Chapter 218. The Butterfly Attempting Revival (2)

Ruin grabbed the fallen Ruins Wayne by the shoulder and glared at him for a long while.

There was no presence. His breathing had completely stopped, and it was quiet as if even his soul had left his body. Ruin, his veins bulging, spoke.

“…I’ll use Soul Communication again.”

Ruin used the Keeping magic again. He gathered magic power at his fingertips and forcibly knocked on the soul’s door once more.

The Soul Communication magic struck Ruins Wayne’s body. Soon after, a mystical light descended from the sky, but there was still no response.

‘As expected, Soul Communication can only be used once…’

Just as he was about to give up.

[Oh right, make sure to bring the doll you’re supposed to receive from the revolutionary army.]

In an instant, Ruin’s eyes flashed.

He responded?!

Ruin jumped up and asked.

“Hey, what do you mean by that-“

[The number of questions has ended.]

Once again, Ruins Wayne’s corpse went limp.

A vein popped on Ruin’s temple.

“Is this crazy bastard playing around…!”

Ruin grabbed Ruins Wayne by the collar. Ruins Wayne’s body went limp as he was pulled along.

But that was only for a moment, as the dead Ruins Wayne’s body slowly turned its head-

[Oh right, get me the limited edition Alice too.]

Thud.

After saying only what he wanted to say, Ruins Wayne returned to being a corpse again. Ruin grabbed him by the collar and shook him, but-

Silence-

“…”

Ruin’s hands trembled.

“Damn it… This bastard, I should just!”

Echo, who witnessed this scene, covered her mouth as if she was dying of laughter.

“Your expression right now looks like a complete murderer. You’d do well even if you joined our Assassination Class.”

Ruin gritted his teeth.

“…This bastard is more infuriating when he’s dead than when he was alive.”

* * *

A sealed space.

The Five Evils had gathered in one place.

In the sphere floating in the sky, the figures of the Imperial Princess and Judith, candidates for Mage King, were reflected small.

Catalun the Disease spoke with a beautiful yet chilling smile.

“Two Mage King candidates… now they’re in our grasp. With just one cough, one fever… let’s see how long they can endure?”

Then Alnair, the authority of death, responded in a low voice while crossing his arms.

“Good. We’ll create a Mage King and steal the Demon Emperor’s power.”

The Demon Emperor.

One day, the Pope who suddenly appeared brought a child among the demon race.

The Demon Race, whose leader was absent, were immediately convinced that one of the two would become the new emperor of the Demon Race. So the demon race leaders who flocked from various places each bestowed power that could be called a blessing.

‘Natasha and Lisha.’

Hoping that one of the two would become their leader.

The problem was that each demon race leadership layer split in two over the two sisters.

‘Natasha is the Demon Emperor.’

‘Lisha is the true Demon Emperor.’

However, there were overwhelmingly more supporters for Natasha. Natasha was Ruin’s Master. The Five Evils also supported this side.

But ultimately, Lisha became the Demon Emperor. Although their abilities were evenly matched, Lisha was more ruthless. After disposing of his Master like that, Lisha became the Demon Emperor.

Meanwhile, for the Five Evils who had originally supported Natasha, Ruin’s Master, as the Demon Emperor, there was no way they would be pleased with the current Demon Emperor.

“Still, what Demon Emperor Lisha did well was finding an excellent talent called Fire Butterfly.”

Demon Emperor Lisha recognized the power of one ‘young demon beast’ who had enlisted in the military and threw him to Natasha.

“Though Ruin did kill Natasha after that.”

“It’s fine. Just awakening the Power of Misfortune was profitable.”

“Right. Fire Butterfly’s power is truly useful. And we’re holding his leash too.”

They seemed to see this gap without a Demon Emperor as an opportunity.

In the past, the Five Evils deliberately unleashed Ruin’s Power of Misfortune to test his abilities.

That power, which would normally have stopped at level 1, instantly reached level 5, resulting in the death of Ruin’s Master, Natasha.

But that was all part of the Five Evils’ scheme. They had planned from the beginning to make Ruin a Special Grade Wanted Criminal. Using the justification that Ruin had attacked the Demon Emperor’s blood relative.

Well, they never imagined that Natasha would actually die in the process. Still, being able to put a leash on a Monster King with such power through that incident was profitable.

“Well, a Mage King could probably remove Fire Butterfly’s leash, but…”

There’s no way they’d let that happen.

And Fire Butterfly?

“Fire Butterfly can’t use magic anyway. He can’t even remove his collar.”

“He’s in our grasp for life.”

* * *

“I’ll cure the Professor’s illness! Don’t follow me!”

“What are you talking about. I’ll cure him!”

The ruins.

Princess Karin and Princess Judith glared at each other. As soon as they heard the news of Ruin’s terminal condition, they were struggling to find a cure for it.

The ruins they found were the temple ruins where an ancient healing god was said to reside. It was a miraculous ruins that could cure any disease.

Although the two had come here fighting, their goal was ultimately the same. To cure Ruins’ illness, that one thing.

As the two were bickering, the ancient patterns drawn on the ceiling glowed faintly.

“This is…?”

As Karin frowned, sweet laughter spread through the air.

