Chapter 403

Episode 403 One Person (9)

After my memory progressed a bit, I realized.

“Oh crazy. Come to think of it, I had a fight with this guy’s gluttony!”

And gluttony is a devil with a hive-shaped body. A scream came out of my mouth, which had never screamed for a long time due to stomach problems.

* * *

As the sun slowly sets over the other side. Deathbringer sensed something abnormal.

“Well... don’t you think you’ve been sleeping too long?”

“hmm?”

“You haven’t woken up yet.”

As it got past noon, it was time to color the evening sky. Even if the average person overslept, they wouldn’t sleep this much. Moreover, the target is an adventurer? It’s also a bit uncomfortable. This wasn’t typical at all.

“...wake me up.”

“Meister?”

Even Meister, who was thinking deeply, came to a similar conclusion. It is clear that his sharp mind also recognized the suspiciousness of this situation.

“lily?”

“hey.”

In the end, two people took the lead and woke up the adventurer. I sincerely hope that he has fallen asleep for the first time in a long time.

“lily.”

Shake it.

However, when I put my hand on my shoulder and held it with appropriate force and shook it.

The object that was supposed to react just stumbled helplessly and did not open its eyelids. Shaking. Even if I pulled and pushed harder, it was the same.

“Nari—”

Tuk.

In the end, the unbalanced body fell limp against the side of the basket like a corpse. The closed eyes still show no sign of opening, as if they had been glued on.

“lily...?”

“Hey...”

The backs of the two people’s necks felt tense.

* * *

“Aaaah!! “It’s gross!!!”

I saw Mephistopheles riding on a hive-type body.

Dozens of flies are whizzing around in front of her, but her steps do not waver at all. The expression covered by the skull probably doesn’t even have a trace of a frown on it.

[That’s disgusting.]

If you really find it disgusting, it would be right to run away right away.

I admired her calm voice and checked the spot where she was reaching. A heart full of maggots constantly rising.

It was clear what she was aiming for. It’s the heart.

Cluck cluck.

The torn and damaged gloves wandered through the bugs, looking for something. In the process, all kinds of unpleasant situations arose, but the devil did not give in.

The person who finally found the heart made of a single imago held it up.

Should I be glad that it’s not a colony, or should I complain that it’s still not good for my stomach. When I saw her biting into her heart, I covered my mouth for no reason.

I felt bad inside.

[It’s not tasty.]

“Ugh.”

It’s been a difficult life to watch in many ways, but this one has been difficult in a particularly different way. I turned my head to see her shaking her head. Fortunately, she didn’t eat that much.

[...There’s no need for this.]

She held the brain made of rotten flesh in her hand and threw it on the floor. It was a very right choice. That’s not something people can eat. It was even more so now that my immunity was weakened due to all the injuries.

Well, just because you have a good immune system doesn’t mean you can eat it.

Sniff sniff.

At that time, a huge pig poked its head in from afar. I’m not sure if I can describe it as a pig, but the overall shape was roughly that way.

“Behemoth... is it?”

It originally looked like that.

I compared the Behemoths I fought with the Behemoths of the past. There was a subtle difference in the appearance of the two, perhaps because of whether or not they had strengthened themselves by eating Beelzebub.

So, should I say that when fighting me, it was like an awakening +2 card, and now it’s like a non-awakening card. Anyway, there is nothing overall. Poor.

[Not even ungrateful. [I can’t even recognize the owner.]

Behemoth of the past picked up the corpse of Beelzebub scattered on the ground and began to eat it.

“If it’s not a curse or a trick, wouldn’t it be okay to just shake it and wake it up?”

In an instant, people’s faces changed into those of dumb people.

“...It’s so primitive that it’s hard to believe it’s something the Great Master said.”

“no. It’s not a curse or anything, or it’s just that I fell into a deep sleep because of the devil. Then wouldn’t it be possible to wake it up with an external shock? “There are no physical injuries, so you won’t die from a strong external impact.”

“...It’s shocking that this sound is even persuasive.”

Daniel lamented like someone doubting his ability to think. The same was true for Deathbringer. Their hands touched their respective foreheads.

“Isn’t that true?”

“Is this correct...?”

On the other hand, Berserk and Inquisitor, which were extremely simple, were almost completely persuasive and remained silent. In fact, it wasn’t even a gingaminga, it was closer to being completely tempting. The two people’s faces were tilted to the side.

“...? ...!”

The girl who saw Berserk’s tilt also moved her head to the side.

“It’s a really basic method... but it might surprisingly be a solution.”

“...Is that true?”

“I see.”

At that time, the Archmage stopped thinking and voted in agreement. Daniel was surprised by her statement, but instead turned his head towards the commandment. It was an act of asking for consent, asking if you would make the same judgment. Even though it was a somewhat reflexive action that was surprisingly surprising.

“What are you? “Do you trust that guy more than me?”

“It’s not that I trust that person, it’s that I don’t trust you...”

“What the fuck?”

However, since the Archmage expressed his agreement, I don’t know if it will really be the answer. Daniel said with a cautious look, “Shall we try?” Naturally, Meister did not hide his irritation.

“Can I just wake him up?”

However, regardless of whether Meister was annoyed or not, they did not stop taking action once they had made up their minds. The people gathered in droves looked down at the adventurer.

“You just need to shake it, right?”

“Wouldn’t that be better?”

Several hands reached out towards the adventurer.

How far has the point of view been skipped?

I was confused about this scene, seeing the point in time that was skipped over after I became the devil. Most of the scenes were just fights, so there was no need to rush to figure things out. All you had to do was check the target you were fighting and the surrounding situation.

[Yes... you named Mephistopheles...]

But who is it this time?

[I thought he was just trash, but did you know he would make this choice?]

He rode a mountain goat as big as a bull and wore a black top hat and a cape that reached down to his ankles. The silhouette felt underneath is clearly a humanoid, but it is not a perfect humanoid in that there is a mask with a smiling expression instead of a head.

[There is nothing short of it that dares to be called anger.]

There... white gloves are worn on the hands, but the wrists that should be connected underneath them are missing. The same goes for ankles. Only shoes or trousers that click together exist under the cape, and the intermediate process connecting the two is not visible.

Suzaku had at least a spark, but this one didn’t even have that.

[What are you?]

[Did you ask who I am?]

But even though he looks like this, what is this energy that radiates from the hem of his clothes?

Mephistopheles, who had never been intimidated in any fight, showed signs of nervousness for the first time, and even when I search through my memories, there is nothing that seems equal to this energy.

[I am the master of this miserable world, the creator who can only conceive of destruction and birth, and the navigator endlessly heading to the world that exiled me.]

This being.

[I hope the world calls me like this]

I opened my mouth in a moment of sudden realization.

[The antagonist is called Satan.]

This is the last demon I have to catch.

[Mephistopheles. I offer you: Are you willing to fight with me?]

Satan.

“How can I catch this crazy thing!”

─A.

“No, actually, I think I can catch it if I do well!!”

─Damn it!

“If it doubles with Arrogance, then we’ll call it a real mangame—”

Adventurer!

My eyes flashed open with a loud cry.
