Episode 235. I have demon blood flowing through my veins, but I am not a devil (5)
Somewhere in a dark underground cave.
Two men in dirty robes sat at a round table.
Warm-.
One of the men raised his finger.
Fingers so thin and white it’s hard to believe they’re male.
Soon the man’s fingers began to drum on the table.
Warm- warm- warm-.
A pounding filled with irritation.
The act continued for quite some time, but the man sitting across from me did not say anything.
Rather, it was the man who was drumming his fingers on the table who was annoyed.
“Why don’t these guys come?”
The man clenched his fingers and slammed them on the table.
bang!
The robe the man was wearing rippled. The blow must have been that strong.
Flutter-.
The robe quickly found its place. The strange thing was that the left arm part was hanging limply on the ground.
It meant that the left arm did not exist.
Yes, that’s right. The identity of the man who is busy getting annoyed is this.
“Fuck!”
It was Volkan, the ‘Maestro of the Battlefield’.
Volkan was usually calm, but lately he has been having trouble controlling his emotions.
The shock of losing an arm and the resulting inconvenience in daily life were enough to change Volkan’s mind.
“Kikki kick!”
Suddenly the man across from me burst into laughter.
An unidentifiable gaze flashed between the fluttering robes.
He was a strange man, with unknown movements felt here and there in the robe he was wearing.
“Kik! What did you say? That’s not what you should say when you’ve lost an arm while running wild trying to subjugate the legion commander?”
“Lucius Black! What did you just say!”
Volkan jumped up and shouted.
Yes, the man sitting across from Volcan was.
It was Lucius Black, the ‘Creator of Madness’.
A mad warlock who bonds demons to his own body!
“Ki-ki-ki! Calm down. That’s not what I said, it’s what the demons said.”
“… … You cheeky devils. You’d better watch your mouth. I’ll rip you out of that body!”
“What? We were able to hit Caron without losing a single body, so aren’t we stronger? Well, I guess you could say that.”
“Lucius Black!”
Despite Volkan’s wrath, Lucius Black was busy laughing.
“I guess it won’t work. I’ll get rid of those devils right now. I’ll replace them with guys who will listen well.”
“Keep calm! You’re telling me to calm down. What? ‘I don’t have the strength to do that’? No, what? Let’s take Volkan’s right arm off and reattach it? Oh, that’s a great idea! Why didn’t I think of that before!”
“You fucking idiot!”
It was when Volkan was about to raise the undead.
Someone appeared through the thick darkness.
“Both of you calm down.”
“… … Brocken, it’s late.”
“Tardiness! Kik! Tardiness! That’s not like you!”
The new man took off his hood.
The owner of ash-colored hair and cloudy gray eyes.
The last of the Four Heavenly Kings whose existence has yet to be discovered by the world.
It was ‘Let’s King’ Brocken.
“We weren’t given that power to fight amongst ourselves, were we?”
“Tch! I know that too. Why are you so late? Lizvelt, that woman?”
Volkan craned his neck behind Brocken, searching for Lizvelt.
Yes. Today, they are beings who have been granted authority directly by the commander of the legion.
It was a day when the Four Heavenly Kings gathered together to plan the future.
“I was informed that I would not be able to attend this time. It seems that the shock of Vines’ death was greater than I thought.”
“Tch! When did that guy die? And you’re not attending because that one devil died! I shouldn’t have accepted that kind of woman in the first place!”
“Ki-ki-ki! I think you should not have received it. It’s because you lack empathy… … .”
“You worry about me! Why are you worrying about that woman while looking at me like a dog with my arm cut off?”
“Well, you’re not pretty and Lizbelt is.”
Volkan frowned.
A normally insane guy comes to his senses as soon as the topic of Lizvelt comes up.
But that wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
“If it’s Lizvelt, she’ll love my body full of demons. I’m looking for a demon to satisfy her… … I guess a large demon would be best?”
“… … You fucking idiot.”
Volkan shuddered as he unconsciously realized the hidden meaning behind Lucius Black’s words.
A guy like that was my colleague. It was horrible.
“Volkan, calm down. I know how painful it is to lose an arm, but… … it would be bad if you lost your composure, which is your strong point.”
“Brocken… … .”
“Fulfilling our cause comes first. You haven’t forgotten, have you?”
Great intention. Of course I haven’t forgotten.
Not once since that day.
“And you know very well what power Lizvelt was granted. He was raised from the 9th level and rose to the 4th level, so you can’t help but feel affection for him.”
The power of the Lizbelt. ‘Ministry’.
It was a power that could promote the growth of demons.
An incredible power that can rapidly grow a 9th-tier demon to the 1st-tier.
Sometimes, I felt a sense of awe as I watched him manipulate the higher demons like his limbs.
‘Well, there are some restrictions.’
From the 9th rank to the 1st rank. Only one person could serve at each rank.
This means that you can only handle a total of 9 demons.
Of course, it couldn’t be said to be weak, as it was several times stronger than demons of the same rank.
furthermore.
“Because all the demons raised by Lizvelt can use the power of ‘erosion’. Losing Viness is a big deal.”
“That’s right. He plays a very important role in our plans. So, how about being lenient?”
“Ugh… … I understand. But I’m not complaining for nothing. The ‘Carpathian Invasion’ is right before our eyes. And you’re not attending the meeting? Is that okay?”
“I heard that they will handle it well. You don’t have to worry. After losing Viness, Lizvelt’s anger has only grown stronger.”
“Then what… … .”
Volkan nodded in agreement.
Although Brocken’s words were reasonable, he failed to mention his own mistakes.
‘I warned you to retreat because the imperial punitive force had arrived, but you didn’t listen.’
