2nd Round Villain

75 – – 300, love cannot be broken by death.

All I can touch is the unfinished story.

When a writer who still has lingering attachments to life wants to fill the gaps in life with presumptuous desires. I cheat by covering his eyes and ears.

But in this case, there is nothing I can do. The story of Niwang was finally completed after the death of Saint Irowell. Even if it’s not necessarily the form of the end of life.

It’s been a long time since I felt helpless like this. Unfamiliarity is like a flood of emotions.

If it’s a problem, it’s a problem. It’s a bit disappointing at this rate, but I’ve come across a show that I can’t intervene in.

It’s not that the ending of the show was disappointing. This is not my show, and it was a beautiful enough performance from an objective point of view.

A boy who knew only barbarism and a woman from civilization. A passionate and unclean love that blooms between a man and a woman. The last show created by a withered saint named Irowell.

From the audience’s point of view, it’s a show so beautiful that if you tried to decorate it with something more, it would be nothing more than a monstrosity.

And then, another trouble arose. I hadn’t thought of it until now.

“hahahahaha!”

The king of kings laughs I laugh along, but unfortunately I can’t laugh on the inside.

saintess.

she is human A lowly, lowly race that can only live for a hundred years at most.

On the other hand, I am a demon. Life spans alone range from hundreds to thousands of years, and beings like Southern Kings live millions of years in some cases.

Even so, I cherished the saintess. It was not a rational judgment. It wasn’t even that it took a long time. It just happened naturally after spending 7 days together in Tartarus in the Tower of Babel.

A saint is because of the demonic charm of humans. Nara fills half of the demons.

The neat and noble looks that only saints possess may have played a part.

Since the saintess is also human, she will one day die. And I will spend the rest of my life after the saintess’s death very uninterestingly. that’s my problem

hmm… .

Apparently, before the saintess dies, I should research a way to make her immortal. There is still a lot of time left, so first of all, solve the tasks in front of you.

“I wasted too much time. now i have to go back The sun will set soon.”

“Are you leaving today?”

“Is there a lot of time? I am thrilled.”

“Hey, you’re even making my heart pound. That’s a very good attitude. great. When we get back, we’ll start right away. Do you have anything to pack?”

“leather… .”

“… Are you planning to wear it? Then I’ll just give you the clothes.”

“No, to eat.”

“… Do savages usually eat skin?”

“Bark, hides, grass roots. It is a very good emergency food.”

“… .”

I have to do it too, but I can’t even show my business card in front of the king. You have to be at that level to be able to say you’re a savage.

The Inwang robs his seat and bends his knees. I got up too. I was constantly thinking about how to win his loyalty, etc. in my head.

Jerk-.

I turned around and walked back with Nioh, who was twice as tall as me. When I came to the cliff, I entered the forest path that I passed by.

The fresh smell of grass and the scent of insects in the verdant forest greet me. In it… There are three intruders.

Aru, Beatrice, and Uriel, who are still hiding behind the tree. In particular, Aru, imprinted with fear of the King, hides the farthest. Whoa, wolf cub. In the future, if you behave rudely, you should bring it to the King of Kings.

“Lord.”

Beatrice was the first to come out of the forest and greet me. A large greatsword hung from his back, and his brown hair was tied in a ponytail.

“Congratulations.”

“Ahh! hard! What article exam are you taking? Did you brick your vocal chords?”

“I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart that you have acquired the King of People.”

“Ahahahaha, by the way, shouldn’t Sir Beatrice and Niwang compete for the position of right arm and left arm? Does the sound of congratulations come out of your mouth right now?”

“The lord’s congratulations are the congratulations of the gods, how can we not be happy?”

“Wow, for a corrupt knight to be polite like this. I guess someone is not an old person.”

Beatrice’s body and appearance were directly proportional to my age. Because you signed a contract for that.

hmm? Shall we use the same trick on the saintess? No, then if I die, the saintess will have to die as well… This method is withheld.

The knight Beatrice naturally came out and stood behind Nioh. right behind me. As if it were my escort knight.

