◈ 517. [STAGE 25] Dancing With The Devil
Just now.
In front of Hotel Crossroad.
《This is crazy, Byakuya..》
Lieutenant Rich, who was walking behind Byakuya, said.
《This is the first time we've heard of an alliance between undead and humans, so you're attending a party celebrating that alliance.?》
There are a total of 10 lichs following Byakya..
Those who covered their faces with long amulets attached to their foreheads were all using strong bodies of Jiangshi..
When he was resurrected in the Lake Kingdom, he was a weak body with only bones left, like other undead lichs, but after Byakuya became the leader of the lich army, his body was moved..
The Jiangshi created with Eastern magic is the strongest body that an undead entity can use..
In other words, these ten people could be said to be the bodyguard that Byakuya most trusted and favored within the Lich Corps..
In reality, the 10 were selected from only the highest-ranking mages within the Lich Legion..
《Isn't it too likely that it's a trap? You better die now…….》
Baekya looked back at the adjutant who continued to object and smiled..
《I also thought about the possibility that it was a trap. But then you just sweep it away and come out.?》
《There are more than one legion of monsters that have been annihilated by them so far. You never know what crazy methods they might use..》
《…….》
《What kind of alliance is this with humans in the first place? Now that the magic tower has been taken down, humans are no longer needed.!》
The adjutant insisted. Byakuya was quietly listening..
《Instead of doing this, go back now, mobilize the other monster legions you have recruited, and destroy Inse! And again be loyal to the King of kings-》
Annoyance appeared in the corner of Byakuya's eyes, and he nervously stretched out his arm and touched Lieutenant Rich's amulet with his finger..
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Immediately, the pattern drawn on the amulet began to change. The adjutant shut his mouth, his whole body trembled, and he appeared rigid and at attention..
《It's a little quiet now.》
Byakuya smiled with satisfaction as he looked at his subordinate who had become calm..
By transferring their minds into the Jiangshi's body, the Liches thought they had gained a stronger body, but.
In reality, it was no different from completely handing over control of the body to Baekya, the magician who transferred the spirit..
This talisman was a kind of programming command written in Eastern magic grammar. And the Jiangshi Liches had to faithfully follow the orders given to the amulet..
This was also the reason why the midnight sun was able to easily control the lich army..
《When will the world perish? Before that, enjoy what you can.》
Byakuya looked up at the sky for a moment..
Yes - destruction is near anyway..
And when that time comes, he will abandon this underworld and ascend to heaven..
Then, before that, wouldn’t it be okay to enjoy this brief pleasure?.
《let's go. I will write this because the main character is late to the party.?》
Byakuya took the lead, followed by the 10 Liches..
So, when we entered the party,-
“Baekya is entering!”
As the servant called his name, the atmosphere at the party froze coldly..
Covering the laughter coming from the expected reaction with a fan, Byakuya glanced around at the living people filling the party hall..
Really living humans with hot blood flowing beneath warm skin..
‘Real’ people living their own lives…….
‘iced coffee.’
Byakuya thought as he faced these ordinary people who were looking at him with fearful eyes..
‘I envy you, you have a decent life..’
How envious……
……I want to trample everything.
I barely suppressed that urge, but someone approached me in the middle of the night..
The host of this party wore a neat black and white tailcoat without any special decorations, embroidery, or jewelry. It was Ash.
“white night.”
《ash.》
The two chiefs politely politely greeted each other..
Immediately afterwards, Ash frowned and smiled..
“You're dressed nicely?”
《You're so cool, aren't you? I plan on using the beauty world on myself.?》
“haha. It's strange that these monster women almost die when they see me. My charm is a bit fatal.”
Ash picked up two glasses of alcohol carried by the waiter next to him and handed one of them to Byakuya..
“I'm sorry, but I'll decline in advance. Because my tastes are a bit picky.”
《You're good at hitting iron walls. Is it because he is a commander who blocks monsters??》
Ash and Byakuya lightly clinked their glasses together and drank from them..
