Chapter 128 – -127- The Approaching Threat (2)
Darting through the trees, I approached the warriors stealthily.
It was to carry out the reconnaissance mission given to me by my mother.
Saying, ‘My child, go and observe their movements’, Mother blessed me with a powerful demon.
“[My child]… Ha, I want to get a name soon…”
Mother hasn’t given us names yet.
A name defines existence. Therefore, I felt that those of us who had not yet been given names were as good as those who had not yet been born.
To me who was sorry, my mother told me. The day you will receive your name, she said, will be after the original warriors have disappeared.
“…Don’t like it”
The value of any commodity was in proportion to its rarity.
The existence of an original copy of equal value that looked the same as myself caused unbearable displeasure in itself.
A feeling of loss, as if one’s value was reduced by half.
To be the only one of hers, she had to die.
“The continent’s best merchant…”
I heard that my original hero is a slave trader who is a slave of money.
“Hmm, sure…You seem to have great business skills.”
Her mother’s power made me equal to her and her [Her equal worth].
Her natural gift for commerce seemed to me replaced by a strong body.
Just by frowning, a powerful demonic energy that would cause the surrounding monsters to cringe ran through his body.
Controlling the demonic energy that flowed through my body, I approached their lodgings step by step, maintaining stealth.
After approaching through the darkness, I was able to reach right in front of their camp.
The two warriors were taking turns standing guard, but the tension seemed thin.
‘Have your eyes been blurred by repeated victories… Tsk’
While refining his mind, he captured the magic inside his body for a secret approach and refined it more elaborately.
If you weren’t right next to me, I suppressed my demonic energy to the point where I couldn’t even feel it. Considering that this place is a land full of demons, it was so elaborately hidden that it was undetectable.
‘Then let’s go’
In the dark dawn, when even the starlight was covered with dark demonic air, I was able to enter the warriors’ quarters under the cover of night.
All kinds of artifacts and security devices that detect demons couldn’t stop my prepared invasion.
Seeing that there was no change even after a long time passed, I was sure that no one had noticed.
‘It’s a simple search that my mother ordered… But with this level of vigilance, can I aim to expand my criminal record?’
The warriors’ vigilance was weaker than expected, so I was able to infiltrate the heart of the enemy camp without being noticed by anyone.
If so, wouldn’t it be polite to pierce the heart once?
“If you’re lucky… You might go back and get a name.”
In the early morning when everyone is asleep, chewing and crushing the neck of one weak merchant would not be a problem.
The head of Rois, the head of a drunken merchant, would be a good present to return to her mother.
I, chasing ‘my own style’, moved my steps into the inn.
***
I was going through repeated failures.
“…That’s strange.”
The demonic energy that had been condensed according to the gesture did not take shape. The hair that was used as a medium is crumbled and scattered as dust.
“What do you mean?”
“That’s… The authority doesn’t work for the arrogant human male who harmed my people.”
All the other heroes were cloned into my family, but my authority didn’t work on Leon Sodus, the only male among the human heroes.
“Um…Isn’t the medium contaminated?”
“Maybe so. But it feels like a very lazy explanation that so many media are all contaminated.”
I let out a sigh and blew the damaged medium out of the window.
“Don’t be too heartbroken, mother. Isn’t it worth too little to make you a household member?”
“That’s right. That human male might not even be qualified to be a member of the mother’s household!”
“Maybe…”
“My mother was extraordinarily wary of this man, but from what I’ve seen he seems to have earned a place he deserves thanks to Bella Sodus”
“Thanks to my mother, I might have usurped the position of an unsuitable warrior!”
Certainly, the family he created through his mother, Bella, was very good. It was because he handled Magi freely with a skill that was several times greater than that of the other children.
‘As far as the skill of handling Magi, it’s excellent enough to be on par with me…’
Of the people who raided the seven cities, only the individual sent to Jarfurt did not return alive.
At that time, I was wary of this man… But it may have been an illusion.
‘Was it all the skill of Bella Sodus that killed the people at that time…’
Your previous judgment may have been wrong. Perhaps, Leon Souders could have been the idiot who got ahead by grabbing the hem of his mother’s skirt.
‘Well, there’s no way I’m going to get rid of the crooks or the ones I like…’
As expected, I was convinced that the loss of my followers in Jarfurt was the result of Bella Soders’ magic, which I had underestimated at the time.
‘…Still, lingering feelings remain, what kind of power is the spirit? I wanted to see it myself.” I continued to use my mana, feeling regretful, but it was meaningless.
“Don’t be too heartbroken, mother.”
“That’s right! We are there, right? Isn’t it enough without a male like that?”
As if comforting me when I was gloomy in front of a broken medium again, the child whose existence itself was an insult to the heinous Lumina and the child who inherited the noble lineage of the desert gave me comfort.
‘…Should I give up on making this man a follower?’
The completeness of the tragedy will be a little off, but well…Even if one of the heroes is missing, there won’t be a big difference in power.
“If you really feel sorry for your mother, how about converting that man?”
From beyond the door, a replica of Bella Souders walked past, her golden horns shining.
