42 – Episode 42. Cherish your relationship.

The devil.

An absolute being that has shown off its power and existence by crossing multiple dimensions even before being introduced into this world.

As the name suggests, the Demon King’s Army is a force that serves the Demon King, and among them, the Four Heavenly Kings refer to the core executives who have led the Demon King’s army from the beginning of its establishment.

“The only time your b*tch appeared in public was when the Demon Lord’s army crossed the dimensional wall.”

When Phobia realized that one of the Four Heavenly Kings was in front of her, she began to recall a story she had once heard.

“The demon king’s army won the battle overwhelmingly, but I heard that there were quite a few casualties on the demon side as well. From the moment someone’s music began to be heard on the battlefield, not only the demons but also the humans lost their reason and became visible. “Because I ended up killing them all.”

A performance that makes all listeners go crazy and kill each other, regardless of faction.

Just by looking at her tragedy at the end, you can immediately see how dangerous she is.

“…You’re driving not only your enemies but also your allies crazy. It’s not something any sane person would do.”

Yes, she is on a different level from the other Four Heavenly Kings.

Others may end up saying she is ‘strong and cruel,’ but she was a being who could be called a ‘disaster’ in and of herself, as she drove the entire range of intelligent beings within her reach crazy.

“Puhuhuh.”

But even though her wariness was making her day, she only quietly laughed in front of him.

“What’s so funny?”

“I can’t help but laugh. I can’t believe they are so wary of me, who is just a lowly clown, based on just a rumor I heard…”

“…Are you saying that even after seeing what you’ve done here?”

Even though it drove the same demons crazy and caused them to destroy each other.

“Yes, I don’t know if you will believe it, but I am the weakest of the Four Heavenly Kings. Being second in rank is just a position I received because I served the Demon King even before the army was founded… “

Nevertheless, she didn’t mind, just smiled and continued her words.

There was no sign of any intention to deceive the other party.

“It’s ridiculous for a clown to stand on the battlefield in the first place, isn’t it?”

Her demons are beings who have been faithful to her own desires since her birth.

Therefore, Mephisto does not care much about her position or status.

Her only purpose was to act as a jester and make her master smile, and to her, her own strength and achievements were always out of the question.

“…… “You’ve done something like this and are still making such a fuss.”

“If you are not a demon, you will not understand. How do I feel about traveling? ….”

-Tiriring~♬

From noble mtl dot com

The lute strings in her hand pluck, quietly echoing in the scene of the tragedy.

A passionate moment passes by, and soon everything becomes heavy.

“I just travel and collect stories.”

-Tiring~♪

“I just paid attention to the places overflowing with desire that I encountered during my travels. Because I know that desire is the source of the most interesting stories…”

-Tiriring~♬

“… “I hope that the final stories written by those who will soon leave will be more passionate and beautiful.”

A poem played lightly.

To the extent of expressing her intentions in that way, she had no sense of guilt about her actions.

Whatever she does, she only incites the triggers she has encountered and overheats her situation.

“Did she get what she wanted by doing that?”

-Whoa.

A cold wind begins to blow through the dark forest.

“…… No, unfortunately. “I can’t believe that my lord will be happy with this.”

“So you’re saying you’re going to repeat this until you’re satisfied?”

-Bloody enemy!!

The cold wind gradually turns into a snowstorm, beginning to highlight the presence of the person wielding that power.

It is the spirit king’s protection.

A symbol of the contract between those who have the responsibility of protecting nature and those who establish order in this world.

“If that’s the case, are you going to stop me?”

“Of course.”

Even he may not be able to deal with this monster, but Phobia was still willing to risk her death.

Not only were her people like those who burned down her hometown, but she was also a being who did not shy away from massacre for her own purposes without a sense of guilt.

If we don’t stop it here, it may lead to even greater disaster someday.

“Regardless of your intentions, I will not remain silent if you try to do anything further than this. For my pride and for my compatriots…… !”

“…… “You’re brave, you.”

A mad clown who encountered such a being.

Immediately, he threw the lute in his hand to the floor and stretched out his arms.

“Let us pay you a small tribute to your courage and give you an award.”

“What…” ….”

“Now, kill me.”

The moment when the murderous intent hesitated due to such a proud attitude.

