Noon the next day.
After the town of Mulun, we were coming to the plains beyond the mountains.
Looking for an entrance to an underground ruin from here is gonna break my bones.
"With Mr. Noir's map, you'll know the approximate location."
The entrance to the underground ruins should be near a red dot indicating the Demon King.
"So, Noir. Which way should we go?
"... over there"
We're headed toward Mr. Noir's command.
I walked about ten minutes and found a staircase leading to an underground ruin.
"There's a stone tablet in here! Come on, let's go!
I knew when I found the ruins, I'd get tense.
Let's have the stone tablet deciphered before the seal is lifted, and we'll just defeat the Demon King.
"It's dark. Philip, magically light the lights."
"I know."
When Dean Philip completed the rune, the back of the aisle lit up.
I knew it would be nice to have magic.
I want to get some magic soon too and be able to do this!
I can't stay or not, I'm going down the stairs.
Down the long stairs, he went out into a spacious passage.
It's the main road, just like the northern ruins.
About 300 meters away was a dead end, and the walls were stamped with surprising letters.
Stone tablet!
"Behind you is a dead end."
"That wall is the stone tablet. There's a letter over there."
"Can you see the letters from here? Nice eyes..."
"Whatever, Ash is not my disciple! Ash has eyes that look 15 miles away!
"Duh, what kind of training would that be...?
"Anyway, let's get ahead of ourselves...... what's up, Mr. Noir?
Mr. Noir was staring in a different direction from ours.
"... a stone tablet."
Mr. Noir points to the wall.
The walls were filled with plaque sized stone tablets.
"It has letters on it!
Short, but indecipherable letters were inscribed!
"Hey, what does it say!?
"... it says how to make this map"
How to make a map is... magic that shows where the mighty are.
Was it this stone tablet that Mr. Cuhle was able to decipher only part of?
"What else does it say?
"... it says if the Demon King escapes, you can use this magic."
"When you ran away?
Mr. Noir nods.
The demon king here seems to be the fastest in the world.
I see.
Until now the Demon King has been magnificent, but this time the Demon King has the potential to escape.
The fastest in the world means it's hard to find once you lose sight of it.
That's why the Ice Emperor carved magic on the tablet to show where the mighty man is.
Anyway, I'm glad I found a statement other than a bad one.
Here, there may also be clues left about magic.
"That's all it says here."
"Okay. All you have to do is make sure the stone tablet is over there!
I couldn't wait, I just walked up to the stone tablet.
Pariiiiiiiiinn!!
Suddenly something broke in my ear.
"Ash!? Are you all right!"
The master calls in haste.
"I just heard a weird noise... something cracked?
When I touched him, the master pointed to his foot.
There were fragments of shattered ice scattered at my feet.
"Suddenly an ice column popped out of the wall. Well, it's crushed."
The moment he hit me in the head, the ice column was shattered and scattered.
"I'm hurt..."
Instead of being injured, I didn't even realize I hit the iceberg until my master told me.
Normally, I can't believe my skin touches me and I don't notice... but I pointed my consciousness too far at the stone tablet and didn't realize that the ice-column had hit me.
"Ash is the hardest man in the world."
"I don't know. But I was surprised by the trap. Is this what happened to the ruins so far?
"I don't know about the south, but there wasn't a trap to the north."
"Maybe this is special. I'll ask the queer."
Dean Philip took his cell phone from his nostalgia.
"Hey, are you a queer? I'm coming to the western ruins with the Ashes right now. Is there a trap here?... I see. Then watch your body."
Dean Philip gets nostalgic for his cell phone.
"When Kyle visited before, he didn't have a trap."
"It's not like Trap Magic has been activated now."
"Is it possible that the seal of the Demon King is being unsealed?
"Maybe."
I agree with Mr. Cologne's guess.
This trap was prepared to honor the resurrected Demon King.
The fact that it did not activate when Mr. Cuhle arrived would mean that the sealing magic was still in effect at that time.
Conversely, trap magic has been activated…
"Mr. Noir. Can you show me the map again?
"I'll show you."
Mr. Noir spreads the map.
The Demon King's place was... unchanged.
However, it is likely that the seal is expiring.
"Let's hurry anyway!
I need you to decrypt the tablet before it breaks!
"Then there was a trap, and Noir couldn't get close."
I'll take care of all the traps.
This aisle is the main road.
Once you have a chance to conquer the Demon King, you don't need to permanently activate the trap.
I mean, Trap, once the magic is activated, it disappears!
I move forward toward the tablet to see if that prediction is correct.
Pariiiiiiiiiiiiine!!!!
Pariiiiiiiiiiiiine!!!!
Pariiiiiiiiiiiiine!!!!
Pariiiiiiiiiiiiine!!!!
Ice columns are released from the top to the bottom to the right to the left, smashing and scattering the moment they touch me.
That's how I followed the stone tablet, turning back the way I came.
As I thought, the trap was activated only once.
"You'll be safe now."
"You're too hard."
Go down the aisle with the masters who are amazed at my body and follow the stone tablet without anything.
Nevertheless, the stone tablet was stamped with surprising letters.
"It was all a bad thing."
Nonetheless, the stone tablet had surprisingly bad words written on it.
Not again!
How much I resent you about the Demon King!
Let's get along with the same demon kings!
There's only one ruin left... and when this happens, we'll have to expect it from the eastern ruins.
"Then I'll break it."
I got confirmation from the masters, and I punched the tablet.
Dogowong!!!!
Stone tablets crumble and cavities appear.
"... there's no demon king."
Mr Cologne said it properly.
Between the seals, there was no demon king.
"... there"
And, Mr. Noir points to the wall.
There was a hole in the wall.
From behind it, you can hear the gully and the digging noise.
"The Demon King dug a hole and ran away!
