episode_0095

When the king’s permission was granted, the most loyal of those who had lowered their heads, the largest and strongest one in the front, raised his bowed head and opened his mouth.

“Your Majesty, please forgive my rudeness.”

Between the stuttering and interrupted pronunciations, like the black blood dripping from his body, a thick-spoken and rough-surfaced voice, like scraping a rock, echoed through the quiet room. The booming voice, beyond the realm of likes and dislikes, made the listeners shrink back and feel vague fear, as if a wild beast was about to growl.

A commanding low tone that breaks the will of the weak and strikes fear into their hearts. Is it because of the momentum of the one at the top among the elite of evil who have gathered at the end of a long and even battle?

Yu-hee is looking down with her legs crossed on the roof of the building, and the man is kneeling on the ground, showing awe towards her. Even though their eyes meet, the difference in height does not seem to be significant.

It was strange. [Skill]? Was it an illusion, magic, or some kind of trick? No, it wasn’t. It was just that the man was strangely tall. Like Goliath in the Bible, the man’s height was far from the average height of a normal person.

That wasn’t the only thing that was different. The man’s appearance, other than his height, was clearly different from that of an ordinary person. There was a white, straggly growth on his grayish skin, a pupil with a nictitating membrane inside his eyelids, and his sharp fangs.

The ugly scars on his chest and shoulders, his thick neck, and the lower part of his face that could have been used as a blackboard, created after a fierce fight with someone, were more appropriate to describe his survival with the expression “how” rather than “how.”

“I felt it was necessary to urgently report the circumstances that had occurred, so I had no choice but to interrupt your break.”

“What good is forgiveness and self-sacrifice? Your Majesty, don’t worry about it.”

Even though she had a monster at her feet that could not be described as anything other than a monster, a monster, or an outsider, she seemed to be indifferent as if nothing had happened. Rather, she comfortably hugged one knee with her clasped hands and smiled softly as if she was ready to listen to her subject’s advice at any time.

Even if I were to show mercy now,

The man swallowed back a bitter laugh that escaped his lips as he stroked his battered body. It was the price he paid for flying to calm down the young queen who was running wild.

The man, crouching to hide his slow-recovering body, was only able to begin his full story two hours after the king had responded to his summons.

“US. [Handman] Lewis Marshall, who was in charge of the operation, was defeated.”

“Ugh… .”

Who was that? Yuhee tilted her head slightly so that those bowing before her wouldn’t notice.

… No. I can’t. I can’t remember at all. No matter how hard I try to remember someone, the only person who comes to mind is a blacksmith with a blunt face.

Hanging on to her wide arms, burying your nose in her chest or the back of her neck, and inhaling deeply, the intense body odor that wafts out makes fireworks explode in your head and sparks boil from the deepest part of your body. The hand that held you back from falling, even though it was difficult for you to be hugged, was kind. The serious voice whispering in your ear had a weight that made your heart pound-

“New York. The branch is. Vanished. Currently. [Bright Woman] and. [Balloon]. are. Remaining. Forces. The reason. The. Position. Is. Empty. ”

Calm down. I’m not Yuhee right now. She took a deep breath to calm her churning stomach.

-But honestly, it hurt when I was rejected.

It feels like the love letter I wrote all night is being ripped apart right before my eyes. It’s too much. I mustered up my courage, too. I’ve never confessed this to anyone before. How could you be so cruel? I hate you. I’ll kill you. But I’ll forgive you. It’s okay. Yeah, I’m a little lost right now, but you’ll eventually understand me. Because we’re the same. You’re probably shy. Of course, you allowed me to, right? That day in the house as the sun set. You said I could come anytime. Ah, shy. That’s why I like it better.

“The opponent. As expected. That’s what it is. In the end. It seems. that the cultivation. was successful. And-”

Hey, remember?

When you pinned me against the wall. When you grabbed my neck with those big, hot hands and revealed your eyes. That was the first contact you ever made with me? It was crazy good, but I hope you don’t provoke me too much. I think it’s too early. Sorry. Yeah, I’m not saying no. It’s just that I’m a woman with little patience. If that happens, I won’t be able to stand it anymore. I’m yours. You can be as rough as you want, but it was dangerous back then. I was so excited that I almost killed you. It’s okay. You don’t have to be sullen. Just take it slow. Let’s fall for it slowly? Don’t worry. Even if you stay still, I’ll come closer to you step by step. Yeah, because there’s nothing that can stand between us. Yeah. Do you love me? I really do. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Sa-rang.

Even if the man tried hard to talk, it was already in the background.

