Chapter 193 – Stimulus #3
“A pair of arms? Are you kidding me!?”
Leona indignant.
As her scythe grew in size and came to a halt in front of Malphas’s neck, her spear stung and she took a step back.
“Queen, I only offered the necessary price. Except for payment, it is the will of the Demon King.”
“This devil’s disgrace…!”
“That is too much of a leap. Hee hee…”
Leona tried to wield her scythe even at her right hand.
The same goes for Yuria. She hung her arrow on a string and she was aiming at Malpas’s head.
I lifted her hand to dry them.
It was because if Malphas was attacked for no reason, the attacker would have to pay all the price he had received so far.
Because of this ability, Malphas was able to survive for a long time.
After calming them down, I calmly crossed my legs.
“Did you say one arm?”
“That’s right.”
“How was the value calculated?”
“I cannot tell you that.”
“Right.”
I had no intention of paying Malphas the price.
Because you already got the hint.
The jade body of the demon king is sacred.
That’s a fact that all monsters know. I told you to give me one arm of this demon king?
This is why Amon demands such a price because it is to openly reveal a secret that Amon keeps tightly hidden, a secret that he values more than life.
To put it simply, it means that Amon was plotting a rebellion.
Even if it wasn’t a plan, he must have at least thought of rebelling.
I was no better than just sitting there and blowing my nose without touching it.
Others didn’t have this flexibility. To think that they would actually pay for it because they were asked to pay for it… There are no principleists.
In any case, there is no physical evidence, but the psychological evidence is firm.
With this, the treatment of Amon, Orbas, and Garp was decided.
It was bittersweet. They sacrificed their lives for me, but I have to kill them.
And there was a wake-up call about the waning influence.
‘I have to drop Adele quickly.’
It didn’t matter whether I was in a human body for a long time or whether Adele’s divine power had an effect.
All you have to do is corrupt Adele.
Then I would be able to return to the demon lord’s body, and my influence would naturally be restored.
I stared at Malphas’ hideous face for a while and gave the order.
“Go back. The request is cancelled.”
“It’s okay. Did you find out something?”
“That is none of your business.”
“You are right. Then I will go back to my closet.”
Malpas soon disappeared into darkness.
Only then did Leona lower her weapon and blow her own bangs back.
“I’m not lucky…”
It was an insult to Malphas.
YuRia also shook her head as if she could relate.
I looked at them once and grinned and focused my mind.
Amon living in his own castle. It was to call him.
After some time,
Gooooo…!
Black smoke that came from unknown sources gathered in front of the throne and began to create a crow’s head.
Then came the body of a skinny beastman full of black hair.
As soon as Amon saw me, manifesting his own being, he fell to one knee.
“Meet the Demon King.”
“It’s been a while, Amon.”
“Yes, Demon King. Is there any order to give…?”
“If it’s not an order, can’t I call you?”
“No.”
What to do with this guy… It’s such a waste to just kill him…
While thinking about this and that in front of Amon, I came up with a good idea.
In order to consume Sylvia and Adele’s Aether energy, let’s make them catch them.
It’s called JJ.
No, I can’t compare Sylvia and Adele to barbarians, so I’ll have to correct them with Admiral Lee.
“When I invaded Earth with great vigour, I always held my breath and consumed only monsters, so you might wonder what I was doing. Isn’t it?”
“It’s not like that. From the Demon King, the queen and Yuria-nim…”
“It’s time to give a big blow to the earth.”
Amon raised his head in silence.
He was wondering why I was saying this now.
You’re acting. He’s a really nasty guy.
“Call me in a few days. Get ready.”
At those words, Amon’s shoulders trembled.
Are you afraid of being treated like consumables again?
I smiled at him and continued.
“Don’t worry. Because Leona and Yuria won’t send you to deal with them. Feel free to play your bow on Earth.”
“Ha, but Demon King. There are other mighty people on Earth…”
“I will attach a colleague.”
“A colleague means…”
“Orbas and Garp.”
When I mentioned the two of them, Amon’s black eyes shook.
You know what I mean when I say this.
The man’s head was lowered.
“Demon King… I…”
“There are no restrictions for you. Do whatever you want to do.”
“I-I was wrong… Please forgive me as I won’t come out of the castle until the Maou-nim gives an order…”
Amon turns around and asks for forgiveness.
Judging from that reaction, he was definitely trying to stab me in the back of the head.
So why did you think that way? My heart aches for making this decision.
In any case, the current Amon was under my influence.
Proof of this is that the order could not be refused and appealed to the town hall to revoke it.
At this time, he must be quickly cut off. We need to make a decision before the situation gets any worse.
“I’m giving you a chance after a long time commitment.”
“A chance…?”
“Of the remaining Beast Slayers, if I can capture even one of them alive, I will grant you one wish, whether you want forgiveness or freedom. I swear by the name of the Demon King.”
