The Devil Who Grants Wishes

Chapter 92

92 – choice (6)

“Keah, keuheouk…!”

Capricorn’s scream echoes. The body is returned to the demon by the light, and the returned demon is eaten as it is by the locusts.

Since it is no different from having his own body eaten alive, Capricorn feels rather fearful even though he is a demon.

[It’s still difficult to adjust the light.]

Compared to Capricorn’s terrified screams, Apollyon’s voice is calm.

No, can we call this a voice?

Since Apollyon’s body has no fixed shape, he has no vocal cords, so he cannot make a voice.

It’s just the cries of the grasshoppers and the sounds they make as their wings and bodies rub against each other and artificially edit them to sound like voices.

[I should try this this time.]

Apollyon uses Capricorn as a practice partner for his new skills.

There are literally dozens of attacks that can be made by applying the light of the goddess and the darkness of the devil, so Apollyon creates all sorts of outlandish attacks.

And Capricorn, who saw that, of course tried to escape by any means, but Apollyon borrowed the power of Serapia and cast a large-scale subspace blocking magic, so he couldn’t escape.

The only thing left for Capricorn is a future where he trembles like a rabbit cornered and endures Apollyon’s attack before dying.

[Like this-… oops?!]

Unless someone intervenes in the middle.

Apollyon, who was about to shoot Capricorn with a beam of light created by combining Cerapia’s light and his own darkness, stopped as he saw someone who had suddenly blocked his sight.

If that person had nothing to do with it, Apollyon would have fired the beam without caring at all, but he couldn’t do that.

Because that someone was the one he kept his close eye on.

“This… another new demon.”

Faust.

The existence that Cerapia tries to kill by any means and methods.

Apollyon, who signed a contract with Cerapia, knows that fact very well, so he doesn’t show the same attitude as he did when dealing with Capricorn, and he doesn’t show the attitude of being confident and playing around.

Grasshoppers that can be regarded as Apollyons for each individual spread out and cover the surrounding space in a dome shape.

The blue sky is covered by the grasshoppers, and the sun floating in the blue sky also disappears in the waves of grasshoppers and loses its light.

But no one is upset.

That’s pretty much what I expected.

“Kiehehehe!?”

Grasshoppers scream at the same time.

Apollyon did not die if even one locust survived, so he made locusts in the shape of a dome and then spread them out in all directions and tried to escape, but he was too terribly blocked.

Just as Apollyon did to Capricorn, Apollyon, whose movements were blocked by a huge subspace barrier magic, struggled in pain as he felt countless locusts banging their heads against the walls.

[dare!!!]

In the end, Apollyon gives up running away and chooses to fight back.

Countless locusts rush at Faust as they are.

Roaring!

[What-!?]

Apollyon is startled as the locusts are devoured by huge flames.

It’s not because it’s so easily dealt with. That much was already expected enough.

The reason Apollyon was surprised was that someone else had made this attack, not Faust.

Apollyon’s gaze moves to the place where the fire came out, and there is a party of warriors preparing for battle, led by Lucia, who is floating residual fire from her hand.

“Your opponent is not me.”

[dare…!]

Apollyon is furious.

To humiliate yourself by using thugs instead of stepping out yourself?

For Apollyon, who was originally a named demon that was not distinguished by race, and who became very strong with the power of Seraphia, this treatment is not an ordinary insult. For a demon who worships strength above all else, to look down on oneself is no different than swearing at one another in front of one’s face.

Apollyon decides to use all means to feed Faust candy.

Of course, Faust was confused, not knowing why Apollyon was so angry.

**********

Fishuung!

“Kiaaa!!”

As Lena’s magical arrows pass, the grasshoppers evaporate as if a huge beam of light passed through them, and Lena, who sees them, is slightly surprised by her own strength.

Rena, a young elf who has lived for nearly a hundred years, had never experienced anything like this before, to be able to become so strong in such a short period of time despite only hearing a little of Faust’s advice.

But Lena is not conceited.

Compared to the three monsters next to you, your own strength is the difference between an adult and a child.

“Ugh… It smells like it. We need to burn it all down quickly.”

“This demon is not good because there’s nothing I can do about it…”

“Lucia-san, since you use fire, you can smell it burning. If you burn it with my light, it won’t smell, so use another magic.”

Lena looks sideways at her party members sweeping away the locusts and is equally astonished today.

Because Faust is outside the standard, I can’t really feel his strength, but the other three are strong enough that I can perceive them.

Being able to go around with such strong people is a blessing and a blessing in itself, so Lena pulls the bowstring with satisfaction.

“Kieek!”

[Lucia-sama, watch your back!!]

“Thank you, Flora.”

‘…’

Of course, apart from being satisfied, the sight you see is always very horrendous.

Looking at the countless corpses of locusts and Flora, who had given her a great trauma, Lena is slightly at a loss for words.

**********

“It’s over.”

I was just waiting and watching to verify everyone’s strength, but it seems to end much faster than I thought.

I felt the energy of Cerapia, so I was a little anxious, but it seemed that it was over.

“Did you say that demon’s name was Apollyon?”

“N-Yes…! Master Faust.”

The barely revived Capricorn hurriedly answers my question.

It’s a name I’ve never heard of in the original Noah.

If he’s related enough to sign a contract with Seraphia, he’d definitely have a place in the original story, which is strange.

Well, since this isn’t a game world, it’s real life, so it’s no wonder that things I don’t know come out.

“It’s the god of demons… why the hell does Belial want that?”

“I’m sorry… that’s me too…”

“Yeah, what would you know if you found out. I don’t care.”

And that Belial was trying to gain the prestige of the demons, this was also very unexpected.

The original story and the story were so different that the story I knew was almost useless.

…For now, let’s stop thinking about the troublesome things and start with this Apollyon.

“Kee, keeik…”

After one huge wave passes, only a handful of visible locusts remain.

The surviving locusts make strange noises and struggle with their legs, and the warrior party who sees them moves to exterminate them as they have always done.

[That, stop!!]

Apollyon’s desperate echo echoes.

Since there are only a few locusts left alive, Apollyon is using telepathy to speak, as if she can no longer speak through the cries and friction of the locusts as before.

[Why are you doing this!! I didn’t even do anything to you!!]

“What did you do just from what you saw.

[Keuhuh!!]

Apollyon, who was trying to negotiate something, was knocked out by Celestine’s fist filled with divine power.

oh wow, be hot

As expected, Celestine’s personality becomes very violent when demons are involved.

I’m a devil myself, but I’m a bit curious as to why it’s not like that for me… Well, maybe it’s because you know that I’m different from normal devils.

[I can’t forgive… I can’t forgive…!]

“If you’re not going to forgive me, what are you going to do?

[Here!!]

“—-What!?”

At that moment, an extraordinary thing happens.

Lucia, who laughed at Apollyon’s final outburst, trembled in the air that suddenly shuddered.

It’s not just Lucia.

As the surviving locusts of Apollyon turned their heads toward Irene, whom I was protecting, the atmosphere changed in an instant, making everyone in this place forget to breathe.

It was a similar feeling to when Serapia was strong in Celestine’s body.

[I will give you my allegiance!! On behalf of all demons under my command!!]

What Apollyon did was just express his will.

I didn’t use any magic, I didn’t use any magic, I didn’t use any magic.

But that’s enough.

Because the world’s system doesn’t work only with those things.

Keying!

the sky vibrates

It is not a mere analogy.

The oscillating sky glows in purple, creating countless fractal-structured magic circles that look like magnified snowflakes.

And those magic circles dwell in Irine’s body.
