Square square square-
The Demon King, who was trying to gain notoriety by taking advantage of the gap in death, was stopped by the human hero Abel and his companions before he could move.
The King of the Underworld was split into many pieces again and sank into the lake, and the demons either died at the hands of the heroes or fled back to the Demon World.
Also, Anasis, who was unable to absorb the Demon King's power, fled outside the empire to gather strength.
“Ugh...”
“Simone, are you awake?”
“...Write it down...”
“What?”
“The writer... wrote... that he... revised the... absurd development... in the book of prophecy...”
“...Judging from the way you speak, you don’t seem to be of sound mind. I’ll keep carrying you.”
After that, Simone was silent. It seemed she chose to just lie there.
Louis asked, holding the prophecy book in his hands.
“What about this prophecy now?”
“What can I do? Ask Simone. Anyway, it’s a curse, so she’ll tell you to get rid of it.”
“It’s a sacred object. Can I get rid of it?”
“What does it matter? Only those who worship God and those who seek power without knowing the subject cherish the sacred relics.”
Geneon narrowed his eyes and looked at Louis.
“Do you need that prophecy?”
“No need. The future shouldn’t be controlled by one person. However, I was thinking of asking permission to keep it in the castle as long as it wasn’t destroyed. It’s dangerous.”
It would be great if Simone could get rid of it as she wants.
Geneon smiled without realizing it as he watched Louis speaking without any selfish intentions.
He is such an upright Crown Prince.
It's hard to believe that he is the blood relative of the Emperor who once persecuted necromancers for being too powerful.
Finally, they came out of the building.
"Ah..."
Louise looked up at the sky and let out a gasp.
The black clouds that had formed around the lake where the Demon King was sealed were slowly clearing away.
The corpses that had been wandering the square regained life and returned to the living, staring blankly at the sky.
He must be searching through his memories, not knowing what on earth happened to him.
Louis smiled weakly. None of the people in the square looked twisted or mutilated.
It was the result of Louis enduring the pain and turning back.
“Simone, are you listening? You haven’t fainted yet, have you?”
“...That’s not something you should talk to a dying person.”
Louis chuckled at Simone's feeble answer.
“You can talk to me while we’re both dying. I’m coughing up blood and carrying you around right now, so isn’t this okay?”
Simone didn't answer. Louis took this to mean she could do whatever she wanted and opened his mouth.
“We did it.”
It's all over. Although Anasis has been resurrected, the dead have returned and the Demon King's resurrection has been prevented.
“The people of the castle and the people of the mansion will all return.”
"...Thank God."
I'm so glad.
Simone pressed her hands against her eyes.
She was so thankful that she had her face buried in Louis's back and no one could see it.
She almost looked like she was in a sorry state.
Finally, the dark clouds that had been gradually dispersing completely disappeared, and sunlight poured down on the ground.
For Simone, who did not know what Louis had written in the book of prophecy, everything that had happened since arriving at the mansion was a mystery.
The mansion that she arrived at, hanging on Louis' shoulder, was just as scorched as when she left.
But what was surprising was what happened after that. The two were greeted by servants wearing blood-stained clothes and the Illestons.
“Simone!”
“Simone!”
Florier and his servants rushed in to receive Simone and began to shed tears.
They had complicated expressions on their faces as if they knew what had happened so far.
No, they definitely seemed to know what had happened to them.
“As expected, you solved it... Good work.”
Even the blunt Grand Duke of Illestone gave a cringe-worthy greeting like 'thank you' with a very emotional expression on his face.
Although she was a bit taken aback, Simone was glad that they seemed to have a rough idea of the situation and that she could tell them the results right away without any further explanation.
'There's been so much going on, I'm too tired to talk anymore.'
After receiving a brief treatment with Simone, Louis returned to the castle with an exhausted face.
The servants spent a long time tidying up the chaotic mansion.
After some time had passed, Abel and his group visited the mansion.
“Can you tell me what happened in the battle that day?”
In response to Simone's question, Abel explained what had happened at the lake with a very uneasy expression.
“I don’t know, me too? We were clearly fighting at a disadvantage, but I fought with my eyes rolled back, saying that I absolutely couldn’t let the Demon King resurrect. And I won. Simone, I think I’m too strong-”
Slap!
