Chapter 177 – 177. Home Ground
thud.
Just the simple act of the one-armed man who had fallen down and started to stand up by tapping the floor with his left hand.
The air inside the secret banquet hall began to change.
The arrogance and ridicule of the demons that had subsided in the thick of the water freezes coldly.
A strong wind blowing from somewhere sends shivers down the spine, and the movements of the insects that were crawling around in search of food become stiff.
“… … .”
Archdemon Magan, who was watching him closest, felt a prickling sensation in the back of his neck.
‘I was nervous?’
I simply noticed that the man in front of me had returned without even realizing it, and I also realized that my body had gained strength because of that.
Put your hand in your mouth, take out the chewed soul, and check it.
Although they look the same, the dying soul in his hand is not the memorial service he knew.
Also, I was deceived by this insignificant soul.
I was sure of just that.
“You were the real Deius Verdi.”
Staring at the man who was slowly getting up, Magan licked his drying lips with his thick tongue.
I have no idea how it is structured. Magan didn’t mind at all.
Anyway, just kill them both and eat them.
“Magan.”
A voice that was so calm that I even felt chills rang out.
Just one word.
Even though I only uttered one word.
I was convinced that he was the real memorial artist, Deius Verdi.
Rather, it’s funny that I was fooled by the crude fake acting just a moment ago.
That’s why Magan became even more irritable and tried to eat up the soul he was holding in his hands.
Quack!
The spear of blue flame flew in and pierced right through his wrist.
A surprise attack by Deius, who couldn’t even control his own body yet.
Magan had never thought he would use magic in that state, so he was dumbfounded and tried to click his tongue because it was a blow that didn’t even tickle.
As a hole was made in his wrist, his fingers lost strength, and he gritted his teeth as he saw Deius, who had pulled the soul he was holding into his arms with mana.
As befits a man who carries the name of memorial service.
Your enemy right in front of you.
Even in the face of the monster who cut off her right arm and the great devil who possessed the left arm of a former saint as a trophy.
He was the first to move for the sake of the disappearing soul.
“dare… … .”
It felt even more humiliating to Magan. In a way, I wasted my only chance to make a surprise comeback just to save that one soul.
I felt like the value of that soul was much higher in the memorial service than my own.
[…] … ah.]
A hole is made in Magan’s teeth, and the soul of Deius, who is disappearing, sees his own face.
The atmosphere is so completely different that you wonder if it’s the same face.
I had no choice but to admit that the man in front of me was a different being with only the same name.
Is that why?
Rather, Deius was able to accept his own extinction more easily.
[It was just as you said.]
Deius slowly closes his eyes for the first time in a long time. Not a smile tainted by alcohol, drugs, and lust.
He smiled brightly like a child.
[I was a human being who could change.]
Rest and extinction for the soul.
Two endings are prepared.
The rest of lying down on this earth, closing your eyes, and sleeping forever.
An extinction that simply disappears into nothingness, leaving nothing behind.
A man who wakes from his rest and abandons himself while fighting for his family.
Because I didn’t lose my smile at the moment of extinction.
“just.”
Now, Deius Verdi, the only one left in the world, commemorates his passing.
“Thank you.”
* * *
Originally, Deius’ soul was occupying the body, so there was no way for me to get out.
Although I knew the external situation where tragedies were continuing to unfold, I could not help but sigh at my inability to respond.
“just.”
Deius Verdi’s noble will and sacrifice made it possible for me to stand here again.
Like I said before when I sent him off at a funeral without mourners.
“Thank you.”
He was the kind of person who could sacrifice for others. If there was a chance, if there was an opportunity, he was a person who could change.
For the rest of my life, I will never forget him as he left in my arms, proud of how he sacrificed himself for my family and me.
“after.”
I slowly raise my head and look at the great devil right in front of me, whose face is turning red.
My body seemed to have lost all energy, my breathing was difficult, and my shoulders were drooping, but my senses were stronger than ever.

The mana of my entire body, which had been sleeping, awakened again and welcomed me.
“How dare you send a soul like that off in front of me?”
“He was worth much more than you.”
“Do you compare a great evil that has lived for hundreds of years with a piece of trash that has only lived for a few years?”
“I can’t say he was good.”
Slowly concentrate the mana into your left hand. Since I don’t have a right hand, it wasn’t easy to maintain my center of gravity just by standing.
“But I wasn’t someone like you who gave up on change.”
“That’s funny, it’s not that we gave up on change, it’s just that there was no need for it.”
The conversation itself does not continue.
Because I was a human and he was a demon.
In the end, the difference between the position and prejudice that was decided from birth was something that could never be narrowed.
That’s why I came out. There was no future for the two of them to live together outside this secret banquet hall.
Someone is sure to die.
Magan felt that too, but he was filled with absolute confidence.
“Stupid.”
Clicking his tongue and shaking his head, Magan sighed.
“There are few things as sweet as the soul of someone who gives their life for others.”
My eyebrows twitched slightly as I was talking about Deius just now.
“However, the taste of that man just now was so bad that even that couldn’t be overturned.”
“… … .”
“But like you now, those who struggle in fear for their lives are common and common.”
In fact, when faced with a situation where one’s life is in danger, it is natural to not give up on the spot and struggle until the end.
And Magan has already become tired of such naturalness.
“The choice is not over yet.”
The hands holding Deia and Darius gain strength again.
