381 - - Episode 41 The End of Diablo

Hi-yah!!!!"

Diablo screams and runs away to the back of the first floor.

He is not fast, though he is flapping his hips and moving violently. I could have caught him lightly, but I didn't dare.

He heads toward the back of the first floor.

I kindly let him do as much as he wants, since it is his last desperate attempt.

(There must be a hidden passage or something to escape from the mansion anyway. (Even though Ellie's wards are up so he can't get out.)

I laughed at Diablo's final misstep and walked slowly onward.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

Hee hee hee ......!"

Diablo, nearly hunched over, heads for his office at the back of the first floor. There was a hidden passageway that had been handed down from generation to generation for escape in case of emergency.

The main entrance is blocked by the "Witch of the Giant Tower," so there is no way in or out.

Therefore, Diablo chose to escape through the hidden passageway.

Why?　How did this happen?

Diablo seriously laments his misfortune.

Why should I be the only one to suffer such an unreasonable fate?　Mee has worked hard to be as good as his brother and has shown tremendous loyalty to his territory, his people, and his nation. So why should Mee be the only one to suffer this misfortune?

I do not consider it at all wrong that he tried to kill Wright for his own personal gain, that he tried to kill Dirk using the "Assassination Executioner (Blow)," or that he sent his private army to the racial kingdom, even though he was forced to do so by the Volos.

If a demon race of the same kind is killed, I would at least sympathize with them.

However, no matter how many humans (inferior species) die, from Diablo's point of view, he is only moved by the death of an insect.

Nevertheless, he was resented for having unilaterally tried to kill a human (inferior species), whom he regarded as nothing more than an insect, in "The Abyss," and he came in to kill Diablo himself, a noble species with blue blood.

And with the "Witch of the Gigantic Tower", who goes around destroying nations one after another, as his subordinate, he himself has obtained the crazy strength of level 9999.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!　Where are you going?　Garou, Sasha, Nano, they are all waiting for Diablo in the depths of the Abyss!"

Don't come here!　You monster!

Light follows Diablo with a sneer.

He opens the thick door to his office and slides in, sobbing.

He locks it, though he understands it is futile.

Diablo jumps onto the bookshelf and drops book after book to the floor.

These books are precious to him, but he has no time to worry about them now.

He puts the books away, fiddles with the shelves, and removes a wooden shelf to reveal a hidden passageway behind it.

The door is closed by a metal door, unlocked, but if you pull on it, the door will open, leading to a secret passageway to the outside.

Diablo pulls open the metal door, as the oral tradition has been handed down from generation to generation.

There is a staircase leading to the basement, and he tries to go down it to get out.

What?　Why can't I get through!　There was some kind of transparent wall. ......"

Diablo opened the door and tried to pass through the hidden passage, but the transparent wall prevented him from descending the stairs.

He hit the transparent wall with all his strength, but it did not budge.

His knowledge as a magician led him to the answer.

Warding!　Oh, it's a witch!

Warding" ...... is a type of magic that can do many other things depending on the formula, such as preventing enemy attacks, preventing others from entering, and conversely, preventing people from getting out.

Ellie had put up wards not only over the entire mansion, but also over the loopholes and other places so that no one would be able to get out.

She is an important avenging partner of Light, to whom she swears absolute loyalty.

There was no way that Ellie would let him go.

d*mn it!　Shit!　d*mn it!"

Diablo frantically punched at the wards and tried to cast offensive magic, but it didn't budge him.

He gave up on the loophole, opened the window, and tried to get out.

What?　There are wards on the windows too!

The wards that Ellie had put in place covered the entire mansion, so naturally the windows were also covered.

Diablo, with tears in his eyes, punches the wards again, but they do not budge.

A knocking sound echoes.

"What?

Diablo was frantically punching the wards, but his ears clearly picked up this knocking sound.

It was a polite knock, just as Diablo had taught Wright in the past.

Next followed the sound of a door being opened with a clank.

Light calls out through the door.

'Diablo, I know you're in there.　Everyone in the former "Gathering of Tribes" is waiting for Diablo at the lowest level of the "Abyss. Could you please open it for me?"

No, I don't want to. Don't come, don't come, you monster-......!"

Diablo can't help but scream.

Through the door, Wright sounds heartily amused.

'Ha ha ha!　Don't be so sad. We can all get together again.

Rumble, rattle, rattle, rattle!

The door knob is twisted repeatedly in an attempt to open it.

Diablo almost went insane just hearing the sound.

(This really is like watching a nightmare, isn't it? ......)

But this is reality.

A mere door means nothing to a level 9999 light.

With a sound of destruction, the door is broken.

The light ripped the door off with force.

The clattering sound was just a stunt to scare Diablo.

Leaving the broken door behind, the light shows its face.

He says, "Ha-ha-ha-ha, I found you, Diablo."

Light had an innocent smile on his face, just like the one he had shown before diving into the "Abyss" dungeon about three years ago.

Back then, whenever Diablo saw that smile, he would say inwardly, 'You are a carefree child, unaware of our performance. He was just a human being (an inferior species), even though there was a high possibility that he would be killed in the future.

But now, I feel nothing but fear in the face of that smile.

Diablo backs away from the window and over the wall to the edge of the room to get as much distance from the lights as possible.

Don't come here!　I don't want to!　Help!　You monster!　Dasuke, I'm sorry, forgive me!　Help--"

Tears, snot, saliva, even his pants were wet, and he slumped down on the spot, pleading, rejecting, cursing, and apologizing repeatedly.

He was so terrified that the words coming out of his mouth were inconsistent.

In a sense, Light approached Diablo in a loving manner.

With a smile as full of life as an angel descending from the heavens, he pronounces, "I am the one who is going to make the world a better place.

Now, let's go to the "abyss" where everyone is together.

Noooooo!"　Geeaaaahhhh!"

"Transfer, release, to the lowest level of the abyss..."

Light grabs the crying Diablo and transfers him.

The two disappear from the Oval Office in an instant.

-Now there is only one more person to avenge.
