231 – Goal (8)

#13

The devil introduced himself like this.

Glutoni.

“Is that your name?”

The devil laughs.

“Isn’t that a nice name?”

I like to sleep, I don’t know what it means. I don’t even know the demon language. But can you guess the meaning of the name? It’s good.

“But I’m sorry. I wish more people would remember my name. I want to be remembered for a long time. Even if it’s human. I already forgave… Ah! The heart of forgiveness, I learned from a young nun in the abbey. She says her name is Shati, but unfortunately she was an orphan from day one. The thing that took her away, who had no blood relation to her….”

Heard with one ear and let it out with the other. The story was not interpreted at all. Because I was only concentrating on finding a gap in him.

“… So, Shati learned the virtue of forgiveness from the abbot. She eventually forgave her parents for abandoning her. Unbelievable! Just like that, the abbot taught Shati her forgiveness. And she taught me forgiveness. Did you say this is a virtuous cycle? If so, I should be grateful. Thank you as always, Shati.”

The devil closed his eyes. He put his hands together and prayed faithfully. For an instant, the demon’s hair grew longer and the color became brighter. His height was almost the same.

The devil, who had changed from a girl into another girl, was wearing a nun’s veil over her fresh blonde hair.

The devil smiles as he quietly lifts his eyelids.

It was a holy smile.

“Forgiveness is a human virtue. I think even if you do something bad, you can be forgiven if you sincerely repent and apologize. Awesome isn’t it? Humans did bad things to me, but they never apologized. I was so sad about that. I was embarrassed and angry…. It’s okay though. Because Shati apologized to me on behalf of humans.”

At that time, gurgling-.

A single tear flowed down the devil’s cheek. It was red The blonde nun opened her mouth, alas, as her tears of blood began to flow.

“I was wrong. Sorry. Did I harm you? What made you angry? Don’t do this. I was wrong. Please forgive me I don’t want to die. Sorry. Help me….”

The demon fell to his knees. He stretched out his trembling hand like the last leaf. The light in his golden eyes slowly faded. Her bloody tears flowed and flowed, wet her small, plump lips like cherry.

“So, finally, I forgave the human….”

His arms, which he held high in hopes of salvation, drooped and fell to the side. That was the end of the young nun recreated by the devil.

“Shati was a cleric who believed in the gods of humans, but it was me she believed in until the end of her life. So he begged me for forgiveness, but he didn’t blame me. I was Shati’s only friend.”

The devil said while lying on the floor, looking at me with dark eyes.

“As I said, I was a friend of Shati. Also, from Railroy, Heinfel, Duna, Theros, Arwan, Korferi, Sayvik, Almeit, Myris, Kasban, Eldonas, Siryan, Erwihed Of, of Porduba… ….”

The demon listed the names of those he killed one by one.

The number is endless, and even listing dozens and hundreds of tombstones filled with the names of young and old humans would not be able to write them all down.

“My poor friends.”

The demon wept forlornly sank into the floor. As he rolled his eyes and looked everywhere, the devil climbed up again from under the floor where he had disappeared. Procrastinate….

The shape of the shadow was a female knight in silver armor.

“I remember all their names.”

The devil’s tone changed solemnly.

Sug— Chuck.

The devil who led the Arming Sword in moderation speaks.

“Even if the existence disappears, the name remains. I don’t want to disappear, but one day I will. When that time comes, I hope that all beings in the world will remember my name. Then I will remain in the world forever, and my existence will never disappear. It is the completion of immortality.”

“You mean you won’t die lightly.”

Click.

I have already pressed the button hidden in my pocket, but there is no response. Just in case, I thought I’d pass the time and let them keep talking.

You seem like the talkative type, so let’s get some information.

“Is that why you broke into the frontier?”

“…… Invasion?”

The devil in the shape of a female knight twists his eyebrows.

“It’s a mess. Trespassing is a term used when an area is invaded without permission. Humans forgave me and allowed me. Why do you call it an intrusion?”

“Who will allow it? You guys have been the unchanging main enemy of humans since the distant past. No human being would welcome a devil. Get out of here right now Or I will kill you right here and now.”

“Poor thing.”

The devil looked at me sadly.

“You only know one, you don’t know two, and you don’t know ten. Even if there are a hundred realizations in the world, you will only know one thing in your lifetime.”

“I don’t want to hear from you.”

“Don’t you know those who claimed to be devils even though they were born as humans? There is no way you will not know the worshipers who serve him, honor him, and live for him until the day they cease to exist. But, why are you pretending not to know? Or, do you really just not know? Which one. Human.”

“… ….”

Are you talking about the demon religion?

Even if something came to mind, he didn’t answer.

‘Being a traitor…… Could it be that he was a demonic cult?’

You’re thinking in your mind.

The devil who had been staring at me continues to speak.

“In addition, can humans and demons be distinguished? Why do you humans have the curse of being devilish? Which one is closer to the devil, a devil who has not killed a single innocent human being, or a human being who has killed many innocent humans? Are those who are human but deviate from human reason, really human beings and not demons?”

“You talk nonsense.”

