desire

For a long time, I blankly watched as the source’s power was absorbed into the crown.

Now that I close my eyes, all I can see is the crown.

The passage of time was unaware.

how long has it been

Just now, the power of the last source was absorbed into the crown.

ridge-

The sound of drums is heard.

Not with ears, but with soul.

The sound of the drum, which is not so loud, forms a wave and spreads widely. Endless with momentum that will fill my soul.

Soo-wook-

The magic spirit contained in the crown and the power of the source mix and enter my head.

‘This feeling… … .’

When I played the role of a saint, when I healed everyone’s body that I longed for, the feeling comes back.

omnipotence.

Yes.

At this moment, I was feeling that transcendental sensation once again.

However, this time, not to the sick, but to the magic beasts.

It felt like I was holding all the demons in my hands.

Drunk with that feeling, I opened my mouth.

From my open mouth, not the usual voice, but the mixed power of the source and the demonic power came out.

[Obey.]

It wasn’t something I was thinking about.

Because I don’t like that kind of talk.

It just instinctively came up with words that would suit the situation well.

But the effect of the words spoken was astounding.

‘Is this domination… … .’

All of the demons stopped moving and looked at me.

And I could feel the rituals of those witches one by one.

Even though I close my eyes, no, maybe I can see it more clearly because I close my eyes.

I feel like I’ve become a god.

If I say ‘die!’ as if joking around, all of those monsters will kill themselves.

‘It’s no joke.’

As if bound by an irresistible dictum, they all awaited my next command.

So I opened my mouth.

This time with words of my own choosing.

[Kneel.]

When the word mixed with demonic spirit and the power of the source came out one more time, the magic beasts bowed their heads at me.

This is the level of the Demon King.

Of course, what I did now would be distinctly different from what the demon king, the transcendental being, uttered directly.

Because the ‘domination’ I use cannot go beyond the limits of the crown made by Kater.

‘I’m at this level, but the demon king… … .’

I feel tired.

The demon lord’s ‘domination’ will reach a much wider range and much stronger than I did, and the things within the demon lord’s domain will have no choice but to follow his orders, regardless of demons and demons.

– The demon king’s dominance is on a different level from that of our human kings. If an order is given to die, the one ordered must die.

I think I can understand Kater’s words now.

Compared to that, my ‘control’ now is at the level of a child.

But I’m not disappointed.

For now, it is enough just to control the monsters of this battlefield.

When I open my eyes, I see people with their mouths wide open, which I couldn’t see when I closed them.

Arlene, who was closest to me, asked while holding my hand.

“… Are you okay, brother?”

“okay.”

“Is this all your brother did?”

“yes.”

“that… Is it the power of the crown?”

Not only that, but he just nodded.

“Yeah, by the way, there’s something I need to go to right now.”

“where?”

“I found the culprit behind this sadal.”

At that time, Kerbell, who did not know when he came here, approached me. Then he looked at the magic beasts with a tense face and asked.

“Hero, what will happen to them?”

Whatever happens, of course, as I command.

I unleashed the power of the crown once more.

[Stay here like this until I return.]

I grinned at Kerbel, who was staring blankly at me.

“You are resting. You will be quiet until I return.”

He patted him on the shoulder and walked forward. Then Aline follows and asks.

“Can I wait here?”

I was worried that he would ask to go with me again, but after all, Aline is Aline.

“I’ll be back soon.”

“Yeah, don’t get hurt.”

“okay.”

Walking among the beasts lying on the floor, he signaled to Cater to follow him.

I screamed as I watched him cling to me.

“The fight here is over! Everyone please rest!”

After that, I hit the ground and ran.

Carter, who caught up with me before I knew it, was running alongside me.

* * *

The silent battlefield where Martin left.

Kim Jung-moon murmured.

“What the hell is this all about… … .”

Originally, he was a superhuman whose hearing was incomparably better than that of ordinary people, and since the space itself was so quiet, everyone listened to his words.

Kerbell, who had been absent-minded, laughed at this.

“As expected, the person born of the hero is the person born! No, now that you are also a saint, should we all call you a hero?”

The tension melts away at Kerbell’s nonsense.

Superhumans on the battlefield immediately flocked to the person who could best explain the situation.

“What happened?”

In response to James’ question, Alice recounted a conversation she had with Martin in the cave.

“… That’s how it happened.”

“her! To think that Kater would create such a monster… … .”

James was one of the few people who knew of Carter’s past.

“But shouldn’t I dry it?”

“Well?”

Kerbel was pointing somewhere with her finger.

Leon is staggering at the place he pointed to.

That direction was where Martin had just disappeared.

James quickly walked up to Leon and grabbed his shoulder.

“Stop it.”

“… You said you were going to find the culprit. There is no way that an existence strong enough to mobilize these magical beasts is weak. I have to go help my lord.”

“What can I do with that body now?”

Wait a second, Leon’s eyes twitched.

However, his eyes soon became determined.

“Anything. I’ll even do a shield.”

James shook his head, thinking that he was like a child he taught, but he was so unnecessarily naive.

“If you needed strength in the first place, you would have taken me or the Executor. Don’t you know?”

“… Are you saying you don’t need strength?”

“okay.”

“Then what do you need now?”

“I don’t know. Perhaps it has something to do with the ability to subdue those demons like this?”

“… … .”

The phrase was correct, so Leon couldn’t open his mouth.

“And there are already strong people out there that we don’t have to go to.”

Leon asked with his eyes wide open.

“Is the head of the household gone?”

“… The Sword Saint has gone.”

“ah… … .”

