I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party - I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party chapter 163

163 – Demon King Belphegor (2)

Demon King Belphegor (2)

The one who suffered the most damage from Varuna’s decisive blow was none other than the warrior party wandering through the spider web maze.

“Kwaaak!”

Esmeralda was left floundering and screaming strangely as the waves suddenly struck her.

Because she was born in the countryside, she had never seen waves before.

Fortunately, there were cases of swimming in the stream, so no one drowned.

“shit!”

But that only applies to Esmeralda.

Saint Irene, who had seen the sea but never entered it because of pretense, sank immediately.

There’s no way she can swim.

Following this, Milia, who was full of knowledge but weak in body, also sank.

She tried to swim based on her own knowledge.

Unfortunately, another issue is that her great asset, her breasts, got in the way.

‘Did the Demon King’s army notice? But, there’s no one who would know how to use such large-scale water attribute magic, right?’

Esmeralda began to rescue the party members one by one, struggling in the rapids.

The two people, who were unable to even use defensive magic or a barrier due to the sudden situation, were already feeling dizzy and their eyes were spinning.

“Keuk… … .”

After the waves had passed like that, Esmeralda vomited water while leaning against the spider web of Eight, which could hardly be called a labyrinth anymore.

I don’t even think he detects me. It’s such a big wave.

There must be more than one or two things he brought with him, so there’s no way he’d get caught.

“Is everyone okay?”

“Yes… … warrior.”

“I feel sick… … .”

“The prisoner… is alive.”

Irina, who was lying face down on the floor expressing her gratitude, and Milia, who eventually started to vomit out what was inside her. And Twelve, whose existence she had forgotten until the water drained.

Everyone was still alive for a while.

I felt like the value of the captive had been lost, but now that we’ve come this far, there’s no reason to hold on to him.

“however…….”

Esmeralda has a habit.

It is a habit to understand your colleagues. It may seem obvious, but it is harder than you think to do so in a chaotic situation.

Because usually when things are tough and confusing, we only think about ourselves.

However, Esmeralda had experienced Jim’s repeated escapes and was able to quickly sense the vacancy.

“… … Lacrima has disappeared.”

***

The land turns into a sea. The demons on the ground who were fighting far away from the Second are all swallowed up by the waves and disappear.

“haha…….”

Varuna gasped for breath after delivering that absurd blow.

The price for an attack without a follow-through.

Varuna continued to stumble in the air, spewing blood repeatedly.

Even if you receive treatment, you will probably not be able to use your powers for a while.

It was a worthy blow and an attack that brought about a worthy price.

However, Varuna could not feel a sense of accomplishment even though he was out of breath.

Even if it’s just a second before getting hurt, it’s powerful enough to grind it out.

Even though I was already completely wounded after receiving such an attack… … .

“water…….”

Because the second one still maintained its status quo.

In the middle of the vast ocean.

The second, standing on the small ripple, muttered like this.

Couldn’t kill the second.

However, the second is just watching the temporary sea created by Varuna with unfocused eyes.

There was no sign of any intention of counterattacking.

And the twelve thousand felt fear at the sight of that second.

‘no way…….’

Like someone who has realized and attained enlightenment of all things and the principles of the world.

That calm demeanor clearly seemed to indicate a deity.

“I see. It seems that I followed Your Majesty with unexpected sincerity.”

From noble mtl dot nete

In the middle of the ocean, Second finally attained enlightenment.

The life he was considered as the next ruler of the werewolves was certainly the most brilliant time of Second’s life.

Being admired, being jealous, and having the strength to overcome it all.

That was the pride of the second and I judged it to be the main factor that made him a person.

That prickly personality, that look down on others, everything.

I thought that everything came from him, literally traces of life.

But that wasn’t the case.

“I am…….”

The vast ocean.

Water droplets flowing down the body.

Second thought as he watched the water droplets running down his hands.

“This is not the place for you.”

The core of his life was not the plains or the power, but the time he spent wiping away the girl’s tears.

He lived for her. He joined the Demon King’s Army to save her, and he stood in opposition to the First in order to eliminate her threat early.

And he left her behind in the army and walked into the desert himself.

Yes, the man finally understood.

“I wish I could live in a brighter world.”

She wished for a world where she would no longer shed tears.

In the human world, not the barren demon world. That’s why he was able to be loyal to the Demon King.

Lacrima is his life.

It’s his whole life.

Exactly.

A drop of water falls.

Ripples spread out as they follow a man standing in the middle of a vast ocean.

The ripples spreading across the calm sea are as sad as a girl shedding tears.

Yeah, those tears.

Kwaaah!

The moment when the man pledged everything.

At that moment, the blue stream shook.

***

Varuna had a gut feeling.

