I Became a Tyrant of the Defense Game - Episode 719
719. [[Evil Side] In the name of love
The Demon King opened his eyes..
The two open eyes on his face made of shadows drew a blurry outline. The Demon King, who was lying down, trembled and raised his body made of shadows..
His body was submerged in a black, thick, tar-like liquid..
refined nightmare.
We collected the dreams of millions of citizens of the Lake Kingdom, and collected only the deepest nightmares..
In this nightmare, the ‘fear’ beneath the underlying consciousness… … The memory of ‘destruction’ imprinted in humanity’s genes was retrieved and refined..
This is the nightmare revived, the identity of the monster.
Ancient monsters that once threatened the existence of humanity. the shadow of that memory.
And the Demon King was convinced that the ‘person’ he was looking for was also in this nightmare..
That is why the world was repeated countless times and the inside of the nightmare was searched thoroughly.…….
Even though I went to the bottom of the deepest place this time,.
《Where on earth is it?…….》
still couldn't find it.
The Demon King suddenly felt tired. He had never been tired during this countless and long search, but for the first time he was aware of his fatigue..
It must have been such a long time.
Even the opposing player, who fought with that indomitable will, can no longer continue the game.…….
《…….》
The Demon King fully recovered and escaped the nightmare room..
Kugugoogung Palace…….
The wall between the nightmare room and the throne room opened to the left and right, and the Demon King walked out from behind the throne room..
‘I think I've been searching for nightmares for quite some time.…….’
Meanwhile, the Demon King was trying to find out what happened to this ‘game’. Because it would be difficult if the human world had already come to an end..
《Cromwell!》
The Demon King visited his loyal servant, the leader of the Demon Guardian Corps, whom he had entrusted as his acting authority..
《Cromwell, where are you??》
And the devil was eventually found.
Outside the royal castle. in front of the sewer.
In this filthy place filled with the residue and garbage of nightmares that have flowed and stagnated.…….
Cromwell's horribly cut body.
《…….》
Did he get chewed up by a black dragon?.
The second-highest-ranking Nightmare Corps commander had his entire body crushed and burned, with a disgruntled expression on his face... … He lay dead with his hands stretched out to the sky.
The body of the dead demon guardian commander was already rotting and rotting. With the corpses of his men piled up around him..
《this…….》
The bodies of the demons mixed together and rotting were itself a grotesque and disgusting sight, but only a trace of compassion remained on the demon king's face..
《How can they lie dead in a place like this? my servant.》
The Demon King clicked his tongue and lightly snapped his fingers..
Taaak-!
《Although I have never permitted your death.》
Then, the black darkness that covered the Lake Kingdom swirled down and poured down on the dead bodies of Cromwell and the demonic guards..
《Wake up, Cromwell. Anyway, wouldn't it be so vain if it ended like this in a place like this?.》
The corner of the Demon King's white mouth curled up as he saw this..
《At the very least, I'll have to wait until I die to see the royalties. is not it?》
OK,
wiggle!
The bodies of the demon guardian commander and his subordinates, who must have been dead, pulsated once as if they had regained their breath..
wow, wow……!
Immediately afterward, an eerie sound of joints breaking came from the corpses, and soon afterwards.
《Big, ahhh, ahhh-!》
Cromwell stood up, twisting his body grotesquely..
The whole body, rotten, crushed, and torn apart, stood on the ground in an ugly manner. The two eyes, which had already lost their light, opened eerily, revealing the whites of their eyes..
Gooooooo……!
An unsettling green magical power swirled around the giant deer antlers that towered above her head, connecting them with her subordinates..
Wow!
AA AA AA!
Then, one by one, the corpses of the demon guards also let out terrible screams and rose from their seats one by one..
Facing the moving corpses in front of him, the devil's white smile became even crueler..
***
In front of the royal castle. fountain square.
“…….”
Nameless was chained to the fountain..
My entire body is tied with black iron chains in a dried-up fountain where neither pure water nor waste water gushes out anymore. He sat down on the floor, lowered his head and did not move..
“…….”
In front of him, the crown stood.
The scene where the chains dig into my sister's body, slowly contaminating her clean skin... … I was standing still and looking down..
Jeez. Jeopuk.
It was then.
Footsteps came in. Crown looked in the direction where the footsteps were heard - towards the royal castle..
Climbing the long stairs, a figure was seen walking down from the open door of the royal castle..
Literally, it looks like a human shadow... … a shimmering being.
Crown chewed up his opponent's name and spat it out..
“……Devil…….”
The King of Monsters, who had been on the loose for a very long time, has finally returned from a nightmare..
《There was no fuss while I was away..》
The Demon King clicked his tongue and came down the stairs and looked around..
《I entrusted him with the game for me, and he cut up the chessboard. Cromwell, it's good that he's loyal, but it's always a shame that he can't get things done properly without instructions..》
“…….”
《and… … Who is this? Isn't she the dethroned princess, the eternal resistance fighter of this lake kingdom?.》
The devil walked slowly towards the bound unknown..
《What a miserable sight. He looks like he is bound by the nightmares of his people..》
“…….”
《But what can I do? The one who made them cling to you like this was none other than you. cotton.》
The Demon King picked up the chains that bound Nameless’ body. The Demon King sneered as he gently let the rattling chains slip through his fingers..
《Because you are the one who showed them ‘hope’. Because you were the one who promised them ‘salvation’.》
“…….”
《I made a vain promise and it didn't come true, so I have to pay the price..》
These chains extend from the nightmares of the people of the Lake Kingdom..
The unconsciousness of the people gathered together. Collective consciousness. Refined within... … resentment.
Resentment towards the royal family who ruined the kingdom and turned it into hell. And resentment toward failed saviors who spread false hopes..
