Chapter 117 – 117. Spartal (5)

“…He committed something so outrageous.”

The sound of a burst of wind pressure is heard, and Gawain shakes his head. Clark, as expected from the past and now, has a really fiery temperament.

It must be the power of Sylphid.

It showed a level of power that was incomparable to that used by Alicia, and showed a high level of application ability, supporting close combat capabilities.

She says she is a mage, but no matter how you look at it, she is a battle mage.

And his father Marcus was also a battle mage and a famous arch mage.

A wizard who follows his father’s path.

I never thought that he could use the spirit magic at a higher level than Alicia.

And in the distance, a gust of wind blows all the soldiers of the security corps away.

At the same time, the man wearing the bread bag laughed loudly and said.

Hehe, I’ll make you sick, you pantsers. You don’t follow the winter dress code. I’ll send you all to the hospital!”

“You crazy person, you’re more crazy than me, you crazy person.”

“Utsuragyo.”

…

It’s Dick.

This is Dick Johnson.

He looks like he’s wearing a bread bag on his head, but he has a muscular physique. Plus, he looks like he’s crazy.

Not to be outdone, Clark is also using the power of the Wind Spirit King to catch up and is openly drawing aggro here. Meanwhile, Gawain and Eris hide in the slums and walk among the poor to achieve their goal.

Anyway, we will draw a lot of aggro from Spartal, hunt down the reactionary elements inside Spartal, and hunt down the ganja of Elvenheim.

Purify each city one by one and block Spartal’s attempt to become independent from Phrygia.

And in the meantime, Gawain and Eris carry out some kind of ‘operation’.

So those two are openly aggroing like that, and of course, one of them is going to fight with the security forces.

The reason Elizabeth tolerates it in the first place is probably because they are such shit.

The security forces and garrison are also restorationists who want to return to the old Spartal, and they are annoyed at Leonidas for not being able to deal with them.

As a bonus, the same goes for Elizabeth in order to openly draw out those who are trying to destroy Freesia while she is asleep or away.

“Get out now, Chief of Police. You think you can make a living by working like this and getting paid. Instead of doing what you are told to do, you commit fraud. Are you crazy?”

“W-What!? Bye, the Margrave?! So, don’t be deceived!! That woman is fake!! The Margrave is Edward…Kahah!?”

“You damn bastard, how long has it been since that bastard left behind? He’s really slow in getting news to every corner of this bastard’s house!”

“I’m sorry I’m slow, Clark.”

“No, I didn’t say that to you-“

“I know. I just wanted to call you.”

“You crazy bastards. Having sex in a place like this, am I the crazy one or are you the crazy ones?”

It’s a good idea to make love during battle.

Agreeing with Dick’s opinion, Gawain proceeds with the mission and operation assigned to him.

The operation is simple.

There are only deformed or crippled people here and there.

Spartal of Frisia.

Originally, Spartal was a country only for warriors. He judged that if he couldn’t fight as a warrior, nothing would be of any use, so he abandoned all the deformed and small people and neglected the sick.

This should not happen in any normal country or city.

Is this what it means to be a country so distorted that it contains someone’s malicious intent?

And in the meantime, humans are abandoned and have no choice but to die.

Feeling like they are grasping at straws, they listen to the words of the prophets and missionaries who travel through the slums, put their hands together in prayer, and shout in unison.

“…I didn’t want to be born in a world like this, like this.”

“I didn’t want to be born.”

“Why, why are we so sick? Why were we born this sick? Why-“

He was cursing his fate.

I wish I had never been born.

I wish I had never been born, so I wouldn’t have had to live this cursed life.

Most people were in such despair, disappointment, and anger.

I was caught up in endless anger towards the world.

“…Why do we have to be sick, suffering, and neglected? We should not have been born. All life should not have been born, and the will of the beginning was one. We must take refuge in chaos and escape this pain. Brothers, Sisters – this world is rotting. It is rotting, those who should be punished are walking around, those who should be cared for, those who should be treated are rotting in the mud.”

“What kind of life is this? Why does this painful life have to be shared equally among everyone!”

“No! Rather, it is to become one from the beginning. All life and all will become one… To regain what we deserve.”

“Chaos, holy chaos, will descend on this world…!!”

“Ah, chaos – you will soon descend on this world!!”

