2nd Round Villain

73 – – 300, Nioh John.

“… … After that, I succumbed to the Dragon King. According to Irowell’s last wish.”

The story of the king is over. It was a pretty good comedy and thriller. A comedy without clowns, a tragedy without villains. This is my one-line comment on the past history of Inwang.

“Was there no further retaliation from them?”

“Magic beasts are not stupid. Of course, most of them are dumber than humans, but they are smarter than anyone else when it comes to profit and loss. There is no reason for them to be hostile to an opponent who is okay with not having to be hostile.”

“hmm.”

“I had no desire to become a king. I just wanted to be with Irowell. The reason why I went against Irowell’s advice for the position of king and created a confrontational structure was not to compete for the position of king with the Dragon King, but because I wanted to pamper Irowell for rejecting my love.”

“So?”

“… In the first place, if I hadn’t forced myself into the position of king, everyone would have been happy. The dragon king rules, I rule, but it’s no different from beasts. Not many animals died. Irowell knew that. So he called me ‘meaningless revenge’. Now I know that.”

Well, I think a little differently.

Niwang, John’s words are not wrong. From the story Niwang told me, even from what I’ve heard, he seems to have more attachment to a meal with Irowell than to a seat like a king in the west.

Even if he became a real king, the Niwang would not have been happy at all, and it would have only led to tragedy in the end.

However, in my eyes, there is another reason. The reason why Irowell stopped avenging John until he faced a terrible and brutal death.

Dragon King Endros.

An ancient dragon that even the Dragon Lord, representing a generation of dragons, pays homage to. In other words, the beginning of all dragons.

When there was a confrontation between the Inwang and the Dragon King, the monsters of the old generation sided with the Dragon King and the monsters of the new generation sided with the Inwang. Why would they? The dragon king or the king of kings are taking special care of them, but it’s not like that.

People or monsters, they tend to blindly believe in what they see and hear. The monsters of the new generation had only experienced the power of the Nio. In addition, since even Irowell was on the side of the Inwang before he weakened, they naturally believed that the Inwang would be stronger than the Dragon King.

why? Because Nioh was the strongest of all beings they had ever experienced.

However, the demon beasts of the old generation, who had lived hundreds and thousands of years and went through the era of the Five Kings, were well aware of it.

Five Kings.

Endros, the Dragon King, said to change the map of the demon realm with just one breath.

Horus, the King of Darkness, who spreads his brown wings and is said to cover the entire sky of the Demon Forest.

Arachne, the lord who cuts space and time by creating a web that even gods cannot break.

Death King Jormungand, who is said to be able to wrap his body around the continent and bite his own tail if he stretches his body all the way.

Kraken, the fish king, went to the continental sea because the river in the forest was too narrow.

When hundreds of demon kings and thousands of warriors change for tens or millions of years.

These five kings continued their reign as unchanging supreme beings. In fact, it is a position that even the demon king cannot easily touch.

of course… The demon lord Kanos of this generation is an exception. He sleeps as an absolute strong man, and if Kanos truly has the intent to kill, everyone will die. When he came to visit Tartarus, Kanos didn’t say ‘I am a god among gods’ for no reason.

Anyway, the point is, no matter how much the Ninwang shuddered, he would not have been able to defeat the Dragon King at that point. Saint Irowell, who was well versed in history, would have been well aware of that.

Of course, 200 years from now, the King of Kings joins hands with the great sage Merlin Gregory to kill the Dragon King. that’s a fait accompli

However, there is one thing that should not be overlooked here.

Merlin Gregory is an unprecedented and unprecedented archmage in history.

At that time, Merlin Gregory was a member of the warrior’s party.

In other words, it was a raid. One Dragon King Endros vs. the entire party of heroes, plus the absolute power of Nioh.

The only ones who survived the raid and made their names known to later generations were Merlin Gregory and Nioh. The strongest warrior, saint, warrior, elven archer on the continent of that generation… all dead By the Dragon King Endros Hana.

The monsters of the old generation were aware of the power of the Dragon King. So, when the dragon king was about to wake up, he tried to stop the immature youngsters who dared to raise a new flag.

Even in the days of confrontation, the dragon king was sleeping while the monsters raised their blades to make them bleed. In fact, it wasn’t the dragon king who fought the king, it was the monsters under him.

