All Power Wizard Part 2 Tower of the Demon God
Episode 017
“The plague has stopped!”
It was literally like that.
The soldiers quarantined in the west stopped bleeding, and the soldiers who had been suffering from the plague also looked relaxed.
“Let’s drive out the demons!”
Thanks to this, the soldiers began to gain momentum.
They were able to completely turn the battlefield, which was seriously tilted, over.
The terrible plague had stopped, so there was nothing to worry about.
“Send out all the Knights Templar.”
“Jonmyeong!”
The Emperor pushed the 12th Legion to the brink by enforcing the support of the Allied Forces’ elite, the Temple Knights.
Although the battle was close to victory, the emperor did not smile until the end.
“Is there anything that bothers you?”
In response to the adjutant’s question, the emperor spoke in a calm voice.
“The fact that the plague has stopped means that the tower owner has subdued the commander of the 12th Corps… … . If so, the next legion invasion may begin immediately.”
“Ah, so you left the main force behind and only sent the knights to the temple?”
“Yes.”
To be relieved of victory like this,
The full-scale war hasn’t even started yet.
Now that you have some time to catch your breath, you should immediately prepare for the next move.
The basis for this was the demonic energy that was slowly starting to disappear.
The musty demon energy surrounding the Demon God’s Tower was gradually decreasing, which was the same situation as when the 12th Army attacked.
“Soon, a wind of blood will blow. “Tell the commanders to prepare for battle.”
“Jonmyeong!”
The war progressed as the emperor expected.
it started.
Before we had to wait long, red signal magic rose up like firecrackers in the sky.
“It’s signal magic!”
“Ha, not one! 11 places! “Demons appeared from all directions!”
East, West, South, North.
Demons poured out regardless of direction.
“Your Majesty’s choice was right! “It’s a shame that the troops were arranged in a circle. If they had been lined up, the rear would have been breached!”
“It’s still too early to feel reassured.”
This was the moment when the emperor’s strategy worked, but this time the emperor also maintained his composure.
“There are too many of them.”
“… … Well, I see. “It almost feels like two corps combined.”
This is because the number of demons was nearly twice that of the 12th Legion.
Why are there so many?
Was the emperor’s prediction wrong?
Or, two legions at once
Was it innate?
Although I wasn’t sure of anything, I decided not to panic ahead of time.
“… … “Whether the prediction is right or wrong, the fact remains that we must fight.”
Now is not the time to use your head, it is time to draw your sword.
“130,000 troops, this is an all-out attack. “Make them run back into the tower.”
“Jonmyeong!”
In response to the all-out attack order issued by the imperial army, 130,000 allied forces rushed towards the Demon God’s Tower at once.

“What is that leisurely smile?”
When I showed a relaxed attitude, the demons snorted and said,
“Are you not afraid of us?”
“We are not one, but two.”
“There are twice as many subordinates.”
rOf course, it is twice as strong as the plague demon.」
“Well, not really.”
rYou don’t like it
“What kind of guts do you have?”
rIs there even a corner of you that believes in it?”
「Oh, I understand.j
At that time, Devil 1 pointed to the string on my shoulder and said,
“Is it because there are two of you too?”
“No. “Two, to be exact?”
“God of revenge and destruction.”
‘■And, you are the incarnation of power.
“It’s hideous.”
rIt’s like a god followed by barbaric and uncivilized ogres.”
“… … “I got caught.”
Would something be different if you were the commander of a demon corps?
I wanted to hide Strang until the end if possible, but it looks like they can see him.
Well, since they are former gods, it might be natural for them to know.
“I can’t do it. Come out, Strang.”
When I nodded, Strang in
It changed into a liver shape and suddenly popped out.
“Wow, it was hard to keep your mouth shut.”
Then, the demons clapped their hands as if they were excited.
“It’s 2 to 2.”
“Finally, I can play that game.”
“Tsk tsk, I’m looking forward to it!”
「It’s fantastic!j
Wait a minute, it’s a game?
He acted like he was going to fight right away, and then he said, “A game?”
The unpleasantness that the plague demon had given me a moment ago came to mind and I frowned.
“Let’s put aside trivial things like games and fight. “Because I don’t have time.”
I have to get to the next floor quickly.
We have to quickly climb this damn tower, grab the devil by the collar, and drag him down.
However, they seemed to have no intention of fighting me.
Are you fighting? Why? J
“We are cute gentlemen.”
“Conversation is better than fighting.”
“Are you as uncivilized as expected?”
‘■Is it like an ogre’s god? J
“All we know is breaking and destroying, right?”
“You’re laughing. “You just said you were going to tear me to death?”
“Yes, I will tear it to death.”
“With this dagger of truth.”
rKuuuu, I will tear you to death.”
Devil 1 looked strange in my arms.
I took out a dagger.
“What is that again?”
When I shook my head, Devil 1 opened his mouth.
“This is the dagger of truth.”
“If you give the wrong answer, I’ll dig your head in.”
“You can never avoid it.”
‘■Even if it’s him.J
‘■It’s an oath.J
“It’ll be fun, right?”
The dagger of truth.
That was a kind of penalty given to the losing side in the game.
Of course, the penalty means death.
“Two rather than one.”
“Two rather than three.”
‘■We are two devils
“Let me introduce you to the game.”
“Have you ever heard of a doppelganger?”
* * *
Doppelganger.
It means a being that looks exactly like me, and even resembles my voice, hand gestures, and foot movements to the point where it is close to perfection.
