Never touch Eldmia Egar - Episode 573

[573Tue] The Road to Lich is paved with RAGE

The Lich, who felt as if his mind had been hit by a shock and lost his connection with the undead, grinned as he clenched his teeth, feeling the discomfort he had felt for the first time in a long time..

Just smiling caused the magical energy to resonate, causing the body of the demon who was lying roughly on the same room to twitch, but other than that, no other changes occurred. To be exact, Richie stopped laughing before any other changes occurred..

"Some pretty drastic things have arrived.."

There is no way for a skeleton maintained only by magic power and soul to have any sense or emotion. When I first became a lich, I 'mistakenly' thought I felt those things due to my learned habits and experiences, but I've been living as a lich too long for that to still happen..

However, this does not mean that no stimulation can be felt. It's just that the form of stimulation has changed..

For example, when you are hit directly by a divinity that tries to deny your existence, like just now..

"I thought this area was controlled by the devil's army, but I never thought the church's henchmen would attack at once.."

Even though I was not directly harmed, it is true that I was affected to the extent that I felt uncomfortable. Nevertheless, the reason the Lich was able to smile was because he had no doubt that he would soon be able to bring pain and death to the being who gave him this unpleasant gift..

To insult divinity and toy with mortals..

For the lich, it was one of the few activities that gave him more pleasure than studying magic. Richie, who had been working only on petty transactions for a while, woke up with joy at his long-awaited pastime..

"Should I use the specimens I received during my last visit?..."

In the distant past, when a Lich was still a creature made of flesh and blood and could not even remember his own gender, he was on the verge of death without being able to reach the point where he could become a Lich on his own..

It must have been natural for him to make a contract with the devil as he struggled with anxiety about death, surging regret, longing for life, and love and hate for a state he could not reach..

It was a time when it was easier to meet the devil than the followers of the evil god. Richie, who was refreshed by recalling memories of his distant past for the first time in a while, recalled various memories with great joy and remembered one fact he had forgotten..

"Now that I think about it, it was said that if you provide the soul of someone with deep faith, you will receive special help.."

It was a very old covenant, and since I had never encountered people in the clergy except when I became a lich, I had forgotten about it..

Now that I think about it, even back then, I got various benefits in exchange for the souls of the priests. Since he was a warrior who could use holy magic, the lich thought it would be a good deal for him. Without hesitation, he magically moved the staffs lying around, drew a magic circle, and cast a spell..

"I look to you as someone who has abandoned the bonds of mortality and is struggling with the past, taking on the karma of exploitation and exploitation.."

As the magic circle was completed and the spell continued, the body of the demon, who had been lying dead in the same space, shook violently this time, then rolled around like a tumbleweed in the wind and moved to the Lich's side..

However, the lich paid no attention and continued to chant the spell, and soon bloody tears began to flow from the demon's eyes, which lost focus..

"I fill the cup I hand to you with a curse on the blood and divinity of the living, so that I may appear here according to my old promise...."

The demon's blood flows down his face or wanders in the air without falling to the ground. And gradually, the wand moved as if filling the drawn magic circle, completing the red pattern..

The spell was completed only after all the magic circles were completed with blood and the demons were completely killed. Richie concluded his speech in a powerful tone, feeling deep satisfaction at the order being successfully completed even though it had been a long time since he tried it..

"Make a deal, devil Ingladiou.."

The magic circle, which was just blood, burned red. The red-hot flame soon turned blue and began to burn more fiercely. The summoning ritual is perfect. Now it was time for the devil to reveal himself..

"......?"

It must have been like that..

"...Make a deal, devil Ingladiou.!"

The fire is still burning fiercely. This is proof that the spell is working correctly..

Every time I repeat the last words, the fire gets stronger. It meant that a stronger force was at work to summon the devil..

"Take the deal! Demon Ingladiou!"

But for some reason, the person involved does not appear. At this point, even the doubts that I thought had disappeared along with humanity a long time ago came back to me..

