Chapter 154 – Demon King’s Church (2)
Nellis and the others could not help but be astonished.
I thought Kalt was suddenly away, saying he was meeting an acquaintance, but he came with the plans of the devil worshipers.
“Then meeting an acquaintance…”
“I’m sorry, there’s a guy who looks suspicious. I don’t know what kind of guy he is, and I said that because he could sneak away if I’m alone.”
“Then what should I do? Are you going to report it to the guild?”
“No, even if I report it to the guild now, they will be slow to respond. I don’t know what they will do if they find out that the devil worshipers have discovered their plans due to the sudden confusion in the first place.”
“Then what are you going to do, Kalt?”
“First of all, tomorrow I will go to the sewers and deal with the demon worshipers.”
“Are you okay if I do it alone?”
“Even if you were a demon lord, each one of you wouldn’t be stronger than a kobold, right? You know how good I am at cutting down kobolds, right?”
“Uh… Well, if it’s Kalt, it’ll be fine.”
“Hey, Mr. Kalt.”
“Oh, Nellis. Because of that, I won’t be able to watch your match tomorrow. I’m sorry.”
“Oh, no! That’s okay! But when I heard about the plan, tomorrow… I’m going to have a match with someone called the priest of the devil worshipers?”
“Yes, I guess so. But don’t worry too much. According to the information I heard… You can easily beat the opponent you face tomorrow.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. It seems like he’s a strong guy… But even then, he can’t be stronger than the Master Golem’s blow.”
Kalt smiled as he placed his hand on Nellis’ shoulder.
“So, feel free to show off your skills and show an example to the devil worshipers who are bragging that they will win.”
In order to further increase Nellis’ motivation, Kalt placed a condition.
“If you win at the Colosseum, I will grant you a wish.”
Wish.
I have not yet received the award I received from my performance against the Master Golem last time.
In such a situation, there is an opportunity for Kalt to grant your wish.
“…! Yes! Mr. Kalt!”
Nellis’s motivation burned even brighter.
‘I will defeat all devil worshipers and all!’
“Scarlett and Aria, please be on the lookout for those who appear to be devil worshipers to do something after Nellis wins. Of course, I will deal with them and quickly return to the Colosseum, but I don’t know what will happen.”
“Okay.”
“Yes, Kalt.”
“Nellis.”
“Yes!”
“No matter how beatable an opponent you are, you cannot let your guard down. So, let’s spar some more right now. I’ll teach you more about the sense of easy fighting.”
“Yes! I will work hard!”
◈
Dinner.
After finishing counseling with Nellis, Kalt entered Scarlett’s room.
Now, as if it was natural, Aria was waiting with Scarlett in her room.
“Kalt, I want to ask you something.”
“What is it, Aria?”
“The information I obtained today… Was it by any chance Kalt used his abilities?”
“It’s strange to know the plan in such detail, even if you’re such a fool. Did you use hypnosis?”
Kalt immediately nodded in response to the two people’s questions.
“Yes, that’s right. But most of the time, they were just messing around among themselves. I chased after one of them when they were splitting up, hypnotized him, and asked him.”
“As expected.”
“It’s really convenient in times like this. Your ability. Even crazy people like devil worshipers hear about it.”
Scarlet crossed her arms and asked Kalt further.
“Kalt. With that hypnotic ability, wouldn’t you be able to foil their plan more easily?”
“I would like that, but I can’t proceed that easily. There are a lot of devil worshipers in this gambling city right now, and I don’t have time to go and hypnotize them all.”
“That… I guess so.”
“It’s a shame. If only we had time, Kalt wouldn’t have had to take on such a dangerous task.”
“Well, things can’t always go smoothly. More than that… I’m glad you were worried, Scarlett and Aria.”
“Well, why worry? If you have the skills, you’ll do well, but it’s better not to bother me if you can!”
“I was honestly worried. Unlike Scarlett.”
“Aria!?”
“Because I’m lewd, I’m that honest about my feelings.”
“You… Did you still have that in mind?”
“Well?”
Kalt said, looking happily at the two people bickering and fighting.
“I don’t do anything I think is reckless. I move when I have a good chance of winning. Still…”
Kalt spread his arms and hugged Scarlett and Aria.
“What…!”
“Ah…”
“I’m really happy that they both think of me. Thank you.”
“Huh, huh. Well… It’s natural to be worried since you’re a colleague!”
