Dungeon Defense (WN)

“Excuse me for a moment. ”

I asked the saint for forgiveness and moved on. The moment I lift my foot, I may have just mistaken it, but the silver-haired ear-girl turns to this side as well. After taking a step, I realized that it wasn't a mistake. The opponent is headed this way.

People's eyes were focused. Normally, my steps would become heavier, but I felt lighter for some reason. It was as if a skilled actor was aware of the audience's gaze and at the same time confident and obsessed with his role, stepping onto the stage with precise gait.

Yes. At this moment, I felt confident in my life.

I wasn't exaggerating. Maybe my steps were so clear earlier. Numerous walks to and from the streets, the directionality that they had seemed so clear but not so blurry and just confusing, was completely absent for me. Let me ask you something.

What do you mean, I'm not going there right now?

It was a strange feeling. I thought it was a curse to fall into this world. However, I was confident that even though I had just been thrown into the world for it to take these steps one by one.

My steps were towards her, as was King Alexandros pointing his finger to the other side of the Rubicon River, just as he was pointing his finger at that Indian wall.

They were a necessity. I also felt that some inevitability was driving me.

I was no longer a stranger. She was giving me the right to live in this world. And when I looked at her blue eyes, I realized without reserve that the other person was thinking the same thing.

We faced each other. Maybe I'm having the best smile.

“I'm Dantalian. ”

“Elizabeth.”

No more than each other introduced themselves. We already had an implicit agreement. The Demon King, the Palace White, the President, the Last Royal Family. It was an agreement that no word in our formula would be suitable for this position.

You are Elizabeth and I am the Dantalian. I assure you that you are Elizabeth, and I assure you that I am Dantalian. However, we were too clever to believe the warranty with a single conviction. We were questioned one by one as if the blind were gently stroking each other's faces.

“I just saw your letter. I don't know if my heart is in the right place. ”

“You can't get it if you don't want it. The more you get, the less you want. ”

Elizabeth smiles.

“That's what beauty and the world have in common, Dantalian. ”

“You are absolutely right. ”

I laughed. As expected, Elizabeth saw through the meaning of the letter that reads, "The Underworld." Let us truly understand the meaning of it, and there will be none other than Elizabeth who has turned to the ends of the earth.

“Nevertheless, you and I stand on the earth. ”

It was Elizabeth's turn this time.

“What compels you to continue standing on this earth? ”

“Haha.”

It was a little funny.

The question asked when Lady Longgwi blurred out my reality was, ’Why are you okay?' On the other hand, Elizabeth asks, 'What is it that compels you to live?' The content was the same but completely different.

“Well, this is not a good place to have a deep conversation……. ”

“Hmm."

Elizabeth glances around.

People poked at this side and listened to our conversation. Elizabeth and I were famous for their horror stories on Bruno Plain. Only a few weeks ago, there was a fierce diplomatic war. It was a conversation between them. Anyone would want to eavesdrop.

“How about a little fresh air in the garden? ”

Elizabeth nods. We went out to the garden outside the ballroom.

I didn't know social networking was so noisy for a while. Gardens near banquet halls were often used for vulgar purposes. Partners having sex outdoors. Of course, such bold lovers were rare, most of whom were light kissers walking through beautiful gardens.

Elizabeth and I got caught up in the scandal. Regardless of how to use it politically, I felt pure fun. It's the most unmatched combination in the world.

“Now I want answers to my questions. ”

“Very well.”

I stopped and looked at Elizabeth. I was unfolding half the magic prepared for the necklace. There was no traffic or wiretapping.

“For a clearer world. Elizabeth.”

“A clear world? ”

I nodded.

“I don't have to make excuses for the way I walked. That's the least courtesy of 100,000 lives lost on the continent. ”

“… a ghost wandering around looking for a place to die. ”

Elizabeth was pitiful.

“I can't think that way. It is true that you and I are murderers. But since you're a butcher, you should try to live up to the value of the life you've killed. ”

I smiled faintly.

“Maybe you and I have different origins. ”

“Different starting point? ”

“You had a clear cause in your heart when you killed your brother. For Habsburg, for the people... ”

In other words, the cause precedes the murder.

