Chapter 278 – Throwing Off the Arrogance (5)

“—And so, Arcana took the place of the main deity.”

After saying that, the saintess looked at Dojin with her benevolent smile.

“How is it? Your husband? Did you enjoy Shinhwa?”
“It was interesting.”
“That’s fortunate. I was worried because I didn’t have the talent to speak….”
“Isn’t that bad?”
“That’s because my appearance supports it. His verbal skills and his were poor.”

The saintess smiled bitterly as she said that. She seemed to know her own limits of her.

However, immediately changing her expression, she jumped up and demanded compensation from Do-jin.

“Um, the lips that suffered because of my husband want something in return.”
“… Okay okay. Don’t look at me.”

Dojin kissed her one last time and then lifted her up. She then left the mansion.

Leaving her mansion, her steps her were light, but Do-jin’s heart was very heavy.

‘Mythology…’ It was a fantasy item only on Earth, but in another world, it is an item that records the majors of transcendentalists, right?’

It is the right of the victor to record history, so what is written in mythology may not be 100% correct.

Moreover, victors tend to overestimate their strength. It is safe to say that there is some exaggeration in the myth.

However, even so, the dance of the gods was not something to be easily underestimated.

‘Throwing thunderbolts, uprooting mountains, splitting the seas… It’s a common myth even on Earth….’

In a different world where superhumans who could actually do such a thing existed, it was just a means to guess their powerlessness.

How strong is it, and if they start to oppose you, what can you do to resist?

‘Is there no choice but to become a real demon king?’

Dojin thought so and burst out laughing at her. To say that she is the Demon King is not even funny.

What, he himself…….

“Hero.”
“Uh, huh? Why?”
“You look disturbed.”

Dojin looked at Artie, who called her name her, and tilted her head. Why does she care about her her, she is not like her her.

Isn’t worry an unsuitable feeling for an arrogant and noble dragon?

So, Dojin was very curious and answered her question.

“Not disturbed.”
“Why?”
“… What are you talking about here?”

She looked around. On the main road, there were too many ears to listen. Not to mention that the heavenly beings might be listening.

Mouth guarding has always been a must. Dojin only tells her after she goes back to the mansion, she explained.

Artie listened and held back. As a dragon who has lived for tens of thousands of years, patience is exceptional.

As soon as she arrived at the mansion, she clung to her, but Do-jin headed to Deok-gu’s room with Arti, who was so attached.

When she opened her door and went in, she found Deok-gu in depression with his head on her desk.

“I have nothing to write…….”
“… Are you Deokgu?”
“Uh, uh- Dojin-ah. Long time no see….”

Deokgu lifted his head and greeted Dojin. She hadn’t seen her face in her in over a month since she left for the empire, but it was a very dry reaction.

That was good. The point is that it doesn’t stick together like others, and it doesn’t welcome you too much.

“… Are you a new girl? Blonde again? You like blonde hair more than I thought.”
“To say you like it so much, how many blondes do I know…….”

Speaking of the blondes he embraced, there were only two Elves, Queen Celestia and Queen Elena, so why did they get such a rating- Do-jin felt very unfair.

However, whether he felt unfair or not, Deokgu rolled his eyes and scanned Artie’s body up and down.

“Well… It’s pretty, but a little plain. What properties?”
“A property, is that what you said to her?”
“Oh, the royal tone… Queen attribute?”
“Only the opening emperor?”
“Then it is an attribute of the emperor.”

Deokgu, who was still evaluating Artie with a careless attitude, changed 180 degrees the moment Dojin grabbed her Artie’s horns and tail her.

Deok-gu jumped up from his chair and saw the dragon’s tail, horns, and eyes that were unique to dragons.

“Maid Dragon Kitaaaaa maid!”
“May… Dragon?”
“Dojin! I knew you could do it!Haha!”

Deok-gu, who immediately shouted and took out the maid’s uniform from the closet in my room, pushed Artie into it and invited her to try it on.

Artie, who didn’t like her flirting with Wenbug, looked at Dojin and asked.

“Hero, can I kill this?”
“No.”
“Did you hear? You say no But she’s not very patient, so if her life is worth it, she’ll back off.”
“Uh, uh…….”

Deokgu, who tried to cling to Arty, began to tremble when he felt the dragon’s life force.

He didn’t urinate, probably because he had been through the risk of dying a couple of times.

However, he couldn’t stop him from stiffening up in front of the strongest creature on earth, the dragon.

“Artie.”
“Hmm-you must be lucky.”

When her belated her Dojin stopped her, Artie finally let go of her life her and let out her snort.

