Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 426
◈ 426. [Side Story] Fernandez (2)
The Demon King stared at Ader and opened his mouth..
《Once again, we didn't reach a satisfactory ending..》
“…….”
《Neither you nor I could save ‘that person’. When will I succeed?…….》
Ader was just silently listening to her opponent. The Demon King laughed..
《I'm really sick of doing this over and over again, but whatever. I'm naturally good at dealing with boring things..》
The Demon King stretched out a hand made of shadows and pointed at Ader..
《But how much longer can you hold on, Ader??》
“…….”
《Your soul has long since surpassed its limit, and the game can no longer proceed, so the player's place has been replaced by another… … I'm playing this game over and over again until I hand it over to a little kid named Ash..》
The Demon King looked down at Ash, who had fallen dead on the castle wall, and clicked his tongue..
《This substitute player friend is so untrustworthy..》
“Ash will do well.”
Ader spoke emphatically..
“More than me. you will do well.”
《Tsk tsk. Let's wait and see.》
Immediately after, the Demon King looked up at the sky and shouted.
《Start the next game!》
Then the air began to rumble ominously..
“…….”
Fernandez listened to the incomprehensible conversation in a daze, then suddenly noticed something strange and looked up at the sky..
“……?!”
And Fernandez discovered.
They are densely packed like stars in the night sky that has suddenly turned pitch black.-
Countless eyes.
flashing!
A ray of light flashed between those eyes, and fell from the sky and enveloped the Demon King's body..
The beam of light began to disintegrate the demon king's body into small pieces..
Even while his entire body was disintegrating into particles, the Demon King was smiling leisurely..
《Well then, see you in the next episode... … 'Warrior’.》
flashing!
Another beam of light fell on Ader's head. Ader muttered bitterly..
“……See you later. Devil.”
The Demon King disappeared first with a bizarre laugh..
Only then did Fernandez come to his senses and stumble forward..
“Seo, Prophet!”
Ader slowly turned around when she heard a voice calling her. Fernandez argued in bewilderment..
“What the hell is this… … What does it all mean? I don't understand what Ash said, and what you said, too.!”
“…….”
“The world repeats itself? Episode? game? What kind of nonsense is this?!”
“……You don't need to know, Fernandez..”
Ader sighed softly..
“To be precise, nothing will change even if you find out. This world is over, and you won't remember in the next episode..”
“what is that…….”
“Give up everything and meet a comfortable end. That's the best advice I can give you..”
Ader muttered bitterly as she turned into particles..
“……I'm sorry I failed again this time.”
“Just a moment, Prophet.!”
“Someday, definitely.”
“Prophet! line…….”
Despite Fernandez's anxious call, Ader also completely disappeared like the devil..
“…….”
Looking at the empty seats of the Demon King and Ader, with no trace left behind, Fernandez wondered if he had seen something in vain..
but it wasn't.
Because there were still countless eyes floating in the sky..
Each and every one of those eyes is a divine being with enormous power and will that Fernandez cannot even fathom..
Fernandez barely noticed..
“how… … what……?”
What on earth are the gods of this other world looking at??
Fernandez followed the end of those gazes and eventually realized what those eyes were looking at..
- Wow…….
- Ahhhhh……!
- help me…….
- I need to run away……!
The pupils were watching the destruction of this world.
Like a child looking into a flooded anthill.
I was looking down with interest at the end of this world that was heading toward death..
bang!
Quad Deuk……!
Kwasik!
The monsters that had breached the castle gate and started massacring, the screams of the people crouching and trembling inside the palace echoed..
a massacre occurred.
One person ran away with his child..
Some people took up weapons to fend off monsters..
While evacuating. Hiding. While crying. While protecting it. While soothing. While holding my breath. I fell down and prayed. While fighting-
dead.
Cut, torn, torn, pierced, broken…….
Without a single exception, everywhere in the city, people were brutally killed by monsters..
Everything Fernandez had tried to protect was collapsing like a sand castle..
- Please, save me... … please…….
Fernandez covered his ears with both hands, but the screams and screams were still hitting him directly in his mind..
There was nowhere to run.
This place was hell.
And the eyes of heaven were staring intently at this scene of hell..
“……Do not be ridiculous.”
Crackling.
Fernandez gritted his teeth..
“Repetition, rounds, games. Don't say such nonsense.”
People cry, people suffer, people die..
Like changing the chess board, placing a new piece, and starting the next game - is it possible to say it so easily?.
Fernandez looked up at the sky, shedding bloody tears. I looked directly at the eyes contemplating the destruction of this world..
and thought.
if. Just as I overheard.
If the world keeps repeating itself. then-
‘I won't let it happen with my eyes open either..’
I, too, will be able to make a final struggle..
Fernandez started creating new magic on the spot..
‘Assuming that the premise ‘the world repeats itself’ is true. The drinking style was designed accordingly..
In order to convey the truth about this world to myself in the next episode..
