Hero without Blood or Tear

* * *

Four days ago.

It was the night we talked about the mystery of the emperor and the meaning of reconciliation. I was pretty disappointed at the time.

Of course, the emperor was also important, but he was confident that a dark organization would contact him. But the sentimental news. I missed my prediction.

“You don't care if the Guardian is dead? ”

Isn't he in a hurry? I didn't really understand the opponent. There's a guy here who says he's going to open a seal, but he needs a reaction, whether he's negotiating or trying to kill it.

“Hnng... ”

The user tries to contact the target first, so it seems like the target is trying to seduce it, so the user decides to hold out for a while. However, I felt uncomfortable lying in bed because I couldn't hide my feelings.

“That sucks.”

I turned around for a long time and fell asleep, but when it was deep night, something came to me secretly.

The important guest was coming through the darkness.

“This place...? ”

When I woke up and looked around, the environment changed except for the bed. A black mountain surrounds the distance like a hurricane, and an orange light source makes the ridge silhouette stand out from beyond the mountain.

It was filled with the filthy smell of sulfur gas that forced me to block my nose.

Kuaang!

Just like the geyser explosion at Yellowstone National Park in the United States, small lakes were exploding nearby.

Shhh!

Suddenly, he grunts, pulling the hair from his cheeks, soaking in the rain.

“I don't know who invited you, but you've chosen a place that's quite unfortunate. ”

As I got out of bed kicking my tongue, I heard an answer shortly.

“I'm sorry. I've chosen an environment that humans can tolerate. ”

“But you didn't say you wanted to take a bath. ”

The user shrugs at the target unseen. Suddenly, I was kidnapped to a strange dimension, but I was weak. After experiencing all sorts of contributions, I am now ready to do so.

“Show yourself. ”

As I tapped the rolling bones around me, there appeared to be a huge presence in the air. At first, it was a small lump of flesh, which swelled up like it was about to burst and filled its surroundings.

It looked like numerous tentacles were sprawling out all around like sunlight around a rounded mass with a bizarre nose.

“Son of a star. ”

“Yes, I am the Grand Chamberlain of Death. ”

“I wondered why he didn't show up. ”

“I've always wanted to meet you. ”

I spread my arms wide as if to do what I wanted.

“What do you want? Combat? Negotiation? ”

His tentacles whirled around my body like waves in my attitude that it didn't matter. What kind of emotional expression is that?

Strangers were unusual in appearance and had different emotions or thoughts than humans, so even those with experience like me could not understand them.

“... is negotiation. Fighting you will be chaos. ”

“I told you beforehand, I don't intend to stop unsealing it. ”

“Why?”

“You know this body is backed by someone crouching in the grave. The one crouching in the grave commanded," Unseal and bring forth the struggling death. "”

I emphasized that this can't be helped.

“If you disobey, the one crouching in the grave will destroy Likentiatus." ”

“If you want to stop, I guarantee you another dimension of migration. With enough reward. ”

“No way. ”

If Likentiatus is destroyed and moved to another dimension, he will be very happy. I don't want to spend my life feeling uneasy.

“Why? That's a reasonable offer. ”

It's not worth the effort. He won't understand my obsession with happy endings.

“I explicitly refuse. I have a proposition for you here. ”

“I hear you.”

“The problem with unsealing is that the struggling death is unable to face the one crouching in the grave? ”

“Don't compare him to that garbage! ”

The Grand Chamberlain, who had a relatively polite attitude, suddenly exploded. The tentacles of the whole body become stiff and there are numerous nostrils that hang on the body as a whole. But even with such a threat, I didn't shake at all.

“Why don't you let me come with you to the table? I'm thirsty, but I don't have any wine. ”

“I've never seen a human like this before.... ”

He looks stunned, even if he poses a threat and doesn't make a move. A number of tentacles of the stiff Grand Chamberlain stretch like a weak amniotic fluid.

“Well, it's not too late to be disappointed. Take my offer first. ”

“Speak.”

“Even if the seal is broken, it's okay if the struggling death can compete with the crouching in the grave, right? ”

“Yes! Our great master will not be defeated by such an outcast. ”

The Grand Chamberlain felt the same way about the Cultists.

