chapter 15
“First of all, we express our regret that the priests died in an accident.”
“An accident?”
As if he had finally given up, the denomination began obediently to the conversation.
Of course, as it is close to taboo to talk with the devil, only the bishop, who appears to be the head of the denomination, is opening his mouth.
It’s the same as in Leon, where everyone’s ears, including the bishop, were enchanted with protective magic to stop the demonic words.
“Yeah, an accident. I didn’t mean to kill you, but I made a mistake.”
“You didn’t mean to kill… What do you mean?”
“Literally. I was just trying to stop the action by cutting off my hand, but I cut off my head because I missed the aim. I’m really sorry.”
“…”
To be honest, I know it doesn’t make sense either. If you cut off the heads of 20 priests at the same time and your aim went wrong, you’re making fun of the other person, right?
But what do you do when you see me that it’s really true?
All I was aiming for was the hands of the priests who were slaughtering people, but suddenly they cut off the real ones, not the ones. Even though I was aiming properly.
Keying-
As a test, I tried casting magic by aiming at a branch of a tree by the roadside, and a portal was created at the exact location I was aiming for, and the branch was cut off.
It’s fine now, but why did it just happen?
“Dare you… are you threatening me now?”
Then suddenly the bishop rebukes me with a voice mixed with anger and fear.
What a threat… Oh, yes.
Given the circumstances, it is natural to think that the bishop is threatening him.
I wasn’t really aiming for the neck, but on the surface, the devil, who I never thought would make a mistake, is a mistake and is showing his power openly, and anyone who sees it will see it as a threat.
Originally, I should have apologized as much as I was wrong, but I don’t feel like apologizing for some reason.
‘If I hadn’t intervened, they would have burned the villagers alive.’
They were like this in the game too.
The Seraphia Church was trying to get rid of those eroded by demons by any means possible.
At the beginning, even with the least amount of hypocrisy, it was said that if you leave the corrosors in front of you in a fight with the devil, they will turn into monsters and threaten the background, so you have to get rid of them early. This is the logic of unconditional purification.
[Director, is it okay to do this story?]
[Ummm… Oh, that’s fine. It’s right for the villains to go with the traditional clichés without twisting them. That way you can give more power to the player’s logic.]
It’s a new thing now, but really, this world isn’t just like Noah, it’s just a copy of it. It’s amazing, it’s amazing.
To be honest, when I was in the position of managing the story, even if I was a villain, I thought that my thoughts were too one-dimensional, but seeing it in person, the feeling is quite different.
[Then, should the player’s actions be consistent with the norm?]
[Yeah, we’re not writing any literature. Jeongseok is literally the best development, so it is called Jeongseok.]
[Yes, I will.]
Noah’s player did everything he could to prevent such a massacre.
Whether you kill the demons quickly and make the church no longer have any reason to kill the villagers, evacuate the villagers from the church, or fight directly with the church to defeat it, literally everything.
As a result, in the second half of the story, the player and the church became completely hostile, and soon they ended up fighting each other completely. Well, thanks to that, the story development was easy.
“Answer me! The devil dares to threaten the divine agent’s agent!?”
Oh right. I forgot.
Baby, why do you keep turning your eyes from reality?
Strangely, I don’t feel nervous because I think that no matter what I do, it won’t hurt my life, let alone hurt.
“Did I threaten you? Why?”
“If the thing you just said isn’t a threat, what do you mean? Showing your power like that—”
“No, if intimidation is an act of showing off one’s strength or trying to gain something by grabbing the other’s weakness, why should I do that?”
“…”
The bishop, who had been quacking until just now, shuts his mouth in an instant as if he had ever done that.
Well, luckily it seems to have worked.
Threaten to get something from me by threatening you.
Anyway, I have to keep this momentum going and push it.
“Get your hair cut and get out of this city.”
“…The purification of the devil is the will of the gods, and the inhabitants of the city cannot be terrified of evil evil. Above all else, it is even more impossible to grant your request, as there is no benefit to be gained.”
