readx; Leon (Demonized): Hmph...... Hum......

I'm going to be back in a little while. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There's no one left to stop me......

Murva: You're back......

Leon (demonized): Huh?

Murva: You may wear a man's skin cloak but you can't hide the darkness that emanates from you.

We've been missing for eight hundred years, Demon King.

Leon (Demonized): Is it a dragon guy?

No, I still have a little impression of your face.

Yes, in that cursed ancient war......

Damn humanity has sealed me away......

And a dragon man joined them......

And his name is indeed Murva.

Murva: The earth has lost the protection of the Sacred Stone and is now filled with monsters.

The monster born out of the mud is now going crazy with pleasure.

It's like waiting......

The return of the ancient demon king.

Leon (Demonized): That's good. And I'm already here.

To tell you that I have been born again.

Stand down, dragon!

Now you can't stop me.

Murva: It's my mission to protect humanity.

I'm not going to leave you alone.

Just like that battle back then......

You're going to disappear from the land!

Leon (Demonized): Oh...... Want to get your hands dirty?

By the way, speaking of dragons......

Among the men chasing me was a dragon girl.

Murva, she's your daughter, right?

Murva: ...... Mel......

Feel your perch leave here.

Don't......

Leon (demonized): Huh?

Hehe, who knows......

Murva: Answer me!

I'll base it on your answer......

Leon (Demonized): Hum Hum ......

It doesn't make much sense for you to know even if you do.

You challenge me...... There is no joy or sigh for you anymore.

I will let you die a miserable death, and I will make you regret it.

I'll let you know that living a long life is sometimes not a good thing!

――――

Leone:......

One more moment.

Murva: ...... Wait a minute.

Leone:?

Murva: Human, what are you doing here?

Return to your companions.

This is not the place where humans should be.

This is the realm where darkness dwells......

It is a place polluted by evil demons.

Leon: That's why I'm here.

I have to rely on the power of the Demon King......

to save everyone.

Murva: You......

Are you deluded by demons?

No, you're trying to get demons, right?

Leone:......

Murva: It's sad......

Take the human body ......

You can't control the devil.

Even if I keep myself now......

But sooner or later it will go crazy.

Now I can see some signs......

Leon: No, it's ......

…… Not......

It's my own consciousness......

I am the people who want to save the Goulard!

Murva: ......

Leone: In Foresight......

I have two futures in front of me.

One is a future where the body and mind are deprived of being dominated by the Demon King......

The other is to use his power with the Dominating Demon King...... Not......

Use his power to prevent disasters and save the future of the people of the Gurads......

I've been fighting against the demon king who wants to corrupt me for a long time......

I finally chose the second path on my own.

Murva: Pathetic......

That's the will of the Demon King.

Why don't you understand it yet......

From the moment you get the Magic Stone, you have been dominated by the Demon King.

The demon lord within you has crept into the darkness within you, manipulating you and twisting you.

Leone:...... Wrong......

Murva: You feel like you've saved yourself.

You think so.

But it's just the Demon King manipulating your heart.

Why don't you understand it yet......

Leon: That's not right! I......

I'll save everyone!

Murva: Think again.

Are you really like this?

If you can save people, regardless of the lives of others......

Is it really you who made such a decision?

Leone:......

I know that sooner or later, this body will be taken away by the Demon King.

Even so, it doesn't matter......

If I can save everyone, even if it's not me, I'm willing.

Murva: ...... Really......

I can't stop coming.

I am Murva.

It is the dragon that guards this place.

I can't save you.

All I can do is destroy demons.

that your soul may no longer be polluted by this......

Let you rest in peace.

Leon: I can't rest yet.

Not yet......

No matter what taboos are committed, no matter how much sacrifice is made.

I'm going to ...... too.

Murva: ...... It's sad.

So, let me do my mission.

Just like ancient wars......

Demon King, disappear for me immediately!

Leone:......

――――

Everem: This black miasma......

Erek: That's good......

I also felt it clearly.

Seth: This is the Sea of Dark Trees......

Where the Demon King was once destroyed by the heroes who held the [Sacred Stone]......

I heard that now the miasma has blown up the whirlpool, and the monsters have also poured out of the nest.

