265 – Dungeons and Nymphs: A Nymph’s Journey # 8

“It is said that this Oinoi captured the demon king and brought peace to this pilgrims’ village and the world… ! It is clear that no nymph could have achieved such a feat… !”

“Of Calls… ! It’s literally a feat comparable to that of the SSR hero Hercules… ! We are dancing the nymph dance to celebrate the achievements of our Nymph Sisters… !”

Doom chit, dum chit, dum chit, dum chit -.

The nymphs danced a nymph dance of joy.

Nymphs are a race of entertainers who love to dance, sing, and play.

The pilgrim villagers who were watching this also danced with great joy.

“Melody! You’re back! “I thought you were taken hostage to the Demon King’s Castle and died!”

“Mom! I’m back!”

“Honey, you’re alive! I already thought you were dead so I remarried! I received a lot of death insurance money and already spent it all…. You’ve already used up all your savings….”

“What…?” !? This… It’s hell….”

People enjoyed moments of joy as they reunited with family and friends who had been held hostage in the Demon Castle.

A festival where musicians strum the strings of their instruments and young men and women sit around fireworks lit in the village square and chat.

I approached the iron bars installed in one corner.

Imp Burbur and Demon King Barbatos were trapped inside.

“I’m asking you to release Juyin quickly… !”

Imp Burbur kept making noise to free the demon king who was trapped in an iron cage.

Imp Barbard, who became Hyrae’s companion imp, “I, Barbarossa, am the Demon Lord’s chief subordinate…” !” I often said.

Unlike nymphs who are generally free, do imps like to serve and be loyal to their masters?

“You said it was Demon Lord Barbatos, right? It seems like you were the one who used large-scale witchcraft to create this rift. Could it be possible to unscrew it and eliminate this crack? Otherwise, I have no choice but to destroy you.”

Demon King Barbatos was like the core of this rift.

If it is destroyed, the crack will be removed.

However, if someone were to ask whether Barbatos was really a bad devil, I would think no.

Until just now, I also thought that ‘the devil is bad.’

Among the people taken hostage, no one died or was tortured.

The hostages were just trapped.

At that level, there would still be room for compromise.

“Jjuyin… ! I’m saying don’t listen to those guys… ! Mr. Juyin says he will help this Burbur escape somehow… !”

Burbur bit his iron bars with his teeth.

Of course, it was impossible to break the solid iron bars with teeth.

I looked at Burbur and hinted to the Demon King.

“Imp Burbur follows you like that. Wouldn’t it be nice if we went to the outside world together? There is also your subordinate Barbarossa in the outside world. “Barbaro is your subordinate, right?”

“What? “There’s Barbar?”

Barbatos, the Demon King of Blue Light, who had been silent until now, reacted loudly.

“Are you talking about Varvar Barnoi?”

“Yes.”

“Barvar Barnoi is an imp whose name I gave to achieve a special purpose… ! What does it mean to say that such a Barbarossa exists in your world? I guess that means the goal was successfully achieved… !”

“Purpose?”

“Midland, where I lived, was destroyed. This is because if anything goes up, there must be something that goes down, and if there is something that develops, there has to be something that perishes. Moreover, I was the “Flame of destruction.”

What is the flame of destruction?

This is what I felt when I first encountered nymphs, elves, and Amazons, but coming into contact with a new civilization always involved many things that were unfamiliar and difficult to understand.

So it’s fun.

“Can you tell me what the flame of destruction is?”

“What? Do you not even know what the flame of destruction is? It looks like you came from a place with a very low level of civilization. Good night. This Barbatos will explain!”

Hmph!

The way he snorts and spreads his shoulders at the thought of being locked up in a cage is exactly like Oinoi, who likes to show off.

It looks just like a nymph except for the pair of horns on its forehead.

“… But before I explain, get some food and hand it to my loyal subordinate, Burbur. Burbur eats three meals a day, so if he skips even one meal, he loses his strength!”

“Something to eat?”

