170 – This Week – Dreamland
We head to Rehui, the capital of the Nation of Darkness where Torare is located.
There was some distance, but as it was certain that the coming of the god Amun would happen immediately, my colleagues and I were running to it as best we could.
“Let’s hurry. When the god Amun descends, there will be a commotion like the previous one in the ecliptic. In that gap, we must definitely end the ceremony.”
“I know.”
Of course, the justification given in this situation was not torare, which is a personal reason, but to definitely stop the ceremony.
In fact, since the Nation of Darkness, which is said to be a daily affair, is the opponent, the god Amun will do a good job of organizing it. Still, in order to organize the work for sure, it was necessary to personally check it out and finish it.
The figure of Rehee Castle and Amun floating behind it has already begun to be seen.
As everyone in this place had already transcended the ordinary level, the speed was faster than words.
‘At this rate, we should be able to arrive within 30 minutes. ruler… Wash your throat well and wait, Torare! This time, I will definitely finish you off!”
Consciousness is also a ritual, but more than that, while embracing the joy of revenge, I hurried my steps toward Rehui.
at that time..
“uh?”
“What… what?”
The next moment, a strange sensation that suddenly began to be felt.
At the same time, my colleagues and I gazed straight at the huge sphere falling from the sky.
It had a dark red light and was clearly visible even from this distance, and it fell somewhere in the center of Rehui.
and…
– Phat!
A creepy silence felt for a moment.
In the sensation of the hairs on my body standing up,
We instinctively covered the terrifyingly dazzling light flying towards us with our hands.
‘What… what? What’s happening all of a sudden?’
It was thought that the situation had virtually ended with the advent of Amunshin.
However, at this moment, this light that began to entwine in all directions was instinctively warning me.
The fact that something dangerous beyond my expectations had happened.
Waves of unbearably intense light that lasted for a while.
As it finally started to disappear, I felt my sight recovering again.
“What was that… ”
In deep doubt, I began to carefully examine my surroundings.
The appearance of the surroundings and my physical condition, which do not look much different from just before.
But…
“What… what?”
In the next moment, I was seized with a deep sense of bewilderment at one fact that I came to realize a step too late.
“this… Hey! How did everyone… Will?”
What I see is the figures of my comrades who are standing still like stone statues.
With eyes open and teeth unblinking,
Looking at them who do not move at all like stones that will harden,
I automatically recognized that something was terribly wrong.
“west… no way… Has it already been activated? Dreamland?”
In the current situation, I couldn’t think of anything else.
Forbidden magic that claims to bend the laws of the world at will.
There was no other way to interpret the inexplicable ‘stasis’ in front of me.
And one question arises here.
that… For some reason, I was able to move within it without being affected.
‘no way… Is this because I’m not originally from this world?’
I’m not sure, but at this point, I couldn’t think of any other possibility other than that.
‘anyway… At this point, there is only one option left. All I have to do is run to the place where the King of Darkness is and deal with him.’
Given the scope of the magic circle, there was a high possibility that the Demon Kingdom would not have any problems at this moment.
But even so, it would take a long time to go there and get more reinforcements, and even if they came within the range of this magic, there was a possibility that they would harden like the others.
In the end, all that’s left is to fix everything by myself.
As even Amun, who could be seen far away, stopped moving, I had no choice but to handle the work alone, not relying on anyone else.
‘… I really… I wanted to live a quiet life without getting caught up in this kind of thing. In the end, will things go like this… It seems that being a hero is something that can’t be helped.’
As an ordinary person in the other world, I didn’t really want to become a hero who would save the world.
His own comfort was more important than that, and at most he was someone who could wield a sword for the safety of his loved ones.
The reason why he knelt down to the demon king and swung his sword at their side was all because of that.
However, somehow, the current me has come to roll into the position of a hero who truly has the duty to save the world.
no one else can do it
As I was driven to the extreme situation that only I could do.
You can’t miss it If one of me fails here, the world will perish… is it?’
Thinking like that made me feel a heavy burden that I had never felt before.
However, even in these feelings.
Surprisingly, my steps weren’t as heavy as I thought.
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
More than a heavy burden, it was because I had a strong sense of duty to do this job.
It’s not a grandiose thing to save the world as a hero,
It was a very simple sense of duty as a head of household.
As a woman’s wife and a child’s father.
A sense of duty that anyone can have, to want to protect the family they love, but because of that, it is inevitably stronger than anything else.
With that in mind, I started moving my stopped steps quickly again.

“after… .”
“Are you okay, Your Majesty?”
The demon lord gets up from his seat with a bit of difficulty.
Looking at her, Beelzebeauty asked in a cautious voice, and the demon king answered with a smile on his lips.
“Jim is fine. But to be honest, it’s the first time my body has been this heavy, so it’s a little awkward.”
The demon king stretches his back while slowly caressing his now distracted stomach.
Seeing her like this, Beelzebeauty somehow started to feel as if her heart was being crushed.
“I’ll see you in a little while. The children of His Majesty the Demon King. You must be a great person.”
“I guess so. certainly… It will.”
The Demon King smiles proudly at Beelzebeauty’s words.
Not the cold monarch she showed during the tribal war in the past, she literally shows the soft side of a woman preparing to become a mother.
Looking at that scene, Beelzebeauty began to feel a warm feeling in a corner of her heart, feeling the fact that love can change a lot of people.
“Come to think of it, have you decided on the name of the person to be born?”
“Of course. To be precise, the child’s father decided before he left and left.”
“What is?”
Beelzebeauty asks with deep curiosity.
Concerning this, the demon lord saw the face of that person who was not here.
He answered with a smile on his lips as he recalled the face of the man who taught her about love and who gave her happiness she had never experienced before.
“Kris… Chris Savior.”

Rehee, the capital of the Nation of Darkness, has finally arrived.
As I cautiously approached the place where there was only heavy silence, I began to sharpen my tension.
‘If I get caught here by mistake, there will literally be an uproar like a beehive, right?’
Since it was magic conducted by the Nation of Darkness, there was a high possibility that the witches were not affected by it.
It could be said that the success or failure of this task depended on avoiding their gaze and approaching the place where the King of Darkness was without consuming power.
‘According to the Shudnyeon, the King of Darkness’ power is on a level similar to mine, but his magic isn’t as good as he did before, so if that’s the case… ‘
I jumped over the castle wall with my robe on, with the thought that if I looked for the opportunity well enough, it would be worth it.
Fortunately, thanks to the aftermath of Dreamland’s activation, the previously mentioned barrier no longer exists.
However, the scene shown right after that automatically started to raise questions for me.
‘… what? Why are they all suspended?’
A scene coming into my eyes hiding in a blind spot.
It was a very bizarre sight, with the soldiers guarding the walls and the people in the city at a glance standing still.
From those who went about their daily lives without knowing anything.
While fleeing from the beasts that seem to have been released by the god Amun, even those who hardened together with the beasts
Literally, like a city-scale sculpture park. Watching a scene that feels even creepy,
I automatically felt that something was terribly wrong with more than just Dreamland being triggered.
‘Details… You can go to the altar where the ceremony took place.’
It’s embarrassing in many ways, but in a way, it’s a situation that can be said to have relieved me of the burden of having to infiltrate.
Recognizing that there was no need to notice anymore, I pulled out the greatsword I had hidden under my robe and started moving forward.
