Main Character Hides His Strength

28. King's Request (1)

“What the hell do you want from me? You cannot give up the ruin of the soul. I would rather die than give it to you. ”

Marrakia was a feeling of terror.

In the collapsed position, his hollow heart is revealed in a tapered voice.

Kim Sung-cheol glanced down at Marrakia and said in a bold voice.

“I never asked you to ruin my soul. I'd appreciate it if you would, but all I want is a reasonable increase in my magical power and intuition. Just the two of them. ”

“Isn't this because you can't give it to me? You have no idea how difficult and inefficient it is for a human being your size to transfer abilities. ”

“You really don't have a crown? It empowers me just what I have. ”

Kim Sung-cheol already knew that King Join's crown was made up by Mimi Azrael, but he said once with the same hope.

Useless expectations are always denied.

Marrakia shakes her head.

“There is no such thing. It's not a lie.”

“I see.”

It's a shameful result.

You've succeeded in subduing Marrakia through your efforts, but you've gained nothing.

But if the other person doesn't give you anything, you can't help it.

You can kill someone, but you can't take away their power and accomplishments.

“There's nothing I can give you, but if you want, I can give you a ritual that gives you strength. ”

Looking at the side of Kim Sung-cheol, who is stiff as a statue, Marakia said.

Kim Sung-cheol's head slightly turned to the side.

“What ritual are you talking about? ”

Marrakia replied with an evil smile.

“Haven't you seen it? What happened to the Underground Realm. ”

“Do you want me to sacrifice? ”

Marrakia nods.

“It seems there are still a number of cave elves in this underworld. If you sacrifice their lives as sacrifices for the gods, won't you get enough of what you want? ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol shook his head.

“Why? Why do you refuse? ”

Marrakia couldn't understand.

He made the best offer he could, and it made no sense to refuse without hesitation.

Kim Sung-cheol soon said why.

“I don't want to be strong after sacrificing so many lives like you. ”

“I thought you were wise, and you were foolish. Why does it bother you so much that you don't own your own kind or sacrifice another inferior species? ”

Kim Sung-cheol didn't answer his question.

No, I didn't feel the need to answer.

It was because I felt that there was a difference between Marrakia and myself that could not be narrowed down.

However, when Kim Sung-cheol was silent, Bertella went out instead.

“You destroyed your own people. ”

“What? My Nahaq has fallen? You're talking nonsense when I'm alive. ”

“You still don't understand the situation your kind is in. ”

While Bertelkia and Marakia were having meaningless arguments, Kim Sung-cheol took a step back and thought.

‘Is training the only answer? At least with this one, we can achieve... No, wait. ’

One thought passed through Kim Sung-cheol's mind.

His eyes turned towards Marrakia.

The king of Nahaq with black feathers is very powerful and scary, although he can't reach Kim Sung-cheol.

Particularly, the magical power is definitely superior to the Demon King.

‘If we use him, we will be able to deal with the Demon King Hatsunius Max without having to learn magic. ’

Kim Sung-cheol worked out a number of ways to resolve the situation after he missed out on Hatsunius Max.

Among them, there was a way to take the Wizard and feed him a crystal.

However, the method was frustrated for two reasons.

One was that there was no wizard to help him, and the other was that even if he wanted a wizard, he could not safely escort him to the Demon King's Palace.

Thousands and thousands of demons roam in the Magic Cube.

As long as the demons are not fools, if Kim Sung-cheol takes a wizard such as, for example, Altuzius Zero, the demons will insist on targeting only Altuzius.

Mental attacks, surprise attacks, tectonic shifts, wide-area magic attacks, and all-out naval tactics.

All the ways we can mobilize.

But Marrakia is a different story.

If I am as good as Marakia, I will be able to preserve my body from the threat of the demons, and I will be able to destroy Hatsunius Max, who was immortalized by his own power.

When I thought about it, Kim Sung-cheol felt his heart beating lightly.

‘This is the surest way. ’

Kim Sung-cheol immediately walked in front of Marrakia.

“Let's make a deal. ”

Marrakia, who was arguing with Bertelkia, kept her beak shut and looked up at Kim Sung-cheol.

“Deal?”

