Chapter 110 – Episode 110 Demon Descent (2)
More than a pair of horned demons… No, maybe even stronger than the king of demons.
When I faced an enemy of a level that I shouldn’t have met at this point, cold sweat flowed down my face.
Worst of all, even being inside the body of former colleague Owen.
If I’m determined, I’ll cut it without hesitation, but I don’t want to do that if possible.
“Keukkeuk… It’s been a long time since I’ve been a contractor, and it’s been a long time since I’ve been out in another dimension…”
“…Hey. Is the conversation going?”
The guy who didn’t know what I was saying was Owen. He twisted his neck at a strange angle and looked at me.
No matter how you look at it, it seems to be unfamiliar to the human body.
If the situation is like that, I don’t know if it’s worth doing quietly?
“Oh, a human from this dimension. Nice to meet you. I am the loser of Eastern Hell, Beelzebub of Gluttony.”
“…Okay.”
It’s a name you’ve heard a lot.
“What happened to Owen?”
“You mean the owner of this body? Right now I’m in a state of shock. That’s why I was able to temporarily take over the body.”
“I’m glad you’re not dead…Then moving on to the next question, what is your purpose?”
“Hmm…? Kkeuk. It feels like being interrogated. Do I look like a vicious sinner? That’s right! Out of all the many, many sinners in Hell, I’m guilty of the worst. Ha ha…!”
“…”
Owen’s face and body make a thick voice, so I can’t get used to it.
“That’s why I’m used to interrogation…Ah, should I answer? The purpose, the purpose…Yes, it must be to eat first.”
“Eat?”
“Thirst and hunger are the cursed original sins that do not depart from me, so shouldn’t I eat and eat and eat to soothe them a little?”
The guy who spoke with an unfamiliar expression and voice pointed at me with exaggerated gestures.
“Then now it is my turn to ask questions. If I declare that I will eat the world, what will you do? What was the intention of asking a question that might go against the heart of this strong man?”
He’s a surprisingly talkative guy.
“…Of course, to prevent it.”
“Blocking? Why? Do you have a duty or mission to do that?”
“First of all, he’s a warrior.”
“Ah! Hero! Proud god’s watchdog! Poor, pitiful creature whose eyes and ears have been blinded by the god’s light and grace! Do I really have to fight with the peace-loving me? If you send me away, there will be no false accusation, no trial, no bloodshed, and you can also protect your own life and comrades, so how desirable is it? “
Although his behavior and tone were intrusive, as if he were acting, he calmly lowered his head and raised the holy sword.
“I’m sorry… But the body you occupied is also my companion. I can’t let you do whatever you want.”
“Oh, fate! And fate! Gods never fail to put men to trial! How nasty and cruel!”
He smiled lowly and pointed at himself with a creaky, awkward gesture.
“However, even if you fight me and win, it will be a long way from getting your comrades back. The contract between this body and me is like that.”
“…Exactly which contract did you sign?”
“Ugh, that’s rude and outrageous. Contracts are solemn and sacred, so tell me that! Don’t you think that the karma will extend to the god you believe in!”
“I don’t care what happens to that damn galbo, so just shut up and talk.”
“Hmm…?”
He suddenly closed his mouth and opened his red eyes wide, tilting his head several times as if wondering.
“It’s really bizarre to say that you’re a god’s guard dog, but you don’t worship, don’t believe in, and don’t hesitate to insult them. No, wait a minute…”
Looking more deeply, as if penetrating, he soon twitched the corners of his mouth and started laughing loudly.
Haha! What is this! What the hell is this! Spirits are mixed like mash in a vessel arranged by God! I wonder if the breath of hell I lived in reached there? In my life spanning tens of thousands of years, I have never seen such a bizarre being! No matter how timeless the years are, the world is still wide and deep!”
The guy who laughed and clapped his hands exaggeratedly, as if thinking about something, squeezed his chin and snapped his fingers, then grinned.
“Okay. Mysterious one. Let me tell you a part of the contract in particular. This body, a gloomy, pitiful, paranoid-ridden woman, wanted from me. The power to kill all the other women so that she could take possession of the man named ‘Rom’. I wanted strength. I went further than that, and I wanted the power to rule Rome.”
“Awkward…! Owen…!”
