The Devil Who Grants Wishes - Chapter 215



215 – Final Battle (10)

“Lu, Sia…”

And only then was I able to speak.

I felt Lucia’s hand digging into my chest, feeling Lucia come into me.

And I feel this dirty waste leaving my body.

[K, ahhh…!!]

Noah’s scream echoes in my mental world. Ever since Noah stole my body, I’ve only heard Noah’s voice as a human voice.

It’s not just that.

Noah’s screams seem to get smaller and louder, but they grow louder. Noah continues to scream loudly, but as he escapes from my body, the distance increases and the sound gradually becomes quieter.

Puhwaak!!

After the tremendous pain that pierces the chest and pierces the heart, the chest becomes hot and eventually a huge amount of blood spurts out from there.

Lucia in front of me is facing the blood, but she doesn’t seem to have any emotion about it.

Even though her face was covered in blood, she kept her eyes wide open without closing them and was just concentrating so as not to lose sight of Noah held in her hands.

“I finally caught it…”

[Now, wait a minute-]

Kwasik!!

Looking at Lucia smiling dangerously while holding the bead containing Noah’s thoughts, Noah’s thoughts try to say something, but Lucia does not listen to Noah’s words at all.

Ignoring Noah’s dissuasion and without giving any reply, Lucia grabs her hand and shatters her Noah’s bead.

Lucia’s hand, which turned into the hand of the devil, completely ignored the hardness of Noah’s bead.

Paaa!!

Similar to when Seraphia’s thoughts were destroyed, a huge black shock wave erupted from the orb and then suddenly quieted down.

I can’t feel anything.

I could only feel the waste all around me and the pain in my chest, and Noah’s will, which had been controlling my whole body until just now, had disappeared everywhere.

With this… It’s over…?

Ugh…

“Daddy!!”

Lucia, who was clenching and releasing her hand where Noah’s thoughts were, to determine if Noah was truly gone, immediately runs towards me as I was about to fall forward.

It was surprisingly cute to see him trying to close the hole in my chest with his small hand while supporting my body that was about to fall forward.

“Uh, huh… Did I stab it too, too hard?”

“I stabbed you hard. Did you get revenge in bed by stabbing me so violently?”

“What do you mean by revenge?… Ugh…!”

When I told a joke to Lucia, who was embarrassed and anxious and trying to stop the blood flowing from my chest as much as possible, the color of her face changed in an instant.

It’s like looking at a strawberry, so cute.

“I don’t think I pushed it in ignorantly though…”

“S-stop it…”

The more she continues to tease, the more Lucia’s voice becomes quiet and buzzy, like the sound of a mosquito.

Lucia lowered her head, her face red, unable to do anything. She just begs me to stop.

“Ugh, I get it. I guess the tension is all gone now.”

“Ugh…”

“Lucia, you have to do it. You can’t use time reversal on yourself.”

This wound cannot be recovered by simply healing. After recklessly sticking a hand into the chest and pulling out Noah’s thoughts that were lodged in the heart, everything, including flesh, muscles, bones, internal organs, and mana circuits, was distorted, so if it was just to heal, a power like Celestine would be needed. That’s it.

But the situation I am in now makes it difficult to even walk to where Celestine is. Perhaps, if you move your body with strength, blood, mana, and magical energy will gush out like a fountain from the hole in your chest.

So, Lucia has to do it.

Lucia, who has grown up receiving my demon energy since she was young, will be able to do it. Even the space magic I mainly used can now be used very smoothly, right?

Space magic and time magic are connected to each other as one thread, so Lucia will be able to make this wound disappear.

“…Yeah, okay.”

After hearing what I said, Lucia nodded with a solemn expression, and soon wrapped mana and magic energy around his arms.

And the surrounding mana and magic are transformed into the same shape as the magic circles that appeared when I used time reversal.

The magic circle of light and darkness, which have conflicting properties, intersect each other endlessly, forming a spring-like shape, and Lucia’s hand is positioned like an axis in the center of the spring.

…I didn’t know this when I wrote it, but after watching others write it, it’s surprisingly fascinating.

It seems so new now, but there is a reason why other people look at me with surprise or wonder every time I write about time reversal, that the conflicting properties of light and darkness are in such harmony with each other.

Sureureuk ㅡ

‘Ugh…’

Going back.

I feel like the lost items are being replenished.

Blood, mana, and demonic energy return and circulate through the body, and then various body tissues return to seal the contents so that they do not escape, and finally, the skin and shell covering my chest return, as if a hole had opened from the beginning. It becomes as if it never happened.

Time reversal, it’s a very strange feeling to experience this. It feels like I’m going to be motion sick, but I feel refreshed. What a contradiction.