To think that a strong man who would be in the top 20 if we were to fight for rank in Masurim right now would be my escort. this is so reassuring

“Do you serve knights and demons?”

“… Niwang, what did you say to me?”

“right. Great man, I asked the knight. Do you serve the demons?”

“That’s right, but Oscar is not my lord.”

“Oh oh! I’ve heard from Irowell! A knight serving the horse! Death Knight!”

“… .”

Hey, our Beatrice has now gone from being a fallen paladin to becoming a death knight. A normal living human died and became a knight with only a skeleton left.

Should I go ahead and fix it? as a lord?

“Death Knight! Romance! stylish! The coolest monster, said Irowell!”

“I’ll definitely nail it, but I’m not a Death Knight… .”

pinch -.

“… It is correct. I am Death Knight. How, if you want, can I show you the Magi?”

“Ohhhhh! amazing! A demon from civilization! nice to meet! I am a human from the wild!”

“Nice to meet you too… . I wish you well in the future.”

In the Nioh’s delusion of being desirable, I pinched Beatrice’s buttocks to signal her. As expected of my faithful knight, Beatrice hesitated for a moment, then nodded and accepted that she was a Death Knight.

Since ancient times, innocence is something that must be protected unconditionally. Because children’s dreams are an absolute right that no one can take away.

Why is Inwang a child? I, Oscar, am now 209 years old. Inwang is a child who is barely reaching middle age. That’s why Irowell also always called Niwang a baby.

“Mr. Uriel, are you going to stop coming too? You will be seeing each other face to face from now on, but will you be away and hiding there forever?”

“hmm? Oh, got it. Leader.”

“what? Uriel you… .”

Uriel came out from behind a big pine tree. But, she is different from her usual appearance.

“Wings… Are you grown up?”

“… !”

A couple of white wings that always decorate Uriel’s back. We call them angel baby wings. The size is just small.

Not now. size has grown It’s not as much as when Uriel was an archangel, but when it’s in full bloom, it has grown to the point where you can see the skin protruding from the side of the shoulder even from the front.

“My wings have grown… ? Really… ! Huh, but uh, why… ?”

Even Uriel herself was unaware of that fact, so she stretched out her hand to her back and fumbled with the wings. And, I was genuinely surprised.

I skillfully opened my mouth.

“Ahahahahaha! My wings have grown, but what if I don’t know! Seriously, that sounds stupid!”

“Bah, stupid… ! Reckless!”

“Aren’t you too dull to refute? If I hadn’t told you, you wouldn’t have known until right before you looked in the mirror!”

“Kuh… !”

Uriel tries to deny it somehow, but he can’t deny it. Anyway, he’s a rotten angel. Isn’t that enough to change the name from an angel of destruction to an angel of mediocrity?

“still… I think you know why.”

“Why?”

“The reason why my wings grew… human king. My heart throbbed as the man shouted at the cliff. After that, my back felt numb. Maybe that’s when the wings grew.”

“Hmm?”

“The love of two people. It was truly noble. Seeing that noble love made my heart cry.”

Uriel stared at the Niwang and said that. Certainly, it was a beautiful story.

However, it didn’t come as a big inspiration to me as a demon, but did Uriel, an angel, take it differently? It can be enough. Michael gave me the name Uriel, because everyone must have had their own reasons.

Isn’t Uriel even a girl now? Originally, when I was a girl, everyone was begging for stories like romance novels. I can’t say anything about the excitement of the baby angel Uriel, who has degenerated like a girl even to his mental age.

“what… I know roughly. Congratulations on growing your wings. But it’s not that we don’t have enough time, right? Let’s go, shall we?”

Having said that, Uriel quickly stood at the head of our party. Whoa, look at that. You’re a total kid.

“Hey, Aru. Come through the bushes on your own.”

“… kong… .”

Aruya, well, it seems impossible to accompany him until he gets a little closer to the King.

however… .

From a while ago, why does the smell of insects vibrate in the forest?