It was an orange-flavored drink. Byakuya, spinning the empty glass in his hand, shrugged his shoulders..
《This is what royal liquor tastes like..》
“It’s different from the old-fashioned alcohol you get in that dungeon.?”
《I know. It's normally delicious. I thought it might be poisonous, but there wasn't any poison.…….》
Byakuya smiled meaningfully..
《Is this really a celebration of alliance??》
“It's such a fun place. if you want to.”
Ash smiled meaningfully..
Immediately afterwards, Ash snapped his fingers toward the band. The band, who had been tense and frozen, slowly began to play the song..
Ash smiled brightly as he led Byakuya and his subordinates into the party hall..
“Well, it's a good day! Let's all have fun!”
***
Regardless of how nervous everyone was, the party went on peacefully except for the beginning..
Walking inside the party, Byakuya drank with Ash and burst out laughing with each paragraph of the story about what kind of joke Ash was making..
Upbeat music played, and guests drank and laughed. Little by little, the party atmosphere relaxed..
In the first place, the heroes waiting for Ash's operation were Plan B..
If Ash's Plan A goes well, he may end up just waiting, and even if Plan B is activated, he will have to wait for several more hours..
Therefore, the heroes stationed here and there also let go of their tension one by one, slowly loosened the ties around their necks, and began to comfortably wait for Ash's instructions..
“…….”
Kuilan was still leaning against the pillar of the party hall, with his arms crossed, glaring at the lich army with a sharp gaze..
Since I had a long body, I couldn't even find a suitable suit, so I was in a hurry and wore something suitable from the banquet hall waiter's uniform. No matter what I wore in the first place, I was so big that it was noticeable..
Anyway, I was standing behind a pillar to hide, glancing towards the Lich Legion, but there was no point in hiding like this..
“Fuck you.”
Someone holding a glass in both hands approached Kuilan's side..
Kuilan, who shrugged his shoulders, looked in that direction and saw that it was a woman wearing a trademark ivory dress - Yun, the princess of the Northern Aryan Kingdom..
“I found it, Kuilan.~”
“Hehehe.”
Kuilan had been wearing the face of a warrior, but when Yun appeared, his face immediately became frightened, like a rabbit in front of a bird of prey..
Yun drank his share of champagne and handed another glass to Kuilan..
“How long are you going to keep straining your eyes like that? A party? Just relax a little..”
“……We are not at a party now, we are in a battlefield. Princess Yun.”
“Isn’t that what it is??”
Yoon tilted his head and sipped from another glass..
“Whether it's a party or a battlefield, your body needs to be properly relaxed to be able to step out when necessary..”
“…….”
“Come on, don't do that and have a drink. And let’s have some interesting conversations with me..”
Yoon secretly clung to me. Kuilan hissed again and let out a breath of fear, then took a deep breath as if trying to gain courage! made a sound.
“I will tell you straight here, Princess Yoon..”
Kuilan said, grabbing Yun's wrist as it was about to be wrapped around his shoulder. Yoon opened his eyes wide..
“huh? What?”
“So far, he has a crush on me... … Although I am grateful that you marked ..”
Yun had been attacking Kuilan violently, but Kuilan was steadily pushing him away..
This time, Kuilan was going to honestly reveal the reason for his refusal and completely shake off Yun. So he gathered his courage and spoke out in one breath..
“They approached me because they were fascinated by my amazing muscles and abundant body hair.?”
“Yes. You completely meet the standards of our northern beauty. If I go to the Mr. Ariane contest, I'm sure I'll win first place.?”
“That's the problem!”
“huh? problem?”
Yoon blinked as if he didn't understand. Kuilan shook her head resolutely..
“All the people who have approached me so far... … These were people who came because they fell in love with my body. And when they got sick of my body, they all left me.”
Kuilan raised his large hands and placed them in front of his chest with a reverential look on his face..
“So I decided. I decided to wait for someone who would love my heart and my soul, not my body..”
“…….”
Yun, who was watching this in astonishment, muttered in confusion..
“You have a somewhat pure side to you.…….”