But I didn't expect it to be so strong......

Mel: That's good...... This distorted feeling......

It's stronger than before.

It's painful to even stand here.

But it doesn't matter.

There's my father here.

Erec: Your father?

Mel: Over there.

On the other side of that swamp.

The Demon King's Demon Temple is there.

My father lives nearby.

My father and I live here.

Iverem: Yes. For you, this is the hometown where you were born and raised.

Mel: Yes......

I'm really happy to see my father again.

My father was the head of the dragon clan.

In previous wars......

He became my father after my father and mother died......

And raised me.

Erec: That's what happened......

Mel: The monsters that came out of the Sea of Dark Trees were all destroyed by my father.

Father, he's very strong.

And it's gentle.

I want to be like him......

……！

Erec: What's wrong?

Mel......

Seth: Princess Ereco, Prince Iverem!

It's the enemy!

The monsters are already coming here......

Mel:......

Erec: Mel, what's wrong?

Isn't it a little uncomfortable?

Mel: No, nothing.

I'll try.

I'll try.........

Defeat the monsters.

――――

――――

Leon (Demonized): Hum Hum ......

Avi......

I'll leave it to you.

Avi: Hehehehehe......

Rest assured.

Lord Demon, please hurry up and perform the resurrection ceremony......

――――

Avi: Hmph......

It's almost there...... It's almost there......

It's almost there...... It's almost there......

Soon, the Demon King will be resurrected!

I will be a faithful servant of the Demon King......

I'm going to take revenge on those damned humans who don't recognize me!

This dead dragon is the strongest dragon ever made by the Demon King......

As long as this dead dragon and I are here......

No matter how many people come, they can't step into the Demon Hall even half a step.

Close to everyone here......

will all sink into the mud!

Hum Hum Hum ......

Hahahahaha!

――――

Mel: Hmm......

Right...... Rise......

――――

Avi: Hmph

It turned out to be Roston's chick......

If you die tragically......

I wonder how frustrated that old man Mansell would be?

And how happy will I be?

Rachel: Do you think I'm going to be scared when you say that?

I am St. Princess Rachel.

It is my mission to destroy the demons.

An evil man who betrayed his soul to a demon king......

I'll give you a taste of death!

――――

Avi: Wow......

Damn......

Why is there no despair......

Why don't you give up yet......

――――

Defeat Avi

Avi: Hmph......

Even if it knocks me down......

It can't be stopped.

The real Demon King......

will awaken......

――――

Everem: This is the Demon Temple......

The Demon King is inside.

Erec: We must defeat him before the resurrection ritual begins.

Let's go, brother!

――――

Mel:......

Mel: I'm sorry...... Father......

Ereq: Mel......

What happened to you?

Mel: Ah......

That one...... That, just now......

I just saw my father.

I haven't seen you in a long time,

Say a few words to him.

Erec: Mel's father?

Then we should go and say hello to him......

Mel: No......

My father said no.

He said that it was better for him not to meet humans.

He said that the patriarch of the dragon clan could not get too close to humans.

Erec: Really......

It's a pity.

Mel: But, he encouraged me......

Tell me to work hard.

He also told me gently......

I hope I go back safely.

That's why I'm going to work hard for my father's sake.

Erec: What a good father, Mel.

Mel: Yes......

Sister Ereke......

I'll try.

Even for my father's sake......

Even for everyone's sake......

I'm going to work hard.

I'm going to take down the Demon King.

Erec: But are you really okay?

You want to see your father so much......

Mel: Hmm...... Never mind.

The battle is over.

You can see it at any time.

Let's go.

Sister Ereco.

Ereq: Mel......

I know.

Let's go, then.

We need to regain peace as soon as possible.

Mel: From this palace......

I felt a great power.

Beelzebub...... Yes, there is.

――――

Mel:......

I'm sorry......

I'm sorry...... Father......

Ephrem: Mel!

Where are you?

Mel: Ah......

Iverem: So here, everyone is worried about you......

Mel? You...... Crying?

Mel: No, no......

It's nothing.

Because this evil aura is so strong, I feel a little uncomfortable......

Ivrem: !

Could this dragon ......

It's yours......

