Episode 85 < The mind of the reader. (1) >

I held Master for a long time.
Even when breath ceases, the human body remains.
So death was harsh and cruel.
“Big man.”
After a while, I heard a voice calling me. Soldiers in black uniforms and elites of the Demonic Cult came and surrounded me.
Even while I was holding Master in silence, the battle between demons and demons continued. In the end, the Demon Cult won.
“It was in the middle of a fight, so there was no panic. “Several church members overheard the religious leader calling the great man a [disciple].”
The warrior asked with a nervous expression.
“Is it possible that the great man inherited his ancestral lineage from the Heavenly Demon?”
“…….”
I looked around.
All the church members who survived Daejeon looked at me. There are also demons whom Master refers to as the Four Demon Lords. One of them had a bloody nose, a torn lip, and a cut arm. Everyone was soaked in blood, and everyone held their breath as they waited for me to speak.
“… “I don’t know if I inherited the traditional lineage.”
“Didn’t the religious leader take a great person as his disciple?”
“That’s right.”
I held Master’s cold body a little closer.
“I am your disciple.”
“…….”
The unmanned person’s face became even more rigid.
“If it is true that the sect leader brought in Jeokjeon disciples, he would definitely have taught the Demon Heavenly Art. I ask you at the risk of being rude. Adult. Please demonstrate one part of the Macheon Shinkong in front of us.”
The tone was polite, but it said things like, “It’s hard to believe that you are really Heavenly Demon’s disciple, so please show me the proof.”
‘Just because you are the master’s disciple, you are treated as a successor.’
Realized. Why was Master so hesitant to take me on as a disciple? Becoming a true disciple of the Heavenly Demon meant inheriting the true lineage of the Demonic Cult.
Now that Master has withdrawn his last warmth from this world. I had the teachings of the Demonic Religion.
“… great. Would it be enough to unleash the Asayu Sword?”
“yes. The religious leader often said, “If you fall short, you will not be recognized as my successor.” “We are just unknown swordsmen, but we have the talent to judge the swordsmanship of great men by observing them.”
Other church members were whispering around.
“hey. “What is that blood demon talking about?”
“Don’t you even understand that? “If you look at the first method of Demon Heavenly Art, you can tell whether or not you are Heavenly Demon’s disciple.”
“okay? “But why is that guy representing us?”
“Out of all of us, you are the one who knows how to be polite. He’s from Moronga. “Even though he is an illegitimate child.”
“what? “Was that bastard one of those bastards?”
“no. Why are you surprised as if this is your first time hearing it? This has been said dozens of times in the past… … That’s it. A river is a river, a mountain is a mountain, and no matter what you tell a stone head, a stone is still a stone.”
“what are you talking about?”
“They say that your very existence is a cancer comparable to the poisonous power of the four heavenly temples. Sword Demon. As proof of this, I am currently suffering from ongoing cancer. “Considering that I have mastered the ability to kill a thousand poisons, you are truly an amazing being.”
“oh? “Is this a compliment?”
“f*cking stone-headed bastard.”
“Hmm.”
The martial artist cleared his throat. And then he widened his eyes at the church members whispering behind him. Eyes full of majesty. It seemed like an unspoken pressure to keep quiet.
However, the Sword Demon and the Ghost Flame Demon tilted their heads.
“What are you looking at? Do you want to play a game?”
“This is unlucky. Let’s look somewhere else. “I feel bad inside.”
“…….”
The unmanned person turned his head and looked at me. The look in his eyes seemed to be saying, “Nothing happened just now.”
“aha.”
I laughed a little.
‘okay. It must have been like this in the first place.’
A magic school is a place where uneducated people entrust themselves. My teacher was just an orphan. It was natural that most church members were blind to etiquette.
“Because hunger is—.”
I didn’t pull out the knife. I didn’t want to swing the blade while holding my teacher’s body. He simply gestured with an aura in his left hand.
The blow was carved into the snow.
“—Children waiting for sunlight.”
I flinch.
The uninhabited island that came out on behalf of the church members, and even the church members who had been whispering remained silent. In the snow field where my sword strike struck, a deep valley was carved out like someone’s wound.
I did not end with presenting the first meal. 2 meals. 3 meals. 4 meals. I spread all the basic knowledge I had learned to my fingertips.
The surroundings became quiet.
Was it thanks to a glimpse of the bloody battle between Master and Bae Hu-ryeong? Suddenly, the power of each blow became sharper than before. This was also Master’s arrangement.
“The remaining herbivores haven’t really woken up yet. “It’s embarrassing to show.”
“Will it be like this?”
Bus luck!
The warrior knelt down on the snow.
“I meet the enemy of the world of magic. “New Heaven.”
Afterwards, the Ghost Flame Demon, the Wolyeong Demon Lord, and the Sword Demon bowed down one after another. Bus rock, crunchy. The snow crunched against their knees. All of the church members who survived the Great Demon War soon fell face down on the snowy field.
“See you, the enemy of the world of magic! “Our religious leader!”
