The dark faction members. Was caught in surprised that the woman with horns. Immediately finds Them like it's nothing. The demon king was looking back at deruth.
"What's the surprised? Did you forget i can do this? One more thing. I feels like i cant give my all."
The demon king said. Deruth stay on the back the mother told deruth that he can see her stats. Deruth checks the demon king. Stats and he was surprised that its higher than he knows. It's increasing the many the enemy was.. her ability was too strong.
It's completely different as him. One of his passives "the tyrant who rule nothing" that increase his stats when no allies. He study her more the demon king look back and shout.
"Heyy you're giving me chills. it's bad to read a girls diary you know?"
One of the dark fiction members attacked her to test the maid power. The demon king just slapped the the enemy and immediately it's head explode like a balloon. the invader stepped forward.
"Who are you?"
"Huhuhu asking a girl a name? Sorry you ain't my type."
Deruth in the back wears the masks. The demon king Stepped forward. The invader walk towards too. Deruth mumurs his language can be only understand by the demon king. She says
"Aye.."
With his command the demon king moves. the invader counter her attack. his lance was fully aimed on her face. The invader use it's ability "first streak" deruth mumur something in distance the demonking slow attack pattern hits the invader lance..
The invader didn't understand what's going on. He attack again but he got parried by the demon. She smirks her smile was scary. It's feels like they're fighting in the cage where they can't use their true ability.
The demon king was just casually doing her slow physical attacks. The invader wasn't good at fighting this way. The demon king wide area attacks was undodgeable in this area. When he tried to block.
Deruth will predict it and tell the demon lord. The strategy was simple its parry baiting, block baiting strategy. The invader lance can't reach the demon king. She will hit him before he do. The demon speaks says
"Huhu thank you.. for the blood."
The invader stepped away. Everyone in the back was surprised that a beautiful lady was able to defeat the invader with only a pure strength but that wasn't the case. The invader know that the demon was stronger. But the problem is her slow attacks hits him.
"I see.. that young man behind you. Knows when my attacks hits no mattter how fast i was. You adjust your slow movement speed to hit me. Also you guys communicate by magic"
The invader said. he was right but also wrong. Deruth and the demon king doesn't know when his attacks hit. Deruth just predict it when it hits. The invader attack speed hits in delay 1.5sec the demon king was 2 second delay.
The demon king was attacking first before the invader. In 0.5 second adjustment. Deruth know the lance pattern. And also makes the demon king attack different as usual. By delaying it more. Making the invader missed his shield and parry.
They both clashing together the demon king using nothing but her hands. A wide attack that was slow but keeps successfully hitting the invader. The way the invader muscle move. The moment he aim his lance deruth keep getting it right. The demon king says
"Hey tin can. As you can see my lord. Was good at using my skills. Making my fatal attack as parry bait. At first i hate my slow wings but i didn't know it can be used to confuse the enemy."
"....i buyed enough time."
Deruth and the demon king realized that she's fading. Her 30mins runs out without them realizing. She looks back at deruth who also drained his mana by using the mask.
"Adios.. that was fun dude."
"You b#tch.."
Deruth said a curse word. As the demon king soul go back to the illusion world. The invader stands up. He was wounded but still able to hold his weapon. to attack deruth. Instead of attacking the invader retreated.
"Let's go i seen enough.."
"But. Sir the mis-"
"I said let's go."
The dark faction withdraw. Deruth knee's fall on the ground. His mana was drained. His head was having nausea from using the mask. He didn't know why the invader retreated. But it's a good thing the
"I'll see you again..."
The invader said in a cold tone. Seems like hes only going back because the leader ordered them to go back. But the truth is he's also buying time for that to happen.
The demon king ghost whisper on deruth ears.
"That man was strong not gonna lie. Seems like he was sealed.."
"Sealed?"
"Yeah he can't go all out because he's was ordered to hold back. Well he can't go all out in this place he's in the enemy territory also i cant too. we all was over if someone finds out huhuhu"
The demon king laughed. The demon king was strong but. Her physical body will disappear in just 30min in fight. Also having demon by his side. Was a problem.
Deruth was thinking about if he got caught having a demon servant the whole holy church will beheaded him. He looks at her again the demon king covered her body.. she doesn't like being watched. By a man.
"Eyy what are you looking at.?"
"Im thinking can you just be the maid in my house.. instead of going around fighting for me."
