Chapter 719 – [A Journey to the Demon World]

The only reason I set the condition of the duel after 3 days was to prevent him from doing other tricks.

It was the minimum amount of time I gave because I couldn’t do anything from finding a place to fight in one day. Even if the pope wants to try his hand at more than this here, he shouldn’t be running out of time.

“How about over there?”

“I’m gathering people. Especially I’m gathering people from the papal faction.”

“It’s good to sweep it all at once.”

The head of the moderate faction, Bishop Ruth, was in charge of the temple near the Devil’s Castle. He was in charge of an important place as much as he was, but on the contrary, he was far from the Holy See.

Most of the priests who stay in the Vatican are those who are on the side of the Pope. And it was clear that those within three days’ distance of this place were also close to the pope.

If there was an all-out war on the other side, they were close aides to the Pope and cancerous lumps of the Black Church. If you kill them all at once and wipe them out, that’s it.

If there is only one person to be wary of, he is also the Pope. It was because he was content with being the Pope despite his mighty arms.

“Was the Pope really that strong?”

“I thought you would win even if there were at least five demon lords?”

“Oh my god…”

“The ability is similar to that of the Demon Lord, but the size of the power is different.

But in the end, the power easily obtained in that way has no substance. In fact, if you have the power of the Pope, it should be higher than the level, but it is understandable when you see that it is on the same level as the devil.

“By the way, what about the children who were sacrificed?”

“For now, the Demon King decided to take charge of it until the duel is over. For now, we need to express our neutrality on the outside.”

“You did well to tell me in advance. In the end, since we’re allies, we’ll be on your side in case of emergency.”

Well, in that case, it is also possible for me to lose, but that’s not the case. It is said that the Pope is strong, but in the end it is because he is under me.

I spent time moderately warming up. I didn’t sleep with Korma for the three days before the duel, so I put on a bit of a puzzled expression, but let’s get over that.

After killing time, the day of the duel dawns. Finally, the time to slaughter the pope has arrived.

“I’ll dress you up”

“No, first of all, since the opponent is the opponent, I don’t want to receive help from the priestesses.”

“Even so…”

“Corma”

“Yes”

Korma transforms into several at once and dresses me. It doesn’t matter if I wear it separately, but I don’t think they’ll give up if I don’t show it like this.

Seeing that, the priestesses reluctantly withdrew. In a situation that has already been like this, there is no need to enlist the help of those who have been influenced by the pope.

However, to make my refusal worthless, the clothes I wore had something foreign powder on them.

“You’ve messed around with it again and again. At first glance, it’s not a big deal when they’re separate, but it’s a poison that works when combined. But since you won’t mix five or six, the most important poison was to use it in a duel, right?”

“If you see that even before Your Highness challenged me to a duel, I’m guessing that’s when she tried to assassinate Her Highness.”

“I guess so”

It was only natural that he would try to kill me, the strong man on the human side, in a position where he was already preparing for a continental invasion war. Originally, if I die in the demon realm, it is a matter of war with the empire, but since we were going to war from the beginning, in fact, there is no demerit other than merit.

But I brushed it off without leaving a single powder. Now, whatever you try to do, it’s useless.

After getting ready, head to the arena. The location is outside the Holy See. The battles between the demons take a lot of damage and restoration is a task, so they say that the arena is mainly built outside the city center.

“I wish you luck. And the Pope is a formidable opponent, so be careful.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll win and come back.”

“You’re so confident. That’s a good sign.”

The Demon King begged for luck. Well, even without that, I’ll win.

Before going up to the arena, talk with the acquaintances you made in the Pandemonium. The main content was just wishing for my victory, but Rosearia was the only one who brought useful information.

“I’ve been trying to gather information about the pope for three days…But there’s no information as if I erased it on purpose. It looks like he’s hiding something.”

“I thought so. The Pope’s power is heterogeneous.”

“However, dirty tricks often remain in the records of the Pope’s past. Be careful, Your Highness, you never know what to do.”

“Oh, thanks for the advice”

One of them has already been destroyed. Even if it doesn’t mean anything to her, I should be thankful that she purposely sold her footsteps to gather information for me.

Shall I give you some of my blood next time……. It seems that my blood tasted good and he drank it well.

I went up to the arena.

I can feel the texture of the hewn stone floor. It feels like something similar to a self-fantasy that raises durability, like [Steel Mindset] Used on the continent.

Well, in the end it will be destroyed anyway. It’s easier to break and destroy than to block and protect.

“I’ll confirm again, but is the 3rd prince going to fight alone?”