When the old generation woke up from sleep, the new generation rebelled against the dragon king’s heart and feared that the western part of Masurim would turn into a sea of fire, so they formed their own forces.

And, Irowell.

Niwang, who does not even know that death is the predestined ending, and Irowell, a sage who clearly knows that.

Irowell told Niwang to stop taking revenge because he knew the outcome. As Niwang said just now, if the Inwang is not hostile, there will be no fighting among the demon beasts of the demonic forest. I’m going to roll with the weak meat as usual.

However, the Inwang could not do that, and in the end, Irrowell gave up his own life to break the Inwang’s bondage of revenge. In fact, it saved the Niwang’s life.

“After that… lived quietly. Occasionally, bomb bugs run to this hut as they did then, but if you blow them all up, it will be solved. It’s a little annoying. I also regret that I should have listened to Irowell sooner.”

Although the king himself does not know such a fact. Well, I don’t think I need to tell you. If you’re obsessed with the guilt of killing Irowell, you’ll get into trouble.

“Huh… It’s a beautiful story. You are a true saint.”

“Come on, Scarface. my friend. A Nio who is good to wolves is a good human being.”

“Saint Irowell… I should have been a paladin like her… .”

“Shh, lower your voice. Especially the king of wolves, why would you bark if the king of wolves found out that we were there?”

“What? Kwong Kwong Kwong! Are you ashamed of me?”

“Ah, Aru! Lower your voice! How can you be so noisy!”

“Tsk tsk, I heard the story of a truly righteous human being, but why are there only guys like this next to the angel I saw… It’s crazy.”

A voice is heard from outside the wall of the hut. I’ve been begging you not to act like that, but the three of our assistants are really… .

Oh right, one is an insectivore, not an assistant. these things don’t help.

Do you believe that the walls of the hut will be soundproof and have a conversation? Then, how would you have heard that the King of Kings was unraveling his story, you idiots?

“Beatrice… Do you know that your voice is the loudest right now… .”

“Keuheum, Aru wasn’t hiding his ki anyway, so he must have felt us all. Is a Niwang a Niwang for nothing?”

“Kong.”

oops, that’s it I should lower my expectations

It is a combination of a winged angel, a wolf king with wolf intelligence, and a fallen paladin. How did only those with flaws like that gather? At this point, I have to question my own eyes for making such guys my colleagues.

As I was holding my head aching from the sound coming from outside, the king of kings pointed at me with his thumb and asked me a question.

“A colleague, is that?”

“Yes, a colleague is a colleague.”

The Emperor put a small smile on his lips. His shaggy beard twitched.

“Colleague, good one. awesome.”

“is that so? I’m not very good.”

“You don’t know how precious it is when you have it. But I know when my colleagues are gone. Lonely, sad.”

I’m not particularly lonely because I’m gone now in my previous life, but the atmosphere of Nioh is so vague that I can’t comment on anything. Is that the atmosphere of a middle-aged man in the middle of menopause?

“One of them… Are you a wolf?”

“Yes, you are the Wolf King. Right now, it’s just a mutt.”

“Kong? not a dog! No more mutts!”

Pointing at Aru’s silhouette and hearing what he said, Aruga moved from the back of the hut to the front in an instant, pushed the wooden door and entered.

The king stared at Aru with deep eyes.

“A wolf… nice animal… .”

Come to think of it, the Niwang also had a relationship with the wolf. It’s called Scarface. It has something in common, but I don’t know how to use it.

“a moment ago… The Moonlight Wolf Association? Didn’t you say Lang Wang’s Association? do you belong?”

“Oh, is that it? That’s just a lie. You don’t have any intention of revenge anyway, so there’s no need to cheat any more.”

“A lie, was it? Hmm, I hadn’t even thought of that.”

The King was only a little surprised by my confession of the truth, but showed no sign of regret. I really have no intention of revenge. Well, if you’ve been through that and don’t get traumatized by revenge, somewhere in your mind is wrong.

200 years later, I believed that the Niwang would have had a vengeance thinking about how he captured the Dragon King with Merlin Gregory, and he did it, but the plan was twisted from the beginning.

So, how did Merlin Gregory cook and boil the Nioh? More things to think about.

