The Devil Who Grants Wishes

76 – Drank (3)

“Aigokeros, the state is not a word.”

“Pow, Sir St…”

Beside Belial, a battered Aigo floats in the air.

Seeing that his whole body was covered in blood and his joints were shaking, it was easy to guess how hard Aigo must have fought.

Now, seeing that he was just floating without any resistance, unable to move, it seemed that his whole body was bound by an invisible hand.

Well, given Aigo’s level, I thought he wouldn’t just be defeated helplessly by Belial, but I was wrong.

As I hurriedly moved Aigo here through space magic, Belial’s eyes narrowed as he was only looking at me.

It’s a little surprising that he designated his area, where he couldn’t even see the coordinates, as the coordinates of space magic because it was full of high-density demons.

It’s really fortunate that the practice so far doesn’t seem to have gone to waste.

How could Belial, who is weaker than him, be able to get in the way after trying so hard to overcome Serapia’s space barrier?

“Then… Let’s have a quick talk. Seeing that you’ve come in person like this, you must be ready to accept my offer, right?”

However, Belial’s surprise does not last long. Belial, who regained his composure in an instant, looked at me and looked for an opening to attack.

Like this, to the extent that provocation in moderation does not cause bites.

“You don’t want to talk… Well, that’s okay.”

Belial.

According to Noah’s story, in the distant past, a being who was a human just like me, Faust.

After going through various incidents, he eventually rose from the position of a fallen human to the demon god, the ruler of the demon realm, and achieved a tremendous level of rise in status.

However, Belial, who had been compassionate towards others to the extent that she wished for them when she was human, did not go anywhere even after becoming a demon.

However, the problem is that the feelings of compassion are directed towards the demons.

“I don’t understand.”

“…”

“Why did you give orders to the demons to harvest their prey?

It may sound strange, but the Demon God has no obligation to manage the demons at all, and the only duty to manage them is the Demon Realm, which is identical to the Demon God’s alter ego.

The prestige of being a demon is something that can only be taken away by defeating a demon as a demon.

No matter how strong the demons are, there is not a single benefit that the demon can gain.

No, rather, it is more right that we should lose money.

The more demons that are beyond the average level of the Demon Realm increase, the more unstable the Demon Realm is, and above all, it is like raising a demon that can take over your place with your own hands.

“Is Seraphia really that scary?”

“…”

“Or the memories of being human make the demons mistakenly think they are their younger siblings—hmm.”

Kwaaa!

At that moment, the field of view is suddenly filled with a flash of dark purple light.

Fortunately, there was no damage, but I couldn’t help but be a little surprised. It’s been so long since I’ve been attacked that I wasn’t aware of except for the first day when I didn’t get used to my body.

Still… I’m glad I succeeded in focusing the aggro on me.

“You bastard…”

“You finally responded with something. I thought you must be dumb or deaf.”

Belial, who had been just looking at me in silence until now, tried to recount her past as it was in the story, but it wasn’t enough that she immediately attacked me, and finally began to open her mouth.

And that’s not all.

Belial’s face, who only looked up at me with insignificant eyes, was burning with anger as if it had never happened.

[Flora, Nero, hurry up and evacuate everyone else.]

[…Yes, Mr. Faust.]

Flora, who can’t be of any help to me, is a little displeased, but fully complies with my orders.

In general, clans do their duty as clansmen when they fight together when their master fights, but even so, it seems that they know very well that when the level difference is so great, leaving without interfering is helping them.

Flora spews stems from the ground and wraps the entire party, including Aigo, with the stems, and eventually moves to another place with everyone through space magic. As expected, strengthening Flora was the right choice.

“The obstruction has been removed. So, will you swear an oath of allegiance?”

Focusing aggro only on me seems like the right choice.

Originally, Belial had devoted all her attention to me, but now she was even more devoted to me, so she didn’t care about the disappearance of the other party.

