Chapter 103: Devil Of Mountain [2]

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.

"You seem to be mistaken. Conscience is also a type of intelligence. Aren't all things in the world related? Why do you do something that will ruin your reputation?"

-That's my existence...

"Hey! Listen to me for a moment. Why do you do such bad things to humans?"

- It's to steal the spirit energy. Every soul has a special power.

"Look at that. So what's the easiest way to fool people?"

-Showing strength?

"Wrong. It's a matter of gaining favor. If the other person trusts me, wouldn't they believe me no matter what I say?"

-Oh?

The mountain devil nodded, perhaps because he was intrigued by the story.

When I thought this was the moment, I pointed to the pile of dirt and rocks and continued speaking.

"It's the same now. Instead of causing a landslide to instill fear, you should save people in trouble."

-No, does that mean you'll like me?

"This is a real big deal, you devil. Don't you know how to make an image?"

-How do you do that?

"Let's start by changing the face. If you're a demon, you should be able to transform."

-Of course.

Sweep!

A dark aura rippled, and the opponent transformed into my appearance.

It felt like looking in a mirror, perhaps because the shape was exactly the same.

But I shook my head firmly.

"You don't have any individuality. What are you going to do by imitating others? Are you going to be a fake for the rest of your life?"

-No way!

"You have to have an identity. Your own identity."

This time, it was a face that was a mix of me and Cordell.

"Hey, you uncreative kid."

In the end, I coached him carefully.

It was something like this.

How much higher can your nose be?

What about the eyes?

Then, a fairly plausible result came out.

Actually, I had no creativity whatsoever.

I advised him to look like a famous celebrity I saw on TV.

Well, what does it matter?

There is no such person in this world.

"That's perfect. I'll keep doing this from now on."

-What next?

"You have to help people. Then they will give you their spirits without you having to force them away."

-I don't know how to do that?

I was momentarily speechless at the other person's question.

But I used my wits and averted the crisis.

"Okay. Then tell me how to do it first."

-It's simple. I just have to put my hand on their head.

"So what's the result?"

-No big deal. The spirit will recover over time. Of course, the person will be a bit dazed for a while.

"What? It's not that threatening."

―Some beings living in the Demon World make contracts to have their souls completely taken away.

I felt like I was starting to get the hang of it.

Just as Adam was a clumsy demigod, so was this guy.

Even though they looked similar, they weren't real devils.

'Is there room for compromise?'

Isn't that true?

Adam also appeared at first as a hideous monster.

But what about now?

He was a full-fledged member of the Carriers Duchy.

There's no reason this guy couldn't be like that.

'It's great that the ability also looks outstanding.'

If it's enough to cause a landslide, it can do other things too.

I said, putting my right hand forward.

"Just keep doing that. If you keep helping people, they'll bow their heads on their own."

-I'll have to think about it. It hasn't actually been proven yet, right?

"Then try it somewhere."

I said, pointing behind me with my thumb.

Then, at that very moment, I felt quite a lot of movement.

There happened to be a group approaching the path.

"Hello. Can you tell me what's going on?"

A man who appeared to be the head of the group greeted me.

I briefly explained the situation.

There was no need to speak at length.

It's obvious that the road was blocked by a landslide.

"This is going to be difficult. It's going to take a long time to go around the Magretta area."

"But we can't go through the volcanic zone. It's too dangerous."

"The weather looks like it might rain. If this continues, the product might spoil."

Soon several leaders came and inspected the blocked road.

Worried sighs erupted from all sides.

I shrugged and looked at the mountain devil.

Then the guy nodded as if he understood.

-Don't worry too much. I'll try to do something.

The upper echelons asked with wide eyes.

"What on earth are you planning to do?"

-Please wait a moment.

Soon the mountain devil stretched out both his hands into the air and began to mutter something.

I couldn't understand the content, but one thing seemed certain.

'Surprisingly, you're good at showmanship?'

Doesn't it feel like you're doing something great?

It was as if I had taught him one thing, and he knew ten.

After a while, the dirt and rocks that had been blocking the path began to flow away.

Kurrururur!

It was truly an amazing sight to see nature moving as if it were alive.

Cordell McNeil opened his mouth with a hollow laugh.

"Wow! That's really amazing."

"Right? This is my first time seeing something like that. It's incredibly powerful and a pretty good ability."

"No. Not him. Your Majesty."

"What?"

As I tilted my head at the sudden comment, the explanation followed immediately.

"I've never seen anyone boil a horse with words. In fact, isn't His Majesty the Duke even scarier?"

Oh, I guess you could feel that way.

I deliberately gave a crooked smile.

Then Cordell's face turned pale.

'Ugh, ugh! I'm scared.'
