## Chapter 750 – Paladin Kim Kat

“KAAAAAAAHK!!!!”

The restrained Belial screamed.

Of course, it was just screaming.

Even with his arm severed, the guy whose neck, waist, legs, tail, and all tentacles were bound couldn’t even move, only shaking his head violently.

Right now, Belial was a total pushover.

Undoubtedly, he was restrained.

Killing a guy like that is easier than snapping a three-year-old’s wrist. There’s nothing simpler than killing a sealed bastard again.

“KIEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!”

—Crack!

I jumped high and plunged Vিউgal into his navel like an ice pick, then—thwack!—kicked, piercing a hole in his belly skin and stepping on it.

A foot technique that pierced the skin with the toes and stepped on the flesh.
A technique to cling to the body of a giant monster.

This was the know-how of Demon Rock Climbing!

“S, STOOOOOOP!!!!!”

Belial let out a miserable shriek.

No matter how great a demon he was, he couldn’t overcome the fear of being dismembered while sealed and restrained.

“Bullshit!!! You little punk!!”

Of course, I lightly ignored this bastard’s words!

After stepping on him, I pulled out Vিউgal and swung it horizontally again, severing his thin waist. —Swish! Vিউgal, wrapped in sword energy, cleanly cut through his spine.

With this, his upper and lower body were now perfectly separated.

—Splatter!!!

Black blood gushed out, and I jumped back and landed on the ground.

“GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!”

His spine-severed lower body fell forward. No, it didn’t fall. It `dropped.` Because Claudie and Karin had already perfectly severed both his arms and legs.

“This guy’s a total pushover, isn’t he?”
“Hehe, right?”

The two women grinned wickedly as they butchered the falling lower body. —Chop chop chop! In the blink of an eye, the great demon’s lower body turned into ground meat for soup.

“Look at that mess. Only his upper body and head are left.”
“Wow.”

As Liz said, only Belial’s upper body and head remained up there now. The restraint on his neck kept him supported even after losing his limbs and lower body.

It felt like a wall-mounted clock.

The Belial Clock.

—Gush! Gush! Gush!!!

Black blood poured out incessantly.

“Kuaaaagh…!”

The great demon’s miserable screams repeated.

Despite being the powerful ancient great demon Belial, all his body parts except his upper body and head were instantly chopped to pieces. His tail and tentacles were long gone. Liz had already blown them all up.

The floor was already a complete mess with black blood and his severed limbs.

—Crackle! Crackle!!!!

Just then, support fire came from behind.

As black lightning touched his neck, —Boom!!—his upper body and head separated and fell to the ground with an explosion. With this, the complete Belial dismemberment set was complete.

“KAAAAAAAHK!!!!”

Like a completely separated Lego person.

Belial, whose every body part was chopped up, wailed.

There’s a joke that the best way to remove handcuffs is to cut off your wrists. It’s a joke widely spread among American gangs, but anyway, Belial ended up dismembered in that kind of way.

Without limbs, you can’t restrain him.

“Ooh…!”

I saw the image of the country boys I was with in my childhood overlapping with Belial’s appearance. When boys caught insects, they usually divided them into head, thorax, abdomen, and legs. Belial was exactly like that now.

“Sisters! We have to get rid of all his body parts first!”
“Yes! He might regenerate!”

—Whoosh!
—Boom! Boom!

Looking over, Winia and Hilde were pouring magic on Belial’s legs. As they said, these bastards might regenerate!

“Yeah! Let’s turn all his limbs into ground meat first!”
“Yeah, we should.”

Just 10 seconds after saying that, all of Belial’s body parts except his head had turned into demon tartare. Karin, who raised her sword aura, and Claudie, who showed off her ultra-fast cutting. And Liz, who raised her fist energy, just sliced and blew up all the severed limbs and upper body.

Wow.

“Why are my sisters so strong?”

I could only admire.

“Ugh! Ugh…! How dare…! How dare you lowly humans…!!!!”

Belial, with only his hammerhead-like head left, groaned lowly, spitting out black blood. His once massive body was nowhere to be found now.

He couldn’t resist, only letting out childish screams.

“Hehehe, this guy’s whining. Hey, can you be a great demon if you’re this weak? Huh?”

“Shut up, you inferior human!!! If I wasn’t in this state…!”

“Yeah. But you still lose. You’re a really pathetic great demon. Getting sliced up like this in an instant.”

—Tap tap.

I gently stomped on his head with my foot as I spoke. His head was really big. It was so long from side to side that it seemed to be about 5 meters. Belial in his complete state? I couldn’t properly imagine it.

