The Devil Who Grants Wishes

“…But if I return to this state, I will lose my voice in the denomination. No matter how badly I try not to enter Montpelio for a while, the high priests of the denomination will not even listen.”

“Do I look like a vessel to be afraid of?”

“Of course not. But the condition of the contract was to stop the sect from coming until the Magi escaped from the inhabitants of the city, right?”

I pretended to be a contract and passed all the troublesome things to the bishop of the Exorcism Priesthood, but the bishop is reacting too sensitively to the word contract, which I roughly lied.

Well… Well, the bishop is definitely right.

Even if I look at it, it is unlikely that I will listen to the bishop, who has fled after the denomination of the Seraphia Church has suffered a devastating defeat.

No, isn’t it a devastating defeat?

‘These guys have completely lost their memories.’

Among the exorcist priests who came to Montpelio, Bishop Lee was the only priest who remembered what happened.

As the rest will all go back to before they were attacked by me, from the point of view of the high priests, there is no way for the bishop to forgive him because he is running away from the enemy without ever fighting the devil and even telling lies.

The number of voices is at a cute level, and punishment close to the extreme is probably the average.

If that’s the case… it would be good if all the exorcism priests were witnesses, not just the bishop.

“understood.”

“I’m glad you understood, if I go alone, it won’t be convincing, so at least you-“

“I’ll keep the priests’ memories intact.”

“…What?”

As you can see from my very vivid memory of when I was a human when I entered the body of the demon Faust, even if my body changes a little, as long as I don’t touch my soul, I will retain the memories of me.

In other words, if the time retrograde magic is applied only to the body, not the soul, there is a very high probability that the priests will not forget what has happened to them. No high level, almost certainly not.

And the priests who keep their memories intact will be great witnesses.

Oh, I just came up with an idea for a moment, but it’s surprisingly good.

Those who have been hit with Dementia have no choice but to reset the whole thing as their souls are also destroyed, but except for that, the rest of them will just have to revive their bodies.

“No matter how true it is, if you say it to yourself, it’s just a vain statement. When there is only one witness, even if the testimony is true, it is questionable, but if there are three witnesses, even if the testimony is false, it can be made to be believed to be true.”

“That… what…”

To be honest, I’m a little anxious.

It was because I thought that I could turn back time anyway, so I just dealt with the priests too much.

In the line of immortality, he used virtually every means to test Faust’s real-world ability.

How to control magical power in practice, how much power must be applied to endanger life, how far can it last if it only shocks the mind without inflicting any trauma or internal damage, and magic and skills that interfere with the mind Everything, such as how to control it, how skills that have not been used since possessing Faust’s body work, etc.

And the state of the priests who suffered such things… Of course, there is no need to say anything. When I saw the priests, my face frowned and I couldn’t look at them properly.

“Take the priesthood you suffered as a witness. Then you will rather become the hero who saved the faithful from the devil.”

But I can’t help it.

It’s very sad to be revived with the terrible memories intact, but if not, wouldn’t it be repeated indefinitely by the denomination’s invasion of this city again, causing a riot and kicking it out again?

Such a future must be stopped.

It’s sacrificing cows for the sake of the generations.

And above all else, if there was another demon here, not me, it would have been terrifying, terrifying.

You should thank me.

“That’s too cruel-“

“Are you telling me that now?”

Yeah, it’s definitely not cruel.

But these guys were originally here to kill me, right?

Where in the world is there anyone who can bring back those who have committed an attempted murder?

Of course, I admit that it’s very cruel, like ptsd or something, but that doesn’t mean we can’t wait to see the denomination invade this city again and burn the residents.

I’m going to have to move because of Lucia’s recuperation, but while I’ve been looking elsewhere, if the townspeople are massacred in groups, would my bed be disturbed?

“——Yeah, I forgot because it felt like I was talking to someone for a moment.”

The bishop looked me in the eye and then said so.

Well, I’m glad you understood.

