Chapter 167 – #7. Face to Face and the Truth (6)
The warrior who returned to reality slumped on the chair. If I hadn’t been sitting in a chair, my legs would have loosened and I would have collapsed to the floor. The psychological shock of the hero who saw the terrible future was that great.
Kai Sa tilted his upper body and reached out to the hero, wiping the tears from his eyes with his thumb. Right after returning to reality, seeing the hero who was stunned and unresponsive for a moment, Kaisa teased and smiled, saying, “Even crying is cute.” She acted like she was his girlfriend. As the focus returned to her heroic eyes, she smirked and asked what she was feeling.
“How do you feel? Just now, that’s the future you should have faced. And…”
Kai’Sa’s white and beautiful hand brushed against the warrior’s chest. When the index finger pokes the warrior’s stomach, a flinching reaction comes back.
“As you can see, the present world is a slightly different future. Thanks to a certain demon king’s consideration.”
“…What.”
So, you’ve prevented that terrible future? You?
The warrior’s expression immediately became a question. Kai Saga grinned as she took out her handkerchief and wiped the sweaty warrior’s face.
“Well, okay. I decided not to play around, so I’ll just tell you the truth.”
Kai Sa placed her hand on the disc again.
“Are you ready to listen?”
“Hurry.”
The warrior who came back to his senses calmly exhaled and demanded the truth.
“Guardian of space and time… You know the majesty of ‘Sim’, right?”
Kai’sa asked, exalting her guardian with her playful joe. She glanced at the Guardian, where the warrior still sat like an invisible man, and nodded her head.
“Like that, there are similar or stronger energies besides mana. One of them is the demon king’s ‘magic’. It’s an energy that’s one level higher than the black mage’s black mana.”
She held up her palm, condensing an alien energy onto her hand. The hero sensed it and was taken aback. As Kaisa said, I felt another aura that was neither mana nor the majesty of a guardian. If the majesty overwhelms others, Magi makes those who face it feel uncomfortable. The energy itself, far from being unpleasant, was close to pure, but somehow I felt like avoiding it. However, the Demon King had a very comfortable expression in front of Magi.
“And this demonic energy appears in different forms for each demon. Just like a prism, even if it is the same demonic energy, it comes out in very different forms depending on each demon. Do you know the title we put in front of the name? That is actually the attribute each demonic has. “
Kai’Sa pointed at herself with her index finger.
“I’m the Kaisa of Lust. In other words, my magic stimulates lust. Would you like to experience it? I’ll give you an unforgettable night for the rest of my life, heehee.”
The hero sincerely listened to and understood Kai’Sa’s words, but ignored her jokes as if it were natural. As if she knew Kai would not accept her, she immediately continued her words.
“The Magi of Frost Prague is cold, and the guy you killed. The Baal of Destruction. Now you know, his Magi awakens the instinct of destruction.”
Why did I put such a peculiar word in front of the demon king’s name, but now I know the truth. The hero knew in his heart that it was the devil’s taste.
He found out something he didn’t know anyway… That fact alone didn’t mean much. Even if it was information I didn’t know at all, it was still only one piece of the many puzzles. Having just one means nothing. Kai Sa, who was smiling, immediately opened her mouth and handed another puzzle piece to the hero.
“And when the demon king invades another world, he scatters his demonic energy all over the world. If you just listen to it, you won’t understand it. It’s hard for me to explain too. It just happens naturally and instinctively. Anyway, beings free from that demonic energy No. All mankind, intelligence, and creatures with emotions are affected. There are some individual differences, but in the end, the whole world is affected by the devil’s energy. For example, Baal of destruction has destructive tendencies, lust Kai’Sa floods the world with lust.”
“Right…”
“How is it? After listening to it, is there a part that makes sense?”
At that, the hero immediately nodded his head.
“Somehow. Yes, the world I was summoned to was full of violence. It wasn’t just barbaric, it was like being engulfed in invisible madness…
He looked at Kai’Sa’s hand, which had been placed on the disk, and nodded. Seeing that the hero understood, Kai’Sa continued her explanation.
“And speaking of curses, the principles of curses are simple. The demonic energy of such a powerful demon is fired directly at you. No, should I say attached? It has power only when it is converted into energy. But instead, the magic is sticky and lasts beyond imagination. It does not fall and continues to affect you until you die. The reason Baal of Destruction cursed you is that power It’s exhausted and no longer has the killing power to kill you, so it has a very bad energy attached to it so that it will lead to destruction later on.
“Ah… Yes. I know that.”
“Curses manifest in different forms for each person. Just as demons appear with different properties for each demon king, and light is dispersed into many colors when it passes through a prism, different curses appear for people with different inclinations, even if they are the same demon. No matter how much it may be, one or two people might have the same curse, but you guys are all really different. I guess I should say I like it because it’s overflowing with personality.”
“…”
Kaisa continued to speak to the silent, thinking and understanding hero.
“My curse, uhm… It’s cute compared to Baal. It feels really good. Huhu, don’t you agree?”
“…Okay.”
