Episode 280. Omen of disaster (3)
The number of human knights that appeared in Arem was ten.
Including Duke Berthe, who commanded them, there were a total of 11, and all of them were the best knights who had made a name for themselves in the human world.
“Reinforce: Reinforcement of power.”
When Arin appeared, the knights cast strengthening magic all at once.
Soon, as his physical abilities rose to their maximum, a bright golden aura began to appear on the sword.
“The power of the holy sword!”
Arin, who figured out the identity of the aura, frowned harshly.
Just like during the Imperial Castle, the knights who inherited the power of the Holy Sword became much more powerful than before.
“What is your reason for doing this, Duke Berthe?”
“Are you still asking why?”
The duke answered Arin’s question as if it were pathetic.
In addition, his face showed the intention that he now knew why he was doing this.
A doll-like being that simply follows given instructions without any independent will.
Questions and persuasion were meaningless to such a being.
All you have to do is block or block it.
However, the situation was not very friendly to Arin.
Has it been a couple of hours since I came to the Demon World?
Her body had not yet adapted to the environment of the demon world, and as a result, even breathing was extremely uncomfortable.
Lunav and Nana looked relatively okay, but if they were not careful, they could have been a burden instead of a help.
“The grace of the Holy Light will protect us!”
At that time, along with the spell, a white curtain unfolded in front of Arin.
It was a light attribute defense magic called ‘Wall of Resistance’.
Arin immediately turned her head towards the caster.
“First of all, I bought some time.”
In the hands of Runab, who was looking at Arin with a calm expression, the magician Remiharam radiated a vast amount of magical energy and blocked the knights’ approach.
“It won’t last very long. Until then, we must decide how to deal with those deluded knights.”
Lunav forced Arin to make a choice.
“What do you want Lunav to do?”
“Three things come to mind right away. First, we must desperately work together to stop those knights… … .”
Runab lifted the other hand that was not holding the magic book and spread out her fingers one by one.
“The second is to hold on tenaciously until senior Xian comes.”
“Si, where is Xian now?”
“I don’t know either. But I think it will come soon.”
This meant that it was purely a hunch with no clear basis.
Arin, who felt a little dizzy at this, placed her hand on her forehead.
“Then what is the third?”
“I ran away without even looking back. “As far away as possible.”
It was a very unexpected solution for Lunav.
“Actually, I think it would be best for us to choose this third option if we want to survive.”
“Uh, why?”
“Because this is not our land.”
It took Arin a moment to understand those words.
“A man who doesn’t want chaos to break out in this demon world is probably flying in right now to solve this situation… … .”
While Lunav continued speaking, an unidentifiable and uneasy energy suddenly appeared in the sky.
With such incredible vigor that the body automatically recoils.
“I think it’s already too late.”
Lunav, who recognized that the situation had worsened, immediately unleashed more magical power.
“Step back, Arin!”
Nana, too, sensed a threat and stepped forward with her eyes sharpened, and the knights facing each other also pointed their swords in the same direction.
-thud!
After a while.
Something fell at an incredible speed, like a comet falling, and immediately a heavy roar was heard, followed by a wind of dust blowing in all directions.
The moment the vision cleared, the first thing everyone saw was,
It was a red sword that gave off an incredibly ugly and impure energy that made it feel like all the evil in the world had come together.
As the eyes followed the hand holding the sword, everyone at the scene was shocked.
“… … !”
Demon King Belkarion.
The emphasis on reason had disappeared everywhere, and now only his true nature remained, and the strongest man in the demon world was revealing his true face.
* * *
A highland area about 2km away from Arem.
Five devil dragons polymorphed into humans were watching Arem’s situation through their unique physical ability ‘clairvoyance’, with Nagel at the forefront.
“The Demon King finally took out the Death Sword.”
Nagel’s expression as he looked at the scene was very dark.
In particular, he focused his attention on the red sword in Belkarion’s hand.
“Nagel! “Maybe it would be good for us?”
“If the situation has reached that point, things will only get more complicated if we step in. “It’s best to just watch it like this.”
“Can’t Nagel handle the power of that evil sword?”

“It’s not just me. “That is a weapon whose odds of victory cannot be guaranteed even if a god comes.”
An absolute weapon, the Death Sword, that is only allowed to those with the title of Demon King in this land.
As the leader of the Devil Dragons and having observed the history of the Demon World for a long time, Nagel knew the power of the Four Swords better than anyone else.
“The four swords are swords that have been passed down through generations from beings called demon kings, from the beginning of time until now. When the previous Demon King died, the sword was passed on to the next Demon King who succeeded him. Inheriting all the power it had before… … .”
In other words, that sword contained not only the power of the current Demon King Belkarion, but also the power of all Demon Lords who had ruled the Demon World in the past.
