134 – Elder Lich, King of the Undead – 2
‘Did he actually make it himself, or did he pick it up because a copy was lying around sowhere?’
Either of the two makes sense. If it’s the forr, then that guy is actively deceiving us, and if it’s the latter, then that guy is also being deceived.
Of course, even if I was being deceived, I didn’t feel sorry for him. If you mocked for not being able to tell the difference between real and fake, I would have ridiculed you.
“It’s a lie! There is no way He died!”
“You are denying reality even after seeing the evidence thrown in front of you…… I feel pathetic and weak…….”
The 1st Corps Commander was losing his mind in real ti right next to him. I felt like I had to step forward before it was too late. I walked a few steps. The hollow eye sockets turned towards .
“Do not interfere with the devil’s affairs…… Human…… If you want to be ruled, I will use you as a subordinate at any ti…….”
“I ca forward because I couldn’t stand to see you talking so much bullsh*t. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if I made a fake joke about being the real devil and all that? Before we do that, we have to prove that it’s really a magic sword. Is not it?”
“It’s a real magic sword…… I’m struggling to sohow deny the reality in front of …… Are you saying that there are two magic swords in the world? ….”
“Then let’s prove it. Did you know that the magic sword, like the warrior’s holy sword, has special abilities that only its owner can use? “If it’s real, can you show it to us?”
I learned that the magic sword had unique abilities after hearing it from Elisier. This is the ability to kill that made you feel so scared that you let go when you encountered the hero.
If that’s fake, let alone letting go of life, you wouldn’t even know what ability I’m talking about, so I would never be able to answer.
“Are you trying to give , as a human subject, orders? … That’s unpleasant…….”
“Well. Isn’t it more unpleasant to be in a situation where one holds a magic sword and is questioned as to whether it is real or fake? If it were , I would have done the sa. How to use the magic sword must have entered your mind as soon as you held it. “Is there any reason not to show it?”
As I fired continuously, the guy seed to hesitate a little. You could dismiss my words as lies, but the fact that you don’t does that suggests that you know they’re lies too.
If you look at the fact that you can’t even co up with a proper rebuttal and just keep saying different things, you probably didn’t expect a situation where you would be questioned like this. Because the energy I felt was practically real.
In fact, if it weren’t for , Dullahan would have collapsed.
“Why? “Can’t I use it?”
And, the Elder Lich was still doing nothing. Her sunken eye sockets were still focused on , but she had kept her mouth shut, as if she had realized that continuing the conversation would only increase my distrust.
Distrust does not go away just because you keep your mouth shut. Rather, it only amplifies it. The proof was that Dullahan, who looked like he was about to lose his mind, drew his sword again.
“Then there is only one answer. “I’ll treat it as a fake from now on, so if you don’t want to do that, prove it.”
Sereung took out his dragon sword and aid it. Even in this situation, the bastard remained silent, and Dullahan finally seed to be convinced and shouted in an extrely angry voice.
“You disloyal bastard! Not only did you dare to misrepresent the Demon King, but you even tried to misrepresent his symbol! “I will never forgive you!”
It seed like he was really angry all the way to the top, as the nearby floor was cracking like a spider web just from the waveform coming out of his neck. Nevertheless, the Elder Lich was sitting on a throne made of bone and did not react at all.
“Did the magic sword have that kind of ability? … I should have paid a little more attention…….”
Then, I clicked my tongue, which wasn’t even there. In fact, it was an attitude of admitting that he had lied.
“What, you’re so quick to admit it?”
“A small crack can bring down a huge castle…… Once distrust arises, it will never go away and will only increase…… What more can I do…… This is a fake I made…….”
He laughed, rattling his bones. The magic sword in his hand slowly lost its vitality and he turned into a re bone.
“But human…… You only know one, but you don’t know both…… If I could make a replica so elaborate that it could fool even the demonic army commander, would I have made just one? ….”
“Ah, I roughly understand what you’re trying to say. So? “What did you do by making several?”
“I was picked up by undead who were specially packaged as if they were alive, so they were scattered all over the front lines…… The one that was created with the most effort died at the hands of a hero…… Others are just following my orders and slaughtering humans…….”
The Elder Lich threw away the replica of the demonic sword that had turned into a bone like throwing away trash, and opened his arms wide.
“I will see if you have any compassion left for your own people…” … Will you really help your fellow human beings, or will you not help them? … ? Ruler…… I’m done talking, so kill …… I will rise again from the source of life and co back…….”
After hearing those words, I was massaging my throbbing left hand and was about to take out the spear.
“Yes Inooooom!”
The Dullahan rushed in at the speed of the wind and cut the Elder Lich to pieces. The bastard didn’t leave a single laugh and imdiately turned into bone dust and disappeared.
The evil spirits that spread following the slash went berserk, eating away at the real world. Dullahan shrugged his shoulders as if his anger had eased even though he and the evil spirit had destroyed 2/3 of the room where the throne was.
“… ….”
After that, he slowly put the sword into his body, pulled out his helt, put it on his side, and returned in front of again in his headless form.
