54 – Nightfall DLC – Descent of the Demon King (2)

Ever since then, Yujin can be said to be the owner of various experiences that others have not easily experienced.

If you are an ordinary person living in modern society, you can experience things like fighting with demons who try to assassinate you all the time, or infiltrating the castle with only a sword and trying to assassinate the demon king. Because there is no

However, even Eugene, the owner of so many bizarre experiences, has experiences he has never experienced before.

It is something that even Eugene, a hero of another world and a returnee, has never experienced…

“So… Are you telling me to fight myself?”

“Yes. I beg you so kindly. Sword Lord.”

Right after Eugene caught the evil spirit and saw the true ending of Nightfall, Powell Software contacted him urgently.

There is an urgent matter to discuss regarding Nightfall’s DLC, ‘Descent of the Demon King’, which will be released soon, so please visit the head office as soon as possible.

I thought it was something big, so I rushed to the head office, and the first thing the general director said was that.

No one was able to catch the boss monster created with Eugene’s battle data, the Demon King.

No, let alone catch them, they couldn’t even find the person who gave the devil a proper blow.

If the demon lord was put in the DLC as it is, the users would surely be annihilated instead of defeating the demon lord.

To be honest, Eugene couldn’t understand why the general director would ask such a favor.

“By the way, aren’t ‘rulers’ like ‘stargazers’ and evil spirits generally unbeatable boss monsters? In that sense, I don’t think there’s much difference from the demon king.”

That’s right.

Eugene defeated the ‘stargazer’ and the evil god in just one round. As it is, they are not opponents that ordinary players can face head-on.

Even if Eugene hadn’t used Uinoegi too much, it would have been quite dangerous, so what more do I need to say?

On the subject of making the game in such a way that the balance was given away from the beginning, there was no way it would be persuasive if you pretended to be for the general players by talking about the difficulty level now.

“Um… If you talk like that, I have little to say, but… The ‘rulers’ and the ‘demon king’ appearing in the main story are beings with different directions of production in the first place.”

What the creators of Nightfall put the most emphasis on when designing the ‘rulers’ was none other than the cosmic horror.

In other words, the ‘rulers’ appearing in the hidden route were the beings that were put in so that the players could feel helpless and hopeless as they faced beings that completely transcended human understanding.

That’s why players can never beat them unless they go through a few events that don’t artificially weaken the power of the ‘ruler’.

Because they are absolutes who have a background that they can never win with human power in the first place.

But ‘The Devil’ is different.

What the creators of Nightfall, and those who are waiting for the DLC even at this moment, expect from the Demon Lord is not a cosmic horror, but a physical that transcends human limitations.

As such, when players deal with the ‘Demon King’, they cannot use the method of weakening its power through some kind of event, as in the case of catching the ‘Ruler’.

If you use that method, players will not be able to get rid of the feeling that the process is very unfair and artificial.

And as much as players feel that way, the ratings and number of purchases of DLC will decrease day by day.

He said that the DLC for this Nightfall is definitely lower than he expected.

It’s never like that. It’s something that should never happen.

Especially considering the profits earned from Powell Software due to the skyrocketing stock price after the announcement of the DLC!

“… If so, what should I do specifically?”

“It’s simple. So, we, the sword lord… I want you to measure how far the demon king’s limits are.”

“Limits?”

At Eugene’s words, the general director sighed heavily and spoke.

“… Of the beta testers who have played the DLC so far, few have done meaningful damage to the demon king. Because of that, our production team has hardly been able to grasp the specific specifications or limitations of the demon king.”

“…..”

At the words of the general director, Eugene looks at the surroundings with an absurd expression.

No, how many beta testers are gathered here, but does it make sense that no one has caught the Demon King? Really?

“Ah, but Ekklesia-sama was the only one who fought the Demon King on an equal footing. He even blew off the demon king’s left arm with his magic bullet.”

“… Then what do you do? In the end, it’s no different that I was defeated like everyone else.”

Ekklesia muttered that in a really ridiculous tone.

“I know best that Soma is like a monster, but… this is a bit too much It’s not Soma-sama herself, and even a minor copy made using battle data is so strong.”

“… Hmm.”

“Please, please. I don’t think I’ll be able to get my anger out until I see that dog-like bastard get beaten up by Soma-sama.”

“… Yes what I will.”

