Demon King
Chapter 164 Black Month [1]

It was dark and covered with a gloomy evil spirit. Compared to the other areas in the Black Palace, it emitted a powerful and extremely vast energy.

“How long do we need to do this?”

Until the dungeon disappeared from Earth.

“Do not think to stop.” I could hear the voices of the self-proclaimed warriors. Among them, the only names I know are Lane, the leader, and Emily. But, in the end, it didn't matter what their names were.

Myu.

“Yes, it's a spider. Are you hungry? There will be a lot of monsters soon. ”

“Emily, it's her enemy.”

“I'll change it to our side.”

“Cotting.” Still, it was fortunate that they realized that Solas was the enemy, even though they appeared before him a lot, showing their immaturity.

“I can't contact them.”

“It's only natural if there is no contact, we are on mission.”

“One-time mess. We are the warriors to save humanity! ”

“If they are left alone, humanity will be annihilated ..”

“Ohtem, what are you talking about?”

“Is there any reason to give our lives to save them?” When we first met, they had a clear purpose. However, since then, their other mindsets, except Lane, have begun to change. Deciding on them from Heaven had an effect I didn't think of.

“I'm tired of this, Lane.”

“Ohtem, you..!” As the tension mounts, Emily steps in.

“But we were saved by them. Shouldn't that mercy be paid back? ”

“Yes, they saved us and gave us strength! Enough!”

“Is it really a boon?” The other man, who was listening quietly, responded coldly.

“What?”

“Because we had the elves as partners, we were in danger of dying during the Great Fusion, and then they saved us. We decided to do whatever they said, but I felt something was wrong. How did they save us? Where did this power come from? I can't ignore those questions.

“Takes..” Emily's voice vibrates. I was shaking too, but for a different reason. Batsago explains that during the Great Fusion, Heaven chose humans with abilities and trained them. Do humans have the same position as those who have fallen? Your relationship with your partner is related to your class and abilities, in general. Elves outperform humans, so only the absolute best humans were connected to them before Great Fusion. Can they take that great candidate and turn him into a warrior?

“The Great Fusion... is it really a supernatural phenomenon? Can't they stop it? Maybe... What if that's the cause? ”

“Monitor!” Lane pulled out his sword. Penak and Ohtem prepared their own too, and Emily stood back up while hugging Solas. I decided to step forward before they collided.

“I'd appreciate it if you kill each other in your own time.”

“Destiny?!” I only told them my name once, but they remembered it well. I laughed as they pointed their guns at me.

Myu! Solas jumped off Emily's arm and landed on my head.

“I'm in charge of this dungeon. There is little left on Earth, so now you can go your own way. ”

“Why?”

“Aren't you listening? There's only a little left. ”

“What are you doing again?” Emily tries to hold Lane, but she won't back down. Ohtem and Penak ran to hold him from both sides.

“You will absolutely die!”

“This fool...!”

“Depart! Our enemy is him! This monster that leads the demons and kills humans casually! Not Heaven! ” As the word Heaven came out of his mouth, the other three stiffened. That must be an important secret for them.

“You've gone mad.”

“Lane, just relax. Please relax! ”

“What..?” I created countless blackmines, spreading them throughout the dungeon.

“I know Heaven supports you. Only something like Heaven has the capacity to do this. ”

“...You know?”

“See that! He's the cause of Great Fusion, I know that! ”

“The Great Fusion was caused by Heaven to destroy the world I was in: underground.”

“What..?” Lane's momentum stopped as she was speechless. Ohtem looked resigned, and Phenak had a strange expression on his face. Emily's face was empty.

“Liar...!”

“I'm not lying. Believe it or not, Heaven caused it. Oh, but it's my fault that you're in danger of dying, when I created the Rookie Battlefield. ” I drove the elves and angels to the Battlefield, even knowing how terrible it was. Therefore, since I cannot repeat the karma of that terrible past, the underground and the Earth will never be connected. They listened quietly while I explained why I created the Battlefield. But as soon as I finished, Lane's patience seemed to be at its limit.

“You! That's because of you.. we used to…! ”

“If you want to kill me, please .. I will give you a painless death.” I pulled my dagger.

“Wait a minute, Lane.” Emily finally spoke up.

“Isn't your anger direction wrong?”

“What are you talking about? This is the guy who almost killed us! ”

“... They just want to live. Yes, as a result we are almost dead, but if you kill him, then you will deserve your own anger. ” Lane's jaw trembled as she listened to him, her sword turning towards him.

“That's all a lie! Heaven didn't cause it! ”

“Do you believe that he created the Battlefield, but didn't the sky cause Great Fusion?”

“She simply mixes the truth with her lies!” I understand his feelings. If I were in the same position, I would make the same judgment.

“No matter how you listen to me or act from now on, it has nothing to do with me. I've got no reason to lie to you, because you can't do anything to me. ” At that moment, a loud explosion sounded through the basement as it prepared to collapse. Incredible screams filled the basement, from the boss monsters in zone 6.

“I have a job to do, so hurry up.”

“I... i..”.

“Takes, Ohtem.” Emily called out their names in a cold tone of voice. The two men nodded and immediately attacked Lane.

“Hah?!” Lane touches the ground, unable to defend himself from an instantaneous attack. He was not injured but could not move from their abilities.

“Thank you for letting us know. I hate you too, but I don't want to die. ”

We also.

“If we run away, will you leave us?”

“Iya.” I'm nodding.

“But be careful. If you try to block me, I'll have no choice but to kill you. ”

“Do not worry.” Emily nodded as if to say, ‘trust’. At that moment, the screams that filled the basement faded away. The pocket watch began to shake, reminding me that the boss had been dealt.

“What.... will you try to face heaven?”

“Ya.”

“But they are amazing. Not just their angels, but their leader, Michael…! ”

“That's no problem. All I care about is the heavenly body itself that creates and directs them. ”

“Body…? What is it?” He said he hated me but tried to give me information. Perhaps their anger and hatred towards the heavens that used them surpassed their feelings towards me. Anger and hatred. I can understand that too. They coincided with my desire to eat heaven, hotter than hellfire. I slowly raised my hand and pointed out the sky far above the dungeon where we were underground.

“It must be there. Food prepared for me. ” With that, I leave them. The zone 6 boss seal was released, completely freeing the seal on the pocket watch as the basement itself was sucked underground. The pocket watch began to emit a dark light, opening the gate in front of me.

A gate to the 7th District of the Black Palace. Destiny, pocket watches, powers I haven't found yet, and the Black Palace.

I took a step forward, believing that there would be a way to overcome this situation that I was aiming for. Solas wept merrily in the darkness outside the gate.
