Chapter 772 – Unfulfilled Dreams.

‘It’s such a simple thing.’
The warmth you feel in your hand.
All you have to do is cool this warmth.

There is a way to make your wish come true.
With just a little powerful magic, you can achieve your longing with your own hands.

Even the gods, whom he had thought were nothing more than illusions, were helping him.

Alfred didn’t hesitate.

…It had to be.

‘Now.’

I shouted in my heart that I had to do it.
However, magic did not manifest at his fingertips.

The body stiffens.
What comes to mind is the usual appearances of Dia and Rius.

‘Dia Artes Slip. He is a diligent student who always sets an example for others, and is popular with both men and women, so he is often confessed to.’

He always stays up late to practice his sword.
Rather than relying on a wealthy family, he tries to stand alone by receiving a scholarship.

‘Rius Pleus. The only child of a commoner family. A child who doesn’t have many friends and is especially looked down upon by bloodlines.’

Recently, rumors have spread that he is Dre’s disciple, and bloodline students do not dare to touch him, but his attitude has not changed at all.

As far as Alfred knew, a student named Reus was a good student who always thought hard and tried his best.

‘What was it like?’

What is the student like?

In the first place I didn’t do it because I liked teaching.
I chose this job because I can logically express my claim to the world.

Mother’s Thesis of God.
In order to claim the knowledge that everyone laughs at as an absurd delusion as reality.

In order to make his words persuasive and authoritative, he tried to make every action look perfect.
Those years are decades.

With a little bit of effort, your goal will be achieved.
Decades of hard work are rewarded and dreams come true.
But what are you hesitating about when it comes to the lives of two students you don’t usually talk to each other?
It’s not a situation where you have to devote an entire school year like the last time, just the two of you.

‘Let’s dedicate it.’

After her sacrifice, she gave all of her possessions to the precious people of these boys and girls and let them be punished.

Remember your mother
The resentment of that excellent mother who suffered until death and died without anyone recognizing it.

“…”

However, Alfred was unable to manifest his magic in the end.

I grabbed the back of my neck and poured out the darkness, but the darkness did not advance and went out.

“Oh, Instructor Alfred?”
“…”

Dia who is confused and Rius who looks nervous

Alfred snorted to himself.

‘What is it? You.’

Wasn’t that the situation you wanted so much?
But why stop
Maybe because I took a vitamin drink earlier?

Does receiving such a cheap thing dampen a decades-long craving?

Poo-!!

“Ugh…!”

The intangible flew in and kicked Alfred in the side with all his might.
Alfred fell to the ground feeling several of his ribs go out, but a smile hung on his lips.

Intangible felt uncomfortable for nothing.

And even in that situation, Frogle, the demon king of analysis, was ‘analyzing’ the war situation.

Analysis.
Students’ emotional state and perception of peers. And considering the means of attack, it is Alfred that is optimized for killing those kids.

Before I could convince that indecisive human, I had to make the war even a little bit more advantageous.

“Bills!!”

Frogl fired his magi at Bills.
At the same time, Darkness of Darkness also flew to Vils and dwelled on him.

The body of Bills, who had been helpless by the support of the two demon kings, expanded greatly.

“Keuaaaaa!”

The wounds received are regenerated all at once.

His hair, which had been like thorns, now stretched out as if it would pierce the world, and swayed like tentacles, and his claws and fangs were filled with fiery magic.

Having been helplessly trampled by the party of warriors, he began to push against the five.

“Huh!”

Garcinido faced Bills without retreating at all.

The party of experienced warriors who received Kite’s memories all knew that this strengthening was only temporary.
If you hold out a little bit, Seung-gi will come this way.
If you hold on, Kitz will unleash an attack that can kill all these demon lords within one second.

And while Bills was rampaging, Frogl spoke to Alfred, who had fallen to the ground.

[Dedicate those children!]
“…”

Alfred, who was lying sprawled in the fall, slowly opened his eyes.

His body had already been restored to its optimum state by the time demon lord’s magic, but Alfred didn’t have the energy to lift a finger.

Progle gnashed his teeth.

[Do you think this opportunity will come again?]
“…”
[There is only now! If you want to achieve your secret wish, throw away your emotions!!]

I know without saying
Alfred had to choose.

Give up humanity
Give up your dream

Alfred’s face twisted at the words of the demon king, who had a high level of pride.

“Asmodians… Don’t give me orders.”

Frogl growled at the roaring yet powerless voice.
[I can’t find any impatience. Was the desire for your dream only that much?]
“Dare…”

Feeling insulted, Alfred’s eyes lit up.

[We are also in a hurry. Let’s stop looking for each other, I swear. In the name of Frogl, the Demon King of Analysis, I will surely make your wish come true. So kill those kids-!!]

