Episode 185
51. Queen Amodea (1)
dump. passus.
The purple spirit body disappears. Selahha did not know what had happened to her until the very end.
Just wide-open your eyes.
It just crumbled and disappeared.
‘What did I see?’
The 21st incubus, Morak, was not sure if this situation was real or a fantasy.
Incubus Road.
Was that Selahah slain at the hands of men?
no-
To be precise, he was killed by that boy.
‘I didn’t even see a slash.’

Morak recalled a scene from a while ago. The blow that finished Selaha was neither fast nor overwhelmingly strong firepower.
The concept of invisibility he was talking about didn’t mean he couldn’t catch up.
Because it was a very natural and quiet blow.
It was passed on unconsciously.
It was light. It was quiet at the same time.
And above all, it was sharp.

Morak’s consciousness was now terrified.
The moment I saw the yam trees still fluttering with blue flames, I felt as if I had stopped breathing.
It’s pretty much the 21st.
It can never be said that it is high, but it is 3 places higher than Nabe, who is 24th.
In a dreamy society where the hierarchical order was strict, an Incubus in the 24th place could never stand up to itself.
One, how about now?
The human, whom the weakest Incubus had as its ‘master’, captured Selaha, who was ranked 8th.
An unusual thing happened right in front of my eyes.
An unacceptable feeling of disparity.
At the same time, the consciousness of being aware of reality was mixed up in a confusing way, creating new emotions for the dreamers.
Awe.
The hierarchical order of dreams is not something that can be easily broken.
Because the difference in grade was overwhelming.
However, for some reason, the moment to close the gap.
It is possible to rise in status by defeating or subjugating the higher rank.
In other words, Nabe had become an Incubus of the 8th rank from this moment on.
‘Obviously, I said that person was the Incubus King. then… … Maybe even the queen?’

Morak’s mind began to spin quickly.
He was a dreamer with a desire to rise in status. A young and ambitious incubus full of energy, not yet born.
The reason why I left my hometown and settled here on my own feet in the Garden of Dreams.
It was because he thought that Selah and Amodea would lead him to a higher hierarchy.
Now that the plan was shattered, Morak decided to make a new plan.
‘It doesn’t matter who the queen is or who the king is.’
I never covet a place where I can’t anyway.
If you covet it for nothing, you will be purged without even trying to implement the plan.
He slowly got up from his seat.
‘I’ve always regretted not getting to the Dream Garden early. If I had come earlier, the hierarchy would have been stronger.’
Selaha was ranked 8th, but in the Incubus, he was actually one of the strongest in the top 5.
He simply hid his claws, believing that he did not need to touch the monsters higher than him.
However, now the revolutionaries who will overthrow the throne have arrived.
A bizarre boy with a human body who wields a nightmare under his control.
Besides, as Nabe said.
He was the same as the human being watched by Corinth, the king of dreams.
I don’t know what the king’s will is.
This one thing was certain.
That these are golden geese. The fact is that if you use the rope well, you can give yourself the status and power you so desperately wanted.
“Do not move.”
The boy aimed at the yam with cold eyes.
rushing fear.
Every time the energy of the sword touches the skin, it tingles. Did I say hell yam?
But Morak showed no such sign.
Rather, she smiled broadly and knelt down in front of Nabe.
“My name is Morak, Incubus at number 21. Meet the new lord of the throne.”
If you can’t have it, it’s better to make a new board.

