Chapter 155 – You Can Just Stay Still

– Your men. Are you supplying me with regularity on your behalf? That one of them was disconnected.

“!”

At Lilith’s words, Galatea’s expression hardened.

“No way…”

– Okay. It looks like it has a tail attached?

“Nonsense. Could the forest elves have the power to break the black magic… Ah!”

Galatea realized herself while speaking her words. Aren’t there besides the forest elves? She was the object she cursed herself so much until just now.

Lilith came to the same conclusion.

– That’s right. It must have been the work of the human your cute Nanggunnim told you about. What’s great though? It’s a double contract with your subordinates, so even though it has low control, I didn’t expect it to be broken by mere humans… It seems that I am not a normal human being. Maybe I’m a little interested too?

“…”

Lilith continued her conversation calmly, but Galatea’s expression was still frozen.

“Who is it? That the connection was lost.”

– He’s there. An ignorant, strong child like a farmhand.

“… Is it Minerva’s sister?”

Minerva is strong enough to compete for her supremacy among Galatea’s men. There was no way that she would have simply surrendered to a human like that by force. Even taking into account her curse. She must have been onto something.

“She didn’t notice anything strange until this morning.”

Minerva kidnapped Allen with Veronica today. She even reported directly to Galatea. There was nothing special about her until then.

– Then it must have happened after that.

“You mean you’ve already invaded this city…”

It was the correct answer. Otherwise, there is no reason for Minerva to suddenly be defeated.

However, she received no reports of foreign enemies invading. I don’t know what method she used, but it makes sense that she came in stealthily enough to avoid the prying eyes of the vigilant Dark Elves. If Lilith hadn’t told her, she wouldn’t have known about Galatea either.

“Right now Minerva-sister… No, I have to go myself.”

– Do you have the confidence to handle it?

“Yeah sure…”

– Didn’t you hear what I just said? You said the connection was broken. Don’t you know what that means?

“…”

Galatea was speechless. He understood Lilith’s words.

If the connection is broken, it means that your black magic may not work for that person.

Of course, it’s just a home. As Lilith said, it was also true that her dominance was diminished because it was an indirect double contract with her subordinates. If Galatea went out on her own, she might be able to deal with her.

But she doesn’t even have to risk it from the beginning. Lilith was about to tell the story.

– First of all, isn’t it first to accurately grasp the opponent’s strength and ability? Fortunately, the other side must be mistaken that they haven’t been caught yet. You have to take advantage of that advantage. In times like this, the ones you use are your subordinates.

“…”

Her way of treating her men as tools was jarring, but Lilith was right. In the first place, Galatea’s black magic wasn’t specialized for direct combat. Besides, if it was Galatea’s order, her men would follow any order.

In the end, Galatea, in accordance with Lilith’s opinion, summoned her men. Among her subordinates, her most trusted right-hand man.

“Did you call, Chief?”

Even though it was late at night, Veronica quickly responded to the call. The figure of her wearing a longsword at her waist was very reliable.

“Sorry for the late hour, Veronica. But it is an emergency.”
“Tell me.”
“Foreign enemies have invaded.”
“What do you mean external?”
“I am human.”
“… Human?”

At Galatea’s words, Veronica tilted her head. It was such a word that even Veronica, the most loyal of his subordinates, doubted his ears.

“I know it sounds like a joke, but it’s true. This is a story I heard directly from Mr. Humans definitely exist. And he broke into this city to take Nanggunim back.”
“… I will believe Please give me orders.”
“There is a high probability that the human is now infiltrating Minerva’s house. It seems that Minerva has already suffered, but… You should never miss it.”
“I will immediately declare a warning, raid Minerva’s house, and subdue the human.”

Veronica modestly bowed his head and left his room. Galatea and Lilith looked at Veronica’s door for a while.

Lilith opened her mouth first.

– How do you think it will turn out? Can that kid handle that human?

“It will be fine. Because Veronica, unlike her Minerva sister, has a thorough personality.”

– Huh…

Okay. Minerva may have been caught off guard, but Veronica is different.

Besides, there are differences in circumstances. Right now, we are clearly aware of the enemy’s presence and are trying to launch a counterattack from this side.

I’m sure I’ll be able to catch that human and kneel in front of her.

– Well, it doesn’t matter what happens to me as long as the regular supply goes well… Whoops. I’ll give you some support though.

“…”

Galatea glared at Lilith as she spoke her mean words.

Demon Lilith.

It occurred to me that I had been with this demon for a long time.

Almost a hundred years.

If you’ve been together for such a long time, you’d be kind, but… Galatea still couldn’t like this devil.

It was natural.

Because it wasn’t a contract I made because I wanted it in the first place.

And even now, Galatea was trying to satisfy the condition of her contract termination in order to part with this demon.

And finally the time has come.

Allen… She had a hunch from the first encounter. This person must be the man she has been looking for so far.

There’s not much left now.

If the man from the other world is caught and only her chastity belt is removed, Galatea can finally achieve what she wants.

‘Wait a minute, sisters. I’ll correct the mistakes I made myself.’

