Chapter 350 – The Four Heavenly Kings (2)

[Didn’t I say immortality?]

The Four Heavenly Kings, Friedbach, said that and burst into laughter.
There was a mental wave that shook the mind in that laugh.

In a chaotic situation, Rich’s intense mental wave was enough to break Dojin and his party’s resolve.

“…… You said you wanted to talk.”
[Ah, yes. Yes.]
“Great. Summer solstice.”
“Host!?”

Ade Lange, who heard Do-jin’s words of her, called him in fright, but Do-jin waved her hand as if she was okay and held her back behind her.

Friedbach, who thought he needed a place for conversation, made a tea table with a light snap of his fingers. The magic that Athanasius used the other day.

Considering that she had n’t used such magic before she had acquired her demon lord’s knowledge, it was highly likely that this magic itself was the demon lord’s or Friedbach’s own magic her.

[Come on, sit down.]

Do-jin, who had already experienced this magic once, sat down casually and drank a cup of tea.

He was worried about poison, but the stinger didn’t respond. When the signal that it was okay was sent to the party, the party began to recover their physical strength by consuming tea and refreshments one by one.

[Then—- where should I start…….]

Friedbach said that and clapped lightly. His fleshless palms made the sound of bones clashing instead of hand clapping, but that was enough.

A huge magic circle rises from under the tea table. Dojin secretly looked at the magic circle and asked.

“This?”
[I’m not trying to harm you, so don’t worry. Because I hate to lie. That insurance.]

Magic is activated Thus, three laws are inscribed on this table.

One. Respond honestly to questions asked.
Two. If asked once, answer once.
Three. Only the person whose turn it is to ask the question can complete this dialogue.
Four. Unless the above questions and answers are completed, those sitting at the table cannot attack each other.

[Okay then…… Shall we do intellectual activity for the first time in tens of thousands of years?]

Saying that, Rich began to activate his brain in another dimension. I had a lot of questions. Estimated value of tens of thousands of years.

* * *

Contrary to what Seoyoon and Aderange were worried about, Friedbach treated them in a very gentlemanly manner.

People were told not to judge people by their appearance, and this skeleton, which I wondered if it could be called a person, was more gentlemanly than any other gentleman.

[Hmm—-outside, tens of thousands of years have already passed. Is this?]
“Okay. What are your weaknesses?”
[It’s a weakness… Cooking is a gem. Then ask the vampire over there. How the hell is Jinjo still alive?]
“I was awakened postnatally.”
[To think that was possible…….]

As they talked, Do-jin found out a few things about why he couldn’t break Friedbach’s magic.

He greatly improved the efficiency of magic using a fairly unusual method. By including herself in the range of magic and forcibly discovering the opponent’s weakness by revealing her own weakness her first.

Even a being with exorcism at the level of Dojin could not shake off the magic of the lich, so he meant that he was a skilled person who could erase an entire city with magic if he wanted to.

‘I’m good at avoiding cooking in the meantime.’

There were some magics hanging over this table. Respond truthfully to any question asked, ask a question once for every question you hear.

This magic, mutually agreed upon, became an absolute restriction, a restraint that entangled each other. Even the lich who cast the spell couldn’t escape from this spell.

The problem is that even if you can’t get out of it, you know how many ways to get around it.

[Um- let me ask you this question. If you try to kill me with a sword, can you kill me?]

“Maybe?”

[Oh, that’s great. How?]

“One question at a time. Wasn’t it?”

[Oops, I made a mistake. I’m sorry.]

Friedbach spoke casually, then nodded as if to ask a question.

After meeting Seoyoon and Aderange for a moment, Dojin finally asked Friedbach a potentially fatal question.

“I’ll just throw that question out there. How can I kill you?”

[… ] … Ahahaha- I ate this one! Maybe it’s because it’s been a while since I’ve been rolling my head, it’s completely frozen!]

“Answer me.”

[Yeah- I’ll let you answer. There is no such way – this is my answer.]

To that question, Dojin frowned at her and looked at Friedbach. It was thought that he was breaking the rules of the table.

