597. [STAGE 35] Struggle (3)
The midnight sun that slowly raises itself – In front of another newly appeared Lord of the Flies, all of a sudden I heard all my thoughts.
Will the absolute order placed in the first midnight sun in Paris work?
If it doesn’t work, is there any other way left?
What if everyone who is still breathing decides to die and fight?
Or, if you surrender from the start… ?
If it’s not game over, if only we can somehow continue this fight… .
‘Like the old goblin god king, even if it’s an unexpected reinforcement… !’
With such false hopes, I tried to turn my gaze to the north-
“…!”
The next moment, I urgently turned my gaze to the south.
something… someone else
It was approaching from the south.
[“what… ?]
It wasn’t just me. The Lord of the Flies Midnight also looked south in bewilderment, and the heroes standing all over the ruined city also looked south one by one.
Eagle Eagle… .
The southern field still burning in the aftermath of the explosion.
It splits the center of the explosion core that still emits dazzling light and magical light.

I saw a walking being.
In the deep, deep, heat-soaked night,
A man was standing.
Even though it’s far away from here, the power that its existence exudes is so strong… I had the illusion that I could see clearly.
Dressed in a neat black-and-white suit, with long black hair hanging down the back… .
And a being with a shining golden dragon’s eye.
It took on a human form, but I couldn’t help but know. That’s never human.

Is it an illusion? As he walked, the light seemed to recede.
The flames and magic light around the center of the explosion retreated behind the excellent water, and the man walked the path between them and headed straight for the crossroads.
In the game, I only saw the ‘real face’, so it was the first time I saw a human face… I thought I knew who the opponent was.
“Gwains are also beings that have only been heard through stories.”
Dusk Bringer, who was standing next to me and holding his bloodstained shoulder, struggled to open his mouth.
“The end of the Age of Myth, where I fought with my ancestors… .”
Upon hearing the man’s true identity, I closed my eyes tightly.
“… He is the jet-black dragon king.”
Nightmare corps leader rank 1. Black Dragon Lord.
The owner of the late night. first midnight.
Darker than the deepest night. the one who brings down the sun The one who swallows the moon. Closing the world –
“Night-Bringer… .”

