Chapter 264
—————————————
[Prelude to Counterattack-Collection]
“I am with him individually. I’m going to have a little interview. “Little one, take care of the wounded and evacuate them out of the village.”
“Can’t I do it? I can do it well too…”
“Do you see people getting hurt? “If we don’t help quickly, someone might die.”
Daein persuaded Lily to go out of the village with the wounded.
“…okay.”
Lily glared at the kobold mask and then used airborne objects to simultaneously lift and move the injured people tied to the pillars.
After seeing that, the great man walked towards the kobold mask.
“Then shall we have some honest time?”
“…….”
The kobold mask slowly backed away and looked around desperately. She knew the difference between her skills and the man in front of her.
‘I can’t be treated like this!’
The corpses of the subordinates who had exploded and the magic circle that had stopped working after being damaged by the impact of the explosion were visible.
Fortunately, the enormous amount of magic power and the blood sucked from the sacrifices were still flowing throughout the magic circle.
If so….
‘It doesn’t mean I can’t use it at all. With a little effort… you can use the power of the magic circle!’
She was an excellent wizard.
If I had a little time, I could use the power of the magic circle with enough energy to overcome the crisis.
‘Just a little time…’
“Why? “Are you looking for something?”
The problem was that he doubted whether the man in front of him would give him the time of day.
Jump and jump.
The great man smiled coldly as he walked towards the kobold mask.
“Can I help you?”
From its relaxed appearance, I thought that the Kobold Mask might be able to avoid this situation.
‘You don’t plan on killing me right now. Maybe we can buy time through conversation….’
“How did you know we were here…?”
“That’s what I heard from a reliable source.”
“…Is this what the old troll said?”
An old man who summoned the second Hellgate in Cairo.
Although she had no idea that he, who was the master’s favorite, would betray her, she continued talking to continue the conversation.
“What else did he say about us?”
The great man shook his head.
“I heard about your location from someone other than that old man.”
“…Does this mean there is a traitor within us?”
Pretending to be having a conversation, she naturally put her right hand behind her back and slowly made the hand sign.
Slurp. Slurp.
As the fingers moved, white runes were slowly drawn in the air.
‘The opponent has excellent mana sensitivity. Control the magic circle as carefully as possible…’
Cold sweat flowed from the face beneath the mask.
The great man stared at that figure and said with a grin.
“Why should I tell you? “I’m the one who needs to hear your story over you.”
The great man took a step closer as if warning him.
“Now wait a minute!”
At that moment, the kobold mask took off the mask it was wearing.
Inside the mask, a beautiful blonde girl’s face was revealed.
A pretty girl with a fairly young face who appears to be in her mid-teens.
The moment he saw her face, the great man stopped for a moment. The expression hardened slightly. He tried to remain calm, but it was clear that he was surprised.
“Hmm…”
At that moment, the girl cried out in joy.
‘also!’
“I want to talk to you more…”
The girl’s voice was much softer. She lowered her eyes slightly and looked frightened.
But inside, it was different.
‘The organization has determined that this man is…’
Landlord.
The thief who stole the Child of Fire and the one who destroyed half of the organization’s headquarters.
He was a person who could be said to be a bitter enemy of Pandemonium.
Naturally, Pandemonium thoroughly investigated Daein when it came to Earth.
‘Because he had no family and all the people he was close to were monsters, the plan to kidnap and threaten the people around him was impossible…’
At the time of the First Gate, Daein, who lost his entire family, was an orphan, and the Whitehouse Guild he belonged to was the world’s strongest in name and reality. It was a group of superhumans.
In addition, Korea has a high level of security, so it was not easy for the organization to sneak in.
Pandemonium had been quietly keeping an eye on the landlord until now, as it could only strengthen its guard if it was discovered that it was accidentally touched.
‘But we have discovered your weaknesses by observing you over the past year.’
The great man asked her.
“story? “What do you want to talk about?”
“I’m… fourteen years old.”
She spoke much lower than her original age. At the same time, he continued to make hand signs behind his back.
Slurp, slurp….
The damaged magic circle slowly began to be restored and transformed to suit its purpose.
“Fourteen years old? Suddenly?”
The great man’s expression became strange.
The girl’s expression hardened when she saw that expression.
Are you saying that this guy is 14 years older than me?
Such trash….
“Oh, no, my birthday hasn’t passed yet, so I’m thirteen…” As
I lowered my age by one year, the great man’s expression became grotesquely distorted. Soon, the great man sighed lightly.
“Then you’re not much different from the kid.”
The girl interpreted those words completely to her advantage.
She was sure.
‘First weakness. This guy is a pedophile.’
It’s a misunderstanding that would make people grab the back of their necks and faint if they heard about it.
But that was Pandemonium’s judgment.
Otherwise, I couldn’t understand why that man always had the fire child with him.
The great man asked.
“Then were you also subjected to some kind of experiment?”
“huh. I too was subjected to cruel experiments. So I had no choice but to do this.”
“Tsk…”
The great man looked at the poor girl and shook his head.
‘Second weakness. He is weak to the weak.’
Things I learned while following the landlord’s movements for nearly a year.
By digging into these two weaknesses, I was able to get out of this situation.
‘No, it’s not just about escaping…’
The girl’s eyes softened.
‘We might be able to completely turn things around.’
The hands behind his back had almost completed the runes. The magic circle was now under her control.
Srrrrrrr….
All of the humans sacrificed have left the village, but the energy accumulated so far is already enormous.
‘This is not just a magic circle.’