‘Even a very short message is okay..’
A piece of memory, or an image, or if that doesn't work, a sentence - no. Even just one word is fine.
If I could give you a hint about the truth of this world.
If you can pour everything into yourself and convey anything to yourself in the ‘next round’.
Then, one day, this moment when the world will perish, the death of everyone, and the truth of the world that repeats itself.-
If you are bright, you will be able to enlighten yourself..
From the walls of a falling world, looking down on his citizens dying, the last Guardian created a new magic..
And- I finished it..
Instead of using it at the cost of your own life, you can use magic to pass on just one letter to yourself in the next round... … made it.
Fernandez did not hesitate. He willingly sacrificed his life to activate his magic.
and-
***
today.
“…….”
Fernandez opened his eyes on the bed..
I’ve dreamed it over and over again hundreds or thousands of times… … I had a terrible nightmare about the empire falling..
Even though I've never actually seen it. It was a vivid dream that seemed to be drawn before my eyes..
“after.”
Fernandez sighed and slowly got up from the bed. Perhaps because of the nightmare, his whole body is covered in cold sweat..
He took off his clothes and went into the bathroom. He turned on the hot water and absentmindedly looked in the mirror..
there were letters there.
Fernandez's thin body reflected in the mirror was densely engraved with letters. Fernandez clicks his tongue..
“I don't have any hobbies like tattoos.…….”
This is the record I sent from a previous episode..
To be precise, it is the totality of records they sent from a very long time ago.).
The world was repeated countless times, and the words gathered in the 'final message' became sentences and stories..
The letters densely engraved on his body are the truth of this world, and at the same time, they are a record of his fight..
“…….”
Fernandez carefully looked at the records he had sent from the past..
I don't remember. however.
Records don't lie.
This world is repeating itself.
No matter what we do, the world will be destroyed by monsters coming from the south..
What methods have you used so far to prevent this destruction?.
All records remained on his body. A new sentence was engraved on his body according to the number of accumulated failures..
And, this episode.
There is no more space to engrave messages on the body, so now letters are engraved on every part of the body below the neck..
Fernandez suddenly realized.
The fact that it is impossible to fight and win against the devil.
Defeat is natural. destruction is certain.
Then it would be better-
“I have to surrender.”
accept destruction.
I decided to surrender to the devil.
he made up his mind.
And to do that - he must become emperor..
A position to decide the fate of this world and the lives of the empire's subjects..
You must ascend to the throne, the position that holds the power of life and death for all people..
“…….”
Sincerely, Fernandez loved his family.
I loved my father, my older brother, and my younger brother..
However, the cause of preserving the human species is more important than that..
so.
I was willing to sacrifice.
“Please understand, brother..”
After taking a shower and changing into new pajamas, Fernandez muttered quietly..
“Everything… … To protect this empire.”
“…….”
He wasn't speaking into empty air..
A portable prison was set up in one corner of the spacious room, where Larque was imprisoned..
Both arms cut off. All of the magic channels in his body were completely destroyed so that he could not use his magic..
Rumors were widely spread abroad that he had been executed..
He definitely survived..
“……fernandes.”
Larque looked at his younger brother with dark eyes..
His dry lips opened, and his dry voice barely came out..
“how… … What are you going to do??”
Fernandez smiled at his older brother and slowly walked out of the room..
“Break the repeating destruction, and… … I will survive with people.”
“…….”
“In some form or another.”
When Fernandez came out of the room, the corridors of the imperial palace unfolded..
The place where he rested was none other than the emperor's bedroom..
Fernández walked in his pajamas and headed to the throne room..
Standing in front of the locked door of the throne room, he opened it with the key necklace around his neck and entered..
In the spacious throne room, a frozen golden throne was placed along with frozen thorn trees - Everblack..
The original owner disappeared and the chair became empty..
Jeez. Jeopuk.
Fernandez approached and slowly sat down..
A biting cold spread from the throne. But undeterred, Fernández placed his back completely on the throne and closed his eyes tightly..
finally got here.
My father was trapped in the spirit world, and my older brother was captured. Now there is no one here in the imperial capital who can stop him from becoming emperor..
And when you become emperor.
If you become the leader of humanity.
We can evacuate humanity, empires, from inevitable destruction..
His final plan - through 'The Last Ark'.
“…….”
Fernandez suddenly swept his tired eyes with his hands..
There is a long way to go in the future. And that path was a true sura that required several times more blood than the blood shed along the way so far..
But Fernandez was willing to take that path..
In the end, it's a simple easy choice..
Will you be defeated and allow the world to be destroyed by monsters, or will you be victorious and move the world as you wish?.
Fernandez chose.
Even if I submit.
Even if it's miserable.
Even if no one in this world understands me.
He will protect his people at all costs..
“……So, Ash.”
Turning his head towards the far south, Fernandez whispered.
“It's probably the first time for you to see me move like this..”
A long smile appeared on his thin lips..
“How are you going to stop me??”
