Episode 116

Bubbling.

Leona screams as her armor burns in the boiling lava.

“Gyaaaah!”

“Hold my hand!”

As I grab Leona who is jumping up and down, a beam of ice immediately shoots out from the Dracolich’s mouth and blocks the lava stream in front of me.

[Not far!]

“Move quickly.”

Tatt.

The ice floor crumbles a beat later with a crunching sound as soon as you step on it.

I broke out in a cold sweat when I saw the lava flowing out again through the gap.

“To survive in a place like this, I don’t know about anything else, but I think I know why those Demons are so strong.”

It is a world so cruel that it seems as if the environment itself will not accept any living beings.

A place where it’s not about surviving and being strong, but where you can’t survive if you’re not strong.

Is this the demon world?

[Is it possible that climbing several mountains is this difficult?]

The environment was so harsh that even the grumbling of a common spider was understandable, but there was one reason why we kept going.

“Still, it seems like we’ve all arrived.”

It was because of the land ahead of me, now close enough to be seen with the naked eye rather than the eye of the beast.

“Those weapons… are probably those of the Celestials and Demons? If I take them and sell them, I might make some money.”

Meanwhile, Leona is eyeing the weapon that seems to be stuck in place of the tombstone.

When I saw Leona like that, I was about to say something harsh, but before I could, Geral reprimanded Leona.

“Are you out of your mind? Do you know what that weapon is used for?”

Leona was surprised by the sudden reprimand and kept her mouth shut. In the meantime, we passed through the boiling lava ground and arrived there in an instant.

‘This is a real scam.’

A land that exudes a very strong spirit, as if one or two people are buried there.

Leona frowned involuntarily at the ominous atmosphere.

“Oh my, that’s creepy…….”

Of course, that is only in her case as a living person.

The undead under my command had a much more relaxed expression, as if they were familiar with the aura.

[… … I feel like I’m home.]

[It’s comfortable, Father.]

“It feels like old memories…….”

It was nice to be lost in the sentiment, but the fact that they reacted like this meant that they were buried here.

Immediately I put the swindle on my feet and spread it on the ground.

Ss …

‘… … Wait, why are there so many?’

I expected there to be no corpses, seeing as there were black and white flags stuck in the ground, but there were far more corpses buried down there than I had thought.

A situation where nearly ten thousand people are buried in an area that is roughly the size of a small village.

‘I wonder if the demons are buried together with the celestials.’

In a situation where even such doubts arose, I immediately began to breathe life into the nearest corpse.

Ddddddd.

In an instant, white finger bones emerge from the ground, and a voice is heard.

‘… … What the? I’m definitely dead.’

Unlike the rattling, rattling jawbone, the words I hear in my head.

I asked the undead, who was muttering in confusion, straight away.

“Hey, are you a celestial? Or a demon?”

‘… … I’m a demon, but why is that… … .’

shit.

I thought there were a lot of them. Did they really bury both the Celestials and the Demons?

After collecting the fraud and putting that demon to rest, I started to revive the other undead one by one.

‘Are you a demon?’

‘It’s a demon tribe.’

But maybe I was unlucky, only the demons were revived five times in a row, and the celestials were nowhere to be seen.

If I hadn’t heard from the fifth undead that the celestials were buried here, I would have given up long ago.

‘Are you a celestial or a demon?’

So after the sixth attempt, I revived him.

‘I am a celestial!’

An undead who claims to be a celestial.

Without even a moment to rejoice at finally finding the Celestials, I got straight to the point.

‘I need information to kill the Demon King. Can you give me some of the information you know?’

Since the Celestials and the Demons have been in constant conflict, it was an action that came out of the calculation that this guy would naturally help me in my attempt to kill the Demon King.

‘You’re going to kill the Demon King? You?’

The guy seemed flustered as if he couldn’t believe me, but that didn’t last long, and soon he started telling me everything he knew.

‘… … First of all, since you seem to know nothing, I’ll explain the basics. The Demon King is not chosen from among the Demon Tribe, but is born in the Demon World itself. The Demon Tribe are basically just by-products of the Demon King.’

I was wondering why the quest wouldn’t end even though the Demon King kept dying because of the quest, and it turns out there was this reason.

No matter how many demons you kill, you can’t stop the birth of the Demon King.

‘So when that Demon King dies, does that mean the next Demon King will be reborn right away?’

‘That’s true, but they say that if the Demon King dies too early, the energy of the Demon World will be greatly consumed, and the land will gradually become rough.’

The guy who said that looked around and then muttered, clicking his tongue, a sound that no longer exists.

‘Even so, how could the Demon World have become this rough? … What on earth happened?’

‘It’s long, so to speak.’

And I had no intention of teaching you in the first place.

Anyway, as we were passing on the information we had obtained from this guy to the others, Leona asked as if she had been waiting for it.

“First, we need to catch the Demon King! Ask if there’s any way to weaken the Demon King or something!”

“It was going to be like that anyway.”

