Episode 595
595. Side Story Demon God (7)
The city was very big.
Magnificent castle walls.
A solid door.
And beyond that, a huge castle.
Lucifer’s eyes sparkled. It was like a child seeing an expensive toy.
Baal chuckled at that sight.
[Would you like to go in?]
“Of course!”
Lucifer spoke forcefully. Baal weakly hugged Lucifer.
And space leaps forward.
Lucifer and Baal arrived at an alley in the city.
“Utcha.”
Lucifer landed carefully. She pulled Baal’s hand with an excited look on her face.
“come fast.”
[okay. Yes.]
Baal leisurely followed Lucifer.
The first thing that caught Lucifer’s eyes as he left the alley was a lot of people.
Stalls selling many things.
People dance with happy faces. Something explodes in the sky.
“Wow….”
[Good timing. It looks like today is a festival day.]
“Festival?”
[It refers to a day to celebrate and enjoy something. It doesn’t seem to be in your little miniature garden, right?]
“I haven’t had enough freedom to really enjoy anything. I see…”
Lucifer looks at people with sparkling eyes. A joyous atmosphere was conveyed to them.
[Enjoy. The vessel of the transcendent. I brought you here for that purpose.]
“Lucifer.”
[Huh?]
“It’s Lucifer. “Call me by my name.”
Baal laughed.
[okay. Lucifer.]
Lucifer watched the festival with sparkling eyes. I delved into people and checked one by one what they were enjoying and doing together.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
A child passed by and handed Lucifer a candy. Lucifer froze for a moment and looked up at Baal hesitantly.
“This is…”
[It looks like they gave it as a gift because it was a festival.]
“This is similar to the one you gave me.”
Lucifer put the candy in his mouth and smiled with satisfaction.
“delicious.”
After that, Lucifer enjoyed the festival to the fullest. From her perspective, everything was new and amazing. After wandering around for a while, Lucifer grabbed the hem of Baal’s clothes.
“me. Now I want to try that. “Your favorite dish.”
[I understand.]
Baal took Lucifer with him and headed to the restaurant. There was already a long line at the restaurant.
[There are a lot of people.]
Baal confidently stepped forward.
[I just want you to get out of the way.]
“What? “What…”
The person frowned at the sudden words and turned around, then closed his mouth.
Baal was currently disguised as a human.
Ordinary humans could not detect the camouflage.
But even so, I felt a sense of intimidation that I couldn’t hide. People got out of the way without even realizing it. Baal lazily stepped forward as if it were natural.
[Go in.]
“It’s bad.”
[Do you hate it?]
“No. good.”
Lucifer also walked confidently. It was her nature to stand on top.
The two carefully sat down on the wooden chairs. Before long, the waiter brought out the menu, and Lucifer looked at it one by one, his eyes shining.
“Can I eat it all?”
[If you want to.]
Lucifer called the clerk and ordered all the menu items in the restaurant. The clerk took my order, looking at me with a look on my face asking if it was okay.
Before long, dishes started filling the table one by one.
Lucifer lifted his spoon with an excited expression.
“Everything is delicious. “It’s a new taste.”
She had a very happy face. I pondered each dish and enjoyed its taste.
“You don’t have to eat?”
[I’m enjoying it enough. It doesn’t matter.]
“Then I won’t decline.”
Lucifer quickly ate his food.
And those around them began to watch with astonished eyes.
The restaurant is not small. Of course, there were many types of dishes, and Lucifer ordered every dish on the menu.
The amount of food was enough to fill the table.
It was not an amount that a small child could eat. There was more than enough to fill the stomach of ten healthy adults.
However, Lucifer ate half of the dish in an instant. Even then, the spoon didn’t stop.
Lucifer tilted his head as if he was puzzled by the gaze of those around him.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
[Because you are eating too much for your body size.]
“You can increase your body’s calorie consumption. “It’s not that difficult, is it?”
[Not everyone can do it. It would be a strange mystery to them.]
“Hmm.”
Lucifer had a puzzled look on his face, but he didn’t express any doubt and focused on cooking.
Before long, there were only empty plates left on the table.
Lucifer pounded his stomach.
“I was satisfied. very.”
[Then get up from your seat. There are so many people who want our space.]
The two went outside. The festival was still going on. Lucifer looked with a shining face and spoke to Baal.
“Is it okay for me to walk around alone?”
[Why do you do that?]
“I feel like I can’t enjoy it because I’m with you. “People are watching you.”
[Hmm.]
Even if you hide yourself, you can’t help but feel intimidated. Above all, Baal’s size was overwhelmingly larger than that of a strong man. I naturally widened my distance from those around me.
Baal was worried.
There was no problem even if Lucifer walked around alone, but it secretly bothered Baal. It was a feeling that even Baal himself could not understand.
[…what. It won’t matter.]
After much deliberation, Baal finally made a decision. He spread his hands.
Wow.
A chunk of metal fell onto Lucifer’s hand.
[It is human money. With that, you should be able to get around without any problems.]
“Thank you.”
Lucifer ran out with a happy face.
Baal covered himself and watched.
