Chapter 98 – 098. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
098. Maehwa sword reincarnated in the count family
“Hmm. He said to take the devil’s corpse with you.”
Hascent pulled a large burlap sack out of the shadows.
When putting the demon’s head into the bag, there was something moving quietly on the side of the demon’s legs. It was a demon as small as the palm of a child’s hand. Its body was black, with two horns on its forehead and a tail on its hip.
The demon quietly began to flee into the woods while Hascent was cleaning up his corpse.
‘Kill kil kil. This is my body I just need to recreate that body.’
Puck!
The devil, who was hit straight by a sudden flying shoe, flew backwards and crashed into a tree.
“Keuk! Uh, how?!”
The demon looked at Hascent with horrified eyes. Why is a guy who should be arranging the corpses in the back standing in front of him?
“Parasitic Demon Safin. Young master said to bring you.”
Hascent had a glass bottle in his hand.
Safin’s body’s physical ability is said to be at the level of a small beast, so he was able to hold it with just a glass bottle.
“What are you trying to do by catching me!”
“…….”
Hascent didn’t answer. He doesn’t even know He just took the demonized corpse and captured the body of the demon as ordered by Eugene.
Hascent grabbed the sapin and placed it in a glass bottle, which he sealed tightly. He will never be able to escape inside the glass bottle, as it also contains anti-shock magic.
“To think you know the identity, name, and abilities of the devil… As expected, Young master was chosen by Serion.”
Hascent realized the greatness of Eugene and prepared to go back.
•••
I looked at the glass bottle lying on the desk. A dark demon is contained in a glass bottle. The devil is sitting on the bottom of the glass bottle, giving up everything, looking at me.
‘What was it…. Homun… Homunculus! It’s a visual that reminds me of that.’
While wandering the Internet, I saw a picture of a small person trapped in a glass bottle. Did you say homunculus? I remembered it because it was a pretty well-drawn picture.
Lesser Demon Safin.
As a demon with parasitic abilities, it was called a parasitic demon in the original work.
This demon has the ability to parasitize on some creatures, including humans. He can also parasitize some monsters.
Parasitic conditions are also not difficult. It enters without the target’s knowledge. However, the target must not be able to feel mana and must have weak mental strength.
When it parasitizes on a human body, at some point, it gets rid of human consciousness and completely controls it. The human body slowly transforms into a demonic body.
It has been parasitic on humans for over 200 years. In the meantime, he occasionally eats humans or kills them for no reason.
In the original story, Safin instigates the villagers to rebel against the county of Purcus. Of course, the rebellion is easily suppressed, and Safin eventually dies while running away from the main character, Kyle. The episode itself wasn’t funny. However, it hints at the future demons in the original work.
‘It’s a demon that doesn’t matter if I leave it alone.’
Lower level demon. Also, the body’s direct combat ability is very weak. If you fight a child, the child will probably win.
I captured this guy alive for two reasons.
‘First, I needed to remind Hascent of my worth.’
A person becomes more and more dull as time goes by. Even if you initially give me allegiance with excitement, you will feel doubt after time.
This time, Hascent must have realized that I was the one chosen by Serion. The name of the devil, the location of the devil, the appearance of the devil, everything came true as I said.
‘The second is this guy’s value.’
It’s a low-level demon, but it’s a demon.
It’s also a living demon.
You can sell it to the Mage Tower or Church for a high price. I don’t know the detailed market price, but I think I can get at least 20 billion ner. If Safin had been mid-range rather than low-end, the price would have jumped tenfold.
‘The problem is that this guy can talk about people. It means that information about Hascent is known to the outside world.’
Hascent has been hiding himself very thoroughly until now. He had kept the condition that all assassins should go undetected for decades. It can be said that he is the model of an assassin.
But handing over the information for only 20 billion ner? Sounds funny. The balance calculation is not correct.
‘It would be nice if I could move the devil my way, but… Of course that’s impossible.’
Is a devil just a devil? These are things you shouldn’t even do business with.
‘It’s a waste to just kill.’
There is only one way left. To drain this demon’s blood. That is, blood donation.
In this world, the devil is the enemy of mankind and a magical material with great magical power. Devil’s blood is the highest quality material and can be sold to the Mage Tower at a high price.
‘But this guy is too small. There is a fixed amount of blood that can be drawn per day. Are you going to make 100 million Ner a month?’
Smart smart
A knock was heard.
“This is YuRia.”
“Come in.”
Yuria opened the door and entered her room. A tray was held in both her hands. There are teapots, teacups, and simple snacks on the tray.
Yuria skillfully prepared tea time after setting the teapot on the table.
It was tea time.
“Master. Are you worried?”
“Uh. It’s because of this devil. In order to properly extract the value, a certain amount of blood must be drawn every day… It’s not that easy.”
The devil is the size of a child’s fist. Its lack of combat capability is its strength, but its size is its worst weakness. It takes a skilled skill to draw blood from a creature of that size.
“Shouldn’t you also dig up information?”
“That’s right too. Even if he’s weak, since he’s a demon, he probably has information about other demons.”
“Then, leave that demon to me. I will handle it properly.”
“Are you YuRia?”
“Yes. I am confident.”
