Chapter 441 – The Fire of Power Is the Fire of Sacrifice

Chapter 441 The Fire of Power is the Fire of Sacrifice

My voice, my arms, my legs… Since when did it change?
Covered in tentacles…

“Honey oh oh oh oh!!”

Stella’s scream calling me.

Looking down at her limbs, tiny tentacles wriggled in her eyes.
Only then did I know
The limit of mana usage was exceeded too much.
The use limit of black salt was far exceeded.

The black flame is the source of black magic.
The black flame is the flame that burns humanity.

I used too much black magic.

“Kamuniyeeeee!!!”

“Aagh!
Joo-goo-woo-woon!”

“Oppa, no, no no!”

Rurrrr!!

A gigantic magical blue phoenix burning inexplicably swallowed the Destroyer’s tentacle tree, but the tentacles regenerated too fast to burn them.
The only thing to do is to prevent further proliferation.

Tsutsutsu… !

And now… I’m turning into a God of Destruction!

Kwajik, Kwajik!

The tentacle of the God of Destruction wrapped around me sucked me into the vicinity of Alberic’s torso.

Haha.
You don’t get lonely outside, do you?”

Alberic.
You too… You’re a tough guy.

Hee heeyea!!!”

Okay.
The end of the world like this…

“No!!
Save the general!!”

“I can’t get it out, I can’t… !”

Two gods of destruction.
There is no way to afford it.

“Kamuniyiim!!!”

“Saintess, it is dangerous!!!”

“Zuguuuuun!!
Let go, let go!!”

“Brother Brother!!”

“Your majesty!
It’s not possible!!”

At this rate, I will lose the Demon King, Middle-earth, and all the people I love.
The decision… I need.
I’m the general.
I had to take responsibility for this.

“Rurururumimimimikakakakaka!
Convergence, fusion, and fusion.

A fusion special move that split even dimensions, if it was Asura Pacheonmu.
Asura’s sword dance that can even destroy the sky!
Alberic and I, we might be able to eliminate both Gods of Destruction at the same time!

However.

Clink.

Rumika let go of her tears, and missed the annihilation hell sword.

“No…
Me, I can’t…”

“Rururu Mimi Mikaka!!!
Come on, stand up, stand up!!”

Unfortunately, I am also losing my temper.
There is not much time left to talk like this.
Because of the tentacles rising from the eyes, black things flickered in front of my eyes.

“It’s going to be quick!!!”

However, like a kitsundere student who didn’t even listen to her, Rumika quietly shook her head.
Shedding tears

Dump.

Got down on her knees

“I can not…
Oppa, I can never cut…”

Idiot.
If you don’t, everyone dies.
Alberic, who has already become a God of Destruction, and I, who are becoming Gods of Destruction together while trying to stop it.

“Poor… My brother…”

Rumika, half-fazed.

“Brother… I have a confession…”

Really stupid

“In fact…”

No, at this point, what do you have to confess now?

“I knew.”

But I couldn’t help but listen to her next words.

“I saw your brother’s last scene at that time…”

“Rururu Mimi Mikaka!!!
Hourly, hourly, never again!!!”

“No.
I already made a promise then.
I, I…”

Flowing tears.

That story.
Fire test.
It goes back to Angmar’s last question.

***

Back in time, a trial by fire in the black sun of the Demon Realm.

At that time, Angmar said he would test Lumica first.

Two demons walking quietly.

Angmar, the progenitor of the demons, said.

“Now the trial by fire, the final stage.”

Gulp.

All the questions that were like riddles or like Zen dialogues have all passed.
It’s the last question.
Listen carefully and decide whether to pass it on to Kamyu.
Perhaps the last question is the most difficult one.

Angmar summoned the bubbles.

“This is the end of that descendant over there.”

“Yes?”

The reflection in the soap bubbles.

[Rururu Mimi Mikaka!!!
Come on, stand up, stand up!!]

