Chapter 434

Quantum mazes can be broken through. However, it is unknown whether Arkritchee and Antilia Nus can enter Akasha after breaking through the quantum maze. The important thing is that they had no intention of letting them reach the entrance of Akasha. I have no confidence in whether I can even compete with the archmage. However, what's important is Alsvringur, which makes me stronger as my opponent gets stronger, and Tiamata, the relic optimized for undead battles, along with the assistance of Eleris. Through that, I will overcome two obstacles and reach the end of this story. The gate incident will not happen, and the demon king will disappear quietly. I will spend the remaining time under the name of Reinhardt, eliminating the seeds of chaos scattered throughout the empire and the continent. I will find peace of mind through world peace. I still don't know how to resolve the many twisted relationships and lies, but I believe that somehow it will work out. I need to think more about whether to tell the truth to those who feel betrayed by the truth and how to say it. In the end, I realized that doing nothing was the best, so now I hope everything will converge into peace as I clean up what I have done. -Deokguk. So Eleris and I opened the door to Akasha. A long, long corridor. Someone was standing in the middle of the quantum maze. As if waiting. "You've already come, great being." The old vampire smiled at me with a skull in his right hand. "It seems like you already know everything..." Like we didn't know about Akasha, Antilia Nus seemed to have learned about Akasha now. But first, the skull in Antilia Nus's right hand. I narrowed my eyes at it. "Antilia Nus, what is that?" "Ah, are you talking about this..." Antilia Nus threw it towards me. It felt like rolling rather than attacking. -Degurrrr. "Do you know if it was Arkritchee?" The skull that rolled up to my ankle. "It was the remains of Kantus Magna, the leader of the remnants we were looking for. Lukren's skull." It turned to dust and disappeared when it touched my ankle. The skull that turned into black powder didn't look ordinary. "Antilia Nus, what do you want?" The voice of Eleris mixed with hostility. The fanatic shook his head. "Unfortunately, everyone in the council... misunderstands me too much. Of course, I understand, but..." "..." "There's nothing like that." The intention was still unclear in the fanatic's smile. "If there is, didn't I tell you before?" "Pleasure." "I am fully prepared to enjoy both your success and failure, so I will cooperate with you completely." "In that situation, I only did it because I had to lift Lukren's hand to find out what Akasha was and where it was. I had no intention of betraying you."

"So I found out what Akasha was and got rid of Lukren, who was useless."

"So I came here to confirm the location of Akasha. I have no interest in the trivial matter of becoming a god."

Antilia Nus looked at me and Eleris with a sly smile.

Fun.

Is that the only reason he's cooperating with me, to have powerful artifacts like Akasha? Unbelievable. But Antilia Nus smiled as if there were no lies.

"I think the world is interesting because it is unpredictable."

"In my world, where I can control everything and everything goes as predicted, what interest or fun would I find?"

"Becoming a god in some world is just a child's sandcastle game that has grown a little bigger."

"Oh great being."

"I like stories where a desperate child is crying and despairing to protect a sandcastle he has built with great effort, and in the end, he succeeds or fails and sinks into the despairing sea."

"I want to see stories that are unpredictable but enjoyable just by watching."

"But I can't stand the skull that has fallen into the delusion of becoming a god and is trying to take over Akasha."

"I hope you will take Akasha."

"You don't seem to be willing to give in to the desire to become a god. You seem to love more human, more emotional, and more trivial things."

"I like stories that risk their lives for such trivial things."

"Oh great being."

"Tell me a story that is great enough to be happy or desperate."

Antilia Nus bowed his head to me.

Crazy guy.

That's all I could think of.

Did he help me find out what Akasha was and then wonder what I would do next? My despair too. My happiness too. It was a story that was sure to be interesting to watch.

I bit my lip, feeling dizzy as I watched Eleris' mixed but insane attitude towards Antilia Nus.

"You've gone crazy with boredom, Antilia Nus."

"Didn't I tell you before, Lady of Fire?"

Antilia Nus's vampire eyes gleamed ominously.

"I've lived for an insane amount of time, so how can I be sane?"

I've done everything I wanted and got everything I wanted.

Yet I didn't want to die, so I became a vampire, and I've been living for a long time since then.

That's why I now find pleasure in watching someone else's joy or despair, even without longing for it. "Of course, the screams and pleas Lukren made before he died were very entertaining for me. The death of an old undead who had not fulfilled his long-standing desire and had to face a meaningless death... just watching it gave me pleasure. Of course, I am not a person who is suited to the pleasure of executing it. As an old and aging monster, I am not fit to be the protagonist, you see. Anyway, Antilia Nus, do you believe that you will be on my side?" Through Antilia Nus, I teleported back to the wasteland. There was a clear problem of explaining how I returned to the wasteland after disappearing from the Lich's tomb. How should I ride my luck for deceiving everyone until now? Antilia Nus went towards the Lich's tomb to give a detailed report to the Vampire Council and the Black Order. "Are you okay? They must know that you are a traitor now." "I think it will be okay." With a sly smile, Antilia Nus disappeared into the shadows of the night. But when I walked out onto the streets of the wasteland, there was a sense of unease that was different from before. Everyone seemed to be looking at me, especially the guards at the temple gate who were watching me with suspicion and fear. Because of that unease, when I crossed the gate and turned around, I faced a strange sight. The guards had blocked my way and Berthus, with a face full of anger and confusion, was walking towards me. "I don't understand this situation at all. Why...is it you?" Berthus looked at me surrounded by numerous knights. Berthus gave a short command and people moved.

***

My arms were bound and my eyes were covered.

That wasn't all.

"He uses the power of the spirits, so don't let him talk nonsense and gag him."

I was speechless at Berthus' calm command.

The only fortunate thing was that the only thing taken from me was the Flame of Fury. I could still maintain the appearance of Reinhardt because the transparent Sarkagar ring was not taken away.

As it was a tool for concealment and disguise, the Dreadfend clan's armor could not be felt no matter how much they searched unless I took it out.

I was dragged away by the knights.

Something was wrong.

I don't know to what extent they suspected me. But Berthus knew something.

I had about 100,000 achievement points now, but I couldn't solve the situation by resigning.

A building in the temple, and a place that was presumed to be deep underground.

-Clang! Clang!

I could hear the sound of chains rattling.

And I could only know when the blindfold was removed.

It was impossible to dispel suspicion by resigning.

-Krrrr....

Like me, I could see a Lycanthrope with a gag in his mouth trapped behind bars.

Red fur?

No.

It was blood, and the original fur was white.

It was a white Lycanthrope covered in blood.

-Clang! Clang!

The chained Lycanthrope was writhing in madness with his eyes rolling, but the chains only tightened and did not break.

Royar.

And Manwol.

I couldn't know the specific situation, but I could understand it.

Royar was captured.

And Royar had revealed himself during the demon king's attack.

"Do you need more explanation?"

Berthus, who was standing next to me, asked in a cold tone.

Although I couldn't know how I got here, the result was clear.

I was in a state where it was certain that I was either a minion of the demon king or the demon king himself.

Still...

I use Resignation.

Even if they know I'm the demon king, they'll believe in me.

They'll believe in my intentions.

[This resignation cannot be performed.]

I was destined to kneel before the mountain of lies I had built up until now.

So, of course, it was impossible.
