Chapter 176 – Causal -5-
I left the demon king’s residence, leaving behind the demon king who was dumbfounded with the jewel of chaos in his hand.
With this, if an evil dragon appears in the demon realm someday, the jewel will be delivered to him.
That means, there is nothing I can do in the demon realm anymore.
At most, it was to check whether the jewel was properly delivered in the distant future.
No, it’s an excuse
It was ambiguous to convey it to the demon king only with words, so I made his face like rice cake dough, so he will follow my instructions properly.
Calm your mind and take a deep breath.
If I awoke the ego of the evil spirit, I could easily blow away my feelings now, but I didn’t want to.
The relationship with Lilith, which began by projecting Yeren, reminded me of myself before becoming a demon.
Beautiful curves in a slender frame.
The wings behind it hugged her warmly, and even a handle specialized for a specific position.
Above all, Lilith was beautiful.
I thought I’d stopped paying attention to such trivial things long ago, but Lilith seeped through my cracks.
“Um…”
More than anything… She brought back the doubts I always felt before.
“Something… In the end, I think I got eaten.”
A second relationship that reluctantly continued.
Since then, Lilith has changed her attitude befitting her title as Queen of Succubus.
She coveted my genitals with her eyes shining like a beast, and she was not satisfied with several relationships…
“Whoa, that’s it.”
If I really hated it, I could have quit on my own.
I also missed someone’s attention and affection, and Lilith was just following her own instincts.
Perhaps the reason she was greedy was because I was an evil god.
It is like pressing the estrus button after tasting the gene containing great power.
At the end of their relationship, which lasted for several days, Lilith’s hard exoskeleton grew and changed her shape like a giant egg, perhaps as a result of the power of the evil god.
A mutation only to protect my body.
The fact that Lilith has changed so much means that she is pregnant.
Having hidden her in her place, safe and quiet, but still infested with demons, I went straight to her demon lord.
And now, I stopped in front of the distorted space and muttered the same words over and over again.
“Good job.”
No one would think of touching Lilith unless she had lost her timid head.
I’ve done everything I could.
… Even so, the need to protect Lilith blooms in her head.
-Sue.
Just in case, I looked back.
The only thing that catches my eye is the empty scenery of the demon realm that is still dull and repulsive.
There is no one holding me back from leaving.
“Let’s go back.”
It’s time for the uninvited guests who don’t fit in the demon realm to disappear.
I hoped that Lilith, who would wake up one day, would not be hurt by my empty seat.
* * *
Lately, it has become very popular.
Then today.
A painful moan passes through my ears due to the harsh exhalation and bitter cold, as if I have suffered from altitude sickness.
It wasn’t a deer or a wolf.
―Heo Eok, Heuk, Huuwook!
A human arrived at the top of this snowy mountain where I slept.
Noisy.
Interfering with this hatred and regret.
I don’t want to be interrupted by the time I fully dwell on my feelings.
Should I kill
It was a simple thing that could be done lightly without having to get up.
Because I was evil
– Ajak!
At that moment, I bite my lips and tongue at the same time.
As I hurt my body with my will, my head heats up and now I list words like magic.
“Neritiel, Beatrice, Joanna, Yeren, Sophia Drin, Lia, and Hyeji.”
And,
“Lilith.”
With that, he took back the initiative of the body.
“Whoa…”
It took some time for the evil spirit ego to clear up the negative things that it had been ruminating over for a long time.
By the time the boiling emotions subsided, the flesh of the lips and tongue was restored.
In terms of experience, this time seemed to have been asleep for the longest period of time.
Who is it
Who came to find me
I get up and slowly head towards the person who came to me.
“Oh God-!”
Humans cried out to God.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the number.
Illya must have already died.
Even if you are lucky enough to be alive, you will be as good as dead.
“Oh God-! Please, save my daughter!”
As if they were not afraid of being buried in a fierce blizzard, humans did not stop shouting.
Unfortunately, I had no intention of listening to that person’s request.
There was no reason for that, and if I did a favor and saved my life, more humans would come to me and use me to satisfy their greed disguised as mercy.