Kamyu’s dark gray tentacles came out of his body, eyes, nose, mouth, and all pores due to a runaway of magical powers, turning him into a God of Destruction.

Stop.

The red-haired girl froze at the sight.

“That figure is the end of that young man you love so much.”

“Yes… ?”

Don’t want to believe
No, I can’t believe it

“Don’t play nonsense.
I already know that you sent hints to that young man.”

“?!?!”

“If you utter what you have seen and heard now, you and the young man will immediately come to the Black Sun.”

Rumika choked her speechless.

Why?
Why is that bear
Why?
What did you do wrong?
Why? Why?

Angmar laughed bitterly, but looked Rumika straight in the eyes and said:

“That has been changed, and rescheduled.
It is the future of that young man.”

“No, no, no, no way… !”

Those cat-like eyes, those big, sharp eyes that even looked slightly sharp.
Tears like jewels welling up.

Angmar continued with a confused expression.

“And it is also the future of destruction that you will face.”

“Lie.
Lie… Right?
Yes… ?”

“…”

“Yes… ?
Yes?
Is that a lie?!?!”

“…”

Angmar lowered her head, unable to look her in the eyes, and Rumika realized.
Really, really, that this is a harsh future destined for them.

“Why is this future coming?
Please answer sir!!!
How! Why!
What the hell did my brother do wrong!
What happened!!
Are you changing like that?!!!!!”

What Rumika saw was Kamyu, who had become a god of destruction.
I can’t figure out what happened before and after.
Wanted to stop
Even if I died, I wanted to prevent that situation.
However.

“I didn’t do anything wrong.
Rather, it was very good.”

“You did well, but why… !”

“Didn’t I tell you?
The fire of power is the fire of sacrifice.
Rights have a two-sided relationship with duties.
Having the fire of authority means taking responsibility.
That young man is to protect the world, and to protect you.
I will go out of control and become a god of destruction, choosing the path that leads to ruin.”

“No, no way…”

“It is true.
Very willing too.
Again and again
I will choose.”

“That, that, that, then… You can give up the trial by fire!!
Then, even if you don’t make that sacrifice… !”

Angmar twisted his face even more intricately.

“Didn’t I tell you?
It’s a predestined future.
That young man will choose again and again.
Even if you reject the trial by fire, that ordeal will eventually come.
No, without the power of fire, they will face a more miserable end.
Thanks to the fire of power, his sacrifice can save the world and you…”

“I don’t need that kind of salvation!!!!”

A booming voice.

If Angmar hadn’t instantly struck the soundproof curtain, the voice would have reached Kamyu.

“Lower your voice!
Didn’t that young man almost hear it?
Did you already want to die?!”

“Does it look low?!
Why, why did this happen to our stupid Mew…”

Rumika pointing a finger at Kamyu.

Jerk, jerk.

Let’s try to get closer to Kamyu.

Chuck.

“!”

Angmar held out his palm and winked.
As the gap between Kamu and them narrowed, he stopped.
And said to Rumika.

“Didn’t you see?
Amid countless crossroads and choices, a changed future.
However, there was only one future that was consistently pointed out, and it only came a little later.
The sun rises, the sun sets
As the moon rises, as the moon sets.
Even if you avoid that death, death will soon be approaching.
Don’t you know
Just two steps to hell.”

There is no way you don’t know
Because it’s the motto of the Demon King’s army.

“Death is always with us.”

“I don’t understand!
I can’t understand!”

“Whether you understand it or not, whether you evade reality or not, whether or not you utter what you have just heard, that is to come.”

“…”

“I will ask you.”

Rumika, who held back her tears, wanted to show her tears to make her worry.
Angmar asked.

“Trial by fire, last question.
Would you still love a person who will face such a fate, that young man?”

What kind of question is this?
In a test of sacred fire, how could you ask such a crappy question?

