Grand Duke of the Heibern House

＜episode 3＞

Is he a dragon?

It was Gyrobel’s conclusion that he finally came to after thinking about it.

It’s something that can’t be explained otherwise.

It wasn’t just his true name that he knew. It was clear that he had clearly penetrated even the circumstances of the demon realm.

To humans, the demon realm is a realm of unapproachable authority, terrifying fear, and the immeasurable unknown.

Some of the wise men, who were called the best in human history, were desperate to explore the underworld, but all they could experience was endless despair.

A feeble, feeble race that has only started to deal with mana less than ten thousand years ago.

It is also a mortal soul that only lives for a hundred years or so, and there is no way it can know the truth of the demon world, which is infinite itself.

What was even more embarrassing was that he knew the tangled story between himself and the distant ancestors of the Bernese.

The humiliating incident was a secret affair between himself, the only party involved, and the founder of the Bern family.

Not even in the human world, even in the demon world, there was no such thing as known.

so… … .

Is he really a dragon?

It could not be explained if it were not for them who were in charge of the human world under the protection of ‘beings’.

They are the watchers of the world.

Only those who have intervened in the providence with transcendental wisdom can penetrate the circumstances of the demon realm and human affairs.

But that didn’t make sense.

Its strong vitality was so dynamic that it was hard to believe that it was human.

The most dazzling prey in Berna’s history.

From the moment it was born, it was none other than himself that he had taken as his host.

I had observed his entire life, so if he had the spirit of a dragon or was an incarnation of it, I would have noticed right away and been wary.

“It’s not a dragon.”

Gyrobel was momentarily dazed.

It is to the point of being stunned by the man’s words as if he had looked into his own head.

-What, what are you talking about?

“Your logical approach is obvious. Originally, all those who believe that they are good are like that. When you face a situation that you cannot interpret on your own, you will find unreality. okay. Where do you see me as the incarnation of a dragon?”

-Everyone, shut up!

“Hmm.”

Ruin, who had been stretching to the fullest, checked his body with a dissatisfied gaze.

“If you’ve sucked that much life force to the bone marrow, you should properly restore it. what’s this? The withered tendons are intact, the muscles are twisted as they please… … Foot! did you drink?”

-dare! This f*cking bastard!

Gyrobel was completely bewildered.

What kind of playing house is it to bring back life?

life is providence

He sacrificed almost all of his mobilizable true magic power, risking massive blood loss to save him, but such ignorant nonsense!

Gyrobel’s voice, seething with anger, filled Ruin’s head again.

– Who the hell are you? speak! How can the devil… … No, do you mean you know everything about the devil you saw!

“Why do you think I would tell you?”

– I will absolutely tear your soul and body to shreds! This is confirmed by my true name, Gyrobel… … !

“Until there.”

Ruin’s face was as cold as ice.

“This is not the demon realm. At best, a guy who is nothing more than an Advent body tore the soul of a normal host who hasn’t weakened? Is this a new type of suicide?”

For a moment, Gyrobel shuddered.

It’s clear now.

His knowledge was not at the level of a bluff that only scratched the surface.

He was clearly penetrating the entire knowledge system of the Demon Realm.

“Besides, you’ve lost all of your true magic power, haven’t you? Don’t be bluffing saying that it will take a month to recover. Every time you fail because of that bluff, why can’t you fix it like that?”

Even after that, Ruin carefully poked at Gyrobel’s sore spot, and eventually the initiative passed to Ruin.

“I have no intention of telling you anything right now, so don’t fret and stay calm. It comes naturally when the time comes.”

Ruin knew from experience that the longer Gyrobel’s curiosity was maintained, the greater his profit would be.

Considering the high school students in the past who had been terribly afraid and suffered only from being beaten by him, this was just a small revenge.

Ruin still grinded his teeth thinking about that time.

Soon, the place where Ruin’s transparent pupils headed was the view inside the detention center.

A lonely lake in front of a small villa.

A garden full of bushes and plants that have not been tended for a long time and have grown in a mess.

This simple space, which seemed to have been abandoned casually, was as it was in bitter memories.

The harsh memories and sorrows he had endured while chewing were put into his field of vision as if digging into them.

food.

However, he was no longer the weak soul who stayed up all night in despair.

Fear of darkness.

The mighty name that only one person’s strength was comparable to the military power of a tolerable kingdom.

An awe-inspiring existence that gave countless fears and shocks to the continent.

The experience of living as a great mage, Ruin, and that repressive life remained intact with him.

‘ASAP.’

What had to be prioritized over restoring magic was to meet the comrades of this era as soon as possible.

‘He’ is an existence that cannot be stopped by a singular human being.

He had to guide the talents of his colleagues to grow into superhumans as early as possible, as well as raise the capabilities of the entire continent.

What’s disastrous is that even if you achieve all of that, you won’t have the certainty of victory.

“Whoa… … .”

His divine authority that wipes out hundreds or thousands of horses like worms.

No, it’s not just a rhetoric, he might really be a god.

But human life is more dazzling than God… … .

“Because it is desperate.”

Gods can be perfect, but they can’t be as desperate as humans.

Time.

Conquer the absoluteness that even the ‘existences’ contemplating the world have not been able to break down.