I have no heart to listen to the devil’s philosophy.

Remembering the messy day thanks to this guy, I chewed my lower teeth.

“I am a human, and you are a demon. I will kill you, and you die here today. That’s the truth and that’s all.”

“…… Poor thing.”

The devil looked at me sadly again.

The feeling of being sympathized even though there was no reason to be sympathetic was truly disgusting.

“I added excitement by saying that today is a festival for humans. It is said that true happiness is when you forget the agony, forget the pain, forget yourself, and finally fall into selflessness. I just made everyone happy. But why are humans so hostile to me…….”

“Don’t talk bullshit. You just wanted to eat your desires, didn’t you?”

“That is also correct.”

Sereung─

The female knight drew her sword.

“For the humans, for me, for him. I’m for everything in the world However, there is a well-deserved reward for dedication. If I dedicated myself to humans, humans should repay me. I will devote myself to more people, and I will be rewarded by more people.”

“That dedication is what makes people go crazy.”

“I also just wanted to repay you.”

Pu-wook─

The female knight drove the knife into the floor.

He put his hands on the hilt and looked at me intently.

“No pleasure, no joy, no sorrow, no happiness. Aren’t they all one emotion? For example, we shed tears of joy, weeps of sadness, weeps of happiness, and weeps of pleasure. All the same. There are people who feel happy when they see others sad, and there are people who feel sad when others are happy. I learned and understood human emotions, but I couldn’t be human after all.”

The female knight shook her head.

“Then I have no choice but to repay you in my own way.”

I was sure here.

A monster that does not understand human emotions.

That’s the true nature of the devil.

“You talk a lot. Are all demons like this?”

“… I can’t voice it yet. That’s why I couldn’t even tell my name outside. But you came here Since you are here for the first time, I have given you my name. I also wanted to share a conversation with a guest while they were here….”

“Where is this?”

“Okay. Is it my haven? But there is no specific name.”

The demon calmly shrugged his shoulders.

“Can you decide? The name is determined by the bondi. Therefore beings are born.”

“… ….”

After thinking for a while, I answer.

“What did you say your name was?”

“Glutoni. I asked you to remember-“

“Good.”

I smiled.

Then I pulled my feet back to get into position.

“Simply, with Glutoni’s tomb.”

“… ….”

The devil shut his mouth.

“…… Human.”

Reopened.

“I wanted you.”

The devil looked at me with eyes full of longing.

“I wanted a lot of things, but what I wanted most was you.”

… I see

Even if not all of them, I wonder if that was my goal.

A stack of guilt built up inside me.

“If you respect me, I was willing to respect you too. That’s why I invited you, but you didn’t respond. But you are here now You finally accepted my invitation. Our doctors finally agreed. Hopefully now-“

The devil held out his hand as if asking me to shake it. However, it was so far that it could not be caught unless someone approached first.

“I haven’t heard your name yet. So can you tell me your name? I will remember you, and then we can be friends.”

“Fuck me.”

I like you.

Isn’t it that he intends to kill like other humans after all?

You probably already know my name anyway.

“… ….”

The demon’s hand stayed in the air.

“Unfortunately, this body doesn’t have that dick. However, if you wish, I will change it to a body with a dick.”

The devil withdrew his hand again.

The knight’s armor melted in an instant. Even the leather on his face drooped, and it came together again and again into one shape like clay.

The devil grew taller. He was a black-haired man with normal clothes and a normal face. His chin looked rough with an unshaven beard.

I couldn’t stand it and chewed my teeth.

“…… This bastard.”

Idrate Cranil.

The devil in the form of my father speaks.

“How is it? If so, are you willing to be friends with me?”

My eyes were bloodshot.

How dare you insult me under whose guise?

Quang!

I stepped on what I thought was the ground. The shadows clung to the soles of their feet and made them soggy. The pace was slow. Still, the fist landed on the guy’s face.

“I’m sorry. Son.”

I have no memory of being a child of the devil.

Devil. The unmistakable devil narrowed his brows.

“I didn’t grow at all. Are you really my son?”

“Shut up your mouth!”

Fuck!

Light burst from my fist.

I thought it was a valid blow, and it actually was, but what appeared after my father’s face collapsed… Was the mother

“I can’t do this. You say let’s be friends It’s wrong to hurt your friends. Stop it now Ezio.”

“Shut up… I did!”

The anger piled up. Decided. I will definitely kill this guy. The mixture of rage that was not mine and rage that was mine confused me. If it was his right hand just now, he swung his left fist this time.

Whee Woo!

“… ….”

For a brief moment, the devil with the face of a mother had sad eyes, so there was a moment of hesitation. Thoughts stopped, but actions did not.

Fuck!

My mother’s face sunk. Her teeth went out and her jaw fell out and rattled. My power definitely worked. It worked….

“Strange.”

“… !”

The devil appeared from behind me. Even if it was knocked down and knocked down, it continued to resurrect. It was Sasha’s face now.

“Neither this nor that. What is your desire what the hell do you want I’ve never seen a human as strange as you.”

Kwajajak!

