SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

The name of the Demon King.

(1) ==================== 1.

It was long.

It took a long time to come here.

[Penalty due to skill occurs.] [Reproduces the trauma of the enemy who killed you.] It seems like it is time to talk about a certain nightmare.

A battle fought on the twelfth floor.

The moment when I became a drop of water and was swept away by a torrent.

[Penalty depth is medium.] I saw it after being killed by the Demon King.

[This is Aguido (飯鬼道).] Trauma.

The nightmare of one who is called the master of nightmares.

[Penalty start.] [Generates the trauma of the Demon King of the monster autumn rain.] ㆍ ㆍ ㆍ ㆍ ㆍ ㆍ A village burning in flames.

I was standing alone in the middle of the sea of fire.

no.

- Burn it! It may not have been me who was standing alone.

At least for me, there was a mastermind.

The one who truly fell into the fire of hell alone was beyond the fire and demon.

- Burn the witch's nest! Esdel.

The maiden of the margins.

The one who saves the broken people.

- Show no mercy.

They are all cursed monsters! - Don't miss a single one! Esdel couldn't understand.

no words came out I couldn't quite understand it, so I just kept my mouth shut.

why? How do humans burn humans? Parents who said they thanked them.

Newborn babies who have been given a new life by themselves.

All the children were slaughtered.

- It is the will of the Lord! Soldiers who do not know where they came from broke the barriers of the village, - His Majesty the King ordered! The knights with their own crests slashed their swords.

- His Majesty, the Emperor of the Great East, who watches the rising sun, and protector of all who dwell between land and sea...

- The Holy Father said, A heretic who dares to call himself a saint...

-This is what the great sage of the forest has asked, spirit, this arrow...

-This jewel, given to us by the mermaid queen, imparts magical power to our staff...

-Our dragoons have also come to keep the honorable promise in the primordial volcano! Come on, dragons! The in-between things by spewing fire...

They shouted out their affiliation and name, but Esdel did not know.

who the hell are they Who is it that burns humans? - Ah, ah, ah, ah! -Help me! They were cautious.

It surrounded the village as if hunting a large game.

There was no hole to escape.

A family tried to escape from the village, but they were soon caught and hunted.

The only place to escape is the town square.

Stabbed by spears, chased by knives, struck by arrows, struck by hammers, struck by staffs, burned, more and more people flocked to the square.

- Cool! in the middle of town.

In the middle of the paradise he created.

In the smoke-filled place, Esdel looked around carefully.

- Be patient.

a little bit···.

One father bent his back.

There was a small gap between the earth's ground and his father's waist.

A small child hid in the gap.

Abi welcomed the bouncing sparks instead, and swallowed the bitter smoke instead.

The father died first.

A son could live one minute longer than his father.

-little bit more···.

An old grandfather and grandmother hugged each other.

Are you trying to see off the last of your companions? Esdel thought so.

But on closer inspection, it wasn't.

A newborn baby was dug into the gap between the grandfather and grandmother.

-A little more···.

The moment the fire spread, grandpa and grandma screamed.

But the old couple did not fall.

The flames burned his elbows and he hardened as it was.

Even when they became black charcoal, the old couple hugged tightly.

Rather than saying goodbye to the last, hugs to save even a small child.

The couple died first.

The cry of a newborn baby, which flowed from the crevice, stopped after a minute.

one by one.

There was a coughing sound in the square.

The family who established an orchard and became the richest person in town.

An old man who went out to the fields every morning to do farm work.

In the fall, the old woman who looked at the wheat field commandingly murmured, 'My rock is ripe to yellow.' _Why… ? No people were left unbroken.

An incurable disease that sleeps in the stomach.

Cancer that ate the brain and back.

invisible eyes.

Feet unable to walk forward.

There are many diseases in the world, and Esdel willingly swallowed them.

Than when I swallowed all those diseases, -How...

… ? Now my heart is dyed even more black.

smothered in smoke blazed in flames I quietly opened my lips.

