Chapter 152 – Colosseum Tournament (4)
[Indomitable Hero Nellis! Even after being hit by Talagis’ punch, he fought back right away and won! Strong determination and mental strength! Is this why he is called an indomitable warrior?]
“Oooooh! God of Light! King! Nellis niiiiim! Thank you! Thank you!”
“Nooooo!
“Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Yahooooo! Honey! Guys, I’m going home now!”
“My, my three months’ salary…!”
As the host’s voice rang out announcing the results of the semifinals, voices of mixed joy and sorrow were coming from all over the place.
“Nellis won.”
“Hmph! Of course! There’s no way Nellis would lose to a guy like that! Who’s the hero of the party!”
At Nellis’ victory, Scarlett clenched his fists and smiled, baring his teeth.
“Then let’s go meet Nellis.”
Kalt left the audience with Scarlett and Aria.
Hehe! I won!”
Nellis, whom we met outside the Colosseum, smiled brightly and made a V sign toward the group.
“Good job, Nellis. How was the opponent you faced this time?”
“The round of 16 and the round of 8 were similar. But the opponent I just faced… Was strong. Even though I swung my sword hard, he was dodged and blocked, so it was frustrating.”
“Yeah, he looks pretty skilled.”
“But I won! Hehe, it’s thanks to the strategy that Mr. Kalt taught me!”
“Is this a tactic taught by Kalt?”
“What is that, Nellis?”
“That’s right~.”
Nellis boasts about the strategy that Kalt mentioned.
“Now that I think about it, even in the preliminaries, you fought by dodging rather than blocking with your body, right?”
“Well, I didn’t know what your protection was, so maybe it was Talagis? That opponent seemed confused because his fists didn’t work.”
“Ahem, it worked out well in the end because of Mr. Kalt’s teachings!”
“Okay, okay. Are you hungry? Let’s go to a restaurant quickly.”
“Huh? Why does Scarlett want to go to a restaurant?”
“I do that because I’m hungry too. And… I made some money thanks to you.”
“Ah! Did you bet on me?”
“Kalt told me to bet, so I bet.”
Hehe, you did well to bet on me, right? Huh? You did well, right?”
Nellis walks around Scarlett and smiles.
Scarlett blushed slightly and walked in front of Nellie, deliberately avoiding eye contact with her.
“It’s noisy. Let’s go quickly.”
“Oh, wait, Scarlett!”
“We’re going too, Kalt.”
“Okay.”
Kalt walking down the street following three people.
It was when Nellis and her group were looking into which restaurant to eat delicious food.
‘… Huh?’
Kalt felt a strange sensation.
It was a feeling she had felt before.
It was a feeling that made her bristle when she felt the energy she also felt from Master Golem.
Of course, it was not something that could be clearly seen like with the Master Golem, but rather a faint and weak energy that seemed like it would be easily missed.
However, feeling this energy is related to Mine.
Kalt glanced at Aria.
Aria just smiles and follows behind Nellis and Scarlett.
In other words, it was so weak that Arya could not feel it and Kalt could barely feel it.
Before Kalt could no longer sense his energy, he stood and spoke to Nellis and the others.
“Everyone is going to the restaurant first and eating.”
“Yes?”
“What?”
“What’s wrong with you, Mr. Kalt?”
Since Kalt, who was not a priest, could not directly say that he felt demonic energy, Kalt came up with an appropriate reason.
“I felt like I just saw someone I know. I wanted to talk for a bit. It’s been a while since we met, so the conversation might get longer, so I’m eating first.”
“I can wait just to talk!”
“Nellis is hungry from competing, isn’t she? Don’t worry about her, just fill your stomach.”
“Still…”
If possible, it was Nellis who wanted to eat together with Carl Trang to celebrate her advancement to the finals.
“I heard this story is getting longer. Stop whining and go. I’m hungry too.”
Scarlett took Nellis’ hand and walked in front of her.
“Hey…”
“Kalt, see you later.”
“Okay.”
After seeing Ariado Nellis and Scarlett follow, Kalt hurriedly looked at the place where he felt her energy.
Fortunately, as I moved to a place where I could feel the energy slightly, the energy I felt gradually became stronger.
‘I never thought I could feel the magic in a gambling city.’
Kalt sent Nellis and his group to a separate restaurant for safety reasons.
If she is alone, even if she encounters a demon, she can somehow escape.
However, Nellis’ party still lacked the skill and skill to run away after encountering a demon.
Kalt took out the essence from her arms.
“Hey.”
[Yes, master!]
Jeongsoo’s voice, which only Kalt could hear, echoed in my head and rang with energy.