Although I believed in the power of a strong authority, I was too attracted to the bones of Legion Commander Crowley.
If it had been successful, it would have been fortunate, but if it had failed and made the existence of the Four Heavenly Kings known to the world, it would have been natural for Brocken to be angry.
But far from being angry, he didn’t even mention the mistake he had made.
‘This is what it means to have a colleague.’
Volkan clenched his one remaining hand and made a vow.
I will punish this continent together with Brocken.
“Kikkikkik! Volkan is weak! Weak against Brocken!”
“Shut up! Brocken and I are the only two rational people in our group! That’s why we have no choice but to rely on each other!”
“… … Both of you, sit down.”
The meeting began. There were two main agenda items.
The presence of the Four Heavenly Kings has surfaced, so be careful in your actions.
A plan to divert the Empire’s attention and forces elsewhere before Lisvelt invades Carpathia.
“If there are minor incidents in three places, the Empire will have no choice but to disperse its forces.”
“Carpathia is the center of the empire, but it has relatively few troops. Lizvelt alone should be enough. Creating a land of erosion near the heart of the empire… … I think I can really make a big impact.”
“Ki kik! It’s still a fun plan even when I look at it again!”
To draw attention around the Carpathians and block the movement of troops until the Lizvelt finishes ‘eroding’.
That’s what they had to do.
It was the moment when each person finished organizing their respective areas.
“Oh, and… … I killed Asran.”
Brocken pulled a sword out of his robe.
It was a sword that was full of nobility just by looking at it. It was a famous sword that only a skilled person could use.
Asran is one of the ten swords of the Kingdom of Celvis.
Although he is considered weaker than the Ten Swords of the Empire, Asran is one of the strongest swordsmen on par with them.
Although they had accomplished the feat of eliminating him, Volkan and Lucius Black were not at all surprised.
Because it was a natural thing.
“You’ve had a hard time.”
“I just did what I had to do.”
“The bones?”
“… … He was strong. Since he was melted down, his bones could not be recovered.”
In the Kingdom of Celvis, Asran will be processed as missing.
You wouldn’t think that someone so strong could be assassinated.
You might think I went on a trip or went on a retreat.
“Tsk, that’s too bad.”
“I’ll try harder next time. If you don’t have anything else to report, let’s wrap it up here.”
As the meeting was about to end, Volkan opened his mouth.
“Do you have any information on a boy named Adonis?”
“Adonis?”
“It was at least as powerful as an 8-star knight. It seems to be on the level of a 9-star knight… … but I’m not sure.”
“Let’s find out.”
“You can’t kill him?”
“The order is set. Above all, if I kill the unidentified guy, my identity may be revealed sooner.”
“Yeah… … That’s true.”
Everyone was convinced that they could kill Adonis.
Even Volkan, who faced Adonis directly.
To that extent, Brocken’s power was absolute.
‘No one can win in a 1:1 fight, right? No, no one can. That’s for sure.’
The power of curses and plagues.
Volkan, who had felt Crowley’s power for a moment, could tell.
Brocken’s power is much more than that.
Even though it was limited to one-on-one combat, it was incredible that a person could wield power stronger than a legion commander.
“Okay, see you next time. Everyone, be careful.”
Until the Carpathian invasion.
D-15.
* * *
“Ah, I’m full.”
“Hehe, oh, today is the 43rd day since I ate with my friend… … Oh, today was also accident-free!”
Luna is patting her stomach, and Regé has a strange note written on the corner of the box that says, ’43 days without accident, a new record achieved!’
The foolish hair of Reze, who had been spinning around happily, soon fell off.
“Ah, it’s been 43 days since I was possessed by the devil… … .”
Well, the devil. You’re not talking about me, are you?
No, I don’t think so. If I were your friend and Luna were the devil, then maybe you wouldn’t know.
I wanted to grab Reje’s bangs and ask him right away, but I tried hard to suppress that feeling.
Because right now, solving mountain-sized worries was the priority.
‘The story has changed.’
I ended up winning the exchange that I should have lost.
This means that the Theronites and Eurydians, not the Victorians, took over the real power in the upper class.
‘It was an important episode where Teron started to turn dark… … .’
I will do anything to become stronger.
It was an episode where ‘evil’ sprouted in Teron’s heart. But then it disappeared.
This was a bigger problem than I thought.
‘Knowing what will happen in the future is the greatest strength of a seer.’
That means I could lose the greatest weapon I have.
So, it was inevitable that my worries would be as great as a mountain.
“Haaah… … .”
“What? Why are you sighing? Is something wrong?”
“Haha, it’s nothing.”
“It’s nothing. It’s written all over your face like ‘I have a problem.’”
Luna, who is oblivious, noticed it. I guess I was really worried.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but don’t worry too much. Worrying about nothing will ruin your body. And if you look back, it’s often not as big of a deal as you thought. So, just relax a little.”
It’s just like Luna said.
No matter how much I worried, there were many times when it actually turned out to be nothing serious.
‘Isn’t it still like that now?’
Yeah, it’ll be fine. There’s no way the episode will change that much.
It is natural and the way of the world that Teron turns black.
There was no way that Theron’s future would change just because they won a single exchange meeting.
To realize that fact through Luna.
“Hoo hoo hoo, Luna. You’ve grown up so much.”
“I was originally big?”
“For someone like that, he’s short… … .”
Crunch!
My head turned to the left.
Well, I guess I’ll have to sit sideways and listen to class today.
That’s when we entered the classroom.
“Hahahahahahaha!!”
Teron was laughing loudly.
It was a vulgar appearance that had no trace of aristocratic decorum whatsoever.
Well, Luna. I think we’re in big trouble.
A big problem that could lead to the end of the world.
