Chapter 221 – 18. Simon Kingdom – Looking for a Party of Warriors (5)

“Then Valdes. Lie down on the bed.”

As Cloudy said, Valdez lies at the center of the barrier she prepared.

Soon, divine power came out of her hand and a chant came out of her mouth.

A bright and warm white light headed for Valdez’s chest, as if it would warm his heart.

Contrary to what ordinary people think, the divine power was not unconditionally hostile to the demons. The divine power, which is more sensitive to the will than mana, reacted to the blood of the demons only when it became divine magic through chanting. It also wasn’t necessarily like that.

But it wasn’t without impact at all. Even so, Cloudy’s divine power hit only the widely exposed pattern on her chest her, and Valdes did n’t feel any pain, let alone sting. That meant that Cloudy was looking out for him and that her control her was excellent.

‘But then I can’t.’

“Ugh. Queuuugh…”

“Bar, Valdes?”

The saintess was taken aback by the painful voice that escaped from the boy’s lips.

Right now, this power was only reaching the pattern engraved as the curse of dominion. And she was confident in her own control of her. Still, her suffering meant one thing.

The curse had been triggered.

Kugou-

As if to prove her thoughts of her, black energy began to emanate from the curse pattern. It was very dark and thick, and it was a dark and dull aura like the demons that the saintess thought.

“This…!”

The black energy pushed back Cloudy’s divine power and headed upwards. What seemed to be a face appeared between the energies that gathered round in the air. Her features of her were difficult to discern, but four things stood out: her eyes, nose, and mouth.

One eye opened, as if made of fog, and its gaze her turned to Cloudy.

– Hoo. I came here because my curse was about to be erased, but who is this? Aren’t you a saint?

“… Are you a demon who carved a curse on Valdes?”

Cloudy looked up at him with ferocious eyes and said.

It was such a natural situation that there was no need to ask, but she asked as if to confirm. Then, she concentrated the divine power in both hands. It was because he was sure that the curse could be removed from the object of the curse appearing in this way.

-Okay. I carved the curse of domination. But it’s really unexpected. To think that our saintess is close enough to do something good for a mixed demon like this.

“…”

She felt unworthy of an answer. If she did something wrong, she would only be caught weak. Instead, she responded by asking the question again.

“… Who are you?”

-What?Haha!! Are you avoiding the answer! Wow, good!! It doesn’t matter!

“…”

– Don’t introduce me. What you call darkness, I am.

A black aura that didn’t have clear features smiled.

-It’s the devil.

“Devil?!”

Cloudy was shocked.

She thought that she was at least a demon at the level of the Four Heavenly Kings because she had put such a curse on her. However, she never thought that she would be the Demon King.

It must have been several years ago that the curse was engraved on it. It hasn’t been a long time since the previous demon king died to the hero Pedro, but a demon king stronger than the four heavenly kings has already been born. Even if the ecology of the demons was not revealed, it would be nonsense.

Haha!! Yes, you will be surprised!!

“Why… Why is the demon king only… “

– Did you engrave a curse like this on a half-blood demon who was only born out of rape?Haha!! That’s simple!!

“…”

– An oracle must have come down to you?

“…… !!”

It didn’t matter how the demons knew about the oracle given by the goddess.

In Cloudy’s head, the word “Darkness” Lurking in the continent came to mind. With just a few hints from the self-proclaimed Demon King, the misty face, the saintess’s intelligent brain combined the information and came up with a conclusion. Without knowing if it was a lie.

“Could that darkness be, half demons…?”

-Yes, that’s right!! There are countless mixed race demons living on your continent!!

“But a curse like this…!!”

– You can’t bet that much? That’s your idea!! This kind of black magic, curse magic is our demon tribe’s organ!!

“…”

The saintess quietly gnashed her teeth.

The number of mixed demons living on the continent was not less than expected. Many new generations were born as a result of the war, and many were born before that. And they were living a difficult life scattered across the continent.