“Okay… Is it okay?”

“Good.”

“That’s a good thing. I was worried that something might go wrong since I was doing it for my dad–sigh…”

Half anxious and half proud, Lucia, who was standing there awkwardly, was hugged into her arms.

Just a little while ago, it was Lucia’s sharp raised hand that came into my arms, but now there is only the lovely Lucia.

“Doesn’t the shell sting?”

“Yes, it’s okay. Rather, this cold feeling is reassuring.”

“…I see. Then let’s go back now.”

“Yes.”

Then, now we have to deal with the great flood that has covered this entire place… No, we have to deal with the Chinese waste… Hmm, should I just use space magic to throw it away?

Fortunately, this Dalianjang is a huge basin, so the sediment does not leak out, but the volume of sediment is so large that it fills this huge basin.

No, even if I throw it away, I’m a little scared that it will pollute the environment because there’s so much of it… Well, first of all, I have to try everything I can.

…………

Grrr

“Fortunately, it rides well.”

“The one in the Great Forest was made with Gaia’s divine power, and this one was made with my father’s magic power, so I was a little worried, but it looks fundamentally the same.”

And fortunately, these sediments could be easily removed.

If I shot the magic that was made up of demonic energy, the evil spirits that were in the basement of the Great Forest could be easily removed as they would be burned by the magic energy, and the evil spirits that were born from my demonic energy could also be easily removed.

It is different this time in that you have to attack using divine power rather than magic energy.

It feels like looking at oil.

It’s incredibly pitch black and burns when hit by magic. If this isn’t oil, then what is it?

“Lucia, where are the party members?”

“Unlike me, who cannot become a complete devil, the children will all be inside the protective shield as their lives will be taken away if they are hit by this great flood. If you follow the direction I flew from… They will be around there.”

I thought the work would take a long time, so I asked Lucia where her children were to free them first. Lucia seemed to recall her memories and eventually stretched out her finger and pointed in a direction.

No, it may not be ruminating, but hesitation.

Don’t you like taking the kids out first?

“Well… It’s been a while since we’ve been alone together. If possible, I want to be together for a long time.”

“…Huh, I see.”

Lucia must have sensed my puzzled gaze and answered as if she was making a hasty excuse, and I couldn’t help but laugh as soon as I heard that.

I can’t believe she even thought about that even in this situation. Lucia really does what she wants.

On the contrary, that is the cutest thing.

You try to do things your own way, but you listen to me nicely.

“Then we’ll have to postpone saving those children until later. There won’t be any danger to their lives anyway.”

“Ugh… Really.”

From Noble mtl dot com

When I spoke calmly, Lucia lowered her face slightly, making a sound of embarrassment or disgust, but she did not look upset.

On the contrary, her face is flushed and the corners of her mouth are fluttering upward, so she seems to be in quite a good mood.

As expected, Lucia has a taste for teasing people in small ways like this.

“Faust?”

“Hmm…”

“What do you mean by that?”

“–Huh?”

At that moment, I hear a voice from behind that I shouldn’t hear.

There are literally all kinds of voices, including voices that say they knew that, voices that seem to be drowning out their emotions while watching a drama, voices that seem to be interrogating.

And the owners of those voices are… Iris, Celestine, and Lena.

“You, you guys…!”

As I hurriedly turn around, I caught the deformed figures of the children with my eyes.

Just like Lucia, the children turned into devils.

In a space filled with black water, the children spread their devil wings and the shared emblem engraved on each body part glows pink.

Lucia was very surprised to see them, and I was also so surprised that I couldn’t believe her eyes.

“How surprised Lucia was when she suddenly became a demon and escaped her protective shield…”

“This great flood is made of Master Faust’s demon energy, so his body reacts and turns into a devil at will?”

“That’s enough, so what did you just say, Master Faust?”

Unlike Iris and Celestine, Lena continues to interrogate me.

She showed no interest in anything and just kept asking for an explanation about what I said about saving the children later.

Uh… Um… Uh…

“…It’s a punishment, this is.”

“It’s a punishment.”

Lena approaches me, flapping her wings with her mouth silently closed, and Iris and Celestine follow Lena and approach me.

I need to think of something to excuse myself, but I can’t because the current situation is too urgent for me to think of such a thing.

“Hey, guys? What are you doing here now!?”

“It’s a bee.”

Lucia is embarrassed when she sees the party members covering my body, but Lena silences her by saying that it is her punishment.

No, it wasn’t just Lucia’s mouth that was blocked.

My mouth, my area, every part of me was covered by the children’s.

“Eup, eup-eup!!”

It was summer.
