The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

276 – Scene 276# Ordeal of Despair

*

Was it because he listened to Myohail’s warning? Even in the chaos of the floor collapsing, I did not lose my mind. Not only that, I was able to understand the approximate situation.

First of all, fortunately the castle floor did not collapse. The previous earthquake did not shake the castle, but the ‘space’ we were in itself.

I was able to notice this because I saw that the stone floor I was stepping on had shattered like glass.

The landscape surrounding us shattered into sharp fragments. Then, I was swallowed up by the subspace that opened on the floor. For example, a similar situation to when one was swallowed by Jormungand’s mouth.

I looked around. The place where it fell was not much different from the Margrave’s castle.

The interior of the castle with dark stone walls and a gloomy atmosphere. The long hallway is lit with torches, as if someone had turned them on. That wasn’t the only strange thing.

‘Door… ?’

The thing that filled this place was none other than the ‘door.’ There was no door on the walls, ceiling, or floor. From colorful doors that don’t match the dark surroundings to cute doors that look like a child’s room…

It was like a maze where you didn’t know which room it led to.

‘Hmm. This is my first time seeing a space like this…’

Miohail, who was disguised as Wendy’s hairpin, muttered in my head.

‘It’s like a barrier, but the magic is nowhere to be seen… But it’s not a trap… Strange, strange…’

‘Is there a way out?’

‘Hmm… I don’t know.’

‘I don’t know?’

‘That’s right. Let alone who created this place and with what intention, since we don’t know what kind of space this is, if you try to break it, you could be trapped forever.’

The situation doesn’t seem to be very good. But it’s a place that even Myohail doesn’t know much about…

No. It’s easy to not know. If my guess is correct, this is probably a ‘space of trials.’

-Count. Keep this in mind. The support of mine people is important, but what you should consider most important is despair. I believe that anyone who does not despair is not worthy of being a demon lord. So…

The words ‘ordeal of despair’ that appeared in the message window overlapped with the meaningful words Lucaella uttered at the end.

-Go and find your despair.

A ‘trial’ in which God tests his representative’s qualifications. Lucaella’s intention is to test whether or not he will recognize me as the Demon King.

At first, I thought it was because Wendy broke Fran Decker, but looking at Myoha-il’s reaction to her, she knew that this was definitely a place of trial.

But why… Are not only me, Myohail, Ariel, Luna, and Wendy here during the ordeal?

“Ugh…”

Luna was moaning softly in my arms.

It was good that I landed safely on the floor thanks to Myohail’s magic, but Wendy, Luna, and Ariel were all crushed and crushed, leaving me unconscious.

After waiting for a moment, Luna suddenly opened her eyes.

“… “Where?”

“I lost consciousness for a moment, but are you okay now?”

“Ah… Okay. Jim… Okay. Thanks to you, I survived.”

Luna seemed to be quite surprised as well and let out a sigh of relief. Well, the castle suddenly shook and the floor collapsed, and my heart must have been pounding. At times like this, I react like a normal girl.

“Urg?! What, what?!”

Only then did Luna realize that she was being held by me, so she quickly pushed me away and got up.

“How dare you touch with those dirty hands?!”

“I didn’t touch it.”

“It’s unclean!”

“… “I would have said I didn’t touch it.”

“Noisy! Even if you don’t touch it, it’s unclean!”

What does that mean…

Luna got up with her fuss and started dusting off her clothes. This is why it’s useless to treat her well.

“uuu… Count?”

Wendy, who was in my arms, also opened her eyes. After understanding the situation, she immediately started examining my body

“Gwae, are you okay?! Aren’t you hurt?!”

“I’m fine.”

“I’m glad… Sniff…”

Wendy to Luna Compared is no angel.

There’s something special about her, and she’s stroking Wendy’s head, but Luna is looking at her disapprovingly. She just wants to stop worrying about what other people do.

“Huh? Here is… ?”

We finally summarized the situation when Ariel, who had lost her mind, opened her eyes.

About the fact that we are trapped in this space made up of countless doors.

“Why don’t you open any door first?”

After looking around her, Luna gave a simple and clear answer. Okay. She even looks her best that way. No matter how you look at it, there doesn’t seem to be a separate exit.

Ariel also agreed with her opinion

“What you said is correct, Your Majesty. “There might be an exit beyond the door.”