Even if you say you can go over using it, if you do, all the causalities will be twisted.
-Kooung.
At that time, the touch of the evil spirit resonates in the heart.
It seemed that he was telling me to listen to that person’s request, and that he had to do so, full of will.
“Yes, what.”
Approaches humans without worrying about them.
* * *
“This is the child! Please… Please!”
The human who ushered me into his own house was terrified of me.
But motherly love, as if it had transcended fear, she knelt down in front of me and begged earnestly while clashing her teeth all the time.
“Wake up.”
It was uncomfortable, so I lifted the woman up and crossed my arms.
There are two things I realized.
First, looking at the clothes of women and their daughters, it is quite a long time.
To the extent that I don’t have to go back to sleep anymore.
Secondly…
“You are already dead.”
“Yes yes? What do you mean by that…”
The woman’s daughter is already dead.
It was good to put a cloth soaked in boiling water on the forehead to warm up the cold body temperature a while ago.
But that would only benefit a living human being.
“No words… Can’t… Aaaaah-! It can’t be!”
The woman screamed as she clutched her head like a half-mad.
You probably already realized it.
Because the snowy mountains were never low.
Even if you climb fast enough to die, it will take at least a week for humans.
This girl, she must have been dead for weeks.
The reason it didn’t rot is purely because the temperature is very low.
The feelings of a parent who has lost a child are of a type I am not familiar with, so I had no intention of providing clumsy consolation.
So I turned around and tried to head for the snowy mountain again, but I stopped.
“Oh, no… ! Oh baby! Merry-!”
“Merry?”
When it comes to that name, there is one thing that comes to mind.
A girl who spent a long time alone in the wall.
As I approached Mary to check on her and removed the rag from her forehead and from her eyes, the woman ran in a fit of rage.
The face of the girl I saw with my own eyes.
“Mary Joy.”
“This, profit… Uh, my daughter’s tooth, how can I name it!”
At first glance, I don’t know.
Was the girl I remembered right?
It was too long ago, and it had been left unattended for a considerable amount of time, even if it was not corrupted in the first place.
Above all, what can I do even if this girl says that the Mary Joy in my memory is right?
Her space where she exists is connected to the Holy Empire, so she will probably become her cleric afterward…
『Would you like to transfer the soul to the boundary?』
―Payment: Toes
It’s been a very long time.
I never thought I would see this message again.
He never cheated on me and was always on my side.
Now I think I know who the subject of this message is.
‘It’s here.’
Does that mean that Ilya isn’t dead yet?
No, maybe after death, she sent it to me with her will or thought?
First of all, I looked again at the contents of the ambiguous message.
The eerie message of taking my toes instead of transferring my soul to the boundary.
There was no need to worry.
Illya must have a reason for showing me this message.
“Transfer.”
A few minutes to do so.
This space was filled with only the mournful cries of a mother who had lost her daughter.
No additional messages appeared, and I returned to the snowy mountains.
With each step, the bones in the toes were crushed, and they were crushed as if they were being hit with a hammer.
It seemed that the evil spirit, who had been saddened by the fact that he could never die, would be happy.
A couple of teeth are chipped, probably because I bit my molars hard to endure the pain.
When he returned to the snowy mountains, his broken teeth regenerated, but his toes did not.
The pain was intense, but the fear of losing a part of the body was greater than that.
It was around that time that the message reappeared.
『With Mary Joy caught on the edge of her life and death, she became the manager’s deputy.』
A smirk escaped him.
He got stuck in the wall again.
Thinking of the fact that one day another me would come and rape him, I was stunned.
Be patient even if it’s frustrating.
That wall, he’ll break it down.
Mary hadn’t even dreamed that she would be involved with me in the past.
“Oops.”
Her toes, which supported her body, were gone, so she felt a little empty and had trouble balancing, but she was relieved nonetheless.
“Come to think of it…”
The story I heard when I met Mary.
That Ashte’s name is engraved in the Great Chapel of the Holy Empire.
It also meant that in the not too distant future, I would be visiting Mary.
“Her toe is not a waste.”
Until then, I hope you are staying healthy.
Oh, don’t bother Changmuk too much.
