I was hit by the pouring flames and pain started to spread through my entire body.

It hurt. It really hurt. My skin cracked from the high temperature and my eyeballs felt ripe.

Jung Heewon endured her tears and kept attacking me. The flames that destroyed evil burned away at my wounds and all my flesh.

I probably wouldve fainted from the pain if it wasnt for Fourth Wall. Even so, my body didnt break.

The shocked Jung Heewon asked, What is going on with your body?

The damage is probably too insufficient.

The rate of my stamina consumption was accelerated but it wasnt enough to kill me in the remaining time. I didnt expect that even Jung Heewon wouldnt be sufficient.

Honestly, I was at a loss for words. Maybe it was because I was judged to be narrative-grade.

[The nebula Vedas is rejoicing in your pain.]

[The remaining attack time is 10 minutes.]

[The constellations of the nebula Papyrus are making a toast.]

This was just the beginning. A huge shock wave spread through the hall and my body started to grow again.

[The third phase of the 73rd Demon King is starting.]

[Your body has become harder.]

We had now reached the third phase. I shouted without feeling panic, Everybody, stay awake! Do you remember?

The party members nodded and skillfully changed the formation. However, I could see that Cho Youngrans Mechanical Gateway Array Method had slightly collapsed from my explosive increase in magic power.

In the end, Cho Youngran coughed up blood and sat down. The timing of this was faster than expected. Demonic energy started to fill the whole hall and the party members became weaker as they received debuffs.

Now I had to borrow a hand that I hadnt wanted to borrow.

[The constellation who doesnt yet have a name is looking at his incarnation.]

Shin Yoosung trembled after receiving my message and shook her head. My incarnation Shin Yoosung had felt my determination long ago.

Ahjussi, I cant do it. Please.

I stared at Shin Yoosung.

This was the relationship between a constellation and incarnation. Rather than speaking one hundred words, I conveyed my indescribable and deep emotions just by looking at them. Shin Yoosung finally burst out crying as the violent emotions were one-sidedly passed on.

I understand.

The pain and bitterness in the small childs heart resonated and as a constellation, I could hear it more than anyone.

Shin Yoosung held the other childs hand and stood up. Gilyoung. Lets go. We have to do it.

Shin Yoosungs eyes shone yellow. The characteristics of Beast Master were started to manifest. There was a great trembling in the hall and I soon heard a tearing sound. A giant beasts snout appeared in the gap.

The chimera dragon. The giant monster that would later become a destruction species flapped its giant wings as it was summoned to the hall. However, the chimera dragon hesitated instead of attacking when it saw me.

[The 2nd grade monster species, the Chimera Dragon has refused its masters command.]

[The 2nd grade monster species, the Chimera Dragon feels terrified of the 73rd demon king.]

Blood poured from Shin Yoosungs nose. She couldnt control the 2nd grade monster alone yet. I watched Lee Gilyoung and said, Gilyoung. Think of this as a game.

Lee Gilyoung looked up at me. I stared at the childs eyes and remembered the words I had once spoken as we walked through the darkness.

It was a conversation that occurred when we wandered together through the darkness of Geumho Station. The moments that passed like nothing became precious memories that returned.

Even if I die, I will come back. I promise.

These stories became the power to kill me.

Aaaaaah! Lee Gilyoung howled and used Taming.

[The remaining attack time is 9 minutes.]

The chimera dragon was controlled by the two childrens Taming and started to cry out in pain.

The chimera dragon sucked in all the air around it. The chimera dragon sucked in even my magic and started to open its huge snout towards me.

It was a dark magic power. A huge sphere of light was created between the ferocious fangs. It was a weapon that only a dragon, the peak of monsters, could use.

The Breath. I was hit by the Breath and my body was torn apart again. It was a shock that caused the mind to break down.

Despite this shock, my body was still alive. The party members were shocked by my miserable appearance but they shouldnt stop.

I straightened my ripped lips and said, Con tinue.

If they didnt do it now, there wouldnt be another chance.

[A few constellations have noticed your sacrifice.]

[Many constellations are amazed by your will.]

The chimera dragon was exhausted by the use of Breath and its huge body lay on the ground. Fortunately, the chimera dragon sucked in most of the worst of my rampaging magic power but the attack power of the party members were decreasing.

Damn, Im out of magic power!

[The remaining capture time is 5 minutes.]

My preparations for dealing with the 73rd demon king were up to here. So from now on I should leave it to someone else.

Kim Dokja. Yoo Jonghyuk had risen from the stone wall and was watching me.

I saw that Lee Seolhwa was exhausted by his side. She had probably poured all her magic power into healing him. I saw many emotions cross his eyes as he identified me as the demon king.

Dont make such an expression. You cant change what has already happened. Dont you already know?

Yoo Jonghyuk wiped his bloody lips and murmured, It shouldve been me who died here.

Fortunately, Yoo Jonghyuk was Yoo Jonghyuk. He already accepted that he would have to kill me.

Yoo Jonghyuk rushed towards me with the Heaven Shaking Sword. Every hit made me feel that my physical strength had been reduced. He didnt say anything but his despair was conveyed every time the blade cut me.

[The remaining capture time is 4 minutes.]

For us, we werent even allowed time to feel that despair.

Lets end it now Yoo Jonghyuk. Bring that out.

I dont know what you mean.

Dont play around. I know you didnt use it on purpose.

