Episode 276. Devil Dragon (3)
“Do you have anything to tell me, Rogers?”
Belcarion smiling brightly and Rogers with a stern face.
“Demon King. Please calm down first.”
“hey. Who will hear it and think I’m excited? Or do you know how to do something right now?”
“Can you guarantee that it is not?”
“You will have to judge that after listening.”
The Demon King was as lithe as usual.
However, Rogers did not know that this was not the case on the inside.
After pondering for a while, Rogers finally told the Demon King everything that had happened at the unnamed lake.
“Hmm, something like that happened? Still, I’m so glad, aren’t I? “If it weren’t for that Lunab human, we would have been in really big trouble.”
With a nervous mind, Rogers carefully observed the Demon King’s ever-changing reactions.
“So, you just sent Ascaron away? “No responsibility whatsoever?”
“We were promised cooperation. “He said he would track down that person named Eshel just like we did and hand over all the information he obtained to us.”
“What kind of cooperation is freezing cooperation? “Isn’t it lucky if I don’t get disturbed?”
Belkarion responded with little reluctance.
“hey. Rogers.”
“yes. “Demon King.”
“How long do I have to endure it?”
Rogers swallowed dryly as if he knew what was coming.
“I’m sure you and Betsy would want me to take the lead in this situation, but honestly, wouldn’t that be really difficult in the current situation? “What will be solved if I control my nature?”
This shitty situation is happening over and over again, so what can be solved if I just look at it like this?
As the Demon King, I was genuinely curious.
“This is what they want. I guess the reason I deceived Ascaron was ultimately to irritate the Demon King. I know it’s hard to bear. But you can’t do what they want… … .”
Rogers, who continued talking, suddenly closed his mouth.
A red air current was clearly stirring in his wide-open field of vision.
It was emitting a lot of bloody energy, as if it was waiting for the moment to come out of the demon king’s body.
“okay. I know. So, I will endure it as long as I can. The problem is that the limit is not far away.”
“… … !”
“I’m going to meet Betsy for a moment.”
Rogers, who was left behind, was unable to catch Belkarion as he was getting further and further away, so he just stared at his back.
“It’s a big deal… … .”
He had to realize that there was a much bigger problem at hand than the Demon King’s inability to control reason.
The tremors that started in my fists soon spread to my whole body.
“The Four Swordsmen are opening their eyes!”
* * *
A crowded street.
Noisy people, no demons.
Of course, there was no sign of Xian’s nose.
“First of all, I’d like to praise you for coming this far without getting lost… … , Now how do you plan to find that friend?”
“I’m going to think about it now.”
Remi Haram let out a helpless laugh inside.
I came to Arem with the intention of looking for Xian, but the possibility that he was still here was actually very slim.
Lunav, whether aware of her feelings or not, stared at the streets of Arem with an indifferent gaze for a moment.
“This is the Demon World, right?”
“yes?”
“But I feel like I’m in a human world. “What is the reason?”
“It probably means that our lady is not feeling anything. The difference between humans and demons… … .”
Runab, who soon realized that she had work to do, shook her head.
First, I stuck my nose out into the air and smelled any scent that might still be there… … .
“It’s not working.”
There was no smell of cyanide.
“What is that girl? Why is your skin so white?”
“I don’t think I can see the horns. Is it because of my mood? “It looks just like a human?”
“There are rumors going around that there are humans wandering around the demon world these days. Is this true?”
Instead, whispers about her could be heard from all over.
Even though she covered herself with a hood and robe, every passing demon looked at her at least once.
“I thought of a way.”
As if thinking of a plan, Runab headed to the center where the crowds were crowded.
Then he suddenly collapsed onto the ground.
“Hey lady, what are you doing…” … .”
“Please be quiet.”
Remi Haram immediately closed his mouth.
Soon, Lunav quietly closed her eyes, pricked up her ears like a rabbit, and meowed softly.
“Amplification… … .”
A magic that converts one’s magical power into hearing and amplifies surrounding sounds.
It was also the magic used when overhearing the conversation between Betsy and Lunav in the Demon King’s Castle.
As her hearing was maximized, all conversations on the street soon began to flow into her ears.

Because many sounds were mixed together and mixed together, most of the time, no sound was clearly audible.
But even for a moment,
(Are you telling me to believe that now? Our members were harmed by just one human?)
Lunav opened her closed eyes and pricked up her ears more.
(You won’t believe it, but it’s true! All of our members were killed by one person with a strange sword! I thought I was going to die too, right?)
Demons are not a common topic of conversation for humans living in the human world.
In other words, it was very rare for humans to come out of the mouths of the demons living in this demon world.
But despite this, the conversation about that person is happening… … .
“I think I found it.”
Runab immediately got up from his seat and ran to where the sound came from.
“They really surprise me every time.”
Remi Haram expressed admiration for her amazing ability to use magic.
The place I ran to was in the middle of a deserted alley.
On one side of the shadowed wall, two demons were having a secret conversation.
“… … !”
When they found Lunab, they froze in shock.
“what? Don’t turn it off… ?”