“Even if the words of that young man you love are destined to soon become the sacrificial fire, ignite the fire of power, and become ashes themselves.
Even if it’s my fate to die happily calling out your name in front of you.
Even if you knew all of that in advance now.”

Know.
That end… That it wasn’t too long.
In that video, Kamyu doesn’t age at all, no hairstyle, no clothes, no armaments.
She was no different from now.
At last.
Near future.

“Do you love that young man?”

Angmar speaks calmly.
Embarrassed Rumika.

However.

Back.

However, Rumika quickly clenched her fists and made a promise.

Okay.
The answer was fixed.
So she laughed happily.

“Yes.”

“… Really?”

And Angmar looked back with an expressionless expression.

“Yes.”

Rumika, who is passionate about it.

“Even if I leave here and he dies the very next day…”

Rumika trembles with her hands on her stomach.

“Even if we were destined to meet the same ending even if we tried a thousand times, ten thousand times…”

Rumika, who promises, and promises again.

“I am.
I will love you.”

“… Are you serious?
By the way, this karma is not far away.”

Karma.
Immutable destiny.
The inevitable karma.
But it doesn’t matter.

She decided to live differently.
Darma.
Law to govern.
The right to choose how to live.

Rumica made a choice.

“I am serious.
Yes
It’s my fate, I can tell you to come!
Even if I am born again!
A thousand times, ten thousand times!
I will live a life of being with you and loving you!”

Because… Because…

“This time with my brother… Hey, I, I’m so happy…”

Even if the remaining time is fleeting and short.

“Because I can’t live without my brother…”

I just fell in love, and I’m having his child…

“Because I only look at you and love you…
Even if you know the end, the process… Because it’s so precious and happy…
Therefore… I want to love you.”

Never.
Don’t cry
Because he is worried about the person behind him.
So, just one drop.
It just leaked again.

“…”

Angmar opened his mouth heavily.

“The test of fire has passed.”

***

“Our last… I knew.
The things that oppa will run out of control, the things that I can’t stop, we’re like this… To break up…”

“Lurururumimimimikakakaka!!!
Come on, stand up, stand up, bebebebebe!!!”

“I-I can’t.
Sorry.
I will never, ever do that.”

Rumika was shedding the tears she couldn’t shed that day.
Kneeling despondently on her floor.

If you can’t call me… You have to seal me

“Ssssstelteltelteltelalalarala!!!”

A pink-haired little queen wearing Valkyrie armor.
I saw two Gods of Destruction, entangled with black tentacles and dark gray tentacles, devouring and burning each other.
I don’t have much reason left either.
If I lose my temper and lose sight of Alberic and turn off the blue light, the world is over.
So, I must become a God of Destruction and burn forever with the other Gods of Destruction.

“Cha Cha Cha Dimension Won Won Won Won Won Won Moon Moon Moon Moon!!
Mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-mu-moo-low-low-low-low-low-low-low-low-low-low-low-low-low-low-ro-ro-ro-!!!”

Falling into an endless abyss.

Beep beep… !

Tinnitus.
Losing mind.
Disappearing opposite sex.

I don’t know what spirit I had with Stella in the last conversation.

“!!!!”

“… !”

“!”

“…”

Now that I’ve lost my temper, I can’t even understand the short words of that little angel who pours out tears.

Gee-ing!

Girl country.

He opened a fusion special move, the ‘Infinite Ojak Bridge connecting the five-color Milky Way’.

A skill that uses the authority of the system.
With this, without disabling the dimensional gateway, he could go beyond the demon realm and go straight into the abyss drilled in the demon realm and throw Alberic.

“I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine.”

Falling forever, into an endless pit.
To seal the God of Destruction so that it will never crawl out again.
What I am entangled in, burning the God of Destruction forever.
That is my choice, my end.
If you can’t kill it, you must seal it!

“Sasa sa sa sa love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.”

Last Farewell.