“Please finish work safely tomorrow.”
“Yes, I will.”
Kalt separated from the two and told them a very sad truth.
“So, let’s just have a consultation today and then go to sleep early. Since I have to deal with many people, I also need to be in top condition.”
“Ah!”
“This can’t be happening…!”
‘Because those damn devil worshippers are making useless plans… !’
‘I cannot forgive you, evil demon worshipers! To begin with, they call themselves a religious order! It’s blasphemous!’
Deprived of their pleasant time with Kalt, Scarlett and Aria burned their anger against the devil worshipers.
◈
The next day.
Nellis, Scarlett, and Aria left for the Colosseum first, and Kalt was alone in the inn room, closing his eyes and meditating.
“Whoa…”
Kalt took a deep breath and looked out the window.
It’s time for the gambling city’s audience to gather at the Colosseum.
It is time for the devil worshipers to gather in the sewer and prepare their seats.
“Let’s go.”
Kalt got up from the bed and went out of the inn.
When many people are walking towards the Colosseum.
Kalt trudged in the opposite direction.
Kalt once had this thought.
If you have the ability, you can reform and transform even the most vicious person into a good person.
However, based on his past life experiences and his determination to live as kindly as possible, Kalt came to one conclusion after living in this world.
Unless there are special circumstances, I don’t want to do something like that to crazy bastards.
Therefore, today Kalt was planning to ‘deal with’ the devil worshipers.
When he arrived at the sewer entrance of the gambling city, which he learned from the hypnotized priest, waiting for Kalt was a man dressed as an ordinary villager.
“What are you doing here? We’re currently cleaning the drains, so don’t come in…”
He spread his hands towards the man.
“Ah…”
“Are you a member of the Demon Lord’s Church? Be honest.”
“Yes…”
Suddenly!
The man’s neck separated from his body and fell down.
The body of the man who lost his head fell forward.
-Passsss…
The body of the man who lost his life was slowly collapsing from the end.
Kalt had seen something similar to that scene.
It was similar to what was seen when the demon that had been defeated with great difficulty lost its life.
However, the mine collapsed quickly.
The man who just lost his life was somehow vague and slow.
‘Is this also the influence of demon energy?’
It was evidence that due to the influence of demon energy, he had escaped from being an ordinary human and had become a little closer to being a demon.
‘Then it’s the heart… It’ll be a little more comfortable.’
At least, demon worshipers can be thought of as being of the same family as demons, who are not humans but enemies of humanity.
-Kkii Iik
Kalt opened the iron bar door installed at the entrance of the sewer and entered the sewer.
Percussion!
I ran.
Like when dealing with a group of kobolds that easily numbered over 100.
Kalt became a gale and crossed the sewer.
While moving, I saw three robed people.
“Huh?”
“What is it?”
“The sound of someone running…”
Three people turn their heads when they hear the sound of Kalt running and feel strange.
But the moment I look back.
Suddenly!
Kalt had already cut off their heads and passed by.
Three heads fell into the waterway of the sewer with the sound of falling down all at once.
Plop!
The sound made by the cut head falling into the water signaled the beginning of the massacre of the self-proclaimed devil sects.
The massacre was relatively quiet.
No screams can be heard.
There was no sound of a counterattack.
Creep, crease, crease.
By the time I heard the footsteps and turned my head, my throat had already been cut.
A being who cut their own throats.
Before he even noticed Kalt’s presence, his body and neck were separated, and he just fell to the floor or into the water with a plop.
Even though their physical abilities have increased compared to ordinary people due to receiving magical energy, most of them are placed in the sewers because they have received magical energy for less than a year.
Even if you think about the strength of each person, it is only enough to easily kill an E-class monster alone.
Meanwhile, the one who is slaughtering them is the Kalts.
He is a man who subjugated a greater demon than the leader they uphold.
No matter how numerous they were, there was an unbridgeable gap between them and the Kalts.
And if you’re scattered in the sewer and can’t even follow Kalt’s movements.
Even if the massacre carried out by the Kalts was just a simple task, it would be no different.
Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut again.
People in the Colosseum.
Every single one of those who tried to sacrifice Nellis, Scarlett, and Aria to Mine.
Kalt’s sword cut off the heads of the demon worshipers.
Blood from the severed necks of fallen devil worshipers flows into the sewer.
The sewers of the gambling city were gradually turning red.