It was the Five Evils.

“Hehe… Two Mage King candidates, let us test your desires.”

Let’s make one of the two into the Mage King to steal the Demon Emperor’s power, and tighten Ruin’s collar even more. To make Ruin’s power of misfortune their own.

Of course, there were voices of concern.

“We failed when we tried that with Natasha.”

“That’s a separate issue. Both the Princess and the Imperial Princess are Union humans to begin with. Will those two listen to us? What if they plot rebellion instead?”

“They both like Fire Butterfly. We can use that to corrupt them.”

Soon Catalun the Disease snapped his fingers, and the entire ruins rippled like a mirror and transformed into an illusion.

What unfolded before their eyes was a classroom. Ruin stood at its center. However, standing before him was not herself, but Judith.

“The qualification of Mage King is yours.”

Ruin acknowledged Judith like that.

In an instant, brilliant light burst from Judith’s body. She wore a new crown, and Ruin smiled with satisfaction.

Karin reached out her hand.

“Professor, what about me…!”

However, Ruin never looked at her even once.

Her heart sank heavily. Karin’s eyes wavered, and black patterns seeped into the back of her hand.

“I want… that power too.”

Meanwhile, what unfolded before Judith was a grand wedding hall. White petals scattered, and bells rang.

Ruin was standing there. However, the one standing beside him was Princess Karin.

The Pope, who was officiating, said.

“Now you two are husband and wife.”

Judith sat alone in the guest seats, clapping. Ruin’s smile was directed only at Karin.

Judith’s eyes grew hot with tears. Into her heart that was growing cold, black patterns slowly spread.

When the illusion lifted, both candidates’ eyes were coldly frozen. Black patterns had spread equally on the backs of their hands. Their breath trembled coldly.

The Five Evils watching this from afar.

“Humans are simple after all. Touch their desires, and they step into darkness themselves.”

“Good. Now use that to return to Haven and make Fire Butterfly’s misfortune ability explode.”

It was a recreation of when Natasha died.

* * *

As soon as Ruin returned to class, he received cheers as if a hero had returned.

As soon as the classroom door opened, students swarmed in and poured out questions. Some even had tears in their eyes.

But Ruin himself was gritting his teeth.

‘That damn Ruins Wayne.’

The reason was simple. That bastard had woken Ruin up in the middle of the night.

Right. When he was leisurely resting in his dreams, a corpse suddenly poked its head out from the shadows at his feet, breathing rotten breath.

Dead eyes faced Ruin directly.

[Save the ultra-limited edition Alice.]

A corpse, and one that he had killed himself, was asking him to save a doll in the middle of the night? His spine had been chillingly cold, wondering if this was what horror felt like.

There was something even stranger.

Soul Communication is originally a spell that awakens the soul of the dead to hear answers to three questions. However, the soul can only answer questions, and cannot freely say what it wants to say.

But Ruins Wayne had thrown out what he wanted to say without even being asked a question, then disappeared.

There was only one possibility—

‘Because he still possesses the abilities of the Mage King.’

But that was even more of a mystery.

‘Didn’t he give up the Mage King’s abilities?’

He thought the Mage King’s power had gone to Judith and Karin. But if the Mage King’s power was much more enormous than that, and some of it still remained…

「I told you that you could become the Mage King after all!」

At Ginseng Superior’s words, Ruin sighed.

‘What would I do by becoming the Mage King?’

No, that’s not even the issue.

‘I can’t use magic.’

It was thanks to Ruins Wayne’s abilities that he could teach magic to the students.

For example, he had become able to teach things like Impact Healing or Flame Kill Magic to some degree, and that was also thanks to Ruins’ “Everyone But Me Should Die” activating and unleashing spell techniques like crazy.

‘Hah… That damn dog Ruins Wayne…’

It was just as he was grinding his teeth like that.

Bang!

Suddenly the floor shook and a coffin sprouted up in front of the podium with a whoosh. The lid even creaked open, and a pale hand stuck out.

It was ‘Ruins Wayne’ that Ruin had stuffed into the coffin because it was too hideous.

“Kyaaaah! A, a coffin?!”

“Isn’t that a person’s hand?!”

The students all climbed onto their chairs in unison and screamed.

Ruin pressed his temples firmly.

“…Fuck, why did I bother putting this bastard in a coffin.”

The voice of the dead echoed from inside the coffin.

[Doll… save… Alice…]

The students trembled as they looked at Ruin.

“P, Professor… What is that?”

Ruin cleared his throat with a cough.

“…Actually, I’ve been researching zombies lately.”

“Z, zombies?!”

“D, don’t tell me it’s to cure your terminal condition…?”

“You’re going to become undead…?!”

No, fuck. That’s not it.

Before Ruin could object, the corpse twisted its body again and spoke.

[Limited edition Alice… must have…]

At that moment, Ginseng Superior poked his head out from the pocket.

[But you know. If it’s a doll he’s obsessing over even after becoming a corpse… isn’t it something incredibly important? Like maybe it can stop regression… or make you the Demon Emperor…]

Ruin said coldly and curtly.

“No way. It’s just a degenerate’s taste-“

But Ruin stopped speaking.

…No, really, could it actually be a truly special doll?
