55 – Nightfall DLC – Descent of the Demon King (3)

When Eugene first played Nightfall, he was able to enter the hidden route by defeating Ariandel in the tutorial.

And after entering the hidden route, after meeting all the conditions, I was able to succeed in seeing the true ending of Nightfall.

However, if you think about it backwards, it would mean that if Eugene had made the slightest wrong choice or suffered defeat in just one battle, he would never have seen the true ending.

So, right here, we can make an assumption of ‘what if’.

What if Eugene hadn’t caught Ariandel in the tutorial?

What if Eugene had borrowed the power of magic books such as the Book of Nine Castle or the Book of Resilience to gain stronger power?

What if Eugene ended up being defeated by the evil god in the final battle?

In this way, the existence of the production team’s IF-like delusion could be said to be the final boss of the DLC, the Demon King.

Eugene in a world where the concept design failed to reach the true ending and became frustrated in the middle.

And specifically, the setting that the shadow of ‘Eugene in the failed world’ merged into the ‘Demon King’ in the singularity that suddenly appeared in Arkham!

That’s why Eugene actually had a lot of expectations while accessing the DLC.

If it was a boss monster created using his own battle data, what kind of skills would it have?

And now, the demon king in front of Eugene’s eyes was not perfect, but it could be said that he could somehow attract his interest.

‘This guy is crude, but he’s using his will.’

That’s right.

Even if Eugene thought about it, it was really absurd, but the demon king in front of him was using his will.

In addition, ‘The Demon King’ was able to use one of Eugene’s abilities, ‘Battle Foreknowledge’, even for a moment, by using his will.

A fraudulent ability to grasp the opponent’s movements one step ahead and respond to them, which Eugene acquired from countless practical battle experiences!

Although being able to use intention is enough of a foul, isn’t that an existence that can use ‘combat foreknowledge’ and predict all of the enemy’s attacks?

Even though it was created using Eugene’s battle data, it was completely unexpected that even Eugene himself would be able to copy his abilities, albeit imperfectly.

However.

“That’s crude.”

Kaaang-!

[Keuuugh!]

The same holy sword and the traces of the same sword intersect.

Physically, Eugene’s blow and ‘Demon King”s blow are identical.

However, whenever the two clashed repeatedly, it was none other than the ‘Demon King’ who accumulated damage unilaterally.

From noble mtl dot com

“It’s full of loopholes.”

Yujin swung the sword in a tone that didn’t feel the slightest bit of tension.

The demon king predicted the attack through ‘combat prediction’, but Eugene’s sword penetrates his defense like a piece of paper.

[This, what the hell-]

At the last moment, the demon king twisted his body and succeeded in dodging Eugene’s attack.

… No, the demon king did not avoid Eugene’s attack.

It’s just that Eugene swung his sword so that the demon king could dodge his sword.

Because the demon king himself was well aware of that fact, his face was distorted.

[Bastard… ! Were you playing with me? !]

After the demon king predicted Eugene’s movements through ‘Battle Prediction’, he slashed hard at Eugene with his blackened holy sword full of will.

“It’s useless.”

Kaaang-!

The blow he exerted all his strength was also blocked by Eugene as if it were natural.

[Lee, Gun-]

I don’t understand.

Even though it was the same sword and the same blow, something on a different level existed between the two.

“Are you even thinking that my attack is equal to yours? You are still very immature in the use of will. No matter how much intention is the power to materialize one’s own image, various restrictions apply the moment it is applied in reality.”

It was like a teacher teaching a student something, so the demon king couldn’t help but feel upset.

[What are you talking about, what the hell do you know!]

At last, the enraged demon king takes out the trump card he was hiding.

Yam Demon Sword(斬魔劍)

New Moon!

“Whoa.”

And seeing that, Eugene put on a very interesting expression.

No matter how much you collect battle data with Eugene’s permission, you’re even reproducing the herbivorous diet of a sword that you haven’t used a few times so far?

The light of the half moon is scattered towards Eugene.