‘Maybe that’s not all. There was no reason the Goddess would call two warriors at that level. However….’

A small smile appeared on her lips.

“You’re so vicious. But, it was a mistake to tell me this. What a fool…”

-Is that so?

“…?”

The black demon lord’s gaze turned a little lower. To Valdes, a boy of mixed demon race who is still moaning in pain. Despite the fishy smile on his black, blurry mouth his, Cloudy was still confident.

“It’s a curse, you just have to lift it.”

-You can erase it? Really?

“Of course. You didn’t come because you were worried that the curse would be erased.”

The debate was meaningless. What you have to show yourself.

Cloudy tried to ignore the meaningful smile of the black demon king and shot the divine power he had concentrated in his hands toward Valdez’s chest. And he began to chant incantations. The most powerful healing spell she can currently use.

“Quaaaaagh!!!”

Valdes let out a painful scream at the power of that powerful divine magic.

However, the saintess did not stop her divine magic her.

“I’m sorry!! Please be patient with me, Valdes!! I’ll break the curse right now…!! The curse… The curse…? …Uh? Huh?”

Cloudy was taken aback. He was puzzled

Cursing wasn’t something that could be done away with using divine magic. I don’t know if it’s a weak thing, but the curse that was strong to a certain extent continued to be pushed away by the power of magic. And if you push it like that, the symbol of the curse will gradually become blurry and weak.

However, the pattern engraved on Valdes’ chest remained the same. Even though he received divine magic, instead of weakening, he emitted stronger black energy and shone in a hideous black color.

“This, what is this? Why?!”

“Kuuuuu”!!!

“Ah, ah, ah. I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

The louder and more painful scream made Cloudy hurriedly stop the magic. Then, with a bewildered expression, he raised his head and looked at the black demon king.

It was laughing A very blatant sneer.

“You!! You—!!!”

Haha!! Did I really think that I appeared because the curse would be erased?! It is not so!! I just came because I felt a pretty strong divine power!!

“……..”

-Haha!! What a satisfying expression!! It’s worth coming this far!!

The saintess closed her eyes tightly.

It was an overwhelming sense of helplessness. What the hell did she do? Even her holy maiden her, her own holy magic her, couldn’t heal her. No, she didn’t even know if it was possible. The problem was that she couldn’t stand the terrible screams of pain that Valdez had to go through in the meantime.

Even if he succeeded in haeju, it seemed that Valdez would go crazy first because of the pain.

-It’s a mass production type, but it’s a curse that’s been worked hard for a great deal! Although the power of control is weak, the power imprinted on the soul and body is much stronger!! If you’re a saint, you’ll probably be able to erase it. But before that, wouldn’t the target die of pain? Heh heh.

Claudy gritted her teeth at the appearance of the black devil revealing an important fact as if teasing.

Whether the target of the curse went crazy or died, if the result of Haeju was the same, then it had no meaning. Only if this fact is known to the Vatican or each country, they will find and kill all the mixed demons with curses engraved on them.

There was a justification that Haeju was meaningless. If that happens, will only the half-blood demons with the curse be killed? Not at all when Cloudy saw it. He could have used this as an excuse to drive out all the mixed demons. In addition, it will be used for numerous political purposes.

In fact, nothing else mattered to her. She did n’t care even if hundreds of thousands of mixed demons who did n’t believe in the goddess died anyway.

“Valdes…”

Her only concern was her Valdes.

The son of a benefactor and best friend. He is a faithful goddess who calls herself Auntie.

Valdez looked at himself vaguely and smiled at Cloudy. He stopped trying to do it, but his face was still full of pain. It made her feel like she was fine, which made her even more heartbroken.

-Hmm, saintess. You seem to care about the boy quite a bit.

Cloudy’s body her trembled slightly.

He was caught weak.

Even if I tried to deny it, I couldn’t. He couldn’t even lie. If that happened, somehow Valdez would have a bitter expression on his face. Cloudy realized that he had come deeper into her heart than she thought.

