Kuro no Maou

A meteor emitting a disastrous black glow burst over the head of the Deus Divine Statue --and an awesome impact instantly rushed through the vast hall that anointed not only vision, but all of the five senses.

No matter how much space you have, this isn't a move to use indoors.

When I think of that in my head, the shock waves pass, and my vision returns.

"You hit it right."

There stands the statue of Deus, whose upper body has disappeared.

No creepy three sides, no powerful six-arms, no traces.

The abdomen was a cross section that seemed to have been threaded off distorted as it had begun to fly, with a frame slightly protruding like a spine.

The remaining lower body also peels off the gold and the inner black metal surface is exposed, as is still the case.

"No way, you won't play it from here..."

"If the boulders do that, we'll have to turn back once."

And by way of out of magic rather than out of time, I say as Lily unmerged clings to my neck in a toddler state.

I can't even keep my adult consciousness and it's not as serious a magic depletion as falling down right now, but Lily's magic is on the verge of bottoming out.

I'm not as much of a magician as Lily, either, but I'm wearing out so much magic that I feel tired of my body.

Fiona and Saliel are still in a state of leeway, but as a party, it's hard to say it's complete.

Again, it's tough to work directly in front of a full-blown Deus statue.

Has the statue of the Deus been destroyed with this? Or do you still show true power from here?

As you remain alert, staring at your worn lower body,

VIYYYYYYYYYY!!

Damn, it sounds like a buzzer.

The unexpected high volume breaks the silence and heightens the tension in Russia... but there is no movement in the statue of the Deus god, continuing, Gachangachan and sounds like heavy mechanical sounds.

"Phew, good... the door's open, Chrono"

Seeing, the red gate leading to the treasure trove was about to make a noise and slowly open.

Was it just an unlock sound?

"You did it, Mr. Chrono"

"Oh, I'm glad I could defeat you normally"

"If that's the kind of boss that plays, Zanadu can't attack either."

Sure, we're talking about how many parties exist that can defeat the Deus Idol once in a head-on battle.

"Chrono, let's go"

"Oh. Sariel, I'm sorry, but stay on back alert, please."

"Yes, Master"

In Sariel alone, he was immediately in the perimeter alert, just checking with a tiler look that the gate was open.

In fact, if the gates of the treasure trove you are looking for have been opened to this sight, the adventurer's attention will be drawn there first. To set a nasty trap on the verge of a goal, the timing of the outfit.

In anticipation of such a place, you can remain alert to the rear, because the boulder is Saliel. There is no loophole.

"All right, let me worship Zanadu's legacy."

So we went into the open treasure trove.

"Wow, this is really awesome... it's like a painted treasure trove"

There, truly, was overflowing with gold and silver treasures.

Various jewellery, large and small, in piles of gold coins piled high from the floor. Lots of open chests are filled with colorful treasures... no really, what is this amount?

With so much, I'm rather anxious that the very value of precious metals will crash.

A treasure trove not as big as the boss room of the Deus Divine Statue, but still quite an area. So much so that the amount of gold coins stacked on its front is enough to collect it from all over the world.

I've certainly heard of gold present on Earth for three 50-meter pools, but I think that's how much gold is in this treasure trove right now.

The Great Magic Fixture "... oddly enough, there's not one here." "Well, if it's the deepest part of the ancient ruins, it would be odd to have all this ancient gold and silver treasure."

With me elsewhere completely blinded by the golden mountain, Lily and Fiona had their sharp observation eyes pointed at the treasure trove.

"Sure, you don't have any ancient artifacts like Shangri-La"

If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed.

It's natural psychology for adventurers to seek treasure behind ancient ruins, but we already know the precedent of the spaceship Shangri-La, which is being revived by Lily's hands.

Ancient civilization possesses a level of magic technology that surpasses modern Earth, and its artifacts, including ether-style firearms, are sophisticated, near-future designs.

If this is truly the most important compartment where important treasures and weapons of the time can be delivered as ancient monuments, there should be more high-tech items lined up than gold coins and jewellery.

In the mountain of treasure in front of you, there is also a slight confusion of arms and tools, but the design is all contemporary fantastic. There are no rifles or cannons pierced.

"But it looks like we have the right thing to do."

Across a mountain of dazzling gold and silver treasures stands a huge plate of gold that shines high.

And at its roots was the appearance of one slender old man, who was falling to bring.

That is, without a doubt, the original golden monolith and Xanadu, the King of Adventures who holds the key, as we saw on the Heritage Broadcast.

"Yeah, it's real."

"You're not an illusion."

While we remain alert to the last trap, we approach Xanadu in Monolith.

When he finally stood in front of the fallen Xanadu as he stomped the gold coins on the floor,

"... oh, are you here yet? It's early, then."

The voice of a shy old man, but somewhere hectic, echoes.

