Dungeon Defense (WN)

Step 4.

At this rate, I had to be certain that my father would be destroyed.

“I should have known...... why I didn't...... you were looking at the other one. There was only one place to look at the other person's face, so... ”

“The madman seems to be you, not me. ”

“How many are there! How many are there? ”

I was originally predicting your destruction subjectively enough. However, there was a stronger need for evidence. Confidence that I would not be shaken under any circumstance, I needed to be convinced that if I let things stand still, he would not be able to avoid destruction.

For example, he never slept with his girlfriends after killing Pymon. This symptom was like a prelude to destruction. That's why I tried to get proof by using provocation, "My father didn't love Pymon," but I felt a bit lacking.

In that sense, the Demon King Barbato was very good at it.

“Stupid Dantalian... There are torture tools in that corner..." What's getting in your way...? ”

He was having visions.

It was so amazing that I didn't even realize I was escorting my father all day. He hid his secrets so coldly. I was carelessly mesmerized by your restless spirit.

Thankfully, it was still work and time. My performance was still valid. I asked you one last time to face your father after I finished my conversation with Barbato.

“Tell me one thing, Father. Even the people who lived 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? ”

It was great.

From the king's point of view, people are nothing but garbage. Even those humans remember him well. The Demon King Barbato was right. I couldn't have killed her and kept him sane.

And...

Finally step five.

― ― Initiate action.

* * *

It was the day of the public execution.

First, I waited for all the Plain Demon Kings to be executed. I had no choice.

The Phantom Demon Kings will never forgive you for purging them. After the mountain tribes destroyed it, the plains were no longer of any use to us. It was better for everyone to die quietly.

Watching the demons' throats fly, I sighed in my heart. Well done.Your father's throne has become strong again....

Only Barbatos is left.

I overheard your father and Barbato having a sobbing conversation. And before taking a step, I looked up at the sky for a moment.

“ ……. ”

Beautiful sky.

The wind touched my cheeks lightly.

Occasionally, my father treated me kindly very occasionally. Every time I was afraid that the smoke would break. Corrosion to humans was not hate, but gentle comfort. I was more than aware of the latter.

Our stage was only established when the two of you were thoroughly defending their roles. He makes me hate myself. I hate you. People have to live in the world. Just like him, my father and I were the ones who had to live on stage.

Not to breathe, but to breathe.

Not because you can do something, but because you have to do something.

Put the earth on the stage. Make the sky a canopy.

It lures this world into our smoke.

What you need is the will of steel.

But so far, the play has been all about deceiving the audience. The first act is over, the clouds in the sky roll up and the second act rises. Here, even your father is deceived by something. Another tragedy is overwritten by the appearance of tragedy.

The title of the play is "Symphony for One Person Only."

I was confident my father would be utterly destroyed here.

And I was confident that I was the only one who could save him.

Two beliefs lifted me up like an arch pillar. This freed me from the command engraved on the slaver, the evil of gravity that overwhelms me, and lifted me up into the air. Now he couldn't stop me with any orders.

There you go.

Let's go. Come on.

With a step you can't miss.

Your father's blade falls down. While the heavy dagger was about to cut Barbato's throat, my toes struck his hand on the back with the correct angle and precise strength. The Great Sword flicks away.

He frowned in horror. The facial expression seemed strangely slow. Maybe now I was looking at him with the best concentration I could. Maybe that's why. I opened my mouth without a word.

“I'm sorry, Father. ”

“How dare...... you bitch...! ”

“I've thought about it many times. ”

He was tasting the frustration of betrayal. In a sense, I was the person he trusted the most. No matter what, your father would never betray you like this.

That's why I had the best moment.

“Many nights. I thought about it for a time that I couldn't even fathom. ”

Do I really have to stop him like this?

Even if his guilt is crushed and he destroys himself, that would be a legitimate end. Maybe he chose to greet them himself. Even if I distort it and twist it, is that really okay?

But...

“It's clear now. ”

I'm not convinced.

I'm just as selfish as my father. Just as I selfishly yearn for my father to bear his burden and fall, I selfishly yearn for my father to bear his burden and fall.

So.

“I'm stopping you. ”

I summoned the Great Sword into my hands. Earlier, I fully embraced the Black Lord Baal's will. Somehow this object recognized me as its owner. Well, if it was natural, it was natural.

