The party members were still watching me with confused expressions. The expressions showed they didn’t know what the hell was going on. Yoo Jonghyuk was still coughing up blood against the wall.
党员们仍然困惑地看着我。他们的表情表明他们不知道到底发生了什么。柳永玉还在往墙上咳血。
I looked at them for a moment before glancing at the wall of the hall. My appearance was reflected on the polished stone wall.
我看了他们一会儿，然后瞥了一眼大厅的墙壁。我的样子映照在光亮的石墙上。
Black wings sprouted from my shoulders and small horns rose from my head. Traces of demonic energy were imprinted on my skin like a stigma. My body was three or four times larger than usual and the muscles of my whole body were greatly expanded.
黑色的翅膀从我的肩膀上长出来，小小的角从我的头上长出来。恶魔能量的痕迹像污点一样印在我的皮肤上。我的身体比平时大了三四倍，全身的肌肉也大大地膨胀起来。
“T-This is ridiculous!” Why is Dokja-ssi the demon king…?”
“这太荒谬了!”为什么恶魔之王Dokja-ssi...
“What the hell is this? What should we do?”
“这到底是什么?我们该怎么办?”
Yoo Sangah and Lee Jihye shouted.
柳善雅和李智慧喊道。
Jung Heewon, Lee Hyunsung, Lee Gilyoung, Shin Yoosung… even Cho Youngran and Gong Pildu. Everyone was looking at me with shocked expressions.
郑鹤元，李贤成，李吉英，申永成......甚至赵永兰和龚皮尔都。每个人都用震惊的表情看着我。
I watched them and opened my mouth. “From now on, you will have to hunt me.”
我看着他们，张开嘴说:“从现在开始，你必须猎杀我。”
[The first phase of the ’73rd demon king’ will begin.]
[第73代魔王的第一阶段即将开始]
[The attack time limit is 30 minutes.]
[攻击时间限制为30分钟]
“There is no time. Quickly start.”
“没时间了，快点开始吧。”
A formidable energy was flowing through my body. Even if I was passively hit, I couldn’t help wondering if the party members would be able to decrease my health in the given time.
一股强大的能量流过我的身体。即使我被动挨打，我还是忍不住想知道党员是否能在规定的时间内降低我的健康水平。
Jung Heewon and Lee Hyunsung looked at me desperately and cried out. “I don’t want to fight Dokja-ssi!”
郑和元和李贤星绝望地看着我，大声喊道:“我不想和独子打架!”
“I can’t follow your command!”
“我不能听你的命令!”
I could understand their feelings. I would also hesitate if I was in the same situation as them. I deliberately laughed at them.
我能理解他们的感受。如果我和他们处于同样的境地，我也会犹豫。我故意嘲笑他们。
“I don’t know why you’re so serious. Have you forgotten who I am? I am Kim Dokja. I won’t die even when killed.”
“我不知道你为什么这么严肃。你忘了我是谁了吗？我是KimDokja。即使死了我也不会死。”
The innocent Lee Hyunsung was shaken by my words. “…Will you come back to life against this time?”
无辜的李贤星被我的话震惊了。“......你会在这个时候复活吗?”
“Yes.”
“是的。”
“But I heard…!”
“但我听说......!”
“Yoo Jonghyuk was deliberately trying to provoke me.”
“柳永玉是在故意激怒我。”
I didn’t use the Incite skill but conflicted emotions were appearing on the people’s faces. Maybe their trust in me and the burden of attacking me were clashing inside them.
我没有使用煽动的技巧，但矛盾的情绪出现在人们的脸上。也许他们对我的信任和攻击我的负担在他们内心发生了冲突。
“Believe me. This is the most ideal way.”
“相信我，这是最理想的方式。”
The party members would eventually have to attack me. It was because there was no other way. If they didn’t kill me, everyone here would die.
