71 – Corruption (3)

came to death

No, it would be more accurate to say that I met that existence when I died.

The encounter with the Great Devil was truly bizarre.

In the first place, it is an existence that you can’t meet even if you want to meet it.

Even the name of the Great Demon is not a name that has been researched and inscribed on it, but I am just calling it that.

It is an existence that has never been seen in this world, but it came from death to meet me.

It had a goat’s head.

“…The Prime Evil.”

[Do you know me?]

The black demon moves slowly.

He has always been like that, but he has a god-like attitude contemplating the world with a relaxed attitude.

I would have met him only after repeating death countless times.

…Now it appeared right at the moment when it might be the second death, or the first death.

I don’t know what kind of existence the Great Devil should call me.

He was an officer of the Demon King’s army in the past, and the source of strength that made him fight alongside the hero in the final battle.

…the enemy of the family.

However, even if it is the enemy of the family, isn’t it my responsibility to kill the family in arbitrary interpretation at the word to dedicate ‘precious things’?

Of course, a being like the Great Devil would have predicted such a future and offered a contract.

If you look at the context, he was the culprit who intentionally exterminated his family.

There was surprisingly little hatred for him.

That’s how great the power the Great Devil gave him.

Without that power, I would have been sealed long ago and couldn’t do anything until the world was destroyed.

“Why did you come to see me, the Great Devil?”

[I think I need my strength.]

“It’s power… .”

If the Great Devil had to put up the same condition this time, and exterminate his family again.

I won’t accept that power.

Even if it was a crisis in which all living acquaintances in the city would die, it would be distressing.

In the end, if you accept the power, won’t the same future repeat itself?

[Isn’t it necessary?]

“You don’t even explain what that power is.”

[I think I know it roughly, but there’s no need to explain it painfully.]

Of course, I know very well what kind of power the Great Devil is trying to give.

But, how could the Great Devil predict such a fact?

Maybe it’s because he’s reading what I’m going to do because he’s a great devil who’s like a divine being.

“Then the conversation will be fast.”

[Do you not want to take my power?]

“If the cost is terrifying to the bone, there would be no reason to gain strength.”

[If you are afraid of the price, how about this?]

When the Prime Evil snapped his fingers, a contract appeared in the air.

…It was a very light contract.

The conditions are exactly the same as before, and the contract lasts only one day.

The price I have to pay according to the contract is the time it takes to resurrect.

For example, if you finish this job, you die immediately and the time it takes to resurrect instead increases.

It’s a condition that no matter who sees it.

It’s an overly sweet contract.

If it’s only a few days delay at the longest, I was able to deal with the devil with an immediate resurrection for about a day today.

If that’s the case, you should sign the contract and go rescue your comrades.

But my hands were full of hesitation.

[Why are you hesitating?]

Bishop’s words come to mind.

that death will lead to my own ruin.

No matter how transcendental a bishop may be, it is a future observation that makes no sense.

That level of prediction is impossible for any transcendentalist.

Right now, including the sword master of the kingdom, the demon lord’s executives couldn’t do it either.

Bishop has already shown a lot of omniscience that other transcendentalists cannot.

I thought this was because the characteristics of transcendental people are so diverse, but I skipped over it.

An observation that cannot be explained unless the bishop transcends himself as a prophet.

If the bishop had anticipated the current situation and gave advice.

You must not sign here.

Repeating immediate resurrection means repeating death as well, and from the moment you sign the contract, you are swept away by the divine being, the Great Devil’s plan.

Don’t be too hasty.

I looked at the Great Devil with clear eyes.

What does that being want from me?

What else are you hoping for with these contracts?

[Do you dislike these conditions?]

“It’s because I’m anxious.”

[Are you anxious? For a day, even if you die, you will be resurrected immediately, and the price for this is only to increase the time it takes to resurrect.]

“It’s because I don’t know your intentions.”

[Intention?]

When the Prime Devil heard that, he laughed.

The grotesque laughter that smiles letter by letter covers the space.

Then the goat’s mask he wore moved.

[I want to help you.]

[So that everything can be peaceful.]

[I intend to pull you to a place of rest in pain.]

Hearing those words, I couldn’t stop crumpling my face.

“I can’t understand it at all.”

[How about it?]

It was too kind for a devil to say, which made his intentions all the more suspicious.

Also, you shouldn’t think that demons have views similar to humans.

The serenity and rest that the devil thinks, and the serenity and rest that I think will be the difference between heaven and earth.

But the reason why I can’t let go of this contract is because it’s a really good condition.

After all, many deaths were repeated in the past anyway.

He died over 10 times a day, and likewise, if you count the number of deaths throughout his entire life before returning, it will exceed a thousand times.

Even if I die a little this time, it won’t be a big problem.

In the first place, the power given by the Great Devil was so strong that even killing his family was light.

I think it’s a power that can only be obtained by wiping out the entire city, just like when it was transcended.

It was the reality shown by the great devil that pushed such shaking on his back.

[Will you stay still after seeing this?]

“Whoa.”

The worst results were expected.

The Black Tower Master moved the demons to kill all of my comrades, and Changsung was driven to the brink of death.

The results were flowing in one direction.

The conditions are good, the situation is urgent.

I’d rather do this than hesitate and let him die here and regret it.

I held out my hand to the contract, and although the archdemon was hidden behind the goat mask, it seemed to be smiling.

[The contract has been established.]

Immediately, I opened my eyes to reality.

puff-

The power of death has reached.

To be precise, it detoured the authority that had been directed to Changseong back to me.

My heart exploded twice in one day, but the blood and flesh that had splattered around me reassembled and filled my chest.

“Whoa… .”

