Chapter 259. 2022.07.26
.
Aidan looked at Mabel, who was perplexed. After thinking hard for a moment, Mabel cautiously spoke out.
“If you want to break the ban, tell me anytime. I’ll release you right away. Understand?”
Aidan nodded. Then, as if relieved, Mabel’s expression brightened slightly.
Aidan thought.
‘Though that won’t happen.’
Does a lovely lover know?
That only the caster and the caster feel comfortable in this strong and absurd contract of subordination that no one can touch.
Rather, it was filled with an irresistible sense of subordination. When I realized the presence of the other person engraved in my soul, my heart felt stiff.
“Aidan. By any chance, you didn’t get sick or anything because the ban remained, right?”
“at all.”
“Then why was it painful when Veron was the owner?”
“Because his intentions were clear. Because he used the taboo to extract the power of the gods and also used it as a chess piece of power.”
Aidan lost his temper and wandered around the battlefield as the so-called ‘Devlin’s dog’.
It was a possession that would be obeyed unconditionally as long as it was ordered, so it would have been inevitable to use it.
The shock and pain of being forcibly extracted and disobeying orders would not have been so important to the people of the Devlica family.
It was Mabel, not the person involved, who was heartbroken by that fact.
“You trash bastard!”
thud! Mabel stomped her feet for no reason, perhaps in a fit of resentment.
It seemed that if he did that, Veron, who had been dragged down to the basement forever, would suffer even a slight blow.
“It was sealed so finely. I should have torn it to pieces.”
thump thump!
After stomping her feet a couple of times, Mabel stammered as hard as she could.
Mabel then raised her head. There was a sudden realization.
omg.
“neck.”
“neck?”
Mabel frowned as Aidan put the words out in his mouth again.
“Veron neck…!”
“ah.”
It was a reserved birthday present that even Aidan had forgotten.
Mabel exclaimed that she would slit Veron’s head and give it as a birthday present.
However, it was impossible to decapitate the already sealed Veron. Mabel looked at Aidan and asked softly.
“Shall we take it out of the basement and swipe it right now? If it’s for you, Aidan!”
“…no.”
“Haha.”
At Aidan’s refusal, Mabel smiled shyly and nodded.
He kept it in his eyes.
Mabel. Yoon Winter.
The only stranger in this world he did not create. However, Aidan cherished and loved Mabel more than any creature he touched.
Unable to touch her, she was also the most unsuitable for this damp and dark prison.
He repeated the obvious fact again.
Weak to the weak and strong to the strong.
Having lived by Mabel’s side for a long time, I was able to take pride in knowing the kind of person Mabel is better than anyone else.
It was Aidan’s purpose to remain by Mabel’s side forever as a pitiful being who was not aware of even though he was a god.
So I had to hide it until the end.
‘Memories have returned.’
If so, Mabel will never be able to abandon the poor god with no memory.
In fact, all the memories of God Ades returned when Veron freed the Golden Emperor except for one. That was the reason why Mabel felt uncomfortable that Aidan’s personality had strangely changed.
His status has fallen and he is not a perfect god, so he cannot use the power of creation, but he is still a god.
Now Aidan had the ability to take Mabel out of this world, but he didn’t.
In addition, if Mabel, who is more precious than this world, wants it, he could give it up even the world, but he couldn’t.
‘I wouldn’t want that.’
Because Mabel doesn’t want it.
Also, as long as Mabel’s precious people exist here, they couldn’t take it away from Mabel.
“…step.”
“….”
“Aidan!”
Deep in thought, Aidan looked back at Mabel belatedly calling him.
Concern flashed across Mabel’s face.
“Let’s leave now.”
“yes.”
While climbing the prison stairs following Mabel, he remembered the girl who suddenly appeared 500 years ago and pulled him to the ground.
Aidan, who was lost in reminiscence, suddenly realized that Mabel was strangely quiet.
Normally, I would have been chattering incessantly.
It was then that they got out of the dungeon completely.
“Aidan. Just three steps this way.”
As the saying goes, let’s take three steps to the place where Mabel is.
Quaang-!
I heard the sound of something smashing behind me.
The sight facing Aidan who turned his head was truly ignorant.
The earth surged up like a wave, then swallowed the prison and threw itself down.
The dungeon that had existed just before disappeared in an instant, accompanied by a tremendous noise that pierced the ears. All that remains is an empty lot.
‘No one was alive in that building anyway…’
Aidan looked back at Mabel calmly.
“Mabel.”
“huh?”
“What have you done?”
“Civil works?”
“…”
Mabel smiled.
Aidan roughly guessed her intentions. When I was lost in thought for a while in the dungeon, I was somehow misunderstanding something with a serious face.
‘For example, I’m suffering from recalling the time when I was tormented by Devlica.’
As long as he has Mabel, the pain of the past is nothing anymore.
Mabel, who was strangely upset, seemed relieved after burying the dungeon.
He came over and grabbed Aidan’s hand and pulled it vigorously.
“Then let’s go get something to eat. Wipe out all the Devlin food warehouses!”
It became her territory, not Devlin, but Mabel, who was unaware of it, led Aidan vigorously.
To Aidan, it was weaker than the wind, but he was led helplessly.
If only to be by your side
He was willing to become a weak god with amnesia and one of the weak things Mabel loved.

Kwa Kwang Bang!
“Ahh!”
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“Save people!”
The footsteps of the Ermano soldiers, who were busily wandering about, gradually slowed down at the unexpected roar and screams that came from somewhere.
The source of the commotion was the vacant lot west of the Devlin Imperial Castle.
“Has war broken out again?”
