Episode 257
Episode 93. Seruka Subok (7)
Natalie was the victor in the contest of strength. As Natalie pulled the chain sword with both hands like a rope, Ha Qila’s center of gravity shifted.
baek!
Natalie’s elbow attack, which used the power of pulling the chainsword, hit Hakila’s clown. A heavy, dull blow sounded.
[Keook!]
Under normal circumstances, it was an attack that would at least knock you unconscious.
However, Hakila’s body strength, which became a demon, far exceeded that of a human.
Natalie didn’t expect Hakila to fall after taking such an attack. She hit Hakila’s whole body with a series of headbutts and intermittent kicks.
The chainsword was tangled like a skein and could not be used. Hakila staggered for a moment and spat out handfuls of purple blood.
“It’s a bit right, so you remember the old days?”
[Fhe mad bitch.]
Su-wook!
At that moment, a tentacle-like spine protruded from Hakila’s back and aimed at the nape of Natalie’s neck. Natalie let go of her chainsword, drew the dagger, and slashed the thorns.
The spines attached to the tentacles possessed tremendous strength. On the other hand, Natalie’s dagger was not made by Serucana or Orihalcon.
The aura-clad dagger shattered helplessly and sparks flew. Natalie quickly twisted her head to avoid the thorn, then hit Hakila in the face with her elbow again.
The chain sword that had been tangled was released with a cheerful sound. Natalie somersaulted backwards to gain distance from Hakila.
“Why do things like that come out of my body?
I feel bad.”
Hakila let out a grim laugh and sprinted across the floor. Its tongue was long enough to look like a water snake.
[You know, I always tried to find and kill you someday.]
“I agree. And…
Hakila jumped up. It was because of the Aura Blade that Yuma fired from the other side of the castle wall. Sword Eye was open.
Gee profit!
A sharp piercing sound cut off half the roof of the building on which Hakila stood.
“Ouch! damage!”
“Aaaaaaa!”
The soldiers watching their fight screamed in horror.
The ability to cut off the roof of a building in one blow was something they had never heard of or seen before.
At the same time as the roof collapsed, Natalie extended her chainsword high into the sky. Hakila, who was in the air, tried to defend himself, but the chainsword cut him off.
The chainsword wrapped around the hakila suddenly became tense. The chain sword ripped off Hakila’s flesh at random.
[Kwaaaaagh!]
The messed up Hakila spun in the air and landed in front of Natalie. The impact cracked the stone roof.
“I told you to lower your head if you saw Hoeju.”
said Natalie, brushing her bangs. Purple blood flowed from her chainsword that stretched out on the floor, and Hakila trembled as she lay face down.
[Puhehehe!]
Suddenly, Hakila laughed and raised her head. Hakila’s body, which had been torn to pieces, was rapidly regenerating.
Yuma, who was on the wall, leaped and stood next to Natalie.
[You believe in your lover so much, Natalie.]
“You are the one who believes in the power of demons and is so dissatisfied. Seeing that the muzzle is still open.”
Natalie swung her chainsword at the fallen Hakila with a nonchalant face. Then, three thorn tentacles sprouted from Hakila’s back and blocked the chain sword.
‘He doesn’t back down even after seeing me.’
Hakila was the one who saw Yuma fight Cherkin firsthand. Even so, there were only three things that didn’t shrink at all.
There are no regrets in life, or there is a corner where you believe in your own strength. It was most likely two or three of them.
Hakila slowly rose and thrust her tentacles towards the two of them.
blah blah
The thorn split vertically as if the skin was peeling off. All four thorns split like that, and inside were eyeballs.
‘I’m sorry!’
Yuma hastily reached out and covered Natalie’s eyes.
[Even if you’re strong, you’re only a lowly human being!]
Hakila’s red eyes and eyeballs in the tentacles of thorns radiated sharp light.
But that was it. Natalie was not affected by Yuma’s eyes thanks to Yuma’s blindfold, and Yuma’s appearance was fine even when facing the evil eye head on.
It was a result that even Yuma hadn’t thought of. He was trying to get out of the influence of the magic eye by focusing his mind for a moment.
[You bastard, why are you not shocked at all…
Huh! That…] The tentacle shrank toward Hakila. Hakila opened her mouth slightly and pointed her finger at the nape of Yuma’s neck.
[Why is Marilace hanging around your neck!]
What Hakila pointed to was Yuma’s necklace. A necklace you stole from Empey. ‘Marilace’ was the name of the artifact.
Seeing Hakila’s bizarre reaction, Yuma narrowed her eyes and let out a small smile.
“what.”
Hwareuk!
The summoned Arilla cut off two of Hakila’s tentacles. Yuma decided not to kill Hakilla right away. It’s because it seems like there’s quite a lot of information to spit out if you lose.
[Chaaaaaaaagh!]
The mass of thorny tentacles that fell off was oxidized in an instant. Hakila screamed and distanced herself from Yuma.
The severed thorny tentacles showed no signs of regenerating. Hakila felt the burning pain in the affected area and looked at Yuma’s sword with a devastated face.
Of course, Yuma had no intention of giving Hakila any room. He used his swift and quickly approached Hakila, then cut off the other two tentacles as well.
