Never touch Eldmia Egar - Episode 289

What Crumelia felt was intense anger..

He was enraged as he realized that all his plans had been completely turned upside down due to that one phenomenon whose cause was unknown. He was angry at the uncertain situation where he could not even tell whether the being in front of him was really human or not. I was angry at the fact that if I continued like this, I wouldn't even be able to use my hands properly and the head of the bowl would be blown off, and my consciousness would also be forcibly ejected into the Manmajeon..

In the face of all that anger, Crumelia, to put it bluntly, rolled her eyes..

[dare!!]

The intense anger I felt for the first time in hundreds of years felt like my brain was frying. I couldn't understand how a human who was just a toy suddenly kicked and trampled on the boards he had put so much effort into building up one by one. Crew Melia, who had spent her entire life stealing from others and ruining their plans, could not possibly admit that she was in such a situation..

Crumelia, who lost her reason and was moved by emotion, took action, ignoring all the risks she had to take in order to calm the anger boiling inside her..

[Four crabs!!]

Eldmia's sword aimed at Crumelia's neck, but failed to cut it. All she did was cut off a pile of her flesh, which had suddenly begun to swell and twist..

Eldmia, who noticed the strange incident and immediately stepped back, frowned at the sight of Crumelia's suddenly expanding body as if exploding, swallowing up the surroundings and instantly expanding in size..

"It's so damn."

However, unlike him who felt very disgusting and repulsive, the five demons who suddenly appeared and were put in a situation where they had to search for their own bodies were more serious than ever. They didn't know why their necks suddenly separated, but they knew very clearly what Crumelia was trying to do..

Crumelia was now doing the equivalent of stuffing herself into the hole that demons used to sneak into the human world. She even arbitrarily broke contracts and promises that she should never break, and tried to use herself as a substitute for the sacrifice she lacked..

The problem was that the method by which they appeared in the human world this time was by no means common..

Rather than the traditional method of manifesting by creating a body through sacrifices, the idea of ​​manifesting for a short time to avoid the surveillance of the world and then collecting sacrifices 'directly' to quickly create a body to manifest was a truly classic and novel attempt. Crumelia confidently and in extreme detail explained the new and ingenious way to fool the gods. Because of that, the demons were able to make a deal with her plan, admiring it even though there was one very big problem..

If you die before collecting the sacrifice, you will disappear. It is not like leaving your heart behind in the battle of ten thousand demons, so how could something like that happen to mere humans? I thought that if you live, you will eventually die in some form, which is no different from a joke that is not a joke..

Until just now.

[Hey, Crumelia! This is a different promise...!]

[contract! Remember the contract, addict.!]

[this crazy...!]

As a result, they met death in an unimaginable form: being absorbed by Crumelia. Eldmia couldn't help but laugh at the ironic sight of the devils, who had been demanding sacrifices from humans, being reduced to sacrifices in despair and embarrassment..

Actually, I didn't know that I was in a situation where I could afford to laugh. It was possible to guess that demons and monsters would be buried and absorbed into that disgusting mass of flesh, but the result was completely unpredictable. As the expansion itself could be a threat just by continuing, Eldmia did not let go of tension even as she looked at the huge mass that had swallowed everything that had been summoned and then stopped its activity as if it were a lie..

Fortunately, the swelling did not start again. As soon as it swallowed the things it had summoned, the bizarre flesh stopped its activity, flinched for a moment, and then began to shrink at a rapid pace..

Naturally, it didn't seem like a good sign..

"Fuck, usually things like this start with phase 2.."

Eldmia strongly sympathized with Siegfried's muttering behind her, but that did not mean she could jump in right away. Eldmia was the type of person who thought that not attacking the opponent when they were transformed was a stupid mistake that only third-rate villains make, but the problem was the amount of magic contained in that grotesque piece of flesh..

If I were to think of the closest level of magical power, it would be the sphere beyond the gate of the abandoned dungeon where I received my first request with Gaendal and his party. If that thing exploded due to my attack, an explosion similar to the one I experienced back then might occur. Even at that time, the aftereffects were enough to bounce off the ball like a ball, so it was clear that if you were caught in an explosion like that, not only would the waterway collapse, but you would all die..

