"Then I'll go now. I don't think I can be in this world anymore."
Benigor said with a faint smile.
Her body gradually became transparent.
It was intuitive that the end was just around the corner.
"Be careful."
Before it disappeared, Benigor opened his mouth looking at the rain.
What do you want me to be careful about?
Even before the question arose, her words followed.
"If Guyana's condition deteriorates like this... there will be a god outside this world."
"……."
"I owe it to Guyana to help you, but I'd rather not expect that from them."
What I was expecting.
The rain nodded.
"I'll keep that in mind."
In fact, knowing doesn't change anything.
In the first place, there is no fundamental solution in itself.
No, I have, but I can't choose.
Because the demon of prophecy who was the starting point of all problems was himself.
'I can't sacrifice my neck to save the world.'
There are many people in the world.
Among them will be heroes who willingly sacrifice their lives for the sake of many.
'But.'
At least he's not that kind of man.
I struggled to survive even when I fell to hell without knowing the English language.
Ruined, desperate, miserable.
But you came all the way here to sacrifice your life to save the world?
"Bullshit."
I will survive at any cost.
It was a simple matter.
If it is a matter of the beings in the outer dimension coming from his existence, you can kill them all.
I can't even dare to come.
"Then... please take good care of this world. I don't know if we'll see each other again, but I hope there's a good outcome."
Benigore's body became completely transparent and disappeared.
Rain smiled at the feeder. God prayed, something ironic.
'The concept of God as we know it is different from that of the real God.'
It means that the providence of the universe is not established under the rule of the only Almighty God.
There were gods, there were disputes between them, and there was rank. It has personality and characteristics.
'They are not complete.'
Then we can fight, we can kill.
No, no, no, no.
'You could eat it.'
Rain smiled.
I looked down at my hand.
With my eyes closed, I felt the power that the god of the world gave him.
'Not bad.'
In fact, it did not reach what I expected to be the power of God.
Magi stats were so high that they didn't even get the effect of increasing stats properly.
But the gift I gave you anyway.
I am not in a position to complain because the effort I put into obtaining this power is close to zero.
'It's a kick-ass gift, if it's true.'
The Magi stats obtained by capturing Marmon were only 5.
Considering that the higher the stat, the harder it is to raise it, even if you eat another Grand Duke, it is not clear whether 5 rises equally.
'No other stats are meaningless.'
Increasing the absolute value by 10 is not the same as applying the legendary grade equipment.
The rain turned with a satisfactory smile.
I felt the look on him in the light.
"Thank you, boys."
The reason Benigor gave me this kind of strength was the help of his colleagues, including Kim Si-hun.
'You have to live your normal life.'
None of them falsely appealed to Benigore.
It did not appear to have the ability to allude to all falsehoods, but it must have been a clumsy false appeal.
Nevertheless, the reason she didn't suspect it was because everyone here felt genuine trust in the rain.
'Honestly, I'm a little moved.'
It wasn't enough to reddish my eyes, but I felt warm in my chest.
The time he came to Earth is short. It's been over a year now.
But the relationship that has been built between them is incomparable to hell.
Even in Hell, there were some men who blindly trusted him, but there was a limit to emotional interaction with them.
"No. You must have noticed the nature of your brother even if we didn't step out."
'You shouldn't have noticed.'
"The goddess must have realized how warm Mr. Rain is."
'You don't seem to know.'
"I wanted you to help me defeat the demon of prophecy like this..."
'Jesu-san, then I'm screwed.'
"Haha! Isn't this all because of you?!"
'Well, I tried so hard to be bloody.'
Colleagues handing over a word.
It was a fuzzy scene that might come out of the movie, but the heart of the rain had a bit of a conscience build-up.
'You're supposed to climb the end credits here.'
If so, how neat it would have been.
I sighed and turned around.
"I'm going to leave for a while."
"Rain, where are you going?"
"I'm going to try to get the power of this king."
"I want to come with you."
Echidna grabbed his sleeve.
Rain nodded and grabbed her hand.
"……."
I felt Kim Shi Hun staring at his back.
Suddenly, he looked down at his hand with a dark expression.
'Oh, Sihun.'
It is not difficult to guess why he has that look.
'You're having a hard time.'
An examination that does not hold a sword.
The helplessness he was feeling was hard to imagine.
But before his eyes, the respected brother received the power of God.
'You'll think it's getting further and further away.'
It was also undeniable.
Rain was getting stronger faster than he thought.
To regain all the power of the past, not far beyond him.
