Moo-myeong frowned at the man’s words, which were hard to believe, and took a couple of steps back, holding his sword.

‘First of all, you have to stay calm.’

And, you must be careful. Your teacher said that being careful is good for everyone.

In the first place, you believe in someone who is the same as you?

If this were not her imagination, she would have laughed at the man’s words and ignored him.

But, this is his own imagination.

It’s okay to doubt what a man says, but you shouldn’t completely deny it.

“Why did you come to me?”

So I ask:

I need to get a little more information from what the man says.

“I came here to get what was mine back.”

mine thing…?

The nameless man’s brow furrowed at the man’s words.

“… What is mine?”

Initially, this was the first time this man and I had met.

So, even if you want to take it away, you can’t.

He himself has never been taught by his teacher to steal from others.

“I have never taken anything that was yours.”

The man shook his head at his own question.

“Of course. You never took it away.”

“… Then.”

“But I was taken away.”

What the hell is that?

As she frowned at the words she didn’t understand, the man slowly approached her.

‘… Is this an attack?’

He also raised his sword to prepare for an unforeseen situation.

“… What.”

Soon the man took off his robe, revealing a bewildered expression on his face and dropping his sword.

“It was so miserable. I felt a deep hatred for you, like a bug living on the future I created.”

His face, which had been hidden until now, had scars here and there, and was slightly wrinkled.

“What the hell happened… .”

Because it hit his own face.

Confusion arose.

There was no possibility that the author had changed his face through magic.

As I said, this place is imaginary.

Since you are the master of this image, it is nearly impossible for you to exert enough influence to change someone else’s face.

“What the hell happened… .”

Was it true what the man said about me?

So then, who am I?

My head started to spin in a situation I didn’t understand, and I wanted to get away, so I took a step back.

“Ask me a question.”

For some reason, I couldn’t avoid the approaching man.

“Do you leave bugs you find in your house without killing them?”

The man, whose expression at first glance seemed hateful, added through gritting his teeth.

“No, that won’t do. I have to kill the damn bug and get what’s mine back.”

The man, who had come up to the nameless man’s nose, placed his hand on his forehead.

But, the nameless could not resist.

The first reason is that the current situation is so confusing.

The second reason is that the power felt from him is not inferior to that of the Master.

… he has no chance against this man.

The man who had been gritting his teeth and expressing his anger until now suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and said.

“But, it must be unfair to you. So I will have mercy on you.”

At the same time, magic flowed out of the man’s hand and covered him.

The strangeness began to disappear from the nameless eyes.

“In exchange for taking your memories, I will leave you with your consciousness.”

My eyes close as the magic consumes me.

“… You’re scared, huh. Are you aiming for transcendence too?”

The man’s voice gradually becomes blurred.

“I guess I’ll have to change the plan a bit… .”

Immediately afterwards, darkness began to fill the space.

* * *

… really nameless?

Why did that guy suddenly appear?

If we recall what Lucius said about the Nameless One, he is a different person from the Demon King.

By the way, is there someone here without a name?

So, that means that the nameless person escaped the pursuit of the Demon King’s army and infiltrated here…

Is this even possible in the first place?

“… Nameless one, you are not lying to me, are you?”

No matter how much the Demon King’s army looks superior because of Lily and Jackal, this is their territory.

It is generally accepted that one exerts greater power in one’s own domain.

… It wouldn’t have been easy to break through.

Besides, according to Lily, uninvited guests are not allowed in this room.

As if to prove it, Lily also can’t enter this room?

But the voice of the nameless one is heard here. So, it doesn’t make sense.

At that moment, when my mind was filled with such complicated thoughts, a change occurred.

-Shock.

The nameless thing on my back suddenly started vomiting a lot of blood.

“Ugh…! Ouch!”

“Anonymous?!”

He put the nameless man down on the floor and shook his shoulder, forgetting about the situation around him.

…Please! It has to be okay!

How much time has passed?

“S, Master… .”

Anonymous spoke to me in a trembling voice.

“Yes, Anonymous! I can hear you!”

“You shouldn’t listen to him… .”

What are his words?

After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he began to feel the pulse of the nameless man to check his condition.

… Mac is normal. That’s a relief.

Feeling a little relieved, I asked calmly.

“Are you talking about the nameless one?”

“No… he is lying to deceive the Master.”

“Are you lying…?”