He dissuaded Elia, who was resentful next to her, and urged her to continue speaking by bobbing her head.
“Hmm, so?”
“I agreed to grant that wish, and in return I wanted ‘freedom’.”
“…Freedom? Not soul or body?”
“I wanted that too at first, but she refused, saying that everything that made up her belonged only to that person named ‘Rom.’ Love is a supreme and pure thing, so how can I take it lightly?
“What do you mean by that freedom?”
“It’s literally the same. It’s just that this body’s freedom, this body’s freedom to act as me alone, is filled with the freedom of her woman.”
“You sat down with complicated words… So, to put it simply, it means that you can act as Owen’s body, right? Judging from what you’re saying there, it seems like there are restrictions…”
“He’s smart, smart, but has no romance.”
“…That’s fortunate.”
I wondered what would happen if I sold everything, be it soul or body, but this is not the worst thing.
-Rom, this is an opportunity.
‘…Release? What are you talking about?’
She had been still for now, and when she expressed her doubts to Lilith, who suddenly began to speak, she laughed softly.
-Until now, I was wasting my energy trying to see through his soul. Whoa, this is really, I feel like I’m lost. It takes so much time and energy just to see the soul… There’s a long way to go.
‘…So you’ve figured something out? So? What do you mean by chance?’
-Anyway, Beelzebub seems to have a pretty body. The kid named Owen also seems to have taken care of himself. I don’t know the full details of the contract, but it seems that a fairly unfavorable contract was applied to him.
‘Hmm, continue.’
-He took a part of his soul and planted it in that girl’s body. It is to exert power and control the body through it. However, the soul is not yet in a state of adaptation and is floating. That means it can be easily removed.
‘What do you mean?’
-Rom, take it with your own power! And hand it over to me! Then you’ll be able to recover a lot of power!
‘I see…By the way, do you know someone?’
-…That’s not really what I want to say. He’s gross, ugly, and disgusting.
‘Okay? If you are, it must be so.’
I nodded and stared at Beelzebub.
Behind me, the party members who had approached me were already ready for battle.
“Now, then, strange man. I forgave you for your rudeness and even showed mercy. Originally, if there is going, there must also be coming. Now I want you to just let me go. I feel like my stomach is sticking to my back from hunger, so I need to eat something. I will.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t.”
When I aimed at his holy sword, he smiled as if he had hoped.
“Yes… In that case, I’ll fill my stomach with the humans here first.”
The next moment, the dark red aura expanded like an explosion, and Owen’s body disappeared from the spot.
“Suck!?”
Kwokwaang!
I managed to block the fist of the one who was wrapped in strong weapons all over my body, and flew away from me, clenching my teeth.
“Oh, did you block it? Quite the way.”
“…How did you sell your magic?”
“Kukkuuk, this body does not use such miscellaneous arts. The only entertainment is to drink and eat with overwhelming power.”
“…Mutou Para, right?”
Like Kelly, is martial arts fashionable these days?
“Whoa…Okay. Let’s try it.”
“Goddess. Give me strength and courage.”
“In the name of the Mother Goddess, I proclaim here. No unclean thing can enter.”
Feeling the well-timed Monica buff and Isabella’s declaration of sanctuary, he rushed at it, and Elia, who was in sync, swung her sword at him at the same time.
Caang! Kakakang!
“Oh, that’s a good technique to pass. It looks like you’ve been breathing for quite a while, right? Kuh… Your mouth is watering. It must be very delicious…”
Beep-beep-beep!
The boy’s movements were bizarre.
He twisted his limbs as if trying to move a missing joint, his back bones groaned, and his neck bones made an ominous sound as he couldn’t keep his head still.
Kwakwaang!
However, even with such imperfect movements, the power alone was incomparable.
Elia and I swallowed our saliva as he bounced away from a distance just by waving his strong hand.
“…Tsk, Dilgyo doesn’t work. Can’t you…”
It’s still very exhausting, but I have to do my best to fight evenly.
“Elia! I lead! You assist!”
“Kuh…! Got it!”
“Huuk…!”
As he spurted blood and rushed at it, the expression of the guy who was standing leisurely was colored with surprise.
“Ohhh! That’s quite right! How did you reach that level at such a young age!”
“Shut up and fight!”
Kagagak! Khachaang!
