Chapter 206 – Time Is Running Out (01)

Duke Renellian.

In the past, they were famous as a prestigious family with a lot of magical knowledge and were the source of the kingdom’s wizards. Despite causing several accidents, they survived because they were too powerful to be exterminated.

There were rumors that evil blood ran through their bloodline, but it was treated as a superstition from hundreds of years ago, and in reality, they were just bloodlines born with strong mana.

That’s what people were thinking.

In fact, it was clear that their lineage came from evil beings, not from humanity.

There was no record of their origins, but it was certain that demonic blood flowed in their lineage, and they were kept in check because of that.

However, that lineage has become blurred and diluted, and as time passes, their legacy and power weakens and becomes a meaningless record.

The members of the Renellian duchy thought.

Either they become ordinary humans like this and gradually lose power and decline, or they reproduce their lineage once again.

Numerous incestuous marriages. There were no problems at first because it was a lineage that had already spread widely.

In any case, incestuous marriages were common among noble families who would not accept new blood.

Among them, those with particularly strong bloodlines are gathered together and remarried.

At first, an ordinary marriage was enough, and just connecting the two families was enough.

However, like refining an ingredient in alchemy, the difficulty began to become more difficult as time passed.

At first, there were no problems with marriages between distant relatives, but when the descendants were adopted, dissatisfaction began to arise, and later, the lineage had to be enriched to the point where new children had to be brought in by deliberately swapping children from other families.

Even that, when the current Duke of Renellian was born.

Because enrichment was impossible with human capabilities, a different method had to be chosen this time.

It attracts the descendants of the artists who were ‘created’ like that.

The descendants of the Renellian Dukes, who have already spread widely in the world, are still attracting those who were nobles and those who judged their lineage to have been diluted in the process.

Slowly, without anyone noticing.

In the past, in order to create a plurality of bloodlines, the right to join the commoners was taken away and the bloodline was spread among them, from commoners to nearby nobles.

After so many years had passed, the territory of Duke Renellian was filled with only those who had a little bit of their blood flowing through them.

Start collecting Hanasik by combining fiddles.

At first, the children, who numbered in the hundreds, were divided into half and transplanted to one child.

If the child who has been deprived of the most important part of the value of existence dies, and the remaining child does not show any rejection, the child moves on to the next step.

A long, long time, like putting pieces together, like putting a broken mirror together, down to the pieces and glass particles.

Adults cannot endure the process. Because it is already contaminated.

Therefore, they were ‘extracted’ and became those who provided the necessary factors.

If it has duplicate arguments, it is used as a backup in case the current extraction target dies.

In this way, one by one, the skin is split, the flesh is replaced, and new blood is introduced into the bone marrow.

Many children died.

Half of them die after providing the factor, and those who inherit the concentrated factor also go crazy or die.

If the factor itself does not collapse, dead children are used as storage for another factor, and nutrients are forcibly injected into the already dead body to revive it.

They created and created the person they wanted.

The duke had already crossed the human line from then on.

Bubbling…

The previous king knew that the duke faction was conducting human experiments to some extent, but he neglected it because he was already old.

The crown prince, who would next inherit the throne, only approached the duke faction in order to completely eliminate the second prince who was a threat to him, and instead, he only framed the duke faction’s actions as a weakness for himself to threaten. Br〉

Duke Renellian bowed.

The plan that has been made to overcome human limitations must not end.

That’s why Ophelia’s nanny made her run away on a whim when she was young.

She, who was not her own daughter, perhaps felt sympathy for her, and ran away with her. Eventually, she was caught by the Duke’s faction and her Ophelia was recovered.

Like a silver-haired boy who knows nothing.

At first, as usual, they brought Ophelia and implanted her kindness, and the boy tried to sacrifice her or kill her.

However, Ophelia accepts the concentrated factor that others could not overcome.

Seeing her somehow escaping from herself, she was encountering the boy and suppressing the factor that was gnawing at her body.

The duke finally realized that in his generation his, his lineage his would be complete.

Just don’t touch Aren, the white-haired boy.

In return, Ophelia withstood the Son of Man implanted in her own body.

The brown hair, which was originally slightly red, turned blood-red.

By splitting his arm and transplanting new muscles, he gains strength that surpasses human limits.

By splitting, cutting, and joining the heart to make it stick together, it is reconstructed into a heart that accumulates magical power.

The eyes, the tongue, the internal organs, the organs in the ears, the hands, the marrow, and even a piece of bone.

Insert numerous arguments.

No one has ever endured like this.

Even when a demon was summoned and put into his body, Duke Renellian felt joy because he had never endured this much.

Finally, the moment when I am confident that the lineage will be complete.

The duke started a rebellion.

The continent is burning and the kingdom is burning.

They thoroughly attack the royal palace, exterminate the royal family, kill the crown prince, corner the second prince, and kill and burn his younger siblings without any chance.

By showing the process to the people in the capital and informing them that the royal family had collapsed, the Duke of Renellian started a war that would engulf the entire continent.

It’s good if they win.

All you have to do is create an altar to offer sacrifices and sing slowly and leisurely.

It’s okay for them to lose.

All you have to do is call those who were sacrificed or defeated in the process as sacrifices.

If you need time in the middle, if you feel like you will be defeated too early.

I’m sending out a failed work that has collected the ‘factors’ so far.

Failures that were creating humanity while being forced to lose their lives and without even the freedom to do so.

Soulless beings who don’t even have a soul and need to be called by name and given a matching soul.

Nevertheless, an ancient evil that, if awakened, could destroy a continent.

It is summoned in the form of an egg.

You don’t have to worry about losing your son.

Since the body has already been completed, there is no longer any need for another Son.

The body used by the devil who returned to this earth in the past.

