Episode 401: Alexandre (6)
The word people.
A ripple occurred in my mind.
Although he knew he shouldn’t do that, Alexandre unconsciously asked in a cautious voice.
“… … “Are you really Baek Jung-hyuk, the Heavenly Demon?”
“okay.”
“under.”
My body lost strength.
The war is not over yet.
Now was not the time to accept reality, but a situation where one had to muster up whatever little strength was left and fight back.
But Alexander couldn’t do that. My name is Baek Jung-hyuk, the Cheonma.
Alexandre held his face as if in pain at the fact that he had dared to deal with a being like a god.
‘I really was a worthless being.’
Meantime.
There were several opportunities to confirm the truth.
Even after seeing Roman Dmitry fighting, Aleksandr could not recognize the identity of the martial artist.
It was pathetic.
When the storyteller told the story of the Heavenly Demon, his eyes lit up like a child, but when he actually encountered the Heavenly Demon, he came up with a conclusion that had nothing to do with the truth, like a blind person.
The leader of the Murim Alliance, an executive-level figure of the Heavenly Demon Church, etc.
By considering absurd speculations as plausible, he proved how shabby he was.
I knew it too.
This is your level.
If he had not been born into a new environment called Alexander, his previous life would have lived normally and died normally until the moment of his death.
There is a saying, ‘Nangjungjichu (囊中之錐)’.
At a time when Baek Jung-hyuk’s presence was commanding the world through his pockets, there was a reason why Kim Pan-seok lived as an ordinary man.
Because I know that.
I was greedy.
Anxious that the wealth and wealth he always held in his hands might scatter like sand, he was constantly greedy and suffered from a burning thirst.
An insatiable life originated from a past life.
If he had been satisfied with his position as emperor and the reputation as the founder of Aura, the devil’s whispers would not have brought him down.
I raised my head.
Under the blue sky, Roman Dmitry’s presence overwhelmed him.
‘I may have wanted to become like Baek Jung-hyuk, the Heavenly Demon.’
Current life.
I hoped it would be different from my previous life.
Just as Baek Jung-hyuk took people’s cheers for granted, I also hoped to be like Baek Jung-hyuk.
I thought that in a new world, I might be able to create the reality that I only imagined every day.
At least in the days when he was called the founder of Aura, Alexander fell into such illusions and swung his sword until his hands were stained with blood.
Baek Jung-hyuk, the Heavenly Demon.
That’s what it meant to Alexander.
He was a being of dreams, an object of admiration, and what he truly wanted was not to simply conquer the continent, but to command the world with a single sword like Baek Jung-hyuk.
I didn’t know what to do as my mind became more complicated.
Alexandre, who was lost, was unable to say anything and looked up at Roman Dmitry in silence.
‘… … ‘Is it impossible to live for the person I admire even now?’
already.
late.
His soul was owned by the devil, and he committed so many incidents that his relationship with Roman Dmitri could not be reversed.
I would have felt better if I didn’t know the truth.
If he had been a martial arts expert whose name was only vaguely known, Alexandre would not have shown such a shabby appearance, swayed by emotional turmoil.
My lips trembled.
With difficulty, Alexandre opened his mouth.
“We are already late.”
That moment.
Flash.
Roman Dmitry cut off Alexander’s head.
* * *
Alexander’s body died.
but.
The spirit was alive.
Because part of his soul belonged to the Demon King, Alexandre visited the Demon King in the state of his soul.
“Demon King. Please save me. There is a reason why we lost this time. “If you give me one last chance, I will fully explain the reasons for our defeat and come up with new measures.”
The moment of death.
I accepted reality.
Baek Jung-hyuk, the Heavenly Demon, became Roman Dmitry, and the tangled relationship between them was not a problem that could be resolved just by extending a hand.
In that sense, Roman Dmitry cut off his head in one fell swoop.
It meant that he would not accept Alexander’s existence, and Alexander came to his senses and focused on reality.
I still didn’t have the confidence to face the Heavenly Demon.
but.

I had to survive somehow.
Showing a strong desire for life, Alexander made a request in an earnest voice.
however.
“Alexandr. Do you know why I made you, a mere human, my servant?”
“… … I do not know.”
I raised my head.
The Demon King’s appearance was like a human.
The body may not be like that, but there was something about the wide eyes and slick black hair that caught the eye.
“The biggest reason is because you are the one causing the dimensional rift. The dimensional crack would only worsen if you were alive, and that alone was enough to make it worth using you. But there was no reason to make them servants like they are now. “The reason I accepted you was because of your inferiority complex and inability to acknowledge yourself.”
Alexander.
It was a fun existence.
In the eyes of the general public, he had already reached a position where he could be looked up to, but he did not believe in his humble origins and suffered from a sense of inferiority every day.
That stimulated the Demon King’s interest.
When the Demon King extended his devil’s hand, Alexander looked at him with an inferiority complex and hoped that he would solve his problem.
“It was a little fun. When I gave you what you wanted, it was quite nice to see you become even more anxious. however… … .”
He smiled coldly.
When the Demon King stood up, he transformed from his toes into a monster form, revealing his enormous presence.
stained with darkness.
A huge body with horns sprouting from the top of its head.
With his black hair growing like a mane and his red eyes, Aleksandr felt a pressure oppressing his body.
“Your role ends here. There is no longer any interest in you, and the boundary between the demonic world and the earthly world has already collapsed to a large extent as you live as Alexandre. Even if you don’t exist, the fairy tale of the two dimensions will come true. “In the near future, the passage to the Demon World will be completely opened.”
