The Devil Who Grants Wishes

78 – Drank (5)

‘Wow, I’m glad.’

To be honest, I didn’t expect to win this overwhelmingly.

No matter how much he knew all the patterns, Belial was definitely a demon, and he occupied an important position in the story as well as the final raid boss in the game.

As expected, it seems that it is not enough to suffer the penalty of the summer, and it does not progress the story properly and jumps out in the middle.

Why not? When it comes to a raid boss, a very strong guy appears in the story, but a weaker one.

Unlike Serapia, the demon has appeared in the underworld and fought against the hero in the story, so it seems that the demon has been nerfed in that respect.

‘By the way, I don’t know if it’s a game, but can the demon in the story and the demon in the raid be considered as different entities…?’

This is a reality unlike a game, so if it’s a story or a raid, there won’t be that much of a difference in strength… Uhm, I don’t know.

Well, first of all, you should consider it fortunate that you defeated Belial like this, right?

…Looking at this, I’m a little skeptical that I’ve raised a lot of warriors, but I’m not raising heroes to be helpful right now.

‘The playable characters will eventually become stronger than I am over time, and above all, I can get key to the story that I can’t get.’

Representatively, methods such as bringing Cerapia down to the underworld, being able to enter and exit other dimensions without any penalty, methods of communicating with real gods rather than created gods, etc. I am a demon and do not have [destiny], I will never What the unattainable, the warrior can obtain.

Of course it will take a long time to get there… no, can you call that a long time?

It’s only a few years.

Having lived in Faust’s body for 16 years, waiting just a few more years cannot be called a long time. The time flow within the Noah in-game that I remember right now was strong enough for the player to catch the Demon God in only 5 years, right?

The existence that was troubled by the goblins I met on the road became so strong that after only 5 years I could even defeat the Demon God.

“Huh…”

At that moment, the girl’s desperate moaning pierced my ears.

Hearing that sound, I lowered my eyes. Belial, who had never shown a weak side until now, sat down with a tear-stained face and looked up at me.

…what?

On the outside, Belial’s body is perfectly intact, but Belial is not an ordinary creature, but a demon made up of magic and mana, so we have to look at it differently.

The wounds inflicted on the demon’s body are immediately refilled with magic and mana.

If it can’t be refilled, it’s because some special magic has been used, or the body’s demonic energy has completely run out. Unless it’s for these reasons, the demon’s body always maintains its normal shape.

“Ahh, ah…”

And Belial seems to have received so much damage from me that it is difficult to maintain its normal form.

When I turned on the magic time and looked at Belial, there was no more magic left.

Belial, who had such an unbreakable heart that she would not pass out with her teeth clenched even after being hit by my series of attacks, has now completely broken her heart as if she never did that.

Uh… this doesn’t work.

If I attack further, Belial will disappear as it is, but if that happens, I will have the power of a demon that Belial has.

“…Does it hurt that much?”

And aside from that… what should I say? Guilt is no joke.

I’ve caught Belial a few times in Noah, and I’ve seen Belial as a programmed raid boss monster, not as a person until now, but seeing Belial so neutralized, that kind of feeling disappears in an instant.

She just looks like a weak girl who matches her appearance.

Uh… um… did I do anything wrong?

No, if you look at it objectively, it would be true that I did bad things by swearing and violently…

“…Stop teasing me, and make it easy for me.”

Belial, whose heart has been broken, doesn’t try to resist any more, just looks up at me with dull eyes and says so with her whole body relaxed.

Shouldn’t it be like this?

Hurry back to your house, go home.

“Go back to the Demon Realm.”

“…what?”

“Did you think I’d be interested in the spirit of demons who had to stay in the demon realm? Hurry up and go back to the demon realm, didn’t all the good scenery ruined because of you?”

Belial listens to me and doesn’t understand why.

It’s really nonsense to come this far and not see the end.

To kick away the chance to become a god, the divine position that everyone longs for, would not have been able to understand if Belial or anyone else was here.

“I-Ik…! How long are you going to mock me!!”

But despite my truthful reply, Belial still misinterprets my words.

Belial, who distorts and interprets my words without listening to me, does not understand my true feelings at all.

…Strictly speaking, the problem is with me.

The tone is like this, but who will listen seriously… Eh, then should I be more serious?

“Quickly kill me and continue the Pandemonium—- Oops…!!”

“Noisy.”

Belial, who was sitting in the air and trembling, closed his mouth and lifted it up as it was and made it stand on its own two legs.

Belial, who had been fighting me with all sorts of magic and skills, has disappeared, leaving only a girl staring at me with her mouth shut.

“I think you’re misunderstanding, so I’ll say it again. I’m not interested in status.”

“Ooh, ooh… oops…”

“You came under me in the first place, didn’t you insult me first? I just returned the insult as it is, but I can’t believe that you climbed up to the underworld with such anger.”

After covering Belial’s mouth, he brought his face close to him and spoke one by one so that he could clearly understand.

Unable to act, Belial just held her breath and listened to me while staring at me. Belial’s trembling eyes were so close that my eyes could be seen reflected in them.

“You must know very well that I’ve been fighting on purpose until now. But you still don’t understand the meaning of it and keep trying to fight, what’s so weak and your pride so high?”

“town…”

“There is only one thing I can say for sure. Go back to the Demon Realm.”

“Puha…”

After saying that, I relaxed my hands, and Belial stared blankly at me with slightly closed eyes.

Belial, who continued to not interpret my words directly, seems to have realized that her judgments were wrong, judging from the fact that her body is not stable and continues to shake.

Well, I think I’ve figured this out for sure.

Then, now we have to purify the surroundings pickled in magi—

“Hey, over there…”

The moment I was about to organize my seat, Belial’s slightly trembling voice pierced my ears again.

It wasn’t the voice of a lofty voice as a demon, the ruler of the demon realm, or the voice of a dejected girl who let go of everything. It’s a tone I’ve never heard before.

“Do you still have something to say?”

“That… can you come to the demon realm? Ah, I’m not asking you to come under me, I’m just inviting you.”

what are you talking about

why do i go to hell

What else is respect?

“…?”

“…?”

When I look at Belial with a puzzled expression, Belial also looks at me with a puzzled expression.

No, I have to make that expression. What if you do?

“Because you’re a devil, can’t you come to the demon realm…?”

“Is it that important?”

“…you can’t come.”

what, how did you know

If I said outright that there was no way to go to the Demon Realm, it would look a little funny, so I tried to change my words, but Belial understood it in an instant and made an indescribably mysterious expression.

No, if I could understand it right away like this, I would have understood it earlier…

“That… well, please accept this.”

Belial’s horn, which had been cut off, is handed to me in my bewilderment.

I want to say why are you giving me something like this, but the atmosphere feels like I have to accept it.

What… Anyway, from Belial’s point of view, it doesn’t matter because you can make Magi grow back?

“…See you later. I won’t be in the underworld for long, so please come directly to the Pandemonium.”

I’d like to say something like, look at me, go back to the demon realm… but Belial’s expression and atmosphere aren’t in the mood to bring that up.

After greeting me, Belial gathers the dark purple demons that spread around her and makes them into her own wings and flies into the cracks in the cracked earth.

And as soon as Belial is accepted, the cracked earth heals in an instant and returns to the original earth.

…What is this?

The aftertaste is very unpleasant… Is it okay since it worked out?