“When that time comes, we will become one and ascend together with chaos!!!”

“Oh my god, may chaos descend-!!!”

There is something sinister lurking here.

Naturally, rather than wondering what it is, Eris decides to proceed with the mission given to her by the Demon King.

That was [Stealing humans].

That’s natural.

This generation’s monster.

The monsters that have changed under this generation’s Demon King need human [Men].

Actually, it doesn’t matter who it is.

Among Carnesia’s subordinates, there were also southwestern elves, and of course, it would be good if they loved each other and lived comfortably, but even if they did not, if they lived a comfortable life, people around them would naturally look at them and develop feelings for them.

My mother said that if the environment is good, you will have a child even if you are told not to have one.

Well, for that reason, we guarantee them a good living environment and rebuild the broken demon world.

That was the true purpose of this dispatch to them.

And the first thing I chose was to bring in those who were abandoned in the world.

Of course, Widdy had a negative feeling about it, but he still told me to take a look.

Because I needed to know why.

It tells us that they are crowded together and crowded into dead-end streets, to the point where they are tempted by the voices of ungodly prophets shouting in the darkness of the slums.

And I saw there was no hope in their eyes.

There is no hope, and the only thing left is the deep-rooted hatred and despair that threatens to burn everything in the world.

Eris saw it as she walked lightly across the slums made of buildings and fallen trees.

And Gawain, who was walking around the slums wearing a black robe, was sympathizing with that deep-rooted hatred, listening to the nonsense and fanatical testimonies of the cultists.

Spartal darkness.

They stepped into that darkness, and in that darkness, they were able to understand why Withi had told them to come and see for themselves.

They became beings who ran without stopping until they could no longer love anything and could only hate anything, until they died, until their bodies collided with others and died.

Dark elves follow behind them.

Carnetia follows Eris.

And Eris hears a communication from the Chief of Staff.

-Eris, preparations for the operation are complete. So, how was it, Eris?

“Chief of Staff, before that, let me ask you a question. Our purpose is to find humans who sympathize with us and attract them… That’s how it will work, right?”

-Yes, that’s right.

I’m embarrassed, I’m embarrassed.

Naturally, most of the poor were already deceived by that unidentified nonsense.

Eris…

That there is no hope for them.

She clearly realized that she could not accept any love.

It’s obviously about finding broken, abandoned humans even among humans and leading them to the demon world.

And among them, the talented ones.

It is important to bring in talented young people. Strict teachings from the Chief of Staff.

I really didn’t want to say it this way, but this place was a garbage dump.

A garbage dump where those who are discarded and excluded from society are dumped.

And to search among them.

As the communication continued, Withy was looking at herself with eyes that said, “Look, isn’t it difficult?”, And at the same time, she was able to see how dangerous people who had nothing to lose anymore were.

-Finding good talent and good materials in a place like this is also training, Eris. And to find such a being and predict it in advance.

“Oh, and about Mr. Clark?”

And Weedy nods her head.

And of course, based on the facts she heard through Eris, Withy asks about Clark’s women. Of course.

Because one day, I have to stand next to him.

-…So, there are two more people?

“If we don’t eat it quickly, we’ll be late. And, what’s more, the Lord of Death himself has come down…”

It hits hard.

What really happened to this man?

And of course, I’m glad I figured it out in advance.

I fell in love at first sight and was impressed by his desperate will.

Cassandra, who had been tormenting monsters for hundreds of years and trying to use them for her own ‘ambition’, was defeated, and at the same time, the monsters were saved.

That’s why, although he tried to take great care of him, he only lost his magic. He said that he was still alive and that his work was not done yet.

The boy grew into an adult through a fierce battle, and at the same time became a trustworthy man.

He eventually returned to Magia, kept his oath, and at the same time, having kept his oath, his companion became his lover.

Elizabeth and Clark’s love affair can be seen from afar.

Even the figures of Sylphid and Mortus were giggling.

Although they are invisible to people, the powerful, including Eris, can see their appearance over there.

And because of that, we see the security forces soldiers flying in the sky and Elizabeth looking happy.

And even Clark.

And even Dick Johnson, who is looking at the two and twirling his fingers above his head.

-…If I wasn’t really the Chief of Staff, I would have rushed over right away.