“…”

With tears in her eyes, Stella shook his hand.
A really sweet kid.
I force myself to smile, even if it’s for the last time, to show my smiling face.

“Aaaaa… !!!!!!”

Angela lies on the ground and weeps.

“…”

You will still be down, but you will always be worried about me.

And.

“Brother.
Bye.
I will go first.”

“No, Your Majesty!”

Woowook!

Put the hell sword of self-destruction into your neck,

Dump…

Falling Rumica.

Shu Woo-wook!

And.
A silver-haired angel entering the closed infinite Ojakgyo.

“Did I promise you?
… I will always be with Kamyu-sama.”

Shiriririk! Tup!

Whirling rirririric!

Chuhuaaaaa!

Marie was entangled in black tentacles and dark gray tentacles, and was sucked into my side.

Tup! Turn up! Tup!

The saintess of the sun who embraces me tenderly in the midst of the endlessly attacking tentacles.

Whoa-!

She protected herself with a shield, covering me with warm light and warmth.

Shuhuaaaaa!!!

The saintess threw her body endlessly into the bottomless hole with the two gods of destruction.
An eternal seal against the Gods of Destruction.

“I love you, Camus.”

If she’s alive, she’ll block the god of destruction when he tries to climb.
By sealing the bottomless pit with the miracle of sunlight.
… I don’t know how long I can last.

“!!!!!”

Alberic has already lost his reason.
No, Destroyer.

“…”

I was losing my reason.
I can’t even open my mouth, and where my arms and tongue used to be, there are only dark gray tentacles.
Last thing you did.

Tring-.

My last gift.
My last confession

[Player 2, ‘Kamu Bernstein’ has designated Player 2’s heroine, ‘Marianne’, as their natural match.]

[Share the system message window.]

[Player 2, ‘Kamu Bernstein’ swears eternal love to Player 2’s heroine, ‘Marianne’.]

[No trials and tribulations, doubts, sorrows, despairs, even the infinite flow of time will not be able to break their love.]

Sorry.
Thank you.
And I love you.

Marianne laughed silently at the message that appeared in front of her eyes.
And I held my face tightly to her chest.

Shuhuaaaaa… !!

Like that, like that…

Together, endlessly, into the abyss.

Infinitely, forever.

Would have fallen
.
.
.

If it was the way it was, it would have been.

“So, didn’t you tell me to come back after a while?”

A voice I heard someday.

“When a descendant like you comes to the Black Sun, my ears become sore that I can’t stand it.”

A voice full of mischief and seriousness, oddly resembling his father.

“The next time I see you, I hoped it would be in the very, very distant future…”

The first demon, Angmar.

How is he here… !

Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why! Why!

[System Warning! System Alert! System Alert! System Alert! System Alert! System Alert! System Alert! System Alert! System Warning!]

How… ?!

“That girl who swore to love you, she was pretty good at swordsmanship.
I didn’t expect to create a rift in the dimension and even cut a bit of the system’s defenses!
Ah, is this love?”

[The first demon, Angmar, illegally invaded the system!!]

“I did too.
My wife misses me, yes.”

It seems that romanticist blood runs through his veins.

[This is regarded as treason to the system and will be destroyed immediately!]

“Help me, this is the last time.”

Angmar, you… !

“Didn’t I tell you last time?
If even my spiritual body is going to disappear.
I will leave you as a descendant.”

A tiger is a skin, and a person is a name… ?
What he left behind was me.

Tsutsutsu… !

Angmar’s disappearing spirit body.

“It is a gift to descendants.
Good.
And remember.”

Psssss… !

Angmar was shattered from his feet before he knew it, turning into powder and flying away.

“The dead do not come back alive.”

The neck down is now gone.

“Please, live today.”

Softly… !

Angmar is gone.

[System Error! System Error! System Error! System Error! System Error! System Error! System Error! System error!]

[Angmar… Spiritualization… Extinction… Cost… Scenario… Forbidden Rewind…]

Beep-beep-!