It’s good enough to use. After all, the sky must be on my side. A grin broke out involuntarily.

*****

Returning to the hut, Yohan was organizing the things he had been fond of. Reposition the tables and arrange the chairs.

Of course, I couldn’t take the furniture with me. If left as it is, they will be broken by something someday.

It wasn’t even very special furniture. Items with memories of Yohan’s longing, Irowell, had exploded a long time ago during the ‘explosion’ in the past. The current hut and furnishings were cut as closely as possible to the ones Irowell had made while John was still alive after he was buried.

One, there is a law called calculation together. It was furniture that had been used for 20 years. Johan went out of the hut, trying to pick up the overflowing lingering feelings.

“Mr. John! Come on over here!”

“Ki-ing… young demons… I want to get up… .”

“Where is this crazy bastard going to be on his back, oh! Yumma! don’t you fall off? I’ll rub my back against the King!”

“Kee-ing, ki-ing… I want to hide in your back… !.”

“done! it’s okay! Really, because of you, Aru, I can’t live, I can’t live. Now, while doing it, he even forgot the owner’s waist. Is it good to ride on your master’s back?”

“Kong! huh!”

“… pup.”

Outside, John’s new companions were waiting for him. Johann stomped toward them and ran.

Purely, I was happy. Strangers who promised to bring them to ‘Civilization’. John had been feeling the excitement for the first time since the disaster at Irowell.

“Lick, lick, lick.”

“Ah! Don’t lick your hair! Your hair is broken!”

“What? But if you lick your neck, doesn’t it tickle you? Isn’t it hard to walk on the road if it tickles you?”

“hey! It’s just as hard to walk even if your hair is dirty!”

“That’s tough! Kwong Kwong Kwong! It’s not like you can’t walk!”

“Hmm, that makes sense logically. ok, mutt. Allow me to lick my hair. However, saliva should be buried in moderation. There is nothing as filthy as having a dog smell on your head.”

“Kong? Am I unclean!?”

“Aru, please respect the lord’s stature. No matter how lord’s pet you are, you seem very rude.”

“Ahahahaha, leave it alone. Are you having fun? The guy who laughs all the time is the only one who gets mad at the wolf king.”

A little, though noisy colleagues.

“hahahahaha!”

Rather, John laughed out loud. I didn’t like that light atmosphere. How many groups can be so cheerful in the magical forest where the law of the jungle is lurking in everything. It is Masurim where it is normal for people of the same race to attack each other and eat them if they are wrong.

Tumble, tumble-.

That’s how it was when John walked about 30 steps from the hut and joined the group of demons.

Chireuk-.

A strange sound penetrated John’s ears.

It was a sound I will never forget. It was the chirping of the giant bombworms, the occasional gigantic explosions that claimed Irowell’s life twenty years ago.

Bizarre-looking bugs emerged from among the bushes. Each one of them was a large insect that resembled a human body.

“Have you come again? Sick bastards.”

Since that day 20 years ago, Giant Bombworms have often visited John’s hut and set off explosions. Perhaps a higher-ranking monster had hinted at it, Johan guessed.

Until now, I used to annihilate the tribes that came to me, but this time I had no intention of doing that. He will leave anyway, and what they explode will become a meaningless hut. I thought it would be better to explode than to leave it as it is.

“Those worms… ?”

“These are the giant bombworms. Beatrice, you must have never seen it.”

“Since they are rare… .”

“Kyung-kwang, the smell is nasty.”

The group didn’t seem particularly upset. That would be the case, except for Uriel, everyone on the spot would not be harmed unless they properly received the giant bombworm’s explosion. Uriel is an angel who protects them all.

So, even if the bugs rush to the hut to self-destruct one by one, they try to go their own way with their bodies turned.

Tat-!

“Lord?”

“Leader!”

“A demon?”

A demon in a white suit suddenly turned and started running towards the hut. With the wolf king on his back.

No one thought to stop it. Because it happened so suddenly. Belatedly, the human knight, the angel girl, and John reached out their hands, but the demons had already disappeared into the hut. Giant bombworms rushing.

