The Devil Who Grants Wishes - Chapter 189



189 – Faith (7)

“…Don’t you have to train? If you don’t sleep, tomorrow’s training will be very difficult.”

“Oh, what’s wrong? It’s okay for a day or so.”

“Coroke, you are too strict. Why don’t you act a little more politely?”

“Shh, everyone, please be quiet!”

Aigoceros laments after hearing Lucia, Iris, and Celestine shouting.

Why on earth does everyone do this?

Everyone’s eyes became puffy due to lack of sleep, and their skin became dull and lost its luster.

I’m barely holding on with fatigue recovery potions and magic, but if someone attacks me in this state, it could be a big problem… No, it won’t be a big problem, right? These are people that not even I can beat.

“Look, it’s a system.”

“I don’t know how many times I’ve been coming here… Wow, it feels like home.”

“Lucia, thanks to her, she survived. She used that difficult portal, so she is indeed Master Faust’s adopted daughter.”

“hehehe… What are you doing with something like this? You must be embarrassed.”

These are the words of Lucia, Iris, Lena, and Lucia again, one by one.

The warrior party, who had long since forgotten the countless followers who chased after them while sweating, formed a united front to find the secret of Faust, who was secretly wandering around every night.

Well, since we don’t usually get along that bad, it’s not something that needs to be specially called joint.

“Aigoceros.”

“…Yes, Irene.”

“Reflect, reflect. I used my mouth unnecessarily, and those young people became curious.”

“I am deeply reflecting.”

Irene, who doesn’t sleep well anyway and always has dark circles around her eyes, takes a step back and watches all of this as if she were an outsider.

I’m having fun by inserting a little bit of words.

After hearing Irene’s words, Aigo Keros lowers her head with a sad expression and replies, and when Irene looks at Igo Keros, her excitement seems to have cooled and she turns her head to look at the warrior party again.

“Everyone… Is having a very wonderful love.”

It is an emotion that Irene cannot feel and is difficult to feel.

No, not only love, but also most other emotions, Irene barely feels them as they have been hit by the ravages of time.

Irene, whose triangle in her heart was not just worn out, but completely reduced to dust, became unable to feel anything else except for one emotion, ‘fun’.

“Are you jealous?”

Looking at Irene, who is looking at the back of the four-member stalking group with a wistful expression and posture, Igo Keros opens her mouth without realizing it.

She has no reason to speak now.

Oh, Lucia’s safety is more important to Keros than anything else, so rather than chatting like this, it would be better for her to focus on escorting Lucia.

But even though he knew that, Aigokeros had no choice but to talk to Irene.

Oh my gosh, the way Keros sees Irene… Is literally like that of an abandoned dog abandoned by her owner.

“No way. It’s a joke.”

“Why do you think it’s a joke… You have no reason to be with Master Faust, but you keep following him around, don’t you? Without us even knowing, you secretly joined the hero’s party.”

“What’s wrong with that?”

“Isn’t it a similar reason to Lena? So, Faust-“

“Stop it. You, the devil, know better than anyone else that that’s not the case. Devils can read emotions.”

Irene, who roughly waved away Keros’ words with her hand, turned her head again with a tired expression and looked at her hero party with her back to Keros.

And Aigokeros feels extreme loneliness as he encounters Irene.

Irene’s blue hair radiates the melancholy that is the symbol of her blue color all around her.

“If you say so… Well, I’ll leave it at that.”

Oh, Keros stops teasing Irene and decides to quietly watch over her.

Watching a creature not be honest about her feelings is one of the most popular attractions for demons.

“What is that again…?”

The group of warriors who entered the depths of the island witnessed something very strange.

The sight of countless corpses spread out on a high pole.

The abandoned corpses were freely spewing out rotting flesh and waste water from the corpses in all directions without any hindrance, and crows were flocking to eat the delicious meat fruits that were growing on the trees.

Cow!

Lucia picks up a tree branch lying on the side of the road and raises it high into the sky, and a crow that was eating a corpse sits on the branch.

Caw!!

“Good, good… You’ve been like this a week ago? Really? The emperor?”

Lucia gets information from the crow about when things started like this.

