Chapter 671
-Kurrurrureung
Countless things were happening on the battlefield, and in Diane’s deep area, where the dragon of the other world appeared, abnormalities continued to occur.
However, only a few people were able to see the incident directly.
-Shoot aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
A torrential downpour obscured the scene, and a huge cloud of steam created by the explosion obscured the scene from public view.
Even if it wasn’t for that reason, it was impossible for the Allies to focus there.
A desperate fight was taking place with the remaining monsters, and the immortals in a frenzy were slaughtering allies and monsters indiscriminately, causing great chaos.
That’s why no one was watching what the hell was going on deep inside Diane.
However, a sudden gray-white torrent surged as if it would pierce the sky, and then died down.
But the odds happened again.
A huge cloud appeared.
It was a dark cloud with a color similar to that of a dark cloud that scattered heavy rain.
But it was too close to the ground to be considered a cloud.
And, in that cloud, desperate human faces constantly appearing and disappearing, wriggling as if they were alive.
Only a few know that its identity is the collection of all the souls of those who have died.
but.
-That’s it
However, the ominous, bizarre, and sad screams that the huge cloud spewed out were whispered in the ears of everyone on the battlefield.
There were people who shed tears without even realizing it because of the despair in the sound.
right under that huge cloud.
-Shoot aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
There, in the pouring rain, there was a man hugging a woman who had lost her mind.
“ah… … .”
The man was staring up at the sky with a hopeless expression on his face in a daze.
I did everything I could.
was finally able to get it back.
But it wasn’t a complete success.
The commandments he shouted in the hope that the ghosts would disappear only brought about half the success.
It disappeared from the body of Ellen Artorius.
But it didn’t disappear from the world.
It was crying strangely, still possessing substance.
You can find the next body to stay in, or you can spread a curse on the world and bring about the ruin of everything.
The demon king looks up at the sky with a firm expression while holding the girl he has finally recovered.
If you can’t make it disappear in the end, the disaster it causes will continue.
may nest in others.
Or again, it could dwell in the body of Ellen Artorius.
Or it could be nested in the demon king’s body.
– Phat!
But suddenly, someone appeared by the devil’s side.
“Something outrageous has happened.”
that’s an old wizard.
It was a vampire named Antirianus.
As always, with an expression as if he was plotting some nefarious plan.
I got the first victory I wanted, but the girl fainted and the demon king has no energy anymore.
The demon king sits down and holds the precious girl in his arms while pointing to the sky with his fingers trembling.
Even that finger point was powerless.
“Are you all right?”
“… … .”
“What will happen next, I don’t know.”
“… … .”
The demon king raised his head with difficulty and looked at the old vampire with an expression of joy.
The demon lord, who had no energy to speak, was gradually losing focus.
“Now that you have finally succeeded in getting everything back. I want to enjoy the joy of twisting my neck at this moment when I have everything, even if I don’t have to swallow that.”
“… … .”
intense despair.
The old vampire likes that.
“If I swallow that now, wouldn’t it, of course, try to kill you now?”
The demon king proposed to the old vampire.
When he found out that he had transferred the vengeful spirit to Ellen Artorius, and that Antirianus had suggested it.
And, when he sees the future in which he dies.
The demon king did not kill the old vampire, but made a suggestion.
‘I’m about to make you an offer that’s hard to refuse.’
‘haha… … . That’s interesting.’
That it was an offer he couldn’t refuse was something that even the old vampire couldn’t help but be surprised at.
‘What is that?’
at the end of the last.
Do you have any intention of becoming the last adversary and taking the opportunity to destroy everything for me?
If that thing somehow got out of Ellen’s body and couldn’t be extinguished in the end.
How about you try it before it causes other harm to the world?
That’s how you become my last enemy.
Rather than hovering around the edge of the story, what do you think of being the last harm of the story?
If it wanders without finding a host, that’s a bigger problem.
If it can’t be extinguished, someone has to shoulder it.
So the moment you kick that thing out of Ellen’s body.
Next time someone has to shoulder that.
‘If I swallowed that thing, what would you do?’
‘I’m going to subdue you and make you disappear somehow, and if I can’t, I’ll have to lock you up.’
‘You can’t do that to Ellen Artorius, so you’re saying you’re going to make me that way?’
‘Right.’
‘Heh heh heh. You’re honest.’
‘If you don’t want to do it, say no.’
To see the final despair.
Or, to create the final despair with my own hands.
which of the two do you want?