Orkan looked at Abel pitifully, hitting him on the back.
“How arrogant! You almost died? Did you turn a deaf ear to what Louis said earlier? If Louis hadn’t risked his life to write our victory in the Book of Prophecy, we would all have died! We’re still far from enough.”
Before coming to the mansion, he stopped by the castle and shared the situation with Louis.
Anyway, Abel, Bianchi, and Orkan remembered the time when they were helplessly defeated by the Demon King and the Demon Tribe, gritting their teeth and going off to train.
After that, surprisingly, the daily life in the mansion went on peacefully.
The Grand Duke of Illeston made sure that Simone had enough rest, and she was able to rest for almost a month to relieve her physical and mental fatigue.
After spending a month in quarantine in her room, Simone finally came out and realized something was strange.
It wasn't anything strange related to a curse.
Unlike Simone's peaceful days, the world had become noisy in the past month.
The Demon King, who was trying to gain notoriety by taking advantage of the gap in death, was stopped by the human hero Abel and his companions before he could move.
The King of the Underworld was split into many pieces again and sank into the lake, and the demons either died at the hands of the heroes or fled back to the Demon World.
Also, Anasis, who was unable to absorb the Demon King's power, fled outside the empire to gather strength.
“Ugh...”
Drop drop.
Blood flowed out of Louis's mouth.
So it seems that the story of Abel defeating the Demon King was too far-fetched.
Even if Anasis' summoning was confirmed, if the Demon King were to become active, the situation would become irreversible, so they wanted to stop the Demon King in a way that was at least possible.
However, it seems that Abel and his colleagues were not yet able to stop the awakened Demon King. As soon as Louis wrote these contents in the Book of Prophecy, he began to feel the pain of his internal organs being twisted.
But conversely, the fact that Louis, the user of the prophecy, was suffering so much meant that Abel had stopped the Demon King just as he had prophesied.
“Ugh, haa...”
Louis' hand holding the pen was shaking so much that he couldn't write.
It hurt so much that he wanted to hold onto his stomach and roll around if he could. And that's not all? He lost consciousness without even realizing it as if he was possessed by something.
All the strength in his body was being sucked into the book of prophecy while he was writing, and he felt like he would collapse at any moment.
Was Simone always using her strength while suffering like this?
How many times have I seen Simone vomit blood and collapse in pain?
What on earth was going through her mind as she endured all this and protected the people?
Louis gritted his teeth and grabbed the fountain pen that had fallen from his hand weakly.
Must do.
Just as she went through this pain every time to protect her loved ones.
'For the Empire.'
For my precious things.
'Just a little more.'
Square- Square-
The Demon King is stopped, and the countless souls that were absorbed by him return to their original bodies.
All life that was trampled for the Demon King's resurrection will return to its original form.
Kluck. Louis vomited thick blood again.
Louis, who had decided to take responsibility for the somewhat nonsensical parts, moved his hands without hesitation.
The people of the Luan Empire all remember the terrible events of that day. The pain of death will gradually fade and be forgotten, but the anger of being trampled will not be forgotten.
It's all done.
“Thank you for your hard work, Crown Prince. Fortunately, it seems your soul wasn’t stolen by the Book of Prophecy.”
Only after Geneon spoke did Louis put down his pen and lean against the wall.
“It’s a pain I never want to experience again.”
“What are you talking about? Look at that kid.”
Louis turned his gaze to where Geneon had pointed. Meanwhile, Simone had fainted.
Louis took a deep breath.
“Is it all over now?”
“Well, I guess I’ll have to get out of here and see for myself. Can you get up? Since I couldn’t stop Anasis, I’d better get out of here before it’s summoned.”
“Whew. I’m dying, but what can I do? I have to go.”
Louis got up with a frown on his face and surrounded Simone.
They barely survived, so they can't risk running into Anasis again.
Geneon clicked his tongue as he ran in step with Louis.
“The Demon King stopped it, but you left Anasis’ summoning alone.”
“If I stop both of them, I’m already dead.”
Still, Anasis, who was unable to absorb the Demon King's power, might be able to handle it.
The Occult Society was destroyed.
Should I be grateful that there is at least a glimmer of hope?
Simone, who had just come to her senses, muttered while completely exhausted.
“It is written in the book of prophecy...”
