chapter 3
3 – Because You’re Back 2
A trio of human hunters belonging to Kirks, a demon hunting group.
Marco, Jiren, Louis.
The main commodity of the deal, which they succeeded in recapturing,
I was seized with intense excitement while watching a high-ranking demon called a dancer.
A dancer who terrified people with only her nickname.
The number of heroes who died at her hands was uncountable,
Her To face her on the battlefield would mean her own death.
However, despite its fame,
At this moment, the tendons in both hands were severed, and it was running out of stamina without a single weapon.
For the trio, it was just a weak female with horns on her head, nothing more, nothing less.
In addition, it has a strikingly off-white color and overall skinny, but it has a nice body that is well out there.
Although it is a commodity, they had no reason to refuse this well-prepared meal.
You should be able to heal virgins with magic anyway.
No, since they didn’t know exactly whether or not they were virgins in the first place, the three of them thought there was nothing to hold back about this.
However.
After simply savoring the taste, this moment was about to have fun in earnest.
The three of them faced a completely unexpected situation.
“Big… her… Huh… “
“Don’t… Marco!”
Marco was the first to have fun.
He screamed in sudden excruciating pain and collapsed into his seat.
I wasn’t sure exactly what happened.
But one thing is certain,
It was the fact that his hand, which he had just stretched out toward the secret place of that demon woman, was rolling on the floor, spewing blood.
“What… What is this eh!!!”
Marco let out a scream in sudden agony and confusion.
His voice was twisted like a pig-picking sound.
However. His voice, which echoed in all directions, suddenly stopped.
The reason…
“Keah….Blanket….Blanket… blanket… “
“Noisy… “
Someone suddenly appeared in front of him.
Judging by the black horns sprouting from the side of his head, his hand was obviously a demon.
The bones covered in blood and snow spots…
Marco’s vocal chords were heard.
“C… do… L… “
Marco struggles forward with his severed arm, letting out a muffled voice.
Then.
-Pak!
“!!”
The sight in front of your eyes shakes wildly for an instant.
What followed was quite familiar to Marco.
The armor he usually wore.
Wearing it…
His body…
Pouring blood from where his head used to be…
“… ?!?!”
– Bang!
Marco’s body completely collapses after his head is cut off.
Jiren and Louis shouted in anger as they watched their colleague get killed in an instant.
“This… Eat!”
“What are you? Dare to Marco… “
“… “
A demon who suddenly appeared and killed his comrades.
Dark red hair and golden eyes with a cold face.
There are black horns sprouting from the side of the head,
The demon with the appearance of a young male with a slightly skinny body and well-developed muscles, it was clear that he was quite strong at a glance.
However, apart from the surprise killing of Marco, the two of them were not thinking about defeat.
The opponent was wearing nothing but shabby pants, let alone a weapon.
Although the fingernails used to kill Marco were stained with blood,
It would have been difficult to deal with a weapon made of steel that much.
In addition, Marco, who was killed, was the weakest among them.
His mind was preoccupied with the idea of even making fun of the dancers.
In the meantime, I was in a situation where I threw down my weapon and took off my armor.
It was very easy for them to kill such a guy with a surprise attack.
On the other hand, the two men were armed and ready for battle while clearly recognizing the enemy.
I watch the opponent’s every move with my eyes,
He raised his mana and even shaped the sword.
Now that the battle preparations were complete, they were convinced that they, as skilled demon hunters, had nothing to lose.
‘I’m sorry that Marco died, but it might be a good thing that another unexpected prey rolled in… ‘
‘It’s a little disappointing that the other person is male, but that doesn’t matter since there is a demand for it… Now that Marco is dead, my share must have grown that much… ‘
There was also the revenge of a colleague, but the important thing is the gain you will get after hunting,
With that in mind, the two immediately began to act.
Two people slowly approaching him while holding poisoned swords and spears.
As the poison could paralyze the movements of demons at once with only a small wound, he didn’t have to strain himself to inflict fatal wounds.
Even the opponent didn’t even have a good armor.
No matter how fast you move
It’s as simple as making a small wound, poisoning it, and capturing it.
Convinced that the hunt would be as usual, the two immediately rushed towards the target in front of them.
Short and concise, perfect breathing that does not interfere with each other’s movements,
Accurate and quick movement without any superfluous.
Even if one side was defended, it was almost impossible to completely block the attack of the other side,
This could be said to be a surefire tactic for them, who could bring victory with just a small wound.
On the other hand, the male demon who became the target showed no response to this.
I just stood quietly looking this way.
Looking at this, deep smiles began to form on Jiren and Louise’s lips.
‘It’s not that we don’t respond. You can’t respond!
‘I don’t know where this guy came from, but this is the end of you!’
