ALL NOVEL Chapter 215
I regained my senses in an unfamiliar place.
First of all, if I were to judge myself…
I am Belphegor, the main body.
This place seems to be a noble young lady’s bedroom, and I was lying in a canopied bedroom.
“…What happened?”
I remember being kidnapped.
Yet, something feels hazy, and I can’t quite recall who kidnapped me.
I was definitely in the cockpit of Bahamut last, and someone had forcibly opened the cockpit and taken me away.
Who could that be?
“Ugh….”
My head hurts.
It’s as if someone poured alcohol all over my body overnight.
Even though it’s an undead body, having alcohol in it would cause major problems.
What that means is, all the decomposition of the alcohol has to be done with mana.
Even if I try to detoxify with magic, if the amount of alcohol I consumed is overflowing, my head can only throb like this.
“Haah.”
The smell of alcohol is overwhelming.
Fortunately, my mana has slightly recovered for some reason, but the issue is that I feel as if something flows through my body instead of blood.
‘What happened?’
Could it be that I’ve been stuck in some filthy place for so long that I fermented into a drink?
If so—
“Huh?”
I see a mirror.
In the full-body mirror, I see myself sitting on the bed.
The me in the mirror…
“My hair… is cut?”
I’ve got a bob now.
No, not just a bob—it’s a shortcut.
I look more like a boy than anything, and the sudden change leaves me feeling dizzy.
“What is going on—”
As I attempt to rise, suddenly—
“……Huh? Huh?”
That heavy sensation I feel below sends chills down my spine.
It’s a sensation I hadn’t felt before, or rather, I couldn’t feel in this body.
A heavy feeling of something that shouldn’t be felt from Sorceress Bel’s body makes me feel like I might lose my sanity.
“W-why is this… in this body?”
I quickly got up from the bed and pulled down my pants.
Puuuu—
There, a mysterious White Dragon was sleeping soundly below.
It looked like it would wake at the slightest touch, with a neck as long as a giraffe’s, this White Dragon was sound asleep.
“How did this happen….”
I flinched.
The White Dragon awoke.
I didn’t even do anything, yet the White Dragon slowly lifted its head, confidently stretching it forward.
“Ha, haha.”
I couldn’t help but laugh.
Using any human body without discrimination, whether male or female, is somewhat understandable, but isn’t this a bit too much?
“In a female body, what’s a White Dragon doing…?”
It’s bewildering.
I’m truly bewildered.
In the moment I fainted, what the hell happened to my body? Who did such a thing?
At this rate—
Creeeak.
The door opened.
In walked a beautiful maid with blue hair and glasses.
“Have you awakened, Demon Lord Bel Phegor?”
“…….”
“It’s useless to pretend. Our master knows everything.”
“…….”
I felt goosebumps immediately.
I had no idea what this maid was talking about.
“…I have no idea what you’re saying.”
“That’s okay. This is a remote island. The only beings that can be called living here are myself, my master, and the Demon Lord.”
“Oh, really.”
It’s hard to believe, but to openly call me a Demon Lord clearly indicates that she’s not ordinary.
“Who are you?”
“I am Lily, the faithful servant in charge of managing this castle under my master.”
“Lily?”
“Yes. Please call me Lily.”
The woman bowed to me with a calm expression.
“Are you planning to stay undressed?”
“What is happening here?”
“That is something my master knows in detail. The master is waiting outside. I will assist you in changing.”
Clap.
As soon as Lily clapped her hands, maids rushed in from behind and grabbed me.
“Wait a minute. Earlier, I—”
“These individuals are under my strict control. You need not worry about any identities, Demon Lord.”
“Wait a minute! Where are you touching! What are you touching, ugh?!”
I had no chance to resist.
“This is a massage.”
“…….”
“I will apply cream for you.”
“…….”
“Please raise your arms. I will assist you in changing.”
“…….”
In the blink of an eye, I had transformed into a new appearance.
“What is this….”
Somehow, I found myself wearing a wedding dress.
Forget about the dress accentuating my chest; the ankle-length dress had enough room.
If it had been a design that clung tightly to my body, like a mermaid dress?
Puuuu—
…Then it would’ve been a catastrophe for a bride’s dress.
More so.
“Knowing that I’m the Demon Lord Belphegor and making me wear this kind of dress…”
It had to be someone from 500 years ago.
And someone who knows me very well.
But.
“…It doesn’t seem like it’s Asydia, does it?”
“Yes. That’s correct.”
These people are not from Asydia.
If the maid named Lily’s master was Zephar, he would never have adorned me with something like a White Dragon.
So,
The person Lily refers to as “master” is…
“A woman?”
“You’ll know when you meet her.”
“…….”
Memories began to surface but stopped abruptly.
I could faintly recall who kidnapped me, but the figure eluded me.
Something about the mana resonating in a tingling way is like a warning, but no matter how I think, I couldn’t recall.
