Dungeon Defense (WN)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The heart of the 10th floor underground of Marathon Castle.

Laffith Lazuli was defending his position as usual. The office assigned to the State Department constantly reported for as little as 20 minutes and as long as an hour. Today, the architects in charge of building Marathon Castle visited the office.

“I'm still getting ready for the ceremony, but I'm still getting it done. ”

“Thank you for your hard work. ”

“No, no. Serving the Great Demon King is the joy of the servants. ”

Five or six Dwarves and Goblins smile.

The construction, which had been brought up for almost seven years, finally came to the end. In fact, the construction itself has already been completed. Even though a masterpiece of this magnificent work would have required a pyrotechnics, Dwarves and Goblins were about to open the most spectacular ceremony of all time.

“Hey, boss. No matter who will attend the ceremony... ”

“I would like to invite some friends of His Holiness Dantalian. King Marvas, King Citri, King Gamejin, and all the other fools and apostles will attend. You can count on it."

The architects' faces brightened.

For them, the ceremony was a kind of organ and stage. They were able to raise their ransom by alerting them of how cool and remarkable their architecture was. Long-term boasting was the best I could do in front of the high ranks. I was satisfied with Marvas, Citri, Garmigin, and Basego so much that I didn't have anything else to hope for.

“Thank you. Thank you, boss! ”

“You're welcome.”

Laffith Lazuli took out a heavy bag of money and gave it to the Dwarf.

“There's still a ceremony left, but it's just entertainment. As of today, you have completed your mission. Go up to the territory and relax. ”

“Oh…! ”

It was a so-called hardship.

The pouch was quite heavy. Architects worked with Lapis Lazuli for seven years. She used to be a fiercely weathered woman who squeezed her abilities, but she was hot enough to lower her sashimi. It's hard to watch the frustration.

“It's been a while since I've had a nosebleed! ”

“If you're not too busy, I suggest you go with the servants. We still have to treat you once... Heheh. ”

“I'm fine.”

Laffith Lazuli shakes his head.

“With me, you won't be able to rest. And I still have work to do. ”

“Haha. That can't be right. We're sorry to hear that. ”

The Dwarves and Goblins roast beautifully. Laffith Lazuli is their superior and customer. He was a great man to take care of. There was nothing pleasant to do with such a person, but I suggested it in a polite manner. Laffith Lajuli also politely refused.

“Then the servants will stand down. ”

“Yes, take a look. ”

The architects leave Ur's office.

As the uproar subsides, the air settles steadily. Lapis Lazuli sat on a chair and processed the paperwork as it was. On behalf of Dantalian, he wrote his name on the signature field, and it was mechanically and accurately stamped to signify authorization from the State Department.

“ ……. ”

I took care of all the paperwork today.

Laffith Lazuli looked at the documents quietly. She stared at the pile of paperwork for a while and admitted that staying quiet would prevent someone from flashing and delivering a new batch.

‘You said the Castle of the Dead was complete. ’

Laffith Lazuli rises. She arranges her outfit neatly like a habit. Now that I was as familiar as my body, I thought maybe I was born conquered from birth.

‘I don't remember being born. ’

Laffith Lazuli walks down the corridor of Castle Marwan.

Her footsteps had a constant rhythm. With his back straight and his shoulders steady, Lazuli looks forward. If the Dantalians appear in front of you, you can stop right now and greet them with some respect.

‘My mother abandoned me on the 11th day of my life. ’

Banin Banma.

Even though Dantalian's policies have eased the hierarchy and slavery, when Laffith Lajuli was born, each tribe had a distinct identity. Among them, the half-breed did not belong to any tribe or tribe.

Untouchable citizens.

As soon as I was born, I was abandoned by my mother. The Circus Tribe has made every effort to allow Lapis Lajuli to live in the village. Of course, I only gave my permission. Lapis Lazuli hugged a hungry stomach from childhood and begged around alleyways, alleys, houses and houses.

‘ ……. ’

One day, Lapis Lazuli opened his eyes at the bottom of the road.

I don't remember why I lost my mind. But my head was sticky. I gently touched it with my finger, and it was stiff. Laffith Lazuli knows that he passed out after someone threw a stone.

‘I have to live.'

That's how Lazuli decided.

I left the town and entered the city by mistake. Laffith Lazuli survived by getting his hands on all sorts of dirt and mischief. Laffith Lazuli went to congress without hesitation when he recruited talent in Kunkusa regardless of rank.

‘Dirty whore. I don't know why he didn't kill himself. ’

"The Circus Bitch. ’

‘You were abandoned by your mother and father. ’

Of course, there was also discrimination and contempt.

Laffith Lajuli spits on the floor as he walks around the commercial building. Among them, there were many lower-class people who were directly above the people. But Lapis Lazuli did not flinch.

Opportunity

One day, opportunity will come.