With a bitter smile, Ellis listens to Weedy’s words.

“What should I do? I have to do my best in my position. Plus, I got permission from my wife, right?”

-…Familiarity, fidelity. I’ll try to steal it someday.

As expected, Mr. Clark. He makes himself horny.

Even his teacher, Widi, has fallen under his charm and cannot escape him. What a fatal attraction this is. Naturally, Eris succeeded in getting away from it.

After all, a great work of art only becomes truly meaningful when viewed from afar.

She once told me the story of Icarus that her mother had told her.

I heard this story hundreds of years ago, but I still remember it.

Icarus made his wings by gathering bird feathers out of wax, but as he approached the sun with those wings, the heat of the sun melted the wax, and he fell into the sea and died.

Naturally, Clark is the golden sun.

In particular, he will begin beating several women with the powers he received from Demon Sultan.

Dick said that it was a power he used and then threw away because he had a hard time controlling it.

And already among the dark elves, and even Carnesia, who is a half-dark elf, is very much in love with him.

He is the next Demon King, and of course the Demon King must always be cool-headed.

And you have to look at things objectively, so while Clark is an interesting subject, he is not an object of romance. That’s why he can’t connect with her, and she must keep her distance from him, considering him an ‘ally’.

Just as Dick said, she was strong enough to easily take away the power of the Demon Sultan who was trying to extend her magical power to her, and she was a monster who especially mastered that type of power.

Well, it is certain that another person can connect with him and help improve the relationship between monsters and humans.

In particular, the wizard who fights with humanity while being closer to a monster than anyone else in the world, and the people around him are gradually transformed to become closer to monsters.

Through just one love affair, he instantly corrupted Elizabeth, a noble hero, and Anna, a fairy who even he judged to be quite capable and strong, into monsters.

How did you get your body back?

And she wants to explore it, but of course she also knows that it is dangerous, as she is the first descendant of the Demon King, although not as much as the Demon King.

And that it is dangerous to become deeply absorbed in it.

To change the woman who would become a demigod from light to darkness and chaos in just one fell swoop.

How did he become a person?

Therefore, his presence will be of great help to the demon world.

“Well, first of all, I don’t think I’ll approach that person. Some things are better to see from a distance, right? Even fire is hot if you’re too close.”

After saying that, Eris goes on to talk about the next matter.

This is Aris’ story.

“Aris, it’s getting brighter.”

-…I see. I definitely think it was a good decision to leave it to Mr. Clark.

The process of teaching magic to Aris.

I didn’t scold or do anything in particular. I just wait for Aris to finish everything. And she just waits for Aris to release it of her own will.

Although the process was very spartan and complex enough to require a lot of brainpower, Clark was slowly infusing Aris with the essence of magic.

A magic circuit is being drawn on the lower body.

Oh my god, magic circuits are drawn on the lower body of a snake.

As soon as a week passed, magic circuits were drawn all over her body, and Aris became skilled in using magic circuits to the point where she could even strengthen her body through magic circuits on her own, and to prevent it from becoming uniform, Clark literally rolled Aris.

So much so that I could understand why Dick and Anna had such pitiful expressions.

Of course, even though the process progressed, Aris did not give up.

That was unexpected.

Her reaction was quite different from the reactions she showed when she was taught the manners, attitude, strategy, and martial arts that a successor to the Demon King should have.

Clark never reached out to Aris first.

I waited for Aris to wake up first and to wake up on her own.

And when she finally succeeds in getting up with her own power, what Aris does next, and the movements Clark shows while activating the magic circuit.

And they were showing off magic and letting them know about improvements, and the process of improving them was also literally flogging, so there was nothing evil about it.

-Oh, I did. Then you can do this too.

…

Then, he takes care of the rest time like a knife and tells you that you can give up if you are having a hard time.

He told me that giving up when you think it won’t work is courage and a big decision, and for that alone, no one will call you a failure.

Choosing is also courage.

In order not to be frustrated, making a choice is also courage.

And, holding on and standing firm is also courage.

Aris looks like she’s going to be tired because she’s having a hard time.

But despite this, a never-before-seen will to take on challenges.

When she thought about it, the only memories she had were of making Aris stop doing something if she felt it wasn’t going to work.

That’s because they were able to do everything.

