Dungeon Defense (WN)

“…… I did. ”

Baal smiles bitterly.

The Summoned Water Mage needed a host. The summoner remains motionless until the host fails to provide magical power. When fighting summoners, it was wise to eliminate the host first.

'There are 500 knights of death at the ball right now,' said Amon. The Knight of Death is an extremely powerful magical object, even in all summons. That's why Baal has been provoking Barbatos since the beginning. I didn't forget to destroy the heart, which is the source of my magic....

“You pretended to lose on purpose. ”

Under the circumstances, Barbatos thinks he's in a fit of rage. Not only was the Demon Lord most regretted and hated by the Second Moon Blind, but Barbatos. However, was it merely a disguise of anger…….

Baal began to understand the innards. Zephar tried to rescue Barbatos unconditionally without attacking Baal, not because he was cold, but because he needed operational rescue. After the rescue, Zephyr covered Barbatos with a cloak.

To prevent Barbatos from recovering.

Baal spills blood on his mouth.

“It was strange to recall. Just as you knew Barbatos would attack, you took a few steps away from yourself. ”

It was not an attack caused by emotion. It was not an accidental raid, but a restoration laid out in the meadow for just the last moment.

“In the end, Barbatos is the one who kills him...... and he's a luxury. ”

“Well, no. Half right, half wrong. ”

Dantalian scratches his cheek.

“It is true that you have intentionally lost. He must be going for the heart, so he drank the potion in advance. But Barbato didn't kill you. ”

“Potions?”

“I mixed it with wine. ”

Barbato has been drinking wine at the ballroom since before the meeting. Was it a potion? Baal smiles bitterly, almost obsessed.

“Even more beautiful. But why didn't Barbatos pierce him? ”

“I don't know about Baal, but the heart isn't a simple regenerative area. Even a High Demon King can be quite painful when his heart is destroyed. ”

The Dantalian growls as if it were a joke.

As he flicks his fingers, more swords rise from the shadows. Along with the sound of flesh loss, Baal is impaled with swords. On the other hand, the swords you attacked earlier sink into the shadows of the road. It was an alternate attack.

Hmmm, Baal moans. I thought about restoring my strength as much as I could while chatting, but there were no gaps at all.

“Daisy, cut it. ”

“Yes, Father. ”

A human girl strikes the sword. Baal's right wrist is severed after snipping. The Pharma King's Great Sword is lying helplessly on the ground. In case you haven't noticed, I left my weapon out.

Baal frowns.

“Your father?”

“I'm a adopted daughter. I hope you'll find her cute, since she's never been in a relationship with you before. Of course, you're cute, but you don't have much time left. ”

Dantalian kicks the Parma's machete.

“Let's get back to the story. It's true that Barbatos was fine, but he didn't recover enough to summon him freely. However, how could the knights of death ambush us……. ”

Dantalian claps his hands again, and the Great Swords slash Baal's flesh again.

“The reason is simple. From the very beginning, I was given control. ”

“ ……. ”

“Of the 477th Centuries of the Knights of Death lurking in the ballroom, only sixty-seven were witchcraft from Barbatos. ”

He grins.

“The other four hundred centuries were all subdued by me. ”

Baal sighs and lets loose his elasticity.

“You deceived yourself. ”

“Yes. You don't have to blame yourself. Every knight of death thinks he's the protector of Barbatos. ”

“As good as making fun of your tongue. ”

Baal smiles.

“When the Mutufa Demon Kings attacked him, when the dolls raided him, when the magic poured out…… If the Knights of Death had continued to harass him, he might have lost. At least I didn't win so easily. ”

Ignored all possibilities. The Knight of Death posed as incapacitated to the end. I only wanted one perfect moment.

Dantalian shrugs.

“Well, maybe losing means maybe winning. You're number one. We have to be prepared. ”

Eyes were fixed upward by the wirebundle coming from above. The Human girl attacks and grabs Baal's Great Sword for a moment.

Now, just as I thought it was over, the knights of death broke the silence and ambushed me.

Dantalian lowers his voice as much as he can, whispering in his ear.

“It's a secret, but the Demon Kings actually needed to die. Wouldn't the fewer Demon Kings than me, the better? ”

“Heheh heh.”

In the end, even Baal himself was used.

It was Dantalian who killed Andromelius, who came in 72nd, and Dantalian who killed Baal, who came in first. The Demon Prince will surely return to the center of the character in front of him. In his hegemony, there will be no faith in warriors....