I thought for a moment and then nodded her head. I knew that Yuria learned her torture techniques from her torture technicians, Gon and Ron. I’ve never seen her do her torture, but from what I’ve heard she’s very good at it.
“Please. YuRia.”
“Yes.”
I put my hand on YuRia’s chest while drinking her tea. Instinct, not my will, acted on its own.
•••
“Quaaaaagh! You wicked bitch! Stop! Stop! I die!!”
Safin screamed in prison. His body was firmly fixed on the iron plate. His arms and legs are of course immovable. All he can do is shake his head sideways.
“You didn’t meet your quota today.”
YuRia, wearing thick clothes for her torture, spoke calmly. In her hand was the dreaded syringe.
“This… Crazy bitch… !”
Safin’s face contorted.
The quota that YuRia refers to is 100 ml per day.
100ml seems small to say, but to Safin, who is the size of a child’s fist, 100ml is not enough even if she drains all the blood in her body.
For reference, the average price of 100 ml of fresh devil’s blood is about 10 million Ner.
“50 ml left. Stay strong.”
The needle of the syringe was stuck into Safin’s right arm.
“Aaaaagh! A bitch more devilish than this devil! Rather kill it! I mean kill!”
Safin roared loudly.
His life these days is so terrible that he’d rather die. He is kept in a glass bottle at all times except when blood is drawn and when he is being tortured, and the only food he is given is the leftovers of medicinal herbs. He had been caught trying to commit suicide a few times, so he was now tied up and locked in a glass bottle.
“I cannot kill you. You are the master’s precious property.”
“Fuck! I kill that duck! I will definitely kill you, and I will kill you too!”
“Your words are too harsh. I must have said that you should use the right and kind words.”
Yuria placed a wet cloth over his head.
“Ugh! Town! Big!”
Since the devil’s body is so small, just putting a wet cloth on it is torture. Yuria removed the wet cloth from Safin before he drowned.
“You, your mother, will be torn to shreds.”
“My mother has already passed away. Are you incapable of learning?”
“The years I have lived alone are 200 years! Xiangnyeon! You have the devil’s pride! Do you think that Safin-nim will succumb to humans like you?!”
Taking Safin’s blood with her syringe, Yuria sprayed her potion on Safin’s face. Blood will be regenerated in Safin’s body. Of course, there is a limit to the potion, so you can only extract 100ml a day.
“Ugh! Cuckoo! Oops!”
“I admit it. It’s been 20 days already and you haven’t spit out any information. Coming this far, I can’t help but admit it. The devil’s mental strength and pride are truly amazing.”
“Clack! Got it! No matter how much you bully me…… Hey Shannyeon. What is that?”
“It’s a surgical knife called a scalpel.”
“No! Not that! That glass bottle next to you!”
YuRia lifted the barrel next to her. She has things like black powder in it.
“Ah. You know too. It is unclean mana.”
“How… Do you have it!”
Unholy mana itself is forbidden on the continent. Do not use, create, or possess unclean mana. This is because unclean mana can become the power of demons and at the same time turn corpses into undead.
“I made it. Fortunately, there were good ingredients nearby.”
The good stuff is 32 thieves and 1 peddler who are locked in a dungeon and tortured daily. Unclean mana blooms in people’s unclean emotions such as resentment, hatred, jealousy, and pain. Of course, in the general case, it is necessary to add a special process to disappear immediately.
“I haven’t done anything in the meantime. I searched the literature and thoroughly researched demons, and I know that unclean mana is more effective than normal potions.”
The specific process is also briefly described in the literature. So that the reader does not follow. That’s why Yuria succeeded in creating unclean mana after going through trial and error for two weeks.
“… You made unclean mana? Because of me?”
“Are there any problems?”
“K, … Kelkel, Ke! Do you know Unholy mana gives power to demons! You are making a mistake!”
“I know. Also, for a wounded demon, unclean mana is just a potion with a very high effect. If you have unclean mana, it would be possible to draw 300ml of blood a day.”
“…… I never thought the day would come when I wanted to find Serion. Maid. Let’s make a deal. I’ll give you anything you want No matter how I look like this, I’m the devil I know where the treasure is hidden. Don’t you like it?”
“What about the devil’s pride?”
“Nimi. Is that a problem in your current situation? Please. I will give you all the information you ask for.”
YuRia shook her head.
“It’s okay. In fact, Master doesn’t expect much from your information. It is more beneficial to have blood drawn for the rest of your life. 300ml a day is 30 million ner profit, and a month is 900 million won. 10.8 billion in 1 year, 108 billion in 10 years..”
“Sir, fuck.”
“I intend to take out your organs today. If the literature is correct, organs, eyes, horns, and limbs can be restored with unholy mana. It’s less valuable than your blood, but I think you can get at least 10% extra profit.”
The most profitable thing in the devil’s body is the horn, followed by the blood. However, Safin’s horns are too small to be worth more than blood.
A sharp scalpel approaches. Tears welled up in Safin’s eyes.
“Sorry, sorry. Miss Yuria. I was crazy. Wrong. I am reflecting. Could you please grant me death?”
“You are literally the goose that lays the golden eggs. Don’t worry. I will not make a mistake by blinding myself to immediate gain.”
“Aaaaa! Fuck you bitch!”
