Episode 172, Acceleration (2)
ancient devil.
The existence that was created by not offering sacrifices revealed overwhelming power.
‘It’s a success.’
I had summoned the ancient demon as planned, and I smiled softly, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
Well, if there’s a flaw, it’s that the ancient demon appeared in a situation where all the challengers couldn’t be sorted out… … .
Didn’t even have to worry too much about it.
“Quaaaaa! You’re such a dog… … ! It really all looks like shit… … !”
“Puhh! Yes, let’s all die together! Death is cheap if you can have that demonic bastard as your companion!”
“Heh, hahaha! it’s over! It’s all over! I’m going to die like this… … !”
Because no one has enough energy left to stand against me.
I looked at the ancient demon and examined its form.
“… … .”
Not to mention the appearance of adding dark and shady things in this world like rags… … .
The energy radiating from the body close to the shadow was beyond ominous and brought despair.
‘It’s strong.’
Perhaps it was the labyrinth’s intention to prevent anyone from surviving, so I nodded my head.
‘Certainly, if something like this appears as an enemy, we might all die.’
Even if all the challengers in this place join forces, they are strong enemies who will face death like insects.
but… … .
「Myth <Vampire Exorcist> is activated.」
「The effect of <cannot be reproduced> is applied to divine attacks.」
「The divine attack has the effect of <Exorcism>.」
Ancient demons are hopeless opponents for normal challengers.
To be honest, I felt like I could manage to get hold of it.
‘I never thought this myth would be so helpful.’
The myth of <Vampire Exorcist>, which gives the effect of non-regeneration and exorcism, was activated, and divinity pervaded the body.
Is this also an ability that resides in exorcism?
“I did not back down against the ancient devil.”
「All stats increase by +20 due to the myth <Vampire Exorcist>.」
「While dealing with an ancient demon, all divine attacks are greatly enhanced.」
The shapeless aura that had been oppressing the body as if it were about to be crushed disappeared in an instant, and instead, vitality surged.
In addition to the increase in stats comparable to <The Warrior of Reversal>, the divinity fluctuates wildly.
I didn’t know that my strength would increase to this extent, so I couldn’t help but smile at the corner of my mouth… … .
‘At this point, I can’t lose even if I try to lose.’
I looked at the ancient demon with the momentum to swing my sword straight away and tried to activate the power skill.
however… … .
“Up, great one, sorry, sorry… … .”
Suddenly, a trembling voice came from an ancient demon.
‘what?’
The tone is completely different from the one before, when he said he would judge everything.
like… … .
“… … .”
The ancient demon seemed terrified of me.
“Would it be all right if I went back? … ?”
no.
It wasn’t to the point where I felt frightened anymore.
Truly, this ancient demon was watching me in a frightened and servile manner.
“… … .”
Then I started to lighten my eyes at the ideas that passed through my head.
That would be too… … .
‘Maybe we can use this as an opportunity… … ?’
Because he figured out how to use this servile, ancient demon.
“Did I ask if I could go back?”
Soon I looked at the ancient demon with a grin.
“Can you allow me to go back?”
and… … .
“However, in exchange for accepting the deal.”
He opened his eyes narrowly and continued, examining the ancient demon closely from head to toe.
“Prove in good faith whether it’s worth sending it back to where it came from.”
“… … .”
“no?”
“Oh no! Hahaha! so good! As expected of a great being, wise… … is… … !”
Looking at the ancient devil with a forced smile on his hard face, I smiled.
‘Now that I live, there comes a day when I catch a hukou against the devil.’
I was excited to see how much I could get against the ancient demons.
***
The ancient demon was surprisingly obedient and accepted the half-threatening deal.

Without even looking at the liver, he put on a mask that shimmered with a strange light… … .
“This, this is the greatest treasure I can give you!”
In response, I immediately read the explanation window, looking at what the mask was in the hands of the ancient devil.
“Mask of Despair”
「Rating: B+」
「Shock absorption +10%」
「Power efficiency +10%」
「A mask made by one of the ancient demons by smelting ghosts as a pastime.」
「When equipped, your mind will slowly begin to be polluted, and you will suffer from the thoughts of the ghosts.」
「When a life is killed, ghosts are accumulated and the values of [Shock Absorption] and [Power Efficiency] increase.」
Even if you look at it, it’s just a mask that’s just unlucky… … .
Looking at the abilities attached to this mask, I was intrigued.
It was worth it.
To be honest, something like shock absorption is good, but power efficiency increase is not a figure that can be easily obtained.
Even increased shock absorption and power efficiency could have increased that figure.
In other words, it means that it is a similar growth item that increases the ability of the equipment itself to some extent even if the grade does not go up… … .
“Then choose this one.”
There was no need to look at this and that and reject it.
I immediately took the mask from the hand of the ancient demon and put it on my face.
「Wearing the Mask of Despair (B+) will slowly begin to pollute your mind.」
「From now on, every time you fall asleep, the ghosts pour down curses on you.」
Ominous phrases came to mind, but nothing to worry about.
