“Oh my, my waist. “If this continues, I’m going to get sick at the tower.”

Yoosung grumbled as he sat with his back against the castle walls of the Black Citadel, a fortress in the Canyon of Despair.

A jet-black castle towered over the horizon, and Saint Illisia spoke as she looked at it.

“Finally, the Demon King’s castle is right in front of us...!”

“We’re almost there. “Let’s stay here until dawn tomorrow to catch our breath and then leave.”

“I understand.”

Saint Illisia quietly nodded at Yooseong’s words. There was a brief silence, and at the end of the silence, the saint opened her mouth. “

...I was foolish.”

“What?”

“When I realized that all the warriors of this world were not as straight as you, I should not have let them into this world anymore. But I didn’t.”

The saint continued softly,

“...I thought there was no room for a decision because it was an order from His Majesty the Pope. But there was always room for a decision from the beginning. There were just cowards who did not have the courage to carry out that decision. .”

“I’m glad you understand.”

The saintess confessed her cowardice and weakness, and Yuseong answered calmly.

The next day,

“Hey, the devil, come out.” With a

bang,

the king of heroes and the hero of the other world walked through the entrance of the Demon King's Castle. With the

endless corpses of monsters and a sea of blood spreading out behind him, the

Gothic-style great hall filled with the gloom and grandeur of the Demon King's Castle unfolded. Darkness fell everywhere, and a jet-black throne stood tall at the edge of the great hall. “...Is there

still anyone left who would dare to stand against the ?Dark Hell Flame? of this body?”

And then I saw the silhouette of a man sitting on the throne with his arms crossed.

The Demon Lord Dark Hellflame Master was there.

“Ah, and saint. Welcome. I must express my special gratitude to you who gave me this world.”

“...it won’t go your way.”

At the devil king’s mockery, Saint Illisia quietly made up her mind, and Yooseong, looking at that sight, opened his mouth:

“Hey, devil king.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“How old are you?”

“...What?”

Yoosung recalled his name when he entered the tower and asked the person who claimed to be the Demon Lord.

“And how did you get rid of your role as a player and end up locked in this world?”

“Haha, you’re just a player…

“Aha. You’re a high school student and you signed a contract with the ‘Lord of Demon Lords’ and are stuck in the 9th tier tower? That’s kind of you.”

“What...!”

Before the Demon King had time to reply, Yoosung continued.

There is no way for the monarchs to tolerate a player abandoning his or her duties. In other words, that player here must also be performing some kind of duty in his own way. .

She had no intention of arguing about Saint Ilicia's cowardice or weakness, but apart from that, there was one thing she was mistaken about. This was something that was bound to happen anyway and was

not something that could be helped by her decision or will. “How could you know that… “And you’re just

a

player? Hmm, I wonder if my student will recognize your face.”

At the same time, Yoosung lifted the hood of his camouflage robe, and as soon as he saw his face, the ‘Demon King’s’ expression froze.

“Female King of Heroes…?!”

“Ah, this guy usually does well. okay. “I’m glad you noticed.”

“That can’t be possible...!”

Did you learn not to make a contract with the demon lord when you were attending school? “Didn’t you learn it?”

learned.

That's why it's impossible to not know.

What the monarch offers to the player is by no means an easy-to-understand opportunity to get rich. Moreover, among them, there were some monarchs who could be called particularly evil.

In the course of education, it was to the point where they were taught until their ears were worn out about certain monarchs with whom they should never enter into contracts.

The Demon Lord was also one of them.

Furthermore, strictly speaking, the player who makes a contract with the Demon Lord is neither a player nor an outsider.

In return for the contract, you will be reborn as the ‘Demon King', a part of the world in the tower and an enemy of the world that must be defeated.

“Didn’t you like your high school life? Did the Demon Lord tempt you to escape from that horrible, disgusting world? “Well, the outside world must be a bit crappy.”

“You know what I am and you can say whatever you want…!”

“Oh, that’s it.”

It was right then.

“Because I’m not really curious.”

Before the Demon King had time to continue speaking, Yoosung interrupted him and continued speaking as he pleased.

“Let’s be honest, what do the kids know? right? There's nothing you can't understand. Anyway, what should I do with this? “Because this world is not a place where you can pamper children, saying, ‘Because they’re children.’”

Coldly, without any emotion.

“You made a contract with the Demon Lord through your will. “No matter what the reason, you cannot change your decision and you will have to pay the price for your actions.”

“It’s a price...T

The Demon King laughed weakly.

Grumble!

After laughing, I unwrapped the bandage wrapped around my arm.

“Disappear in the flames of darkness...!”

The seven-pointed darkness swirled along the arm and exploded.

