Funeral, what should I do if I reincarnate as a demon?

The elderly nobleman not far away was leaning on a cane, bearing the waves of shock from the collision of magic power, and walked towards them:

"Wait a moment? Mahat, are you and your friends planning to tear this down?"

"How could it be... Lord Gluck, I just want to say hello to a unique and promising junior." Mahat retracted the gushing magic power, and then leaned towards Ash and bowed slightly:

"Let's do this for now... If you start at this time, not only Lord Gluck, but also your two subordinates will suffer."

"——Who are the subordinates you said!!"

Being despised was enough to make him angry, and now the arrogant Aura was even more furious, rushing up to compete with him.

However, Ash grabbed her horn and dragged her back forcefully: "Forget it, Aura, let's stop here today. Don't we have something else to do?"

"...That's true." Aura crossed her arms and said something cruel with a look of luck:

"Today, I'm doing this for Ash's sake! And we have something else to do, otherwise I would never let it go like this, but there won't be a next time! If I meet you again next time... you should be prepared to die to pay your sins!"

Aura's arrogant and cruel words made Ash, who was holding her, feel a headache.

After all, her words sounded like something that a hooligans who would be chased and beaten would say... Maybe it was because he said such words that he was chased and beaten?

In short, he felt very embarrassed now, and even wanted to pretend that he didn't know Aura, and Mahat...

"You have a strong self-esteem." Mahat just responded indifferently as if mocking, and ignored the guy who was dragged away by the corner by the quickening pace of Ash.

And in the process of Ash dragging Aura, it was smoother than ever before, and the resistance at the beginning was much smaller than expected.

This also made him suddenly realize that this guy was definitely sure that he would catch her, so he said harsh words over there, and he looked arrogant as if he wanted to kill the other party in a one-on-one fight.

This made him feel inexplicably annoyed that he should have known not to catch her just now, and should have seen how she would end up... He just felt that he caught her too early.

"What are you thinking? You look so agreeable... How long are you going to hold my horn?!"

Aura, who was being carried by the horn, just left Mahat's range and couldn't help but slap his hand away, and said arrogantly: "If you hadn't stopped me, I would have made him look bad!"

"Then I won't... Forget it, anyway, let's do the serious things first."

He wanted to stop her and let her try again quickly, but he felt that Aura would definitely not go, and he would even have to quarrel with him, and he would only be in trouble.

So he simply stopped talking and wisely said no more.

Line, who didn't know the truth, clapped her hands at this moment, and praised expressionlessly: "As expected of Lord Aura, he is really amazing."

"Huh, do you need to say more? He said he was lucky."

Aura shook his head proudly, and deliberately flicked the ponytail that fell naturally on his shoulders.

This made Ash hesitate for a while, and finally he just reached out and rubbed Linie's head, then completely gave up complaining and continued to go to the battlefield to do serious business.

...........................

...........................

A high platform created by magic and hidden by illusion near the battlefield far away from the previous fortress city.

While Aura was collecting dying soldiers, Ash, who was bored and forced to accompany her, suddenly remembered Mahat's words "It's about time now" and his speech that he wanted to understand "guilt", as well as the words and deeds of the old noble he "liked" and even called him an adult.

This series of situations, plus Aura's words when he came to the battlefield, Mahat had served the city among humans for more than 30 years - this made him connect these things, and immediately had a bold guess.

"Mahat... It's okay, running into humans and serving humans on purpose, is it to..." He muttered to himself, feeling that he seemed to have discovered the fundamental reason for Mahat's strange behavior.

But at this time, Aura suddenly slapped his thigh, pointed to the soldiers in the distance who were fighting fiercely with their opponents, and said excitedly:

"——Ash! That's good! I was very optimistic about him three years ago. Do you think he will die? Yes?! I really want to add it to my collection~! The opponents seem to be evenly matched, maybe they will die together!"

"... Can you be quiet and don't disturb me when I'm thinking about serious things?"

Although his face was full of depression, he still followed her hand and looked at the two soldiers rushing to the front of the battlefield in the distance.

The two fought quite fiercely and were both seriously injured. They might not be able to survive tonight.