Before Alfred could answer, the sun rose in the sky.

Flash-!

“Oh ah ah !!”

The sun shining in the sky burned Frogl.
The aftermath of her attack, which Kitz threw at her Twiga, burned her.

And in between.
Someone was standing next to Alfred, who had fallen to the ground.

It was Dre.

“…”
“…”

Two silent men.

“Did you come to finish me off? That would be fine.”

Alfred laughed as if he had to, and Dre twisted his lips.

“It’s your intention, anyway, since you didn’t act after all, I won’t kill you either.”
“Are you going to leave me alone like this? Then I… Will kill you for my dream.”
“I can’t.”
“…”

Alfred put on a dumbfounded expression at the tone that was even resolute.
Dre said while looking at Rius and Dia.

“You are a teacher after all.”
“Are you being sarcastic?”

Are you laughing at yourself for being clumsy in a critical situation?

But Dre shook her head.

“Whether you preserve your humanity or choose your dreams. You are free.”

Alfred opened his mouth.
Last time he understood Dre.
This time Dre understood him.

Dre said that and threw a space sword around Alfred.
A sword strike to protect him, not to restrain him.

Dre ran straight after Bills.
Alfred blankly looked up at the sky.

Can not?
Teacher after all?
To choose one, dream or humanity?

I was full of spirits.
Of course, it is obvious that you will choose your dream.

How many years do you think you suffered?

“Geuuuuu…!”

Kwaaaaang!!

Alfred’s darkness broke the space sword.

I’ll do it.
I will kill the students with these hands.

I will restore her mother’s honor.
Alfred disappeared and watched the two boys and girls fighting beside Bills.

To stop breathing at any time.

And there were those who looked upon it. It was Kitz.

“No matter how much you are, do you lose sight of me in front of me?”

Damn it.

The sky splits
Twiga grabbed the air and pulled it.

To stop it, Kitz spewed Ryunar to seal the sky and keep Twiga in check. The intangible suddenly appears behind the demon king and unfolds the mental system.

However, Twiga flew like a rocket and avoided being swallowed by the Deep World.

“Do you think you’ll do it again?!”
“Chit.”

Twiga would never be swept away by the mental world unless she knew how terrifying the intangible and colorless world was.

Of course, it was unavoidable that his posture was greatly disturbed due to his hasty dodging.
In the meantime, he was caught up by Kitz and received a powerful fire.

There was less than a minute left for Twiga to descend to the present world.
And on the other hand, Kaitsu was recharging his attack to kill the three demon lords he had gathered earlier.
Katz was relieved inside.

At this pace, all demon lords can be dealt with before the demon lord of time is activated.
The problem is… Alfred’s death is inevitable at this rate.
Because he is also subject to the ritual.

At that time.
A strange thing happened.

Aww!!

Dark.

Darkness that stimulates primal fear that dyed the night sky even blacker.
Even in the darkness, something was reaching out with its six huge eyes glowing red.

Hehe… She’s a shady woman.”

Twiga smirked.
Daarq had been looking for a suitable opportunity without showing the skills he had seen so far.

The darkness did not disappear completely even with the light emitted by the kitsune.

The mere presence of darkness greatly weakened human strength, and the mere existence of the darkness stretched out its hand, causing the atmosphere to vibrate.

At that moment, Lena’s body, which had been quiet until now, emitted brilliant spirit power.

A rainbow-colored spirit the size of a dark monster appeared with her ‘spirit fusion art’ gathered around her.

Flash!!

The gigantic spirit shone in the sky and then threw a fist and crushed the monster’s face.

Aaaaang-!!

Even so, the darkness did not stop and had an aftermath to the surroundings.
The darkness that leaked from the monster’s crushed face was about to spread far away like poison to Fryunar Academy.

If you’re trapped in that darkness, you’ll never be able to survive as a student.

Kitz clicked his tongue and poured all his energy into the darkness, while the intangible took over Twiga.

And at that moment, Bill’s strength ran out.
It collapsed terribly from the attack of the warrior party, and after Dia and Rius swung the sword of God, they collapsed from exhaustion.

Kwak Kwak!

“Kwaaaaagh…!!”

By the time Bills collapsed, split in half horizontally.
Before I knew it, Alfred was standing next to Dia and Rius.
Finally, the opportunity came again.

‘I won’t make a mistake this time.’

Alfred’s eyes burned.

‘I have lived for this moment.’

A great mother who died because of a single complaint.
She lived only to prove His honor, her knowledge.

Remember

She remembers her mother, who must have suffered for hours in the cold and died in terror.

Alfred couldn’t sleep properly when he imagined the mother’s feelings, the dark feelings of her mother who died resentful of herself.

So I tried
The things he wants to eat and the things he wants to play are luxuries to himself, and he has worked hard for decades to get his perfect figure.