“Is there a problem? You don’t have a limit on the number of people, so you can bring him as much as you like and fight.”

“I’m asking if you’re confident you won’t regret ithehe…”

He laughed mischievously. Dozens of priests followed behind him.

The number is about fifty. It’s less than I thought, but if you think of it as the elite among the elite, it’s actually quite a large number. In addition, more than half of them had a presence of more than ten continental rivers.

If the power of the demons had not been reduced on the continent, I think that mankind would have lost a long time ago during the continental invasion war. No matter how elite they are, dozens of them are at the level of the Continental Ten.

“I said that if I win, I will receive the young dreamer that Your Highness favors.

“Can I take you?”

“……?”

“I’m going to search from here anyway.”

Now, the courtesy of respect has ceased. He must have quarreled by mentioning my person not once, but twice.

I won’t kill you nicely I will use every method I can mobilize to thoroughly kill you.

“I, the 43rd Demon Lord Phyllis Rem, as the judge of this duel, swear to the whole body that I will judge fairly without favoring anyone.”

As a referee, the Demon King, who maintained neutrality on the outside, was in charge. But I know that’s just words. So will the Pope.

The reason he came here is because he is so confident. But he probably doesn’t think that confidence will kill him. I’m really curious about his expression at that time.

“There is nothing worth mentioning about the condition of this duel. But one thing, the only condition is that the survivor wins. Do both sides agree?”

“I agree”

“Yes, I agree”

“Then, in the name of the Demon King, we will start a duel from now on!!!!”

Pyuooooo!!!!

Soon, the lump of fantasy power launched by the demon king flew into the sky and exploded, signaling the start of the duel with a sound.

Around the time I was leisurely looking at the fireworks of imagination, the other camp quickly began to act.

“This bastard!!!! You’re being arrogant with the subject of human beings!!!!”

“I will accept with my life the disrespect I have committed against the Pope!!!!”

Two priests who were faster than any other 10 Continental Powers rushed at me. And at the same time as sprinkled something in the bosom, use imagination to stimulate the sprinkled powder.

“Burn and die!”

But there was no response. Unexpectedly, they retreat in fright.

“No?! What the hell?!”

“Uh, how come it doesn’t burn?!”

“I wondered if it was poison, but is it the kind of thing that just burns with a chemical reaction?

If it causes strong toxicity simply by mixing, the effect is unexpectedly small. First of all, the poison must be absorbed into the body through contact, not ingestion, because such strong poison is difficult to share.

However, it is different when it comes to chemical reactions. There is a substance that explodes even with a weak impact, such as nitroglycerin, so if you mix it, there will be a roaring fire even if you put a fire on it.

Besides, the burning pain hurts the most, and the effect would be good whether it’s for suppression or killing.

“Let’s start by tidying up”

“What………”

I made a blade with light telekinesis and decapitated all the priests on the arena.

Oh, and for reference, that includes the Pope. It seems like killing them right away after saying they would kill them painfully, but there was a reason.

Stand up!!!!!

There was the sound of something being cut and the sound of their heads falling to the floor. Thanks to the hardened spectators in the unpredictable current situation, the sound of the head rolling on the floor can be heard very well.

The demon king was bewildered for a while, but soon tried to determine the winner.

“The winner! The third prince of the empire…”

“Not yet”

When I shook my head, the demon king turned his gaze to the Pope’s camp.

“Yeah…… Bastard!!!!”

There, the pope was propped up by his severed head.

*        *    *

It could be simply because of the regenerative power of reattaching the head after it was cut off, but I decided it was for a different reason.

The pope deliberately presides over the ceremony and kills people in the name of a living sacrifice.

And a much longer lifespan. At this point, you can roughly understand what the pope’s self-fantasy is, but if you think more deeply, it is important to know how far it is limited.

His self-fantasy doesn’t just take away the imagination of the person he killed. Considering his strength as a demon and the power he has accumulated over the years, his self-fantasy can be seen as the ability to take away all of the opponent he killed.

To be honest, it was a dubious prediction, but the fact that he wanted Korma made it even more certain.

If it was a self-fantasy that could rob the other person’s self-fantasy, it was natural to aim for a person with a more useful self-fantasy. And Korma’s self-fantasy was known to be outwardly self-immolation.

The more the body, the more helpful it is. Even in the Demon Realm, where there are demons full of talent by human standards, such self-fantasy was rare. If I knew about Korma, I would have guessed that he would definitely be aiming for it.

In the end, biting the bait resulted in the guy dying once.