Tinnitus ringing in the ears.

Piri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li

The whole world turned upside down.

Mari walked away from my arms, I returned from the abyss to Middle-earth, the annihilation hellsword was pulled out of Rumika’s throat, and the blood that gushed out returned to its original place.
The open wounds were filled, and Angela, who had fallen on the floor and wailed, got up again, and Stella cried and laughed and uttered a spell again before flying back again.

And me too.

Wow!

***

“Uh?!?!”

Suddenly.
Originally.
To the healthy body of the demons.
Was back
No.

“All troops, launch incendiary bombs!
Lumica, magic dye!
All Special Mages, use the most powerful fire magic available!
The goal is the center of the God of Destruction!
Any form of physical or magical attack other than fire-attribute attacks is not allowed!”

Giving an attack order to Alberic, who has turned into a god of destruction.
To the past…
I can’t believe it, but back in the past… Was back

“Uh?!”

I can’t even believe what I said.
No this… Isn’t that the time right before the self-destruct plan?!?!

I was watching the incendiary bullets and fire magic of the catapult flying blankly.

Clink.

Rumika, who missed the annihilation hell sword, looked at me in disbelief.
This!
Psychological shock to the mother is dangerous!

Dig! Flutter, Flutter!
Bang!

“Rumica!”

Flew over and hugged

“Uh, huh? Uh?
I just… My brother is like that, and I’m sure… Self…”

“Rumica, Rumica!
Calm down!”

“Uh, uh, uh?
My brother… How…”

“Look at me!
Are you okay!”

“Uh…?”

“Angmar sacrificed himself, and he returned to his place!”

“Uh… ?”

Tears flowing silently.
Damn!

Mental stability!

Parts zuz zuzz… !

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa…”

“Yes.
Slowly… Are you okay.
It’s really okay.
I am fine.”

“Oh… Bar… ?
Really still… It’s okay…”

She is very strong, has strong magical powers, and is a very strong girl demon king.
To me, she is just a cute and lovely disciple and wife.

“Are you okay.
This time, I will save myself too.”

“I see…
My brother became like that, and then he came back…”

“Okay.”

“Chief…”

“You… Did you know
In Trial by Fire…”

“Huh…”

And Lumica.
Already.
That I would meet such an end.
I knew.

Still, I loved it.
The rest of the time, I swore to love me and spend it by my side, and I kept it.
Even if I knew that I would soon turn into a god of destruction and die.

“Nevertheless, I love you.”

“Rumika…”

Do you want to hold me like that?

“Kamuniyeeeee!!”

The Saint of the Sun, who had apparently jumped into the abyss with me, flew in and embraced me.

“Kamyu, Kamyu, Kamyu, Kamyu, Kamyu, Kamyu, Kamyu, Kamyu, Kamyu, Kamyu, Kamyu!”

Wow!

He hugged Rumika and me.

For me, not to leave me alone.
Marie threw herself into the infinite dark pit.
If it hadn’t been for her, she would have greeted her last moments lonely, lonely, and empty…
In the darkness of eternity where there is no one.

“Camyu-sama, heuh, Kamyu-nim really, heuheugh!
Too much… !”

“Are you okay.
You’re back.”

“From now on, if you decide that on your own, I really won’t let you go… !”

“Zoo-guuuuun!”

Angela flew in and hugged her again,

“Stupid Mewuuuuu!!!”

Stella flew in, and she dug between them.
We hugged each other and felt each other’s warmth for a while.

“Our Kamyu, you are alive…”

“My lord, my lord… You’re back… !”

“Stupid mu… Really…”

He soothed the weeping wives with body heat and mental stabilization magic.
Those who believe in me and break down mental barriers.
I stretched out my spiritual body’s hand to my brain and touched it warmly.

“It’s okay, I’m back.
It’s really fine.”

