Chapter 186 – 53. The Trial of Loia (2)
Cecilia took off her necklace on her own.
Her necklace disappeared from her white neck, revealing her fluff, and Cecilia’s neat, wood-colored antlers reappeared.
“Cecilia…”
As soon as I see the horn, I instinctively get excited. I grabbed Cecilia’s love handles, no, by her horns, and tried to kiss her deeply.
“Whoop… Whoop… Ugh…”
I opened Cecilia’s lips with the tip of her tongue and inserted my tongue into hers. Still shy, but her tongue also responds to the movements of mine.
Each other’s saliva was thickly intertwined. I can feel the resonating Magi being transmitted to Cecilia.
I gave enough energy to Cecilia, who must have had a hard time crafting a new imperial sword. And opened her mouth
“Ha… Ha… Ha… Brother…”
Cecilia hurriedly let out a hot, sweet breath. Two amber eyes that were wet with ecstasy just by kissing.
I caressed her antlers more with a gentle hand.
“I must have used a lot of mana to make this sword. Thanks. Cecilia.”
With that said, I held Cecilia in my arms. Cecilia, who is much shorter than me, came into her arms.
That’s how Cecilia held me for a while. Looking at her horns, I was excited, but I couldn’t contain my sexual desire.
Today, she had a story to share with her, which barely calmed her excitement.
After a while, Cecilia came out of my arms as if feeling sorry for her.
“My older brother is a busy person… I can’t take up too much time.”
Soon she served me a car. And she reported to me the results of deciphering Riel’s handwritten sheet music.
“Decryption was delayed a little while making a new imperial sword… I couldn’t decipher everything. But it’s been quite successful…”
Riel’s handwritten sheet music obtained from a music play in the Art Institute. As expected, the score left a clue about Riel’s final score.
“And I was hinting at the content of the music that Riel’s final score would contain. Perhaps the song is a kind of hymn to the demon prince.”
“Demon Archduke? That means…”
“Yeah. My brother should make a contract… The demon grand duke.”
It was a very important word. Demon Archduke.
After Unir, the goddess of darkness, became corrupted and lost her godhood and went missing. She is one of the seven great demons who inherited that power instead.
As much as he inherited the power of a god, he could be compared to the 6 gods under Jedin when compared to his divine position.
And the demon king meant the one who could use Unir’s power by making a contract with the demon grand duke.
‘Just like my father, Lucifer.’
In other words, in order to prove the qualifications of the Demon King, it means that you must succeed in making a contract with the Devil Archduke.
Naturally, it couldn’t be easy to make a contract with a demon grand duke whose power was close to that of a god. Cecilia, who is both a demon and a dragon, also failed in the contract and the Dragon Heart was destroyed.
‘And originally… What I, Lucifer’s son, should have done. I feel sorry for Cecilia.’
But to that extent, I had to succeed in making a contract with the demon archduke.
Their power was broken in the great war 20 years ago, but the demons are still demons.
The easiest way to turn the powerful forces of dragons and elves into allies rather than enemies. I will succeed Lucifer and ascend to the throne of the devil.
‘If you think about the future. I must become a demon king who has surpassed the realm of Lucifer.’
Even though I have mixed human blood. If you succeed in making a contract with the demon grand duke, you will be qualified as a demon lord.
Lucifer succeeded in making a contract with the three demon grand dukes.
The name of the demon king thus obtained. The cruel demon king. And obviously in the last sheet music he left behind. It seems that there is an arrangement for his own son.
‘It’s obviously not going to be an easy contract. But if I had the sheet music, it might be different.’
Riel’s last sheet music is an epic item that surpasses the unique level. If there are any clues to the contract with the demon archduke. I had to get my hands on it.
Cecilia continued to speak.
“When the deciphering is complete… I think we can find out about the whereabouts of that last score. And if it’s my brother, I’ll be able to reach the 5th tier in no time. You should be able to create a dragon heart that can withstand the demonic power of the Grand Duke right away.”
Cecilia’s eyes were filled with trust in me. And she sneaked up to me again.
In a way, it’s like my existence has ruined her dragon heart.
‘If Lucifer had properly designated a successor and died. Because Cecilia was overbearing, she didn’t have to try to make a pact with the demon grand duke.’
There wasn’t even a look of resentment in my eyes. Rather, she looked at me blankly in my arms and said,
“I… My brother. There is still time before we open the studio.”
“Hmm. Then you should lock the door and come back.”
I couldn’t stand the clumsy but sure temptation any longer. I grabbed her by the horns and made love during interludes.
***
There are no lectures on Monday mornings.
So, I left Cecilia’s studio and was now in my atelier. Eirin, who had sent an errand, returned with a letter.
“A letter from Viscount Mason. Would you like to read it right away?”
“Do that.”
The right-hand man of the Marquis, Viscount Mason. Since his last visit to the zodiac, he has been sending me letters regularly about the situation in the Empire and Ireland.
And watching that trend was very important to me.
‘If I can do anything. I have to move in advance.’
And there was something interesting about that letter, too.
“A small country in the Kingdom Alliance. It says that the capital of Dinant has been captured by the Witchbeast.”
“Dinant, are you talking?”
Eirin showed great interest in my words. She, too, is from the western part of Island, the union of kingdoms. Her homeland has already been destroyed, but it won’t feel like someone else’s business.