Sakwol is an attack that is so powerful that it splits the body of the ‘one who looks at the stars’ in half.

If you get hit by that attack, even Eugene will suffer huge damage!

But.

“I told you. It’s crude.”

Kwajik-!

With a single blow that Eugene swung casually, the moon that the demon king swung was shattered.

No, even that was not enough, and even the black-stained sword the demon king held in his hand was broken and destroyed.

Puffed up.

In the end, the Demon King could not withstand Eugene’s blow and was thrown off the ground.

The shock caused the hood he was wearing to come off, exposing his bare face.

“Ha…? No way?”

And embarrassment leaked out of Yuria’s mouth when she witnessed that bare face.

And Eugene twisted his eyebrows.

Yeah, that’s the only way to do it.

Because the face hidden under the hood was identical to Eugene’s.

… No, in fact, it might be a bit absurd to say that they are the same.

Silver hair and red eyes that are completely different from Eugene’s black hair.

The mark of degrading to an apostle of the ‘ruler’ was engraved on his cheek, and a black aura reminiscent of demons was leaking out of his whole body.

It was indeed a classic cliché of depravity, and at the same time, it was the main culprit that caused Eugene’s limbs to shrivel.

‘f*ck.’

If I had known in advance that I would be witnessing something like this, I wouldn’t have signed a contract to make a boss monster with my battle data!

At the time Yujin was spitting out lamentations, Yuria’s face changed in a strange way.

“This is… not bad.”

“What?”

“No, it’s not too bad. It’s very good. I really like it.”

“…..”

But now was not the time to discuss Yuria’s hidden tastes.

Because ‘Demon King’ and ‘Yuria’ were still looking at him with hard-hearted eyes as if they hadn’t given up on anything.

[Kuhuhh… Also ‘me’. I never thought there would be such an overwhelming level difference. Indeed, in order to defeat the evil spirits, do we have to go this far… ]

“So, is this over? Anything else to show you?”

I wanted to kill him right now, but unfortunately, I couldn’t because the general director asked me to ‘bring out the limits of the demon king’.

[No… The number of spleen remains. But… I didn’t want to write it that way. Because the more I used that method, the more I felt like I was falling into a demon… ]

“…..”

[But I can’t give up here… I didn’t accept demons in order to be defeated in a situation like this… !]

From the body of the ‘Demon King’ who said that, incomparable demonic energy began to flow out.

And at the same time, the form of the ‘Demon Lord’, which had maintained its human form until now, suddenly begins to change!

But it was then.

Yam Demon Sword (斬魔劍) Undo (抜刀)

Muwolunyo (無月雲燿)!

Quaaang-!

Aiming at the demon king who was in the midst of transformation, Eugene pierced his heart with the fastest technique he knew.

[Kuaaah-!]

And maybe it was because his heart was pierced by surprise during the transformation, the ‘Demon King’ was finally annihilated without even a meager counterattack.

“…Uh, is it okay? You asked me if I had anything more to show you, and suddenly attacked the opponent who was really trying to show me something…”

Even YuRia muttered that Eugene’s actions were absurd, but he threw a question at Yuria with a hard expression.

“Did you see it?”

“…Yes? Did you see it?”

“You know that guy. Did you see him trying to transform?”

Yuria shakes her head left and right at Yujin’s serious expression.

“No, I didn’t see it. Master killed him so quickly that I couldn’t really see what was what.”

At YuRia’s answer, Yujin let out a sigh of relief.

‘It’s fortunate.’

At least in front of YuRia, I didn’t want to show the ‘Demon King’ transforming into that kind of image.

I knew very well that the corrupted Eugene was the concept of the demon king, but who would have imagined that the production team would put something like that in a 2-phase pattern!

‘f*ck… Somehow, I should have noticed from the time I paid too much down payment… ‘

Eugene closed his eyes tightly in the sense of despair welling up in his heart.

No matter how much you think about it, starting from phase 2, he wears a mask that only half covers his face, and black wings sprouting from his back crosses the line a lot.

That’s great too.