But she was confident.

She doesn’t exert any magical power, and just swings her hand and she comes within touching distance, exposing her own neck.

“You b*tch, are you planning to deceive me?”

“Does it seem like I’m trying to do something? Is there anyone who can react right away if they sense it?”

Yes, she doesn’t have any intentions before her.

Really.

As if I had decided to give up my head right here.

“…Mr. Phobia. As you know, I have followed the Demon King through many worlds and destroyed many of them. The more the Demon King took pride in that, the more happily I became loyal to him. “

Still, in response to her doubts, she tried to explain her intentions in a casual way.

The days when I held her hand when she was just a beggar on the street, and reigned from the bully on her street to the loser on her battlefield.

At the end, he became the ruler of a world, and even though he was not satisfied with that, he looked back on the glorious days when he moved on to a new world.

“But it was only the first time I had fun. Intoxicated by the glory of victory, he even crossed dimensions in search of something more valuable……. “It was so repetitive that at some point I just felt bored.”

No matter how strong your desire is, it will fade at some point.

The Demon King was no exception to that rule, and from a certain point on, he felt only boredom as his desires were not satisfied.

In order to please her lord who had lost her smile, she focused only on collecting her stories while traveling through the world she entered, even when her demon lord army was going to war.

“Can you imagine? What does it mean for a clown who has lived only to make his master laugh, living with a sense of duty to make his master who has lost his smile laugh?”

But the devil does not laugh.

No matter what performance he performs, he never smiles. The same applies to performing amazing stunts.

“It is said that demons are loyal, plunder, and willing to submit for the sake of their desires… But if you decide that you cannot make your desires come true, you will lose the will to live.”

Nevertheless, she continued to repeat her meaningless journey because she still missed the days she spent with him.

Leading only a heart that is already worn out and worn out…….

As I prepare deep in my heart for the ‘time of rest’ that will come someday.

“…Would you believe me if I told you that that moment has finally arrived?”

I did not care how I would greet the time of rest that would come, or by whose hands it would be accomplished.

If I were to stop breathing, I hope it would be now.

Now, I realized that I could no longer enjoy even the provocative stages like before, even with fake laughter.

“…Mephisto Rage.”

Phobia was able to guess that it was not a lie.

Demons are beings who are faithful to their desires and live for them.

If what I’m saying now is a lie, I would have been able to sense the signs that came from the wriggling of such desires.

“If you have truly lost your will to fight, I will kill you right here.”

But now that I have given up on hiding my true feelings,

On the other hand, her face even looked relaxed as she faced her own end.

“I, too, have been covered in a lot of blood, so I don’t blame you for what you’ve done. It’s just that my faction could be in danger because you’re alive, so I just want to block that possibility in advance……”

Towards such a clown, Phobia simply gave a sentence indifferently.

Without resentment or pity.

She just has the sole intention of erasing from this place anyone who stands in the way of her responsibility.

“Are you really not regretting your current choice?”

Nevertheless, in response to his request for assurance, fearing that he might act on her whim, she closed her eyes with her arms still spread out.

“Not anymore. I don’t know if it was just before…”

Only one shiny leaf caught my eye during the long journey.

That remains in my memory to this very moment, but even so, I regret my foolishness in passing it over, thinking it was insignificant.

“…Then there’s no need to drag it out.”

No matter what, the moment when a devil who feels neither guilt nor love towards others gives up his head.

Her judge, who had finally allayed her cold wind, aimed her guillotine-like claws at her and pronounced her sentence.

“Goodbye, Mephisto Rage.”

Eyes closed to the sound of cutting through the air.

In the darkness that came, she tried to recall the person she remembered with her last remaining consciousness.

‘….Hyosung.’

Despite the long years spent with the Demon King, what comes to mind at this moment is the face of a man.

The time I spent with him was very short and insignificant, but even so, I thought that the smile I made in front of him was genuine and not fake.

Because he was such a comfortable being.

I felt my heart, which had been so empty, gradually become excited.

‘Why do I keep missing you so much?’

So, if there really is such a thing as an afterlife.

I hope that I can also allow myself the hope of meeting him there even though I cannot see him again on this earth.

-Boom!!