The demon king made such a suggestion to the vampire who enjoyed despair.
‘Naturally, this old man likes to watch everything from behind, not to do anything in front.’
Old vampires don’t enjoy overly decisive backstabbing.
I like twisting the story, but I don’t like taking the breath away from the story.
It is not my hobby to decide the end of the story by myself, even if I interfere a little and make suggestions.
If there is a happy ending, enjoy it.
If there is a story that ends in despair, I enjoy it too.
I like a story that flows on its own and has its own ending.
Although I may add a few comments there, I’m not the type to go to the fore and insist that it should end in despair or that it should end happily.
To end this story with despair, the proof is that the old vampire always had a chance, but he didn’t.
But this time the case is different.
‘However, this loyalist Antirianus, how could you refuse your lord’s command?’
There was a request not to sit still, but to be the last despair.
If he loses in the final fight, that would be a great story too.
If you win, that too will be overwhelming despair.
An old vampire is not a being that refuses such an opportunity.
So in the end.
After an impossible fight, the demon king recovered the hero.
And, my thoughts haven’t changed.
As if telling them to do what they were supposed to do, they are pointing at the huge cloud of ghosts with weak gestures.
The person who swallowed it would no longer be able to be herself.
Antirianus doesn’t know what’s next.
I don’t know what will happen.
-That’s it
Antirianus looks up at the huge cloud of ghosts that let out a grotesque howl.
In fact, the old vampire might have come to this place without the request of the demon lord.
A being who enjoys despair.
How enormous will the despair that implied be?
You can accept it into this body and savor it to the limit.
You can feel the immeasurable tears of countless people as truly your own.
“How… … .”
“Even here… … .”
“Is it likable… … .”
So, it seemed that Antirianus would go mad with ecstasy.
You will die eating it.
Even knowing that he would die from eating it, the mad vampire decided to eat it.
There is no reason not to eat.
Living too long to live because I want to live, indulging in perverted pleasure has become the purpose of life.
Losing one’s life as the price of tasting that is rather too cheap a price.
I might pay a little more.
The old vampire puts his hand in his bosom.
And, from there, a crimson red jewel appears.
It would be nice if I could die eating that.
I want to savor it a little longer.
That’s why, since I received the offer, I’ve been secretly preparing.
Get ready to swallow it properly.
The red jewel did not originally belong to Antirianus.
A vampire who is older than Antirianus and no longer exists.
Others knew he was after the Philosopher’s Stone, but the reality is different.
It is a jewel that he made to give a certain girl his soul.
This is the vessel that holds the soul.
The wish failed.
It’s the simple truth.
You cannot generate a soul.
What is not there is nothing.
So he completed his long-cherished wish after long research, but in the end, after reflecting on the truth he knew, he returned to nothingness, leaving only this jewel.
vessel for the soul.
A great thing, but at the same time useless.
A miracle stone that could not be of any help to those who really needed it.
It was also despair.
The old vampire never told the demon king about the existence of this stone.
Because I couldn’t give you a simple ending that would completely seal it up with this or make it disappear from the world.
Like not actively interfering.
I don’t like old vampires even giving decisive help.
But now it is necessary.
to get it right.
To be the last absolute despair.
Since the Demon King asked for it, I intend to do my best to become the greatest despair.
“Come… … . You lost ones… … .”
On the old vampire’s right hand, the crimson jewel floated into the air.
“I want to eat your despair.”
– Woo-woo-woo!
A crimson jewel emits light, and dozens of circles begin to appear overlapping around it.
A marriage on a grand scale takes place.
It was something that even the old vampire had never done before.
It doesn’t matter if it can’t stand it and breaks.
If that’s the case, it’s just a matter of accepting it with your bare body.
-That’s it!
The huge cloud of ghosts begins to move slowly as if reacting.
no.
Rather than being led by it.
-Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
It would be the right expression to express that I was attracted.
As if being forcibly dragged by something, the cloud of ghosts is captured by the crimson jewel.
-Kiaaaaaaaaaaa!
Crying like a scream clearly showed that the ghostly cloud was resisting its pull.
However, the jewel that holds the soul begins to swallow the cloud of ghosts as if it were being eaten away.
-Kurrureurreung!
The torrent of ghosts resists, but the bowl of souls sucks in the ghosts like the core of a storm.
As it was sucked in, the crimson jewel gradually began to grow dirty, but it sucked up the clouds that covered the area as if there was no limit.