“Fine. I’ll go meet her. Let’s see who has done this to me.”
“Please follow me.”
Guided by Lily, I strolled leisurely through the mansion until we arrived at our destination.
A vast garden.
There stood a woman dressed in a white tuxedo, her white hair matching the appearance of a groom at a wedding.
She was cloaked entirely in pure white from head to toe—
“I had to drop something at home for a moment.”
I immediately turned my body.
But Lily and the maids stood behind, blocking my way with their bodies.
“What are you doing?”
“Please don’t joke around and move forward.”
“No, wait a minute. Does this make sense?”
“Yes. It makes sense that the Demon Lord Belphegor was summoned to the Intermediate Realm after 500 years.”
“No…”
I was bewildered by the head maid Lily’s words, but thinking it through, it wasn’t entirely incorrect.
If I reconsider.
In the past 500 years,
The ‘Holy Sword of Light’ has never appeared in the same way as the Holy Wind Sword.
“…Could it be you.”
I eventually resigned myself and approached the woman in the white tuxedo.
“…Leberced Arpe?”
“What a disappointment.”
That was her first greeting.
“I wish you would call me ‘Ver’ like before.”
The woman who had kidnapped me.
The one who brought me to this place.
“Hello, Bel-kun.”
Once upon a time, she was the one who entered the hero party as a porter, sabotaging everyone.
“I always believed we would meet again like this.”
And she was the wielder of the Holy Sword of Light and the Empress of the Arpe Empire.
“How did you…”
“I’ve been alive all this time just to meet you. Without dying.”
Leberced Arpe, ‘Ver’, approached me in her tuxedo and embraced me.
“I’m really glad to see you again, sincerely.”
“…I’m also glad to see you again. I mean, I’m glad, but…”
I couldn’t help but ask what I didn’t want to.
“…Did you insert ‘White Eun-gong’ down there in my body?”
“Uh-huh.”
“……This body is a corpse.”
“That’s why I put it in.”
Ver simply smiled calmly.
“Don’t worry. You know? My Holy Sword, the White Eun-gong, is a matching set with the sheath.”
“…….”
“You are the sword, and I am the sheath.”
Ver held my shoulder with an innocent face.
“Now, I will never let you go.”
Swoosh.
Ver pressed her lower body against mine and smiled suggestively.
“Absolutely.”
*
At that moment, in the capital of the Arpe Empire, ‘Leberced’.
“It’s been a while, Bora.”
“Yeah. Blue.”
With Lucius’s help, we were able to meet again.
“I’ve heard roughly about the situation?”
“Yeah. It’s gone terribly wrong.”
We exchanged information between us.
However, there was one problem.
“Hey! How are you going to deal with Lucius thinking of the clone and the main body as different things?!”
“What’s wrong with that? A clone is a clone, and the main body is the main body. There’s nothing weird about thinking of them differently.”
“Every time I say it, I feel like I’m going to die from the frustration!”
“Who cares? Hehe.”
Disagreement arose between Blue and Bora.
About how Lucius sees the clone.
“You are really bold, to seem not to care about that at all.”
“You’re the one who’s worrying too much. The main body of Red likely didn’t care about whether Lucius distinguishes between the main body and the clone.”
As she said.
The main body likely wouldn’t think much about how Lucius sees the clone.
She just thought it was no different from how Lucius thinks about the crew of the Bride Ship, ‘Marine.’
“But there’s no main body now. What do we do?”
“There is a way.”
We gathered our wisdom.
And the conclusion we reached was…
“Let’s gather wisdom.”
What we need is more wisdom.
To navigate this chaotic situation, we need to secure the main body, and one body of ‘Sorceress Bel’ is not enough.
“You have two magic cores. We need to put them into the magic core onboard the Bride Ship.”
“…The magic cores of Mammon and Satan?”
“Yeah. Marines.”
“Hey, but Lucius….”
“It’s not important.”
Is it important?
I’m not sure.
So, to ask for help, we called the most crucial person for this operation.
“What brings you here? Masters?”
“We’re trying to replicate the master’s clone more; could you assist us?”
“…Could you elaborate a bit more?”
We called Lucius.
“Base increasing clones on the Demon Lord’s magic core… Surely nothing will pop out suddenly, right?”
“So we need your help. We’d like you to lend us some magic for putting the magic core into Marine’s body.”
“Do we really have to?”
“I’m trying to gather clues to find the main body.”
“…Understood. So what should I do?”
“You need to provide magic.”
Under Blue’s lead.
With Lucius’s aid, we succeeded in cloning the duplicates.
“I am Vermia.”
“This body is Versiaton.”
And so, two Marines were born.
But.
“…This color seems to be crimson, not orange?”
“…Yeah.”
The newly cloned duplicate based on Satan’s magic core had a red aura, not an orange one.
