223 How to Corrupt a Saint (4)

"Ho."

Looking at the message window in front of my eyes, the rain shed elasticity.

"That's great."

I pushed it far enough into the gutter.

pushed to the limit, eliminating the breadth of choice.

I pulled it to the bottom of the floor, revealing a certain degree of truth.

By the way.

Even in those worst circumstances, he refused his offer.

Resisted the power of subordination.

"Amazing."

I admired his unshakeable beliefs, his unwavering purity.

I didn't think there was much chance of rejecting the deal in that situation.

"But."

I shrugged my shoulders, as if I were plasticized.

I didn't think there was much chance to say no.

On the other hand, I thought there was less chance to say no, but there could be.

And of course it is.

All the preparations are over.

"That's all."

The devil laughed.

* * *

"There is no compromise with the devil."

Like a chew, I said.

Ludwig uses the Holy Sword as a staff, causing him to stumble.

He knows that his choice is not the best one right now.

For the future, he was not stupid enough not to know that bending his faith was right for the continent of Raphael and Ernor.

'But.'

Ludwig's eyes shined sharply.

He knows well about demons. I know how evil, cruel and clever they are.

"Deal?"

Laughter flowed out.

Neither is it plasticized.

Satan did not speak of the price of the deal.

It's because I didn't have to say.

'Cause.'

I'm going to take everything from him.

If the price of the deal is all his, it is consequently the same for him to have a breakdown.

I'm not stupid enough to imagine that.

It's not a good idea to get out of here right now.

Before he even told Raphael this, he would become Satan's puppet and live his whole life.

Killing light serving colleagues with their own hands.

'I can't do that.'

Ludwig sharpened his eyes.

It is true that we must convey the information we have heard here to Raphael.

But borrowing the power of the devil in the process is rather self-sufficient.

It's just a shortcut to even greater destruction.

'If so.'

Ludwig gulps and swallows saliva.

I closed my eyes.

I put my mind together in one place.

Holy Sword Ludwig. He grasps his sword firmly while throwing away his name.

"I will give my life."

Towards the sword, Nazim said.

Whoops.

The Holy Sword vibrates. A white light flows.

Ludwig picks up a rough breath and raises his head.

There was a glowing light in his body.

At the expense of his life, he lowered the name of a skill he could not do otherwise.

"Light."

Oooooo!!!

The castration is vibratory.

A bursting light surrounded his body.

Fighter. Equivalent has been torn.

Four wings came out with torn equine skin.

I was not the wing of a fake angel made of light.

A wing held by a 'real' angel.

The glowing powder spread to all sides.

"Argh, Argh!"

Squeeze.

A huge force flowing from the Holy Sword flowed into his body.

A wave of power that exceeds the total amount of power that can be accepted by the human body.

"Argh, aah!!"

Exhale.

In a glorious light, I grabbed the Holy Sword and swung it.

Never!!

Darkness split.

* * *

[Demon King.]

Through the black sphere, the voice of Baloch flows.

His voice was stiff.

[Looks like the plan is off.]

"I know that from the looks of it."

My first plan.

Corrupting Ludwig and dominating him with subordinate power.

Using the Angel Apostle as a puppet.

The plan was twisted.

"Too bad."

Rain relieved his back on the chair backrest.

Last week.

I refined the plan that came to mind improvisationally when I made Reese and Dungeon.

I didn't just refine it, I tried to maximize the benefits of the plan.

'It seems like it failed.'

It was simple to prevent Ludwig from using the Holy Sword.

Very simply, kill him.

Dead humans can't use the Holy Sword.

But the rain wanted more than that.

He determined that if he made the effort to corrupt him in order to escape repetitive patterns, he should gain more.

'So I tried to use the power of subordination.'

Failed.

Ludwig thought it would be useful in many ways if he had complete power, but it was no longer easy to use.

[Do you want to kill?]

Balak asked in a voice full of life.

"Well…."

I got into trouble.

Rain shook her body in a chair and recalled the conversation she had with Balzahark.

Hmm. But that Ludwig guy, that's kind of close.

"Too bad?"

Yes. A human with such a powerful and marvelous body has never seen anything but the Master's brother. Perhaps... I was much better than Raynald.

"So?"

Hhhhh. If you make Desknight out of the author's flesh... maybe a great piece will be born. Excellent Death Knight... No, I can make Abyss Knight beyond just Death Knight.

'What's that Zola Sawyer's name?'

The parent object of Destinate. It can only be made out of a soul that has suffered a very unjust death. Maybe the power is... Hhhhh. Baloch won't be able to escape the classics.

'Umm.. Once dismissed, it will not be too late after leading to subordinate power anyway.'

A short conversation followed in my head.

The rains that continued to worry slowly opened their mouths.

"No, don't kill me."

[But if this is the case, he will go outside..]

"It's okay."

[He knows too much.]

A voice that worries me.

Rain smiled widely.

"Balok."

[Speak, my king.]

"What do you think is the way to corrupt a saint?"

[There are many ways to do that….]