What’s the benefit of lying?

As I tilted my head in puzzlement, the anonymous added:

“He is not a nameless person, he is the Demon King.”

“… The Demon King?”

I also had my doubts, but…

Are you really not a nameless person?

I looked around hurriedly to check on him, but at some point the voice I was hearing suddenly stopped.

… When did this guy disappear again?

Is this what you meant when you said you couldn’t talk for long because your internal energy was lacking?

“Is that true?”

“That’s right.”

I narrowed my eyes at the anonymous words.

However, it seems a bit strange for him to be the Demon King.

There’s no reason for the Demon King to make such a pun against himself, right?

And by the way, mentioning the nameless one?

No matter how much I think about it, there is no benefit the Demon King can gain by deceiving me.

That’s right, at a time when my head was very confused.

“Ugh.”

“… Anonymous?”

Anonymous began to raise his body from where he was lying, removing my hand from his forehead.

“Shouldn’t you rest a little more?”

“I’m fine. But there’s something more urgent that needs to be taken care of.”

Despite my protests, Myeong-un got up from his seat and began to walk slowly.

“… What is urgent?”

“The Demon King has betrayed us.”

He frowned at the nameless words that seemed so calm and asked back.

“What do you mean? Explain it to me in detail so I can understand.”

“When I lost consciousness, I talked to him.”

When I lost consciousness, it must have been around the time I was talking to him… Did I invade his nameless consciousness during that time?

As I nodded as if to tell him to continue talking, Myeong-un added while moving his feet.

“The Demon King told me his plan, as if he knew he could take control of my body.”

Soon, we will arrive at our destination.

Nameless, who had arrived in front of the Demon King’s chair, began to look around as if searching for something.

“He said he was going to confuse the teacher and then take advantage of the opportunity to steal his karma. Ah. He found it.”

The Demon King stole my karma?

The anonymous man touched something around the chair, and soon a giant crystal was revealed.

-Kugugu

I squinted my eyes and looked at it, and saw a man trapped inside the crystal.

A skinny man with long white hair and a huge horn that stands out from the top of his head like something a demon might have.

I felt a strong sense of magic from that man, which I had felt when I visited the Demon King’s territory.

“Is the author the Demon King…?”

Thanks to that, the author realized that he was the Demon King.

The nameless man who was looking at the crystal turned his gaze towards me and added.

“The devil who repaid kindness with enmity must be punished for his sins.”

“… Are you trying to kill the Demon King?”

“Yes.”

It’s not that I’ve never thought about killing the Demon King, but… so suddenly?

I was embarrassed and told that to Anonymous.

“But still, is it really true that the Demon King is like that? -”

“Master.”

The anonymous man who cut me off shook his head with a determined expression.

“Sometimes being too cautious can be poisonous.”

The anonymous man who said that handed me a sword.

“Hurry and break the crystal that sealed the Demon King, kill him, and let the Master absorb his karma.”

A quiet voice flowed from the firm nameless words.

If it is true that he betrayed me… .

There is ample cause to kill him.

But, the reason why I am hesitating like this.

I don’t understand why the Demon King insisted on taking the difficult path of deceiving me and absorbing my karma.

In the first place, the conditions for filling the karma would be sufficient, right?

Isn’t that why the Cheonmasingyo was established?

“Master. Time is of the essence. Lily, Jackal, and the other Demon Kings will surely come here soon to disturb us.”

Although I was still nervous at the anonymous words that seemed to urge me, I nodded.

Because the only people I can truly trust are my disciples.

but.

“I don’t think it’s necessary to break the seal.”

“What does that mean?”

Anonymous words, seemingly embarrassed.

I passed by that nameless person and picked up the wooden sword.

They say excessive caution is poison… .

I agree with that too.

But I’m such a coward that I can only prepare for the unexpected.

Just in case.

Will the Demon King who woke up from the crystal harm me?

If there is a Demon King with enough power to hide his location from me, I might be defeated.

As long as there is even the slightest possibility of that, one must be cautious, even for the sake of anonymity.

He spoke while wrapping his internal energy around the wooden sword.

“There is a herb that I haven’t told you about yet.”

“Don’t tell me…?”

The 5th form of the divine swordsmanship technique: absorbing the sky

If you use this, you don’t have to go through the trouble of killing the Demon King.

I can make that karma mine.