What the f*ck, the townsfolk fear you more than me.
And there is no benefit to be gained?
“It’s a gain that can be obtained… Huh, of course there is.”
“…a little bit of talk-“
“I’ll save you.”
Of course, since there are so many gems piled up in the subspace warehouse, you can give them money and ask them to leave the city.
But it does look a little like… it looks like it’s ripped out, doesn’t it? Above all else, even if I fight, I will never lose.
If you don’t want to die, you’d be better off just yelling at him to leave.
“Save me, I’ll give you…”
“Literally, if you leave this city, you won’t lose your life. I’m well aware that demons like me strictly keep their contracts, so take it easy—”
squishy-
Then, suddenly, lightning fills my field of vision. My vision seems to be a bit white, and then it comes back to normal.
It’s still not as painful as it used to be, but it’s enough to irritate your nerves.
Dust in your eyes doesn’t hurt, but it makes you feel bad enough, right? It almost feels like that.
“A contract with the devil! How dare the devil try to corrupt a faithful servant of God!!”
“…”
Judging by the bishop’s expression, it seems that the bishop wasn’t aiming.
It seems that a very fanatical priest could not stand my words and attacked at will.
“Bishop!! Please give me orders!!”
What are you giving me orders?
The bishop is desperate as if he has lived his entire life just by looking at his face, but can’t you understand the situation?
hey, it’s done
I’ve been patient enough so far.
You’re doing garbage just like the story you made in Noah, you don’t need to watch it anymore.
Killing… is still not a devil, so I shouldn’t do it, but in other words, it’s okay to do anything other than kill, right?
First of all, I’ll have to lock my skills so that I can’t do anything stupid.
“Dementia.”
“-?!”
Dementia is one of the magics used by the demons in Noah.
Under the advice of the design team that it is difficult to express the demon’s identity with only attack skills, most demons use magic that grants status abnormalities in addition to basic attack skills. As you can see, it is often used by upper-intermediate and upper-level demons.
To put it bluntly, it’s just a remake of an idea… well, I didn’t have any complaints with it.
“Uh, uh…”
“What is it, come to your senses!! Hurry up… Uh…”
‘…? What, why are they like that?’
When the black smoke from the tips of their fingers touches the priests’ bodies, the priests, who had been burning their fighting spirits up until now, instantly droop as if they had gone insane.
This is not a simple analogy.
In the game, Dementia is simply a skill that silences players so that they cannot use the skill for a few seconds if they don’t move more than a certain distance from the demon within 3 seconds after the devil’s eye appears above their head…
soo much
bruh ur
“Uhhhh…”
“AA AA AA.”
The priests touched by the black smoke repeat only meaningless onomatopoeia while drooling.
The pupils have turned upwards and only the white is visible, and the muscles of the face and limbs are convulsing at will and trembling.
True to their name, Dementia, they show an attitude as if their personality was completely erased with an eraser.
…what?
No, everything else was exactly the same or similar to Noah, so why is this completely different??
Jiying-
“…”
The appearance of the priests who urgently turned on the magic poem and checked it was really desperate.
The ego has been completely erased.
No brain, no soul, nothing holy. The brain in charge of memory and the soul in charge of personality have all been completely erased, leaving nothing but blanks.
Except for the growth of the body, it is like seeing a newborn baby.
uh, uh… um…
I think this is a bit too much…?
“Everyone get away from that mist!! Come on!!”
The bishop hurriedly gave the order to retreat the priests, but it was already too late. In the blink of an eye, most of the priests who surrounded me and restrained me were hooked.
This kind of thing is… What is it, it’s so disastrous that it would be better to kill it.
Since becoming a demon, I have not been very impressed with any tragedies, but this has penetrated the devil’s instincts and made me feel sorry for him.
“I’m sorry, that was too much.”
Even Faust’s body, which had never been able to say the way I thought it, would be terrified to say it the way I thought it would.
Fortunately, if I use Time Regression, I think I can undo it, but… If that’s the case, I’ll have to wait until the sect surrenders.
