Chapter 102: Devil Of Mountain [1]

It wasn't me who scream it, but a voice coming from under the ground.

"Huh? What is this?"

"That's right. Why is there a human voice coming from the dirt?"

"Let's dig it up first."

"Yes."

As I cleared the area with my shovel, the screamer appeared.

But it didn't look human at all.

Dark skin, a horn on its forehead, and golden eyes that glowed ominously.

It looked like...

"A devil?"

Anyone would answer that way. Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As expected, Cordell McNeil's expression suddenly distorted.

"Damn, I got the bad feeling about this."

"Why? What is this?"

"You just said it. The devil."

"No, is that true?"

"Unfortunately, it is true. Your Majesty, you have a friend who brought you to court."

"Are you talking about The God of the Earth."

"Yeah, You can think of it as someone who stands on the opposite side of him. To be exact, he's not a real devil."

"I guess he's half-demon."

"Oh! That's correct."

One guy suddenly came to mind when I heard Cordell's explanation.

Peltron, who united the northern nomads and emerged as a great threat to the empire.

He too would be a similar being.

Anyway, I figured out the identity, but I still had questions.

"What on earth were you doing here?"

―...

The half-demon didn't answer at all.

He just looked up at me as if he found me strange.

I've become a lot more handsome since I came to this world, but my tastes are still the same.

"I won't date anyone who isn't a human woman. So don't be interested." Your journey continues at m v|l-e'-NovelFire.net

-You really are a strange guy.

"What?"

―A soul that shines so brilliantly... How could a human be like this?

"I saved the you who was buried in a landslide, but as soon as I saw you, you said nonsense. Am I going to bury you again?"

-you won't do that.

The half-demon smiled mischievously.

And then, all of a sudden, he just jumped up.

Thud thud thud!

Dirt and rocks fell instantly.

It must have weighed at least several tons, and it was truly a tremendous force.

"No, you got out easily. Why on earth were you doing that?"

―... This is a question that doesn't necessarily need an answer.

He turned his head and responded calmly, but I instantly noticed his feelings.

Hasn't everyone experienced something like this at least once?

I'm talking about the experience of falling down in front of a lot of people.

At that time, the embarrassment was greater than the pain.

So, either he can't get up right away, or he run away immediately.

It seems like this guy was the latter.

'Did he just wait for us to leave?'

Even if he was half-devil, he would have been a little flustered.

What kind of crazy person would try to dig through a landslide with a shovel?

Most people would choose to go back, even if it is far.

It was at that very moment when I was about to ignore him and finish digging.

'Huh? No way?'

A thought suddenly popped into my head.

I asked the half-demon who was shaking off the dirt from his body.

"Then can I ask you something else?"

-I would have ignored you originally, but you seem interesting, so I'm listening. What is it?

"This landslide. Did you cause it?"

―...

He didn't say anything.

The once playful gaze had sunk deeply into a shadow, as if nothing had happened.

Now, curiosity was gone, and hostility was creeping in.

It seems that I hit the nail on the head.

"I guess you're some kind of mountain devil."

―...

The opponent was still silent.

Although it was just a rough guess, it was a somewhat well-founded guess.

Adam, who freely handles stones, dirt, minerals, etc., is the god of the earth.

This guy caused a landslide, so he must be the devil of the mountains.

But then again, it seemed like it hit the mark, like a cow backing off and catching a rat.

-Can humans have precognition or the ability to read minds? Without the power of God?

"What are you talking about? I just assumed."

―You are still a strange guy, even when I see you again. Okay. If that's the case, what are you going to do?

"The story is moving fast."

-I don't know what you're talking about.

"Don't you understand? You caused the landslide?"

-Yeah.

"Then it's your responsibility to restore it. Put it back to how it was immediately."

The mountain devil looked at me as if he were dumbfounded.

It seemed like he felt more than hostility, but rather absurdity.

I guess that's the only way.

Most people would have been busy begging for their lives or running away as soon as they saw the guy.

But I wasn't scared at all.

'Even the god of the earth was steamed, so what about the devil of the mountain?'

If it's not enough, just smash the pot.

I nodded my head with that mindset, but soon my thoughts had to change.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk!

This was because the black energy released from the opponent's body engulfed the entire area.

"Ugh! Your Majesty, be careful."

Cordell groaned and blocked my path.

A person who is usually naughty and disobedient responded this seriously?

He must have felt an overwhelming sense of crisis.

Actually, I was also surprised by the aura emitted by the mountain devil.

'Has there ever been an opponent this strong?'

Strictly speaking, there were some who defied expectations.

Emperor Eren, Empress Zarina, Princess Justia, etc.

I'm talking about people whose character information window isn't fully displayed.

'Then this guy too?'

The moment my will was stirred, holographic words appeared before my eyes.

[Information about an unknown subject cannot be confirmed.]

The system's functionality has grown significantly over the years.

However, I still had to go through the full name verification process to bring up the character information window.

I said, lightly touching Cordell's shoulder.

"Hey, calm down. We have no intention of fighting."

―You should use some sophistry. After making such a demand?

"No, that's right. You're just going to do something like this and leave? Hey, even if you're the devil, there's no way you'd have no conscience."

-Haa!

The opponent blinked with a hollow laugh.

Cordell McNeil also looked dumbfounded.

Where have you ever heard something like, "The devil has no conscience?"

But I was confident.

There is no gap in my logic.
