85 – Rest (4)

It felt like watching a disaster movie.

“Ugh—!”

“Eww!!!”

The hordes of monsters that surged in ceaselessly like waves began to devour the demons whole.

“Don’t back down! The Seven Lords are watching.”

The soldier with the axe managed to blow the monster’s head off completely. However, the monster then struck him and sent him flying into a far wall.

I looked at the situation while holding the blunderbuss.

‘shit.’

The situation was already complicated. The appearance of an uninvited guest made things completely chaotic.

I pulled the trigger.

The blue magic bullet washes away the demons as if it were washing them away. However, the demons behind them fill their place again.

‘There are too many numbers.’

A seemingly endless procession. I looked at the Lord of Destruction above the central demon.

The only one who could deal with demons was the Lord of the Black Sea.

But- how can he handle monsters?

furthermore.

‘Why did you come here?’

To say that he came to help the overlord – his methods were too radical.

Moreover, the man who abandoned the throne on his own initiative is now joining Ariel.

It was a ridiculous story, given the nature of a proud man.

If that’s the case, then it’s definitely a case of seeking revenge.

“Marilyn-! Aim for the Lord of Destruction.”

“I know.”

Whatever the reason, the guy is not a very welcome guest.

If we can kill that b*stard once and for all with Marilyn’s help, we can avoid any trouble in the future.

“Put your pressure down!”

Marilyn draws her holy sword. A white flash of light extends in a straight line and explodes.

The road opened up for a moment. Marilyn ran without hesitation.

“Come down to this world, Lion. Erase all living things.”

A skeleton wearing a black robe swings a scythe. But Marilyn kicks the ground and rises above her head. Then she leaps once more.

“!”

The distance between me and the Lord of Destruction narrowed in an instant.

Marilyn swung her sword horizontally. But- the lion that appeared quickly parried it with his scythe.

“Marilyn-!”

Marilyn was pushed back and slammed into the wall.

“I’m okay.”

“You’re tough, warrior. Better than the Seven Lords. But- I have no business with you. I just want to kill that guy and that girl.”

The Lord of Destruction pointed to the Overlord behind him. Incidentally, the Overlord was smiling as if he found it amusing.

“So? Are you going to ask me to get out of the way?”

“That’s funny.”

A huge shadow loomed over the sky, and a skeleton grabbed Marilyn’s head.

“!”

“It’s not a request, it’s an order.”

The skeleton threw Marilyn. She flew for a while and then crashed into the lake.

‘… Did you lose a lot of strength because of the fight with the overlord?’

If it was Marilyn, she would have killed the Lord of Destruction a long time ago. But now, when her stamina was so low, fighting the Lord of Destruction might have been impossible.

Thud thud.

The Lord of Destruction approached me.

“You are next to the overlord.”

A guy who glares at Ariel coldly and then approaches her.

‘That confident attitude… Did I get my wish?’

I knew it in my head.

Even with hundreds of wishes that would enhance his fighting prowess, he can’t touch a single hair on Ariel’s head.

but-

‘…Why am I so anxious?’

In the first place, a wish is a mysterious force created by the condensation of earnest desires.

No one can predict what kind of abilities it will have or what kind of ripple effect it will have.

“Where are you going? Are you running away?”

In the end, I kicked the ground. I couldn’t shake off the uneasy feeling.

“You must have said you were next in line to the Overlord.”

Hundreds of monsters line up to block my path.

I pulled the trigger, but it was no use. There were just too many monsters.

“Seven Lords. Leave this to me!”

At that moment, white light poured down from the sky like rain.

The bodies of the monsters began to flow out. The path opened up little by little. It was Saint Lin.

She’s been fighting the monsters ever since. She doesn’t look like she’s in good shape, but I have no choice but to leave her to them for now.

“request.”

**

“Your Majesty, it’s been a while.”

Thud thud.

The Lord of Destruction approached Ariel.

“Yeah. Judging from your expression, it looks like you came here to kill me.”

“You know very well. If you asked me to spare your life, I would consider saving it.”

Ariel started to laugh, holding her stomach. The Lord of Destruction’s expression turned rotten.

“Hehehe- haha! You’re going too far with this joke. You know it too. You can never kill me with your own strength.”

