Episode 69

Grunstadt Castle will have a coronation ceremony due to the name of the demon king. It can't be said that we don't do any rituals, so it's just a shame. There is also one aspect of mourning for the Demon King.

The master has decided to base Rünheit after the throne.

This may be the last public event in Grunstadt.

The night before the coronation.

In a room in Grunstadt Castle, I was listening to the teacher.

"A demon king doesn't just mean 'the strongest demonic. It must be a transcendent with equal power to God."

"That said, no matter how much a teacher, you can't be like a demon king."

There is no doubt that the master is the world's best magician, but it is in the category of humans and demons.

It is not God-like strength like a demon king.

The teacher nodded at my words and continued like this.

"That's right. But as long as you inherit the name of the Demon King, you shouldn't be fainted just by firing magic."

"Ordinarily, you can't fire in a row ..."

Even if you try to fire spells, you can't easily collect the magical powers you need. You have to wait a bit.

It's close to having a cool time for game magic and special moves.

"Actually, there is a way to manage my out of magic."

I was surprised because the teacher spoke of something unexpected.

"Is there such a method?"

"Um. If this succeeds, I will have the power equivalent to the Demon King ..."

"can get?"

"... maybe"

That's a lot.

"I should have tried it at last, but it has long been banned by the anxious Demon King."

what is that.

First of all, I don't feel the need to be a teacher.

"The teacher wasn't necessarily chosen as a demon king because he only expected his strength."

The 1st Division has a long and strong relationship of trust between the Master and the King.

The second division, the kindness of the teacher who saved us twice.

The third division is the personality of the teacher.

For different reasons, he recognized the teacher as a king for factors other than strength. Rather, they don't care much about strength.

If so, this is probably the first time in the demonic history.

But the teacher shakes his head.

"I know it well, but you know it's not enough to die inadvertently."

The teacher suddenly looked far away, rubbing his throat.

"Every time the king dies, his minions are upset. If the second generation of Demon dies shortly after losing the Demon King, the ideal of the Demon King will be far away?"

"That's ... well."

If even the master can die, it is certain that everyone who is down is even more depressed.

The teacher smiled and continued.

"I'm reassured. I don't mean to make reckless bets. In theory, there is no immediate danger."

"That's a sound that makes me very anxious."

Then the teacher smiles bitterly.

"I can't help it. I'll explain it from now, so I'll listen to it properly."

The class started suddenly because I said something extra.

"Death is not just magic, it's also a philosophy. It's to face death."

The master mutters while holding his little hand over the flame of the candlestick.

"And some necromancers are called 'the last door.' Do you know what it is?"

Is the person who faces death the last door to open?

"Is your death?"

"I've looked closely."

The teacher smiled with an innocent face.

"Even if you say a necromancer, you will eventually die if you are a living body. At that time, you will be asked for its true value as a necromancer. How do you deal with your death?"

The teacher once died in the past, but has not yet died. In the past life, it seems like a tube in a coma in a coma, but it is alive.

So, the "last door" has not yet opened.

The teacher nods, as if reading my thoughts.

"When I die, my whole question is. The ultimate question is," What is life, what is death? "

"It's a difficult problem ..."

"Well, I've lived for a long time.

The teacher laughed and jumped off the chair.

"But if you open this door, you can never return to it. And I can't deny that my personality could be adversely affected."

What is going on?

The master looked up at me and appealed with a serious expression.

"I want my disciple to help me there for safety."

"That's better for melene ..."

The teacher shook his head.

"I can only rely on you to help me. I must be a full-time magician and be good at Take."

"Is that another guy ..."

Among the disciples of the great sages Gomoviroa, I am the most used to being rough. Because it's a werewolf.

Thanks to this, we have been involved in terrible experiments and rituals. I'm an enhanced magician.

Well, then I'll help.

For teachers.

"Okay, but I'm sorry, I'm sorry for summoning the devil."

"I'm persistent. That would be an accident."

A nightmare that keeps being attacked with a tremendous amount of demon summoned by demons summoned from another dimension, I do not want to experience it again.

I thought I would return if the night was dawning, and that fucking devil continued attacking the master until the next day. Try to be the protector.

The next time I meet, I will tear it apart.

The teacher coughs and cheats and tells:

"It's easy this time. Will you come to the underground laboratory?"

"Is it underground?"

"By the way, I'll tell you some old stories."

"Old folk tales are long ..."

"Thank you for the special lecture of the great sage Gomoviroa.

The teacher's voice echoes on the spiral staircase of the castle.

"There used to be a small kingdom of humans here, in which a clan of magicians reigned as kings. The power of magic used to protect the country from demons and troops from other countries. "

But the king said that the kingdom was also destroyed in the war between humans.

"You've overestimated Chichi and sorcery. You drowned in power and forgot what was important. Nothing was as terrifying as a human grudge."

The king bought the grudges of the court officials for his arrogance, and their betrayal destroyed the country in no time.

The castle was besieged by traitors, and all captured royals were killed.

"The only exception is me. My mother gave me my healing spell to pretend to be dead, so I recovered slowly in a suspended state."

"I see ...?"

"What happened?"

"Then, Master, is this your hometown? Is it a real princess?"

"I wasn't in a position to take over the throne because it was a sideline.

I heard it for the first time. I'm surprised.

Then the teacher shook his shoulders with a natural face.

"Wondering why the Demon Army conveniently obtained such an abandoned castle?"

"Surely, did someone find out by accident ..."

"Actually, I was not the landlord of the Demon King's army."

Is it a rental tenant here?

"Well, everywhere the country was destroyed, and the towns and fields were buried in forests.

The master descended at the end of the spiral staircase and stood in front of an old door.

"I was speared through my throat and exposed like any other clan. I was quite scared when I finally returned to consciousness years later."

"It's a fierce experience ..."

It would have been painful or scary.

"The most surprising thing is that the whole country has been ruined and ruined. I don't know what happened, but the traitors didn't seem to have flourished."

Was it a civil war? If so, it seems to be self-employed.

"The other clan was rotten and boned, and my wounds healed with a spear pierced, so the wounds opened again when I pulled them out. "

I finally realized that the teacher was shy and more scared of humans than demons.

It is reasonable if you have such an experience in childhood.

The master then lived alone in the ruins where no one was left.

There were plenty of habitable places inside the castle, albeit destroyed, and the outside world was too dangerous for teachers who were still children.

"Every day, every day, I kept thinking by myself, wondering why this happened, and devoted myself to studying necromancy to resurrect my father and mother."

But, of course, it quickly became apparent that this was not possible. The irreversibility of death is terrible, and the resurrection of the dead is impossible with any mystery of necromancy.

It is possible to call on the spirits of the dead, but in most cases the spirits will only appear vaguely and disappear in a matter of seconds.

The teacher lost his purpose to live, and only learned to learn necromancy while living infinite time.

It is said that the teacher met another again more than a hundred years later.

"At that time, I still did not find the answer to the last door, but after I was told that I was a sage and had disciples, I finally found the answer to the last door. "

"Really"

Then the teacher laughed and glanced up at me.

"I'm the one who gave me the answer."

"me?"