“Come with me to the Magic Book and defeat the Demon King. ”

“The Demon King. The Furst who eats fire? ”

“The Devil is long gone. The devil I'm talking about is a man named Hatsunius Max. ”

“Hatsunius Max? You've never heard of the devil. Yeah. Is that demon strong? ”

“Weaker than you. ”

“Then why are you taking me? ”

Kim said briefly about what happened with him and Hatsunius Max.

Marrakia, who heard the story, laughed out loud.

After a lot of laughter, Marakia opens her mouth with a sparkling sparkle in her eyes.

“Yes. My magic demands that you defeat the fierce demon." Of course there's a price, right? ”

“If you cooperate in defeating Hatsunius Max, I will give you life and freedom. ”

“Life and freedom. ”

Marrakia was petty.

Then, Kim Sung-cheol's eyes gave a cool glow.

“I could kill you right here and now. ”

It was a small and bold voice, but inside it was an unbearable weight.

Marrakia, who was a laughingstock, felt a crisis that she might actually die.

In fact, Kim Sung-cheol had the power to kill himself lightly.

But one question filled Marrakia's mind.

“Why would he want to kill the Demon King? Is there a personal grudge? Or is it for the comfort of the kingdom you rule? ”

Kim Sung-cheol answered Marakia's question without hesitation.

“To end the disaster. ”

The eyes of Marrakia remind me of this.

“I didn't know the one who defeated me was the Savior of the world. ”

“What's the answer?”

Kim Sung-cheol's voice echoed again.

Marrakia nods.

“Good. I'll help you. Human.I promise you in the name of King Nahaq. ”

Marrakia pulls out one of her black feathers and gives it to Kim Sung-cheol.

“A token of my promise. You should be thankful that the great King Nahaq is a servant. ”

“There's no need for that. ”

Kim Sung-cheol showed Arm Karaz.

Marrakia, who saw it, insisted on keeping his promise.

“Then I'll deal with it right away. ”

Kim Sung-cheol left the cemetery with an agile gesture.

Vertelgia followed him, flailing the bookshelf, and walking on two legs with a single remaining wing of Marrakia behind Kim Sung-cheol.

The abyss, left alone in the tomb, disappears into the darkness, gazing nonchalantly at the direction the group disappeared.

The entrance to the second floor of the basement was filled with countless cave elves.

The purpose is unknown, but it is clearly annoying.

Kim Sung-cheol pulled the magic horse Cassandra out of the Soul Warehouse.

But after seeing it, Marakia takes a step forward and makes a clear, clear sound.

The cave elves that were scattered throughout the world reacted as if they were crying as long as a single wolf.

Fear.

“Kieyeyeyeyey!! ”

In the sound of Kasandra, Kim Sung-cheol's horse, the Elves of the cave who were just running away were scattered to all sides when they heard the cry of Marakir.

It's not the fear I had in mind.

Fear imprinted on the bloodline responded.

The true cry of their master and predator, the cruel Zoe.

“How do you feel?”

Marrakia asked with a pleasant voice as she watched the panicked Elves scatter.

“Not bad. ”

Kim Sung-cheol walked forward, putting the unnecessary horse carriage Cassandra back into the soul storage.

Through a long, dark corridor, the group reaches the exit of the underground kingdom.

An elevator connected to the sheave awaits the group.

However, another unwanted guest was waiting for Kim Sung-cheol's group.

It's an abyss.

“ ……. ”

The strange creature stood in the middle of the passageway as if it had something to say to Kim Sung-cheol's group.

“Why is that in my kingdom? ”

Marrakia said in an annoyed voice.

Kim Sung-cheol with an arm karaz walked in front of the abyss.

“Begone, monster of forgetfulness. ”

Even though it was an awkward match, I had to deal with it as Kim Sung-cheol.

Then, the abysmal abyss stumbled past Sung-cheol Kim and walked forward with a disgusting gait.

The abyss seems to retreat as before, but the abyss stands still in front of a figure.

It's in front of Marrakia.

“Hey, you monster. How can you not? ”

Marrakia called Kim Sung-cheol as she stepped back.

As Kim Sung-cheol was approaching with an arm karaz, Marakia saw.