At Ekklesia’s words, Eugene nodded his head with a trembling expression.

What is it? It seems like you’re swearing at someone else, but this strange feeling of being swearing at yourself.

So, Eugene accessed Nightfall’s DLC, and she soon realized that she was standing in Arkham, a city full of dark and gloomy atmosphere.

“… Hmm? What else is this? I must have been sitting in the corner of the cabin, but when I came to my senses, I was summoned to a place like this… “

And on his shoulder, YuRia, in the form of a cute doll, was looking around her, frowning.

“No, now that I see it, my body has also returned to being a puppet from the past. Also, seeing that Arkham, whom we saved, is also immersed in darkness again… It seems that we have moved to a time in the past, somewhere like a parallel world. “Isn’t that right, Master?”

Yuria quickly figured out the situation she was returning to with a calm expression.

“Hmm… well, it’s roughly the same. But you don’t seem very surprised by this situation, do you?”

“Arkham is a city that has been encroached on by demons because of the ‘ruler’. That’s why I’ve heard that this kind of thing happens quite often as there is a lot of magical power in the whole city.”

Yuria, who answered in such a casual manner, smiled on her lips as if she had suddenly come up with something interesting.

“Well, there is no need to worry too much. This is only a temporary phenomenon, and if certain conditions are met, we will be able to go back to the original time.”

It seemed certain that the ‘condition’ that Yuria was talking about would be to defeat the demon lord who existed somewhere in this city.

“There’s no way the owner who defeated even the evil spirits couldn’t fulfill that one condition, so what should I worry about? Since it’s happened like this, it’s as if we’re dating just the two of us. Of course, the mood is a bit lacking.”

In Yuria’s voice, which did not contain any tension, her absolute trust in Eugene resided.

“Then let’s go over there. Judging by the strong magic power over there, we should be able to find a clue to solve the case.”

Eugene moved her steps in the direction Yuria pointed.

How long did it take?

Eugene suddenly realized that someone was blocking her path.

She is carrying her doll on her shoulder like Eugene, and at the same time holding a blackened sword.

Although she couldn’t see her face because she was wearing her hood, Eugene immediately realized who that person was.

‘The Demon King.’

Perhaps that person is the boss monster created with his battle data, and at the same time, he is the one who made him access the DLC after annihilating all the beta testers.

“…Who is that? That one? Judging by the demonic energy emanating from the body, it looks like trash that has been tricked by the ‘ruler’.”

As Yuria clicks her tongue and murmurs, the dreamy image of ‘Yuria’ on the other side of her brow comes into her eyes.

“…Trash? A b*tch who doesn’t know anything about the truth is living with only his mouth. To say such a thing without knowing what kind of resolution my master has received and how he received demonic energy…”

“I don’t need to know, and I don’t want to know. At least, it must be a trivial reason. Those who have accepted demons in the first place use such nonsensical reasons as excuses.”

Saying that, YuRia looked at ‘Yuria’ on the other side of her and slightly lifted the corner of her mouth.

“It’s embarrassing to be such a puppet. If it were me, I’d rather kill myself than serve such a garbage hunter as my master.”

“…Ha, that’s what I want to say. Seeing as you have a doll with a rag in its mouth, that hunter must be of the same tribe as you.”

As he watched YuRia and ‘Yuria’ squabble over each other, for some reason, Yujin felt that her head was hurting.

Just as Eugene was trying to stop that pointless argument, the ‘Demon King’, who had been quiet until now, suddenly opened her mouth.

[Are you a hunter who came to this city? I can’t understand. This world is already half ruined, but the fact that hunters of unknown origin are visiting this city one after another… ]

“…..”

[I see… Apparently, you came here to fight me. Then… Did you come here aiming for the power of the devil that I possess?]

Muttering so, the demon king slowly raised the black-stained sword toward Eugene.

[However, you can’t beat me. Do you know this The fact that no one was standing in the sky from the beginning. You, me, and God… ]

At the line that the demon king is so familiar with, Eugene’s expression twists.

[The unbearable void in the sky is now over. Because I, in the sky-]

“Hey.”

And at that time, Eugene, who could not stand it anymore, approached the demon king.

“That line in my voice, never say it again.”

With nothing to look at, I hit the demon king’s snout.

“I’m going to die of shame. You bastard.”

Eugene felt very resentful of the general director who made ‘The Demon King’ say such lines.
