Episode 240 < We were sitting on the main floor of an old city. (1) >
One.
Dawn dawned.
The color of dawn slowly seeped into Kim Yul’s silver hair. Since Kim Yul was kneeling before me, I had the luxury of looking down at the dawn instead of looking up. Yes. Dawn was beneath my feet.
[Your presence becomes even more evident.]
It was around that time that I heard Top’s voice.
[Death King’s level increases.]
At the same time that the dawn was brightly coloring the sky, the tower once again proved its worth to me.
If it were natural, wouldn’t it be natural?
I returned Esther’s body, returned the bodies of the Demonic Cult elites, allowed Sylvia Evanail to live, and finally embraced Kim Yul’s life. I became as clear as their greed, desires, hopes, and wishes.
It became heavy.
It has expanded.
[Skill slots are expanded.]
[Now your hunter rank is A.]
[May good luck be with you.]
Yes, God.
God who wants to be a mother to everyone born in this world.
amethyst. Even if the people you consider your daughters and sons dig at you with their claws, you will just be sad and slowly accept that it is your fault.
I am.
I think that’s sad.
“I won’t have to!”
I touched the hilt of the sword and looked up at the sky.
In the past, I was worried that TOP would hear the voice of someone like me. But not anymore. Every word I say, every word I give, will reach the tower and reach Amethyst’s ears.
Because I became that kind of being.
“Wait until I get there! Be it the golden rule, kingdom or anything else, I will go and destroy them all! “I’ll show you that you’re wrong by being with people who are much happier and happier than you!”
My declaration definitely reached the tower.
So, the answer came.
[May good luck be with you.]
On this day.
I declared war on the tower.
2.
“From now on, we are one family.”
I sat on the main floor.
The only people sitting on the floor were me and Raviel, so it was clear who was qualified to sit on the throne.
“Our family’s name is the Four Kings.”
In the courtyard, hundreds of humans were kneeling on one knee. All of them were my vassals. If there was not enough space in the courtyard, I could climb on the wall, or if the wall was too tight, I could climb on an old tree, but the retainers seemed to bow down to me.
One thousand water views.
It would be enough troops to form one family.
“I am the head of this family, and my wife, Raviel Ivansia… … .”
“I am also the head of a great family.”
Raviel hit the floor with the side of her fan.
“The head of the Four Kings is the wife of the Ivansia family. In other words, it would also make sense for the wife of the Ivansia family to become the wife of the Four Kings. All the vassals gathered here are the lives taken by Confucius. “It’s not cool to interfere just because you are Confucius’s wife.”
Raviel smiled.
“If you translate the meaning of Ivansia into the language of this world, it is silver heart. It would be appropriate to call my family the Silver Heart family. One day, the Four Kings and the Silver Hearts will completely unite, and if that day comes—they will become the Dead Hearts and conquer the tower.”
Yes.
At that time, Raviel and I will become joint heads of the family and lead our family.
“Sylvia Evanail.”
When I called his name, the shoulder of one of the retainers in the courtyard twitched. She was a noble daughter with flowing blonde hair, and she was also a powerful apostle of a certain constellation.
“Yes, yes! “Matriarch!”
“From now on, you are the chamberlain of the Four Kings. Take care that the people in your family eat, sleep, and wear clothes. Among the four units led by Sima Jun, appoint as servants those who have free time each day. “Don’t leave the family’s care to you.”
Sylvia Evanail was sweating profusely.
“… … “It all seems like chores and chores, right?”
“I’m sure you haven’t forgotten what you said yourself.”
Sylvia’s expression hardened.
“A servant is someone who serves the head of the family closer than anyone else. If you want to be like me, if you want to be someone who accepts others, stay by my side and watch me. “That is the opportunity I give you.”
“I am… … .”
“If it’s hard, you can quit.”
I said it with sincerity.
“But your actions are the only thing that proves your heart and life. Think about it. Decide. If you decide, fight. If you fight, win. “That’s probably what your butler wants.”
“f*ck… … .”
Thus, in our family, a chamberlain was born who always muttered, “Damn it,” “Damn it,” “Ssang.” Compared to her bright blonde hair, her face is always dark. Every time her lips open, a curse leaks out, and from now on, this will become [Chamberlain Sylvia Evanail]’s daily routine.
“Esther.”
“Yes, matriarch.”
When I called, Esther stood up straight.
Unlike Sylvia’s disgraceful behavior, Esther’s expression was aloof and her demeanor was steady. In her breath, there remained an afterimage of a demon lord who once led hundreds of thousands of monsters and annihilated the continent.
“Please give me your name.”
“As my eldest daughter, you are the successor who will lead the family on my behalf in case of emergency.”
“…….”

A faint crack appeared on Esther’s aloof face.
“In case of emergency… … . These are blasphemous words. The head of the family never dies… … .”
“Of course I have a secret plan. Our family won’t face a crisis so much as losing one or two lives. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t avoid assuming emergencies. “What would happen if I was cursed so that I couldn’t use my Aurors, couldn’t even move my teeth, let alone my limbs, and was sealed in a very hard and wide vault?”
“…….”
“Of course, even in that state, I can use [One Hundred Returns Reincarnation]. But what if someone turns me into a vegetable state?”
“father… … .”
“I am not invincible. Esther. As we climb up the tower, the enemies will become stronger. “You always have to think of the worst, and when that really comes, I want you to lead the family.”
“…….”
Esther closed her eyes.
She breathed quietly, and the exhaled breath contained the scent of ruins, a little more strongly than before.
“yes.”
