Me, Bloody Mary.
Boss usually called me Bloody Mary. Of course, that was the old nickname. Now, Boss called me Superior Demon.
I didn't really care about it.
Because I also thought Superior Demon sounded better than Bloody Mary.
Even though I was born from the crown of the Blood Queen, it was the same.
After all, the reason why I was born was because of the many obsessions, grudges, and evil thoughts.
Humans were truly a complex and terrifying creature!
When I thought about what I saw when I first had my own thoughts, I knew it. So, in the beginning, I didn't mind wandering around the cruise ship alone.
Even though there wasn't a living being around that I could communicate with.
One year.
Two years.
Three years.
At first, I was still counting, but eventually, I lost count.
Boredom took over my heart.
Fortunately, I was familiar with the structure of the cruise ship, so I found a lot of books in the secret room of the cruise ship.
They contained everything and were extremely precious. They were one of the most important collections of the former owner of the cruise ship.
Since then, they were the books that accompanied me.
However, the waves on the sea were too strong, the books started to decay. I tried countless ways to stop the decay, but it was useless.
There weren't any suitable materials on the cruise ship, all I could do was slow the decay, but I couldn't stop the decay.
So, I sped up my reading speed.
That period of time was really stressful. I didn't sleep or rest, racing against time.
In the end, before all the books decayed, I finished all of them. I even had time to review the old knowledge one more time.
The long period of reading allowed me to gain a lot of knowledge.
It also allowed me to understand a lot about the outside world.
Gradually, I wanted to know what the outside world was like.
West Coast, East Coast.
Inland cities.
Towering mountains.
Fields, lakes, streams.
Ugh …
Forget about lakes and streams, they should be water.
I looked at the sea every day and it was enough.
Every day, I imagined the outside world in my mind, and finally, I couldn't hold it anymore.
I made a decision that surprised me: leave the cruise ship!
It was the opposite of what I thought at first.
But after the shock, I accepted it calmly.
After all, humans were contradictory. Since I had gathered the obsessions, grudges, and evil thoughts of humans, so what if I was a little contradictory?
Isn't that normal?
Now that he had a goal, he had to take action.
Let me understand what to do next.
While I was preparing, I was waiting for an opportunity!
This was a chance for the cruise ship to reach the shore and escape!
During this period, there were many people who coveted this cruise ship, but they were all unsuitable. They were either too weak or too powerful.
I've killed all the weak ones.
Powerful?
I stealthily made a detour.
Time slowly passed again. After spending a great deal of effort, I finally found the ocean current that would allow me to return to land.
After who knew how many years, the cruise ship finally docked.
However …
The sudden storm interrupted my plan to quietly reach the shore, making the docking a little more noisy.
Immediately, many gazes focused on me. I, who was eager to leave, had no choice but to slow down and reconsider what I should do.
Because I knew I was different.
What will I face once I appear?
But before I could come up with a practical solution, those people became impatient.
In the beginning, they were all weaklings who were even weaker than the ones in my memory. They were easy to deal with, but I knew that this was just the beginning.
As time passed, the true experts would definitely appear!
I couldn't wait any longer!
At that time, I decided to risk it all.
Then …
I met the boss.
A human that I had never met before. He was obviously strong, but he was extremely cautious and careful, and he liked to hide himself.
What was the new phrase now?
Cower?
Yes, cower!
Cower until the final circle, he started to wave his pan.
One after another, he became unreasonable.
I felt sad for those experts who were killed by the boss. It wasn't that they didn't have a chance to defeat the boss, but the boss was too cunning.
According to the description in the book, such people should die young due to excessive intelligence.
But not only was my boss alive and well, he was also getting stronger and stronger. He gradually surpassed the description in the book, reaching a level that I couldn't understand.
However, even so, this boss of mine still maintained his stingy habit.
Not thrifty!
He was stingy!
Thrifty was a compliment, I knew.
But stingy was a derogatory term!
A person who was rich but only interested in free things, if he wasn't stingy, then what was?
Not to mention, I sent him all the way to Printon to retrieve the spoils of war.