But Table’s Law didn’t work. When Do-jin, who had doubts, was tilting his head, Friedbach told him one thing.

[‘Answer honestly to questions asked’. What this law means is true, not true.]

“…… What does that mean?”

[Actually, whether you can kill me or not, if I don’t think so—-the law doesn’t work.]

However, each other’s views on the same opinion were different. That means there are at least one or two hidden from each other, and at least Do-jin thought he could kill himself with that one move.

Realizing this, Friedbach felt a shudder run down his spine. Do you firmly believe that you can kill yourself like this even if you personally show that you will never die?

‘Where, reveal the base.’

Fried Bach thought so and prepared his magic his. The third law on the table. The question and answer can be completed by the person who asked the question.

Considering that people sitting at the table couldn’t attack each other, it was like taking the right to go first.

Of course, Do-jin was also wary of Friedbach from the moment he paused without asking questions, but he was bound to respond slower than Friedbach, who knew exactly when the question and answer would end.

And, between two talented people, a moment of time decides victory or defeat.

[Daecho heat inferno.]

End the question and answer
At the same time, he fires magic.

Due to Seoyoon’s ability to her, the heat of hell that burned everything in the cold cave began to rise.

Not to mention the fairly strong ones, and the True Ancestors wouldn’t be fine if they got hit by them——but Friedbach wasn’t vigilant.

The era he lived in was too terrible to be careless.

[Daehongryeon Hell Ice.]

The Great Crimson Lotus Hell, where flesh freezes and becomes a flower, descends into the dungeon. The interior of the dungeon filled with heat and ice was filled with steam, making it impossible to see an inch ahead.

In addition to that, Friedbach launched omnidirectional soul exploitation, dozens of complex curses, and hundreds of miscellaneous beginner magic.

If you can’t see the line of sight, you just need to construct a fire network that has no space to escape.

After the seemingly endless battle of magic, Friedbach sighed lightly, feeling exhausted from the empty magic power.

[It was a short time, but it was a satisfying time.]

He lightly greeted his dead group His, Dojin, and tried to seal himself again.

Another guard – that is, until a new adventurer comes up.

“If anyone sees it, they’ll know we’re dead. Is it not?”

Friedbach, who was about to seal himself off and fall into a deep sleep, raised his head in disbelief at the distant voice of his.

There, Do-jin and his party were standing there in good shape. He had no idea what the plan was, but Fried Bach felt an intense intellectual curiosity.

[How did you do it?]
“I’m sorry, the question time ended earlier.”
[Haha, if that’s the case—I’ll ask after defeating you. Will that work?]
“Do whatever you feel like.”

Do-jin swung his sword while looking at the confident Fried Bach. He seemed to believe too much in the fact that fire is immortal, but after killing this much, the senses come.

That there is a way to kill what cannot be killed.

“If you were still alive then.”

Squeak-.

The moment Do-jin swung his sword. Friedbach looked at Dojin with an expressionless face.

He started to drool as if he couldn’t be there.

[… ] … How did you do this?]
“If you openly resurrect like that, all the secrets will be stolen.”
[Something like an ignorant swordsman.]

Saying that, Friedbach began coughing in pain. Of course, as a rich man without bronchial tubes, there was no reason for him to cough.

It was just a biological signal sent out by the body that sensed death. Something I never thought I’d feel since I gave up my body and became a lich…….

[Crazy, crazy…….]

Source of immortality. The connection to the Life Vessel hidden in the subspace was severed. For humans, it is a blow that suddenly cuts off all the nerves and blood vessels connected to the heart.

Every time he coughs, mana gushes out. I can’t control my magic Uncontrolled magical energy continues to flow through the body.

[It can’t be like this, it can’t be like this—.]
“Your friends said that too.”
[Friend?]

Dojin said that and silently raised the sword. Watching him lift the sword smoothly, Friedbach superimposed Dojin on his old memories of him.

The appearance of the demon king, who suppressed himself with overwhelming power and made him decide to become his subordinate his, overlapped with the current Dojin.

However, without time to reminisce, Dojin’s sword smashed Friedbach’s head.
