Chapter 198 – Advent of the Demon King ( 9 )
Gying– Gyying—
A room about 10 pyeong with a magic circle hanging on the wall and resonating.
“…”
The bald giant sits in a chair and stares at the dusty ground.
He didn’t move at all, so a terrible silence flowed through the man that if someone saw it, he would think it was a stone statue or a mannequin.
Shuuk-..!
Then I hear a noise like air being sucked in.
Fluttering-..!
“How is the owner~? Are there any uncomfortable places?”
In front of the sitting man, a small girl asks a question with a bright smile, with her big breasts swaying wildly.
“…”
The man who slowly raises his head and looks at his shoulders alternately … Cheols.
Cheolguk..-
Until just yesterday, the arms were still attached to both shoulders, but now, as if wearing only the gauntlet and arm of the armor worn by knights, both arms and legs were replaced with metal.
“Until you find a way to remove the contamination inflicted by the Demon King, you will have to live with that arm. Please understand~ Master.”
Nero, a girl with purple hair, only smiled and looked at Cheols with pitying eyes.
Although, tolerable men would react to that charming look.
“..Can you use the ability against the demon lord?”
Cheols looks at Nero with a completely expressionless face and asks.
“A metal that can use the ability against the demon lord that the master requested in advance.. It is an artifact made based on that metal.”
“For the demon king, all monsters cannot use their abilities.. How did you do the principle?”
As a final check, Cheols asked.
“It’s battery-rechargeable. It stores the master’s teleportation ability in the metal artifact. When you use it, it explodes in one hit!”
“Then I guess I can use it. Even for that demon lord…”
Cheols spreads his palm and seems to be reflecting something on the metal surface.
“I wondered why you ordered such a metal before… Did you know? That the demon king would appear.”
Nero erased his laughter and asked Cheols.
“…”
Looking at Nero, Cheols only looked at him but did not open his mouth.
“Ah~! Seriously! You’ve already come this far, what else are you hiding! Does Master not trust Nero that much?!”
Inflating his cheeks at him, Nero complains while clenching his fists.
It was a very mischievous attitude, but those light purple eyes were shaking.
‘If you don’t answer, I’ll leave…’
“I knew. But I never expected it to come this soon.”
Cheols, still in dire need of Nero Meister’s help, looked at Nero and spoke frankly.
“Then, judging from the actions so far… Umm. Master expected Hiro to kill the Demon King… So the plan failed because of the Demon King appearing too soon?”
To Nero, who asks if he has seen through the things that Cheols has been planning with just one answer, saying that he expected the devil king to come.
“Yes.”
Cheols gave a short answer.
“Wow~ Then really! Really! It’s a big deal! Because Hiro ended up like that.”
“…”
He didn’t respond to Nero’s wide-eyed voice, but Cheols agreed inwardly.
Right now, Hiro is lying unconscious in a room on the second floor after being cursed by the demon king.
Chiiik..–!
On both arms and legs, things like small blue embers continued to burn, causing continuous burns and pain.
The extent of the burn is increasing, so if you don’t treat it as the devil said, eventually the burn will spread all over your body and you will lose your life.
Dreuk-…
Thinking of Hiro like that, Cheols stood up and tried to move toward the door of the room.
“Where are you going?”
“Daughter… To Hiro.”
“Are you sure it won’t be like yesterday?”
Cheols hesitates at Nero’s words.
Yesterday means the day the demon king invaded.
– Heh heh..!! Hiroya..!! Hee.. Hiro..!! Hiro?!
Cheols, who always maintained her composure through the ego of multiple entities, lost her reason when Hiro was in pain, and repeated screams and wails while hugging her body.
– Nero… Please! Please save my daughter..!
Surprised by the first sight of Cheols, Nero hurriedly tried to break Hiro’s curse by mobilizing all the magical knowledge he could.
– Sorry sir… This is the kind of problem I can’t solve.
Nero, who had always referred to himself as the Grand Alchemist and was arrogant, admitted that he could not solve the problem, speaking sincerely in his original tone.
– Her…!
In the reality that even Nero couldn’t solve it, Cheols couldn’t keep the line of emotion.
Drop—…
Temporarily blocked the emotional part by using the ability of the tentacle demon.
– Keugh..!
However, when he saw Hiro in pain, he felt that his emotional block would be released, so Cheols escaped to the secret room in the library.
“You have to face it… You will find a way to overcome it.”
“Okay. Hurry up and go~ I’ll be waiting for you, Hiro!”
Kiik-
Staring at Cheols, who left without looking back at Nero’s words.
“…”
Nero put on a bitter expression.
========
Ugh-…!
‘I can’t help but see no sign of recovery.’
A woman with a white light bulb floating in her hand and frowning white eyebrows.
“Uhhhhh”
At the end of such a woman’s gaze was a beautiful girl with red hair who could not open her eyes and only moaned from her mouth.
“How the hell did this curse happen…!”
While she was under the 10 beggar healer Maria, she studied all kinds of debuffs, curses, and solutions to contamination.
Chieik..–!
However, the curse of the blue flame burning the girl’s body right now, I couldn’t think of a law to heal, and it was dangerous to even touch her with such a terrible demon.
“Well, even Grand Alchemist Nero-sama said it was impossible… Haa.”
The white-haired woman who let out a small sigh, Baek Seo-eun.
“But why am I here…?”
She began to worry about her own predicament.
It’s just that she was hiding near her mansion to make sure that her younger sister Baek Seo-hee is doing well.
Whoaaaaagh
– What… What?!