I opened my mouth slowly.
“The title of Heavenly Demon is excessive. “I already have the nickname Death King, and I want your nickname to remain in your name forever.”

“If you come… … ”
“Even being called a religious leader is a burden.”
I turned my head. Across from her, Bae Hu-ryeong was quietly closing his eyes with his arms crossed around her. She is probably replaying the dance she shared with her teacher in her head. I looked at Bae Hu-ryeong’s face and then spoke to the church members.
“I still lack a lot. How can I call you a religious leader when I have nothing to teach you? “It’s just a name for the sake of a name.”
The unmanned person made an embarrassed expression.
“… During his lifetime, Heavenly Demon has never been wrong in choosing people. Since he has brought in a number of disciples, a great man will certainly be suitable for the position of leader.”
“thank you. However, in my judgment, as I am worthy of the position of religious leader, I am still not good enough to carry on the tradition of the former demonic religion.”
The church members murmured.
“Well, then we are at a loss as to what to call the great man! I can’t even call him a great person… .”
“Sujiaoju.”
Someone suddenly said.
“Wouldn’t it be okay if I called you Little Teacher?”
It was a ghost horse. A member of the church who offered to give up three moves to a Shaolin monk. His broken nose had not completely healed, and traces of dried nosebleeds remained on his philtrum.
“In Gangho, it is common to say ‘Sogongja’ or ‘Sogaju.’ “If you are saying that it is still burdensome to become the head of a religious sect, and you are not refusing the position altogether, then it is okay to call him a small religious leader and honor him.”
“hmm.”
I nodded. I think that’s acceptable.
“yes. Please do so.”
The church members breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at me with a more relaxed expression.
“Master Xiao. I would like to formally thank you. We have no idea what kind of magical magic he was using, but we all remember that we were bitten by a jiangshi. If it weren’t for Lord Xiaojiao, it would have been impossible to conclude the Great Demon War or offer loyalty to the Heavenly Demon!”
The military took over.
“The top rank of the Demonic Cult’s Sima Army. Blood demon. Under my command, all members of the Blood Demon Corps. “I pledge to be loyal to Lord Xiaojiao.”
Dozens of church members followed him and took up arms.
“The top rank of the Demonic Cult’s Demon Army. I’m sorry. All of the members under his command. “I pledge my allegiance to Lord Xiaojiao.”
“Sama-kun first rank. Wolyeong Demon Lord. “Under my command, everyone in the city command will be loyal to Lord Xiao Jyo.”
“Sword! “Under my command, I pledge my allegiance to the assassination squad.”
Dozens again.
“…….”
I slowly put down Master.
Master, like a flower blooming in a snowy field, suited the white snowy field well.
I took control of the church members over a single peony leaf.
“Ah (I) wish. As long as my life does not end, the Doctrine of Shadows will be immortal.”
It was that moment.
[Stage cleared.]
[Quest, ‘Remake the World Volume 1’ cleared!]
How long has it been since I last heard that voice?
[Today, the 22nd floor stage was cleared.]
[Notify everyone again.]
[Today, the 22nd floor stage was cleared.]
It felt like it had been a really long time since I heard this.
[Measuring the number of people targeted.]
[Measurement ends.]
I spoke without loosening my grip.
“I will ask you all to attend Master’s funeral.”
[We announce the 4 attackers.]
The snowy mountain split into two at the gesture of Master’s hand.
Letters were engraved in the sky above the mountain peak.

“Don’t have a fancy funeral. Master wouldn’t want it. Master will be happy if you just stay until the end of the funeral. Please, Master—.”
please. I didn’t say the next words.
There was no need to move it, and it could not be moved.
When I blinked, my body was no longer in the snowy field.
“Welcome. “Death King.”
The great library of all things.
“I’ve been waiting anxiously for every day!”
The Constellation and Librarian looked at me with a smile.
2.
“congratulations!”
The Librarian was floating in the air.
The sleeves of my 5-meter-long suit were as flaccid as a goldfish’s fin.
“hmm. The last word in [The Annals of the Heavenly Demon] ends with ‘please’. hmm. The word ‘please’ means a wish for someone. Invocation, prayer. In demonic religions, it is memorized as ‘Baraya’. ‘Please’ and ‘Baraya’ can be seen as the same word. In that sense, it’s a very appropriate ending… … ”
“Wait.”
I cut off the librarian’s tirade halfway through.
I felt [a sense of discomfort].
This is my second time coming to the Great Library. There were times when I stayed up all night reading. I’ve become quite familiar with this place.
However, the difference from last time caught my eye very clearly.
“… Why are all the other hunters fainted?”
Hunters who participated in the Apocalypse Strategy.
All 250 hunters with tinnitus were lying on the ground.
“Hmm.”
The Librarian raised his eyebrows.
“Don’t worry. “She just put me to sleep for a little while.”
“I put him to sleep… ?”
“yes. “I burned incense that was harmless to the human body.”
The Librarian stretched out his hand. Dozens of books were floating around the constellation. One of them was titled [Story of Yeonhyang City].
