Chapter 675
“What do you want from me?”
Gluttony nodded without hearing Lars’ scream.
Even in the midst of this, seeing people losing their minds and losing their appetite, it was clear that they had the attribute of gluttony.
“Once they are here, don’t touch them.”
Raon glared at Gluttony with Lars’ blue eyes.
“Because they are all the King’s subordinates.”
“Uhm… .”
Gluttony chewed its lips slightly, as if feeling regretful. By the look on her face, it looked like she was really going to eat it if she didn’t say anything.
Anyway, there was no normal among the demon kings.
“The one you ate is a member of Grid. I was going to engrave the price on his soul for messing with the king’s subordinate… .”
Raon looked down at Gluttony and tilted his chin.
“You swallowed me alive. There… .”
Ras spread his energy sharply and pointed at himself with his finger.
“I even made it look like this.”
“Uhm… .”
Gluttony twitched his eyebrows and took a step back.
“Once it enters your mouth, there is no way it will come out again, so you will definitely receive a reward.”
“… … .”
She lowered her shoulders as if she had nothing to say.
Looking at it this way, I felt that the power and presence of the purple cotton candy were the highest among the demon lords.
-How did you find out about Gluttony’s mouth?!
Lars stuck his face out from his chest.
‘You told me.’
Raon tilted his head, looking at Lars’ round eyes.
-When will the king come?
‘If you get eaten by that mouth, even the main king will not be able to save you, so quickly hand over the body to the main king. ‘I said.’
Thanks to what he said, I realized that the white lips that Gluttony summons are dangerous, and I also came up with a way to get her power.
-Ugh!
Lars grabbed his shaking head and screamed.
-You’re going crazy! Why did you say that! The mouth of this king!
The guy said that the problem is that he always talks and tapped his mouth.
“Then you just have to stop eating the humans here?”
Gluttony lowered his head as if he had made a major concession. It was absurd to think that was a concession.
“You are sorely mistaken. “That is not a demand, it is a warning.”
Raon frowned as he looked at Gluttony’s white mouth.
“If you don’t want your tongue to be pulled out, it would be better to bend it on its own.”
“eww… .”
When Gluttony groaned and shook its head, the white lips floating in the air melted into the darkness.
-Ugh. I will turn away!
Lars shouted, swinging his round fist.
-Why does the more I practice swordsmanship, the better my acting skills become?
‘It’s innate.’
Because he lived as an assassin and played many human roles, deceiving simple demon lords was easier than anything else.
“Insectivore.”
Raon enjoyed Lars’ struggles and then slowly looked up.
“Give up your power.”
He pointed his finger at Gluttony, who was waiting for an answer.
“… “My power?”
“So it is.”
“You want <Appetite>?”
Gluttony’s eyes widened as if it thought it was unexpected.
“why?”
“Why does the king have to answer to you?”
Raon calmly shook his head. If you talk too much here, Gluttony may get suspicious.
The correct answer was to use Lars’s power to keep quiet.
“All you have to do is decide. Either your tongue is pulled out here, or you surrender your power and disappear.”
Extreme bravado. Right now, if Gluttony makes a single gesture, everyone here will die, but without the slightest hesitation, he raises his gaze proudly.
-Ahhh… .
Lars groaned, clutching his temples.
-Bo, it looks like the king will be fooled too. Still, don’t be fooled!
The guy raised his hand towards Gluttony.
-You insectivore! Kill this guy! He is like an angel who will pose a threat not only to the human world, but also to the demon world!
Lars screamed, but of course Gluttony couldn’t hear him.
“after… .”
Gluttony sighed briefly.
“I think I’m hungry, but I understand.”
She nodded as if she had no choice.
-No, no!
Lars clutched his head and let out a scream.
-Why are there only demon lords like these brats! why!
‘You’re the biggest guy.’
It was funny to see the first and most generous hogu criticizing the other hogu.
‘Now all I have to do is decide how to receive power from Gluttony.’
-Now, wait!
Lars quickly raised his hand as he smiled.
– Are you really planning on receiving it in some other form, not just a flower bracelet?
‘however?’
You can’t see it now, but the three flower bracelets are all Lars’s taste. Now I wanted to receive it in a different form.
-A guy with no sense of aesthetics! Don’t you even know how to match?
‘Do you know?’
-But why!
‘Because I hate flower bracelets more.
-No way! This king can’t stand being treated poorly!
Lars shook his head, saying he couldn’t compromise on that much.
‘Just take care of your own body.’
After shooing him away, I gestured to Gluttony.
“Gluttony.”
Raon curled up the corner of his mouth, mocking the two demon kings.
“Your power is contained in the wrist of this King…” .”
