The Betrayed Devil No Longer Hides His Power - Chapter 47



47 – New Hero 11

“Welcome, Lepidus.”

– “Ummm… “

An employee who bows his head politely.

Under his guidance, Lepidus…

No, Crassus went inside the Kirks branch building.

-‘You’re using the secret identity you created in the past very usefully… ‘

Originally, it was an identity created for embezzlement, and its existence itself was not known.

Using it to steal information for his now great lord, Crassus was feeling proud of his past, which in many ways was sincere.

-‘As expected, you have to be diligent in not knowing people. Even if you do bad things, if you do your best like this, you’ll be able to bear fruit someday.’

Like that, only the direction has changed now and then, anyway, while feeling worthwhile in a fulfilling life of doing one’s best. Crassus started taking the necessary information today as well.

-‘In the end, it was decided that the orcs would participate… Is it that the dwarves have also started to move? Indeed, everything is going as expected by the lord.’

He also knew very well what the ultimate goal of this work was.

To this end, as many enemies as possible had to be drawn into this war, the news of the two races participating in the war was very pleasing to Crassus as well.

-‘Now then, let’s hurry and tell the lord this good news. If this happens, Jormun-sama will have more work to do, but…’

His boss was already under heavy workload, but that was his problem.

In the first place, since she was guilty of daring to rebel against the great lord, she had no room for sympathy.

Like that, Crassus was about to get out of here right away to finish his work.

Then…

-“… Chi… “

He is a Crassus who unknowingly clicks his non-existent tongue.

Although he wasn’t a priest, he was a half-plutos with poor combat power,

Even he was able to read the current situation without difficulty.

Hunters are blocking his way from behind.

Seeing the obvious attempt to stop him from escaping, Crassus smiled bitterly inside.

-‘I heard that if the tail is long, it will be stepped on… Looks like they got caught sooner than expected.’

With such thoughts in mind, Crassus tries to use the means of escape he has prepared in advance.

He judged that it would be possible to escape somehow if he used this specially brought because he had experienced something related to Freeza in the past.

Then…

“Crassus!”

“!”

A familiar voice in my ears.

At this, Krasur felt deeply embarrassed and had no choice but to stop his movements.

-‘What the f*ck… All in all, that year… ‘

After becoming like this, he is one of the three most unwanted people to meet.

At the appearance of a guy who could make a clumsy escape attempt useless, Crassus looked back slowly while swearing in his heart.

Standing there is the person I expected.

His old colleague, and a being considered the strongest hunter in Kirks in name and reality, excluding the Master.

-“Kesar… How are you….”

Then.

– “!?”

A strange sensation felt suddenly.

It is… It was Caesar’s action of holding his hand unexpectedly.

I was honestly expecting a fight or at least an immediate arrest attempt.

Caesar’s reaction, which seemed to ridicule his expectations, was arousing considerable embarrassment to Crassus.

“Thank God… really… thank god.”

-“… “

Her voice is full of relief.

The fact that he was saying this while holding his hand, which was practically rotted away and only bones and skin remained, made Crassus even more suspicious.

On top of that, the fact that I couldn’t even openly ask questions in this state was a bonus.

-‘No… What kind of situation is this… First of all, please explain.’

*

A VIP room located inside the Kirks branch.

While being guided there, Crassus couldn’t help but feel dirty as if he were walking on the bed of a needle.

The current situation that is not understood in many ways.

I was a little relieved that I didn’t blow off the head from the beginning, but

Rather, the fact that he wasn’t following the obvious procedure was amplifying Crassus’ doubts and anxiety.

-‘If I’m going to kill you, I’ll kill you quickly… Or at least explain the situation.’

That time when I felt stuffy in so many ways.

His eyes began to see the door to the VIP room, where he finally arrived.

“I am here.”

-“Come in.”-

A voice came from inside the door.

The moment you hear it, not an ordinary voice, but a magically altered voice,

A sentence naturally popped into Crassus’ head.

‘Jambyeong… this is really messed up… ‘

As Crassus is an amazing one, he was able to recognize it right away.