While the unidentified movement was left unnoticed, the unpleasant, human-sized, writhing mass of flesh began to crumble..

Then, a woman who looked like she was made of red clay was standing there with her eyes closed. Elde Mia's head was tilted to the side due to her strange appearance, as both the clothes and the person looked like they were made of clay, but Cheryl and Tenesi, who were watching from behind her, felt so intimidated that they could not control their bodies and were in awe..

While they were forcibly resisting the feeling that their bodies were being dragged to the floor by something so terrible that it was incomparable to when the demons had just appeared, the clay woman's mouth opened..

[I am Crumelia, the Grand Duke of Ten Thousand Demons, a lover of knowledge..]

Even though it was just a conversation, Cheryl felt her knees go weak..

The only consolation for her was that it was not just her problem. Tenesi was trembling while reciting the prayers of the Imperial Holy Synod with his hands clasped together, and even Siegfried, who was always calm or relaxed, was holding his greatsword with a serious expression on his face and poised so that he could jump out at any time..

I was able to know through knowledge. That it never appeared in this world in a normal form..

That gave me a good guess. That being has a weakness and is by no means unkillable..

But despite this, the unidentifiable presence and intimidation seemed to shout to the whole world that this was a being on a different level from my current self..

"vs...the devil..."

Even Siegfried was sweating from tension..

The demons who helped the Holy Light Cross Society kill were not easy people. Just as they prepared a lot and went into battle, the devils and devil worshipers also made various preparations in the process of eating away at the church, and even though it did not reach the level of feeling life-threatening, it was one of the few battles they had ever experienced in their lives. My honest impression was that it was a daunting fight..

Because I had that experience, I did not feel fear when I saw the possessed demon. I wasn't afraid when I saw the five demons coming out of the gate. When all the heads of monsters and demons suddenly fell off, I was so shocked that my eyeballs popped out, but I wasn't worried when I saw them all disappear into a mass of twisted flesh with the sudden change..

Whatever it was, I thought it was worth dealing with. This was possible because I believed in my own judgment that was thoroughly based on experience, not based on groundless confidence. It took less than 10 seconds for that judgment to collapse..

As soon as the flesh that was no different from a cocoon was created into a demon, its presence changed..

After possessing himself in another world, Siegfried used to scoff every time he heard the words 'intimidating presence' and 'presence', but this time he had no choice but to admit that it was real. It was an intimidating feeling that made me realize once again that I only have one life in this world, not a game..

At the same time, the fact that the reason such a being could appear here may have been the numerous deaths that occurred at the headquarters of the Holy Light Cross Society weighed heavily on Siegfried's shoulders. He said that the cause may have been a new method that not only he, a stranger to the world, but even the Paladins had not expected, but from his perspective as a warrior, it felt no different from the fact that he had brought the threat here..

If that devil were to run out onto the ground, there would be a literal massacre. Those stronger than him may be mobilized to eventually take him down, but it is clear that the human casualties cannot be ignored..

A single word made me think countless thoughts, and after a moment that felt like it had been split into eternity, the archdemon Crumelia opened her closed eyes and aimed at Eldmia with anger. And she continued, chewing over each word..

[With my name and soul on the line, I will surely tear you to death..]

Only then did the three people notice that Eldmia was still facing Crumelia without moving. Distance has been created to avoid expansion, but is distance really meaningful to a being like that? Even though her thoughts were so crazy, the reason Sheryl didn't run to Eldmia's side was not because he told her to stay still, nor because she was afraid..

In the same posture as the sword is drawn.

This was because he had been facing Crumelia with his calm and weak appearance without any change from before until now..

I don't know if it was because she thought she had absolute superiority, or if there was some other reason, but Crumelia looked down at Eldmia with an arrogant attitude and waited for her reaction. In response, Eldmia, who was looking at Crumelia crookedly with her head tilted to the side, suddenly unsheathed her sword and took a stance as if she was going to sheath her sword again..

At a time when even Crumelia was looking at him with a look of inability to understand what kind of bizarre behavior this was, Eldmia spoke..

"try."

As soon as he put the sword into the scabbard, Crumelia's head, which was still intact, stuck in its body as if someone had hit it with a hammer..
