ALL NOVEL chapter 174
174 – Final Task (3)
I like the true ending better than the bad ending…
He was an ordinary gamer.
And in , The ending where the player becomes the devil was, without a doubt, a bad ending.
The demon lord may have been defeated for now, but
It is disturbing that the chain of evil has not been broken due to the greed of humans drunk on power.
Well, because it was in this context, a normal player would not feel like calling themselves a demon lord.
However, I had no other options.
This is not a game, but another dimension of reality.
If I, an outsider, can sacrifice myself to turn Yeriel Artina into a fallen angel,
It will definitely be a happy ending for others.
‘I feel like I’m going crazy…’ ‘
By the way, without gamer characteristics,
Inheriting the Demon King is… It was a terribly difficult act.
It was more than the pain of being eaten by a gray mountain dog when the level of encroachment exceeded.
Still, there is nothing we can do.
‘If you self-destruct without everything… ‘
This is clearly a necessary evil, so we must endure it.
.
.
.
The devil’s throne room.
I treat the throne that only Satan can sit on as comfortably as a chair in a local PC room.
Of course, I break into a cold sweat due to the black magic that is continuously injected into me.
“Human… Something like… That’s rude… “
Lucifer’s puzzled expression lasted for quite some time.
“You don’t even know the owner, you’re careless. “Lucifer.”
“How dare you… !”
-Gugung!!!!!
In an instant, I infused the spear he was holding with black magic and threw it at me.
-Chukang!!!!
-Kakagak!!!
Yellow D next to me used protection magic and blocked it instead.
“Demon girl… Why are you on the side of humans?!”
Yellow D answered Lucifer’s question lightly.
“Huh? “Now this person is the devil.”
“!”
When Yellodi placed his hand on my shoulder, Lucifer could not say anything more.
“Rev…?”
And it was Edwin who reacted greatly to the word devil.
“Lev, why are you… ?”
A very obvious question.
“Why are you the devil?”
Edwin began listing various hypotheses he had imagined on his own.
“Ah. hahahaha. It’s a joke, right? You slay the devil… There… no no. The devil was disguised as Lev… “
-……
There was silence in the throne room.
“You’re making a joke about demons… It’s very playful. Lev.”
Edwin looked at me seriously and said one word.
“There’s no way you’re the devil.”
* * *
“Huh… !”
-Sharp.
Meanwhile, Yeriel, who had been forcibly transformed into a fallen angel, sat down between Aria and Psyche.
“I don’t have time. If we don’t purify Yeriel… !”
“It’s okay…” Aria… I… I’ll leave it alone and let Lev… “
Lucifer looked at the ceiling and started laughing at Yeriel’s helpless words.
“Sigh… hahahahaha!”
“?!”
Total crisis.
He laughed, even shedding tears, as if he found it difficult to accept the current situation.
“It will turn. The kids are demon lords and heroes. How did it end up like this? “The last bastion of the demons, the Demon King’s Castle?”
“… “
Lucifer was vaguely convinced.
The current state of the Demon King’s Castle has become chaotic, and the surrounding Demon Tower has developed an abnormal reaction.
It was because that gray-haired man was truly the ‘Devil King.’
But, that’s what made the situation interesting.
They say there is no end to human greed.
I don’t know how he did it, but the gray man who betrayed his fellow warriors and became the Demon King…
A green-colored man who denies reality until the end, asking how this happened.
“It’s the best.”
A tragedy occurred that was deeply reminiscent of the betrayal and despair of the humans favored by the devils.
Moreover, the fallen angel he created, Artina’s girl, will soon become corrupted.
Even if it was previously suppressed somehow by the miracle of a saint…
It is impossible now.
Since the Fallen Angel’s curse is not a simple encroachment, it is bound to manifest at some point, and now she is in Pandemonium, that is, the Devil’s Castle.
A level of black magic that was unparalleled before hers would begin to eat away at her, and she would soon fall into the abyss of despair.
‘Then what I can take is… ‘
Crisis is an opportunity.
As the current Demon King changed, the hierarchy became distorted.
According to the original, it is impossible for a 72nd rank great devil to harm the devil lord,
It meant that it was possible now.
First of all, if you please and bow down to that creature’s desires, then if you take the opportunity and kill him… He says that becoming a demon lord is not a dream.
At that time, the gray boy.
No, the mouth of Demon King Lev Denek opened.
“Lucifer. It’s an order. “Bring Yeriel Artina here.”
Lucifer smiled brightly at those words and immediately carried out the order.
– Perfect!
“… !”
With a gesture of his hand, Yeriel, who had been bound by Lucifer, began to be dragged towards the throne platform.
“Rev… ? No?! Wake!!! “What are you trying to do now!!”
At the same time, Edwin began to roar.
This cannot be the case with any Lev I have seen so far.
He has defeated countless demons,
“Rev!!!”
Didn’t we promise together to kill the devil?
‘Ah… What a disgusting and greedy sight this is… ‘
When Lucifer was admiring the endless desires of humans,
Lev got up from the throne, approached Yeriel, who was soaked in black magic, and took her hand.
“I command with the authority of the devil. Of all the magic towers and corrupted sanctuaries in Pandemonium… “
“Hmm…?”
“Stop operating.”
-Fibit!
With a bombshell that stopped Lucifer’s brain, the two people’s new forms disappeared.
.
.
.
The devil’s personal level.
In that space, Yeriel Artina was already in the form of a succubus with three pairs of black wings spread out,
Lev Denek, now a demon lord, was sitting facing each other.
“Hello, Yeriel.”
