Episode 123

The first to react to my words was not the Demon King himself, but Leona.

“Hey, wait a minute. You’re suddenly saying that the Demon King has to die?! What do you mean?”

As if they had come to their senses at Leona’s words, the other undead continued speaking to me as if they were surprised.

[Is that really the only way, Necromancer?]

[Isn’t there another way!?]

The face of the Demon King can be seen between them chattering so noisily.

Judging from the expression on her face, which was as if she was deeply shocked and couldn’t close her mouth, it seemed like she was really shocked.

“Calm down and listen, I clearly said there was a way to solve this without killing a single demon. I didn’t say there was no other way.”

Of course, any misunderstandings must be corrected.

Having said that, I immediately suggested other methods.

“We can either split up our main force and deal with all the Bone Fortress guys before finding a way to bypass the quest, or we can attack the Celestials right away and end the war with the Demons’ victory.”

But in every single process, there was one reason why we couldn’t do it.

“The former means that the bastards won’t go easy on the Bone Fortress guys. They might take the demons hostage or, if they’re going to die anyway, they might just slaughter them and die with them.”

The Necromancers themselves are mostly people who think that rather than dying alone, they should die together, and judging from the actions of the Bone Fortress guys, it was even more likely that they would do so.

The Demon King’s expression, which had brightened slightly at the mention of massacre, darkened even more, and before I could give the latter reason, I looked at the celestials.

“And the latter… who knows how long it might take, and the bone fortress guys won’t sit still during that time, obviously.”

The celestials all looked at me, flinching, but I calmly accepted all their gazes and looked at the Demon King again.

“And, just a guess, if the Bone Fortress guys haven’t given up, they might invade this world again. Until then, are you two just going to keep fighting?”

“…….”

At those words, neither the leader of the Celestial Clan nor the Demon King could say anything and just remained silent.

Well, leaving those two alone, I asked Leona something I had been wondering about for a while.

“Leona, your expression is completely different from when you said you would hold out even if it meant killing all the demons before you came here.”

It was a strange reaction, both in the way he reacted to the Demon King’s work before the Demon King did, and in his facial expression.

But Leona’s expression was slightly stiff in response to my question.

“……I’ll let you know when the 25th floor is finished, there’s not much left anyway.”

That’s how I changed the subject.

Is this related to one of the promises she and I made, that after finishing the 25th floor, I would go to the previous floor of the tower with her?

I had a burning desire to dig deeper, but I turned my gaze away again because there was something more important.

“So, have you decided, Demon King?”

At my words, the Demon King looked at me silently and asked me quietly.

“……Really, if I just die, will all the demons be able to live?”

“Before they notice.”

Players are ultimately subordinate to the tower, and once the quest is complete, they will all be dragged to the safe zone.

“Are you willing to sacrifice?”

“……It’s not certain yet.”

The Demon King seemed to have made up his mind while saying that.

Leona approached the Demon King and spoke to him quietly.

“Is it really necessary to sacrifice? Even if some of the demons are sacrificed, it would be better for you to survive…….”

“What do you know about this, stranger?”

Of course, the Demon King’s voice towards Leona was sharp.

“I can smell the thick scent of blood. You must have come to the Demon World before and defeated countless of our demons. With your own hands.”

Leona protested as if it was unfair to the Demon King who was glaring as if he would kill her at any moment.

“That’s… because those bone fortress guys spread false information…!”

“I know.”

The Demon King still revealed his teeth to Leona.

“I thought it was strange that at some point, all the records of the previous Demon Lords and the Demon Clans were cut off. Thinking about it, it must have been some groundwork they did to deceive me.”

Ugh.

“Since you guys know that you were fooled, it ends here.”

The hands of the Demon King who was speaking like that were trembling.

As if holding back something.

“……Now that I think about it, I didn’t ask your name. What is your name?”

“I don’t know.”

“Morse… Then, could you wait a moment? I need to ask the butler to prepare for the successor.”

“i get it.”

Successor probably means the next Demon King.

And if you think about the conditions for the next Demon King to be born… … .

“I see you’ve decided.”

“……I just need to die, so there’s no need to gamble with the lives of the demons.”

The expression on the Demon King’s face as he spoke was clearly not bright.

Still, if that’s what she wants, I’ll just respect her as much as I can.

As I nod my head and stand quietly to the side, I hear her speaking.

Her appearance, showing surprise and reactions when talking to someone, and talking nonsense… … was definitely not a match for the Demon King.

So that’s why.

“That’s too bad.”

Garriel, who had been watching quietly, suddenly came in next to me.

“You’re here.”

“There is no way to save the Demon King… I guess there isn’t one.”

“I might not have found it. We don’t have much time.”

Since I’d already killed some of them, it was only a matter of time before they noticed something strange.

If you keep looking for more methods, you can’t afford to miss your goal right in front of you.

Unfortunately, this was the best option, not only for her, but also for me.

“……How unfair. At least our world’s problems were solved while everyone was still alive, but that Demon King is destined to die.”

It was bitter, but what can I do?

If the world could only end with a happy ending like a fairy tale, there would be no wars or fighting in the first place.

I’ve already come too far across the river to indulge in such sentiments.

“It’s not fate, it’s the path you chose.”