"What if in some way, for some reason, it doesn't corrupt?"

[…….]

Balok was silent.

How to corrupt a saint who does not corrupt in any way.

In the first place, it is a question of logical contradiction.

There's no way there's an answer.

"Take a good look from now on."

Rain smiled.

"I'll teach you."

* * *

Never!!

Darkness split.

The outer wall of the cave was torn open.

In between, light flowed out.

'This place.'

I saw a ruined meadow.

It's a familiar place.

'Where I first arrived.'

Ludwig's eyes glowed.

I turned my head and looked at Yogsaron, the demon who had driven him so far.

He was not showing any movement as to why.

'It's an opportunity.'

I don't know why he doesn't show any movement.

However, the fact that this is now an opportunity has not changed.

Ludwig curled up.

He spurted his feet and rolled out four wings.

His body was shot at a horrible rate.

'I must convey it.'

I had to pass on all the information I heard here to Raphael.

Ludwig quickly escapes into the cracks of darkness.

Myriads of tentacles chase him.

But, he was faster.

Quad-Quad-Quad-Quad!!

I escaped the dungeon.

Ludwig's body rolled on the ground that had not grown a single drop of grass.

"Phew, Phew."

A rough breath came out.

The price of raising the power of the Holy Sword with power has already appeared.

It was intuitive that the rest of my life was just around the corner.

'Quick.'

I had to return to the continent of Ernor.

It was then.

"Mr. Ludwig!!"

"Are you okay?!!"

From afar, elite members of the Guardians, such as Kim Si-hun, Rain, Guyana, the next player, and Grace, rushed to see him.

I think I arrived after receiving a request for salvation sent earlier.

"Argh...."

Ludwig glances at them with his bounding young eyes.

Guardians are deceived by the devil of prophecy.

First of all, we must tell them the truth.

"You are in..."

"Wait."

The sharp-eyed young man, who was running from the forefront, raised his hand in the rain.

He spoke with a stiff face.

"Everybody stop."

"Why, why do you do that, brother?!"

"……."

Kim Shi Hoon's urgent question.

Rain shut its mouth firmly and opened its mouth with a distorted look.

"... It's already too late."

"Yes? What do you mean...?"

"Ludwig is already dominated by demons."

"… Yes?"

"Is that true, Mr. Rain?!"

Guyana's urgent question.

The rain nodded with a heavy expression.

"Yes, it's already... too late."

He rolled his feet with a rough fist.

"Damn it! Damn it! If you came sooner… I"

I groaned as if I were grumpy.

Ludwig looked at him with a dumb look.

What are you talking about? '

He was not dominated by demons.

I refused Satan's offer.

Magnetically, he escaped from that terrible dungeon.

By the way.

You're already late?

"Tongue, brother! What's wrong with you?! Ludwig is fine now..."

"No."

Rain shakes his head decisively.

He takes a communicating crystal bead out of his arms.

"Actually, since I first heard this communication... I thought it was too late."

A voice came out.

[Rude... Hi. At the gate... who... has the Devil's trap... I... have already been... attacked... all... risks... running... from here on out... by the Devil...]

Noise in the incubation distance.

Ludwig's voice flowed through that voice.

A horse that has the gut to die right now.

A will that resembles the screams of a Danbalma.

Even if I heard that communication, it was not difficult to see that Ludwig was already late.

Rain grabbed Kim Shi-hoon's shoulder.

"I'm sorry, Sihun. I couldn't get this communication to you."

"Ah, ahhh..."

"Ludwig... has already fallen into the Devil's hands."

Rain shook his head as if he would never see Ludwig again.

Ludwig opened his mouth and looked at him like that.

"What is it?"

It was complicated in my head.

It is certainly his voice that is heard through the crystal bead.

But not yourself.

I never said that.

'What happened?'

Ludwig's expression became pale.

As soon as he entered the dungeon, he remembered the communication he had with the Guardians in his head.

Wh-Wh-Wh. Hey, what's going on?

"This is Ludwig. I think someone's got their hands on the gate. I'm guessing it's a demon trap."

What's the situation...?

"I'm fine, but my men have already been beaten. This is dangerous. Ask all Guardians for assistance. We're going to buy some time while we run away."

Can you... come out...?

"You can't go out like this. Space itself seems to be dominated by demons."

Now... where.

"I don't know. It looks like we've entered the dungeon.

H-Ro, H-Chi Ji Yi!!

That's right.

'What, how is that?'

[Rude... Hi. The Devil's trap... I've already... been... attacked... by someone... at the gate... Danger... everyone... has... escaped... from this... Demon domination...]

Can this be changed?

"Ah, ah."

Ludwig's body shook.

He looks at the rain with a bluish look.

"Ludwig is already corrupted."

Rain steals tears and speaks with a decisive voice.

"We... have to kill him with our hands."

How to Corrupt a Saint that doesn't Corrupt in any way.

It's, it's simpler than I thought.

'Truth doesn't matter.'

It's just important to look like the truth.
