Chapter 479 – Killing Demons

“Some people call me that. Nice to meet you.”

He immediately smiled and shook his hand. He also smiled and took my hand and shook it. It seems that my face is quite sold among the Istvant religionists.

It was such an impactful speech.

I also got Rosario.

“It’s such an honor to see you again. It was quite a refreshing shock to see the groundbreaking punishment of the heretics at the time.”
“Cultists need to die for their sins.”
“That’s it. That’s right.”

I had a brief conversation with him about this and that and the cultists. As I was talking about that, naturally, the story that I had come to search for the devil also came out.

“As expected, the Holy Son came out to hunt demons for the well-being of mankind. I thought that would be the case even before talking to him.”
Hehe. Of course, I can’t leave things like this.”
“Hmm… In that case.”

ㅡ It’s okay.

The priest took out a map from his bosom and showed it to me.

“Can I ask you a favor?”
“You mean please?”
“Here, look at this part.”

He pointed his finger toward the gates of Isvant marked on the map.

“Currently, the paladins and lord’s troops are searching from here to this side. So there is a relatively empty state on this side. It happened because there were not enough troops to surround the entire area.”

He began to explain to me the route of the Paladins and Soldiers’ march step by step.

Listening to what you say roughly, it seems that there is a void in the search area because there are not enough troops to spread the Chunrajimang, so he wants to ask me for that part.

“It would be of great help if the Holy Son searched this way. Would it be all right if I asked you a favor?”

I thought it was bullshit because it was a request out of the blue, but this was an opportunity.

There was no way demons would remain on the route the Paladins and soldiers were advancing. Paladins, in particular, are monsters who are good at catching and killing demons. In the yard where I also chewed up the high imp, if it was a paladin, it would have been more, nothing less.

Not only those troops, but also adventurers would have jumped on it. Population is saturated In that case, it would be better to aim for the part with relatively few troops.

In this situation, if you want to pick up the beans, you have to take advantage of that opportunity.

After all, the purpose of this work is to punish the demons, collect the evidence, and take it to the church.

“Oh, to tell me such valuable information. Thank you very much. But is it okay if I tell you something like this?”
“The saint is a trustworthy person, so I said this specially. In fact, he’s been thinking about it since last night, and it turned out well. This must also be Verde-sama’s guidance.”
“Then we will help you. Rest assured. I don’t know if it will work, but we can go this way today.”
“Thank you for your dedication. Here, it will help if you take this with you.”

The priest who bowed to me took out two glass bottles from a pouch attached to his waistband and handed them to me.

“It is holy water. It has excellent efficacy in defeating evil beings. I hope you use it well.”

No, you’re getting holy water here again?

Also, religious people are all good.

He is showing favor because he trusts me, who participated in the Crusade together and achieved achievements to the point of being called a saint.

The string that led to religious people and justice gave me benefits like this. As much as I lived kindly, people like this and that help me.

“Aigoo. You don’t have to bow down on this. Thank you very much. I will definitely use this holy water to slay demons.”
“Please. I just want to subdue the demons as soon as possible. The saint will surely be able to do that.”
“Don’t worry. I will kill the demons even if my body is broken.”

After the greeting, the priest immediately went to talk with the other paladins. As soon as I left the city gate, I received information and holy water.

Things are going well.

“I can’t believe a bastard is a celebrity. Well, no one can forget that back then. Cuckoo. That’s a thing of the past.”
“Huhuhu, then shall we go, saint?”

Winia laughed and Claudy stood me up. Could this be a kind of prestige? Although there is strength in the shoulders, the fact that there are many people recognizing it suggests that the probability of being exposed to threats may increase.

Hehe, then let’s go.”

Let’s be a little more careful in the future.

Before leaving, I took out the map I had put in my pouch and simply checked the location.

“I think things are going to go well today. Cloudy, Winia. It seems that there is a little shortage of troops around here today. We should go this way.”

After checking the direction right away, we set off with them.

Armament was unparalleled. Three bottles of holy water and one paladin’s dagger. Holy water would be useful.

As we entered the forest, we encountered other adventurers and found a line of soldiers, but the deeper we went, the less popular they were.

The atmosphere around them was as vicious as if a demon would appear at a glance. It felt like there were evil beings lurking between the dark bushes and under the trees.

This is a story I heard somewhere, but because demons are so evil from the beginning, if their number gathers, it is said that the surrounding environment will also be affected. It seems that there was also a record of monsters falling into a berserk state.

In any case, it was not difficult to find the way or set the direction because he had visited all the surrounding areas to subdue Elise and the imp. Rather, it was just eye-opening. We crossed the forest very smoothly.

As I walked like that, it was already noon.

I walked all morning, but I didn’t get anything to do with it.

I searched the area, but found no sign of the demon. All I found was a few small monsters attacking me. Originally, the search was like that.

“Shall we eat first?”
“Yes. Then.”
“Go, bastard, get some kindling.”

Whatever it is, if it’s meal time, you have to eat and move. As soon as I brought the kindling, Winia started the fire skillfully. She and she took groceries out of her backpack her.

