The moment you remove the ring from your middle finger.
I felt the magic power beneath the surface of the water quickly rise.
Seo Jun-ho muttered in a dissatisfied voice.
“By the way, there are no horns on my head.
la… …
Hwaaak!
The blades of darkness formed in an instant in the air sway and dance in a dizzying manner.
“It’s a lump, you bastard.”
To borrow Reiji’s words, this or her instilled humility(?).
Patter!
The cut flesh fell and the humidity rose sharply in the room due to blood.
“Hiccup.”
The lord who hiccuped without knowing
The pupils rolled back and forth.
He immediately knelt down after seeing his subordinates divided into hundreds.
“Please save me. I’ll give you anything you want.”
“… … and.”
I was honestly surprised. I never thought the speed of resignation would be so fast.
Seo Jun-ho let out a laugh and nodded.
“Well, this is the demon realm. Now I feel like I’m in the demon realm.”
In this land, the strong die rather early.
A strong guy has to prove himself endlessly.
The moment the proof ends, there is only one.
It’s only when no one challenges you.
“Here, rather, the lord. A cunning guy like you will live a long time.”
These quick-witted guys who lie down under the strong and become parasitic.
How did Yeongju respond to Seo Jun-ho’s harsh criticism?
smiled brightly.
“No, that’s right. haha.”
“Come to think of it, lord, I haven’t even heard your name yet.”
Yeongju, lord, I’m going to get attached to calling you.
“Ah, I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is… …
Chow ah!
The darkness passed as the blade cut through the lord’s neck.
Seo Jun-ho got up from his seat with a sad face and approached the lord, who might have died.
“Come to think of it, I’m not really curious.”
It’s a memory anyway, so you can read it.
He hesitated for a moment in front of the lord’s corpse.
-partner.
“… … know. You don’t have to worry.”
I thought I brushed it all off, but did a little bit remain?
Seo Jun-ho took a deep breath.
It was because when he read Melis’ memories in the past, memories of the ‘Grand Duke’ he encountered came to his mind.
“Confessions of a Dead Man.”
The hand that stretched out courageously opened several windows in front of my eyes.
Seo Jun-ho, who rolled his eyes at them, nodded.
“… “also.”
After reading some fragmentary memories, Seo Jun-ho nodded.
At the time of Melis, he could only see the residual memories left in his body.
I had always wondered why, but this made it clear.
‘Perhaps it’s because I ate his magic.’
That is Melis and the lord.
Because it was the only difference between killing two demons.
– Too bad.
“I know.”
Seo Jun-ho absorbed the remaining demons floating around the room by using the Dark Sentinel ability.
“Um, I’m going to have to worry about this from now on.”
He licked his lips and murmured.
It was because the amount of demonic energy absorbed just now was absurdly insufficient.
‘I didn’t expect it because they’re only a low-level demon… …
Isn’t the lord still a demon who rules a village?
However, the Magi absorbed from him was only at the level of dropping a few drops of water into his magical lake.
The reason was simple.
“Reading memories or absorbing demonic energy. It means you have to choose one or the other.”
-For the time being, I think it’s better to give up magic and get memories.
“i think so too.”
It is said that he read the lord’s memory, but this guy’s position in the demon realm was not very high.
lower-middle-class demons.
The edge of the continent connected to the sea of death, the backcountry of remote areas.
At most, he was the lord who ruled over such a place.
‘I need more advanced information from a higher level demon than this guy.’
Putting the ring on his middle finger again, Seo Jun-ho moved on.
Through the memory of the lord, where to go
Because I found out if I could meet such a guy.
‘But now we have to think
case… …
When he left the mansion, he could see the village at a glance.
The appearances of the demons that came into sight were no different from humans.
That was the reason Seo Jun-ho was seriously thinking about it.
Just because they were demons, about whether it was okay to kill them all.
“Ah, are you done with your business already?”
The gatekeeper guarding the entrance to the mansion recognized him and spoke to him.
Perhaps because he thought he was an important guest who brought Melis’ will, he was very polite.
Seo Jun-ho, who glanced at him, opened his mouth.
“Let’s ask one thing.”
“Tell me.”
“For what the hell are those young demons training so hard for?”
When he was that age, he ran around the playground and covered himself with dirt and played.
However, the demons were training rigorously despite their young age.
The gatekeeper opened his eyes wide and asked.
“Isn’t that obvious? Isn’t this the demon realm?”
“Those children’s dreams are different, but it’s obvious what they think at that age.”
He explains as he folds his fingers one by one.
did.
“There will be those who want to become nobles by advancing into the center, those who realized their capabilities early will go under the lord, and those who are ambitious at least will look for an opportunity to join hands and kill the lord.”
“… … Is that so too?”
I knew.
Through the memory of the lord, I learned more about what kind of demons they were.
However, it was only one person’s memory after all, so cross-validation was necessary.
it cost
“So Yeongju is just watching those children until they grow up?”
“It can’t be. I’m sure the lord is also choosing those with impure hearts. On the day you have a heart attack, you will immediately be taken to that plaza.”
No matter how young the opponent is, if it is considered to be their competitor, they will kill it without mercy.
that’s the devil Because it is a land ruled by the logic of power.
One last thing.”
Seo Jun-ho turned his head and looked at him.
