As a villain, I raised a defeated dog to become a black boss

"call……"

Will opened the door.

There is still a dark world behind the door.

"Huh? The challenge is..."

Halfway through Will's words, he realized what the deepest level was like. He was startled, and then slowly raised his head.

He saw, above his head, an ordinary...

slime.

Chapter 228 Heart

"..."

Will looked up at the slime.

He was really scared.

Just seeing its eyes looking up, Will's heart trembled, and he felt like he didn't dare to breathe out.

"Well……?"

Of course, such fear.

Maybe it's a conditioned reflex.

He often dreamed of a scene like this in his sleep. He walked into the first floor of a dungeon, then raised his head, and was smashed to death by a slime.

A very simple, very crisp, very funny way to die.

"Ah?! How could it be this kind of thing?! You, you, you... what are you afraid of?!"

It seemed that even Lucifer, who was watching the show outside, couldn't bear it any longer. Her roar resounded through the reverberated radio.

However, Will understood that the slime that appeared in front of him now was not his real "fear".

Fear in Lucifer's hands is always a "story" full of hints and concreteness. What really scares Will is often hidden deep behind this story.

For example...

The slime hanging above Will's head is like the "Sword of Damocles" tailor-made for him, except that this thing is timed.

One day, it will fall, pronouncing its sentence with "fate", symbolizing his death.

Therefore, deep down in his heart, he is actually afraid of his own death.

He originally thought that he would be used to this matter long ago, but as expected...

Since you can see such a scene here, it proves...

He is still like an "ordinary person" living in this world, fearing his own death and wanting to continue living——

"Uh……"

Will looked at the crumbling slime and didn't know what to say for a moment, so he was speechless.

"...I'm just afraid of this thing. Just like some people are afraid of mice, some people are afraid of cockroaches, and some people are afraid of spiders. Isn't it normal?"

"It's not normal at all!" Lucifer pouted, "Besides, this memory is so difficult to read. Why is it as if you haven't experienced it? Otherwise, I will definitely call it out and check it."

"So, if you want to overcome this fear..."

Will raised his staff and pointed it at the "powerful" slime.

With a simple fireball spell without even chanting, it was wiped out from the sky.

——It was such a simple thing.

——Because it is so simple, it is so funny that the original young master will be smashed to death!

The moment Will did this, the black dome seemed to be broken open, and light lit up from the sky.

Will returns to "reality".

Returned to the location of the final BOSS level of the Tenth Castlevania.

He looked back and saw Shona still standing at the end with her arms folded against the wall. She didn't move or say anything.

It seems that he has not been "displaced" on this level. Lucifer's mental ability not only hypnotized him, but also pulled him into another space.

"You cheated. What anyone fears most is a slime that can be easily dealt with!"

Lucifer had taken off her strange armor and placed it on the ground. She was sitting on a chair holding her hands, seeming a little angry.

In addition to being angry, she looked a little weak, and her usually red face looked a little pale under the light.

"I have been researching this for several months and spent more than half of my energy to create the 'most terrifying space' for you, but you just...you defeated it casually like you are now!"

Will understood.

This guy has the temperament of a child, as if a three-digit addition and subtraction math problem that he had finally designed was suddenly solved by a college student using a calculator, which is why he is so angry.

"Woo, I'm so scared. After all, this thing has left a deep shadow on my childhood..."

Will tilted his head and put on a "poor" expression to show weakness to Lucifer——

"Lady Empress, didn't you feel that my heart almost jumped out of my throat when I saw it?"

"..."

Lucifer was a little "disgusted" by Will's tone and shrank back in the chair.

"Okay. Now that we're here..."

Lucifer clicked the button on the chair, and then a white flag popped out from the back of the chair very...handsomely?

It's as white as if it's just been made, as if it hasn't been used yet.

"……I surrender."

Sitting under the white flag, Lucifer's back was straight.

No, what kind of dungeon queen is she? !Clearing each level is like an amusement park pass, but now even the white flags are taken out.

Is this a natural comedian?

"You don't look injured at all? Why don't you continue to beat me?"

"I told you. As my 'third stage', I have used up all my power. I just didn't expect that even the 'most feared thing' could not defeat you."

Lucifer's tone was a little unconvinced, but her expression and movements were quite helpless.

"Anyway, you'll die if you fight, so it's better to look decent."

"You can survive until now, thanks to the lack of people here."

