Episode 165 52. Oasis (2)

3.

Charon searched for memories from his past life.

The Queen of the Nightmares was considered one of the strongest among the Laziness’ retinue.

The Mongma are the beings with the worst fighting power among the demons. They have virtually no military power of their own. In the first place, the Mongma tribe were low-level beings who preyed on the dreams of mortals.

But this woman in front of me is different.

The one who rules over all dreamers.

A disruptor who blurs the line between dreams and reality.

Although I couldn’t see it properly four years ago because I was weaker than I am now, I can see it now.

“You don’t look surprised?”

The queen of the dreamers, Laia, spoke to Charon in a snorting tone.

Her wings, covered with black feathers, moved slowly.

Dark brown hair, and those eerie, shining purple eyes.

If someone else had seen it, they might have described it as breathtakingly beautiful.

Her appearance was like that of a fallen angel from the Bible.

The only clue to her identity is the small horns protruding from her head.

Slurp.

Black petals flutter in the bedroom.

Each and every petal was imbued with powerful black magic.

“Huh. How did that guy know it was my toy?”

“It’s like when I see you and I start vomiting. Do I really need to tell you that?”

“You woke up the crown prince. It must have been difficult even with the power of a saint… … .”

Laia looked at the sword Charon was holding with a smile.

“Is it the power of the guillotine? I am so glad that you seem to be handling it much better than four years ago. I was going to wait carefully across the North Sea, but the King has given me a troublesome task. What can I do as a subject? I have to do as I am told.”

Laia, who had been floating in the air, landed lightly on the ground.

After a while.

Sarrurururuk-!

As she put her hands together, black petals gathered into her hands.

The petals soon change into black roses.

Laia gently held a bouquet of dozens of black roses in both hands and approached Caron with a slightly red face.

“This is my gift. Humans love flowers… … .”

That was when.

Crunch-!

Charon swung the guillotine without hesitation.

The waves extending from Charon’s sword were condensed to resemble thin lines.

The line gently parted Leia’s body along with the bouquet.

“Every time I see you, you break me in half. If you keep doing this, I’ll get mad.”

The body was cut cleanly in two, but no blood gushed out. Only flower petals were scattered.

It was natural.

“When on earth are you going to come to the main body? I’m sick of it already.”

Even that appearance was nothing more than an illusion.

But even illusions are dangerous.

Unlike other dreamers, Laia, that disgusting being, had the power to make illusions real.

To Charon’s words, Laia answered with only her upper body on the floor.

“You want to face my body? I didn’t know you thought of me that much. But that’s going too fast. Our cute baby wolf isn’t ready to face my body yet.”

“You’re talking nonsense. You’re a sleepyhead who sucks your energy, but you’re still alive with your mouth.”

Charon strode over to her and kicked her head with his foot.

Kwajik-!

Even the unpleasant sensation of crushing your head on an imaginary topic is realized.

As Charon crushed her head, Laia’s body split in half and scattered into flower petals.

And after a while, it appeared again behind Charon.

“Still, I’ll praise you. You’ve grown so well that you can’t even get a small wound on your body like this.”

Lia licked her lips with her tongue.

Woooooooooo-!

The flower petals she had secretly scattered were completely suppressed by the sea flowing out of Charon’s body.

At that sight, a deep desire appeared in Laia’s eyes.

He is a person who is fun to watch.

Especially the genuine murderous intent flowing from those eyes.

Even she herself could not help but admire the immense murderous intent, and her whole body trembled.

‘I want to have it.’

I can’t believe that this is human murder.

How can someone who has lived for 17 years, which is not even a handful of years compared to the long life of a demon, have such murderous intent?

I wanted to eat the young man in front of me right away.

I wanted to drag him into an endless dream and lick up that murderous intent to my heart’s content.

But she barely suppressed her impulse.

She is a person the King is keeping an eye on. If this person grows up and crosses the North Sea, she will definitely have a chance.

This is my chance to catch and eat that precious human.

“I came because the King told me to tell you something.”

The role given to her is that of a messenger.

I just relay the message the King tells me to relay.

Laia whispered in a lewd voice to Charon, who was looking at her as if he was going to kill her.

