Episode 240. Like a dragon (2)
‘it’ came like a thunderbolt.
“…!!!”
As always, to the demons that ravaged the continent.
Even to the devil who was looking for a comeback.
Even to the devil who was crouching in his castle.
My heart was pounding—
as if I had been electrocuted by lightning.
It froze all the demons in the area.
Everyone is, of course, nameless demons.
Demon of true name.
Furthermore, it meant that even the demon king was no exception.
The demon of tears.
Rank 56, Demon King Gremory.
Using the man crouching on the throne as a stepping stone.
While taking a break, Gremory noticed.
Far away from the Arcana Continent.
A sign that has been passed down from there!
Creepy!
His limbs stiffened with that living.
If it was strange, even the footsteps noticed something unusual.
Did you talk to me with a worried face?
“…why is that, my queen?”
But Gremory couldn’t answer.
‘If I don’t care, my voice might be heard…!’
As I just said.
The presence was felt from far away.
It was so far that you couldn’t hear even a real thunderstorm, let alone breathing. However, in the face of fear, Gremory was unable to think normally.
Hurry up!
Face of the Demon King?
That kind of thing is fine!
Gremory hastily hid behind the throne.
“Queen?”
The voice of the scaffolding calling itself.
Gremory glared at the man with a savage gaze.
Is it because he’s a stupid footswapper and doesn’t even notice?
‘To live out of control…!’
That time when I was holding my breath.
A random thought that came to mind.
…That’s right, if it’s a demonic eye!
If it is a demonic eye that illuminates all over the Arcana continent.
I’ll be able to figure out where the source of this presence is.
Soon, Gremory’s eyes were covered in white.
It was a process to share the vision of the evil eye.
But…
‘…nonsense.’
Nothing was visible.
It was a fleeting moment.
There is no way that the countless Mystic Eyes floating in the night sky disappeared all at once.
Gremory crawled to the window.
After looking up at the sky, I realized why.
“!”
Maan closed her eyes.
Just like yourself, don’t be terrified.
I couldn’t even dare to open my eyes.
‘how…?’
Hurry up!
Gremory crouched down again.
Then I tried to chew on the sensations in my body.
‘It’s been a long time ago, but…’
I’ve definitely felt a similar feeling to this one.
none other than in the realm of demons.
exactly.
‘Bael.’
The first among the Demon Lords of the top ten thrones.
In Baal’s summoning ritual.
Looking up at Baal, he trembled with a similar fear.
‘…I’m afraid of the principal.’
top lord.
Even if you say that you are so stupid that you can’t communicate.
Even that power is not stupid.
Gremory remembered clearly.
What achievements Baal has accomplished.
To the extent that it is safe to say that the omniscience was reversed as it is.
He had led a world to complete ruin.
‘The only thing I was able to escape from that fear was…!’
Baal.
It was because he was sure that the first king of the throne was an ally.
But now it wasn’t an ally.
Gremory glances at the scaffolding man.
‘Humans are not trembling…’
What he meant was simple.
The life it exudes at this moment.
That it was directed only at the same devil as himself.
‘I don’t want to die!’
It was the second time I felt fear.
Gremory wrapped herself around herself using her apricot-colored hair as a blanket.
I was afraid.
Just hope it doesn’t notice itself.
I
earnestly
pray .
what’s so much
I thought it was a spam message for a moment.
Because I didn’t even do anything.
‘The mana hasn’t fully recovered yet.’
Holding on to a cleared rift or opening a portal to the Arcana continent, the bizarre process consumed as much mana as the complex process.
‘I would have been sick for days without the blessing of the World Tree.’
of course.
[The skill ‘Relationship with the Natural Enemy’ is activated.]
It wasn’t much of a problem now that the relationship with the natural enemy was activated.
‘by the way.’
Millions are just the beginning.
I am your nemesis and your fear.
I was the one who bluffed.
‘…Why are you so quiet?’
The moment you step on the land of the Arcana continent.
Wouldn’t the demons run in droves?
Wouldn’t it be necessary to break through the siege of demons and find Yunaxus?
I was the one who assumed the worst and prepared everything.
‘If that’s the case, I’d be grateful.’
Isn’t it the end just by meeting Yunaxus?
If you don’t have luck, there is a possibility that you will collide with the forces that drove Yunaxus to death. There’s nothing wrong with me if the demons are this cooperative. Because you can save power.
“Did you finally realize that a face down look suits you? I will praise you.”
…is this a compliment?
Take a moment to say what you want to say.
I summoned Hiel and Diend.
“Hayel Diend.”
“I have answered the call of Master Highel.”
“It’s a new feeling to meet you here, sir.”
Yes, I am always impressed with your
heartfelt greetings.
Before meeting Yunaxus, I needed to do some preliminary work.
‘Yunaxus is not just a dragon.’
The leader of dragons called elder dragons.
The preparations for the encounter with the old dragon are not over yet.
I gave orders to Hiel and Diend respectively.
“I will obey the will of the High El master.”
Highel disappears into thin air first.
“I will obey your command.”
…For some reason, Diend, who became more and more burdensome, also disappeared to carry out his orders. There was someone who talked to me who was left alone, so I can’t leave out alter ego number 3 again.
-Looking at it again, it’s a bittersweet scene, my lord.
Gwicheol returned to his original state in Illusion Breaker.
‘If this is fortunate, it would be fortunate.’
The moment you clear the code crack.
There is no longer a need to cut through illusions.
As expected of an ego sword with an ego.
Illusion Breaker returned to its original form of ghost iron.