Anyway, we happily watched his miserable end. We killed a great demon so cruelly, so we were sure to go to heaven.

“The bug is you, Belial.”

Then, Hilde walked up elegantly and looked down at his head as she said.

“How dare a mere succubus defy the order of the Archduke!!!”

“A bug can’t be an Archduke. The name Archduke is wasted on you. You’re just pathetic trash.”

Belial was furious at Hilde’s words, but there was nothing a guy with only a head could do.

“Kat! Quickly! Start the interrogation as usual! We might be able to find out some secrets!”
“Hehehe, I should. This bastard dared to be a subordinate to my Hilde? You’re dead now, you bastard. Once you’re caught by my sword, everything up to where your mom lives will come out, you punk.”

—Whirr whirr.

I spun my sword in front of his head. There were a few things I wanted to ask. But it didn’t seem like a guy with only a head would tell me anything. But I still had to try.

“Nonsense…!”

“Whether it’s nonsense or not, we’ll know if we test it. Then… huh?”

—Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!!

Just then.

—Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!!

Vিউgal emitted an intense wave.

“Oh, oh shit, Vিউgal!!!”

Come to think of it, I had forgotten about this bastard!

The holy sword Vিউgal grows stronger by cutting demons and absorbing their souls! Now, with an unprecedentedly weakened great demon in front of it, Vিউgal was rejoicing!!

—I want to eat, friend…! I want to eat this great demon!

Vিউgal! Are you talking to me now!

—Yes! Let me eat that great demon right away! By becoming stronger, I can more easily preach the truth of Fusion Confucianism in this world!

Good!

“Hehehe! You bastard! Become Vিউgal’s sacrifice!”

—Swoosh!!

I swung my sword.

—Clang!

I carefully cut off his hammerhead-like head from the end, like slicing ham. His head was so long from side to side that if I controlled it properly, I could make about five thousand slices of Belial sliced ham.

—Crunch…! Crunch!
—Rip! Rip!

However, I couldn’t make sliced ham.

“Ugh…! Khaaagh! Stop! Stooooooop!!!!!!”

As soon as I finely sliced his head, the flesh melted and climbed up Vিউgal’s blade. —Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!! The excited Vিউgal even transformed into a vibrator sword, enhancing its cutting power with its crazy vibrations.

“My soul…! My souuuuuuuul!!!!!”

Yes.

Vিউgal was absorbing Belial’s soul.
Just like last time.

“Vিউgal…!”

I focused on the work as if possessed. My women were watching me now. I carefully. I sliced his head into pieces, adjusting so that Vিউgal could properly absorb Belial’s soul.

Slice slice.

Egg crack.

“GROOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!”

Belial’s scream.

“Huh? The corpse pieces are melting?”

As I was doing that, Karin said. Looking over, as she said, the pieces of Belial’s flesh scattered around were all slowly melting.

Vিউgal was absorbing his soul right now. So he couldn’t maintain his body anymore, so it was melting.

“Gik, gigigik!! Gigigigigigik!!!”

“You crazy bastard!!”

Belial couldn’t scream normally anymore. The scream was just an unknown language uttered by an ancient demon.

“Kat! Torturing a great demon…!”
“Kat is so cool!! A man who even tortures a great demon!! Hilde is moved!!!”

Beyond Belial’s head. Claudie and Hilde, who came to my front, held each other’s hands and jumped up and down. They were so cute doing that.

“U, uu!!! O, ooong…! Oooooh! A, uh. Uh oh!!”

“Be quiet, you Belial bastard!! My women are liking it so much right now!”

This damn bastard is ruining the mood!!

I scolded him, but he couldn’t answer. Actually, I was going to ask him something, but, well. I stopped. There was nothing I could know anyway.

Like that.

—Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!

I put all of Belial’s soul into Vিউgal.

—Rustle.

Perhaps because of that, the black blood that had pooled on the floor and formed a river began to disappear. Like snow melting away in the spring.

“…Belial’s energy is disappearing.”

Hilde said wistfully.

“It’s not just returning to hell… it’s completely disappearing. That Archduke of Pandemonium is disappearing forever like this…”
“…It’s quite a heartwarming sight.”
“Hehe, yes. I think so too.”

—The evil energy is disappearing.

It was heartwarming and beautiful, like the climax of a touching human drama. Evil fades, and justice is established. Humans couldn’t completely drive out all the evil prevalent in this world. Because evil is also a part of humanity.

But at this moment, Belial, the great demon and Archduke of hell, met his death.

Perhaps with this.

The world might have become a little better.

—Chuck.