“I need to explain what a marilace is. What is that ‘ritual’ that you ruined? If you want to die gracefully.”
Hakila activated the Mystic Eye again, but in vain. That evil eye didn’t work on Yuma at all. It is because the demon possessed by Ha Kila’s body became the servant of Mpey.
In the underworld, there were four demon lords created by Amanzo, the demon god. They each bear the name of Galos Empei Good Nyakl.
They administered the four directions of the underworld, and Empei was the ruler of the southern underworld. And the demons who made a contract with Hakila were the advanced demons of the southern part of the underworld.
As long as Yuma had Marilelace, the demonic eyes of the demons from the south of the Underworld were of no use.
Although Empey had been deprived of her status as a demon king by Amanzo’s order, the influence of the items that belonged to Empey remained in effect forever.
This is because Marilace is, to be precise, not an item of Empei, but a property of the King of Southern Demons.
Therefore, the position of Demon King in the southern part of the Underworld was currently vacant, and Yuma, who owned Marilace, was the closest to the position.
Hakila looked as if the world had been lost.
The Yuma in front of me wasn’t even wearing Marilace around her neck, she was even holding the demonic sword Amura. From the point of view of the demon, the hierarchy is so high that it cannot be compared with the high-level demon possessor.
[This can’t be like this. Even though I gave up my body and soul, all I did was sign a contract with a high-level demon!]
“Hakila, stop talking nonsense and bite your teeth tight.”
said Natalie, punching Hakila in the face. Hakila was so disturbed in her head that she felt no pain even when beaten.
“Yuma, why are you so crazy?”
“You have to ask about that now.”
“I guess I’ll have to beat it right before I die.”
Natalie was not the only one holding a grudge against Hakila.
It was acceptable to encourage the division of the rose society, but it was absolutely unforgivable to destroy Dahn’s spirit with drugs and write loneliness to Yuma.
Puck puck puck…
The assault didn’t last very long. Hakila didn’t immediately regenerate the injury as before, allowing all of Natalie’s attacks.
The will to live was completely broken.
“Stop it, Natalie. It looks like he will die without being able to dig up information like this.”
“Why do you suddenly feel so lethargic after recovering well like a monster until just now?”
Hakila stood there, like a dead man, speechless.
“Hakila wake up. Before I really kill you.”
Hakila’s body began to melt as Natalie said as she clutched her chainsword. Her body melted and purple smoke flowed out.
“What is this…
A puff of smoke gathered in front of the two of them. As if a sculpture was created, the smoke gradually took shape.
It was the main body of the high-level demon possessed by Hakila. The demons completely absorbed Hakila and revealed its true form, judging that it was no longer worth using by the contractor.
[Whoa.]
“Ha… what is it? This.”
That high-level demon was floating in the air, and it looked exactly like a dog.
No, not a dog, but a puppy would be more appropriate. A puppy with black, fluffy fur and small wings.
There was no law that required a demon to be intimidating or monstrous, but the demon in front of him took an overly cute shape.
[Welcome to the owners of Marileis and Awola for the first time. I’m called Rakir, a high-ranking demon from the southern underworld… Kuek!]
Cute or not, demons were demons. Yuma didn’t listen to the greeting and kicked him.
The demon who introduced himself as Rakirra fell down to the roof and then came back in front of the two, flapping his wings.
[He has a rough personality befitting the underworld. There’s nothing more I can do to be my lord, I’m just satisfied.]
“My lord? Anybody?”
[I can give you any information you want, my lord. Please reap me.]
“I don’t have a hobby of reaping offspring of the demons.”
[Listen. You will be tempted. I can give my lord far more information than Hakilah. Demons that the lord can easily deal with, demons that must be avoided, etc… There will be no better advisor or guide than me.]
“What?”
[Use me to rule the Underworld!]
Rakir said, sticking his chest out all the way.
Yuma and Natalie were so full of energy that they were speechless.
[I’ve lived in the underworld for over a thousand years, but I’ve never heard of a human being able to possess Aquila and Marilace. I saw potential in the lord. The possibility of ruling the underworld…]
Rakir continued his lengthy explanation for a while. It was an absurd story that made the listener’s mind go blank.
The content mainly focused on what kind of powers can be used if you acquire the authority of the demon king of the southern part of the underworld and what you can do if you obtain the power of a demon god.
Also, Rakir did not hesitate to reveal his personal desires. Someday, when Yuma becomes the ruler of the underworld, he wants to live with a sense of pride and a place to live.
It was a demon with a novel personality that he had never experienced before.
[Isn’t that wonderful? The lord becomes the ruler of the underworld and I become the demon king!]
Yuma shook his head and kicked Rakir out again. I wanted to serve him as a meal for Amoulah right away.
However, it seemed necessary to listen to the story before killing it. Rakir worked hard this time, moving his wings and returning.
[Ah, look at my mind. By the way, my lord, you should go to the dungeon in Seruca Castle as soon as possible.
His consciousness is ruined… but he seems to wake up.]
“What do you mean by that?”
[A low-level Demon possessor who was the leader of the Knights of Amal. Hakila was turning him into a weapon.]
