Episode 224

“Ray… … .”
The bond of consciousness that connected them was broken, and the bloody orb left in the blue tower’s room muttered weakly.
The blue curtain, Arachne, remains silent.
Marquis Yuris, the Bloody Duke, turned his head towards Arachne.
“I’m truly sorry, Yuris.”
“… … .”
“The last mercy I can bestow upon you is to let you escape from this place alive and well.”
“Do you intend to remain a rider of lies and shadows and submit until the end?”
“Do you want to know why I serve the Shadow Lord?”
“… … I don’t really want to know.”
Marquis Yuris shook his head coldly.
“The war will begin, and in that war we will now be enemies.”
The blue-haired squire smiled sadly, and Marquis Yuris remained silent. For the first time, his shoulders were faintly shaking.
“The Shadow Lord is right.”
“What do you mean?”
“I was nothing more than a third-rate villain.”
As he said that, the bloody ball started laughing. He was giggling like a crazy person. After making exaggerated gestures like a third-rate actor, the laughter suddenly disappeared.
“And that’s the end of the petty villain play.”
Bloody Ball spoke with an expression devoid of even a shred of emotion.
“I ask you one last time. Will you betray the shadows and lies and fight with me?”
“Unfortunately, that is not possible.”
Arachne spoke, and the Blood Lord nodded. At the same time, bloody letters began to be carved into his body.
“Then, as your lord said, there is no reason for you to step back like a third-rate villain and wait for the future.”
“Oh my god.”
“I won’t tell you any nonsense about us becoming enemies when we meet again.”
The continent’s greatest red magician began accelerating his eight circles once again, in order to eliminate the blue magic tower in front of him with all his might.
But that was just then.
“Unfortunately, we don’t even see each other now.”
“Do you think I’ll be fooled by your nonsense?”
“The fact that we will be enemies when we see each other again is also a story of when we will see each other again.”
Arachne laughed happily.
“… … !”
At that very moment, the scenery of the area where the bloody ball was standing disappeared.
Bloody Ball, Marquis Yuris stood on an empty ground. And to those who did not know, he must have looked like a madman muttering to himself in the air just now.
The northern part of the empire, the land of ice. The blue magic tower he thought was there was not there. There was no tower anywhere.
A cold wind blew across the empty land.
* * *
At that hour of dawn, in the bedroom of the Duke of Saxony’s castle.
As a spy of the Blue Tower, the important thing is to never realize that you are a spy.
Furthermore, even the rulers of the Blue Tower were no exception to this rule.
“ah…….”
Elena, the wife of the Duke of Saxony, woke up with a start. Her beloved was sleeping beside her.
“What’s wrong, Elena?”
“For a moment… I had a nightmare.”
Soon Elena smiled as if nothing had happened. The Duke of Saxony reached out and wrapped his arms around her neck, looking concerned.
Nothing would change. There was a lovely man lying beside her, and her son was a ‘black prince’ who was incomparable to any in the empire.
“I had a dream about my son.”
“Was it a nightmare?”
“yes.”
The master of lies and deceit, the Blue Tower’s loyalty to the Shadow Lord was easier to understand than you might think.
There was no such thing as a blue tower from the beginning. No, strictly speaking, it existed, but it was never something with a form or substance.
In the first place, there was no such thing as Arachne weaving a spider web in the damp room of the Blue Tower.
Even the Blue Tower was not a real thing, because nothing had been built on that land to begin with.
When children of noble families learn the magic of the Blue Tower, blue teachers always appear at a good time. However, even these teachers can never be called blue magicians in the true sense of the word.
After all, they are nothing more than puppets that move according to their will, like Sepia.
The true nature of the Blue Tower existed only in their minds.
Only when the Sorceress Council, including the Blue Tower Lord, defines itself as the Blue Tower, can the Blue Tower exist.
A being that exists everywhere and nowhere.
But now, in this place, blue was clearly present.
“Don’t worry about Dale.”
“Haha, that’s right. There’s nothing more foolish than worrying about your son.”
Elena smiled as she said that.
Dale of Saxony, her beloved son. A mother’s love for her son does not change, even if the child points a sharp blade at her.
From the moment the child was born, he was destined to become the Lord of Shadows.
Elena, the blue-haired princess, buried her head in the chest of the Duke of Saxony.
“He is our son, whom we are truly proud of and love.”

