The Devil Who Grants Wishes

‘…why is he really like this?’

Originally, he should have revived the Hero Party and started training as he had done for the hero, but he can’t because of the attitude of the hero.

Too many negative emotions are coming out of the warrior’s whole body.

It is a comprehensive set of negative emotions such as despair, loneliness, sadness, pain, and self-hatred.

Not only are there many kinds, but the quantity is also considerable. He is emitting the emotions of dozens of people by himself.

Uh… um…

‘Am I missing something?’

There is no explanation other than that.

Possessing Faust’s body made it impossible to intuitively understand human thinking, so I said something strange or did something strange.

I can’t find an answer no matter how much I think about it by myself, so it’s better to just ask yourself, right?

“How… how should I…”

“…a warrior.”

“Hey, heck… me, me…?”

The warrior, who must always have a noble attitude, answers my call with terrifying surprise.

Then you are a warrior, who is a warrior- Oh, that’s right. The warrior never said that he was a warrior.

The word warrior did not exist in the early days of Noah. To be precise, this is what users used to say when they called playable characters for convenience in terms of storytelling.

The fact that a hero is called a hero in the story is the story after the first max level reorganization, when the management borrowed the perception of players, and until then, a hero has never been called a hero in-game.

It was simply expressed as a person who received a mission or something like this.

“Yeah, it looks like you have some complaints.”

Anyway, that’s not what’s important right now.

It is more important to know what the hero is thinking and why he is doing this.

“Dissatisfaction… I mean…”

“Tell me what you are dissatisfied with. Why are you doing this?”

The face of the hero who heard my words became a reward to death.

It was clearly a look of great despair just before, but now his face has completely turned black and he looks like a person on the verge of death.

No, I’m not joking, I’m just asking because I’m curious, why are you doing this?

“Then… let me ask you a little bit.”

After a short period of just over a minute, the hero finally opened his mouth with difficulty.

The head, which had been bowed down, slowly rose upwards, and then turned towards me.

The hero’s eyes, who had been very confused and trembling until just a moment ago, contained a firm will, even a little.

“Tell me.”

“What will happen to all who are resurrected?”

However, unlike his strong eyes, the words that come out of his mouth are absurd. To the extent of making the waiting so far in vain.

How are you? I’ll just have a good life.

“I will live well.”

“…until you die?”

“okay.”

“The reason I train everyone is-”

“Of course, to match the level.”

“level…”

When my answer is finished, the hero doesn’t answer right away.

The hero who turned his head just opened his mouth slightly, opened his eyes, and then looked at where his comrades were lying.

“…Yes, I beg you. Please save everyone.”

After a while, the hero, who was looking at the corpses of his companions, was convinced, turned his back on me and asked for a favor.

However, there is no positive emotion that should be present in that understanding.

In spite of the endlessly negative emotions coming out, the hero gave the opposite positive answer.

‘Am I really doing it right?’

I am not sure if I am really on the right path or if I am doing something strange because my values have changed since I became a demon.

It’s not that I’m forcing myself to follow the storyline. I’m not sure the other methods are the right thing to do.

Written… But to be honest, I don’t know if this is really the right way because it’s a twisted story that’s already been twisted.

Once you do, you should try it.

‘To use everyone’s soul… as a price for a contract…’

Meanwhile, Lena is watching the whole scene from behind the tree, trembling.

Faust appears at the moment he is away to give Iris a drink of water to Iris, who has lost her friends. Lena, who keeps running into Faust, curses her fate.

‘For now… we have to see what happens…’

However, Lena doesn’t try to run away from Faust even though she is cursed like that.

If it had been Lena in the past, she would have just run away without looking back, but Lena didn’t do that as she had gone through the same journey and had a sense of companionship with Iris, who had also experienced battles with beasts.

Rena is proud of being a noble elf, and unlike ordinary elves, Lena, who has a lot of emotions, can’t afford to abandon her comrades and jump out.

‘…?’

The moment she was looking for an opportunity like that, a strange thing caught in Lena’s field of vision.

A number of magic circles suddenly appeared on Faust’s whole body, who had only been conversing with Iris until recently.

Even as an elf with above-average common sense about magic due to the fact that he has both light and dark magic circles, which are opposite attributes, he has a high sensitivity to magic.

However, what Lena is seeing is not a hallucination, but a stark reality.

Blood splattered all over the place, flesh, floated in the air, and eventually headed to each owner.

‘What is that… The dead warriors are reviving…’

It’s the first time she’s ever seen a magic that doesn’t know how it works and how it works, but Lena knows for sure that they’re reviving now.

Lena had already heard of this scene from Iris, so she knew it, but still, the feelings from hearing and seeing are completely different.

If the resurrection magic was finished in such a short time, no matter how many beings, it would not help but be surprised.

In other words, it is a shock that completely destroys the conventional wisdom.

‘It’s a new thing, but I realize just how strong a demon Faust is-‘

“How long are you going to be hiding?”

“👌👌”

At that moment, Faust suddenly turned his head to the tree where Lena was hiding and said:

Lena’s body, which has gotten used to Faust’s appearance, is no longer ugly, but she can’t help but get scared.

“Ah, uh…”

And seeing Lena coming out of the tree with a nervous expression on her face, Iris realizes that she has seen and heard all of her ugly deeds, and feels endless shame.

Faust just looked at the two women acting strangely, even though he didn’t do anything.

**********

“Is your body… strange?”

“What is this, why is the tree cut like this…?”

It was only a short one-day training, but everyone became incredibly strong.

The things that I trained them to become meaningless.

Faust’s abilities are truly amazing.

Also I am incompetent.

‘When… should I tell you?’

Originally, I should have told you earlier.

Because I killed everyone because I was incompetent, I sold everyone’s souls without permission and brought you back to life.

That training was given as change for the soul price.

He’s alive now, but when he’s dead, his soul will be sold to the devil and he’ll have a terrible experience.

But… I can’t speak.

I can’t speak because I’m afraid that if I said that, everyone would hate me.

What a bad year I…

“Iris.”

“Lena…”

“When are you going to tell me?”

Lena, who had been observing all that had happened, did not tell everyone the truth as she thought my intentions were the most important.

It must have been an act of consideration for me, but when I saw it, I had no choice but to feel miserable.

Such consideration and mercy are too extravagant for me.

Come on, I want someone to punish me.

“…Sorry.”

“Um… I can’t hide it forever. I’m here because I knew there was no other way, but I think I should tell you someday.”

“Yeah… Thanks…”

Lena is so kind.

Elves are said to be blunt by others, but when you look at Lena, they are so gentle that you can tell they are wrong.

But now, that kindness is squeezing my heart.

‘If something similar happens again in the future, what should I do…?’

Even if he became stronger after being trained by Faust, that is not the solution.

Death always finds the weak and the strong equally in unexpected places.

Above all, I received the divine protection and the mission to save the world.

And that blessing makes me face numerous problems and events in order to save the world. In other words, if I am around, everyone will continue to be in danger.

If it weren’t for the car… No?

‘…that’s right.’

The reason everyone’s in danger, the reason everyone dies… is because I’m by your side.

Since I received the Goddess’ mission, evil beings and countless incidents are stalking me.

“…I have something to say to everyone.”

“Have you finally made up your mind?”

“…yes.”

Then the way that everyone doesn’t die is… I have to leave everyone’s side.

The dangers of the world have to be dealt with alone.

I have to make everyone leave me.

This party must be disbanded.