“You showed disgrace. Sorry.”
“That’s enough. Rather than that, we need to think about what to do now. You probably heard it too, right? “They spread replicas of the magic sword on the front lines.”
“Of course I heard it! How dare you defile and insult His symbol…… ! “He wouldn’t mind being torn to death a thousand tis!”
My tightly clenched fist was shaking.
“You find it and destroy it. On top of that, he also killed the undead that he had specially created. Instead, never kill humans.”
“Never kill humans? Hmm, I understand. “Is it because you’re human?”
Seeing Dullahan saying that he understood out of kindness, as if asking why he had to do that, I realized once again that he was also the commander of a demon army. Still, seeing that reaction, it seed like they would just cover it up and not reject it.
“What is the reason he copied the magic sword and spread it on the front lines with humans?”
“Of course it’s not to kill humans, is it?”
“I know well. Then, if you go around killing humans, you will be accomplishing his goal instead. Is not it? “Are you going to do the sa thing as a guy who doesn’t know honor or loyalty?”
“Absolutely not!”
Dullahan jumped up. Not as a taphor, but in the literal sense of the word.
“That’s why you shouldn’t kill humans. Not for , but for you. “You understand, right?”
“I understand! I will never kill humans! “Thank you for protecting my honor, dear!”
The helt on his side was nodded up and down several tis. Was that sothing that could be remotely controlled?
“If you understand, let’s go first and destroy the replica. “I will also tell the humans not to attack you.”
“We don’t attack each other? It’s a strange feeling. Doesn’t that make it seem like an alliance has been ford? “Why should I do that with a race full of scum like you who are not honorable and don’t know honor?”
“I think it’s dishonor for the sake of fa. Recall the situation of protecting your master who was falsely accused. “The situation itself is shaful, but can it really be called a dishonor?”
“Oh! Is that so!”
I was fortunate that he was easy to understand.
Really.
“I see. Even if the 1st Legion Commander and his ghost cavalry appear on the battlefield, they must not attack, huh…….”
“Currently, the entire Demon World has been invaded by the Elder Lich. 1St Corps Commander Heo Ja-man is almost the only one who prioritizes killing undead over humans. So he has no reason to attack us either.”
“I heard the report. “They say that only the entity holding the magic sword and the undead around it were cleared away, and the humans disappeared without even being touched.”
The emperor glanced at the ghost Ma, who was clinging to my right and waving his hand, as if he was scared by the chairman, and then asked another question.
“Let ask you one question. “Can we take the fact that the Elder Lich has encroached on the Demon World to an that the Demon King who was supposed to control the legion commanders under him has disappeared?”
“I guess you’ve already co up with your own answer?”
“…… I get it. Take it as a positive sign. What do you think, Chairman Erestica?”
“… ….”
“Erestica Chairman?”
“Huh? Ah, I’m sorry. I was thinking about sothing else for a mont. “What did you say?”
“I asked what you thought of that man’s proposal.”
“Oh my…… Huh. If that’s what that person says, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with accepting it. “As long as you don’t have to worry about the 1st Corps Commander attacking you first.”
“At least that won’t happen until I say the alliance has been resolved. “I assure you.”
“You don’t look like you’re lying.”
When the chairman noticed that he was actively giving strength to my words, the emperor said he would think about it for a while and issued an order to congratulate the guests.
I went out first, and the chairman followed behind . Several royal guards escorted to the outside of the imperial palace with uncomfortable eyes. As soon as the Royal Guard left, the Chairman cast a soundproof spell and asked with a smile.
“How do you feel about speaking informally to the emperor, child?”
“…… Well. It doesn’t really feel like it. “After eting Laura, he seed to more like a father than an emperor.”
I put the mask in my pocket and took off the hood. The ghost horse, which completely recognized as its owner, disappeared as if lting into the shadows. The chairman’s wide smile grew even deeper.
“I asked him why he ca to like that and asked to have an audience with the emperor…… There was a reason. Are you feeling okay? “If you get hurt, you will never, ever be allowed to do it.”
The chairman bent down and looked around my body. Breasts of absurd size were shaking boisterously before my eyes.
“It’s okay. “I’ve never been hurt while traveling around the demon world.”
“That’s right, that’s right. “You are a great man, you are a great man.”
A large hand stroked my head with a bright smile. I didn’t say that you can recover even if you get hurt anyway. Because the result was obvious.
The chairman stroked here and there and hugged several tis before stepping back as if he was satisfied. I felt like I could still feel the soft texture all over my body.
“Have you made any plans for the next ti, child?”
“I am trying to figure out how to find the Life Vessel. “I think if that’s resolved, the rest won’t be a problem.”
It was a sha to reveal the location of the Life Vessel at that ti, but it was the best choice at the ti.
The reason he was convinced of Astaroth’s betrayal was because the location of his lifeline was revealed. Otherwise, he might have thought it was sothing he could check later.
“It’s a life vessel…… Yes. “I have a good way.”
“What thod are you talking about?”
The chairman smiled slightly and hugged again.
“Don’t you want to ride , kid?”
