<hr class="wp-block-separator">\nThe demon king stares daggers at us while we keep our stand on the beach thatâs devoid of people due to the preemptive evacuation led by the soldiers.\n
With nothing else in the around but stones and sand, itâs the perfect time to launch magic however we want.\n
.\n
It probably thought that it was alone and let down itâs guard.\n
Seeing the demon king whoâs been flaunting how intelligent he was walk into the abyss trap on his own felt so satisfying to my eyes.\n
.\n
And now that I can see how this situation came into fruition, I can now finally understand how much this bracelet came to play a huge role.\n
.\n
[Itâs all thanks to Eve huh, I see.] (Russell)\n
[Yeah. Ainât she just the best?] (Sybilla)\n
.\n
Emmy then tilts her head in wonder after hearing our words.\n
Letâs tell her then how everything led up to this point since it appears that she wasnât able to follow.\n
.\n
[About that bracelet⊠Sybilla isnât the type whoâll buy something like that, so⊠where else would she be able to get that? It could only be on the bottom floor of the secret dungeon we discovered.]\n
[eh~ so itâs between the fight with the floor boss?]\n
[Yep. To be specific, that bracelet isâŠ]\n
[âaaAaAAAAAAH!!!!!? Then that bracelet is minneee!!!????]\n
.\n
The demon kingâs red eyes radiated brighter than before as she looked at Sybilla while pointing his fingers.\n
Emmy seeing the Demon Lordâs reaction would now be able to figure it out.\n
.\n
[ehh? But the culprit who bought that bracelet was supposed to be a nobl⊠ahh!]\n
[It is what you think. Heâs wearing clothes fitted for nobility earlier, right? He used such an appearance to have people lower their guards as he bought things in the city using fake money. âŠThe truth behind the matter is that the demon king is so broke he canât afford to pay in reality so he has to resort to being such a scammer. No one would have ever thought of this though.]\n
[Then, the bracelet Sybilla-san is wearingâŠ]\n
.\n
But if you think about it normally, it is a miracle that we were able to get this bracelet which served as our biggest lead.\n
A miracle thatâs brought us by a young female orphanâŠ\n
.\n
[Eve was able to land a direct hit to him using her knife. The bracelet probably fell from the Demon Kingâs pouch due to that and Sybilla noticed it and picked it up⊠But who would have thought that when I bought Emmyâs bracelet, the Demon King was already standing beside me back then!]\n
.\n
Emmy finally understood everything and the demon king remains to be dumbfounded.\n
.\n
He really looked just like your typical noble until Sybilla pointed him out.\n
The familiarity that I must have felt when I first met him in the stalls was probably from my impression of Adoria Dungeonâs own Demon King.\n
However, it seems he used some kind of magic for him to appear as humane as possible.\n
.\n
But the Goddess, Sybilla, still cornered him. \n
All because of the key obtained by the miracles brought by that kid, Eve.\n
The Demon King already lost by the time he was hit by a single slash from Eve.\n
.\n
[You probably donât have any more clothes to change and disguise as noble, right~ The Dusk Magiâs abyss trap sure is hard to land but itâs power is immense and the strongest from his current arsenal. The clothes, the jewelry, all of them just disintegrated and got blown away. How unfortunate, is it~!]\n
.\n
Sybilla aggressively grins to the demon king as if sheâs already looking at a cornered rabbit.\n
The demon king can only groan in frustration receiving her provocations while attempting to summon monsters from the dungeon.\n
.\n
Emmy moves in front of me to serve as the vanguard while equipping her sword and shield.\n
Her eyes speak of her determination now that we finally have the chance to finish off the demon king that escaped our grasps for reasons we didnât understand.\n
I understand her that much since I feel the same as I make my way beside Sybilla.\n
.\n
.\n
.\n
The time has come for the battle.\n
âŠSince weâve already fought before, I donât feel like pulling any tricks in using my magic for now.\n
