Chapter 448 – The Smell of Paradise

Although it wasn’t my intention, the first thing I did was clean up the miscreants of Nema Natas who were standing guard while I was outside.

After going through the process of sealing the mansion using Gleipnir for the second time.

Roman, who was returning to the room where Juergena was, thought once again.

‘···Efficiency cannot be compared to the past.’

After using it in real life, I felt a sense of growth.

Could it be that Gleipnir and Rakshasa are children who are directly influenced by their master’s abilities?

With just a small amount of mana, less than a handful, the entire Gleipnir was blazing with the white flame of Rakshasa.

‘Did your relationship get better after you both shared the same mindset?’

The feeling of being sucked in by Gleipnir rather than putting white salt on it.

Even if various speculations pass by, ending the battle is more important than verification.

“Thanks to you, I cleared out all the bastards outside the mansion. Thank you.”

Roman, who returned through the hole he had jumped out of, entered the room she was in.

“As expected, it was a case of the church’s scheming.”

“Oh, this? You might think so. I understand.”

If you look around, the white flames are still burning brightly.

How great is the effect?

The warlocks, except for me, were squirming like insects who had been drugged by the divine energy that filled her room.

“If you had run away without coming back, you would have lived a little longer. If I tear you to death, this disgusting fire will disappear.”

“I know.”

The pure white flames affect unclean beings, but do not burn the mansion itself.

Perhaps because she had more eyes, I was able to quickly read her focus.

‘Just as you said.’

Either Roman uses up all of his mana, and it is lost, or his supply is forcibly cut off. It is safe to say that there is no possibility of fire extinguishment or total combustion using any other method.

Therefore, Roman plans to not extinguish the white flame until all the warlocks inside are dead.

Crash!

Roman, who had neatly cut off the ends of Gleipnir that bound the building, prepared for a new battle.

Grab the chain tuned to the appropriate length.

The Rakshachal hanging at the end was spun around.

“Let’s try again.”

Just as Roman is about to unite with Juergena once again.

Kugugu ───!!

Black smoke billowed from the magic circle where the ritual was taking place, and the air trembled.

The mansion was slightly tilted.

The violent shaking made everyone here aware of the reality that some disaster was about to strike.

Hope twinkled in the eyes of the warlocks who were dying from the white flames.

“Crukkruk… Adventurer. Somehow I ended up overwhelming the number of people.”

Juergena rolled her eight eyes here and there in disgust.

The corners of her mouth were raised to her ears, as if she was showing off a terrible laugh and sharp, animal-like teeth.

Tung. Tudung.

The head of the four knights, who had been cut off and lying around, rolled around, moved, and was sucked into the place where the ceremony was taking place.

In a unique twist, Roman retrieved the spinning Rakshasa and watched the situation from a distance.

‘What will come out?’

After finding time, Roman took a simple action and poured holy water over his entire body and smoothed his hair.

I watched the pitch black smoke rising.

Cheolgrug-

A metallic sound rang out, and the spreading smoke swirled around the center and disappeared.

The appearance of what appeared there was a headless knight.

The cut side of the severed neck spit out dull green flames.

Black armor and red greatsword made based on the sacrifices of warlocks.

The ominous creature, holding a long sword in one hand, placed the head of the four knights in its free hand.

Cedric Floyd, who was left with nothing but his head, opened his eyes on the devil’s palm.

He showed unfocused pupils and spread the will of the descending devil.

– This body is the third molar Gankan who serves Naberius. This place vibrates with a bad smell like paradise.

“Welcome, friend who smells of pandemonium.”

Jurgena showed favor to the descending creature and approached her.

As a result, a stark confrontation of 2 to 1 was drawn.

Roman rolled his head, scanning his new enemy.

‘···Durahan?’

There was only one monster derived from its appearance.

That wasn’t just a simple Dullahan, but it was clearly a special individual among them.

As proof, it has the same name and location as Zaichik, Malpas’ subordinate whom he encountered when rescuing Lilene.

– One knight’s complaint was heard all the way to Pandemonium. This body descended at the end of the contract to regain the knight’s lost honor.

Although it has a good appearance, the fact that it is a contract spit out by the devil means that the souls of the 4 knights were extorted in return for this action.

Roman grabbed the Gleipnir and Rakshasa that were hanging around his neck while breaking the holy water.

“I guess I can do it now.”

Keyeeing ─!!!

As she poured white flames into her sword, Rakshasa absorbed her flames and Roman’s mana inside.

Rather than having a blazing flame like other weapons, the Rakshasa gave off a brilliant light from the constellations engraved on the sword face.

Juergena and Gankan’s senses were focused on that flash.

– ···A human being who exudes the scent of paradise.

“It’s probably a holy relic hidden by the church, so be careful.”

The Dullahan took a step forward with a clanking sound and raised his sword.

– I will give these useless things the glory of becoming Gankan’s strength.

Kwajak!

Roots like blood vessels spread from the red sword stuck into the ground like a tree, causing a pounding heartbeat.

“Ah…! Yu, Jurgena niim…!”

“Aaaaa!!!”

The action taking place with the Dullahan’s sword was clear.

Absorbing the lives of the crawling warlocks and all the sacrifices in the sacrificial box to fill his power.

When all the warlocks’ lives died out, Roman extinguished the white flame and summoned the separated chains.

