Election (1)

I was nervous.

If there is an existence that wields a foreign power that has never appeared in the original work, there is only one possibility.

It meant a person who created the system or was associated with the system.

“that.”

Quaid, who was about to speak, paused.

Quaid’s expression darkened.

“what?”

I asked as I slowly wrinkled my face.

It was a strange reaction, as if he had now realized something strange.

“A man in a black robe.”

Quaid said with a strangely lack of confidence.

“Tell me more properly. The man in the black robe? There must have been millions of men who have worn black robes.”

“Jee, really, that’s all. A man in a black robe handed me something. That’s all.”

“A human handing it over? Did you meet outside the demon realm? Where did you see it?”

Quaid let out a small moan of pain at my words.

“It is not human.”

“Then where? devildom?”

“My castle in the demon realm.”

I laughed out loud because I said it so confidently.

7 It was unbelievable that humans would go to the depths of the Demon Realm where the castle of disaster is located.

Devil… The land twisted by the Nias of the past rejects all living things, including humans, that have not been twisted by demonic energy. When an ordinary human entered the Demon Realm, his body and soul were twisted and died, or on rare occasions, like Quaid, he was lucky enough to be resurrected as a Demonic Beast.

Those who received the protection of the Constellation were able to endure without being affected by demonic energy.

However, the demonic energy of the demon world grows thicker the deeper you go. If it was a castle of seven disasters, the magic was beyond imagination.

At this point in the original work, there was only one person who could reach the Castle of Seven Disasters.

But there’s no way that person with a heavy butt and a lot of work to do moved.

“Are you sure it’s human? Isn’t it a magic beast?”

“Wow, sure. He was human.”

“You weren’t even suspicious of that? Were there humans in the demon realm?”

“No, that… . I don’t know. It didn’t feel odd at all. Really!”

It’s not completely reliable, but it didn’t sound like a lie.

If I had tried to lie, I would have lied more believably.

I let out a small sob.

[Many constellations begin a discussion, curious about the man’s identity.]

Messages were heard from the constellations talking to each other.

Opinions were divided, but most pointed to him as the strongest candidate for the current hero.

I rubbed my chin for a while.

“Think of something more characteristic.”

I said as I grabbed him by the collar.

“Now, wait a minute, that’s all. All I can think of is that Outside the black robe… .”

“Did you not see my face? face!”

“Earl, face… ?”

Quaid frowned with all his might.

The black flames inside the red eyes shook as if in agony.

“It was just black. it was black I saw only darkness, as if there was nothing and it was empty.”

“You didn’t have a face? Then it’s a magic trick.”

“Because he was human!”

“Then how do you know it’s human?”

“Because it smelled like humans! He was definitely human. I’m confused too!”

Quaid shook his head loudly.

Looking at his trembling eyes as if he was confused, it seemed that there was a limit to pushing it because it was a lie.

“I hope he… ?”

Elin came next to me and grabbed my right arm and whispered.

“Who are you talking about him?”

Libya also nodded and joined the conversation.

In the next moment, a sharp exchange of glances took place between Livia and Elin.

Before the two started a full-blown battle of nerves, I opened my mouth first to cut off the atmosphere that was trying to make things bad.

“Elin means His Majesty the Emperor.”

Livia’s expression hardened after hearing my words.

“Your Majesty?”

“yes. Because in this world, only His Majesty the Emperor is known to have enough power to roam the demon realm so freely.”

The one chosen by the most powerful constellation in this world was the emperor.

It was famous for the story that the emperor solved everything when he came to his senses no matter what crisis befell the empire.

However, the situation is unknown about his ability. This was the reason why everyone was wary of the emperor and worshiped him at the same time.

Of course, having read the original, I knew about that ability. It was a very reluctant force. I didn’t want to face it as much as possible.

“Ha, but it can’t be. His Majesty is in the capital, isn’t he busy?”

“right. It can’t be. busy A lot of.”

Even if it wasn’t for that, there was no way the emperor would come out of the imperial castle on his own.

At this point, the emperor had work to do in the imperial castle, and that work was more important than anything else.

It was also because of this that he was unable to pay attention to the fierce battle between the successors.

[Constellation, Gaunis asks if there is anything you don’t know. Huh ♡]

-Hey you… ! huh? for a moment

I looked at the strongest sword.