“Choose, Commander.”
He was hoping I would make the same choice again. It is not the obvious taste of struggling while sacrificing the lives of others.
He must have wanted to taste the delicacy of sacrifice, even giving up his own life.
“This banquet hall is not accessible from the outside.”
Magan makes a puzzled look as he sees me saying something out of the blue. But even that seems to have piqued her interest, and she raises the corner of her mouth, asking me to continue talking.
“Are we going to solve this situation with external support? If the moonlight at night shines inside here, I will kill these two.”
The intention was to kill him as soon as there was even the slightest movement from the outside.
I shook my head with a sneer.
“Already arrived.”
“Magan!”
Magan hurriedly turns around at the secretary’s urgent shout. But it was already too late.
Even if it is a secret room.
No matter what thick walls you have.
Because everything is useless in front of her.
“I am a necromancer.”
[Jeongmaaaal! I was worried!]
The dark spirit who was hiding from Magan’s eyes noticed my return and immediately joined me.
A guillotine-like sword created through her mana cuts off the wrists of the giant hand holding Darius and Deia.
Two people fall to the floor and catch their breath. Even if I wanted to accept it, I couldn’t afford it.
Magan violently turns his head and glares at me, thinking that he has been hit. Grinding teeth, red bloodshot eyes, and veins rising between the corners of the eyes showed that his wrath was great.
“Deius Verdi. “It looks like you really want to be eaten alive.”
The devil’s warning growls.
Even though I saw Darius and Deia, who had collapsed next to me, come to their senses and urgently run towards me, he didn’t pay any attention.
No, it means it doesn’t matter.
After all, there is no human being who can escape from his grasp as long as he is in this place.
Because this is his table.
“It’s very different from our first meeting, Deius Verdi.”
thud!
His footsteps approaching, hitting the floor heavily. With just that one step, a tsunami of fear irritated our nerves.
An apex predator that surpasses humanity.
“I am Magan, the Great Demon of Gluttony!”
thud!
As you get closer, a pressure that feels like it will crush your entire body presses harshly on your shoulders.
“How dare you confront me at my dinner table! “You miserable human being who is nothing more than a piece of meat!”
Deia and Darius couldn’t overcome it and fell to their knees, and the dark spirit quickly joined me.
[Well, is there a way to escape?]
“does not exist.”
[yes?]
“You can’t run away. “I have no intention of doing so.”
I’m going to kill him.
As soon as that word is added, the dark spirit opens its eyes and looks at me in confusion.
It was unexpected, but when I glanced at her, a chuckle came out.
“It’s nice to see you after a long time.”
[uh… … .]
He pushed the dark spirit, whose body instantly stiffened, with his left hand and warned him.
“Keep your distance, this is not a human battlefield.”
[W-what are you saying… … !]
Even before the dark spirit’s words could be properly concluded, an incredibly excited laugh rang out from my empty right hand.
[Kihaaaaaaa!]
Crump patter!
My right hand is hot.
My skin started to swell, as if there was something there, even though there was nothing, and I felt blood flowing.
The soul contains mana.
Her mana, which remains in the soul of the great devil within me, rotates like spiral particles and forms a bizarre hand.
“Belika.”
Magan called out the name of someone he hadn’t seen in a long time. As if in response, Stella’s soul with horns on her forehead is projected behind me.
[Magan! That bloated body is still the same!]
“How dare an idiot who is a great devil and parasites on a saint make use of his mouth?”
[Foolish! I just stayed true to my inclinations. The deformed archdevil Velika! Even his demonic tendencies are just twisted! Unlike psycho bastards like you!]
“Yes, your mouth is good at making fun of things.”
However, Magan’s tongue flutters as he adds, saying he can’t stand it anymore.
“You dare think of fighting me on my table? Have you become so foolish that your brain has become malformed? This is my stage! Any great devil! “Have you forgotten that you are not going to confront me at the dinner table!”
The world vibrates as Magan’s mana explodes, as if it had been funny until now.
The power to turn even humans, who can safely be called the greatest power of each country, into mere course meals on a table.
Velika, who was dealing with such an enemy, could actually be seen as no match for Magan since she was already in a dead soul state.
[Did you gain weight on your brain because you ate so much?]
Velika actually lets out a laugh. She is not an empty provocation, but a deep sense of trust and confidence.
Feeling this, Magan’s eyes widen slightly.
[I guess you forgot what kind of devil I am!]
Behind me, Velika’s energy began to fluctuate and something began to pour out.
When I accepted it without resisting it, my mana and Velika’s mana mixed together and spider legs settled on my back like wings.
[I am Velika, the deformed archdemon! And this bastard who is with me now!]
Bang bang!
Velika pats my shoulder refreshingly and smiles brightly.
[The right hand flew away and disappeared! Emotions are worn out! The body is not yours! Even souls come from another world!]
I thought he was swearing, but
From Velika’s point of view, there was no such praise.
[A truly deformed human being! That’s what it is, you pig!]
Although I didn’t like the pretty harsh introductory text.
On this continent.
If you ask me who is the person who can best get along with the deformed archdemon Velika?
All of its parts were malformed and twisted.
I thought it might be me.
[Has the reward for Stella’s faith come to me? How did this perfect person find me!]
Velika raises her middle finger and smiles confidently at Magan.
[Let’s fight at each other’s home ground!]