– Announce part of the contract. The time allowed for this body is only 10 minutes from the time it begins to act to fulfill the contract. I will settle the matter as quickly as possible and let the world know about the greatness of Naberius.

“Adventurer. If you cut off your head nicely, I will cut it cleanly without pain. Or, you have the option of running away for 10 minutes.”

4 Despite all the sacrifices of the knights and warlocks, a demon with this level of power cannot be kept in this world for long.

It is impossible to even command someone, so the only way is to meet the goal based on a contract.

“They’re damn good in pairs.”

Roman wasn’t planning on just holding out for 10 minutes, he was planning on hunting down that demon called Gankan.

‘It was said that a truly high-ranking devil like Malphas cannot yet appear in this world.’

Inferring from Atra’s words, it may be the highest level that a demon of that level can descend within the constraints of the current time.

Even if something in the world deteriorates and the information Atra provided becomes useless, there is only one conclusion.

A demon that has the potential to influence this world depending on the sacrifice can never be left alive.

··

··

Kwaaang -!!!

The room where people were drinking exploded and Roman stayed in the air.

Swinging Gleipnir in that state.

As if they were working together, the two demons joined forces and pushed the chain away.

Tak.

After settling down on the first floor, Roman rolled his eyes and checked his surroundings again.

‘It’s worth a try.’

Roman supported his torn shoulder with white flame and rotated his Rakshasa.

Dullahan was significantly stronger than Juergena.

I have an ignorant lich, and she simply got on my nerves.

“Hehehahaha!!! Where are you going!”

– Um.

Two demons came down at the same time making a loud noise.

Juergena, confident of her victory, let out a wild laugh with her heightened emotions.

Roman threw the Rakshasa in the direction he had in mind.

She twisted her body to avoid the rushing sword.

PIPIT ─!

Roman dodged the last slash by lying down.

She folded and bounced her body like a shrimp and aggressively hit me with her feet.

“Kaaak!!!”

If you narrowly avoid the illusion sword like this and deliver an effective hit.

I thought that the Dullahan would immediately take advantage of her gap and pounce.

‘This bastard…?’

For some reason, Roman’s eyes twitched at the Dullahan’s slow movements.

Roman takes out a warhammer imbued with divinity from his inventory and applies white flame to it.

I threw it towards the head in the Dullahan’s arms.

Cheaeng!

– ···.

Block incoming projectiles with the sword.

‘Are the weaknesses the same as regular Dullahan?’

You can’t blindly trust, but there is one weakness worth targeting.

Satisfied with this level, Roman concentrated his strength on his arms.

Cry ───!!!

When Roman pulled his hand, Rakshasa and Gleipnir, who were tied around the first floor several times, tightened in an instant.

He destroyed the pillars, stairs, and decorations and strangled the two demons like a prisoner.

– What an absurd thing to do! Come!

– Heeeee!!!

Unlike Gankan, who summoned the Horse of Pandemonium and dodged it into the air.

Urge I was bound to Gleipnir, unable to move her huge body nimbly.

“Only your arms got faster. Have you had a hard time adjusting to your body size?”

“To the point of tying one’s feet like this!!!”

Come on! Scream!

No matter how much she struggles, Gleipnir does not loosen.

An object that couldn’t be cut off even with a sword.

Roman jumped up onto Jurgena’s shoulder and flashed his light while showing the Rakshasa he had recovered.

Surprised, Yurgena raised her head.

“Friend…! Help me!”

– Who’s your friend? How arrogant, this Gankan won’t listen unless it’s from Naberius.

Dullahan, who had his greatsword on his shoulder, did not hesitate to answer in Cedric’s voice.

– And there is no end to the low-level joint attack with you. I want to see the performance of that weapon, so cooperate with the experiment.

“···!”

Even though my face has become less human, it seems clear that she was in despair.

‘Something was strange from earlier.’

In some ways, she ended up being similar to Cedric, whom she used.

She believes that she is not the only one, but the conclusion that she is a human being taken advantage of by the devil is very obvious.

In a way, it was a natural result.

“You idiot. You have nothing to believe in, so you believe in the devil?”

Unfortunately, she may have been told by Nema Natas that something like this would never happen.

In that case, the devil and the warlock are the ones turning on each other.

I chose the wrong person to trust.

Deep!

The Rakshasa burrowed into Jurgena’s head.

“Keueuuuuu!!!!”

Slumping to endure the pain.

The eight eyeballs moved like crazy, threatening to pop out.

Her body, bound by her chains, trembled as if struggling.

[Heart – Exorcism]

To punish evil things.

It was a vague realization that the energy of pure yang could be used in this way.

Clang!

“···Fuck off!”

Confidence that something is broken at the edge of the cutting edge.

Roman pulled out the Rakshasa.

– I admit that it is a skill that surpasses that of the human species. Even so, will you be able to last 10 minutes against this Gankan who has become a rider?

“···The contract will proceed from now on. This is it?”

It was truly devilish, and I could not help but wonder what kind of promise Cedric Floyd had made in exchange for his soul.

– Yes. It was a boring play. 10 minutes starts now.

– Prug! Purr!

The horse, which was breathing fire instead of snorting, was ready to run away, pounding its hooves in the air.

The red greatsword that was used as a weapon had suddenly taken the shape of a lance.

Grumble -!

Roman came down from Juergena’s lifeless body and completely recovered Gleipnir.

He brushed his messy hair once again.

“10 minutes? I’ll catch you within that.”
