Chapter 35: Adaptation (2)

Beiros slowly opened his eyes.

He seemed to have slept for a long time, and seemed to have had a very terrible nightmare.

In his hazy mind, he put his hand on his forehead and slowly got up.

I felt it when I looked out the window and saw the reddish sky of the demon realm.

"It wasn't a nightmare."

He applied for a rank match against Jamie Welton, and was ultimately defeated in a close battle.

why did you lose

He replayed the match in his head at the time.

Jamie Welton was good at miscellaneous skills, but his overall ability was definitely higher.

Wasn't the opponent also aware of that and avoided a head-on confrontation?

But the rush was a problem.

I judged that the time was dragging on the continuous wear and tear, and from there I felt impatient.

Even the words of Himera kept coming to mind, and it turned into a body that could be done slowly.

'That was the biggest mistake.'

Jamie Welton waited for Beiros to become a full demon dragon.

It's not certain, but if you think about his attack that followed immediately, no matter how much you think about it, you can only see that he induced it.

It turned out to be a handshake.

Its gigantic body made it difficult to avoid the opponent's attack, and evasion was impossible in the dark space it had experienced before.

The stats that had the upper hand gradually narrowed, and it was he who fell last in a mutually exhausting situation.

"Damn!!"

Kwaang!!

Beiros couldn't contain his anger and slammed the wall.

As I watched the crumbling stones fall, I was worried about my future situation.

'How am I?'

Naturally, he knew he would win and put Jamie Welton in a rank match.

But now that he failed gracefully, all he had left was his body.

He was no longer the 6th highest Asmodian, nor was he the Demon Count of the Lust Corps.

If he had died, he wouldn't have felt so miserable, but his master, the Demon King of Seol lust, forbade him to kill him in this rank battle.

That was when Beiros was feeling troubled.

"What is our 'ex' Count doing with a gloomy face?"

Himera opened the door and entered.

He was smiling very badly, very far from his usual fake laughter.

It looked as if it was the original expression.

" Himera."

"Uh-huh."

When Beiros glared at him with bitter eyes, Himera said with a cheeky expression.

Cute, who's name is the lower one calling out?

what?

"You are short!"

Himera pulled out her whip and struck Beiros.

Naturally, Beiros tried to stop him, but an unknown force stopped him from moving.

squash-

A whip ran across his cheek.

Blood was dripping down, it didn't hurt very much, but I felt very bad.

Himera's words continued.

"According to the laws of the Demon Realm, you are no longer my business. I mean, you're not a high-ranking demon, you're lowly!

Then he swung the whip again, but again, he couldn't stop it.

Beiros shook his shoulders with an angry face.

Himera raised Beiros's chin up with her hand, and slapped her on the cheek with her hand.

"How do you feel? I feel like I have lost everything."

"You bastard, I'll tear you apart and kill you."

"Heh heh heh. in what way? According to the laws of the demon realm, you cannot touch me. Or would you bet on a sequence match? Ha ha ha ha ha! I can't! You have to live like that for the rest of your life!"

"Did you plan to do this from the beginning?"

In response to Beiros' question, Himera stopped stroking her cheek and began to chuckle and laugh.

"It's a plan . I don't really have any plans. You know how to get mad, so what do I have to plan?"

"That means you knew I was going to fight Jamie Welton."

"Catch and ask any demon who passes by. Is there anyone who doesn't know that? But, I just scratched it a little more."

" Scratched?"

okay. So that you can follow the path of defeat. Even those were simple things."

It was then that the words Himera had said began to come to mind one by one.

- I have a way.

-Isn't it enough if you don't kill it?

- Well, the choice is yours.

It was just a few simple words, but they were enough to stimulate Beiros at the time.

Yes.

All of Himera's words made Jamie Welton look down.

Naturally, Beiros was much stronger, and Jamie Welton could not even be an opponent.

Of course, Beiros thought he was stronger than his few words, but being vigilant was another story.

Moreover, to lead to this situation meant that Himera was predicting Jamie Welton would be the winner.

"Did you know Jamie Welton would win?"

"I had a glimpse of his power."

Himera did not hide her heart.

"It was a brief flight, but it wasn't difficult to check his strength. Because I am a monma incubus."

Dreams can intervene in the emotions of creatures.

Therefore, it is possible to enter the target's dream and extort the spirit.

Jamie Welton was a man with a strong desire to win, and he easily fell for Himera's provocations.

Of course, it was difficult to gauge each other's level with just a little intervention, but because they were a dreamer, they could read how much power they were hiding.

'I wasn't sure that person was going to win, but... .'

Jamie Welton and Beiros stand still.

In fact, now he is talking like a prophet, as if he knew everything, but Himera's purpose was twofold in the first place.

Jamie Welton, who seems to be favored by the Demon Lord, died, or Beiros, who was relentless in hatred, died.

Neither of them died in the end, but the best result was that Beiros suffered a terrible humiliation.

"Why?"

Beiros asked Himera with an incomprehensible face.

"Why did you betray me?"

"Is there any betrayal? I belong to the same corps in the first place, am I not your direct subordinate?"

I'm not asking that! Why did you take the side of that man!"

iced coffee. What are you asking for something obvious?"

Himera said with a cold expression on her face.

"Because your bastard killed my lover. I am expressing my legitimate anger!"

puck! puck! puck! puck!

Himera, who strengthened her whip with her magic, slapped Beiros without mercy.

Large wounds were made randomly on his body.

However, the difference in power between the two was so great that it was impossible to inflict significant damage.

First, the exhausted Himera panted, and Beiros asked again.

lover?

"Malivion, who was poisoned 6th in the overall ranking. you killed him This is absolutely unforgivable!"