A being that has already swallowed two villages and more than half of the third village.
It was a monster that was no different from a living creature in itself.
The girl slowly got up. The man’s pressure on her had also eased considerably.
“Every day was a terrible day. Torture, experimentation and brainwashing continued…. There wasn’t a single day when I didn’t want to die.”
The girl looked at the man with tearful eyes. Now, instead, she actively walked towards Daein.
The great man quietly looked at the figure.
“But as I researched you and learned that you took the fire child and lived happily ever after… my heart also wavered a little.”
“…….”
Tears welled up in the girl’s eyes.
“I know that I have committed a sin that cannot be washed away. But I did it all because I was told to do it. “I have no choice but to survive… Can you please forgive me?”
The girl wiped away her tears and fell into the man’s arms.
“Save me like the child of fire….”
“…….”
The great man remained silent. He didn’t see the angry expression on the girl’s face as she buried her face in his chest.
‘I’ll make you my slave forever!’
“Please…”
The girl slightly pulled away again and looked directly at Daein.
The girl raised her tiptoes.
He slowly approached the man’s lips with his red, lustful lips.
There was a powerful charm spell on the girl’s lips that could never be escaped once cast.
“Haa…”
The girl slightly opened her lips and let out a shallow breath. The moment her and Daein’s faces almost overlapped
…
Daein’s palm pushed the girl’s lips away.
Contrary to the girl’s expectations, the man was frowning as if he was displeased.
“Grandma. Do you do it in moderation?”
“…what what?”
“Eva Peron. 120 years old. A mid-level executive of Pandemonium. “I heard that this old witch has a bad taste for disguising herself as a pretty girl using magic.”
“How…”
Daein looked down at her with a freezing cold gaze. From his mouth, information about the girl was revealed in detail.
“Experiment? torture? Brainwashing? “It seems like it’s easy to say because you haven’t experienced it before…”
The great man’s eyes shone coldly.
“Shall I give you a proper experience from now on?”
“!!”
Whick!
The girl hurriedly stepped back and summoned all her strength.
In an instant, her once firm skin became wrinkled, her straight back bent, and she turned into an ugly old woman.
The witch glared at the great man with bloodshot eyes.
“You idiot! You should have killed me when you had the chance! “I will make you regret your arrogance sorely!”
Wooooow!
A witch who has lived by stealing people’s blood for over 100 years. The witch controlled the power of the magic circle and attacked the great man.
“I’m dead!”
Intangible energy attacked Daein from all directions.
At that moment, the Heavenly Demon Godap unfolded itself like a shield and defended against the attack.
Burbububbung!
Even though heavy drinking could be heard right next to him, the great man’s expression was calm.
No, rather, it seemed unsatisfactory.
“Is there more?”
He walked slowly and put pressure on the witch. The witch screamed, waving her hair like a crazy bitch.
“The only way to show off is now!”
Wooooow!
The magic circle vibrated even louder, and attacks poured in from all directions.
Burbubububbung!
An invisible, intangible energy attacked Daein from all directions. At the same time, the witch mumbled a spell and cursed all sorts of things.
Sparring….
But as soon as all the curses touched the great man’s body, they melted away like snow.
“Why why…!”
Daein clicked his tongue as if it was obvious.
“Do you think you will be cursed by a witch who is not even the devil? “The level of artifacts I have collected so far is too high for that.”
Then he takes a step closer and asks.
“Is there more? “Is this it?”
“Iike!”
The great man approached the witch at a steady pace. Seeing that, the witch felt an enormous psychological burden.
The witch drew more power from the magic circle.
Burbububbung!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Sarrrrr….
But none of the attacks worked and all curses were nullified. It was impossible to even slow down the great man’s steps for a moment.
The witch’s complexion turned pale.
‘It’s much stronger than I expected. It’s impossible to escape like this….’
“Is there anything else? Is it over now? really?”
The great man deliberately took his time.
In fact, he was waiting.
May the witch pushed to the edge choose the last resort.
Like right now.
“Kyaaaaa! “I thought I would die in a place like this!”
Wooooow!
At that moment, the entire magic circle vibrated strongly and an enormous amount of energy began to be absorbed into the witch’s body.
“Kyaaaaaaa!”
The witch’s body slowly rose into the air. The magic power that soared from the magic circle on the ground seeped into the witch’s body.
I’m crying.
The witch’s body, absorbing energy like a wet sponge, gradually turned transparent. All of the bones and internal organs were visible, and soon even the bones and internal organs became transparent.
Exciting! Exciting!
However, the witch’s heart stood out clearly and gradually turned purple.
[Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa8444??!!]
It was a bizarre sight.
The boundaries of the witch’s transparent body became blurred to the point where it was no longer difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye.
But inside, a pulsating purple heart
was pulsating, several times larger than an ordinary human heart.
Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!
The witch felt a distant power that surpassed her limits.
[Ahhhh!]
Energy accumulated by sacrificing countless humans.
It was originally a power to be used to open the passage to the demon world, but she accepted it all into her body.
In return, the witch completely lost her human form, but that was only a minor problem.
[I can feel the blood and suffering souls of humans inside me. The demon lords have been monopolizing this delicious food until now…]
The witch licked her lips and looked at the ground.
The humans rescued out of the village by the Fire Child were seen running away.
When I saw that, I felt unbearable thirst and hunger.
[I have to finish eating.]
The moment the witch tried to move,
“It looks like the absorption is complete now.”
-Quaaang!
The great man soared into the air and swung his sword at the witch.
The sword strike was aimed at the witch’s heart.