Revenge on those who despise themselves ― I never thought I'd have such an idea at one time. But from some point on, it didn't matter. Laffith Lazuli just wanted to prove his innocence. It was not even clear what to prove. I just thought I had something to prove to myself.

vague opportunity.

It comes after a long wait.

"Nice to meet you, Dantalian. Lapis Lajuli of the Kunkusa Parliament. ’

Whoa, whoa, whoa. ’

‘The deal between Dantalian and Kunkusa is my sole responsibility. Thank you very much. "

Laffith Lazuli stops in the middle of the hall.

She placed her palm against a marble-finished hallway wall. It was cold. It was cold. Luxurious corridors. Laffith Lajuli is more accustomed to a clumsy cave than this.

"I'm sorry, Dantalian. Excuse me, I have to tell you, ’

‘Tell me……. ’

‘This is the first dungeon I've seen in my short magic. ’

Everything changed in eight years.

Lapis Lazuli became a national secretary of state at the bottom of the Kunkusa Parliament. In his time, he was in charge of the Habsburg Empire on behalf of Dantalian. As soon as the Grand Dukes saw her, they politely shook her hand, and even Ivar Lothbrok, who was once a coward, bowed his head to her.

‘Lapis. Let's show them. Proud of the weak.’

The pride of the weak.

Dantalian kept his promise to her.

You leveled Brandenburg over the Black Mountains, subjugated Habsburg, and subjugated Frank and Sardinia. All the strongmen on the continent and the horse system knelt before the Dantalians. And by Dantalian's side, Lapis Lajuli, she was always standing silently…….

I could have thrown it away.

It could have been a metaphor for more talented, bloated talent.

But Dantalian never did. I have never ignored Lapis Lajuli. If anyone insults Lapis Lazuli in any way, Dantalian immediately decapitates him and throws him to the dogs.

“State Department.”

I suddenly heard a voice.

Laffith Lazuli looks back, and Jeremy's Vigilante stands over him.

“We're all set up here. You're coming with me to the State Department. ”

“Well done, Vigilante. ”

Laffith Lazuli nods.

“But this is where I belong. ”

“…… I'm ready. When it's time, here, collapse? ”

“Vigilante.”

Laffith Lazuli said dry.

“This is where I belong. ”

“ ……. ”

Jeremy spills smoke into the air.

She lowers her waist deeply to show the other person the utmost respect. Jeremy looks cold, unlike usual. Her true face is that she has no face at all. Jeremy lowers his waist in earnest.

“After seeing the State Department, I was comforted enough. Thank you for your time.”

“Take good care of the territory, Vigilante. Always be with Lord Parsi. ”

“Yes…… with my life. ”

Then Jeremy disappears across the hall.

Laffith Lazuli heads to the other side. After a while, a vast throne room appeared. On either side of the throne room is the flag that symbolizes the Demon King Dantalian for decades. A red rug was unfolded in the center, at the tip of which, of course, was the Dantalian throne.

“ ……. ”

Laffith Lazuli walks into the middle of the throne room.

I didn't hear any noise. There's silence everywhere. Even her footsteps are covered by rugs. Moving towards an empty throne, Lapis Lazuli thought of a man.

‘Lapis, the play failed. We failed... ’

‘You're going to take responsibility. ’

‘Yes.'

Soon I reached the throne.

Lapis Lajuli sits on the floor. She folds her arms slightly on the throne. Leaning back against it, Lapis Lazuli narrows his eyes.

‘I... I want you to live. Laffith. I forgot.... ’

‘That's impossible. ’

I heard a vibration from Kwung somewhere.

The entire castle was shaken. The last operation was begun. The wizards formed a semienchantment field across Marathon, and Jeremy-led assassination squads destroyed the core structures. The apocalypse was only a matter of time.

‘I can't forget Dantalian. ’

‘Lapis…… Lapis……. ’

"Sorry."

Please hold me accountable.

Laffith Lazuli buries his head a little more on the throne. I smelled something. I miss the smell. Since when did she become her favorite scent?

‘Dantalian. ’

Stone dust falls from the ceiling.

The flags fall on the marble floor. The cracking sound echoes strangely. The massive columns crack, and tiny stones and dirt bloom from all sides. The entire Castle was screaming. And the screams grew stronger.

Laffith Lazuli slowly closes his eyes.

‘Dantalian. However, the underground ten floors are too large. I think it's okay to reduce it a little bit. For example, yes. It's enough for the basement arm. ’

I miss you.

Dantalian smiles shyly at his question. It was only the naked face of Dantalian that only Lazuli could see.

‘That narrows things down for us. ’

"Yes?"

‘No, I mean. Uh, my castle. I do.’

Dantalian scratches his back head.

Laffith Lazuli must have seen the light redness of Dantalian's face. Such an unexpected answer caused her to lose her words. At that moment, she couldn't be more confident about what she looked like.

“ ……. ”

Laffith Lazuli smiles.

In the endless darkness, everything collapsed but was also quiet.

Very much.

Laffith Lazuli loved that silence.
