41. Meet Signy (4)
“Calculator? “You mean the abacus?”
“huh. A highly developed abacus. It was called a computer. “It’s like a collection of tiny calculators that are incredibly integrated.”
“Then I won’t be able to make it again. “Because I don’t have the skills to do that.”
“Hmm… I wonder what it will be like. There is magic in this world. “If Nezar learned magic in the meantime, he might be able to use that power to create it again.”
Deus had taught Nezar a magic that could shrink his body. When I think about it, I learned magic very easily back then.
“If it doesn’t work out, you can kill me.”
“Well, after gaining the power of Karma Vortex, you have become several times stronger than before.”
“If you gain the power of a white tiger, you will become stronger. “No human hero can even give me a business card anymore.”
“Have you forgotten about Zeke?”
“Well, that guy gained the power of Suzaku
.”
Deus smiles brightly.
“I really want to get together for once.”
“surface?”
“I have to surrender. The demon world will not covet human land for another thousand years! “Smack the stamp.”
“Zouguuun! No, it works! “Such a thing can never happen.”
“It’s the king’s heart. “If you interrupt an adult conversation one more time, you’ll go back to being a six-year-old, right?”
Alex was muttering in the coach seat.
Deus ignored him and turned his eyes to the scenery outside that Yulgeum was looking at.
Why has humanity, which had tens of thousands of weapons capable of destroying a castle, now in decline?
I crossed the mugwort swamp.
With the power of Deus, the carriage was launched and crossed the rough terrain with relative ease.
As soon as they arrived, the land of mugwort welcomed the group with grandeur.
“and! “What the hell is this!”
Thousands of rats
surrounded Deus and his party.
It wasn’t clear whether it was right to call it a rat. They were about the height of a human being, standing on two feet and looking straight in this direction.
“Is this the land of rats?” Yulgeum responded to Deus’ words.
“meerkat. Should we call them giant meerkats? “It’s a type of gopher.”
“Is he too cute to be slaughtered in droves? “It feels like a dream.”
“Why do you think of killing a new creature when you encounter it?”
“huh? then?”
“There is no way of thinking about dialogue or coexistence?”
“With a rat?”
“A mouse is also life.”
“Of course, but do you talk and coexist with mice when they come into your house?”
“This is their land.”
“It looks like you don’t even know how to write land documents?”
“Anyway, it’s not extermination. Even though.”
“If you don’t attack me, I won’t kill you. But no matter how you look at it,
it looks like it’s going to attack you.”
Just then the meerkats started moving.
It rushed over and surrounded Deus and the group.
No matter how I looked at it, it wasn’t scary.
Despite its size, its appearance was very gentle.
But just because it’s cute doesn’t mean it’s safe.
Deus stretched out his hand forward.
If you radiate magical energy, you will be able to start by clearing about 1/4 of the items at once.
But…
the gathered meerkats split into left and right, creating a gap.
They begin to stand in two rows along the gap.
It was clearly a ‘way’.
Meerkats stood and blocked all directions except the road.
Yulgeum got off the carriage.
He approached the meerkats and asked in a friendly voice.
“Are you here for directions?”
But the meerkats stood there silently, as if they were statues.
Deus said to Yulgeum teasingly.
“Dialogue and coexistence failed.”
“Isn’t that what it is?”
“Try talking to me again. “You might not answer this time.”
“shut up!”
Deus walked down the path made by the meerkats first.
How far has it gone?
The meerkats in the back ran forward and made their way. The back was blocked by a wall made by meerkats.
There was no information about where they were being taken.
It seemed like a trap of some sort, so it was scary, but there was no way Deus would be scared.
I walked along Meerkat Road, which was several kilometers long.
The meerkats guided Deus to a crater-like area in the ground.
The pit had a radius of 2 kilometers.
The depth was approximately 400 meters, but the jungle was so thick that it was difficult to determine the exact terrain.
There was a vertical cave in the center of the crater.
A black shadow was cast, making it difficult to see the exact shape from above.
Deus glanced at the crater and turned his head. Meanwhile, the meerkats disappeared.
“What the hell happened? “What about the rats?” Yulgeum shrugged his shoulders at those words.
“well. “You have to think of it as a familiar of some sort, right?”
“Was there something living in the mugwort land that could control other animals? Aren’t mugwort monsters intelligent?”
“I know that too, but… it may have evolved.”
Deus turned his gaze to the hole in the center of the crater.
“You’ll find out when you go there. “Can you feel it?”
“huh. “It’s quite a powerful force.”
“You don’t know his identity?”
“Unfortunately there is too much interference. “This is the land where the flame of destruction fell.”
“ah! This is…
“Traces of an explosion.”
Deus looked around again with a surprised expression.
And then he looked down at his hand.
Even if we tried our best, we wouldn’t be able to create a pit like this.
“A human did this?”
“ O ” o’
“Humans have declined.”
“If you compare just the level of civilization, it is definitely true.”
Deus looked at the crater for a moment more and then walked towards the jungle.
I had mixed feelings.
I got angry again.
“As expected, this world is twisted.”
“What do you mean suddenly? “It looks like you were shocked by human power?”