“The King has prepared a gift for you. I don’t know why it’s your gift, but… … The King said you would know better.”

Why does that sound like a trap?

Caron’s face was completely wrinkled.

gift.

There is no way the king would have really sent a gift as a gesture of friendship. Besides, the ‘king’ she speaks of is clearly the Demon King of Sloth.

“It wasn’t a coincidence.”

Crunch-!

Charon muttered as he cut Laia’s body in half once more.

The ‘water source’ of the oasis needed to save the world tree.

Why did the demons extend their hand here of all places?

It’s too artificial to be a coincidence.

“Unfortunately, it’s not me you have to fight today. But don’t be too disappointed. I’m sure it’ll be a fight you’ll be satisfied with.”

Leia flicked her fingers lightly.

Then, flower petals gathered in the air and soon transformed into something.

A helmet covered in rust. It looked unusually large compared to other helmets, perhaps because its original owner had a large head.

Caron’s face hardened coldly when he saw the helmet.

Because I remembered who owned that helmet.

“… … That’s the gift the Demon King of Sloth has prepared for me?”

Lyra felt the endless hostility writhing within Charon’s body.

It was as the king said.

A bitter smile appeared on her lips.

“The Oasis Altar. The owner of this helmet is waiting for you there. I just came back to take a quick look at the situation, and I’m sure he won’t last long.”

Thousands of flower petals covered her body.

Among the flower petals that filled the bedroom, Laia whispered softly to Charon.

“Should I hurry?”

To those words, Caron answered in a low voice.

“Didn’t I tell you then? Don’t rush me.”

“It’s always thrilling to see you angry… … .”

Kwaaaaaaaah-!

Laia’s black petals were swept away without a trace by the sea of ​​Charon.

Phew.

Charon plunged his sword into Aslan’s abdomen as he lay on the ground, and through the guillotine, he completely destroyed the contract Aslan had made with Laia.

“Keuh-euh-euh-euh.”

Aslan vomited blood roughly, but Charon looked down at him with cold eyes.

“See you later.”

I put off taking care of this idiot until after everything was over. This piece of trash wasn’t what mattered right now.

“But it’s a toy I love, so handle it gently. That guy’s jealousy was so delicious!”

As the contract was forcibly broken, Leia’s figure began to disperse at a rapid pace.

Laia looked at Charon’s face until the last moment and said.

“Then I will wait at the oasis. I am so curious to see your expression when you face it. Please satisfy me.”

With those words, Leia disappeared again.

Charon let out a deep breath, glaring at the spot where she had disappeared.

Ali Oasis.

The guys invited themselves there.

There was no reason to decline the invitation.

4.

Ten minutes after that.

As you head towards Ali Oasis.

Three men and women were running at full speed above.

‘… …Your expression is not good.’

Nadia, the guardian of the palace, ran forward and secretly observed Charon’s expression.

Even when I saw him during the day, I couldn’t find even a hint of seriousness in him.

But now, Caron’s expression was so stiff.

I can feel the sincere murderous intent.

Not just murderous intent, but also hostility, hatred, etc.

Emotions so thick and dark that they were impossible to measure were swirling around in Caron.

“Keep your cool, Caron Reston.”

Nadia gave advice to Caron in a quiet voice.

Then Charon nodded slightly.

“Thank you for the advice, Sir Nadia.”

“When your composure is broken, mistakes are bound to happen. Keep your heart warm, but your head cold.”

“… … That’s the advice Sabina often gave me.”

“We must not forget our goal. To purify the altar of the oasis, that is all.”

Nadia reminded Charon once again of the purpose of this mission.

The operation has already begun.

The moment Charon subdued the second prince, Aslan, the crown prince had already started to move around quickly.

The powerful nobles who have fallen to Aslan are being personally persuaded by the crown prince.

The most important thing in this situation is to obtain evidence from the altar in the oasis that Aslan is said to have polluted.

That is why the Sultan was willing to give Nadia to Charon.

Nadia is a knight who has reached the peak of 8 stars.

She would definitely be the most reliable support in this situation.

“The oasis starts here.”

They were finally able to reach the oasis.

Unlike the barren desert, this is a place where all kinds of plants grow.