“Regenerative power… It doesn’t seem like it. Is it more advanced? It looks like the Xeon guy I saw before, reviving. It looks like you can store your life stock, right?”

“How did you do that…”

“It’s okay if you pretend”

I don’t know if I’ve seen it for the first time, but I’ve seen that type often. It’s not common, but it’s not rare either.

In addition, imagination is an ability close to will that can significantly ignore the laws of physics. In addition, according to the laws of this world… Just like Zeon can be resurrected from the dead, he can be resurrected as long as the conditions are met.

“Kyo, the pope is dead and alive!!!!”

“It’s a miracle. It’s a miracle…!!!!”

Oh, that’s usually how you react. Just as Jesus would have ended up being remembered as one of the prophets had he not been resurrected, resurrection is one of the feats of defying death.

But I had no intention of letting him be recognized as a saint. I can’t stand it because I’m disgusted if his resurrection is treated like a saint who has lost all of mankind’s original sins.

“I feel like vomiting, Pope!!!! A person who hasn’t heard a telegraph oracle cannot perform a miracle like resurrection!!!! How many innocent lives have you killed to get that extra life!!!!! “

“Shut that mouth!!!!!”

Wooooo!!!!

The Pope’s imagination began to shake the entire arena. He has pressed me in response to his feelings.

Yeah, watch how he reacts violently when he touches the pricked corner. If you do well, you can somehow gloss over it, but that’s what happened when you killed me on the spot and survived.

“I am the agent of the telegraph!!! I am the apostle chosen by him himself!!!!”

“You sound funny.”

I killed the Pope once again. This time, I made a blade with telekinesis and fired it, but I noticed that the same move didn’t work twice and avoided it.

But this time, I grabbed him with telekinesis and twisted his neck on the spot. It was the same as before, but it was like twisting and turning his neck dozens of times to cut off his head as if squeezing it.

The Pope’s blood splashes on the floor. But for a long time, a guy who had been killing people in the name of offering sacrifices couldn’t have only one or two stocks of life.

If you don’t want to die, you have no choice but to resurrect.

“I, I… Don’t die!!!! The whole body looks down on me!!! Death has no meaning to me who achieved immortality with that authority!!!!!”

As time goes back, the revived pope shouts with a maddening voice.

By the way, it’s not fanaticism, it’s madness. He has no faith in him, only his own desires.

“Even though the children who are to be offered as sacrifices die and go to Jeonjeon’s side!!!! Does the Jeonjeon give them the power not to die so that they cannot come to their side!!!!!”

“That……..”

“If you die and go near the body, isn’t the ability of immortality not a blessing from the body, but a curse!!!!!!”

If you’d rather be a fanatic, then I’m right! He will ignore the contradiction of logic and come running, but he is only a pattern priest, not a government official or anything.

There is a little bit of a tum in front of logical eonbyeon. It was impossible to give an immediate answer here, unless you normally intend to object.

“No!!!! My predecessor gave me these blessings in order to take care of this Demon Realm…”

Wooooo!!!!!

“Big, billion?!”

Even if you try to answer, it’s enough to attack and keep your mouth shut. Cheesy but effective.

A punch that penetrated the armor of several layers of self-fantasy he had stolen from the man he killed ripped his heart out of his torso. I can see the figure of a guy who has been pierced in a circle around the pit.

And resurrected again. Even though his heart was blown and his throat was cut and ripped out, he came back to life.

“Oh, nooooom!!!”

“But isn’t that it?”

By this point, the audience would have noticed.

“A miracle is that medicine is the best when it’s done once. If you do it twice or three times, you get a different feeling.”

Only then was the Pope able to look around.

Looking at him who revives even after killing him, they have various emotions in their eyes.

When he was first resurrected, even if it was a miracle, it would have worked. However, it is not a miracle to show that people continue to die and come back to life, but it becomes an ability.

The spectators’ eyes were full of fear and doubt about the pope. Even if the game ends in a draw and he returns, he will not be able to gain support in the future.

“You guys can’t believe this……!!!!!”

“Yeah, I wanted to see that expression.”

Hey there, how are you feeling now?

The reality where there is no answer whether you win or lose, the present that does not go according to your plan, the only result that remains is destruction… I feel like I want to slowly hear how he feels right now.

“Even so, I will not lose!!!! I am immortal!!!!!”

“Just because you say you don’t die, you kill until you die, but there’s no way you won’t die. Rather, you can just kill without having to torture yourself.”

Because that would be enough punishment.

Wow!!!! Torture Toys!!!
