Chapter 266 – The World of Dreams #03

Dreamers don’t have nightmares.

It is a race that does not need to sleep in the first place, but considering that dream manipulation is the representative power of dreamers, even the most incompetent dreamers can control their own dreams freely.

“It’s a nightmare… This is a nightmare… !!”

Among those dream demons, Lilith’s alter ego her, the most powerful being, was actually experiencing a nightmare she had n’t even felt for the first time in her life.

Inside Tartarus, Lilith, an alter ego who should be more almighty than any other being in this world, is running away in fear of at most a single human being.

“Why aren’t you disappearing! How far are you chasing me!”

There shouldn’t be any variables in this world that you can’t control. However, that blood-soaked madman cannot be affected by any of his powers in her.

Can’t stop or stop The alter ego-Lilith looked at Artin with a stunned expression, feeling fear beyond her imagination at the unknown existence that transcended her common sense of her.

At the same time Artine stopped hammering her for a moment and knocked on her door. Her eyes his met hers.

“Is the door stronger than I thought? Wait a minute… I’ll open it and go in soon!”
“Quaaaaa!!!”

Looking at Artin, who smiled coolly at herself, the alter ego-Lilith started a match and screamed.

Have to run away I have to run away, but my legs are so weak that even standing is difficult.

“That, the Royal Guard! Stop that man from opening the door!”

In the end, paralyzed by her reason her, she waved her hands in the air and screamed loudly, summoning the elite royal guard made up of only her advanced demons.

… Of course, according to common sense, there is no way that her guards who couldn’t stop Artin even when they were in regimental units could stop Artin, but this is the best she can do.

“Ha…You still haven’t given up? Plaguy.”

As the guards slammed the door shut with her body her, Artin, who clenched her tongue in boredom, began muttering something to her for a while.

──Fuck!
“Heeheeeee!!”

In an instant, one of the guards who had been blocking the door with his whole body collapsed causing blood to squirt from his body her. The black blood spurted towards the alter ego-Lilith’s face her, making her upper body her covered in blood.

Perseok! Crispy! Kwajik!
Immediately after that, the body of the guards became rags or full of holes. The crystal magic that Artin shot through the gap in the door pierced through the bodies of the guards, which were harder than metal, and killed instantly.

Hehe… I have to run…”

Seeing this terrible scene, the alter ego – Lilith was completely disillusioned.

That kind of thing is not a warrior. No, I wouldn’t even be able to become a hero’s ally. Rather, something as brutal as a butcher or a slayer would be more appropriate.

“Demon King Niim… Harmon… Eldritchi… Whoa… Whoa, save me…”

Her alter ego-Lilith trembled and crawled across her floor with her arms her, but she struggled to escape.

In fact, I wanted to release Tartarus and run away to the castle, but I was afraid that if I did, I would not be able to reach the castle and be killed by that man.

──Enjoy!

“Where are you running? Are you going to play with me and lock me in this world and run away again?”
“Heeep?!”

When one of her spears was fired over her own head her and pierced right in front of her eyes, the alter ego-Lilith had to look back at her with her trembling whole body frozen.

There stood Artin, who had finally smashed the door. He smashed the head of the guard without hesitation and smiled refreshingly.

“Now, let’s wrap up and start the story. Lilith?”

Burr. The alter ego – Lilith’s body trembled lightly at that kind voice. For some reason, the bottoms felt hot and damp, but it was probably because they were covered in the blood of the Royal Guard.

*

“So… Have you given up on running away now?”

No no no! When Artin, who had finished with the guards, asked himself while wiping the blood from his face his, the alter ego-Lilith nodded vigorously.

“It should be. Do you know how long it took to chase after you?”

Artin did not hide his displeasure at Lilith, who nodded his head obediently with a complete loss of fighting spirit. Hide-and-seek with Lilith is not a pleasant game now that real lovers and friends may die at any moment.

“Ahhh… That, that’s…”
“When you say nice things, release Tartarus. If you do as I say, I will kill you as painlessly as possible.”
“Lord, kill me… ? Me, me?”
“Of course. Did you think I would let you live?”

At Lilith’s words, Artin looked at him in amazement and clicked his tongue.

The power of Lilith right in front of him is obviously not enough compared to the real Lilith he knew, but he still has enough power.

As it even possesses the power of Tartarus, which is close to Lilith’s special move, this guy must be a special alter ego created by Lilith himself.

‘If Shirka can absorb this alter ego, it will be of great help to her powers her. Even if he can’t absorb it, if he kills it on the spot, he’ll put one of the four major followers out of power.’

So you can never let it go alive. A good opportunity like this doesn’t come often, and Artin couldn’t miss it just because the dream horse in front of him looked sexy.

“…Why?”
“?”
“Why…Why are you trying to kill me…? What did I do so wrong…?”

When Lilith asked with tears in her eyes, Artin couldn’t help but be taken aback. He attacked himself and his allies his first, so why is he trying to kill them?

“I, I didn’t mean to kill you! Hi! I just raised him kindly and well, heek, I even thought of making him my closest confidant, higub. I did…”
“…So I should be grateful for that?”

Artin was dumbfounded and speechless. No, that suggestion made me hate her if I hated her. It’s nothing to be thankful for.

