9th Circle Lord

116 #116화 King of Chaos

Luther brought his hand to the wiggling caterpillar. 

He was sensitive to external stimuli, and twisted his whole body as if it touched fire.

He looked painful, but he never took out his dangling mouth from Dragon Lord's brain.

'At least it doesn't seem aggressive.’

The purpose seemed clear.

It looked like doing something through the brain.

What is that?

Luther forcibly removed the caterpillar on purpose. I pulled my body and cut off the mouth.

When the wiggling caterpillar cut off its long mouth, the color changed and shrunk like a withered leaf.

Eventually, it completely melted away.

I got rid of a caterpillar, but there was a change.

Luther stopped trying to open another caterpillar.

"The Dragon Lord's manna is stabilizing.’

Rough manna, who was swirling all over the place like an angry tsunami, was looking for stability.

Luther's eyes were distinctive.

'Look at this?'

After killing the caterpillar, the Dragon Lord's mana regained stability.

That means that caterpillars are affecting Rod's madness.

"No way, are you sure? Did those caterpillars drive the dragon crazy?"

If so, it was very interesting.

"It's no ordinary bet if you're driving Dragon Lord crazy. No, I'd say that's the one who provided this guy.”

Luther didn't think these guys were natural parasites.

It was clear that someone artificially planted it in the head of the Dragon Lord.

"Interesting. Who did it?"

Luther muttered and approached another caterpillar.

The work on removing his caterpillar has begun.

One by one, every time the caterpillars disappear, the runaway mana subsides.

The caterpillar disappeared in an instant.

Then, the change began from the outside.

"Wow!"

Angry Dragon Lord suddenly collapsed and wrapped his head.

Reason returns to the place where inertia, which was soaked in the longing for destruction, disappeared.

Dragons, who were pressuring Rod, also gasped and started to catch their breath when the battle stopped for a while.

Extreme combat requires extreme physical exhaustion, no matter how manna is made up.

The tired dragons still kept their eyes on the Dragon Lord without letting go of the tension.

cried Dragon Lord.

"Head! Head!"

The dragons were startled.

Rod opened his mouth after a long time.

You look very distressed.

Baikal carefully examined Dragon Road and got a scratch.

The blood-soaked red pupil filled with gold.

He stuttered and asked.

"Ro, Rod! Did you come to your senses?"

"Who are you, man?"

"Blue Dragon Baikal, Lord! Do you recognize me?”

Baikal asked me, just in case.

Dragon Lord nodded as he managed to calm the surging headache.

"Yes, I remember. Baikal."

"Oh, my God! Dragon Lord has come to his senses!”

The dragons paused at Baikal's cry. Until now, Dragon Lord was in a frenzy and was in a hurry to eat all beings, let alone talk.

Let's show a different side of us.

As if to meet everyone's expectations, Dragon Lord said with strength.

"I've been stuck in the dark for a long time. What the hell is going on here?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in the sight of Dragon Lord, who did not remember.

Dragon Lord finally came to his senses. 

Baikal spoke in a serious tone.

"Dragon Lord. You've been predating us all this time, remember?”

"Predation? I'm a predation? No way! No way!"

Suspicions arose in his perplexed eyes and long lamented.

"Oh, I see. I've been used!"

"What do you mean, you've been used?"

"I don't have time to explain. "When a little reason returns, you must be prepared."

Dragon Lord, who had been raising caution endlessly, suddenly wrapped his head around him.

"Crazy!"

The dragons stepped back with a scratch at the painful scream.

There is an unknown situation going on with Dragon Lord, and there is still tension because it is impossible to catch the bell.

cried Baikal.

"Lord! Let me know what happened to you! That way, I won't help you or not!"

We've been predating, but Lord is Lord.

Only when he finds reason can he stabilize the situation and go back to the past.

Before that, he had to find out his symptoms.

"Crazy!"

However, Dragon Lord screamed painfully without answering.

Every dragon in the room looked at such a rod seriously.

Luther, who was still observing Dragon Lord's brain, nodded at the stabilized manna.

"I've found stability.”

It would be fortunate if it were allies, but unfortunately, Luther's mission was not the stability of Dragon Lord.

"I'm afraid I'll have to find out what's going on."He did not remove the caterpillar for the dragon.

The consciousness rises to the surface when madness is removed. Luther had to dig through the past through the ceremony.

Dragon Lord barely regained stability, but it turned out to be just the beginning.

It's his turn since he erased his madness.

Luther looked into the memory of Dragon Lord using the creative rune language.

Dragon Lord screamed when Luther intervened in the gentle stream of consciousness.

Originally, it was supposed to be unconscious and parallel, but it was natural that it was painful to enter while looking at the present.

Luther didn't mean to look at Rod's situation.

"Who is the culprit?"’

Luthor, who had been poking his memory, began to look into the Dragon Lord's past.

The afterimage of memory, which appeared like a mirror, began to shine on the past.

The memory that appeared was the predation of Dragon Lord.

You've eaten a lot.’

As I recall, there were not one or two dragons killed by Rod.

It was obvious that he was desperate to summon Naksanor, who the dragons were reluctant to do.

Luther skipped the dragon hunting part.

'There must have been a trigger.’

There must have been a crazy process.

After a long time, a clue finally appeared.

There was a flying scene at the point of Dragon Lord, and his murmur caught Luther's eye.

"I told you not to hang around. How dare you cross my land? You're a d*mn monster, and I won't stand still if you're in a quagmire."