Some terrible demons burst out of the mansion.
[ I am Nero Meister! The demon lord has now appeared in the mansion! Even with my great skills, it’s all I can do, so get ready to use the strongest skills you can use right now!! ]
In her head, a girl’s voice was a jumble of honorifics and flatulence.
Of course, Nero Meister was known as a man, and out of the blue, he was a demon king, so preparing a special move was nothing but nonsense.
– The real Grand Alchemist?!
Realizing that the magical power in that telepathy was the magical power of Nero Meister, whom she met with her teacher Maria one day, Baek Seo-yang had no choice but to believe it.
Pachang–!!
– Whoa!
..I rushed to the demon king and was stopped within 1 second.
Since then, as a disciple of the world’s best healer, he has been left in the mansion at the request of Cheols to take on the role of treating Hiro and reducing pain.
Kik-.
With a bang-!
As soon as she heard the sound of the door opening, she turned her head and looked back.
“…”
A giant with a bald head and a hard face.
Iron-..
Even though he wears metal armor on both his arms.
‘It’s a bit hip.’
Baek Seo-yang, who has a unique fashion taste, passed it on without thinking.
“Cure… Is it possible?”
At the words of Cheols, who cautiously asks about Hiro’s treatment as soon as he arrives.
“I don’t want to say this, but… It’s a little difficult. No, it’s very difficult. I’ve never seen a curse like this.”
“Would it be impossible even if Maria, the healer, came?”
The brow wrinkled at the rudeness of seeking another healer in front of the healer.
‘Let’s be patient.. The other person is the person who takes care of our Seohee.’
“I’m the one who received all the skills from my master. If I can’t fix it, even the master won’t have any other options.”
He replied that it was impossible with a slightly unpleasant expression.
“…”
However, all those unpleasant feelings disappeared from Cheols’s silent gaze at Hiro.
‘Well… My daughter has become like this, and she must be desperate. ‘
Just yesterday, Baek Seo-yang saw Cheols holding her daughter and crying in a most sorrowful way, so she could understand her feelings at least a little bit.
Is that why?
“This curse… If it’s the ability to heal while controlling debuffs, it might be possible to heal.”
Baek Seo-yang murmured while thinking of Baek Seo-hee’s ability without her knowledge.
With a bang-!
“Is that true?!”
‘Oops.’
The image of Cheols shouting right away reminds me that his one and only sister wants to be in this mansion.
“But where in the world can such an ability exist? Healers specialize in healing, and witch doctors specialize in cursing… Someone who can do both at the same time.”
Baek Seo-yang replied with an awkward smile. But maybe she wasn’t good at lying from the beginning, so that laugh was too clumsy.
‘It’s a lie. I know this woman.’
As a businessman, Cheols, who is sensitive to changes in the other person’s expression, realized at once that Miss Baek Seo knew who the healer was, but was hiding it from herself.
‘Healer that Miss White knows but has reasons to hide…’
Cheols reasoned by mobilizing all dummy human thinking abilities.
‘Baek Seo-hee…!’
I remembered the ability of Baek Seo-hee, who had a battle with Hiro.
‘Baek Seo-hee lost her memory…’
Desperate at the same time.
Baek Seo-hee has lost her memory.
She, of course, confirmed that she was already unable to use her powers and concluded that it was impossible to use her powers until she regained her memories.
‘I need Baek Seo-hee’s ability to save Hiro… But I don’t know how long it will take for Baek Seo-hee to find her memories. Hiro doesn’t have much time left…!’
At that time, she was in such a dilemma and was thinking about what to do.
Kik-..
Hiro’s visit opens.
“I came to wash the towel.. Ah! Lord..Master..”
Baek Seo-hee, dressed as a maid, enters, carrying a washbasin with a wet towel.
Baek Seo-yang and Cheols look back at Baek Seo-hee at the same time.
Baek Seo-hee puts the washbasin down on the bedside table as she puts a puzzled expression on her face, saying she has no idea.
“It’s Seohee.”
“Four? It hurts.. Master?”
She almost said it was her father for a moment, but when she corrected it and said it was her master, Cheols’ eyes sank.
“Could it be… Could our Seo-hee… Use her powers for Hiro-unnie’s sake…?”
The face of Cheols, who asks in case of doubt.
Sorry!
From the figure of the white woman who apologizes with a mouth from behind.
‘Sister must have made a mistake..’
Baek Seo-hee realized that her own older sister, who has a slightly lax side, made a mistake that would reveal her identity.
‘Certainly…Do I need my ability to heal Hiro Kim?’
Baek Seo-hee was also known as a genius, so she drew the result closest to the answer without difficulty from Cheols’ earnest voice.
“I can’t use that ability…”
.. Must be said.
Baek Seo-hee, the moment the people at her mansion find out that she can use her abilities and has regained her memories, she is killed by Hiro Kim, who obviously won’t be very happy with the original Baek Seo-hee. There is a high probability of being expelled from the mansion.
‘I can’t lose the only home where I can feel the warmth of my hard-won family like this…’
– Seohee is… From now on, you’re my younger sister!
‘…But.’
“..I can use my abilities.”
The moment she saw Hiro in distress, she revealed that Baek Seo-hee could use her abilities without her knowledge.
“Really?! Can you really use your abilities?”
Even though he must have blocked his emotions, Cheols urgently asks Baek Seo-hee by the shoulder because there is a possibility to cure Hiro.
“..Yeah.”
Baek Seo-hee closed and opened her eyes and nodded her head.
The 8-year-old child inside Baek Seo-hee grew up a little.
