"Phew. I'm tired of dealing with kids."
Leaving out of the cave with a confused spirit, Reese takes a sigh and calms her body for a while.
Rain turned its head with closed eyes.
"... How did it go?"
"Absolutely."
Reese laughed.
"It's hard right now... but after a little more time, I mean, you can make it an unconditional puppet."
"Well done."
Nod.
Making Lucis a puppet. It was an important part of this initiative.
It is encouraging that the plan, which was halfway abandoned by Balzahark's dark magic, was successful with the help of Reese.
'Although the process was a bit like that.'
It is undeniable that it was a horrible sight that could not be seen with both eyes open.
'Well, it worked, though.'
I kept my mouth shut with a trembling expression.
Reese approaches him. He said in a depressed voice.
"Don't get me wrong, Demon."
"… what do you want?"
"I cut all the tentacles I used this time. I didn't use the body at all. Well, I mean..."
I bite with a worrying look.
"I didn't cheat on you!"
"……."
I never thought of it that way.
It's rather surprising that you can think like that.
"Ugh…. I didn't want to do this to a man other than the Demon King.."
"Oh, yeah. Thank you."
He nodded with an awkward expression.
Clearly, it was not unusual for Reese to react like that because she seduced a kid who had no identity with her loved one.
"It's okay. I believe it."
Believing was not a lie.
Valoc and Reese.
These two demons spent a really long time with him.
Believe me, there's no saving it.
Infinitely cruel to the enemy, but you cannot draw the sword into your allies.
It's just a crazy manganese, not a king.
"Argh."
Reese hugs in the rain with her eyes shining.
Is it because of being human? I didn't feel particularly objectionable.
"Oh, this wasn't the time."
Reese shakes her head and falls.
"I have something to report."
I think there's a reason I came to see him for the first time.
"I've got a little problem."
"What's the problem?"
"There was a branch of the Demon Church that I was watching. It's a huge branch with thousands of people, just like I used to be in Tibet."
"Yes."
"I was going to shed a little bit of information this time and drive Lucifer towards the branch to make an all-out war happen… but the plan was a little twisted."
"... Keep talking."
Rain shined sharply on her eyes.
"I'm trying to avoid an all-out war on the Devil's Bridge."
"Hmm."
"I was hoping to take out a big number and fight like Marmon did before... I think the Devil Church would abandon the branch and run away."
"……."
I kept my mouth firmly shut.
I opened my eyes thinly, and I was submerged.
'I don't like it.'
I feel like there is a contradiction between Lucifer and the Devil's Church, consuming the power of both forces, and taking the fisherman's geography.
'What the hell.'
I thought about overestimating demonism.
"No."
I shook my head.
I have continued to see the Devil Church since I came to Earth. I fought them, I fought them.
An intuition close to conviction was speaking.
'They've got something to hide.'
It wouldn't be one or two either.
Nor was it necessary to list concrete evidence.
They woke up Marmon.
Yet Marmon did not feel like he was' leading 'them.
If Mamon were the chief who led them, there is no way the Devil would have returned so flat after his defeat.
There must be someone else.
You don't think Satan is leading the Devil's Church? '
Too much thought.
I erased the possibility that came to mind.
"Anyway."
I couldn't stand it.
"I can't help it."
I raised my body.
"What are you going to do?"
"They're serving what is now the status of evil. But mostly I don't know who the status of the evil is."
One of the anomalies in Devil's Bridge.
They serve the 'status of evil'.
But we don't know exactly who the status of evil is or whether it was evil or human in the first place.
Maybe that evil status was purposefully created to hide who he was, but it's actually a very deformed structure for a group close to a fanatical group.
'It's like serving an invisible king.'
I don't know why I hid my identity so far, but I was able to use it.
"I do, though."
"If so."
Rain lifted the mask. Red Devil's Mask, now more familiar than Guardians' Mask.
"I need you to be their king."
A dark smile was concealed in the mask.
* * *
"Hey, you can't win."
"Why does the Grand Duke... buy us, no orders at the top?"
"Nothing yet... I can't reach you."
A region in Africa.
Tens of people gathered under a huge basement built under a vast desert.
Demons who wear black robes despite the hot weather in the desert.
It was the cardinals who came here to hear the voice of the executive among the devils.
Boom!
"Hey, I can't believe I don't even have instructions! What the hell am I supposed to do?"
"Yu, what about Julia?"
"Julia is also out of touch."