It is said that since a week ago, by order of the emperor, all the prisoners on death row have ended up like this, and even serious criminals who are not worthy of death have ended up like this.

After answering Lucia’s question, the crow flies off the tree branch and settles down on the corpse hanging high on the pole to resume her feast.

“Hmm… The scenery of the island was truly worth seeing, but this is ruining its beauty. Everyone thinks so, right?”

“That’s right, it’s disgusting.”

“It seems like the emperor ordered it like this to make you feel fear… Rather than fear, I just feel a lot of disgust.”

“I don’t know why…”

Iris, Celestine, and Lena answer Lucia’s question.

What they have seen since entering the system was a truly beautiful sight, with the people of the empire worshiping Faust not with forced faith, but with faith that truly comes from their hearts, but these corpse poles have completely ruined that good sight.

Of course, fear is also a very important concept to Faust, so they do not want Faust to become a completely friendly image, but even so, there is a degree. Only then, instead of feeling fear, do you feel only disgust and rejection.

“Why do you have to do something like that? It’s a waste of meat because it all rots.”

“That’s not a very good way to create fear. If it were me… Hmm, it would be better not to mention it here.”

“Crumbling…”

Flora, Aigoceros, and Nero also find it difficult to understand the emperor’s treatment.

Even with the senses of demons and beasts, the emperor’s actions do not seem capable of causing fear.

“Well, let’s leave that alone for now and find dad. I can feel dad’s energy in that archdiocese, so if we go there–“

Rumbling!!

“aaah!!”

The moment the warrior party turns their attention from the corpse pole and is about to leave to find Faust again, a strange incident suddenly occurs.

A scream is heard along with the sound of something pouring all at once, and the owner of the scream is lying face down in front of a pole and rolling around on the floor.

“I told you not to touch me!!”

“Get away, b*tch!!”

“Ah, Dad… Dad…”

There is no need to find out what happened, just the soldiers guarding the corpse pole and pointing their weapons and the girl lying down in front of them crying, the warrior party immediately realizes what happened.

It is unknown what crime was committed, but one of the corpses hanging on that pole may be the girl’s father.

That girl was sobbing that her father was hanging high in the sky like that without even being able to be buried in the ground.

“…Everyone, are you sorry?”

A girl crying in sorrow, a daughter screaming for her father, all of this makes Lucia unable to bear it.

Lucia, who had just turned her attention away from the pole and was about to leave in search of Faust, continues to show favor to the girl and shows extreme hostility to her soldiers, as if she had never done so before.

The warrior party and Faust’s household cannot even dare to stop Lucia.

From their experience, Lucia, who has been switched on like this, cannot listen to anything she says.

“First of all, let’s start with the heads of those guys-“

Peooeok!

But Lucia cannot finish her actions.

Lucia, who was constructing the magic, urgently cancels the construction when she sees a rock hitting the soldier’s face.

“…What is it?”

“Hey you bastards!!”

“You guys are still human after all that!!”

Lucia’s doubts are immediately resolved.

The people of the empire, who had nothing but bitter dissatisfaction and only looked at that pole with sad and angry eyes, are now exploding their anger everywhere as if they had never done so before.

Despite not having any equipment on their bodies, the imperialists, each with a piece of wood and a stone in their hands, rushed towards the armed soldiers guarding the pole.

“Uh, uh… What do I do…?”

“What should I do? What should I do? If I swing my weapon, you and I will just get hit by rocks and die!? In times like this, just stay calm.”

When the soldiers who were using force against the weak girl faced a huge wave of crowds, they lowered their weapons and surrendered in an instant as if they had never done so before.

And seeing the soldiers surrender, the imperial people gain even more momentum.

“The emperor who did something like this must be punished!!”

“Is this what a person would do?!”

“The emperor is a pagan who serves the evil spirit Serapia!!”

“What is this…?”

And soon the momentum is directed towards the imperial palace.

The imperial people’s anger, which exploded in a huge amount in the blink of an eye, is soon directed towards the imperial palace where the emperor is, and the hero party, including Lucia, becomes dizzy as the work progresses so quickly that they cannot follow it properly.
