Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

“Lasnina must die.”

I had now discarded the bandages wrapped around my eyes. Although my eyes were still bloody, and unable to physically see, something as trifling as eyelids would never be able to obstruct my divine soul vision.

In the world that I saw, countless dead spirits swarmed around Lasnina.

Those souls were all using their empty eyes and helpless screams to indict Lasnina for her crimes.

‘Just how many people has she killed in her life?’

A mysterious rage was burning up within me. Even though I was also someone whose hands were completely covered in blood, I was still unable to agree with such senseless slaughter.

Every life had its own value. The killer who took away someone else’s life would have to bear the burden of the dead.

No matter what noble reason there was for killing, or how beneficial killing that person would be for the world, that would still never serve to conceal the fact that killing another was one of the most wicked actions in the world.

If you chose to use killing as a method to solve your problem, then you would need to bear a heavy sin. In the end, those whose hands were stained with blood would always be judged, no matter what dimension that person was in, and no matter what reason that person had for killing another.

Killing for the sake of a country’s glory and benefit? What a joke. How could the action of killing possibly represent justice?

Slaughtering purely for the sake of pleasure? That would be the worst possible, lowest-level third-rate hoodlum! That would disgust me even more than a maggot would.

“Lasnina, die for me, just like a lowly worm would!”

I furiously waved around a sword of ice that possessed extremely high-purity Holy Light that harmed both Lasnina and myself. Harloys was howling in pain in my mind, but at this moment, all I could do was tell her to bear with it.

I cut as I pleased with my sword on Lasnina’s still relatively beautiful face and body. The sun-like Holy Light was burning every part of the Devil Lord’s body. Yet, despite all the flames, Lasnina’s distorted expression was laughing maniacally and hysterically.

“I’ve finally, finally found you! I couldn’t possibly be satisfied otherwise, no matter how many worms I killed…”

The body that my holy flames were burning was instantly vaporized into dust. Yet, her insane laughter still hadn’t stopped.

“…As expected, only you… only your soul! Only your fresh blood! Only you can satisfy me, satisfy my pain!”

And not far away from me in the sky, the dust from her body gathered and formed a new and complete Lasnina who had recovered. There was pure hatred in her eyes as she glared at me.

No, she wasn’t complete and recovered. Judging from her significantly weakened power level, it was evident that she had taken some damage.

“Those were the highest-level pure holy flames capable of instantly vaporizing a Demon Lord. Yet, that was all they could do against her?”

Lasnina’s counterattack that came right after didn’t give me any more time to sigh about how powerful my enemy was.

In just a single moment, the sky became filled with distorted magical runes. Uncalculatable amounts of magic power jumped between the runes like electricity. Magic power constantly leaked as the very sky of the Chaos Abyss was torn open. Demonic beasts from other dimensions could be seen through the dimensional cracks, just waiting to pounce on new prey. I could sense that countless demonic eyes had their attention fully on me.

The next instant, all those demonic beasts filled with evil intentions transformed into a black liquid that poured out from the dimensional cracks. The moment that they arrived in this world, they transformed into twisted demonic beasts.

This was a pitch-black monster that had countless eyes floating around it. Its constantly distorting body was covered in all sorts of magical runes. I could sense that this was a pure amalgamation of curses, a demonic beast born from the compression of the purest curse magic.

“Ahhhh!!!”

However, Lasnina was the one who screamed in pain right now. She had just used her famous God Equipment magic sword to stab herself through her one remaining eye!

The next instant, Lasnina dug out her own eyeball, and crushed it before looking over in my direction with an even more distorted smile. I could already tell what she was thinking even without her saying it out loud…

‘I can’t see anymore, so that ability of yours which needs me to look into your eyes is useless now!’

Of course, I wasn’t foolish enough to believe that she had actually gone completely blind. It was quite likely that the living curse demonic creature could act as another pair of eyes for her. Still, her complete lack of hesitation in destroying her own eye like that was the best indication that she was now completely insane… or perhaps I should say that all of the Devil Lords were insane to begin with!

I took a deep breath, and rewrapped bandages around my eyes. This type of enemy couldn’t be dealt with simply through being hot-blooded. Since she was still overwhelmingly more powerful than I was in power level, a hot-blooded charge would be nothing more than utter suicide.

I had dealt with plenty of undying or indestructible enemies before. However, Lasnina’s undying properties were also foundationally different from Emordilorcan and my previous enemies’.

