Episode 118

The first time I felt something strange was probably when I heard Leona’s words.

‘I heard it from other people, but the more demons you kill, the weaker the Demon King’s power becomes.’

Even I, who heard it for the first time, was skeptical about whether it was true, but it turned out to be a lie, coming from none other than the mouth of a celestial being.

Then why?

Why on earth would someone spread such false information when Leona was there?

At the time when Leona was conquering this floor, it is said that not only Leona but also everyone else believed the information and slaughtered the demons they saw.

So what’s the benefit of doing that?

‘… … Naturally, there is no benefit to the Demons.’

At best, they can instill in players a sense of danger by watching their own people being massacred, but that’s all.

Would anyone be willing to sacrifice thousands or tens of thousands of their own people to instill that one awareness?

Besides, the player’s goal is to kill the Demon King anyway.

Even if you just let them know that you want to kill the Demon King without needing anything else, you can create the perception that players are dangerous to the Demons.

Leave the easy way behind and take the difficult way.

Should I choose this difficult path and risk the lives of my own people?

It’s not impossible, but it’s still a low probability hypothesis.

But in contrast, the benefits that the Celestials gain are enormous.

‘First of all, reduce power.’

The Celestials and Demons were originally in conflict.

Of course, the fewer the number of demons, the more advantageous it is for the celestials.

And what if the ones reducing that number aren’t the celestials, but rather third-party players?

‘The demons will be dealt with automatically without wasting a single person’s power.’

So then, was it really the Celestials who spread that rumor?

Normally my thoughts would have stopped here, but one more doubt arose in my mind.

‘If the Celestials wanted to massacre the Demons so badly, was it really necessary to convey it through people’s mouths?’

No, wasn’t that statement already in the quest window that appeared to us?

There are so many other ways to convey it to us, so why do we have to convey it secretly, and without revealing ourselves?

That’s not all that’s suspicious.

According to Gariel, the fight between the Celestials and the Demons has been going on for a very long time.

If the Celestials had continued to tell us to exterminate the Demons during that time, the Demons would have been massacred for over 300 times by now.

‘Of course, we didn’t do all 300 Demon King changes.’

If so, wouldn’t there have been any records left during that long period of time?

The information that we are going to kill the Demon King, or that we are going to wipe out the Demon Race?

I felt it from the 21st floor, but this floor we are on now can realize and change on its own.

If they knew that we were going to slaughter them, they would eventually try to kill us first, and if that were the case, the demons that saved us would have immediately turned on me… … .

‘At least it didn’t look like that.’

If it were one or two people, I wouldn’t know, but how could five demons know that and not attack me?

That means the rumor spread relatively recently.

It was only around the time when Leona was conquering this floor that the rumor started to spread.

So then who spread that rumor?

Ironically, despite the rumors that had spread, I couldn’t help but look at the bone fortress that was mixed in with them.

‘This is just a guess, though.’

If the Bone Fortress had spread this rumor.

If you do that and instigate the massacre of the demons by having the players do it, and even hide the fact and pretend to be a good person who protects the demons, then you are infiltrating them.

‘Now it’s a shame to even say it’s disgusting.’

Even if I get caught.

I felt like I would feel relieved only if I killed all the bone fortress guys here and left.

That’s why I’m looking.

If that’s really what they’re doing, we need an ally to expose their true colors.

I’m talking about the Celestials.

‘You haven’t found it yet?’

[I’ll hand over the magic eye, so you’ll try it? Do you think it’d be that easy to turn this big world upside down with just my magic eye?]

The spider was jumping around in anger.

If you leave it like that, they’ll find it anyway, so just leave that side as is.

“Gerald.”

“……Why are you calling me?”

I smiled and said to Garriel, who still had an anxious look on his face.

“Don’t worry too much, Leona will find out soon enough.”

“……Is that really true?”

Then, Geral looked at Leona.

Looking at Leona, who still had her mouth shut and a look of dissatisfaction on her face, Geral whispered softly.

“I appreciate it if you just listen to me. But that lady here… isn’t it.”

The conflict between the two was still deep and showed no signs of being easily resolved… … Indeed.

What will happen between these two when they find out the truth?

Thinking so, I walked towards Leona.

“Do you still think the same way?”

“……you.”

Leona, who recognized me, sighed and muttered to me in a voice full of discontent.

“I’m not saying they’re wrong, but let’s face it. Do you think I chose this because I like it? It’s just…….”

I gently stopped Leona with my hand and calmed her down as she tried to vent out something that had been pent up inside her, as if something was bothering her.

“Just calm down for now. There’s still a lot we have to do.”

“……ha.”

As I said, Leona was taking deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling.

[The necromancer, found.]

Everyone turned their heads towards the spider, who suddenly opened his eyes and spoke.

And then he turned his head towards me again.

“What distance?”