“If it’s Dinant, it’s definitely… Although it’s a small country worse than the county of the empire. Still, the capital was captured by the Witchbeast. It won’t just go away.”
Because of the long civil war in the Kingdom Alliance, the national power of the member countries has declined a lot.
However, to the extent that the capital was captured. It means that the movements of the Witchbeast are obviously completely different from before.
“The demons are more organized. It must have become more threatening.”
“That’s right. Young master.”
I even read the letter. The Kingdom Alliance requested reinforcements from Essenmund because of the shocking fall.
Because of this, Marshal Wilhelm dispatched the White Night Knights and some Essenmund bottles. He couldn’t send many.
This is because the movements of the monsters that appear in the permafrost are also different from before. The number of monsters increased, and their movements became more organized.
“I heard that even Uriel had to be summoned urgently. It doesn’t seem like a normal thing.”
Also, at the end of the letter, a more interesting comment was made.
‘It was witnessed when the capital of Dinant fell. They are humans who show the same power as witches…’
Those who are human but stand on the side of the demons. It was different from the monsters eating monsters or humans and then mimicking them.
An existence that clearly possesses human intellect and behaves like a witch beast. Married man. It meant that those disasters had already appeared in Island.
‘Everything is going according to the devil’s slaughter.’
I know that all of this is a harbinger of destruction. And that I am the one who must prevent the foretold destruction.
‘But. Can I stop it?’
If it’s the level of a simple swordsman, Marquis Wilhelm. As a Grand Master, he is at a much higher level.
In addition, he possesses the continent’s strongest armed forces, the White Night Knights and the Essenmund Elite Soldiers. However, even that mighty power could not prevent the destruction of the Demon King.
Only because of my influence. It might be arrogant to think that we can change the flow of destruction like a mighty torrent.
The moment when I almost felt afraid of the weight. Again, Agnes’ rosary calmed me down.
‘He says it’s fine again.’
Rosario let out a small resonant sound. A holy relic that blocks even the demon’s strong demon power.
Agnes’ Rosario has blocked all mental confusion that I, an ordinary possessor, may experience.
Saint Agnes. A legacy she left to her son. If only she, who could see her future, gave her own son her mission.
Agnes might have seen a future where Julian prevented destruction. So, like now, you’re just calming me down by saying it’s okay.
‘For her now, trusting her is probably the surest way.’
I decided not to make it complicated. All I have to do is to become stronger. Growing by any means available to me.
And, strictly speaking, I’m not alone in doing all of that.
A nest attack that must succeed in order to prevent a bad ending. It’s not something I’m trying to do alone from attacking the nest.
As the system tells you. A heroine with the top 6 fate ranks. Because I have to party with them.
‘Not only me. All of the heroines. It must mean that I need to become stronger.’
My complicated thoughts stop here. And an A+ fate grade heroine right in front of you.
I looked at my maid, blessed by Hessos, the god of art.
“I… Why are you like that? Young master. If anything on my face…”
“Could it be? Bring me a new car here.”
It seems I was staring at Eirin too intently. As if she was embarrassed, she quickly went to prepare her tea.
I am Eirin, the most heterogeneous of the party members. I thought about her again.
‘Eirin’s role.’
The most unique art group in the Pantheon. For now, she just has a great talent for art.
What role will he have in the nest raid party with the rest of the heroines? It was still unknown.
‘Even in the death of the king, I couldn’t play more than a cook. As a maid.’
But after the midterm exam. Eirin will also become a Pantheon cadet. Surely she will have the same role as the other heroines.
And Eirin’s most outstanding ability is. It’s not a perfect maid or an outstanding artist, it’s an intuition that knows how to see the essence of things.
Time passed just like that. After participating in the training of the combat group in the afternoon. She did not return to the mansion and remained in the Pantheon.
When the night finally came. I headed to the battle end, Loia Pavilion.
It was time to get stronger.
***
I am the central garden of Loia Pavilion. I stood in front of a statue there.
[Transformed into the light of Jedin. In honor of the great Saint Agnes]
Standing in front of me is a statue of Saint Agnes.
Just like the familiar face I knew, Agnes, dressed in a nun’s uniform, stood at the vanguard of the soldiers.
‘Because Agnes is a saint from the Roia sect. Of course there must be a statue like this.’
Of course, statues honoring Agnes are everywhere in the Pantheon, not just here at the Battle Order.
In front of the great advance of the demons led by the cold-blooded demon king. Because the saintess who stopped them and united the humans was Agnes.
‘It’s ironic that they were both lovers and a couple.’
Because it was a statue, her hair color and eye color were not revealed. But a blonde and white hair like me. It was a characteristic of Reinhardt’s pure blood.
Moreover, it is a beauty that her statue cannot capture all of her beauty.
‘Of course, my body more closely resembles the face of Lucifer, her biological father.’
Agnes’ rosary trembles little by little. Now it’s time to open Roia’s Trial. I put my hand on the statue.
And the quest was activated through the system.

—————–
In an instant, a blue laurel crown was placed on my head. And the surroundings turned into pitch black darkness.
When the surroundings become brighter again. I was in a completely unfamiliar place other than Loia Hall.
‘Who is he?’
And before my eyes A young woman with long white hair and blue eyes stood there.
