Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (Reboot)

133: The nucleus of the first demon king

(Yes, what did he just say...? Sho... the first demon king's... core...?

Unexpectedly, Lillin asked again if she had heard the wrong thing.

"As I have said many times, sleeping here is the core of Adams, who once built [the devil kingdom Haos] and became the first demon king..."

I snorted my teeth unexpectedly. I was unconsciously shaking my fist and trembling.

"You know that, right? No, there's no way you don't know. She... knows what Adams was called. And you know what her magic was like... right?

…………

I don't know... because Adams... he...

"Yes, she reigned as a magic stronger and nobler than anyone else. The name she used to call the Nightmare Queen was too unusual ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ That's right, Lillian of the" Sucubus "tribe, the bloodline who inherited her power?

Siuba is watching the conversation quietly because she knows.

However, Lillin stared at Xel as she was pointing at a reality she didn't want to admit.

I looked at it for a while, but I couldn't see the cloudiness in Xel's eyes, which was a lie, and she sighed.

"......... do you really have a sole here?

Ask about it as if it had subsided a little.

"Yeah, I'm sure it's real. I don't really understand the effects or why they're here, but... I'm sure they are."

"... I see."

"Miss...."

Siuba is obviously confused about how to speak to Lillian.

"... you said you knew where he was? Did you see it with your own eyes?

"Yeah, I'm good at finding things even if I look like this."

"Oh, so you were part of that family."

I thought I'd missed it, so I shook my shoulders.

Remembering that this man was a descendant of the clan even if he rotted, I'm sure he would be right to say so.

"But now we have a match. If the First Demon King's Core is really hidden here, they're definitely after it."

"Yes"

"Perhaps the demon king and his predecessors ordered it. I don't know what it will be used for, but it's decided not to be busy anyway. And it explains why I sent you here with Abyss the Spirit."

Avolos must have decided that spirits can use their power of sight to find their destination without hesitation.

"Would you like to find and capture him?

Siuba asks, but after some thought, she shakes her head sideways.

"No, just leave me alone."

"... are you sure?

Siuba pulled her shoulders slightly out of proportion to the unexpected response.

"Ah, yes, Abyss is a spiritual spirit, but... at least there's no substitute for those two. Well, if only it were" The First Demon King's Core. "

"I doubt it....."

Xel breathed lightly and closed his eyes as if stunned. Truth is, I trust it, but it was a response that I wanted to disperse even a little of the current chest irritation.

"Of course. I'm not showing any evidence. I can't be sure unless I actually see it with my own eyes."

Well, I thought you said that.

"But, miss, are they really not going to be able to get that Nucleus?

"Well, even if they had arrived by now..."

"Hey, Abis! What the hell is this?

Era Aura looked at the sight spreading in front of her and shouted with her mouth wide open. But Abyss, beside him, stood silently without saying anything.

"What the hell is going on? Why... why are there so many Nukes?!

What they were looking at now was an invisible area, such as an end, and there were countless beads of blue and black light floating in the universe.

"And why is the cave so big! What's going on here?

…………

"Hey, Abis! Why don't you just shut up and say something?

I am puzzled by this situation and feel frustrated by Abyss who desperately calls out but does not respond.

"Which one is the real" First Demon King's Core "? Temee, I'm a Seeing Species, so you'll see!

But Abis did not answer, and looked at the beads of light scattered in countless numbers.

And finally, one word...

"... this is amazing."

"Oh, what's going on?

"This is... no, that's the power of the first demon king..."

Abyss approached a bead and touched what he thought. It was easy to pick up.

"Oh, that's real!

"... no, no."

"Ah? But this is also a phantom, right? Then I'll touch it. Isn't that real?

Abis dropped the beads on the ground, and they shattered as if they had dropped glass balls.

"Extreme illusion is indistinguishable from reality. Control the spirit of the opponent and manipulate it as you wish. That's illusion. For example, now I want to touch the beads and touch them. And I could touch it."

……

It's hard for Era Aura, but she's leaning her neck. But ignore it and continue.

"But on the contrary..."

That's how I try to touch a bead, but this time it's cool and empty. It rubs through as if you were touching the video.

"If you touch it like this, thinking it's just a phantom, it becomes a phantom."

"... what the hell is going on?

"In other words, this is a space that reflects what we think in the illusion created by the real Nucleus."

"... hey, it's not that easy! You want me to give you the real thing!

Simply put, he is right, but the situation is more complicated.

"Look, even if you think the beads here are real, But is that really true?

"... hah?

"What I've got is maybe just a phantom that I wanted to be real..."

Still, Eela Aura doesn't know why and is jiotong.

"Making me think so, making me think that fakes are real is also part of the illusion. It seems like a world that moves exactly as we think, but we are in a phantom set up to make them think so."

"Nh ~ I don't know yet"

"I mean, it's almost impossible to find the real one."

