This is Las Boss, Demon King, "Church" in front of Castle.

Having finished my visit to Claudia, I turned my foot from the royal palace to the papal office.

Walk alone through the corridors within the papal offices, quiet and quiet.

The destination had been decided. It's the Book Tower of the Wise.

As I crossed the hallway, I just ran into a boy, about 14-5 years old, who looked like a cleric apprentice.

"Ko, this is Master Seiklid! Still running errands for the tech development department today?

"... yeah, well"

"Oh, I knew you did! However, the chief is on the move at the request of the Royal Palace."

"Then I'll make you wait. Don't worry."

I met the boy and I walked out the hallway in the agency.

Through the corridor you reach the book tower.

Once inside, I headed from the back facing the wall to the third bookcase.

Push in the red back cover book on the fourth step from the top.

The bookcase made a noise and slid, before which a hidden staircase leading to the basement appeared.

All in all, my sister, who borrowed Luruna's body for a tentative early resurrection - as Lavina told me.

Now that Emilka is absent, there is no other time to get information.

Stand in front of the basement door down a spiral staircase.

It wasn't locked.

When you open the door, it's a dim lab.

There was a faint smell of coffee.

Behind the lab, there was a shadow. A long, silver-haired man sees me and produces a pitch-black blade in his hand.

"Why are you here?"

From the man, I felt a faint upset.

"I wish I could talk to you. Sage."

…………

"To save the world, you are about to be defeated on behalf of the Demon King, bearing all the hatred of this world."

"- Huh!?

A faint upset turns into something big. The black blade that stood without a gap, the moment I heard my words, the clouds scattered away.

"Emilka tells me that way we can save this world, right?

"Bullshit..."

"A fortune teller once said that there are countless different worlds here that are very similar. Didn't you come from another world?

"Why... do that..."

The man's shoulders tremble. I have the same face as myself, so it is a little hard to do, but I continued.

"There's a world I couldn't save trying to save. So at least... I wanted to save only your juniors in this world. Is it not...... Mr. Mark 2?

If I had been myself, I would have thought of too much. But if the wise man in front of you is the record crystal of another world… Mark 2, then all that fighting power, trying to save the world, even sacrificing himself, fits in.

"What the hell..."

"I'm just a high priest. but if you were me, you'd understand."

…………

"I'm a second circle."

"You know what?"

The man's voice turned calm, and his vigilance for me melted away.

"What did you see?"

"Unfortunately, I was present at the end of the world. I want to save you, too, and I'm back with my sacrifice."

"Do you... Emilka... betray me... you betray me?

"Yeah, that's already the worst form, and I'm going to show you the least you want."

"I was aware that the man was dangerous. But... there's nothing I can do. There was no other way of salvation. (Sara) Yes, if you try to take that life in front of the Demon King, you will surely stop me. To that end, Stella reveals herself to be the Demon King, and the brave try to help her knowingly."

"Yes, that's exactly what happened...... but Nina's life is taken at the hands of Prototype VI...... Pi"

A wise man grips his fist in. Let your shoulders tremble and bark.

"Stupid! That's what's happening!

"Take control of Mr. Pi's golem body and let it run wild. Emilka seemed to have planted a clever trap, splitting it into information for upgrade."

When the man in black shut up, he set aside a beat and nodded. Had it been the Golem as well, would it have come to the conclusion that there was room for reflection on that possibility?

"As for Pi's new system of vector control, I had it put back in the old one. but I can't feel safe. You and she created Emilka."

Both of them could have been sending information to Emilka regardless of their own will.

"This conversation or contact may also be sensed"

"Yeah. But even if Mr. Pi put the system back in, there was no particular approach from Emilka. This is hypothetical, but I guess Emilka needs the buds of the Great Divine Tree to gather information."

"That's right. Through the buds of the Great Divine Tree, that man observes various fates"

"The contents of the Great Divine Tree are on my side"

"What... and..."

"The information that was supposed to be passed on to Emilka would not have been noticed because the contents of the Great Divine Tree are successfully false...... no, we are circulating information around"

Sage's mouth shakes faintly.

"That's a lot different..."

"Yes?"

"My... my... man named Seiklid of the world died protecting Nina with his own life. It awakens the Demon King, and the world is doomed."

"My death is the trigger?

"That's right. Your death is equivalent to Nina's. But you in this world have chosen the path of life."

"Right...... right. Perhaps."

Everything we've done so far may all end in vain.

After I disappeared at the final magic price, there was a chance Stella would wake up.

"What's up?

Still...

"That's why I need your help"

I reached out. The man is silent.

When that arm softly went up, he shook my hand back.