Deokgu smiled haha ​​and wiped away the cold sweat. Deok-gu, who had been wiping away sweat for a while, sat down on his chair as if his legs were loosened and asked Do-jin.

“That, yes. That person is a dragon that appeared in the empire…?”

“Know?”

“I’ve seen it destroy an empire.”

Deokgu’s ability, a kind of Akashic record to find out information that many people know.

Most of the people of the Empire saw a dragon appearing in the sky and breathing its breath.

After that, many of the empire’s people died, so the information couldn’t be updated…… He knew the information that a dragon had appeared and destroyed the empire.

After hearing Deokgu’s words, Artie glared at her in amazement.

“Oh, you saw Lei destroy the empire? I don’t remember seeing a beast like you.”
“That, because of my ability….”
“Ability?”
“—It’s Deokgu.”

Do-jin, who naturally tried to find out Deokgu’s ability her, blocked Artie’s mouth her and sent her gesture her to be quiet.

“Artie, don’t try to dig into our abilities like that.”
“He says he will do whatever he wants in his spare time, but there’s no stopping him—”
“You said you would stay quiet for three days?”
“I’m sorry-.”

As she said, she promised not to go on a rampage for three days – Artie quietly lowered her head and stopped digging into Deokgu’s abilities as Dojin said.

Seeing that, Dojin sighed in relief. Of course, after three days, he could have pressed Deokgu to find out about his ability his-until then, he’d have to come up with another plan.

“Anyway, Deokgu. I need your help.”

“… OK, what are you curious about? The elves’ behind-the-scenes work? Or the movement of the Beasts? Or are you curious about what the kingdoms are doing now that the empire has fallen?”

“Hmm, I’m curious about that too. What we need most right now is…”

Dojin smiled and met Deokgu’s eyes.

“Your otaku knowledge.”
“… What?”

Deokgu looked at Dojin with an absurd expression.

* * *

Do-jin conveyed the story she had heard from her saintess. In the beginning, there was a god in this world and what to say.

Along with him, he also told the truth about the dungeon that Artie had told him about. The fact that a dungeon is a dungeon created by God.

After hearing all the stories, Deokgu shook his head and gave a light evaluation.

“It’s a Gen 0 fantasy.”
“Generation 0 fantasy?”
“I mean, it’s a boring story.”

But at the same time, it was a story that was constantly used everywhere because it was so orthodox.

After putting together his story his, Deok-gu began to speak about his views his.

“Fortunately, gods cannot directly intervene like in Greek and Roman mythology.”

“… Did you intervene?”

“No, the Greek gods weren’t limited to this level, they were at the level of living among people. It was at the level where if you cursed at God on the street, God would appear and engage in a one-on-one battle.”

However, it is said that even for a while, when the gods go to the latter half of the myth, they gradually lose their place, and eventually disappear far beyond the universe as Mount Olympus.

Deokgu explained that this is also the case with the gods of the other world. They are beings that can hardly interfere directly- they become constellations in the night sky and are on the verge of becoming constellations.

“Didn’t you say that the god who attacked you in the dungeon immediately disappeared?”

“Uh.”

“Each work has a different name, but… It is because of the deterrence, interference, and so on.”

“… What is that?”

“The world’s defense wall to prevent the great transcendents from touching the ground?”

Do-jin, who did not understand even half of Deok-gu’s explanation, tilted his head. Deokgu waved his hand, saying that there was no need to understand anyway.

Because that didn’t matter.

“Well, anyway—putting all this information together…… I can think of a possibility.”
“It’s a coincidence, just like me.”
“… Fucked.”
“I know.”

Haa, Deokgu let out a full sigh and was disturbed as he grabbed my face. Do-jin sighed deeply as if he understood.

Atiman, who did not understand why the two sighed, tilted his head and asked.

“What is it, warrior? Why are you sighing so much?”
“… That’s right, because Deokgu and I had the same thoughts?”
“Why is that?”
“Because what ended up as my delusion has turned into something that has reality.”

Saying that, Dojin recalled the conversation he had with Deokgu.

God killed the demon king and created a dungeon.
The dungeon is the corpse of the demon king, and those who followed the demon king are sealed inside.
Dojin is the ruler of the dungeon, and when he headed to the dungeon in the Empire – he heard a ‘heart’ from the ruler there.
The god who appeared soon after ignored even the deterrence and killed the ruler of the imperial dungeon, and also spewed his murderous intentions at Do-jin.

When you put all this information together, it only meant one thing.

“—It means that I am the Demon King.”

Do-jin had become the demon king before he knew it.
