Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 519
◈ 519. [STAGE 25] Dancing With The Devil (3)
《I'm not sure what you really mean by asking to be an ally..》
Byakuya answered calmly..
《I came myself to form an alliance with you. Are you doubting your true intentions now??》
“I know it's a lie. Me and the devil are just a means of passage for you..”
As Ash shouted without hesitation, Byakuya's eyes narrowed..
“I guess you're going to use it all for your true purpose and then throw it away. That's right?”
《……Let's say what you say is true. Then you shouldn't tell me that?》
Byakuya snorted..
《If my true intention is to ultimately use you and throw you away, shouldn't you, who know that, quietly take action? why are you telling me that?》
“I told you. I really want to be your ally.”
The second song ends and the third song begins..
The human commander and the undead corps leader continued dancing without stopping..
“Whatever your intentions, you have helped us so far. We communicate well. Even dancing like this.”
《…….》
“I don't want to be your enemy. I want to be on the same side until the end.”
Byakuya couldn't stop laughing..
But Ash's eyes are firm and unwavering. Baekya was honestly a little embarrassed..
‘What are you doing now? This atmosphere feels like a proposal.’
Is this person really using the world of beauty??
‘but… … I don't feel bad.’
In this hellish world, how many people have been so honest with you?.
The person who came to me with such sincerity to the fake self that was copied and pasted…….
So Byakuya decided to give a little lip service..
《Okay, I promise..》
Byakuya, stepping closer to Ash, whispered secretly..
《I'll truly be on your side.》
“really?”
《Until the moment when the devil is defeated and the world is saved from the brink of destruction... … I will never betray you. Is this enough??》
There is no reason why a promise like this cannot be made. To some extent, I am sincere..
‘Until the moment when the devil is defeated and the world is saved from the brink of destruction. I'll be on his side.
Byakuya smiled with red makeup in his eyes. A look of relief appeared on Ash's face as well..
“Okay, white night.”
After the third song.
After completing three dances, the two leaders bowed to each other. Ash slowly straightened his body and gestured toward the inside of the banquet hall..
“Then follow me.”
Byakuya tilted his head..
《Where are you going??》
“To perform the blood oath ceremony.”
Ash's guards hurriedly tried to catch up, but Ash waved his hand to stop them..
“Don't follow me. Because it's a matter for me and Baekya to solve..”
《You too.》
White Night similarly gestured to the Jiangshi who were chasing after him..
《Here it is. Because it's a job for me and the commander here..》
A young female waiter who was waiting led the two inside. A red scarf hung around the female waiter's neck..
“please come this way.”
There was a small special room at the very back of the banquet hall..
On the table in the special room were two empty plates, two empty glasses, a wide-mouthed bottle of clear liquor, and two daggers..
The two sat across from each other at the table. Baekya tilted his head as he looked at the dishes set out on the table..
《The blood oath ritual is an old tradition.?》
“okay. The ritual that the princes of this world perform when they form a blood pact with each other..”
Ash lifted his left forearm and picked up the dagger lying on the table..
“They exchange each other's blood and flesh to eat and drink. This is how the clan is united.”
《Bringing out this old-fashioned ritual... … you are serious?》
“do it first.”
Ash slashed his left arm with the dagger without hesitation..
A small piece of severed flesh fell on the plate, and blood trickled down from the left forearm. Ash dropped the blood into the bottle without even frowning..
“I will stop the bleeding.”
The waiter took off his scarf and tied Ash's arm to stop the bleeding. Ash calmly gestured at Byakuya..
“It's your turn.”
《…….》
Byakuya was alert to see if this ritual contained any magical principles, but nothing was detected..
“Are you afraid of knives? I don't plan on taking it out now.?”
《……Is it possible?.》
Holding the dagger in front of him, Byakuya smiled bitterly at Ash and then swung the dagger with magical power..
A small piece of hard jiangshi flesh fell onto the plate. Byakuya let the cold black blood dripping from his arm fall into his bottle as well..
《I haven't seen it that way, but it's pretty wild.?》
“It may be a little barbaric, but it's better to keep tradition in these things..”