Returning to the past, standing here right now is the fierce proof.

Ruin did not doubt that the existence that would emerge victorious from the last stand would undoubtedly be a human being.

Afterwards, Ruin silently walked to the clearing in front of the garden and began to move.

Gyrobell was astonished as he checked the bizarre movements that looked like feats, not human martial arts.

-Yes, how are you!

Among the well-known training methods in the Demon Realm, the Demonic Gong competes for the top spot.

It is none other than the best demon body for handling true magic… … .

-How do you know about my Blood Jujutsu?

Bloodjumage is a vision that made the power of demons possible.

It was a treasure that he did not pass on to his blood relatives, let alone the magicians under his command.

“What’s so great about this?”

– What!

If leaked, it was the best vision in the Pandemonium that could lead to a Pandemonium War.

Then, blatantly stealing a great vision isn’t enough, and belittling it like trash!

But what preceded the anger was an intolerable doubt.

-How could this be… … .

Did you mean that even some of your memories were transferred while using him as a host?

However, if such a side effect existed, there was no way that he, who had passed through infinite time, could not have experienced it.

But in the spirit world, it’s not strange no matter what happens.

Even if this was the first case, it didn’t matter much.

Because he’s human.

-I don’t know how he stole it, but it’s really funny. you are mortal How can you contain infinite hatred with such an obscure mind? You will never be able to complete the blood lord’s thoughts.

“Uh, yes.”

Ruin didn’t care whether Gyrobel was talking or not, he just linked the movements.

-Hot ha! You’re just pretending! It is comfortable to learn the widely spread martial arts in the human world, but rather helps to improve physical strength… … hmm?

Woodeuk-

Samuchi puts the grudge in his mouth and chews it down.

The grudge that reached the end of the sky is captured in the lungs.

It vomits blood to recall the hatred, and tore apart the pitiful body to defy fear.

Tuk-tuk-

Wooddeuk-

Like a resurrected skeleton, Ruin’s entire body was grotesquely twisted.

Soon, red blood gushed from all his pores.

The first step to capturing true magic.

blood main body.

It was a path he had already passed through once and a power he had dealt with all his life, so it was a natural process for Ruin, like putting on his clothes again.

-… … .

Gyrobel’s spirit could no longer continue.

Undoubtedly, this is the most shocking moment in his near-infinite life.

The time it took for Ruin to turn his body into a vessel of true magic.

only ten minutes.

Even if there was, no, it was impossible.

Even after watching all of them, I couldn’t accept the unreal sight.

-Only human grudges… … !

Even with his own mighty spirit, a thought he had barely perfected by polishing his hatred for thousands of years.

No matter how colorful human emotions are, can they be deeper than the hatred of demons that have been forged through countless demon world wars, and their desperate hostility?

Even if it contained infinite hatred, it would go mad in no time.

It was unbelievable that the human’s weak mental system had withstood that distant hatred.

– Who the hell are you?

Gyrobel’s spirit was even more tense.

It wasn’t a scolding tone that only looked down on humans.

equivalent.

Before he knew it, he was treating Ruin as equal.

Ruin licked the thick blood covering his face with his tongue.

“Because I have no intention of telling you.”

-profit!

fear of darkness.

Great Mage Ruin.

A huge wall that no sage or superhuman on the continent could overcome.

What Gyrobel was facing was the true face of Ruin, who would have reigned as a divine being if it were not for ‘him’.

sssss-

Ruin’s blood slowly started to vaporize.

The dark red aura that started swirling around Ruin after flying like a haze was gradually absorbed into his body.

Gyrobel silently watched him.

It’s like seeing your past self.

Then, a question suddenly came to my mind.

Although it was barely made into a vessel, there was one thing that never existed in this human world.

True magic power.

A collection of dense powers that spread widely throughout the Demon Realm.

The purity and absoluteness of mana, and the difference in its quality, were incomparable to those of the human world.

Mana spread throughout the human world can never be completed, and even if it were possible, the weak lifespan of mortals would also be an obstacle.

“You might be curious about that too, right?”

Ruin, who had been laughing, raised a bloody haze again and drew a magic circle on the floor of the garden.

woo woo woo-

faded dust.

A pattern that gives a strange sense of incongruity somewhere.

A grotesque fighting spirit flowed from Gyrobel, who was sharing a field of view with Ruin.

– No way that’s it!

Jin of the strong demon!

It was a super-high-level magic circle that summoned the thoughts of transcendent beings in the demon realm.

Moreover, in order to activate the Strong Demon’s Jin without Jin Magic, half of a human’s lifespan had to be devoted.

– Who the hell!

“You already know everything about your bottom line. Besides, there are limits as a host.”

-So, what kind of guy are you trying to sign a contract with?

Ruin’s answer came out curtly.

“Balcasianious.”

-what… … ?

Ruin’s white teeth gleamed evenly.

“Great evil. Captain of you guys.”

Balcacciarias.

The strongest predator in the Demon Realm, called the primordial darkness.

-This, such a madman!

Shocked, Gyrobel struggled to get out of Ruin’s soul.

However, he had already exhausted all his powers and was unable to achieve his goal.
