137. Final Weapon Lynchester (1)
The Lognes family is the enemy of the Mine.
It was one of the families called the Devil’s Shield along with Lynchester.
As long as the Devil devours such a family, it will not be difficult to destroy the empire.
The problem was that Logness, along with the Lynchester family, was good at detecting demons.
On the Mine side, Logness was like a thorn in the eye.
Asmodeus obtained a new body through necromancy research. Since this body is human in the first place, demonic energy will not be detected.
For that reason, Asmodeus approached him as an arranged marriage with the ambition to devour the Lognes family.
Sepia von Lognes.
According to the background investigation, she is currently the only daughter of the Logness family, and her mother died when she was young.
Besides that, she was a lofty and proud girl with a natural talent for magic.
However, such a person had a taste for conquering. I was able to hypnotize him just by using the ‘Evil Eye of Enchantment’.
It might be a problem if you have high magic resistance, but humans are inherently weak.
I thought it would be okay to touch the wounds related to my mother. And he was going to use hypnosis to erode his consciousness.
Sepia, who had met her in person, had a crack in her heart.
Rather, it was good news for Asmodeus. I thought so.
“sepia… . What did you just say?”
“They said I was only Ethan.”
Ethan.
Asmodeus had also heard of it. In the past year, four low-ranking demons have died, all of which were related to Edan.
“Does Ethan love you?”
“… … ”
Sepia, who fell unconscious, was silent for a long time. A smile spread across Asmodeus’ lips.
“Sepia, don’t make me angry. Ethan asked if he loved you.”
“Ethan… , me… I don’t know.”
“no. Sepia, I bet you know. Ethan really hates you. That’s why I know your heart and play with it.”
Sepia asked in a soulless voice.
“… Does Ethan hate me?”
“yes that’s right. sepia. Ethan hates you terribly.”
As with most hypnosis, if you keep suggesting your opponent with the Mystic Eye, the effect will grow like a seed.

Just as faith leads to doubt, and doubt leads to unbelief.
“But I like Ethan… . Then it happened.”
“… … ”
Asmodeus sighed. I wanted to somehow trample on this supreme love.
“ha… , Sepia Ethan is using you.”
“Then, I want to be used.”
But even under hypnosis, this headstrong girl did not intend to change her mind.
“Unrequited love is hard work. sepia. I understand everything.”
“no. My heart is not broken.”
I was slightly angry.
Until now, I had never met a person who resisted the power of the Mystic Eye to this extent.
“Tell me what kind of person Ethan is.”
“I don’t know. really… .”
“Just tell me everything you know!”
Asmodeus raised his voice without realizing it. Only then did he touch his forehead and sigh.
“Tell me what you know. sepia. Are you nice?”
“Ethan came as a servant to the Lognes family when he was young.”
“And what else? Tell me about the scars associated with Ethan.”
“Wounds related to Edan… .”
The hypnosis of the Mystic Eye gradually gnaws at the cracks in the heart.
You just need to mend the wound. Even the strong heart will crumble.
“I don’t want to talk… .”
Asmodeus suppressed his anger. If it came out like this in relation to Edan, I had no choice but to use another method.
“sepia… . Then tell me about the things you like.”
“The things i like… ?”
“okay. f*ck Ethan and talk about yourself. You must have likes or dreams, right?”
Sepia seemed lost in thought for a moment. But soon, he began to recite the things he liked.
“My favorite things are teddy bears, tea time, coffee, cookies, cakes… , and Ethan.”
“Stop talking about that damn Ethan. sepia.”
“But tell me what you like… .”
At least, curse words almost came out of my mouth.
“Then tell me about your dream.”
“My dream… ? My dream is to marry Ethan and become a good mother… .”
“No, f*ck. That damn Ethan, Ethan! I mean, get rid of that Ethan.”
Even after being hypnotized up until now, this is the opponent. If I touched all the wounds, my heart would break down.
Then you can play with the other person’s body and mind to your heart’s content.
How much do you have to love someone to be able to do this? Even Asmodeus seemed about to collapse from exhaustion.
“ha… , I would like to change the way. sepia. You want to be a good mother, right?”
“yes… . I want to be a good mother.”
“To be a good mother, you have to get married. There is nothing wrong with this proposition. And you have a chance to be a good mother if you marry me.”
