Chapter 442 – Devilish Guys

ㅡPerbuck!
ㅡPuck! Puck!
ㅡ Puck puck puck!

Those of us who couldn’t relieve our anger even after chewing the High Imps beat and kicked his corpse and tore it into pieces. Every time the mace was struck, black blood and smoke splattered, and intestines and bone fragments shattered every time the blade rushed.

Originally a high imp, it is now nothing but black ooze.

As overwhelming violence swept the scene, what remained was a black puddle.

“It’s completely annihilated, saint!”
“Yes! It’s completely liquid! It’s Demon Juice!”

Elise, who had done such a ferocious thing, looked extremely refreshed. No, beyond refreshing, it’s almost touching.

Elise looked up at the sky with her eyes shining.

“Hooray! Hooray! Saints and I joined forces to defeat a demon for the first time! What a joy!”
“It’s the birth of a church guardian!!”

Elise and I, overflowing with joy, trampled the High Imp’s puddle at random and danced for a long time while holding her hand her.

ㅡ Dung-sil-deung-sil!

“Unlike the Imps, the High Imps are evil beings that belong to the Demon Species! Killing such beings is a great achievement! It’s the first time I’ve even defeated a Demon Species!”
“Such…! For us to do such a thing! Awesome!”

Elise exclaimed excitedly, raising her voice.

After hearing the story, the high imp is a monster that belongs to the demon species, and Elise said that it was the first time she had defeated such a demon species.

As a nun of the Holy Cross of Gwangmyeong, she would certainly be happy.

She will come as a great achievement for Elise.

Of course it was me too, damn it! I can’t believe I’m killing the devil! Ah, Amchang, I’m so happy that my emotions are overflowing!

“I’m hemp, Kimkat!”
“I am Demon Slayer Elise!”
“Dejaaaaa!!”
“Whoops, whoops!!”

After dancing, we finally found a place nearby and had a break while basking in the sunlight. I was hungry because I had killed the demon.

I immediately took out the food I had brought and filled my stomach.

“There are few days as happy as today, saints! I’m sure other members of the church will praise our achievements as well!”
Hehe, you killed the devil!”
“Even the Lord of Order must have been overjoyed while looking down on us!

Elise’s excitement showed no signs of calming down. But that’s me too! Now Kim Katt has surpassed even the devil!

To the true Heavenly Demon, Kim Katt, the devil was nothing more than a child’s joke. The dogs of the dogs were not my opponents from the beginning.

“As expected, only good things happen if you are with the saints!”
“Me too, Elise! I’m so happy!”

I finished my meal with a smile on my face.

After eating, we looked around again.

Hehe, yes. Killing a demon. You’ve done a great job. But what about this?”

Then, I discovered something.

“There seems to be something inside.”

Something shiny was missing in the dark puddle. Ellie also showed curiosity. Right away, I picked up a suitable twig and pulled it up, revealing its shape.

“Bracelet?”

It was a dark-colored bracelet embossed with a strange pattern. Was the high imp wearing something like this? I had no idea he was wearing anything like this because he was so intent on killing and destroying.

Anyway, two such bracelets came out.

“Devil’s ornament…! It’s embossed like a cursed language!”

Elise was started.

“Damn it! You bastards!”

I immediately poured water over the bracelet to wash off the dark ooze and rolled it on the grass to remove any residue. The devil’s trinket… It smelled like money. Specifically, if you show it to Risha-sama, you’ll understand.

Still, if you get something like this, the good thing is money.

“I want to destroy it right now! I can feel the most evil energy!”

Elise yelled maniacally as she pointed at her bracelet lying on her floor her. It felt like scolding and scolding the bracelet.

“But it must not be destroyed.”

It’s hard to break this down though.

“Yes! Because I have to take it to the church and analyze it!”
“It’s just two, so let’s share one!”
“The spoils of the holy war! Proof of the demon’s destruction!”

I took off my cloak and carefully picked up the bracelet. I don’t feel any special aura. But. I’ve touched a lot of evil stuff already.

I don’t think the stuff that this fucking high imp was wearing was anything special.

“However, Saint Saint, you should be careful when handling it. Of course, I believe in Saint Saint, but we still don’t know what kind of effect demons’ things will have.”
Hehe, don’t worry. It’s something the guy who fell into our hands had in the first place. There shouldn’t be much problem. But I’ll be careful.”

Biro and Elise shared one by one and put them inside the backpack.

So let’s start our investigation again. Tortured and questioned by the High Imps is thought to be the most effective method, but Elise explained that talking to demons is extremely dangerous.

It is said that the church gives such guidelines, so it is a reliable story. It could actually be dangerous.

However, if it’s a really tough devil, I don’t think the dickhead demons can curse us or seduce us.

“But Elise. Why the hell was the High Imp here?”
“Hmm… That’s my question as well. Actually, there isn’t much information about these types of demons. Other imps may have grown, or in the worst case, they may have crossed the gate.”

It seems to be an unknown story at the moment.

“We still lack information. Saints. It could be dangerous…”
“There is nothing dangerous when there are two of us as divine friends.”
“Whoops. That’s right. You’re right! Devyin!!”
“F–Rend eugh!!!”

ㅡKeeeee!!!

We sprinted to find the imps again.