“Is that really so?”

Sigh.

The corners of the Lord of Destruction’s mouth went up. Ariel tilted her head.

“I guess there’s a corner of faith. Well, fine. If you can kill me, kill me. You’re welcome!”

“You arrogant b*tch. I’ll give you whatever you want.”

A red light emanated from the hand of the Lord of Destruction. Ariel’s eyes lit up like a curious girl’s, and she snickered.

“There was a wish – it really existed.”

“Thank you. Thank you for telling me, Your Majesty.”

It was she who told the past monarch of destruction about his wish.

Kwakwakwakwang!

Light burst out and engulfed Ariel’s body.

“This is a wish called Drain. Just one person. It can absorb all the power of the person you wish.”

It was as he said. Ariel felt herself quickly losing strength.

“…really?”

“Heh heh! Are you scared? Your Majesty. Are you afraid that I will become stronger than you?”

“No, are you sure you’re okay?”

“It’s okay – the Seven Monarchs you like are next! This world will become hell, hahaha!”

Ariel sighed with a look of despair on her face.

I thought there would be a lot of resistance, but surprisingly, she seemed to agree.

Regardless, the Lord of Destruction clenched and unclenched his fist as he felt the destructive power flowing into him.

“What incredible power. And yet, with such power, you foolishly choose to coexist with humans. How stupid.”

“Your choice. You won’t regret it.”

Zzz.

The ground splits apart.

The body of the Lord of Destruction began to swell like a balloon.

“Hey, what’s going on here?”

It was strange. I was clearly overflowing with power, but I couldn’t control it.

“How can you put a lake of water in a small glass?”

The Lord of Destruction quickly canceled the use of Drain.

but.

“Hey, I can’t stop! Ariel! Save me!”

It was out of control. It just flowed in like a mighty waterfall.

“I wonder how big it will get. It will probably burst soon, right?”

“Euuu-!”

Before he knew it, the body of the Lord of Destruction had grown as large as the castle of the Great Monarch.

But Ariel looked brighter than ever.

I felt it.

The curse of immortality was broken.

Death is the moment when we can attain eternal rest.

“Bah, how. If you’re four years old, you’ll know how! If my body bursts, you won’t be safe either. Everyone here will die!”

Ariel looked around.

Demons and humans are fighting a bloody war against each other.

Now it was all good.

I was just dreaming of a comfortable rest.

“doesn’t care.”

“Seven monarchs! Even the Seven Monarchs will die?”

“… … .”

Ariel’s mouth closed at those words.

I didn’t really have any feelings for him.

It was the natural order of the world that humans would die anyway.

It would be natural for it to have nothing to do with me… .

“… … .”

Strangely, I became worried.

Is it because they are the only living creatures who know about their own curse and troubles?

Or else-

“… Hahaha! Alright! Since it has come to this, let’s all die together!”

Ariel closed her eyes tightly and reached out her hand.

The body of the Lord of Destruction began to shrink little by little.

The power is once again flowing back.

“Again. Again because of the Seven Lords! And you can still call yourself a demon?! Because of a mere uncivilized human!”

An even more intense light emitted from the body of the Lord of Destruction.

It was a vast light, incomparable to before.

“…what are you doing?”

“I changed my mind. We’re all going to die together like this.”

Ariel tried to regain her original powers – but much of it had already been taken away.

It was virtually impossible to push back the drain of the Lord of Destruction.

Tsk tsk tsk!

The earth splits open. The Lord of Destruction swells up to touch the sky.

“Stop it now… .”

“What? You can’t even hear me because I’m only making noise. There’s nothing that can stop me.”

At that moment, the body of the Lord of Destruction was about to explode.

Someone pulled Ariel’s body.

“!”

At the same time, the whole world is bathed in white light, and one by one, everything begins to disappear completely.

Structures, land, mountains, lakes. There was nothing to obscure.

Everything is erased as if it never existed in the first place.

Except for the back of the man in front.

“…Gerard?”

It was a beautiful sight.

While everything is being erased.

It seemed like there was a strong barrier magic behind the 7 lords. They were fine.

The demons, the people, and even the structures were all intact.

Ariel looked astonished for the first time in her life.

This was his immense power. It was impossible for even a god to withstand this power.