“Are there any demons who insist on coexistence with humans?”
“Ah, you mean the moderates.”
There was a slight anticipation in Seo Jun-ho’s eyes.
is there Demons who want to coexist with humans?
“But, well, that is a thing of the past. Didn’t they all die when they were reorganized into the 4th Earl system? those stupid things.”
That moment.
Seo Jun-ho felt only one emotion.
“… … thank you.”
To myself who was looking for a ‘reason’ to kill them, to myself who was looking for a ‘justification’ to justify myself.
More than anything else, it was thanks for instilling strong conviction.
“As expected, the only good demons are dead demons.”
“yes? Did I hear you wrong?”
The gatekeeper’s body was split vertically as he stupidly turned his head.
Seo Jun-ho, who was still looking down at the dead man who couldn’t even scream once, murmured.
“Maybe I can look like a devil to you guys.”
But it doesn’t matter.
In order to protect something precious, he was even prepared to become a devil.
On that day, the small town of Berman disappeared from the map along with 257 demons.
* * *
Count who rules the south.
Gorgon suddenly raised his head.
As a result, the meeting was stopped for a while, and the demons who were reporting were cautiously asking.
“Count, was there something you didn’t like?”
“Did anyone feel it?”
At that question, the subordinates only blinked their eyes.
After thinking about this for a while, Gorgon shook his head.
“No, nothing.”
I thought I felt an aura equivalent to ‘extinction’ for a moment.
However, it doesn’t make sense that these guys aren’t fools, and they can’t read the ‘three’ monsters in the Pandemonium except for themselves.
‘I must have felt wrong.’
Because the energy was so weak.
Gorgon raised his hand for a moment.
“I am tired today. Briefly to the point.”
“yes. Count Horizon of the West is enlarging the front line.”
“..tsu”
‘Big.
Gorgon clicked his tongue.
If it was like before, I would rather have expanded the front line from this side first. Because he was confident.
However, he was currently recuperating.
‘Even though I didn’t overdo it then.’
Player Seo Jun-ho.
Feeling an unknown reluctance from him, the repulsive force of going against the system and forcibly kidnapping him to the 9th floor was quite strong.
Thanks to that, I’ve already been recuperating for more than half a year.
‘Did you notice it soon?’
Rather, it was enough to last for a long time.
Even if the exchanges between the counts were sparse, it would be suspicious to anyone to shut themselves up in their own territory for half a year.
I actually smelled it to some extent
Horizon of Wealth had been trying to touch him recently.
“How do I respond?”
“… … What do you think you want from that side?”
“Looking at the established front lines, it seems that they are aiming for Karshut Mine, which has the second largest amount of magic stones in our land.”
The Gorgon’s eyebrows twitched once.
‘I don’t know about other places, but I can’t go to Karshut.’
The moment it is taken away, the balance of power
It collapses.
Above all, giving it up quietly is like confessing your weakness to the other three counts.
The Gorgon sighed and ordered.
“Harran, Friggs. I will give you thirty high-ranking demons and an army to protect the mine.”
“All right.”
“I will not allow them to step on the mine ground even once.”
The Gorgon waved his hand as he looked at the bowing subordinates.
“Then everyone go out. I have something to think about.”
As the demons retreated, Gorgon closed his eyes.
‘Not good.’
If this kind of illness lasts for a long time, the problem is not only the enemies.
Even within their own forces, the demons who want to purify themselves will raise their heads one after another.
“It is difficult. difficult.”
The Gorgon sighed lightly.
In this case, a really trustworthy devil
If only I was by your side, things would be easier.
That no one can be absolutely trusted.
It was no different from a curse that demons would have to carry for the rest of their lives.
“Karshut Mine.”
Seo Jun-ho muttered.
At his feet lay a corpse still warm.
He was the lord of the town of Bellmarion or something.
“It’s fun. what do you think about it?”
– I see it as half and half.
At the analysis of his intuition, Seo Jun-ho showed an expression of interest.
“Half and half? Please explain in detail.”
-In the current situation, there is no need to go to the place where the two counts are engaged in a war of nerves. not too risky
“but?”
-but… … If you can make a plausible performance, the future of luck
it will widen
That was the correct answer.
The value of the magic stone mine in the Pandemonium was that high.
“Besides, Karshut Mine has the second largest reserve of magic stones in the south.”
-There will definitely be strong demons deployed. least advanced. Perhaps the highest rank, called nobility, will come.
“It’s called high risk, high return.”
After bouncing the abacus for a while, Seo Jun-ho came to a conclusion.
“Let’s go to the mine.”
-Are you okay? When things get big, the two counts may appear. As Reiji said, my partner is not yet at the level of fighting two sex annihilators.
“know. But I’m not going to go there.”
If you’ve made up your mind to become a devil, then you must become a proper devil to the core.
“intuition. What do you think is the greatest weakness of demons?”
-hmm. Is it that he easily bows his head when meeting someone stronger than himself?
“That’s not wrong, but there are other, more serious weaknesses.”
– What is it?
Whoa!
Seo Jun-ho, who absorbed all the demonic energy around him, muttered as he left the ruined village.
“That they don’t trust each other even after they die and wake up.”
That was their weakness as they wandered the world of demons.
It was exactly the 20th day since entering the Demon Realm.
