Chapter 1093

“Uh…”

I scratched my head as I watched Lunan Slion and Sloth fall asleep simultaneously, as if competing with each other.

“What… what is this?”

Normally I wouldn’t have responded to Wrath’s words, but faced with this unexpected situation, I couldn’t help but speak.

‘Why are they not saying anything and just falling asleep right away!’

I had explained the situation to Sloth beforehand, so I thought he would either hand over sloth to me after talking with Lunan Slion, or refuse. I never expected them to fall asleep without saying a word.

‘Is this how Sloth’s trial works?’

I turned to look at Wrath with vacant eyes.

-Even the True Demon King doesn’t know!

Wrath waved his hand as if telling me not to ask him.

-Now that I see it, that guy isn’t just sleepy—he’s completely insane!

He gnashed his teeth, declaring he would no longer treat Sloth as a Demon Lord.

‘Still, at least I wasn’t rejected.’

I exhaled a sigh of relief.

‘Given Sloth’s nature, he would refuse immediately if something displeased him.’

Sloth was leisurely and composed, but he spoke his mind clearly when necessary. The fact that he said nothing and fell asleep meant he definitely sensed something in Lunan Slion.

‘Lunan Slion should be able to pass.’

Among everyone I knew, there was no one who slept more than Lunan Slion. Even Rimer, who had some skill in laziness, couldn’t compete with Lunan Slion when it came to sleep.

“Um….”

Dorian approached Raon cautiously, gauging his reaction.

“Is Sloth, the Demon Lord of Sloth, testing Lunan Slion right now?”

Having overheard the conversation, he smacked his lips with curiosity.

“Seems like it.”

I nodded while watching Lunan Slion and Sloth, both snoring softly in their sleep.

“S-so when does this end?”

Dorian scratched his cheek as if that were the most pressing concern.

“From what I know, once Lunan Slion settles in to sleep, nothing can wake her—not even if someone carried her away. And that Demon Lord didn’t wake once during the entire month of your training!”

His jaw trembled at the thought that we might end up spending another month here.

“Hmm….”

I furrowed my brows, watching Lunan Slion sleeping while wrapped in her blanket.

“Still, Lunan Slion is human, so she should wake up after two days or so, shouldn’t she?”

Sloth, being the Demon Lord of Sloth, had no limits to his sleep, but Lunan Slion was human and couldn’t possibly sleep that long.

“That’s true. Human sleep has its limits.”

Evelyn gently stroked Lunan Slion’s sleeping face with the back of her hand—the face of someone sleeping as innocently as a child. Strangely, there seemed to be considerable force behind her touch.

‘Come to think of it….’

I narrowed my eyes as I observed Evelyn.

‘Could I connect Evelyn to Rust the same way I did with Lunan Slion and Sloth?’

Rather than Rust’s power of Lust, using her characteristic obsession to forge a connection between the two seemed feasible.

Tack.

As I recalled Rust and smacked my lips, the Sword Emperor and War King climbed to the peak of the Sturrin Mountains.

Beside them stood a golden-haired handsome young man with his shoulders drooping—it appeared to be the Gold Dragon Paratheos transformed into human form.

“Hmm?”

The Sword Emperor’s eyes widened as she spotted Lunan Slion sleeping beside Sloth.

“It seems we’ve gained a cute new companion?”

She smiled faintly, finding Lunan Slion’s sleeping form adorable.

“This child is remarkably strong for such a young age.”

The War King exhaled softly, sensing Lunan Slion’s power.

“Zigheart truly seems to harbor only monsters.”

He nodded in admiration, impressed by Lunan Slion just as he had been by me.

“Forget that human—look at that one!”

The Gold Dragon Paratheos pointed at Sloth with trembling fingers.

“That’s the Demon Lord of Sloth! He’s sleeping in a way no human could ever manage—make sure you remember this clearly!”

His golden eyes gleamed as if he had already discerned Sloth’s true identity.

“Here we go again!”

The Sword Emperor frowned and struck the back of Paratheos’s head.

“I told you to stop.”

The War King also pushed Paratheos’s mouth shut, signaling him to be quiet.

Blurgh!

Paratheos took simultaneous blows to the back of his head and mouth, crumpling forward as his face crashed into the ground.

“Ugh….”

Even as he groaned, he refused to tear his gaze away from Sloth.

“You’ll see! You’ll understand! Everything I’m saying is absolutely correct!”

Paratheos shrieked, insisting he would not look away from Sloth.

“Sigh, my apologies.”
“I have nothing to say to our lord.”

The Sword Emperor and War King bowed their heads, lamenting that the dragon had been raised incorrectly.

“No.”

I watched Paratheos, whose eyes gleamed with conviction, and curved my lips upward.

“If we observe as he says, the misunderstanding will be resolved.”

Five days had passed since Lunan Slion and Sloth fell asleep. They had not awakened once, breathing only in shallow, faint whispers.

“See! I told you I was right!”

Paratheos stamped his foot, glaring at Sloth.

“Have you ever seen a human sleep for five days without being unconscious or injured?”

He clenched his fists, now certain that Sloth was indeed a Demon Lord.

