Episode 2: Let's Take Back What's Taken -3

"You haven't broken your promise, have you? I gave you my eyes, as promised."

Kicking the rolling Oulu's right arm, Sarnak picks up Floro's eyes, which fell to the ground.

"It's just unfortunate that you get robbed afterwards. That's all we're talking about....... Naggia!

As Sarnak raised his voice, Nagya, who was waiting outside the room, came in bewildered.

"Dear Sarnak... what the hell..."

"I know you're with this man. Whoa, don't order anything unnecessary."

Poking his sword at the oul holding his arm, Sarnak squeezed his jaw at Nagya.

"From this guy, I have the skills to manipulate something like this stonewall armor... no, it's a hassle. Take all the skills this guy has. Not a bad business deal, is it? I'll trade your whole life for yours."

"... well. Eyes."

His left leg was mutilated the moment Oul told him to whine.

"I told you not to say anything extra. But, well, I'll tell you. Exactly. I've been watching and hearing all your interactions with Nagya."

Sarnak laughs as he flickers Floro's eyes.

"Stupid demons. You offered this to me without knowing its true value."

It's not Oulu that Sarnak is mocking, it's Nagya. In her "appraisal," I didn't even know the name of the skill until its effect. Even though I knew it wasn't just eyes, I guess I didn't even know exactly how effective it was.

"This is the ruler's eye. You can rule and obey all demons, the eyes of the Demon King!

"Demon King, so...?

Oul opens his eyes in amazement. On its right leg, the cutting tip of the sword pierced it.

"Gu......!

"Whoa, if you do too much, is it time to die? You can kill me and take it away from me, but I have a lot to ask... I'll leave my tongue behind. Nagya. Now take it away."

Pull out the sword, Sarnak looking bored.

"Wait!

There, suddenly Floro showed up and broke in.

"Whoa... Is His Majesty the Demon King out himself? In a good mood, former, Your Majesty the Demon King."

Sarnak accents the "ex" even more and asks him to be rude and thankful.

"Heh... Your Majesty!?

Naggia opened her eyes to surprise, not knowing it.

"Oul. Swear you will be under my command! That would help!

"Whoa, let me do that! Shut him up, you guys!

To Sarnak's order, all the slaves who follow him give a bewildered look.

"Do it!"

But when Sarnak commanded them on top of each other, the slaves struck towards Floro in unison.

"Oul! Please! Be my subordinate, and...!

Floro screams as he is seized by the slaves and pressed against the floor.

"Shut up!"

Sarnak shook his sword at her...

"Say no."

To Oulu's words, he stopped Pittari and his movements.

"... what?

"I said no. If you've been listening to all the conversations between me and Nagya, you know it. I disobey no one. I decide my own path to life."

Not only Sarnak, but the slaves, Nagya, and Floro stared pompously at Oulu.

I don't know what's going to happen to Oulu other than Floro for saying it's going to be subordinate. But it was obvious that she tried to help Oulu. And Oul bounced off his saving hand.

"─ Ha"

The first thing that came back to me was Sarnak.

"Hahahahahaha! That's good. Aren't you better suited to the king?

Lift your hair up and laugh funny.

"Then you're right about that choice...... Naggia. Take away all his skills."

I commanded my own slaves to do so.

"... Yes"

Naggia sticks her hand in Oulu's chest as she is told...... and pulls it out.

"Ooh..."

To the giant crystal of light that appeared there, Sarnak opened his eyes and leaked his exclamation. Such a quantity, such a brilliant skill, was the first thing he had ever seen, too.

"Today is the best day. Demon King's eyes, Demon King himself, and unknown skills were acquired. Now I can return to the Walls! Farewell to the lowest level like this... no, with this, the highest level people... it's not my dream to be royal!

Sarnak puts his hands up to Oulu's skill as he laughs. But the hand grabbed the void.

"... what are you going to do"

Sarnak looks sharply at Nagya, who holds his skill crystal high and holds his sword.

"Chi, no, Master Sarnak! This is... the body, on its own!

The sword of Nagya is waved by a horizontal giraffe, striking Sarnak in the neck. He took it without avoiding it.

"... oul. Is this you?"

Oul has not uttered a word to Nagya, nor does he look like he had given a prior order. That means he can manipulate Nagya without saying a word.

"But it's no use. My" Shield of Steel "won't break."

Nor does it look like he cared about the white blade, which is wielded many times, and Sarnak stuffs Nagya in time. I didn't even seem to be hurting the clothes I was wearing, on the contrary, to see what the hell the principle was.

Gu, and that's when Sarnak grabbed it unconstitutionally on Nagya. Naggia wrapped her lower body like a serpent around Sarnak.

Even if it doesn't scratch in any way, how about being detained?

"I'm telling you, it's no use"

But Sarnak pushed Nagya's lower body open without incident. It's not just that the attack doesn't work. They also have the effect of interfering with physical phenomena.

"... stop, or"

"Ho."

Sarnak raised an eyebrow at Oulu, who shrugged and murmured.

"Stopping what you touch... that means losing power"

So cutting it with a sword won't scratch it, and tightening it with the tail of a serpent can easily snap it open. That probably means the same for flames and poisons. They are, in the end, just physical phenomena in small eyes.

His' Steel Shield ', contrary to its name, renders almost every attack powerless. That's why hearing that Oulu's Dungeon Cube can keep the flames out didn't show any interest.

"This is the first time you've seen my skills. Well......"

Sarnak plays Nagya's sword and kicks it down.

"I just noticed it's pointless."

And he reached for Oul's skill, which rolled out of that hand.

"Ha..."

Rolled in front of Floro, to that skill.

"Let go, impudent!

To the fury of Floro, the power of the slaves looses. With that gap, Floro pulls his arm out of the restraint and grabs the skill crystal. And swallowed it in one breath.

"Nah...... you!

Sarnak waves his sword reflexively. But it was held back by a solid stone wall.

"... ho"

Oul leaks his voice delightfully into the sight.

"This, is..."

And anything but him, including Floro, who did it, was utterly silent. The stone wall that prevented Sarnak's sword does not belong to the Dungeon Cube.

From the floor of this dungeon itself, because it was something that jumped out.

"Oh, no!

The walls fly further down the glittering slaves.

"Stupid...... said it was a skill to create new walls......!?

Floro stood up approximating the werewolf Sarnak and turned his gaze toward Oulu as he slowly slapped the dust.

"I'll lend you my technique. Use it as you please."

"Thank you. Okay, I'll borrow it, Oulu."

Floro bowed his head with a pepper, and turned again to Sarnak, he said, surely staring at him.

"My eyes...... I'll have them back, Sarnak!
