Episode 43. < His time. (4) >
—————==
6.
In order to break through the 12th floor, almost a thousand deaths were needed.
On the 13th floor, less death would be needed.
‘Geomje nobleman.’
-why?
‘Let’s make a bet.’
-What bet?
I blew off the head of the zombie that rushed at me first. Suddenly! The zombie’s neck, which was already rotting, was sliced like soft tofu by my blade. I spoke to the dozens, hundreds, and thousands of zombies that were fiercely charging at me.
‘How many times will I die to push it to the 19th floor? Let’s bet.’
-hmm.
Bae Hu-ryeong stroked his chin.
-okay. I bet on 100 or less!
I grinned.
‘Then I’ll bet on numbers below 99.’
-Wow, you pathetic bastard. Do you want to be petty like that? ok?
‘yes. ‘I’d like to.’
Bae Hu-ryeong sighed.
-OK. Let’s watch a zombie kid kill his own people. Good luck! Instead, since a bet is a bet, I won’t help you this time. call?
‘call.’
I laughed as I looked at the endless crowd of zombies.

“Aww, first of all, what should I do with this quantity… . Witch, how can it not be better?”
“I’m still doing my best. I’m the only one with a wide area here. But it’s difficult. Rather, Death King, can’t you use your skills to launch a counterattack?”
“Oh, of course I should use that too. But now the cooldown is not over… “I can probably use it after 3 coins.”
“What is 3 coins?”
“There is such a thing. Well, anyway… Oh, by any chance is this on the minimap… . ah! Sword Saint! Could you please drill a hole in there!? That big lid that looks like a sarcophagus over there! “I have something to check!”
“What are you checking?”
“I’ll explain later, so let’s ask for something first! That prophet! okay!?”
“Uhm…”
[You are dead.]
[Returns to 24 hours ago.]
“Okay! Sword Saint! The sarcophagus is actually a secret passage. And underneath there is a hammer with an undead special effect! “Please go with Mr. Witch and pick it up and use it!”
“This person is walking a single path in life with only one sword…”
“That has a wide area effect! If you load it with an auror and hit it on the floor, the floor will be spread and all the zombies will be swept away! okay!?”
“How do you know that?”
“That prophet! okay!?”
“No, I want…”
[You are dead.]
[Returns to 24 hours ago.]
“The zombies have been roughly sorted out with this, and now the Demon Lord, ah, what is that again?”
“You’re a zombie. It’s a giant. So this person thinks it might be a zombie giant.”
“Uhm. This temple looks like it has a long history, so maybe it’s like a giant god soldier that protected this temple. That’s because he was attacked by the Demon King and became his subordinate… I guess that’s something like that. If the Heretic Questioner were here, I think he would have looked into it in more detail…”
“and. Does that person know about other world religions? “I’m not an SSS-level religious person for nothing.”
“Skill sucks.”
“That’s proof of SSS level, right?”
“It’s unpleasant. Do I really need to bring up the story of that guy who couldn’t get it back? Anyway, this person will take charge of that giant.”
“Yes, Sword Saint. please!”
[You are dead.]
[Returns to 24 hours ago.]
“Anyway, this person will take charge of that giant.”
“No, Sword Saint. Sword Saint, please keep the zombies in check with the floor mat.”
“Look, that giant is testing this man’s sword…”
“That prophet! That prophet! okay?”
“No, really… Huh, then who is going to deal with that giant?”
“Of course you are a witch. “Please use the beam to match that zombie giant’s eyes.”
“Not yet. It was eyes that I wanted to match. “Having one big eye is no different than tempting you to match.”
“It’s perfect! let’s go!”
[You are dead.]