I didn’t just drive monsters to limb like before, I gave them missions with rewards.
Now he probably doesn’t pay attention to the word forgiveness.
The word that Amon cares about is freedom.
For Amon trying to escape my influence, freedom is a great temptation.
Also, I was waiting for punishment, but I was given a chance to officially escape.
Amon would have no choice but to accept it unconditionally.
“Did you say that the queen and Yuria-nim would not participate in the war…?”
Look at that. As soon as it seemed like there was a hole to survive, I saw him suddenly biting into rice cakes.
“Yes. But maybe we can send Orbas’ army to deal with it.”
“I-it doesn’t matter if it’s not me! I will definitely complete it…!”
As I expected, Amon accepted his command with determination.
There’s no camaraderie whatsoever about what he tried to bring his allies together. Damn opportunist bastard.
Having sent him, I leaned my head against the back of the throne.
In the worst case, I prepared for a fight with Amon, but it was fortunate that there was no battle.
And I thought it would be comfortable when I came home, but it’s just uncomfortable.
Gotta go back soon
**
Returning to Earth, I spent a day carefully removing demons and then stopped by the lab.
It was because the doctor contacted me that he was in the lab.
And Sylvia was there too.
Watching the process of making her own device with interest, she brightened her eyes as I entered the lab in her suit.
“You said you were on a business trip? How was it?”
“Well done. What did you come here for?”
“I started cycling recently, so I stopped by to exercise.”
“From Uijeongbu to here? Over 50 kilos?”
“I think it’s a perfect distance to exercise.”
Is he crazy about sports…? It would take three hours by bicycle, but it’s ridiculous.
I smiled and looked at the doctor sitting on the production table.
As she looked at Sylvia, she was squirming her body while holding back the desire to be hugged by me right away.
He also gave Sylvia her glare. Asking for it to go away quickly… That kind of glare.
Would such a doctor’s wind work? Sylvia put on her helmet after giving the Doctor her cordial greeting.
Then he patted me on the shoulder and put on her shoes.
“I’m always thankful.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“You must be tired from a business trip, but you came here to make a device. No?”
“That’s right, but…”
“So thank you. Please take good care of me.”
“Yes. Go in.”
Sylvia nodded her head and hesitated as she tried to leave the lab.
She turned to her and she whispered softly to me.
“Call Adele at least. He was very upset.”
She said, “I said I was going on a business trip… But I get it.”
Sylvia smiled dryly and quickly left the lab.
At the same time as the lab door closed, the doctor got up from her seat and ran to me and hugged me.
Stepping up to her, she put her arms around my shoulders, wrapped her legs around her waist, and she blew a deep kiss on my neck.
Supporting the doctor’s butt, I went to her lounge and sat down on the bed.
“I haven’t seen you for two days, but it’s not a fuss. You called me yesterday too. Calm down.”
“Because I missed you… What did she say before Sylvia left?”
“He just said he was asking for good.”
“I see… Oh, and I have something to ask you.”
“Say it.”
“Are you learning the Bible from Adele these days?”
Sylvia bitch… She’s a little talkative.
Well, since I didn’t tell her not to say it, it was unreasonable to denigrate it like this, and it was only a matter of time before the doctor found out, so let’s move on with her.
“I just want to find out what the religions of other planets are like. It was amazing.”
“I don’t think it’s just learning the Bible…”
“What do you mean?”
“Sylvia did. I really like your relationship with Adele. We like each other…”
The doctor’s eyes were blazing and trembling at the same time as he said this.
Like mad with jealousy.
I snorted and denied it with a single knife.
“It’s an illusion.”
“Right…? Are you mistaken?”
“Yes. You should have asked Adele directly.”
“I asked. What do you think of Jihyeok?”
The moment I heard that answer, chills went down my spine.
You asked…? Did you…?
Let’s show our calm side for now.
“So what did Adele say?”
“They just said he was a good person.”
I cleared my chest inwardly.
Maybe Adele was just evasive because he was embarrassed to tell anyone that he liked me.
That’s why the doctor only shows this kind of reaction.
Adele is the best Unlike Sylvia, she does pretty things.
I want to hold you in my arms
“I didn’t say anything.”
“Yes.”
“Didn’t you get morning sickness while I was gone?”
The doctor sighed and tapped me on the shoulder.
“It’s not the time yet.”
“It doesn’t.”
As I slowly moved back and forth while holding the doctor’s waist, I predicted how much Amon and the other three monsters could consume Sylvia and Adele’s Aether energy.
Although Aloken couldn’t even use his power properly and was purified in one shot… Still, there are three S-rank monsters, so it must be a lot.
First of all, let’s meet Adele tomorrow and talk about charging the device.
The time has come for her to know Aether’s mischievous nature.
