Chapter 50 – Vacation (5)

“At first, I was puzzled when I saw you sided with Mine, but you had a great plan.”

What a great plan.
I tried to make the demons fight each other, but considering that she can slaughter all the demons in an instant, can this be praised as a great plan?

“You look like you’re worried. Your plan was great. It is enough to fill the lack of force with resourcefulness.”

After reading my expression, she said.
It’s a simple plan that succeeded because it could easily trick a stupid muscle brain.
Because his colleagues were also in a state of feeling threatened.

Well, isn’t it a good thing to aim for that point?
Praise always makes whales dance.
Shall I not dance?

“Thank you.”

I told her with joy.

“Why are you thankful for something like this, you did a lot of work. Get some rest.”

A soft, single-seat sofa sprung up behind my back.
I had no intention of rejecting good intentions, so I sat down and felt the soft, fluffy texture of the leather.

Could she have used her magic?
The magic stones that were randomly scattered in the place where the demons had fallen began to gather toward her.

The total number is 13.
It was the same as the rise of my demonic energy.

But? The figure of is unchanged and still 0.0001%.
It seemed that simply catching mines did not rise.

“What should I call you?”

Come to think of it, she had never thought about her title.

“Hmm…Just call me sister.”

Also, he hasn’t given me a name yet.
Judging from that fact, her likability would be less than 60.
You could know her name from 60 on.

“Sister, you said you could see her absorbing demonic energy, right? How about this.”

Since I am a demon, it is natural for me to absorb demonic energy, but I wondered if she would be able to see something different.
But her expression was not very pleasant.

“Hmm… It’s just like ordinary demons absorbing demonic energy. But something was subtly different. I’m not sure I know the difference…”

The witch put her chin on her chin and said in a slightly weak voice.

“Is there any difference?”

I thought it was because I was simply a devil in terms of race, so I was absorbing demonic energy.
However, according to her eyes of truth, I am both a human and a demon.

It is clear that there will be a difference in that contradiction.

“Okay. But I still don’t know.”

She nodded and said.

“Hmm… How about going back?”

I said, pointing to the bags of money and small bags that the demons had.

“If you think about it here, you won’t get any answers. Yes, let’s go back to the Manmulsang. These bags are your spoils, so take good care of them.”

I got up and grabbed two bags.

The money bag was quite heavy and seemed to contain quite a lot of money.
In comparison, the weight of the small bag was light.

“I’m going to be dizzy for a little bit this time.”

Once again, a blue magic circle was formed, and the rays of light that came out gradually engulfed us.

After her eyes were closed by the intense light, when she opened her eyes again, it was her shop of all things.

“Oops…!”

When I felt intense dizziness, my body lost my center of gravity and began to lean toward the side I was carrying the heavy money bag.

-Fluffy…!

But something soft supported me when I thought I was about to collapse.
A sweet smell that paralyzes reason.
Something soft and fluffy covered my face.

“Are you okay?”

Feeling her soft touch, I lifted her face and saw her staring at me with a slight blush on her face.

At the same time, blue lights enveloped me and the dizziness disappeared.

“Whoa… I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. You shouldn’t fall and injure yourself badly.”

She said, removing her face from her chest.
The fact that her face was slightly red when she answered seemed a bit embarrassing even if she pretended to be calm.

“Wouldn’t it be nice to check the loot first? This magic stone is also yours.”

She said as she placed the magic stones she had accumulated with her magic on the counter.

Thirteen magic stones roughly the same size as C-class monsters.
Judging from the fact that each C-class magic stone is 100 GP, it was about 13 million won in total.

‘I’m sure the hunter will make a lot of money.’

13 million won for catching 13 of the lowest level horses in just 2 hours!
Making money was pretty good.

“All right.”

But there was another loot that was more expected than that.

Small bag and big bag.

First, I opened the big bag.

I shuddered at the sight of the 100,000 won checks piled up.
Unlike the GP, which is indicated numerically on the student ID, my heart trembled while looking at the cash like this.

‘My part-time job salary was 2.2 million won…’

40 wads of checks, each containing roughly 100 pieces.
It was 400 million.

“Huh… Crazy…”

4 billion.
What can I do with this money?
Wouldn’t it be simple to buy my own house that I dared not dream of in reality?

However, you will not be able to photograph buildings located in Seoul.
Even in the real world, this amount of money cannot buy a building in Seoul.
Even in this world, house prices in Seoul are much higher than in reality.

Then, what is the identity of the item that has been decided to trade with 400 million won?
Didn’t that muscle monster even say that 400 million won was not enough?

Items worth at least 400 million.
With a trembling heart, I unzipped the small bag.

-Druck…

‘Spirit Stone…?’

What was in the bag was the Spirit Stone.

It is not the spirit stone of blazing fire that I received as a reward for the last stalking incident, but a spirit stone that exudes the energy of pitch-black darkness.

It was similar to the Dark Spirit Stone, but the energy that came out was different.

“Hmm? Isn’t that a spirit stone? But… A mysterious energy is emanating from it.”

Unlike the Spirit Stone of Dark Darkness, this Spirit Stone gave off an aura similar to that of demons.

And a thought ran through my head.
Ah-young is now a normal student, but how was she in the original story.
Didn’t she become the head of the Demon Cult and make her the final boss?

And one more thing.
Ahyoung’s talent.
She possessed SSS-level spirit magic talent.