For no reason, I felt like I was scratching my nose beyond the barrier of souls, where Belial might be, and giving a thumbs up. This guy was an unprecedentedly terrible bastard, but now that his soul was absorbed by Vিউgal, he was just a follower of Fusion Confucianism.

“Ah…!”

A sense of fulfillment began to fill my chest.

Today too… I did a good deed.
I practiced Fusion Confucianism and made the world a little more beautiful.

—Whoosh.

From somewhere, a warm spring breeze that warmed my heart began to blow. I could feel Buddha, King David, and Hwanung in that wind.

—We defeated the great demon with our hands.

“All of us.”

I looked back at my women.

“All of us killed this great demon. By killing the great demon, we made this world a little more just and right. This is now… I guess we have no choice but to call it the Saint Family.”

I said, looking back.

“Hmph… well, yeah. Ah, damn. It’s been so long since I’ve done something good, it’s a little embarrassing.”

Karin scratched her cheek, blushing as if she was embarrassed.

“Hehehe, is that so?”

Claudie smiled brightly, putting away her curved sword.

“It feels good somehow… hehe. I’ve even killed a great demon in my life. I never thought I’d have such a valuable experience. Well, I’m satisfied too. I want to tell Lisette and Mariel about it too.”

Liz also blushed, looking embarrassed.

Lisette, you bitch.
I wonder how Mariel is doing.

“Blackie. I don’t know why the atmosphere suddenly became so heartwarming.”
“Actually, this lady doesn’t know either.”
“Uh… I didn’t do anything.”

Winia, Risha, and Ari, who were in the back, had slightly indifferent reactions. Well, that could be. But let’s enjoy this atmosphere for now.

“But in the end, we couldn’t figure out why this dungeon existed.”
“That’s true.”

I thought we wouldn’t have been able to figure it out properly anyway.

It’s a little disappointing, but let’s be satisfied with killing the great demon for now.

—Thump.

“…”

Vিউgal throbbed.

Currently… Vিউgal was tidying up the absorbed soul. I could tell because I was the sword’s owner. I shouldn’t use this sword for a while. No, rather, I should carefully manage and observe it.

It’s only natural since it absorbed the soul of a great demon.

—Buzz.

The geometrical patterns densely engraved on the wall were still glowing green. Still? Belial was dead, so shouldn’t the power be exhausted?

Well, it doesn’t matter.
I can just do some investigating now.

“Blackie. Can we go up now?”
“We should soon. But let’s do a quick investigation before that.”
“Okay.”

Then let’s do a quick investigation…

—Shuffle shuffle.

Just then, Hilde slowly walked towards the wall.

“This is… refined Belial’s power…”

—Chuck.

Hilde, standing in front of the wall, stretched out her hands. As if trying to receive the light coming down from the sky.

Then.

—Rustle.

A slightly stronger green flash emanated from the wall. The emanating flash soon scattered, becoming dreamlike dust and slowly gathering towards Hilde.

—Whoosh.

The dust of light gathered on Hilde’s palm formed a sphere. At the same time, the light on the wall went out. Those things that I thought were lights were gathering towards Hilde.

That’s Belial’s power?

“It’s not that complicated for demons to choose an Archduke…”
“Hilde?”
“You kill the Archduke and absorb his power, then you become the Archduke.”
“…”

Hilde is, perhaps.

“Hehe, Kat. Don’t worry! My vessel can’t do that right now! And even if I could, I wouldn’t do anything without Kat’s permission! The owner of my soul and body is only Kat!”

Hilde, who made a green sphere on her hand, said with a bright smile.

A smile like a flower.

“Ah. This is a little embarrassing… Thank you. Hilde. For saying that to me.”
“I’m grateful for Kat’s existence itself!”

Ah, my heart.

“But I can still use this to increase my power, right? Kat. Please stand next to me for a moment. I’ll try to increase my power a little.”

I went right next to Hilde and stood.

—Buzz.

An energy sphere emitting an ominous green light. It began to shrink little by little. The sphere, which had shrunk to a certain extent, suddenly unraveled and disappeared like a thread scattering, and then disappeared forever.

Did Hilde absorb all the power?

“Ugh…!”

—Tzzzz!

Just then, the wings on Hilde’s back began to grow little by little.

“Hilde! Are you okay!”
“Augh…! Y-yes…! Just growing pains…!”

It wasn’t just that. Not only her wings but also the horns on her head grew a little bigger. And her tail got longer too… Is this her power getting stronger? The absorbed power was being revealed by the horns and wings, which are symbols of a succubus, growing bigger.

“Haaah!”

Accordingly, Hilde’s breasts and hips also grew by about two sizes.

“Yippee!!!!!”

Belial hooray!!!!!!