It’s a strange feeling.

It was as if he was drunk with near-infinite magic and felt transcendental power.

The immediate resurrection brought another sense of omnipotence.

“Ah, Argal… .”

Changsung looked at me with a face mixed with tears.

I laughed out loud.

It’s amazing.

I was in such a hurry until I signed the contract, but after signing the contract, my fluctuating heart miraculously regained my composure.

I don’t even know why I tried to save her.

Avert your gaze.

Although the emotions had bizarrely calmed down, the purpose remained.

I see three devils who are feeling interest and curiosity.

[Seriously, you seem to be the Undead?]

[It is truly mysterious that there are immortals in the world.]

[Still, I have to take the soul~]

The demon in the form of a lion moved.

The authority that Marvas possesses is overwhelming physical strength.

He could literally destroy anything with the touch of his hand.

If I get hit by that devil’s fist, my body will be shattered.

But there was no need to worry.

Just like back then, all you have to do is focus on killing enemies without worrying about anything.

It’s such a sweet liberating feeling.

I didn’t know it until now, but my body was thirsty for the power of resurrection immediately.

Reach out your hand to the sky.

From the looks of it, the Black Pagoda Master is virtually dead.

It was swallowed up by demonic energy and turned into an indescribable monster.

If so, you won’t have to fight any more with the ownership of Magi.

Swallowed all the magic in the sky with a dagger.

Enormous demonic energy gathered in my dagger.

In the meantime, Marvas’ fist pounded my chest, and flesh burst out once again.

“Argal!!”

“Are you not going to die?”

Bethia screamed, but no need to worry.

You don’t have to do such troublesome things anymore.

because i don’t die

I hold on to the arm of the devil that has pierced my heart.

A dagger was put down and stuck there.

Marvas had an almost invincible body, so he didn’t pay attention, but what followed was a terrible scream that shook the sky.

[Ahhhhh!

“It’s tough.”

The devil’s arm was cut off.

The dagger possessing ridiculous magic possessed the power to cut demons by itself.

I laughed as I tossed Marvas’ arm, which slowly faded into dust.

“ha ha ha… .”

Wipe the demon’s blood from your face.

My heart was pounding again.

His spirit was pushed to the limit, but he was enjoying the situation rather happily.

There is no need for fierce strategy and thinking.

The only thing left is a comfortable process where you can hit it with your body and get the desired result.

This is a fight and a battle.

With a deep smile, he spins the dagger.

While I was enjoying this sense of release, Vassago appeared behind me.

[I need to seal it.]

Even demons could use seals.

If it wasn’t a demon holding the power of sealing, the power would be weak, but it was still the most effective method against the undead.

Apparently I couldn’t overcome the demon’s power yet, Vassago’s restraints tied my body tight.

Similarly, Gamigin wearing a horse’s mask puts his hand on my head.

[There must be a limit to reviving from the dead.]

“Heh heh… .”

[I will try to kill you ten times.]

no use.

How many times have I fought in my life?

He risked his life and fought with demons, executives, and transcendentalists.

The immortal being is an enemy that no one wants.

Various methods and means were used to try to seal me, or there were attempts to make me immediately stop reviving by killing me several times.

Still, I won.

After all, I didn’t die and I wasn’t sealed.

The moment my head was blown off by Gamigin, Vassago slowly began to seal me away.

This was also the trigger for the contract.

At a time when his body began to harden slowly due to the seal, and his thoughts gradually began to dull.

Called the Great Devil.

“Execute the contract.”

[I will.]

The moment I heard the Great Devil’s answer, I immediately died and my body turned to powder and disappeared.

Then I was resurrected right away and my whole body was completely formed in the position I wanted.

[When did you break the seal and come there… .]

The place I appeared was behind Vassago.

The most difficult was the Power of Suppression.

In addition, since it was accompanied by teleportation, it was impossible to take any action whenever it was struck by the power.

So, I must kill that demon.

Fu-wook!

The dagger pierced Vassago’s neck.

The glasses she wore cracked, and her trembling eyes slowly turned back.

[Killing the devil… .]

“Is it possible.”

Why do monsters who are not even gods talk about immortality?

You are only living eternal life.

No, that’s great too.

But immortality is not.

The dagger stuck in his neck began to form a more elaborate magic circle.

Overwhelming black magic is formed.

So much that even the devil is afraid of it.

[Stop!]

Gamigin, who was pouring out his power to kill me, didn’t have time to move right away.

Instead, Marvas, who was suffering from a severed arm, jumped in.

For a devil, it is tearful camaraderie.

but it’s a handshake

I should act more calmly, what would happen if I pulled all the power of my whole body and rushed at it?

Even if I was defenseless because I was casting black magic, I could always cancel it.

He pulled out the dagger stuck in his throat and threw Vassago at Marvas.

What would happen if Marvas and Vassago collided like this?

Vassago would be beaten with the authority of Marvas.

Even a demon cannot withstand the power of other demons.

What will happen?

I enjoyed imagining and watching the results.

“pop.”

[No!]

Slap!

Just like that, Vassago’s body was shattered.

**

She was happy at first.

As long as Argal, whom he thought was dead, was resurrected, it didn’t matter.

Even if he says he’s immortal, it’s okay if he’s been hiding it all this time.

‘Cause I’ve got to be alive

But the more he died, the more intense the fight, the more his heart felt.

Gradually, I realized that I was heading to a strange place.

Asher noticed the fact that even the person concerned did not feel it.

“…stop.”

Asher let out a silent clamor.

The feeling of sympathy with him is gradually disappearing.

He was becoming a monster.

As if your body is getting wet from a gradual pouring shower.

He was drowning in madness.