***

A hundred years ago, the time when elves were in the midst of being slaves to humans.

Young Galatea was living as a test subject for a group of human wizards.

The magician’s experiment subject is none other than the devil’s work. The humans, following the elves and other alien races, also tried to command the demons. And Galatea was none other than a sacrifice to summon the devil.

Young Galatea was placed on top of the magic circle, and a ceremony to summon the demon was performed.

The ceremony was a success. The demon Lilith responded to the humans’ summons.

However, Lilith did not move according to the will of humans.

The wizards tried to make a pact to keep Lilith bound to the present world, but it was Galatea, not humans, that Lilith chose as the target of her pact.

– If you make a contract with me, I will give you the power to defeat those humans.

Galatea, who was still young, did not know what it meant to make a pact with the devil. The fact that the moment you make a contract with the devil, the connection with the spirit water is cut off. If only I could get out of these hellish days right away, that was good.

A contract was made. And Lilith kept her promise. She empowered Galatea to fight against humans.

Black magic. In other words, it is the power of the devil.

The power of Lilith, the demon of lust, is none other than fascination.

The words fascinated me, but the reality was close to mind control or brainwashing.

Overwhelming power that allows you to manipulate the opponent at will just by looking into their eyes.

It took less than a day for the group of human wizards to be erased from the world.

Because Galatea was still young and the curse of her obedience had not been engraved, no human could control her.

It was the moment when elves with the power to stand against humans were born.

But there was a problem.

If you receive something, you must also give it.

Of course, the contract with the devil was not free.

– Nothing too difficult. It’s just a matter of supplying it on a regular basis.

Of course, the spirit that Lilith, the demon of lust, referred to was male semen. However, Galatea at the time was too young for physical intimacy. Above all, she didn’t want to mix with anyone, for reasons such as her regular supply.

Fortunately, there was a solution to this too.

– You don’t have to collect it yourself. It’s because you can create a subordinate and collect it instead.

“Load?”

– Okay. Load. Instead, it should be an elf like you. Because the connection between different races is weak. Isn’t it nice that you can save your people too?

Afterwards, Galatea roamed the continent with Lilith, and she rescued elves enslaved by humans. To be precise, it wasn’t liberating, it was just changing her master.

From spirit water to human. From human to demon.

Being Galatea’s servants who made a pact with the devil, it was no different from serving the devil as well.

Of course, no elf wants to serve a demon himself. Even if they were saved from humans, the elves would surely despair if they knew that the connection with the spirit tree had been severed.

But Lilith said to Galatea:

– Still, isn’t it better than continuing to live as a slave to humans? Don’t worry, I can heal any wounds in my heart with my own power.

The treatment method was simple. Because you can manipulate memories through brainwashing. The elves just wanted to make it from discarded elemental water.

It was the moment when the concept of the Dark Elf was first created.

So Galatea continued to rescue the elves from the humans.

But one day, something unexpected happened.

Epidemic.

The humans who used to enslave the elves had gone extinct like a lie.

The elves were thus freed and returned to the forest. Galatea was out of her business. The demon’s power was no longer needed.

However, the contract with the devil was not something that could be broken at will.

– Cancel a contract? Whoops, who cares? Even if I let you go, will the spirit water accept you again?

Only then did Galatea realize that she had been tricked by Lilith. If she hadn’t made a pact, at least she could have returned to the forest with the elves she saved.

But now it’s too late to regret it. Who could have predicted that humans would become so extinct in the first place?

Lilith said teasingly to Galatea who was in despair.

– Hehe, if you want to cancel the contract, don’t you just have to satisfy the conditions for termination? So, can I get rid of it without any regrets?

TERMINATION CONDITIONS. In fact, when signing a contract with the devil, it was a rule to set conditions for termination.

However, it was the devil’s trick to put up conditions that were practically impossible, and to make it virtually impossible to cancel the contract.

The condition that Lilith offered to Galatea to terminate the contract was to offer her virginity to the person she truly loved.

At first glance, it seemed like a very simple condition, but there was a catch here.

The only person an elf can truly love is an elf.

However, the male elf has dried up due to the curse of humans. The few remaining male elves also returned to the barrier-bound forest.

Of course, it was impossible to satisfy the conditions.

– There’s nothing to be sad about. Can’t we just live like now? I’ve also roughly tweaked the heads of your men so that they can enjoy this life. You can just stay still

There were no options. It was already too late to turn around. In the end, Galatea and her men had no choice but to live a life worthy of the Dark Elves, as Lilith wanted.

But after a hundred years, a miracle happened.

For some unknown reason, the barrier of the forest was weakened, and he was able to meet the last remaining male elf.

Of course, meeting a male elf did not mean that the conditions were satisfied. Because the content of the condition is to dedicate a virgin to the person you truly love.

But that part wasn’t a problem either. When Galatea saw Allen, he fell in love with her at first sight. Maybe it was because of the recoil that kept her virginity for a hundred years. Anyway, there were no problems.

The only hope left for Galatea was Allen. Her minions abandoned by her elemental number through her own fault… How to send her sisters back to the arms of the forest.