Chireuk-!

Kwaaang-!

Soon after, the bomb bugs that arrived at the hut started exploding one by one. Black smoke and red flames mixed together to create a huge explosion.

It was a huge explosion that shook the ground and blasted explosives into the sky.

Whii-.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

John, the human knight, and the girl angel hurriedly ran. Towards the remnants of the explosion rising innumerable ashes and smoke. They were in a state of astonishment at the unknown behavior of the demons.

No matter how much I searched the ruins that had become ashes, I couldn’t find the Demon. Whether injured or dead, at least a corpse should remain, the moment the trio’s worries grow like a snowball.

grasp-!

A tanned hand sticks out from the rubble. It was a gloved hand. Beatrice and John hurriedly took her hand and pulled her up.

“Eww! Ahh! I got ashes in my mouth!”

“Krrr… ! Why, why did you enter… !”

The ones that came along were masked demons and werewolf beastmen. The demons were spitting out black ash from under the mask.

“Why! Coke, I went in to get this!”

Chalang-.

I even lifted one of the left hands that the demon was buried in. At the same time, John’s eyes flashed open.

“Hey, how… !”

“Ah, I clearly put it in the hut earlier, but he didn’t come out with it. It would have been nice if I had thought of that a little earlier, but, of course, it comes to mind just before the bombworms attack. So I just ran.”

What the demons were holding was a silver rosary. It was the rosary that Saint Irowell had given to John, the king of men.

“Oh, thank you… ! really! Thank you very much! I made a big mistake! You have been greatly favored!”

“What. In a tough world, we have to help each other.”

“How precious this cross is, to leave it behind… ! fool, fool! I’m an idiot!”

“Everyone makes mistakes once in a while. It’s important not to do it two or three times. Take good care of yourself next time. by the way… .”

Handing over the rosary to the kneeling John’s thick hand, the demon touched the cross part of it.

Then, wouldn’t the upper part of the cross be opened as if the lid were opened?

“I guess this was originally a structure with a lid like this? I didn’t know because it was silver. I think it opened up in shock.”

“I didn’t know… But, there is a letter inside the cross… ?”

“A letter? Let’s read it right now! It was originally written by Mr. Irowell, so it must be a letter from Mr. Irowell! Left for John! Right before Mr. Irowell died, he handed over the cross to Mr. John!”

“… !”

Having heard that far, John hurriedly unsealed the letter. The neatly written letters were lined up in the finely unfolded old parchment.

It had been 20 years since I last saw him, but I could recognize John. It was Irowell’s handwriting.

“Irowell! Irowell, Irowell… !!”

The hand holding the letter trembled. The more John’s eyes scanned the contents of the letter, the more his eyes grew red.

The content of the letter was insignificant. It was just a few little things written for John, who will live alone.

How to cook various foods, where to go to easily gather edible plants, know-how when hunting, and… The structure of the oral cavity for each letter, etc., made not to forget the words.

John’s large eyes are wet. The traces of Irowell, which he encountered after 20 years, were for himself to be left alone. A trace of love unbroken by death.

“Kuuu… .”

He pursed his lips and let out a moan. Holding the letter in his heart, Yohan shed tears for the first time in a while.

“Oh, looking at the contents, it seems that it was written on the day Yohan was away for revenge. Is that why you entrusted the cross to Mr. John?”

“Yes, thank you. Thank you very much! If it wasn’t for you demons, I, I still wouldn’t be able to see this… !”

“Now that I’ve seen it, it’s okay. Don’t keep it in your mind. I was just doing what I was supposed to do as a colleague!”

Sobbing John. The demons smiled happily with John in front of them. The human knight, Beatrice, and the young angel, Uriel, were moved by the contents of the letter and stood still.

However, only one. Because there was a being staring intently at the demons with their eyes fixed on them.

‘Kong… ? I’m sure I saw it when I was riding on the back of a young demon… ? As the young demon runs out, the cross is taken out from between the gaps in the monster’s human clothes… ?’
