178
It is a full moon night. A small bead that was resting in my arms like a child in a cradle fell out of me and floated in the air. The moonlight that was illuminating the ground was focused and focused on the beads. The bright moonlight heats the beads and a divine power spreads out. Eventually, the bead became big and bright like the dragon’s maiden, and I heard a refreshing swear word from a guy I had not heard for several days, and who I had longed to hear.
Gaegane!
Dalbi’s resurrection-
Dalbi emerged from the egg and became small enough to be placed in the palm of one’s hand. It will take time to regain its former size, but it is not completely lost. As soon as the resurrected Dalbi saw me, he cried wildly and ran towards me.
Gaeganne Gaeganne-!
Dalby is hitting his head with sad eyes.
It seemed like it was tightly sprained.
“sorry.”
When I hugged Dalbi, I bit my fingers hard. I quietly looked up at the night sky while holding Dalby, who was chewing his fingers as if they were beef jerky. The moonlight falls strong, but the stars are not visible. Nephi’s night sky is still dirty. The demons hidden in the mines are still emitting musical instruments. Perhaps, once the demons are eliminated, the mine will turn into an ordinary stone mountain. Ironically, the residents of Nephi, who lived ‘thanks’ to the devil, will now lose their source of funds and abandon the city.
But I don’t feel sorry for him.
“Tomorrow night will be full of stars.”
It’s clearing! Crash clap-
I tried to hold it in, but it was so painful that I ended up taking my finger out of Dalbi’s mouth.

Before the transport arrived, all the demons hiding in the mine were annihilated over the course of two days. Most of the strong demons, including high-level demons, were killed in the fight against the demon wizard. The remaining dozens of rat men and lesser demons were literally cleaning up the gutter. It was dirty and unclean, but not difficult. The Spiritual Knights, who had already become skilled in combat after fighting demons over the past year, lured, cornered, and killed demons without being told to do so.
In the process, a situation arose where the mine had to be destroyed. When the existence of the demon master became known, the traders, fearful of being offended, withdrew long ago, and the refugees took the stance that they had nothing to do with it. However, even after all the facts were known, the village residents strongly protested. They willingly used force to gain advantage. City residents armed with weapons blocked the entrance to the mine. He claimed ownership and appealed for a stop to interference from other countries. Since the demon had already disappeared, Nephi’s mine was nothing more than a rocky mountain that no longer produced minerals. There is no way they wouldn’t know if they tolerated a deal with the devil. Nevertheless, the reason I try to protect it in vain is because I already know that there is no turning back. If we leave it the way it is, it’s only a matter of time before a second or third wavehead emerges.
“If you sacrifice a child, you will receive a box of jewels; if you sacrifice a virgin, you will receive six bags of gold coins; if you sacrifice a newborn child, you will receive a full warehouse. Hmm.”
These are not the inhabitants of Nephi.
The real residents are probably happy at home right now and spending time with their families.
I told the spirit knights that if the resistance of the residents was severe, ‘you could kill them’.
Everyone took it as the complaint of an angry Confucius.
okay.
It doesn’t kill. It just makes you realize it.
No thought was given to the residents who occupied the mine.
I used release magic with the sole intention of annihilating the ‘demon’.
To completely destroy the mine.
Kwaaang-!
The mine shaft collapsed.
Many people were ‘almost’ buried alive.
If the explosion had been caused by a bomb like dynamite, he would have died without moving. The half-collapsed tunnel was dangerous. The basement of the mine was a devil’s den, and the ground was very weak due to the countless pits they had dug. If a few more impacts are applied, the mountain itself will collapse.
Heedless of the residents’ screams, he casted a second release spell.
“that… stop! “Stop it!”
It was a noisy shout. Residents hurriedly crawl out of the mine shaft.
Unfortunately, I didn’t think they looked human.
It feels like cockroaches rumbling.
It took less than an hour to completely collapse the mine.
I was exhausted from exerting so much effort, but I felt refreshed inside. The chatter of the residents who were still around, gesturing at me, slandering me, and swearing at me, didn’t bother me. After all, they didn’t look like people. The sound of the pig grunting was bearable.
“I will definitely make you pay for your sins, so be prepared! It looks like he looks down on us, but the Prime Minister of Sternil Kingdom is our in-law… … .”
It made me think again.
Lanista says.
You don’t know how to get angry-
You’re just getting angry because you’re in a situation where you’re going to be angry?
Half right, half wrong.
In the first place, I had no choice but to learn how to swallow my anger through the days of humiliation and survival. The fundamentals are different from these guys. In my past life, they were all strong people who could get angry all the time. What was I? You were a soldier who was worried about when your head would be taken away by those with abilities, whether you would be eaten by a monster, or whether you would be captured and tortured by an alien.
So I just don’t know how to get angry.
I never.
I have never thought that I get less angry.
does not exist.
“Kajuwea.”
“yes!”
“We are detaining residents here.”
“yes?”
“Until tomorrow when the convoy arrives. “It will be enough if Martin and Miko help.”
“yep!”
When three people came forward, the residents, or rather the pigs, fell silent.
“McRaney.”
“Frog.”
“Yes, Youngsu, I need you to help me out.”
“Ghoul.”
“… “It’s a serious atmosphere, so please use your own words.”
“Okay, shit.”
As I was about to land a blow, the eagle magician next to me, Zenko, told me.
MacRaney, who is more attuned to spirit beasts than other magicians, said that the more power he uses, the more he forgets human language.
“Good job croak.”
“Frog!”
With that in mind, he headed to the city with the remaining knights, Zenko, Vampi, and Lachi.
Whi-profit-!