With this sword, he remembered that he had severed the connection between Gaunis and the thread of fate some time ago.

What he had severed at that time was the connection between Gaunis and the power of the thread of fate.

If only we could cut off the Robnam power that confused Quaid’s memory now.

“Uh, uh… ?!”

Quaid screamed in horror as I raised my sword.

‘have.’

As I tried to recognize the power, I began to see a lumpy power like some smoke connected to Quaid.

“I’m not trying to kill you.”

I swung my sword at the ominous smoke-like power.

The sword collided with the force like smoke.

For a moment, the sword felt a backlash that he had never felt even when he was cutting the thread of fate.

But when I applied more force, the sword cut the power with a popping sound.

“You still have nothing on your mind?”

As the sword I swung just cut through the air, Quaid looked up at me with a blank expression for a moment.

“Do you remember anything?”

I drew my sword and asked again.

I cut off the power once, but I wasn’t sure if this would really work.

“ah… okay.”

Quaid stuttered his mouth open.

“What’s inside the robe at first glance… What I did see… same.”

It was still an unsure voice.

However, in a state where I needed even a little clue, I brushed up on Quaid.

“what? what did you see Come on, tell me.”

Gradually, a light of confidence passed over Quaid’s face.

As if something had come to mind, Quaid jerked his head up and opened his mouth.

“What I saw was ♣.”

“what?”

Quaid’s words sounded strange. In an incomprehensible state like tinnitus.

“■♣▲★”

“… ”

Quaid then said something again, but even that word rang in his ears like a loud tinnitus.

“Ellin, Libya, what do you guys hear about this… .”

Wondering if this is a phenomenon that only happens to me, I looked around and my head stood on end.

Countless letters appeared on Libya and Elina’s body.

<Libya>

[One. Assassin’s Guild Princess]

[2. Infinite (obsessive) love for Leonhard]

[3. Ability to deal with shadow demons]

.

.

.

[113. ???]

<Elin>

[One. The Holy Maiden of Evil God Yuan]

[2. Lonely without Leonhardt]

[3. Prefers physical pleasures]

.

.

.

[102. He thinks he should take care of Elina]

It is a setting. The keywords of the setting were floating on her face and body.

“senior? What’s wrong?”

“Confucius… ? Your complexion is not good.”

The moment the two of them said those words, [Infinite (obsessive) love for Leonhardt] appeared on Livia’s forehead, and [Loneliness without Leonhardt] grew on the nape of Elin’s neck.

“… no, what is this?”

Embarrassed, I turned my eyes to Quaid again.

However, the same phenomenon happened to Quaid.

[Unexpectedly sometimes I’m scared]

The letters grew larger and then smaller, appearing under Quaid’s chin.

I let go of the hand that was holding Quaid’s collar and slowly stepped back.

In the next instant, letters appeared on every wall, object, and object around him.

All of them, too, had their own settings written on them.

I immediately looked around my body. Cold sweat broke out.

Strangely, however, no keywords had developed in my body.

“What is this… .”

Tring!

[System Error: An error has occurred in the system. Recovery begins.]

[System Error: An error has occurred in the system. Recovery is in progress. Please wait a moment.]

[System Error: The system encountered an error… .]

[System Error: An intruder was found on your system. Please be careful.]

pick.

The system window suddenly shut down.

In the next moment, the sense that the world was far away came by surprise.

The vision flickered and flickered, then suddenly everything went black.

Everything around them disappeared, including Elin, Rivia, and Quaid. All that was there was pitch-black darkness.

“… ”

I stiffened my neck and concentrated on the sensations of my whole body.

Something was in this darkness.

I remembered what the system window had last said.

There is an intruder.

Realizing that fact, I glared at the darkness.

And so that the wait was not in vain, something slowly emerged from the darkness.

Even in pitch-black darkness, it was clear and distinct.

It was a tall man wearing a black robe. Even though I couldn’t see the figure or face because of the thick robe, I felt that way for some reason.

It was immediately apparent that the man was the man in the black robe Quaid had spoken of.

The face inside the robe was stained with a deep, black darkness.

The fact that I couldn’t see someone’s face there, even though I knew it was there, sent chills down my spine.

“Who are you?”

I asked, barely resisting the creeping fear.

Then Rob slowly shook his head. Rob slowly raised his arm to me.