Even though Kim Shi Hoon is talented, it's a relative problem.
The deprivation he was feeling would have reached a serious level.
'I need to use my hands.'
I can't stand to watch.
I didn't think Kim Shi Hoon would fall here, but at least the schedule for pushing his back should be the same.
"Let's go."
I turned around with Echidna.
It wasn't something I could do right now.
'After a little more time.'
When Kim Shi Hoon became more desperate and miserable.
When you squeak at a broken body with your hands so broken that you can't use them.
'I aim for that time.'
* * *
[Phew, Phew.]
Balak clutches his chest and exhales roughly.
The surrounding earth melted and pressed against the fire. An intense heat swept around with mequehan smoke.
Balok fell to the ground and trembled at the full rate.
[sighs, sighs]]
He turned his gaze to the rains of awe.
I saw the rain wrapped around a fiery yellow flame like a tent.
[You are also the Demon King.]
"Well…."
Despite the praises of Valoc, the rains shed their immersion.
He stares at the fiery yellow flame that rises above his palm.
'I'm not expecting it.'
The power of fire was not below expectations.
What he was disappointed in was himself.
'I never thought it would be such a hard power to handle.'
I have never used Grand Duke's power before.
He wasn't a genius. I didn't have the ability to memorize swords and perfectly spread them like Kim Si-hun.
666 powers were available, but there were some of the reasons why they were most frequently used to familiar powers.
[Hmm? Anything uncomfortable?]
"I don't like it very much. I didn't think Mamon's power would be so hard to handle."
[But if you look at it as a battle now..]
"You didn't do everything you could, did you?"
[…….]
A stabbing horse.
Balok sighs and nods.
"Tell me the truth. How was it?"
[I felt weaker than the Demon King. Of course, Magi itself is almost as dark as before..]
"This is clumsy."
[Yes.]
Valoc spoke.
[I can't give you the exact answer, but I certainly felt more clumsy than Marmon.]
"I see."
Nod.
There was no reason to regret it. Marmon has been dealing with the power of fire for tens of thousands of years.
No wonder I couldn't handle power better than that.
"I'm going to have to put you into practice for a while."
Until now, being a trainee meant nothing to him.
Because it wasn't hard to get better with repeated exercises.
But things have changed.
I had to deal with the power of fire enough to use it in combat, even if it wasn't like Marmon.
[If the king commands, I will follow any orders.]
Balok laughed.
"How's the scar?"
[Much better. Naturally, in the next few days, it will be better.]
Rain bites the thumb.
Black blood flows as the flesh is ripped out.
"Drink it."
[… not even the power of regeneration. Anyway... naturally.]
"Don't bullshit me. I can see it hurts when I move violently."
[…….]
Balok kept his mouth shut.
He whimpers like a weep, snorts, and then hugs the rain roughly.
[Mahoney!!!]
"Argh! Get off, get off, you bastard!!"
A five-metre giant covered in muscles hugs him.
It's strong. It's rainy, so even if it's okay, I can't stop the smell.
The horrible smell emanating from the gloomy muscles overwhelmed him.
[Hahahahaha!! It is my life's honor to serve the Demon King!]
"Baloch, it's lethal. I want to be with you."
I even hugged Echidna, who was watching quietly.
'Is this heaven and hell?'
The rains closed their eyes as they felt a feeling of tea coming from both sides.
Time has passed.
* * *
Thank you!
"Ha ha! Ha ha!"
A rough breath vomited.
The sword that escaped from Kim Shi-hoon's hand rolled over the floor.
I hesitate. Tears flow down my cheeks.
I love you...
Voice.
I heard a tiresome voice.
I grip my mouth. I feel nauseous.
The red demon mask looks at him and laughs.
"Argh, ugh."
Moaning flowed.
Three months since I was immersed in training without even forgetting to sleep to catch my sword again.
Nothing has changed.
It didn't get any better.
Still, he does not hold the sword.
"Aaaaaaaaaah!!!"
I was desperate. I slammed my fist and slapped my head.
The back of the rains, where you can see the wind. It was getting further and further away.
I can't see it anymore.
It's dark.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Boom, boom.
I yelled at him with my head in my hand.
I grabbed the sword by biting my lips to bleed out.
Thank you.
The sword that escaped from his hand bounces to the ground.
* * *
"Oh, you're ready."
Beyond the walls of the training room, the rain that was watching the howling Kim Si-hun shines.
'It's time for awakening.'
If it's heroes that bloom in despair.
"You can create despair."
Rain smiled.
