Creeeeeeak!
The sealed doors open at long last, as a gust passes through his face.
Everything looked different and felt odd,
Eerie yet majestic, mysterious yet magnificent.
So I guess this is the throne room or its outer area?
I can't seem to detect the presence of any monsters but Athena surely detects the source of all the distortion close.
So I guess I have to move forward until I find the king.
As he took his next step to walk, a flurry of fiery blasts came at his feet with the voice of a woman shouting from above.
"Halt!"
After climbing all the way up, I finally heard a voice that was not a groan of a monster or an undead repeating about defending over and over again, but of an actual living person.
I was happy to hear the feminine voice but it seemed like the voice wasn't happy to see me.
So I responded, "Hey! Don't attack me, I'm friendly so can we talk?"
"Where are you? Are you stuck in this place like me too? We can leave together; I've slain all the monsters, and I'm going to beat the one who sealed this place and leave."
The feminine voice furiously replies, "You impertinent fool! How could a mere mortal like you find this place? It was you, who made all the sigils disappear."
I replied... "Huh!? What sigils? Is something wrong with you? Don't you wanna leave this damned place?"
The voice replied, "Silence mortal, know your place. You're speaking to a demon queen. None can enter or leave this place. Its doors to the outside will never open."
With a smug, I replied, "A demon queen who can't even show her face? My ass."
In a flash, she appeared showing her elegant wings, winter white hair, scarlet eyes, enchanting horns, and skin so fair, that even the moon would be jealous of her beauty.
With great displeasure, she stares at me, while I admire her beauty.
I give her a greeting saying, "...Hi!" as she punches me right in the gut.
Owwwww! Aughh... what's wrong with you, I just said hi.
At least, show me the way to the King, I don't wanna fight I just want to ask him to let me leave this place, someone teleported me here by mistake.
"Listen mortal... I don't believe you, not a single soul has entered this place ever since the war. There is no king, nor do I believe someone teleported you here by mistake. I do not know your ploy or how you got into this place, but the doors of this place will never be open as long as I'm alive."
"If you want to stay alive then wander of this place forever, until you die from hunger, I'll keep protecting this place from outsiders like you."
With a slight smile and irritation, I whispered in front of her... "From hunger once again?"
She replied, "Once again? What do you mean by once again?"
I responded, "Death does not exist for me, nor the hunger. You're protecting a place that doesn't even exist in history books, believing you're doing the right job but you were only causing suffering to those outside of this room wandering saying just two words to defend.
You didn't grant them the peace that you should've provided them, you made them suffer until they lost their sanity. So don't expect me to believe you're doing some duty while torturing the people who chose to remain loyal to this place.
