Dungeon Defense

‘Just as mortals breathe, so all things are breathing. The disease is the same. If you have one rest, you will have one breath, and the continent will be engulfed in a whirlwind. I call it the black cloud. ’

Prophecies.

This ability is widely known as the Demon King's Traded Patent from Whales.

When the Demon King was regarded as a god, he was called a trust. Over the years, or as mysteries began to unfold in the world, people no longer believed in the Demon King's prophecy.

The Demon King with the ability to prophesy disappeared. Horse scholars are gathering debate, ’Isn't the Demon King mistaken for a prophecy of the future because he is more intelligent than the culprit?’

King Dantalian has the power of prophecy?

That can't be right. Lapis' rationality immediately disproved. No matter how unpredictable the future may be.

…… but were you hiding such a sense of intimidation?

Lapis drools in his mouth. The voice of the Demon King Dantalian beats her like thunder.

‘Earlier, a lot of crowded clouds covered the earth. But no matter which cloud covers all the continents, A great cloud, a great catastrophe, will laugh at the history of mortals. ’

‘Please.’

Laffith said that his voice changed while he was unconscious. Simply out of respect, with extreme respect. What was in front of her was no longer one client, but a king.

‘How much damage do you think…… will happen to this continent? ’

Dantalian grins.

"You're in a hurry. Did you think I was using metaphors to confuse you? The prophecy is about bringing into the present with the power of the Covenant what should not yet be fulfilled. Over-exactly reproducing the world's destiny can lead to catastrophic disasters by mistaken flow. ’

"The girl was uncircumcised without knowledge. ’

Laffith bows his head immediately.

‘I forgive you. Since the devil who watches over time is gone, does anyone remember the prophecy? Girl, mark my words. If there are three arrows on the continent, the black cloud will break one of them. If there are nine arrows on the continent, three of them will rot away. ’

‘ ……! ’

It means that one-third of the continents are extinct.

Lapis had a chill on his back. Horses are three-quarters of a day long. If they add up to tens of millions of people, or even the Demihumans, they kill hundreds of millions. Even jokingly, the damage level was too great to put in my mouth.

She wondered if Dantalian could really predict the bottleneck. Furthermore, I thought that even if I prophesied, I would stop pointing out small spinning bottles. The epidemic is happening anytime, anywhere. There's still a plague on every corner of the continent.

If such things are prophesied and pinched, the result is that Dantalians do not lie.

What do you mean, "a third of the race is gone"? In two months?

It is too risky to lie.

If nothing happens in the last two months, Dantalian will completely lose her trust. No excuses. Losing the trust of a dedicated secretary will soon lead to losing the trust of the entire Kunkuska Parliament.

Could it be the truth?

‘There's nothing to be afraid of. There are no natural things in the world, and neither are the black clouds. The greater the power, the more often the natural enemy becomes a trivial object. Small weeds that bloom in any valley can defeat the black clouds. I want to collect that weed in advance. ’

She immediately understood the heart of the Demon King. Exclusive. The Demon King hoped that every merchant would dream of it. I want to borrow money for monopoly from the Chamber.

‘In two months' time, the royal statue of the human race will groan for a single weed. At that time, I want to provide herbs to gain enormous profits. Laffith Lazuli, consider my offer. ’

Silence flows through the cave.

‘ ……. ’

Laffith's gut warned him that the Demon King was telling the truth.

A truly unprecedented catastrophe will befall. Crisis can be replaced by opportunity. An unprecedented crisis will create an unprecedented opportunity.

Meanwhile, Lapis' reasoning was violently rejecting.

Intuition, rationality. With two forks in front of him, Lapis stands still for a while.

She barely said.

‘Sorry, no. ’

"Oh-ho."

Surprisingly, the Demon King didn't seem to be offended. No, it was interesting.

‘Tell me why. ’

Lapis seemed to have entered Baloch's jaw. Refusal is acceptable. But if you dare to ignore the Demon King's offer for a trivial reason, pay the price of death.

The Demon King was speaking with his eyes like that.

She calmly recalls her conviction, saying it again and again to avoid being overwhelmed by the Demon King.

"First of all, there is no guarantee that the spinner will actually kick in. Dantalian pointed out that there will be an epidemic. The Bible also says that a third of all nations will be wiped out by the disease that causes it to spread throughout the continent. ’

But, and Lapis said,

‘This is not an argument. There is no basis. The Chamber does not invest money in prophets. ’

Merchants should always be rational. Laffith believed so.

I don't care if Dantalian kills me because of my faith. Death is not a blurry future for Mine, but a threat that follows her around like a shadow all the time. Laffith was ready to die.

But something unexpected happened. Until then, the steam-like pressure that the Demon Lord was emitting disappeared in an instant. Dantalian was once again an ordinary man.

He chuckles.

‘How about this? First, let them know that I applied for a loan. And report to my superiors what kind of business plans I have. I don't care if you don't lend me the money. ’

His subsequent words were unexpected. In the beginning, Dantalian knew she would refuse. I understood the position of the Conference.

He just wanted to provide an opportunity to gain the trust of the Chamber. Lapis seems to have been hit hard with a hammer.

Yes, if the prophecy is true, there's no reason to be obsessed with the epidemic now!

What a terrifying ability.

