The World of Masks

An ugly staff with human bones taps the ground a few times. In front of a large, murky crystal, the Dark Wizard strokes the crystal as if he were watching an art piece.

"Only 100,000 people left."

I can feel the tremor of that life force just by touching my hand. Obviously, it was a very large quantity, but the Dark Wizard was not satisfied.

Not enough. Not enough. To wake up this altar and change the 'flow' of this area, you need a lot more health.

'But we can't increase the speed at which we gather life.'

I always think of a chatty girl instead of being petty in front of her face. His eyes narrow as if frowning. I started kicking my tongue as if it was pathetic.

'There's no such thing as an ignorant girl.'

But maybe that's a good thing. The ignorant and simple are easy to deal with. They don't know the depths of their own existence anyway.

I couldn't help but feel bad.

If you move around with the Demon Lord's banner now, it might be a good moment. However, it is almost obvious that the enemy's boundaries will rise tremendously. If the realization of the Demon Prince's reappearance reappears on the continent, the nations will try to unite immediately. If the fact that they were not as complete as they are now spread, they would almost run into bubbles from a nearby country. Moreover, this northern environment, which has been devastated by the Demon King, has made the people of the region stronger. Perhaps the first to encounter them will be a few strong warriors.

'Of course, it won't be easy to earthquake.'

Eventually, they will fall. Their forces are too small to deal with the Allied forces. Therefore, vigilance is forbidden. Even the Demon Lord, who thought he had God-like power, ran off in a hurry because of his restlessness, impatience, and carelessness. I couldn't deal with it as quickly as I saw it all before and after.

'Once we get the altar up and running, we'll be done.'

Then the Demon King's powerful power returns to him. If I am as hasty and careless as the Demon King, I will be able to rule as the true king of this world.

'Time is of the essence.'

He is already more than 80 years old and approaching 90. He has been as old as he was 50 years ago when he stood by the Demon King's side and destroyed the world. I don't know when this fragile body will collapse. I wanted to take away someone else's body, but moving the soul itself should not be without immense life force. You have no chin for the rest of your life. The life force of the Superior Bead tucked into the staff was insufficient.

'If it's dangerous, I'll take away the life force of this crystal.'

If we change our bodies and collect our lives again, that is enough. Maybe that's better, maybe that's right. But there was one fact that caught my ankle.

'The Demon King is in a hurry.'

At that time, the Demon King was afraid of something. To be honest, that was the cause of the Demon Lord's decisive hand. They were driven into Allied forces' enticement and deception operations and exterminated because of their rash actions to achieve their goals quickly. The Demon King stabbed the sky with confidence, saying that he was confident enough to destroy even if he took on a coalition operation, and in return, he put his body on cold ground.

Of course, even the Dark Knights don't know what the Demon King was afraid of. No, I didn't even know the Demon King's exact plan. I was chosen by the Demon King and followed behind him.

When you gain the Demon King's power, you may be able to clearly understand what the Demon King fears. Even if I wanted to know about its existence, I wanted to fill this crystal quickly. The Demon King's power cannot be given up. That's his criticism. Then the Demon King had to be ready as soon as he knew what he was afraid of. To do that, we need to speed up the accumulation of life force, but · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·.

'But the risk of being caught by other countries is greater.'

There was no answer. I wanted to rush things for a lot of reasons, but I knew I'd be trampled by the Allied forces before I could even get my hands on the power. However, it was also true that every moment I looked at the girl's pathetic gaze was enraged.

'Hmph, she will obey me if I get strength in my hands anyway.'

In some ways, the most dangerous factor right now may be her. He is the only one of his subordinates who judges, moves and complains about himself. If he didn't intend to move on this altar just to be safe, he would have executed him immediately. But it was as sure as it could be. So far, she has done well to carry out her orders. I just have a lot of complaints.

"The Dark Knight and the Dark Wizard must obey the Demon King. '

As soon as I have the Demon King's power, I will give her the power of the Dark Knight. Then she must follow her own lead. The Crown of the Demon King's Officers is not punishable by disobeying orders. Once a Dark Knight or Wizard has been chosen and accepted, no loyalty will be tolerated to the Demon King. I don't even like it.

