0.01 Second Sword Master Episode 100

Pooh-!

The feeling of stabbing the other person and penetrating the back spread all over my body along the handle.

“Kuh-!”

I let out a short moan and looked at the figure slowly emerging.

“how······.”

My bravado burned like fire in the black devil’s eyes.

“Did you know how to avoid these eyes by hiding in the dark? You are cheeky.”

“indeed······. Did you know from the start?”

Of course, I didn’t know from the beginning.

Natasha started to run wild, and after that, I only vaguely saw this guy’s information.

[Deior]

Deior, the demon of desire.

It was a demon that hid in the shadows, controlled the opponent, and exploded that desire to ruin.

If you follow the original story, Natasha is not corrupted by the devil, but she herself is corrupted and joins hands with the devil to expel her magic power.

But here, it seemed as if the devil had run amok.

If he hadn’t checked the blurry information window behind Natasha, the knife would have stabbed Natasha in the neck, not the devil’s heart.

“But you can’t kill me with just this sword. I am a remnant of desire, and I can gather my strength and live anywhere where there is greed and envy. No matter how strong your power is, you can’t kill me in this place full of human greed.”

Deior is an existence that feeds on desire.

Where there is strong desire, his power becomes stronger.

“They are all slaves to desire. They want to be the strongest on the continent, and they want to have everything on this continent. I can feel the desire flowing from them. Then how about you? Aren’t you no different from them? The stronger the person, the stronger the desire they have.”

Deior grabbed the sword that had pierced his heart.

“Shall we see how nasty and filthy your desire really is? The more filthy and bizarre the opponent’s desire is, the stronger my power becomes.”

Triumphantly, Deior spread his energy and tried to absorb the desire within me.

But he soon frowned.

“What is this?”

His bewildered voice trembled.

“I’m sure you have a distorted desire like them, but why are you here…!”

It was natural.

“I don’t have many wishes. No women, no mighty power, no ambition to conquer this continent. But there is only one more important and sacred mission than that.”

“…!”

“It is not desire, demon. This is just-”

Only the instinct to clear this game and survive safely!

“This is nonsense. A ruler like you, a strong man who makes this continent tremble, must have a twisted desire within him!”

Deior shouted as if he did not understand.

But I am neither a ruler nor a strong man who makes this continent tremble.

It’s just one player who somehow unluckily got sucked into this game.

“You will never realize, demon.”

“This, this can’t happen…!”

Light shimmered from the sword embedded in Deior’s body.

Did he feel this intense desire to eat this body quickly?

“So now quietly be a part of the path I want to walk.”

“Oh, no! no!!”

It struggled and struggled, but the predator opened its jaws and devoured his body in an instant, consuming the power of darkness within.

Kwaaa-!!

With a harsh scream, Deior’s body disappeared like dust.

The power of desire he spread also dissipated with a loud sound like a golden firecracker exploding.

“Oh, Aslan.”

Natasha, who was sitting next to me, was looking at me with trembling eyes.

Before she could say anything, the point of my knife went to her throat.

“You were careless this time, Natasha.”

“…”

“To think that being the archmage who leads a kingdom is merely enticed by the devil. Do you still think you can rule this country?”

I took the knife I was holding and put it in the scabbard.

“Repent. Natasha. Since you are my old master, I will pass today, but if this happens again, then I will mercilessly cut your throat.”

After that, I turned my back on Natasha.

And walked slowly.

“…”

Those who came to this place, driven by Natasha’s desire, were relieved thanks to me.

They were all looking at me.

Not one of them dared to stand in my way.

If anyone was standing in my way, he would quickly move away.

I walked forward, feeling strong bravado and infatuation in their gaze.

And the moment you reach that entrance.

[You have completed the hidden quest.]

– Defeat Deior, the demon of desire.

-You get 10 gold as a reward.

* * *

“Miss Natasha.”

“Are you okay?”

“Oh yeah.”

Natasha rose from her seat with the support of her men.

Then, she stared blankly at the place where Aslan had left.

“…a desire that even the devil cannot find.”

“Yes?”

“I mean Aslan. The demon who grew stronger by feeding on my desire couldn’t find any desire in Aslan. Do you think that makes sense?”

If you’re human, even if you’re a person with a position comparable to Aslan’s, of course, you’ll be full of desires.

But the devil couldn’t find the desire in Aslan. Rather, I saw something different and was greatly shocked by it.

Aslan called it his mission.

mission.

What on earth could it be that Aslan was able to rid himself of his desires?

“There must have been a reason not to fall for my tricks.”

Was that strong and solid mentality only because of the mission?

At first, I thought it was because of my heart for Hariel.

“hehehe. I mean it was.”

Was it because of Hariel or another woman that he hadn’t given himself away?

Furthermore, judging from the conversation between the demon and Aslan, it seemed that he was walking his own path alone and fighting a difficult battle.

Does that mean there could always be a crack in the lonely man’s heart?

