Dungeon Defense (WN)

“ ……. ”

“You don't have to stare at the poor guy. Nothing is happening here. ”

Something stuck to my ankle. It was like a damp, damp shadow. If I look down at my ankle, my touch goes away immediately. But that was the only way to get trapped.

I personally called it ticklish. My ankle was itchy, so I scratched my ankle and strangely itched my back. Scratching my back made my shoulder itch again. Just like that, once I gave that shadow my sight, it continued indefinitely.

As I looked at my ankles, at my waist, at my shoulders, and chased away the shadows, I suddenly got stuck in retreat. I couldn't see anything, but I only felt it, so I grabbed my wrist, ankle, and back and pulled it.

It's like bugs are eating through your body.

Let me just say that I'm not in a pleasant mood.

“You haven't slept with anyone since Pymon died.... ”

Barbatos mutters as if weeping. No, it was a blur.

“I thought it was because you were bored of me... ”

“Ah. I'm sick of women. I'm sick of people.”

I sucked a sip of the beginning of the year.

“Sexual desire is also something that disappears when you're really fed up with people. I had no idea you were so happy to be free of your lust. I feel like a successful whore running away from a vicious pimp. ”

“It's because Pymon's visions keep shining...! ”

I took out my handkerchief without saying a word. I accidentally take out the red handkerchief, and I put it back and grab the white handkerchief. Then he approached Barbatos and wiped his face with tears.

“She ruined you in the end... Ah! I knew this would happen! I knew it a long time ago, but I hesitated like an idiot...! For real, I should have killed him without telling you! ”

“Stop crying. ”

“Where is she...? Is she attached to me?" Every woman you see, you see a pile of Pyramids? Ah, Dantalian, you stupid son of a bitch... ”

I shook my head.

“It's okay. I can see your face very well. ”

You're welcome. The situation wasn't as bad as Barbato thought. If every woman I see had Pymon clinging to it like a demon, I wouldn't even be able to look at her in the face with common sense.

It was the opposite.

“So let's talk business. ”

Pymon was behind my back.

With my right arm, my chest. With my left arm around my waist.

She puts her chin on my right shoulder. Thanks to this, her whispering voice flows right into my ear. Like a broken Orgol, he repeats, repeats and repeats one last word he left behind. Intermittently. Like exhaling.

Something wet poured down from my shoulders and chest constantly. Maybe it means blood. In a parable, it was a slightly intense tickle.

“Don't kill me, Dantalian.... ”

“ ……. ”

“You can't kill me. Please, I'd rather be locked up in a dungeon in the middle of nowhere. If I shine on you like I'm dead...... You know better than anyone that you can't bear that... ”

Stupid shit.

The dangers of locking the great Demon King like Barbatos in the Eastern Land were enormous. There were many who worshipped Barbatos on the horse. Even if it turns out that they assassinated Pymon, a handful of the Horsemen will try to save Barbatos to the end.

It was a natural decision.

Being rational, it was not a burden to bear.

Did I feel a desperate answer in my expressionless face? Barbato cries out in tears.

“You'd better run away with me...! ”

My hand holding the handkerchief stopped.

“Run away with me, okay? Where the hell do you have to carry everything? Somewhere in the world...... where people can't even walk or walk...... After hundreds of years and a thousand years, everything will be fine. ”

Is that how you and Barbato get along?

I become an ordinary husband and wife, and live there by building a cabin in a quiet mountain valley. The Demon King doesn't need much food. You won't be too busy getting kicked out of your life. Farming in small quantities would be fine. After all, I was quite talented at farming.

Barbatos will probably laugh at you and say, "What are you so hard on?" You'll be staring at me with your hardworking farming tools. Is the job that Dantalian in the whole world ended up doing? And then, when I'm done with my work, you'll smile and say, "Well done."

Peace will flow like eternity.

I have nightmares and visions every night. Barbato gently hugs me like that. He smiles kindly and wears my back, with a completely different look than he laughed at during the day. It's okay. I'm right next to you. Anytime, any time, any time, I'll be there for you, and everything will be fine....

I've been through a tragedy, but there's two of us. If there are two people who rely on each other and do not collapse, even if it takes a hundred years, even if it takes a thousand years, we can certainly survive.

“Dantalian……. ”

Barbato looked at me as he begged.

I looked very sad.

Then my mouth was twisted as if I was laughing at something.

I can't stand the laughter any longer. I duck my head down.

