00176 Flower of Evil

“Respect.”

Jeremy raises his horn-shaped glass. It contained wine mixed with mandrake powder. Mandarake, a plant commonly called Mandrago, had hallucinogenic properties. I refined it into powder and poured it into wine to drink.

The most profitable alchemists in the world make. I could have used it as a mild medicine, of course, but I could have used it as an anesthetic. Jeremy probably burned quite a bit of powder on the wine.

“Urp... ugh. ”

Daisy drinks the wine in agony. I don't know if it would be good to say I drank it. Half of them can't get into their lips, and they squeeze along the jawline to the side. Jeremy stares at you.

“This is an anesthetic, but will it only hurt you if you don't drink it? ”

“ ……. ”

“My flesh is torn and my blood flows endlessly. I'm not responsible. ”

Daisy stares at Jeremy with a blank gaze. There was a slight decrease in the liquid spilled from my mouth. However, Daisy's disguise has already pushed the boundaries, and she has not been able to get all the wine. Given the amount of potion that went into your stomach, you've already vomited.

Next, Jeremy lights a scented candle. Light gray smoke rises from the Smurf.

“Oh, my God. You're really, really blessed. When I was a kid, none of this happened. ”

Five or six scented candles encircled the bed. It also acts as an anesthetic and a hallucinogen. It is said to be made from herbs made exclusively from Giant Gypsum in the Magic System. Jeremy grunts, lighting a candle.

“If I died of shock during the procedure, it was over. My comrades went to goal before half of the six of them even made it to the assassination squad. Phew... How much is this? ”

I was rambling heavily, but I didn't feel much. She was as cold an assassin as ever. Maybe the reason Jeremy always smiles too much and makes too many faces is because he struggles to reproduce his lost emotions as they appear.

“ ……. ”

I drank wine.

After subjugating two Goblin districts, Baron has treated us even more specially. This was the wine received as a genuine product. The sweet pearl felt so bitter.

From now on, a 10-year-old girl is dissected in front of her eyes. Reveals the heart, only to be enslaved by me. It's just one possibility that maybe he'll threaten me in the future. It was crazy.

No, it's not just a possibility!

This is a world where Dungeon Attack has been relocated...... and it revolves around warriors more than anyone. That child is destined to be a warrior. Notice that the quest was not broken even after Andromalius died. It's not proof that destiny doesn't change that easily.

Minimum safety, yes. This is the minimum safety measure…….

“Hey, King Dantalian? ”

“…… Ah. ”

Maybe it was because I was lost in thought. The strange smell of scented candles was painting the nostrils at all. It seemed like the effect of scented candles was slowly revealed.

When he regained consciousness, Jeremy looked this way with a surgical knife in his hand. The surgery had just begun.

“Ugh… ha, ugh…. ”

Daisy, tied to the bed, lets out a heavy groan. The bare flesh cracks red. The eyes staring clearly lost their dim ribs. A large amount of saliva flowed from the mouth. The girl has completely lost control of her body.

The smoke of the scented candles was as relaxing as usual for Jeremiah.

“It's also a pretty powerful hallucinogen. It's hard without immunity. You're the Demon King, so there won't be any sequelae. If you've seen enough, why don't you go out now? ”

Jeremy's voice echoes from afar. I shook my head as if it were a fish. Even the voice coming from my mouth came from a very, very distant place.

“No. I'll be watching you through. ”

I felt it was my duty. I don't know why, but I was strongly convinced that I shouldn't leave now.

Jeremy nods and turns back. The surgical knife moves.

“Ha, ugh……. ”

“Wow. Your Majesty, this is not a joke. Mana is developing because of the potion, but it's very dark. No, I've never seen a darker child like this...... Almost a monster. Oh, my God."

“Khh... ugh, ugh... ”

“There's already a willingness in child themes. You're trying to protect the owner. Wow, that's crazy. There was something really natural about it. I'm going to flip my eyes when I see some of the tower inspiration. What did you grow up with? I'd like to get some scraps myself. ”

Jeremy continues to say something. Maybe Daisy's talking on purpose to keep her mind off things. Contrary to the frenzied chatter, Jeremy's hands cut and scuttled the girl's flesh, precisely and carefully.

“Thanks to Mana, there should be no such thing as pestilence. He's white, but I'm sorry. ”

Horses and gestures flowed to different rhythms. Time flowed strangely like a silent movie before my eyes.

“Regret being born with Mana for now. It's making surgery incredibly difficult, Hehe. Stay sharp. You're going to get yourself killed. ”

The girl's white skin floods with excessive red liquid. Daisy is now suffering from even breathing. I was constantly moaning in my lungs.

“Hehehehe, uhh, ahh... Ahhhh! Arrgg! Hah... ”

Screams ring loudly in my ears. White flesh, red lumps, thick smoke, an overly intense scent and a faint mixture of blood...

It was not compassion that felt the girl in extreme distress.

It was weird. It was weird and weird.

