Apparently, the Demon King between the Seals is strong enough to be named Legendary Demon (HyperLegendary Monster).
And that was good information for me.
I've never been able to fight a mighty enemy in order to gain magic.
I'm glad he's a strong enemy though, but my aim is only to get clues to gain magic.
The information of the Demon King is secondary.
"What else does it say?
"... The Ice Emperor (Ice Lord) has sealed the Legendary Monster for 300 years."
"In 300 years!? Why did it take so long...?
To his astonished master, Mr. Noir shook his head, "I don't know," he said.
"Sealed magic doesn't activate unless you weaken your opponent?
When I twisted, the master twisted his neck.
"Um, I don't know. I've never heard of sealed magic in the first place."
As with the magic that shows where the mighty are, the sealing magic is probably a magic independently developed by The Ice Emperor.
It's too strong to be able to seal any strong enemy, or maybe it won't activate unless it does some damage.
... but it sounds like he couldn't scratch one of the hardest demon kings in the world.
Then, for some reason, it took time to seal.
"Well, if it's Ash, it'll end with a piece of bread, and you don't have to worry about time."
The master said proudly.
While I want to live up to my master's feelings, I also don't want him to end up with a one-bread.
I don't know if it's actually going to end with a one-bread fight though, and now it's just going to be useless to think about it.
"So, what else does it say?
Mr. Noir stared at the stone tablet... and shook his head after a while.
"Everything else is a bad word."
"... yes"
Well, it's the usual pattern. For the fourth time, I don't even get the energy to poke around.
This is the last stone tablet, and it will mean you couldn't find a clue to acquiring magic around the ruins.
But I didn't crush my chances.
If you fight strong enemies and grow spiritually, you may have magic spots (Stiegel).
And for that, I must step between the seals!
Dogowong!!!!
Hitting the tablet, as usual, had a spacious cavity in the back of it.
But things were different between seals.
We didn't see the demon king - instead, there was distortion in space.
Like a black hole, there was a black hole in the middle of the hall.
"What's that? Seems different from" Distortion of Time and Space (Abyss Gate) "... No way, the next Demon King dug a hole in space and ran away!?
"I don't know... you might know something if you put it in that hole"
According to Mr. Noir's map, the Demon King is definitely in this hall.
Then the only thing suspicious is the back of that hole.
"Me, I'm gonna go in for a second!
"You're acting too good. Normally, I hesitate."
"Well, I'll throw in a stone. Fortunately, there are stone tablet fragments rolling around."
I'm tempted to disturb Mr. Noir, so I suggested throwing stones.
"That would be reassuring. You can win with that."
There's just a precedent, and I'm having trouble reacting.
The opponent is the most powerful demon king in the world. Do you want to fight properly if possible to get magic spots, and suppose you throw them with the intention of a light greeting?
"Well done, mighty man."
When I picked up an affordable size stone, I heard voices coming from inside the hole.
"... the Demon King?
When I ask, I hear a suspicious laugh.
"Kukukuku......! Yes! I am the only one who will reign at the apex of all things that live and live as a demon king among demons! An incomparable ruler in a world with a soul-eating alias and dominating decaying life into a future perpetual heist! The most powerful being in the world - The Devil's Emperor (Devil Lord) - who has been forgiven to live in the afterlife and the borders of the world!!
Who is it?
I just thought I was going to call myself "The Emperor of the East (East Road)," and I just ate it.
Besides, there was a catch in the story of "Emperor of the East" because of it.
"Well done, you say... it's like you've been waiting for me to come"
I waited for a strong man like you to show up! Because I've become too strong! Only by fighting the mighty can I unfortunately demonstrate my strength!
Does that mean The Demon Emperor was waiting for someone he could fight with all his might?
"I haven't even fought yet, and you know I'm the strong one?
"Your strength was understood when you ate the souls of the demon kings!
"Have you eaten your soul...?
"I don't know! Eating the souls of the dead makes my life power, my knowledge, even my memory - everything is mine!!
By eating the soul of the demon king I defeated, you mean you got information about Ash Arkvald?
"Anyway, you mean you're gonna fight me, right? Then get out of that hole right now."
"Say no!"
It was forcefully rejected.
"You my! Only the true Powerful will fight for the most powerful Demon Emperor in the world! And I didn't see your strength before! Hence - let me see if I am a strong man who deserves to fight!!
Zuzu...... makes a suspicious noise and the hole widens.
You mean in here?
"Come on - knock over the gates of the trials! If you are a true strong man, you will follow me!!
A trial......
"I want to ask you one thing... does that trial take 300 years or so?
Perhaps the reason it took 300 years for The Ice Emperor to seal the Demon King is in this trial.
I mean, sealing magic is powerful enough to activate in an instant - but it took me a while to meet the Demon Emperor.
"It depends on your strength how many years it takes! It's in the realm of the afterlife and the world during trials, so the flow of time is different! I think a second for you is a day for all the other Ningens!!
You mean a second between trials is equivalent to a day in this world?
Returning from the trials, The Ice Emperor must have felt like Urashima.
"Are you going, it's Ash?
Grandpa Maurice got anxious.
We just spent an hour in the middle of a trial, and in this world, the moon will be flowing for nearly ten years.
Maybe this will be a raw goodbye.
That's why it's worth the challenge.
Stand up to your mighty enemies as you prepare to say goodbye to one of your important ones. That way I can grow spiritually!
"I'm coming!
There was no stray.
The masters also perceived my feelings, and I didn't try to stop them.
"Uhm! Ash would have come home safely... if only he could have me back while I was alive!
I've been waiting for you to come home.
I gave them a powerful nod, and I moved into the hole.
At that moment, the scenery changed.
It's dark, but it doesn't feel dark, it's a strange space.
I don't know how big it is because I don't know how deep it is.
But I know what I need to do.
Trial is a quick story, a rematch.
The Demon Emperor is trying to see if I haven't won by chance or luck - if I've won by strength alone.
One of the geeks stood in front of me in that evidence.
He's wearing a black cloak.
"Come on - it's the dawn of an era of darkness!!
It was the Dark Emperor I was supposed to bury.
