Chapter 918,
Chapter 229. Kelliac’s Safeguard (1)
February 25, 1804 Dogma Castle.
“The castle collapsed in Grosh.”
Slurp…
Kelliac said as he filled up his teacup. He looked around at the demon kings sitting in front of him, covering the pale light of the artificial sun coming through the window with his hand.
Ragal Fern Leyla Belgasium Leldro Trinac Sep Mogeles.
While Inse was attacking Grosh, Kelliac had captured the demon lords remaining in Hell.
“No matter how hard I thought it would end so quickly… It’s really just like my friend Kelliac said. What kind of disgrace is that idiot Sakiel even using the field of loss?”
“Sakiel did his best and used all the means he had to make the best decision for the situation. Even so, the enemy was only stronger. Is there any reason to insult her?”
“Aye, yes. I’m sorry Leila. I made a mistake. Anyway, I really don’t get along with him. What did I insult Sakiel so badly? I just said it because I felt sorry for not being able to deal any damage to them even though I had spread the field of loss. Isn’t that right, Kelliac friend?”
Leyla has yet to regain all of her memories of her relationship with Sakiel.
But somehow, insulting her was unpleasant. From Layla’s point of view, even if it wasn’t a forgotten memory, Sakiel as the general secretary was clearly an excellent talent incomparable to Ragal.
“I think you are right and Leila is right. It would have been nice if Sakiel had dealt a little damage to the alliance. However, due to the field of loss and reversal, the only ones affected are the families that Kingelo and I need to recover.”
“Damn it! Zito you son of a bitch! I can’t bear the fact that I’ve been brainwashed by him and have been loyal to him for so many years. So many demons were dying from Inse’s attack, but Jito did not provide any support. How could that be!”
Leldro clenched his fists and shouted. Seb, who was sitting next to him, was also distorted with anger at Zito.
“…as Lord Kelliac said, and as we recall. It’s probably because what Jito wants isn’t victory or prosperity in the realm of Jinma. The monster only wants more pain. The subordinates who risk their lives to protect the realm of demons? Do you think Zito would think of them at all? Right now, even before we realized the truth with Lord Kelliac’s help, we were no different from Zito.”
“There was nothing different about children. What else are you talking about? Because of brainwashing, we were victims. Oh great! Why are your eyes moist again? Don’t cry, get out of shape. If you get revenge, you get revenge.”
Ragal’s allegiance now ran far deeper toward Keliac than Zito. It is the end of the inner weighing. It was because one more layer of brainwashing had been removed and he had admired the ability Keliac had shown so far.
“Sir Kelliac. Since the castle has been captured by Grosh, Inse’s forces will soon enter Hell. It will take a few days because of the remnants of magic and demonic energy left on the battlefield after the Field of Loss is broken, but it won’t take too long. Right now, there are no troops left to stop them.”
At Layla’s words, Kelliac shook her head. She, too, respected Kelliac incomparably to the day they first met.
“Jin Runkandel is a prudent person. So even if the remnants of the field of loss are gone, you won’t go straight into hell. First of all, once the remnants are gone, Jin will use Valeria Hester to look at all the records left on the battlefield. You want to see if there are any records that can confirm inside information.”
Kelliac shifted his gaze to Ragal.
“Perhaps by now you have figured out that you and I held hands.”
“Hmm, you may have recognized that I fought roughly, but did you really want to go through all the records of that messy defense line?”
“It is quite possible. That’s why our family has been trying to annihilate the record wizard somehow. When I was the head of Zipline, my biggest mistake was not being betrayed unexpectedly by my son. I handed over the record wizard to Jin Runkandel.”
“What do you mean by that much? A record wizard.”
“Yes… Perhaps the magic of the Field of Loss would not have greatly threatened Jin even if it had fully unfolded if Valeria Heister had mastered the record magic.”
Kelliac sincerely thought so.
Perhaps not only in the field of loss, but even if the ‘Demon Stone’ is perfected, it may not be possible to damage the record magic that has reached its peak.
“There are three more reasons why Gene Runkandel won’t go straight to Hell. Gippel and Kingelo need time to reorganize. We gathered together to defeat the public enemy, but there is no need to go into hell alone because the Barmal Union has not suffered any damage yet.”
“Looking back, my friend Kelliac is right! Then what is the other one? Oh no I’m a demon who thinks… I want to guess. Mmmmm. That’s… that’s right! These are the eyes of Jito in the holy kingdom!”
Kellyak nodded.
Layla sighed and opened her eyes wide. I couldn’t believe that Ragal had this level of intelligence.
