Raon swallowed his dry saliva.
‘Damn it.’
The real devil appears.
The worst assumption I had made after hearing Lars’ rant came true. That monster approaching at a slow pace was a demon king of the same level as Lass, the Lord of Sloth.
The dark sky and ground become distorted every time Sloth moves, wondering if his identity is a lie. The space is being torn apart by the enormous magical energy that is released as if breathing.
“Well, what on earth is that…?” .”
Milland, who read Sloth’s energy, trembled with the hand holding the sword. Even for him who became a Master, the existence of the Demon King seems to have been a shock in itself.
No, it seemed like he was more shocked because he was strong. The iron man’s expression became crumpled like tree bark.
-It’s not as much as the Demon World, but I’ve gathered quite a lot of energy.
Lars looked down at the approaching Sloth and laughed in amusement.
-It’s quite the theme of a sleepy person.
‘Why is the devil here? ‘Aren’t you the only one who came to the human world?’
Ras sometimes brought up stories about other demon kings, but he never said that they were in this land. Raon couldn’t figure out why Sloth was here.
-There’s no need to tell me why that guy is here, but there’s no point in telling me that.
‘It has no meaning? ‘You’re just choosing unlucky things to say.’
-It’s true. Even if I tell you at your current level, you won’t understand.
‘Tsk.’
Raon clicked his tongue briefly. Lars doesn’t lie. This means that even if I tell you what I said, I won’t be able to understand it.
‘Why is he coming here?’
-Because you guys woke me up.
Ras glanced down at the troops standing on the castle wall with eerie eyes.
-Slos was sleeping at the top of that mountain. He fell asleep as if he were dead, and did not even notice the king he saw at first. However, I woke up from sleep once in a while due to battles in the valley, waves, and attacks by crazy guys wearing helmets.
‘Then the sleepyhead who fell asleep again before… .
-okay. That damn guy. Like a sleeper who spends the most time in the demon world, I didn’t wake up and fell asleep again.
Lars cursed someone, calling him an idiot who only slept for a month, and it seems it was that demon lord.
-When the doppelganger exploded, he felt the loud noise and the energy of black magic, and the lazy man fully woke up.
“her… .”
I laughed out loud because it was so absurd that I woke up and released such a killer energy wave.
-It’s not just sleep. That guy is a special species among special species. It’s no different from turning into a devil because of sleep.
‘what?’
-I’ll tell you an interesting story.
Lars’ blue eyes shined as he enjoyed the increasingly powerful energy waves of Sloth.
-Slos is a demon that sleeps even in the demon world. How did a guy like that become the devil?
‘no way… ‘
When I connected it to the current situation, I felt like I knew what the reason was.
-Looking at that expression, it looks like he recognized it. okay. This is because he killed all the people who started fighting while he was sleeping.
Lars’s smile rose like a crescent moon, and his life flowed down.
-The Demon World is a land of fighting and desire. Sleeping openly in such a world is the same as asking someone to kill me. But that guy survived by killing all the attacking demons.
‘her… .’
-Killing people when they fight, killing people when they attack, and killing people when they wake up continued for thousands of years, and that person became the monarch of the demon world.
Is it because of this urgent situation? For the first time, the story of Ra’s’ Demon World did not feel boring.
‘Then even now… .’
-right. The reason he is moving now is to erase you who have woken him up several times.
‘Damn it!’
The more I hear the story, the more there is no way to stop Sloth. How can we stop the demon king who wakes us up and comes to take revenge? The only person I thought could stop that guy was Glenn Sieghardt.
-How to stop it? There are two ways to prevent slowdown in that state. The strong and the sacrifice. Neither of those are here.
Lars pointed at the approaching Sloth, crushing the pure white earth.
‘A strong man?’
-okay. If there is a person like your queen or the main king in this castle, Sloth will avoid fighting.
‘why?’
-Whether you win or lose, the fight takes a long time, so you can’t sleep.
‘her… .’
The more I listen to it, the crazier it becomes. Sloth was a demon lord even more insane than Ras.
“cold… . I’m sleepy… . It’s all annoying… . But the thing that disturbs my sleep is… .”
Every time I heard the slow, broken words, I got goosebumps. The power in his voice was terrifying.
“uh? Uh… .”
Therian felt Sloth’s presence and broke into a cold sweat that made his clothes wet with sweat. Her eyes opened like rotten eggs.
“Um, what is that monster… .”
“Quaaaay… .”
“This is a fight that can’t be won… .”
Even high-ranking warriors among swordsmen and knights dropped the weapons they were holding due to Sloth’s overwhelming energy. The fighting spirit drains from their eyes. He didn’t even think about running away and just fell to his knees.
‘Shit.’
Even those with excellent senses can feel the energy of Sloth, so the stronger the person, the quicker they will despair. As Sloth approaches, this situation will become more serious.
“I’m sleepy… . I’m so sleepy… . But it’s cold… .”
Sloth approached me, repeating the words sleepy and cold.
‘I’m sleepy, anyway. ‘It’s cold?’
I couldn’t understand why the Demon King could feel the cold.
‘Why do you say it’s cold?’