He was pointing at his wrist and trying to explain how to transfer power to Gluttony.
“What are you doing now?”
A deep voice came from above Gluttony, as if it were pressing heavily on my ears.
“uh… ?”
Raon raised his gaze and swallowed dry saliva. A young man was seen resting his chin on Gluttony’s head.
He is a tall handsome young man with black hair and slightly tanned skin. She wore a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a black vest, and a gold monocle over her right eye.
‘What is that guy…? .’
It is different from gluttony, which distorts space just by breathing.
Even though it was right in front of me, I couldn’t feel any presence. If it weren’t for the fact that the floor was slightly lowered, I would have thought it was an illusion.
-You came as expected…? .
When I heard Lars’ moans, I thought I knew who that man was.
‘Las. That can’t be… .’
-That would be correct.
Lars nodded heavily.
-Lord of greed. It’s a grid.
The moment I heard the name Grid, a chill ran down my spine.
Since Silkret was a member of Grid, I thought he might appear.
But I didn’t know it would show up at this timing. It was the worst situation.
“grid.”
Gluttony raised his eyes and looked at Grid resting his chin on his head.
“Why are you here?”
“Because you ate my family.”
Grid looked down at Gluttony and laughed. Even though he was attacked, only a relaxed and smiling face appeared on his face.
“I was already getting scolded for that.”
Gluttony chewed his appetite while looking at Raon.
“Scolding you? who?”
“Las.”
She raised her hand and pointed at Raon.
“Lasla… .”
Grid’s golden eyes scanned Ra’s body eerily.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
He chuckled and shook his chin.
“That’s a human being.”
When I heard Grid say I was human, the hair on my whole body stood up.
“human?”
Gluttony tilted its head as if wondering what he was talking about.
“Hair color, eyes, and magic are all Lass?”
“that’s right. The hair color, eyes, and magic are all the same. but… .”
The corners of Grid’s mouth curled up.
“That’s a human.”
He nodded as if he was convinced.
“… … .”
Raon didn’t respond at all. He kept his sunken gaze, but his heart was beating so fast it felt like it was going to explode.
-As expected, that guy notices.
Lars didn’t look very happy even though he was caught by Grid. Rather, he looked annoyed.
-I should have said it before. Greed and arrogance are different from those you made a fool of.
The guy snapped his finger.
-Prepare to hand over your body to the King. If you make a mistake, you will cross a river from which there is no return.
Lars spoke quietly and did not take his eyes off Grid. For the first time, the guy seemed nervous.
‘… Damn it.’
By lightly chewing his tongue, he caused direct damage to the mana circuits of his shoulders and arms.
If acting doesn’t work, I really need to take out the Demon Lord Kangrim, so I created a wound on purpose.
“It’s not.”
Gluttony still slightly pursed his lips as if he couldn’t believe it.
“Then should I ask you directly?”
Grid turned his head to Raon. Golden eyes that seemed to have mastered everything in heaven and earth gave off a soft glow.
“How long do you plan on acting?”
“… … .”
Raon looked into Grid’s eyes. He still showed no force or presence.
Just looking into his eyes made me feel nauseous, as if I had suffered an internal injury. He pressed down on her trembling breasts and proudly lifted her chin.
“Miscellaneous. “You saved up so much money that your eyes turned into gold coins?”
“under!”
Grid swept up the hair that had fallen from his forehead and let out an exclamation.
“It really looks like Lars. “That’s what the squad leader would have said.”
He leisurely flicked his finger as if he still thought it was not Lars.
“The Gluttony and others here may have been fooled… .”
A creepy light flickered above Grid’s eyes.
“I can’t fake it. “Who are you?”
The moment I heard his words, my heart tightened. It felt like his tongue was paralyzed because his breath was suffocating.
‘You shouldn’t be nervous.’
Even Gluttony may be suspicious if you stutter here. I had to go out confidently until the end.
“I already had something to say to you. “Because the colt you raised raised a quarrel with the king.”
Raon pressed down his pounding heart and twisted his mouth.
“Not only will I get paid from Gluttony, but you will also get paid.”
-her… .
Lars looked up at Raon and sighed.
-He’s really crazy… .
The guy shook his head as if he was impressed by Raon, who continued to act even during this time.
“If you really are Lass, you can pay at least a price. but… .”
Grid narrowed his eyes while maintaining a smile.
“You are not Lars.”
“Another bullshit… .”
“Shall I tell you why I am so sure?”
He raised his finger and tapped his monocle.
“These glasses show the other person’s true nature. “I can see your humble soul wriggling like an insect.”
“… … .”
Raon chewed his inner lip, forcing himself to keep a blank expression.
