The Devil Who Grants Wishes

90 – choice (4)

“What, what happened…”

The demons standing on the top of the castle wall and watching are very flustered and are unable to judge the situation properly.

Because the crops that I worked hard for a year are disappearing before my eyes.

If you just watch it like this, you will have to do something about those black grasshoppers because you will starve to death during the winter or have to plunder other cities, but unfortunately there is no way to do anything about it.

“aaa!!”

“Save me, save me!!!”

If you go outside to stop those locusts, you’ll be like crops in an instant.

The demons, who went out in a hurry, eventually died as their bodies were torn alive by the locusts that wrapped around their bodies.

Roaring!

“You won’t die!!”

Even so, it cannot be set on fire.

Even though the demons were destroyed by using fire magic, the black grasshoppers calmly fly around as if fire is funny, and some of them even eat the fire.

Of course, this is possible because the fire is made of mana, but that doesn’t matter at all to the demons watching it. They just regard it as a monster locust impervious to fire.

And the bold demons who used fire magic on themselves die shortly after becoming the same as the crops being eaten. The demons, who saw their companions turned into bones in an instant, lost their strength in their legs and collapsed.

“Hee-hee… Hee-hee…”

A huge dome made of locusts surrounds the city.

The distant mountains and forests, the sun and clouds high in the sky are instantly covered by locusts and nothing is visible, and only a huge darkness fills the city.

Only the grotesque sound of grasshopper skins and wings rubbing against each other is heard, and the demons tremble at the sudden occurrence. No matter how much he had a battle-loving disposition, he couldn’t enjoy fear and being slaughtered.

[You dirty mongrel.]

“I’m sorry…”

At that moment, a creepy sound scratched the ears of the demons.

It is so bizarre that it seems as if the cries of countless insects have been collected and edited to be heard as human voices.

The demons each held their breath and turned their heads toward the voice, and eventually witnessed a gigantic face that seemed to embody fear.

And… witness the existence that the demons always long for, the existence that the demons always want to become.

“You’re the devil…”

Devil.

Demons who are half demons always want to become true demons.

Of course, seeing it in person is completely different from envying it inwardly.

The situation the demons are in right now is literally like chickens on the verge of being killed or buried alive, so they don’t feel the emotion of witnessing the devil at all.

[I will show mercy to you dirty blood.]

Apollyon, who made the head of a lion with the bodies of locusts, moves the lion’s mouth and speaks. Of course, there are no vocal cords on the head made of locusts, but the voice comes out as if it were natural, giving the demons who see it a bizarre look.

What’s even more bizarre is the voice that seems to shake the soul and is filled with demons.

All demons are convinced that if they continue to hear this voice, they will become slaves of the devil without even realizing it.

However, whether or not to become a slave, the demons have only one choice.

If you want to live, you must follow the devil’s words.

“Come on, mercy…”

[Swear allegiance.]

A question arises in the minds of the demons.

Are you loyal?

What the hell do you mean the devil receives the loyalty of the demons and uses it?

It’s okay to say this themselves, but demons are nothing more than beings that need to be eradicated from the devil’s point of view. If you compare it from the point of view of an ordinary human being, it is like a child born between a human and a cockroach, but there is no one in the world who will be watching it.

Above all, demons are weaker than demons.

Of course, since there are individual differences, there must be many demons stronger than demons, but there is no demon in the world that is bothersome enough to directly receive the loyalty of demons like this. Wouldn’t it be better if I killed them one by one?

[You dare to hesitate.]

“Sleep, wait—- keuhuhuh…!”

It wasn’t hesitation, it was guessing Apollyon’s intention, but it didn’t matter to Apollyon. No, on the contrary, guessing the intention is even more unforgivable.

The demons, unable to do this or that while hesitating, are surrounded by locusts and die, and the other demons watching them fall on their faces with their heads cold.

“Please save my life!”

“please please…!”

[It’s annoying.]

Although it is based on fear, Apollyon sighs after confirming that the demons are truly loyal to him.

I can’t stand it because it’s so annoying that I have to do this over and over again.

But I can’t help it.

It was because he had already signed a contract with Serapia, and had already received the contract price in advance.

[Keep that heart in mind. If your loyalty is shaken, I will come and kill them all.]

“Hee, hee… yes… of course!!”

After capturing one city in 30 minutes, Apollyon hurriedly moves to another city.

The demons who see countless swarms of locusts cover the landscape question whether what they are seeing is real, but that question is destroyed as soon as it is created.

The place where the locusts disappeared was just a barren field and full of corpses with only bones remaining.

“Surrender, surrender!!”

“I’ll listen to what you guys have to say… kuh…”

All of Larissa’s demons are bowing their heads to the ground.

Even yesterday, the party of warriors who suddenly agreed to know and went back, and the demons who met again went into combat posture with an expression of ‘Okay!’, but that combat posture was meaningless and was destroyed.

In this process, the existing warrior party did not intervene in any way.

Only Irine went forward and fought.

“…come.”

“Yeah, mentally immature, but physically very strong.”

Of course, the scene of Irene fighting left a great impression on the viewers.

Use the devil’s shell to block the attacks of the demons, use the devil’s claws to make all defenses useless, and use all kinds of skills that combine mana and magic to destroy all enemy means.

When you look at it from the outside, it’s literally the perfect devil itself.

No, in a way, not only the appearance but also the contents may have been like that.

[die!!!]

[Ahahahahaha!!!]

“That…that’s… that’s…”

Everyone who is looking at the comparison between Irine from the time of the fight and Irene now cannot believe at all that the Irene now is the same person as the Irine just now.

The current Irene is a timid girl with soft skin and so timid that she is startled by the sound of footsteps.

However, when fighting, Irene didn’t do that at all.

His entire body became that of a demon, and his personality was also very violent and aggressive, befitting his body.

Everyone in the warriors’ party feels something profound that comes from the difference, and their hearts ache.

“…Here it is.”

“N-Yes!!”

Since no one in the hero’s party was in a hurry to open their mouth, I decided to step in first.

When I talk to Irine, who was unable to do this or that because she was standing alone in silence, Irine immediately received my words as if she had waited.

No, it’s not just the level you get. Seeing her hurriedly rushing towards me, it seems that the current situation was very uncomfortable for Irene as well.

“Are you satisfied?”

“Yes…?”

“I asked if you were satisfied with being the ruler of the city like this. Look, everyone is bowing down to you and pledging allegiance.”

Hearing my words, Irine turned around and looked at Larissa.

A wave of people.

Like tiles on the floor, countless demons caught Irene’s eyes.

“Isn’t this what you always wanted, are you satisfied?”

“That’s right.”

It’s a lie.

I can easily read people’s emotions without knowing anything else, so I can judge whether Irene’s answer is true or false very easily.

Irine is not at all satisfied.

Rather, it only makes them feel embarrassed for those who swear excessive loyalty to themselves.

If Irene had been in the past, of course, she might have felt some satisfaction, but not now.

“Come on, get off now.”

“Get off quickly.”

“Oh my gosh…”

“It’s a good time.”

Like this, because everyone treats Irene warmly.

It was a short meeting that lasted only about a day, but Irene had filled her empty heart with something other than the desire to conquer and dominate, so it seems that the desire to conquer and dominate, which were only substitutes, did not feel much merit.

If this happens, Irine may not want to conquer Katara later.

Well… even if it becomes difficult to deal with Cerapia because the Demon’s Divinity disappears, it’ll work somehow if you use other Divinities. It will be fine.