But he didn't care about this at all now. When he was dealing with Aura, his thoughts had already unconsciously flown to the urban fortress he passed earlier.

As the night grew darker, the chaotic battlefield finally stopped fighting temporarily and resumed the confrontation between the two armies.

However, at the end of the day, it was clear that there were many casualties on the battlefield, but Aura only carefully selected a dozen blood-stained soldiers.

After casually giving them an order to protect themselves under the high platform, she lay down on the ground very casually... Of course, to be precise, it was on Ash's lap who was cross-legged on the ground.

"Master Ash, I'm not polite anymore." Line followed suit and followed her without any politeness at all and lay down on the other side.

"....You guys are really more willful than the other."

He touched the girl with his left hand and the lolita with his right hand, enjoying the roughly the same but slightly different touch of the pink hair. However, because the two of them could not move, Ash could only silently close his eyes and exercise all night long. Magic, wait for the passage of time.

And the next day, when it was just dawn.

The two girls were also stretching and woke up, so he excused himself from the confused two people on the pretext of something he cared about... and flew back to the previous fortress city of Vieze.

Because he had almost understood the situation, the reason why Mahat served humans and lived with humans in that city was obviously because he wanted to understand human emotions.

So will Mahat succeed? After 30 years of hard work, whether it can succeed... He is really curious.

After all, this has a lot to do with his future plans. In addition, humans find themselves with demons, which is also a hidden danger before the plan is implemented.

.............................

The interior of the urban fortress, which has double walls and is protected by many towers, is bustling with people in the morning, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going.

Ash broke through the barrier restricting height, flew over the city at high speed, and quickly found the target person.

At this moment, the striking demon man, Mahat, was walking together with his Lord Gluck, the old nobleman holding a cigarette, on a quiet street in the corner of the city, causing him to quickly fall to the ground. Go up, in front of the two of them.

This sudden visitor from the sky made the two of them stop and look up subconsciously.

Gluck, the old nobleman holding a cigarette, smiled at this moment: "Your friend is here to see you again."

"Not really a friend." Mahat shook his head slightly, but looked at Ash with a playful smile: "You actually showed up at this time... Did you find anything?"

"Probably, after all, you revealed a lot of information."

"Really? But actually I plan to implement it after a while, but now... it's about the same. After all, Master Gluck is already old." Mahat looked at the old man beside him with a smile and said slowly A farewell whisper:

"Lord Gluck, although the time I spent with you was short-lived, it was priceless to me, so - I decided to destroy it all with my own hands."

"As the last words, it's really disgusting... But I think so too, you are really a good bad friend." Gluck seemed to have expected something, and was not at all afraid of this sudden statement, even in the Mahat looked surprised and said with a smile:

"What are you surprised about? Mahat, we have been dealing with each other for thirty years. You will help me be the executioner in the darkness and help me gain real power, all for this day, right?"

"...Because rather than killing strangers, killing friends I have known for many years and the prosperous city I built with my own hands can help me understand the concepts of malice and guilt better."

Mahat unhurriedly stated his true purpose of serving the city, and then looked at Ash again and suggested: "Can you wait for me for a while?"

"What are you waiting for? Aren't you already activating your magic?"

Ash, who was always vigilant, took two steps back as he spoke, because——the floor tiles under Mahat's feet were rapidly turning into gold.

Even the protective spell that automatically appeared next to Ash was eroded and collapsed automatically the moment he touched it.

Such a strange situation made him feel like an ordinary person encountering sulfuric acid, and he was afraid to avoid the spreading gold.

But as a nobleman with little strength and even little fighting ability, Gluck had no intention of escaping. He just stood there and silently took a deep puff of his cigarette, then looked at Mahat and said with a smile:

"Mahat, you are my important friend, and you are also a hopeless villain like me, so... one day, you will definitely receive retribution."

"Really?" Mahat nodded slightly, and feeling the murderous intention directed at him, Ya Xiu intervened in their conversation without warning, and waved his hand towards Mahat: "For example - Say something like this.”

The thunder of gravity shot out along the arm.

The ground cracked in the face of the abnormal gravity, but Mahat threw out the cloak on his shoulders in this flash of lightning, and it turned into a wavy golden shield in just an instant.