-Didn’t the king say it at the beginning? That guy’s nickname is . It accepts cold, heat, and attacks. That’s his strengths and weaknesses.
Although it was an ability that seemed cumbersome, it seemed to have great advantages.
‘Can’t we just go somewhere where it’s not cold?’
-That guy is the lord of sloth. He’s a guy who doesn’t even bother to think. Don’t expect any common sense from that idiot.
He is crazy in a different way than Lars. It seems that the Demon King can only do this if he is out of his mind.
“Keuheook!”
“Wow, it’s a monster! “It’s a monster!”
“Wow, you’re crazy. What are you going to do with that? .”
Now even ordinary knights and swordsmen felt Sloth’s energy. Everyone lost their fighting spirit and bowed their heads to the floor.
“Huh… .”
Raon took a deep breath and lowered his posture. The pressure on you is also increasing exponentially. It was to the point where he lost his mind.
-There are two options given to you.
‘two?’
– Either hand over your body to the main king and stop that guy, or get slaughtered like this.
Lars’ eyes sparkle with vivid light. He was confident of victory.
-Except for those two methods, there is no way for you and those humans to survive. I assure you.
‘… … .’
Raon clenched his fists. As Lars said, the situation is the worst. I couldn’t see any way to get through it.
-From that mountain to the front of this castle wall, there is no different from a barrier.
‘Barrier? I didn’t feel anything like that.’
-A blood barrier that was created naturally by the blood and resentment of humans and monsters for hundreds of years.
‘What do you mean by that?’
-The moment Sloth breaks down the castle wall and even a single step enters the castle, the mediator lizards and your spirit who has escaped the boundary will flock here.
Lars pointed to the castle wall cracking with a rustling sound.
-If a great war breaks out, ordinary humans will not be left with even a single bone fragment.
‘If a fight like that happens, even Sloth can’t sleep.’
– Didn’t I tell you? That guy doesn’t think about future events. Unless someone like the main king is standing in front of the castle right now, there is no way to stop him.
Lars smiled, saying it would be better to hand over the body before it was too late.
‘Is there any guarantee that those people will survive if they hand over their bodies to you?’
-Try your best. It will inevitably go out of control at first, but it can be controlled after that.
‘Runaway?’
-A lot of time has passed with my soul connected to you without a physical body. Since the distance from the body is far away, there is no choice but to run away at first.
‘crazy.’
I couldn’t help but curse. If Lass, who is on a rampage, and Sloth, who is irritated from not being able to sleep, collide, the entire castle will blow up. I couldn’t do something crazy like that.
‘I have to do it.’
You have to somehow solve it yourself.
“Aaaah!”
“Kwaaaaaak!”
“Hey, that one over there! What is that!”
“It’s a monster… .”
Now even the soldiers felt Sloth’s energy. I either fainted immediately from the electric power, or collapsed and foamed at the mouth.
“Raon.”
Milland, who was still standing in front, called out to him. My voice trembled, but my mind did not waver.
“Come this way.”
“… yes.”
Raon forced his back and approached Milland, who was standing right above the castle gate.
“thanks.”
“yes?”
“Thanks to your advance warning, we were able to send out all the civilians. “You are the greatest blessing to come to Habun Castle.”
A faint laugh. He seemed to have no intention of backing down even now.
“Take the others with you and retreat. “I will remain here and endure.”
Milland raised his lowered sword. The force emanating from the blade became a blue torch and began to push away the darkness. He was a clerk with a burning soul.
“Commander… .”
“I lived long enough and achieved a lot. It would be a shame for you and the others to die here. “Your time has not yet come.”
This person smiles even though he knows it will be the last time. I didn’t want to let the stubborn commander who had focused on only one thing his whole life go like this.
“It’s impossible to do it alone.”
Raon stayed next to Milland and raised his sword. He created a cartoon ball, resonating the ring of fire. The flowers blooming on the silver blade were in full bloom, creating a light that burned the darkness.
Quaaaaa!
Light like fire rising from the two blades began to split the darkness.
“This… .”
“Yes, Commander! Raon!”
“You two are pushing back the darkness!”
People who had fallen and clutched their chests woke up in the auspicious heat.
“Everyone get out of the castle! “This is the commander’s order!”
Raon radiated stronger light and shouted Milland’s instructions.
“Well, what… .”
“Go, you can’t go!”
“We will… until the end.” .”
“Why are you interfering with a topic you can’t even stand up for! “Go away quickly!”
Milland looked ahead and screamed, rough breathing coming out of the corner of his mouth. Only you who are right next to you can see it. The vitality was draining from his face.
“Well, we… .”
“I’m backing off! Everyone, get up and go down the castle wall! Open the south gate!”
Therian went down the castle wall, biting his lip until it bled. It may have been harder for him than anyone else, but he knew Milland’s heart better than anyone else.
“Do, master!”
Dorian shouted “Master” for the first time since he came here.
“Dorian. Go first. I’ll be going soon too. “Go first!”
“Are you really going to come?”
“Do I look like someone who will die here?”
“Oh, I understand! You must come! “If you don’t come, I will kill you!”
He raised his clenched fist and helped the scouts down the castle wall. Even though he always said he was dying, he was trustworthy at times like this.
