Chapter 333 – #332 Why? I Also Really Liked and Cherished the Marquis.

I hit the floor hard and hit the magic circle.

Kwasik. Kwasik.

The floor cracked, and the glowing magic circle began to weaken.

“You bastard! What are you doing!”

The wizard who was activating the magic circle stretched out his hand saying he was going to kill me.
The fireball that formed instantly was very fast. It is proof that your skills are considerable.

‘In a wizard’s fight, the one who uses magic first has the advantage…’

It would be difficult for me to be considered a wizard now… Kick off the floor and slit your wizard’s throat.

The head of the man whose throat was cut by Pandora’s blade rose into the sky. The blood gushing out of his body like a fountain was slowly absorbed into the dagger.

I took my gaze away from him, who had turned into a skinny corpse, and looked back at Empress Angelica.

“Uh, how did I get here…”

She flinched and backed away from me, her eyes fluttering. I told him calmly that it wasn’t a big deal.

“Do you remember it as Ephor?”

She looked at the wizard who had fallen on the floor for a moment.

Right. Is interest an ephor?

“He took care of the knights who he thought were useless maids. Afterward, he sent them to Iza to destroy their minds and sell them to a brothel. He once stole one of them by chance. She told me that it was here that the Empress met him. What kind of preparations are you making for the future?”

Her confidence was implied in the look in her eyes the day before.
There’s no way she couldn’t have figured out her situation because she’s quick-witted, and I came because I thought there must be something I didn’t know about.
And my prediction was exactly right.

“You… Knew everything? Since when?”

“I didn’t know specifically what you were trying to do. However, I haven’t known about this place for a while.”

“But why didn’t you come right away and come now?”

“That’s it…”

I smiled brightly and lifted my index finger.

“I did it because I was just on time. Still, shouldn’t I become a man and retract what I said to the woman I love? Now, Your Majesty. It’s lunchtime as promised. How about surrendering?”

“Ha, haha…”

Empress Angelica smiled empty-handedly. She flopped down on the floor.

Then there was a meaningless struggle.

“Don’t be ridiculous. Do you think I’ll surrender easily? There are still soldiers following me up there.”

“It was like that. But not now.”

“Eh…?”

“I’m on my way back after finishing up the above. I think they’ve probably caught the 1st prince who was running away by now. As for the remaining soldiers, there are only remnants.”

“It doesn’t make sense. How can there be such a big difference in numbers?”

She looked at me with her disbelieving face.
Okay. 5 times the difference in numbers. That’s also a mercury position. No matter how many sword masters we have, we cannot close the gap.

But I had Pandora. The ultimate weapon of humanity that exerts absolute power over all living beings with a physical body.

– It was very spectacular. Everyone has become a woman, unable to keep their balance and falling down and struggling. Tsk tsk.

When the gate was opened in that state, the fight was very one-sided.

Empress Angelica, who saw the truth in my eyes, grabbed the hem of her skirt.

“… Why? Why?”

“Yes?”

“You can take my side. Me too… I also really liked and cared for the Marquis… I loved him… But why… Why are you standing by Princess Reina’s side?”

“…”

“If the Marquis wanted, I would give her a child. If the Marquis wanted… I would do anything… I loved her more than her husband.”

I walked up to her and put my hand on her shoulder.
She looked up at me with her eyes half filled with tears.

“But power is still the most important thing to the Empress. Isn’t it?”

“…”

“Reina said she would follow me even if it meant giving up the royal family. That’s the difference.”

After a moment of silence, she nodded her head.

“… Yes. That’s right. Maybe wanting you was an extension of that. I’m… That kind of woman…”

Of course, I can get a glimpse into the other person’s psychology… I knew that her feelings for me were sincere.

But humans are not sure of their own feelings.

Especially those in power like her who always wear her mask. Because she can’t show her feelings… I don’t know anymore.

“I killed my husband, and I killed countless people… It’s miserable. My life… I didn’t become empress for this.”

Empress Angelica shed tears.

I could have hugged her, but she didn’t.

When she turned her head to the side, hundreds of corpses came into view.
They were victims.

Probably, as always, they paid money to recruit applicants. No matter how many people there are in the capital, kidnapping will be problematic in many ways.

“Black. Black…”

She is a villain.

I could have comforted him, but I didn’t.

You must know how to regret what you have done at least once. Because of that, you have to be criticized and feel what loneliness is like.

– … Is bullshit. Are you already holding it? The dick is standing still.

“…”

I hugged Empress Angelica and patted her. I gently rubbed his back.

She cried in my arms, saying she was upset and regretful.

There was no other reason why I comforted her.

After all, being alone means being lonely.

At least one person. I wish I could be there at times like this… Because I often felt this on the battlefield.

“Angelica.”

Sniff. Sniff.

“Stop going up now.”

When I tried to drop her, she clung to me and hugged me even more.

I gestured toward the stairs. Serendiya and Amelia appeared and bowed their heads.

“Take him up.”

“Master. Are you okay alone?”

“Uh. Anyway, I don’t think it will make much of a difference whether you guys are there or not.”

When I turned my head to the floor, I saw a magic circle that was becoming increasingly red.

Black magical energy poured out like smoke, and there was tremendous energy.

‘… I definitely destroyed the magic circle.’

The shattered floor took shape again. Even though the operating wizard was killed, the magic circle was operating normally.

‘Can you feel Perez?’

– Shit. The feeling was strong, so it looks like an old lady got involved.

Grandmother?

When Perez is described as a grandmother, there is only one person.

The one who stands as the antithesis of Eos, the god of light. Karta, the god of darkness who created the demon world and created the demons.

‘Why her?’

– I don’t know. Anyway, the guy being summoned now is definitely him.