Will sighed, what kind of show-off queen is she?

"As for whether you want to destroy this place and whether you want to kill me, it's up to you. And... I promised."

Lucifer said, throwing a small wooden box into Will's hand. From the outside, it looked like a coffin.

"This is……"

Will started to open the box, and inside the box was...

a heart.

Even the beating heart, which was a little smaller than Will's fist, was moving quite powerfully, but was not pumping blood outward.It's like it's been washed clean.

"My heart, isn't this what you want?"

Lucifer spoke calmly.

Will looked up and saw traces of bandages on Lucifer's shoulders when she was wearing a shirt.

Did she take out her heart? !Should I say that this is really a very "evil" behavior?

It is for this reason that she has been refusing to use spiritual skills to fight with her fancy methods, and...

Feeling a little weak now?

"Oh, be careful. It's very close to me, so it's still jumping. It doesn't matter. After you take it away, it should stop moving."

"..."

"Why, why don't you say anything? Because...because I actually can't control what trophies will be left behind after I die, so I might as well prepare it for you in advance."

Lucifer seemed a little nervous, and her tongue curled up as she spoke.

"What if after I die, I am left with some kind of devil's tail, or even worse, wings, and my heart is not well preserved, you will... be unable to save your beloved little princess, right? Bar?"

Lucifer's tone was not happy, and she said it as sadly as her last words.

"The creatures in the dungeon don't seem to survive on surface organs, so taking out the heart is just a slightly bloody process, and by doing this, you don't have to take out the heart with your own hands!"

Lucifer turned away and looked elsewhere.

"Okay, you...you have to leave this dungeon. As...as the empress here, I...I have been able to...meet the challenger in three months, and I have...been very happy... ...You...you go quickly...don't...don't cry."

Lucifer began to sob as she spoke, then wiped her tears with her hands.

She clearly convinced herself that she couldn't shed tears even if she was about to be captured.

She clearly reminded herself that as an empress, she should face the adventurers with her strongest side.

She clearly told herself that there were many dungeon emperors who could not reach the end, and she was not a special case.

However, it was obviously the first time to meet such a powerful and enthusiastic adventurer, and it was obviously the first time to play a whole BOSS battle. Why should such a happy thing be associated with the dissolution of the dungeon?

"...Well...isn't it? Are you really crying?"

She opened her eyes and saw Will in her blurry vision, holding a small box with a heart, bending down and looking at her with concern.

Chapter 229 Blindfold

"Look...look at what I'm doing. Have you never seen the empress of the dungeon cry?"

Lucifer wiped her tears.

"Indeed...I have never seen it..."

With red eyes, Lucifer pretended to be calm before she died heroically and said:

"What's the point of crying before you die...?"

"No, the main reason is that we..."

Will was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Shona behind him:

"We won't kill you - isn't this what we promised before?"

"Eh? I... I thought you were... harsh words to me before the war?"

"Where did you learn this from? Hey!?"

"Everyone says that adventurers will use harsh words to motivate themselves before challenging a super boss!"

"Sometimes... the inexperienced empress is really difficult to deal with..." Shona sighed, "Also, Will... Counting it all, since I entered Qiming Star, we have actually never killed anyone at all. The emperor who has the clue?"

She looked a little more tired than before, as if she had just woken up from a long dream.

"Let me think about it, for example, the old man who joked about the rock fire and iron wall was not ours. Hmm... Keluodai at the Moon and Ice Pole was only conquered two weeks after we entered."

"Yes, they use various painful punishments to make them vomit out everything they know."

Lucifer no longer cried because of sadness. She took two steps back. In her eyes, the two of them seemed to be evil people looking at her fiercely.

"The heart, heart, heart and heart are given you, oh ... what do you want to do? Don't manipulate your feet with an unpolished female emperor!"

However, the next second she realized that these two "friends" she had just met were teasing her.

otherwise……

I really wanted to kill her and conquer this dungeon, but I had done so a few minutes ago.

"Of course I have to keep such an interesting dungeon and come here for vacation from time to time, right? Shona."

Will smiled as he closed the heart box and handed it to her.

"I always feel... this... this is some kind of relic, and... it's a bit of a joke to give a gift to your fiancée with the sincere heart of a friend."

Lucifer carefully took the box holding her heart, with a look of surprise on her face.

"How about you press the heart back? As for what the sword is made of, give me something else from here?"
