Chapter 19: Please Don't Disappear

Why

Why do all the people I care about disappear?

If that's the price to pay as a demon king, I'd rather not be a demon king. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But I can't think like this, I can't let go of my mission as a demon king......

So

Please don't, please don't disappear again, O person I care about.

……

The last large gray nightmare crystal completely detached from the surface of the world, smashed to the ground, turned into a cloud of gas, and then vaporized.

The colors in all directions turned into countless threads to hold up Rukia's body, coloring Rukia's gray body in mid-air, and a gray-white flame that did not want to disappear was loyally floating in the palm of Rukia's left hand, which was the last remaining soul of Zero.

The dream world, which had been turned gray by the manipulation of the Void Nightmare, ushered in a revival, and everything was no longer the monotonous gray, and it returned to its normal color.

The gray world is the same garden that Mu Ze met with Luzel, the garden full of Pandora flowers in the Demon Realm.

However, unlike the garden where Luzel lived, all the Pandora flowers in Rukia's garden had lost their lives, turned yellow, and weakened.

Just like Rukia's mood.

Although controlled by the Void Nightmare, the controlled Rukia was still able to know through the memory fragments fed back by the dream that the Zero and Abyss Knights used their lives to turn into soul flames for themselves to force away the Void Nightmare that controlled them.

"I killed Zero, and the Knights of the Abyss......"

Emotions such as remorse, sadness, and self-blame condensed in Rukia's heart, and a gray tear quietly passed across Rukia's cheek, and then was colored in the process of falling, dripping onto the ground.

The dripping ground, the originally yellowed Pandora of the Demon Realm, quickly faded its lifeless yellow, and a large area of the place turned into the original lifeless gray.

Due to Rukia's influence, Rukia's coloring has become slower than before, and in some places it has even changed from warm to cool.

However, Rukia's recovery did not go so smoothly, and the blue sky of the world that had been constantly coloring Rukia was suddenly stained with black, and the disgusting and slightly angry bisexual voice of the Void Nightmare came from outside the sky:

"The lowly Western Demon Realm pariah dares to hurt Lord Ben! Lord Ben wants you, oh, your master, Princess Rukia, to taste the pain of Lord Ben! ”

The black aura began to infect Rukia's body along the colored lines connecting the sky and Rukia, trying to occupy Rukia's soul body again.

Hearing this voice, the gray-white soul flame made from zero began to beat violently, wanting to fly from Rukia's hand to the sky and the coloring line connected to Rukia's soul body, and use the pure soul flame to purify the polluted coloring line to prevent the nightmare from invading Rukia's recovering soul body through the soul coloring line.

Rukia, who had basically regained consciousness, stared at Zero in her hand quietly through her red pupils, feeling the gray-white flames in her hand in a daze.

What a warm flame, so warm, that Rukia, whose soul was about to go numb, felt the feelings in it, it was exactly what she cared about, what she wanted to keep, what she wanted to protect.

The beating gray-white soul flame not only warmed Rukia's soul body, but the contact between the soul body and the constantly burning soul caused some fragments of memory to appear in Rukia's consciousness through the burning of the zero past, and the abyss knight who dedicated everything to the demon king, the zero past was seen by Rukia without reservation.

Although it was only Zero's broken soul, Rukia saw fragments of fragments of memory, but it did not affect Rukia's thoughts in her memories in the slightest.

Because of the fragmentary past, there are many relatives that Rukia is familiar with and cares about.

Her mother Yulia, her brother Ruzel, her sister-in-chief maid Anika, and even the stubborn but affectionate "old diehards" of the House of Elders, and the Knights of the Abyss who believed in her and were loyal to her, her bodyguards, her people, and the contractor who suddenly appeared, named Andra. Curtain. Zelar. The demon two-colored pupil youth of the night......

Rukia suddenly discovers that many, many of these people she cares about have disappeared.

An inexplicable fear and sorrow began to spread in Rukia's heart, and the soul body, which was still numb, seemed to be covered with another layer of frost.

"Don't."

The Mother is gone, Brother Ruzel is gone, Sister Anika is gone, and the Knights of the Abyss...... They all disappeared because of the concubines.

Is it zero's turn now?

"Don't."

Why, are they leaving me? I just want them to live and live happily with Rukia. Why did they give their lives for me, the weak Space Demon King? I just want them to stay with me.

Don't, I don't, don't be this hypocritical space demon king, don't wear a false mask anymore, don't want the people I care about to disappear for me again.

The flames that had just flown away from Rukia were grabbed by Rukia's white left hand, and ignoring the gray-white flames that kept trying to struggle, the thoroughly colored Rukia slowly landed on the ground from the floating mid-air.

Their disappearance is all because of themselves, the new space demon named Rukia, the most useless and cowardly space demon Rukia......

"Please don't ......"

The words with a pleading tone shouted out of Rukia's mouth, and the gray-white flames that had been clenched from zero were slowly pressed close to her chest, so careful. The symbol representing the noble status of the Space Demon King on the right hand that he was holding (sighing in the gap) was also thrown to the ground, and he instead held his left hand to care for the gray-white flame in his hand.

Constantly trying to struggle, the gray-white flames were held by Rukia's hands, and the gray-white flames that were originally a little ungrippable were tightly protected by Rukia's hands in her palms, and the blue sky above Rukia was constantly polluted into black, and the malicious colors wantonly began to pollute Rukia's soul body through the coloring lines, and the flames that wanted to shine the last light on the people he was loyal to burned even more violently.

The desire to "protect Rukia-sama and protect the Demon King" was transmitted to Rukia through the burning of Zero's soul flame, and the accelerated burning caused Zero's consciousness to begin to blur, which was a sign that Zero was about to dissipate.

Is it?

I have to protect the Demon King, and protect me, the Demon King, who is useless and will only drag down others.

Because the concubine is a demon king, as an abyss knight, Zero must protect himself well, as is Brother Ruzel, Sister Anika, the abyss knights, and I believe my subjects.

But, but ......

The concubine doesn't want you to disappear.

Therefore, I beg you, I beg you, and don't ...... anymore

"Please, please! The people who care about the concubine, please don't disappear again! ”

The pent-up emotions erupted from Rukia's body with the words that were about to cry, and the hands carefully leaned the protective gray-white flames against his chest, and the surging emotions were turned into physical power in this spiritual world composed of souls, and a shock wave glowing with silver light began to start from Rukia's body, breaking all the coloring lines and beginning to spread around.

The ground that had been turned gray by the drop of tears was swept away by the shockwave, and the gray shell was once again uncovered, revealing the yellowed Pandora flowers and the yellowed grass, and the shockwave that exploded into substance and continued to spread began to wash away the polluted world.
