Chapter 212 – 212. Strategy (2)
●
“away-!!”
A voice full of anger resonates loudly.
The Red Devil’s blazing gaze flew towards me and focused on me.
“you…”
Sort of like growling.
Like a wounded animal roaring
“What do you know about me…!”
To know is to know.
It’s just written down in the settings book.
[…I was very angry?]
‘It’s worth it.’
From that point of view, a stranger jumps out, steals your lips, and even makes strange comments about how it would be better to make you happy.
‘Isn’t it fascinating, Caliban?’
[what?]
‘The devils are doing things that are so close to human emotions.’
I remember saying this to Kwon Seong once in the past.
Those things called devils.
Actually, it looks more human-like than you might think.
So, what I’m trying to do now will definitely work.
“…I’m tired of dealing with you. ”
While I was thinking about that, the image world began to change rapidly.
“It crumbles and dies. “On the subject of insect-like humans…”
The surrounding environment begins to stir. As if it was trying to surround me and devour me.
but.
< System Message >
[‘Seal of Fallen Heaven’ reacts to the presence of the devil! ] [ The other person’s energy is hostile. The inherent energy automatically resists! ]
Contrary to their intentions, there is no significant change in my condition.
Instead, the seal on his chest glows. The dull light coming from there blocks all the red light coming towards me from the surroundings.
The Red Devil’s eyes widened slightly when he saw that.
“…It’s gray.”
Next, the guy gritted his teeth.
“You put a seal on a human being. “What are you thinking?”
“I don’t know.”
I sigh and answer.
No, actually, I really don’t know.
I understand that this seal is an enormous item that changes my ‘race value’, and that it has all kinds of functions.
There’s something more than I thought… I also feel like there’s an important ‘function’ hidden there.
It’s like laying the groundwork for a very important situation that will come in the future.
‘…anyway.’
But, what is important in the current situation is.
“What is certain is that I am not a person who will die as easily as you think.”
I’m not crazy enough to jump into the devil defenselessly.
It is a seal that has consumed all the magical energy of the white devil, gray devil, purple devil, and blue devil. Even if you encounter the devil directly in the world of images, it will give you enough time to resist, even if only for a moment.
“…So, let’s talk briefly.”
“…”
I continue speaking calmly to the red devil who is silent and staring at me.
As long as the power of the seal lasts, you can say whatever you want. You’ll probably be able to kill him after that anyway.
[…You can barely defeat the devil with that?]
‘Who will defeat it?’
I answer with a grin.
In the first place, the reason I came here was to talk.
I didn’t come here to fight.
“…Say whatever you want.”
The Red Devil crossed his arms and his eyes lit up.
The red irises sparkled magically.
“Once that period is over, I will rip your soul apart and kill you, and everything will go as planned. “You can’t stop it with the small things outside-”
“To burn the whole world and make Feinol alone?”
“…”
The Red Devil frowned and closed his mouth.
Because what I said got straight to the point of what this guy was trying to do.
The first thing this guy does by retrieving the demon’s body from the Void Zone is, as I said, turn the world into ashes.
The reason is.
“…It’s better to be alone than to get hurt.”
No one, ‘like before’.
So as not to hurt Feinol.
It erases the object itself.
The first place I set my sights on was a small village in the countryside.
The second enemy was the Magic Tower.
Either way, it is clear that it will remain as a traumatic memory for Feinol.
If you think back on your knowledge of the game, you’ll see what happened there.
It must have been such a terrible thing that this guy claimed, ‘It’s better to burn it all down before getting hurt.’
The reason I couldn’t treat this guy harshly as soon as I saw him was because I knew his past.
But still.
“I will stop you from doing it.”
“…”
“Because he needs to know that the world is a wonderful place. “When I say ‘makes you happy,’ that includes that.”
The world is like that.
If you can experience something terrible, shouldn’t you know that something wonderful can also happen?
Just like I learned from someone before.
“…It’s ridiculous.”
The Red Devil received the words while rubbing his head.
“What pain Feinol went through, how much he crawled through the mud, how much do you understand-”
“I am.”
Interrupt the guy’s conversation in a calm voice.
“He was abandoned immediately after birth, and was found in a trash can with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck.”
