§ 112. Monster Task Force (5)
In the middle of the Imperial Medical Center, a strange scene that would be difficult to see again in one’s life was unfolding.
“How far are you going to hinder me! “Do you guys really want to die?!”
“It’s no use using clumsy tricks, you stupid bastard!”
“Your petty tricks won’t work, you nasty bastard!”
Asley Bettcher was going wild, getting angry at himself, mocking himself, and literally going crazy on the bed.
Masaine, who had drawn his sword and was looking at the figure anxiously, asked Logan in a low voice.
“devil… is it? Lowering?”
It’s not that it’s not, it’s Astley. No, it’s face that borrows Astley’s form is distorted as viciously as a devil.
His eyes were so wide open that all the veins burst and the whites of his eyes turned blood red.
It looked exactly like the image of a vengeful devil who had just crawled out of hell.
However, Logan, who was examining his appearance with serious eyes, shook his head.
“It’s something different from the devil’s magic.”
“What do you mean?”
“Rather, I think it’s another soul. “It looks as if several evil spirits are fighting inside that student’s body.”
Jonathan, who was hiding behind the group and trembling, spoke in a hushed voice.
“Then hurry up and exorcise…” … .”
“I guess so. However, even though it is an evil spirit, it doesn’t feel that bad, so I’m not sure if it will take a toll on its divine power.”
In the midst of their serious conversation, only Seongjin was sweating and rolling his eyes.
uh… Am I the only one who thinks this?
No matter how I look at it, it seems like some of the evil spirits controlling Asley Becher are Herna and Kadesh, the twins?
I’m not sure how they got here, but is it okay to just let them exorcise like this?
“Kaaaaak!”
“Keuuuuuuu!”
Now Astley Bettcher is strangling himself and moaning.
His lips were turning black and his eyes were turning white, and he looked like he was going to run out of breath at any moment.
Seongjin swallowed without realizing it.
‘Wow, it’s bloody… … .’
It’s not a horror movie, so why does it send shivers down my spine to see him go crazy like that?
Then the devil bastard sneers as if he is exasperated.
[Huh, are you scared of that, considering that you yourself are an evil spirit possessed by Mores?]
‘… shut up!’
Isn’t it natural to feel reluctant? He’s not even an opponent I can punch!
Besides, it’s a bit difficult to treat them the same way. Even if it is an evil spirit, this is an evil spirit that has been recognized by the Holy Emperor!
“Hey, you! Please hurry! If this continues, that friend is really going to die!”
In response to Jonathan’s crying plea, Logan’s face hardened as if he had made up his mind.
He let go of Arjuna’s handle and slowly walked towards Astley Becher. He held his hands outstretched towards Astley, enveloped in divine white light.
“I’m not an official exorcist, but I think I can imitate an exorcist, even if it’s clumsy. Brother Masain, just in case, could you please request assistance from an exorcist while I take my time?”
Masain nodded at his words and quickly ran out of the hospital room.
Astley Bettcher must have sensed something strange, and just rolled his eyes and glared at Logan in the same way he was strangling him.
“I command you in the name of the Lord. “Hurry up and let him go and go back to where you need to go.”
“… … .”
Astley, who had been silently looking at the growing divine power in Logan’s hands, parted the corners of his mouth and let out a deep sneer. A strange yellow glow shines in his red, bloodshot eyes.
“Kkkkkkk, stupid thing! “The proud god of this place has no name!”
However, Logan did not waver, but took a step towards him and spoke in a firm voice.
“His power is the proof of his coming to the world and his name!”
“Don’t be foolhardy! “The will of the nameless is as if it were empty and unreal!”
“The will of the Lord is clearly real through his representatives. “Go away, poor lost evil spirit!”
“Ugh… … .”
Astley grits his teeth and glares at Logan.
Seongjin opened his eyes wide and watched what they were doing.
Seonghwang said that the main deity of Delcross is not a personal god, but does he not even have a name?
He decided somewhat belatedly that one day he should at least read the introduction to Introduction to Theology.
“I-I…” … .”
Astley Bettcher’s spirit seemed to be lost due to Logan’s unwavering attitude.
He let go of the hand that was strangling his neck, took a step back on the bed, and stumbled.
“I am not just an evil spirit! Not an insignificant human soul! “I am the devil!”
However, Seongjin also had doubts about that claim.
Although he said he was a devil, he didn’t seem to feel any particular threat to the divine power that was gradually increasing in Logan’s hands. When it comes to divine power, it looks noticeably different even compared to the devil lord who freaks out.
This may be the reason why Logan, while pressuring him so hard, observes from a distance rather than immediately pouring out his divine power.
“I command you by the power of the Lord. “Get out of here, evil spirit.”
“It’s not an evil spirit!”
At one point, Astley screamed as if torn apart.
The strong roar made me instantly angry and a strong shock wave was created in the room. The bedsheets fluttered and the windows flew open and rattled. Jonathan, who was scared, screamed and fell backwards.
What bothered him so much was that Astley glared at the group with very angry eyes and spat out words as if they were scolding them.
“This body is the great demon king who encompasses all demon worlds! “He is the devil of dreams and someone who will one day become a great story!”
“… … .”
“No matter how hard you guys try to get rid of me, I’m not the one to be trapped in that small flame of evil spirits!”

At that moment, Seongjin suddenly remembered a memory from the past.
The devil of dreams who wants to become the devil of stories.
And a masked puppeteer calmly told the story.
[what? Demon King of Dreams?]
Seongjin was not the only one who reacted to his words. The Demon King is furious and shouts.
[Lee Seong-jin! Is that guy from the puppet show you mentioned?]
‘uh? I don’t know either… . Hey, hey! for a moment!’