Of course, I knew my mission wasn't just to retrieve the spoils of war, but that was the main mission.
Look at this place that never saw the sun!
It always reminded me of the dark days when I first boarded the cruise ship.
Thanks to the countless contracts with the boss, I wasn't afraid of the sun anymore. I could even bask in the sun for real.
Standing under the sun and enjoying the wind was my favorite thing to do.
However, the boss' mission always made me feel pressured.
In the beginning, I only had to die once, but after my secret was discovered, I had to die a few more times before it was over. I had gone through a disaster that no one could imagine.
This time, I felt like I was going to face the biggest problem I had ever faced since I gained intelligence.
"Sir Sphendix, we are ready!"
The voice entered my ears the moment I retrieved the spoils of war from the boss.
Out of habit, I hid in the void.
Then, I saw the Black Armored Knight.
He wasn't a stranger.
Boss had seen him before, so I had seen him before. In order for me to retrieve the spoils of war more easily, boss shared everything he saw with me.
But that was all there was to it.
Was there more?
Thanks to the countless contracts, I had to die once for the slightest curiosity.
I watched from the void as the black-armored knight began to clean and decorate the room of this Luther, whose corpse was nowhere to be found.
Countless things were moved into the room.
One after another, the repeated spell formations appeared.
"Summoning?
"No!"
It's not summoning!
It's descending! "
The knowledge in my mind allowed me to make precise judgements, but at the same time, my boss already knew everything when I made my judgements.
"Wait!
"Observe!"
Deal a fatal blow! "
My boss gave an order that was very characteristic of him.
So, I quietly watched what the Black Armored Knight was up to. Then, I discovered some secrets.
The Black Armored Knight before me seemed to be bewitched and controlled.
Although he tried his best to maintain his original form, his reaction was a little slow.
Normal people couldn't tell, but I knew this very well.
One had to know that my boss was a master in this field. Compared to my boss, this person in front of me wasn't even worthy of carrying his shoes.
After the magic circle for descending was set up, the Black Armored Knight seemed to think everything was fine. He sent everyone away and started muttering to himself.
"Everything is ready!"
"Mm!"
"Waiting for Calamity Dragon to descend upon Alkender!"
Every time he muttered a word, he would pause.
No doubt, the Black Armored Knight was talking to the one who controlled him.
I, on the other hand, felt sorrow for the existence that controlled the black armored knight.
It was simple, my boss was in Alkender City.
And me?
He was here.
The descent of Calamity Dragon?
No!
He was going to deliver food to me!
I knew how good my boss' appetite was.
Calamity Dragon, the name itself, was a very nutritious one.
Seconds turned into minutes.
"Yes, activate the descending magic circle!"
When the Black Armored Knight uttered those words, my boss's voice entered my mind again.
"Activate it."
I obeyed the order and watched as the black-armored knight slit his wrist and threw something I couldn't name into the magic circle. Then, he started to chant.
It was a success!
I could tell the Black Armored had prepared for a long time.
However, he was destined to fail.
My boss's voice entered my mind again.
"Kill him."
"Okay."
I, who had been waiting for a long time, beheaded the black-armored knight who was completely focused on me.
His head flew up and blood splattered everywhere.
The descending magic circle was broken in an instant.
However, it didn't completely fail.
It was still barely functioning.
"Well done, Superior Demon."
My boss praised me.
This was the first time, right?
This was the first time my boss praised me!
I was happy, as if everything that I went through was worth it, but something felt wrong. My boss's voice entered my mind again, forcing me to clear my mind.
"Wait for my order!"
"Yes, boss."
…
"Roar!"
Calamity Dragon, who was stuck in the void hole, roared angrily.
Without the need to ask, the Void Dragon was certain that this unforeseen event was caused by this' offering 'in front of him.
Although it didn't know how the 'offering' did it, it didn't stop it from expressing its anger.
Even though finding a suitable 'offering' wasn't easy, it would be a joke if the Void Dragon thought it could let this' offering 'go!
Who was it?
It was the Calamity Dragon!