There must have been a reason why a bastard like the High Imp appeared.

And I don’t think there will be just one.

There’s a good chance there will be other guys.

Still, it cannot be confirmed that the Demon Gate has been opened. Since there were so many imps, it is possible that one of them became like that. Lack of information and evidence.

“But, Elise. Wouldn’t it be okay to just catch one, cut off its arms and legs, and dig up information? I think that would be more efficient than simply conducting an investigation.”
“Of course I know that’s the most reasonable way.”

It seems that you already know

“Still, communication with demons is extremely dangerous. The tricks demons use to corrupt human beings are their three tongues and magical illusions. They use them to create irresistible temptations. That’s why demons Interrogation is an unreasonable means.”

Elise explained again.

“There is no guarantee that even what the demons say will be true. No amount of torture can be accepted as definitive information.”

Doctrine of the Holy Cross of Light.

And the doctrine of fusion Confucianism.

These are absolute beliefs and beliefs that cannot be invaded by anything. The probability of the demons sneaking in there converges to zero.

Surely all the demons will say is bullshit, but it would be nice to interrogate them anyway.

“Elysee. Even if he it’s a devil, he won’t be able to seduce us who are united with firm faith and strong mental power.”
“That is also true.”

At those words, Elise pondered for a moment before opening her mouth.

“Hmm… Then I think it’s okay to interrogate once after securing as much safety as possible. It’s something you shouldn’t do, but if it’s a special situation like now, it’s okay to try it at least once.”
“Well, there’s no need to do it if it’s not possible. There are many ways other than torture and interrogation. You can’t violate the doctrine.”

Still, if it was against Eligene’s doctrine, I had no intention of doing anything.

When I conveyed that meaning, Elise replied.

“I said it too categorically. From the doctrinal point of view of the Church of the Light and Star, communicating with the devil is more of an absolute recommendation not to, rather than a taboo.”
“Ah. So you’re saying it’s not really against the doctrine?”
“That’s right. It’s okay if you don’t worry about that part.”

I’m glad that’s the case.

Before summarily executing the demons, let’s do a brief torture interrogation.

It is not a sin to torture the devil.

Rather, it is a good deed, a service, and a good thing that is recommended.

Hehe, you thought I was going to break the doctrine again, didn’t you? No, since this is a different religion, the doctrine can also be different.”
“It’s okay. Of course it’s possible. Fufu, to think that you’re worried about that much, as expected, the saints are truly considerate.”
“Chuckling! I’m kind of like that!”

After all, Elise is reasonable.

Anyway, as we investigated the forest again, we smashed all the imps we encountered. As for the high imp, they had already established a strategy by encountering it once. If we meet again, I think we will be able to conquer them faster.

However, the High Imp did not reappear.

Actually, it wouldn’t be a common monster.

Since it is a monster that is recognized as a demon species by the Church, it is unlikely that you will be able to see it easily anywhere.

ㅡKreureuk! Kong!
ㅡKyung!

Instead, what greeted us were the Hellhounds. You bastards, like black Tosa dogs. This is also a monster that I encountered in the Ossuary Palace along with the imps.

“Hellhound… Imp, High Imp. And Hellhound. Even if it’s not Demongate, it seems certain that something suspicious and sinister is happening.”
“I think so too.”

As we were sharing such opinions, the hellhounds attacked without fear.

ㅡ kong!

Of course, it’s just laughable. Because they are not our opponents.

“You fucking boshintang bastard!”

I lightly aimed my sword and skewered the attacker, and Elise shattered their skulls with a precise, timely swing of her mace.

ㅡKheung!

“You evil fierce dog!”

Each attack kills one. Not really honest. Of course, the link between the attacks didn’t even take a second.

It really took less than a minute to slaughter a monster as low as our level.

Time goes by just like that.

Our income until late afternoon was the corpses of miscellaneous monsters and the slaughter of imps. And there was only the killing of the High Imp and his two bracelets.

Once you have a bracelet, it is quite a big income.

“Let’s go back to this for today. It was a decent income.”
“It was a very satisfying day. To punish demons!”
Hehe, is it still that good?”
“Of course! Because it is truly a great achievement!”
“Yes, yes. Me too.”

So, we went back to the city as usual, sold japtem, promised to meet early tomorrow morning, and parted ways.

It seems that the investigation with Elise will take a little longer.

*  *  *

The next day too, she and Elise went out of the city gate early in the morning.

Yesterday, as soon as I went back, I handed over her bracelet to Mr. Lisha, who was very interested and said that he would investigate her. Winia was a bit uneasy, but she reassured me by her rant that I should not worry and do the research.

“Okay, Elise. Today is the start of the search.”
“All right!”

Third day of investigation.

Yesterday’s defeat of the high imp gave me a lot of motivation, but there was no particular income. It just reduced the number of imps.

But it didn’t disappoint.

Because there have been significant results.

The evil imps are being slaughtered in droves. That alone was good.

Well, it was a repetition of this.

After researching with Elise from morning to night, she goes back and spends a good time with her wives and comes out again. As soon as she comes out, she goes into the forest and massacres the imps.

I couldn’t find anything like gates or heretics either.

Was the imp crisis just an accident? It seemed that such a conclusion would be reached, but today we went into the woods to establish justice in this world.