The first bountiful fruit given to her who was parched. That was the feeling called love.

No matter how hard I tried to pull myself together and console myself, it was a futile struggle. Like the juice seeping out of my teeth when I bite hard, my overflowing heart eventually ran wild and made it impossible for me to hear a single word.

It makes you feel like it’s not enough even when it’s full, and it makes you crave it even when you breathe it in. It incited the inherent madness within you and made Yuhee even crazier. Like a puppy in front of a bone, the lost reason didn’t come back easily.

“The report is. Above. ”

“… … .”

After finally finishing his speech, the man looked at the silent woman in front of him.

Even with his sharp eyesight, he couldn’t read her expression hidden in the thick darkness, but somehow the man noticed that something was wrong with her. She was usually a crazy woman, and she was originally an unpredictable person, but today was particularly bad.

What on earth happened while you were out of sight?

“… King?”

“… Ah. I see.”

Yu-hee, who had been holding her breath at his urging that wasn’t really urging, reacted belatedly.

The man, as if suspicious of something, clacked his sharp teeth together, making a wet friction sound, and added an explanation.

“Additional. As a courtesy. The item you brought. We are currently. looking for a craftsman to take care of it. Please. wait. a little longer.-”

“Yeah, that’s better. Let’s stop for a moment.”

She cut him off.

He pretended not to care at all about the detailed plan and progress report, and now he has lost interest in the progress of the work he urged.

Be that as it may, such things were no longer in Yuhee’s sight. The Demon King’s attention had long since shifted elsewhere.

The man was taken aback for a moment by her words, which included one hand resting under his chin and the other arm waving in a gesture of disapproval, and forgot his rudeness and asked back.

“What are you talking about?”

“Until I tell you again, I will postpone the plan.”

She smiled broadly, drawing the blunt blacksmith who had settled in her heart. Well, as long as he kept his oath, Yu-hee also promised not to disturb the peace. She planned to make a moderate effort.

… If it’s not too much, then. She smiled slightly, raising her little finger to touch the tip of her chin.

At those words, a silent commotion spread among the gathered elites. Now is the time. Why on earth?

But no one dared question or raise objections. The backside of society, a world of survival of the fittest based on a strict hierarchy of power. Among those who kneel and bow, strength is a strict law and status, and Yu-hee is the tyrant who stands above them. The tyrant’s words were not suggestions but sentences, and there was no one who could stop her decision. Except for one person.

Woohoohoo, the man once again showed reckless courage to her who was laughing quietly.

“But then. There may be. a hitch. in. the plan. Please. take. it. out. ”

Woojijik.

“… … !”

The generosity ended there. Yu-hee did not dare to forgive anyone who went against his will. The arrogant king deserved to punish the very unpleasant loyal subject who broke his happy thoughts and tried to admonish him.

Before she knew it, the black thorn stem she was holding in her hand pierced through the subordinate’s membrane and drew ‘dots’ on his side and abdomen again. It was an incomprehensible technique that she had no idea when she had caught it or thrown it. Her skill, which was close to being new, did not require any preparatory movements or preparatory postures. She had already engraved the results on her opponent’s body and belatedly left only a sound.

Push, a black foot silently came and stood in front of the man who had his expression set in a silent manner despite the blood spurting and the pain squealing.

“Marco.”

“Yes.”

In the darkness within the darkness, a pair of black dots called out to him with a dull madness. A low, ominous voice came toward him as he lowered his head and answered.

“Listen. [Carcass Dragon] Marco. The imprisoned dragon. The dismembered corpse dragon that was once called [Calamity].”

“I will listen.”

That black dot is the end point of royalty. [End point].

The two eyes that seemed as if they would sprout even the soul were swimming around in the night in the shape of a deep abyss. Those who still dared to live and breathe in the black threads of mana that stretched out hurriedly lowered their eyes and buried their heads in the ground as if kissing it.

“I’ve been waiting for 10 years. You’ve been waiting for 26 years.”

“… Yes.”

“Haven’t you been patient so far?”

“… … .”

The Demon King walked towards the dragon who was kneeling with a light gait as if dancing, and stepped on his body and grabbed the only remaining horn with his pale hand and shook it slightly. Following that touch, the pure white hair swam and the head of the dragon who had been defeated before was lifted. Their eyes met each other.

“How many more years would you wait if you delayed your plans a little now? Are you so worn out that you can’t even bear that much? Or do you think that giving them a little bit of a break at the end will change the outcome?”

“No, it isn’t.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Unlike you, even that [Chungmugong] couldn’t do anything to me in the end, so who would dare to oppose me? Answer me.”