“Can you feel it too? This energy.”
[Of course! Thanks to my master’s growing vagina every day, I can feel it too!]
“My vagina?”
[It’s not part of it! The master’s naturally flowing sexual energy is flowing into me, so I am also energized!]
Since Jeongsoo’s voice couldn’t do strange things under hypnosis anyway, he ignored the trivial details and continued to ask.
“This energy. I don’t think Aria noticed it. Why did I notice it?”
[That’s because the master’s senses have become more sensitive as he consumes sexual energy every day. In particular, the blood of the evil spirit flowing in the master’s body has become more active, making him more sensitive to demonic energy!]
“That’s right… Then this energy… Do you really think that Mine is in this city?”
[I don’t think there is one now! Because this is not the energy directly emitted by Mine!]
‘It’s not the energy you emit directly?’
Kalt, who followed the energy into the alley, asked.
“Tell me more.”
[This much weak energy! If it is weaker than the one given to the monster I saw last time, it must be the magic energy given by the demon when he uses his hands and feet on those who cooperate with the demon lord’s resurrection!]
After hearing the essence’s voice, Kalt recognized the identity of the owner of this demon.
‘You mean they are devil worshipers?’
A worshiper of the devil.
A group of lunatics who fall into madness and wish for the destruction of the world or make deals with demons for their own self-interest and strive to revive the demon king.
According to popular belief, Kalt had also heard that there were people who received power from demons and went on rampage.
‘But I never thought it was real.’
Kalt has never seen demon worshipers.
So I wasn’t sure, but from what Jeongsoo’s voice said, it was a certain fact that the demon was distributing demonic energy to the demon king worshipers.
“What exactly happens when a demon shares magical energy with a person?”
[It depends on your aptitude.]
“Aptitude?”
[When it is first distributed, regardless of aptitude, humans become intoxicated with demonic energy and gain a great sense of elation as well as powers that are not suited to their duties! However, after a year of receiving the energy, it will change depending on your aptitude. After a year, those whose bodies cannot adapt to the demonic energy will weaken and die soon after. Even those who are weak and have not died cannot receive more than a certain amount of demonic energy into their bodies.]
“Who has adapted?”
[Those who have adapted are also divided into classes. There are people who adapt to demonic energy and gain greater elevation and strength in proportion to the amount of demonic energy they receive… In very, very rare cases, a person appears who can create demonic energy on his or her own. Of course, it is a trivial amount compared to Mine, but at least I can share it with others.]
There has always been little information about devil worshipers.
I just thought he was a traitor to humanity who worships the devil and goes on a rampage.
It had a closer relationship with Mine.
‘But isn’t it strange? Then why has it not been known until now that demon worshipers and demons are connected?’
It was strange that, like Aria feeling demonic energy from the Master Golem, no priest ever felt demonic energy when meeting a demon worshiper.
When Kalt asked his question to the voice of his essence, the answer came right away.
[Because it is very weak. Unless he is someone who directly creates demon energy, even priests will not be able to distinguish him from ordinary people. In the master’s case, it is a unique case where he can feel it because the blood of the demon has become stronger.]
‘That’s right… Wait.’
“Maybe I can control demon energy or something?”
[No, in the case of the master, he can only produce vagina. Even if you increase yin energy more, you cannot create demon energy.]
‘That’s a good thing.’
If there was a day when Magi was created, a situation where a priest who felt it would be endlessly hypnotized could be avoided.
At the end of the question and answer with Jeongsu’s voice.
In Kalt, the subtle magic energy is felt more clearly.
I felt that the distance between me and the person emitting that energy was greatly reduced.
‘I need to proceed cautiously at this point.’
Calt gradually narrowed the distance while muffling his footsteps so that the opponent would not notice, and looked for signs around him.
‘If you go a little further forward, there are about three people. It’s standing still. Are you starting a conversation? The conversation may end quickly, so we might run into each other. Then…’
Kalt jumped high so as not to make a sound, alternately kicking both walls of the alley and climbing onto the roof.
Of course, make sure to make as little noise as possible when landing.
And Kalt, who climbed onto the roof, looked down directly where he could feel the energy.
Just as Kalt sensed, three robed people were standing and talking.
Kalt listened, taking full advantage of his enhanced physical ability by absorbing more negative energy.
“Okay, the plan is going well.”
“Ah, finally. It’s finally happening.”
“That’s right. It’s tomorrow… When the saints of our church, my compatriots, will win the victory and be rewarded. It will be time to sacrifice all the foolish people gathered there as sacrifices for the Demon King.”
‘What? An offering?’
It was unusual content.