I still canât figure out how he was able to dodge my attack from behind so until then, I donât think I have to make things difficult for myself.\n
.\n
I use <Enchant Darkness> to all of our blades with dark magic without chanting and the demon king decides to speak.\n
.\n
[âŠI never expect for a day to arrive that Iâll be caught by cheap and filthy people⊠It appears that I was too careless this timeâŠ]\n
[Well, itâs not like you will be able to see through it no matter how much you prepared. Eve wasnât even a member of our party in the first place so how can you account for her. Oh, itâs that child who brought us this bracelet, you know~.]\n
.\n
Sybilla then clumsily taps the bracelet with her fingers.\n
The bracelet even looks like it began to have dents and the demon king visibly frowned while he looks at the Goddess.\n
.\n
[Tsk⊠Swines who donât know the value of pearls in front of them⊠Take your filthy hands away from that bracelet. Itâs originally mine and I donât want it to be tainted by your foul dark element.]\n
[Haa? Go f*ck yourself, how can this bracelet be yours in the first place.]\n
[âŠWhat did you say?]\n
.\n
The sudden change in Sybillaâs took everyone by surprise.\n
I even noticed that Emmy wasnât able to stop herself from gasping her breath.\n
.\n
Then, as if to deny the demon kingâs very own existence, Sybilla let her anger flow out from her.\n
.\n
[Gold goes to the people who risk their pride at their work which warrants wealth and fortune! True nobles do not take pride in how much gold they accumulated, but on the prestige and contributions made by their lineage. Itâs because it is the effort that counts. A certain awkward guyâs unexpected gift to a certain girl holds deeper meaning compared to any luxurious item there is due to that guyâs effort! You, who resort to crimes and foolery will not be able to understand a real treasureâs worth!]\n
.\n
The remaining pieces of accessories that were able to avoid the abyss trap vanished to the seas as Sybilla kicked them up high during her speech.\n
.\n
[You donât deserve these handworks! The sweat, blood, and tears the smiths and craftsmen poured into these creations are not something you will understand nor deserve!]\n
[âŠâŠ..]\n
[The gold you have is nothing but fakes. You donât even have notable achievements by yourself. The only thing you have is vanity! You are collecting things that have high âworthâ because you have, zero, as in nothing, of your own!]\n
.\n
Sybilla then paused from her words and gave the demon king a deep good look.\n
.\n
[Thatâs why, bear this on your mind, even an orphan canât be any cheaper or worthless compared to you.]\n
.\n
âŠSybillaâs words strike me to my heart.\n
.\n
The golden bracelet that I brought from Emmy came from the earnings I had after defeating the dragon. \n
For Sybilla, it might be cheaper than the bracelet she currently wears but it holds much more value as it is a gift that came from my own effort.\n
.\n
As for the demon king, thereâs no way it will even have a family register.\n
He has basically nothing that does have worth. \n
.\n
[âŠâŠâŠFufufuufufuâŠ. FUfufuUFufufufufuâŠ]\n
.\n
The demon king whoâs just been silently listening until now laughs creepily.\n
Did he finally snap?\n
After listening to all of what Sybilla had to say, well, I can see that.\n
.\n
He spread both of his hands and a monster appeared from the magic he used.\n
What appeared from the summoning circle is⊠a creepy looking gigantic winged monster that seems similar to a dragonfly.\n
But it didnât end with just that, more monsters came out from the circle and uncomfortable buzzes that are unique to insects continue to fill our ears and the surroundings.\n
.\n
I wonder if Sybilla really hit a nerve.\n
I donât know but, thereâs one thing I am sure of right now.\n
.\n
[With these monsters, the city will definitely be destroyed.]\n
.\n
âThatâs why, demon king, I shall have you die in this place, right at this moment.\n
<ol>Well, sometimes, the hardest part in all of this is looking for someone whoâll see your worth and the value of your efforts. </3 OMG, my chunii/tired employee/emo heart. Hahahaha. Happy weekdays ahead!</ol>\nAppreciate the post? Maybe you can buy me a cup of coffee?~\n
