The Devil Who Grants Wishes

gurgling- gurgling-

The blood of the centipede clinging to my body is trying to completely envelop me like a black alien creature from a hero movie.

Normally, this should be incredibly bad, but surprisingly it’s not that bad.

Is it because he was born out of my magi?

[Dare… Dare my body!!]

Anyway, this centipede head seems very angry.

Man, I must be angry that I mashed my head alive… But isn’t it too far-fetched to try to steal your body?

[I’ll have to take your body too- Khuheouk!?]

The triumphant centipede’s head, who had been triumphant as if he thought he was greatly embarrassed when I didn’t say a word, suddenly let out a scream that didn’t fit his figure.

He’s the strongest guy I’ve ever seen, but he doesn’t seem to be able to sustain my mana drain.

The blood of the centipede wrapped around my body fell off my body as soon as the mana was released, and the blood of the centipede that was scattered on the floor boiled and evaporated in an instant like water sprinkled on a hot frying pan.

“My body…? That’s what I want to say. What are you trying to do now?”

[This… this is what…]

“A foolish thing that even the creator does not recognize.”

To be honest, I felt pity for the monsters and beasts I had killed, although slightly.

Aren’t these monsters born only to serve me by my magic?

I killed myself the loyalists who act only for me, and no matter how evil I am, I can’t put my heart at ease.

It’s strange that he doesn’t feel anything when he literally kills his own subordinate minions for no reason.

But… this centipede head doesn’t feel that way.

I feel only anger and contempt.

It seems that not only me but also Faust was very angry at the fact that he was attacked and that he was harmed.

[Creation… Ugh!?]

The centipede head seems to have figured out who I am then.

The hostility towards me until recently has completely disappeared, and the vanished place is filled with only fear and guilt.

…Still, it doesn’t seem like he did it on purpose.

[you are…!]

“You’ve evolved too much.”

Generally, monsters created by my magician regard me as the owner, but this centipede head seems to have weakened a lot as it constantly undergoes the process of strengthening itself within the barrier.

Above all, this centipede head is not simply a beast or a demon that is only affected by magic.

He even spews out magic by himself, so this guy is closer to a demon than a beast or a monster.

Perhaps without my intervention, I would soon be reborn as a true demon and completely free from my influence.

My outstretched hand turned towards me, and I would have watched the magic build up from my fingertips, but the centipede’s head didn’t say anything or respond.

He just rolled his eyes and apologized to me.

Fragile-

[sorry.]

…Hey, if you accept death so docilely and apologize, I’ll be even more apologetic.

If I had become strong enough, I would have recognized who I was right away like the other monsters and beasts I killed.

“Hey, hey…”

‘…what will this elf girl do?’

When the centipede head is extinguished, only then does the figure of an elf girl next to him come into view. The whole body is covered with the blood and saliva of the centipede, so it doesn’t make sense.

The elf girl with tears in her eyes can’t even look at me properly, and at the same time, a feeling of fear is radiating from her body.

‘…isn’t it just fear?’

What is unique, however, is that the feeling of fear is mixed with a little favor and expectation.

In other words, this elf is clearly aware that I saved him.

I don’t know if it was really to save me, or if it was to annihilate the centipede head, though.

‘Then… Shall we try to convince the elves?’

First of all, the barrier was closed by me and no longer radiating magical energy, and the monsters and beasts that came out of the barrier dealt with the centipede last.

Now, all that remains is to get rid of the magi that have spread throughout the forest and at the same time restore the dead giant trees, but the problem is that the elves think that they are destroying the forest, so there is a high possibility that they will attack me indiscriminately.

No, not to a high degree, but almost unconditionally.

Of course, such attacks won’t do me any effective blows, but it’s still possible enough to interrupt magic or make my mind go wild and distract me.

With this elf girl’s cooperation… maybe I can stop the elves from interfering with me?

**********

Aren, who received Faust’s polite ‘request’, gently nodded and accepted Faust’s request.

Of course, Aren wasn’t really granting that request.

There’s no way a young elf could refuse the devil’s request that killed that dreadful centipede’s head in an instant, and the devil’s words that made the Great Forest like this.

Aren remembers Faust’s words, grabs his head and sobs inside.

[Do not allow anyone to approach you while you are gathering magic.]

‘This… what is this…’

I thought I saved my life, but it wasn’t, I was just a hostage.

I resent the me of the past, who had favor with me for a little while.

Of course it would be better than dying, but I never knew my life would be spent this way. I feel so sorry for the other elves.

“Aren…!”

“Aww… God damn it…!”

The elves incapable of combat fled to the outskirts of the forest still barely remaining, and the elves capable of battle all flocked to surround the demon, that is, around me.

All of the elves who have gathered like that point their bows and staffs at the demon, but the devil is not afraid of it.

just keep doing what you’ve been doing.

sloppy – sloppy

‘That’s…’

On top of the demons, the magi scattered in the great forest are condensing.

Of course, those magi are not at the average level.

Since they came out of the barrier, the powerful and dark magi had drawn mana from the giant trees in the great forest, so they became unbearable.

To the extent that if an ordinary person touched that magical energy, it would instantly transform into a magical beast.

‘By the way… you’re agglomeration of such magical creatures at such a high density?’

If our elves attack or that demon makes a mistake, and the magic of aggregation is disrupted, the magic sphere loses its stability and immediately explodes and blows away the entire forest.

Whether they just watched the situation or attacked, there was only a future left in which the great forest would be completely destroyed.

How… how did this happen…

“I’m done.”

In the end, no one was able to touch that demon until all the magical spirits spread out in the great forest all gathered there.

I can’t… I’m sure what would happen if I left it like this-

Aww!

“Hey aah… Huh?”

At that moment, a huge amount of mana suddenly bursts out of the condensed magic.

At first, I screamed because I thought the magic had finally exploded, but it took me a second to realize that it was a mistake.

It is hard to believe that such a green mana is gushing out of such a dark-red agglomeration of magic even though I am looking at it with my eyes.

“Hey, what is this…”

“Oh oh…”

It seems I am not the only one with such feelings.

The elves around them were all captivated by the scene unfolding in front of them.

Sooing

The mana that came out of the magic tree was scattered all over the place as it was, and eventually it permeated into the giant trees just before death.

You can tell even if you don’t look closely.

The giants… resurrected.

Although the Great Forest has become very bare, I can feel the warm mana that is the same as before.

“Next is this barrier.”

The white-faced demon continues with the next task, regardless of the elves’ agitation.

With a single wave of his hand, the mana escapes and moves the sphere left with only the magic, and puts it into the barrier as it is.

If you do something like that, no matter how much mana you run out, the barrier can’t stand— eh?

“What’s this…”

Far from breaking the barrier, it is compressed very stably.

The barrier, which was wide enough to occupy 30% of the area of the large forest, is gradually decreasing, and in the process, the things inside the barrier are completely blocked and there is no sign of it coming out.

There is literally nothing in the space created by the reduction of the dome-shaped barrier.

Soil, wood, beasts, monsters, magic, and all that.

There is only empty space.

woo woo woo

The barrier that had become so infinitely small eventually became a small marble.

Fortunately, the orb does not emit magic, but instead, it transforms the surrounding space without limit. The surrounding light bends and then swirls and gets sucked into the marble.

Just looking at it is enough to shake your mind. I feel like I’m going crazy if I just go near it.

That… what the hell…?