“If the Holy Sword and the Demon Sword are weapons that can vary in power depending on the potential of the owner, then the Four Swords are weapons that become stronger with each successive generation as the power of the previous Demon King continues to increase. The sword spirit created by the concentration of the strongest people had probably been irritating the Demon King all along. The fact that the sword has awakened means… … .”
Nagel paused for a moment without continuing.
“It probably means that the winds of chaos will blow again in this demon world. For example, not only the Demon World but also the Human World will no longer be safe.
The devil dragons all held their breath and watched the formidable force that could be felt even from afar.
“Why on earth would such a sword be given to the devil?”
“It should be said that it is a resistance to protect the demon world from the so-called supreme beings. It means that you are not the only ones who can destroy the world… … .”
Nagel expanded his field of vision even further and looked into every corner of Arem, but he could not find the person he was looking for.
“Any news from Mishka yet?”
“I lost all energy after arriving at the place he told me to guide him to. “Judging by the fact that it doesn’t transmit any mental response, I think it may have entered subspace with that human.”
In other words, it means that you have gone in, but have not yet come out.
Nagel took his eyes off Arem and briefly looked in the direction where Xian and Mishka were heading.
A dragon asked cautiously.
“Nagel. “I’m just asking just in case, but do you really think that person can stop that demon lord?”
The other dragons were also curious, waiting silently for Nagel’s answer.
Nagel answered right away without hesitation.
“I do not know.”
“What if you say you don’t know?”
“You say you don’t know because you really don’t know.”
There is one thing that all devil dragons who have followed Nagel for hundreds of years know.
That their leader never gives an answer that he is not sure about.
If it is correct, then it is correct.
Or no.
This was the first time that he, who always gave definite answers, answered that he did not know.
“He is a person whose inner thoughts are so unknown that even I cannot predict. So I can only say that I don’t know… … .”
At the very least, I was able to be absolutely certain that he was the one with the highest possibility of stopping that Demon King in both the Demon World and the Human World.
And there was one more thing that caught Nagel’s attention.
‘What about that child?’
It was an unfamiliar pink-haired woman who was standing right in front of Arin and Lunab, protecting them from the demon king.
A dual being that is neither human nor dragon.
For some reason, it was a very annoying presence.
However, as if he didn’t want the other dragons to see that, Nagel turned his gaze towards the Demon King again.
* * *
Pure white clouds and majestically rising pillars.
A man is sitting with his legs crossed in an open space and an unfamiliar building within it.
“… … .”
He was lost in thought for a long time, as if he was in deep trouble.
“You’re not acting like you, Rumendel?”
In the midst of all this, he heard a woman’s leisurely voice and gently raised his head.
He must have been an unwelcome guest, so he had an uncomfortable look on his face.
“It seems like the Demon King has unleashed the power of the Four Swords. “Is this your plan too?”
“Why are you asking me that?”
“I was wondering if I had loosened the reins incorrectly. As you know, the power of the Four Swords is comparable to our own and has a power that cannot be ignored. If the devil loses control of his power and goes on a rampage, who can stop it? Or are you planning to go to the Demon World after the Human World?”
“If you’re planning on messing with me, go back, Aquanis.”
Rummendel waved his hand and showed that he did not want to continue talking.
“Please don’t look too bad. “I just expressed my thoughts out of concern.”
However, she paid no heed and went straight to the back of the constellation where he was sitting.
“Do you have any other plans in mind?”
“There is nothing to call it a plan. Excessive power always leads to destruction. It’s no different from the devil. “It may cause some damage to the human world, but in the end, it will destroy itself.”
“So this means that the movements of those who remain after the disaster is swept away are important?”
Instead of answering, Rummendel stared at her face.
“Now that I think about it, your recent movements have also been unusual.”
“Why me?”
“I heard you often go down to the Human World and interact with dragons? “Did you say the dragon’s name was Marian?”
Aquanis’s brows were slightly agitated.
“It’s not a good idea for a man to pry after a woman.”
“If you don’t like it, don’t go around fooling around, Aquanis. If you don’t want to end up like someone who got kicked out… … .”
As if smiling or not, Rummendel raised the corners of his mouth and gave her a heartfelt warning.
At this, Aquanis’ face, which was full of smiles, seemed to be disturbed for a moment, but it soon regained its original relaxed expression.
“Conversations with you are as boring as ever.”
Then I thought about turning around and going back the way I came,
“Ah, I recently had a funny imagination.”
He suddenly stopped and turned his head to Rummendel again.
“What if the heir of the black fog stops the demon lord who opened the Four Swords?”
“What are you talking about?”
Rummendel’s face immediately distorted.
“That’s the flow. You may have wanted your successor to become the order of the Human World, but now the world is going in the opposite direction, right? “I think maybe the heir of the fog defeating the demon lord is the trend of this world.”
“… … .”
“You never know. “I wonder if the person who will appear before you soon will show a more than just creature that we thought.”
As if she wanted that future, a smile appeared on her face that was deeper and more honest than ever.
The blue water goddess left space that way.