Right now in real life, while lovers are fighting for their lives, if you are enjoying sex intensely to hold hands with Lilith, is that a human being?

‘If that’s the case, I’d be a beast, not a human. No matter how much they secretly enjoyed the 4P orgy…’

Besides, Artin has seen it countless times in his previous life. How many evil deeds were committed by people corrupted by Lilith because of her ‘request’ of her.

“In the first place, I have absolutely no intention of keeping the 4th generation of the Demon King’s army alive. I’ve seen how many terrible things these guys have done. And you are ‘Lilith’ right? Of course you have to kill him.”
“That… That… “
“It’s the ‘Lilith’ you chose. Accept it as evil. Got it?”

At Artin’s calm words, she said, ‘Lilith’s face her was drained of blood. The intent to kill in that voice, which seemed trivial, was so clear and distinct that there was not even a word to deny it. And she was sure.

──I will be killed by this man today. Because he is ‘Lilith’ himself.

“…Uh”
“..Yes? What?”
“No…! I hate it!! Why do I have to die!!!”

It is unfair. I’m sorry Lilith’s alter ego couldn’t understand why he had to die as ‘Lilith’.

“I am not a substitute for the main body!! It’s a different existence from the body! But why do I have to die because I am the same as the main body! I haven’t killed a single person since I was born! But why do I have to accept it as evil!!”

He is clearly a being born of her. Itself cannot be denied. However, the alter ego did not think for a moment that it was the same existence as ‘Lilith’.

Isn’t that why he tried to make Artine his subordinate instead of killing or sealing it? The alter ego never wanted to accept being used and absorbed by the main body according to its intentions his.

“I am me! It’s ‘I’ not ‘Lilith’!! If you’re going to kill me, I’d rather kill you because you hate me! I hate having to die as a substitute for my body more than dying!!! Don’t say no!!!!”

‘She’, who received too much authority and power from ‘Lilith’ to hinder Artine, naturally also shared the memories of ‘Lilith’.

However, I don’t like it when my identity becomes a ‘tool for the main body’.

I want to live my own life too. I want to have my own things and be acknowledged for being ‘me’, not ‘Lilith’.

But, after all, the whining of a child and the cry full of contradictions. It’s nothing more than a muddler full of evil that has no reason to keep listening to it.

“…”

Artin, or ‘Artin’, listened silently to such complaints.

Of course, I don’t think that statement is reasonable. There was absolutely no reason to just let the demons who approached him with hostility live.

However, in order to silence the ‘alter ego’, Artin did not swing his hammer and knock his head down.

‘…It’s okay, I shouldn’t listen again for nothing.’

Have to kill But the moment he heard that cry, Artin felt hesitation. This is because in the past he felt some kind of identification with the woman in front of her who was going through the troubles he did.

‘Jae and I are different. I attacked a lot first anyway, so in this world, it’s self-defense. They’re enemies in the first place.’

I know rationally. I know. The mind is different.

In the appearance of the ‘alter ego’ shedding tears, for some reason, Artin kept shimmering at himself in the first playthrough.

-“Artin, are you…Really the Artin I used to know?”-

‘Ah, fuck.’

The hammer has no power. Realizing that fact, Artin frowned.

The essence is determined by oneself, not by others. Now, the woman in front of me is crying that she is not ‘Lilith’. Then, even if no one else knows, you have to believe in yourself…

…Just like Xiaomei and Zorba did to him in the first round.

“Are you really sure that you are different from Lilith?”
“… Hi?”

After bursting into resentment, the ‘alter elf’, who had been sitting lethargic as if it was okay, slowly raised its head.

“Are you sure that your essence is not ‘Lilith’ but an independent entity that was just created?”
“…No, that’s right. I am not Lilith. I am me…!”
“Whoa…Okay, I’ll give you just one chance to live.”
“A chance to live…?”

As he thought that he might be able to live, the eyes of his ‘alternate self’ came alive, and Artin sighed, generating black energy from his fingertips and writing down the spell in the air.

‘I don’t have fragments of the ancient gods… But because I have the power of Mephisto.’

When the preparations for the ceremony were over, the ‘contract’ created by the authority of Mephisto, the lord of the contract, was floating in the air.

“Read. Read and sign below. Then I will save you.”
“This…”

The ‘alter ego’, who wiped his blurred vision by rubbing his eyes with his arm, slowly read the ‘contract’. And when he confirmed all of that, his face became even more blue than before.

“S-Familiar…?”
“Yes, because I can’t release you and I can’t just let you live. Live a proper life slowly by my side…”
“T-that means you’re going to fuck me like a dog?!”
“..What?”
“Now that you’ve become a servant, you’re going to do naughty things to me who can’t resist! Just like you did with Sirka!”

When the ‘alter ego’ hurriedly covered the exposed breastbone with both arms, Artin’s expression his, which had been trying to show pure good intentions, was drastically distorted.

‘Everyone of the dreammaran race has their brains stained with Hitomi.’
“You can’t say anything! As expected, I prefer meldom over femdom! That’s why me…!”

Artin started to fall into the urge that it would be more convenient to just kill his ‘alternative self’ right here.
