Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 290

I wanted to say that the ultimate demon bastard was in good form, but I couldn't do it this time. Even though I can't feel the aura or mana, I can feel the magic. Since it is even visible, it is impossible not to know..

[This damn bastard!!]

"He speaks so well like that.."

I thought that if it was possible to pull out the head, it might also be possible to insert it, so I tried the technique and the body of the demon cub that suddenly lost its head was overflowing with magical power to a degree that could not be compared to the likes of Ingladiwu. The original purpose was to drive the head all the way to the stomach, but looking at the head that was stuck in half way, it seems that the degree to which the technique works depends on the magical power of the target..

[What kind of trick are you doing?...!]

In other words, this devil who is acting like a fool to put his head back in place right before my eyes has a level of his own, and there is something that can make up for the gap between me and the devil who is the ultimate devil. This means that it is enough to talk about being the archduke and all that with its mouth, and it also means that it is a waste product that is more harmful to humanity than ordinary demons..

"What are you going to do? I'm going to die anyway."

[Know the topic human!]

As soon as he pulls out his hair with his own hands, he begins to recover disgustingly quickly. Of course, I had no intention of being kind to him, so I took advantage of that opportunity, wrapped my sword in magic, and rushed at him..

In response to me, magical power swirls around him. To be able to cast magic like that was a useless waste of talent. However, perhaps because I was recovering from wounds at the same time, I wasn't able to do it very quickly, and while I dug in, I was able to leisurely cut off the mana and interfere with the guy's magic..

Quang! It must have been a fairly large spell, as quite a few explosions occurred over the devil's left and right shoulders, and his face was colored with astonishment..

[You, it was you!!]

"Some cockroach is always speaking informally.."

Fortunately, the stronger waste material did not prevent the knife from going through it. The resistance felt by the sword was minimal while cutting off the legs and left arm of the man who was reeling from the explosion..

[Kaaaaaak!]

Just as he was about to cut off his remaining arm, the devil's body suddenly dispersed like fog. I was a little surprised that the devil had cast something that would make a vampire do something, but anyway, even if it turned into fog, the magic power wouldn't go anywhere, so I aimed for the place where the magic power was concentrated the most and stabbed it in..

[Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!]

"It's so noisy. Take a cue from Ingladiou. That bastard was quiet even when half of his head was smashed.."

Of course, I had no choice but to be quiet because half of my head was shattered, but I decided not to go into detail about such a minor issue. The devil began to regain his original form, focusing on the area where my sword had pierced, and glared at me with his eyes wide open..

[Ingladiou?! you! It's Eldmia Egaro.!]

"Call me ‘Ega’, cockroach.."

[Kiaaaaaa! How dare you, a mere human being,!!]

Should I say that my will is strong? The demon, which lifted the fog and instantly restored its severed limbs, swung its arms aiming for my head. I pulled out the sword's new arm and swung it, discharging the maximum amount of magic on the sword, blocking the attack and kicking its abdomen with all my might, and the demon flew away with a grunting sound in an unsightly manner..

[Wow, this is ridiculous! No matter how imperfect it may be...!]

An earthquake occurred in the demon's pupils, which, unlike its mud-like body, had realistic-looking eyes, but there was no particular emotion. I just think that the repertoire of excuses for devil bastards may all be the same. It feels like a heart, but I want to aim for the heart, but for some reason, unlike Ingladio, I can't see the heart, so it's a shame I can't do that..

I quickly neutralized it and went over to ask what happened to its heart, but the demon jumped up and shouted..

[I am! A lover of knowledge! It's crumelliada!]

'The retort 'What should I do?' rose up in my throat, but I had no time to say it out loud..

The moment I approached to separate the head of the devil who had cheekily used someone else's signature line, his body began to swell again. At the same time, perhaps because they did not want to allow others to approach, unpleasant thorns appeared in all directions, and they became desperate to avoid and destroy them..

"Eldmia!"

Taking advantage of that opportunity, the group that had been waiting in the back as I said until now ran out. I don't know if it would have been any other time, but now it was an act I was quite thankful for. Unlike me, who has to cut them down one by one, Siegfried has convenient range skills called magic and elemental magic..

As soon as he arrived next to me, Siegfried spread his blade of wind as wide as possible and shouted without taking his eyes off the devil..

"There are so many things I really want to ask, but I’ll hold back for now.!"