Eating salted sausages over an open fire is always a great satisfaction. Eating it with cheese and beef jerky made me feel good. I did not forget to replenish nutrients with dried fruits.

After we finished our meal that way, we headed deeper.

The whole time he moved, he looked carefully in all directions. In the meantime, a little unusual footprint came into my eyes. It was a footprint I had never seen before, and it was judged that it hadn’t been long.

It was right in front of me.

“Claudi. Winia. Look at this.”
“Footprint?”

Two women checked the footprints.

“Winia. Do you know what kind of footprint it is? First of all, I think it’s the first footprint I’ve ever seen.”

Living as an adventurer, I saw a lot of footprints of monsters. If you look at it roughly, you will get an estimate of what kind of monster it is, but this trace was a little unusual.

“Ummm… What is this? It looks like a bastard by the size of its feet, but it’s not an orc or a troll. Does your sister have any idea?”
“Well? I don’t know all the monsters here. But it seems to be a rather big guy. His claws his look strong… Could it be the traces of a demon?”

You’ll have to wait and see if it’s a sign of the devil.

“Let’s go after it.”

Following the footprints immediately, it was also identified that footprints of the same size were crowded together.

I remembered what the brass star knight had explained. Lesser Demons said they had a habit of gathering. Considering the never-before-seen type of footprints and this crowded-looking number, it is doubtful enough.

Vigilance and excitement were raised to the highest level.
There may be some guys nearby.

“Whoa… Devils. Devils. Beings from hell… I’m looking forward to it. It feels like my blood is boiling.”

Cloudy was half a cat. The energy of wanting to take the blood of the demons as soon as possible was full of energy.

“Your sister is just like a bastard.”
“Couples tend to look alike.”

I continued to track my footprints.

Sometimes they came together, sometimes they scattered. It starts to feel like a battle is about to happen. If the demons had heads, they would have moved while avoiding the Paladins.

ㅡ Whiyuyuyu.

In an instant, the wind blows.

“Hmm? This is a strange sign.”

Cloudy, who seemed to have sensed something, took a posture. If she has caught something, she has nothing more to look at. She immediately stood guarding Winia and pointed her sword forward.

ㅡSlowly.

At the same time, the bushes swayed.

ㅡ Eagle Eagle.

Then, from behind the tree, I saw a large, pitch-black being observing us with red eyes blazing.

—Black aura that landed around.

Just looking at it, it was a fucking demon!

“…The humans here are too violent.”

As I was about to attack him immediately, a cold voice suddenly sounded.

“Have you spoken?”

Winia, her eyes wide open, spoke in surprise, and Cloudy pricked up her ears as if interested.

Even if you don’t know what it is, the fact that you’re trying to start a conversation is proof that you’re not confident in fighting.

I slowly moved towards him, wary of my surroundings. It wouldn’t hurt to interrogate him after cutting him limbs. It’s an easy thing to do with Cloudy.

“Kat. Wait. I want to hear what you have to say.”
“…Okay.”

Apparently, Cloudy wanted to hear his will her.

I nodded and stopped walking.

“You who came to us.”

The devil opened his mouth again.
The voice was quite heavy and serious.

—Sararak.

“Do you have any intention of resolving it peacefully?”

Appearing from behind the tree, it was a monster that was a dog or a demon itself.

The black skin and dried up muscles were grotesque, and the face looked as if only the skin was barely attached to the skeleton of a horse.

It was to the point where I wondered how badly I had to eat when I was young to grow up like that. Is Hell such a harsh place? Maybe that’s why they want to come over to the human world.

ㅡ Miracles, miracles.

In any case, the Lesser Demon on the head of the horse crawled out miraculously using its four slender legs that were quite long for its body.

“…It looks creepy.”

It was Winia’s evaluation of her.
The guy is literally creepy looking.

Walking on four legs was not a normal quadrupedal beast, but it looked like an evil serial killer pretending to be a monster and walking on quadrupeds while deliberately risking pain to punish the victims he kidnapped.

—-In every single step, grumpiness and viciousness melted into it.

There’s no way a guy like that would want peace. All they want is blood and violence. And nothing but genocide and imperialism.

“Are you a demon from Pandaemonium?”

I asked the devil as I pointed my knife.

He said he wanted to hear what Cloudy had to say. If that’s the case, he’d just have to listen to a few words, throw holy water, and sever it with the Chief Slash.

“I can’t answer that.”

The demon said coldly, radiating red-hot eyes.

“Then you should die, you skinny, four-legged bastard. What on earth did you come to the human world to pick up and eat! Answer me, devil!”

Lesser Demon, who was silent for a while at my work, opened his mouth heavily.

“Human, you seem to want violence. But, even if you kill me, nothing will be gained.”
“What?”
“I know that you humans are receiving some kind of compensation for killing us. There will be nothing to be gained by killing me. So, I make a proposal, and I express my desire to make a peaceful deal with you humans. “
“Hey, what bullshit is this?”

I was quite surprised by the horse-headed calf, who spoke quite fluently and gracefully. Come to think of it, Hildegard also spoke very well. Demons from similar places are likely to have similar intellects.

“Fuck you bastard!!!!”

This baby dare!