“It was the fate of Baal to die for someone like you. But, Dantalian. This is not a triumph of your power alone. He had to mobilize all the Demon Kings to kill himself. ”

Baal closes his eyes with a satisfactory smile.

“My 5,000-year life in Baal was as heavy as his. What more do you want as a mortal? Have any of you met the end so early? Nothing. Nothing... ”

If you close your eyes now, the sky is gray.

The sky opened when I looked up to starve.

The Magic Cube was an unequal land. I just struggled to survive. Since it was natural for a strong person to eat more than one meal, all Maine wanted to be strong, and Baal was also such a Maine.

As he kills and kills, Baal raises one question.

If I die in vain, what does it mean for me to have died so many times?

I once killed a mother and a little girl to eat a piece of bread. Aiman brutally slaughtered the family crying for help. I once killed a preacher who stopped fighting like Abigail and went on the path of reconciliation. The warriors who died by their swords were great and noble.

He ate them up and himself was alive.

― meaningless death, never forgiven.

From that moment on Baal searched for his own death.

Barbato cries out for a world where all the Maine lives happily. A person carrying an ideal of that weight was worth killing for. Pymon has dreamt of a world where all rational beings can coexist peacefully, beyond the faction. It was worth killing for.

Although Dantalian's ruse played a major role, it was all the Demon Kings who eventually killed themselves.

Baal was willing to accept this death.

“You seem pleased. Looking for a peaceful landscape, Baal? ”

However, even after waiting, the opponent does not cut off his own head.

“I'm sorry, but I can't kill you here. You're the Demon King who killed Baal in his sleep. If you get that kind of attention, you're probably tired. ”

“…… What are you talking about? ”

“Your neck isn't charming enough to take that kind of risk. ”

Baal opens his eyes, and there stands Dantalian smiling bitterly.

“I don't want the new emperor. Even you died like this. Will that throne last a thousand years, even if I stand in a blameless position? I just need to live long and thin. ”

“ ……. ”

Baal felt anger for the first time.

He swore that Baal's death was not worth much.

“You…. ”

“Let me tell you one thing. As soon as your absolute strength is gone, the Demon Lord will be forced into an internal quarrel. Agarez was half crippled. You're gone, too. Now I feel I need to be vigilant. ”

Dantalian kills the sound and laughs.

“Such a pity, Baal. The struggle and war you so eagerly aspired to, paradoxically, took place only after your death. Understood? You were having the impossible dream. ”

“ ……. ”

“But you can't blame me. If I had stayed, I would have been killed by a human being, but I'm glad I did. Well, it's not enough to be thankful. ”

Dantalian whispers in my ear.

“A son of a bitch deserves to die. ”

Then Dantalian turns to the Demon Kings.

He raises his arms and shouts.

“Comrades! The Demon Lord Baal, who defeated the Second Monthly Alliance and then failed to succeed, was defeated. This is the moment when a traitor, one of the traitors, whose selfishness has engulfed all the Magician's wishes, will be executed. ”

However, Dantalian said.

“If one of us defeats Baal, he will be called the hero who defeated Baal alone. Gentlemen, we cannot rule out such a tragic end. because Baal is not a traitor of any man, but a traitor of every horse, as I said. ”

Dantalian was more serious than ever.

“Therefore Baal must be handed over to all of us. Dear comrades, We don't want one hero, we want one system. If you take pride in representing the witches, if you truly believe that you are the King of Man-Man -- please come forward. ”

Dantalian pulls the dagger from his waist.

“A new era! ”

He reluctantly tucks the dagger into Baal's shoulder.

“Not just an old age of struggle and competition, blood and slaughter, but a new age of peace and peace, coexistence, and most of all, for everyone. Right now, I'm asking you to open it with both our hands. ”

Then the Demon Kings slowly approached.

At first it was Barbatos. She was still breathing heavily, but she summoned a battle sickle to cut Baal's thigh. Pymon cuts Baal's right ear, half sad and half penitent. Gamigine cut off Baal's breasts, as she did before.

Like a hound getting eaten slowly, one flesh at a time.

‘Ahh... ’

Baal thought as he felt the feeling of puffiness, puffiness, and tearing the flesh.

Finally, this was the third place of the Demon King Bashago. Bazaar was known to have been a follower of Baal from the beginning, so he had to participate in the killing spree in order to clear the name of Baal's side. More precisely, Dantalian has been very cheap and persuasive.

After a bargain, his face was covered in fear and greed. It was his true form called the nobleman. The barsago raises his longsword and swings it at his neck, slowly shining into Baal's eyes.

‘Is this my death? ’

And everything went dark.