The demons will steal my and Strang’s faces and pretend to be us.
“It’s called the Doppelganger Game!”
「It is also called the twins game.j
“What kind of game is that again?”
rI need to find it 丄
rWho is your real friend? d
‘■Where the real and the fake mix.’
rCan you really recognize each other?”
rThe opportunity only comes once
‘■If you don’t find it at once.J
“This dagger of truth will rip your head off.”
“Haha, I’m excited.”
“It’s gonna be fun. “You too, right?”
There is only one chance.
Strang must find me between me and the fake Ruin Ardels.
I, too, have to find Strang between the real Strang and the fake Strang.
If you don’t answer correctly, the dagger of truth will rip your throat off.
This condition is the same for demons.
“You guys are participating too?”
‘■Tsk tsk tsk, of course.J
‘■How could I miss something fun like this?’”
“I understood, but… … . Transforming into the same person and imitating them? It’s so bad taste. What if I don’t play this game?”
“As expected, you’re stupid.”
厂This is not a matter of choice
“It’s an oath.”
“Two rather than one.”
“Two rather than three.”
”If you don’t clear this game.J
“You can never leave here.”
Of course, that’s the case.
The Demon God’s Tower is a space made of promises.
Whatever it is, the stairs leading up to the next floor will appear only if you win the competition with the demon that controls that floor.
That means you have to participate in the game.
I glanced at Strang.
She nodded quickly as if it didn’t matter.
“Do you think I don’t recognize you? Say you do it. Let’s finish it quickly and move on.”
“••••••Hmm.”
Strang answered very easily, but it may not be an easy task.
Same thing with the plague demon.
These devils are good at deceiving their opponents.
The purpose of this game may be to make people suspicious of each other.
Maybe it’s really dangerous.
But there’s nothing you can do.
“Let’s start the game.”
“Giggle, let’s begin.”
“This feeling of having a knife on my neck.”
“I got excited just by imagining it.”
In the blink of an eye, a knife was at my throat.
Not just me, but everyone, including Strang and even the demons.
This is the dagger that is said to be the dagger of truth.
It was said to be an oath, so I briefly held the dagger, but it was not an oath that could be destroyed with spiritual power.
The same applies to the player’s eyes and the breaking of oaths.
Against God, everything is useless.
“Then, shall we decide the order?”
The way to determine order was to twirl this dagger of truth.
When the rotation is complete, whichever side the blade is facing is first.
“Of course the one who plays first will be at a disadvantage, right?”
“I might die before I even start the next game.J
‘■Sigh, I’m nervous! Who will be first in line?”
“Okay then.”
「Dougu! Dugu! Dugu! Dugu! “Dougu!”
「Let’s begin!j
Demon 1 turned the dagger of truth.
Swish—swish—swish—whisk—!
As I was looking at the spinning dagger, I felt a little nervous.
What makes me so nervous about games like this?
That’s probably because the order was already decided even before the dagger was turned.
The dagger’s blade stopped, glaring directly at me.
“Ugh, Ruin Ardel.”
‘■You are the first.J
Kids, it was going to be like this from the beginning.
* * *
As soon as the first game started, I couldn’t help but be confused.
“Ruin. “Look at me.”
“Surely, you can’t tell the difference between fakes like this?”
Strang, there are two.
There is no way to tell who is real just by looking at the outside.
The game rules are simple.
You can’t touch it, you can’t attack it.
The questions that can be asked are 4 individual questions and 1 common question.
Since you are limited to 5 questions in total, you cannot just ask any questions.
Ask questions carefully.
The answer is even more important.
First, I asked Strang 1.
“What is the specific place where we first met?”
“King Gram in the Artifact Room, in the basement of the Academy.”
answer.
This time, I asked Strang 2.
“What is my favorite drink?”
“The Coco Vanilla I drank at Altain.”
Correct answer this time too.
With this, one thing becomes clear.
The two can never be distinguished through simple ‘memory’ or ‘information’.
Then what should we distinguish?
The tone, tone, and strang are usually
They even have a similar habit of scratching their cheeks.
It is also impossible to match it based on appearance alone.
As he hesitated to ask the next question, one of the remaining demons began to giggle.
rWhat, is it already blocked?丄
“shut up.”
“Giggles, now there are three questions left. You’d better be careful.j
asked Strang 1.
“Strang, I mistook you for ‘this’ at first. What is this?”
“Um, man? cock?”
answer.
This time I asked Strang 2.
“When we first met. You always made fun of me about it. “There is a point.”
This time it was a bit of an explicit question.
This was intentional.
Because I wanted to see how Strang would react.
Then Strang 2 snorted and answered as if it was absurd.
“No way, I want to hear the answer, butt.”
“It’s not true, is it?”
“You’re talking about a ‘spot’ on your left buttock. no?”
Yes, I wanted to hear that answer.
That shameless tone of voice and perverted eyes.
I gave weight to the assumption that Strang 2 was the real Strang… .
This is also a questioning method that relies on ‘memory’.
These kids, how do they even know this?
Therefore, you cannot jump to conclusions about anything.
“Giggles, there’s one last common question left.”
In the end, I decided to change the way I asked questions.
“This time, the question is for both of you.”
It is not just about hearing the ‘right answer’ that relies on memory and information.
Can these guys even imitate Strang’s ‘thoughts’?
I asked with a confident voice.
“What do you think about Jason?”