I brought a basket filled with meat and fruit from nearby and placed it inside the devil’s cage.

Then the henchman Imp Burbur hurriedly stuffed food into his mouth.

“It’s delicious… !”

It was a very nice sight.

It reminds me of the time when Oinoi, who was rummaging through the trash can, received food from me for the first time.

I spoke to Imp Burbour.

“If you come with us, you can eat many more delicious things. “I’ll make you ketchup ramen too.”

Not only have the nymphs perfectly adapted to the 21st century in which I live, “They no longer remember their hometown…” ! I don’t even want to go back to my hometown… I liked the 21st century so much that I said, “!”

A water purifier that automatically dispenses water.

Shower.

The very mysterious flame of induction.

Delivery sweet and sour pork.

This is because I was completely immersed in the 21st century after eating Pburinkle Chicken.

The same goes for Imp Barbar, whom Hyrae is in charge of.

Imp Barbar said, “hehehehe, this Barbar is going to try his best to become the imp of this gas fire…” !” And said that he likes to turn the gas stove on and off.

Therefore, I wanted to take Imp Burbour into the 21st century.

Demon Lord Barbatos said while looking at me like that.

“Aren’t you afraid of imps? We are devils with a tail. It also has horns on its forehead. “But aren’t you scared or disgusted by us?”

“Not really.”

“I think I can understand why the fairies follow her so much even though she is not a woman with high princess power. “Now I’m called the Demon King, but I was originally a nymph.”

“You were a nymph too?”

“Yes, my name was Barnoy. She was a nymph who lived in Greece long ago. But destruction came to the world and I fell into the Midlands. After that, one way or another, he became the devil.”

How on earth does a nymph become a devil with a tail?

I was very curious about the ‘this and that’, but it seemed like he didn’t really want to talk about it.

“Haildo. Can you make a contract? He said he would take me and other imps to a safe land. “Then I’ll tell you everything I know, too.”

“Okay. “Why not make a contract?”

“What?”

Barbatos seemed briefly surprised by his suggestion.

“Haildo, you don’t know, but a contract with the devil is so scary that it shouldn’t be made carelessly.”

“But you didn’t seem like a bad person enough to fool me.”

# # #

「Haildo discovers a new civilization!」

「What is Midland? “It sheds light on Midland, the land of warriors and adventurers.”

「President to have lunch with Midland resident representatives─」

News and newspapers were abuzz.

It was because I discovered a new continent within the crack.

No, strictly speaking, it was not a new continent.

It seems that the old castles and ruins, which are the crack patterns that mainly appear in Europe, are traces of the Midlands.

However, it was said that only monsters such as zombies, demons, and evil spirits appeared there, and there were no people. Only books that are occasionally discovered allow us to infer the place name.

“Midland,” The land of magic and adventurers.

How did a land where a great magical civilization developed become a land full of castles, ruins, zombies, and ghosts in just one day? Did this raise the curiosity of many people?

In that sense, our party was the first to discover survivors in the Midlands.

It was the great discovery of the century, and my stock price, which had been slightly stagnant after the A-rank battle, jumped again. Very nice.

Anyway.

“Oppa, look at this! I picked the car! It’s an electric car! Awesome! “Dad bought it for me!”

Hai Rae parked the car in front of the well house.

Dad bought me a car.

Perhaps because he was a father, he was very weak towards his daughter, Ha Rae.

“Oh, what! A friend who looks similar to Barbar! I know what they are! Imp! Imp! There’s another imp! Amazing, Great! Arrr-!”

Hyrae was almost half crazy when she saw Imp Burbur and Demon King Barbatos who were staying at our house. I’m starting to wonder if the nightmare raccoon has possessed me again.

I said that to Hi Rae.

“Hi, I think you should take care of these imps. It would be better if I took her with me, but I already have nymphs. “Nymphs and imps do not mix like water and fire.”

I decided to take charge of the details of the imps brought from the Rift in the Midlands.