Boom! ! !

In an instant, Mahat was pushed back more than ten meters, and the two houses behind him collapsed under the influence of the abnormal gravity wave caused by the power thunder, splashing smoke and dust all over the sky.

However, when the smoke and dust dissipated, the thin golden shield was not damaged at all.

Even the damaged land was only the part that failed to turn into gold. Not even a single floor tile was damaged in the rest of the area.

This made Ash unable to help but smack his lips: "It's amazing. These golds are as indestructible as the rumors say, or is my level limited?"

"I heard that you are also from the Great Demon Clan. You are really powerful." Gluck, whose lower body was turned into gold but stopped turning into gold temporarily because of his interference, looked at him curiously and said casually: "But it's better to run away, okay? He is more powerful than you think."

"Maybe I feel it, but... you are quite leisurely."

"Because I have lived enough. I was a villain who should have died long ago. What difference does it make if I die early or late?" Gluck seemed very indifferent, but he also took two more puffs of cigarettes in the process.

On the other side, Mahat, who restored his cloak to its original state and turned it into a golden spear the next moment, walked slowly towards the two people on the ground that was quickly turning into gold:

"To be honest, I don't really understand why you came back again... Do you want to die?"

"No, I just wanted to verify my guess. It would be bad if I didn't deal with the human who found me with the demons... But from the current situation, it seems that there is no need to take action."

"In that case, what are you still doing here? I have more important things to do now and I don't have time to waste on you."

"Okay, then see you later. In addition, Mr. Gluck, right? Have a good trip~"

In order to avoid accidentally turning into gold by touching the ground, Ash, who was always suspended in the air, didn't plan to stay for long. He waved his hand without looking back and disappeared into the sky in a blink of an eye.

"What an interesting person, don't you want to chase him?" Gluck smiled and looked up.

"He's flying too fast. If he really wants to escape, it's hard to catch him. Maybe he's using gravity to push back? Normal flying magic can't be that fast." Mahat just glanced at the sky, and the gold under his feet spread again.

"Really? Then we really have to say goodbye, Mahat, these years have been a wonderful journey."

"I think so too, Lord Gluck." Mahat nodded with a smile, and watched the gold on Gluck's body gradually spread over his head.

It was also after Gluck was completely turned into gold that the surrounding streets turned into gold instantly, almost like a tsunami of gold.

In just a few breaths, the entire city fortress was completely turned into gold.

And the pedestrians on the street, none of them realized what was happening, and they still maintained the expressions of their daily lives the moment before, and were turned into shining gold by this magic.

...........................

...........................

The city fortress, which was still noisy the moment before, fell into a dead silence in an instant.

Every blade of grass, every brick and every tile in the city, including humans, turned into shining gold.

The only one who could still move was the instigator - Mahat.

He strolled in this familiar street, but he was always frowning and thinking about something.

But before he could come up with an answer, Ash, who had already left, came back again, observing the surroundings in mid-air, and asked curiously: "What is the result now?"

"... You really dare to come back, you."

"Don't be so stingy."

"... It's hard to say." Mahat closed his eyes as if he was feeling something carefully: "At the moment when this place turned gold, I did feel something, and there was an unspeakable emotion in my heart, but... it was only for a moment."

"Really? Well, you can figure it out if you think about it." Ash was a little concerned about the emotion at that moment, but he knew that he didn't know what it felt like, so he naturally didn't ask any more questions.

This was a completely expected expression, but Mahat couldn't help but be concerned: "What do you mean?"

"In your 600 years of life, you have never been exposed to anything about emotions. You have lived in violence and killing. Now you have only been exposed to emotions for 30 years... So, even if you were a normal human, you would not be able to understand emotions."

"No? It should be, right?" Mahat frowned, and seemed not to accept this statement.

"No, think about it yourself... It's not a simple matter of time, but your outlook on life and values ​​have been fixed before this. Just like if humans are cultivated into murderous villains by the environment and external factors from the beginning, there is basically no hope for change afterwards."

"Basically? In other words, there is still hope?"

"A little bit, after all, nothing is absolute, but at least from the current situation, you are a failure."
