Chapter 230 – Planning (1)
*
If only I could hear the answer from Asmodeus, there is something I want to ask the most.
I was curious about what plans they had and what purpose they had, but these are not the questions I want to ask the most.
What Carrie wants to ask most is…
“Why do you want to start a war?”
Kerry asked the condescending man on the subject of being held captive.
Okay. This is what I was most curious about.
What is the gain he gains from starting a war?
At first, I thought it was a desire for power or control.
However, Asmodeus was already manipulating the emperor behind the scenes.
It was as if he was already ruling the empire behind the scenes.
‘In the meantime, the war with Astria…’
If it was intended to conquer Astria after thorough preparation, it would be understandable.
But as far as Kerry knows…
There was a high probability that what Asmodeus was aiming for was the destruction of Astria and the Empire.
It’s not about conquering continents. Its purpose was to shed innocent blood.
“Tell me. Why do you want to start a war? What plans are you preparing?”
“…”
I saw it in Lina’s previous life her, but at the end of that terrible war, all that was left was despair.
The captive man looks up at Kerry and smiles. It feels insignificant.
The boy opened his mouth and spat out a word.
“Sick.”
That’s the first word
That guy made a big mistake. You should do it while watching people.
“Do you think I’ll bow my head to a guy who’s having a party and flirting with girls?
You guys and I have different lives!”
‘If it’s about rolling in another world, I’ve rolled quite a bit.’
I know how it feels when each day is filled with a desperate struggle to survive.
So I knew very well that this guy would never open his mouth easily.
Kerry pursed her lips.
It was an order. It was Kerry who reached the level of an intermediate wizard after continuing training with the witch.
The first thing I used was Silence Magic.
It was to prevent the screams that would explode from now on from leaking out of the room.
The man said in a panicked voice, perhaps feeling the unusual atmosphere.
“Th-yes…You were a wizard. I know…I knew. But magic doesn’t work on me.”
He’s a very talkative guy.
Well, even with a fairly heavy personality, there will be no choice but to talk a lot now.
A dark room left alone.
He was tied up tightly, and his opponent was a hostile mage. It’s worth being scared.
Kerry purses her lips.
At that moment, a strong wind blows through the room.
At the same time, red blood gushed from the man’s leg.
“Aww! My legs! Legs! What have you done, you bastard!”
“I tried it. It works well.”
As a test, I cut my leg in half with wind magic. With a nonchalant expressionless face.
The man began to look very different from Kerry. He is completely different from the Lina I just saw. It’s to the point where she doubts whether she’s a hero or not.
In fact, it was just Kerry pretending to be heartless.
“I tried mixing magic with divine power. It turns out to be surprisingly easy.”
It was because of Kerry’s talent that it was easy.
The man was trained for over a year just to receive and awaken divine power.
He had never dreamed of even using magic.
It was just wearing divine power.
‘It’s a bluff. Nonsense. You hit it right away with your senses?’
The man looked at his legs.
It broke through the protection of his holy power his and neatly cut his bones his.
If he wasn’t self-healing with divine power, he would die from excessive blood loss.
The man said with a confident expression.
“I told you, if you’re going to kill me, kill me. I’m dead anyway. Because of you guys.”
Why is it our fault After all, the world of psychopaths is profound.
Kerry also cut the man’s other leg with wind magic.
“Kuaaaaa! My leg!”
Blood trickles down the man’s legs.
“Kill me! Kill me! Fuck!”
“Death is whoever wants to die.”
“!”
“You can’t die even if you want to die until you answer all my questions.
Don’t even dream of committing suicide. You’re not the only one with divine power.”
Kerry radiated her divine power as if to show off. A brilliant golden color that cannot be compared to that of men.
She is a light comparable to the golden light of Asmodeus that I once saw.
‘There was no information that such a monster was here!’
Asmodeus is completely wrong about Kerry.
The man couldn’t help but think so.
‘It’s not just an annoying man, it’s a monster!’
Cold sweat ran down the man’s forehead.
Kerry recited her wind magic without asking.
This time his left arm was hacked away by the wind.
“Aaaaagh! Stop…Stop it!”
It’s a body that doesn’t die easily because of the divine power.
Thanks to this, the man was suffering more than the human body would allow.
“You… You are a warrior! It’s a warrior party! It’s okay to be a hero!”
“Yes. You can do it.”
As if Kerry had confirmed the kill, she crushed both of the man’s legs with her feet of her, not magic.
The wound that she was healing with divine power is crushed and blood leaks out.
“Aagh! You crazy bastard!”
“If you keep swearing, you can cover your mouth so that you can’t even scream.”
“Ughhhhh…”
The man licked his lips shut. He said don’t curse He didn’t tell me to shut up.
Anyway, the bluff seems to have worked well.
It’s the first time I’ve tried torture, but there’s an adventurer jjambab.
In those days, he saw a lot of things he wouldn’t see, so this level was nothing.
He’s probably under more psychological pressure than physical pain.
As long as you have divine power, you will not die and you will suffer endlessly.
Endless torture where you can’t even die at will.
The fear of the vague future that torture gives you is as scary as death.
“What do you think? Shall we continue? I’m okay. I have a lot of time.”