The Demon World is ruled by a being called the Demon King.

And below them, there are five dukes, each ruling and operating five regions.

I touched the flowing magic energy.

I felt a deep desire.

The desire to destroy everything. A fighting spirit who wants to fight.

Black magic energy gathered above the magic circle and began to take shape. A large man measuring about 210 cm appeared holding a sword larger than himself.

Haha! Finally. Finally…!”

Vereth leapt out of my body and summoned his own sword. The big man also smiled at her as he looked at her.

“It’s been a while, satyr.”

“I see. It’s been almost a thousand years, Veres.”

… The author is the fifth duke of the Demon World, a satyr.

I heard that he was lower than Perez, but the energy he gave off was unusual.

“But you seem to have a lot of energy today. I guess the old lady got some milk?”

“Ah. Yes. It is the eternal wish of our demons. It is about moving to fulfill Mother Karta’s wish. Wouldn’t it be natural for her to give me strength like that!”

“Hmm~”

The satyr clenched his fists.

Hehe. With this power… I can defeat even the 1st Duke Felhound. There is no one who can interfere with me now. With this power, I will subjugate all races, from humans to the Elyos. I will beat them all to death. “

“That’s interesting. I heard your aspirations. But, kid, fighting isn’t just about weight classes. I think you’ll have to teach me that again today.”

“Puhahahaha! Good. Good…! I was thinking that I should pay back at least once for what you did to me. I couldn’t find where you’ve been wandering around for a thousand years, but it actually worked out for me. Furthermore, I’ll make a bowl of mud on that face today.”〈 Br〉

“You’re always good at talking. If you lose this time, prepare to have your ass pecked for a month.”

Veres and Satyr looked at each other and smiled.

A great deal of speculation and magical energy was released, creating a storm around the area.

It was my first time. This is what Perez looks like.

It wasn’t the goofy look he usually showed. It was not an empty statement to say that each one of the Dukes of the Demon World had demigod-level strength and surpassed even adult dragons.

The problem is that the satyr’s magical power is overwhelmingly greater.

Coo coo coo.

As the demonic energy of the two beings began to collide, dust and stone fragments poured down from the ceiling.

I blocked the swirling wind with my magic and stared at Beres.

“Pereth. Are you okay?”

“Heng. Don’t worry. Even if you gain strength, you will always be a kid. I will 100% win this fight.”

Looking at what you say, you seem to be confident.

But the fight between the two did not come to fruition.

“Huh?”

“Hmm?!”

Suddenly her dimension split around her, and her black hands came out from within and grabbed her.

“W-what?! What are you doing now, old lady?”

“Pharez!”

“Wait, don’t come! If you come close, it’s dangerous…”

In the blink of an eye, Perez disappeared beyond the gap. I wanted to approach her, but I couldn’t because her dark and pure magic was pushing me away.
The satyr scratched his head and spat on the floor.

“Tsk. It’s been a while since I wanted to fight… But it’s a shame.”

“What happened to Perez?”

The satyr looked at me with a sour expression. A face that is utterly indifferent, like a human looking at an insect.

But that’s only for a moment… He soon opened his eyes wide.
He revealed his teeth and expressed his joy.

“Hey human. You… Are quite strong, aren’t you?”

Tingling. My skin tingled.

It was the first time that my skin screamed like this even though I was not alive.

I looked straight into his eyes and asked.

“You haven’t answered my question yet. What happened to Perez?”

“What will you give me if I give you the answer?”

The guy approached me brandishing his weapon. He sighed briefly and held two daggers in both hands.

“If you tell me what happened to Pharez and what I must do to bring her back, I will stand here and fight between her and you.”

Hehe. It’s a fight that won’t stop until the end of life… It’s good. Furthermore, it’s a condition I really like.”

“So where is Perez?”

“She should be with her mother now.”

“Demon Realm?”

“It is better to think of it as a gap in the dimension, not a demon world. The higher gods usually reside in the world they created or in the gap between dimensions. The ordinary world cannot handle their overflowing power. While in the gap between the world, they live in this world. It has an impact on that world.”

“It’s a similar move to the Spirit King.”

“Yes. They influence this world through contracts, and they also send their residents to other worlds.”

“I understand. Then next question. What should I do to bring Perez back?”

In response to my question, the satyr grinned and flashed his teeth. And at that moment, his remnants lingered.

Bang.

The floor he was standing on shattered.

I quickly bowed down. A black figure passed overhead with a heavy sound.

Soon, a strong wind rose in front of me. The ground broke and scattered due to the wind. Like houses being swept away by a typhoon, the entire floor was completely destroyed and floated in the air.

The wall on the other side was dented and began to collapse.

“Oh, that’s pretty cool. It’s very easy to avoid, right?”

“… Are you not going to tell me how to bring Perez back?”

Hehe. I’ll tell you about that when you beat me.”

“You’re saying things that don’t even make sense. If you say that, I can’t really fight, right?”

I widened the distance by using his feet.
Then, I wrapped strengthening magic all over my body.

[Strengthening strength] [Enhancing agility] [Enhancing physical strength] [Increasing resistance] [Blessing of wind]…

The satyr burst into laughter.

“Hey. Are you serious? Do you really think you can beat me?”

“Yes, but.”

“Really? Hehe. Okay, then let’s do it like this. When I decide you’re good enough to kill me, I’ll tell you my story.”

Hmm. The standards are a bit vague… It doesn’t matter.

“Instead, there is no need to change words?”

“Don’t worry.”

I jumped right at him.

“… Huh?”

The satyr touched his neck.

Fit – A solid line appeared on the neck. Black smoke rose from there and spread into the air.

His head and body separated and floated in the air.
I asked him, loosening his wrists clockwise.

“So what? Do you feel like talking now?”