This fight was lost. The Twelve Thousand failed to kill the Second Commander of the Legion.

The result was quite simple.

“water is…….”

A vast amount of water, like the ocean, called forth by Varuna’s power.

The initiative in all of that was taken away. No, to be precise, it would be more correct to say that the source of it was taken away by the other party.

Something unexpected, something unimaginable.

The fact that the image of the second commander of the legion came from a girl’s tears, not from a meadow or a wide open land.

Varuna’s goal was to drive Second into a state of death or near-death with this blow.

I thought she was the right person.

Because the man named Second was hot as fire and sharp as a storm.

That’s why I thought that since she could handle water, she would be able to attack her opponents relatively safely.

However, the result is the opposite.

Varuna’s attack took the initiative before it even reached the second.

“no…….”

And that means that the damage that Varuna’s attacks inflict on Second is practically zero.

However, she couldn’t continue speaking because she kept vomiting blood.

As if responding to her determination, the twelve thousand people rushed in all at once to finish off the second, but she was unable to stop them in time.

And at that moment.

The once calm waters of the vast ocean rose in an instant.

Soon, the figure of a large woman shedding tears appeared.

The moment the woman’s hand wrapped around Second, the twelve thousand people rushing towards him stopped moving.

“… … .”

Only Varuna, who was away, knew what had happened.

As soon as the water touched Second’s body, the woman’s figure transformed into sharp blades and poured down in an instant.

That’s it.

The moment Varuna understood that, all twelve thousand who had been rushing at Second were torn to pieces and fell to the ground.

After a while, rain poured down from the sky and the sea that Varuna had summoned with his power also disappeared.

The only survivor is Varuna.

However, the second also stops moving as if it has reached its limit.

‘Is this… a golden opportunity?’

It was not possible to stop him from becoming a transcendent being. However, it is not impossible to kill the second who became a transcendent being.

Right now, I can deal with the second that’s just lying around.

However, because of the second’s power that we saw earlier, we cannot move rashly.

What that brief moment of worry brought about was… … .

“Stop it. Or you’ll end up dealing with me too.”

A clown with a crying face.

Lacrima stood between Second and Varuna.

“… … .”

“Are you sure?”

To Varuna, he is better known as Legion Commander Third.

It is not a good choice to turn such a being into an enemy.

Even now, Varuna is vomiting blood and all she can do is fight to the death.

It is impossible to fight and win against a healthy legion commander.

“No, let me back off.”

Varuna eventually had no choice but to squint her eyes and leave.

As he left, Varuna came to a conclusion in his mind.

‘This war is our defeat.’

The Dragon Clan failed to defeat the Demon King’s army.

It’s because he couldn’t overcome the second person, who wasn’t even the first.

Just a step difference.

The result of never being able to narrow down the realm of the transcendent and the non-transcendent.

Varuna left the battlefield, brooding over his defeat.

“Robeno!”

At that moment, when silence descended on the battlefield, Lacrima relaxed.

And then he supported Second, who seemed like he might die at any moment.

“Lac… … Lima… … .”

“Yes, it’s me. Don’t ask me why I came back here. No matter how much you try to push me away, I have no intention of letting you go, you’re the only audience in my circus.”

Lacrima glared at Second with sharp eyes. It was no use trying to chase her away now.

I will never back down.

It was a look that contained such meaning.

“Even if Robeno abandons me, I will stick to you. Even if he kicks me, it doesn’t matter. I will be with you even if I have to cling to his feet tenaciously.”

“okay.”

“I told you not to say no… … . Huh?”

Lacrima tried to push through her stubbornness by cutting off Second’s words, but she realized it too late.

“Don’t go anywhere.”

The second was laughing.

I was relieved because I had resolved the most dangerous moment.

He went into battle alone to protect Lacrima and was eventually able to overcome all dangers.

That’s enough. That’s enough.

All dangers threatening Lacrima could be ruled out.

“From now on, just stay by my side.”

“… … .”

Second. No, Robeno’s true feelings.

Lacrima’s heart was filled with emotion at hearing what she had known all along, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Lacrima, the clown of tears.

Robeno didn’t want to see her tears, but he knew that the tears she was shedding now were tears of joy.

Because we know each other well. Because we truly love each other.

but…….

“Desert is a felony and must be dealt with by military law as soon as it is discovered.”

Phew!

At that moment, a hand made of blood pierced through Lacrima’s heart, who was supporting Robeno.

“According to military law, the former corps commander, Third, should be executed.”

A noble vampire who lives a life with more restrained emotions than anyone else.

The real cause of the anxiety that Second felt was… … .

“Are you alright? Commander, Second.”

It was the return of the First, the Legion Commander.
