Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 66 – EXISTENCE TOWER AND SYSTEM
At that moment I could feel my consciousness separate from the Rizard body in the memory of that memory.
The scene that I witnessed next was the slaughter of the demon army that was new to Benue Ernoa indiscriminately through Rizard's point of view. Different from the previous one, now I can only watch without being able to participate in it.
Such a cruel massacre. Everything was almost destroyed. The charred smell of corpses smelled so pungent. The sight of an amputated human is no longer an unusual thing to witness. Everything really looks cruel.
Mankind is overcome with despair. Under the leadership of Demon King Ozazil, the demons along with the monsters that came out through the tower slaughtered the human race without the slightest mercy.
In the midst of all that, the union of the kings of the Continent of Ernoa was formed and then handed over to the party Kak Aries on the task of extermination of the Demon King.
With only a 5-member party - Kak Aries himself, Kak Lucas, Kak Ara, Kak Arxena, and Milanda - they embark on a dangerous expedition to the western continent to attack the Demon King's castle.
During the attack of the Demon King and his followers, the true strength of the hero party had been awakened. Brother Aries and Sister Arxena have become grand masters, while Kak Ara and Milanda have become the great sage. As for Kak Lucas, the tanker in his party had also gained the majesty of shield protection.
That was why the union of the kings of the Continent of Ernoa entrusted the fate of the continent to them and tried to provide the optimal support possible through adequate equipment to the party in their expedition to the western continent.
However, it seems that from the beginning Brother Ara thought that it would still be difficult to defeat the Demon King despite the increase in their party's abilities and the extravagant support of the equipment.
That is why, Brother Ara prepared a backup plan in the form of sealing the power of the Demon King if they are unable to eradicate it.
Kak Aries' party also made their first attack on the Demon King's castle, but as expected, their attack completely failed and Ara's sister failed to seal the Demon King prepared.
Thankfully that the five of them were still able to escape safely out completely from the demon lord's castle. However, one thing they did not expect at all. Apparently Rizard, the boy they cared for in their party who had now reached his teenage age, from the very beginning had infiltrated into the luggage and also followed them into the Demon King's castle without them noticing at all.
Thankfully, Rizard was also able to get out of there thanks to his cunning. Brother Ara and Brother Arxena looked at Rizard all out, though, but Lucas and Milanda immediately stopped them because it was not the right time to make a fuss since they were now fugitives wanted by the entire western continent.
The invasion of the Demon King continued to the Continent of Ernoa, while the heroes remained in the western continent because they found no way back. But then, they finally managed to find the existence of the tower.
They entered the tower and it was there that they first came to know an astral figure who called himself a system. I also first met such a person.
With my consciousness floating around the party, I followed them through the tower. Apparently, the tower was a little similar to a dungeon, just that its journey was going upwards instead of getting further underground. And also with something that calls itself a system, since during my adventure to several dungeons, I have never once found such a figure.
But on the eleventh floor, they faced the ancient dragon and Kak Aries' party was destroyed. Or at least that's what I think. But what happened apparently, they just teleported back out of the tower.
Kak Aries party also repeated and continued to repeat to challenge the tower. Unlike Aries, Ara and Milanda, who have now become the great sage after about five years of facing a new demon invasion, prefer to learn the magic structure of the tower.
I also did not understand from that aspect, but it seems that Milanda and Ara managed to reveal the fact that the tower is actually a kind of mana energy collector to keep the existence of creatures in it immortal. And the shocking fact they also discovered that the Demon King had the same existence as the tower.
They were finally in a conclusion that they would not be able to exterminate the Demon King since his life had fused with the tower. The tower must be destroyed first to be able to bring the Demon King to his true death.
They finally found an explanation as to the cause no matter how many times they managed to give the Demon King a fatal wound that should have been enough to kill any living thing as powerful as it was, The Demon King would only rise again many times. It was all because the tower had taken care of his life.
But that does not mean that they can destroy the tower since there is a strong monster boss and even stronger than the Demon King on the eleventh floor of the tower which is an existence that they cannot vanquish.
However, Milanda and Ara never gave up. They continued and continued to study the tower in order to find a way to defeat the Demon King.
In the midst of their despair, all of a sudden, the system rewarded them with the title they obtained after challenging the tower without ceasing despite dying many times.
It was a reward for answering one question whatever it was.
It was clear what the first hero party wanted to ask, how to kill the Demon King.
The system came out with an answer that was almost similar to what Milanda said. Based on the system description, the Demon King was actually an existence on the sixty-sixth floor of the tower which thanks to consuming the existence of the king of the western continent, Ozama, was, he was able to get out of the tower even though he could only use one tenth of a thousand of his strength.
That means, the original body of the Demon King is still in the tower so free if the killed is the body of the doll in the outside world. He would only rise again and again. To actually kill him, it was necessary for them to climb up to the sixty-sixth floor tower and then kill the original body of the Demon King.
Of course, this was impossible for Kak Aries' party at that time since on the eleventh floor only they had been restrained, he said, while they did not have much time left to see the destruction that the Demon King had done to mankind, not only to the Ernoa Continent, but to begin to propagate to the Ifrak Continent as well as the Asium. Moreover, the Demon King they were facing right now was apparently only one-tenth of a thousand of his true strength.
They were ultimately dissolved in despair. However, the system also came up with an alternative way to defeat the Demon King. The Demon King did not need to be killed, just by sealing which was also in line with Kak Ara's previous idea. However, that method requires the sacrifice of five of their lives.