'Cause I did, too.'

Of course, the impact was still emerging. Without the Demon King, he moves to gain the Demon King's power of his own accord. If the Demon King had the slightest chance of resurrection, the Dark Wizard would have moved for the Demon King's resurrection immediately. Even if it is the worst form of sacrificing his soul and transferring his body to the Demon King.

'I don't like that means the Demon King is dead and unlikely to be resurrected.'

Instinctively, it was as wrong as it felt like the Dark Wizard was feeling the Demon King. The Demon King disappeared completely from this world. All that remains is to inherit the Demon King's throne.

The Dark Wizard has moved the heavy labor with a large staff as a support. You walk to the wall on one side of the altar. There was a map on it. The light seemed like old times, but I couldn't help but look inside. He carefully examines the other altars marked on the map.

'But where is the Dark Knight's sword and armor?'

I was scouting Chloe as the next dark knight, and soon to be able to do so, but I felt sorry for the sword and armor that had disappeared with the dark knights of the past. A symbol of a dark knight, like his symbol, Rob, or a staff. It was as bad as the armor the Demon King himself had handed down.

'If we can't find it, we'll have to create a new one.'

But given the time spent with those ingredients, it would be better to find what the old Dark Knight used, if possible. The last dark knight the Dark Wizard saw was fleeing under attack by the Allied forces.

'If he had escaped alive, he would have hid somewhere on the altar.'

The Dark Wizard's eyes narrow, looking at the map.

'If he were alive, he would have come here by now. It makes sense to think he's dead.'

I pulled my tongue out. Although they were not particularly friendly, they looked like cows to each other, I decided to show them a little compassion, considering they were once colleagues.

'Once I have the Demon King's power, I'll have to look from the other end.'

I was hoping to find some Dark Knight swords and armor there. I've looked around a few nearby dungeons once, but it's only a matter of time before I try all the dungeons he stops by. As I pondered the plan ahead, the Dark Wizard looked at the map in front of his eyes and thought:

* * *

It was a dark night. As the world had no electricity, a large city was almost completely silent. With a torch and a trillion people, all the guards patrolling the area were moving. Not only did it patrol important areas such as the city centre, but it was not the area where ordinary people and poor people on the outskirts lived who were being patrolled. It was all small animals that were parasitic to people's lives in the city that showed movement except for them.

Phew!

A terrifying upbringing sounded in a house in a slum where people would have to be in a gathering area, anywhere in the city.

"· · · · · · · · · · · ·!"

My body leaps up and clicks. I struggled with my neck in pain. You scream, but all you hear is the wind.

"Oh, I cut off my vocal cords, so no matter how much I try to shout, it doesn't matter."

Instead of screaming, it will be overwhelming just by vomiting the backflow of blood. A meaningless wind bends. It was funny to try to stop the bleeding and inflict neck injury to survive somehow. A fatal injury.It's not something that can be stopped with such a cute struggle. But he kept on doing useless things that he didn't know.

I need you to comfort me, okay? '

Specifically, one that completely eliminates useless hope. Jack drops down and slightly pushes the person who's holding the neck wound. Crash into the wall by rolling a gravel. A small drop of blood formed along the line. Jack follows him with a small nostril, raising his big sword and tearing his abdomen apart.

"!!!!!!!!!"

Screaming whales in pain. No, I tried to scream. But all I could find was the sound of the wind and the blood rushing from place to place.

Hoodluck!

While struggling with pain, the dissected abdomen dropped excellently. The surprised young man tries to shove it back into his stomach like crazy. But it didn't work out. The slippery organs crushed the master's wind, then fell down again, loving the ground eagerly. In-young's eyes were filled with despair. Tears poured out of my eyes without rest. Jack, who sits by his side watching, giggles and laughs. The man who was stabbed indiscriminately, using Jack's laughter as a background sound, slowly stops moving.

"Good night."

In a soft voice, Jack is killed by the dead.