Haha! It’s been a while since my blood is boiling! It’s fun!”
“Kuu…!”
It was only after putting Hyulgang in the forefront that we were able to open a proper battle, but in fact, it was quite dangerous.
Chupat! Tsuguk!
Despite his strange movements, his feet and fists fly swiftly and sharply, and every time his fists rub against him, the flesh falls into chunks and blood spurts out.
“Ahhh!”
He gritted his teeth and entered in line with Elia, who wielded a sword, but the guy blocked it with his hand wrapped around his strength as if it was not a big deal, and then counterattacked his face and chin.
It is as natural as flowing water and as fast as a flash of light.
Kwokwaang!
“Kuu…!”
Haha! It’s fun! It’s fun! Try this too!”
“Fuck…!”
He desperately swung his sword while chanting profanity, but his martial arts were several times ahead of me, and his speed and strength also overwhelmed me, so he was often put on the defensive.
At least it was Owen’s body that was able to withstand it.
A small, fragile body that was fenced off from movement.
Moreover, the fact that he was not accustomed to the human body was also great.
“Khaaap!”
“Hmm?”
For one of the designs for victory, I pretended to attack and sprinkled blood, but the guy avoided it with a puzzled expression.
“You seem to be persistently getting blood from earlier. Is there a reason?”
“…There’s not much damage, but if I just hit it, where will it go?”
“I don’t think I’ll ever get hit in the future.”
Quaang!
“Keugh…!”
“Thunder Spear!”
“Ice Needle!”
“Thunderbolt!”
“Fire Storm!”
At that time, fierce elemental attacks, along with numerous magic chanting, attacked him.
It was the support of Aurora and other wizards.
“Um…! Bugs like bugs are interfering with a warrior’s duel! I’ll have to get rid of them first!”
Khachaang!
“Kuh…!?”
“Ah…!”
When the guy who strongly repulsed us got in the way of the wizard, we were fiercely conflicted inside.
Should I use the skills that can be called my trump card now?
“Rom. Don’t lose focus.”
“We’ll keep it.”
Quwaaak!
“Hmm!?”
Fortunately, Monica and Isabella, who moved quickly, deployed their holy shields to protect the wizards.
“This… Is an unpleasant energy that is in conflict with my energy! I’ll destroy it right away!”
“Where!”
Although the holy shield blocked the black and red strong air once, it was obvious that it would not be able to stop it, so I quickly intervened.
“Keuuugh! You guys don’t even know the honor of a warrior!”
“A demon bastard is a warrior’s honor! Just die!”
“Haaaaap!”
The guy, who was put on the defensive for a moment by me and Elia’s wave of attacks, put on his strong spirit with a look of anger, and he started to attack us at once.
Even though it was an ignorant attack that only attacked with power without any skill, we had no choice but to retreat while desperately defending.
“Keukssuk…!”
“Damn it! Elia! You can’t go any further than this! Get out!”
Up until now, Elia had been able to intervene somehow, but as her guy’s strength grew stronger, she became something I had to protect, so she slammed her aside.
“Heo-eok, hee-eok…! Rom…!”
Elia trembled her sword with a look of resentment, but she didn’t rush into it, perhaps realizing that the momentary battle was of no help to her.
“Big, big…!”
Haha! It’s really tearful to think of my comrades, but what if you deal with me alone? The excitement goes cold!”
The one who ran fiercely with a sadistic expression on Owen’s face, overwhelmed me even though he was destroying even the magic that flew in from time to time.
Thud! Quaang!
“Keah, kuhh…!”
Damn, counting dirty!
He gritted his teeth at the feeling of his ribs going out, and swung his sword desperately.
What do we do? Are you using your skills right now? But only then do they equalize. If there is no decisive opportunity…
“Zuguuuuun!”
Fu-wook!
Just then, an unexpected figure popped out and completely caught her off guard.
Merina.
Her sword, dyed in a slightly duller golden color than Elia’s, had pierced the guy’s side.
“What…!?”
“…!?”
That moment when he and I were perplexed.
“Now! Lord!”
“It’s invisibility magic…!”
Seeing Merina’s transparent body return to normal, I didn’t miss the opportunity and rushed.
“Well done! Merina!”

My holy sword, which I used by overlapping two skills, attacks him with a force that cannot be compared to before.