At the end, the body falls to the floor due to the shock that hits the body with a loud noise.

But I didn’t feel any pain, like my body was being torn apart alive.

The front foot passed through the air and struck a nearby tree, and my body, which was out of range, fell down while being hugged by the body of someone who broke in at some point…….

“What, what…?” ….”

Who the hell is this?

If I had just taken one step forward, I could have ended this empty journey that I decided to give up.

“… Meryl.”

I resent him.

At this moment, I felt myself drowning in the voice tickling my ears.

“Marilyn, Mr… ….”

Familiar……

It was a voice that I could not forget beyond him.

Even though our breakup was only for a moment, even that moment was enough time to forget what we had encountered.

“Hyo, your last name?”

“Thank goodness.”

A body covered in blood with heavy breathing.

Despite the fact that he had suffered countless shocks and was completely unharmed, there was relief written on his face as he faced me.

As if to teach us that we were not the only ones swayed by the anxiety of never seeing each other again.

“Yes, I’m really glad you’re safe… ….”

At the end, after confirming his survival, the man runs out of strength and knocks down his head.

Mephisto, feeling the weight, suddenly realized that his hands were covering his back.

“Mr. Hyosung.”

It is alive.

The feeling I feel in this hand.

The pulsation and warmth felt from it prove it.

“Hyosung, Mr. I was alive…….”

I was not forgotten even in the moments leading up to my end.

He said that the meeting he had trivialized came to him miraculously at this moment.

-Cow!!

But the situation is not conducive to such relief.

The judge’s gaze, realizing that his previous attack had missed, soon began to turn towards the devil who had embraced the uninvited guest.

“…… Human.”

The leader of the Anti-Human Coalition.

As the name of the force suggests, it is an entity that defines humans as its utter enemy.

“Did that man save you?”

He gradually aims his murderous intent towards him, and begins sharpening his heavy claws.

‘No.’

As soon as he faced it, he felt impatience overtake him.

I don’t know why.

But the person I carelessly let go of came back again.

‘This person is not allowed. Just this person…….’

Ferocious spirit.

The moment when Phobia’s body shrank from the hostility that she was not even aware of.

I tried to emit coldness again in response, but even that soon subsided as soon as I faced her face.

Somehow, up until now, I had no regrets about my life and had resigned eyes.

To the devil, who finds even the madness emitted by the military trivial, what meaning does that man have that he gives off that look in his eyes?

“… “Stop it.”

Phobia soon understood the meaning, drew her own conclusions, and withdrew her own power.

And she turned her back on the spot.

He didn’t hesitate to reveal his true identity to someone who might kill him.

“You’re quitting, what on earth…?” ….”

She said, “It is not profitable to prepare for an all-out war with the Four Heavenly Kings.” “If it was before, you wouldn’t be an easy opponent now.”

A sudden change in attitude.

Phobia quietly responded to the clown’s words, which were holding his breath.

“If I were to rush in, you would give everything to protect that man. “Am I wrong?”

I flinch.

The hands holding his body twitch.

A reaction that you may not even be aware of.

No matter what her circumstances were, he realized that something ‘impossible’ had happened, and he quickly withdrew his interest in her.

“Be lucky that your guy is heteros*xual. “If the person you fell in love with was a female like you, I would have rushed at her too, risking my life.”

“What do you mean, falling in love? What on earth does it mean… !”

From noble mtl dot com

“It means cherishing the relationship that brought you to where you are today.”

Yes, in his voice disappearing into the darkness at this moment.

There was something that could be called ‘expectation’, even if only slightly.

“And if it’s sincere, prove it somewhere.”

“You demons who live crazy with desire are also a race that knows how to love someone, just like animals like me.”

-Whoa.

Phobia Homer disappears beyond the forest with a cold wind.

As soon as the shadow disappeared from sight, the pressure that had weighed down the space evaporated like a lie.

“What are you saying?”

But what happened here has already happened.

At the moment, with only the cold wind stroking his skin, Mephisto looked down at the man in his arms and placed his hand on his chest.

“What on earth are you talking about? You.”

Feeling the quietly beating heart that proves he is alive.

-Thump, thud!

Just by feeling that beat, it gradually gets bigger.

I was asleep the whole time, feeling my emotions rising.