Although it is a human body, it is a truly chosen body that can extract maximum magical power.

Now, I can create a complete body of the Demon King that can contain the Demon King who has lost his body and only his soul and his remains.

Grumbling… Rumbling…

After a long time, the duke felt joy as he looked at the beautiful body of Ophelia, his target.

The blood of a demon whose magical power has been melted, the body tempered while immersed in black water.

The black blood flowing along the curves of the woman’s body, along with the piece of cloth barely covering Ophelia’s body her her hers, emphasized her her her her her her and gave off a dangerous charm, but those present were only in awe because they had already escaped human desires. It contained it.

Demon horns growing on the forehead, demon wings spread out on the back.

The difference from humans was that much, but Duke Renellian, who was looking at it from the perspective of a demon rather than a human, was able to see that his daughter’s body and his was a body that could perfectly contain the demon lord.

“Your Majesty the Demon King.”

The duke gave no answer to the call of one of the four henchmen who was covering one side of his face.

Just admiring the body with an ecstatic expression.

“Was the brainwashing successful?”

“…Failed.”

I didn’t ask why.

Anyway, I wasn’t particularly looking forward to Duke Renellian, or even the one who is now called the Demon King.

“I need Aren.”

“Didn’t you prepare a similar replacement?”

I gathered together her silver-haired beautiful boys and her beautiful girls and showed them to her.

But Ophelia had no reaction.

“Appearance is not the problem. If you don’t bring Aren directly…”

“Hmm.”

The Duke, who was called the Demon King, knew about the reports coming to him, so he knew that Aren had joined the royal faction and that he had defeated one of his four henchmen.

Even so, I thought that she could accept Ophelia, no, as long as she could complete the true Demon Lord.

“There is no need.”

“But if that happens, Lady Ophelia…”

“Is it ready?”

At those words, another henchman appeared.

She was revealed, her alluring face framed by a black dress that hugged her slender waist, and the mist beneath her feet.

She, the only one of her four henchmen who had been hiding in her academy as a servant, handed the short dagger in her hand to the duke.

“Your Majesty the Demon King. Please reconsider once again.”

The masked henchman spoke urgently, but other henchmen and the duke were already approaching Ophelia, whose black demon blood was being washed away.

“Your Majesty the Demon King. She is… Your daughter! The only blood relative born from the woman you loved…”

At those words, Duke Renellian’s hand stopped for a moment.

“What does that matter?”

“What you are doing now, young lady…”

“It’s what makes you a true demon lord.”

Duke Renelian aims a dagger at the sleeping Ophelia’s neck.

Phuuk.

Ophelia may not have felt her pain, but she was helplessly stabbed by the dagger, but her wound quickly healed, her blood was reabsorbed, and she returned to normal.

What her duke was trying to do was not simply to kill her.

“Begin.”

As I twisted and removed the jewel on the handle of the dagger with the female confidant embedded in it, she whispered towards the passage leading to the handle and blade of the dagger.

“Miss. So, it would have been better if you had listened to His Majesty the Demon King from the beginning.”

Her evil red eyes shined as if she had been waiting for just this moment.

“Please die now.”

Her mist begins to gather and enter the dagger stuck in it.

“Your Majesty!!”

Despite the desperate cries of the masked henchman, the duke just swung his hands and crushed him with chains to prevent him from moving freely.

Sigh…

For the first time, Ophelia’s fingers her moved.

Ophelia’s left arm began to move as her chains wrapped around her entire body, making it difficult for her to move a single finger.

Phuddudddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddds… Tong! Kwazijic!!

Ofelia’s arm began to move as the fixing part of the chain that could withstand hanging several houses, which was stuck on all sides of the Duke’s altar, fell off.

“Ah…!”

The female confidant’s complexion turned blue and she looked back at the duke, and the chained masked confidant shouted urgently once again.

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You are trying to wake up right now…”

“It’s already too late.”

Clap!

At Duke Renellian’s gesture, numerous chains once again bind Ophelia’s body to her.

At best, Ophelia broke apart every time she moved her arm, only buying a brief moment of time, but that was enough.

The fog that quickly gathered became a drop of poison and floated on Yeo Sim-bok’s finger her her.

As if receiving permission for the last time, she looked back at Duke Renellian and saw him expressionlessly tightening the chain.

Talk.

A drop of poison was pushed into the dagger stuck in Ophelia’s neck.

“No!!”

It does no damage to her her body her her her her, but uses the poison that engraves her soul her to mark her her soul her her her her.

The mark of sacrifice.

The body is protected and cannot be harmed by the power of the completed lineage, but the soul was not.

“Ah…”

For just a moment, golden eyes open.

The eyes soon lose strength and sink again.

Her soul was being captured and torn apart by the souls of countless demons.

The henchmen who had the vision of a demon, and the duke, were able to know.

“Lady… Miss…!!”

But there was only one person here who was distressed by that fact.

She could not escape the situation where her soul was forcibly taken from her body and torn apart.

In her her final moments her her her, her her own soul her her her is forcibly torn from her her body her her her and falls into hell.

“…Aren…”

Spurrrr…

Her broken chains gave way, but Ophelia moved no more.

Her soul has disappeared, and her presence, which felt like she was ‘asleep’just moments ago, has become an empty body.

Just like other failed works, the soul has been deleted.

“Hello, lady.”

Kissing the cheek of the body whose eyes were closed without a soul, her female heart pulled out a dagger.

Unlike the masked confidant, who was biting her own tongue and screaming silently, the female confidant and Duke Renellian who were present were happy with refreshing smiles as if they had just gotten rid of a sick tooth.

“Now the time has come for the devil to awaken.”

Even though his daughter’s soul died, the Demon King did not grieve.

Because it has been a long time since he crossed the human line in the first place.
