his dark arm begins to absorb the entire darkness.

“Why don't you stop thinking about me and get in the way of your competitors? ”

The Demon King smiled faintly and said. In the dark, he turns away from Harvest and heads for the terrace. On the terrace, the Demon King looked up at the black sky in a joyful mood.

There will be no chaotic war.

The Demon King knew him. It is meaningless to come now and fill the player's head and build an army and wage war. Gathering your troops has already proven that you can't fight the Horsemen's army in the Burning Desert. Besides, you don't have to. This war is over if you kill the Demon King. There is no need to wage war and wipe out all the Horsemen. If you defeat the Demon King, it will be the end.

It was well known to him.

Ajin is silent. He examines each hand he has. By enhancing its non-polarity, it was confirmed that it gained the same power as Noya's absolute power. Even with the support of the Divine Spirit, it would be possible to fight an equal battle, no matter how strong the Demon King's will may be. If we can get Nirvana and Requiem's support, maybe we can take the lead.

‘You can't be sure. ’

He may have killed Noya, but Azin was not arrogant. I have already lost once and have lost once. The opportunity should be seen as the last. If you lose again, the Demon King will not give you another chance, and that will be the end of it.

‘Devello can use it. Use Devello to stop other Horse deterrents. There is pain.’

And there are some that were not used in the fight against Noya. Wonderful ragnarok. This power, more powerful than the Rivelion, will increase your chances against the Demon King. Azin calmed the flutter in his chest.

“Are you nervous?"

Azin exhales and looks at the direction of the sound. Devello leans against the door. Devello only wears thin napkins and short trousers. Seeing that, Azin laughed in vain.

“Are you trying to seduce me?” “Temptation? No, it's not like that. It's a nightgown. It's comfortable. ”

Devello tilts his head back and answers. At that point, Azin gritted his teeth and opened the lid of the whiskey he had placed on the table. Then I filled a glass full of whiskey.

“Aren't you drinking too much? ”

“You have to drink it. ”

Azin empties his cup in a heartbeat. And I asked him about the cigarettes he had placed across the ashtray. It's been a long time since I had a drink or smoked a cigarette. That's how nervous he was.

I didn't feel this nervous when I thought of ways and acted to get to him. But when I get what I can, I get nervous. It's because there's no other way. I'm not sure I can defeat the Demon King with my current power. I wanted to get something else if I could, but I didn't get anything else.

That's why I'm more nervous. I know this is the last time. Even if it's not the last time, if you lose this time... there's no way. Should I be leveling? Ajin laughed and followed the whiskey again. Devello slowly approaches, looking at Azin's back.

“I'll have one too. ”

“Get lost.”

“I'll drink.”

Azin utters his curse, as he always has, and Devello ignores it. Devello, sitting in front of Azin, took the cup of Azin by his own free will and took it to his lips. However, I put down my glabella with a slight wet lip, whether the liquor is not very good.

“I told you to get lost. ”

Azin spits it out and takes back the glass Devello took. And drink. I smoke. I don't have enough cigarettes for one more. But my mind doesn't calm down.

“What are you afraid of? ”

Devello asks for Azin. Ajin didn't answer. There are many things to be afraid of. I'm afraid of everything. Can we beat the Demon King? Can we get back what was taken from the Demon King? And then? If Azin defeats the Demon King, the game is over.

And then what?

Defeat the Demon King to reclaim what was stolen. Raw Snow Scent and Persian can be brought into this world. Even if the game is over. Is that really the end? Is it over if you live with Persian Black Snow in real life? Camila wishes to make Acacia a winner. If it doesn't make Camilla disappear...

Such future thoughts. When you defeated the Demon King, it was his idea. It's pointless if you can't defeat the Demon King. That's what scares me. I'm afraid I'm going to fail. This might be the last time. I was relaxing, but the closer I got, the more scared I was.

“Let's go for a walk. ”

Devello opens his mouth. Azin tilts his glass, suddenly raising Devello's expression, "What nonsense?" Devello ignores Azin's gaze and closes his whiskey lid. I snuffed out the cigarette that had passed through the ashtray and grabbed Azin's shoulder.

“Let's go.”

“I didn't say I was leaving...”

“But we have to go. Let's get some air.”

Devello spits. She doesn't know where Ajin is. I just knew that he was struggling and in a hurry. Devello cannot advise you on such matters. But I didn't want to let it go. Devello forcefully raises the pain and pushes his back toward the porch.

“At least clothes...! ”

“Got it.”

With a voice full of annoyance, Devello nods his head without saying no. Azin enters his room, knowing that Devello won't break if he doesn't want to. Moreover, it was painful to feel frustrated to be in the room. He sighs, roughly dressed and leaves the room.

“Let's go.”

Devello looked roughly dressed. She was already waiting on the porch with her shoes on. Ajin nods his head without clearing his annoying face. Thinking about it, it was the first time we went out together like this. We traveled a lot of places together in the first place, but I had never come out like this in real life.

Azin and Devello took the elevator down to the first floor of the apartment. The night was deep, but the wind wasn't so cold. Devello stands next to Azin and walks ahead first. It was the air outside I had been drinking for a long time, but I didn't feel much of an emotion. However, I felt a little frustrated when I started walking with my real body.

“What are you afraid of and what are you struggling with? I don't really know. ”

Devello says they left the officetel complex and headed for the nearest park. Several times he wandered around outside, Devello remembered exactly the way to the park.

“If you ask, you won't tell me.” “Yes. ”

I don't feel the reason to tell. I don't want Develo to comfort me.

“You don't have to tell me. But I want to help you.” “You're a strange bitch. ”

Azin mutters.

“You're blind to me. I feel a strange urge to control it. You don't want to be rewarded." “Is that weird? ”

“Strange.”

I had already given up understanding of him. Azin plunges out his cigarette while being struck by the night breeze.

“When the game is over. What are you going to do? ”

Azin asks. Devello stops and looks back at him. When the game is over... Azin doesn't need Devello's help. In fact, Azin still didn't need Devello's help.

“Will you go back to your country? ”

“I don't know.”

Devello, who was silent for a moment, replies.

“I'd like to be with you if possible. ”

“Impossible.”

“Then even nearby. ”

Is this a joke? Azin is a little frozen and stares at Devello. Devello's eyes look straight at Azin. Ajin felt a bit complicated and scratched his head with his hands.

“Suit yourself. ”

I'm not going to listen to you. Azin grumbled and walked forward.