Mel: No, it's not......

It's nothing......

I, Iverem, and everyone else have more painful memories......

I—I'm nothing......

Ephrium: Mel ......

Mel: I, Iverem......

Iverem: I'm sorry.

In order not to worry us, you deliberately concealed the facts.

Mel:......

No, it's okay, Ivrem......

You see, I'm ......

It's okay......

Ephrium: Mel ......

Don't be reckless, cry......

Don't bear it when you're sad......

Mel: Ephrem......

Me, I......

…… Not...... Not......

Father......

Father!

――――

Leon: Hmm...... Not......

Leon: Leon......

Is the time almost up?

Soon, your beloved Erec will be here.

Leon: Erec ......

No...... Come.

I...... Already......

Leon: Hmph...... Leon.

O fragile prince.

As a human being, you want to rebel against my domination......

Hmph, I didn't expect you to have such a skill.

However, you will soon die......

I ate it like that......

Disappearing is your destiny.

Leon: Hmm...... Not......

Wow!

Leon: Hmph, it hurts, doesn't it?

It's painful, right?

But that's not ......

But I don't want to end your life yet.

I'll keep a little conscious of you......

I want you to see you smash Erec with your own hands.

Are you looking forward to it? Leone?

Hum...... Wha!

Leon: ...... Recco ......

――――

Leone:...... Father!

Cheer up!

Father!

Pigard: Leon......

I...... It's no longer possible......

...... later. Over to you......

Leon: How could it be...... Father!

Pigalde: Compared to my life......

Gulard ......

The people of Gurad......

More need for help......

O Leon......

Our Motherland...... What will it become?

Leon: The court magicians and I have foreseen many times.

But still......

The result has not changed.

A few years later, the southern part of the continent ......

The land of Gurad will crumble.

Many people will die because of this disaster......

The remnants will also die of starvation......

Pigard: ......

Leon: But I will do what your father commands......

I won't tell anyone else about it.

But...... If this continues, a lot of people will die......

Father...... Please let me know!

What am I going to do?

What should I do......

Pigard: Leon......

If I die......

You are the Emperor of the Gurads......

For the Emperor......

He has an obligation to protect the country.

I've ......

Nothing can be done.

So you......

We must protect the people......

Leon: But, but I......

I don't have that kind of power yet......

Take this ......

Tell Erek or Iverem.

Then it will definitely ......

Pigalde: What do you want to say to Runes......

Please save us Goulard?

Fear......

They won't accept it.

Goulard repatriates hungry refugees......

Runes will close the country......

And rightfully so.

They have an obligation to protect Runes.

Leon: How could it be......

Pigard: Leon......

You want...... Replace me......

Save......

The people of Gurad......

Leon: Father, Father!

No...... Don't die!

If my father is gone, I will ...... nothing

Leon: Father...... Emperor......

Nowru: Your Majesty......

Leon: I ...... It's too weak.

Because of my weakness...... Everybody's dead.

I......

――――

Nowu: Prince of Leon......

Leon: Nowru ......

I'm going to......

Unlock the ...... of the Sacred Stone of Gurad

Seal......

Nowru: Unlock the Sacred Stone?

But in this case......

Leon: A ritual to stop the disaster......

If the book found in the stack is right......

Just let that ritual succeed and stop the disaster.

However, in order to succeed, it is necessary to have strong magic and sacrifices.

With a human body, you can't hold such powerful magic......

But......

Gurad's [Holy Stone] is the most powerful of the five Holy Stones......

The most powerful [Holy Stone] that sealed the soul of the ancient demon king.........

As long as there is that power......

Certain......

It can prevent the disaster that befell Gurad.

It will definitely save the people.

Nowru: But......

Leon: I ...... It's too weak.

If this continues, Gurad will be destroyed because of me.

So...... Goulard needs the Holy Stone.

I......

Be sure to get stronger.

I......

――――

Leon: Preparation for the ceremony......

It's done.

The Sacred Stone has been destroyed.

The power of the Demon King has increased.

The magic of the Demon Temple has been fully gathered......

Let's start the ceremony like this.

After that, I offered my life as a sacrifice......

This will prevent the disaster.

Everyone will be happy......