[Two days if you move as fast as possible. If this dragon uses its abilities… I don’t know.]

“Move while hiding your presence as much as possible.”

Papat.

As soon as I ran in the direction the spider pointed, everyone except the spider started to follow me, although they were confused.

“Where on earth are you going!”

When Leona, who couldn’t stand it anymore, said that, I jumped over the lava at my feet and said.

“Where the celestials live, the intersection of the heavenly world and the demonic world.”

“what?”

Even while I was so confused, I asked Dracolich for some magic.

[This is movement magic!? I’ll try it!]

The time that was expected to take two days was suddenly reduced to two hours.

***

“Is this the border?”

chin.

When I saw the sight before my eyes, it felt real again.

Seriously, the Demon World is a fucking tough place to live.

[… … Even though I had already seen it with my own eyes, it was even more amazing when I saw it in person.]

It was a world that seemed to be made entirely of brightness.

Instead of barren soil, the white earth is covered with green trees laden with fruit, and yet there are absolutely no clouds blocking the sunlight…

A world that is the complete opposite of the Demon World, a world where even the slightest hint of evil seems absent.

That place was heaven.

“So, the reason you came here was to meet the Celestials. You?”

“Yes, I have something to do after meeting the Celestials.”

To be exact, it was close to the point where the only ones who could help me with my work were the Celestials.

It was at that moment that I was about to take a step towards the heaven that seemed to be made of clouds.

“Stop.”

With a thin voice, an arrow flew in from somewhere and stuck itself into the ground in front of me.

When I turned my head in the direction where the arrow had come from, there was a woman in pure white clothes with wings flying down from the sky.

“This area is off-limits. If you try to approach any further, I will shoot you.”

“Are you a celestial?”

Although I had seen them once as undead, the sight of a living celestial was definitely enough to say that they were shining brightly.

Of course, the pure white skin, the beautiful voice, and even those wings.

Yes, does the angel that those holy people used to shout about every day look like that?

There was no ring on his head.

“……They don’t seem to be disguised demons. Are they players? Why are there players here all of a sudden?”

Meanwhile, the celestial being who had been observing us closely flapped his wings and landed in front of us.

From their perspective, it was probably a rare opportunity to see us, so they seemed surprised by our visit.

“It’s nothing else, but I would like to meet with your superior to discuss something related to the demons.”

“That’s difficult. The captain is not the type of person who can come out without any promise…….”

Swish.

When she heard the word ‘demon’ from my words, she aimed her bow at me with her eyes slightly narrowed.

“There’s no need to hear any stories about the Demons, just get out of here right now.”

But I don’t really try to shoot, I guess I consider it my last mercy.

“Then it would be fine if you just conveyed it, but is that not possible?”

“You’re not communicating, if you don’t leave right now I’ll shoot, one, two……”

three.

Phew!

An arrow suddenly flew in and was shot, leaving an afterimage like light.

Of course, looking at the trajectory, it didn’t really fit my body, and it seemed like it was meant to fall around and threaten me… … .

“Is this a preemptive strike?”

Crunch.

As my arrow split in two on Leona’s sword, the female celestial’s face turned red with confusion.

“Ah, no. Wait a minute…….”

“Then we have no choice but to respond.”

Swish.

Leona, who had skillfully cut down the arrows with her thick broadsword, quickly raised her sword and strode toward her.

“Don’t kill me.”

The celestial woman shouted urgently as she said that.

“S, it’s an attack! Everyone gather together!”

Then, all of a sudden, the sound of flapping wings could be heard from beyond.

And as I watched the countless soldiers flying in, almost covering the sky, I couldn’t help but laugh.

“I don’t think it would be an earthquake at that level.”

Because, compared to my undead, they were too weak.

[Of course, Father.]

[Who are they picking a fight with?]

“……Do we really have to fight?”

“I was already annoyed, so this is good.”

Of course, just in case, I made a firm request.

“Don’t kill me.”

My undead launched an attack on those who had just arrived towards us.

[How dare you attack our father!]

Phew, ahhhhhh.

As soon as Dracolich’s breath was unleashed, the celestials immediately shouted in surprise.

“Hey, it’s a dragon!”

“Run away! Why on earth is a mythical creature here!”

“Eek! They’re coming this way!”

Certainly, the name of the original Dracolich, the Dragon Clan, seemed to be valid even on this floor.

Of course, it’s not like only Dracolich is effective.

“Watch out! If you make eye contact with that guy, you’ll turn to stone!”

“That guy is spitting something out of his mouth too! Aaaah!”

“Knight! The knight has infiltrated!”

This was because I was advancing while literally wiping out my other undead, Leona, and the celestials.

Of course, my goal wasn’t to beat up these guys, so I was anxious about when they would come.

“Everyone stop!”

I see the thing flying in front of me with a loud roar, and I hear someone muttering.

“Yes, sir!”

Only then did my anxiety ease.
