Money-grubbing Necromancer (215)
Longlong blinked.
‘Did I hear that wrong?’
I don’t know where Balkan is, so I’m going to go ask Paimon?
Is this a common way of thinking for the human species?
If so… … .
‘Who spread the false rumor that humans are weak?’
It really makes me curious.
That makes sense. Paimon isn’t a normal demon.
He is one of the demon lords, of which there are only 72 among the hundreds of millions of demons.
Even that ranking wasn’t low.
It’s not 72nd, it’s 7th.
In short, it means the greatest of all devils.
Even the Balrog who comes to the Demon World cannot dare to look down on him and must always refer to him as ‘nim’.
That was the being called Paimon.
-Are you really, really going to meet me?
“You talk too much, Mr. Swap.”
―Ah, no… … I’m saying this because I’m worried that Kim Min-woo might be in danger… … .
“Who is worried about whom?”
no!
Let me guide you!
For such a trivial reason!
‘Then I’m in big trouble!’
Even though Balrog is respected in the Demon World, that doesn’t mean he is exempt from all sins.
It is a grave crime to waste the time of a busy demon lord.
He would probably turn into a blood clot with just one gesture. That was why he desperately tried to stop him.
―It’s really dangerous! Master Paimon doesn’t live deep in the mountains… …! He lives in the ancient city of Batalian, one of the seven great cities of the Demon World… …! There are a ton of demons there!
“so?”
―Among the demons, there are those with a highly developed sense of smell! They would probably start drooling if they smelled Kim Min-woo’s scent!
“Like you just now?”
―… … Those shallow guys who only have instincts left will rush right in! I’m telling you this because you’re so bold! With all my heart!
“You said Balrog.”
-Yes? Yes.
“You are respected in the Demon World? Because you are strong and respected.”
-That’s right, right?
“Then even if I go to Batalian or whatever, you can protect me, right?”
-……yes?
“If a worthless guy comes running at you, you’ll just turn him into a bloody mess. Is that really that hard?”
-That, that is… … .
“If it’s difficult, tell me. I’ll correct your thinking right now.”
Uduk.
Woodduck.
It’s just the sound of the tiny knuckles of a fist cracking.
Why is my body shaking?
The body that had once been ‘corrected’ was instinctively spitting out fear.
-That… that… that… .
“that?”
―That’s easy! Who am I? Aren’t I just a successful Balrog from the Demon World! Haha… … .
“yes?”
-Yes, that’s right.
“Get ready as you please. Oh, by the way, is it far?”
-It won’t take long if you fly. About a day?
“okay.”
He waved his hands.
Longlong carefully escaped.
―The city of the Demon World… … .
-You don’t trust Minwoo?
-No, what. If you’re the owner, you’ll know what to do.
―That’s right. Whether it’s Paimon or Pai, you’re just asking questions anyway. Unless you’re an idiot, you’ll know how to answer. Right, Minwoo?
“Okay, that’s right.”
Paimon?
Well, I think it’s a bit expensive.
But, this side also had its own corner of belief.
The Balkans of the future.
I saw the guy’s power.
‘Back then, I rolled and rolled and dug out my eyes… … .’
The difference between Kim Min-woo at that time and Kim Min-woo now is so great that it can be said to be worlds apart.
At that time, I was in the low 200s. But now?

‘Over 500.’
The equipment and skills are also at a level that is embarrassing to compare. Honestly, I don’t think it would be possible to survive the Demon Lord even without using a nuclear bomb.
Crucially.
‘Going round and round is not my style.’
Anyway, we need to find out where the Balkans are.
How to do that?
In any case, you have to either meet the devil related to Mr. Pa Mo and ask him, or ask him directly.
‘Eventually, your actions will be discovered.’
If he’s going to hit you, then no matter which way he turns, he’s going to hit you anyway.
If not, it’s better to just go there and ask and get it over with.
That’s why.
I chose to go straight ahead without thinking.
“I guess I should take this opportunity to go sightseeing.”
Let’s see what the Demon City looks like.
* * *
Flutter!
The wings of the Balrog howled powerfully.
On the back of such a huge balrog.
Kim Min-woo was riding with the reins on.
“It’s comfortable.”
– Hehe. Did you have a comfortable flight?
“content.”
-Do you see that huge city over there?
“Is that Batalian? Over there?”
– That’s right. Oh, you can’t fly there. There’s a barrier there. I think we should land soon.
Kim Min-woo nodded.
The Balrog has landed.
Kim Min-woo, who had gotten off comfortably, looked at the huge gate. And even the enormous waiting line in front of it.
He opened his inventory and took out a set of pitch-black robes. A robe that covered his entire body tightly.
This was a must-have for entering the city, prepared at Longlong’s earnest, almost tearful request.
Kim Min-woo asked, his hood pulled over his head.
“Should I wait?”
– Big. That’s impossible. I’m a balrog even if I do this.
“Free pass?”
-Free… What is a pass?
“Just passing by without a line.”
-Oh, right. Free pass. Definitely possible. Let’s go.
Thud. Thud.
With each step Balrog took, a subtle vibration reverberated through the ground.
The eyes of the demon guards guarding the gate were immediately drawn to it.
It was a demon-like creature, equipped with a rather plausible helmet and armor.
-Guards!
-yes!
-I am Longlong. I am passing by.
-Of course. I, but… … the one next to it is… … .
-What the hell is this, you little punk!
Bam!
Balrog said as he forcefully struck the helmet of the Demon Guard.
-This person is amazing. Much better than me, Longlong.
-Is that so? But… … sniff sniff, gulp… … .
Even as he spoke, the guard was seen drooling.
With a look in his eyes as if he was looking at a very well-cooked steak.
Longlong, who was terrified, immediately set fire to his body.