“…”
“That’s my first memory. “I kind of know what life sucks.”
Me, from now on.
I’m going to convince this guy.
There is no point in just defeating the Red Devil. It is meaningful to know what ‘happiness’ is in its true meaning.
In order to do that, this guy’s heart must first be opened.
so.
“…If it’s just a little bit, just for a little while, that’s fine.”
It would be okay to ‘show’ this guy.
“Would you please listen to an old story?”
A story from my past.
●
If he could rise to the rank of archbishop within the Holy Empire, it would be clear that Archbishop Luminol was also a man who had experienced many hardships.
And as someone like that, I can say this for sure.
Dowd Campbell is the most pitiful man in the world.
“No, you mean I’m the 91st?”
“You probably only do that in your dreams.”
A blue-haired woman wearing gauntlets and swinging her fists and a woman holding a dagger in both hands exchange such a conversation.
Even as they were having that conversation, nearby creatures of Pandemonium that had been swept away by these two were falling like leaves in a cold wind.
“…Aren’t you guys actually getting along pretty well?”
And Princess Tristan, who said those words, and the black-haired girl next to her were also formidable.
Although the methods of using the sword are different, the majesty emanating from the tip of the sword was enough to make you feel that you were both in the realm of mastery.
“…Please refrain from saying such things, even as a joke, Senior Elnor.”
“Hereafter, we are alumni!”
And as the four of them continue to fight together, a mountain of corpses is piling up around them even while having such a frivolous conversation.
It’s not a battle or anything. It’s almost like a joke, just messing with the other person.
“Uh, father.”
“What’s wrong, Lana?”
“…I came to help after hearing that it was such a huge crisis that the world could end.”
Lana Ray Delvium scratched her head in embarrassment.
“Do we even need this?”
“…”
Instead of responding, Archbishop Luminol simply stroked his chin in silence.
It is said that, except for the Hell Guard, no serious life forms have been released yet, but if you look at it, it is a disaster itself, as Lana said.
The portal to Pandemonium opens. There must be quite a few people who go crazy just listening to it.
however.
There are women who can subdue that so easily.
‘…I even feel sympathy for you.’
Even though the man who did such a cruel thing to my daughter was the other person, I had no choice but to say something like that.
I heard that all the women were fighting over a man named Dowd.
Living a life of walking a tightrope while being surrounded by people like this must be so terrible that at least Luminol can’t even imagine.
“…Don’t relax too much, kid.”
But, that’s it.
Luminol said and turned his attention to the Red Devil’s vessel inside the pillar of fire.
The problem is over there.
After Daoud touched the other side, the vessel remained motionless, curled up in the air.
If you look closely at those eyes, they are out of focus, as if you have lost your mind.
At first glance, it may seem like they have been suppressed, but despite that, the portals opening around them show no signs of stopping, and the pillar of fire shows no signs of abating.
If we leave it like this.
It certainly looked like it would cause damage to the Chicheon’s barrier spread around it.
“Hero candidate, are you ready?”
“…Not yet!”
Elijah, who was whining and holding the holy sword with both hands, answered nervously.
Rather than simply holding it, it looked as if he was exerting magical energy around his surroundings in order to ‘connect’ the holy sword with something.
“Don’t tell me! Because the teacher said that we must somehow succeed in ‘communicating’ with the Holy Sword…!”
“…I’m sorry about that. But I don’t think it will be that easy.”
What is inside the holy sword is nothing else but the power left behind by the angels of the other world.
There’s no way I could awaken it just by moving my magic like that.
“Then did you at least give me a hint?”
“…You are the first among the people who held the holy sword in the first place to not die but not experience brilliance. It might be difficult to help. “If brilliance had occurred even once, it could at least help guess the clue…”
At those words, Elijah stopped and looked at Archbishop Luminol.
“…a little while ago.”
Next, she hesitantly spoke.
It seems like something that is very difficult to talk about.
“Well, you know. “When I think about you, I seem to glow a little.”
Archbishop Luminol’s eyes widened.
“…Then shouldn’t we just start from there? How can you think about that man? “How did you think about it and the brilliance arose?”