“Jito will definitely try to get his eyes back before Inse enters the realm of Jinma. Of course, Jito is still as strong as a mad monster, but once he gets his eyes back, there really won’t be any variables. Maybe from then on he won’t even care about Helluram? If that happens, the freedom that Zito granted to Kelliac’s friend will end…”
Kelliac’s freedom will end Ragal thought that if that happened, everyone here would die.
‘It seems like Zito isn’t even looking at Kelliac on purpose because of the witch… but if he finds the eye, we’ll probably all be dead. But now I’m not as afraid of death as I used to be. Zito’s cutie Ragal is no more!’
Kellyak nodded.
“…It’s obvious that the person who will go out to the royal house to find Zito’s eyes. The first sword, Paellito. Or Ridolos and Videluce, who followed them. Maybe Zito can send all three of them at once.”
said Seb.
Those three were, in name and reality, the strongest demons in the realm of demons. Among them, only Paellito was known to have reached the peak, but the general opinion was that the other two were also close to it.
“If Jito, that son of a bitch, was really for the real demon world, he would have put those three on the battlefield in the first place. If they were there, there wouldn’t have been so many demons dying like dust.”
“However, if three people compete at the same time, can Inse keep his eyes open? I think it would be difficult even if only two, not three, came out.”
“No, no. When I fought, I realized that even the rich people were not normal. If the captain-level supermen of each faction gather, there will be no answer even if it’s just those three? It’s not just the guys who hit Grosh’s last name, but there’s also Elona Ziple. Although this body sent me to the hospital bed once, my Kelliac friend expected him to be stronger than Paellito.”
“It’s a story that can’t be trusted even when it’s believable. Sir Kelliac’s assessment is probably correct, but no matter how careless such a person is, he’s beaten by you.”
“Ah, if you don’t believe me, ask me later when you meet Elona Ziple. No matter what you do, Layla, you can’t hurt Elona Ziffle as much as I did. Chet.”
“Of course, as Ragal said, royalties are strong. However, when sending the 3rd demon king to the holy kingdom, Jito will surely form a rift throughout Inse. Many of the major demon kings and generals have died, but there are still billions of troops in the realm of demons, so I will make sure that all troops in the world never focus on those three.”
“That is how I see it. Zito will open more cracks in royalties than ever before. And depending on whether Inse protects Jito’s eyes, the game of Jinma War will change completely.”
“Friend Kelliac, then we move fluidly according to the result, right?”
“Yes.”
“What Zito can’t get his eyes back. What is a better picture for us?”
Kelliac smiled instead of answering.
He was thinking it didn’t matter either way.
“Today is just this, but there is a lot of time for meetings. Let Leldraw and Seb go back.”
“Okay.”
“Can we just keep trying to contact the other demon lords until the next call?”
“Let it be. The more demon lords wake up from brainwashing, the more helpful it will be.”
fire of awakening.
The demon lords had blind faith in Keliac’s power to partially lift Zito’s brainwashing. Like the seal of fire, it is a power that gives absolute trust.
However, Kelliac had no intention of properly using the fire of awakening on all the demon lords that Reldro and Seb would bring.
The reason Kelliac is looking for demon lords is only to examine the souls they possess. Among those souls, he is trying to find something useful like old Ziple or Kidard Hall.
The two demon kings withdrew.
“Sir Kelliac.”
“Tell me Leila Belgasium.”
“Brother. No, I’m worried about Paellito-nim.”
“Are you afraid he won’t be able to come back alive after invading the castle?”
“…exactly.”
“You are still a genius. I’m afraid it’s too much for your language. In any case, you don’t seem to know the beings that touched that realm.”
“I know very well that demons who have reached the extreme end have powers that are different from or surpass those of gods. But Paellito is in a state of brainwashing like I was before. It is a state of diminished ability compared to when it was intact in all aspects of strength and mind.”
“That’s why I wonder if there’s no way I can help him.”
“exactly.”
“I was thinking of going to see him from now on.”
There was a strange look in Layla’s eyes.
“Can you use the fire of awakening on Paellito?”
“Until you face it, you cannot be sure. Since he was an extreme demon in the first place, Jito would have specially brainwashed him, so there is a high possibility that my powers will not work right away.”
“Ah… I guess I can.”
“Instead, even if he doesn’t realize the brainwashing. I can provide him with a safeguard.”
“safety device?”
Soon Kelliak stood up and looked down at Leyla.
“Let’s go to Paellito together right now, Layla. Now he won’t see me unless he has a surety like you. I’ll meet you if you use a radical move, but that’s not the right way.”