‘This is really dangerous.’
If those glasses were really an artifact that could see the fundamentals, then this act had no meaning. An eerie feeling came over me, as if my chest was being pierced with a needle.
“okay. I’ll admit it. “He’s definitely good at acting.”
Grid smiled brightly and raised his long, thin fingers.
“I’m just curious if you can still act even if your head is blown off.”
-That won’t work.
Lars looked into Grid’s eyes and shook his head resolutely.
-Your acting was perfect, but that guy doesn’t trust others. Any further delay would be truly dangerous. Get yourself right now… .
‘There’s not enough time.’
The distance between my body and soul has not yet grown enough to accept Lars. I needed a little more time.
‘I have to buy time somehow… ah!’
To kill time, I was reflecting on the conversation so far, but there was something strange about what Grid said.
‘My soul is worthless?’
When I was operating the Ring of Fire, my soul was of such a high standard that Ras recognized it.
It was clear that Greed’s words were mixed with lies, as he trivialized the status of the soul recognized by the high-minded Ras.
‘The chances are high.’
There is no law that says you can’t lie just because you’re the devil. Lars was just unique.
Now that everyone had left, I had to say something to bide my time.
“It’s a joke.”
Raon straightened his back. She looked into Grid’s eyes and drew her sneer.
“Did you think the King would be fooled by such a lie? “It looks like your head got damaged while counting money.”
“Huh… .”
Grid let out a sigh as if it was absurd.
“This is truly inhumane.”
He clapped his hands and chuckled.
“that’s right. As you said, there is no such thing. but… .”
Grid chuckled and took off his monocle.
“It doesn’t change that you are human.”
“The reason… .”
“The merchant’s instincts are speaking. “You are human.”
Grid waved his hand as if nothing more was needed.
“Tsk… .”
Raon clicked his tongue briefly.
‘It doesn’t work either.’
This is the sense that has saved me until now. The demon lord with those golden eyes was convinced that I was not Lass.
‘I don’t have enough time… .’
My hands were shaking because of the thought that even if I handed over my body to Ras in this state, I wouldn’t be able to use my full strength, because I was worried that there would be aftereffects if I used the real Demon King’s Descent when I was close to life or death, and because I felt sorry for everyone here.
-Raon Sieghardt.
Lars twitched his fingers heavily.
-Okay, hand yourself over right now.
‘what?’
-Even if that merchant is the culprit of this incident, I will take responsibility because the king is convinced that it is a fair contract.
The guy reflected on the fact that there was no problem with the demon contract and said that he would take responsibility for everything.
-By accepting my king, I will cover more than half of the damage to you.
‘uh… .’
– Make a decision quickly! If you’re late, you’re out of luck!
Ras shouted as he looked into Grid’s eyes filled with murderous intent.
‘Damn it!’
Raon tore the mana circuit and organs to a larger extent. I didn’t feel any pain, perhaps because of the tension, but my vision began to blur.
I could feel Lars’ soul seeping into the examination between body and soul.
“There won’t be any need for warm-up.”
Grid raised his finger with a bitter smile.
“On the topic of business.”
Raon endured the pain and twisted his mouth.
“I have a better mind than that guy.”
Grid took the right step. The light steps, as if going for a walk, transcended space. He was already standing in front of Raon.
At that moment, time stops.
The entire world was covered in black, white, and black and white, and the past and current lives were connected like a knot. It felt like death was approaching.
Before I could feel Grid’s fingers cutting through the air, I felt the pain of the skin on my neck being cut.
Squeaky!
Just as my skin was cracking and my cervical vertebrae were about to split, my body and soul opened wide like a clam shell.
Ras did not miss that moment and pushed his soul all the way into the sword world.
Touuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!
There is a roar that distorts the flow of the world.
A deep blue radiance surged through the dark sky. The silver moon halo, like a shower, washed away the demonic energy that covered the entire kingdom.
A soft glow flickered above the world tree of frost that tore through the space and rose up.
Among the fluttering blue leaves, the Blue Demon King and the Gold Demon King stood with their fingers intertwined.
“Those arrogant eyes. “This is how it should be.”
Grid smiled brightly as if he had predicted this situation. He was still relaxed even with Ras in front of him.
“What on earth was that person?”
“What kind of bullshit are you talking about?”
Lars’ sharp blue eyes pressed against Grid’s golden eyes.
“How long are you planning on lying? “Until just a moment ago, it was a human who was in control of your body.”
“This is the real king.”
Lars straightened his back as if covering Raon’s skin. His eyes sparkled with silver determination.
“The pettiness of the past and the arrogance of the present are all due to the original king.”
