## Chapter 513 – Quasi-Priest Kim Kat

Anyway, from the next day, Risha seemed ready to start some serious work.

She told the store she’d be taking a few days off, and we went to the black magic shop together, gathering various materials and tools, which we moved to the house.

Then, she said she wanted to build a simple lab table in the basement, so I took on that task as well.

By the time I finished, it was already noon.

After eating at home, Risha moved the birdcage containing the nearly-dead Vugal to the basement. Claudie and Winia, curious, followed Risha.

“Hic… Hic…! This is!! Unbelievable!!! I will curse you! In the name of Vugal, the demon of the sword, I will destroy you humans!!!!”

Vugal just kept wailing. No, he kept wailing and then seemed to have completely given up on life, throwing away all pretense and cursing.

It seems that when death approaches, demons and humans are not so different. Well, the world is the same everywhere.

“Hehehe, what destruction are you talking about in that cage, you little shit. Just accept it humbly. Think about the sins you’ve committed.”

Now he would suffer a fate worse than death.

From the start, I had no intention of being considerate to him. Demons are beings that are praised for being used and discarded as one pleases.

This bastard just ran into the wrong person.

Now, only a miserable destruction where he’s sucked dry to the marrow awaits.

“You!!! I will definitely!!!! Definitely destroy you!!!!!!”
“Kuaaaaaaack!!! I’ve been destroyed by Vugal!!!!!!!!!!”

Vugal’s bulging eyes and spitting were quite amusing, so I played along, pretending to be shot. I writhed and screamed exaggeratedly.

“Gyara rara rara gra rara raak!!!!!!!!”

Then Vugal spewed out incomprehensible words, convulsing. I was trying to give this bastard a good memory for his final journey, but he’s just being a pain.

These ungrateful bastards should just be hammered to death.

“This bastard’s a pain even when I play with him?”
“Kat, you’re so cruel. Cool.”
“Right? Claudie, come here.”

Claudie watched me playing with Vugal with a pleased expression and hugged me. Burying my face in her cleavage made everything seem alright.

“Gyara rara rara raak!!!!”
“Shut up. Can’t you be quiet?”

Winia banged on the cage with the wand she received from the Brass Celestial Angel, silencing him. Originally, Winia was the type who liked to torment people a bit. She pounded the cage like she was tenderizing pork cutlets.

Anyway, I plan to visit the guild or church in a few days.

The matter of the demon sword was bound to be sensitive. So, there’s not much time. I’ll leave it to Risha for two or three days, and if there’s no progress, I’ll go to the church to return Vugal.

If the church is sensitive to demon-related matters, they’ll soon catch wind of rumors about a demon sword being discovered in a remote village. Ideally, I should bring it to them before they hear the rumors. If they say anything to me about capturing a demon, I can just claim that I interrogated him first as a quasi-priest.

Either way, it’s a win-win situation.

“Hehehe, stop tormenting him. It’s time to start.”

Risha smiled and moved the cage.

She seemed quite excited about starting the experiment. Whatever it is, Vugal has brought laughter to our home.

“I’m thinking of doing a few experiments first.”
“Experiments, huh.”

ㅡTtaak.

Risha snapped her fingers, and a black aura surged, forming the shape of a hand. The hand gently opened the cage and violently dragged out Vugal, who was terrified inside.

“Gyaaaaaaak!!”
“Be quiet. Aren’t you being noisy?”

The black hand slammed Vugal onto the workbench and transformed into chains, binding his limbs. Then, the black aura peeled off the surface of the chains like paint.

ㅡClang.

What remained were real iron chains.

What the hell is this scary magic.

“Ri, Risha-unni? What is this magic?”
“It’s a type of black magic. Of course, only I can use it to this extent.”
“I, I see…”

Judging by Winia’s reaction, it seems to be a unique magic. Anyway, Risha coldly said to the bound Vugal.

“Now, you said your true form is that of a sword? Transform at once.”
“Shut up! Having resigned myself to death, I will never yield!”
“Haven’t you been yielding all along? Don’t make me bother. Giving you pain is nothing.”

Suddenly, a black needle appeared at the tip of Risha’s finger.

“ShiㅡGeheeeek?!?!?!?!”

She skillfully stabbed the needle into Vugal’s head, who was convulsing. As soon as the needle went into his head, Vugal spewed blood foam and became docile.

“Risha-yang? Is that also black magic?”

Claudie asked, seemingly impressed by the sight.

“Hehehe, yes it is. Are you interested?”
“A little. It seems convenient.”
“It’s a magic that’s a little far from convenient.”

Risha skillfully used black magic, seemingly trying to do some kind of experiment. Black smoke swirled, she fed Vugal black potions, and she created magic circles, chanting spells.

Our Risha was a real witch…!

It’s scary, so I should spank her butt tonight.

“Really, what are you imagining about me?”
“The usual imagination.”
“Ugh… I’ll be looking forward to it.”

ㅡSararak.

After going through such black magic procedures, Vugal’s body, who had lost consciousness, twisted and turned into the shape of a fruit knife.

“Hmm… It seems to be working. But this form… Is it alright? Didn’t you want a bigger sword?”
“That’s right. He said he’d become a bigger sword if he was in a normal state. But he’s completely messed up now, so he’s in this shape. If it’s an unavoidable problem, it can’t be helped. If it doesn’t work, just let it go.”
“Hehehe, is there anything I can’t do?”

Risha smiled and poked my side.

“Ooh, Risha!”
“Think about how you’re going to praise me later!”

Risha, who shouted confidently, took out various tools and began to do something that resembled surgery. Vugal, who occasionally regained consciousness, would turn into a fruit knife, then back into a demon, screaming, cursing, and wailing.