However, the only thing left for Aris, who was like a human despite being a monster, was the will to just do it, and at the same time, she also possessed the sense of being satisfied by the golden sun.

Golden Sun Clark led Aris along her own path of learning, constantly encouraging her, holding Aris’s hand to keep her from falling when she became exquisitely exhausted.

Aris finally knew the joy of achieving her goal after all her hard work, and she tasted the sweet taste of the end of her hard work.

She didn’t want to miss out and had her accomplishments in her hands.

Geumtaeyang said:

-If you want to teach children something, you should do it with your own hands and make them happy with what they learn. That’s the way to go, because you can endure all kinds of hardships for that. And you have to have fun with it. For education to be successful, you have to use your brain and have fun doing it.

-But why couldn’t we?

-That’s because you’re smart.

-Yes? Why?

-Well, you can understand once you see it, but you are not human. And Aris was different from you. It didn’t seem like it would work, so you took care of everything, right? And then he blew some strange nonsense into it.

As the saying goes.

And Clark said:

-And there must have been people who looked down on me for failing in it. In the meantime, what is left of the child? A sense of entitlement to being a royal family, to being the daughter of the Demon King, and yet to be the daughter of the Demon King. Didn’t you have a desire to try something and be properly recognized?

That was correct in every detail.

He had human blood, and was also a monster at the same time.

Therefore, because of the gap between them, Aris is slow to learn unlike other monsters.

He would have said out loud that he seemed less distant than other royal children, but-

-He just needed time. All the children have left is time, and in the first place, all you have left is time, so why are you so impatient? It’s not like humans live for 100 years and then fall behind, so why did they teach us so quickly like humans? And I guess I didn’t even worry about it because I learned it quickly. What is education like? If you educate like that, who will follow?

And after hearing all that, Withi stuck out his tongue.

-…Your insight is truly amazing, Mr. Clark.

“Yes?”

-No, it’s nothing. And this is the story of the devil and me. Let’s go back to our first mission in Spartal. I’m not asking for much, Eris. Recruit at least one decent human being.

“…If there is one.”

Gawain comes to the front instead.

Naturally, many people’s eyes are focused on this. In rare cases, a large knight over 190 feet tall is clawing his way around the slums, but it is rather strange that no attention is paid to it.

Two cultists appeared in front of Gawain, who was walking around wearing a black robe covering his entire body and face.

“Brother, I have a good teaching. Are you willing to listen?”

“Brother, you are wandering the streets. Forgotten by the world and forgotten by your friends.”

And speaking to Gawain.

And not only Gawain but also Eris is surprised by their insight.

As I said to Clark just now, they may seem absurd, but they are broadly speaking the truth by cleverly twisting and misleading the person in the situation they are in while looking at the essence.

It is a clever speech technique that twists lies among lies, and when mixed with truth, one is incited and left without a move.

And Eris realized that it contained some kind of authority or power.

And something also appears behind Eris.

“You are an uninvited guest. You should die here…”

Fuuuuuk-

And Carnetia attacked from behind.

As she attempted to swing a dagger filled with ominous energy towards Eris, the heart of the goddess was ripped out from behind her, and at the same time, Carnetia grabbed it and burst it.

A woman flops down on the spot, like a doll whose strings have been cut.

At the same time-

“I am not forgotten by my friends, nor am I forgotten by the world. So, please step back. The person you see is not here.”

“…I think my brother needs some teaching.”

“A lamb that rebels against the guidance of a prophet needs a good shepherd. That’s okay. Even those who reject us at first eventually listen to our testimony.”

“…!”

And then numerous priests began to appear around them.

Gawain was surrounded by the sudden appearance of priests, and was Gawain also trying to respond by taking out Guillatin?

“Hold your breath, bro!!”

“…?”

And with those words, they hold their breath, and at the same time, something is thrown between them.

And as soon as you hold your breath, smoke bursts out.

“Cluck, cough, w-what are you doing?”

“Ugh-what is this…Cough!?”

A spicy scent spreads out.

And, at the same time, a boy with purple hair. 14 years old? A boy who appears to be about 15 years old appears.

Purple hair. A boy with purple eyes appears, and Eris looks at the boy.

At the same time-

Zkyung-

-Oh, my God.

Withy could tell.

…

Hey, it was love at first sight?