"Eyy im not your slave. I just wanna protect you. But yeah sure. I can get stronger without fighting anyway muhehe"
The demon king respond. Deruth start using his gloves she looks at him watching what's hes doing. deruth remain normal and calm. The demon king. Was surprised deruth was tired a few seconds ago.
"Wait wait how?.. you did you drain your stamina in purpose?"
"Yeah. act like I can't fight more so their boss won't get interested. The dark faction leader will surely kill me and use my body if they find out i can fight.. I'll die when i do so we had to take a risks."
"I'm sure they will come back again to keep checking me. And if they find out that i successfully absorb the orb. It's over."
"so you use the mask to drain your mana to make you look like a still a weakling huh.. impressive.. no wonder i felt nerfed when I'm fighting."
The demon king said. She's joking but that's the truth deruth doesn't want this vault to get destroyed. Him and the dark faction leader had the same thoughts. Deruth immediately go back to his house hiding from people.
When he got home. he immediately lay on his bed. the demon king was floating around wandering around the house. The house was surprisingly clean. And elegant.
"Hoho amazing. Anyway deruth i had something to tell you it's important"
The demon King snapped her finger. deruth got teleported in the illusion library. Full of nameless books. he gets up and wander around. Checking every corner of the library its just full of books.
"Demon king. Where are we?"
Deruth asked. The demon king guided deruth first. She invited him to sit. The place was quite and only their footsteps are heard. she started explaining her tone was serious as she speaks.
"This is the fairytale library.."
"The Fairytale library?"
Deruth said. He knows a little about the fairytale library its a place where. People's story are written after having their happy ending or not. The library act as a grave. For the people who died in the user eyes.
This ability was unknown to obtained. The main character of the manhwa deruth known Lenzie. That's the main character name. When he gain his harem and give them a happy ending. their story will be written in the library.
The place was collection of ending. The many you had the powerfull you get. It can work on anyone. user had ability to collect their storys. So the user will also get their own by collecting all of those.
Deruth was surprised. Knowing this is the library he knows. But he was afraid. This library collect deaths too. That it can be buried deep in his head. A bad ending that will never been forgotten. Even the timeline resets. Unlike the mc deruth was a villain.
Deruth closed his fist. For him this is not a blessing. This is a curse. This library was a blessing but can be a curse. He takes a deep breath. Deruth plans to avoid gathering books. Because he is a villain his ending was different.
It might lead him to his death by reaching his true ending. By gathering anyone story. Also if someone dead in his care. It will be a big trouble For him. deruth can't give happy ending. Unlike the mc but deep down he still wants to try. He decided to accept.
"Okay. I can manage.. this is dangerous. But Why I was chosen?"
"Deruth there's nothing to be worried you give me a happy ending. I think you can do it again.. right? This library aint just only for good memories it's your self. Everything was about to happen from now on will be added Here. painful. Happy. Guilt. So much more."
"I know. Im just worried.. what's your real name demon king?"
The demon king smiles as she walked up the stairs the library was felt alive. And comfortable. She introduced herself. Her wings and horn shown for display. As respect for deruth accepting her offer.
"My name is vivine. My savoir. I made this place for you this place will be your safe zone. If the world's hate you. You can stay here. inside here there's no time.. it's like the time was stopped in this illusion world."
Deruth understand. Why he had this. Why he's been chosen. it need a user to give a happy ending to the illusion world characters. The main character Lenzie gives the princess in the illusion world an happy ending. He became the Chosen hero.
Deruth in the other hand was the chosen hero of the evil. Deruth gives the demon king vivine an happy ending. That leads him to this. He didn't regret any of it. Vivine bring deruth back to his world After introducing.
"Now.. get out. Im cleaning this place I'll visit you in your world after this.. if you need anything just summon me."
"How cold. You're sweet few seconds ago."
Deruth do the middle finger trick. Vivine laugh at his barbaric actions. She wave her hands. While smiling at him *bleeeee* she flick her tongue out mocking him.
"I'll comeback and ask more about This Fairytale library.. vivine."
"Yeah yeah.."
Deruth got send back to his world. He's not mad he's just annoyed. He checked this "fairytale library" in his abilities seems like it cannot be removed. Like his passives. He lays on bed again and relax. He feels so tired.
"Library? memories? Love? Happy ending?. Ain't suited for me."
He closed his eyes as he falls asleep. Slowly.
