Name: Alex The Demon King
Author: Niloyer Core
Part: 58
Alex started talking to Lucifer. The two discussed many things. Lucifer only answered Alex's questions during the discussion. Alex had many unknown questions in his mind, and Lucifer usually answered them one by one. Although Lucifer could not answer all the questions, Alex was still being helped to some extent. Alex, who was once a twenty-six-year-old young man named Hridoy, how could his life suddenly change like this. Although he still remembered his dream, all this could never have changed like this because of his one wish. Alex initially blamed his own wish, but after talking to Lucifer, he realized that his wish was in no way related to the future. Yes, it is true that if the wish of the heart was not fulfilled, someone else's wish would have been fulfilled, but this does not mean that the wish of the heart was wrong. If he had not wanted the wish, then whatever would have happened would have happened.
"Then even if I hadn't made that wish, the tower would have appeared on Earth." (Alex thinks)
The Seven Demon Towers were originally seven demon palaces built by the Demon King. Seven princes trained in these seven palaces and became powerful. It can be said that it was their own training ground. However, since the Demon King died, these seven demon palaces have become known as the Seven Demon Towers. The supreme control of the palaces was in the hands of the Demon King. However, after the Demon King died, the control of the tower passed to the seven demon princes. Except for the Demon Prince of Pride, everyone else came out of the Xblock to save their lives. And as a result of being forced to come out, they all had to suffer severe punishment. Everyone lost their power and body and entered eternal sleep. The Demon King, just before his death, allowed all the demon princes to leave the tower by trapping their souls in their own palaces. And as a result, they safely escaped from the hands of all the gods.
However, Lucifer was the only one among the seven Demon Princes whose soul was not sealed. When the Demon King was fighting with the powerful God, the High God, and the Higher Gods, Lucifer was the only person who was by the Demon King's side. Even before the Demon King's death, he was by the Demon King's side. Lucifer would have died with the Demon King, but in the end, the Demon King used up his last bit of power to save Lucifer. And as a result, even though Lucifer had properly left the X-Block, the Demon King remained there, with the High God and the Higher Gods. The Demon King was an existence that was the strongest among the Higher Gods. That's why everyone feared his power. And the most trusted person of that King was Lucifer the One.
-->>So you're saying that the Demon King is dead and the seven Demon Princes will now have to fight among themselves and whoever is left at the end will be able to take the Demon King's place? (Alex)
Alex asked curiously. Although not everything was clear to him, he still understood it lightly. Lucifer is a Demon Prince, but he doesn't know many details. Since he has never seen the other Demon Princes and Demon King with his own eyes, he doesn't know many details. Lucifer the Three only knows what he has heard from his servants and what he has heard from his own Lucifer the Two. And as far as he knows, the Demon King died in the tower. And he keeps only seven Demon Princes who are worthy of becoming the new Demon King. The strongest Demon Prince among the seven Demon Princes will have the opportunity to become the next Demon King. Demon King is not an ordinary title, and Lucifer does not expect to receive that title even after becoming the strongest.
-->>Currently, the Demon King's position is vacant, so many eyes in the Demon World are on that position. (Lucifer)
-->>As far as I know, only the seven Demon Princes are qualified to become Demon Kings. (Alex)
-->>You misunderstood what I meant. Although I said that the strongest Demon Prince is the one who has the ability to become the next Demon King, that doesn't mean he can become the Demon King. (Lucifer)
-->>Meaning?(Lucifer)
-->>The things are reserved only for demons. Since you are not a demon, I cannot tell you this. (Lucifer)
Alex's mind started to think again. Although their conversation was simple, meaning that no one else would understand, Alex did get answers to several of his questions through it. Adding it all up, the things Alex learned were the seven towers, which were respectively the Tower of Pride, Tower of Wrath, Tower of Gluttony, Tower of Grid, Tower of Envy, Tower of Last and the last Tower of Sloth. These towers were built by the Demon King and were called Demon Palaces. And in that Demon Palace, seven Demon Princes trained to strengthen themselves. The most powerful existence in the Demon World is the Demon King. But it is not like one person will remain the Demon King for the rest of his life. Just like if a Demon Prince is defeated by an ordinary Demon, that ordinary Demon can become a Demon Prince. On the other hand, if a Demon Prince or an ordinary Demon can defeat the Demon King, he can become a Demon King.