………….

It’s not perfect yet, but it seems to have been fixed for the first time.

The bodies of the priests who ruled the streets of the city, whether they lost their ego, went crazy, or fell into nightmares, were now completely wiped out.

Of course, blood shed by priests, fragments of broken structures, etc. are still scattered around the city, but where are these?

[…really revived.]

[Didn’t the report go up to your denomination?]

[Of course, I dismissed it as nonsense and ignored it. Where in the world is such magic?]

[Hmm, that’s okay.]

And time reversal, although I have not expressed it so far, the burden is great.

Time reversal can be done through a combination of Holy property magic and Dark property magic.

As Faust was a human who had fallen into a demon, the root itself was not completely evil, even though he could use holy attribute magic to some extent.

I’m so tired because I turned back the time of nearly a hundred priests, maybe one or two.

I haven’t felt tired even once since becoming Faust… Ugh, I’ll have to be more careful from now on.

“The priests have been brainwashed so that they will come to their senses when they are far from the city. In this state, whatever you do, they will obey you. Take them as they are and give a warning to your denomination.”

“…I’m not surprised anymore.”

I was meticulously indoctrinated because the priests might go crazy when they see me.

Now all that was left was to convince the Seraphia Church not to send them to Montpelio for the time being with the bishop taking them back.

‘Okay, now it’s really over.’

Until Lucia’s body is completely drained of the demon’s magical energy, she should rest and recuperate.

Oh right, we should also study how to get it back to the way it was.

My memories of being a human are cut off from a certain moment, so I can’t know for sure, but for now, as far as I can tell, the memories before that are certain—

“Demon, it seems that the whole story about retirement is over… I have one last question personally.”

I had been drawing a diagram in my head about what to do next, but now the bishop, who has nothing to do with it, speaks again.

what else?

So far, if I have a question to ask, I think I just said it right away.

“Tell me.”

“If we go back like this, there will be a massive exorcism operation against you, aren’t you afraid?”

The bishop’s expression when he said that was very serious.

The figure of the fallen priest, as if painted in the picture he had just shown me, was everywhere.

It’s like a completely different person.

But seeing it, I felt more frustrated than serious.

Ugh… I’m just nervous about something else.

“Let it come.”

“…”

I was a user who played Noah, and at the same time was a design team member who developed Noah.

This neighborhood is the very early stage of Noah, and Faust is a raid boss that will come out in the future when it is not even fully developed beyond the very late stage.

“Are the questions over?”

“…okay.”

hey, cool guy.

**********

“How the hell did you do the adjustment!! Didn’t I tell you to summon a demon of a suitable level to show off your performance!!”

“Min, you obviously did it according to the manual!!”

“By the way, what the hell is that devil– Khu-heo-uk…!”

…noisy and obscene things.

Summoning demons without even trying to sell their souls…?

Originally, a lesser demon should have come, but since it was my first wish in 2 years, I killed the lesser demon and came instead…

well done

If you don’t want to sell your soul, you can just take it by force.

“Hey, hey… Sir Seraphia, please have pity on me-

…eww.

I heard an eerie name.

After all, they’re probably the only ones who summon demons without selling their souls.

Wait, then, is it what they did that took all of their wishes over the past two years?

‘…No, it wouldn’t be.’

Looking at the summoned altar and the engravings on the nearby wall, they are all very crude and classic.

The level of people who use such old-fashioned magic is understandable. There is no way I can intercept wishes.

And come to think of it, if they are demons, they will serve a double standard bastard who cannot live without a demon, so they wouldn’t even try to stop the demon from being summoned.

Hmm… Well, then there is only one answer.

‘What kind of child are you?’

Be really greedy too.

No matter how evil you are, you dare to take over your soul without morals…? Even for two years?

I’ve never seen anything like this before, so it’s probably a recently created demon… I don’t know who it is, but once I find it, I’ll teach you manners and manners and then kill it.