It was soon.
The people of the Salamander Continent will witness the world being immersed in darkness.
and.
“At that time, there is no place for you in the new world.”
* * *
With the last word.
Alexander’s soul fell into the bottomless pit.
A place that extinguishes the soul.
As soul demons began to gather around him, Alexandre crouched down and laughed.
“Damn you bastard. “In the end, you’re abandoning me.”
I expected it.
Living for the Demon King, he knew that his existence was not that important to him.
It is merely a tool that induces dimensional cracks. After achieving his goal, there was no particular reason to keep him alive.
So I hung on even more stubbornly.
I wanted to be recognized for the value of my existence.
but.
This was reality.
Looking at Alexandre, who visited him for the last time, the Demon King spoke of the reality he had been playing with like a toy.
“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Demons flocked in.
Beyond the darkness.
A red light flickered.
Alexandre curled up even more, unable to suppress the laughter that escaped his lips.
“Demon King. You shouldn’t have abandoned me like this. So that you can’t read my memories, so that if I die because I’m abandoned, all my memories will disappear at that moment. I cast a mental spell on my head. “It means that no one except me can recognize Roman Dmitry’s true identity.”
There was no one listening.
alone.
I continued to mutter.
With a crazy face, I faced the red light.
“Roman Dmitri is a being whose victory cannot be guaranteed even by you, the king of the demon world. He is a god-like being who transcends human limitations. Do you understand? What mistake did you make? “Even though I will disappear from this world, you will forever regret abandoning me for what you are about to do.”
It was then.
“Kyaak!”
“Kyakyakyaek.”
The demons rushed in.
As if a shadow was seeping in, black, shimmering demons were biting into Alexandre’s body.
To be exact, it was a soul in the form of a physical body.
Despite the pain of being torn apart, Alexander laughed like a crazy person.
I got lost in my imagination.
Like the time when I dreamed of commanding the martial arts world.
Unlike the reality where his body was torn apart, in his imagination, Alexandre existed as Baek Jung-hyeok, the Heavenly Demon.
It was fantastic.
Because I saw the real thing, my imagination became clearer.
Current life.
I suffered from an inferiority complex every time.
And now that he had met someone he had no choice but to admit, ironically, he felt a complete sense of liberation.
Crack.
Quad deuk.
Demons that bite without hesitation.
like that.
Alexander slowly, very slowly fell into the abyss.
* * *
That time.
Cairo was in a festive mood.
It was a complete victory.
When the Kronos Empire was defeated, people praised Roman Dmitri and cheered for victory.
Emperor Alexander.
He is dead.
Roman Dmitry was victorious, and the people felt that the war, which had been pushed to the brink, had turned around.
That afternoon.
A meeting was convened.
The leaders present in the conference room all showed flushed expressions.
“Thanks to Roman Dmitry’s handling of Alexander, we were able to easily deal with the enemies who had lost their will to fight. It is truly a great victory. “In this battle, while our troops suffered little damage, the enemies were completely destroyed.”
“This opportunity cannot end like this. This is Emperor Alexander. The fact that the ghosts of the past, who should have died long ago, are alive is clear evidence that the Kronos Empire has dabbled in black magic. We must pressure the Kronos Empire based on that fact from now on. “If their mistakes are revealed to the world, the Valhalla Empire will inevitably lose its justification for helping the Kronos Empire.”
Alexander used black magic.
People clearly witnessed the raising of the dead, and it was a very serious problem that could not be ignored.
According to the continent’s laws, the entire continent had to work together to punish those who invaded forbidden territory.
For the Valhalla Empire, as explained just now, there is no justification for participating in this war.
Cairo’s leadership said:
“you’re right. If you conclude a truce, you can take advantage of Alexander’s presence and the use of black magic. Just give me an order. “I will send a messenger immediately and inform you of our intention to unite the kingdoms.”
All the leaders.
I saw Roman Dmitry.
The decision was his.
If he says he understands, this war will end like this.
however.
“No, we will continue the war.”
“… … Are you saying you will see the end?”
everyone.
He reacted in confusion.
The war is not over yet.
In order to deal with the remaining forces of Kronos and Valhalla, he would have to prepare for enormous damage, but he could not readily accept that he would go to the end.
Haven’t we already taken an advantageous position?
If we successfully negotiate a truce, we can create a safe future by putting shackles on the ankles of the Kronos Empire.
It was an easy road.
There was no need to go the difficult route.
Roman Dmitry said.
“It doesn’t matter whether Kronos used the power of darkness or not. We have already vaguely guessed the truth about Kronos for a long time. Just looking at the example of Hector’s kingdom, there was ample evidence to criticize them. But because I had no power to touch them, I could not bear to reveal the truth even when they committed all kinds of atrocities.”
“Now things are different. “If we pressure you, Kronos will have no choice but to raise a white flag.”
“I guess so. But that alone cannot compensate for the damage caused by war. “Many people have already died, and a more definitive response is needed to prevent incidents like this from happening again in the future.”
Moment.
People’s expressions changed.
The more Roman Dmitry spoke.
They felt a strange sense of tension.
It was then.
“That’s why I want to take this opportunity to destroy Kronos and Valhalla and conquer the Salamander Continent.”
Conquest of the continent.
I got goosebumps.
An area that criminals would not even dare to think about.
All of the leaders present in the conference room were in great shock.