As a child who will one day inherit the dark and death, lies and conspiracy of the Black Blue.
And the child was finally beginning to truly break free from his mother’s embrace.
As a mother, it was something to be celebrated, but at the same time, it was also something very bitter.
* * *
After Ray Uris died, the Book of Cold Ashes embedded in his heart went berserk and revealed its true nature.
However, what also fueled the grimoire’s rampage was Dale’s magical power, which had awakened the 6th circle.
The grimoire itself is a vessel that contains the wizard’s thoughts. It is not so strange that a being that should have died long ago appears as an incarnation of the grimoire.
That is not the real Demon King, but rather the essence of his thoughts that he left behind.
That is why its value can never be belittled.
The existence of a wizard is determined solely by consciousness, and the Grimoire is the product of that consciousness and the very genes of the devil.
The King of Ashes raised his head. It was undoubtedly the Demon King Balor.
The cold lord of ash who rules over a world of blazing ashes.
“Why did you wake me, you foolish man?”
“Do you want to fall into eternal sleep again like this?”
Dale asked back. At the same time, an aura swirled within him, and the sword’s form revealed itself.
A black knight wearing the armor of a night crow knight. However, it is not like the Demon King would not know what is hidden inside.
The world of ash began to shake madly and seemed to be filled with hostility as if it would blow him away at any moment.
“The warrior of the other world… … .”
“Yeah, now you remember the old days a little bit?”
Dale immediately grabbed the hilt of the Peacemaker’s sword. As he saw the light of peace beginning to shine from the tip of his sword, the ash of destruction began to swirl around the Demon King.
It was a storm of ash with incomparable destructive power to anything Ray Uris had ever seen.
The nickname of the King of Ashes is by no means a lie. Even the warrior did not defeat the Demon King alone. It was a hunt with countless strong men from the empire, including the former Holy Swordsman.
“You are now nothing more than a fragment of consciousness embedded in a grimoire. When my magical power supply is cut off, you will fall silent again, be sealed away, and thrown into the bottom of the church.”
“Through the eyes of this child who has me, I have seen many things.”
The Demon King said. For the warriors of the other world, death was not the end, and the Demon King was no exception. What was contained in the Book of Cold Ashes was clearly the Demon King’s consciousness and self.
“And you, you have learned the painful truth about the Shadow Lord’s existence.”
“It’s fortunate that Ray Yuris didn’t take out the incarnation of the Grimoire.”
“So you killed this poor kid?”
The Demon King sneered.
“This child is right. You are a fraud. And this poor child did not know the truth until the end, and spent his entire life struggling against the wall of talent and an inferiority complex, ending his miserable life.”
“… … .”
“The Lord of Lies is exactly what they say about you, warrior of the other world.”
The Demon King spoke. As the only being in this world who knows Dale’s true identity.
“I didn’t wake you up to talk about truth or lies or trivial things like that.”
“Then why did you wake me up?”
“The land of darkness you fled to beyond the Demon King’s territory.”
Dale opened his mouth.
“I escaped from the Saxon Eldritches there.”
“… … .”
“Wouldn’t you like to join hands with me and reclaim that land?”
The warrior from the other world asked. Only then did the world of ash spread around the Demon King begin to stir.
“I will make you the ruler of the land you deserve.”
“What do you hope to achieve by doing this?”
“We must overthrow the usurpers who are occupying that land now.”
Dale said. The old lords of Saxony, including the Immortal Frederick.
Against them, the warrior reached out to the Demon King.
“good night.”
The King of Ashes laughed coldly and shouted.
“But before that, the debt between us has not yet been settled.”
“Yeah, that’s how it should be.”
Looking at that sight, the warrior from the other world adjusted his grip on his sword.
At the same time, the world of ashes that had been still began to swirl again, creating a whirlpool of ash.

“mother!”
As soon as Elena appeared in the courtyard of the Saxon Duke’s Castle, her daughter Lise ran to her with a big smile and hugged her.
Sepia, who was beside her, smiled happily and said.
“Your daughter is growing up so fast. It’s almost as if blue magic is her nature.”
“Haha, I’m glad you said that.”
Elena laughed when she heard that.
The Sorceress of the Blue Tower, a female wizard in the story.
“Because she is the daughter of a man I am proud of.”
Elena said so, smiling quietly as she hugged her lovely daughter Lize.
“Sepia, could you please step aside for a moment?”
“All right.”
Sepia backed away without any suspicion. As she watched her back moving away, the emotion on Elena’s face disappeared for a moment. But it was only for a moment.
Elena turned her head towards Lize, and the girl’s eyes, shining innocently, were there.
“What does our Lize want to be when she grows up?”
“A great wizard like your brother!”
Lize answered Elena’s question without a moment’s hesitation. Elena smiled brightly upon hearing that.
“I too am very excited to see what kind of great wizard my daughter will become.”
