Chapter 401 Alexander (6)
The word people.
There was a ripple in my mind.
Aleksandr involuntarily asked in a cautious voice, knowing that he shouldn’t.
“… Are you really the Heavenly Demon, Baek Joong-hyuk?”
“okay.”
“under.”
The strength of the body was released.
The war isn’t over yet.
Now was not the time to accept reality, but it was a situation where he had to fight back by gathering even a little bit of his remaining strength.
But Alexander couldn’t. I am Baek Joong-hyeok, the heavenly demon.
At the fact that he had dared to deal with a god-like being, Alexander covered his face as if in pain.
‘I really was an insignificant existence.’
Meantime.
There were several opportunities to ascertain the truth.
Even after seeing Roman Dmitri fighting, Alexander couldn’t figure out what martial arts really was.
It was pathetic.
When the storyteller tells the story of the Heavenly Demon, her eyes light up like a child, but when she faces the Heavenly Demon, she draws conclusions that have nothing to do with the truth like an open-eyed blind man.
The leader of the Murim League, an executive-level figure in the Cheonma Shinkyo, and so on.
He proved how humble he was by considering his absurd speculation plausible.
I knew it too.
that this is your level.
If he hadn’t been born in a new environment called Alexander, he would have lived a normal life until the moment he died and died normally.
There is a saying called nangjungjichu (????).
There was a reason why Kim Pan-seok lived as an ordinary man at a time when Baek Joong-hyeok’s presence pierced his pocket and commanded the world.
to know that
I was greedy.
He was constantly greedy for fear that the wealth and fortune he always held in his hands might scatter like sand, and suffered from a burning thirst.
An insatiable life originated from a previous life.
If he had been satisfied with his reputation as the founder of the aura in the position of emperor, the demon king’s whispers would not have broken him.
I raised my head.
Roman Dmitri’s presence under the blue sky overwhelmed him.
‘Maybe I wanted to be like Baek Joong-hyeok, the heavenly demon.’
current life.
I hoped it would be different from my previous life.
Just as Baek Joong-hyeok took people’s cheers for granted, he wanted to become a person like Baek Joong-hyeok.
I thought that I might be able to create a reality that I only imagined every day in a new world.
At least in the days when he was called the originator of the aura, Alexander swung his sword until his hands were stained with blood while indulging in such fantasies.
The heavenly demon, Baek Joong-hyeok.
It meant that to Alexander.
He was a dreamer and an object of longing, and what he really wanted was not just to conquer the continent, but to command the whole world with a single sword like Baek Jung-hyeok.
I didn’t know what to do in my complicated mind.
Disoriented, Alexander looked up at Roman Dmitri in silence without saying a word.
‘… Can’t I live for the person I longed for even now?’
already.
late.
His soul belonged to the devil, and he committed numerous incidents that could not undo his relationship with Roman Dmitri.
It would have been easier if I hadn’t known the truth.
If he had been a Murim master who only knew his name roughly, Alexander would not have shown such a shabby figure swayed by emotional agitation.
Lips trembled.
Alexander struggled to open his mouth.
“We are already late.”
That moment.
Flash.
Roman Dmitry beheaded Alexander.
* * *
Alexander’s body is dead.
but.
spirit was alive.
A part of his soul belonged to the demon king, so Alexander visited the demon king in the state of his soul.
“Demon King. please save me There’s a reason they lost this time. If you give me one last chance, I will fully explain the reason for the defeat and come up with new countermeasures.”
moment of death.
Accepted reality.
Baek Joong-hyeok, the heavenly demon, became Roman Dmitri, and the intertwined relationship was not a problem that could be solved just by reaching out his hand.
In that sense, Roman Dmitri cut his throat at once.
It meant that he would not accept Alexandre’s existence, and Alexander came to his senses and focused on reality.
I still didn’t have the confidence to face the Heavenly Demon.
but.
I had to survive somehow.
Showing his intense longing for life, Alexander asked in an earnest voice.
however.
“Alexander. Do you know why I made you, a mere human, my servant?”
“… I do not know.”
I raised my head.
The demon king’s appearance was like that of a human.
The body might not be like that, but there was something about the wide-eyed eyes and long black hair that caught the eye.
“The biggest reason is that you are the one who causes the rift in the dimension. Only if you were alive would the rift in the dimension deepen, and that alone was enough to make you worthwhile. But there was no reason to make him a servant like he is now. The reason I accepted you was because of your inferiority complex that you couldn’t acknowledge yourself.”
Alexander.
It was a fun existence.
In the eyes of ordinary people, he had already risen to a position worthy of admiration, but he did not believe in his humble origins and suffered from an inferiority complex every day.
That piqued the demon king’s interest.
When the demon king reached out to the devil, Alexander hoped that he would solve his problem with an inferiority complex in his eyes.
“It was kind of fun. It was quite worth seeing you being even more anxious when I gave you what you wanted. however… .”
smiled coldly.
When the demon king rose from his seat, he transformed into a monster in turn from the tips of his feet, revealing a huge presence.
soaked in darkness
Horns sprouting from the head of a gigantic body.
With black hair that grew like a mane and red eyes, Alexandre felt the pressure that oppressed his body.
“Your role ends here. There is no longer any interest to be gained from you, and since you have been living as Alexander, the boundary between the underworld and the terrestrial world has already largely collapsed. Even if you don’t exist, assimilation in two dimensions will happen. In the near future, the gateway to the demon realm will be completely opened.”