Longlong glared at the guards with a fierce look in his eyes, like a neighborhood bully.
-hey.
-……yes?
-If you don’t want to fall behind, open your eyes wide.
―… …Sorry, sorry… … .
-We’re passing by, aren’t we?
-Yes, yes!
The Balok bus was quite sweet.
Came into the city.
‘The architectural styles are similar.’
The architecture was similar to a medieval city. The only unique thing was that all the buildings were large.
There was a characteristic feature of the trees growing along the roadside being all twisted into a twisted shape.
‘Have you seen it?’
When I was with Merhen in the second arrangement, the trees looked exactly like that right before the passage opened and the wave of monsters poured in.
Adult demons and child demons walk hand in hand.
Selling food at a street stall.
Most of those were similar.
The only peculiar thing is that the food has a strange appearance, as if it were made of blood… … .
– Welcome to the show!
Is it just that the street troupe is putting on a really brutal show?
“Is that normal?”
-Oh, a stabbing performance?
“Oh. And the food too.”
―It’s completely normal in the Demon World. That’s cute to that extent. What should I say… … It’s like they keep a minimum level of manners in a big city?
“I see.”
Well, I respect that.
Because each person has their own cultural sphere.
I don’t care what the Demons do.
Every time I passed by the street, I saw the demons looking in my direction with their drool dripping down their faces.
Seriously, what would have happened if there had been no Balok buses? It wouldn’t have been impossible to get through, but it would have been f*cking annoying…
That was when.
-Oh, aren’t you Longlong?
A devil of a nobleman’s style, who looked quite handsome, came forward and spoke. He was so happy that he was waving his hands.
-Are you… Sir Elmantra?
―Haha, that’s right. We met last time, right?
-Yes, I remember. You came to the village.
-But, why is Mr. Longlong here…?
-What about you? Have you finished your exams already?
-Yes! I was lucky. Thanks to you, I was able to take care of my father.
-Huh. Already?
Two demons talking to each other as if they knew each other.
‘I guess you have a high position?’
If it was just a bit of a mess, Longlong would have figured it out on his own. But the fact that he was consistently listening to the conversation…
I guess he’s not just that kind of guy.
As expected.
Longlong approached me cautiously and whispered in my ear.
-Elmantra. One of Paimon’s sons.
… … He’s bigger than I thought?
That was when.
-Sniff sniff. But, it smells delicious.
The gaze of the man who was licking his lips with his nose flaring was fixed in this direction.
– This smells like a human, right? Why is Longlong accompanying a human? Oh! No way!
The gentleman who was clapping his hands alone said,
―I see! Is this perhaps a tribute to be offered to your father? Isn’t it? Humans are very precious!
-Uh… …That’s not it.
―Haha! Don’t be embarrassed! Come to think of it, it’s been a really long time since my father ate special food. These days, the passageways are not open at all… … Same goes for me.
The guy came over with a big grin on his face.
He was seen immediately reaching out and trying to take off his hood.
-Where, let me see your precious face… …Huh?
I grabbed the bastard’s wrist.
And then, it broke.
Woohoo!
-Kyaak!
Longlong’s eyes immediately turned sad.
“Balrog.”
-yes…….
“Paimon, do you have many sons?”
– There are quite a few. If you’re talking about the great devil, it’s Dasan…
“That gentleman, does he eat a lot of humans too?”
―… … .
“So, is he your precious son?”
-Just what… …my son.
“Is that so? Then it’s decided.”
He drew his sword.
And then, I cut it.
Blood spurted everywhere.
The headless corpse fell to the ground with a thud.
-what?
-You killed him?
-Oh, isn’t that guy hot?
One of the demons on the street swung his wand in approval.
Is the word “ttabong” a universal language?
I guess he doesn’t know he’s Paimon’s son.
We happily gave each other a thumbs up.
Longlong may have drooled, but he had never eaten a human directly.
Regardless of whether it is a rare and therefore precious specialty or not.
But this gentleman was different.
This guy is a cannibal.
I can give you a good estimate just by looking at your eyes.
‘Then I have to kill him.’
Well, that’s good.
If Paimon is a demon who enjoys cannibalism.
I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give a warning at this point.
-Really, you’re hot… … .
“yes?”
―… … Hey, you’re going to Goseong, right?
“I don’t think that’s necessary?”
The huge castle seen in the distance.
At first glance, it looks like Paimon’s house.
There, a huge, black shadow was flying towards them. When Longlong saw it, his face turned pale.
A voice came from the swaying shadows that had soon approached close range, as if it were being pierced through the head.
-My son is dead.
“Ah, are you Mr. Paimon?”
-Yes. I am Paimon. You?
“I am a human being named Kim Min-woo. I must educate my son well.”
Damn it.
The swaying shadow changed into the shape of an eyeball.
The large eyes blinked alone.
-Long long.
―… … Meet Paimon, one of the seven great monarchs of the Demon World and one of the great demons.
-What is the situation right now?
―… …Your son has been rude. To Mr. Kim Min-woo here.
-Is that really true?
―… … I think that’s right.
Long long.
It was a stronger statement than I thought.
I decided to help him out a little.
“Why is this person like this? Someone who is supposedly prolific is being petty.”
―I’ve lived a long time. I’ve seen a lot of things… … .
“You’ve lived a long life? Congratulations. By the way, I came to ask you something.”
-her…….
The eye, which let out a tone that was unclear as either admiration or disappointment, blinked once again.
―Do humans drink tea with each other when guests visit?
“Maybe.”
-I just happened to have a nice car.
“We can talk here.”
-I guess we should prepare to welcome you.
Soon my eyes became blurry.
This guy definitely looks like he wants to drink tea.
I felt like I had to go inside the castle.
