110 11 復讐者と魔王、ふたたびの対峙1




Let's get to it. Crom Walker. Did you get the key to activate the Kuro Altar?
"Yes, it took a lot of work, but I got it in the end.

 I answer the Demon Lord's question.

 Yes, I can now draw on all of the power of the Darkness that resides within me.

 However, I have not been able to figure out what kind of things [darkness] can do, what kind of skills exist, and what are its effects and limitations. There are many questions that have yet to be answered.

 After all, Rakshasa can't tell you everything about my skills and [darkness].

I have a question for you. "I have a question for you too... tell me what you know about the Darkness.
You've kept your promise to me. Of course, now it's my turn to respond to you. You can ask me anything.

 The Witch King says with aplomb.

"I'll answer any question within my knowledge.
So let's get started...

 Since it was a good opportunity, I decided to ask all the questions I had been asking.



"I see... It's been very helpful.

 I got a whole lot of knowledge from the Demon Lord, and nodded.

 As a Demon Lord...no, as a human from the prehistoric civilization of Lemcelia.

 Yes, it seems that the Demon Lord used to be a human from Lemcelia.
 He was reborn as a demon king with a powerful [darkness] in his body. ...... That's Virgalodomus.

 It's a shocking fact, but it's not really something I'm interested in right now.

 I don't care about the rest as long as I can handle the darkness with more strength and precision.

I'm glad that my knowledge was useful.

 And, Virgalodomus.

'Now let's get down to business. Give me the key, Crom Walker. Let's start activating the Dark Altar.
"Okay.

 I summoned the key.

 It can be summoned at any time by my will.

 The jet-black key fell from the empty space into my right hand.
 At first glance, it looks like an ordinary key.

 I inserted the key into the altar.

 Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, .......

 At the same time, the surrounding area begins to ring.

 The area is enveloped in a black mist of something.
 A dense [darkness]...

...... Hahahahahaha! I'm not sure what to do.

 Vyrgalodomus barked.

 It was a roar of joy.

"You look happy, Demon Lord.

 I, on the other hand, am cold.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

 As soon as the huge skull vibrated, black energy spread from the bottom.

 That's a body.

"d*mn, I'm just a residual thought. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

In the event that you're not sure what to do, you can always ask your doctor.

I'm sure you've seen this before.

 I knew this would happen.

 The other party is the Demon Lord.

 There's no way he's going to help me out of the goodness of his heart.
 He wouldn't give me information out of the goodness of his heart.

 Of course, he had his own interests at heart and was probably just trying to take advantage of me.

He gave off the vibe of 'we can use each other', but in reality he was just trying to use me and throw me away.

I knew it. I knew it.
I have no use for you anymore. Disappear, or be my servant. Choose.

 Virgilodemus.

"Death or servitude. ...... Didn't you make the same offer when you fought Juno?

 I chuckled.

You're right. His power was too good to just be erased. And you even more so. I don't know anyone who's human and yet has such a deep darkness. If possible, I'd like you to work as my right hand man forever.

 These were the words of an evil demon lord.

"No.

 I said immediately.

 Of course not.