So confident of victory, the two swung their weapons at the same time,
Their weapons succeeded in inflicting precise wounds on the body of their prey.
So… It should have been…
“Huh?”
“What… what?”
The moment you wield a weapon, you feel the overwhelming sense of emptiness.
The feeling of slicing through the air that can be felt even when the weapon is clearly accurate.
Embarrassed by the fact, Lewis looked back urgently.
“Uh… Where are you? Where did you disappear… !”
At that moment,
Something suddenly appeared in front of Louise’s eyes.
Lewis didn’t know exactly what that black, sharp thing was that completely obscured his vision.
Forever.
-Pak!
“!”
“Lu… Louis!”
Black nails piercing Louis’ eyes and head with a terrible sound.
Watching the death of a colleague who couldn’t even scream in a single blow,
It was only then that Jiren realized that something was wrong with her.
“This… this… how did this… Going to be?”
Full-armed, fully-armed cooperative attacks.
It wasn’t enough that it was broken in an instant, and another colleague was also killed in the process.
Unlike Marco, Louis, who is now dead, is a person with superior skills than himself.
The sight of him being beaten without even using his hands was enough to make Jiren’s expectation turn into fear.
“Ugh…Uh…”
– Bang!
A demon who throws Louise’s corpse on the floor.
As it slowly approached, Jiren barely raised her sword, terrified of her.
My whole body trembled, and my legs had no strength at all.
Fear of death.
While doing this job, I thought I had overcome that kind of thing a long time ago, but
Jiren was in the middle of feeling the fact that her own misunderstanding was her own.
“Ahhhhh…”
– Clink!
In the end, Jiren drops her sword, unable to overcome the fear that squeezes her heart.
Then he knelt on the floor and bowed his head, following his biological instinct.
“Sin…. Sorry! I… I was wrong!”
Jiren shouts with earnestness.
She never imagined that the day would come when she would beg for her life from her prey, the demons.
His position is always on the begging side.
Asmodian soldiers begging for their weapons,
A demonic woman begging for the life of her child to be saved.
A young demon begging for mercy while wringing out tears and runny nose.
The screams heard when killing them or selling them as goods always came as a deep pleasure to Jiren.
For him, seeing the weak waiting like worms and falling into the abyss was like a fun performance that energized his life.
However,
There was no humiliation or pride left in him now to contrast with the past.
The important thing is the instinctive desire not to die.
I just desperately don’t want to end up in a place like this.
Like that, Jiren begged the demon in front of her with all her might.
” Please save my life! I will do whatever you ask! So please… Please…”
Then.
-Pak!
A sudden, sharp shock.
A blow to the back of the head
Jiren just lost her mind.
Until the last moment, she harbored a deep fear of death.
*
Brown hair, green eyes,
And, a demon with white horns sprouting from its forehead.
Dancer. Hela Ragnarun.
As she watched the sudden change, she was seized with a deep shock.
Her The human hunters who had heard of insulting her just a moment ago.
For her defenseless state, it was a disaster she could not handle.
At this moment, they were all either killed or lying on the ground in a state of fainting.
However,
A fact that surprised her more than this circumstance.
It was about her presence, who appeared suddenly and saved her.
A demonic man slowly turning his head towards this direction after knocking out the last remaining human.
When Hera saw his face,
I couldn’t say anything for a while.
I was wearing only shabby pants,
Hela couldn’t quite figure out who he was.
The one she thought she would never see again,
The lord who swore eternal loyalty.
Demon King.
At the sudden appearance of him who was apparently killed
Hella began to wonder if this moment was a dream.
“Are you okay?”
“!”
A voice that could be heard clearly in her ears.
After the tragedy of that day,
A voice I wished I could hear again, even just once.
Along with that, while watching the lord reach out his hand toward him.
Hella asked in a trembling voice.
“Don’t… Devil… sir? Really… Really Demon King… Are you?”
I even felt the fear that this might be a dream.
I thought that if it was a dream, I would never want to wake up.
And.
“!… “
As if to soothe her anxiety,
That man,
The Demon King Arcadia Harmageddon
I bent down a little deeper and held her hand.
Warm yet firm.
The grace of the master that he only received once in the past.
Toward Hela, seized by the sense that something was overflowing.
Her lord spoke in a voice that felt his signature quiet and calm dignity.
“Yes, it is me. So now you can rest assured. Hella.”
“Ah… Ah… “
The lord’s words erased her anxiety.
At this, Hella felt the tension she had been barely holding on release, and bowed her head deeply.
“Heh… Hella?”
“Black… Sobbing…. Black… “
The despair and pain I’ve been repressing for the past few months.
As they were released all at once, Hella started to shed tears.
Inside her, she really is the joy that her own master has returned to life.
And,
I can’t tell anyone.
She contained another emotion unique to her.