The warrior who learned the identity of the curse affirmed it with a trembling expression. The identity of the pleasure that I accepted and enjoyed to the fullest, knowing that it was a curse left by the dead demon king… Kai’Sa in front of me did not know how long it was, but she secretly observed this side for a time that was by no means short. He didn’t feel very good because he felt like he had been made fun of, but on the other hand, he was also curious about the intention of not touching this side that was full of gaps. However, Kai’Sa had no intention of revealing her intentions yet. He pushes another truth to the hero again.
“But, do you know what? The curse placed on you is very, very weak.”
“A weak level?”
“Of course. I’m the Demon King too. If I really put a proper curse on lust… Giggling, everyone would have died of pleasure long ago? Should the cause of death be said to be good luck? Are women good luck? Haha, anyway.”
Kai Sa licked his lips and asked, squinting his eyes.
“Even that weakened curse was cut into three pieces. Level 1, level 2, and level 3 to minimize the impact you guys will receive. Do you have anything in mind?”
“The level… I can’t believe it?”
A puzzle piece popped into the hero’s head.
The happening that happened on the last hot spring trip. Strengthening of the curse. At that time, everyone’s curse rose from level 1 to level 2.
“It’s a curse that I’ve paid some attention to, so by the time you’re ready to accept the 2nd level without difficulty, the curse will have strengthened on its own. Looking at the expression, it seems that something came to mind.”
The thought I had right before the curse was strengthened was… The pleasure of ‘playing’. Sexual desire to enjoy netorase endlessly in the future.
Kai’Sa’s curse was strengthened to level 2 after grasping the condition of such warriors and women.
The hero looked quite surprised because he couldn’t even imagine that it was the trigger. But now that wasn’t the problem. According to Kai’sa, the curse seems to be up to level 3. Remembering the huge difference between level 1 and level 2, the hero swallowed dryly and asked.
“Could it be that the curse is up to level 3?”
“Yes. I can’t help it. No matter how hard I try to make you weak, there is a limit. I ate the curse of Baal of Destruction, but I made the influence on you as weak as possible. You don’t know how much my head hurts from controlling my strength, right? I did my best, so don’t whine.”
“…”
A level 3 curse is important, but more…
Should I say thank you… ?
The hero looked at Kai’Sa with a complicated expression. The disc is still silent, so everything you’ve heard so far is the truth. Then… Her curse was definitely what saved this side. But she couldn’t readily say thank you. Because she still doesn’t know what that means. The demon king in front of me still didn’t tell me why.
“Note that.”
Kai Sa put her index finger up with a slightly sinister smile.
“Level 3, compared to level 2, is very, very strong.”
“What?”
“Have you all experienced it yourself? How the curse changes completely when it goes from level 1 to level 2. Level 3… It won’t even compare to level 2. Hehe, you can expect as much as you like.”
“…”
The warrior lost her words. As Kai’Sa said, the 2nd level was definitely huge compared to the 1st level. In particular, not a personal curse, but the common curse of all women [Seed] Was so strong that I couldn’t feel the strengthening of the personal curse much. Whether the curse gets stronger as time passes or whether it regains its original power, the effect was stronger now than right after reaching level 2 in the hot spring. In addition, the change in the mindset of women who began to enjoy it in earnest must have had an impact.
“But rest assured. You won’t be level 3 while you’re on Earth. I guarantee you.”
“While on Earth? What are you talking about?”
“That’s right…”
Match.
Kai’Sa lifted her hand from her disc and clapped her hands together, raising her body. Kai’Sa stood up from her seat and stretched her arms out wide, grinning with her teeth baring her excitement. She was as excited as when she first revealed that she was her demon king.
“I’m going to get to the point soon. You were curious too, right? Why did I protect you and the women instead of hurting them?”
“…Yes. Let me know.”
It felt kind of cheap. But the warrior didn’t care. It’s much better to be nervous after knowing than to remain anxious without knowing. He waited for Kai’Sa’s words with concentration.
“Actually… Oops.”
Kai’Sa ‘I’m so excited~.’ While standing up with a wink, she put her hand back on the disc.
“You guys, will you stay on Earth?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m going to say it in a straight-forward way without asking 20 questions. You guys, if you stay on Earth, you won’t live long.”
“…What?”
The disc was still unresponsive. Instead of continuing his words, Kai Sa glanced at the Guardian of Time and Space.
“This is his field.”
The Guardian of Time and Space, who had been sitting still for a while, stepped out. Kai’Sa subtly grabbed the Guardian’s hand and led him onto the disc. The guardian opened his mouth naturally without hesitation.
“Mana users are much stronger and live longer than normal humans. But that’s when you have mana.”
It was the first time the guardian of time and space had spoken multiple sentences. Her upbringing was much cleaner than expected, but that wasn’t the point for her now. The warrior slightly furrowed his eyebrows, as if he could guess what he said behind the scenes.
“That means…”
“Without mana, mana users are.”
Terrible words shot from the Guardian’s mouth and drove like a nail into the warrior’s chest.
“Immediately undergo the process of extinction.”