When Esther opened her eyes again, she was pious.
She held the sword with both hands and placed her forehead against the crossbar.
“I, Esther, will be the successor to the Four Kings.”
I nodded.
“good night.”
We may still be immature as parents and children.
However, if there is a relationship between [head of the family] and [successor], it can be done well.
‘There is absolutely no need to be impatient.’
You can start from here.
Ordinary people first become parents and children, and then the head of the household and the successor to the head of the household, but this is only allowed to those who enjoy ordinary good fortune.
We were broken into pieces and scattered around the world, but by chance we met each other, in this reverse direction. We have no choice but to become a family in reverse.
That’s enough.
“You will be treated as a successor, but in normal times, you will only be an advisor and assist me.”
“If you say advisor… … .”
“It is literally a position where I seek advice. Esther. You once led a large army and overthrew the kingdoms, provinces, and empires that existed on the continent. “You can’t even compare to me in terms of military insight and strategic sense.”
I am slowly feeling it as I climb the tower.
‘The stages where an individual hunter plays a game on his own gradually decreases.’
In each stage, the size of the enemy forces becomes larger.
I was somehow able to clear [Burning Mansion] by myself.
However, the tragedy of [Aegim Continent] has already become quite difficult.
Wasn’t that stage originally a scenario in which the high-ranking hunters took on the roles of general, knight commander, and prime minister, and [all together] revived the dying empire?
‘I just dug into a loophole in the stage.’
Single play, which is not normally allowed.
I brought it out with actions that were no different from cheats.
‘Even in the Apocalypse of the Great Library, [team play] was already enforced. After entering the [Tribal War], it got to the point where I was leading a single race.’
this.
What does this series of flows mean?
‘The tower is ordering us to create a [force].’
I narrowed my eyes.
‘Top never lists stages without meaning. No, [Amethyst] never does anything meaningless. This is a recommendation. It’s a warning.’
Unless you increase your power in advance.
A warning that the difficulty level will become extremely harsh from stages beyond the 50th floor.
‘Right now in our tower, only I know of this warning.’
Because I was the only one who faced Amethyst face to face.
Only I know what kind of person the owner of the tower is, what he thinks, and what he desires.
And this is sure to serve as a huge advantage in attacking the tower in the future.
‘We need to increase our power.’
Fortunately, there were people around me.
There were a lot.
It wasn’t just a bunch of people gathered together, there were people who could mean a little more to each other.
‘It’s my luck.’
Thank.
I am deeply grateful for that fact.
‘We are strong.’
I looked around the courtyard.
[Demon Cult Warriors] bowed down towards me.
[Sama Army Adjutants] leading the warriors.
[Warrior Uburka] commands the Sima army.
[Chamberlain Sylvia Evanail] will support and back them up.
[Kim Yul Ga-young] will organize an intelligence unit and operate in secret.
[Esdel Advisor] will be by my side and advise strategies.
We looked at each of their faces, made eye contact, and exchanged intentions. There were people here who gave or shared death with me, and who decided to live together.
‘We are strong and we will become stronger.’
I opened my mouth to Esther.
“This father is good at saving people and bringing them together. It would be nice to boast that I am quite capable in that area. “You can tell what kind of wounds a person lives with by looking at her father, and if you can’t tell by looking at her, you can find out by dying.”
“…….”
“That’s how fathers share their wounds with people. Divided into one family. If we try harder, we might become family. However, when it comes to how to run the [forces] that she has gathered, this father is still immature and lacking. “Very much.”
I smiled.
“I need your help and advice. Esther.”
“…….”
“The history of you becoming the Demon King and annihilating the continent disappeared because of me. But it’s not meaningless trauma.”
Exactly.
“No, you can do it.”
I gestured to Esther.
Esther approached me with cautious steps.
I held Esther’s hand and made her sit on the main floor, facing the same direction as me.
“Look.”
It made me share the same perspective as me.
“The wounds you received from experiencing a lifetime of trauma are not the only wounds, and now I will protect your family. my family name. your family name. And our family.”
“…….”
“No one will be able to burn down our family name.”
I spoke to the child who became my daughter today.
And all along, I said what I wanted to say to this child.
“Use what you gained from destroying the world, and this time, protect your world.”
Dawn dawned.
As the bright glass color colored the world, the sky blue paint stayed on Esther’s face for a moment.
“…….”
Esther nodded slightly.
“… … yes.”
I nodded once more.
“Yes, I will protect it.”
Esther raised her left hand.
Then, she grabbed the skull mask that always covered half of her face, took it off, and lightly threw it toward the ground in the courtyard.
The old bones crumbled to dust the moment they hit the ground.
“We will protect our world.”
Esther turned her head and looked at me.
Esther’s full face is seen for the first time since becoming a white demon.
“Matriarch.”
There was dew on her face from the long night.
Since it was dawn now, it was not at all strange that dew was forming on things born in this world like blades of grass.
“I will be your advisor.”
Therefore, it would not be surprising that Esther smiled brightly.
“…….”
I nodded silently and finally stood up from the main hall.
I looked up at the sky where the color of glass was turning blue and shouted.
“Now that’s enough.”
The sky was quiet.
“Vacation is over. Thanks to your consideration, I really saw a lot and experienced a lot. But again, what I saw made me stronger instead of weaker. Instead of burning me, the experience I went through burned me.”
The sky was distorted.
“now,”
A beam of light fell from the sky.
“Please send us to the next stage.”
And a voice rang from the sky.
[The constellation ‘Princess Walking in a Mirage’ appears.]