Heavy silence sat down.
Only a deep sigh filled the room.
"What the hell is the status of evil...?"
Someone murmured.
Everyone shook their heads.
The phase of evil.
The existence they serve and worship.
But the king they serve was so hidden in the veil.
It is no wonder that the morale of soldiers hits the ground because the king does not appear in the most urgent circumstances.
"Here, I had no choice but to retreat."
"Yes. I think it would be better to retreat first...."
I never did!
Suddenly, there was a black crack in the air.
"Wh, what?!"
"What the hell happened…."
Demons turn their heads toward the sudden crack.
Jerbuck. Jerbuck.
Red Devil Mask.
Darkness that covered the whole body like a tent.
An overwhelming sense of pressure slowly shifted his steps.
"Hiya, Hiya!"
"Lou, Lucifer?!"
The name came naturally to mind in a gigantic magi that I had never felt before.
The demons trembled with a bluish expression.
The Red Devil Mask faces them.
[You don't even recognize the owner.]
"… Yes?"
[Chuckles] Pathetic.]
A lousy voice.
In front of the table, an unidentified person shakes his hand lightly.
Quong
"Huff!"
One of the cardinals sitting on the throne bounced back.
The overwhelming enemy, the marvelous Magi, crushed them.
Glub. I dragged the chair.
"You…."
"No way."
[What is the status of evil now?]
As if questioned, a low voice flowed out.
[Now, it's before your eyes.]
"Ah, ah!"
The Red Devil Mask tilted.
[I am your father. Creator of darkness, ruler of darkness.]
Viscous Magi wraps around the demons.
Like a knife, he said.
[I am Satan.]
"Ah, aaaah!!"
"You are in a state of evil!!"
"O Satan!!"
Demons kneel.
It was transmuted.
Satan.
No one will know its existence on Earth.
Demons tremble at the status of the evil they have been serving so far.
[Trying to escape?]
"That's it, that's it."
I got tired of the devil's face, which brought out the words.
Satan reached out.
The Devil's head was sucked into his hands with intense suction.
Percussion.
I clenched my fist lightly, and I burst my head.
A dark blood smell filled the room.
[Demons don't run away.]
"Ugh."
"Sin, sorry!"
Demons with their heads tightened.
[Why do you serve the devil?]
Satan raised his body.
[Why humans serve demons, worship and fear. It was one in the first place. It's been set from the beginning.]
I spoke with a voice full of aspiration, longing and madness.
[Eternal Life? What does it mean to live forever as a slave without dying? Desire? Unfulfilled desire is only a curse. You did not serve the devil with anything like that.]
Bang, roll your feet.
[Power! The power to trample the batter and have Orots on it! You didn't need it!]
The cry of Satan.
The demons trembled.
It creeped over my skin.
[Fleeing? Compromise? There is no such thing as a demon! Crave, fight! Take it! Kill the enemy and eat its flesh! Drink the blood! We existed for it!!]
"Ah, ah."
In an instant.
A charisma that overwhelms the left in less than a minute.
The Devil did not shut up about its overwhelming presence.
Satan took something out of his arms and threw it on the table.
It's a coincidence.
Dozens of black gems scattered on the table.
"This, this."
"Due...?"
[Eat.]
Satan recited it.
[I will give you my strength. Fight. Kill the False Grand Duke, who dares to exterminate Demon Church.]
The eyes in the red mask burned.
[For me, die.]
"Aaaaaah!!"
"Satan!!"
"The status of evil!!!!"
A demon who began to go mad.
Beyond the mask, Satan's mouth rises.
* * *
Tac, hit! Urgent steps.
A giant cave filled with ice was run by Inyeong.
The robe's hood was peeled off, revealing its face.
Face badly distorted by burn.
A man with a horrible appearance runs with a rough breath.
Soon a giant black sphere appeared before her eyes.
A black sphere that is pulsating, like the heart of a giant.
Julia, the woman who came in together, cried out.
"Satan!!!"
Kugu Gugu Bow!!
The sound of a branch.
The ice powder poured from the ceiling fell to the floor.
The black sphere moves, wriggling.
[What's going on?]
"Well, that's..."
Julia stutters.
Satan squirms his body piled up in the black darkness.
[Tell me. If it doesn't make sense to wake me, I will kill your soul..]
"Satan."
Julia swallowed a hunchback.
"Satan has appeared."
[…….]
Heavily seated silence.
[... what?]
What's that supposed to mean?