“Don’t stop me now! I’m going to annihilate that creature….”
“Hey.”

The Sword Emperor’s kind and gentle face crumpled like a starving beast.

“Are your glittering eyes so dazzled you can’t see the child beside him?”

She growled, pointing to Lunan Slion sleeping on the opposite side of Sloth.

“What?”

Paratheos blinked as if he didn’t understand what she meant.

“Paratheos.”

The War King sighed and stepped beside Paratheos.

“What does that child appear to be to you?”

He pointed at Lunan Slion with his finger.

“A human, obviously.”

Paratheos frowned as if questioning why he was asking something so obvious.

“Then do you know how long the child has been sleeping?”
“Since we arrived, so… five days… wait!”

Only then did he realize that Lunan Slion and Sloth had slept for the same duration, and his mouth fell open in shock.

“A human who has slept for five days without any illness is right before your eyes. How do you explain this?”

The War King tilted his chin, challenging him to explain with that clever mouth of his.

“This… this doesn’t make sense…?”

Paratheos gasped, staring at Lunan Slion.

“What is he that he sleeps like that! How can a human sleep for five days!”

He clutched his head, unable to comprehend Lunan Slion.

“….”

I didn’t say anything, but I agreed with Paratheos’s sentiment.

‘I didn’t know Lunan Slion could sleep like that either.’

I’d thought she’d wake up on her own after a couple of days, but she’d been sleeping for five days straight without waking once. It was as if Lunan Slion had ceased to be human.

“Let’s start over again.”

The Sword Emperor tapped Paratheos with a gentle tone.

“Who is that anyway?”

She pointed her finger at Lunan Slion.

“She’s… human, right? But is she really human?”

Paratheos’s voice trembled with uncertainty.

“Yes! She’s human! I’m sure of it!”

He nodded, insisting that despite her excessive sleeping, she was definitely human.

“What about him?”

The Sword Emperor pointed her finger at Sloth.

“A… a Demon Lord? No, is he human…? I don’t know….”

Because of Lunan Slion, Paratheos’s eyes began to waver as he became confused about Sloth’s true identity.

“Get it together! That’s a Demon Lord. Definitely a Demon Lord!”

He slapped his own cheek and shouted at Sloth again that he was a Demon Lord.

Whoosh!

The Sword Emperor kicked Paratheos’s rear with her foot. This time, considerable force was behind it.

“Aaaargh!”

Paratheos leaped into the air, clutching his rear end.

“This won’t do. You need to be disciplined.”

The Sword Emperor wrapped her forearm around Paratheos’s neck.

“I’ll educate you so thoroughly you’ll call the sun the moon.”

She muttered something about him looking forward to it, then leaped down the mountain with Paratheos in tow.

“My apologies. I shall ensure he receives a proper education this time.”

The War King bowed respectfully and followed the Sword Emperor down the mountain.

“Aaaaaaaaargh!”

Not long after the two and the dragon descended the mountain, a bone-chilling scream echoed up.

-Oof…

Wrath peered down the mountainside and furrowed his brow.

-This is the first time I’ve felt pity for a lizard.

He shook his head, saying the creature had gone beyond being a pushover into something pitiable.

-You knew this would happen, didn’t you?
‘Of course.’

I nodded with a smile.

‘I believed Lunan Slion would hold her ground. Though I never expected it to last five days.’

I had anticipated that thanks to Lunan Slion, my suspicions about Sloth would be cleared, but five days far exceeded my expectations.

“Lunan Slion really is something fierce…”

Dorian shook his head as he watched Lunan Slion. He had set up a large camp and was lying in a warm bed munching on candy, but it seemed he had finally adapted to everything.

“Right. It’s not even a sleep spell, but can a person really sleep that much?”

Evelyn tilted her head in amazement at Lunan Slion’s sleeping habits.

“I wish she would wake up now.”

It was then that I let out a short sigh.

“Mmm….”

Lunan Slion slowly lifted her eyelids.

“I want to eat pearl ice cream….”

She smacked her lips and blinked her dazed eyes.

“Dorian.”

I gestured to Dorian.

“Yes!”

Dorian, as if he had been waiting, pulled out pearl ice cream from his ship’s pouch and brought it to Lunan Slion.

“Thank you….”

Lunan Slion nodded and immediately began eating the pearl ice cream. Watching her, it truly seemed she had woken up solely because she wanted to eat pearl ice cream.

‘Looking at it this way, she really doesn’t seem human.’

After sleeping for five days and waking up to eat pearl ice cream, Lunan Slion seemed even stranger than Sloth.

“Did you always sleep this long?”

I tilted my head and approached Lunan Slion’s side.

“It’s cool here, so I sleep well….”

Lunan Slion displayed a faint smile, saying she had slept properly for the first time in ages. For her, it was an extraordinarily significant expression of emotion.

‘Could she have been influenced by Sloth beside her? If so….’

I narrowed my eyes as I observed Lunan Slion’s blank pupils.

Shhhhh!

Sloth pushed back the blanket that had covered even his head and rose leisurely from the bed.

Thunk!