The hand that came out of the robe and pointed at me was definitely human.

{you. Doing such a stupid thing.}

A voice that seemed out of this world came from his mouth.

After all, this guy was fundamentally different from the characters I’ve seen in this world so far.

It was a very foreign sensation, as if this world and that man were at a distance.

{I’d love to hear why you did this.}

“… what a bullsh*t Since you first touched my surroundings through Quaid. Why did you touch me now?”

After hearing my words, Robnam slowly withdrew the hand he had extended to me.

{Don’t you know me?}

It was a voice filled with wonder.

“How do I know you! Who are you! Are you the creator of the system?”

The voice grew higher and higher.

The more I dealt with this guy, the more relaxed I was.

A strange feeling of nervousness boiled over, as if water was about to boil.

{Right. Did the plan work out that way?}

Robnam said something incomprehensible and then nodded.

{I am not the creator of the system.}

“How did you do this if you weren’t the creators of the system?”

{Neither did I.}

For some reason, my heart was pounding.

A heart-wrenching nervousness still continued to haunt me.

Robnam stared at me from the darkness inside the hood. His intense gaze, immersed in the darkness, was somehow unknown.

{I am the final enemy you must defeat.}

That single word echoed earnestly in the black space.

It was like a declaration to me.

Hearing that, I was a little taken aback.

enemy? Did you just say you were the final boss?

The final enemy of the original work was the fake demon lord Nias set up.

The fake Demon King was, of course, a Witchbeast. But that robe man is a human being. Although I don’t know why I feel it as a person.

“Are you going to enmity me? why?”

At my words, the boy laughed. It was a ghastly laugh that sounded like scratching metal.

{I’ve been hostile for a long time. Leonhard. It doesn’t matter why.}

As Robnam waved his hand lightly, a sight passed by like an illusion.

A man in black robes offered Nias reincarnation, and a man in black robes whispered something to Isaac when he was trying to get the strongest sword.

The former could have been natural since it was based on the original story, but at the time of the strongest sword, what I thought was just a whim of the world was what this man did.

In other words, this man was involved in both the development of the original work and the development outside the original work.

Robnam opened his mouth slowly.

{Soon the power of your sword will end. You’d better not look for me for a while.}

Certainly, the power in the sword in his hand was gradually disappearing.

It seemed like there was no choice but to send it here.

At the same time as the power of the sword was fading away, it became increasingly difficult to breathe.

This robe man possessed a certain mighty power that the current me could never match.

A feeling of pressure that was incomparable to the Magi that Quaid exuded pressed down on her whole body.

I persisted though.

By raising the last remaining time.

“hey.”

I raised my sword and faced him.

The darkness inside the robe, like an empty black darkness, seemed empty.

Towards that empty darkness, I also proclaimed as he did.

“The next time we meet, I will definitely hit you.”

The darkness inside Robnam’s hood seemed to shimmer for a moment.

{Right. Then it would be good to enjoy the situation outside.}

Robnam disappeared as if melting into darkness.

My head became dizzy, and my eyes flickered again.

Tring!

[The system has been restored again.]

With those words, his vision brightened again.

For some reason, as if he had slept for a long time, his hair was hazy and his mouth was dry.

My head was foggy, probably lying on the bed in the dorm.

“Are you awake?”

Blonde, Elin was visible.

Elin was sitting on the bed, looking down at me.

She was as pretty as an angel with her long silver hair hanging down and an uncharacteristically soft smile.

“Elin… ?”

“It’s Elina! really! Upset!”

Elina lightly pinched my cheek.

“Oh sorry.”

It was only then that he could recognize Elina by her warm atmosphere and long hair. How long have you been sleeping?

I rubbed my pinched cheek and slowly got up.

A system error occurs, and after encountering Robnam… And it seems that he fainted.

I looked around the room.

It seemed to be my room in a dormitory, but the atmosphere was very different from when I went out before.

There were thick curtains on all the windows in the room, and is that a barricade on the door?

A bad feeling ran.

“How long has it been since I passed out?”

To my question, Elina answered with a somewhat ambiguous expression.

“Three days have passed.”

“What… ?”

My heart sank.

What three days have passed?

I had to quickly figure out what was going on.

As I hurriedly got out of bed, a word pierced my head like an arrow.

Wait, what about Yuria?