"I'll answer as best as I can once it's sorted out later. Rather, a saint? Do you know anything about the heartless devil??"

"Poetry, a devil without a heart?"

At first, I thought the density of magical power was so high that I couldn't see it, but now I was sure. That bastard's heart is not here..

The saintess, who was stuttering and embarrassed, but who clearly recognized the situation through her eyes, frowned in worry. Fortunately, there was nothing urgent right now, so I waited calmly. No matter how many thorns that unpleasant piece of meat pulled out, the elemental magic that Siegfried used was completely blocking it. I don't know what it does, but pulling out thorns like that would take a lot of effort, so it wouldn't be a loss in the long run..

"There is only one recorded instance where the heart of the devil is missing. When we ignore or neglect the process they have to go through to be here.."

"procedure? Like offering a sacrifice or something like that??"

"yes. It's a method that devil worshipers and demons have developed over many years to deceive the world. A demon that hasn't gone through that process has no heart."

The penalty for breaking the rules for a guy with a weakness for the heart is to appear without a heart? Something didn't seem right so I tilted my head, and further explanation quickly followed..

"Only the heart remains in Manmajeon, the world of demons. Without any protection, they remain the most defenseless and become prey for other demons. Even if there was a way to safely protect the heart, it would rapidly weaken as soon as it was separated from the body, and since it appeared here without the heart, it would not be able to use its full power.."

Even if she gets her butt massaged by a warrior in a public place, does that mean she is still a saint? I have been reading books quite diligently, but information that I had no idea about suddenly pops up..

But it wasn't all good. Because it was like saying there was no way to kill that bastard right now..

What kind of unreasonable cockroach is this?.

"Oh no! different! Since they don't have a heart, they wouldn't be able to maintain their physical bodies if they were decapitated or had their heads smashed in! I get kicked out after a huge fight.!"

But what is this? The saint hastily waved her hand and denied my hasty conclusion..

"yes? really?"

"I'm sure. It is difficult to give an exact explanation as it is a form that only demons can do, but since the heart of that demon is not here, he has to use magic related to it to maintain his existence. Even though the source of power is the heart, it is the head that ultimately uses it, and when it is destroyed, casting stops. The demons of the past were actually exorcised in this way.."

"That's a good thing."

Thanks to this, the feeling of fear that I might not be able to kill the devil in front of me subsided in an instant and I felt at ease. It really felt like I was eating a million sweet potatoes..

Perhaps it would be more correct to say that it resisted my techniques because it was much stronger than Ingladiou and other demons, but that I desperately protected it because it would disappear for sure if its head fell off..

I'm starting to regret trying at least one more time, but what can I do? No matter how much easier it has become by making magic organs, connecting magic power to cut a head is a very burdensome skill even for me. To be honest, at first I was planning to end it by blowing off all the heads, but it was particularly tough, so I used it twice more, and now I can't use it carelessly if I want to move properly..

Can you do anything? If magical power doesn't work, you have to use physical force. As soon as that bullshit was over and I was about to rip off his head, I heard the devil's cry..

[Kwararalara!]

"I can't even talk anymore...what is that?."

After finishing the conversation, I turned my head and saw that the swollen lump had grown bigger instead of shrinking. As the mass began to enlarge and change its shape into something other than human, the expressions of everyone, including me, began to distort as it gradually took on a more specific shape..

"Yo, yo, yo!"

Instead of the saint who couldn't even speak properly, Siegfried with a sad face asked me..

"Brother? Is that a dragon??"

What if you, who even hold a dragon slayer, ask me? I've never seen it either.

"If it's not a lizard that got enlarged by a spell gone wrong, it's probably a dragon.."

It still looked like it was made of clay, but no matter how I looked at it, the transformation of the devil cub was exactly the shape that comes to mind when I think of a dragon. I don't know if the size was adjusted or if all dragons in this world were originally that size, but the demon cub, whose body was so enlarged that it filled more than half of a fairly large space, exposed his teeth and declared..

[I'll crush it all and get rid of it.!]

I felt intimidated, why did he scream even though he could speak, and did I have thoughts like whether that bastard's demonic ability was a higher level match of Mongsoon's, but that wasn't what was important right now..

"The hero should take that head.?"

The problem was that no matter what magic I used, if the resilience he showed earlier was maintained, it would be difficult to cut that dragon's neck cleanly with my sword..

Fortunately, Siegfried only adjusted his sword with a rare serious expression and did not make any noise..