I grabbed Barbato's cheek with both hands. I put my palm gently into her skin, afraid of cracking. I slowly raised my head and brought my face closer to Barbato's.

And--I twisted my mouth and laughed.

“There is no future like that! Even if it is possible, I, this Dantalian, will not tolerate it! Run away! Run away! You have fallen, Barbatos! ”

Barvatos smiles with an evil smile in his eyes.

“It would be a big mistake if I could shine a light on everything under the aesthetic of happiness! Why are you so upset by the misfortunes of your loved ones? Do I look like Atlas with all the misery in the world? That's absurd!”

I grabbed Barbato's jaw. The tears around my eyes were so close that my eyebrows were trembling.

“That's what it looks like to be distracted by useless things - it's simple! There is only one reason to be here, and there has always been, and there will always be! You take responsibility for your actions! How can someone who can't even do that claim to be the king? ”

“However, Talian……. ”

I laughed out loud. Because I needed to laugh. Most humans kill things by anger and curse. But I kill with a smile.

Even 400,000 people who live and breathe did not stop me. I think 400,000 people would be able to stop me if I died. In other words, it was a pain in the phantom of being. The agony of not being able to bring me to my death, no matter how obvious, was ultimately defeated by me!

No wonder the visions were trying to invade me!

“You advised me to be king, Barbatos! ”

I stared at Barbato's eyes right in front of me.

“This is my answer. I will not be the king who only bears the responsibility of the living. I declare here that the lives I have killed, the lives I have slaughtered, all of them are my rightful subjects! ”

“Ahh, ahh…. ”

“Throw away your happiness and peace as a dog. ”

I took my hand from Barbato's jaw.

“The day after tomorrow. The execution takes place in Nibbleheim Square. It is entirely up to your testimony whether it will be your execution or the execution of a flat wave. You don't want Veled and Zephyr to die for your assassination. ”

“What's left for you...? ”

Are you worried about me and not yourself until this moment? She really had no choice.

I was too soft on the subject of being crueler than anyone else. That was your downside. Kings should have been equal. The lover, of course, eventually had to judge himself equally.

Those who did not are tyrants after all, Barbatos, you truly were the kindest tyrant in the world.

“Everything remains. ”

I was rather thankful for the visions. You're preventing me from going crazy even if I have to.

Because those visions completely stopped me from thinking about what I had done because I was so out of my mind that I had no idea what I was doing, that I was turning into such a ridiculous old psychopath.

Every time Jack cursed, Hawk cried and Pymon whispered, my mind became clearer and my mind became sharper. Surrender me for something else. For example, you've blocked all the flirtations Barbato has just given you.

Of course, depending on the angle of view, I might have been crazy. But everyone had a certain amount of insanity. The question was not whether they were crazy or not - whether they were defeated or not.

“Don't worry, Barbatos. The day after tomorrow, I'm the one holding the knife. There's no way I'm handing you over to someone else. I'll execute him with no excuses. ”

“ ……. ”

“Let us all take responsibility until the end. ”

I turned my back.

I also moved the gaze of the dead looking at me according to my gaze. I walked to the prison gate without hesitation. Behind you comes the sound of Barbato's tears.

“Dantalian, no... don't go... Please, Dantalian... ”

I think it was probably a cry cry cry.

I close the iron door tightly, as if I were cutting off the sound. The sound of iron resonates for a long time in the hallway of the prison. Daisy was quietly waiting for me in the hallway, just off the road.

“ ……. ”

I didn't like Daisy's expression. He had a similar feeling in his eyes as Barbatos. I slapped Daisy's left cheek because I didn't like it. Hate to say it, Daisy turned her head slightly back.

“From now on, you'll have to meet the rest of the Plain Demon Kings. You have a long way to go. What are you staring at me for? Lead the way, you idiot. ”

“Just one thing. ”

Daisy mutters.

“Tell me one thing, Father. ”

Her black eyes stare straight at me.

“The people who used to live in my village. Are the people of my village... shining a light on the people your father killed? ”

“Come on. It shines so well. You curse me with your eyes pierced and your mouth pierced with a spear blade. How are you? Are you happy now? ”

I raised my mouth.

“Do I have compassion now? Do you have any desire to forgive me? But in the end, your will is just that. It would be a big mistake to think you have the right to forgive their deaths. ”

I walked down the hall, dragging my cloak. Hearing the sound of my feet mixed with another muttering, I continued forward. Maybe it's because I admitted the shadows for a little while that they are talking nonsense today.

But it didn't mean anything.

I was here.
