Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 583

[583Tue] Devil, Cry.

The contract with Caruberos, a new slave and devil of betrayal with hair as colorful as a rainbow, was carried out quickly and without any fuss..

It was natural. The moment they tried to trick them, they would have just killed them, found the relic boxes one by one, and destroyed them. I was handed what looked like a dark blue ring, which could be said to be a token of the contract, and while I was taking off the gauntlets and putting them on my fingers, Charuberos, who had already been neatly restored to its original state and was kneeling down with his hands up, secretly started to look away as soon as the contract was completed. He secretly looked at me and tried his luck..

"Well, then shall we catch Ingladiou now??"

At first glance, it looks like a hunting dog faithfully trying to retrieve its prey, but just by looking at its gaze and actions, it can be seen at a glance that its purpose is to transfer its heart to the battle of ten thousand horses rather than to capture Ingladiou..

If the Caruberos break the contract, they will be kicked out, but since it was a contract that didn't cause any problems if I didn't keep the contract, I can understand why I fidget like a dog that wants to poop. Since I had voluntarily signed a life-long slave contract that would not have been possible even in a black corporation in a dystopian cyberpunk world, I was willing to tolerate that level of arrogance..

"Catch it. As per the contract, I brought your heart too.."

"Go, thank you!"

"I don't mean to hit you, so I ask you to meet me first and talk. Don't forget to tell him that if he doesn't give in to you, he'll have to suffer even more according to your testimony, and if that doesn't work out well, you'll catch him even if it means I'm going to fall for him... Oh, and if he tries to refuse by swearing, then that's it. It was just an oath and not a contract, so don't be a dick.."

Since I had memorized the summoning circle and then deliberately distorted it a little, it wasn't that difficult to fill in the missing parts. At first, I tilted my head because it was such an easy structure, but after listening to Charuberos' explanation that the spell was made easy so that even bad-headed people can summon it easily, I was immediately convinced..

"Hurry with all your might. When I come back, I'll come right away."

"yes!"

Perhaps out of relief at being alive, I lightly relaxed my body, suppressing the urge to hit the back of the head of Charuberos, who was disappearing into the summoning circle with the corners of his mouth pouting, and whether he came holding Ingladiou's head or persuaded me to bring him back, I decided not to do anything in advance. I took steps to retrieve it..

The Carruberos have said that Ingladiou will be able to undo the deal with Ricci, but honestly, he has no expectations. If my prediction is correct, there is a high possibility that he just wanted to live and talk randomly..

The reason demons risk their lives on contracts is because if they break them, they die..

I don't know if it's the last conscience left by someone who swarmed the devils, or if he's a character wrecker of the century who came up with a way to fuck up even the devils he swarmed, but that's how they got eaten..

The same applies to transactions that have already been concluded. 'Now that the deal is over, it is my intention to kill and plunder you from now on.' If the contract is concluded in this form, what crazy person would make a deal with the devil??

If a deal could be undone even after it was done, why was a pact with the devil considered so dangerous and to be avoided?.

It's impossible because it's so sweet.

''Revert it.' That's exactly what it is..

◈

Suddenly, Ingladiou reflected on his long life..

'For a devil, it was a life without any particular corners. It was Ingladiou who lived as an 'exemplary devil', torturing mortals, fighting with devils, and even though he failed to overthrow a nation, he still accomplished the feat of overthrowing a fairly large city..

One of the grounds for proving this is that even among demons who are basically anxious to eat each other if they make a mistake, there are no particularly hostile entities. Even though he is careful to even breathe due to the fear engraved in his bones, it is also thanks to him that no one comes in to check on the change that has occurred or to take advantage of the opportunity..

At least that was the case until just now. That is, until Senithigua, who had gone over in the summoning circle before hearing all of his warnings, returned..

I thought I was just overreacting. No matter how much the world of mortals is treated as a toy by demons, it is a vast continent for those involved. There is a distance that cannot be ignored between the place where I encountered the being who engraved fear into me and the place where I was called this time..