Xanadu looked up at her nagging face and said so.

"Are you still alive?"

"He's already dead. But you can't die until you worship him."

"The flesh is dead, but the consciousness is real."

Corpse Psychiatry "This feeling must have taken even the secret medicine of the system. Even right after he died, it seems somewhat effective enough to stay conscious." "Hey, suddenly you rattled me out, you emotionless ladies."

Lily and Fiona, who stand next to me, teach me the karakuri that Xanadu, who is really supposed to be a light corpse, talks about.

As for this one, if it's not a trap that manipulated Xanadu's body, there's nothing wrong with it.

Instead, if you're really going to give up such a huge legacy to a stranger adventurer, I'd like to ask the sincerity of Xanadu.

"Well, you've come a lot. I've been watching you guys attack."

Use it, I guess that means. Xanadu taps the monolith on his back with Conn.

"Yes, I knew it was you who was peeking."

"I'm not the only one. The offensive patterns of the adventurers were allowed to air during Carla Mara. At the end of the year, it will be just right."

I even watched footage of Xanadu transferred to the treasure trove, but I didn't know our battle had been broadcast on Vision since then. Is it still being shown live at this time?

I'm curious, but if Xanadu was watching us, it's quicker than that.

"So, do we pass?

"I wiped out half that Deus statue. You're an asshole, you can't even put it on...... hey, come on, who's an adventurer these days, we're all so strong?

"We're a little special. But it's not the strongest. There's someone stronger."

"But you're the ones who are here now. Then my legacy is yours."

Kusaki, laughing somewhere satisfied, Xanadu offered the key to the treasure trove he had in his right hand.

"There is only one legitimate heir. You guys seem like a foursome party... come on, who the hell gets the keys?

"Lily, are you there?

"Chrono should have the key."

"But I, I had amnesia, and it's hard to say I've come this far as an 'Element Master'"

"Isn't that nice, because you're back already." The Element Master is Krono's party. "

"I, too, support the Master"

That's what Fiona and Saliel said, so this would mean that party leaders don't even have to stand at the corner to receive it.

Honestly, when I see this huge amount of treasure without a sense of reality in front of me, I think that Lily seems to be able to make better use of it than I am.

Then I'll get the keys.

"You've made a terrible decision. All this treasure in front of you."

"We're still rank five adventurers. Now, can you rub it or something with the distribution of rewards?"

"Well, yeah... I thought so too."

"What do you mean?

"I'll tell you soon. Take the keys first."

Keys to a golden treasure trove, protruding straight out.

I get the key, slightly nervous. A legacy inheritance race staged in the Great Labyrinth, a testament to its victory.

"Here I am, killing my people. Attacking this great labyrinth of Carla Mara from the first tier, he finally defeated the statue of Deus, his best companion..."

Xanadu, who handed me the key, began to speak with a look like he had been freed somewhere.

I let go of all the stuff I got, penance that I can do because it's now, and so on?

"I didn't mean to. I'm sure nobody really meant to... but we started killing each other here. When I entrusted the treasure here to just one person, that's what they said... No, no, no, even so, we were supposed to share it..."

"Hey, I was told, was there someone else?"

"I was slashed back by the clap that stabbed me in the back... I was the best woman I ever liked, I loved you, and when this was over, you thought so... but so I got it. Everything here..."

Hasn't Xanadu heard from me yet?

Gradually, the raging light is lost in his eyes, and he is blind to me standing right in front of him.

I guess the will that had stopped me from connecting with the secret medicine is finally about to disappear.

"I'm glad this is it, I've thought that all my desires have been fulfilled... I'll be the legend of Karamara forever as Adventure King Xanadu. My kids reign as rulers of this country and tell us the legend of the future perpetual robbery, the adventurous king Xanadu... but I finally realized beyond a hundred years. I'm an adventurer. I'm not a royal nobleman, I don't care if I'm a descendant... I should have died here, with all of us!

From Xanadu's eyes, there are zero tears.

I know they killed each other around the treasure... but the weight of that guilt for a hundred years is immeasurable.

"I didn't want this stuff, what's boundless wealth, eternal prosperity... treasurers fucking eat it! But hey, I got on with that sweet talk, even the shittiest of me, but there's still something I can do... my legacy, the big beat I bet everything on, it's the last adventure of Adventure King Xanadu..."

Xanadu's eyes flare, as if to burn out the fire of his last life.

The gaze you were about to lose can be clearly directed at me again.

"Chrono the 'Element Master', I bet you... you, don't take the same path as me... never listen to Carla Mara, that evil god..."

"Hey, what do you mean by evil god? No way, he was manipulated or something like that------"

"Oh... what the heck, guys, are you there... wait, I'm the leader... wait, I'm going now... to a new, adventure..."

Without answering my question, Xanadu crushed the last word, like a rumor, and died.