The advice given by the clone of the hero who became his mother gave me a very fresh shock.
“Huh?” It was an unexpected perspective.
“If you can’t replicate as a follower, shouldn’t you just make this man your follower?”
“…That makes sense”
“Since I have the same physical body as his mother, I can easily form an attachment if I destroy my mind through appropriate torture and placation.”
“Wouldn’t it be okay to defeat him as a human and make him the vanguard to destroy humanity?” My children agreed, giggling and fussing, as if they were having fun just imagining it.
Certainly, in that way… I could have completed my idea of turning all hopes of mankind into despair.
With evil smiles, the three members of the family spoke to me.
“Everything, just as Mother wants…”
Seeing them like that made me smile.
He created not one, not two, but eight members of his own family who could become a terrible disaster on the continent alone.
The possibility of defeat was only fading away.
Can the ragtag warriors and the like fight against my retinue, who have been strengthened by demonic energy?
“Come to think of it, I think it’s time to come back…”
The family he sent for reconnaissance was about to return.
I decided to wait for her, showing her leeway of her strength.
***
It was a very strange experience for her to pursue her own style.
With a sense sharp enough to use my sense of smell as sight, I traced the traces of ‘Royce’.
From hallway to hallway, careful not to touch his heels, he sneaked into the dorm like smoke.
“…What is this smell…?”
A different scent gradually begins to mix with her scent.
Each time I approached her, the scent of her something drowsy and dreamy was added.
‘Could it be that it’s a security device using incense…?’
I wondered if it was an unknown poison, so I raised my guard and checked my body using demonic energy, but I didn’t feel anything special.
If it was a drug, I would have been able to resist it naturally… But this wasn’t like that.
‘It just smells good naturally…?’
Well, it occurred to her that if it was her own quarters, it might have been decorated to make her feel comfortable.
The tension was released. What, is it perfume or something?
“…It’s very strange… It’s a pleasant scent…?”
It felt like I had discovered my taste that I didn’t know.
“In addition to the information about the warriors before I kill them, I should ask what kind of scent this is.”
Depending on the sincerity of her answer, the way she will die will be different. If you die after spitting out enough satisfying information, well. I can show the level of mercy that snaps her neck in an instant.
Along with the incense that gradually thickened, a strange cry was heard.
“…Kkk♥ Suck♥ Haa…♥”
“…What is this sound…?”
As if suffering from a severe fever, the sound of heavy breathing and the smell of sweat came through.
“It hurts, is it…?”
If the target is sick, there won’t be such a good opportunity for an assassination.
‘Now…Wait!’
At that time, when she tried to approach her, I heard her thick voice and became as frozen as her.
‘There are two heroes in the room…?’
“Can you pull out that much semen? Shake your waist harder.”
A clicking sound was heard, and a crackling sound began to emerge.
After figuring out the identity of the sound, I relaxed a little.
“…Haa, that’s pathetic…”
Two warriors, no… Can I call them heroes?
If these things are me and Maou-sama’s antagonist, I’m so exhausted…
As vulnerable as they were in their sleep, the two human races mingled naked.
“Huh ♥ Juin-nim… ♥ Me… ♥ Jugeo…♥ Bitch pussy… ♥ Gibbon Joe, so I’m juggling it… ♥”
Upper Lord Royce, sprawled out and held by the leash, was vulgarly delighted with his ears dropping.
Hatred is added. To make such a vulgar act with the same face as me. Originally, the existence itself was unpleasant, but now it feels like a disgusting parasite that needs to be eliminated as soon as possible.
I raised my nails, sharpened my magi, kicked through the door, and charged at them.
The man flinched as if he had sensed something, but the woman who was absorbed in the pleasures of love only spat out a stupid sound.
“Die!” Imagining the scene of their necks falling at the same time, I swung my arms wide in a sharp trajectory.
“Kyaaak…! What is this…!” The upper state wrapped his head around him, and he couldn’t even resist.
‘At this rate, two heroes at once…!’ My ecstasy vanished as soon as I heard his voice.
“Sit down!”
“Kekeng!”
It was extremely difficult to retrieve the arm that had been swung with full force. I twisted the trajectory, landed on the floor in a mess, retrieved the arm I was barely swinging, and prostrated myself in front of him in a respectful posture.
Like a dog!
I was terribly perplexed and asked myself.
‘What is this…! What happened?’
I couldn’t understand the emotions that came before the panic. Guilty. I felt guilty for nearly harming his body.
The emotion that followed was joy. The joy of being able to obey his orders.
The emotions I couldn’t even figure out were confusing, but the intensity confused me even more.
I’ve never felt so intense when following my mother’s orders…
“Why, why… Did you listen to what this man said?”
When I came back to my senses, I tried to get away from him. The moment I was about to hit my feet, he ordered me.
“Oh, where are you going?Wait!“
“What’s wrong?!”
I couldn’t escape. My feet didn’t move as if they were frozen.
The man put his hand on my horn with a fishy smile.
“I have to run, I have to go… Ah… ♥”
Even the moment the horns were taken, I obeyed his order to wait.