Her voice, not yet connected as she was not yet undead, did not reach this celestial, so instead I relayed her words to the celestial.

‘A way to weaken the Demon King or catch him easily? Is there such a thing?’

But the celestial asked Leona’s words in a voice that seemed to ask what she was talking about.

‘If there was such a thing, we would have been the first to use it, really! If you ask me to teach you a method that doesn’t exist, what am I supposed to teach you?’

‘Someone else said that if you kill the demons, the demon king will be weakened.’

Even when Leona told him how she had previously passed the 24th floor, the guy just opened his eyes wide as if he had no idea.

‘If you kill the demons, the demon king will be weakened? Didn’t I tell you! The demons are just a byproduct of the demon king’s emergence! Even if we kill all the demons, it won’t have even the slightest effect on the demon king!’

When I relayed the words of the Celestials who were driving the wedge, Leona let out a strange sound as if she was greatly shocked.

“Eeeeek!? Really?!”

But then another question arises.

Why did you so cleverly fabricate the facts to make it seem like all the demons had to be massacred?

What’s the benefit of doing that?

While I was thinking like that, a spider suddenly came in.

[Hey, so that guy called the Demon King is someone who has no influence whatsoever on the Demon Clan?]

‘Huh? If you look at it that way, it’s not true.’

A spider with a dark expression on its face.

I wondered why, but then I realized it when I saw the guy’s expression darkening even more as the celestials continued speaking.

‘They say that the Demon Race is a byproduct of the Demon King, but if you look at their roots, they are all the same in that they were created by the Demon World. To the Demon Race, the Demon King is like their king… … Well, it could be closer. I don’t know the details.’

Spiders are also chimeras, originally insects that crawled on the floor, but were given self-awareness through great magic.

Since the king of the chimeras that followed in the footsteps of such a spider is a spider, it is possible that the spider feels a sense of kinship with that demon king.

[I see… … I see.]

The celestial, who had been staring at the retreating spider for a moment, soon looked at me and muttered.

‘By the way, are you really planning on dealing with the Demon King?’

‘But is there a problem?’

If it were a normal person, they would probably say I was crazy or tell me not to underestimate the Demon King.

But at least this celestial seemed far removed from those ordinary guys.

‘No, I’m just curious as to why you insist on killing the Demon King.’

I see you asking me questions instead.

‘I thought it was the same as the bone fortress or something that came and went before, but I don’t think that’s the case.’

‘… … Fortress of Bone?’

The fortress of bones came and went?

While he was flustered by the unexpected situation, the guy continued talking as if nothing had happened.

‘Yeah, those guys asked me for information about the Demon King just like you, but then they said there wasn’t anything useful and moved on. I wonder what they’re doing now.’

As soon as the words “Fortress of Bone” came out, it was none other than Garriel who reacted immediately.

“Guys… Could it be that, just like what they did to Ariasel, that Demon King guy is also…?”

On the 22nd floor, the Bone Fortress guys were planning to use the Geralt race itself as their puppet by joining hands with Ariasel.

Given what the guys were doing, it was quite possible that this floor was following a similar pattern.

“……I don’t really have any connection with that tribe, but I don’t like them.”

Garriel looked at the village in the distance and sighed.

From the guy’s perspective, it certainly seemed like it could be done, but…

“Wait a minute, what’s going on right now?”

Leona, unaware of the situation, heard the words from Geral and came to a conclusion different from what she had expected.

“……Don’t misunderstand, you. I think it’s okay to use those guys like this.”

“what?”

It wasn’t just me who was surprised by those words, but Geral too, but Leona still spoke with a stern face.

“The 24th floor is different from the other floors. If you are on the floor and the Demon King dies, all players on that floor will be considered to have passed.”

She added that it must be accurate, since she heard it from someone who had previously cleared the 24th floor with her in the safe zone.

“If the Bone Fortress guys are doing something similar anyway… this floor is structured so that you can’t clear it without their attention. You know that, right?”

Killing the Demon King.

It’s true that I haven’t been able to come up with a way to bypass or replace this quest requirement.

“Anyway, those guys are going to do something to take advantage of these guys soon, so if you just wait until then, you can go straight to the 25th floor.”

As Leona was about to continue speaking, Geral suddenly interrupted her, as if he couldn’t hold it in any longer.

“Are you out of your mind, officer!”

To him, who had almost fallen into the clutches of the Bone Fortress, Leona’s words were no different from poking at his own wounds.

“Do you think I’m good!? But what can I do when I have no choice!”

But Leona did not back down and shouted at Garriel.

“Can you think of a better way than this? The revenge you so desperately want to take will have to go beyond this level, right?”

And looking at those two, the spider just smiled something close to mockery.

[……under.]

The spider’s eyes were turned towards Geralt with an expression that seemed somewhat sad.

The situation suddenly became so tangled that I felt dizzy for a moment.

“Everyone shut up.”

But that doesn’t mean I can just sit still.

I stopped them both.