Byakuya stopped the bleeding on his own. After finishing preparations, the two sat across from each other at the table..
The waiter picked up the bottle, shook it, and poured it into each other's glasses..
“First, let's drink a drink mixed with each other's blood..”
Ash drank it without hesitation. Byakuya took a quick look to see if there was a special spell attached to this drink, but he couldn't detect anything..
‘It's really just pure consciousness.……?’
After gulping down my drink, the waiter brought out long tweezers and picked up a piece of flesh on the plate..
“Next, please devour each other's flesh..”
《I would gladly swallow a piece of young living flesh, but Ash, would you mind? It would taste like a corpse..》
The waiter first picked up Byakuya's flesh and brought it to Ash's mouth. Ash grinned and opened his mouth..
“It's a piece of flesh from a close friend, so I have to swallow it willingly..”
And then, really, I swallowed it without even frowning..
Next, the waiter picked up Ash's flesh with tweezers and brought it to Byakuya..
Byakuya was on guard until the end, but he could not sense anything, not the flesh, the chopsticks, or the waiter..
gulp.
Byakuya swallowed Ash's flesh..
Ash, who was watching the enemy general swallowing his own flesh, declared..
“Having shared each other's flesh and blood, we are now blood oaths..”
《…….》
“We are like one body, and we will join forces to fight for each other. Also, betraying one another is a violation of the law of heaven, so traitors will be punished by any means necessary..”
A boyish smile appeared on Ash's lips..
“That's it, so please take care of me in the future, Baekya..”
Ash put his hand forward, and Byakuya slowly reached out and held his hand..
《…….》
Is it because I went through this cumbersome and bloody process?.
I really felt like the other person was special..
“Now, put away the tasteless alcohol and snacks that taste like blood! Bring some really delicious drinks and snacks! Let’s drink with a crooked nose today!”
Ash sat down next to Byakuya and without hesitation put his arm around Byakuya's shoulder..
“Let's light up the party, man!”
《…….》
Byakuya, who was looking at Ash blankly, put his arm around Ash's shoulder..
《good! Until the end of the world, we'll hang out together!》
***
The party is over, alliances are formed.
The Midnight Sun and the Lich Army began to fight together as allies of the Crossroads..
They officially declared rebellion against the Demon King and defeated other monsters together on the monster front..
The third year of fighting on the Monster Front was terrible and harsh. However, because they gained a powerful ally called Byakuya, Crossroads was able to continue the difficult fight..
At first, everyone was wary of the monster Byakuya, but as she risked her life together, everyone soon recognized her as a comrade..
Byakuya became friendly with the people of Crossroads. They turned each other's backs, entrusted their lives to each other, and continued the fierce fight as members of the front line..
…….
The battle continued endlessly, and death piled up like a hill. Countless sadness and tears also flowed like a river..
Crossroads has survived the third year of battle..
Defeat the armies of nightmares that come endlessly like waves..
Defeat the demonic guardians and eradicate the black dragon group.…….
Finally, the final death squad faced the Demon King in the deepest part of the Lake Kingdom..
And in this death-defying group where the royalties' elite gathered, Baekya also proudly joined as a member..
Kwasik-!
A huge eye floated in the air and blinked..
The story of the instant death of the midnight sun - Direct intervention through the eyes of foreign media could have dealt a blow to the devil..
《Haha, this. I took it in thinking it was a cat..》
The Demon King, who suffered a fatal blow from the White Night's attack, vomited blood and laughed..
《I guessed that he would turn into a tiger at some point, but I never thought he would bite my neck off.…….》
Kwasik-!
one more shot.
After completely killing the Demon King, Byakuya succeeded in taking the Demon King's throne as originally planned..
To the Byakuya who usurped the godhood from the corpse of the Demon King and devoured it ravenously.-
The foreign media that lent her power so far have directly conveyed her opinion..
『Congratulations. The rebellion was successful, ant..』
《…….》
『Now you are the new devil lord.』
The darkness of another world sprouted all over Baekya’s body. As her whole body was covered in pitch-black shadow, the cries of foreign media continued to be heard in her mind..
