Dungeon Defense (WN)

I had a very old dream.

I couldn't clearly remember what I was dreaming about. It's been so long since I've slept. It's been a long time since I've slept and had nightmares. I felt like I had never been in a dream before.

The only landscape that comes to mind is white.

I sat in the middle of the endless white. I waited for something. I didn't move a muscle. There was no wind in the white space. Maybe air. Maybe there was light, but it was never sunlight, and it was closer to the pale color of mercury.

I know.

This is my image of death.

It wasn't something, and it wasn't nothing. Only waiting was given. This was my answer.

― ― ―.

― ― ― ― ―?

― ―, ― ― ― ― ―.

I opened my mouth and said something.

What I said in my dream, I didn't understand. I didn't even know if I needed to understand. to make sure that there was no sound coming out of this place.

Without even being allowed to disappear.

I was just sitting there buried in white.

Deep relief in the unknown.

Relieved?

What are you relieved of?

No, more than that.

…… what are you relieved of?

“Why don't you get up. ”

I opened my eyes.

It was weird. I was opening my eyes and then I woke up again. Right in front of me. The edges were very wet. There was cold steam embedded in my skull, just like the winter window.

I blinked my eyelid several times. Rarely, the blurry frost did not disappear. Even my hearing was somewhat dull. You hear a voice beyond the dull senses. No, it was more of a sigh than a voice.

“Phew. Idiot. ”

Idiot.

It was a little harsh.

Personally, I preferred pathogenicity over pathogenicity. The god of the plague. How fascinating. Even though I changed my mind, my nuance was completely different. An evil spirit of illness, or a ghost of illness. It was my taste.

Then.

Gaaaah!

“ ……!? ”

I was frightened and had an upper body. The frighteningly cold water slammed across his face. The cold water raped my nostrils and my mouth. It wasn't once either. Twice. Two consecutive walks of cold water.

“What a dump!? ”

I cried, rubbing my face, when I was all baptized with ice water. Tears and nostrils were flowing, unable to adapt to sudden changes in temperature. As your whole body twists in agony, a laughter of laughter rises from your side.

Barbatos.

She grabbed my belly button and touched me. My hands were trembling with laughter. I wipe my nose with a blanket and scream.

“What the hell, you poor bastard! ”

“He's smiling because he sees the idiot shudder. Why not? ”

“I need to make a physical decision with you! ”

“What is the weakest fruit fly buttocks of the Demon King? Rule.”

I shuddered. I'm not a fucking bitch. I've been reunited for hundreds of years, and in less than a minute, I uttered three swearing words in a row, even idiots and assholes. I've never seen such an evil woman before.

Yesterday it was soft.

“ ……. ”

Suddenly, I was speechless. When yesterday came to mind, I felt like my face was going to turn red without knowing it.

For some reason, I hung on Barbatos and cried like a child. I literally cried until I fell down. Barbato just stroked my head with a smile. I had never cried so loudly in my life, but it was the fault of my life that I was so foolish to Barbatos.

“Huh?”

Barbatos shudders at my silence.

“Dantalian? Are you cold, Dantalian? Why the sudden silence? Ugh, it's not that cute that you're blushing like a new color. So why the sudden panic? ”

“Shut up.”

“Uzzou, Uzzou, Uzzou. Are our Dantalian children angry? Is that why you're so angry? Do you want some stew, Barbato? Is my baby's favorite milk too tired? ”

I threw down my pillow as I was pressed. The cotton pillow gently hits Barbato's abdomen. The damage is immeasurable. Instead, Barbatos has been scolding the town for a long time and has been casting a dainty taunt.

The problem was that this provocation really worked. My heart was boiling. She must have lost even though she lost an enemy in her previous life. Be reclaimed. Be reclaimed. Not enough for an 8-bit spanking.

Even with laughter, however, there was a limit.

As the overheated air slowly cools, there is no conversation between us. The unpleasant silence settled. The warmth completely flowed from me.

“ ……. ”

Barbato looked at me.

Her eyes were waiting for me to open my mouth. What can I say? Where do I start? I heard Barbatos was most certainly executed. How the hell did she get here?

Why it took me almost 200 years to get there.

The detail of the lining was unknown, but the contours were generally blurred. The Decapitated Demon King's Horn supports your guess. Such a conjecture. With such a hypothesis accepted...... I wonder what I can say to her.

I opened my mouth.

“Why are you here? ”

It wasn't a question. It was an attack.

Not how you came, but why you came. The nuance of not coming, the nuance of not wanting to come, was strong. Barbatos clearly understands that, but he grins with a completely unabashed face.

“Wherever I go, it's my heart. ”

“...... Ivar made a mistake. I was relieved that I was doing well, but I made a ridiculous mistake. I can't believe I let you in on my secret. Besides, I can't believe they let you go free. ”

I was indirectly attacking Barbatos while denouncing Ivar.

“I'm sorry, but I need you to leave. You'd better run away if you can. As soon as you leave, I'll use all available contacts to alert Ivar. Right now…… ”

“I'm going to die soon. ”

I kept my mouth shut.