“Anyway, that giant is this guy,”
“Summon a hundred ghosts!”
“oh my god. Death King. “That skill of yours doesn’t even have a cooldown?”
“There are some things like that… Now, the two of you can deal with the giant. Especially witch. “I just want to ask you one thing.”
“What is it?”
“Don’t make eye contact.”
“why?”
“Then you’ll be in big trouble.”
“But Death King. I want to see that one-eyed giant zombie. Look at those big eyes. see?”
“yes… I’m watching. I know that’s the eye color I really want to match, right? But I can’t.”
“why? Those eyes… Death King… If you can use beams like me, but if you see a giant with eyes like that…”
“I admit it… Witch. Even if I were a witch, if I were told not to make eye contact with her, I would argue with her like crazy. I don’t have time to explain why right now… please. yes?”
“Ugh…”
“For now, just follow what that friend says. witch.”
“Sword Saint, even you…”
“That young fellow says he is a prophet. “Just follow along for now.”
“······okay. “I will do my best not to hit you in the eye.”
“thank you!!”
we ran fought. They saved each other.
acted.
A lot was said.
-My children…!
The zombies staying in the temple were destroyed.
-My general…!
When this temple functioned as a shield for the mountain range, it defeated a one-eyed giant who must have existed in legend.
-Ah ah ah ah ah······!
[The Demon King of Autumn Rain decides to retreat.]
and,
[The Demon King of Autumn Rain retreats to the 14th floor!]
Once again, we pushed the Demon King to the next layer.
Just like on the 12th floor, droplets of light flew.
The temple located in the middle of the border dividing the continent was shining like a freshly polished shield.
A hymn rang out along with the bell. Merchants from the east passed by on horseback, while those from the west rode on strange birds that walked on two legs, greeting them. The paladins engaged in sparring with their hammers, and the orphans left in the temple glanced at the merchants with admiration and at the paladins with admiration, before being caught by the ears and dragged to the chapel by the priests.
And from a position with a clear view of the temple, the one-eyed giant sitting on the ridge as a chair had a bored expression on his face. Occasionally, when a cloud resembling wool passed by his head, he would sneeze, his big eyes twitching.
“The mountain god sneezed!”
Instead of fear, the orphan’s face was filled with laughter. The priest grabbed the orphan’s head to warn him, and then looked deeply at the one-eyed giant.
The one-eyed giant grinned and waved his hand at the priest.
iced coffee.
“Death King.”
hmm.
“Yes… witch. Let’s go. “Well, Sword Saint, are you ready?”
“Wait a moment. “That merchant over there sells good whetstones.”
Geomseong bought the whetstone. While he was sharpening his knife, I turned my gaze away from the giant and looked at the world map.
The red land that had fallen off in one part was writhing as if it would come back at any moment.
Nevertheless, the swordsman still had time to sharpen his sword on the whetstone.
That is enough.
“Death King.”
The witch took my hand. After finishing sharpening her sword, the Sword Saint immediately grabbed the witch’s hand.
“send.”
Light enveloped us again.
“hmm. Is the 14th floor a forest? The Demon King… seems to have gone into hiding.”
“be careful. “I can feel the hostility everywhere.”
“Iknow, right. “Let’s go slowly, slowly.”

History returns.
Before the Demon King’s army invaded the empire.
Before they invaded not only the empire but also many countries.
Before the temple called the Goddess’ Shield was destroyed.
Before the fairy forest was cursed, before the waterfall flowed backwards, before the volcano erupted.
Previously, previously.
Still, in the era before the Demon King reigned as the absolute lord of evil.
fleetingly.
It’s as if a wave is covered by another wave and disappears into a drop of foam.
Like flower petals falling.
Each time I climbed the tower, the Demon King’s territory became narrower, and each time I climbed the tower, the Demon King’s power became weaker.
[The presence of the Demon King of Autumn Rain becomes blurred.]
Just as the Demon King on the 13th floor was weaker than the Demon King on the 12th floor,
The Demon King on the 14th floor was weaker than the Demon King on the 13th floor.
The Demon King on the 15th floor is worse than the Demon King on the 14th floor.
So much more. A little more. Little by little more…

-You!
Ninety-seven times.
The 19th floor, where I reached the end of my 97th death, was an unknown outskirt of a small, nameless country.
-You!
The demon king cried out in that desolate land.
Neither a sword saint nor a witch.
The person the devil was glaring at while gritting his teeth was me.
-If it weren’t for you!
Eyes bloodshot and red with anger.
-It’s because of you! It’s all your fault! Straightforward procedures… That’s right! If it weren’t for you, this wouldn’t have happened! dare! A swordsman from another world…
I drew my sword.
“Yah. “I can finally see some snow.”
-what···?
“Literally. “I came all the way here to see what your eyeballs look like.”
okay.
Originally, the Demon King of Autumn Rain had no eyes.
The Demon King was a flaccid shadow. There was a face, but no expression. He had arms, but no hands. Old junk. Because my entire body was covered in black fluid that was constantly bubbling.
It was like that.
“Does that make sense?”
The devil’s mask was finally broken.
“The devil and the hero can’t even make eye contact. “It’s truly an unbelievable tragedy.”
The part that was not covered by the old waste finally appeared. Red, bloodshot eyes. Even though he was pouring out harsh and murderous words… I wasn’t afraid of those gazes. On the contrary, I was glad.
I aimed the tip of my sword at the Demon King.
“Fight with all your might.”
-this guy···.
“Or run away again. Hey, aren’t you curious? “If I run away this time, how much weaker will I become?”
-······.
“If we don’t attack with all our might now, we won’t be able to win. you.”
Even excluding the rewards you will receive from clearing the 19th floor, the Demon King on the 20th floor will ultimately be infinitely weaker.
-What you have to say… how dare you. What do you know about the hyena that ate my flesh…
A growling sound like a curse.
A lost and wandering shadow was there.
I slowly opened my mouth.
“Esther.”
Stop.
The Demon King’s red eyes widened.
“I warned you to attack with all your might.”
-······.
“Otherwise.”
And I left my seat.
A scream broke out.
Black fluid splattered out.
“My time will be longer than your history.”
I glared at the demon lord, Esther, while listening to her screams.

Toward the path I will take.
