The Devil Who Grants Wishes

chapter 5



‘…I don’t know, now.’

It can be said that it was a fleeting time, but I did all my worries during that short time.

Is it okay to leave Leon as it is, what will happen if Leon is left as it is, and whether this world will really flow according to Noah’s story?

However, although there were many worries, the speed of thinking was not slow.

[Then I will go.]

It’s still nice to see the countless knights and soldiers looking at me with a bewildered look and bewildered.

If I broke my promise and wanted to do something, the crowd waiting to attack me immediately looked like a dog looking at a chicken that went up on the roof and looked up at the sky with no fuss.

‘You can’t kill it.’

Of course, after becoming Faust, my heart was broken a lot. As you can see from Matthias’ case, have you not been able to empathize with the feelings of others and have no special feelings for the death of others?

But… whatever it is, it’s not like it’s not, and it shouldn’t be.

Of course, if the flow of this world follows the same story as Noah’s story, these measures will be useless, just a momentary play and personal satisfaction.

If Leon is not captured by the devil, Leon’s player, the protagonist, will lose a place and opportunity to grow, which means that he will not be able to properly fight the powerful enemies that will come later.

‘…that’s when you think about it, well.’

Isn’t the player who was at level 24 turning 60 by the end of the Leon story?

If you can’t get experience by killing countless demons, undead, and beasts, and just play around level 24, it’s going to be terrible from the player’s point of view.

Beyond not being able to pass the next story, there is a high risk of being killed altogether.

No, it’s not a high degree, but I think it’s good to say that it’s certain.

But what… I can’t help it.

This world is remarkably similar to Noah, but even so, it’s unclear whether the future will follow Noah’s scenario.

Being prepared for an uncertain future, you can’t create millions of innocent victims just for the player’s experience.

‘And if things really go wrong, I can do it myself.’

You can’t level up only through Leon, right?

There are many routes to level up, such as doing quests or defeating monsters with a level similar to those in Leon.

If the scenario really flows like a game, I can move myself and handle all the problems, or I can train the player.

It’s funny that I, who was only a weak modern person, trains others, but anyway.

‘…By the way, where are you going?’

When I look down, I see only forests and fields.

I recklessly used flying magic and left Leon as promised with the commander, but I don’t know where to go.

Even if you go to another country nearby, the people of that country will react the same as the people of Leon.

Maybe he killed him and sent a subjugation squad?

Of course, I’m Noah’s final boss, so it’s not like I’m not in a raid with some final items, so I won’t be hit by such a low-level engineering team… But still, I can’t just kill all those who come, isn’t it?

He looks like a devil, but his heart is a man.

First of all, I need to get as far away from people as possible.

If you go north from Leon, you will find a snowy mountain area, so you can stay there for a while.

Paah

‘…Eh?’

Then, a familiar red light suddenly appeared again around me.

The light bends like a laser and wraps around me, creating a magic circle at the same time. It has exactly the same shape as the magic circle that summoned me to Matthias earlier.

‘What, this is following me?!’

I hurriedly ran out of the magic circle because I didn’t want to experience that upset again, but the magic circle just followed me.

No, it is correct to say that it is clinging to it rather than following it. like a shadow

I don’t think I have to physically get out of the magic circle, but I have to use some kind of magic to do it— uh…

**********

That demon… you really just walked out.

I thought it was the usual devil’s evil lie… What, this… It’s stupid to be nervous.

“The recovery potion… What? Be patient!?”

“Yeah, there won’t be a battle anymore anyway, so don’t drink the potion and just wrap it in bandages?”

‘…it doesn’t matter.’

I heard that the demon didn’t attack at all, but it was said that the wounded people were caused by this side’s effort on its own accord.

Still, it’s a pretty good ending for a demon that appeared.

In a normal case, they all fall into corruption and kill their comrades, or die of terrible humiliation, or live as undead monsters without being saved even if they die.

“Lena, are you okay?”

“Ah… yes, that’s fine.”

I came out with a bewildered face and looked around, but the knight commander approached me and asked how I am.

It’s not just about saying hello.

I’m also asking if there’s something strange about it, if I forgot something, if my mana wasn’t polluted, what happened with the devil inside, and so on.

And the face of the leader who asked that was not the expression and posture that looked at me before meeting the devil.

Nervous and vigilant, ready to wield a weapon quickly at any time.

Well… I fully understand.

Since we were alone with such a great devil, we have to be mindful of the possibility that something was tampered with, right? Even if it was me, I would have acted like a general manager.

“Mathias did something against the spirit of the devil, so he just died… The devil saw my reaction and just left. It’s perfect.”

“Why didn’t the devil who killed Matthias touch you?”

“I do not know.”

The manager’s eyes frowned upon hearing my answer.

If the general manager had sent me this kind of gaze, I would have been instantly upset, but as I said before, I think it can be so.

Even if you change your mind, you can’t believe that the demon saw the disabled victim and left without doing anything.

Even if I was like me, I would have seriously wondered if this bastard’s memory had been manipulated by the devil, or if he had already been corrupted and became a servant of the devil?

“I see… Well, where is Matthias’ body?

“No. Matthias, whose body swelled from excessive mana, exploded as it was, and soon became pieces of meat and scattered throughout the room.”

“What? Then this blood…”

“Yes, it’s not mine, it’s Matthias’s.”

The headmaster’s face is distorted to the extent that it is indescribable.

Did you think this blood was mine? So why were you so vigilant?

Seriously, it doesn’t really make sense to say that you’ve been with the devil up until now, and that you’re mentally healthy while you’re covered in blood all over your body.

‘But that demon… what the hell was it?’

In terms of appearance, spirit, and magical power, it was clearly higher in status than the Archdaemon. It was so high that I couldn’t even accurately estimate its height.

And for such a demon, of course, there must be some legend left.

Even low-level demons that are far inferior to that have information related to them, but there is no reason that there is no such thing as a great devil that will bring about a great change in the demon world just by being there.

‘But… isn’t it?’

However, despite that, there is not a single information about that demon.

From name to race, literally everything.

Of course, it could be that I’m simply ignorant and ignorant… but that’s unlikely.

The legend of the great hero who shook the world is similar to what even an ignorant country woman knows.

After all, the strong can create legends even if they just stand still.

‘…Shall we go back to the Great Forest and look for information? But… not yet.’

It will take at least 500 years to be forgotten in the memories of the elves.

It’s too early now.

We still have to go outside… Okay, let’s just look outside. Because there is a lot of information out there.

“…Lena? Are you really okay?”

I was thinking about that demon, and then I woke up and saw the manager looking at me with questionable eyes in front of me.

“Yes? Ah… yes, it’s fine. I was thinking about what that demon was for a while.”

“Yeah? If that’s the case, I’m glad… Khhhh, anyway, go in and wash up. And it looks like you’ll have to quarantine for a while and check your condition, okay?”

Uh… Sure, I have to wash it quickly.

My body smells bloody so much that I get nauseous…

“Okay, of course. I’ll stop and leave.”

Lena hears the captain’s words and leaves the castle in a hurry to wash herself.

Without even dreaming that the commander’s words to wash included not only blood but other things.