Numerous black magic expressions were etched into his face, as if he had a tattoo.
Yeriel looked at that figure mournfully and answered.
“Why Lev… ?”
“… “You’ve had a hard time so far.”
“Why again this time!”
“Sorry, it took so long.”
He just kept apologizing and apologizing.
Yeriel’s sense of déjà vu did not go away with that answer.
For some reason, I felt like he was going to leave me and go far away.
-Hikyung.
Yeriel held back her tears and held Lev’s arm.
“Why always… You’re leaving me behind… “
“… “
“I…” I’m Lev… I like the world where Lev is… But if this happens every time… I am… !!”
“Sorry.”
At that moment, Yeriel let go of Lev’s arm.
And she cautiously, she asked a question.
“… Lev hates me… ?”
He responded with a grin to Yeriel’s neat and cute words.
“No, that can’t be…” “I liked you from the first time I met you.”
“I, huh… “Me too.”
“I’m sorry for being cold to you back then…”
“Apples…! Stop! “I don’t like it… it makes me feel sad…”
Yeri El cried and held out her little finger.
“So promise, promise… ! It’s coming back again… ?”
“I…” “I guess I wanted to create a world where the people I like could live without worries.”
“Rev…?”
Putting aside Yeriel’s desperation, he muttered another word instead of answering her question.
“I command it with the authority of the devil. Given to Yeriel Artina… “Removes the fallen angel’s curse.”
-Shhh!
-Huh?
Yeriel’s mutterings were drowned out along with his own black magic being sucked into Lev.
-Jooooong!
“Big! “aaah!”
And then painful moans began to come out of Lev’s mouth.
“Rev… !”
In an instant, Yeriel’s head becomes cold.
Why does Lev have to suffer?
If you become a demon king to lift the curse of being a fallen angel, and endure the pain in return…
“Rev… ! No!! Stop!!”
It must be dried.
“I’d rather…” Me… I! Because I can die… ! Stop it! Lev!!”
Yeriel did not want to see the person she loved suffer, even if it meant death.
I don’t want to burden Lev anymore.
Above all, he is not a demon now.
This means that if you accept the curse of a fallen angel in addition to the black magic power of a mere human or demon king, you will never be able to return to the way it was before.
“Rev… stop… please… please… “
Yeriel sheds lukewarm tears and approaches Lev.
“Sorry. To Aria and Edwin… “
He began to back away while writhing in pain.
“Rev… ?!”
“Tell her I’m sorry.”
“Rev!”
“And… “
-Be happy.
-
-Be happy.
That was the end.
At that moment, everything turns white and returns.
To the throne room of the Demon King…
After this…
-Kuror tomb !!!
-Roaring!!!!
There was only a roar.
– Fighting. Patter.
The ceiling of the Demon King’s Castle, which was like an iron castle, began to crack.
“Bah, stupid…” “
Lucifer stood still, dumbfounded.
“Stupid!!!”
It’s the worst.
Naturally, a human being who was intoxicated by the power of the devil and thought that he would walk down an endless path of corruption,
Because I gave the order to let go of everything.
If the Magic Tower and Corrupted Sanctuary stop working, the Demon Castle, Pandemonium, and…
-Kukwagwagwang!!
The power of the Demon King himself will run wild and disappear.
Lucifer immediately spread his wings.
The gray-haired boy who pretended to be the devil was no longer there.
“Rev…?”
[…] ]
However, a demon armed only with jet-black energy…
-
!!!
He just looked at Edwin and the others, emitting indiscriminate magical pressure.
It was neither a human nor a demon.
It seems as if all the pain in the world has been pushed into it.
I can’t say I’m stronger than the former Demon King, but given the current situation, if I get caught up in it, I’ll be greatly harmed.
‘In the future… We promise to do it later… !’
-Flutter!
Lucifer escaped from the Devil’s Castle.
– Clap!
When the fallen angel disappeared, the restraints that bound Edwin, Psyche, and Aria also disappeared.
“Rev… ? Lev… ?”
“This…” “
Edwin Gwins fell into a state of confusion as he looked at Yeriel, who was behaving in a daze.
After Lev took her away and reappeared,
The black energy felt from Yeriel has completely disappeared.
Instead, the runaway Mine, who could not be believed to be Lev, just stood still in his place.
– Kuuk.
It was instinct.
Edwin held the holy sword tightly.
-Please kill the devil with your own hands.
-Please kill the devil with your own hands.
-Please kill the devil with your own hands.
“Rev… “
Before killing Belial, his last request seemed to have been made with this situation in mind.
-Turped.
At that time, Yeriel stopped Edwin.
“I don’t like it… Lev… If there is no… me too… “
“Sorry, get out of the way. Yeriel.”
“I’m going to die too… “
She just shed pitiful tears.
.
.
.
-Roar, rumble!!
Everything is falling apart.
To the point where it can no longer be reversed.
Lev Denek.
Demon King.
Mine.
“Mr. Lev…?”
Edwin and Yeriel were not the only ones shocked by the incredible sight.
The same was true for Aria.
And the saint, Psyche, who was looking at all of this, quietly closed her eyes and remembered.
-I failed… Even for the next warriors…
-Psyche, please at least live. Please.
Kroon’s last will.
She recalled this and raised Aria’s hand.
“…?”
Aria’s gaze, which had been on Lev, meets Psyche’s red eyes.
“Master Psyche…?”
“It’s okay. Aria, if it were you… “You can do it.”
Psyche smiled benevolently, befitting a saint, and then
-Shaaa!!
She soon began to hand over all of her divine powers.