“You used to be strong, but you seem to have gotten stronger after living here for a few years. So trust me and leave it to me.”

Leon couldn’t help but nodded his head.

However, his fists were clenched so tightly that no blood flowed through them.

‘I have to become stronger.’

That’s why I want to become a person who can become the master’s strength at any time.

had such a will.

And James looked at Leon like that and smiled happily.

‘I guess I don’t have to worry anymore.’

The tired guy who couldn’t even control his body is showing a strong will as if he could breathe fire with his eyes.

It is true that I can look forward to how quickly he will grow in the future, as his disciple, who is already overflowing with talent, has found his way.

But now Leon had other things to do.

“Get some rest for now.”

James puts his hand between Leon’s shoulder and neck.

When his hand touches, Leon’s eyes slowly close.

James shouted as he hugged his son-like disciple.

“Let us take it easy too!”

* * *

The Sword Saint, which was moving while stepping on the sky, landed on the ground.

In front of him stood a purple-skinned man and a mannequin-like white beast, the same size and shape as a human, but without eyes, nose, or mouth.

The purple man smiled and opened his mouth.

[Did you find me? That’s great, stranger.]

“Are you a demon by any chance?”

The purple man’s smile grew even wider.

A tearing mouth.

It’s smiling, but it’s a terrible face to look at.

However, the swordsman shook his head with a calm face.

Because that smile was enough for the answer.

“Did you control the witch beasts too?”

[right.]

“It doesn’t look as strong as I thought.”

Rather, it was the white magic beast that bothered me.

The demonic power of the White Demon Beast, which was faintly felt, was more than that of the Gorilla King.

The reason why the swordsman visited this place in the first place was because of the unusual magic emitted by the white demon.

The reason why that weak-looking demon can be so powerful is probably because that white demon is here.

[Power is not important in this world. That’s not what determines whether you’re strong or weak.]

“Then what does it matter?”

[Qualification.]

“Qualification?”

[The important thing is whether you have the qualifications to become the owner of this sword that our king left behind.]

A sword was stuck in front of the demon.

The Sword Master looked at the sword and frowned.

‘Why didn’t I know there was such a sword?’

I am just amazed when I see this. It’s a great sword that reminds me of the sword I threw away in the dungeon on Earth.

However, the swordsman didn’t even know the sword was there until the demon spoke out. Even though the sword was right in front of the demon.

The demon nodded as if he knew everything about the sword castle’s situation.

[That’s proof that you don’t deserve it.]

Sureureung – The sword is pulled out of the scabbard.

The swordsman pointed his sword at the demon and said.

“It doesn’t matter if you deserve it or not, it’s over once you get the head off.”

[Khahaha! You’re more like a demon than a demon! It’s like a human who turned the devil’s world upside down!]

The Sword Master drew his sword at the small and large demons.

Kkang-

The Sword Master twitched his eyebrows at the unexpected sound.

‘Did you block the empty sword?’

An air sword, the swordsman’s secret technique, that strikes enemies regardless of distance.

Even the gorilla king didn’t even know that the attack was flying until he was hurt on the cheek, and the secret skill was blocked.

And even that, not by the Demon Tribe he wanted to kill, but by the White Demon Beast.

‘Is this the first time since Yeomma?’

At some point, the face of the white demon that moved in front of the demon and blocked the sword turned to the arm.

A forearm cut in half.

However, the white demon didn’t care and shook his arm, and the wound healed in an instant.

[Khahaha! Am I just going to take this one with me!]

The swordsman thought that it was definitely worth saying that.

He even smiled brightly.

“It’s just fine.”

The fight with the demon was too futile.

No attack could pierce the fire that enveloped his body.

But I assure you, it’s not that much.

Although he recovered quickly, he clearly suffered a wound that cut his arm in half.

And for the Sword Saint, that was enough.

“Wait there.”

The Sword Master, who showed a lively smile at the demon, moved his hand.

Shu Shu Shu Shuk-

A sword of the Sword Master that draws an afterimage in an instant.

Dozens of air swords slashed through the space and headed for the white demon.

* * *

I moved quickly towards the target with Kater.

“Thank you for the crown.”

[…] It wasn’t made specifically for you.]

“anyway.”

Did you call this a tsundere in Korea?

[What did you find anyway?]

“When I used the crown. It’s kind of like saying this, but I felt like a god. Shouldn’t it be said that the demonic beast, which would normally be out of sight, was vividly visible?”

[…] therefore?]

“Don’t look at me with such envious eyes.”

[Never!]

no, what

“Anyway, looking at it like that, there was something unpleasant about it.”

[Anything embarrassing?]

“Yes, there were traces of ‘domination’ other than me. I tracked it down and finally figured it out. I’m going to follow that trail now. It’s not too far.”

[…] To use domination, you must know how to deal with karma. Then, isn’t there a high probability that the one we are going to is a Transcendentalist?]

“That’s not right.”

What was at the end of the trail was definitely some kind of tool.

Like the crown I’m wearing right now… … .

“It’s probably a better thing than this crown.”

[…] Does it allow you to deal with karma on your own?]

“No, there is no such thing as a function. just… It would be correct to say that the object itself possesses the power of the demon lord.”

[Like Apollo’s Palace?]

“right.”

It takes no karma to handle Apollo’s palace, which is clearly a divine weapon. It’s just that I have to use ‘floating’ to maintain my sanity.

It is because the power of Apollo is inherent in the palace of Apollo.

A look of curiosity creeps over Carter’s face.

other emotions too.

[Well… That’s a huge thing.]

I aroused his feelings.

“What do you think? Wouldn’t it be great if you had that?”

The name of that emotion was desire.