However, whenever the nymphs keep seeing the imps, they “Pull out their tails…” !” And tried to pull Burbur’s tail.

As an aside, Demon King Barbatos said that an imp with its tail pulled off temporarily becomes a nymph.

That’s because imps were originally nymphs.

“Ah! It’s Demon Lord Barbatos… ! Demon Lord Barbatos was a huge imp, so I don’t know why he shrunk down to this size… ! The tail has also become shorter… !”

Imp Barbar met Demon King Barbatos and circled around him.

According to Seo Ye-rim, Demon King Barbatos was originally an adult woman with a tall height of nearly 177 cm and a slender figure.

But she said that when Seo Ye-rim attacked, she lost ‘her tail’ and she became so small.

“The Demon King’s tail was longer, thicker, and better than anyone else’s… ! For imps, the tail is more important than anything else… ! Since she lost it, it’s no wonder she got smaller… !”

I see.

It is said that the “Imp Tail” Grows based on the evil intentions and magic power of imps, as well as various nutrients and energy.

So, a nice tail is a great pride for imps.

“Hey… ! This Barbar thinks that the Demon King must have been harmed by the Tail Hunter… ! Since imps’ tails are the best magic material, there are many hunters targeting them… !”

“Barbar, I’m fine. My tail is short, but it grew back quickly. After about 500 years, it will become a nice tail again. “I will be able to get all my strength back.”

It was difficult to understand the nymphs’ conversation, but the imps’ conversation was even more difficult to understand.

However, Hyrae rubbed her cheek against the imps’ faces as if it felt good.

“Look at them! It’s so small and cute! The tail is also gently wagging! He even has horns on his head! Brother, can I take them with me? Huh? “I will take you!”

“Take him. “That’s why I called you to take charge of it in the first place.”

It was fortunate that Hyrae showed enthusiasm for protecting the imps.

Hey, I applauded.

“Awesome! It must be fun with the imps buzzing around! hehehehe, if you make an army out of imps…. Imp army… Hellfire spirit…. Eredar Lord of the Burning Legion… hehehehe-. From the bones to the flesh… !”

“… ….”

Is it really the right choice to have Hyrae take the imps with him? It seemed like she was getting weirder and weirder every time I saw her… If I think about it carefully, my sister was strange from the beginning.

She is rather strange than ordinary.

Fortunately, the imps liked Hi-Rae.

“Jjuyin! She’s a girl with high balls… ! They say that kidnapping a princess with high princess power shows the strength of the Demon King… ! Like the demon king Coupang who kidnapped Princess Peach… !”

“You are right, Burbur. But right now, my body doesn’t have enough strength to kidnap the princess. “But this princess makes the imps follow her well, so she looks like she’s a vessel to become the Demon King.”

“Oh wow…” ! I can become the devil… !? She can be the Queen of Blades too… !?”

Come on!

Ha Rae raised her hands high.

Immediately Imp Barbar shouted.

“Since two or more imps have gathered, let’s start the Imps’ Sabbat… !”

“I’m saying it’s a very good idea…” ! Let’s dance imp-friendly and revolutionary… !”

“Oh wow…” ! Please include me too… !”

Doom chit dum chit-.

The imps danced with Hyrae.

It was a very strange sight and she found it funny.

I asked Demon King Barbatos when the imps’ dance was over.

“So, what is the ‘Flame of Destruction’? I heard that’s what Seo Ye-rim also has? “As promised, I have safely settled you into the 21st century, so it is your turn to keep your promise.”

“This 21st century is a good place. This is a land that spirits, fairies, and small devils would love more than any other world that Barbatos has ever experienced. Good night. “I’ll explain what I know according to the contract.”

It was said that demons are good at lying, but they do not lie when it comes to ‘contracts.’

After that, I heard about the ‘destruction’ of the world from Barbatos.

“「The flame of destruction」 Means the end of the world. Whether we like it or not, they are the ones who will one day bring great destruction to the world. “Because the end of all myths and civilizations always ends in a big flame.”
