Chapter 1039 – A Person With Many Questions

In any case, the novel stimulation of such a new play was put aside, and the next day, the full-fledged demon hunting began.

It’s a little disappointing, but doing something new that you haven’t tried before is just as good as the novelty, so it just feels that way. You can always do that kind of unconventional play, so let’s skip it for now.

First of all, Hilde had not yet sensed anything about the Gate’s aura. Then, in the end, there is nothing to do except defeat the demon.

But I’m thinking it’s going to be fucking important to figure out the identity of this crazy tombstone I got as a trophy this time.

How long ago did you find this clue?

If you’re lucky, you might be able to find out something about the identities of the unkempt cultists.

In the meantime, these bastards have not been able to control monsters or spread strange heretics around Isvant and plot something, so they are conducting inhuman human experiments to manufacture a kind of undead, while borrowing the power of demons. It has shown many terrible moves over the years.

It seems clear that the lich is on top of them.

Perhaps this tombstone must be a clue to something as it has been seen before. In fact, it’s a little suspicious that these guys who hide their identities so well neglect something important like this.

Anyway, with that thought in mind, I took the tombstone and went to the church and tried to find out about it, but as expected, there was nothing I could find out in the city. No one knew the letters engraved on the tombstone. So, he set out to hunt demons in earnest.

Because demons know best about demons.

Even Hilde doesn’t know, there are no other beings to ask about other than the devils who came over this time.

“Tell me what you know about tombstones!!!”

I’ve been carrying around the tombstone for the past few days, interrogating demons before killing them whenever I encounter them.

“Kwaaaaagh…!”

The High Demon, who was grabbed by the neck of his, struggled and hit my abdomen with his feet of his, but even without armor, such a feeble attack was just tickling. My stomach, which has already reached the level of steel, does not budge from any attack.

“Tell me what that tombstone is!!!”
“I don’t know… ! Keuuuuu!!”

Despite my threats, the High Demon just spewed out the word “I don’t know”, But he never gave me the answer I wanted. These fuckers are a real problem! There is no right way to tell you what to do!!!

“I don’t know if this is the case!!!”

ㅡQuaang!

“Big!!!”

As it was, he grabbed the High Demon by the neck and threw it to the ground, then trampled it with his feet and broke his limbs. Even so, the guy only screamed and didn’t try to reveal anything about the tombstone’s identity.

“I don’t know, I said I don’t know, human!!
“Don’t fuck!! You crazy devil!!!”
“Muh, what are you doing!!”

ㅡ Wood Deuk!!!

Right away, when I grabbed the horn, which was no different from the devil’s pride, and broke it, the guy almost howled and went into a fit.

“Kiyaaaaa!!”
“It’s no use pretending you don’t know!!! If you don’t tell me about the tombstone, you will only die!!”

“Gerrerererererek!!”

High Demon, who was so completely fucked up, tried to bounce his body.

If you still say you don’t know after all this, do you really not know?

“What an asshole!”

ㅡQuaang!!

Seeing as if he really did n’t know, I slammed his fist into his forehead and blew his head off. Now that the power of fusion Confucianism is burning more intensely than ever, there were no demons that could stop me.

“I’m curious-!!!!!”

As soon as I killed him, I crossed my legs and spread my arms wide, slashing at the group of lesser demons I had suppressed in advance.

“I wonder, I wonder, I wonder, I wonder, I wonder!!!! Why am I asking and you can’t give me an answer!!”

I had been interrogated by slaughterering the demons for a few days, but there were no chews who knew about the monument…!

Crazy fury!!!!

“Keuuuuugh…!”
“Mi, I can’t believe it…! A person like that!”
“It’s like looking at Andromalius!”

The subdued group of Lesser Demons were astonished as they uttered such words.

Obviously, when Cloudy and I first saw this tombstone, a high demon, Rakshasha, and a group of other lesser demons stood guard over the tombstone…! It makes no sense that you guys don’t know!!!

“Keeeee!!!!”

ㅡQuaang!

Hitting the ground, I flew towards the Lesser Demons like a missile.

“Quaaaaa!!”
“Kaaaaagh!”
“Keeeee!!!”

When it lands like a meteor, the subdued Lesser Demons are shattered, scattering blood and flesh. Once again, I asked them about the identity of the tombstone, and I didn’t get a satisfactory answer, so I killed all but one.

“Now there’s only one left.”
“Keeeee!!”

Anyway, these cubs really didn’t seem to know anything about tombstones. Then there’s no need to waste time. All you have to do is grab the other guys and ask them again. If you hold on like that, maybe someone you know will eventually come out.

I’m going to beat everyone to death until the bastard you know comes out.

“Please! Human! I’ll do anything to save you!”

The last lesser demon exclaimed urgently, holding out its torn arm his.

“What can I do?”
“Hey, power…!”
“I’m stronger than you, you bastard.”
“Keugh…!”

The last one left has a good answer.

“My demon friend. If you want to live, tell me something that will interest me.”
“This, human interest…! How to achieve wealth, wealth and fame?!”
“It’s done.”

In fact, I have one more question besides the tombstone. That’s why I left one cub for the last time.

“Why didn’t you run away?”
“Escape…?”
“Yeah. Why didn’t you run away after exiting the gate?”
“Run! I tried to run away! But there were too many humans, so I couldn’t run away!”

Okay.
I didn’t receive an order.