Lunan Slion set down the ice cream she had been eating and slowly sat up.

“….”
“….”

Without exchanging a word, Lunan Slion and Sloth approached each other. Standing face to face, they both extended their right hands toward one another.

Crack!

A satisfying high-five. Lunan Slion and Sloth clapped their hands together with intensity, as if celebrating a restful sleep.

Wrath uttered just a single remark upon witnessing this.

-Pathetic….

*

*

*

“Truly… it existed….”

Sloth nodded heavily.

“A human… like me….”

He gazed at Lunan Slion with eyes brimming with benevolence.

“You’ve been sleeping too, haven’t you…?”

Lunan Slion blinked, remarking that she’d never met anyone who could match her sleep schedule. She too was acknowledging Sloth.

“What is… your name…?”

Sloth tilted his chin toward Lunan Slion.

“Lunan Slion…”

Lunan Slion swallowed a spoonful of pearl ice cream in one bite before revealing her name.

“Lunan Slion… What is… your goal…?”

Sloth unexpectedly asked about Lunan Slion’s objective first.

“I haven’t finished what I need to do yet…”

Lunan Slion smoothed the blanket and bit her lip.

“I want to give that person peace, and then sleep deeply…”

She nodded, saying that even after sleeping for five days, she wanted to sleep properly.

‘That person must be…’

I observed Lunan Slion’s slightly darkened complexion and exhaled a short sigh.

‘Siria Slion, surely.’

Siria Slion’s corpse and helmet had vanished, and the Black Market and Bi-Yeon Society had discovered traces of the Evil Goat Demon wearing the goat’s helmet.

Since Baphomet, the monster, possessed the characteristic of two lives, Siria would certainly still be alive.

Lunan Slion seemed to want to definitively kill the resurrected Siria Slion and grant him peace.

“Vessel of Wrath…”

Sloth turned his gaze slowly toward me, his eyes settling on my form.

“I acknowledge it… This human possesses… the qualifications….”

He nodded, affirming that Lunan Slion was indeed a human capable of accepting the power of Sloth.

“I told you so. It would work.”

I laughed, placing my hand on Lunan Slion’s shoulder.

“Lunan Slion…. I shall… bestow upon you… my power…. Will you accept it…?”

Sloth nodded, leaving the decision entirely to Lunan Slion’s judgment.

“I’ll accept it.”

Lunan Slion gazed at me intently before nodding with composure. Despite receiving the power of a Demon Lord, she showed not a trace of fear.

“Sloth… shall aid your will… your desires….”

As Sloth flicked his fingers, a black flower bracelet identical to mine bloomed upon Lunan Slion’s wrist.

“It’s the same as Raon’s…?”

Lunan Slion touched the black flower bracelet, a faint smile crossing her lips.

“Huh? Wait!”

Evelyn’s eyes widened as she witnessed the scene.

“Hey! Demon Lord! Give me one too! Hand over an identical bracelet right now!”

She seized Sloth by the collar and shook him, demanding he produce the same bracelet for her.

“Ahhhhh! Stop it!”

Dorian cried out that the Demon Lord was going berserk, grabbing Evelyn’s arm to restrain her.

“Haa…. You… lack the qualifications….”

Sloth yawned deeply despite being shaken by Evelyn’s grip on his collar, as if sleep was still calling to him.

-My, my head aches.

Wrath sighed while clutching his forehead.

-There is not a single soul here with sound judgment….
‘Indeed.’

Lunan Slion was a monster that slept for five days straight, Evelyn had seized the Demon King’s collar demanding a bracelet, and Dorian was dragging Evelyn away. It was truly a dizzying sight.

“How do you use this…?”

Lunan Slion asked Sloth about the bracelet’s usage.

“That bracelet is… connected not only to me… but also to Wrath’s vessel…. You need only… live as you normally do…. That should suffice….”

Sloth nodded, saying that if Lunan Slion continued sleeping as she was now, she would grow stronger on her own.

“Really…?”

Lunan Slion’s mouth opened wide in surprise.

“Wow…!”

She bounced like a rabbit, more delighted than ever before.

“So I really only need to sleep…?”
“Sleeping alone… would be far better… than training all day by yourself….”

Sloth nodded, telling her to simply keep sleeping as she was.

“Then I’ll go to sleep right now….”

Despite having only recently awakened, Lunan Slion wrapped herself in the blanket again, insisting she would sleep.

“Sleep later! Not now!”

I sighed and stopped Lunan Slion in that moment.

[You have achieved a legendary Achievement!]
[You have received a covenant of master and servant from the transcendent beings in seclusion.]
[You have gained the recognition of Sloth and connected a new medium.]
[All stat values….]
[Traits….]

The dimension split apart as blue messages began flooding my vision, so numerous they obscured everything before my eyes.

-Grrrgh! You… there are way too many of these….

Wrath, exhausted from reading the reward messages, began foaming at the mouth like a crab on a mudflat.

‘Looking at this….’

Rather than reading the messages, I curled my lips upward watching Wrath collapse in shock.

‘I’m curious what Grandfather’s expression would be.’

How many gold medals could I receive?