“Anyway, so! Princess Yoon approached me only looking at my body. I feel sorry for her kindness! I can't accept their feelings..”
finally said!
Kuilan, who finally properly rejected Yun's advances, thought that Yun would back down now, but that was not the case..
“You don't know.”
“huh?”
“As you said, it's true that I only approached you based on your body, but what's wrong with that? After that, won't you just fall in love with your heart and soul??”
Yun stood close to Kuilan. Her bright yellow eyes twinkled beneath her ivory hair, like a wild beast stalking its prey..
Kuilan swallowed his dry saliva and stuttered as he spoke..
“…… That, and. A vanguard like me doesn't know when he will die. As of today, I don't know what will happen with that undead wizard.…….”
“As of today, I don't know what will happen with that undead wizard, so why am I hesitant about dating??”
“…….”
“The world is on the brink of destruction, and we are warriors on the front lines who never know when or if we will die fighting. So, shouldn't we have fun starting from this moment??”
Without giving Kuilan a chance to say anything, Yun continued firing..
“I don't know if I can love your heart or your soul. But you never know when you'll love my heart or soul. To find out, we must first collide with each other..”
Yoon took a step closer. Kuilan closed his eyes tightly and trembled..
“Why don't you give up on me like this?……?!”
“Sorry, but I'm sick of chai. Now I've decided not to let go.”
“Well, stop coming closer! I don't know when something will happen!”
“If something happens, you just have to fight like a professional with a weapon. Until then, let's take some time alone..”
“W, this is not a party hall, but a battlefield where we fight monsters and defend ourselves.…….”
“I know. I know. tell me how many times.”
Yun whispered darkly..
“Both of them are playing with fire. Right?”
***
“Oh my, oh my, oh my! Look over there.!”
Evangeline beckoned towards Kuilan and Yun, who were close together, and slapped Lucas on the shoulder..
“After nearly a year of pushing and pushing, Kuilan was finally caught! Wow, Yun is so bold! Eat it! Bite! Oh my my!”
“……Slowly, idiots are starting to forget that this is a wartime situation..”
Lucas clicked his tongue..
Of course, even if the heroes are deployed, there is still time to spare, and it may be helpful to maintain power by waiting in a moderately rested state rather than remaining tense until then..
So Lucas didn't bother to stop other heroes from relaxing..
These are colleagues who can demonstrate their strengths when needed. I believe that much..
‘……If the master's operation went well in the first place, there would be no need for us to step forward..’
Lucas glanced in the direction where Ash was..
Ash and Byakuya were talking separately. Guards such as Lucas and Evangeline, as well as the lichs under his command, were left a short distance away..
Only the gambling club party members disguised as waiters were slowly approaching and moving away under the pretense of carrying drinks and snacks..
‘So far, things are going as planned, but…….’
Still, Lucas, who had always taken on the role of pointing out the blind spots that Ash could not notice, was in a situation where he could not let go of the tension even if the other heroes took a break..
It was then.
“uh?”
The band began to play a waltz.
Then Ash held out his hand to Byakuya, and Byakuya looked a little surprised and awkwardly held Ash's hand..
The human side commander and the monster side corps leader held hands and walked to the center of the banquet hall..
The meaning of this scene was clear..
“Oh my goodness, it must be dancing.!”
“oh my god. Are you serious, my lord?…….”
Even if it is a party whose purpose is to deceive the other party. Do you really want to dance with a monster?.
Although he is his master, Ash is really… … It's a profane expression, but it wasn't normal..
Lucas gave a small exclamation(?), but Evangeline urgently grabbed his arm..
“huh?”
When I looked back curiously, Evangeline frowned as she took the lead and pulled Lucas along..
“huh? What is it? are you! Let's go quickly!”
“huh……?”
“Then, while dancing, the senior moves away! What if something happens then? We should go next to him and continue to escort him by pretending to dance along.!”
Evangeline smiled brightly at Lucas, her teeth flashing..
“Hurry up, man! Oh, I know how to dance?”