When I think about it, it was really strange. Commander Hawk, Jack Orland, Reef, Kurz-Schlairmacher, all died in agony and anguish. Why do people suffer? Why can't I suffer a little more cleanly...? I mean, a little more cleanly? Why do I have to suffer?

The accident has become slower and slower. My head is numb. The scent seeps into my skull.

Why are you trying to kill me? I have done nothing wrong to you. It's no joke that you have to die just because you're the Demon King. I didn't want to be. Makes me have to kill him first. Why is everyone responsible? Why do I have to do all the things I didn't ask myself....

“Shhh! Shhh! ”

So shut up, Jack. Just because the raw flesh burns a little, the man's screaming too much. I bitten the arrow in my thigh and begged the adventurers for it. Use your head. Be desperate. If you're caught in a tiger's den, you'll catch the tiger cub's nose if you stay calm.

“You devil……! ”

No, it's just business. It's just unfair as all businesses are. You understand that now.

The memory magic was excellent. I took a beating. If it weren't for Pymon, I would have fallen for a trafficker who didn't show up at the dungeon entrance. We might have been great friends…….

“Ugh… ugh… ugh, ugh, ugh…! ”

“Don't throw up! Swallow it! Swallow the damn potion! If you puke on that now, you're dead meat. If you don't want to die, swallow. ”

“Khhh… ugh, ugh…… ”

Approximately how many people died? 100,000? About 2,000 in the Black Mountains... I don't know, that's about it.

Anyway, Orcs eat a lot of shit. Even if thousands of bodies are smoked, they'll soon be cooked. Sometimes they're cute, but they're mostly assholes. Monsters dying quickly can be beneficial to war. Humans, on the other hand...

“Damn it!”

Barbato pointed out correctly. This is outrageous. For the Humans, the soldier is not just a soldier, he is a permanent citizen, that is, a laborer. Worry about the decrease in labor force.

I'm glad I wasn't born human in that sense. Suppose you win a role like Princess Elizabeth's side or something. He'll score more goals than he does now. Even the youngest Demon King may be lucky to be the Demon King...

100,000 dead.

With 100,000 people, it's almost the world.

“Khhhhhhhhh!" ”

I mean, my mind is always going to be just a little bit bigger than 100,000 people's world.

“Stay sharp. Phew, my eyes are upside down. Hey, hey! Do you want to die? You want me to put a knife in you before you die, bitch? Bitch, open your eyes! Open your eyes! If you die, even a kid with a brother or something dies. Your parents are gonna die, too. Fuck, man! ”

Is that so?

I can see why I felt so strongly about saving Daisy's life.

I want her to be one of my kind. I hope you're on the same page as me. If there are two people, and not one rubbish, we can comfort each other.

I wanted to comfort someone. I wanted to be a senior, a parent, and a strong person to comfort and lead someone.

Suddenly, I was weakened. It's not junk.

What a relief to see a people like me ― what do you mean? I have inside me a Hawk commander, Jack Orland, Reef, Kurzschleimage, 100,000 humans in a matter of 100,000 -- that they should be comforted by me? A murderer to a murderer?

Don't be ridiculous.

It's a more obscene excuse than an excuse. What's different than sympathizing with a nobleman's anger? You could have died instead of surviving. You didn't kill yourself.

“My Lady Dantalian? ”

My body stood up one day and stood next to Jeremy.

The girl's nakedness was stretched out before my eyes. A miserable exhumed skin, a faint tingling sensation, blood, and so much blood were there. I slowly caught them in my eyes. And I looked into the girl's eyes.

“ ……. ”

The focus returns to Daisy's eyes. I felt a rash in my eyes.

The fierce anger mixed in with the fierce, expressionless girl's gaze. You realize that I'm the one who's in more pain than death right now. I would have known that I was her enemy, not anyone else.

I smiled coldly.

“This is it. ”

“ ……. ”

“I was talking so hard, I thought I was strong, but I couldn't hold out for one surgery. After all, it was a 10-year-old girl, no more or less. You don't have to carry 30 humans, including your brother, parents, villagers. ”

Daisy opened her lips.

A small voice flows out like breath. She grunts a few times like a newborn, failing several times, then barely uttering her sentence.

“I'll... kill you." ”

“ ……. ”

“I swear.”

I stopped laughing loudly.

The scented candles made my brain clear in an instant. Yes! Everything is clear. What I needed was such a clear adversary!

One hundred thousand killers should be followed by one hundred thousand enemies. But most of them, without even realizing that I killed them, even lost their chance at revenge on me and collapsed. It's so unfair.

“Please kill me hard. ”

If I have killed 100,000 people, you will weigh more than 100,000.

I will bring a hundred thousand people to their deaths in the future. You must keep an eye on it at all times. Those who were killed by me are so weak and ignorant that they cannot stand against me, so you must take the place of one of them.

“I want you by my side. ”

Every time I look at you, you'll remember what I did.

To not run away from what I did, from my life. No refuge for sympathy, no comfort.

“You will be my living witness forever. ”
