Episode 273. The Devil’s Nature (2)
In front of the Demon Castle, where a dry sand wind blows like a storm.
The energy of the two men and women, who showed no signs of backing down, eventually soared to the point of imminent action.
None of the other demons could come forward, so they just watched with open eyes from a distance.
“okay. “So you have no intention of opening your mouth?”
“… … .”
Despite the Demon King’s final warning, Runab did not open her mouth until the end.
For her, Xian’s whereabouts came first.
Belkarion, who had endured enough, eventually raised his hand.
– Quad Deuk
As he lightly clenched his fist, the sound of bloody bones echoed everywhere.
As if to counter this, Lunav’s expression did not change at all and she unfolded her magic book proudly.
The two stared at each other with eyes that looked like they could eat each other at any moment.
“I went to an unnamed lake!”
Betsy stood between them and stopped them.
“Lake of the Unknown?”
Belkarion’s eyes turned directly to her.
“yes. I just wanted to get some air for a moment. I’m feeling frustrated… … .”
It was a lie.
There was a big incident that could have put her life in danger, but Betsy could not tell Belcarion about it.
This was because I knew very well that no one could handle the repercussions that would come if they told the truth.
“okay? Well, if you’re feeling stuffy, you might want to get some air. good job.”
Then Belcarion comforted Betsy with a generous smile, as if he had never done so before.
“Let’s just go in. “The air in the demon world is worse today.”
I thought it would end without leading to such a big situation, but
“I haven’t heard an answer yet?”
Lunav caught Belkarion as he was about to return to the castle.
She hasn’t heard back about Xian yet.
“Where is Senior Xian?”
“Well, I don’t know? I was with him in Arem, but he suddenly disappeared on his own. I was too lazy to look for it, so I came alone. “I don’t have any obligation to look for it, do I?”
Belcarion only half-turned his head and answered indifferently.
At this, Runab looked at Belcarion with distrust for about three seconds.
Then he turned around as if there was nothing more to see.
“Wait a minute, Lunav! “Where are you going?”
Betsy, startled, quickly grabbed her.
“I’m looking for a senior. The person I went with said he didn’t know, so I should go find it myself. “Can you tell me which side of Alem is?”
Lunav answered without a doubt that she was going to look for Sian.
“Hey, calm down first. I guess something bad happened to Belkarion. I will convince you well and find out where Xian is. So for now… … .”
“You don’t have to do that.”
“… … !”
“It’s not exactly wrong. “We are just strangers here, but I think I have to find my own person.”
Runab seemed to accept the Demon King’s words that he had no obligation to search.
Betsy could not continue speaking due to her firm attitude.
“As long as I find you, I’ll be back soon, so don’t worry too much. Because we must continue to share the energy of life… … .”
After saying those words, Lunav completely turned his back on me.
Betsy couldn’t catch her as she got further and further away, so she only gave her a pitiful look.
“… … ”
Belcarion was looking at Betsy with disapproval.

-visor!
I didn’t count how many matches we competed from the beginning, but I think we competed at least 50 rounds.
The competition was purely based on swordsmanship, without any additional powers such as magic or secret techniques.
As expected, my father’s sword was very honest.
Heavy and fast, yet faithful to the basics.
It was the sword of an upright knight.
It is no exaggeration to say that this represents the decades of life my father led.
It was clear that he was someone who deserved respect from all the knights in this land.
But that’s it.
It wasn’t that great to me.
Didn’t he eventually lose his own identity and become a foolish puppet who didn’t even know what he was working for?
I ended up becoming someone I couldn’t respect or look up to.
-Tung!
“Ugh!”
My father, unable to withstand my somewhat emotional swordsmanship, ended up being pushed back.
-chin!
I thought I would lose my balance and fall to my knees, but I managed to maintain my balance by pressing the floor with my sword.
“That’s amazing, Sian. “It’s so much more than I thought.”
Although I received praise, I wasn’t happy at all.

“I understand that Eshel couldn’t beat you.”
Seeing as you bring up that guy, I guess you can still hold on.
I lowered the blade of Kayram and slowly approached my father.
“What do you gain by fighting with me?”
“What are you saying now?”
“I got curious again. I have a compelling reason to kill you, but you have nothing to gain by fighting me like this, right? “You could cut my head off right now, right?”
It’s an inevitable reason why they have no choice but to kill me.
I was curious about the grand reason, but I didn’t ask.
“Do you want to be recognized by me?”
“Didn’t your father tell me to prove the worth of my sword first? “I’m just following that.”
I wondered if he had forgotten what he said a moment ago, so I immediately asked him back.
“Do not ignore your parents’ eyes. “I can see your desire in your eyes now.”
“What desire?”
“The desire to have your own value recognized by me. I don’t think you’re clashing swords like this simply to follow my orders. Even if the father was insane, did you want to prove it? “That the path you were taking was right?”
I didn’t give any answer.