It was soon.
The people of the Salamander Continent will witness the world turn dark.
and.
“Then there is no place for you in the new world.”
* * *
With the last word.
Alexander’s soul fell into the bottom of the abyss.
A place that extinguishes the soul.
As the demons of the spirits swarmed around him, Alexander crouched down and giggled.
“Damn you bastard. In the end, you abandon me.”
I had expected.
While living for the devil, he realized that his existence was not that important to him.
It’s just a tool that induces a crack in the dimension. After achieving his purpose, there was no reason to keep himself alive.
So I hung on even more tenaciously.
I wanted to be recognized for my existence.
but.
this was the reality.
Looking at Alexander, who visited him for the last time, the demon king spoke of the reality he had been playing with like a toy.
“Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.”
“Krurrukruk.”
Demons flocked.
over the dark.
A red light flickered.
Alexander crouched down even more, unable to contain the laughter that escaped his lips.
“Demon King. You shouldn’t have left me like this. If you die because you are abandoned so that you cannot read my memories, all memories will disappear at that moment. I put a mental spell in my head. It means that no one but me will be able to recognize the true identity of Roman Dmitri.”
no one was listening
alone.
continued to mumble.
He faced the red light with a mad face.
“Roman Dmitri is an existence that even you, the king of the demon realm, cannot guarantee victory for. He is a god-like being beyond human limits. Do you understand what mistake you made Although I will disappear from this world, you will forever regret abandoning me in what you are about to do.”
It was then.
“Kyaaak!”
“Kyakyakyaek.”
The demons ran.
Black shimmering demons, as if a shadow had permeated them, bit Alexandre’s body.
To be precise, it was a soul in the form of a body.
Despite the pain of being torn apart, Alexander laughed like a madman.
drowned in imagination
Just like the time when I dreamed of commanding Moorim.
Unlike the reality where the body is torn apart, in the imagination, Alexander existed as the heavenly demon, Baek Joong-hyeok.
It was fantastic.
Imagination was more clear because I confirmed the real thing.
current life.
I suffered from an inferiority complex every time.
And ironically, he felt completely liberated now that he had met someone he had no choice but to admit.
Kwadeuk.
quadruple.
Demons biting without hesitation.
like that.
Alexander fell slowly, very slowly, into the abyss.
* * *
That time.
Cairo was in a festive mood.
It was a perfect victory.
In the situation where the Kronos Empire was defeated, people praised Roman Dmitri and shouted victory cheers.
Emperor Alexander.
He is dead.
Roman Dmitry won and people felt that the war that had been pushed to the brink had been reversed.
that afternoon.
A meeting was called.
All the leaders in the conference room showed a lot of excited expressions.
“Thanks to Roman Dmitri’s handling of Alexander, I was able to easily deal with the enemies who had lost their fighting spirit. It’s a real win. In this battle, the damage to our allies was not great, but the enemies were completely annihilated.”
“This opportunity should not end like this. This is Emperor Alexander. The fact that the ghost of the past, which should have been dead, is still alive is clear evidence that the Kronos Empire has dabbled in black magic. We have to put pressure on the Kronos Empire based on that fact from now on. If they inform the world of their mistakes, even the Valhalla Empire will lose its cause to help the Cronus Empire.”
Alexander used black magic.
People clearly witnessed the raising of the dead, and it was a very serious problem that could not be overlooked.
According to the laws of the continent, those who invaded the forbidden area had to be punished by the entire continent.
For the Valhalla Empire, as explained earlier, the justification for participating in this war would disappear.
Cairo’s leadership said.
“you’re right. If a truce is negotiated, Alexander’s presence and the use of black magic will give you an advantage. Just give me orders. I will send a messenger right away to inform you of the kingdom’s unity.”
all of the leaders.
I saw Roman Dmitry.
The decision-making power rested with him.
If he says he understands, this war will end like this.
however.
“No, we will continue the war.”
“… Are you saying you want to see the end?”
everyone.
He reacted with bewilderment.
The war is not over yet.
In order to deal with the remaining forces of Cronus and Valhalla, he would have to prepare for huge damage, but he could not readily accept the words that he would go all the way.
Didn’t they already have an advantage?
If a truce is negotiated well, the Kronos Empire’s ankles can be shackled to create a secure future.
It was an easy road.
There was no need to go the hard way.
said Roman Dmitry.
“Whether Kronos used the powers of darkness or not, the fact does not matter. We have already vaguely guessed the truth of Kronos from a long time ago. Just looking at the example of Hector’s kingdom, there was plenty of evidence to criticize them. However, because I did not have the power to touch them, I could not bear to reveal the truth even if they committed all sorts of atrocities.”
“Now things are different. If we press on, Kronos will have no choice but to raise a white flag.”
“I guess so. However, that alone cannot compensate for the damage caused by the war. Countless people have already died, and a more reliable response is needed to prevent a similar incident from happening again in the future.”
Moment.
People’s expressions changed.
As Roman Dmitry says.
They felt a strange tension.
It was then.
“That’s why I want to take this opportunity to destroy Cronus and Valhalla and conquer the Salamander continent.”
Continent Conquest.
I got goosebumps.
A realm that criminals would not even dare to think of.
All the leaders in the conference room were in great shock.
