chapter 97
97 – 97 – Asmodeus (6).
Intruders united with the imperial family, the church, and many countries invaded the forest.
The elites gathered to protect Asmodeus easily defeated them.
As a result, a rumor spread widely throughout the world that strong people in the Elven Forest were already following the Demon King.
Many people trembled with fear at this.
Those whom the devil tried to kill himself. Or to those who already killed him.
In order to take revenge, I am afraid that I will lead the strong and come out of the elf forest.
But even as time passes.
No one saw anyone coming out of the elf forest.
Before the devil enters.
After the elves left to migrate to other places.
Not a single person came out of the elf forest.
People came to realize that Asmodeus and his guards did not come out of the elf forest.
After that, most people became passive.
In the meantime, due to Labinus’ brainwashing, and because there was no particular difficulty, Asmodeus was easily killed.
In the first place, they were marred by a long period of peace due to the efforts of Asmodeus.
If you want to kill others, you must be prepared to die yourself.
With such determination, in order to defeat Asmodeus, who is guarded by the strong,
Few people entered the elf forest.
And the goddess’s divine power gradually decreased day by day.
As a result, the talk of killing the devil was disappearing from all corners of the continent except the church.
At this time.
Asmodeus and those who try to protect him.
I had hope that the situation would not end like this.
Afterwards, in order to properly utilize her remaining divine power and reinforce her true power, the goddess tried to summon strong people from other worlds and appoint them as her heroes.
The reason for summoning a hero from another world was not just to reinforce military power.
The goddess also knew the reason why Asmodeus kept coming back to life.
She seemed to know more about it than Rod and the World Tree.
Because, as well as killing him.
This is because an oracle said that they had found a way to completely destroy the world of Isania.
The method is to end the Demon King’s life with the hands of those from another world.
Informing the believers that this is the way to prevent the devil from coming back to life.
She gave an oracle telling her to take good care of the warrior she summoned.
But.
Before the warriors even reached Asmodeus.
Due to the princess’s plan, they were attacked by the Isanians, who could be considered to be on the same side.
It is true that the heroes from other worlds are strong, but can they defeat the Demon King who leads strong men including the Dragon Lord?
In that case, let’s just use the warrior and get some profit.
The status of a warrior, using strength to gain the upper hand in power.
Or the precious treasure called the Goddess Stone embedded in the heart of a warrior.
The Demon King’s army has no intention of coming out of the elf forest anyway.
Even if they come out, the goddess will summon a hero to protect them.
He secretly contacted key figures on the continent to persuade and encourage them to have this idea.
This is the princess’s attempt.
It heightened the ugly desires of the Isanians beyond expectations.
She made her use the strangers who called her into her world to ask for her salvation without hesitation.
As a result, the warriors summoned from other worlds left before they could even face the Demon King.
Lavinus was angry at this and punished those who harmed the hero and summoned the next hero.
It just kept repeating itself.
The scheming princess also expected only to keep a hero in check who would be summoned once or twice.
He said he never thought the Isanians would be so selfish and greedy.
The more the warriors were summoned, the more the divine power of Labinus was depleted due to the vengeful spirits of those who were sacrificed.
And.
In this world where there were many selfish people who had no hesitation in using the warriors summoned by the goddess, Asmodeus was good at mediating to prevent conflicts from occurring.
Because I thought that even the goddess would have realized.
I thought that Labinus would give up now.
But they didn’t know.
It wasn’t just Labinus that they should have been wary of.
And
Even themselves are a threat to him.
.
.
.
Asmodeus thanks to the women who protect him.
I was having a peaceful time for the first time in a long time.
Listening to the princess’s story, she said that the goddess even summoned her warrior to get rid of her.
I was very sad about that fact, but…
But it is said that it was blocked due to the efforts of women including the princess.
If you hold on like this for just a little while, Nus… No, have a proper conversation with Labinus.
I started to have hope that things could be resolved positively.
With that hope, Asmodeus was spending time with the women who protected him today.
But suddenly.
Phew!..
” Ugh!? “
Asmodeus had no choice but to scream as an arrow hit his left shoulder.
” Uh, why?.. “
Asmodeus could not understand this situation that suddenly occurred.
This is really strange.
“ Huh?.. Why am I asking Asmodeus.. ”
Silphia, the person who shot the arrow, also looked like she couldn’t understand.
Despite Labinus’ brainwashing, she was the only elf who remained even after all of her fellow elves left the World Tree Forest to protect him. Today, without any warning, she suddenly pulled the bowstring toward Asmodeus.
“What are you doing! Silphia! “
” Asu-kun!! “
No one around me could have predicted that the current situation would have happened.
In order to protect and heal Asmodeus, people joined together to stop Silphia.
” Ugh.. Why?.. “
Asmodeus asked Silphia without hiding his puzzled expression.
” No, I didn’t mean to do this… Huh?..”
But Silphia was also confused, with an expression on her face that said she really didn’t know why.
Everyone around her knows that there is no way she could kill Asmodeus.
Then there is only one reason why she suddenly attacked him.