党员们最终不得不攻击我。那是因为没有别的办法。如果他们不杀了我，这里的每个人都会死。
Han Sooyoung was staring at me with scary eyes. I sent a signal to her before she could open her mouth.
韩素英用恐怖的眼神盯着我。她还没来得及开口，我就给她发了个信号。
‘Han Sooyoung.’
韩秀英
Han Sooyoung paled as she read my lips.
韩秀英看了我的唇色，脸色苍白。
‘You are the only one. You have to take charge.’
你是唯一的一个，你必须负起责任
I knew it and Han Sooyoung did as well. The party members were stronger than other incarnations but they weren’t decisive in this situation. On the other hand, Han Sooyoung was faster and more realistic when judging the situation than anyone else here.
我知道，韩素英也知道。党员们比其他化身更强壮，但在这种情况下他们不是决定性的。另一方面，韩素英判断形势的速度比这里的任何人都要快，也更加现实。
“…You are always like this, Kim Dokja.” Han Sooyoung told me through gritted teeth. “Do you think I’m an emotionless monster?”
“你总是这样，金独子。”韩素英咬紧牙关告诉我。“你认为我是一个没有感情的怪物吗?”
Han Sooyoung glanced between me and then the party members. Everyone’s eyes were focused on her. It was as if everything would be decided by her words.
韩秀英在我和其他党员之间扫了一眼。大家的目光都集中在她身上。好像一切都要由她的话来决定。
Han Sooyoung breathed heavily before opening her mouth. “Everybody, wake up. Do you want everyone here to go to hell?”
韩素英喘着粗气，张开嘴说:“大家都醒醒，你们想让这里的人都下地狱吗?”
I smiled. Yes, she was doing well.
我笑了，是的，她做得很好。
“We have to kill Kim Dokja.”
“我们必须杀了KimDokja。”
This was Han Sooyoung.
这是韩素英。
“I don’t want to! I don’t want to! Hyung!”
“我不想!我不想!哥!”
Han Sooyoung grabbed Lee Gilyoung as he ran towards me.
韩素英抓住李吉英朝我跑过来。
“Stupid kid. Listen well.”
“傻孩子，听好了。”
Lee Gilyoung gasped and struggled. Han Sooyoung snarled as she grabbed Lee Gilyoung’s collar.
李吉英喘着气挣扎着，韩素英一边抓住李吉英的领子一边咆哮着。
“Don’t whine. Do you want to die instead of Kim Dokja?”
“不要发牢骚。你想代替金杜佳去死吗?”
“A-Ahhh…”
“啊......”
“The rest of you are the same. You aren’t willing to sacrifice yourself so don’t be a hypocrite. Instead of dying, say thank you and swing your weapons!”
“你们其他人都是一样的。你不愿意牺牲自己，所以不要做一个伪君子。与其等死，不如说声谢谢，然后挥动你的武器!”
Han Sooyoung’s clones, which had grown by dozens, simultaneously opened their mouths.
已经培育出几十个克隆体的韩秀英，同时张开了嘴巴。
“I don’t know if Kim Dokja will come back or not. We will die if we don’t kill him in the next 30 minutes. That is the only thing I need to know.”
“我不知道KimDokja是否会回来。如果我们不在30分钟内杀了他，我们都会死的。这是我唯一需要知道的事情。”
Han Sooyoung’s clones rushed towards me with red eyes. I mouthed towards her, ‘Thank you.’
韩秀英的克隆兵红着眼睛向我冲过来，我对她做了个手势:“谢谢你。”
Han Sooyoung bit her lips until it bled and swung her dagger towards me. The rain of attacks didn’t deal much damage to my body but this was only the beginning.
韩素英咬着嘴唇直到流血，然后用匕首向我挥来。攻击的雨水没有对我的身体造成太大的伤害，但这仅仅是开始。
Yoo Sangah received my gaze and slowly stood up. “Dokja-ssi.”