“Natasha.”

thud-! It was Karman who was blocking her path with footsteps and an angry voice.

“There should be an accurate explanation for this.”

“Oh my goodness. Didn’t you see it before? I am also a victim of this. How are you supposed to stop the devil from cowardly entering my body and plotting such a thing?”

“Aren’t you the greatest wizard on the continent? But you couldn’t stop just one demon like that?”

“Even if I’m a great wizard, this is the first time I’m dealing with a demon. I’m not the kind of person who kills demons like Aslan.”

It was not wrong.

Except for Aslan, no one has ever properly dealt with demons here.

“Rather than arguing right and wrong here, shouldn’t we run to Aslan and bow our heads first to thank you, Karman-nim?”

“what?”

“At least we were all in big trouble, but thanks to Aslan, we survived.”

Karman bit his lip and turned around.

His thumping footsteps revealed his feelings.

‘Aslan.’

Karman was barely holding on to Natasha’s enchanting magic.

However, Aslan seemed to have no damage for some reason, rather, he released all the magic of the people here with his holy fire.

‘What the hell is that flame…’

The fire that was warm and sacred.

And the brilliance that radiated from Aslan’s body.

It was like seeing Rahal incarnated.

‘Maybe really-‘

Karman thought of something absurd for a moment.

Really, maybe Aslan…

* * *

‘It was cold.’

As he came out, his bravado, which had risen to the top of his head, cooled down and went down.

Originally, Alexander was supposed to stop Natasha from running amok, but that stupid guy fell for the same crazy charm, so I stepped in.

‘It might be fortunate that Deior caused it to run out of control.’

If Natasha had let her magic run wild on her own, the situation would have been far more dangerous than before.

Should I say that there is a limit to how much Deior can cause Natasha’s magical power to run out of control?

“Aslan!”

“Standby Division Commander!”

It wasn’t long before I saw my men running in a hurry.

Looking at them, the cold bravado boiled over again.

I looked at them with contempt.

“The pitiful bastards.”

“…”

“It’s because the mental strength of my subordinates is so poor.”

It was impossible for them to survive when that Karman also fell for Natasha’s charm.

“Still, I was able to hold on thanks to the holy water of the commander of the grand division! If you pour holy water filled with Aslan’s great divine power, you will be able to withstand any demonic magic…”

“Aaron.”

I called out to Aaron, who was chattering in excitement.

“Don’t make a fuss.”

“Ah, yes…”

Aaron quickly lowered his head.

However, looking at her twitching lips, it seems that she intends to go to the bar again today and stir up people to the fullest.

“Those next to the continent’s strongest must also be the strongest. If you see an ugliness like today again, then you will have no choice but to doubt that quality. Always harden your mind and train your body.”

“Yes!”

“If you understand, everyone leave.”

I was able to enter the lodging only after sending them off.

I was relieved that I could rest now, but-

“It’s nice to see you again, Aslan.”

An uninvited guest had entered my dorm.

I narrowed my brows as I looked at that eerie face.

[Tercana]

Tercana, a human and helper of demons.

Nom’s character is set up as a psychopath, so he doesn’t care whether a human dies at the hands of the devil, the celestial world, or is destroyed by someone else.

In addition, he was closer to the devil despite being human because he only followed his own desires.

Should I say that he is a more demonic character than a demon?

Such a bastard was now freely entering my sacred quarters.

“Did you come because you wanted to die?”

“Don’t you know Asla-sama too? That this body is just a fake.”

“Do you know where the body that controls your empty shell is, I can’t find it?”

“Because I know that too, I hold onto my heart and tremble every time.”

trembling horns.

On the contrary, I know that it is thrilling and enjoyable.

“I just came today because I have something to tell you. I have no intention of ever pretending to be with you. So can you please listen to what I have to say?”

It’s the first time I’ve seen Tercana show such a polite attitude towards someone.

It’s because he was always arrogant and arrogant and just led the continent to destruction according to his own desires.

Even so, no player has ever caught and killed Tercana.

I also played the game countless times, but in the end, I couldn’t kill Tercana.

“I know your strength. That omnipotence that can use light and darkness at the same time! You are doing what even that Rahal couldn’t do. It was the same thing today. You have overcome Natasha’s fascination that no one can resist.”

This was the first line I had ever heard.

Was Tercana the kind of person who could say such a thing?

Wasn’t he the one who made players cry their fists because he always threw out a few unlucky words and then disappeared?

“There I realized. That I finally found the person I was looking for all along.”

And suddenly, Tercana got down on one knee and said,

“I am the one who follows the devil and brings them to this continent. But the king who should lead them is asleep, and the situation is full of chaos. But you can take his place.”

It was then.

[A new main quest is activated.]

Suddenly, a main quest appeared that could end the game here.

[The King of Demons]

– Become the king of all demons and conquer the continent.

– The game ends when the quest is completed.

It was a new quest that had never been seen before.