If I use this, you cant be resurrected.

Thats why you are going to use it. It would be difficult if I came back again as a demon king.

What if the scenario ends up being ruined? You should stop thinking about it.

Yoo Jonghyuk glared at me without speaking.

Do you have an idea?

I just laughed at his question. Yoo Jonghyuk hesitated before eventually pulling out a sword.

The Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds. Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi. It was a sword obtained from Yamata no Orochi in Peace Land.

Yoo Jonghyuk spoke in a somber voice, I hoped the moment where I had to use this would never come.

Me too. However, now is the time.

[The constellation Demon-like Judge of Fire feels despair.]

[The constellation Prisoner of the Golden Headband is sighing deeply.]

[The constellation Queen of the Darkest Spring is holding her breath.]

The power acquired by a story will eventually collapse because of a story. My attribute of Eight Lives was derived from the power of Yamata no Orochi. This power was bound to be vulnerable to the weapon of death that killed Yamata no Orochi. Perhaps I would lose all my remaining lives if I was cut by this sword.

Yoo Jonghyuk opened his mouth. To be honest, there is no certainty in this. The duration of Giant Body Transformation is over and Im not confident in my current attack power.

Dont worry about it.

I could see Shin Yoosung furiously shaking her head towards me.

[The constellation who doesnt yet have a name has given his incarnation a stigma.]

There was a dazzling light and my stigma nestled inside Shin Yoosung.

[The stigma Sacrifices Will Lv. 1 has been activated!]

The stigma caused a brilliant glow to emerge from Shin Yoosungs body.

[The master of the stigma risks his life for others.]

[The attack power of the party is greatly increased in proportion to the desperation of their lives.]

The exhausted eyes of my party members started to become energetic again.

Sacrifices Will. It was a stigma that didnt really suit me. One thing was for certain. My death was now confirmed.

Thank you for everything.

[The remaining capture time is 3 minutes.]

The party members were running.

Lee Hyunsung, Jung Heewon, Shin Yoosung, Lee Gilyoung, Yoo Sangah, Gong Pildu, Lee Jihye

They cried, screamed or were filled with deep anger. Everyone was coming towards me. My vision gradually diminished and all the characters became the landscape. I saw them and laughed.

Incarnation Kim Dokja will be killed by the person he loves most.

I had forgotten. All prophecies couldnt be interpreted literally. In this Star Stream, people were stories.

[The constellation Secretive Plotter is looking at you.]

[The constellation Demon-like Judge of Fire is looking at you.]

[The constellation Prisoner of the Golden Headband is looking at you.]

[The constellation Abyssal Black Flame Dragon is looking at you.]

[The constellation Maritime War God is looking at you.]

As the gazes of countless stars in the sky poured towards me, a story was running towards me.

Ahhhhhh!

Parents, friends and lovers were all stories.

[The remaining capture time is 2 minutes.]

This wasnt the Ways of Survival I knew butIt was a story more wonderful than Ways of Survival.

[A constellation of a small planet is looking at you.]

[All the constellations on the Korean Peninsula are looking at you.]

It was my story. I laughed as Yoo Jonghyuks sword pierced my heart.

[Your fate has been realized.]

My body slowly sank down and Yoo Jonghyuk held onto me. Kim Dokja.

It was a really great story. Isnt that right?

Yoo Jonghyuk stared down at me silently. I couldnt find any words and just watched. It was as if I had always been meant to do this.

[The effect of the Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds has destroyed all remaining extra lives.]

[You can no longer resurrect.]

I finally looked up at the sky. The clusters of nebulae were in the centre of the night sky. Vedas, Olympus, Papyrus

I would never forget what they had done.

Then the sky blinked.

[The constellation Prisoner of the Golden Headband doesnt wish for your death.]

The stars shone brightly as if in response to my will.

[The constellation Abyssal Black Flame Dragon doesnt wish for your death.]

[The constellation Secretive Plotter doesnt wish for your death.]

[The constellation Demon-like Judge of Fire doesnt wish for your death.]

I looked at the sky and laughed. Due to these guys, I hated the constellations but I couldnt hate the story.

Lets meet again, Yoo Jonghyuk.

The power of the demon king disappeared and at the same time, strength drained from me.

[The main scenario has ended.]

[Seoul Dome has been freed.]

A small black hole appeared in the air behind me. My body was slowly being sucked into it. My legs, my torso, my armsthey turned into powder and were slowly being sucked in.

Kim Dokja! No! Kim Dokja!

At the last moment, he tightly held me by the neck. However, it was already too late.

My vision turned black and I was sucked into an empty void. The eyes of the constellations watching me started to disappear one by one. I was leaving the area of the channel.

[The constellation Demon-like Judge of Fire doesnt wish for your death!]

In the distant night sky, one star desperately blinked at me.

[The constellation Demon-like Judge of Fire doesnt wish for your death!]

Yes, you can stop now. Uriel.

[The constellation Demon-like Judge of Fire]

Thank you.

The stars in the night sky went out one by one and Incarnation Kim Dokjas story finally ended.

[The constellations of the absolute good system have withdrawn the mark of evil from you.]

[Your incarnation body has completely been destroyed.]

[You have failed the scenario.]

[You have been expelled from the scenario.]

[The Star Stream will announce your modifier.]

In the faraway darkness, the Star Stream was quietly whispering to me.

[Your modifier is the Demon King of Salvation.]