“He has a mighty spirit.”
「Your mind will not be contaminated by the Mask of Despair (B+).」
“The ghosts are afraid of you and start hiding their existence.”
The phrases that followed like side effects disappeared right away.
“Oh, you look so good together! ha ha ha! It’s so cool that even the Grand Duke of Hell will be surprised!”
“Do you think it suits you that well?”
“yes! Sure! Even the ancient demons who forged this mask will love it!”
“… … .”
The ancient devil was trembling flatteringly at me with the momentum of rubbing his palms.
‘He changes his attitude very quickly.’
Did divinity ever feel so dangerous?
I smiled wryly at the sight of an ancient demon with not the slightest hint of pride.
I have no intention of keeping my promise anyway, but to come out so servile… … .
Now it was to the point of pity.
Of course, that sympathy vanished in an instant before even a few seconds had passed.
‘Well, it’s funny to sympathize with an enemy who appeared with the intention of killing me in the first place.’
At that moment, he was contemplating whether to surprise the ancient demon with his sword.
“I-over there… … . But there’s one more thing I’d like to suggest… … .”
Suddenly, an ancient demon spoke to me in a creeping voice.
“proposal?”
“Ah yes! that… … , Actually, since I’m a servant of the evil god, I don’t have a face to see the main god to go back like this… … .”
“… … .”
“It looks like I have to kill the human who deceived the evil spirits, but I wonder if you can help me… … .”
The ancient devil’s offer was more like permission than help.
The challengers who are groaning under the current altar should be able to cut enough from the ancient demon line without me.
It must have been that he didn’t want to go against his heart when he bothered to ask me to deal with it.
Well, it could also be a request stemming from the desire to get out of here quickly while entrusting me with cleanup.
After staring at the ancient demon for a moment, I opened my mouth.
“So, if I help out there, what reward will I get?”
“Bo, compensation? She has already given you a mask of despair… … .”
“That is that, and this is this. additional compensation. Without it, I would not be able to accept your offer.”
“… … .”
At those words, the ancient devil looked at me with his mouth shut.
‘Look at this?’
There was a little bit of contempt in those eyes, but… … .
Knock-!
That disrespectful feeling disappeared like snow as soon as he quietly took the longsword out of the scabbard.
“Ah, ahaha! yes Yes! Extra Rewards! Ah yes! I forgot to eat it!”
The ancient devil immediately forced a smile and took out a new item.
“Well, then how can I get an extra reward with this… … ?”
It was a mysterious longsword whose blade was subtly wrapped in silver.
「Sword of New Moon」
「Rating: C+」
「Attack speed +15%」
「A moonlight sword that has been smelted for several years with the moonlight from the new moon.」
「When magical energy is injected into the sword, moonlight that consumes [MP] is created on the blade, and all the user’s abilities increase by +1.」
“In addition, a buff that increases magical power by +1 is given to those whom the user considers to be allies within the range of the moonlight.”
“oh.”
A better item appeared than expected.
Use the special function [MP] in the labyrinth to increase all of the user’s stats by +1… … .
For those who considered them allies, an item that could increase magic power by +1 could not be good, even if it was within reach of the moonlight.
“Then, I’ll receive an additional reward with this.”
Thinking that I had finally found a useful weapon, I happily accepted the new moon sword.
“What a great being! Can we put these humans together now?”
It was only then that the ancient demon spoke with anticipation… … .
“as you please.”
After answering roughly, the ancient devil showed his teeth and smiled.
“Then I will enjoy it without hesitation.”
that… … .
“Come on, bug-like humans, now the time of judgment has come again!”
It was like looking at a real insect.
“Lord, I don’t want to die! please! I will cooperate with you, so please give me a chance to survive!”
“A devilish bastard has summoned a real devil… … . Heh, heh. I’m hopeless now… … .”
“Damn it… … ! You went until you went… … ! One day you will pay for your deal with the devil!”
The surroundings began to fill with despair again.
It was worth it.
They had lost their will to fight before and couldn’t even move, so there was no way they could fight.
“okay! This is human! Cry some more… … ! ha ha ha!”
The ancient demon smiled like a crescent moon as if enjoying the situation itself.
and… … .
「Authority ‘Sword Merchant 劍氣傷人’ is activated.」
In that instant, a blue light flashed like a flash and severely slashed the back of the ancient devil.
Chow!
“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Violet blood splattered promiscuously, and a terrible scream was heard.
“I think I misunderstood… … .”
The eyes of an ancient demon were then turned to me in the background… … .
“I didn’t even say that I would save you.”
I continued with a refreshing smile.
“Ah, I’ll keep the word that I’ll let you go back.”
next moment.
“If I die anyway, I can go to the side of the evil god I love so much, right?”
A voice filled with rage came from an ancient demon.
“This—! dog-! A child-! I’ll tear you apart and kill you!”
It was a cry of satisfaction.
