Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 726
726. [Side Story] Lake Kingdom (7)
Kugugugugung Palace……!
“Big black!”
Ariel suddenly opened her eyes..
The entire Lake Kingdom, which had been floating above the lake by magic, was forced to fall to the bottom of the lake, and it seems that he lost consciousness from the impact..
Shoot aaaaa!
The entire Lake Kingdom was already flooded, and the water from the lake was pouring like a waterfall into the interior of the royal castle, which was finally protected by magic. It was like a flood threatening to end the world..
Outside the large glass window of the royal castle, the water of the lake was flowing..
The clear turquoise lake suddenly became mixed with black energy, making it a turbid color that was hard to see even in front of me..
I could see the remains of people and buildings swept away in the turbid water, all mixed together and swirling around..
Because everyone is cursed with eternal life, even when caught up in this disaster, they cannot even die..
People were frantically struggling with their limbs, constantly suffering from the pain of drowning..
《ha ha ha.》
And this scenery.
The wise men were watching calmly, as if admiring the fish tank beyond the window at an aquarium..
《This view from under the water is also quite special. Even observers will be quite satisfied with this destruction play..》
《It's a rewarding scene with three of our intermediaries stepping forward..》
The two wise men smiled one after another and said.
However, the wise man in the middle standing between the two - the one who possessed Prince Christian in the first place, the 'Devil King', was not smiling at all..
《No, the real destruction play hasn't even begun..》
Having already thrown off all disguises as a human old man, the Demon King chewed and spat out viciously in his original form, like a completely black shadow..
《I searched through all the unconsciousness and all nightmares of the people of this Lake Kingdom... … I'll have to find that person.》
《…….》
《Until then, the game of destruction must not end.》
The other two intermediaries who came to help the Demon King looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. 'Anyway, it's a different species-' while picking up the same sound..
“why…….”
At that time, Ariel, who staggered to her feet, asked those demons:.
“Why are you doing this... … I'm doing it…….”
How can you stay sober and ask questions calmly in this situation?.
The other intermediaries laughed until their white mouths split and tried to ridicule her, but unexpectedly, the Demon King answered seriously..
《Because of the original sin committed by your ancestors in the distant past..》
“what……?”
《You flourished as a magical kingdom. However, I never worried about where this magic came from or who brought this power. No, I actually turned away..》
The Demon King muttered inorganically..
《Now all you have to do is pay the price..》
“What the heck... … what…….”
Gritting her teeth, Ariel grabbed the water-soaked long sword that was rolling on the floor and pulled it out. It was an ordinary iron sword dropped by a guard lying nearby..
“Even if our predecessors committed sins, that is no reason for our future generations to suffer.!”
《okay. Maybe so. But isn't it because of the sins of your predecessors that you are now being destroyed??》
The devil coldly pointed out the truth.
《It's because of your foolish brother and father..》
“Pfft……!”
《Since you have eternal life, you must pay the appropriate price. Now you and your country forever... … At the bottom of this lake, I will rot in a nightmare.》
Cheer up! Cheonggang……!
The castle's glass windows, unable to withstand the enormous water pressure, shattered and shattered along with the protective magic, and lake water poured into the castle, creating black foam..
Ariel gritted her teeth as she was submerged in the rapidly rising water..
“will get it back.”
Hearing her voice sparkling with clear will, the Demon King finally faced Ariel properly..
“Whether it was because of the sins of my ancestors or the foolishness of Abama and Onii-san that you made this country like this... … It's all the royal family's responsibility. With my own hands, I will definitely bring back the glory of this country..”
Then, the devil finally smiled..
《So, that fake prince? Did you send it away because it was your last hope??》
Ariel realized the abnormality of the situation immediately after the Demon King issued the 'Curse of Eternal Life' and immediately ordered Ader to be 'expelled from the country'..
- You are no longer from the Lake Kingdom.……!
The princess's words were filled with power, and immediately Ader was stripped of her qualifications as a citizen of the Lake Kingdom.…….
Because of that, I was able to escape from the two curses that followed..
The people of the Lake Kingdom cannot leave the country, and the entire Lake Kingdom sinks beneath the lake..
Ader must have made it out of the lake safely..
“…….”
Ariel herself wasn't sure..
Why did I send Ader outside at that moment?.
There would have been many other options, so why choose a non-citizen who was a slave? A fake who was nothing more than a stand-in for the prince. Did they use their last chance to escape?.
What to expect from him……?
《I dare to prophesy, princess of ruin.》
In a swirling whirlpool of black sewage, the unconscious bodies of the king and prince were sucked into the hands of the devil..
The Demon King placed his hands on the King and Prince's heads and pulled out the shadows that had been planted within them..
The two people who were possessed by the shadow and destroyed the country will come to their senses the next time they wake up. And when he realizes what he has done, he will despair and go crazy..
The Demon King, who was stroking the heads of the foolish king and prince who had already surrendered to him, eventually turned to face the princess..
Even in this situation, he does not give in, but stands proudly and glares at himself with clear turquoise eyes... … That noble gaze.
《Your hope will be broken and weathered and eventually die..》
“That won't happen.”
Ariel said with confidence.
“As long as I am the master of my soul.”
《Hehe, well. Should I watch it somewhere?.》
Kwaaaa!
The black lake water that rushed in in an instant filled the interior of the castle and swept away Ariel's body..
Ariel was swept away by a huge mass of water and thrown outside the castle..
《No great human being could survive this infinite hell of destruction. Everyone surrenders, everyone corrupts.》
The Demon King calmly spoke to the princess's remnants, who were moving away as if they were being exiled..
《You too will do the same..》
***
The entire Lake Kingdom sank to the bottom of the lake..