Even when told to go, the soldiers could not easily leave. He kept turning around and looking at his and Milland’s backs.
“Now you go too. “Anything more than this is impossible!”
Milland pushed his shoulder, his pale lips trembling.
“I’ll hold on just a little longer!”
Raon strengthened his cramping fingers and shook his head. He said he had a feeling he should leave now, but he didn’t want to go.
-It’s already late.
At the same time as Lars’s blunt voice, the pressure pressing down on my whole body became stronger.
“I’m cold and sleepy… . Because of you… . I’ve come this far… .”
The string of my mind was almost broken for a moment by the enormous energy wave emitted by the sloth close to the castle wall. The Auror’s barely made torch wavered like a candle in the wind.
Coo coo coo coo!
As the pressure gradually became stronger, the cartoon ball’s fire finally went out first.
“Ugh… .”
Raon knelt down as if his legs were going to break. Now he can’t even raise his head. The pressure was such that even the organs would be torn apart.
“Kaaaa!”
It seemed like Milland wouldn’t be able to hold out for long either. His legs trembled like aspen trees.
“Huh!”
“Ugh!”
“Again, again!”
As the two lost their momentum, the retreating soldiers began to fall to the ground again.
– Didn’t I tell you? You only have two choices. Now you decide. Are you going to die? Or will you hand yourself over to the main king?
‘two… .’
Raon shook his head as he watched Milland endure until the end. We must not give in to Lars’ temptation. In situations like this, he had to keep his head calm.
I heard a lot of information.
Although it is full of the smell of death, it does not feel like the path to birth is clogged like in my previous life.
If we combine the information we obtained from Ras, we may be able to save them. He wanted to save his comrades who believed in him for the first time.
cold. I’m sleepy. A similar strongman. hour. Annoying, simple.
Raon quickly put together the information he heard from Lars in his head. At this moment, his head was moving more intelligently than ever.
The words, which were spinning like beads in a barrel, organically interlocked to come up with a single answer.
‘If this is… .’
It’s a gamble, but you can save everyone and even make a profit. However, I needed help with this gamble.
‘Las.’
-Have you decided? In the end, I decided to sacrifice myself… .
‘Let’s make a deal.’
-what? transaction?
‘I will receive your wrath, so please allow me to stand in front of that ignorant devil bastard.’
Raon looked at Lars with eyes filled with confidence.
-What are you trying to do with such a useless thing?
‘You said it? There are only two ways for me to live. This is a different way from that.’
-It doesn’t even sound like a horse! Even if you could stand in front of Sloth, what difference would it make?
‘It’s different. So, I will do it or not!’
-There is no benefit. Anyway, your body will end up in the hands of the king.
‘No, it’s not coming in.’
I shook my head resolutely.
‘Even if I die, I will not hand myself over to you.’
-Bullshit!
‘If you’ve seen it so far, you’ll understand, right? Just as you don’t lie, I don’t bluff either.’
-Raon Sieghardt… .
Lars ground his teeth as if he was crushing a bone.
‘Even if they hand themselves over to you, these people will die. ‘Then I will die here too.’
Raon put down the sword he was holding until the end. The sword fell to the floor with a clanging sound.
-Hey, you guy!
Lars’ eyes shake for the first time. It was proof that he was embarrassed.
‘If my method doesn’t work, I’ll hand it over to you right away. ‘I promise.’
-Keuuuugh!
The bastard gritted his teeth as he looked back and forth between Sloth, who was almost at the castle wall, and himself.
“Keueuuuuu!”
Milland collapsed first before Lars could make a decision. In this brief moment, he fell to the floor with a face that made him look like he had aged 20 years, and he could only breathe heavily. He is a respectable person, holding a sword while fainting.
Quaaaaa!
When he fell, the pressure felt like the sky was falling down, pressing down on his entire body. His shoulder blade was broken and his organs seemed to explode.
‘Las!’
– Damn it! This price will be high
Vitality begins to fill my body, which had lost all strength. It was the energy that Ras passed on. The anger he received in return seeped into the depths of his soul along with him.
“Whoa… .”
But Lars didn’t give much energy. His strength is such that he can barely survive without using all his strength.
‘It looks like a moth.’
Raon gritted his teeth and resonated with the ring of fire, and Manhwagong used it to release Glacia. She stood up, recalling her past life.
Bones and muscles scream, heart and lungs are crushed. I gritted my teeth until they broke.
‘Keuuuu!’
Overcoming the fear that weighed down my soul and the pressure that crushed my body, I stood on the wall with my own two legs.
Quaaaaa!
Eventually, I made eye contact with Sloth who arrived at the castle wall. A small look appeared in the Demon God’s eyes, which were filled with only her annoyance.
it’s okay.
I was convinced by the look in my eyes just now. This situation can be exploited.
“King of sloth. “You must have felt it, right?”
Raon twisted his bleeding lips.
“I am a vessel of anger that serves Lord Ras.”
-Boo, a vessel of anger? Why are you a vessel of anger? What are you trying to do!
‘What do you ask?’
The black guy is trampling on you and catching the second bully.
