The Devil Who Grants Wishes

94 – Choice (8)

“Dad…?”

“Mr. Faust?”

The kids call me to explain why they were surprised by the sudden remark, but unfortunately I don’t have time to explain it right now. Every minute and every second is urgent.

Looking at Irene’s face color and soul that changes moment by moment like this, there is not much time left.

“Yes…?”

Seeing Irene ask me back in a daze, confused, it seems that she didn’t understand what I was saying.

Hearing my words, Irene blinked at first, but then began to doubt her own ears.

It’s… It’s urgent.

“Come on, come on!”

He grabs Irene’s hand and screams at him.

Fortunately, the shield of divine power that enveloped Irene’s body has long since disappeared due to Belial’s intervention.

Unlike before, when I stretch out my hand like this, it touches Irene’s body without any hindrance.

“That… oops… n, yes… I’ll be Faust-sama’s forever…”

In the end, Irine, who did not know why, agreed to my repeated screams.

Holding my hand, Irine hesitated, then lowered her head and muttered a small voice.

ok, that’s it… will it be?

“…”

its sillent.

No, isn’t it right to say that there is no change rather than quiet?

The divine power that wraps around Irine’s body and the divine power that dwells in Irene’s body are still the same.

It can’t be like this… can’t it?

go oh oh

The noise created by the collision of divine power and demonic energy disturbs my ears. The noise that fills your ears makes you feel as if your mind is a little daze.

What was the problem?

Obviously, the power of demons is created when they dominate all demons.

Since Apollyon ruled over all the other demons that Irene did not control, when Apollyon swore allegiance to Irene, Irene came to possess the power of demons.

Then, if Irene swears allegiance to someone in reverse, shouldn’t the demon’s status be transferred to that someone?

Couldn’t it be possible to transfer the prestige of the demons that have already been created?

There’s a good chance that’s going to happen, but… kuh, no. It shouldn’t be like this-

“Seobang-nim, you are wise as expected! This way!”

At that moment, Belial’s voice of admiration penetrated the noise of divine power and reached my eardrum.

…what?

Why are you admiring me?

I don’t know any other time, but why now?

Rather than calling me Mr. West, I wonder why Belial is admiring me at this moment.

“What do you mean?”

“Huh? Didn’t you mean to gain divine prestige by ruling over this demon?”

“…”

what is it, that’s right

What Belial said was exactly what I had intended, so it seemed to Belial that the approach of gaining Irene’s loyalty and transferring her trusteeship was extremely correct.

But why not?

What’s the matter?

“Poor demon girl, hurry up and become the West’s. Don’t you want to be comfortable?”

“N-Yes…?”

“Hmm… The West taught me how to save my life, but he seems to hate it. West, wouldn’t it be better for me to just extract the trust?”

…what?

Belial’s remarks are very firm. He is talking as if he is looking at the answer sheet and writing the number on the question.

What’s wrong with my method is the attitude that there’s nothing wrong with it.

What stands out more than anything else is the words that urge you to quickly become mine.

“Belial, didn’t Irene come under my control?”

As seen in the case of Apollyon, it was judged that he had been under his command just by expressing his intention.

Since Irene also revealed her intention to me just now, the conditions must have been met?

“No. Merely expressing one’s intention does not mean that one is governed.”

“The demon named Apollyon did just that. Just by expressing his intention, he transferred all the demons under his command to Irene.”

“Ah… that’s a special case of demons. A demon, a creature created from the union of magic, mana, and evil feelings, has cases in which his intentions become sincere. Why do you know that? The proverb says that demons can’t lie. .”

In other words, what Belial is trying to say means that Irene did not sincerely come under my command.

…Things like that happen, too.

Well, I told you to be mine without any explanation, but there is no one who will readily agree and nod. It is commendable from the point of declaring that you will become mine even with empty words in the first place.

But… ugh, I don’t have time.

Hurry up and convince Irene to serve me from the bottom of her heart.

“Here it is.”

He grabs Irene’s body, which was just floating in the air, and hugs her.

Since divine power is wrapped around Irine’s body, it is damaging to my body, but I can withstand that amount of damage. No matter what anyone says, I’m Noah’s final raid boss.