Residents who felt anxious protested, but were unable to resist Martin.

For them, this is the price of the lives of their family, neighbors, and friends.
However, there is no law that says they have to have it.
This is the punishment I can give them.
The amount of treasure and gold coins piled up in the warehouse far exceeded expectations.
What should we do? I’m going to earn a little more and leave the city. I would have started with that mindset. However, they were unable to give up their uncontrollably increasing wealth, and eventually their hearts became evil. The wealth accumulated in each individual home and underground warehouse was enormous. If I had taken just one-hundredth, or even one-thousandth, of the money, I would have been able to escape from Nephi a long time ago.
Black money earned by offering sacrifices to the devil.
It was disgusting. But it’s too much money to give up on practical benefits.
I distributed the riches of the well-fed people to those who left Nephi. They were the underdogs. He was the victim who would become the next ‘sacrifice’. Even among the same city dwellers, those who decided to leave as soon as the devil’s threat disappeared did not even have a single gold coin. I discovered an even more disgusting fact during the process of distributing goods. The fact that there exist ‘children’ raised for ‘sacrifice’, abandoned ‘old people’, and virgins.
I made a human chicken coop.
They are no different from demon magicians.
No, except for a few demon magicians, including Fahed and the vice-captain, most of the mercenaries didn’t know the truth, and they were even worse bastards who hid the truth and hired mercenaries.
Even if you give away the goods, 90% of the treasure still remains.
We need to call more transport.
The amount is equivalent to twelve large carriages, and in terms of value, it is enough to make even the top teens on the continent stumble. If this amount is digested incorrectly, it can turn into bad news. However, if it is Alieva, distribution will be possible. For Alieva, an outstanding merchant and jeweler, gem minerals from Nepai would be the most delicious ingredients. Even with the mining rights to the Melkaran Gem Mine and trade with the Free City in progress, the scale was far below the upper teens. But with this much capital, you can probably skip a few steps.
It was the wealth of distrust and greed that Nephi had built up over decades.
But I was willing to use it.
f*ck you.
Long live the treasure-
“then… … .”
I walked towards the prison.
* * *
“Really? really… Mr. Fahed… … .”
Bound demon magicians.
Having lost their demonic powers, they were ordinary people who were only slightly stronger.
said therapist Rosie.
“I didn’t use the devil… For the devil… What on earth are we for… … .”
A silent prostitute.
Gombo and his wife.
Dozens of mercenaries.
He wanted an answer from me.
They demanded the truth.
I told you the truth.
Denial and swearing.
Either remain silent or avoid.
Their attitudes varied.
But everyone seemed to know deep down.
There’s no way you wouldn’t know. I was just ignoring it.
I don’t know the details of how they will be treated in the future.
If you go to Kunkan like this, you will definitely be put to death.
Even demon magicians would know that.
Nevertheless, the color of guilt seemed greater.
There is nothing I can do for you.
Because you have to pay the price of your wrong choice yourself.
* * *
The ominousness did not end.
I headed to the ‘connected’ place.
Even though the mine collapsed, strong demonic power was still leaking deep underground.
With MacRaney’s help, we headed deep underground to a cave that did not collapse upon impact. It was an artificially dug cave and a prison that imprisoned someone. Light leaked through the tightly closed iron door. If it were a devil, ‘light’ would be unnecessary.
The iron door was locked on the outside doorknob.
So I thought it was a prison. Is the person trapped here the one who earned Fahed’s hatred?
visor-
I cut the lock and boldly opened the iron door wide.
“What.”
The inside of the prison was different from what I imagined. It was decorated like a house where people live. No, it’s more casual than that. The glowing stones hanging from the ceiling, the murals depicting flowers and trees on the walls, and the objects scattered on the floor… It’s a toy, right? There was water and food on the table. The bread was crumbly and the meat dish smelled rotten. Devils don’t eat food.
“dad?”
I quickly swung my sword.
I missed the sign. I wasn’t letting my guard down.
Even without Cheonan Tong.
The only person I would miss is at least a master level knight.
Ching-
I was barely able to stop the sword right before it cut off his neck.
devil?
human?
… kid.
dump-
Didn’t do anything.
But the guy who was watching me blankly suddenly had a seizure and fainted.
I did not check the status. It may be a new form of devil. I activated Cheonan Tong and observed him. First of all, his appearance is definitely that of a ‘child’. I guess I’m at least five years old now. He is a bright-looking boy. His hair was dark red, but his eyes were ‘human’ eyes. He doesn’t even have horns. There is no devil’s tail. He was just a cute kid who would be loved by everyone.
But Cheonan Tong showed me the truth.
“Ha, f*ck.”
It’s a pain in the ass.
Even less so is a demon wizard.
But this kid.
It is not a ‘human’.
However, he is not a devil either.
Is something like that possible?
I am facing a completely new creature.
The kid’s body as seen through Cheonan Tong is exactly that.
Half human.
Half devil.
The power shown is only half.
I eventually had to accept the results I had come up with.
“hey.”
I tapped the kid’s cheek to wake him up, and he woke up rubbing his eyes.
“Go to sleep.”
He is an easy-going guy.
Are you stupid?
“By any chance, my father… … .”
This is not a pad lip.
“Are you the devil?”
this child.
Perhaps a combination of demons and humans… … .
I can’t believe it though.
There is a high possibility of being ‘mixed race’.
dump-
The guy fell down without answering.
Surprisingly, the little boy was really sleeping.
“Fahed, what have you been hiding?”
Damn it, I have no choice but to take it with me.