The people of the Lake Kingdom drowned endlessly, regardless of whether they were citizens or non-citizens. Because I was unable to die, I had to constantly struggle and endure the pain of drowning..
Within a day, let alone a few days, most of the people in the Lake Kingdom went crazy and lost the will to resist..
The devil approached them one by one and proposed a contract..
Instead of the hellish reality here, I will give you a comfortable nightmare. Instead, give that dream to yourself.
The overwhelming majority surrendered. Instead of the unbearable pain of drowning, most people in the Lake Kingdom chose to become biological devices that supply nightmares to the Demon King..
So, just a few days after the Lake Kingdom sank, countless human cocoons covered in black shadows began to float throughout the Lake Kingdom..
However, even if the vast majority of people are like this.
In the end, there were some who did not accept the devil's offer and held on..
While Ariel endured the death after death with a steely will, she was rescued by her nanny and archwitch Coco..
Coco, a master of teleportation magic, had been holding out by teleporting to a space in the kingdom that had not yet been flooded..
This is what Ariel said as soon as she was rescued by Coco..
“You have to find a way to move and breathe freely in the water, Nanny.……!”
Coco couldn't even cry in front of the princess who didn't give up even after reaching this point and was trying to find the next way..
The two then rescued Diran Dahi, the head of the Magic Research Institute, who was imprisoned. After all, he was one of the best wizards in the royal family..
After repeatedly dying and coming back to life in a submerged laboratory, he developed a device that allows him to breathe underwater..
Wear this, find those who have not yet surrendered to the Demon King, and distribute equipment to them..
Traversing the interior of the Lake Kingdom, where strong torrents mixed with evil energy swirled around, the survivors desperately tried to reactivate the barrier outside the Lake Kingdom..
Powering devices, repairing broken parts, dying and dying.…….
In the end, it was 100 years later that the barrier was restarted and the cold water inside the Lake Kingdom began to drain..
***
Shoot ahhh…….
Black water poured out of the submerged lake kingdom, splashing thick droplets..
As the water receded, the Lake Kingdom was revealed to be in a miserable state, covered in sphagnum moss and rotting from being submerged in water for over a hundred years..
“…….”
On the rooftop of a building located at a high altitude.
Ariel, looking down at this scene, slowly took off the underwater breathing device she was wearing on her head..
“Phew.”
My silver hair, which had grown haphazardly because it had not been trimmed for a long time, fell down my back like a waterfall..
“Now you've taken a step forward.”
Ariel looked back..
There, survivors who had been through this grueling fight for over a hundred years were standing in a line, watching this monumental scene together with their faces filled with emotion..
Director of the Magic Research Institute, Diran Dahi.
checkpoint supervisor baltimore.
Standing Army Centurion Malone.
Royal Warehouse Cleaner Bayanbulak.
Sewer Manager Palaig…….
And in addition to the citizens with names, there are also non-citizens who fought together without giving in..
Before the destruction, regardless of their status or talent, there were people who did not bow down to the devil and stayed together until the end..
Ariel also did not give up and was able to keep fighting.
“There's still a long way to go.”
Looking back at her comrades who had not broken down during this long and arduous fight, Ariel still raised her eyes shining with determination. declared.
“Now let's find our way to the next level. It's about lifting the curse on the Lake Kingdom..”
Ariel then goes to a huge building in the center of the Lake Kingdom, immersed in darkness.…….
He gritted his teeth as he glared at Wang Sung, who had been kicked out..
“Ultimately, how to defeat the devil……!”
But Ariel, and the people who fought alongside her, didn't know.
It would have been more peaceful when the Lake Kingdom was full of water..
***
That night.
After the survivors held a small banquet, rejoicing in their first small success in 100 years,.
Time for exhausted survivors to take off their underwater breathing apparatus for the first time in a long time and lie down comfortably for a good night's sleep..
“……?!”
Ariel, who was looking down at her homeland covered in sphagnum moss alone and lost in emotion, suddenly felt something eerie and turned back..
sreung!
The rusty iron sword that I had been wearing since the day of destruction stuck out of its sheath..
“Who are you?!”
Then, a mysterious boy's voice came out from the darkness..
《Hehe, I should have just quietly drowned in the water.?》
Jeopuk, Jeopuk-
And what emerged from the darkness was… … It was a boy with dark blue hair wearing a neat suit..
《It would have been less painful that way..》
And in the boy's arms, one of the survivors.
He was held helplessly, bleeding from his neck..
Then the boy took a taste with his red lips and bit the survivor's neck mercilessly..
Kwajik! Fresh blood splattered everywhere. The boy swallowed as much blood as he could and licked his lips with his bright red tongue..
《Well, from a vampire's point of view, vividly moving prey is of course better. Moreover, you are eternal, so no matter how much blood you suck, you will not die.…….》
“what…….”
In front of this unrealistic scene, Ariel, who doubted whether the current situation was a dream, realized it too late..
Before they knew it, they realized they were surrounded..
thud! thud! thud! thud! thud……!
Evil beings fell from the sky through the darkness and surrounded the survivors..
Black dragon,
Demon Guardian Commander,
An unknown witch,
Plague stock price,
The vampire king,
The Spider Queen,
The dreamer's daughter,
Ghost Privateer,
The slayer of full moonlight,
Goblin God King-
The monsters of the past that have already been eradicated and sealed in our memories are the monsters that can destroy people even in a short period of time.…….
Everyone was resurrected under the hand of the Demon King and took the survivors by surprise..
When the water receded, land was exposed, and the lake kingdom became a space where people could breathe and walk.…….
The monsters that the Demon King had brought back from his nightmares over the past hundred years have begun to take over every corner of the city..
《Okay then. Eternal human beings who do not die even if they die.》
Vampire King Selendion grinned and raised his sharp fangs..
《It's time to be hunted by monsters.》
The real hell has begun.