Nadia took a small necklace out of her bosom, and a crack appeared in the barrier surrounding the oasis.

“Go in, my lady. It’s not that far from here to the altar. I don’t know what dangers may be lurking, so I’ll let you down for now.”

She put down Seria, who she was carrying on her back.

“Thank you, Sir Nadia.”

According to the crown prince, the altar was already contaminated with black magic.

That was already two months ago.

The reason I brought the saint was to completely erase all traces of black magic.

Because divine power was essential to purify the land.

“The entire oasis has been covered in black magic. What on earth did the Sultanate’s royal family do to make it this bad?”

Traces of black magic contamination have been observed throughout the oasis.

Nadia sighed softly in response to the saint’s reprimand.

“Until last week, there was nothing unusual, Your Majesty.”

“That can’t be… … .”

Just then, Charon walked forward and said.

“It is possible if you cover it with illusions. However, there is a condition that you must be able to create illusions that can fool even the senses of an 8-star knight.”

“There is only one person among the Demon Race who possesses such power… … Ah.”

Seria realized something and asked Charon with a serious expression.

“Is she the queen of dreamers?”

“Second Prince Aslan made a contract with her. He is the cause of everything that has happened in the royal palace.”

At first glance, it looks similar to the empire from 50 years ago.

The only difference from that time was that the evil emperor made a contract with the Demon King, while Aslan made a contract with only the limbs of sloth.

“Sir Nadia. Let’s go straight to the altar.”

Charon urged Nadia in a firm voice. Nadia nodded.

“It’s right in front. The altar is in the royal tomb.”

An oasis dyed in a murky color.

At the center of the oasis stood a magnificent building.

A statue of someone holding a shield guarded the entrance to the oasis.

They went straight past the statue and into the entrance.

And at that moment.

-It’s terrible.

A terrifyingly thick black magic began to press upon my entire body.

It was a level of black magic that rivaled that of the Chaos Gate scene last time.

Charon had no choice but to draw his guillotine as the black magic suffocated him.

“When this is over, Aslan, that bastard, will be eaten alive. Sir Nadia. Do you agree?”

I couldn’t even guess how many lives had been sacrificed.

Nadia couldn’t bring herself to answer Charon’s words.

Because she too realized that this black magic originated from the lives of innocent people.

Crunch. Crunch.

So, they entered the tomb fully prepared and arrived at a huge cavity.

The interior of the cave was bright due to the luminous stones embedded in the ceiling.

Thanks to that, the figure of the Death Knight standing in the middle of the crowd came into view at a glance.

A death knight with a gigantic physique reminiscent of Utula.

The Death Knight, who had been kneeling on the floor, stood up silently as soon as he discovered Charon and his party.

“Caron Reston. I will handle that, so you hurry up and cleanse the altar with the saint… .”

Nadia spoke as she drew her thin sword, but Charon shook his head slowly.

“That’s my part.”

“You might not be able to handle it right now. That’s a Death Knight made from an 8-star knight. It’s too dangerous.”

“… … Sir Nadia. Please.”

The tip of his voice trembles.

Nadia quietly studied Charon’s face.

Although he was barely able to suppress his emotions, his expression looked somewhat determined.

That’s why she made a quick decision.

“Then just hold on. I will take the saint and purify the altar, then join you.”

“All right.”

“I wish you good luck.”

Nadia moved quickly with the saintess, and Charon turned his head towards the Death Knight with a forced smile.

“… … That fucking idiot.”

Was it thanks to Kerua that he was still alive and well?

I vaguely thought that the other two were also living well.

But now I realize how naive that thought was.

“Why are you standing there like that?”

The mark of the Imperial Guard engraved on the Death Knight’s armor.

A body as big as a house and an unusually large head.

“Are you protesting because I came too late?”

Ki-ki-ki-ki.

The sound of armor clashing against armor echoed from the Death Knight’s body, and the Death Knight soon aimed his massive bastard sword at Charon.

Charon slowly called out the name of the Death Knight.

“Ugo.”

Ugo Aegis.

A stupid subordinate who didn’t leave the palace until the very last moment.

That guy who was once so pathetically honest was now standing in front of me as a Death Knight.

There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