Not even a skill card or anything else. The player who makes a contract with the Lord of the Demon King immediately receives the pure power of the Demon King. Because you can get it.

As a cheat player, a common name for those who gain power by breaking the player's rules.

“How about this? This is my cheat ability...!” The Demon King was unable to suppress his power and was letting the black flames in his arms run wild. Before he knew it, the dark flames were reborn as one with the Demon King's body, covering him with armor of black flames. Even he could easily control it

. It is a flame of darkness that does not exist. There is no way that something could survive being engulfed in this ?Black Flame of Hell?. It should

have been like that.

“Morale? Good.”

However, after the pitch-black flame subsided, there was the King of Heroes, unharmed and unharmed.

“How...?”

“Except for your hands getting ripped off when you get caught.”

Before he knew it, the blades of dark frost were forged around the King of Heroes, and intangible assassins rushed to the ground. In

response, the Demon King, who was wearing black flame armor, sprayed seven flames all over the area.

The blades of dark frost all struck at once. He was swallowed up by the flames and melted.

“Hahaha, yes, I can win. I can defeat the King of Heroes...!”

The Demon King of Black Flame raised his voice like a roar. As if he was trying to console himself with positive words.

If he is killed by the ‘Demon King Player', it is literally like being killed by the tower. Likewise,

when a player kills a Demon King player , It's the same.

That's no longer an outsider to this world, but a part of this world and the axis of evil that must be defeated. There was

nowhere for both sides to retreat.

That's why, in the swirling black flames, a meteor hit the ground.

“The veil of darkness . Activate.”

At the same time, he activated the equipment skill contained in the black circle coat ‘Baptism of Darkness’ and extended his arms towards the opponent.

“Two assassination notices are designated in unison.”

Even though he has the power of the Demon King, the essence of it is that he is a student who is running away in fear of the world. He

takes advantage of the gap in his heart and provides free power so that he can escape from this world. That is what the Demon King's lord made a contract with. It was a way of making a conclusion.

It is very difficult to resist

the temptation when the hand of escape is extended to those who are pushed to the edge of a cliff .

But at the same time, I have seen how countless worlds are suffering and bleeding due to the devil player.

Therefore, even if he was just a fugitive hiding in the Demon King's shell, it made no difference.

Two assassination notices were activated. Immediately afterwards, a message as a player appeared in the Demon King's vision.

[Keyword: Marked for death! ]

‘Mark of death...?!'

That was the beginning.

The endlessly swirling Sword of the Heavenly Demon, the intangible arrows of death that could not be known from where they would fly, and even the threads of death, along with the phantom of Oculus, were wrapped and wrapped in all directions, accelerating the pressure. ”Ah

... ....

There is no need to reach a conclusion quickly. Just dry the opponent's blood and calmly wait for the right moment. As the

fight dragged on, the figure of the fugitive hiding in the Demon King's shell

began to come out.

[The Demon King] Player 1's attack power, hit correction, Dex and evasion correction are each reduced by -1000...]

You can't keep your cool after seeing the message in the fight.

[Debuff weakness exposure ‘9 stacks' are granted.]

Death's Mark stat reduction and all kinds of debuffs.

Since I don't have any experience as a player, I can't calmly understand the meaning and am just scared.

“Replace three side deck cards with curse skills.”

[Curse 《Two Graves）applies!]

[Curse...]

‘That curse?!'

The negative messages that were emerging in my field of vision served as a catalyst for the agitation.

In an unpredictable situation, my imagination bloomed at will, and the flower began to bear the fruit of fear.

My body felt heavy. All kinds of negative messages continued endlessly. It clouded coolness and rational thinking.

It was not the Heavenly Demon's sword or the blade of dark frost that pierced the black flame armor and peeled off the devil lord's skin.

“Please save me...!”

It was fear.

“I was really, really wrong! I’ll take it all back! Please forgive me! Yes? You are the king of female heroes! Please save me!”

The fear of being left alone in the dark. Intangible assassins wielding swords to hunt him. Negative messages continue endlessly. As the

experience as a player is limited, sometimes the content of the message itself becomes a weapon.

Suffocation due to a feeling of despair constricting the throat. I felt like I was going to do it.

I felt like I was going to burst out crying like a child. No, I was bursting out. Saying

that I wanted to see my mom and dad, he shed his demon lord shell and his weakness poured out endlessly.

“Please, please, save me...!”

That's why, seeing the Demon King kneeling and begging,

Yooseong did not hesitate either.

Finally, bearing in mind the Heavenly Demon's inaction, the final sword was struck. The

sword was swung at the child, who was so scared and crying, without even realizing that he was dying.

He was ruthless, without even the slightest mercy, and at the same time, he showed the greatest mercy he could give.