“Don’t even say such horrible things. You know that. It’s because of the rare monsters.”
“iced coffee. A rare monster?”
Realizing the cause of the commotion, one soldier put on an intelligible expression.
In the first place, it was a mystery how the rare monsters came to participate in the war.
At one point, the rare monsters were biting and throwing Devlin soldiers away, and when they realized that fact, they had already become a tremendous force.
“It was terrifying….”
“Actually, I almost got bitten. So I desperately showed you the pattern of our empire.”
“I managed to live.”
“But I got scratched here. Hey.”
“Crazy…”
There was someone who unintentionally overheard the chatter of the soldiers.
‘Red Prover and his good but bad friends…’
The reputation of rare monsters was widely spread among the soldiers.
The root cause was that communication between rare monsters and humans was impossible.
In Masuragi, rare monsters had intelligence and ego, and they had a language among themselves.
However, since he could not understand the words of humans, it was inevitable that he would bump into Ermano’s soldiers at every turn.
It would have been nice if there was Mabel to intervene at that time, but since she was still in the body of a baby, she had no choice but to reveal herself now that her body had returned to normal.
“The rare monsters aren’t just one, they form a group. Can you deal with them?”
At Oscar’s worried words, Mabel nodded enthusiastically.
“then! Dealing with troublemakers is my specialty!”
With a boast, Mabel headed towards the clearing. Aidan and Oscar silently followed.
“Ahh! Help me!!”
Upon entering the clearing, one of the squires was about to be eaten.
“Stop moving!”
At Mabel’s cry, a rare monster looked back with its mouth wide open.
The red Prover, recognizing Mabel, stepped forward.
On the battlefield, they didn’t have time to see each other properly because they were dealing with Devlin-kun, so it’s been almost 8 years since they talked so closely.
[Humans grow very slowly.]
“What? Are you swearing at me for being short right now?”
[I just told the truth.]
Mabel, who was angry at the moment, glared at the red prober and sighed.
“Anyway, you seem to be doing well. I make a lot of friends.”
The habitat Mabel provided was the private property of the emperor, so other humans could not enter.
Since it was not touched by human hands, it could be said to be a treasure trove of heavenly blessings.
It’s only been 8 years, but the red prober has increased the number of rare monster friends who share their will.
[Because that’s the safest place. However, there was no water recently.]
“It seems there was a drought there too.”
[Is there water now that the bad people are gone?]
“Yes. You will recover slowly.”
[That’s it.]
The red prober looked back at the rare witch holding the squire. The Rare Witchbeast licked his lips and put the squire down.
“Dark hehe. I lived…”
Squire, who was about to be eaten, whimpered and tried to hide behind Mabel, but met Aidan’s eyes and hid behind Oscar.
“But why did the knights try to attack?”
Then, a rare monster other than the red Prover shouted ferociously with the momentum to breathe fire.
[Humans attacked us!]
“Really?”
[That’s right!]
Mabel turned to the squire and he hurriedly reported the situation with a frightened face.
“I and the other squires were in charge of feeding, and we almost got attacked when we approached to feed them. So everyone was ready to attack.”
A human team and a beast team claiming that each other attacked first.
Referee Mabel deliberately became serious. Seriously thinking, Mabel went closer to Squire and whispered softly. To the extent that the demons couldn’t hear it.
“The witches say they’re sorry.”
“If that’s the case…”
Then he immediately shouted inwardly, looking at the red prober.
‘Humans did it wrong. They say they don’t do that anymore?’
[good night. I will accept it.]
It will be a so-called white lie operation.
The two races couldn’t communicate anyway, so only Mabel knew the truth.
Even so, the witches still gathered among themselves and did not relax their guard.
“Demons. The humans here won’t attack you. So don’t be too scared.”
[…Okay.]
It’s not perfect, but I could see that the tense tension between the rare monsters had eased somewhat.
It seems that the misunderstanding about each other has been resolved, so it is time to get to the main topic. It was time to praise the rare monsters who became a major force in this war.
“Thank you for your help. Thanks to you, we were able to win the war.”
Then the red Prover slowly closed his eyes.
[I didn’t help.]
Prover’s red eyes soon opened, filled with Mabel’s image.
[We also live in this land.]
“…Ah.”
A new realization that rare non-human monsters also live in this world.
Not to be outdone by him, the other witches continued to speak.
[The land dried up, the water disappeared, and the people cried out.]
[The prey disappeared and sick things fell from the sky.]
[We also have to protect our land.]
[That’s why we came.]
Everyone fought to protect the world. So the red prober was right when he said he didn’t help.
“You’re right. This world is not only for humans.”
[Yes.]
Red Prover nodded calmly. Mabel suddenly realized that another face she missed was nowhere to be seen.
“But did you leave the baby Prover behind?”
[That guy. I don’t listen to people saying that I have a big body. It’s hard to deal with.]
“It looks like puberty.”
[Come and see for yourself, human.]
“Is that okay?”
[I’ll wait.]
He became the first human to be invited to the realm of demons, but to Mabel, it was just like being invited to a friend’s house.
“Okay, promise-”
“Hee!”
Whether or not the squires are frightened, Mabel, who brushed up on the red prober and got the pinky (?) hanging, photocopying, and stamping, finally backed off satisfactorily.
“How did you come when you came?”
[I did as the rotten grass head man told me.]
The rotten grass head man. It was Casey.
“Then I’ll ask the rotten grass-headed man to go back.”
[Good.]
After discussing how to return to the original habitat, Lisandro hurriedly came running.
“What’s wrong?”
At Oscar’s question, Lisandro nodded.
“Enrique is awake.”
It was the awakening of the sleeping Prince Enrique.