Consolation conveyed directly through the mind and spirit.
He patted his wives and looked up at the tentacle tree.

“Shoot!”

“All batteries, fire!”

Puff! Quaang!
Roaring!

The God of Destruction was hit by an incendiary bullet, causing one tentacle to burn.
Then, two tentacles popped out on the spot.

“General!
Playback is too fast!”

Nothing was resolved.

“What, the general just now… Didn’t you self-destruct?”

“What, what happened… ?”

I’m bewildered, but in the meantime, soldiers shooting catapults and shooting magic.
I was so surprised that my body just moved as I was accustomed to.
The officers are also frantic not knowing what it is, but they just did what they had to do.
These are the people who went through the war.
The look of a veteran soldier.

“Your majesty! Great General!
What now?!”

The belief that we will do something about it.
Having seen the sacrificing of their lives by burning, they have expectations.

“Give me orders!”

Kwajik! Kwajak!

Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah Kwah… !

What had been Alberic had grown so large that it now filled the gaps between walls, and like kudzu vines, its tentacles dug in between the walls, causing the bricks and stones to collapse.

… What should I do now?

“General.
Did you ask for help even when you saw Van Dark?”

Tsutsutsutsutsutsutsu!

A super-large magic circle drawn on the floor and sky where the God of Destruction has taken root.
A magic circle for terrain change that is bigger than a magic circle for summoning a dragon.

Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching! Parching!…

And smaller than that, but a magic circle the size of a house, wrapped around the body of the God of Destruction.
Appeared countless times.
Soaring to the end of the sky, there were so many tentacles that even pierced the clouds.

“Now with this, let’s do it without debt.”

Old wizard.
Elder Lich.
With magic polished so that her flesh turns to dust and disappears.
Like that ‘cursed land’ over there, with the power that permanently changed even the terrain and overturned the forces of nature.
Caught the God of Destruction

“That said, shouldn’t those who left first have to come back…? .”

The skeleton’s jaw rattled as brown light poured from the skeleton staff in her hand.
The blue robe fluttered, exposing the skeleton’s body inside.

“Now I am tired of waiting for those who have gone before me.”

Oh oh oh… !!

Two huge magic circles appearing in the sky and on the ground.
The black clouds and brown light emitted from there imprisoned the God of Destruction.
And.

“Reverse gravity.
Force field.”

Gravity reversal within the magic circle.
And the gravitational field that prevented the God of Destruction from escaping from the magic circle.
Double spell already.
But if you add that huge magic circle drawn in the sky and the ground and the magic circle surrounding it… How many alternate spells are there?!

Deed deed… !

Don’t fall…!

Even the black tentacles stuck between the walls like tree roots were plucked out and flew into the air.

It was a magic that Rousseau and dragons often used.
Even then, it was not enough to pull out a tree with tentacles large enough to believe that it was a world tree and toss it into the air.

“I’m tired, so I’ll go now.”

Coo kung! Coo kung! Fuss Luck!

The golems and skeleton soldiers inside and outside the castle collapsed and shattered.
Now that they don’t even have the magical power to control them, they intend to extract them all and use them.

Sarah la la…

Did you say back and forth?

The last light emitted before death.
As long as the life vessel is preserved, it was a lich that would live forever.
In order to annihilate that God of Destruction, even that mighty Elder Lich had to gather all his strength.

Perseok! Perseok!

Pleasant love!

Even the Guardian Dragons of Amitie ran away in fear, and the Bone Dragon and Ghost Dragons were scattered into powder.
There is no magic power to devote to controlling and maintaining creatures.

Sarah La La Rock…

“My son, I really wanted to save him…”

Due to the strong wind, the hood of the blue robe came off.
What was revealed was not a skeleton, but a human woman.
The woman drawn in the picture in Van Dark’s arms.

“It was greed.
It was an obsession.
The dead don’t come back.”

The appearance of her back was quite majestic and sorrowful.