The Calamity Dragon that once ravaged the land!
Kaboom!
The plague aura erupted like a volcano, rising from the Calamity Dragon's giant body.
Dead silence enveloped the entire night sky of Alkender City.
The moon, the stars, everything vanished at that moment.
The birds that slept in the canopy of the trees.
The cats and dogs that hid in the corners.
The rats in the sewers.
All of them felt an unknown sense of anxiety and danger at that moment.
It felt like death was coming for them.
They wanted to flee, but their bodies were stiff and they couldn't move at all.
Even those who entered the emergency passage from the fallout shelter instinctively raised their heads at this moment.
"What happened?"
"I don't know."
Someone couldn't help but ask this question.
The one who asked the question sounded shaky.
So did the one who answered the question.
The two of them represented the thoughts of everyone in the shelter.
Unconsciously, everyone looked at Drexton.
Drexton was feeling the discomfort in his body and doubts rose in his heart.
One needed to know this was a specially built shelter for Alkender City, it had all sorts of protection, not just from technology, but also from the mystical realm.
But even so, it still affected him.
Drexton could already imagine what kind of terror it would be on the surface.
The black monitor that was connected to the surface, allowing the shelter to see the outside world clearly, further spread the terror.
Drexton knew he had to stop the terror from spreading.
Otherwise, it might trigger a series of terrifying consequences.
"Willis, can you see the situation on the surface?"
Drexton looked at the 'eye'.
"Boss, I can't.
"The power of the sanctuary has affected my ability."
Willis shook his head.
Drexton looked at Machinist beside him.
Likewise, Machinist shook his head.
Drexton furrowed his brows right away.
Willis and Machinist were the most suitable candidates in his group to investigate the situation, but now, both of them couldn't do it …
"Why don't I try?"
Just when Drexton was thinking about what to do, a voice sounded.
A young man with glasses walked out from the crowd. Three figures walked side by side.
"Goran?
Emma Eddie, Ferris, and Odork? "
Drexton was stunned.
He was familiar with the four of them, they were his best friend, 2567's comrades, but shouldn't they be in the shelter under Charity Hospital with his friend?
Why would they be here?
The question in his heart didn't affect Drexton's judgment.
"Okay, Goran."
Drexton nodded.
Goran pushed his glasses up and walked to the black monitor.
When he placed his hand on the monitor, snowflakes appeared on the monitor, followed by blurry images. Then, the images became clear.
The moment the images became clear …
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
It wasn't just the people in the shelter.
It was everyone in the whole of Alkender City.
They looked at the gigantic body of Calamity Dragon.
They looked at the dead, dark sky.
"Oh my god!"
"What is this?"
Someone couldn't help but cry out in shock.
The children were all frightened and were about to open their mouths to cry, but their mothers covered their mouths tightly to prevent the sound of crying from spreading.
However, the soft sobs were even more frightening.
However, as the angle of the cameras on the ground shifted, everyone saw the figure standing on the ground, raising his head to face the huge monster.
The same black figure.
But deeper.
"Look!"
"T-That's …"
"Glutton Emperor!"
Cries of shock sounded again, but this time, it wasn't panic, it was joy.
Humans were like that.
When facing a powerful unknown, they would always hope for protection.
It wasn't shameful.
It was instinct.
The person who could forget the instinct and stand in front of everyone, protecting the people behind him, was known as …
A hero!
In an instant, the way everyone looked at the black figure changed.
Goran, on the other hand, quietly walked back to the line.
As soon as he entered, the bespectacled young man's body swayed.
Connecting all the monitors in the shelter wasn't as simple as it seemed.
"Nicely done."
Odork held Goran up.
"It's my honor to do this for my lord."
Goran gave a weak smile.
Both of them spoke softly, the others couldn't hear them. More precisely, everyone was captivated by the scene on the monitor.
A moment later, the crowd screamed.
The black figure that shrouded the quiet night sky of Alkender City was like a meteor falling from the sky, crashing down.
The black figure on the monitor didn't step back.
He flew up to the sky.