“My name is Daisy von Coustos. ”

Because I am your only heir.

“All my life, Demon King Dantalian. From now on, I will stop you. ”

It is because he is superior to anyone except one person.

The stage is quiet.

The appearance of a new lead actor overwhelmed the audience. The heavy silence settles, and people look at this side with an ominous gesture of silence. I could feel it without looking. What's going on? What's going to happen now...?

My father stared at me terribly. The father first asked the Demon Kings to understand a few words, and then he came face to face with me. My eyes darkened like the ground beneath the well.

“Four years. You want to die in a place like this? ”

“I never wanted to kill myself. ”

It was important from here.

I have to give my father the illusion. It provokes uncontrollable anger in his mind, causing a misjudgment. To that end, I deliberately laughed. Unlike him, he shouted in anger.

“New orders! Exclude Barbatos from all further orders! Do not treat Barbados as my lover in command! So hand over the sword immediately, punk! ”

My heart tightened with pain.

But it was not a great deal of pain. I was able to hold on long enough. The convictions I had prepared had overcome my father's orders. 'If I lay down my sword now and give up my plan, I cannot stop my father's destruction,' the judgment eased my pain.

It's good.

I can do it.

I made fun of my father with a joke in my eyes.

“At first it was the De Farnese Military Register. ”

“…… what nonsense. ”

“Laura de Farnese. Your father's favorite young lady. Did you forget?”

Changes the original situation to a completely different scenario.

However, no one can prove that what I say is false.

No evidence, no witnesses. There is nothing to expose the lie to. The truth that actually happened, the lie that I am about to produce, both in a completely contradictory way.

Perfect screenplay.

Now that my father believes me, this is how I will cover up my lies and take my place.

So I'm deceiving you.

“Don't you think that's strange? The military secretary liked me. But at some point, I was alert, reluctant, trying to catch up. Did you think the Military Register would harass me, your stepdaughter, for no reason at all? ”

Fooled.

“I was ashamed to forget such a simple fact for a moment. Laura de Farnese, the Armed Forces Minister, crying out in front of me, is the lover of the Demon King Barbato. ”

Fooled.

“Barbatos received an urgent warning from someone. Beware of the Demon King Pymon. He will kill you if you keep going. Barbatos heard this warning, so he moved to get rid of Pymon. ”

Fooled.

“Yes. The Armed Forces issued a warning to Barbatos. It looks like Pymon tried to kill your father. Please be careful. ”

Your father.

I deceive you, whom I care about the most.

I raised my sword straight and roared toward the world.

“I hereby declare, You did not destroy Laura de Farnese. It's your illusion. The person who caused the collapse is Daisy von Custos, not you, and therefore you have no right or right to be responsible for it! ”

Please believe me.

Stop blaming yourself, and pour your anger, your resentment, your curse, all on me.

If you want to be the Devil of the World.

I will remain your only demon.

“ ……. ”

And I saw great malice emanate from his eyes. At this moment, he must have hated me more than anyone else.

- The heart was a sin.

It wasn't because of the slavers. Something else grabbed my chest lightly. However, despite the pain, I acted meticulously, expressionlessly, and ridiculously.

“There is still one last choice left. I'll kill your bitch. ”

“ ……. ”

“Then I will be able to take responsibility for everything again. ”

Once again, my heart skipped a beat.

I could feel my face distorted right now. You shouldn't have done that. It was all over. I twisted my mouth to hide my face. However, I couldn't help but feel my lips tremble.

“I knew you would say that, Father. That's exactly what I wanted. I finally made it here. I wish my humiliation and my pain were all for this moment. ”

And as planned, Luke makes a commotion in the square.

The Neutral Demon Kings were taken away from the square for a moment. I aimed for the breach to disable the Neutral Wayward Kings. It was not difficult to use the chaos that was predicted in advance.

My father shouted while using evil.

“My orders! Knock yourself out, Daisy! ”

My heart cries out in agony.

But I endured it again. It was painful enough to break my knee, but I endured it. I felt like I was going to shed tears, but I suppressed it. I wanted to tell my father the truth and ask him to forgive me, but I cut off the soldier's heart calmly.

Never.

I could never surrender here.

My death could not tolerate your destruction.

So I desperately smiled and told my father.

“I'm sorry ― ― we can't obey that order. Father."