We stood in front of the green wooden door that was closest to the random doors. But Luna, who was standing as if she was going to open the door, suddenly turned her head and glared at me.

“… What are you doing? “Are you telling me to open that dirty door just looking at my luggage?”

“…”

I wonder who she doesn’t suffer from myceliac disease…

I wanted to force the door to open, but I don’t have the time to do that right now.

I grabbed the doorknob in front of me and turned it.

Kiiiii…

A door opens with a sound. I thought it would be dark inside, but it wasn’t at all. In fact, it was brighter than where we were.

“Wow, it feels like I’ve been transported to a completely different space… ” .”

Wendy muttered in surprise. That’s because we could see bright sunlight pouring in through the window of the room we entered.

“… No matter how I look at it, I don’t think I resemble my older brother.”

“Huh?!”

Wendy started by a sudden voice. When we turned around, there were two men standing behind us who appeared from nowhere.

“No. So who are you saying you resemble? Answer correctly. “You b*stard.”

“I think you’re too handsome for a kid.”

What the two were looking into was a cradle. The two were laughing while looking at the newborn baby cooing there.

“So, how about saying that you resemble your sister-in-law?”

“Shut up. Men and horses. “You say he’s handsome, but what does it mean to say you look like him and not me?”

I caught a glimpse of the grumbling man’s face.

The calm indigo-colored hair, sunken eyes, and clean jawline gave a sharp impression.

The aura he gave off somehow resembled Bela Isaachel. To be precise, it had the smell of a seasoned prosecutor.

Who on earth is it?

Just as I was about to speak, I heard a voice that seemed lost.

“Nonsense…”

Ariel covered her mouth in shock and muttered to the man.

“Really… Is it you? Kyle… ?”

What? Is that Kyle?

Ariel rushed towards the man. To recapture the person he lost a long time ago.

But she hugged her she went astray.

No, it would be correct to say that I just passed. Ariel passed through Kyle’s body

The shock caused Ariel to fall on the spot. Anyway, Kyle was busy talking to the man next to her.

‘Take a good look. Count. This is an illusion.’

Myohail’s low voice was heard.

‘It looks like this room reflects events that happened in the past.’

There is definitely no way the dead Kyle is alive here. Just as we saw Tristan’s past through the previous trials, will this trial be a look at Kyle’s past his?

‘That man… Margrave Kyle…’

Kyle seemed like a very cheerful man when he was alive. He was a true father figure, smiling at his child in his cradle.

But Kyle says that, but who is the other man? From where I was standing, I couldn’t see his face clearly because it was obscured by his long hair. No… But I feel like I’ve seen that long hair down to my shoulders somewhere…

“I’m being serious. “How about you be my child’s godfather?”

“…Me?”

“Okay. Ariel and I both thought it would be nice for you to be our child’s godfather.”

“But… I am…”

The man seemed lost in thought for a moment at Kyle’s recommendation.

“… “If I become his godfather, there might be bad rumors about him.”

“Why?”

“You know too. I am… Our family…”

“It’s okay.”

At that moment, the man next to Kyle turned his head. When I saw that man’s face, my heart sank.

‘Why is that man…’

He was a boy with a face as elegant as a girl. His youthful, boyish face looked exactly like the’man’I had seen during previous trials.

Only then did I realize that the past reflected in this ordeal was not Kyle’s past

Kyle grinned and spoke to ‘that man.’

“Because Ariel and I don’t care about bad rumors about your family. Therefore… If that’s the case, you don’t have to worry. Millium.”

Milliam raised her head.

Tristan’s father, the ancestral Earl of Ruelberta. At the same time, the man who seemed like a machine without any emotions scratched his cheek embarrassedly in front of my eyes.

“If my brother says that… “I’ll think about it.”

“Milliam…”

Without realizing it, I gritted my teeth and chanted his name.

Exciting…

‘Anger’ that was not mine stirred within me.

*

“… “Didn’t you ask me earlier?”

After seeing the past in the room she entered earlier, Ariel gathered her thoughts and got up.

“Except for Kyle, the only one who could enter that study was Milliam.”

“… Is that so?”

“Yes. Count. Your father, Milliam… “He was Kyle’s favorite younger brother.”

It was a new setting I learned about.