“… … .”

“If you are still dissatisfied, would you like to die with me one more time?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

A brief silence.

The ground shook and the building shook as the two people stared at each other in silence. Others, whose lungs were squeezing in the murderous atmosphere, clenched their teeth and sweated like a waterfall.

How long has it been since then?

Marco, who had been enduring the [Demon King]’s glaring gaze, glanced at those struggling behind him and eventually admitted defeat with a sound similar to a sigh.

“Please forgive my slip of the tongue. Everything is according to the King’s will.”

“… Well, that’s okay. I understand your feelings. ”

“Thank you for your grace.”

Just as a child who feels bored with playing throws away the toy he was playing with, Yu-hee shook off the horn in his hand and opened his mouth calmly while looking at the people lying down around him.

“What the… . I know you’ve all been waiting for this moment, right? I know. Just wait a little longer. It won’t take long. The grace given to them won’t be long. ”

Yeah, it won’t be long, she laughed.

No matter how hard you try to brighten it up or add color to it, achromatic is still achromatic. A dark black that swallows up other colors. That’s the color that has taken root inside her and inside him.

Clap! She laughed bashfully, her momentum dying down with a clap.

“Okay, then… . Let’s disband now… .”

=====

“Did you go?”

“I used the [Color] skill more than ten times, but nothing came out. It definitely went away.”

“Eww, I’m alive!”

“Fuck, you’re still a reckless bitch.”

“That’s right. You’re always hiding in the shadows, and you can’t even see your face. If only half of those big tits were sagging.”

“Shut up.”

“No, that’s what I’m saying… .”

“That’s right. Brother Marco, you got hit the hardest, but you’re not even angry?”

“… I am. Okay.”

“It’s okay. We’re all dying. Hey! [Saint]! Come here and use this guy’s [Recovery Skill]!”

“Shut up, you fucking punk! My legs are shaking so bad I can’t even stand! Marco! Mar-R-Co! You crazy dragon head! Just let it go, why did you start a fight! Are you planning to kill everyone?!”

“… No face.”

“No, I was a little nervous too. Honestly, you didn’t say anything you couldn’t say, did you? You’ve finally made a plan and now you just need to put it into action, but what are you going to do if you stop things on your own?”

“Shut up, you little bastard!”

“Look at this fucking bitch? Did you see it?! Did you see it?! You’re a slut who’s been hooking up with other things besides God!”

“Are you fighting? Hey, are we finally going to have a showdown?! I’m the [Harvester] and it’s $50! What about Marco?”

“Noisy. Be quiet. Comrades. Be careful. Avoid excessive speech and behavior.”

“… … .”

“… Huh.”

“Hey, that’s not funny.”

“And. This. Can’t. Do. Any. Things. But. Wait. For. Natural. Recovery. That’s. That. Attack. So.”

“Huh? Really? Even with [Saint]’s [Skill]?”

“Didn’t you know? See you.”

“… It’s frustrating, but it’s true. That [Recovery Skill] doesn’t work either. It’s hard to explain, but just know that it’s the same kind of will.”

“This is crazy. I have a glass body so I absolutely cannot get hit, right?”

“… [Saint]. Call the tomboy who is dispatched.”

“Why?”

“I have to find out what the King is thinking. [Bright Woman]. If it’s that guy, even the King can see it.”

“What. I’m not a father who worries about his problem daughter.”

“… Please. ”

“Okay, I understand. But more than that, are you really going to cancel all your plans like she said? Then I’m going to go back to Korea and rest.”

“If that is the King’s will, then there is nothing I can do.”

“Then I guess I’ll go back to the branch for now. There’s a lot of work to take care of.”

“… … .”

“What? [fishing]. Why are you sweating so much again?”

“I had an accident.”

“What?”

“No, no no no, of course I knew the operation would start today, so I thought I’d have a little happy time in advance… . I guess I played a little prank on the little guys in this country. I guess I poked them in the side. ”

“… … .”

“Just, I told the bastards that if they were bored, they could raid places with lots of civilians in a few days, raid the gates, and play around like that, and I threw them some bait. What, what is it? There was a place that looked like it would be good for causing trouble. It was some kind of D-class gate. What was the name?”

“… … .”

“Anyway. Am I going to Jo Jin?”

“May he rest in peace.”

“That. Me. How. Can’t. Do. That.”

“You are dead.”

“Aftercare. At least. Do. it. Well. Maybe. You. Know. They. Will. Spare. Your. Life. ”

“Shit… .”