The five non-Main God Devil Lords had the titles of Curses, Jealousy, Lust, Betrayal, and Violence. They all represented the purest and most negative emotions of the intelligent species. None of these five Devil Lords were Gods, so they didn’t have Divine Concepts. But, just like how all intelligent living beings would definitely have negative emotions, these Devil Lords would naturally possess an endless power source as long as intelligent living beings still existed.

From the first generation until present, the number of Devil Lords that had died due to outside factors could be counted on one hand. As for the Devil Lords who were replaced, they were either replaced by a younger and more powerful individual, or a new Sin took the place of an old Sin.

The most ancient Devil Lords had all lived from the first generation until the present. Their very bodies were the definitions of undying and indestructible. As for the newer-generation Devil Lords, even though Lasnina was the youngest of the nine Devil Lords, she was still completely different from an ordinary great devil.

Back when creating my own Seven Original Sins, I had researched the nature of the Devil Lords. The Devil Lords weren’t actually indestructible and undying like they claimed to be. Creator Goddess Eich was the only one in this world who was truly indestructible. Strictly speaking, although the Sins that the Devil Lords represented were indeed undying, the Devil Lords definitely weren’t undying. If that had truly been the case, it would have been impossible for any Devil Lord to ever be replaced.

“The Lord of Curses? Ha, strictly speaking, you should be the ‘Lord of Jealousy’. Your jealousy and evil intentions towards any existence that surpasses you in any aspect is your very foundational being. Jealousy and hatred are your food.”

I closed my eyes, but I was actually preparing my trump card. Since I already knew that I had a Devil Lord enemy, of course I would make preparations beforehand for our next battle.

There were only two possible theoretical methods to completely kill a Devil Lord like Lasnina.

The first would be to use normal attacks and kill her over and over again. This would cause her to use up all of her power by repeatedly reviving herself. Naturally, the end result would be that she would be forced to reincarnate. And in that period of time, the empty position of Lord of Curses would make all the other devils go insane. Unless she was able to swiftly awaken again, her position would likely be stolen away by another devil.

The second method would be to use a unique attack method that could directly attack Lasnina’s soul and foundation, either destroying or sealing her completely. This would be more direct than the first method.

The first method would require an existence that surpassed Lasnina’s power level, such as a Main God. The second would require a power that exceeded her realm and special abilities. Both would be incredibly difficult. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have immediately started off by using an ace like my Stare of the Hell God.

The Stare of the Hell God was capable of directly attacking the soul. It was an attack that used the powers of karma and Fate itself. If Lasnina had been unable to take that attack, it was likely that there would have instantly been a new Lord of Curses born at that moment.

At my current power level, it would be absolutely impossible for me to kill Lasnina completely. At most, I would be able to force her into a state of revival. This was truly displeasing.

But since I fully intended to kill her for real, then I would only have one choice, although I would likely have to pay quite a discomforting price…

“Conservation, I need your power…”

…

Unlike the mortal plane, where only the Gods’ incarnations or representative species would war with each other, the Chaos Abyss was a location where the highest-level existences were capable of using their full power. If some Chaos Gods started fighting against each other down here, there would always be some God dying in the end, along with countless innocent victims dragged into the process.

When Roland and Lasnina got locked into a bitter battle, another Devil Lord and Salor the Berserk Slaughterer began rushing over to the 102nd level when they received the news on the 101st and 100th levels, respectively.

Due to a certain unexpected incident, the devils now valued Roland even more. They simultaneously sent out three of the remaining five Devil Lords to hunt him down. And even if they lost Roland’s whereabouts, two of the Devil Lords and Salor the Berserk Slaughterer would continue hunting him down.

If the power levels of two indestructible existences was similar, then both sides’ undying traits, Divine Kingdoms, armies, and revival capabilities would become their support. This would easily become a battle of attrition lasting several months.

Apart from a few exceptions, the Main Gods warring against each other during the battle of Hell had fought for several years without achieving any results. As for Emperor Yongye, it would be impossible to ever kill him without killing his army first.

But suddenly, a person with an identical appearance to Roland’s appeared in front of the Lord of Arrogance near the entrance to the 101st level.

Ast, the Lord of Arrogance, was first delighted, then astonished, and finally ended up with a despairing expression of shock.

“Karwenz! Why are you here!?”

The Abyss Prince seemed like he hadn’t changed at all compared to seven years ago. He simply yawned while asking a question. “I had a question for you as well. This is the demons’ territory. You can barely hold on to what territory you have left, so why are you here? Could it be that you devils are scheming something?”