“…”
Elijah, with a slight blush on his face, took a deep breath for a moment.
Next, a voice that seemed to be crawling came out of her with her eyes tightly closed.
“…I realized once again that the teacher is a very important person to me…and the light shines from the sword…”
“uh!”
suddenly.
Lana’s exclamation came out.
“…Wasn’t that shining just now?”
At Lana’s words, Elijah opened his eyes and glared at the holy sword.
“…what?”
“When Elijah said that just now, I saw him light up a little.”
“…”
Elijah looked the holy sword up and down with disbelieving eyes.
Shined?
this?
Did you just say that?
“How about trying one more time?”
“…what?”
Elijah responded to Lana’s words in a tone of bewilderment, but instead, he tilted his head in Lana’s direction and responded in a strange voice.
“No, I guess the sword didn’t react because you reacted to Mr. Dowd like a girl in love. Would you like to continue with that thread?”
“…Are you kidding, are you kidding me…?!”
Elijah said this while trembling, but Archbishop Luminol urgently answered his words.
“No, I think that’s right too. In the name of the Archbishop, that light just now must have been the brilliance of the Holy Sword!”
“…”
“Try to grab the strand in that direction. hurry!”
A blush quickly rose on Elijah’s face, with a serious look that was not even playful.
“Uh… Ugh…”
“Elijah, cheer up! But I think you have to do it right now!”
Despite continued urging, Elijah barely opened his mouth even though he was trembling with shame.
“Well… to me… the teacher… is a very, very cool person…”
Light appeared slightly within the holy sword.
But it is only very faint.
“Oh, it’s shiny, but it’s not enough! Try expressing it more explicitly!”
“Well… well, it’s cool… sometimes, whenever you smile at me, my heart starts pounding helplessly…”
The light blinks again.
However, it was still far from bright.
“more! In slightly stronger words!”
“W-what more here…?!”
“yes! “How much does Mr. Elijah love Mr. Dowd!”
At Lana’s shout, Elijah’s eyes began to widen.
“Uh, how much… uh,”
“Then you love that sword!”
The speed at which my eyes were spinning accelerated.
“Yeah, right…! Sa, I love you!”
As soon as those words were said, the holy sword began to light up again.
After confirming that it was effective, Lana let out an exclamation of “Oh” again. That may be the reason why the following sentences became more extreme.
“If you’re in love, you’ve probably dreamed of getting married at least once! “What kind of child do you like?”
“Uh, uh…? Oh, kid?! “Wouldn’t three, three be appropriate?”
“If you have your first child, what will it be?”
“Ah… ah ah… wife, the first is daughter!”
“Where do you like for your honeymoon? Beach? Spa? vacation spot?”
“…Oh, hot springs!”
“The reason is? honestly!”
“Seo, teacher, you’re in much better shape than I thought! Ha, I want to see you one more time!”
The questions that came in succession became more and more extreme, and Elijah’s sentences, which he answered while barely holding on to the reason that was on the verge of being lost as his eyes were rolling, were also becoming more and more extreme.
“…”
“…”
Slowly, people around me started to ask what they were doing.
Even Archbishop Luminol, who had been trying to figure things out, was looking at the two with narrowed eyes.
However, in reality, every time Elijah said something harsh, the radiance flowing from the holy sword became stronger, so it was impossible to stop him in the middle.
To some extent, I hope that such questions and answers will continue.
“Then, the last thing I wish for Mr. Dowd!”
“Honestly, I wish you would pounce on me one time–!!!!”
And it seems that such efforts were not in vain.
A bright light burst out from the holy sword along with a sentence that burst out like a scream from Elijah with a tearful expression. As the halo of light intertwines around, it creates a complex pattern.
And when Luminol saw that, his eyes widened.
“The brilliance of the Archangel…!”
The pinnacle of all angels.
The pattern of the Archangel was drawn on the top of the holy sword.
“Father, is this okay?”
“…everything happens. However, among the warriors of all time, there has never been a person whose holy sword gave rise to the brilliance of a heavenly angel…!”
Next to Archbishop Luminol, who spoke like he had made the discovery of the century.
“…I… am going to die…”
Elijah’s quietly sobbing voice spread solemnly through the surroundings.