“Yes, yes, yes…”

“I do not want to lose you. Hurry up and declare in your heart that you will obey me.”

“I’m sorry…”

Irine’s face turns bright red, and her gaze moves away from me and hovers in the air.

Irene’s pupils are clearly visible.

Are you losing your mind?

“Look at me, here I am.”

“I’m sorry…”

To strengthen the words, to hold on to Irine’s spirit, I brought my face closer and closer, and Irene’s focus came into sharp focus again.

The eyes that had been hovering in the air suddenly trembled and soon became clearer, and beyond the sharpened eyes, I could see my yellow eyes.

“Come on, I swear.”

“I-I… Faust, Faust-sama’s—”

Irine’s voice trembles like a goat. Not only the vocal cords, but also the tongue trembles tremendously, so Irine’s pronunciation is not properly made, so it is difficult to understand.

But… the will that can be seen beyond the eyes is firmer than ever.

“—-It will be something.”

Kwaaa!!

When Irine’s words are finished, the noise of divine power and demonic energy that filled my ears from earlier disappears.

The divine power that was wrapped around Irene’s body swirls as it is and soars high into the sky, and the divine power that dwells in Irine’s body follows the divine power and stays in the air.

fluff

“Here!”

Like a marionette whose strings have been cut, Irene, who has lost her strength, falls facedown towards me.

At first, it seemed that things had gone wrong, and her heart sank slightly, but fortunately, Irine’s life did not seem to be affected. Heartbeat, breathing, and body temperature are all normal.

It seems that he fainted for a while due to the recoil that just escaped from his body.

go oh oh

I can’t hold Irene like this.

Because the fusion of demonic and divine powers high in the sky was condensing with a creepy sound. Since it is certain that it will attack me before long, I must first get the irine away from me.

“Take care of Irene.”

“…Yeah, Dad.”

I hurriedly handed the Irene to Lucia who was by her side.

…but why is his expression so strange?

She should have liked Irene’s life as much as she saved her life, but Lucia has a similar expression to the one Irene showed just now.

The pupils are dilated and the focus is wandering in the air, and the color of the face is darkened.

uh… well…

First of all, the important thing right now is to deal with the demon’s identity, so I’ll ask later.

“Come on, Seobang-nim. Now, if you absorb that god, it will be perfect—”

“No, I can’t accept that into my body. If I receive divine power, I can’t stay in this world anymore and take care of Lucia.”

“…Hmm, is that so?”

Belial, who was trying to absorb the spirit of the demon from me, listened to me and looked at Lucia once and snorted.

“So now, I want you to help me make this god’s body into a crystal.”

“Help me… Yes, of course! I’m a demon, but since I’m basically a demon, I’ll help you with a contract if you give me a proper price.”

“How much is the price?”

“I’m going to think about that after work is over. One o’clock is in a hurry, right?”

“…Kuh, okay. Let’s go ahead and handle this together.”

“Yes, Mr. West!”

First of all, since Belial has divine power, he should be able to handle it more effectively than me, like Gaia in the original work.

Didn’t I start by lightly extracting the spirit from Irine and even let her know that my method was correct? So Belial must do whatever it takes to help me.

I’m a bit uneasy because I didn’t mention the price properly, but as Belial said, I don’t have time to go through it one by one because I’m in a hurry right now.

Pajijijik-!

“Kuh…”

After a while, the devil’s spirit, which completely escaped from Irine’s body, rushed at me, but when Belial with the devil’s stomach entered the middle, it resisted and bounced back, hovering in the air again.

He urgently created a soccer ball-shaped cubic barrier to imprison the spirit of the demons hovering in the air, but the spirit, not subject to the magic laws of the present world, tries to break the barrier easily.

However, thanks to Belial, who skillfully used the repulsion between the spirits, the spirits of the demons bounced off the barrier they were trying to break, and eventually condensed like a dot in the center of the barrier.

hard-

When the barrier is reduced to match the size of the condensed divine power like that, the divine powers that were not confined to the surface of the barrier cling to it and soon harden as it is and turn into crystals.

This… is the crystallization of the Shinwi seen in the original work. The appearance is exactly the same.

….Is it over now?