Lucifer, enjoying the festival, looked like an ordinary child his age. Something made Baal feel better.
‘It’s fascinating. ‘I never thought I’d know this feeling.’
Baal watched Lucifer blankly.
And as the night grew deeper.
An incident occurred.
Lucifer entered a secluded alley, followed by men who looked like gangsters. Baal frowned.
His body moves into the alley. Then, a scene unfolded just as he expected.
“Hehehe….”
“Hehe.”
The men took out knives and threatened Lucifer.
“Judging by your attire, you seem like a child of a noble family. You shouldn’t wander around a place like this carelessly.”
“If you follow me quietly, nothing major will happen.”
Greedy eyes turn to Lucifer.
And Lucifer opened his mouth as if his excitement had waned.
“I was wondering why he was following me and it was something like this. Human trafficking. “I gained knowledge, but I never thought I would actually see it.”
“Stop talking nonsense and follow me!”
“It’s a festival, so why not enjoy it? no. “Is this just your entertainment?”
Lucifer snapped his fingers.
“If you really want me, catch me yourself.”
“You girl is talking nonsense!”
The men run out. Lucifer’s body moves.
He quickly lowers his posture and burrows under the man. Just raise your hand and hit your chin.
“Uh huh.”
A man suddenly collapses after receiving a shock to his brain.
Lucifer literally kicked the wall. The body accelerates and attaches itself to the other man.
“hey!”
The man suddenly grabs Lucifer and tries to catch him. Lucifer lowered his stance even further and kicked his foot up. The man’s chin shakes and he falls.
“Uh oh!”
“This kid!”
Other men rush in.
Lucifer throws himself away with a bored expression on his face.
Lucifer is the vessel of the transcendent. At the age of seven, he defeated an immortal with pure skill. It was impossible for an ordinary human to push through simple numbers.
“It’s not fun. “You.”
After defeating the men in an instant, Lucifer came out of the alley with a bored look on his face.
The men staggered to their feet and gritted their teeth.
“Call them all! “Be sure to catch that little boy!”
[I hope you can bear with that.]
The men were startled by the sudden voice.
Baal was already blocking the entrance to the alley.
[It’s a long-awaited festival, so I hope they let you enjoy it.]
“What are you!”
[The trash has touched something valuable. Very unpleasant.]
“What nonsense….”
Baal grabbed the man’s head and gave it strength. An explosion sound rang out. The brain and body were stuck to the wall of the alley.
[I guess I’ll have to pay for that sin.]
“Uh, uhh.”
Baal did not allow them to speak.
One by one, they grabbed their heads and crushed them. Only then did he scream and try to run away, but even that wasn’t allowed. Baal’s presence stopped them.
[Go.]
Quaddeuk.
The last man is crushed.
Baal lightly shook the blood off his hands.
[Didn’t you promise not to go wild?]
[I promised not to pollute you.]
Baal answered leisurely.
[I killed him purely with my own hands. They will return to their original place as a concept of death. I think this is okay.]
[Originally, I would have caused a problem, but… I’ll skip it this time.]
Maria said leisurely.
[I also agree with the garbage disposal.]
Transcendents are not friendly to mortals. What they protected was the concept of space.
[But… it’s fun.]
Maria laughed happily.
[Why did you make such a strange suggestion and that was the reason? I can’t believe such a talent was born in that small miniature garden. It’s truly amazing.]
A perfect vessel of transcendence that even Maria has never seen. It was born from a demon child.
[Originally, we would have trampled on you and taken you into our hands.]
Baal is an old god. It is the enemy of the universe.
Holding the vessel of the Transcendent in his hands was a loss in itself.
Maria, the transcendent one, must obtain her. In the current situation of conflict with God, each transcendent was important.
And it happened to be a good situation. Because Baal promised not to pollute the universe. Even Maria alone could have protected Lucifer.
[But I will not move.]
She planned to leave Baal and Lucifer alone.
[Everything is your choice. Do what your heart tells you.]
[You speak as if you know my heart.]
[I know very well. Baal. A non-intervening old god who did not come from the demon world.]
Maria chuckled.
[I wondered why there was no movement, and I wonder if this was the reason. I never imagined it.]
Maria waved her hand. The pieces of meat are scattered in all directions.
[You put your emotions into killing these insignificant things.]
These are insignificant beings who are literally dust compared to Baal. There was no reason for Baal’s emotions to move when killing them.
But no.
When Baal killed them, I felt quite a bit of discomfort and anger.
[He could have killed it with just a light touch, but he exploded its head with his own hands. I wanted them to feel fear and despair. It means you were worth it.]
[Bullshit.]
Baal said calmly.
[They are worthless to me.]
[Then there must be something that makes them valuable.]
Maria giggled.
[I think you know what that is.]
Baal did not answer. Maria’s eyes lit up.
[It’s a very small shaking… but for a being like you, it’s a very big shaking. But… It is a contradiction.]
A contradiction that can never be reconciled.
[No matter what your choice is, change will happen to you. I wonder what will happen.]
Baal did not answer.
Fireworks explode.
The festival has begun to announce its end.