The man stars at me as a blood-haired bastard. It was funny how he kept his mouth shut.
It was then.
Knock Knock Knock
A knock was heard from behind.
Sirens magic is to block internal sounds, but external voices can be heard well.
Kerry opened the door.
Covering it with her body so that the man inside was not seen.
You don’t have to show me anything that’s not very good.
Outside the door, a party gathered with worried faces. Had I been waiting like that all this time?
It was cute to see them huddled together.
Said Lina.
“Ugh… I’m worried. I can’t hear anything from inside…”
“There is nothing wrong with this. Lina.”
“She said she was the original woman because of the Silence magic, but she said no one would listen to me.”
“Originally, everyone is very worried.”
“There are a lot of worries. The party is only sensitive to you, Kerry. Huh.”
“West. Don’t push yourself too hard. You don’t have to take on all the bad things.”
It’s bad
It doesn’t feel that bad. A villain who wants to destroy the continent. How about cutting off some limbs?
Arwen said with a worried face.
“Right. Kerry! Like Kerry…A good person doesn’t have to be overbearing.”
“…”
My conscience always hurt at the expectations of the party.
“Don’t overdo it.
He is a person who communicates better than you think. It will be over soon.”
Victoria then intervened.
“You’re not really overdoing it, are you? Kerry.”
“My love…If anything, leave it to me.”
No. If you entrust it to the Black Witch, even the great villain might become too pitiful.
For some time, Kerry was able to close the door only after teasing and coaxing the party.
Closing her door, Kerry deliberately raised the corners of her mouth.
It is an act done on purpose. To break his heart her.
It actually seemed to work pretty well.
It is Kerry who was talking with her party in a kind and friendly voice.
As soon as that Kerry closed the door, she changed.
The man was still trembling and flinching from the pain of his cut limbs.
‘This bastard…Must be a real idiot.’
The man assumed that she was hiding Kerry’s true nature from her. He couldn’t help but believe it.
The man looked at Kerry with frightened eyes.
But it seems she has n’t let go of her pride her yet. The guy said with a forced bluff.
“To the great one… You are nothing… An adventurer.”
“Therefore? Will you answer my question? Will you say Just say that.”
I am not interested in other stories.
“…”
Seeing that he is still silent, it seems that he needs more hawks. This is the moment Kerry recites her spell her.
The man had a fit and shouted.
“You can talk! Speaking!”
That’s what it will be.
I felt sorry for making him lose his strength, but I decided to listen to what he had to say.
He even threatened to use lightning magic until he pooped if he was caught groping.
His voice trembled and he began to confess everything.
What I heard from him was absurd.
He was a middle-manager anyway, so I didn’t expect details, but he was able to get a sense of the context of the big plan.
Honestly, it would have been reasonable to believe that this guy was groping.
“Didn’t I say that if I get caught groping, I’ll use lightning magic until I poop in my pants?”
Pain is also pain, but when you get older and poop in your panties, the feeling of shame won’t be normal.
The boy shuddered and shouted. He is nowhere to be found with his proud face.
“Really, this is all I know! Hey, I didn’t lie! Please trust me!”
“…”
It doesn’t feel like lying either. If that’s acting, it’s the best actor award.
Most of all, when I matched it with other facts Kerry knew, there was nothing wrong with it.
If what I have just heard is true…
“These aren’t crazy bastards.”
If the plan goes as Kerry guesses, the continent will literally become a bloodbath.
Just meaningless. Countless lives may die without meaning.
I couldn’t understand why he would do such a thing.
Even this guy doesn’t know why. In other words, he’s a stupid kid.
“Why did you intervene in this matter without even knowing that you were trying to turn the continent into a sea of blood?”
“… Do you really need to know why?
They say that by getting rid of this garbage world and creating a new world, it will give you a good status.
That’s enough.”
Now I get it
That’s why this guy was willing to give up his life so easily. This guy had no regrets in life from the start.
‘Is Asmodeus attracting these guys and making them his subordinates?’
It is also an absurd, different world.
Honestly, it’s not that I don’t understand very much when I think of the time when I rolled around like a dog during my adventurer days.
That’s why this world is a fucking place.
It is a world where even if you risk your life and wallow with goblins or kobolds, you can only survive a miserable day.
Then the man giggles and laughs.
Young. Come in now and catch the poo pom.
“No matter how much you fly and crawl, you are still only human.
You are just a ‘cogwheel’ in the great plan!”
“…”
“When you get to know the true face of this great man, you’ll be just as devastated as I am.
When that time comes…Hehe. No matter how much you beg, you won’t be able to go to the new world.”
Kerry weighed heavily.
The great person this man is talking about is ‘Elena’. As expected, Elena and that rotten bitch were the culprits.
Dog years.
It reminds me of when Lina and I went to ask Elena.
Then Elena asked me to trust her. Everyone said it was a misunderstanding and yelled at me.
‘Misunderstanding is a total misunderstanding.’
Kerry also learned another secret from Elena.
“Surrender to the great one even now… “
But now that I’m here, I don’t care about secrets.
“You sound like surrender. Elena. That bitch that exploded is nothing.”
The man’s eyes widened at the first divine insult he had ever heard.
As expected, the adventurer in front of me was properly crazy.