Of course, attracting aggro and making Belial angry doesn’t only have good effects. This is because Belial takes the fight more seriously.

Awesome!

As if a stone was thrown at a glass plate, the space begins to crack.

Not just one place, but all the space around me is cracking as if it were surrounding me.

“…What a strong woman.”

‘This… is the rage pattern that comes out when Belial’s HP is below 50%.’

If you give it more time like this, the space will be completely broken into pieces and start sucking in all kinds of things like a black hole.

And the player who gets sucked into the split space is given an instant death judgment and dies as it is, which is a very important pattern as can be seen in the instant death judgment.

‘Of course, the gimmick isn’t that difficult.’

It’s not a one-time gimmick, and you can’t make a pattern that comes out all the time so difficult.

Wouldn’t all the users run away if the instant death pattern, in which even the slightest mistake would break the attack, would be difficult?

Just stay in the center of the splitting space or use a skill to block the splitting, or if you can’t stop it because there are too many or there is not enough time, you can just run away.

If that doesn’t work, you can just polish the floor to resist being sucked in.

Keyiing!

When I put the orb made of my magic and mana in the center of the space that was splitting, the space that was splitting up just a moment ago regains its former shape in an instant.

This magic, or pattern, can only be used by Belial, so generally those who see it for the first time have no choice but to be helpless, but unfortunately for Belial, I am not the first to see it, so I can respond sufficiently.

“…tsk.”

However, Belial does not panic, even though her own original magic was instantly discovered.

Even if I was a little surprised, I think I fully expected that I could do this much.

No, the reaction is a bit weak…? I need to touch you some more.

“I was interested in magic for a while because it was my first time seeing magic, but I lost interest because it was so trivial and simple.”

“what…?”

“Instant death, if it’s a magic with such a strong return, of course, wouldn’t the risk increase accordingly? I don’t know who created the magic, but it must have been created by a really stupid and one-dimensional author.”

The laws of Noah are also applied in this world.

Too strong magic, patterns, and gimmicks are easy to destroy for balance, consume too much mana, or give a huge fatality in case of failure, etc. The risk increases accordingly.

People in this world call such a phenomenon a reaction and a curse to the price… But I, who know the truth, am just dumbfounded.

“How dare this guy!!!”

Kwaaang!!

Anyway, due to my continued provocation, Belial seems to have completely lost his composure.

Although the lofty and dignified figure from when they first appeared still remains, they have faded considerably.

As it was, Belial rose from the throne and started shooting all kinds of skills at me while making a sound filled with anger.

Starting from the most basic skill that all demons can use, Magi Mines, Belial’s basic pattern, Magi Blade, and so on, literally all kinds of skills.

‘Tsk… Was it too much?’

Although he continued to provoke me with high intensity to focus only on me and not on the others, the story is a bit different when Belial goes into battle this seriously.

Because I still haven’t completely filled the void created by Faust’s disappearance.

Of course, unlike Faust’s previous Raid Boss, Serapia, Belial’s basic specs will be completely different from Faust’s release date by more than two years, so he won’t be defeated… but it’s true that it’s quite annoying—wait a minute.

‘I can’t completely lose…’

Unlike Serafia, who didn’t know the gimmick because it wasn’t even released, I know all about Belial’s gimmick.

Not only that, but as much as the basic specs are different, even if Faust’s consciousness, which used to cast spells and skills at intervals, disappeared, he would not be able to lose to Belial.

In other words, how about using this situation as an opportunity to practice?

Kwaaa!

“Ugh!?”

“You dare to attack me rudely, first by insulting me, then you dare to pose like that? I guess you need a proper education.”

Also, the toughness is pretty good.

For 16 years, if you’ve seen them so far, you’re fine even if you’re hit head-on with a magic mine that would evaporate your body just by brushing against them.

Alright, I’ll have to see Belial like a scarecrow at the training ground and practice the magic that Faust’s consciousness used to cast instead. It must be quite tough, so it’s perfect for practice.