-·········.

In the mouth, there was a burnt smell.

Esdel realized that her heart had darkened a little.

The town burned down overnight.

In one night Esdel burned down.

bursock! Esdel scratched the ashes with her fingertips.

No one disturbed her.

Seeing the village engulfed in flames, the soldiers leisurely left.

A burning remnant of paradise.

- Lepandor...

There was the body of a father.

-Dajenna....

Under the father was the body of the child.

-Solape···, Encounter····· Ugen Corpse···.

dug -Mobazaijan....

Topo...

Enna...

Gartsov....

with bare hands.

at your fingertips.

The ruins of a town where nothing but rubble remains.

The ashes of paradise that have fallen to the ashes.

Even if your fingers are dyed red, and even the blood that flows from your nails is discolored black.

Esdel dug.

-·········.

Then, he opened his mouth and ate.

human flesh.

human bones.

If you don't even have flesh and bones, ashes.

-·······, ····.

················································································.

Human flesh was no longer fragrant.

There was no appetite, no beauty.

burnt out.

Only the remnants left behind.

Nevertheless, Esdel ate the burnt things without a break.

swallowed up gluttonously.

even if it's ugly.

Esdel's lips turned black.

Esdel's teeth were dyed black.

- Poor thing....

Her esophagus was painted black, and her stomach was filled with mucus.

The blood became a sap and spread all over the body.

It wasn't just blood.

Something was leaking from her eyes.

It probably wasn't even tears.

If it's tears, why isn't it transparent? -Poor things...

So it's just an old-fashioned thing.

The sewage used by other humans flowed over and over again, and it arrived at him.

There's no other way to go, it's just stuck in his heart.

- Poor things...

The slurp water did not stop flowing black.

- You guys flowed into the square.

- You, you too.

You are human too.

flowed into the village.

- You, too, will be born as human beings and will know the beauty of life, and you too will cry because you are human.

how come flowed into the wilderness.

-Did you call me a monster? Did you burn it as a monster? Was it really not enough just to shed tears knowing you were beautiful? So, did you not have any hesitation in calling and burning? flowed into the sanya.

-So you still remain human, and these...

are my children supposed to remain monsters forever? Was that your world? Grudges flow like rain.

- In that world, are you the only ones laughing? Are you alone allowed to be beautiful? Are you alone worthy to weep? Are you the only human? You need proof that a person is a person.

The heart echoes and howls.

-Then you must prove it now.

It rained.

- Show me.

It rained.

- Don't curse you.

because it's raining Now no village will be burned, and no estuary will be engulfed in flames.

my children.

my blood.

The color my heart has been stolen from.

My blood has already lost its color and flows only as ashes of mourning.

- Swallow by your malice.

It rained.

elegy.

- You, it rained, it rained.

-You made me this way, and so on.

- That's how I made you.

It's raining, it's raining...

- Confucius.

Flash.

- Wake up.

voice.

- This is not your hell.

At the gentle voice, I opened my eyes.

[Trauma reproduction complete.] [Confirm that the subject's self is maintained.] [End the penalty.] ㆍ ㆍ ㆍ ㆍ ㆍ ㆍ Work.

I only had one sword.

both ends.

There is only one thing left in the world that I have to cut.

- Confucius! Flash.

- Now! looked in front of me.

no.

I saw it in front of me.

- My head is empty! Wealthy as if the time of lactation was eons.

In front of me who had crossed over in an instant, there was a black person all over my body.

His body was constantly dripping with sputum.

Even if the water was cut, it was still water, so there was a lot to cut.

Both sides.

I cut what I had to cut.

- Whoa! As it was being cut, the black king shed a stipend.

Maybe it wasn't the old stuff.

If it is a Chinese New Year, why is it red? blood.

Red drops of blood flowed from the demon king's body.

-Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! The Demon King staggered and stepped back.

one step.

two footprints.

When he took three steps, the water stopped flowing from the demon king's right arm.