He extinguished the flames raging in the southern plains with only the force of darkness he was born with.
The king of the black dragon walked straight toward the crossroads with a dignified gait. White Night glared at the black dragon.
3rd in rank, the Great Emperor of Magic. And the No. 1, Black Dragon.
If these two nightmare corps commanders fight together, it will be difficult to block even the Crossroads in perfect condition in the first place.
But, nonetheless- I didn’t give up and kept an eye on it.
Anyway, the sudden appearance of this man… it’s a variable
Perhaps, although it is a slim possibility, a way out may appear here.
that buck… .
It seemed like they were walking lightly, but the Night Bringer had arrived in front of the Crossroads before they knew it.
He was carelessly holding a load in one hand… Upon closer inspection, it was a person.
Gray hair tangled in a mess, bloody body. And a ragged robe torn to shreds, and a worn-out iron sword tied to one hand… .
“…!”
Only then did I realize the identity of the person the black dragon was holding in one hand.
It was nameless.
The Black Dragon, who came right up to the site of the collapsed South Gate, insincerely threw the cotton ball forward. The black dragon’s black lips parted, and an emotionless voice came out.
[… I was a little late because this dethroned princess stopped me.”]
Moo-myeong rolled on the floor, unable to let go of a groan. Like a brush drenched in her red paint, her floor was covered with blood every time she touched the ground.
I was about to run out urgently to check on the state of obscurity, but the black dragon stopped me with words.
“He didn’t die. If I could have killed him, I would have torn him to pieces hundreds of times.”
“….”
I glared fiercely, but the black dragon only lightly moved its eyes and met my eyes only once. He didn’t show any action.
[Night Bringer… !]
The white night that flew up into the sky poured out terrible hostility in all directions and landed in front of the black dragon.
Only then did the Night Bringer move his face, raise his bored eyes, and face the midnight sun.
thud-!
The huge body of the Midnight Sun that landed on the ground made the ground shake.
All the humans around were staggered, but somehow the Night Bringer didn’t shake even a speck of dust.
The midnight sun gnashed its teeth while scattering a magical red light from its compound eyes.
“What’s going on here!”
[… I wonder if someone said it was a magician? It has become quite ugly.”]
“Answer any questions! why are you here It must have been this Paris corps that went out in this flood?”
“Are you prolonging your life by stealing the body of that fly corps? That’s right… Disgusting.”
A small smile appeared on the corner of the Night Bringer’s mouth for the first time. It was an obvious laugh.
“As long as you can avoid death, it doesn’t matter what kind of disgrace you suffer, White Night? This is why things called riches.”
“shut up… ! Answer any questions! This flood is Parisian! You must not go out! Didn’t the King of Kings decide that!”
[The fly corps stole my things and went out, so I just chased them out.]
The Night Bringer touched the collar of the suit and tilted his head to the side, then opened his golden eyes straight and looked up at the midnight sun.
[I just came to find something I should own.]
[“It’s something you should own… ?]
“Isn’t it there?”
The Night Bringer raised his index finger and pointed at the Midnight Sun’s hand.
[Wang Hall.]
[…!]
Bakugou was startled and squeezed his hand tightly. It was a clumsy move, like a child hiding a toy from its parents.
As if knowing that the royal scepter was hidden in the midnight sun’s hand, the Night Bringer chinned.
“It is the symbol of the King of Kings. The one who commands all the nightmare corps commanders in the War of 10,000 Demons – belongs to the Demon King.”
[….]
[I don’t know what mistake Cromwell, who was in charge of the acting authority, made the stupid leader of the Devil Guards, so that the royal scepter rolled over to the royalties here.]
All over the body of the midnight sun as she quietly listened to the story – the red compound eyes of all the flies that made up her body flashed one after another.
The Lord of the Flies’ body slowly began to seep with mana. The Night Bringer continued quietly.
[The demon king is in confinement, and now I have killed Cromwell, the acting man, and usurped the throne of that hell. Finally, I have become the new king of nightmares.”]
[….]
“Of course, the scepter is also mine. Gently return it, Baekya.”
A smile formed on the corner of the white night’s mouth. That smile was also a mockery.
[What if?]
“Hoo… Is there a reason?”
[“Isn’t there only one reason… !]
Behind the midnight sun, the darkness of the other world was spreading in brilliant colors, and it formed the shape of wings spread like a neural network.
From the wide-spread wings, no, from the whole body- the Midnight Night roared, emitting a suffocating morale.
[Because I am also aiming for the throne-hegemony!]
[“indeed… .]
The Night Bringer nodded.
“okay. If you don’t have that much ambition, how can you be the head of a group.”
[Now, I command and command the two forces, Lich and Paris!]
The White Night, Lord of the Flies, declared in a voice that resounded hundreds and thousands of times.
[With the infinite magical power provided by the constantly breeding flies, and the endless eternal life provided in the endless breeding- I will start a new life as a new lich that will never die!]
Huwook-
The night wind blew. The Night Bringer’s long black hair waved and covered the Dragon King’s neat black suit like a mantle.
Between the sporadic black hair, the half-closed golden eyes opened as if tired.
[You’ve come to a disastrous conclusion, mage.]
[“Say what you like, I… .]
Tuhak-!
Magical power swirled and gathered in the two wings spread behind it, and the white night shot forward with terrifying momentum.
[I will ascend to heaven by any means and reach that heavenly seat!]
Countless flies that made up the entire body of the midnight sun stared at the Night Bringer with eyes shining in their compound eyes.
The childish ‘gaze’ of all those enemies materialized as a curse and changed into a huge spear held in both hands in the midnight sun.
The Midnight Sun slammed the spear into the Nightbringer.
“after.”
The Night Bringer let out a small sigh and took a step forward gracefully with one shoe on.
[It’s insignificant.]
As he fluttered the hem of his suit, he put one hand forward and grabbed it.
Kwaak-!
In the next moment, the upper body of the white night disappeared.
“…?!”
Everyone watching this scene widened their eyes.
An invisible, intangible force – no, ‘Night’ grabbed the upper body of the Midnight Sun and crushed it.
Like the previous fights, this blow was truly transcendent.
Mortals can never match… It was such a force.
“you.”
Watching the white night with his upper body blown away, the Night Bringer who raised his hand in the air indifferently groaned.
“You are not in a position to stand against me.”
Cheerreuk-
The Lord of the Flies, hesitantly retreating, formed a new woman by recombining the flies with only the lower body remaining.
As more than half of the flies had died, the size of the newly created White Night was much reduced.
The white night clearly showed a sense of bewilderment at the overwhelming difference in power.
“what-”
The Night Bringer waved his hand.
“Peace be patient with the scepter, insect. It is too much for you.”
[“shut up… .]
The shivering body of the white night began to slowly disintegrate.
[I can continue my life even if only one remains… But you, no matter how much you are a dragon, have only one life.”]
[….]
[If I have to get rid of you anyway, I will kill you somehow right here right now!]
grasp-!
The white night’s body was scattered.
The white night, which had turned into countless flies, took the form of a black cloud and attacked the Night Bringer from all directions.
At the end of the coffin in the mouth of all the flies, a red curse flowed.
What effect did that curse have, and how did it try to kill the Night Bringer. I couldn’t find out.
damn… !
As the black dragon clicked his fingers annoyedly, the flies that fell toward him disappeared cleanly like the night sky clearing dark clouds.
[If only one animal could survive.]
The Night Bringer spat out indifferently.
[It’s enough to erase every single one.]
Among the innumerable swarms of flies that disappear one after another… .
There was one very small fly that hurriedly slipped back and escaped.
“Where are you going, white night?”
The Night Bringer reached out and snatched the fly with intangible power, threw it at his feet and—
[Whether you are a great king or a great emperor, accept the end befitting the position you call yourself.]
[“No no! I, my eternal life… !]
Kwadeuk.
trampled to death
Unable to even express his despair, the midnight sun was crushed by the Nightbringer’s shoes and died.
It was an incredibly futile end that came to her who had been living in all kinds of ways.
The black dragon’s luxurious leather shoes lightly pressed against the floor. And then, without checking once, the Night Bringer walked forward.
towards me
no… Toward the scepter of the Lake Kingdom that fell in front of me.
When the Night Bringer stopped walking and flicked his index finger up, the scepter, which had been rolling on the floor, soared lightly into the air.
The Night Bringer, who lightly snatched the scepter with the other hand, looked straight at me. And she opened her mouth.
“This is the first time we’ve met, Player.”
“….”
“I heard that you are the king of kings of people. I am the Night Bringer who has newly become the King of the Kings of Hell.”
King of monsters.
king of people.
We stared at each other silently for a moment.
The jet-black dragon king carefully looked me up and down, then smiled unexpectedly.
“Ask first.”
It was a beautiful, cruel smile.
“How do you want to die?”