“Oh oh… … . Maximilia… … . How did you make something so great!”
To the extent that the old vampire involuntarily calls out the name of the vampire who created it, the soul stone begins to swallow all the ghosts as if it knows no end.
how long has it been
The place where the blizzard that broke the earth and tore the air died down.
In the middle, only an old man holding a red jewel stood quietly.
– Woo-woo-woo!
However, the jewel was turbulent.
Because it contained too many souls, it seemed like it would break at any moment.
It’s a great thing, but it’s understandable that it can’t stand it.
The old vampire stays the same.
-gulp!
swallowed the stone
“flaw.”
“Hehe.”
“he… … . hee hee Hick… … .”
“Uhhhhhhhh! Uhhhhh!”
The vampire, who was already half mad, bursts into madness.
Tears filled with sadness in Antirianus’ eyes.
With an eerie smile on his lips.
“perhaps… … . Maybe even sad things… … .”
“I wonder if there were so many in the world… … .”
The old vampire laughed for a long time.
The expression of the vampire who laughed for a long time, as if he had been lost in so sweet despair, soon cooled down.
“ah.”
“To eat.”
“There was something I had to do first… … .”
Even with the grotesque voices ringing over and over, the existence of Antirianus gradually disappears at the price of already swallowing the soul stone.
But this time the case is different.
Until now, if it had taken the place of the physical owner.
In this case, they become one.
The will of Antirianus and the will of the ghosts are harmonized.
The old vampire will be assimilated with Yuyeol.
It is Antirianus, and also the totality of the despairing ghosts.
Antirianus looks at the still-sitting Demon King and the girl in his arms.
There is no such thing as a final fight.
The Demon King had fainted.
I had already achieved an impossible victory, and exhausted all my strength.
So, in fact, it is natural.
The monster, who has already become something other than a vampire or a ghost, gazes at the demon lord desperately embracing the girl he saved even after passing out.
-Shoot aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The monster speaks silently to the demon king who has fainted in the rain falling like despair.
“Perhaps you didn’t want that.”
“It’s no fun killing you when you can’t resist. I will come back later.”
“I wonder if I drew a picture of myself appearing to kill you, who was fully prepared.”
“but… … . It’s not like that.”
“I like stories of great hopelessness as well as stories of divine hope.”
“I also like terribly absurd stories, of course.”
The monster slowly approaches the fallen Demon King.
There is only one worry.
Should I kill the demon king first?
Should the demon king kill the warrior he loved first?
Anyway, both of them die in vain at the hands of the monster, having reached the end of everything.
that.
It will give you a miserable and pitiful ending.
Beyond the great despair, beyond the great hope.
To put an end to a story that ended in vain.
This was also the devil’s choice, so you will have to endure it.
Thinking so, the moment when the gray-white resentment in the monster’s hand is young.
“… … Hmm.”
The monster that was about to approach sensed something and backed away.
-bang!
And something blocked the gap between the demon king, the hero, and the monster.
The greatsword of darkness plunged between them and disappeared like a mirage.
The monster turned its gaze to the direction the greatsword flew.
There, there was a ghost covered in the blood of an unknown monster.
Because of how much blood they were covered with, they were stained with blood that could not be washed away even by heavy rain.
The ghost’s right arm was burning with a strange darkness.
In the ghost’s right hand, he held the greatsword of darkness made of darkness, which had just blocked the gap between the monster and the demon king.
The ghost standing in front of the monster muttered in a trembling voice.
“What is the answer… … . I still don’t know.”
“but… … .”
“I think I know the most obvious wrong answer… … .”
“here… … .”
“Here, these two die… … .”
“That seems to be the most obvious wrong answer… … .”
“Because I don’t know the answer.”
“As far as the obvious wrong answer.”
“As far as the worst ending.”
“I have to stop it.”
“Who are you?”
“What are you?”
“I don’t know what you want.”
“Back off.”
-Kurrureung!
The great sword on the right arm of the suddenly appearing ghost aims at the monster.
A human who became a ghost says
“These two should not die here.”
Seeing this, the vampire who became a monster tilted his head.
“You who suddenly appeared, who are you?”
Unfortunately, the monster doesn’t know who the ghost is.
He was still too small for anyone to remember.
However, no explanation is necessary.
Knowing that history has a name too small to remember.
That’s why I didn’t give my name anymore.
“You don’t have to know about that.”
I wasn’t even embarrassed about it.