There was still a black puddle in the footsteps of the demon king, but when he took two steps rather than one step, and three steps rather than two steps, the puddle became more and more drowsy.

Suddenly.

-Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

From the demon king's body, the purgatory was peeling off.

Touk.

drop.

The water could no longer flow, so blood flowed instead.

The color of life was originally red.

[The presence of the demon king of the autumn rain fades.] There was no longer an existence that boasted absolute indifference.

- No...

No, no, no...! The Demon King wrapped his left arm with his right hand.

Blood was dripping from his left arm.

As if he could not forgive every drop of blood leaking out, like a person who was trying to get back water that had been spilled in the past, the Demon King tightly closed the wound.

-My children...

like this...

resentment, resentment....

“Retreat.”

I made a low voice.

If a person's sword cuts through the body, the voice cuts through the soul.

As if cut by my voice, the demon lord stopped.

“Back to the twentieth floor.

anyway you can't beat me Go back to your hometown, to the last demon king, calmly.”

Already looking at the 'world map', the situation was clear and clear.

blue territory.

The rivers of mankind again covered the continent.

crossed the middle mountain range.

They crossed a canyon called the shield of the goddess.

A temple overlooked by a one-eyed giant.

A forest where fairies dance.

A waterfall where mermaids run.

A mountain where lava flows...

.

From the plains of the continent to the corners, there was no ungreen territory.

On the other hand, the red territory.

“Now go back to your starting point.”

one point.

It was only one divination.

No matter how wide the field is, the flames burn out, eventually becoming a single embers and extinguishing them.

Even if it is a waterway that overflows to the bottom of the sky, in the past, it ceased to be a single drop of water.

On the vast map of the world, there was only a faint red dot like half a fire.

That is, “Your end point.

Devil." The demon king made a noise.

- Yes, bastard.

The Demon King raised his head.

The water had stopped and blood was flowing, but half of the demon king's body was still burning.

So was the face.

The red eyes just gleamed in a particularly ugly way.

With a face still submerged in lye, the demon king glared at this side.

"Hmm." The swordsman silently grabbed the hilt.

“I will yield the final blow to the Four Kings.”

The witch leisurely held the six mirrors.

-·········.

No matter where he looked, there was no chance for a comeback.

I didn't see any gaps.

Was it because he had glimpsed the trauma of the Demon King? The current situation felt like a village surrounded by soldiers.

A veil of men with no escape hole.

- Whoa! The Demon King has no answer other than to run away.

Even so, the reason I can't readily choose an answer is because the Demon King knows that it's not the right answer.

same.

Just like running away from the flames into the square only adds one minute to your life.

Even if we get kicked out and retreat to the 20th floor, the moment of defeat will only be delayed slightly.

-Shit···! Shit! Blood flowed from the demon king's mouth.

[The Demon King of Autumn Rain decides to retreat.] [The Demon King of Autumn Rain retreats to the 20th floor!] Yes.

It is a human being who crawls away knowing that it will burn to death.

The more you run away, the closer the demon lord becomes to a human.

[Confirm the retreat of the Demon King.] [Change history.] [Revise the stage on the 19th floor.] The world was once again enveloped in a drop of light.

After confirming that the demon lord had disappeared, I looked back.

"Swordsman." "Well." “Black Dragon Lord.”

"okay." “I’m sorry.

I want to break the 20th floor by myself.”

I bowed my head, "Thank you for your help so far.

But I want to make a deal with that Demon King.

Please let me go alone." "··········" The witch shrugged.

You helped me by waking up on my own terms, so I’ll be really quiet this time.”

“Hmm.”

The swordsman put the sword into the sheath.

"After today is over, it's already been 5 days.

After cleaning up the 20th floor, I'll meet you separately.

You and I must have a lot of things to share." “Yes, I see.”

I bowed my head again, "Thank you." And headed to "Transfer." The twentieth stage [Welcome, Four Kings.] Demon King, to the town where Esdel was born..