“Siwoo, did you realize something?”

As if noticing my change, she asked me.
However, it cannot be explained that Ah-yeong was originally the final boss.

“Isn’t the energy coming out of this spirit stone similar to Magi?”

She said something different in moderation.
It wasn’t a lie, of course.
The energy emanating from this magic stone was the same as the magic I possessed.
She did not pretend not to know about the Spirit Stone.
If it were her, she would already know that Ah-yeong uses her elemental magic.

“…! Siwoo. Raise the demon.”

She said to me with surprised eyes that she had caught her clue about something.
I condensed the magic on my hand.

The dark energy that had risen from the dantian gradually took shape on my hand.
The volume of the Magi, which had risen from 1 to 14, was quite large.
Now it’s like a baseball.

“Looks like you can figure something out. Please wait here for a moment.”

As if she didn’t have time to say her words, she turned around and opened the door behind the counter and entered.
The view through the door was the same as the room she had been in this afternoon when she massaged her back.

‘The room is right behind me, but I heard you used a teleport to get there?’

Was it pretty urgent at the time?

I decided to sit down at her checkout counter and wait for her.
There won’t be any customers anyway, but since the shop owner is away, shouldn’t I look after the shop instead?

The sound of bookshelves being turned came from beyond the door.
But the sound was unusual.

The sound of paper shuffling was heard at least 20 times at the same time, and the frequency was very short.

‘Am I reading multiple books at once?’

She’s not surprised anymore.
It’s just amazing.

And after waiting a little longer, I heard the sound of the door opening with a squeaking sound.
There were glasses on her eyes, and they fit pretty well.

“Could you find out something?”

I asked her, but her response was so-so.

“No, I didn’t find anything great.”

She replied with regret.

“But I noticed one difference. About why you felt a sense of heterogeneity in your magi. Your Magi is different from the Magi of other demons and demons.”

“What do you mean different?”

“There is a foreign substance mixed in the magic of other demons. Representatively, it is the spirit used by your race, the incubus and the succubus. The energy absorbed from humans is replaced with demonic energy.”

She said as she took off her glasses.

She looked pretty good with her glasses on too, but looking at it again, she also looked better naked.

“Even if it is not spirit, demons absorb human negative energy such as pain, anger, and despair and replace it with their own demonic energy to increase their strength.”

“Okay.”

But something was strange.
I couldn’t raise Magi’s stats regularly, let alone points.

“That’s why the pure demonic energy you had when you were born as a demon is mixed with the demonic energy of foreign substances acquired for other reasons. And when demons absorb demonic energy, they take the demonic energy mixed with foreign substances rather than pure demonic energy.”

What does that mean?
I listened to her and thought about it.

“Are you saying that I can only have pure demons?”

“Okay.”

She replied with a nod of her head.
Having said that, I could understand why Magi’s stats couldn’t be raised regularly.

“I can’t even get a feel for why. I’m guessing that maybe it’s because he became a demon while still a human.”

“Is that so.”

“It is.”

She replied with a nod of her head, as if it was impossible to find out more about her here.

“Anyway, that spirit stone contains pure demonic energy. What would you like to take?”

She said, pointing to the spirit stone that shimmered her dark aura.

“Hmm… How can I get drunk?”

“You just have to swallow it. Simple.”

She said calmly.
I felt a bit reluctant to just swallow this dark stone, but didn’t the spirits actually just gulp and swallow the spirit stone?

She swallowed the spirit stone.

Fortunately, the spirit stone began to descend slowly down my esophagus.
I felt the demonic energy going downward, and I got a little goosebumps.

“Do you feel something?”

“No…? Not really… Ugh!?”

However, the moment the demonic energy reached the top, a strong energy radiated out toward my whole body.

“Ugh…! Whoops… Oops…! Aww!”

My body tried to vomit to spit out the intruder again, but I forced myself to swallow the vomit.
At the same time, the recoil that swallowed the nausea rose again.

A sharp pain as if a rough thread was being inserted into each of the blood vessels and shook violently.
The muscles that cut off at the same time as giving strength to the body to endure the pain.

“Ugh…!”

As I screamed out in pain, a warm energy permeated my body.
It was her recovery magic.
But as if I couldn’t help it, the pain came over me again.

[Absorbing the demon’s spirit stone. 7.1%]

When I endured the pain and opened my eyes, a notification window appeared in the middle of my field of vision.

“I had to be patient.”

She said, holding my hand as she collapsed on the floor and struggled in her pain.
But that didn’t help anything.

“Turn it off!”

[Absorbing the demon’s spirit stone. 13.1%]

It was still 13%.
I endured the pain as much as I could and struggled.

The more I struggled with the pain, the more the absorption rate went up.
At the same time, the pain became more intense.
The aggravation that started from above started in my heart and sent a new tunnel-piercing pain through my whole body.

After his right arm was hacked to pieces by demonic energy, his left arm.
After the right leg, the left leg.
There was piercing pain all over the body, including the abdomen, pith, neck, and head.

I don’t know how much time has passed.
However, the time I felt due to this pain had already passed 3 hours.

“Kkeuk… Kuh…”

[Absorbing the demon’s spirit stone. 100%]
[Another heart is born!]

Finally, after a long long time, the absorption of the Spirit Stone was over.

I just lost my mind.