So that’s why.

I felt like nitpicking a little bit about Garriel’s words.

“Choice? Did that kid really have a choice?”

Despite my blunt words, Garriel simply muttered in a bitter tone.

“If there is only one choice, then it is a choice.”

Haha.

After muttering like that, Garriel stepped aside.

Because it seemed like I saw the Demon King standing there blankly looking at me, as if he had already finished what he wanted to say.

“Is it over?”

“Yes, now we’re preparing to welcome the new Demon King who will appear in the future, and if what you said is true, we’ve also prepared for the Bone Fortress that will invade.”

But before that.

The Demon King added as he looked at the Celestial Leader.

“We still have something to talk about, don’t we?”

“……yes.”

Step, step.

The Celestial Leader and the Demon King walk forward.

The celestials were a bit surprised to see the two coming out as if they had made a promise, but the two people involved continued their conversation without hesitation.

“……I don’t know how many years it’s been, maybe three years.”

“That’s right. If I had known this would happen, why didn’t I have proposed a ceasefire then?”

truce.

As soon as those words came out, the Demon King continued speaking as if he had been waiting for them.

“There was a reason and a justification for it thousands of years ago, but now it’s gotten to the point where it’s just plain annoying, so this is a good thing.”

“Then can I just pass it on to my superiors?”

“Okay, just tell them I did it and the butler will take care of the rest.”

The celestials were mumbling in confusion as the words were spoken in an instant, but I could clearly see what was going on.

Now the Demon King was trying to end the war that had lasted for thousands of years on his own terms.

“Then, is it a brief truce?”

“You have to speak properly, it’s over.”

Even the leader of the Celestials was surprised by those words, flinched for a moment, and then asked again.

“Now that the war is over… I wonder how my superiors will react.”

“If you don’t want to believe it, then don’t believe it. Then, those bone fortress guys will all sweep it away.”

The Demon King snickered as he watched the Celestial Leader flinch at those words.

“Just kidding. If they were that stupid, they wouldn’t have proposed a ceasefire three years ago.”

“……Okay, I understand.”

Then, the leader of the Celestials bowed his head towards the Demon King.

At that moment, not only the Demon King but also the Celestials were surprised and made a noise at the sudden action.

“Thank you for ending this war.”

The leader of the Celestials said so.

And the Demon King’s reaction when he saw that sight was…

“There’s no need to be thankful. I just don’t want my people to suffer from war again.”

He spoke nonchalantly, as if he was just doing what he had to do.

After saying that, she carefully turned her head towards me.

“……Now, everything that needed to be done has been completed. Preparations are complete.”

I nodded to her as if she had made up her mind, and took hold of my sword.

“……Ugh.”

Did you think you’d get cut by that sword?

The Demon King, who seemed nervous for a moment upon seeing the sword, soon asked with a puzzled look as I put the sword away.

“Weren’t you trying to kill me with that? Why are you putting it in?”

“There is a way to make it much more comfortable than this.”

Sarak.

The Demon King, who was startled for a moment by the black energy emanating from my body, looked at me as if he had only just realized it.

“……Yeah, you had the same abilities as those guys.”

Of course, it only lasted for a moment, and she stood still with her eyes closed, as if prepared to die.

A scam comes to her like that.

“I feel strange.”

Thanks to her obedient acceptance, the fraud flowed smoothly into her and slowly put her to sleep.

“It’s more…… comfortable than I thought.”

Still, is it certain that he is the king of a race?

Even though her whole body was filled with evil, she did not die immediately.

“Don’t you feel stuffy or anything?”

“Except for feeling a little sleepy… not at all.”

He only had a slightly lethargic expression on his face, but he was still able to stand on his own two feet.

“But I feel it more and more, that I will die soon.”

“……Aren’t you scared?”

Those words just came out naturally.

I don’t know if it’s out of regret or bitterness.

“A little, no. I’m very scared.”

I found myself sitting facing the Demon King, smiling.

“But… more than being scared, I feel relieved.”

“……A sense of relief?”

Her faint, smiling smile seemed familiar to me.

“Yes, the feeling of relief that the demons will be able to survive… that kind of relief.”

“……Are the demons that important?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

iced coffee.

i get it.

“It’s only been a few years… but still, they are the ones who have been with me since I was born here.”

This was her smile.

Her smile, that of my former colleague, is now gone.

The last smile I saw from her on that day when my life turned into hell.

“……I’m feeling sleepy, my eyes are slowly closing.”

Maybe that’s why.

I caught her body as it tried to fall forward.

“It won’t work… I have to see those guys disappear with my own eyes…”

The Demon King was muttering like that, as if he was sleeping.

“……Morse, I don’t know when that will be……”

Eventually, he even asked me a favor.

“Can you get rid of those guys… those guys… all of them?”

“……What do you believe in me that makes you trust me so much?”

I asked him why he wasn’t suspicious even though he was the same player and used the same power as them.

“……smell.”

She answered like that.

“Because you… didn’t smell our blood….”

I closed my eyes completely.

“……i get it.”

And as if to answer her.

[Completed the 24th floor quest.]

[Check the player’s achievements and receive additional rewards.]

The translucent square window calmly announced her death.