Sepia murmured softly.
“But can you be a mother without getting married?”
“… … ”
At this point, even Asmodeus was confused about whether the opponent was in a state of hypnosis. But obviously, the magic eye was working properly.
“Can you do anything for Ethan?”
“Yeah, I can do anything.”
“Then, let go of Ethan now. Ethan hates you.”
As if realizing something, tears flowed down Sepia’s cheeks. Tears clung to his jawline.
“I don’t want to let go… .”
Sepia’s voice trembled, as if she had really broken up with Ethan.
“I heard that I could do anything for Edan. sepia. You are helping Ethan by marrying another man.”
Asmodeus glanced around to check the time. Now I’m slowly reaching my physical limit.
It’s a pity today, but that’s it.
He wasn’t sure how the hint he had just planted would work.
“Sephia, don’t remember what we did today, just keep it deep in your subconscious.”
The purple eyes turned brown again. Sepia wouldn’t even remember being hypnotized like the others did.

The demonic scene that was in contact with the Lynchester class was still the same.
The trees towered high like a primeval forest, and even in winter, even the leaves were overgrown, so it was dark overall even in the daytime.
At least weed killer was applied, and the road to the shrine was well-maintained.
It was in better condition than the Devil’s Landing Colony I had visited before. The magic was light, so I didn’t feel dizzy or dizzy.
Not only that, but I didn’t see a single Witchbeast.
Wouldn’t it be okay to just call it a primeval forest instead of a demonic realm?
Master led the knights with a firm expression. However, the determination was clearly visible.
‘I want to go too! Maybe I’ll know something about magic when I see it.’
I remember how Hesiah used a group to go with me.
Because it’s a hatchling, he said that he might be able to recognize it by instinctively looking at the magic usage technique.
Since it’s a dragon in its own way, it can handle most battles, but… .
Still, it was too dangerous to bring Hesia to the Devil’s Landing.
There is a big difference between fighting alone and fighting while protecting someone. I had a sudden thought.
‘If the devil’s realm expands, I’ll have to move the shrine… .’
In the end, it was as if the Demonic Beast invaded after believing too much in the barrier. Well, maybe it was because they moved to a place they had been protecting for hundreds of years… .
“Master. I just want to ask you something.”
“What is it?”
“The Demonic Realm has expanded, so is there a reason why the shrine wasn’t moved separately?”
Master laughed as if he was a little troubled. It was then that I heard someone’s voice.
―What a cute kid.
I hurriedly looked around. However, there were only bushes swaying eerily around, but nothing resembling life was seen.
“Why didn’t you move even though the demonic realm expanded? It is said that the beginning of Lynchester protects the Lynchester class here… , Dan-ah over there?”
“Master, I think I just heard something.”
I looked around again nervously.
“What did you hear?”
“uh… , I didn’t hear exactly, but he said he was a cute kid to me… .”
“There are also wisps and ghosts in the Devil’s Nest. Be careful. So as not to be possessed.”
Ah, ghosts or wisps… .
Although it couldn’t physically harm humans, it was a being that could talk to humans.
“Normally, if you have a high mental resistance, you won’t be possessed.”
Currently, my mental resistance has reached level 5. It was because he and Arthur had mastered Professor Cassia’s Resistance Acquisition Intermediate.
At level 5, it’s not even that low… .
anyway.
Since it was a world where ghosts existed, the reasons for not moving the shrine so easily seemed to make sense.
“Don’t be too nervous. With your level of skill, the monsters around here won’t be a danger. But don’t relax too much.”
“I will.”
Soon we arrived at the shrine.
At the entrance, I saw a high stone wall and a magic device with a crystal ball attached to a pillar-like object.
“What is this… .”
Even Master seemed at a loss for words. The place where the spirits of the ancestors were enshrined was defiled.
It was covered with the stems and roots of numerous plants as if it had been neglected for a long time.
It was good to say that it swallowed a building that looked like a Western-style temple. Plant stems climbed up the pillars and reached the roof, intertwining with the building in a messy way.
It wasn’t a beautiful shape like a vine growing on a stone wall, but a visual that could be seen in any zombie movie.
It was the first time I knew plants could be so disgusting.
Intuitively, I knew something bad was about to happen.