By the way, it’s only been a few hours of conversation, but you’ve become quite fluent. Is this really the king of humans, the lord of all things? I can understand how Saint Irowell raised Nioh to a conversational level in just a few months.

“Err… ! cancel! cancellation! Not a dog!”

“Hey man, there are times when you cross the line. Where do dogs talk to adults… .”

“Ododog-.”

“Ah! Cancel, cancel! Aru is a wolf!”

“Kreu, keng! Why are you kidding me… ! I want to get scolded… !”

“Oh, a mad wolf is scolding its owner. Because I’m really sad… .”

“Um, the wolf looks a bit ferocious. A wolf, a good beast.”

Wow, Arubo said it was a good beast. I live and live and hear all these things. To that ungrateful mutt.

There are many things I want to say, but I will hold back for now. It’s not too late to gossip about Aru after making Niwang your assistant later on.

I’m not sure if it’s going to be a gossip with a savage. Maybe I could be the first demon to succeed in gossiping with a barbarian. First of all, it’s a good thing, so you should consider it a happy thing.

“But why did you lie?”

With his eyes wide open, the Inwang pokes Aru’s forehead with his thick fingers and asks.

“What did you do with the association?”

“right. Is there any reason to lie?”

“I tried to make you a colleague with that as an excuse. But now it is in vain.”

“colleague?”

“Urgh, don’t… !”

Aruga shows his molars towards Nioh. A creepy life lingers in Aru’s blue eyes. Uh, if that goes wrong, I’ll bite the Nioh.

“colleague… .”

cock, cock-.

“Grrr… ! One more stab… !”

Cock-.

“Kwang!”

In the end, Aru exploded. Aru, who opened his mouth wide, bit the Nio’s finger with his gleaming molars in front. Damn it, what if I even bite into a plate that is not enough even if I appease the Nio… .

“Break! Yep! Break it!”

what?

“Wake up! Crack! Kee-in, ki-in, ki-in… .”

On the contrary, Aru covers her mouth with both hands and runs away. Stepping back and forth, back and forth, Aru, who was frantically retreating, hid behind me, wiping away tears and runny nose. How did you do it?

“Ki-ing… I’m sorry… Leader… That’s weird… I’m sorry… .”

To call you captain only at times like this, you goddamn wolf son.

Aru trembled and pointed at the Nioh’s finger. The Inwang only makes an expression that he doesn’t know why. Upon closer inspection, I could see that the Nioh’s finger was unblemished.

Oh, so, I asked to scold you, but it was harder than expected, so only your teeth hurt?

As if telling me that my guess was correct, Aru opened his mouth and messed with his teeth. Aru’s front teeth shake dangerously.

I burst into laughter as soon as I saw it.

“Wah ha ha ha ha! You cheeky wolf guy! You look very good!”

“Ki-ing… .”

“Have you been very arrogant while biting your soft demon finger? Now your arrogant depravity is over! Because fingers stronger than barbarian rebars forged in the wild have appeared! Ha ha ha ha!”

“Ki-ing… bad… Young demons are really bad… .”

Aru cries with tears welling up. oh wow, that’s cool It feels like the old stress is blowing away. From now on, if Aru tries to bite me, I will have to hide behind Niwang.

For that to happen… Although I have to boil the Niwang as my assistant first.

“colleague… colleague… .”

The Inwang continued, ‘Companion… ‘ was muttering the word. what is it, why are you like that

“Here you are.”

“yes?”

“As long as you don’t mind, I don’t mind being your teammate.”

“… to?”

“I want to be a colleague. Colleagues are good. When I lose a colleague, I feel sad as if the world has collapsed, but when I am with a colleague, I feel happy as if I have the whole world.”

uh? what? you want to be a colleague? is that really Did you really just offer to be my teammate? so easy?

“Are you serious?”

“Comrade, it’s good. I don’t know who he is, but he talked to me. you are good.”

“… her.”

I just realized

Come to think of it, Nioh has no reason to refuse to be my ally.

Aru hated me terribly when he first met me, and Beatrice was living with the trauma of killing her father and couldn’t die, so I had to put on a fun but annoying show to remind them of their feelings.

“great! Now you are my ‘assistant’!”

This time, you don’t have to!

i love it!