” Has Labinus’ brainwashing become stronger!? “
Labinus’ brainwashing was difficult for ordinary people, or even those with strong mental powers, to resist.
The reason they have continued to resist brainwashing.
This was only possible because of the desire to protect Asmodeus, whom he loved.
But the answer that came out of Silphia’s mouth was different from what I expected.
“ I can no longer hear Labinus’ brainwashing.. Ah! Ah! ”
While she was answering Rod’s words, she suddenly started speaking gibberish and started pulling her bowstring again.
” This is all Asmodeus’ fault!!.. No!.. Ugh!.. Everyone, hurry and hurry over me!.. “
Sylphia spit out words of resentment toward Asmodeus, and the light in her eyes was gradually disappearing.
The moment when she pulls the bowstring again and aims for Asmodeus’ heart.
“I’m sorry..”
” No! Road! “
Sigh!!
The Dragon Lord cut off both of Silphia’s arms without hesitation.
Asmodeus tried to stop her, but she did not stop because protecting him was more important than anything else.
Silphia sat down with both her arms cut.
“ Ugh.. Thank you, Lord.. And I’m sorry Asmodeus.. ”
The speed at which blood was flowing from Silphia’s arms as she thanked Rod and apologized to Asmodeus.
It would not be long before she reached the lethal dose.
At this, Asmodeus shouted in an urgent voice.
” It’s not too late! Hurry up and suture Silphia’s arm and treat her! ..”
“I will ask you to continue treating Asmodeus, not me..”
But Silphia shook her head, and she asked her priest Gloria at his side to continue treating him rather than her.
” No, it’s Silphia more than me, because even if I die, I can come back to life!..”
” I.. Can’t.. I suddenly hear a strange voice..”
” Silphia! No!.. Gloria, not me!..”
Asmodeus despairs as he sees her eyes losing their light again and dying.
He tried to ask Gloryra to heal Silphia.
But he couldn’t save her.
Gloria stops his healing.
” Wait a minute, Gloria? Ugh!! “
Thump!
This is because they suddenly started strangling him.
” It’s all because of you, Asmodeus!! “
“Gloria, why?..”
” Ah, why me?.. Aaaaa!! Die Asmodeus! “
” Ugh!.. “
Sigh!
” Wow!! “
” Writing, Gloria!? Lord!! “
” I put protecting you first, master..
This time, the Lord killed the person who attacked Asmodeus without hesitation and continued.
” I can’t hear Silphia’s voice, but… It feels like some unknown force is suddenly trying to control us. “
To protect Asmodeus, Lord stood in front of him.
Because there were women running towards him.
” Asmodeus!!.. Wow! “
” Mr. Asmodeus!! Wow! “
The moment when Rod was about to cut them down.
Sigh!
Sigh!
” Princess!? Princess!? “
The princess and the princess stepped forward and cut them down.
” It seems like the only ones who are able to maintain their sanity are me, the Lord, and the Princess..”
I suddenly looked around.
The women gathered in the forest to protect Asmodeus.
Only the princess, princess, and dragon lord remained.
Everyone was turning into cold corpses.
” What’s happening all of a sudden.. Ah, ah.. No! No!.. Aaaaa!!! “
When Asmodeus saw this scene, he screamed.
” Calm down, master.. Everyone must have already prepared for something like this. “
Asmodeus asked back tears at Rod’s words.
“What on earth do you mean!? “
” This means that everyone risked their lives to protect Asgun. “
” I never wanted that!.. “
” I’m sorry, this time we’ll do what we want, As. “
” Ah, ah.. No!.. Everyone is dead.. “
” I’m sorry, master.. You can blame us for killing them. “
” You can’t hold a grudge! This is all because of me!? Ah.. Ah.. This is why I told you all not to approach! I don’t want you to be sacrificed like this because of me! “
Asmodeus regretted it.
I shouldn’t have leaned into the warmth even for a moment.
This is not the brainwashing of Labinus or Nous.
The last words Ravi said to him.
It’s a curse…
It was a curse.
This happened because I dared to try to escape Ravi’s curse.
It cannot continue like this.
I thought that the remaining women should not be the only ones sacrificed.
Asmodeus asked the princess, the princess, and the Lord.
” You guys are also in bad shape, right? Please leave me now… Or just kill me! “Because I’m coming back to life anyway..”
But they had no intention of listening to his request.
” I don’t like it! Asu-kun. I would rather die! “
” That’s right! Even if we die, we can’t do that to you! “
” Ah!.. Ah!.. No.. Please..”
No matter how much Asmodeus asks and prays.
They did not listen to his request at all.
” I’m sorry, master.. Even if we are hated by you, we will never leave your side again. “
” We will never leave Asgun.. I’m sorry..”
” I’m so sorry.. We can never lose Ass again..”
They simply apologized and instead solidified their commitment.
” Ah!.. Ah!.. There is no way I could hate you.. Ugh!.. “
Asmodeus had no choice but to realize…
“ Ah! Ah! No!..”
This situation right now is worse than myself.
It is when loved ones are broken.
More than anything, I know that it is a great pain for him.
It is a terrible curse given by the goddess Ravi.
Suffer forever. Asmodeh!..
