Abandoned Priest at the Hero’s Party

Epirna

For eons, he thought he had conquered everything he could conquer.

But I found out I was wrong. The man was just thinking about it these days.

It is neither the country nor the people that he wants to conquer.

truth. Rule. and power. technology. Whatever it is that he can reach, he has finally trained. In terms of personal strength and wisdom, he was superior to anyone on the continent.

But that’s not happy at all,

Because we now know how small the continent is.

‘All the colors of this world have disappeared.’

It was only a brief moment, but everyone lost their color. How was that possible?

Perhaps it is a natural phenomenon. Except for Mother Nature, no one he knows could do such a thing.

It was difficult to even guess if they had made everyone colorblind for a while, or if they had really deprived them of color. That’s something no one has ever experienced.

I’ve lived a long, long time, but I’ve never even experienced anything similar. Could it be that the primordial body did something? However, in the course of many cycles, this did not happen.

“Grimudou.”

When he was hardened like a stone and was thinking about one thing, a woman came to him. She is a woman with dignified and dignified momentum like a white tiger walking on a snowy field.

But when she faced Grimudo, she knelt first. He did not bow down because he was defeated by force. The woman truly respected the Demon King.

“The operation was successful. I don’t know how to thank you.”

“Do you have any regrets? There is still a path open for you as a divinity. But if you want to walk the path you’ve given up once again, you’ll need more effort this time.”

“I wish for your path and no one else, my lord.”

Tigers do not know obedience. It is a tiger that does not obey even its own kind.

It wasn’t that he succumbed to such a tiger with a whip. I made myself kneel.

The woman has always been arrogant since she was a girl, and she didn’t even care about her biological parents. The only person she has feelings of respect in her life is the Demon King.

She believed that she had something in common with that demon king.

“At first, you came to me saying you wanted to become a monster god. Why did you just change your mind to a monster in the end?”

“Because the Demon King did not walk such a path.”

While prostrated, the woman answered immediately. There was no hesitation, no lies.

The Demon King laughed. Surely, he could have become a god at any time. But he kicked every opportunity. It was an opportunity that an ordinary person could not get, and it was an opportunity, but he always refused it with his own hands.

He even took off his divinity and created a reaper, Modrig. It was only when he saw that appearance that even the tiger changed his mind. He thought that there must be a good reason for the Demon King to reject the divine so much.

“I just want to follow your path.”

“Epirna. Are you happy to be a monster?”

“At first there was some hesitation, but now I just regret it all. If I had known it was this good, I would have done it sooner.”

“But do not forget that it is only the beginning.”

The Demon King himself is also a body reconstructed from ancient cells. The reason that he was immune from circulation and that he was able to live for eternity was because he had the body of a monster.

That is one of the reasons he does not reject the title of Demon King. If the person who even does this to escape the limit of lifespan is not the Demon King, then who in the world deserves to be called the Demon King?

Because of that, he had the right to advise Epirna. The tiger meekly prostrated and heeded the advice of the demon king.

“No matter how great your abilities may seem, what is truly meaningful is eternal life. Keep in mind that there is only one. It was an opportunity to get out of the time limit and practice infinitely. Being qualified to search for the truth regardless of age. It just means that.”

The abilities and wisdom he has now did not come from turning his body into a monster. They are all things that you have earned through hard work.

In his opinion, Epirna just earned the right to put in the effort. The world is not equal, and qualifications are not equal. Epirna only obtained her qualifications by turning herself into a monster.

On the other hand, elves received such qualifications just by being born under the blessing of the World Tree. The Demon King had something to look forward to at first. He believed that eternal life brings endless progress.

However, they were drunk with their lifespan and corrupted, and they reached the point of no return. While repeating the cycle several times, he was only able to hide the truth, hiding in the shadow of the World Tree and passing the crisis over. There were no creative results.

The Demon King was ultimately disappointed and erased the World Tree from the world.

Because I thought it would be better to die than to lose my motivation and inquisitiveness.

“I will listen to the words carefully.”

This woman, who has never lost her politeness, once longed for a throne. A god that encompasses all beasts. Could do anything to make it happen.

It was a time when I still wanted to maintain my identity as a tiger.