“There are many worlds like yours where we communicate through words, but there is another world where we communicate through songs, and there is a world where we communicate through scents. In this apocalypse, people talk about the scent of anger, the scent of sadness, and the scent of joy.”
“…….”
“Of course, it also has a sleeping scent.”
I was nervous and on guard.
“Oh, please don’t look at me like that. “The director wanted to talk to Death King, so he kept the surroundings quiet for a while.”
story.
“What are you going to say about knocking out my colleagues?”
“Ah, [colleague]. Of course, Death King! You may think of them as annoying and useless burdens, but they think of them as colleagues as if it were natural. “The director has no choice but to shed tears once again at Death King’s kind heart.”
“…….”
“From here, Death King and his group’s every move was visible. Like a movie. It was a crucible of emotion. really. “The people here must have welcomed Death King warmly.”
The Librarian chuckled.
“But if we leave it as is, won’t the director be able to talk to Death King only after a while has passed? “Your turn will be delayed for a long time.” The Librarian shrugged his shoulders.
“I had no choice but to calm people down for a moment to allow for dialogue. Don’t worry. Even though it was like this, we used the most moderate means to put it to rest.”
It was hard to believe it.
I looked around quickly. I saw the appearance of a witch. She was leaning against her bookshelf, her long hair hanging down. She approached the witch and she lightly took her pulse.
Excited.
Excited.
thank god.
My complexion feels better and my breathing returns to normal.
After confirming that my colleague was safe, I looked up at the library director.
“… “If you have a story, please finish it quickly and wake people up.”
“Aren’t you in too much of a hurry? Director I would like to have a more leisurely conversation between the two of us. “I deliberately excluded the other raiders and only summoned Death King.”
“I haven’t finished work on the 22nd floor yet. There is also a sword to find… .”
“Later.”
The Librarian’s eye smile was like an upside-down half moon.
“It’s something we can explore later.”
“…….”
There was tension.
The Librarian is so small that he just looks funny. You can summon strange monsters from another world at will. Didn’t he swallow up as many as 50 hunters in an instant just last time?
‘No matter how much you have mastered the Demon Heavenly Art, if you fight now, you will inevitably lose.’
I swallowed.
“… “What do you want to talk about?”
The Librarian’s smile deepened.
“It’s a very close story.”
fluttering.
The Librarian fluttered his sleeves and landed on the floor. The library director approached me and took out something from his sleeve.
“hmm.”
It was scissors.
“Why are the scissors suddenly… ?”
“Your hair is quite long. Death King. “I’ll trim it for you.”
The Librarian stepped forward and cut off my hair. Didn’t cut much. About half the length of the back of the head? The Librarian put the cut hair into a red silk pouch.
“…….”
“My fingernails are long too. It would be a big deal if a self-proclaimed martial artist didn’t take care of his nails. “I’ll cut it for you.”
The Librarian took out another item from his pocket.
It was a nail clipper.
The Librarian grabbed my right hand and clipped my fingernails. Everything from the little fingernail to the thumbnail. Then, each nail was placed in a different silk bag.
hmm.
“Hey, Librarian?”
“yes.”
“What are we going to do with this now?”
“Death King.”
The Librarian bent down. He kneeled on the floor. And, as if it were a natural thing, I took off the shoes I was wearing.
“Say you really, really, really like someone. “It’s too much.”
“… I’ll give it a try. why?”
“There is nothing I don’t like about that person, from his toes to his head. It’s love. It’s truly the most pure love. The problem is that that person does not exist in reality, but only exists in the pages of the page and in novels. ”
The Librarian knocked my socks off.
“But, voila! What kind of harmony is this? The novel character who is my ideal type has appeared before my eyes.”
“uh….”
“Well, what do you think Death King is feeling at this time?”
The library director spoke seriously.
Holding a toenail clipper.
“yes. “It is like that.”
“…….”
“That’s it.”
What is that?
“Ah, ah! Don’t move! What are you doing! If you move, my toenail clippers might leave ugly scars on Death King’s marble toes! “Then it’s a big deal!!”
“Why are you angry at me! “Get out now!”
“for a moment! Wait! I’ll just cut off one little toenail! Just one claw! “If only I had made this much concession, that would have been enough!”
“Why is this star doing this to me?!”
“ah! ah! “If claws don’t work, you can negotiate with three eyebrows!”
It was only then that I realized the identity of [discomfort].
“You’re not usually the kind of person who uses polite language!”
Yes.
The Holy See Librarian did not use honorifics. He insisted on Haoche. He must have been like that, but now for some reason he was using the honorific term towards me. This was the essence of the sense of discomfort.
“Use Haoche as usual!”
The Librarian’s lips trembled.
“This is ridiculous! Rain, how dare a lowly creature like me be treated by Prince Light!”
crazy.
[The Corner Librarian wants your little toenails.]
That’s crazy.
‘Portrait window!’
While I was struggling not to claw at the library director, letters appeared before my eyes.