“Yes, I will admit it, Sian. I can’t deny any part of the path you’ve walked. “You have completely walked your own right path.”
I burst out laughing without realizing it.
and.
These are words I desperately wanted in my past life, but you let me hear them so easily?
Instead of being happy and exhilarating, it feels completely empty.
Nothing will change for me now just because I received that belated recognition.
Even my father wouldn’t know that.
“But, Sian.”
Sure enough, my father continued talking to me.
“What does it mean to do that now?”
-Pazy!
At that moment, white light soared from beneath my feet.
The light soon spread out in the form of a magic circle, and a strong flow of magical power oscillated within it.
I quickly raised my head and looked around, and saw that the knights who had been watching my father’s competition were passing down magical power at my feet.
A blockade?
no. It’s a much stronger barrier than that.
This is a bastion of favor for the frontline knights and the best defense system for situations where large-scale monsters such as devil dragons appear.
“The truth of death?”
It is a realm of extremes and death that leads those who reach the space to an irresistible path of death.
You’re using this dangerous secret technique on me, so much so that it costs the caster’s life?
That meant that he was serious about killing me.
“I’m sorry, Sian.”
As if to say his final goodbyes, my father suddenly handed me an apple.
“I hope that in your next life, you will not be born as this ugly father’s child.”
It’s so absurd that I can’t even laugh.
When was the last time to sow a seed and grow it into a lump of blood, and now what?
No matter how crazy you are right now, it’s hard for me to bear it now.
“I think my older brother must have misinformed my father.”
“… … ?”
“Did you think that the Jinn of Death could kill me?”
He slowly turned his hand and turned the blade of Kayram’s blade, which had been aimed downward, forward again.
-sssss
Then, black fog rose from my entire body, covering the barrier that was trying to constrict me.
-Kwajangchang
“Kaaak!”
The barrier shattered in an instant like a glass window, and the knights who could not withstand the wave were thrown away.
“It’s so pathetic that I can’t help but laugh. Even though I’ve been through something like that, I still haven’t figured out the extent of my worth? Well, I think that pathetic devil would be more than capable of doing that!”
After destroying Jin for pride, I walked towards my father again.
“… … .”
My father did not move forward or back down, but just silently accepted my approach.
His expression was calm, but his eyes were subtly shaking.
[What are you going to do?]
Kayram, who had been silent so far, finally opened his mouth and asked.
What are you going to do?
There are many things you can do.
I think I got recognition. I can persuade my father and ask him to guide me to where that guy is.
Or you could just use the shadow personality and give your father a new personality.
Just like he did with Kelin, who was his henchman before.
It would be more convenient for me.
Still, considering he is my father by blood, do you think this is too much?
Didn’t that father already tell me?
What does it mean to do that now?
That is correct.
Regardless of whether this man in front of me is my father or not,
Just use it for me and as I wish.
Is there a law that says I shouldn’t take advantage of my father?
The moment I held one hand full of mana, firmly holding in my heart a decision that would not be reversed,
-Whoa!
Suddenly, I thought a huge shadow passed across the red sky, and a strong gust of wind blew in its wake.
In an unexpected situation, not only my father and the knights turned their attention to where the shadow had passed.
As the reeds and trees around the wetland had grown to more than three times the height of an adult male, it was impossible to confirm exactly what had passed by.
There was something unusual about the energy.
It’s an energy that cannot be ignored, even if it’s just that something large and unknown has passed by.
-thud
After a while, huge footsteps began to be heard from the other side of the marsh.
The sound got closer and closer with each step, and even a rumbling occurred in the ground.
I continued to focus my gaze in the direction from which the sound was coming.
This is the demon world.
It is a place full of strange beasts that you can’t even see in Lemea Gorge.
In other words, it is a land where you never know when or where you will encounter demon beasts in areas other than the residential areas where demons live.
In the end, there was a high possibility that the owner of those huge footsteps that were now ringing was also a demonic beast.
However, if he was just a low-level magician with nothing special to do, I wouldn’t be so wary.
Soon, a huge shadow appeared on the shallow wetland water.
What was immediately visible were horns sprouting from the head and huge wings.
And then a long shadow, presumed to be a tail, was seen.
Just by looking at the horns and wings, you might think that it could be just a regular demon, but
Not a tail.
The demons I’ve seen so far, including the demon lord, have no tails.
Horns, wings, tail.
There is only one race in the human world and the demon world that possesses all three body elements.
-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-jump-bump
The sound of footsteps, which had been loud enough to shake the ground, suddenly became quieter.
A step so dignified that it is reminiscent of the steps of an aristocrat.
The owner of the footsteps soon appeared on the wetland and made eye contact with me.
“Are you the human who came to this demon world?”
The way he asked questions in a polite tone was like a human noble.
However, there was only one thought that came to mind when I saw that image.
“Polymorph?”
It was very similar to what a creature I knew looked like when it turned into a human.
There is one difference:
I could feel the energy of a full dragon, not just a half dragon.
