Sister of the Ranking 1st (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 100

“It’s because the Demon King is a ‘type’ of World Boss. Like the Demon King, they also possess immense power and destructive force, but they are called ‘Demon Kings’ precisely because their very existence brings catastrophe upon the world.”

Hearing those words stirred a memory within me.

‘Moreover, destruction comes in four forms.’

‘So ponder it carefully. If someday the world needs you, Yo Hwa, whether you accept that burden or not is entirely your own will.’

Those were the words spoken by those who had tried to convince me that sacrificing myself would save this world. Monsters, too, bring calamity simply by existing—but if what I’d heard back then was true, then the disaster wrought by a being known as the Demon King was nothing less than outright ‘destruction.’

“In other words, apart from the four Demon Kings, additional World Bosses may appear at any time. According to actual prophecies… No, I shouldn’t speak of this to you, Lady Shin Ah. Let me say something else.”

Seeing my frown, Michael hastily changed the direction of his words. Judging by the mention of prophecy, this must have been something Silence had said.

The moment the name Silence was uttered, my body involuntarily stiffened. By now, I was genuinely curious—why did I feel such intense aversion toward this being called Silence?

“The monster sealed away by Lady Shin Ah and myself is the one known as the Third Demon King. As its title suggests, it was originally meant to appear much later, not in Korea but in another region—but for some reason, variables emerged. Though this early appearance weakened it compared to the prophecy, neither of us was sufficiently prepared to face it, so we placed a seal until that time….”

“…and that seal was broken.”

“…I am deeply ashamed. Although traces of the broken magic remain, the greatest issue is that we have no idea where the Third Demon King has vanished to or whether it is currently active. Moreover, Sin’s interference has introduced instability into Silence’s prophecy, and humanity currently lacks the strength to counteract the coming calamity and destruction. Since ‘eternal night,’ the telltale sign of catastrophe visible to the naked eye, has not yet appeared, we cannot confirm that the Third Demon King has begun its activities—but…”

Michael sighed midway through, then continued.

“…because we’ve discovered some suspicious inconsistencies.”

Suspicious inconsistencies—those words sparked a thought in my mind.

“Are the inconsistencies you just mentioned related to Lee Ryeo Hyun… Baek Ya?”