Barbato speaks in a peaceful tone.

“Ivar or something, your man is a real pain in the ass. I can't do magic anymore. No, magic isn't much magic left in the body. Let's say it's almost like a piece of garbage. It's nice to have Mana around naturally, but it's also engraved with an imprint. ”

“ ……. ”

“Ten years? ”

Barbato smiles.

“Dantalian. There's a woman who's going to fall apart no matter what you do...... Can we just stay here a little longer, please?" ”

I couldn't answer.

There were only a few implications. Ivar would have suffocated Barbato. Even the ability to take away magic and magic and control his subordinates was sealed, leaving only one humble body. Of course, he only gave me information about my existence, and he wouldn't have left any advice on where I would be.

Just one body. Barbato leans on it. For two hundred years, I traveled around this continent without any information....

“…… but… ”

I shouldn't have allowed you to stay here.

Dantalian is dead. The rest of the people here are merely ghosts. It was impossible to come and spend any extra time with Barbato now. Besides, I had a big problem.

“Are you worried you're going to die soon, Dantalian? ”

“ ……. ”

Yes, it is.

I never wanted to admit it, but I faced psychological limitations.

If Barbato hadn't come, he might have fallen asleep on the wall forever. Even just before Barbatos knocked on the door, I felt that death was really near. The sensation was slightly distant, but it was still tickling this side of my back.

Barbato said 10 years is a long time.

I won't last years as long as it takes.

When I was unconscious, when I fell asleep, I would stab myself unconsciously one day. Or the consciousness might refuse to work anymore and go to sleep. I was already at my limit…….

You die alone.

I didn't want to show it to others It was to pass the responsibility on to the other in some way. Anyone who saw someone's death had to remember and accept it. I didn't want to force that weight on others.

“I'll only be a year. ”

Barbatos suggests he has a hunch on all of this inside.

“A year? ”

“Yes. Honestly, I'm exhausted. Let's say you've traveled the continent for 200 years. Aren't you feeling a little weak? Please take a little break and let's go. Huh?”

“ ……. ”

I wonder if I'll last a year.

Barbatos has suffered for 200 years, only by wanting to meet me. Giving it a year's grace. To be able to stay with me for a while and let go. That's a reasonable permission.

I sat quietly, unable to decide the answer. Then Barbatos takes a light step somewhere. When I saw where she was headed, I realized, "Oh no."

“Hey, Dantalian. What is this?”

“Uh-huh. That's so... ”

“Hmmm? If I'm not mistaken, it looks like me. ”

There were numerous portraits and portraits of one person hanging from Barbato's point of view. Smiley face, sad face, and expressionless face. Leading thousands of troops and standing on the plains alone.

What to hide. It was all a painting of Barbatos.

There were many portraits in the mansion besides her, but Barbatos' portraits were poisonous. There was no other reason. It's just that Barbatos was the most expressive. Really! There was no other reason.

“Hmmm. Hmph. Hmm?"

However, she looked at the portrait with a proud look at what she was mistaken for. I wanted to make excuses, but I gave up. Whatever you said must have sounded disgusting. Barbatos grins with a sly smile.

“Wow. You look just like me. I can feel the affection in the painting. Yeah, yeah. The painter who painted this must have been crazy to want to see the main character of the portrait. ”

“…… the illusion is free. ”

“Really? I've been wanting to see you. ”

You're bluffing.

Barbatos throws an embarrassing note at you sometimes. I was speechless again. Barbatos walks towards me like that. I accidentally stepped out of the rear of my feet, because I felt an unusual frown.

Bang, and hit my back against the wall. I had nowhere else to turn.

Barbatos approaches and grabs my chest. A fresh scent wrapped around my nose. The scent of Barbatos. She gives me a big smile as she pushes her face closer. There are golden eyes there, aiming for the prey.

A real beast.

“Stay away from me, you idiot. ”

“I, I'm not flirting." ”

Barbato tugs at your chest. My face went down without a chance to refuse. Slightly, the soft touch touched my lips. Immediately, her tongue violently invades this side.

“Urgh... ugh, ugh! ”

There was no forgiveness.

The joke continued to make my head dizzy. I slowly crumbled to the floor of the room, unable to overcome the weight. Barbatos boarded me. The eyes gleam with the beast's desire.

“Phaa.”

Then Barbato takes his breath away. Thank you for eating. I felt that kind of energy on my face.

I stumble upon Barbatos with my ass.

“Now, wait a minute. Hold on, Barbato. I haven't done that in 200 years. Probably not. Never stop. Don't embarrass me for no reason, but let us drink tea with our missons and tell stories about our past that we haven't solved...! ”

“Shut up, pig. Tea is a bitch.”

Barbato chuckles.

“Speaking of which, let's eat. ”

“Rape! This is rape! ”

“If it's unfair, call the elite guard. Khh, it's been 200 years. I thought I was going to die. Thank you very much. ”

It's been eaten.