All because of guilt.
Because of the whining of a mere child, her mother’s lifelong study of God was in danger of being buried.

This is atonement
Proving and recognizing her mother’s claim to the world, her divine existence is something she must do herself.

For her honor.
To get rid of her own guilt and at least atone for her mother.

So, just move her hand.

Little bit more…

Purr.

My hands are shaking.
Alfred couldn’t move.

At that moment, Twiga split in half.

“What…”

Squeak.

The invisible Dre appeared.
Until now, there was no transparency in Dre’s combat method, so I was careless.

Twiga was shocked and furious.

“You!! You bastard!!”

It’s not a big deal to Twiga, but the problem is the ability to stay in the human world.

He was eventually extradited.

Intangible and Kitz were not happy, but immediately rushed at the astonished Frogl.

Kwwaang!!

The face of Frogl, whose waist was cut in half by the light and the slash, contorted like a demon.

“Kiaaaaa!”

The time demon lord’s magic returns the body to its original state.
However, the destruction caused by kites and intangible attacks was faster than that.

Froggle threw himself at Dia and Rius with the feeling of being judged.

The attack of the kitsune and the intangible was a special and powerful attack that cut down on the devil’s attack, but no one could stop the devil’s mortal charge, which took permanent damage in the future.

“After all, you’re a human being too!! You weak child!!”

Frogl, who had denounced Alfred, stretched out a hand filled with enormous demonic energy.

They tried to fight with swords, but Dia and Rius, who had already run out of energy, gasped for breath, and Alfred stood in their way.

Perhaps it was a reflexive action, he himself had his eyes wide open.

“Get out of the way!! You weak bastard… Gap!!”

Quaang!!

However, Frogl was eventually blown away by Dre’s crescent-shaped slash.
But, as she flew away, she was smiling.

‘Human emotion.’

I didn’t expect Alfred’s betrayal, but I could see that this situation worked out rather well.
The effects of the demon lord of time spell include Alfred.

In other words, if all demon lords including Alfred are killed within 1 second, the demon lord of time is stopped.

Can you easily kill Alfred who helped them now?

No.
Purple.

Didn’t people’s facial expressions change?
That hesitation will give you a golden opportunity.

1 The demon kings in purgatory were still up and running.

Twiga, who was forcibly repatriated to the Pandemonium, and Daark, who was watching the situation. And the demons were ready to unleash their power at any time.

Frogl analyzed the situation and laughed through tears.

The activation of the demon king of time cannot be stopped anymore.
Now, in ten seconds from Godak, the laws of the world will change.
The floating island will collapse.
All students will die.
Frogl laughed in anticipation of the distorted faces of these bastards.

Everyone had a hunch that they would not be able to stop the spell from being activated at this rate.
Twiga, Daark, and the intervention of evil spirits were so painful.

And…

“Weakness. Yes. You can’t achieve it after all…”

Alfred suddenly raised his hand and placed it on his own chest.

That moment.

Snap. Tick ​​tock… Tock…

Mow.

The clock hands stopped.

“…What?”

Frogl let out a blank voice.

Dump.

Alfred, who was in the distance, collapsed.
He had his hand near his heart and black blood was gushing from his mouth.

Darkness in the form of a spear pierced his heart.

‘Just because he committed suicide, why did the magic stop…?’

Even if he hurt himself alone, his physical condition would be restored and finished with the effect of the magic spell.

Progl ‘analyzes the situation.’
And… Soon his face was contorted with anger.

“This … Human cub !!!!!!

When the demon king summoned Alfred before.
At that time, Alfred changed his spell and included himself as the subject of the spell.
I thought that was all, but… He also wrote other spells at the same time.

The condition is that if even one person voluntarily falls in, the time demon lord spell itself will be canceled.

It is truly a great feat.
The genius mage who has been working hard all his life has changed even the structure of the true demon king’s formula.

However, the price of the feat was severe.
Strict conditions were attached to the word falling into that spell.

Leaving the spell meant giving up one’s own life.

Suicide.

Sonic. Bills. Frogl’s eyes rolled back.
They tried to run at Alfred, but were crushed by the attacks of Intangible, Kitz, and Garcinido.

“Kill! Alfred!!”
“Kuuuuuong!”
“Ooooo!!”

The three demon kings roar in a fit of fuss.
The demon lords’ roar resounded, dyeing the sky black.

However, that’s all.

Most of their bodies were already destroyed, and they lost the effect of the magic and became weaker and weaker.

“No, no, no, no…!”

The demon lords were persistent, but they disappeared after about 5 minutes of intensive fire.
The three demon kings died with sad faces.

In the process, there was no support from Twiga, Daark, and the evil spirits.
It was because it was no longer worth supporting as long as the demon king of time was unlocked.

