Tribute to the Demon King

The feeling of stepping on the flowers again made him feel slightly strange.After standing still for a long time, he stepped towards the stone statue, then stretched out his right hand and leaned against the stone statue.

As the silver-gray lines gradually left his body and dipped into the stone statue, he was in a trance for a long time, and it took a long time before he finally woke up.

After getting all of Bedivere's experiences, he couldn't help but not allow his silent and dry soul to bear more... On the contrary, the experiences from Merlin and Bedivere restricted each other.On the contrary, Darius felt much more relaxed.

Because he didn't plunder Bedivere's memory, but shared all his memories so far with the other party.In other words, each of Darius, Merlin, and Bedivere now has three identical experiences.

and……

"Nice to meet you, Bedivere."

He turned his head and greeted the human knight who appeared behind him and was stunned in place: "Welcome to Avalon, my friend."

"...Nice meeting, Darius."

Bedivere, who reappeared in the form of a phantom, smiled wryly with a strange yet familiar emotion.

After getting the memories of Darius and Merlin, he naturally understood what he had done and where King Arthur was now.However, his body has completely collapsed, and he can no longer move...

"It seems that I can only live here."

With a bitter smile, Bedivere sincerely thanked Darius: "Thank you for resurrecting me...although it is in this form. The holy sword will be passed from those who are full of kindness to those who will surely deliver it , and I have no such opportunity."

"Don't be silly...at least there is another way."

Darius turned around with a blank expression and looked at Bedivere: "I will bring Arthur here. If she also has someone she is reluctant to part with, someone she wants to see, I will bring him Bring me here too. Your life is something I have seen and will experience with my own eyes... You are my closest brothers."

Although it's just an illusion.

Although it's just an illusion.

But only here, there will be no misunderstanding, no hatred, and no new conflicts among human beings.All in one, moods connected by the same dream...everyone is the brother and sister of the others.

There is nothing better than this.

Darius thought so.

He watched it for a whole thousand and five hundred years, but he didn't know what the psychology of the person involved was.How much pain did they have in their hearts, and what kind of will did they have... Darius, whose feelings had already begun to decline, had a new motivation in his heart.

I don't know how many years later, he once again had such a strong desire to "want to achieve something".

"……is that so."

Bedivere stared blankly at Darius.Then the two of them looked at each other and smiled, showing a gentle smile that was [-]% similar.

"I want to go back, Merlin. Besides Arthur, is there anyone else you want to see?"

"If you want to talk about it, it's a human girl. I have a lot of tastes, so please feel free."

Merlin looked at Darius with a smile and showed a happy smile.

He looked at Darius's expression, reminding Darius of his expression when he watched Artoria who pulled out the king's sword.

"...Does your expression mean that I will become king?"

"Yes. Originally, you would become a monster, the kind that would be hunted down by heroes all over the world... Unfortunately, the history of mankind is coming to an end. I mean, the world is going to be destroyed. To be precise, from now on From the beginning, to the next hundred years."

Following Merlin's prophecy, Darius' pupils shrank slightly.

For what the magician speaks is not advice, but prophecy.

In the form of a reflection, he projects in his consciousness the actual "becoming that" scenario in the future.

The seven singularities, the burned humanity, the world that is about to be destroyed...

"...If I become king, can I save the world?"

"Of course. By the way, the time you are regarded as the savior is only before the future is saved."

Merlin spoke the prophecy frankly: "The power required to achieve that goal is too terrifying... You will become a new natural disaster, and maybe you will have the same ending. Even so, is it okay?"

"I've never been afraid."

Facing Merlin, Darius finally showed a hearty smile.Merlin looked at him and suddenly laughed too.

Amidst his laughter, towering giant trees suddenly grew out of Avalon full of flowers, deserted towns, small rivers, windmills and livestock...that was the world in Bedivere's memory.

"Because I will be with you. I was, I am, and I will always be."

The three of them spoke in unison with the same smile.

Author's message:

I'm so exhausted, I'm going to bed... Tomorrow is a new January...

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

When Zhou Yi woke up from the illusion of the past, his office had become a mess.

The decorations on the table were scattered all over the floor, dense cracks appeared on the wooden floor and the table, and huge flowers that were as high as an adult's knee grew out of them.On the wall, there are a number of swords and the remains of buildings of various styles piercing from the outside to the inside.

...No, rather than piercing, it is more like growing out.

This small ten-square-meter office now looks like a cavity formed by soil and steel.The living and the inanimate, the soft and the hard, grow simultaneously.

If you look closely, those crack marks are the same as the spider web cracks that leached from Zhou Yi's body when he engraved other things.Obviously the whole room was cracked, but the teacher's office next door and the scene in the corridor could not be seen between the gaps in the wooden boards.