An existence that is altering his voice while waiting for him in the VIP room.

There was only one person in Kirks who could take an action like this against him and Caesar.

And, unfortunately, his prediction turned out to be very accurate.

“I’m back, Master.”

-“Good job.”-

A master who continues to speak with a modulated voice while sitting on a chair turned upside down.

Looking at the person who was still thoroughly hiding his identity, Crassus was curious about the person’s identity several times more than in the past.

-‘In a way, the best enemy is comparable to the emperor or the hero…. If only I could find out the identity of the author, it would be of great help to my lord… ‘

The leader of Kirks, who has been slaughtering and hunting demons mercilessly.

Of course, the demon king’s anger toward him was extremely intense, but he was still not recklessly touching it.

Not only were there many urgent matters to be dealt with right away, but it was also difficult to take clear action against the enemy who was hiding his identity.

The only thing that was possible was for the occupied area to destroy the Kirks branch without leaving a single stone, but the identity of the master was still unknown.

‘But I’m not in a position to see his face right now… ’

Of course, if the knight made the wrong move, Caesar next to him would blow off his head.

Moreover, at this moment, Crassus instinctively felt it.

Rather than shoveling recklessly here, it is more advantageous to find a hole to escape while silently listening to the story.

Then.

-“I never thought you would be alive like this, Crassus. No… Do you feel like you’re alive? In any case, you are now an undead, not a human.”-

– “Ummm…. Yes. That… Yes Master.”

A master who already knows our true identity.

Crassus realized that Caesar’s reaction when they held hands just now was because he already knew that fact.

– “It’s really unfortunate to meet you like this. But fortunately, it seems that he still maintains his reason despite becoming that body.”-

-“That… That’s right. As you see.”

-“That’s what happened… It was really hard during that time.” –

-‘… Huh?’

For some reason, the Master’s reaction seemed to be filled with deep joy as well as some emotion.

From Crassus’ point of view, the situation was even more suspicious.

“Indeed, as the Master expected. I was honestly surprised. I never thought you would try to contact us in this way… “

-“If he was still alive, there was no reason he would do such a thing. The fact that he did not contact us directly, and partly used a secret identity he had created earlier, was probably just to let him know that he was not in a normal state.”

“Anyway, thank you very much for coming back like this, Crassus. It has been a difficult situation since Pompey was killed, but if your strength is added, it will surely be of great help to the Master.”

Caesar speaks too kindly.

From noble mtl dot com

Even so, I didn’t feel any sign of lies between Master and her.

This was a sincere, welcoming atmosphere for the undead.

While watching that scene with a slightly bewildered feeling,

A thought suddenly passed through Crassus’ mind.

-‘… No, wait a minute. ‘

No way, I couldn’t think of anything other than that.

Currently, they did not think that Crassus was subordinate to someone else.

In the first place, there is only one person in this world who can create Plutos, his master, the Demon King.

In this known situation that the demon king is clearly dead, they would not have been able to think of Pluto’s magic and the demon king with only the undead possessing reason.

Those with excessive vengeful spirits and tenacity could rise naturally as undead even after dying.

Among the undead that naturally occurred in that way, there were also those who maintained reason.

From that point of view,

It would have been possible to deduce that Crassus, who had a dirty obsession with money, was resurrected as an undead without breaking that obsession even after he died.

‘Even after death, he couldn’t forget the taste of money and was resurrected… Well, it’s not a very good picture, but I can use this situation anyway.’

Anyway, the important thing is that they now have some trust in Crassus.

Paying attention to that, Crassus rattled his jawbone and said as cheerfully as in life.

– “Of course. Even though Crassus, the cow, has died, I will continue to do my best for Master. It’s like taking a little more money.”

-“hahahaha… I know your heart. Eat in moderation.”

Crassus shows off the same appearance as he did in the past.

Looking at the unchanging appearance of my colleagues,

A deeper sense of joy and relief bloomed on Caesar’s face, and the Master accepted it with a slightly pleasant feeling.