刘尚雅接受了我的注视，慢慢地站起来。“Dokja-ssi。”
It was hard to know what she had decided as unknown feelings were in her eyes. I nodded in response while being hit by Han Sooyoung.
很难知道她的决定是什么，因为她的眼睛里充满了未知的感情。我被韩秀英打的时候点了点头作为回应。
“I think Dokja-ssi isn’t a person who will hurt others without thinking. Do you have a plan? Did you deliberately direct this scenario?”
“我认为Dokja-ssi不是一个不假思索就会伤害别人的人。你有计划吗？你是故意导演这个场景的吗?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“是的，没错。”
“Really?” Yoo Sangah was crying. “…Should I believe you again? As usual…”
“真的吗?”刘尚雅哭着说。“......我应该再相信你吗?像往常一样......”
I knew this would happen. I was glad to hear it. Yoo Sangah roughly wiped at her tears. She raised her dagger and participated in the battle.
我就知道会这样。我很高兴听你这么说。刘尚雅忍不住擦了擦眼泪。她举起匕首参加了战斗。
Han Sooyoung’s lips twitched. “…I thought you were going to sit back hesitantly and whine.”
韩素英的嘴唇抽动了一下，“......我还以为你会犹豫地坐在后面发牢骚呢。”
“Please be quiet.”
“请安静。”
Han Sooyoung and Yoo Sangah’s daggers placed small wounds on my shoulders and back. However, they were still lacking strength.
韩秀英和刘尚雅的匕首在我的肩膀和背上留下了小伤口，但他们仍然缺乏力量。
The remaining time was 25 minutes. It was a tight amount of time if they wanted to use the formation.
剩下的时间是25分钟，如果他们想利用这个阵型的话，这是一个非常紧迫的时间。
I looked at Lee Hyunsung. “Lee Hyunsung-ssi. Will you let the party members die?”
我看着李贤成。“李贤成。你会让党员死吗?”
“…”
“ ... ”
“Didn’t you say you would never lose the empty cartridge again?”
“你不是说过你再也不会把空弹匣弄丢了吗?”
“D-Dokja-ssi…”
“ D-Dokja-ssi... ”
“This isn’t just one cartridge.”
“这不仅仅是一发子弹。”
Lee Hyunsung’s eyes were shaking like the sea that met the wind.
李贤星的眼睛像迎风的大海一样颤抖着。
[The constellation ‘Master of Steel’ is deeply immersed.]
[《钢铁大师》这个星座沉浸其中。]
Time passed before Lee Hyunsung shouted at the sky. He used Steel Transformation and rushed towards me. The hard body bumped into me and there was a strong shock.
时间过去了，李贤星对着天空喊道。他利用钢铁变形冲向我。那个坚硬的身体撞到我身上，我大吃一惊。
My vision shook slightly. Lee Hyunsung used Great Mountain Smash but he seemed on the defensive rather than attacking me. When would I see the sight of a bearish man weeping again?
我的视线微微颤抖。李贤星使用了高山扣杀，但他似乎处于守势，而不是攻击我。我什么时候才能再看到一个熊人哭泣？
Next was the sound of magic turrets being fired. I laughed when I heard the sound and turned towards that side.
接下来是魔法炮塔开火的声音。当我听到这个声音时，我笑了，转身朝那边走去。
Indeed, this was why I couldn’t hate him. Gong Pildu was frowning as hard as he could as he activated the turrets of Armed Fortress. Of course, I wasn’t just getting hit.
的确，这就是为什么我不能恨他的原因。宫皮度皱着眉头，尽可能激活武装要塞的炮塔。当然，我不仅仅是被打了。
[The probability of the scenario is dominating your body.]
[这种情况的可能性主宰着你的身体]
Regardless of my will, my body would act as the demon king. Of course, the attacks were in perfect patterns so the party members could easily cope.
不管我的意愿如何，我的身体就像是恶魔之王。当然，攻击是完美的模式，所以党员可以轻松应对。
“Everybody, stay awake. Now it is the second phase.”