Yes, no matter how much I want to call Gwicheol by name rather than Illusion Breaker… I realized that this is not something to be relieved of again.
-So, what should I cut, Master?
Ear iron this.
It just seemed like it was impatient to be called a new name!
At this moment, signs of the demons in fear felt everywhere.
I thoughtfully shake my head.
Even when only cutting prototypes.
Isn’t it Gwicheol who has awakened with the grandiose name of Illusion Breaker?
‘If you awaken to slash demons…’
…Demon Slayer.
Maybe that kind of feeling would be attached to the name.
Because I imagine reciting that name with my mouth.
I couldn’t help but worry about my shame.
In that sense, I prayed earnestly.
‘Demons, please lie down like that.’
Please keep lying flat.
Please don’t go against Grandfel’s planting.
The snout trembles, whether or not it knows what I am thinking.
“Give iron.”
Why can’t an alter ego follow the real one?
“It would be quicker to start by counting what you won’t cut.”
It’s more than a spoonful of precious iron…!
‘Doesn’t it mean that I have to memorize only dozens of names?’
A name comparable to Illusion Breaker.
Because I think I’m reciting dozens of them.
My hands and feet are already starting to
shrivel
.
What I see in my dimly opened eyes.
The landscape of the desolate continent of Arcana.
The dying old dragon, Yunaxus, laughed.
such as eternal life.
I thought I could throw it at any time.
This moment when the shadow of death crept in.
‘I was afraid of death.’
I realized how arrogant I was.
There was bitterness in Yunaxus’ smile.
The voice of my brother Argentress lingered in my ears.
– “You know nothing.”
-“You, who are perfect, don’t even know what an inferiority complex is.”
-“Blessings were like salvation to us who were incomplete!”
Even if others point fingers at you.
I should have counted your feelings.
In the end, it was only when I died that I came to understand your feelings.
The voice of Yunaxus spread throughout the area.
“Mother… I will obey your will.”
A mother’s plan that begins with her own death.
But even if I close my eyes like this.
Yunaxus didn’t have the confidence to face his mother.
So, as you can see, didn’t he fail to convince himself?
Convocation of all dragons.
Yunaxus that day.
I told the story I had been putting off to my fellow countrymen who were asleep.
The result was now.
Wings severely torn off.
Wounds all over the body that were cut deep enough to reveal muscles.
fading breath.
It was.
What could leave such a scar on the Elder Dragon on the Arcana Continent?
Likewise, it meant that there were only dragons of the same species.
“Everything is my negligence.”
Everything was the result of his own inadequacies.
Yunaxus laughed bitterly again.
No, strictly speaking, it was the result of overestimating his own people.
What would Agentress say if he saw this?
‘Don’t admit it. I must have been an older brother worse than my younger brother.’
either the right way or the wrong way.
If you are the one who leads your people into one…
at least you won’t meet the same end as me.
However, Yunaxus did not regret his actions.
Even when death is near.
Eyes that shine without flicker.
Those eyes were the proof.
Yunaxus’ voice was watery.
“Claudie…”
Please look out for my foolish people.
I won’t ask for forgiveness
All I want is a little mercy.
But even if you don’t give, I will understand.
“…I have no right to dare go against your wishes.”
This is really over.
The dragon heart, said to be more immutable than all things in the world, was gradually slowing down.
I started to feel the pain in my body, which had lived an eternal life.
Yunaxus captured the landscape of the continent for the last time.
‘You must have groaned in this kind of pain.’
However, it was not only the Arcana continent that came into view.
‘And did you guys bring this kind of pain to others?’
I saw the demons that made the Arcana continent look like this.
The guys were licking their lips.
was whispering
“Dragon Heart is mine.”
“Kikki! I have to make equipment out of leather.”
“A weapon made from dragon fangs…!!”
Even for my mother’s plan.
I wanted to burn all the demons that bothered me.
Even that wasn’t enough.
I think this will happen, so please spread your wings to your own people.
I asked you to leave at least one whole.
“Is it that even I can’t follow my mother’s will?”
I am Yunaxus.
like this.
Do I have to close my eyes so I can’t face anyone?
You are truly cylindrical.
“Keu…”
Squeeze out all your strength.
It was the last dragon breath he spat out.
It’s like you can’t even cast out the demons around you.
‘…I was infinitely weak.’
Slowly—
in the end, without being able to overcome the eyelids that were closing like a thousand pounds.
It was the moment when Yunaxus closed his eyes.
For some reason, I felt an unfamiliar tactile sensation.
It’s just—
nothing else.
from the nose.
A voice was heard in my ears.
“I have heard your cries, Yunaxus.”
Only then did Yunaxus notice.
A feeling of motherly energy.
It is the spirit of dawn.
But I’m sorry, poor spirit.
As a brother who knows his mother’s will.
Even if I want to help you in any way.
You’re not feeling well.
However, the answer that came back was surprising.
“Nothing to worry about.”
…nothing to worry about?
“I did not come to you alone.”
At those words, Yunaxus opened his eyes with all his might.
then it appeared
Get down on your knees.
bite the bubble.
The appearance of desperate demons.
and heard
Again—
the sound of someone’s footsteps.
Where the sound came from, a light flickered.
in that halo.
An upright posture gradually revealed.
“!”
Yunaxus was immediately aware.
That man is Dawn.
That you are the one chosen by your mother.
however.
“…?”
Yunaxus’ pupils widened like never before.
why…?
why…!
‘Your hair…’
The symbol of the Cloudy family.
Brilliantly brilliant.
Are you saying it’s shining silver…?