Alex also understood the mystery of the seven towers and why they had emerged in different wards. Except for the Tower of Pride, the remaining six towers had emerged in different worlds mainly for the reincarnation of the six Demon Princes. The Demon Princes had to give up their power and bodies to get out of the Xblock. Besides, there were many mysteries that were still a question in Alex's mind. Alex suddenly stopped thinking about this. His thoughts returned to their previous place.
Lucifer doesn't talk much about other things. Most of his words are about himself and Lucifer the One. Although he hasn't seen anything about Lucifer with his own eyes, he has learned a lot about him by listening to stories from his father. And that's what he was talking about with Alex. Although Alex was showing interest, he didn't want to listen to his words. But suddenly Lucifer was caught in an interesting conversation.
-->>Among all the stories of Lucifer, I like one story the most. It was a time when the Monkey King declared war on all the gods, Monkey King killed many of his gods and even the high gods in that war. And it was at that time that the Monkey King and the first Lucifer met. Monkey King, who at that time could kill even an ordinary high god, Lucifer became the new Demon Prince. A very terrible fight took place between Monkey King and Lucifer, the end result of which was that Monkey King lost. (Lucifer)
Lucifer said with a big smile. Monkey King, he was a character that Alex knew about before. Thanks to working on games, Alex has all the memories of his past. Even though he came to a new body, his mind still hasn't changed. And that's why he still has an idea about mythology. Monkey King, who was a king of monkeys, even though he doesn't fall under the category of higher gods, his power is definitely in the category of a higher god. Especially after the time when he fought all the gods for the second time.
Although Alex had thought the story of the Monkey King was fictional for a long time, because a novel he had read contained the entire story of the Monkey King, called "Journey to the West". Everything about the Monkey King there matched Lucifer's words. And that's why more thoughts came to Alex's mind. Although he had known these things would happen before. But Alex didn't think that everything would match up like this.
"Well, the memories of the undead are coming back to me now." (Alex said to himself)
As a result of absorbing the Lich the Undead, some of his memories merged with Alex's memories. But Alex doesn't always remember those memories, due to time constraints, generally speaking, when we go to do something, our brain automatically tells us how to do it, and our body works according to that instruction. In the same way, Alex also remembers the memories of the Lich the Undead, who was the Ruler of the Dead, due to time constraints. Just like now, he was thinking about the Monkey King, so some more information came. And the information is not bad.
"So there's Edgegard, Olympus, etc. I can't wait to see them." (Alex thinks)
Olympus, Asgard, were nothing more than fairy tales in Alex's previous world. But he didn't think it would be true. Although he didn't know about these things at first, Alex learned a lot about them thanks to the memories of Lich the Undead. Although they were only partial. Still, that was enough to strengthen Alex's interest.
-->>You were supposed to teach me your special move. (Alex)
Alex put all thoughts aside and got straight to the point. Lucifer had originally come here for one purpose. He wanted to train Alex. Although he wanted that, he abandoned the idea along the way.