The beak of the abyss is slowly opening.

“N-no... no...”

Horses.

The abyss speaks.

Kim Sung-cheol, who was approaching with a hammer, stopped at an unexpected moment.

While everyone was stiff-necked, the abyss of the same abyss followed a more terrifying sound.

“I... I... I... can't go...”

The next moment, Arm Garaz smashes the head of the Abyss.

Along with the voices of the weak waves, the Abyssal abyss sank to a distant place, crumbling without form, and gradually returned to its original form.

“What the hell is that? ”

Marrakia said angrily.

Kim Sung-cheol didn't say anything.

It was because I had never seen him before.

‘The abyss speaks. Unbelievable. Even life, body, and soul must have been taken away as slaves to the high places. Are they still conscious? ’

I don't know.

It must not be known.

Kim Sung-cheol got on the elevator thinking so.

Marrakia also later boarded the elevator.

“I don't know how long it's been since I've been on the ground. ”

As if he was about to forget what just happened, he said in a cheerful tone.

Soon after, the pulley starts running and the elevator starts to go up.

Going up the hole, like a well, the bright sunlight on it breaks my eyes.

Suddenly, a sharp scream rang out just before the exit.

“Shhhhh!”

It belongs to Marrakia.

He kneels on the ground in agonizing agony, and then screams in agonizing screams like the cry of an ox.

Kim Sung-cheol immediately stopped the pulley and examined his details.

“What's going on? ”

At the next moment, Kim Sung-cheol's eyes were startled.

spots.

Black spots like the flower of death in Marrakia's body settle in my eyes.

Isn't this... the curse of extinction? ’

The scene that I did not want to see again crossed his eyes as if it were unrealistic.

“Shhhhh!!! ”

Marrakia struggles with a cry for excruciating pain.

On the cut wing, rotten sapphires spring out like fountains and smell terrible.

Kim Sung-cheol immediately lowered the elevator.

Fortunately, when we returned to the Underground Kingdom, Marrakia's condition had stabilized.

The black spots that spread all over your body disappear, and the sores that were coming out of your wounds no longer flow.

However, as if Marrakia still had a nightmare-like agony, he kept his hands and wings tucked in and said nothing for a while.

After a while, Kim Sung-cheol spoke to him.

“Were you cursed with extinction? ”

Marrakia nods, trembling lightly at his question.

“Yes. The scourge from God came upon our kind without warning. That's why our flying Nahaq burrowed underground like a mole. ”

“You're younger than you look. ”

Bertelkia speaks to Marrakia in a slightly sluggish voice.

Marrakia did not deny it.

“A year. In just a year, I was cursed with extinction. My brothers were safe, but me and my brothers were in danger of dying. But the king wanted me to inherit the throne, born with a black feather. That's why he's conscious. That's why I'm here. But…”

The eyes of Marrakia glowed with deep anxiety.

“Why does the curse remain? ”

“... because God is cruel. ”

Kim Sung-cheol replied.

Marrakia snorts, but it is true that the curse remains on his body.

“Looks like I'm about to die. ”

The spots on his body fade, but they do not disappear.

Marrakia smiles lonelily and stares up at the sky.

“After thousands of years, my fate hasn't changed a bit. ”

Soon, the fierce fury in his eyes began to burn.

“It shouldn't be so bad to go crazy before you die. ”

“ ……. ”

“Burn the humans and destroy their kingdoms. Do you think they'll remember me, my Nahaq? ”

Perhaps if Kim Sung-cheol wasn't around, he would have implemented his plan.

But there is Kim Sung-cheol next to him.

“I won't let you do that. ”

He stares at Marrakia and says in a bold voice.

Marrakia laughs loudly.

“I'm going to die anyway. What does it matter if he dies like this? ”

“I prevent disasters. Help me, and the curse on your body will also be lifted. ”

“Nonsense. Immortals cannot overcome God's trials. Therefore, disasters cannot be overcome. Just passing through like the seasons. ”

“There are those who have overcome. ”

“What?"

Marrakia was unbelievable.

Kim Sung-cheol recalled the laughter of Vestiaret.

“Humans you have so neglected. ”
