9 Nine, settle for a former friend.

"I'll tell you first. My power is to inflict fixed damage on subjects within the range of effects."

"Fixed... Damage...?

Liot can't seem to get up while he's hanging around.

"The damage figure is' 9999 '. Did you have the Sealed Devil's Crest? I know it's the highest level of protective treasure, but it's gone."

Indeed, the "Sealed Demon's Crest" has an effect range of 20 meters.

I guess my skill effects touched within that range and did damage to the talisman.

"Ugh, it's a lie, such skills...... I've never heard of it"

"Your treasure broken is proof."

I chilled out to the frightening Liot.

"Ugh..."

"I'll say it again. The damage figure is' 9999 '. As soon as I'm within my skill range, that's all the damage I'm gonna do to you."

"Ugh..."

Liot's face is pale.

A brave and resolute warrior of the party, challenging even hundreds of demons to battle alone.

Is this what the great hero Liot, so honored, is also like before the power of absolute 'death'?

Can you taste the fear and despair I had that day, Liot?

Dark joy gushed from the core of my heart.

"Can a great warrior, Liot, who is part of a brave party, bear it?

"Mm, don't be impotent! Even 9999 is a Demon King executive class, though you would be dying if you were bad! Die! Absolutely die......!

"Well, when you're within range, it's your end of the line."

I walk unconsciously.

"One step at a time. Fear every step I take, Liot. Cry. Scream."

"Hey, don't..."

"Just like me that day, taste despair."

"Fuck, don't come... don't come!

Liot lagged behind in desperate shape.

He's losing his hips, in such a weak foothold that he doesn't think he's a warring warrior.

"You guys, what are you doing! Shoot him with an arrow!

And I command the soldiers behind me.

"Protect the Duke!

The guards caught an arrow on the bow.

Countless arrows pour down like rain.

Shea, don't leave me.

I told the girl on the other side.

"If you leave, you'll die."

"Yes, sir"

Grab my sleeve, Shea.

Shortly afterwards, a group of arrows came at me and...

Everything, vanished.

"Is...!?"

Liot glanced at him.

"I thought I told you. My skill is," Deal fixed damage to all objects in the range of effects. "

I say arrogant.

"The 'subject' is not just human. Everything that tries to hurt me - arrows, magic, but the same. Well, an arrow that can withstand 9999 damage, if anything exists, or maybe it can hurt me."

"Damn, you guys, kill him directly! Whatever you want, protect me!

Liot exclaimed.

"So, but..."

"So, because if we get close, we'll definitely die..."

but the guards seem hesitant.

If you look at the offense so far, it would be natural.

Once you're within the effects of my skills, you're sure to lose your life.

"Ugh..."

The guards retreated with a blue face.

"You guys......!

"Liot, apparently no one has ever sworn allegiance to you on death row."

I go further.

I checked the distance figures from the subject, floating at the edge of my vision.

The number floating was' 18 '.

Is the effect range in eight meters?

I'm not serious about letting Liot die instantly.

I'll make you suffer with twitching, fear and despair.

The remaining distance is seventeen meters.

I walk slowly.

"What do we do, Liot? You want to stand up to me like a warrior?

"Yes, I don't like it... I defeated the Demon King because of it, no status, no honor, no wealth... all, get it... so sad... I don't like it..."

Liot shakes her neck left and right as she trembles.

Sixteen meters left.

"Ha, help me... help me...!

Liot crawled onto the spot.

Rub your forehead on the ground and apologize.

"Forgive me! Yes, no, forgive me, Master Chrome!

"Beg for your life, huh?"

Fifteen meters left.

I'm going to jam the distance with Liot.

It was on purpose not to go to him in one breath.

My step by step counts down to death for him.

I must be plenty reminded in the meantime.

You betray your trust - you've committed the most heinous crime in the world, to him.

"I've always thought of you as one of us."

Fourteen meters left.

"Chromium......"

"I thought you were my friend"

Thirteen meters left.

"I thought it was important. Even in exchange for my life, I want to protect you and your people. The Demon King crusade for me was, after all, motive."

Describe the thoughts you once had.

Self-restraint.

"Saving the world, what an honest story not to come to pin. But if you mean to protect your close associates, I can understand that. So I could fight. No matter how mighty the demon clan is against them, it has gained courage."

Twelve meters left.

"But I was trampled."

The chewed lips tear and the blood spills out.

Hot pain runs, but it didn't matter.

"All the thoughts I cherished most... were lost that day. I'm empty."

Eleven meters left.

"Ma, wait! Oh, yeah, I disagreed! I can't do that to you, my lifelong friend! But Euno and the others forced it... it wasn't my intention! And believe me...!

Liot screamed in a frightened voice.

"Now you are. There's no way that's going to make sense."

Me mocking.

Come on, now - we're just a few minutes away from being within the range of effects.

"After you dumped me, I thought I was going to die like this. But it's not over yet, something in me was screaming. If we don't settle..."

I look down on Liot.

"Ha, ha, help...... nozzle and guzzle......!

He must have realized that if I packed a meter away, he'd die.

I pleaded with tears and sneezing my face.

My groin is wet and I have hot air.

Have you lost much of your fear?

No more admiration, no more fighting spirit, nothing.

No, maybe... maybe he didn't have that thing with him from the beginning.

Now, given the appearance of the self-depraved 'Duke of Liot' full of desire, I'm sure that was his nature.

The brave, ringing warrior of the party, Liot, is the end of the line.

"Hey, hey, you were one of us... that was, yeah, crazy! The devil gave it to me! HELP me... HELP me. YEAH...!

─ ─ That day, words thrown at me by my buddies cross my brain.

"We've all made up our minds."

"To Strengthen the Brave"

"You're the one who's gonna make the sacrifice."

"Nobody wants to die."

"It's okay, she'll make me happy"

'I'm sorry, Chrome. I'll never forget you.'

I took a step forward.

Fifty centimeters left.

Just one more step.

"I thought I was one of them."

I stared at Liot once more.

Former companion.

A former friend.

But now.

That's why now...

"I'm not here anymore"

Step out.

Reached within the range of effects.

"Liot, who was one of mine, was... crude, but kind with companionship, that liot."

"Gu, gi, aahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!

Liot that raises the bloodshed with screaming and eventually disappears.

"Nowhere else"

And then my revenge - that first step is over.