“各位，保持清醒。现在是第二阶段。”
The second phase of the 73rd demon king was starting. In order to thwart it, special support was needed.
第73代魔王的第二阶段开始了，为了阻止它，需要特别的支持。
“Cho Youngran-ssi.”
“ Cho Youngran-ssi”
Cho Youngran received my gaze and invoked the power of the Mechanical Gateway Array Method.
赵永格兰接受了我的注视，并启用了机械门阵列方法的力量。
As if air was being drained through a ventilator, the demonic energy I was emitting disappeared into the hole she created. Her complexion was rapidly becoming white as she dealt with the energy of the demon king.
就好像空气通过呼吸机被抽干一样，我释放出来的恶魔能量消失在她创造的洞里。当她面对恶魔之王的能量时，她的脸色迅速变得苍白。
Blood spilt from her lips as Cho Youngran told me, “Sookyung-ssi will be sad.”
血从她的嘴唇溢出，赵永祖告诉我，“秀京斯会伤心的。”
“She already knows.”
“她已经知道了。”
My demonic energy dwindled and the party members attacked me again. However, they still lacked damage. I paid attention to those who weren’t participating yet. Lee Jihye bit her lips and finally pulled out her sword. “Ahjussi, don’t take revenge later.”
我的恶魔能量逐渐减少，党员们再次攻击我。然而，它们仍然缺少损伤。我关注那些还没有参与的人。李继惠咬着嘴唇，最后拔出了剑。“大叔，以后不要报仇了。”
“I won’t.”
“我不会。”
Lee Jihye smiled weakly at my words.
李智慧对我的话淡淡地笑了笑。
“…In any case, my attacks are weak and won’t hurt. My constellation is only upper-grade.”
“无论如何，我的攻击力很弱，不会造成伤害。我的星座只是上等的。”
“The Duke of Loyalty and Warfare is not that weak. Jihye will soon discover it.”
“忠诚与战争的公爵并不是那么软弱，智惠很快就会发现的。”
Lee Jihye used Song of the Sword and aimed for my weakness. The attacks overlapped and a tingling sensation started to appear on my skin. The threat was enough. Now I needed people who could deal the finishing blow.
李智慧用《剑歌》来攻击我的弱点。攻击重叠和刺痛的感觉开始出现在我的皮肤。威胁已经足够了。现在我需要的是能够完成最后一击的人。
“Jung Heewon-ssi.”
“ Jung Heewon-ssi。”
As if she had been waiting, Jung Heewon slowly pulled out her sword. “In the old days… do you remember what you asked me?”
就好像她一直在等待，郑熙媛慢慢地拔出她的剑。“在过去......你还记得你问过我什么吗?”
“What?”
“什么?”
“You asked me to be your companion.”
“你让我做你的同伴。”
I remembered. In the Theatre Dungeon, I asked Jung Heewon to be my reliable companion.
我想起来了，在剧院的地牢里，我请郑希元做我可靠的伙伴。
“Now Dokja-ssi is asking your companion to do something like this.”
“现在Dokja-ssi要求你的同伴做这样的事情。”
I was speechless.
我无言以对。
“…What companions?” Jung Heewon raised her sword and ran towards me. “What type of companion has to kill another companion to live?”
“......什么同伴?”郑和元举起她的剑向我跑来。“什么样的伴侣会为了生存而杀死另一个伴侣?”
Jung Heewon triggered Demon Slaying and started to attack my body. However, the sword just made a rough sound.
郑和元触发了恶魔杀戮，开始攻击我的身体，但是剑只是发出粗糙的声音。
I told her, “It is because you are a trustworthy companion that I am putting my life in your hands.”
我对她说:“因为你是我值得信赖的伙伴，我才把我的生命交在你手中。”
“…”
“ ... ”
“Heewon-ssi, you have to do it properly. Think that I will come back to life again and stab me as hard as possible.”