“Very well. Then I have a plan. that will allow your master to regain his power. ”

“Really?"

“Of course. Huh-huh-huh. I cut open the blood of the waves, and now I have to help you with my heart's content. ”

Not for free, of course.

I've drawn a line that I need to check before that.

“What do you want to know? ”

“The jewel of eternity. ”

As soon as you bring it out, you can feel the opposing Pokémon flinch.

“Why do you want to know that? ”

“That's a tough reaction. There's no need for that. We already know that the struggling death is sealed with the jewels of eternity. ”

Farr.

There were many tentacles trembling enough to see. I felt a clear fluctuation.

“Who told you that? ”

“Does it matter? Honestly, it's not predictable for someone with insight. Anyway, that's not what I was wondering. Don't you need to be afraid of the Seal of the Scrambling Death when you have the Gem of Eternity? ”

An Eternal Jewel must be inserted into the Dark Crown to unleash its true power. But I'm pretty sure she's got a lot of power, too. And so did the suspicious power of Aquila.

“Grrr……. ”

The Grand Chamberlain blurted out no answer. It was a deep thought.

“If you don't tell me exactly, there will be no negotiation. What are you going to say without even saying it? Just go away. It's your fault you didn't even hear my offer. ”

“… good. I'll tell you what. Those jewels are sealed. ”

“Seal?”

“Yes, I was hiding my powers, so I didn't get caught. ”

“Aha. I heard it was strange. Even if you have the jewels of eternity, you won't be seen until you're sealed. How many do you have? ”

“I can't tell you that. ”

“You'll have to tell me. ”

Adding pressure, he hears the proposal and decides.

“Good. I'll give you two things first. First, I give you the body guarded by the dragon Schwarzetoifel. ”

“As expected. It is also the part we desperately want. ”

“I know you're struggling to steal it. Negotiate with me and you'll get it smoothly. ”

“What else do you propose? ”

“I know it won't be easy to deal with someone crouching in the grave just by getting their body cut off. ”

“ ……. ”

Seeing the silence, you really don't want to admit it.

“So I'm going to offer you something very tempting. An intact corpse from the Dark Army. ”

“What!”

“I'm not kidding. I'll give you the remains of the sticky plague. ”

“Really! Now I see! The ruins you dug up in Liechtenstein were a sticky plague! ”

I see you've been collecting this information thoroughly.

“Yes. I'll tell you in advance it's impossible to take it by force. Dozens of Giants and Elven Wizards are guarding it. ”

It was somewhat more difficult to penetrate than Schwarzetoifel. If we're going to attack there, we're going to have to mobilize the troops, and I'm going to shut them down in advance.

“Grrrrrrrrr…. Of course. The physical method must have passed. ”

“What do you think? If you absorb the dismembered body and the sticky plague, you won't have to be afraid of loosening the seal. ”

“Are you afraid? No, you want to be set free! ”

I summoned the boiling abyss to deal with the last sticky plague. Then the boiling abyss left without absorbing the sticky plague.

It's because of the kind of commitment I made with you. So I was able to present the remaining sticky plague as a negotiation card.

“Then show your willingness to negotiate. Grand Chamberlain.”

I was clear. that I would not proceed without my last name. The opposing Pokémon ponders and finally reveals itself.

“He has three jewels of eternal life. ”

From what I hear, there are five jewels in total. If so, it's approximately an Angler....

There are three deaths, and one in the golden cup Beowulf mentioned. I wonder where the other one is, and the main suspect is Aquila.

Aquila may have tricked one of them because she was working with a con man in Noumidia.

“Three. ”

“I'll give you another one. To show that we are strongly committed to this deal. ”

“What is it?”

“Soon the Emperor of the Empire will raid Mahdragon Schwarzetoifel. ”

That said, I kicked my tongue.

“You tried to use the Emperor to get your bodies cut off? ”

“Yes. But your offer has rendered me useless. ”

The poor emperor was thrown out before he even tried to scheme. You're out of your mind.

“I knew the Emperor was hiding something, but I didn't think he'd try to kill Schwarzee's inspiration. I have to deal with it..."

