Chereads / Realm of Shadows: The Enchanted Dungeon / Chapter 14 - 14.- Demon King

Chapter 14 - 14.- Demon King

Sebastian was bewildered after hearing the mention of "demon kings" from the system. Intrigued and eager to get answers, he asked Aurora to ask all the questions.

Aurora: "System, I need to know what these 'demon kings' you're talking about exactly are. Can you explain it to me?"

The system remained silent for a moment before responding.

[In the vast and enigmatic multiverse that extends beyond our comprehension, there is an infinite number of constantly expanding universes.]

Aurora, surprised by the answer, continued with more questions. "How is that possible? Are the universes conscious and competing with each other?"

[Yes, the universes are conscious entities and yet without consciousness at the same time. They have a voracious and competitive nature, constantly seeking growth and dominance. This competition drives them to devour each other in a fierce cosmic game.]

Fascinated by the explanation, Aurora couldn't contain her curiosity. "So, how do they fight? You just said they're not conscious, so how do they engage in battles?"

[The universes have developed a defense mechanism: the 'Heroes of Humanity' and the 'Transmigrators.' These individuals are selected from different worlds and endowed with special gifts. Their purpose is to indirectly protect the balance within each world and, ultimately, maintain the stability of the entire universe.]

Aurora absorbed the information and continued probing. "That sounds incredible! But what about the 'demon kings'? Who are they, and why do they cause chaos and destruction?"

[The 'demon kings' are the attacking mechanism of other universes. They are malevolent beings that take root in invaded worlds, sowing chaos and destruction in their path. They can manifest in various forms, from dungeon masters manipulating terrifying creatures to darkness-infused wild animals, and sometimes even as twisted humans consumed by evil.]

Aurora was impressed by the description of the demon kings and proceeded with her interrogation. "What is their objective? Why do they want to corrupt and destabilize the worlds?"

[The primary objective of the 'demon kings' is to corrupt and destabilize every world they encounter. This paves the way for the invasion and dominance of their own reality. They have the ability to hide their true nature and assume deceptive forms, making them difficult enemies to identify.]

The girl and Sebastian were astounded by the magnitude of the situation.

Sebastian: "Aurora, we must find a way for me to communicate with the system and gather more information. Can you ask if there's any way to do that?"

Aurora nodded and addressed the system with her question.

Aurora: "System, is there a way for Sebastian to talk to you and get direct answers?"

The system responded promptly.

[ I can only respond to members of the dungeon. If 'Sebastian' wishes to speak with me, he must become the dungeon administrator. As the administrator, he will serve as the right-hand of the dungeon master, assisting in its administration. He will have the same privileges as the dungeon master but cannot harm the dungeon master.]

Aurora trusted Sebastian and believed they would work together to uncover more about the demon kings. Without hesitation, she decided to appoint him as the dungeon administrator.

"Sebastian, I hereby appoint you as the dungeon administrator. I hope this helps us get the answers we need."

A gentle golden light enveloped Sebastian as he accepted his new role. When the light dissipated, he felt renewed and ready to face the challenges that awaited them.