"Oh, wow, you're stuck here! What about the power of the Spirit? It's useless!

Spirits aren't omnipotent either. There is something you can't see from the viewpoint of "seeing" even if you have an excellent ability. Breaking so many illusions will require the power to overturn common sense. "

The breath naturally leaks when you are stunned by too much space.

"The Fairy Leader and Spirit Leader levels will tell you something, but I can't."

"Ma, seriously...."

"This is clearly unexpected. No, Your Majesty probably knew this was going to happen."

"Huh? Why?

That's because Avolos said this before they went here.

For example, if you can get it, maybe you can get it.

That's what he said.

"I mean, your majesty may have come here once. So I fell into the same situation and abandoned crying. And I suppose you sent me here thinking that the Spirit was my power."

"Well, then Temee's mission failed. No, wait a minute. You should have been able to Nullify Magic in the first place, right? Then why can't this magic be nullified?

Most of the existence called the "High Spirit" possesses the ability of "Magic Nullification".

"Perhaps they have the power to disable the Magic Nullification. This illusion..."

"Oi, is that what this is about?!

"Yes, there is a category of magic called Absolute Magic."

"Well, what is that?

"Also known as Spirit Magic. Elaora, are you aware of Red Rain?

"Ah? It's not just that magic, it's the rain that nullifies the magic itself.

"Well, there's no doubt about that recognition, but the Spirit can use magic in the rain. Because the Spirit's magic has the effect of nullifying all interference. Even if it is" Magic Disabled, "it will be disabled before" Absolute Magic. "

"Hmm ~ I don't know, but why don't you use your magic to further neutralize the power to Nullify that Magic Nullification?

It's a little complicated to say, but you'll understand the logic. In other words, Era Aura says to invalidate this situation with Abyss' Spirit Magic and restore it.

"Possibly."

"Then hurry up...."

"But the Absolute Magic has its advantages and disadvantages."

Oh?

"Stronger forces can cause the phenomenon. I mean..."

…………

"Now I don't have the power to nullify this illusion."

"... hey, what is it? It's useless! Why are you crying like this?

Abyss says disgusting, but doesn't react to it at all, releasing his tongue.

"The ultimate goal is to identify goals and plan future measures. I wish I could get it, but I was able to gather it."

"So what do we do?

"Let's go home. Report to His Majesty and ask for instructions."

"... let's make it hard!

And they turned their heels before their eyes, and set aside the earth that was expanding wide.

Lilyn and Mikazuki were returning to the place where Xel was waiting.

"Miss, as I was told earlier, is it really okay to leave the Nuclear alone?

It was Siuba who asked Lillin, but it was Xel who answered.

"I'm sure it's okay. Remember I said I saw it right away?

Yeah, well...

"I don't think they can do anything about it. That's all. The power of Nucleus is abnormal."

"... are you on the left?"

Lillin and Xel didn't seem to care, so Siuba didn't want to pursue them any further.

"... well..."

Suddenly, Xel's eyes narrowed sharply and turned towards Shiuba.

"Just now..."

It seemed confusing for a moment why he changed the atmosphere, but Siuba nodded as she remembered.

"Dear Hiiro-sama..."

"Is it true that a boy named Hiiro... took part in the war by handling the sword I created in this world?

"... no doubt"

At that moment, Xel's face twisted as if it were inflicting pain. The expression also shows a lot of regret.

"... why did Zangeki go to war... does Zaf know about it?

Zaf is like a so-called apprentice he taught about the fundamentals of blacksmithing for about a week.

And he didn't like Xel being used to hurt people in the war, and he knew he was going around the world collecting his own weapons.

That's why, if Zaf knows such thoughts, he can't believe he gave Zangeki to someone who would rather participate in the war.

"Hiiro was originally an adventurer. Of course, I also told Zaf that I was asked to fight people. But of course, we didn't know that Hiiro-sama was going to join the war at that time."

"I see... I see... no, I see."

Because, as usual, the story of the journey was told by Siuba to Xel. The purpose of Japanese colour is simply to tour the world. And Lillin decided to root out her ambition by following the color of the day.

Even though it is rooting, it is to reach out to those who feel the hardship of living in this world, and to get help from the [place where everyone can enjoy] that we intend to build eventually. That's what brought me to Xel.

"But...."

Siuba says she likes the color of the sun and doesn't hurt people, but she is still unconvinced that Xel is painfully shadowing her expression.

"Well, why don't we meet once?

"... eh?... see you?

"Yes, so that you can feel the essence of a human being named Hiiro, rather than what we say verbally."

"Kuku, no matter how you guess, it's a man who's going to be fine on the diagonal. Even your current values are in danger of being crushed in an instant?

Lillin smiles as funny as a child, but it is somewhat dark. It's like I'm thinking of a prank. A man of such daily colour is immeasurable.

"... I didn't expect you to say that..."