Sasha’s head exploded with her fist.

Her eyeballs popped out and were terrible to look at.

The shadow changed its shape again.

Continued.

“You know, is what you feel really your feelings? In fact, isn’t everything about you being manipulated by someone?”

“Let’s grow.”

“You have changed. So much has changed. Ezio Cranil, you were already dead then. What’s here is just a corpse doll. You died saving me Ezio.”

Ruvia.

“You are not here because you wanted to. You will be hateful But who do you hate? Devil? No. You are looking for the wrong object of your hatred.”

“… How long are you going to talk about it?”

“Okay. Destroying demons won’t restore your past. You will live broken for the rest of your life. That’s your destiny Just like I live in ruins because of you.”

Mu.

“Your hatred is wrong. We’re friends already, but let’s be friends again. I can help you.”

“Shut up… !”

“Let’s bring down the false god and put our god on the sole throne. He will watch over us. Then you don’t have to suffer anymore. You will be freed forever What a beautiful ending. There is only one way for you to be truly happy. Trust Him.”

Stella.

“Is it because you are worried about your friends? Do not worry. Existence does not disappear as long as the name is remembered. You will remember the names of your friends for the rest of your life. Is not it?”

“Stop talking like this and come out right now!”

“It’s okay. It doesn’t matter if you become a demon and hurt your friends yourself. Your friends will live inside you forever. Just like I remember my friends names.”

Glass.

‘…… Kut.’

All of them chattered with familiar faces, and the more they exploded their heads, the more confused my mind was.

I’m sick and tired of welcome.

“I won’t hurt you. Look now, I’m just standing still. Why are you trying to kill me like that? I want to be friends with you I want you. Share with me what is inside of you.”

“Shut up… Shut up. Shut up, fuck!”

Yuri grabbed her by the scruff of her neck. Then Yuri’s small body floated in the air.

Beside them, Mu, Rubia, Stella, Elena, Abel, Mother, Father…… The shadows of many people were reflected.

Ezio, Ezio, Ezio…….

They stood in a circle around me. Several people’s voices rang out at the same time. The feeling of vomiting rises. Spitting and shouting loudly.

“- What is the purpose! You bastard!”

It does work. It works, but when you destroy one, two come into being, and then three come into being. There is no end. Maybe I should just swing my fists until I die here.

Yuri, who was grabbed by the collar, speaks inorganically.

“Soon he will look upon us.”

With Yuri’s face and voice, the devil reveals his faith,

“I came here for him, for me, for man. This is the fastest way to store my power. No, even one of you is enough. Share your strength with me let me eat Then I’ll be satisfied. I will leave here.”

“Is the person you are talking about, Selene, the demon god?! Are you talking about that duck? “

“… ….”

That moment.

“- Human.”

The devil’s mood changed suddenly.

“I’ll give you 5 seconds, take off your clothes right away and get down on his knees and pray to him. Bow down and ask for forgiveness.”

The devil’s mouth did not move.

But the voice continued to be heard.

“If you do, I will give you a ten-minute grace period, and if you pray again, I will give you an hour grace period. But if you don’t-“

“Two.”

Instead of smashing his head, he spat.

Insults are met with insults.

“… ….”

Stick saliva stuck to the bridge of Yuri’s nose.

That was a terrible sight.

“Keep keep keep.”

If you do this to the real Yuri, you’ll be in big trouble.

Perhaps he lost his temper due to anger, and laughed and fell asleep after seeing his immoral appearance.

“… Five seconds have passed.”

Slowly….

The shape of the glass that was caught in my hand disappeared.

Koo-gu-gu-gu-gu.

A voice mingled with the sudden vibration.

“It’s noisy outside, so let’s finish playing. I am tired of provoking you.”

Dubuck, thump.

An exceptionally clear footstep sound came from behind.

“The portal will no longer exist. I never thought I would create a portal directly in my resting place…. That’s a method I hadn’t even thought of. Was it simply luck? Or did you know the location of my resting place? … Anything is good! No one will come in here anymore.”

I turned my body half a turn.

There was a demon there.

“-Let me introduce myself once again. My name is Glutoni. He says, the great devil of greed.”

He was half hazy, half clear. Half of it was a shadow, with the middle of his body as the boundary line. The rest were dapper men in suits. He looked pretty skinny for a self-proclaimed greed.

Is that why you’re always hungry?

“Poor incarnation. We welcome you.”

Glutoni raised his chin arrogantly.

Then, human figures lined up all around him. These were the people who had just surrounded me. From there, more and more people, who seemed to be hundreds of people, met me on the other side.

Myu raised his sword. Rubia prepared her magic. Yuri lifted her hair up, and Stella squeezed her necklace. My father pointed a sword at me. Her mother glared at me sternly.

Standing tall in the center, Glutoni spread his arms wide.

“Welcome. To my haven. I won’t make you regret coming in alone without fear.”

I laughed at that confident tone.

And then he clenched his fists.

“What are you talking about? You will have to regret it.”

Kwajik—!

I slammed Mew on the leg, bit her neck with my teeth, and ran quickly in front of her.