Third meeting now. It was difficult to say that the time we had a conversation was long, but Valdes was already a family to me and a loving nephew.

“… So? What does that mean?”

Rather, she confidently fired at the black demon lord.

– It’s funny. It’s very funny.

“Huh.”

-I don’t know what the two of them are… Might be worth using

“… I don’t know what you’re up to, but I would never… “

– We make a bet.

“…Yes?”

Cloudy looked at it with a puzzled face.

What kind of bet do you mean?

-Our demons also investigated a lot about you over the past time. They are the ones most likely to hinder the Great World. I know very well that you, saint, are not very merciful.

“…”

-But you spare the boy? And our interests conflict with each other. If so, it’s simple. Making a bet If you win, I’ll break the boy’s curse.

“… If you win… ?”

– Holy woman. You take me

“…Under!”

It was an absurd proposal.

However, there was no refusal for Cloudy.

“Okay. That bet. Let’s try it.”

Growing up in a slum, she had to have and protect what she was obsessed with. That was the minimum condition for the orphans who were her bottom life to be themselves. She gave up saying she couldn’t do it, compromised herself, and in the end nothing was left.

The Black Demon King, Valdes, knew that very well. Because he was also an orphan who grew up in the slums. Because I was really close with Saint Cloudy at one time. In order to avenge her saintess her and her goddess her, Valdes decided to rule her.

-Haha! Truly a hero who led the last war to victory! The momentum is great!

“It’s noisy. Come on, tell me about the bet.”

– The content is simple. To do what I say If you don’t, it’s your defeat.

“…? What kind of nonsense…”

-So you don’t like it?

“…”

It was absurd.

But I couldn’t do it. Now that the weak point has been caught, she is clearly out of line. Still, she saw that she needed to come out strong. It’s not clear, but the Black Demon King seemed to want him. So she didn’t know how much to bow down.

“Of course I don’t. Where’s that ridiculous bet?”

– Hmm. I’m sorry about that.

“Bring some more decent bets.”

-Great. Then what about this

“What?”

The Black Demon King looked down at Valdes again.

-I’ll take special treatment for this boy’s curse. When certain conditions are met, the curse is lifted.

“!!”

-And I will inform you of those conditions one by one. If you carry out all of them, the boy’s curse will be lifted. But if you can’t make it… Hehe, you know the result, right?

“…”

Cloudy is in trouble.

In a way, it was similar to the previous one. Anyway, you have to do as the Black Demon King tells you.

Still, this one was a bit better. In any case, she was able to remove the Curse of Valdés little by little, which was what she had hoped for. If you were lucky, you could have removed the curse with divine power when it weakened.

However, in the end, it bothered me that the black demon king moved as he wanted. If he had to do something dangerous in the middle, his efforts could have been in vain. Even if that wasn’t the case, there was no small possibility that she would do something that posed a threat to the continent without even knowing it.

-I’m really worried about this. OK, be a little more generous with me.

“What’s your heart…”

-The conditions are limited to twenty in total. I will refrain from content. Half of what you do to the boy, and half of what the boy does to you. Isn’t this something to worry about too much?

It was definitely better conditions than before.

He didn’t know what the Black Demon King would do, but if his actions his were limited to himself and Valdes, there would be no damage to the goddess or the continent. At least a few useless things. The limits were clear. Rather, I thought that she was all right, even though her doubts she went away.

“Okay. Let’s try.”

-Haha, the contract is established. No magic or tools are used in addition to the contract. Because it can cause misunderstanding.

It was also welcome as Cloudy.

I was worried that the Black Demon King would properly keep his promise, but I could be misunderstood as a traitor if I left something like a token or evidence. The goddess cult, and the traitor to the continent. It was never something like that.

-Okay, so that’s the first order.

“I don’t like the word command, but… Say it.”

-Kiss this boy.

“?!”