It was so physically, and also in terms of the territorial differences between humans and demons. Therefore, it was entirely possible to secretly respond to Richie's call and quickly escape. The reason I didn't do that was because I simply couldn't overcome my fear..

Senithigua didn't understand him like that. It didn't matter because he never asked for understanding. As for coming back, 'I guess he ended up safe.' I just have the feeling that.

"Hey, hey! Ingladiou! I'm back!"

So, he thought nothing of it when she calmly visited him again. As always, she thought that the purpose was to make fun of her, and it was purely by chance that Ingladi Wu's gaze fell on Senihi Gua's pupil as she glanced at him..

Ingladiu noticed in that split second that a change had occurred in Senithiguage. It wasn't just that his behavior was awkward, but I was able to read the emotions in his eyes..

"Well, I went over to the other side... and met a human...."

Wandering eyes, vague dialogue, and the anxiety contained within them..

That was definitely something he experienced..

"You met."

It was confirmed that Senigua briefly clicked his tongue at the sight of Ingladiu taking a step back, focusing all his attention and being on extreme alert. But apart from that, Ingladiou's mind was full of questions..

"You went by using Crumelia's shortcut. How was it possible to come back??"

"what does that mean..."

"We met. Eldmia Ega, a human who plays with the devil."

Senithigua flinched at Ingladiu's sharp remark, but the reaction that followed was quite different. And Ingladi Wu, who was watching her closely with her eyebrows furrowed, did not miss that small change..

Senithigua's emotional state, where fear and realization coexist, is not important. It doesn't matter that she came back alive, that she was fine, that even though she met Eldmiaega, she tried to lie to herself about that meeting. Ingladiou's complexion began to turn pale as he arrived at a hypothesis that could never be good..

"you you! You sold me! That's why I was able to come back!"

"Ah, no... not really... Anyway, it's a little different.!"

"What's the difference? Are you planning to say that you ran away from that human race? I don't know if it's any other devil, but I think that kind of lie would work for me who experienced it firsthand.!?"

Ingladiu, who had experienced the difference in compatibility deep down to his bones because he was manifested based on sacrifices, was able to know..

Even if it's an arch-demon, you can't guarantee victory if you face it. He is the natural enemy and death of demons who goes beyond manipulating magic power and is close to becoming one with magic power..

"rich! That reach is the problem. I said I had no intention of harming you, so let's talk first...."

"'There's no way he's trying to talk to us.!!"

One-sided anger and hostility. Something in my head that only wants to erase the existence of the devil from the world. That's Eldmia.

To the devil, Eldmia is such a being. And to Eldmia, demons are nothing more than filth that must be cleaned away. Ingradiu had no doubt that he believed that the reason he was able to survive was because of the incarnation. If he had moved with his heart, he would have perished on the spot..

But conversation? It is more believable that he cannot bear it and tries to use the same demon to catch and kill other demons one after another..

"I really do. I'm just calling you because I know you're the one who signed a contract with Rich. You... you said you swore. A promise to never get involved again. I even told him that if he tried to bring that up and not come, he didn't have a contract anyway, so stop talking nonsense and come.."

Ingladiu may be in a frustrating situation just like Ingladiu, but the same goes for Senithigua..

Did you say comradeship? After experiencing firsthand why Ingladiou was stuck in his hiding place and not moving, it was difficult to show a coercive attitude at all..

"...Phew, I made a contract in exchange for absolute obedience and came back alive. There's nothing I can't do to force you to go. If you don't cooperate, I'll have to report that as well, and in that case, I've even threatened you to be prepared.."

But that didn't mean there was any point in making an emotional appeal. Because they were demons, not mortals from beyond that dimension..

"Make a wise choice, Ingladiou. He said that if you don't come, he will find you later, even if it means coming to Manmajeon later.."

"Ha, how could a mortal be here......"

It didn't take long for Ingladiou's voice, which had been responding reflexively, to begin to lose its strength..

Because that human race really seemed like that..

"......Fucking human bastard..."

In the end, Ingladiou couldn't hold it back and tears poured down like a waterfall from his eyes..