“The more you kill static, the more you can't give up your cause. Life has become meaningless after all these years. That's why I can't give up... ”

“ ……. ”

“But not me. There were no thousand of them. I just killed and killed for my life and well-being. It's hypocrisy if I try to do something about it. ”

So for the sake of a clear world.

Let's say the person who committed the murder suddenly claims world peace. Let's even say we're actually making world peace. What do we do now about the family or friends of the man who was murdered?

In fact, the murderer was a good person, too. Vengeance against a murderer doesn't come clean. There's an excuse for the murderer...

“Many people are killing many people. They have swords, but only to swing them. I want those swords to have a solid orientation. ”

“...... You will never stop doing evil. ”

“Of course.”

I smiled.

“It's like you can't give up your ideals forever, Elizabeth. It's not about will. It's a question of roles given to us. ”

I'm not doing it because I can do something.

Because I have to do something, I can do it.

Elizabeth looks up at the night sky.

“A joke of fate. What happens first and what happens later. It's a simple matter of time, but it decides everything……. ”

She lowers her head and stares straight at me.

“I knew it. There is no compromise between you and me. ”

“Exactly. ”

“I'll kill you. The 100,000 lives you bear on your back, along with your own. ”

There was no hesitation in Elizabeth's blue eyes.

Excellent.

It was a friendly and transparent eye. I was confident that if she died, I would leave no regrets. I lifted my mouth and rejoiced silently. Elizabeth points her finger at my chest.

“First of all, I'm going to close this meeting. What you fear is the gathering of the Republicans, regardless of humanity and the Horsemen. The Republicans must be walking independently of the Democratic army. ”

“That's a great deduction. ”

I almost clapped my hands.

“When this side gathers, the Demon King's army will divide. For you, Dantalian, to believe yourself weak, division must be the worst. ”

“He's right, too. ”

I really applauded this time.

“I can't say I'm good at it. ”

“The plague may have been a genius opportunity for you, but the plague is the best chance we have now. The number of peasants decreased dramatically. The size of the land each farmer occupies has increased. ”

Yes, once a ten-man plot of land, now a six-man plot.

“The farmers are jumping so high that they can't find a precedent in the past. The mercenary's ransom, the engineer's ransom is slowly rising. That means farmers are beginning to grow to threaten existing power classes. ”

In other words, a time when Republicans were no better suited to blooming.

“Empires and kingdoms will favor nobles over peasants. There is a huge collision. The emergence of free cities is merely a prelude to conflict. Dantalian, Republicism is a historic flow. ”

“If only one peasant had succeeded in the uprising. ”

I smiled.

“I'm going to slow that explosion down as much as possible. Right. At least until you die. 50 years. ”

“I will detonate within two years. ”

50 years and two years.

At a time when the gap was so big, we had to laugh. I wasn't smiling because I was happy. Only honest enemies were there.

“But, Elizabeth. It's too late.”

“ ……? ”

Elizabeth frowns.

It was then.

─ Kuaaang!

A huge explosion sounds from the ballroom. The groves in the garden were loud enough to roar as a whole.

Elizabeth glances at the ballroom reflectively, then immediately turns her head this way. Elizabeth's expression is distorted.

“Dantalian!”

“The assassination was caused by a polar molecule that humanity and the horseman believe should not be integrated. ”

I spoke calmly, taking a frightening glance.

“This case will no longer be remembered as a Republican council. Tragedy struck the continent with a sense of selfishness. And people will react to it to further emphasize peace between the Horses and the human race……. ”

“Weren't you the one who brought you into the garden to truly engage with yourself? ”

Elizabeth shouts.

“I was sure I worked with you for a moment...! ”

“I'm here, of course, to share my feelings with you. ”

My mouth drew a smile.

“But, Elizabeth -- isn't there a law against using the truth in the world? Whether I mean it or not, whether you mean it. ”

“ ……! ”

Elizabeth's gaze intensifies.

I had more fun for some reason.

“You said it was a ghost wandering around looking for a place to die. That's half right, half wrong. because, Elizabeth, I'm not a ghost. One of the Demon Kings facing you right now. ”

You hear groaning and screaming from the ballroom. How many people died? It was the best scenario where no one died, but I could handle about five or six. Let's trust Pymon's skill...

“Remember, I have no intention of dying for you. ”