"That's funny."

Beiros laughed at Himera as the whipping began again.

"To take revenge on me in this way in the demon realm ruled by the strong man. You are disqualified as a demon."

Shut up!! you are nothing! It's nothing now!! Ha ha ha ha!"

After that, the whipping continued for several more hours.

Beiros, who was covered in blood as if Himera had left and his whole body had been mutilated, couldn't even laugh at his situation.

Damn it.

With only a short swear word, he was pessimistic about his own situation.

* * *

About a week has passed since the rank-and-file battle.

Fully recovered, Jamie came out early to warm up.

"I haven't moved for a week, and I feel like my body has already hardened."

It was unavoidable that the body was stiff because it was right after recovering from a serious injury.

Jamie pulled out the barisada and simply swung it to check the condition.

At times like this, I thought I was good at learning the sword.

If he hadn't mastered the sword until now, he would have been sitting in bed and meditating in boredom.

In that regard, sweating was probably more helpful than meditation.

When you reach trance, it becomes a state similar to meditation, isn't it?

He was sweating in the middle of the morning when someone approached him.

"Jamie Welton."

When I turned around, there was a small red-skinned demon that I had pointed out when I first opened my eyes in the castle.

uh. it's you What happened?

I Are you all right?"

"As you can see. Are you here to say hello?"

We've only seen each other for a while, but I didn't think it was worth asking about each other's well-being.

Again, the little devil shook his head and talked about the business.

"Oh, no. Your Majesty has asked me to bring you, so I'm here.

As a courtesy, it could be said that he was also asking for his regards, but the small demon spoke so clearly that he was harsh.

"Usually it is said that they came here on a whim, but you openly say no."

to? That's not it!"

The little devil was startled by Jamie's point and tried to make excuses, but it was a good thing for Jamie.

"Tra The demon lord of lust is calling me? stop go I'm going to wash up.

"Ugh. Then stop!"

The little devil nodded with a bewildered face and disappeared as if running away.

"Funny guy."

It was funny that he was shy and had a timid personality.

And it was a little cute.

Would you say it's like a doll?

I thought he was a good character to play with.

Jamie wiped away his sweat as he continued his nonsensical thoughts, and headed straight for Trika's residence.

* * *

"How is your body?"

"How? It's just fine in moderation."

Jamie sat slanted on the luxurious sofa, sipping tea from the maid.

"Wow."

The taste was very disgusting.

Are you offering something like this to drink?

If this was the Welton family mansion, the handmaiden who put this out would have been very upset.

"Isn't this rotten?"

"It is a tea made by decoction of herbs that are rare in the Demon World. It is a rare car that is very difficult to obtain."

Damn it. I forgot that this is the Demon Realm."

"Looks like it doesn't taste good."

"You don't even have a tongue? Oh, no tongue."

"There is no camouflage. It seems to have happened before."

Jamie grinned at the joke that only the undead could do.

"So, how is he doing?"

"Let's go together."

Jamie nodded and headed with Trika to the room Beiros was staying (virtually locked up).

After the defeat in the fight against the sorority, he had been subjected to a lot of pretty terrible things.

You could tell just by looking at the front of the room, but there were ugly swear words and graffiti all around it.

Although he still feared Beiros, it seemed that there were many who wanted to insult him as he fell into the abyss.

"Beiros. I will go in."

Tri-Car was in a position where he did not need permission, so he opened the door at will.

Jamie frowned at the musty smell of iron in the room.

"What does this smell like "

I covered my nose and went into the room, but a very tragic sight was unfolding.

Blood was splattered everywhere, and rotten flesh was scattered everywhere.

Beiros was sitting like a prisoner in the middle of the bed, looking fine thanks to his super-regenerative powers, but he could tell by looking at him that he wasn't in good shape.

"You look like you're in a savage spirit? yo. This.

Jamie, who was about to speak as usual, looked into Beiros's eyes, and then added a yaw to the end.

Trika also coughed and said comfortably to Jamie.

"Because that's what losing the sequence is."

Those who lose rank usually end in death, but if they survive, they will experience this disgrace.

In the world of self-defense, to be humiliated for doing nothing to those weaker than oneself was a punishment worse than death.

Jamie walked to that trika.

His eyes were half dead, and he didn't seem to care who was here.

Hey.

" ."

Hey!

When he called and there was no answer, Jamie looked at Trika once, and as Trika nodded, he slapped Beiros on the back relentlessly.

men and horses!

"Big! who else... !"

Beiros, awakened by a random slap, hurriedly looked around and found Jamie, twisting his face like a monster and trying to run at him.

"What kind of face is you in front of me!!"

"Beiros."

At that time, Beiros paused at Trika's call, found him, and hurriedly knelt down and slammed his head into the ground.

"See you, Your Majesty!"

"You bastard, you're so fucking sick to me."

Jamie frowned and stood up.

Then, when he stepped back a little, Trika said to his subordinate, with his knees slightly bent.

"How was this week?"

" It was like hell."

"For a week, you have become the weakest being here. Your hasty actions have caused this."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Sorry to disappoint you. One more chance for me... Please give me one more chance!!"

"Everything is already out of my hands."

iced coffee my god please !"

"But there is someone here who will give you a chance."

Yes?

At the last words of the Demon King, Beiros raised his head.

no way.

Beiros saw the smiling man behind the trika with trembling eyes.

It was Jamie Welton, who was laughing at him with a very eerie expression, with impressive emerald hair.

"Ma, Your Majesty the Demon King."

"Let the two of you talk. If you want to seize the opportunity again."

Trika disappeared leaving only those words.

Beiros thought while looking at the human who had the right to escape from life.

'Just kill me!'

There was no end to the humiliation.