At first glance, its appearance is clearly different from that of the demons.
The demon who was trying to chase her away stopped talking.
“Uh, human?”
The other one’s eyes were shaking violently, as if he had just seen a demon.
Lunav also tilted his head at the unexpected reaction.
“It seemed like you were talking about humans… … .”
The two trembled for a moment.
“Could you please tell me too?”
Then one of the demons waved his hand violently and denied it.
“Ooh, we have nothing to do with you anymore! “I’ve said enough!”
“What do you mean? “I haven’t heard anything from you?”
“you! “Aren’t you in the same group as that black human man?”
At those words, Lunav’s eyes, which were half-down, widened.
“A black human man?”
“okay! “Not only did they kill all of our members, but they also made me complain about every little thing!”
“Is that human male by any chance? Did he use a dagger?”
“Yes, that’s right!”
Lunav, who recognized that she had found the right one, smiled strangely at that moment.
“If you’ve already blown it once, blowing it twice won’t change anything, right?”
“what?”
“Can you tell me too? Just like everything I said to my senior… … .”
* * *
Just ten steps, neither too far nor too close.
With that appropriate distance in between, the Devil Dragon continued to lead me deep into the demon world.
-Ssuk
My face was scratched by sharp discarded leaves.
It didn’t bleed, but it was more painful than being cut by a blade.
Fortunately, these leaves were in good condition.
Leaves that were stained intermittently or even dyed red contained poison.
Regardless of what this place is,
“What is the energy of the holy sword?”
[I don’t feel it at all. you?]
If you ask, it’s the same for both people.
Even after washing my eyes, I couldn’t find any human energy other than myself.
instead,
“Kiyak!”
Something attacked me from one side of the brush pile.
-Suddenly
I cut off his head right away without even making eye contact.
For a moment, I stared at the corpse that had been cut in two.
It is a magical beast that has not been seen in Lemea Canyon.
If we were to roughly compare it to a creature from the human world, it resembled a snake, but its thickness was so large that it was comparable to that of an adult woman.
-Grumbling
Red and green bodily fluid flowed from the severed neck.
Red liquid is blood, green liquid is poison.
It was like water and oil flowing separately without mixing.
“It looks like your appetite is still the same.”
I immediately raised my head.
“I don’t know anything else, but it’s better not to eat that magical beast. “The poison is so severe that if you eat it, you will be hungry for several days.”
The moment I heard that, I was convinced.
“If anyone hears it, they’ll think they saw me eating a demonic beast in person.”
“… … .”
“you. “Have you seen me?”
“Just shut your mouth and follow me! “Because I don’t want to talk to humans!”
The guy avoided answering and continued on his way again.
There were a few more attacks by nameless beasts along the way, but strangely enough, they only attacked me and didn’t even pay attention to that strict dragon.
Creatures instinctively recognize their top predators, so no magic beast would dare attack a dragon.
But I still feel uncomfortable.
It felt like I was ordering the dragon to attack me, rather than avoiding the dragon and attacking me.
When I fight with demonic beasts, he just glances and looks at me for a moment.
He didn’t particularly step forward or try to protect me.
A place we arrived at after repeating such cumbersome processes.
“Arrived.”
It was in the middle of the forest, where I couldn’t even feel the energy of the demonic beasts I had encountered several times while passing by, let alone humans.
“What on earth do we have here?”
“How should I know? I just brought you here following Nagel’s instructions. “There’s nothing you can find out by asking me.”
The guy reacted crudely, as if telling me to take care of it now.
“I guess those eyes and nose aren’t just for decoration?”
“what?”
“Do you think the human I’m looking for will be in this heart of darkness? Did your leader really say that? “It’s not like you didn’t understand, right?”
“How dare you mock Nagel-sama?”
“I was making fun of you.”
The man, angry at the unexpected insult, raised his double wick.
Judging by the momentum, it looked as if he would return to his original form at any moment and swallow me in one bite.
“My work ends here. “You take care of the rest!”
The guy lowered his tail indifferently.
Then, it immediately returned to its original form and spread its wings, as if trying to get out of here as soon as possible.
“Have you seen me?”
I repeated the question I asked a moment ago.
“Are you saying that again? Why did I answer that… !”
“Ten years ago, on the cliffs of the Blood River in Lemea Canyon.”
The guy’s face became vividly distorted for a moment.
“The devil dragon that ran into me across the river. “That’s you, right?”
“D-you looked at the dragon wrong! From now on, you are on your own! “I’m going back now!”
-Whoa!
A strong gust of wind blew around the area along with an urgent shout.
It flapped its large wings and flew up into the sky in an instant, swinging its wings quickly to get away from me.
Anyway, it’s a dragon running away from a human right in front of it.
Well, since I’ve already run away once, there’s no way I can’t run away a second time.
At that time, there were so many eyes around me that I had no choice but to miss it.
Not this time.
That dragon still has more work to do for me.
“Ammu Type 3: Fog Glide.”
-Boo!
I followed him and flew high into the sky, covering my body with the fog that spread along with the spell.