The world was approaching its end, and the possibility of salvation became infinitely low. The people were now looking for someone to bear this long suffering..
- You dream this nightmare for us.
Nameless did not refuse. I couldn't do it.
The nightmares of the people seeped in through the chains connected to the body. The immortal nightmare of every person in this country has piled up layer by layer inside the unknown..
Nameless was swallowed up by the sum of the nightmares of millions of people. Her consciousness was slowly melting into it..
And when even the last consciousness dissolves and disappears in this nightmare, ignorance is the sum of all nightmares... … He would be transformed into the final monster..
“…….”
Crown quietly looked at his sister..
The poor princess, who listens to the devil's taunts, carries the curse of all her people, and gradually falls into darkness.…….
The Demon King turned his gaze from Nameless and saw such a crown..
《Even after getting to this point, do you still want to save your brother? crown?》
“…….”
《Is it because of the love between family members for their younger sibling??》
The devil sneered..
《What on earth are these shallow feelings between people, why does everyone in this world cling to them so much?.》
“……You.”
Crown opened his mouth quietly..
“Isn't it the same, Demon King?.”
《what?》
“You're looking for 'that woman'. In a nightmare. endlessly.”
Underneath the mask, Crown's eyes shone coldly and with mockery..
“Isn't it because of love??”
The demon lord's face was distorted..
《……You're talking carelessly about clowns..》
“Isn’t that the same too, Demon King?.”
Now Crown taunted openly..
“You too are a clown for foreign media..”
Kwasik!
When the Demon King made a gesture in the air, an intangible force grabbed Crown's head and slammed it to the floor..
Crown didn't groan once. Blood flowed from the pounded forehead and ran down the mask..
《‘My feelings for 'that woman' are not love..》
The Demon King grunted and relaxed his hands..
《It's just a feeling of guilt..》
“Didn't you say that before? Just thinking about the other person makes my heart pound, my body tremble, and tears come to my eyes... … That feeling is love.”
Crown laughed..
“‘Your obsession with saving ‘that woman’ is, from what I’ve observed, unmistakable love..”
《crown.》
The Demon King's voice became cold..
《The fact that I made even your memories participate in this infinite regression is a simple punishment. It means that you, the culprit who put your kingdom into this hell, must pay for your sins..》
“…….”
《This does not mean that you should speak presumptuously.……!》
When the Demon King lightly snapped his fingers, an intangible force strangled the Crown..
However, Crown, who had already become aloof in the face of death, continued to make fun of his mouth. Before I knew it, I had given up on honorifics..
“……Isn’t that infinite regression now over??”
《what?》
“Your player, Ader, is broken, and even his agent, Ash, has reached the final round. The game of destruction won't last any longer..”
This is the final play. end game.
That was definitely true for Ader and Ash. But the Demon King lightly denied it..
《The final episode? That would be the case for the player and his agent..》
“…….”
《My soul was not weakened one bit by this asceticism. Just find the next player, find the next agent, and start the next game again..》
In this eternal nightmare, until that woman is found. Crown shook his head in front of the devil's obsessive resolve..
“Why don't you give up at that point??”
《……what?》
“The woman you're looking for isn't in this nightmare anyway. It's time to admit it.”
Even the monsters in the deepest part of the nightmare have already been scraped off. There was no nightmare that the devil didn't look into..
‘'That woman' is not in this lake kingdom's nightmare..
The Crown thought, but the Demon King shook his head loudly..
《no. She must be in a nightmare here. It has to be that way..》
“…….”
《And I will definitely save that woman. To do so, even if your country and your world must be destroyed indefinitely in the future. I am willing to do so..》
The Demon King looked down at the crown resting on his forehead at his feet and growled evilly..
《You will continue to bow in and watch, clown. The sight of everything you love being covered in darkness and destroyed. Infinitely. forever……!》
The Demon King passed through the fountain square and walked into the darkness of the kingdom..
Crown thought as he looked at the devil's back..
‘It's over now for me too…….’
I participated in this countless number of ‘games’, even though I was a bystander..
Crown's soul was also limited. He also had a feeling that there would be no next round for him..
And, if you disappear too. And if the next game is repeated again.
This poor little brother will have to continue to suffer under this hell without even a brother to hate..
It was then.
“A, more……?”
The eyes of the unknown person who had been tied to the fountain and did not move slowly opened..
It seemed like he heard the conversation between the Demon King and the Crown a little while ago. Nameless repeated the name of a person who came up during the conversation..
“Ader, a, more… … iced coffee. why did i forget that name.”
A red ribbon that someone had tied newly at the last festival was swaying on the dethroned princess's white hair..
“It was the name I gave to that person.…….”
Anonymous finally remembered the distant past and sobbed softly..
“He was fighting, too. For over 500 years…….”
no.
500not a bitch.
This world repeats itself over and over again... … Ader, the man is against the devil..
There is only one reason.
‘to save you.’
Just for the sake of obscurity…….
Crown knew, but didn't bother to say it. He didn't want to add to his brother's suffering any further..
‘Ader, Ash, and me.’
This is the last time.
This is the last chance to face the devil, to end this cursed pastime..
‘Save my brother, Ash. keep your promise.’
Black chains continued to fly and wrap around the sobbing nameless body. Crown quietly watched his younger brother's depravity and made a wish..
‘I deserve to die. My kingdom also has to pay karma. But my younger brother. Just my younger brother.’
certainly.
need to be saved.
Crown bit his lip gently..
Although I was a bad brother all my life, if only I could save my younger brother in the end.…….
I promise that I can do anything for that..
***
To save each precious person.
Everyone was throwing themselves into their own hell..
Into an ever-repeating cycle from which no one has ever been saved..
I just hope that someone will break this bondage…….