-->>Well Alex, I wanted to train you, but I don't think you'll need it. (Lucifer)
-->>What kind of talk is this? (Alex)
-->>I would have trained you the same way your father is training you. So I don't think you'll need my training. And every swordsman can use Quick Draw. (Lucifer)
-->>But only 0.01% of people out of 100% can master it. And you are one of them. (Alex)
Alex was starting to get angry. He had expected Lucifer to tell Alex something about his super strength, but he was completely ignoring the training. Lucifer started to say,
-->>Actually, I wanted to stay in this place for a long time. Especially until the time of Beelzebub's reincarnation. But it seems that it will not be possible anymore. (Lucifer)
-->>So you want to go to another demon prince's tower? (Alex)
-->>No, I'll leave for Xblock. (Lucifer)
Alex suddenly became stunned after hearing Lucifer's words. The more he thought about Xblock, the more his mind became agitated. Yes, he would have to go there one day. An invisible pull was pulling him into it, not only Alex alone, but anyone who heard about Xblock would be drawn to it. There were many mysteries about it that Alex had not yet been able to solve. But suddenly, Alex couldn't say anything about Lucifer wanting to go into Xblock. He was also curious, so he asked a stupid question,
-->>How can I get in there? (Alex)
Alex has some memories of Lich the Undead, but they are very few. Which did not give Alex much information about Xblock. And that is why Alex is also anxious to know what the place is really like in the partial description of Xblock. It is just like a movie trailer or teaser. Just like everyone is interested in the movie when they see the trailer, Alex's situation is the same. Lucifer gave a light smile after hearing Alex's words. At the same time, he started saying,
-->>You will know everything in time. I wanted to go further in X-Block. But time waits for no one. You have the blood of a special person in your body, so you can become very strong at one time without the power of Beelzebub. There will come a time in the future when I will not be able to stand in front of you. (Lucifer)
Lucifer looked at Alex and said it seriously. But Alex didn't understand a word of it. Although he expected an analysis, Lucifer didn't say anything to him in that way.
-->>There is a limit to everything outside the main tower. Since I have reached that limit, I will no longer benefit from staying here. If I have to fight alongside you or with you in the future, I will have to cross my limit. And that will only happen when I enter the Xblock. (Lucifer)
Alex doesn't know what to say. He has only known Lucifer for two days. They met in one day and today the two have been talking together for a long time. Anyone who sees him would think that a beautiful friendship has developed between them, but that is not the case. Although Lucifer sees Alex as a friend, Alex doesn't think anything like that about Lucifer. Alex doesn't trust anyone. And since Lucifer is a Demon Prince, there is no question of trusting him for Alex. Although Alex is having a bit of trouble for two reasons. First, despite being a Demon Prince, Lucifer's general knowledge is very low, and because of this, Alex couldn't gather that much important information. And second, Lucifer didn't say anything about his strength.
-->>Alex I thought that maybe there is no one strong in this world, but maybe that was my wrong idea. I want to give you one piece of advice, never think about going with or against a dragon, they are very terrible beings. Even the Demon King always stayed away from them. And I think one of those dragons is in this world. So I would say you be careful.
-->>Yes(Alex)
Alex was starting to feel annoyed. The way Lucifer was saying goodbye, it seemed like he was Alex's lifelong friend, and that he would never see her again, so he was saying goodbye with a lot of things. Alex wanted to use his gluttony, but Alex knew that would never succeed. Before Alex could use his gluttony, Alex's throat would be cut with Lucifer's katana. That's why he was enduring Lucifer's words. Although Alex's mind was stuck on Lucifer's last words.
-->>Dragon!(Alex)
By now Lucifer had gone through the window. Alex noticed it much later. His mind was stuck in annoyance. Almond and Maria were not home. They both came back downstairs and were heading towards Alex's room. Lucifer, sensing their arrival, quickly said goodbye to Alex. On the other hand, Alex's thoughts were stuck on the dragon. Lich the Undead, who was a ruler who was also known as the Dead God. He was such a powerful being that with a blink of an eye, all living things in the city like Mephas could die. That Ruler of the Dead was a servant of someone. The Ruler of the Dead's owner, or the source of his power, was the Black Dragon. Even though Alex didn't know anything else about dragons, he knew for sure how powerful the Black Dragon was. The dragon only needed a flap of its wings to destroy the entire world where Alex was.
Almond, Maria, and Maria's friend Chesley entered Alex's room. Chesley had originally come for Alex's feet. Chesley had said a month, but it had been two months and Alex's feet still hadn't shown any problems. That's why Chesley had come to check. Chesley thought that the problem would recur after a month. But nothing had happened yet.

Lucifer quickly left Alex's house. He had felt this energy before, so he didn't want to feel it again.
-->>I don't know who he is. But Alex's father is a really scary person. Even though I'm the most powerful Demon Prince, I can't stand him for some reason. (Lucifer)