At the end of that stretched hand, did you see what a former companion looked like?

Pray for happiness... it's something that left me with so many ominous words that I don't feel like it.

"Hey, Lily, you said Carla Mara was an evil god, right?

"Well, I'm sure he's talking about God affecting this maze."

"You mean the name of that god was Karamara, and it was affecting Xanadu in some way"

For I guess the deepest part of this Great Labyrinth is something like the sanctuary of the God of Carlamara.

However, there is no super-powerful influence, as in the "Divine Extinction Realm Avalon," which makes all other protections unusable.

To the extent that I can't actually feel any change, it doesn't seem to be a problem at all...

"Chrono, you'd better master the original monolith first. I don't know what's going to happen more than leaving Xanadu's control."

"Sure, I'm having trouble with the sudden activation of the suicide bomber."

It's a classic pattern like this.

I don't like it, I kind of struggled to get out of the bottom tier of the crumbling dungeon.

I hope the Ancients don't have some kind of suicide bombing feature like assholes.

"Hey, can I just have this key for now?

"Wouldn't that be nice?

We don't know exactly how to use each other's keys, but for one thing, we should just touch them directly, just like before, and blacken them.

I stand in front of Monolith holding hands with Lily, each touching a golden plate surface with the hands of an empty person.

"Well, let's go----" Blackened" "

Realize, as magical as it may be, that it is not just a change in appearance that Monolith shines golden.

There is a similar sense of resistance when overwriting monoliths stained with white magic.

What, this strange magic reaction... seems different from any primary magic, if not black or white.

Strangely enough, I override the unknown golden magic in black.

Thus, as usual, the original monolith was dyed and cut into black monochrome.

First of all, this should mean that the purpose of our journey is achieved...

"Lily, what's it like? You managed to grasp the system?

Lily, who kept her eyes closed and focused on my question, opens her eyes.

The face had no grin convinced of success and the tension was still an uninterrupted hard look.

"... oh, yeah, that's what you're talking about"

"Hey, Lily, I'm not convinced you're on your own, so I need you to explain."

It's not a joke or anything, Lily is a serious look.

Apparently, he noticed something serious.

"Unfortunately, I don't seem to have time to explain it either --I 'm coming"

Not long after I asked, I felt it.

Signs of immense magic...... that is the sense of the Seventh Apostolic Sariel-like, but decidedly different in the nature of power.

The source is the original monolith.

A huge plate surface dyed and cut in pitch black is lit with a glittering golden light again.

"What, this amount of magic!?

It should have been completely overwritten by my blackening, but mysterious golden magic springs up as it overflows from the back.

On the black side, the golden glow ran horizontally and vertically in line, and they instantly formed shapes.

Drawn out there is the big first.

The gleaming golden eyes moved gleaming down at us and said.

"--My name is Carla Mara."

Monolith spoke.

No, if you take Xanadu's word as it is... he is a god by the name of 'Karamara'.

"... what the hell, you are"

"I am God. It is God, who fulfills the wishes of men"

It's a frigid name indeed... but the signs I feel about this sixth sense are very similar to the intimidation I felt when I put Mia the Demon King in front of me.

Really, is it God?

You mean the evil god, who led Xanadu to a hundred years of misery?

"Well done, you've come this far, new adventurer. No, beyond Xanadu's corpse, Adventure King --Come on, serve this Carla Mara. Let your wish come true."

"I'm sorry, but the God I believe in is already on time. Why don't we just shut up and pick it up?"

If you insist on wishing, I don't think there was such a suspicious appearance of God.

Carla, Mara, there was no god. We will have the entire legacy of Xanadu, master the original monolith, clear and triumphant to Sparda. Congratulations. That's enough for this later development.

"Wishes, etc."

"I have nothing to ask of a suspicious guy like you."

"It's a highly suspicious thing... what do we need to lead? Xanadu would already have been fully proud of the glory of a hundred years"

"For what it's worth, I've always regretted it."

"Now the man who ended up there, that he had fully satisfied his desires and, at the end of the day, only hoped at the end that he would fall here. I am not cursing Xanadu, nor am I asking for sacrifices in return for my wealth... I have only fulfilled my wish, that is all."

Well, if you do only see the results, Xanadu has full tenure.

It doesn't even seem like we've lost something in return for getting huge treasures.

"But you killed Zanadu's people."

"There is only one person who will grant my wish. If you stand with someone before me, you must decide who you wish for."

Are you saying that it is the responsibility of the party members to kill each other?

Perhaps it makes sense, but I can't make all the affirmations.

In the first place, they reached this treasure trove by destroying the statue of Deus, the Lasbos. I don't have to wish on God, my hopes as an adventurer are fulfilled.

Where God named Carla Mara last came out, and what the hell more did he need to wish for...

"There are four of us standing here right now. Everyone deserves to wish for me together --come on, who, make a wish"
