by fnovelpiaA demon that appeared in the treasure vault.
The appearance was so neutral that it was hard to tell if it was a boy or a girl. I couldn’t help but have doubts about the demon in front of me.
‘Why is the Demon here?’
I think about it carefully, but I have no idea what it is.
Did I miss anything?
If you ask yourself this question, the answer you get is NO.
There is no connection whatsoever between the Assis story and the Demons.
Of course, it’s not like computer programming where a set story is repeated, but even considering that, the demons’ appearance here was unexpected.
But the more I look at it, the more new questions arise.
‘I’ve seen this somewhere before.’
It’s a familiar demon.
So, it’s one of the NPCs I saw in Taosul… .
Where have I seen you?
“Huh?”
As I was recalling my memories, the gaze of the demon who was rudely kicking the treasure met mine.
“Huh? You?!”
The demon’s eyes widen the moment he sees me.
It was as if he knew me.
The demon greets me with a bright smile, as if I had reunited with an old friend.
“Wow! I was looking for you anyway, how did I meet you here? That’s amazing! It’s already fun!”
“Hmm, do you know me? This is my first time seeing you.”
“Of course you know! You’re the owner of the magic tower, right?”
If my guess is correct, Mirabelle is the owner of the magic tower. I have no idea what on earth she was thinking when she became the owner of the magic tower.
Anyway, if we just look at the facts, I am the owner of Matapju.
More importantly, it’s a magic tower… .
‘Matap?’
At that moment, something flashed in my mind.
“Elder of the Demon Tribe, the mischievous Zacharil?”
“Wow! You know me? How did you know? How did you guess? Did the top star tell you?”
Zacharil answers the question with an innocent attitude.
I had to swallow my saliva at that.
The Magic Tower appears only briefly, and is not a very important area. The same goes for the members of the Magic Tower, but there is a reason why Jacaril is particularly memorable.
The mischievous Jacaril.
One of the elders of the Tower of Magic.
Contrary to popular belief, all the magicians of the Roman Tower are crazy, but among them, Zacharil has a unique personality.
A collection of pure evil that knows no guilt and will even commit massacre to relieve boredom.
The fact that such a guy appeared in front of me meant that something was seriously wrong. Especially now that he was showing interest in me.
“Is there anything you need from me?”
“Yeah! Morgana knew I’d be bored so she told me to go play!”
Morgana is definitely the witch who was with Mirabelle.
Morgana sent Jacaril to me?
Did Mirabelle order you to do this?
I have no idea what the heck is going on.
But I know this one thing for sure.
That the greatest danger of a lifetime is right in front of us.
“Since he’s the master of the Magic Tower, he should be stronger than the Magic Tower Master, right? Hmm, but I don’t feel any strength. What kind of strength are you hiding?”
“Wait a minute. Playing with me won’t be much fun. I know someone more fun, so let’s play with him.”
“Really?”
“Of course. Since you’re up here, with me… .”
“No! I want to play with you! You must be very strong since you are the owner of the magic tower. Show me your strength! Play with me!”
Jacaril spreads his wings wide, stretching his limbs in all directions.
The Black Sea covering the treasure trove.
A school of sharks swam with their fins out, then suddenly rose up.
***
The princess’s room.
The already cool room became chilly under the gloomy influence of Assis. Snowflakes fell from the ceiling.
For Assis, who had never thought of his family, this kind of reunion was so sudden. He knew it was sad, but ironically, he didn’t shed any tears.
The same goes for emotions.
Confusion rather than sadness took over most of my emotions.
He is aware that he is strange. The people of Lake Fortress are saddened by Darka’s death and shed tears.
But Assis’s heart only ached a little.
Maybe it’s been too long since I’ve tried to fix a broken doll.
Karami helped me a lot.
I just feel sorry for him.
Assis became even more gloomy.
He buried his head in his knees.
That was when.
Assis’s pupils dilated momentarily at the strange and evil aura. His drooping head shot up.
“… … Rami?”
I quickly turned my head to look for him, but Karami was nowhere to be seen.
My heart sinks cold.
The place where this ability is felt is underground.
His usual sluggish appearance was nowhere to be found as he moved with agility.
I stomped my feet right after the floor was frozen.
He broke the ice floor and went down to the basement in one breath.
All that is visible is a black ground like an abyss.
Assis created an ice platform in the air and landed lightly.
“Huh? Another strange guy here?”
Assis locks eyes with Jacaril.
He turned his head as if he wasn’t very interested.
But Karami was not seen here either.
“Pretty sister! Who are you looking for?”
“… Rami. Where are you?”
“Rami? Oh~ Are you the owner of the magic tower? Isn’t this really too much? I thought you were going to play with me, but you suddenly disappeared right before my eyes? ”
“Rami. Where are you.”