Before Seongjin could say anything, the devil’s presence suddenly disappeared from his mind.
And the next moment.
Asley Bettcher’s movements became even more bizarre as he flinched and trembled once.
“Off… … .”
Now he grabbed his collar with one hand and the back of his head with the other and started shaking them like he was going to die.
“Is it you? “Did you, you bastard, launch such a petty attack on me?”
“What is this guy again! Why is the devil wearing a sacred barrier?”
“Come on, you bastard! Let’s finish it with me today!”
“Oh, is it you? It became so insignificant that I almost didn’t recognize it! “Where did something that couldn’t even die suddenly appear?”
“What, you bastard? You know me? what is your identity?”
Alas, there was one more person talking about Astley.
Even now, we are clearly divided and fighting among ourselves.
“Hey! Good job, our red!”
“wow! Cheer up, our red!”
“Who is red?”
It was truly unprecedented chaos.
Fortunately, the mess didn’t last long.
Seongjin is tilting his head, wondering if the temperature in the hospital room has suddenly dropped a bit.
[…] Hehe!]
The devil came back to Seongjin’s mind, horrified by what he had seen. Shaking and not being able to speak properly is somehow not unfamiliar. no way?
Logan also seemed to feel a strange energy. He said doubtfully, lifting his head up.
“… “Where did this sacred energy suddenly come from?”
Of course, Astley Bettcher also noticed the abnormality.
He stopped talking to himself and stared blankly into space. For the first time, a feeling of fear appears in his eyes, which are widened to their limit.
“you… you!”
Gagging.
At that moment, Astley fell to the floor, coughing up blood.
* * *
Cluck cluck.
In a dark basement, a man crouched and coughed. Small droplets of blood splatter on the floor along with the fishy smell of iron.
“… “This is truly a self-destructive joke.”
The girl who was watching the man crawling on the floor laughed.
She was a small girl who must have been no more than 10 years old, and her long blonde hair braided into two pigtails was very cute.
On the other hand, her expression looked extremely insensitive and dark, as if she was looking at an old sedimentary layer that had accumulated over countless years.
The half-masked man, Romaine, was rubbing on the floor for a while, but when he eventually stopped coughing, he wiped away the blood that had flowed from the corner of his mouth and smiled.
“it’s okay. “It hurt me a little, but that’s because I’m not used to this trick yet.”
“A trick?”
“yes. “It’s a clan’s secret art of removing souls and creating terminals.”
What he used was the secret art of the Kornsim clan, who are known to be skilled in manipulating spirits.
A method of preserving an individual’s ego by removing unnecessary parts of the soul, creating a terminal, and performing channeling through it.
This was the reason why the clan, which could have been buried in the group consciousness like channeling monsters if they made a mistake, was able to live as humans.
What died after being possessed by Astley Bettcher was only a small part of the soul that Romain removed in imitation of this clan.
under. The girl let out a laugh.
“For some reason, I was jumping around like a goby, which means I wasn’t even a proper soul.”
“Well, not really. That too, however clumsy, is a part of me. “There was a time when I was emotional like that when I was young.”
Romain shrugged his shoulders.
“Of course, it wasn’t enough to fool the guardian of Delcross. “I tried to divert attention a little, but as soon as I realized that it wasn’t me who opened the channel, I immediately killed the terminal without saying a word.”
“I don’t know if you’re bold or reckless to think of deceiving him… … .”
The girl shook her head excitedly.
Delcross’s prosperity.
She still couldn’t understand how there could be someone like that among humans.
Just when she thought she had almost successfully invaded the continent, he suddenly appeared in the imperial capital, wiped out all of his forces, and became a prosperous man alone.
And from then until now, he has been successfully keeping the entire Delcross under his influence for quite a long time. Perhaps if he were the guardian of the squadron, he would have an unimaginable grip.
Under his protection, the devil species could not even come near Delcross. To her horror, even though she was now wearing the body of a human girl, she couldn’t possibly enter the ecliptic and just hovered around her and watched her.
Among those who could be considered her allies, Romaine was the only one who could freely travel to and from the imperial capital.
Because they are unknown, we are reluctant to let them get close to us, but we have no other options.
“He is truly a person with no flaws. In the end, there is no other way now than to hope that Prince Leonard will do his part in the birthday party. “It would be perfect if he could really seduce the princess.”
Romain said indifferently, brushing off the hem of his robe that had become dirty from rolling around on the floor.
He had been unable to hide his anger for a while after months of effort had gone to nothing, but now he seemed to have calmed down and seemed quite calm.
“okay. But was there any need to enter the imperial palace using the last half-flowered seed?”
The girl’s question was valid.
The Astley Batcher probably would have been able to bloom someday if it had kept its eggs. Even now that it has bloomed clumsily, if it had been left alone, it might have become a useful card for the next plan.
But Romain shook his head.
“Anyway, the Gray Plague plan was discovered by Seonghwang. There will be no way to redo a failed plan now. Then at least there was someone who could see it with his own eyes while he could have influence.”
3rd Prince Mores.
Romaine was just now able to clearly see with his own eyes the true identity of the prince that the Holy Emperor had kept hidden in the palace. Beneath his half-mask, I can sense a confident smile.
The girl looked at Romain for a moment, then took a step forward and slowly cupped his chin with both hands.
“What did you see? “It’s nice to see you so confident.”
“That is truly an honor.”
“It is very satisfying to hear your voice too. Now, tell me more, Romaine.”
The girl’s small cherry-like lips let out sweet breath.
“Can’t you at least tell me? Where is the labyrinth? “Where is your body now?”
However, Romain lightly pushed away the girl’s [enchantment] and smiled.
“That’s something we’ll talk about after our conversation progresses a little further. “Lord of [Greed].”