There was something more frightening than that. The Demon King. He was not swayed by the enormous power of prophecy. Rather, I used the prophecy. Lapis, to instill fear and trust in her.

And as soon as the goal was achieved, he immediately returned to his normal form. No, is it really normal? Could it be that I've been acting for this moment - the way I've been acting?

Laffith blames himself. It was a painful regret.

71st place in the class. You're being careless. The Demon King is the Demon King even if he dies.

Rather, the Demon King was sincere. The Demon King was sharpening his blade to confront him. A blade for a moment.

Laffith is ashamed. Suddenly, I'm afraid the Demon King is overestimating himself. He had only terrible power in Kunkusa. I wasn't sure if I could meet the Demon King's expectations. She looks away from the Demon King's gaze without my knowledge.

‘…… there is one thing I haven't told Dantalian. ’

Laffith explained how humble he was.

The Demon King would despise himself, but he had no choice. The fact that you'll find out one day. If the Demon King had false expectations of himself, it would be better to blow it up now. It was better to endure now that there was no fate... than to go later and get scolded by contempt.

However.

So what? ’

― ― Dantalian was different.

‘What's wrong with being half-bred. ’

Despite being the fiercest Demon King who hates hybrids more than anyone.

‘Never mind that. ’

He insisted that it was a very trivial matter.

Laffith stares blankly at the Demon King.

Who said this to themselves? It was the first time in my life.

Those who approached with affection for themselves frowned and left. No exceptions, not once in a hundred years. It was a life that I had to think about saying goodbye before I even met her.

I always wanted to hear it, but now I gave up and left it in a twisted or unconscious form.

I heard it from the most rare creature on the market.

Ah-ah.

Laffith was shaken without ever before. I didn't want the other person to know about my condition. Merchants end when weaknesses are caught. So I got out of the dungeon. I don't even remember what he said he excused.

She comes back to the office and stares at the ceiling. I could hardly help myself.

It's a good thing that the Demon King of Dantalian was originally such a great man, he would have increased his chances of becoming a better man, and he would have to treat the Demon King with all his heart and soul in the future, but... nothing has overwhelmed his current emotions.

In the end, Laffith muttered, impatiently.

“The Odd Demon King. ”

However, my emotions did not subside.

Laffith tilts his head with a blank expression, saying that today is a strange day. Then began to fill out paperwork to report to the superiors. The document began with a statement that the Demon King Dantalian might have the power of prophecy.

"An iron ore (2) has been collected.

“Oh, there's two more! ”

Meanwhile, the Demon King swings his pickaxe hard. You have no idea what's going on.

* * *

It's been two months since I put the manure on Lapis.

In the dungeon, an adventure troop approaches about once a week.

Maybe it's still early in the game. The adventure team consists of 15 people. Rank is Class F. If this were the right dungeon, Class F adventurers would have been wiped out by the moment they crossed the entrance.

Of course, my dungeon of shame and shame was not the right place to claim to be my castle of horrors. Every Class F Adventure Party approaches the danger of life.

So I'm lying on the floor at the moment.

“Huh? Hey, there's a man down here. ”

“You're right. Look. Wake up!”

An adventurer approached and patted my cheek.

I groaned.

“Ugh, so glum… water…. ”

“Tsk! You're dehydrated. ”

Water poured down on my face. I felt like someone poured a bag of water on me. Water flows through the cracks in the cheap helmet. I held out my tongue like a dog in the middle of summer and licked the water.

“Ugh, ugh. Go. Thank you. ”

“We should all help each other in difficult situations. Hey, how did you get here? ”

“That.”

I chanted my skill in my heart.

"Smoke skill is triggered.

Lucky dice slip from your hands! Reduces the chance of the opponent being 'slightly’ suspicious of your claim.

“I came into the dungeon maybe three days ago. ”

Since then, my grubby situation has continued.

I'm Hansen from Sassen Village. I walked into a dungeon with a villager, but when the monster attacked me, my colleague scattered his horns. My guide died in the dungeon and Mia collapsed. I wandered around the cave for three days and nights and I couldn't stand it...... Even if I came in, I could still use the smoke.

But the people here were naive, but too naive.

“Ugh, what a sad story! ”

“This is the most devastating story I've ever heard. ”

“Huff, huff. Young man, please, don't be discouraged. No matter how shitty the world gets, it's gonna be sunny. We believe in our future! You have to believe me. ”

Inside the cave is a teary crucible.

Adventurers spend their entire lives in the sun, their faces grim. Tears and nostrils flowed like streams on such a brown face. The adventurers swung their noses and patted my shoulder with their nosebleeds. Ugh.

‘You're really weak in smoke. ’

The town adventure squad isn't weak enough.

Well, I'm wearing a helmet now. They cannot see the Demon King's horn. The difference between the opponent is the Demon King and the human. I convinced myself that the adventurers' appeal had risen in a row.

“Youth. No, a young friend. Let me ask you a few questions about the dungeon here. ”

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Why the sudden absence of pressure.

After Laffith clearly said no, the skill effect disappeared when the skill was' judged to fail '... Haha. Our Miss Lapis can't possibly know that. The illusion is freedom.

Thank you for blowing it up. Thank you to those who gave the coupon. Have a great weekend!