“平原西，你必须好好地做。想想看，我会重新活过来，然后尽可能狠狠地捅我一刀。”
“Dokja-ssi really…”
“Dokja-ssi真的......”
Jung Heewon raised her sword towards me. The power of Hell Flames Ignition appeared around Jung Heewon’s body.
郑和元举起她的剑对着我。地狱之火的力量点火出现在郑和元的身体周围。
Jung Heewon’s eyes were red as she started to concentrate her strength. Her real strength was when the power of Judge of Destruction was added to Hell Flames Ignition.
郑鹤元开始集中力量时，眼睛红了。她真正的力量是当毁灭法官的力量被添加到地狱火焰点火。
Kim Dokja became a demon king and was a suitable target for that power.
金道佳成为了一个恶魔国王，也是这个力量的合适目标。
[The character ‘Jung Heewon’ has activated Judgment Time!] [Many of the constellations of the absolute good system agree to trigger the skill.] [There is only one constellation who is strongly opposed to the activation of the skill.]
[“郑鹤元”这个角色激活了审判时间!][绝对良好系统的许多星座同意触发技能。][只有一个星座强烈反对激活技能。]
[The skill activation has been cancelled.]
[技能激活已被取消]
The confused Jung Heewon stared at me and I gazed into the air. It was obvious who had opposed the activation of Judgment Time.
混乱的郑希元盯着我，我凝视着空气。很明显是谁反对激活审判时间。
“Demon-like Judge of Fire.”
“魔鬼般的火焰审判者。”
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is covering her eyes with a pained expression.]
[星座‘魔鬼般的火之审判者’用痛苦的表情遮住了她的眼睛。]
“…Uriel.”
“......乌列。”
Sparks filled the air in response to my call.
响应我的号召，空气中弥漫着火花。
“Please agree to the activation of Judgment Time.”
“请同意启动审判时间。”
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is shaking her head violently!] “If you don’t do this, your incarnation will die.”
“如果你不这样做，你的化身将会死去。”
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ says that if she does this, you will die.]
[星座‘魔鬼般的火之审判者’说如果她这么做，你就会死。]
How good would it be if all the constellations were like her? It was regrettable that I had to hurt Uriel.
如果所有的星座都像她一样，那该有多好？很遗憾，我不得不伤害乌列。
“Uriel, you know. This is just a story.” I spoke like a dokkaebi. “You must’ve seen many people die in the meantime.”
“乌列，你知道的。这只是一个故事。”我说话就像一个dokkaebi。“与此同时，你一定看到很多人死去。”
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ feels despair.]
[《魔鬼般的火之审判》星座让人感到绝望。]
The messages alone portrayed it clearly. I remembered the small and beautiful Uriel I saw at the banquet.
我记得我在宴会上看到的小巧美丽的乌列尔。
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is weeping and repeatedly shaking her head.]
[《火之审判》中的魔鬼星座在哭泣，不停地摇头]
The little face that kept crying and shaking. She was an angel that didn’t match the modifier of ‘demon.’ “Do what you need to do. Only then will this story be completed.”
那张不停哭泣和颤抖的小脸。她是一个天使，与“魔鬼”这个词的修饰语不相称“做你需要做的事情。只有这样，这个故事才能完成。”
[The constellation ‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ is looking down at you.]
[星座‘魔鬼般的火之审判者’正在俯视着你。]
After a moment, I heard the message I had been waiting for.
过了一会儿，我听到了我一直在等待的消息。
[All constellations of the absolute good system are in favour of Judgment Time.]
[绝对善良系统的所有星座都支持审判时间。]
Finally, a bloody aura rose from Jung Heewon’s body. “…Shit, I really hate the name of this skill.”
终于，一个血色的光环从郑鹤元的身上升起。“......妈的，我真的很讨厌这个技能的名字。”
The aura of Judgment Time combined with the power of Hell Flames Ignition and created a tremendous wave of magic power. It had the power to destroy all the evil in the world.