I can’t believe Milliam and Kyle were friends…

Not only that, but his personality was so different that I wondered if he was the same person as the Millium I saw during the ordeal.

From what I just saw, he seemed like a fairly ordinary person.

“But it’s surprising. Of course I thought the Count would know.”

Ariel, the person involved, already knows, but I only found out about it for the first time today.

To begin with, Millium is a character that is not discussed in detail in the original work. It is natural that we know so little about him.

For now, I decided to look around a bit.

“… “I haven’t had a particularly good relationship with that man since long ago.”

“… Okay. What… After all, he was that kind of person, so the Count must have disliked him…”

This made me curious about Milliam. It would be a good idea to ask Ariel directly, but she is already full of prejudice against Millium. Also, in order to find a clue to clearing this ordeal, I think it would be best to look into the past myself.

More than anything… At the last moment of the ordeal, the image of Milliam, who had pulled the trigger herself, appeared. What kind of being was Millium so close to Kyle, and why did it end in tragedy?

I was lost in thought for a moment, but someone next to me pulled my sleeve.

“Count… Hey, are you okay… ?”

It was Wendy. She was looking up at me with a very worried face.

“… Okay. No problem. “Don’t worry.”

“I really… ?”

“Okay.”

But Wendy suddenly grabbed my hand. She suddenly squeezed her eyes shut and shivered until her face turned bright red.

“uuu… !”

“… “What are you doing now?”

“Hey, cheer up…”

“… If you’re going to cheer, don’t do it so weakly.”

“He?! Oh, I’m sorry! I was trying to share my power with the Count…”

Are you giving away Wendy power?

I am grateful for her feelings, but I feel like I will be’unhappy’if I receive something like that.

“… “I refuse.”

“S-sorry… Well, even if someone like me cheers for you, it won’t help… Sniff…”

“…”

Wendy scolds herself again with tears in her eyes.

Oh, if you really say that, it’s foul…

In the end, I sighed and spoke to Wendy.

“What I’m saying is there’s no need to do this… Even if you don’t do that, it would be of great help to me if you just stayed by my side…”

“Shit, I’m a count… ” .”

“… “Don’t hang on.”

Wendy, who was about to cry at my coaxing, regained her smile.

“Lolicon…”

Luna, who was watching that scene next to her, muttered in awe.

I didn’t do anything wrong, but I felt embarrassed and immediately opened the next door.

I’m sorry.

When the door opened, the figure of Milliam walking on the snow appeared.

But this time it was a little different than before.

[I respond to trials]

[Your sensitivity is 5%.]

‘Response?’

When I wondered what that was, I suddenly felt a strange sensation. I quickly realized the identity of that strange sensation.

“Chokkolok… !”

I started coughing without realizing it. But it was Milliam who was coughing, not me.

‘…What is it?’

I was taken aback for a moment, but I soon understood what was going on.

I share Milliam’s feelings about her in the past.

As proof, when Milliam touched the snow on the floor, I also felt coldness in my fingers.

Should I say that it feels like watching a 4D movie?

Millium was moving around in his eyes hers. He is so tall that he looks like an adult, but in reality he is probably in his late teens. I don’t know if it was a characteristic of the Ruelberta family, but he was already tall.

However, the body seemed quite weak.

Even now, I was still coughing and sweating. It was just walking on the snow, but it seemed very burdensome to him.

‘Was Milliam this unwell before?’

While I was thinking that, I heard a loud voice from over there.

“Uh-huh! Millium! This guy! “Didn’t I tell you to just rest quietly?”

Who is this again… ?

I think he was around mid 30s. The man approached with great strides shouted at Milliam.

Perhaps he was a man of high status, but the clothes he wore seemed luxurious at first glance.

“Huh? Don’t my words sound like words! Millium!”

A man yelling at Millium. When I saw him, I muttered without realizing it.

“Who… ?”

However, this time, those words came out of Milliam’s mouth her her her, not my mouth her her her.

Share this feeling… I’m not used to using it yet.

“Who? Inseok says let’s see! I sent a nursing car to the north…”

The man’s expression got worse, perhaps because he gave the wrong answer. But somehow he didn’t seem to be in a bad mood.

“This ugly guy…”

The man said, shaking off the snow that had accumulated on Milliam’s shoulders.

“Have you already forgotten Abby’s face? Huh?”