“Well? I don’t know. I was going to eat it, but it disappeared leaving only this one behind.”
A black shark approached Jacaril. He took out what it was biting.
That was one arm.
From below the elbow to the hand.
Blood dripped from the horribly cut section. It was not difficult for Assis to figure out who it belonged to.
After all, it was Karami’s arm that was always watching from a step behind and carrying the load on his back.
“Where on earth did he go? Oh, are you suggesting we play hide and seek? I see! Then I’ll be the tagger? Sister, too──”
Bam!
Jacaril froze in an instant.
Jacaril, who had turned into a block of ice, fell to the ground.
A tiara appeared on Assis’ head.
Her beautiful face was distorted into a fierce one.
A shark swimming in the Black Sea swallowed Jacaril. Soon after, a wet Jacaril slipped out of the shark’s mouth.
“What the hell are you doing! You’re suddenly freezing people!”
“Give me back… Rami!”
“Well, I don’t know either. If you keep interfering, I’ll eat you first!”
with a splash!
Assis stepped back from the flow of magic he felt under his feet and stepped onto a new ice platform. A whale shark rose from the sea and swallowed the old platform.
A school of sharks swims in the Black Sea.
They look for opportunities to hunt their prey.
Assis did not hesitate.
I was willing to fly to the center of the Black Sea.
A school of sharks that can’t miss a chance.
Zzzz – They opened their mouths wide and rushed at once.
Just before the sharp teeth tear apart Assis’s body.
A burst of blue light appeared.
A school of sharks too.
Black Sea.
Treasure house too.
Everything enveloped in light cools.
“What, what is it?”
Jacaril’s exclusive magic, the Black Sea.
A black sea created by the magic unique to the Demon Race.
If you were a terrestrial creature, you would dive into the sea and be eaten alive by a school of sharks, and even if you were to defeat the sharks, they would recover in an instant.
Endless shark hell.
Once you successfully deploy it, you can gain an advantage in battle. It’s an unreasonable magic that doesn’t require a long time to deploy.
But the opponent was not good.
Of all people, it was Assis who was an authority on ice magic and had even been contracted as a slave under the protection of Skadia.
The powerful Assis, reinforced several times, overlaid the Black Sea into her domain with overwhelming power.
The frozen sharks move again.
But they are no longer Jacaril’s sharks.
They are the loyal subordinates of Assis.
“What are you doing! They’re my kids!”
Jacaril throwing a tantrum like a child.
Assis doesn’t like to hurt people.
When the feeling of sadness touches her heart, she becomes sad too, as if it resonates with her.
But now ASIS didn’t even pretend to listen.
I didn’t even feel any emotion like sadness.
“You. I can’t forgive you.”
Because I was overcome by a greater emotion than that: anger.
Assis jumped high, maintaining his stance.
“Tsk!”
Jacaril stretches both hands forward and casts a spell.
A black torrent pours down.
But it was meaningless.
Assis swung his sword once and the wave froze, then swung it again and it split in half.
There was no way such a technique could work when even the ultimate attack was blocked. Asis’s ice sword emitted a cold light and cut off one of Zacharil’s wings.
Chomp!
“Evil!”
Falling wings.
Jacaril pressed his hand against the severed shoulder blade. He flapped his remaining wing vigorously and barely managed to stay in the air.
Assis prepares to jump again, this time to cut off the windpipe rather than the wings.
Jacaril waved his hands in horror.
By then, there was not a trace of laughter to be found.
“Hey, wait! That guy looks important. Do you have time to do this? His arm was cut off? Where is he bleeding right now? If we don’t find him quickly, he’ll die from excessive bleeding?”
It was at this point that Assis paused for the first time.
An arm lying carelessly on the ground.
My head, which was burning hot, cools down.
What matters right now is Karami’s safety.
Time is of the essence.
“Where are you. Rami.”
“Mo, I don’t know! How many times do I have to tell you that the light flashed and disappeared?”
Assis takes up the pose.
“Eek?! Seriously! You must have used some kind of magic tool! It must be somewhere in the warehouse. Well, if you look carefully, won’t you find it?”
“… … .”
“Maybe they’re scared because I’m here and they’re not coming out? I, I should disappear quickly, right? So I won’t bother you anymore… Hehe.”
Zacharil, who was laughing slyly, passed by Asis while looking around, and then quickly disappeared.
Assis, left alone, looked around.
Jacaril is gone, but Karami still hasn’t shown up.
Assis called Karami in a cautious voice.
“Rami…? Are you okay now? Where are you?”
Then something magical happened.
At one end of the warehouse, a light flashed from a pile of treasure.
The exact same phenomenon as Jacaril described.
Then, as expected, it was Karami who appeared.
Laid face down on the floor, with one arm missing.