『Well, then come on… … ! Show me the real destruction of this world.!』
《…….》
『What was the purpose of your former Demon Lord? He repeated this horrible world countless times! Do you know how boring it was to watch?!』
The foreign media was repeating what they had been saying for a long time..
『A guy who should bring joy to us, the audience! So cheeky! For my own purpose, I used destruction play as a means.!』
《…….》
『Now, destroy it at once! Pour water on it and set it on fire! Declare a permanent end to this world!』
The foreign press roared..
『Then your ascension is complete! Come up to heaven with us and watch the destruction of all worlds together.!』
Baekya's entire body was completely covered in shadow, and where his face used to be, a white blank line drew a long arc instead of a mouth..
“white night…….”
Looking up at the new Demon Lord floating in the air, Ash was shocked..
“Aren't we colleagues? Was it planned to be like this from the beginning??”
《I'm sorry, Ash..》
Byakuya smiled bitterly and looked down at his colleague with whom he had once shared his true feelings..
《The consciousness of the blood alliance I shared with you, the friendship I built up along the way... … In the end, it's all just a matter of summer.》
Even if there is a deep relationship between ants, in the end it is only between ants..
Now looking down from the sky, everything is so small and insignificant..
Byakuya waved his hand..
Quaaaaa!
From the bottom of the black lake, countless new monsters were created and rose up. And rushed towards Ash..
Inse's last desperate battle fought desperately, but in the end they lost their lives one by one in the face of the crashing waves..
Kwasik…….
Finally, the Crossroads flag was broken, and even Ash knelt down..
Sigh! Phuwak……!
Dozens of monsters rushed at him and sank their teeth into Ash's entire body. Drops of blood flew everywhere..
Byakuya did not turn a blind eye to the death of the friend he first made after being resurrected as a lich..
and.
“……Too bad. white night.”
Ash muttered slowly, in a voice that seemed as if it would go off at any moment..
“I can't believe I didn't pass the last test..”
《……what?》
“I really thought I might be able to be friends with you.…….”
Ash slowly raised his head..
There was an unprecedented coldness on that blood-covered face..
“This is what happens in the end.”
Stand tall.
Suddenly the world stopped.
Not only the monsters newly summoned by the white night, but also the whole body of the white night, and even the eyes of the foreign god floating in the sky.…….
The entire world was motionless. As if someone ordered 'stop'.
《what……?》
“Okay then.”
Ash, who had been torn apart and eaten by monsters, easily shook himself off. Then the surrounding monsters scattered like dust..
My entire body, covered in blood, was already clean..
Byakuya did not understand this situation and looked at Ash blankly..
“It's time to wake up from this dream, traitor..”
In front of the midnight sun, Ash snapped his fingers..
Taaak!
***
《……Heo Eok?!》
Byakuya was startled and came to his senses..
Just to clear my blurry vision, this place is... … It was the special room of the banquet hall where the blood oath ceremony was held..
Byakuya realized that his entire body was motionless..
And right in front of him, Ash with cold eyes was sitting with one leg crossed..
“You said you would become a blood pact with me..”
Ash poured the whiskey in his hand into a glass. The glass filled with ice filled up with a sound..
“But you betrayed me without hesitation. I'm so disappointed, Baekya.”
《This is... … What I just saw…….》
“It's a fantasy.”
《fantasy……?》
Byakuya stammered with a trembling voice..
《What I saw, that one year... … It was all an illusion?》
“okay. To confirm your true feelings, the illusion I showed you.”
Ash shrugged..
“Well, I only indicated the ‘direction’ of the fantasy, and you drew the detailed situation and results. Did you plan hard? Thanks to you, I was able to get to know you well. A lot of information that I didn't know until now.”
Baekya, who was dazed and dumbfounded, shouted as if struggling..
《Nonsense! I am the Great Emperor of Magic! There is no way I could be so completely deceived by a mortal's illusion.……!》
“So it wasn't easy to prepare.”
Ash looked back at the five heroes standing behind him..
Orange, Lime, Cobalt, Violet, Scarlet.
These were the five key agents who carried out this operation. Ash grinned as he looked at their faces..
“But coming up with such a difficult design and taking off the cover is what a fraudster does..”