“Okay. Skip that. Then where is the gate?”

I kept asking this every time I caught demons for the past few days. But I couldn’t have much fun.

“Crab, I want to find the gate!
“Ha, fuck. Is that so?”
“Yes, yes.”

I’ve been hearing something similar to this over the past few days.

Every time I asked these small devils, these answers came out. At first I thought that a very large and powerful Demon Gate had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and demons were pouring out of it like a tsunami.

But that wasn’t it.

It seems certain that the big gate exists, but these little devils occur sporadically, not the giant gate. That is, they came through a gate that is unstable and appears and then disappears.

Numerous sub-gates intermittently appear and disappear around one main gate.

These demons seize that opportunity and come over.

“Then what is the Great Devil? Did the Great Devil also come over?”
“Great, great devil? I don’t know much about that!”

This is also the answer I have been hearing for days.

“But it’s not difficult to guess… There’s no way the Prime Demons don’t know that Pandaemonium’s demons are moving en masse! If so, they’ll eventually try to interfere somehow!”
“Okay.”

Like this, most of the demons were unaware of the trend of the great demon. It was really useless, and the reason they didn’t escape from this space was because there were too many humans and they were surrounded, so they couldn’t escape.

Pandemonium, so to speak. Until then, the information here was not shared. Most of the demons saw the suddenly created gate and went over to this side without knowing anything.

“The more you go, the more the case falls into the labyrinth.”

Is it a smoke screen of something?

In fact, even if the general is deploying some grand tactics, the lower-level soldiers under him just follow orders without knowing anything. This is also similar. A being with a purpose opened the gate, and the rest is just incidental.

“Well, then you’ll save me…?”
“This bastard.”

—-That’s it!

I immediately pierced the guy’s stomach with a Vigal.

“Speak like that only after you’ve spit out useful information.”
“Kuhhh…!”

If you like it, there is a chance that you will be saved.

—Churureuk.

Soon, the completely melted Lesser Demon’s corpse turned into black blood. I cut the corpses of some demons that were still in shape with my bugal and absorbed their power.

ㅡStupid.

Bugal was smoothly absorbing the bodily fluids of demons. But should I say it’s a kind of experience, or maybe it’s because I’m only killing dicks, so there hasn’t been much change.

“It’s bad again.”

As I sat down on the rock, Cloudy came over and sat down next to me.

“What the hell is it? Do only a small percentage of demons know about tombstones?”
“I really think so.”

Maybe the tombstone was just there, and the demons came to see what was there.

Although the evidence of the pagans he had seen again in a few years was in front of his eyes, digging up information about them was more difficult than he imagined.

I have told the paladins and knights to let me know if they find a similar tombstone, but to be honest, I can’t expect it.

“In the first place, there are very few bastards who know anything about the Gate or the Great Devil… After all, the only way to find out about that is to go to the Main Gate, where it might be.”

That’s why I thought I’d be able to find out something by interrogating the High Demons that appeared in the early days. But you can’t cover it all. All the guys I’ve caught so far have come from sporadic sub-gates.

All those guys tried to run away, but they were already surrounded and couldn’t escape easily.

However, the first ones appearing are different.

I knew the location of the main gate, and I defended this area with some purpose. The guerrilla warfare was probably intended to slow the advance of the humans. Could it be that the goal has already been accomplished and destroyed? There is nothing to know.

“Kat. Don’t worry. You’ll find out soon. You’re killing demons this hard, right? That will allow others to explore the area more quickly. Then you’ll be able to reach the main gate eventually, right ?”

Cloudy seemed to be trying to comfort me, so he said that in his usual soft tone.

“That too.”

Whatever it is, if you reduce the number of demons, the siege will naturally narrow, and you will be able to find the main gate. All I can do now is intermittent exploration and demon hunting. And I’m just asking about the tombstone.

“Then shall we go again?”
“Uh, yes. What are you going to do after taking a break? Go and catch the devil.”

ㅡSuuk.

He immediately pulled out the tombstone, put it on his shoulder his, and moved again.

However, this area was also eroded due to the effect of the sub-gate that appeared, and the ground was polluted. I want the paladins who will come this way to take care of this.

*           *

Of course, in the meantime, I entrusted Lisha with research on the tombstone. It is carried around and shown to demons and used for interrogation, but once in a while, ask Risha to analyze it to explore the identity of the tombstone.

“This is my original guess, but maybe this is.”

Risha said that she had finally figured out something.

“It could be an object that has already used up all its charged power. To put it simply, it was a tombstone that was used as some kind of energy source, but now it seems that its usefulness has been exhausted and only the shell remains.”
“It’s a shell.”

If so, has it already been used and discarded?

Wasn’t the tombstone in the Kobold Dungeon like that too? Oh no. Apparently, it radiated light and collapsed the ground while we were examining it.

“I’ve tried reaction experiments using various forces, but the tombstone is only scratched. And I can’t feel any kind of energy.”

That’s why I assumed it was an empty shell.

There is a point.

“Oh… That makes sense.”

As Risha said, she was used as an energy source for some purpose, then was useless and left unattended.

Maybe the guy related to this tombstone was stopped by me when he ordered the demons to destroy the useless tombstone.

“Isn’t it too common to store energy in something and then use it for a special purpose? Maybe this tombstone was used for that purpose and was abandoned.”

Is it like a battery?

Anyway, we’ll have to find out who the hell used this tombstone.