Xel quietly closed his eyes when he exhaled a little. Apparently, he's thinking about giving himself ideas and answers.

Siuba whispers to Lillin to avoid Xel asking her.

"May I, my lady?

"What happened?

"Hiiro-sama was troubled to come here. Do you feel like you're getting the same answer again?

"No, because you didn't know the purpose of the eagle, did you?

"What about it?"

"He said that he would support me in my walrus dream... and that he would help me."

It seems that Siuba is silently overlooking Lily's cheeks being upset.

"Xel's solicitation is also about dreams. So, if you say so... maybe... yes, absolutely! Hyiro will definitely come here! If you don't come, I'll force you to come!

"... Miss, I feel like I'm going to end up falling..."

"Ugh, shut up! And if it's him....."

Lily sends a gaze to Xel, who is still thinking with her eyes closed.

"I think he's going to change the Xel."

"... yes, I think so too."

Siuba smiles gently and Lily closes her eyes again.

Next to her, Shamoe was kneeling and stroking her head. It feels like a mother and child, and in such a dim cave it feels like something else.

After a while, Xel raised her eyelids slowly.

Lily and the others pay attention to his intentions.

"... I see. I'll see you once. No, I want to see him..."

"Okay. Do you have a time limit?

"Yeah, I'm fine with tomorrow, right?

"Hmm... then you can come tomorrow at lunch."

Siuba nodded as if she had agreed. Similarly, Chamoe returns the same specs.

"I understand. I'll see you tomorrow."

When Xel said so, Lily and the others stood up and Siuba handed the cloth bag to Xel. It was a package that Mikazuki carried as a monster.

Thank you very much for this.

It was food brought as a souvenir to Xel. Xel smiled happily.

And Sheuba took Mikazuki, who was asleep, and walked out with him. I followed Lillin from behind.

"Have fun, Xel. Hiro's out of standard, right?

Last but not least, I'll leave the scene behind. Xel waved with a bitter smile.

Abis and Elaora reported what they had experienced in the [Shanjumon Cave] to Avolos, the ancestral demon king.

He was listening to it with a pleasant smile, but his eyebrows twitched as if there was something that bothered him.

"... were you there? The Red Rose?

Red Rose refers to Lillin. Abis affirms Avolos' question.

"Hmm, but why did you come here..." Red Rose "must have hated her. I wonder if it's like going all the way to the place with a bad feeling...?

"Isn't there some kind of blindness in there?

Eliaura communicates her thoughts.

"Yeah, there shouldn't be anyone there but the First Demon King's Core." There are monsters, but I don't think it's a good idea to raise the level anymore.... "

When Avolos thought about it while he was doing it in his jaw,

He said, "They had friends."

"Hmm? Companions? Could it be the boy in the red robe?

Referring to the sun colour, Abyss shook his head sideways.

"No, I wasn't there. And the Beast Man."

That place is where I showed my face.

"Hee, beast. Well, the boy seems to have a big face. Maybe he's one of them? Just so you know, what was it like?

"Yellow hair and costumes like overalls. And I did have a knife on my waist that emitted a strange atmosphere."

"... unusual?

"Yes, it's as cold as ice, but with a sword that makes you feel the heat of fire and creepiness."

"Yellow hair... creepy sword... and a beast...?

It echoes with bumps and looks up at the sky, happily opening his eyes a little.

(... no, I don't think so. There's no way that man is in the demonic world... No, on the contrary, it's the magic world, isn't it? If you want to hide behind it, [Shanjumon] is perfect for you...)

I thought so, but I shook my head to the side.

(No, if so, I wonder if that man would ever show up. Perhaps it was that man who made contact with Red Rose... Kuku, I can't do it. Even if you pull that man out, you can't move that man who loses interest in the world and even hates him.)

The idea had a reason. Because he turned down his invitation many times. No matter how good they were, they never shaken their necks vertically, even though they threatened to.

I know that one of the reasons for this is in me, but I don't think it's possible for that man, Xel Geo, to believe someone and come out.

(I don't care about a man like a harsh bomb now. than that.....)

Avolos kicked out of his mind about Xel.

"Thank you both, Abis and Elaora. For our next quest."

Are you sure you want "Nuclear"?

That's what Eliaura asks.

"Yeah, I don't need it right now. And it's not like I don't have a chance to get it."

Her eyes glowed suspiciously as if she was obviously planning something. Eela Aura looked at it in a slightly awkward manner, but Abyss stood there flat.

"Well, I'm on my way to the next collection."

"Eh? Hey, wait, Abyss!

Yeah, good luck ~

Abyss turned his heel and hurried behind him as he walked out toward Elaora.

And when he was alone, Avolos sighed.

"... not yet. It's not perfect."

The usual smile lurks and says to the sky with eyes that look like hate.

Then slowly grip your right hand into the air to grasp something.

"I will not yield to the rest. I'll definitely get it... I'll definitely..."