Morak added politely, kneeling.
“I will guide Nabe-sama and his companions safely to the place where Amodea is.”
* * *
“… … ???”
I was frankly perplexed.
It was good to capture Selah, but now the question was how to cut the rest of the troops.
In the original war, ‘moral bread (losing the will to run away)’ does not happen often.
Whether it’s a succubus or an incubus, since Selaha is dead, the dreamer who occupies the next hierarchy will take over the podium.
Then again, a fierce blood battle had to be waged.
It was for this time that I was told to stockpile the power of Jorgan and Lioner as much as possible.
In a situation where his physical strength is very low, and his skills are also poor.
In order to close the gap, the power of the two great spirits was indispensable.
By the way.
Why didn’t an incubus suddenly kneel down to me and Nabe?
“Uh, um.”
“to… … ?”
It wasn’t just me who was confused. Nabe, who is also a party to respect, was not able to fully accept the current situation.
“there… … I beg your pardon?”
“Aren’t you going to put Amodea down and take the throne?”
Aha.
this shit this.
Among the Incubus, he seemed to have a good head.
Why is there such a thing?
A servant who opens the gates to revolutionaries and traitors who have come to usurp the throne.
I smiled and walked over to the Incubus.
“What do you want?”
When I asked the question in a tone that seemed to be slightly skeptical, the Incubus bowed its head and answered.
“I want a position. And I want the strength to match that!”
The ambition in his voice was real.
It’s a style I’ll never betray, at least for now, even if I’ll hit the back of my head later.
And that fact was testified by the reactions of the surrounding ghosts.
“Morak!!! I knew it!”
“what are you doing!!”
“Shut up, you ungodly ones. You are the one who destroyed Selah, aren’t you rude?”
Thanks to his support fire, I stood proudly holding a yam.
The blue flames that rose, still did not know how to cool down.
As I took the lead, Byron and other expedition members gathered around.
Jorgan and Lioner, who had not shown their original appearance, also revealed themselves.
A gigantic grizzly bear and python appear to overwhelm the entire space.
Some of the dreamers make expressions as if they are out of breath.
Neu-woong (雷熊) Lioner.
Amsa Jordan.
In terms of rank alone, there seemed to be no monstrosities who would attack hastily at the appearance of a great spirit that was treated as equivalent to Selaha.
[Obey me, filthy demons.]
【Or will you make it into a delicious meal?】
Judging by their sheer power, they were at a level enough to compete with us now.
We were wounded, and we were quite exhausted from the battle that continued up to the 3rd floor.
Elixir’s doping time is also gradually decreasing, so in the future, the remaining monsters and knights will be enough to subdue it.
However, once the atmosphere was turned upside down, the dreamers were losing their will one by one.
The reason was simple.
Because the center point is gone.
They gathered under Amodea and Incubus Lord Selaha, called the Succubus Queen.
Among them, Selah, who was in charge of practical work, was annihilated.
It would be quite confusing.
You can’t really run away
These were high-level demons, mongma, but at the same time they were also ‘wanderers’.
Those who left the demon realm where they were born and settled in the human world.
Rather than joining the Demon tribe, it was a tribe that chose to live far away and not take sides with anyone.
If the dream garden collapses.
They lost even the only remaining nest.
Perhaps, this incubus called Morak quickly accepted that fact as well.

Maybe he chose to stick with me as a way to find a way to live.
‘Then it would be better to make sure.’
I shouted clearly at the ghosts standing in front of me.
“I promise. The garden will never fall. Only the owner of the throne has changed. You just have to live here as always.”
“How can you trust that, human?”
It was quite a different feeling to hear the word trust from the demons.
Also, when I think about it, I need to engrave even the seal of the oath.
“I, I guarantee… … !”
Nabe flapped her wings and stepped forward.
“I will never hurt you. In the name of Corinth, I swear… … !”
It is the guarantee of the same demon.
Even if he was attached to a human, as the saying goes, he would become the owner of a new garden.
There is power in those words.
“I will believe the promise. We trust you too, so keep your promises.”
Nabe glanced around and looked at me, so I responded with a light nod of my head.
Then, the dreamers that were blocking the front began to slowly split sideways.
The knights who lost control due to Selah’s death also lined up after them.
It was like seeing the miracles of Moses right before my eyes.
The road to the Queen.
Queen’s Road opens.
‘Now is the final battle.’
Even if it didn’t go as planned, this was a pretty successful expedition.
I tried to hide my excitement and said to the expedition members gathered around me.
“You guys are taking a break here. It won’t take long.”
“What are you talking about! Are you going to kill Amodea alone?”
Byron reacts violently to the sudden wait command.
Not only Tarkan, but everyone else had an expression that told them not to say nonsense.
“I want to take you, but I can’t. There can only be one person in there.”
I said, pointing to the tightly closed door.
The Queen’s Residence, which is on the 4th floor, has a fixed number of people who can enter at all times.
In the final chapter, which brought several companions in the main story, Aidan would face it alone.
Is it the dignity of the ‘final boss’?
Of course, as I, who knew every bit of the reality of Amodea, could never feel such dignity.
“… … are you okay? You want to catch the succubus queen by yourself?”
“don’t worry. There is no danger at all.”
Of course, because he’s going to catch the succubus queen alone.
Everyone looked worried.
Camilla, who had been back because of an injury, came forward and grabbed my collar.
“Sanwoo… … .”
“Camilla, are you okay?”
“Yes, I did first aid.”
Among the party who suffered major and minor injuries, she was seriously injured.
Right now, even if the life is not affected with Illyana’s potion, it will not be a very good situation to see that her face is floating.
“Wait a minute, I’ll let you go straight to the temple.”
“I really don’t need to fight, do I?”
“yes. Do you believe me?”
I lightly patted Camilla’s shoulder, reassuring her.
“Jorgan, please take care of the children.”
【Leave it to me. If you do anything stupid, I won’t leave you alone.]
Indeed, the confidence of a four-star spirit.
“I will be back.”
I smiled at the people in my party, and set foot toward Queen’s Road.
then.
Shall we go to usurp the real throne?