Luther's eyes were irritated by the young man's murmuring.

'This is where it begins.’

Seeing the angry Dragon Lord's attitude, I was wary.

What the hell is going on?

Flying across the sky, he arrived at a cave on a cliff.

The entrance to the cave was small to hold him.

However, Dragon has its own proverb, Polymorph.

Dragon Lord, who turned into an elf fluttering golden hair, arrived at the entrance of the cave and bounced his finger to take out a full-length mirror from the subspace.

A vision appeared in the full-length mirror.

Luther nodded.

'As expected.’

Luther was familiar with the visionary figure.

The devil waved his hand as if he were pleased.

"Hey! Dragon Lord! How are you?"

Dragon Lord shouted fiercely at the smiling devil.

"Oh, my God! What are you doing all of a sudden? You broke the tie. What did I warn you not to be in the Dragon realm again?"

The devil is pleased, but the Dragon Lord is full of hostility.

Luther understood the position of Dragon Lord exactly.

'The devil is a fearful creature to be near.'

The devil has the power of God.

The dragon species on such a continent are like lanterns in front of the wind.

I'm anxious and nervous, but I have to get nervous because I keep showing my face.

The devil looked upset by Dragon Lord's nervous reaction.

"I'm sorry about this. I'm very happy for you, but you're a real enemy."

"I don't want to play along with your stupid pun, so you'd better tell me why you broke the rules."

"Oh, my God, what's the big deal? I have to send a signal to call you, but I'm blindfolded and closed with my ears, so what can I do to talk to you? I couldn't help it. Please understand."

"There's no reason for us to talk."

"Oh, my God. You're such a shameless fellow. You'll get hurt if you don't pay attention to what's going on in the world.”

The devil's advice cannot be overlooked.

Dragon Lord raised his guard and shouted fiercely.

"Are you threatening me?"

The devil kicked his tongue at the sensitive reaction that seemed excessive.

He said with a sympathetic look.

"That's what I'm saying. Aren't you too sensitive?"

"I don't want to talk to you, so just give me a quick word."

"He's a little big, but he's smaller than a bean. Well, I'll get you what you want. Stop summoning the spell immediately."

Dragon Lord got a scratch.

He stiffened his face and answered in a stiff tone.

"I did not summon the spell."

"You can't avoid my eyes even if you've crossed the line. I know why, but you'd better not let me interfere. I'm sure you know that. There's nothing good for you or me if you summon the devil. Besides, other dragons do, but if you work on it, it's dangerous. So listen to my advice."Rod nodded at the devil's advice.

"I'll do that."

The devil gave serious advice, stiffening his face, whether he liked the answer.

"You haven't forgotten the agreement, have you? He didn't touch you and your people in exchange for not summoning them. But the moment you break the deal, everything will be ruined. You and me."

"I'll keep that in mind."

"That word. I'll believe you. Please don't forget my request.”

The demon king disappeared.

Then Dragon Lord's expression became fierce.

"Agreement? That's ridiculous. I know exactly what you've done in neutral, but are you going to play with me?"

Nervously muttering, he spoke in a confident voice.

"I can see that you're trying to eat me and my species. I'll never let you do that."

Determined, he entered the cave.

As the space was moved to the basement by the magic camp, a large cavity appeared.

He moved to the center lit by the glowstone.

In the center, a magic image was drawn on the floor made of iron.

The Dragon Lord murmured.

"We have to hit the players first before we get fooled by the devil's tricks. As he said, the spell I summon will be extraordinary. I will take the devil and rule this world."

The resolution was brief.

He poured manna into the magic camp and caused a stir.

Black space broke out and darkness flooded in, eroding everywhere.

After a while, an elf who looked just like Dragon Lord stood facing each other.

asked Dragon Lord.

"Are you a demon?"

The elf-shaped masquerade grinned.

"Mamul? You sound funny."

I can feel relaxed in a strange voice. The blind Dragon Lord asked again.

"Then what are you?"

"What are you gonna do?”

If he responded to the summons of Naxanor, the reaction of the claimant, not the devil, is not good.

Dragon Lord said coldly.

"You appeared in this world in response to my summons. You know the law of summons that started from the beginning, right? You must obey my orders from now on."

"You made one big mistake.”

Magic appeared on the front of the Dragon Road like a ghost.

Naksanor's enchantment, which was so close that I could feel his breath, touched Rod's cheek.

"Among the many Naksanor demons, I'm the one who gets caught. You're really unlucky."

Dragon Lord's body froze hard.

I have an ominous feeling.

He asked.

"Are you the devil of Naxanor?"

A being who called himself the devil introduced himself with a big smile.

"Yes, I am the devil of chaos. Blessings and curses, the product of great chaos that combines destruction and creation."

Dragon Lord asked carefully.

"The devil won't break the law of summons, will he?”

The devil of chaos kicked his tongue.

"I don't have rules, you fool. I'm not interfering even if I mention the vow of the beginning."

He answered and put his hand on Dragon Lord's head.

"That's why you're poor. I've executed a summons, and I've met someone who's above the law."

The devil, who put his hand on Dragon Lord's head, grinned.

"Now, let's have fun."

"Ugh!"

Along with him, Dragon Lord collapsed. Since you lost consciousness, your memory should be lost.

But I couldn't stop remembering.

The devil of chaos turned his head.

Luther's expression, which he was watching, hardened.

The devil's eyes were exactly looking at him.