"......Is he dead??"

Unless something very special happens, demons do not die in the material world. However, this does not mean that it is immortal or immortal. Even God can face death, so can the devil completely avoid it?.

Even the lich knew that if you were killed in their world, a place commonly called the Battle of Ten Demons, you would experience extinction and never be able to come back to life. But if Ingladiou had died like that, the summoning ritual should not have been successful..

"What on earth is this?..."

If you think about it with common sense, you can only come to the completely unreasonable conclusion that Ingladiou himself is refusing to respond to the summons. Just as you are about to let out a grumble, unable to hold back..

"Phew! Hey, I'm sorry about this, Mr. Skeleton! There was a brief misunderstanding.!"

A devil appeared with a thin and frivolous voice..

"...If you are not Ingladiou?"

Long hair so colorful that it almost looks like a rainbow. A strange outfit that looks like a fancy and extravagant dress that only nobles would wear, converted into combat attire. Androgynous appearance with indistinguishable gender.

The demon named Ingladiou that Richie remembered did not have such a crazy appearance..

"Haaaa.... This is a really, really, really long story. I guess I can give you a brief summary if you promise to do business with me on your behalf.?"

Not only the clothes, but also the way he behaves and speaks, is crazy..

It was closer to a clown than a devil, but he or she was clearly a devil, so Richie erased his doubts and gathered himself..

"...It doesn't matter anything. I just wanted to sacrifice my religious soul and get something in return. If you are willing to accept this deal, I am also willing to make a deal with you, the nameless devil.."

"very good! Accept it! Actually, it's no big deal. Ingladiou That idiot said he would never set foot in this world again. It's not that I don't particularly like Mr. Skull, so don't be too disappointed.!"

The devil? You won’t set foot in this world? really?

Not only were the words pouring out like a rapid fire, but the content made me feel like my eyebrows were twisting where they weren't there, but even then, the devil's clown-like words continued..

"Anyway, since it didn't seem like anyone would care if someone went to such an empty spot, I, Senithigua, came down in person! It seemed like they were belatedly struggling because I was going to go, but I don't think it would be particularly important. A fast-moving devil stealing souls? Isn’t that what it is? under! under! under!"

"Senithigua...?"

"okay! That's my name. Oh, I hope you don't waste time reminiscing about it just to see if you've ever heard of it. I'm not a very famous devil. But don't worry too much, because I can handle the work for Ingladiou.."

As he listened to the demon who identified himself as Senithigua, Lich continued to recollect his memories, but nothing really came to mind. Senithigua himself was waving his hands as if it was no big deal and doing crazy things like lying down next to the dead demon and imitating a mustache by putting the demon's hair in his philtrum, but making a deal with an unknown demon is ridiculous. It's not a light thing like.

There are only two reasons why the devil's name is unknown.

Either he was a small fool, or he disappeared, secretly and surely leading those who learned his name to destruction..

"so? I'm trying to ask for something, but?"

The devil's actions of frowning the bridge of his nose, imitating a deep voice that was completely different from before, perhaps imitating the deep male voice that matched his mustache, seemed very innocent, but Richie decided not to let down his guard..

"no. I just want a deal. I harvest your soul and sell it to you. That's it.."

"Is it a bargain? Good bargain! Okay, where is the stuff? I can show you?"

"If I try to check it by connecting with other undead, I can't show it to them right away because it keeps destroying the medium. But soon..."

"Hey, I can't stand that kind of thing. Just wait, I can see for myself.."

The whites of Senihigua, who had been playing with the corpse of a demon who had not yet experienced rigor mortis as if he were a puppet, suddenly turned black and his eyes rolled back. While the lich was inwardly surprised by the possession magic that was completed so quickly that he could not even recognize it, Senihigua's mouth, which was staring into space with pitch-black eyes without pupils, drew a long arc..

"I found it... ugh!"

At the same time, without any time to understand what had happened, the head of the demon corpse that Senihigua was holding was split in half..