They caught mice, suppressed foxes, drove out wolves, and subjugated dogs and cats. The lion completely destroyed it. After that, he established a beast kingdom, ascended to the throne, and gathered the people’s faith to become a god. However, while I was working on the groundwork, a desire arose.

‘If you become a god, how about becoming a god with the body of a monster?’

He confirmed with his own eyes the abilities of the monster borrowed from the Demon King. It was natural to think like this.

For that, he joined hands with that demon king. With the help of the demon king, who felt intrigued, he aimed to become a god with the body of a monster.

But at some point, I started to wonder. Why the hell do I have to be God?

‘There was a time when I thought so, too.’

God cannot exist without believers. Being a god seems great at first glance, but without a believer, you cannot use any power. He is in a position to pray that he will not be destroyed, let alone power.

Although the Shinigami is a bit unusual, they also live parasitized by the evil thoughts of mortals. The tiger didn’t like it.

He is a good-natured god, and in reality, he has to depend on inferiors to live. I didn’t want to. Of all the beasts, the tiger is the strongest but the loneliest.

It has the strongest power, but there are few. The temper is bad and the pride is strong. A wolf has a sense of kinship, but a tiger has none of that. Rather, they see their kin as a threat.

Even my own people see it that way, not to mention other races. It is God who lives on the beliefs of other races. After realizing that fact, Epirna changed her mind.

Instead of being a god, I wanted to become a perfect monster.

A self-existent being is a tiger. It is the monster that has reached the ultimate in the strength of the individual.

The woman longed for a monster. The Demon King readily granted that wish. Epirna wanted to become a second self, which was very interesting for the Demon King.

first and second. There is, however, a significant difference. There is a significant difference between performing surgery on yourself and performing surgery on others.

When he himself became a monster, even the demon lord lacked experience. Now, he is a full-fledged expert who has created many monsters. Therefore, there was a significant difference in the experience of the operator.

The result is a masterpiece right before your eyes. Epirna was really satisfied with her newly transformed body. This is because, unlike the first procedure, which was the most conservative approach as it was the first time as a Demon King, all kinds of new technologies were mobilized in the procedure for Epirna.

“Now, there are few things that can harm you except for me and dragons on this land. Even the Phoenix guy wouldn’t be that easy.”

It is a masterpiece among masterpieces created by adding the magical knowledge that has been accumulated so far. It was more proud than when I made the mod league. With a powerful magical barrier wrapped around its body, a terrifying monster that cannot injure a single hair by ordinary means was born.

‘By the way, what the hell is he doing? You’ve been away from home for a little while this time.’

You’re probably sleeping in a volcano somewhere. I didn’t even think to look for it.

Even if you search for a dog that has left home, worrying about it, it is enough to wait for the tiger who has left the house to come back on its own. If Phoenix has harmed others, he has done it, isn’t he the one to be harmed by others?

“Greetings. I… no, no. I will tell you what I want a little later.”

The woman whose smile did not disappear from her mouth once again bowed and left. She probably didn’t know that, but she chose the right answer without realizing it.

A monster is a better choice than you might think, even if you look at all the characteristics including superpower, but only one eternal life. At least, no monster has ever died of old age.

Epirna will also be able to live a life close to eternal life. And the second thing, which is important, is that the moment you become a monster, you are immune from circulation.

The primordial body perceives the monster as a part of it. That is, it is not subject to circulation.

Being able to survive a cataclysm in which everything changes is not just an advantage, it is a way of survival. The tiger unwittingly chose the only way to survive.

‘After all, I couldn’t tell you.’

In the basement of the North Pole Citadel, there is a gate that connects to your castle. The tiger standing in front of the gate glanced back as if regretful. Again, the Demon King did not come to see her off.

‘But someday, surely…’

Leaving a deep regret, she jumped over the gate. There were no big worries. While I was away from the country for a while, I wondered if there was something wrong with me.

Now, the beast kingdom was not important to her at all. If you prosper, you prosper, and if you fail, you perish. He overcame it and obtained the right to spend eternity with the Demon King.

Indeed, it was not until many years later that she knew exactly what she wanted. It is neither a king nor a god.

I won half of it today, so I’m just waiting for the day when I can win the other half.