After all the Demon Kings are dead.
Alfred took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

A small smile hung on his lips.

The situation was sorted out.

Alfred leaned against a rock and waited for his imminent death, while Dia and Rius sat next to him with a miserable expression on their faces.

Dia even cried.

A shadow fell.
Alfred raised his eyes to see Dre and Kitz approaching him.
Katz’s eyes were dark and Dre looked down at Alfred like an asshole.

“…As you said, my earnest wish was atonement. It was a dream.”
“…”

Alfred was talking to Dre.
She didn’t take her eyes off him, as Dre insisted on continuing.

“Reclaiming my mother’s honor was not for her sake… It was my dream for me…”

I knew.
That this dream was not for her mother, but to make her feel at ease after not being able to do anything for her mother.

I wanted to ease the guilt by fulfilling the dream of my mother who had died because of me after all the hardships.

But.

“I can’t believe… That a new sense of guilt will overwhelm me…”
“A new guilt?”
“Kuh hu hu hu…”

Alfred laughed dejectedly.

“She said her mother… She said that even if she couldn’t do everything, she would be a teacher who would leave good memories for her students.”
“…”
“However, that noble son of yours has become a teacher who does not hesitate to sacrifice his students to achieve his goals…”

Dre didn’t answer.
Elso could have saved up as much money as she wanted.

How many dirty numbers, how many expedients?
Elso had her knowledge and ability to know that.
Even so, she lived a hard, hard life.

Because she believed that she was right.
Alfred remembered his mother’s students.

There were a lot of bad things, too.
Everyone loved their mother.
Mother loved them too.

“In order to fulfill her mother’s dream, she almost tarnished his reputation…”

Alfred struggled to turn his head to see Rius and Dia this time.

“And… Also, I didn’t know about myself.”
“What do you mean?”

Alfred grinned at Dre’s curt remark.

“That I, the children were quite precious.”
“…”
“I thought teaching was just a passing road for my dreams… But before I knew it… I started to enjoy it.”

Although I don’t have the right to be happy.

“Yeah, but… It’s good… A dream that can’t come true. It’s better to wake up early.”

The dream never came true.
I couldn’t take the last step even though I could achieve it.
Alfred said to himself that if he couldn’t do it today, it would be impossible in the future.

The light faded from Alfred’s eyes.

“Yeah…It’s a relief…I’ll…Meet…My…Mother…As…Assuming…Son…”
“…”
“Meet…To…Apologise…To…”

Alfred stopped talking.
He couldn’t even close his eyes.
Only black blood flowed down from his blood and chest, and he soaked his hand, which lay helplessly on the ground.

Dia cried.
Rius also shed tears.

Right after the demonic energy was completely removed, the subspace opened and Lenea and Blut walked out.

Blurt fell to his knees.

Lenea, with her trembling face, couldn’t even come close to Alfred and put her mouth shut.

Katz spoke to Dre in a mixed voice next to him.

“It’s always been like this.”
“…”
“He always failed to achieve his dreams. Always because… There were obstacles.”

Faith.
Or someone else’s.

“But more than anything else, it was always himself who hindered his dreams.”
“…”

Katz said in a guilty voice.

“He never strayed from the way of man. Even if he tried to deviate, in the end he chose the path of conscience and goodness.”

The reason why Alfred remains so intensely and traumatized in Kaitz’s memory and heart is because Alfred was a good person who gave up his decades of guilt and dreams and cared for others.

If he hadn’t hesitated to sacrifice others for his own sake, like ordinary people, he wouldn’t have been remembered by the regressor as much.

Alfred, who could not always achieve his dreams and always chose his conscience to die… Katz remembered and felt sorry for him, and was depressed because he could not do anything.

“This time… The same result.”

This is the first time that Twigana and Daark have been involved in the magic of the demon lord of time.
But the ending was the same.

“They say they went to the underworld and met their mother.”

Dre asked casually if that would be all right.
Katz shook her head.

“I said I would apologize to my mother, but there is a place where souls are stored, but there is no place like heaven where we can meet each other.”

Death is the end of futility.
In the end, there was no way to save Alfred.

Dre didn’t answer.
He looked up at the sky with a puzzled look on his face.

The warrior party moved busily to get rid of the demon that might still be left without a chance to get confused.

Like that.

The demon lord of time turmoil… Ended with a man unable to achieve his dream.

Met a tragic end.

“Who do you like?”

At the sudden voice, the intangible and Kitz looked at the voice and at Dre.

“What?”

Said Dre as Kitz looked up with her surprised eyes.

“Kaits. You had the power of time.”

Dre drew his sword.

“Turn back time. Kitz.”

His eyes were more serious than ever.

“I can’t accept an ending like this.”