The basement, filled with light, echoed with the agonizing groans of the demon.

Claudie, Winia, and I could only admire Risha’s black magic, constantly exclaiming in admiration.

* * *

Thus, Risha’s cruel work continued for two days.

There was nothing much to help with. Risha would only ask for simple errands, recording things, opening books, and continuing the experiment using black magic. Karin also went down to the basement for a while and just nodded, saying that Risha was indeed a witch.

While I was leisurely reading a book about demon swords borrowed from the library in the living room on the first floor, I heard Risha calling me from the basement.

“Risha? Did you succeed?”

Asking myself that question, I went down and saw Risha looking back at me with a bright expression.

“Hehehe! Look!”

Risha, in high spirits, grabbed my hand and showed me the workbench. I couldn’t help but be shocked when I saw the workbench.

“T, this is…!”

On the workbench lay Vugal, who had quietly grown to a size of about 1m 60cm. But that wasn’t the problem.

“Did you see my skills!”

Next to Vugal lay a black longsword. It was a different sword from the one I faced with the serial killer last time. But I knew it as soon as I saw it.

ㅡThis was the demon sword.

“Demon sword?”

I didn’t feel any special energy, but this was definitely a demon sword.

“Risha?”

When I turned to her face with a questioning look, she puffed out her chest and explained in a confident tone.

“I succeeded in separating the demon’s body and the sword’s form.”
“W, what?”

The demon sword was Vugal, and Vugal was the demon sword, but after listening to the explanation, it seemed that Risha had separated the two forms.

“It took quite a bit of time… But I think I should explain it to you. First, I artificially restored this demon. That’s why his body grew.”

Risha said, grabbing and dropping Vugal’s limp arm.

“There’s no need to be considerate of the demon’s circumstances, so I was able to restore him very easily. And when I restored him, a side effect occurred, and he seemed to have completely lost his mind. Tsk tsk tsk, for a demon to have such a weak mental strength…”

I couldn’t understand in detail, but I focused on Risha’s words, who was explaining with a very confident face, as if singing.

“Anyway, that’s why I was able to easily separate the demon’s body and soul. Since I succeeded up to that point, I was able to extract the sword form through a slight adjustment process. Hehehe, once I succeeded in one thing, I was able to solve the overall process very easily.”

What the hell is she talking about?

Anyway, Risha had accomplished something amazing in just two days. Extreme joy began to surge. I felt the urge to immediately lay this confident Risha down on the bed and climb on top of her. As expected of Risha…!

Just as I was about to reach out, I became curious about what state Vugal, who was lying still and staring at the air, was in now.

“Then Risha. What happened to this guy now?”
“He’s become completely idiotic because I extracted his soul.”

Vugal, who had grown in size, had become completely idiotic due to the artificial restoration and the black magic procedure of separating the soul and form.

He was only alive, without any reaction.

I tried grabbing the demon sword separated from Vugal.

“O, ooh…! This feeling!”
“Do you like it? Then I’ll be happy.”
“It’s, it’s the best! I have to use this right away!”

ㅡSwaeak!

I immediately cut off one of Vugal’s ankles lying on the workbench. ㅡDeongeok! The demon sword’s blade lightly and cheerfully cut through the demon’s bones and flesh.

This… is a good sword!

From the weight to the cutting feel and durability, it’s quite useful.

“…”

Of course, Vugal, being an idiot, had no reaction even though his ankle was cut off.

“Heu, heu heu heu!!! Thank you, Risha!”

I burst into laughter, put down the sword, and hugged Risha.

“I’m glad you like it so much, so it seems worth the effort. But are you going to hand this Vugal guy over to the church now?”
“I’m planning to for now. Is there anything else you want to experiment with? Then I’ll hand him over later.”
“No, I’ve extracted all the necessary information. I don’t think he has any value anymore.”
“Really? Then I’ll hand him over right away.”
“Do so.”

I stared at the idiotic Vugal while hugging Risha.

“Huh?”

I just realized, but Vugal, whose ankle was cut off, didn’t turn into black liquid. The ankle was also the same. The severed part remained as it was.

The body remains in reality.
ㅡIs it because he used the serial killer’s soul and sacrifices to create a body, albeit imperfectly?

Vugal’s heart was still beating.

“Then.”

ㅡPook!

I immediately destroyed Vugal’s heart and cut off his head.
With that, Vugal died.

“You thought well. Even if he became an idiot, the church might use various means to interrogate him, and today’s events could leak out. It’s wiser to kill him and hand over only the corpse.”

That’s right.

Whatever the case, the fact that I touched the demon sword itself is a troublesome matter. It’s better to just kill Vugal here and bury the truth.

Now Vugal is useless.

I’ve extracted information, completed the request, and obtained this refined demon sword. I will remember the giving tree, no, Vugal.

Risha gave me some additional explanations, saying that even if I use this demon sword, the church won’t notice because I separated the soul, body, and nature completely.

As expected of a witch, my Risha is the best…!

She knows how to avoid the church’s eyes very well!

“More than that… Hehehe, I’ve worked hard too, so I want to ask you for a reward.”

While I was thinking, Risha smiled seductively and began to act cute towards me. She smiled brightly, buried her face in my chest, and rubbed her cheeks as if marking her territory.

“Hehehe, what do you want me to do?”
“Really, it wouldn’t be meaningful if I said it myself. I told you to think about it yourself.”
“Then.”

ㅡGgwak.

I immediately grabbed Risha’s butt, pulling up the hem of her dress, and her waist bent.