“Well then, it was destroyed, right?”
“that’s right. It was destroyed. That’s why God banned science… that ability.”
The vertical cave in the center of the crater led underground to an unknown depth.
However, in a place where the end was unknown, Deus felt like his curiosity was being answered.
A ray of light emerged from deep within the hole.
There was a being
in the middle of the silver-white light .
“White tiger!”
Yulgeum called his name.
White Tiger, a white tiger with vivid black stripes, shouted at the group.
[A being who has protected the demon world for hundreds of centuries. I sincerely welcome your visit.]
Deus frowned.
“It seems you were the one who sent the meerkat.”
[Yes.]
“So… does that mean you already knew I was coming?”
[I felt it. A powerful being coming here.]
“Well, then, the story is simple. Come to me and serve me as your master.” Baekho bowed his head.
[We are those who serve the master. But you are not my master.]
“I have inherited the memory of Lucifer.”
[But you are not Him. King of the Demon World. I know you, but I don’t know you.]
“Shall I take it off and show you? “Even the panties are perfect.”
［That’s….］
“So what do you want me to do?”
［I’m thinking of taking a test』
“Test?”
[yes. If you pass that test… I will recognize you as my master.]
“Is that test difficult?”
[Of course…]
Deus scratched his head and looked back at Alex.
“It’s annoying. I guess I should quit.” “Have you found out the locations of Blue Dragon and Hyeonmu?”
“Those two are still there.”
“Oh, that’s annoying.”
Deus glanced at the white tiger.
“Can’t I just assume that I inherited Lucifer’s power and become his subordinate? I’ll be nice to you instead. Coincidentally, a position for the Duke of Makai became available. Alex quits. What can I say? You can just go in there instead. “How about White Tiger?”
“Jou-kun! Why do you want me again…
[…I’m not interested in worldly power.]
“Then, should I at least introduce you to my lover? I have a child named Shan Trina who is in heat 365 days a year. “You seem lonely these days.”
[…I am not even interested in the desires of the flesh.]
“Then what is good? “Tell me about anything.”
[We are serving beings. All I want is the owner.]
“So, I will take care of the owner.”
[If you don’t take the test, I won’t be able to recognize you as the owner.]
“Ha… I can’t do it. “I’ll give you that test.”
[You gained power as soon as you were born.]
“That’s because you are the Demon King.”
[Give up that power while taking the test. That is the first condition.]
“Are you asking me to solve your problem without Ma Young-gi?”
[That’s right.]
Deus looked straight into the white tiger’s eyes.
“I was a little interested. Okay, shall we take a look at what the test is?”
The moment he finished speaking, the scenery around Deus
began to spin rapidly and change rapidly.
“here is?”
“I said it was pathetic. Why on earth did you decide to take this test?”
Deus looked to the side in surprise.
It is a rule.
“Why did you follow me?”
“You didn’t come because you wanted to? Oh, I want to ask you something? “Why did you drag me in?”
“I’ve never been dragged in.”
“Then it seems Baekho decided that way. “I need it for this test”
Deus and Yulgeum.
The place where the two people were standing was the entrance to the tower.
There were letters written on it. Tower of the Chimera.
Perhaps this is the name of this tower.
“What is Chimaera? And where did the butler go?”
“I don’t know either. “You did it.”
“I don’t know either. “I just arrived here after going around in circles.”
Deus said this and walked forward.
Then,
he naturally placed his hand on the closed door of the tower.
Yulgeum held Deus’ hand.
“for a moment!”
” why?”
“You really live your life without thinking at all.”
“When this damn woman hears it, she wants to hear it, so every single phrase is like a gem.”
“What are you going to do if you open the door and a powerful enemy jumps out? I am talking about a composite number called Kimi. “There must be a magical synthetic tree living in this tower.”
“Why the monster? If it pops out, just press it down and kill it.”
“Do you have power?”
“strength?”
Deus asked this and looked at his body.
I couldn’t feel the magic spirit.
“Oh, I lost my strength.”
Yulgeum sighed and let go of Deus’ hand.
“Anyway…
I was thinking that if I had said this much, you would have understood.
But Deus just
threw the door open.
“ah!”
“What difference will it make if you worry about it? “You have to solve this test anyway, right?”
“Ha, the driving force alone is worthy of praise, really.”
“It’s okay to praise me more.”
“Did you swear?”
Yulgeum had no choice but to pass through the entrance of the tower with Deus.
After passing through a narrow hallway, I came into a wide open space.
Waiting for Deus there was a monster with a strange appearance.
One leg was that of a lion and the other leg was that of an elephant. Its tail was short like a pig’s, but its face had horns like a rhino’s.
“Chimera…
Yulgeum trailed off as he saw that.
“Are you saying that’s a composite number?” “O”
Hmm.
“What should I call you? “With the horned horns?”
“It’s just Chimera.”
The monster was chained up and was wandering around in circles as if it was anxious.
It seemed like Deus and Yulgeum had not yet noticed their presence.
Or maybe you know and are ignoring it.
“Just looking at it, you’re telling me to defeat it, right?”