“Leave that to us and we'll make things smooth. ”

“How? ”

“On the day the Emperor attacks, let the dragon retreat moderately. ”

“Let the Emperor be an incarnation? ”

The Grand Chamberlain explained in a hurry as he raised one eye in curiosity.

“Being incarnate means completely dependent on the body. even if they start out as separate beings or have separate personalities. ”

“You can do whatever you want, you know? ”

“Yes. The Emperor does not know yet. The incarnation is the complete attribute of the struggling death. ”

In other words, the struggling death would absorb the emperor and end him immediately.

“Wouldn't that be convenient for each other? The emperor is a dragon leader. You don't know what you're going to do if you try to physically kill him. Wouldn't it be easier to absorb it after becoming an incarnate? ”

“Obviously…. We'll be beaten without knowing anything. ”

My head nodded. Kyoto Samgul 1), it is unpredictable what the emperor will do if he gets stuck.

However, there is a weakness in emperors, so they do not know much about the spiritual beings or beyond the material system. You seem to be incarnated and eager to gain unlimited power, but you don't seem to be considering the penalty.

Over there, I was going to suck it like a straw into an unnecessary emperor's drink anyway. But a good dragon. It'll be delicious.

“Good, I like it very much. ”

I couldn't hide my satisfaction. Even the smell of sulfur gas now felt refreshing.

Of course, I don't want the struggling death to wake up and be unilaterally given to those crouching in the grave. Ideally, it would be better if you were cute.

Now that the struggling death will be freed from its seal, there must be a cosmic monstrous battle. It's too bad there are no popcorn in this world.

“I have one condition. ”

“What?”

“I want to be sponsored by the struggling death. ”

“Khh……. ”

The Grand Chamberlain was embarrassed as if he had never thought of it. Then he shoots them with a scolding tone.

“You're already sponsored by another Transcensor, aren't you? ”

“I can afford more. ”

The copy of programmatic Mortis frees you from the one crouching in the grave. One of your sponsorship slots is empty, so let's fill it up.

It's not like this is going to stop the sponsorship.... If you lose one hand, fill it up again. I think I'm really just getting away with it.

“Amazing! This is amazing! They're preying on the transcendents of mortal themes! ”

It's like, an ant looks at an elephant and says, "Hey, asshole. Give me what you have!” I was threatening everywhere. "

“That's a pretty thing to say, isn't it? You must be getting some help. ”

“A little help?! Grrr!”

The opposing Pokémon is absurd or unrelated. I need to get what I want. However, I was going to make one clear condition regarding this sponsorship. It was a condition that I would continue to sponsor any changes in the future.

“This patronage must last forever. Also, as long as this body struggles with death and enmity, the sponsorship must not cease. ”

“There are no such crazy conditions in the world! ”

That's a natural reaction. If these conditions are met, he'll have to back me up even if I attack him in the future.

“Quit it if you don't want to. I don't want to be vaguely backed up by political changes. I actually struggled with the one crouching in the grave. ”

“Even so, this condition is too much! ”

“If you look at the entire universe, you have a lot of support, don't you think? I promise one of them eternal support. ”

I know that words are a ridiculous condition. Sponsorship is not one-sided. This relationship is exchanged. Instead of giving strength, this side should serve.

But there is no such thing as eternal patronage. Only one side will be granted indefinitely. The point is, he can't cut the sponsorship no matter how hard he strikes. And no matter what death demanded, I couldn't ignore it.

“Too many conditions! ”

The opposing team still refuses, but it doesn't matter.

“Quit it if you don't want to. Take the seal off and kill the one crouching in the grave. ”

“Even so! ”

The opponent is a great army of darkness, and it doesn't matter if he is the greatest cosmic being among them.

I'm the one holding on to my life.

“Grand Chamberlain. That doesn't make any sense. I'll change the terms. Give eternal support to two people. ”

“What?"

The opposing Pokémon's eyes seem to be tearing apart. But I still can't make a conclusion, so I'm going to stretch my three fingers....

“Halt!”

I was so embarrassed that I stretched all the tentacles this way. I had a peculiar stubbornness to that look.

“Why? Say no if you don't want to. ”

This side still has a lot of fingers to spread.
