We're climbing the stairs leading to the top floor of Demon King's Castle and the twelfth floor.
"Mm...? I don't know, normal..."
"It used to feel more horrible."
Ergonote and Faria walking ahead looked at each other and then looked back at me walking behind them.
Every time the armor of the brave man walks, he makes a noise with Kashakasha, carving the sound of Faria's armor tied with silver hair and a petty rhythm.
"I'm weak in magic. The atmosphere is different from the previous Demon King Castle, I guess, because of that."
"There's no sign of evil."
"Right. Her Royal Highness Princess Snoovel was originally the opposite of evil. It's not a magic pot that scatters starches and obstacles. The throne of the Castle of the Demon King is not worthy."
"I see..."
Ergonote in a convincing way. After all, the beautiful and wise Princess Snoovel is not worthy of the Lord of such a demonic nest castle. The chair of the glowing kingdom suits you.
"Sage Grecas, what was it like here before?
Once again, it flies with trembling back bounces, and the fairy Metius is intriguing.
"In the past, the magic of the Demon King led to red and black grotesque sculptures like the insides of creatures covering walls and ceilings."... pulsating as if he were alive. "
"Well! It's horrible..."
It's a really bad taste, but it's also all a magical effect of the magic wave that the old Demon King (...) was emitting, commonly known as "Viv". Turn a wild xenobiotic organism (...) into a ferocious' demon ', breathing evil tentative early life into a breathtaking inorganic object and turning it into a' demon '. The demons thus created caused serious damage all over the world.
"... we can't go back to those horrible times"
With the task of rescuing His Highness the Princess, the castle of Dicamaran was visited again.
Once, there was a journey of ordeal that spanned several months to get here. This time, however, we flew a thousand kilomertes in just one hour, and even the mighty enemies that strike us have defeated us and proceeded.
The journey with our colleagues, who have grown stronger with experience, also seems to be the final stage at last.
It reminds me of the final showdown in the former Demon King's War, which also raises nature and tension.
In front of him, who had finished climbing the stairs, were two open doors, ten mertes high. Countless snake relief intertwined creeps the entire edge of the door.
"Again... are you here"
"Save the princess with our hands."
The leading brave Ergonote and warrior Faria nodded and put their hands on the last door.
"Let's go!
Right behind you, I'm gonna open up all my magic detections and prep the defensive junction.
Six "Barrels" are distributed as relays for the "Sovereign Boundary (Circle)", near the ten and eleven staircases downstairs. I decided to prepare for the proximity of demons, etc.
"I can always do that, too!
"All right, good luck, Fest."
Behind you lies Lentomia, enhanced by magic, and Manuferno.
"The awkward are prepared, too."
"Your Highness...!
The Wizard Magerna continues as Lu protects the rear end.
"... by the way, you're setting some kind of trap, aren't you? Say something, Cora."
Blue-haired Magellna jars the "black beeball" in the bag in her hand and inquires into the contents.
"My eyes turn......! Ya, stop...! No, there isn't! It is now equal to the end of the role of princess (...)...... '
A Stralian Taoist wizard divided into six black beeballs says it contains something.
The end of the wizard who tormented us is in a cloth bag and Magellna at the rear has it. Sometimes, whenever I hit a wall just to belly, I screamed and it seemed like I was totally grown up, but it seemed like I was willing to come here and talk.
"What do you mean by role? Hey, say it clarity!
Question Zach Frugel Reedburn, who turned into a bead in Doss's dominant voice, as Majerna jarrayed the bag in frustration.
'Ya, don't be rude......! Ma, activate the Maw System... with Princess Snoovel's magic. The goal is not to create a new Demon King army.... I don't want to hate and destroy the world like I once did in Denmark, but as the Demon King... I'm falling, Hifhihi'
"It's up to you to keep your mouth shut. In any case, Temehe and the others failed, right? I will tell the kingdom exactly what a mastermind the people of Stralia have caused the Demon King's War. Be prepared."
Majerna intensifies her narrative with Dos' heard voice.
'Hihi, Denmark... it wasn't just out of our hands. Originally... the magic traits of those who became the core of Demon King's Castle... were designed to allow this castle to learn (...) and self-evolve (...) itself. The princess's magic traits... have already been learned, Kihihi.'
- Future foresight......!
"Are you saying that the 'Maw System' is collecting magic?
I stared at the black beads with Magellna.
"You, try something on the princess, I'll kill you alive...!
"Hold on, hold on! Speak. Your princesses are safe.... the heart of this Demon King's Castle, the Dark Throne. That's where... I have everything under control. And... I'm collecting them. Every magical wisdom and... power. '
"The throne is the magic collecting device......!
'Oh, Denmark is not the only country with enough magic to be called the Demon King to sweep the world so far. For the last hundred years, when I brought a prospective man, I let him sit on the throne. That was also our role as Zordaxzaian. The castle gives obedience if the magic is as digitally different as Denmark's, and it corresponds to a true demon king. The inexhaustible magic accumulated underground, as well as the demons placed in the castle and the armies growing outside. They are just accessories (optional)... but it's not a celebration of your appointment to the Demon King... Hihihi'
Zawa... and the war broke through. Once upon a time, this castle swallowed many human beings.
"Sorting device that creates the Demon King… is that the 'Mao System'?"
- We have to destroy the throne.
I, with my people, decided to open the door.
The first thing that popped into my eyes was a black dokuro-shaped throne mounted on the front about fifteen mertes and the figure of a pure white princess sitting there like a powerless, closing her eyes.
"Snoovel!"
The dull gray cylinders line left and right, with worn red and black tapestries hanging between them.
We ran after Ergonote.
"Well ergo......!
"Damn it!
While I was stunned by what I was expecting, I was quick to confirm that there was no response other than that of a princess in the Sovereign Quarter.
There should have been no wall or floor planting between these thrones.
"I don't feel dangerous. But just the ergonote, get the princess off my throne!
I scream at the back of the running ergonote, gesturing against Faria and Lentomia.
"Understood!
In case anything happens, it means a great deal that the sacrifice is just ergonote… but there is also resistance to touching the royal body with ease.
Looking around vigilantly, I can see that between kings illuminated by magical lights is a place equipped with the original proper character. It is old and decaying, but with hand-made conditioning and exquisite sculptures.
All of them portray the dragons, flying ships, and glorious magical civilizations of the old world that perished in ancient times.
"Snoovel! Hold on......!
Up the stairs of the throne about ten steps, Ergonote gently peeled the princess from its disastrous chair so much that she clapped it out.
The princess is calm and unconscious, but she seems to be alive. Ergonote held the princess in a white ceremonial dress in exactly the "princess hug" state.
"Get away from me! Immediately...!
"Ah!"
Ergonote lags behind, worried about the flickering and the throne. I went down the stairs in the blink of an eye, wary that it would still strike me.
"What about the princess!?
"Safe, heal...!
More than a rushing Magerna, Ergonote turns his gaze to Manuferno.
"Looks like you're okay..."
"Something clap out?
"But beware, the sign of the throne... is certainly unusual"
I couldn't help but feel anxious as I watched Ergonote fleeing here and Faria and Manuferno's back to greet me.
And, I feel something glow on the throne and stare unexpectedly.
- Hmm?
'………………………………………………………………'
Someone called the name of someone (...).
