chapter 23
23 – evil cross – 1
said the saintess.
“I do not pray for the life that the Lord has given me to be able to live comfortably without presumptuousness. I just hope that you will give me the will to overcome adversity and hardship.”
“What kind of ghosts are you talking about? What everyone wants is the former. To be rich, to be healthy. Humans always pray to God for only these two things.”
“Isn’t a life that aims for inner growth, overcoming adversity, a truly healthy life?”
“… I don’t understand.”
I want a comfortable life Also, I wish you a happy life. It is safe to say that she is standing on the opposite side of the saintess.
But I like saints. love and love Thanks to the future she exists, no, I am complete.
saintess. That short two-syllable word is awe, respect, ideal, and goal to me. When I see someone like a saint, the desire to dye them evil just like me drives me crazy. On the one hand, I lose even if I want to be dyed by her.
That is why the saintess makes me complete.
In the past, no, in the future, there is a being similar to the saintess. A hero of justice that will never be seen again in the world. The hero almost made me whole, but finally succumbed.
In my previous life, I spent dozens of years and finally succeeded in degrading her, and I felt joy, endless emptiness, and exhaustion that I would never have again in my life.
Will I be able to corrupt the saintess in this life like that hero, or will I be reformed according to her boasts? I don’t know. If you go to the Eden Academy that the saintess told you to come to, you’ll know.
500 years, I look forward to it so much. Hurry up, Eden Academy is established and I can play with God’s daughter.
Until the day I meet the saintess again, I’m just building a playground. A playground called the continent to run and play with the saintess. With a little bit of personal vendetta.
square-.
Regardless of race, gender, age, and dimension, super-high masters who have reached a certain level.
Monsters that shook the earth when they stamped their feet, split the sea when they spread their swordsmanship, and warped space when they used magic.
Transcendents who were born as mere mortals and stepped into the realm of gods.
Such people are called ‘absolutely strong’ by the world.
There are not too many creatures that are considered the absolute strongest even in all dimensions. The Five Kings, the Archangel, the Great Devil, and the holy woman who died with me in my previous life?
Of course, besides the monsters listed just now, there are many hidden absolute powerhouses in the world. Like the Demon King or the Four Dukes of the Demon World. Godslayer Theseus, who escorted me from the Tower of Babel to the guillotine in my previous life, was also absolutely strong.
Absolutely strong people are monsters, each of which is comparable to the state. If done well, you can wage war against the ‘world’ alone.
It’s not a bunch of bullsh*t. There was one such being in ancient times. An absolute powerhouse who, in the end, singlehandedly put an end to a civilization by wandering around the world through guerrilla operations and causing terror.
And, the person I am trying to impersonate is also the absolute strong.
Not now, but in the distant future. I’m impersonating Lilith, who will become the Grand Duke of the Western part of the Pandemonium. He visited Tartarus in his previous life and was disturbed by the news that the saintess was dying. our clumsy devil.
square-.
I write down black letters with a thin fountain pen. It is not written at once like a single stroke. I write slowly and painstakingly to imitate a girl’s handwriting.
I like beautiful things. Of course, I also like art. Even when I write, I prefer to write sloppily. However, since art is inherently subjective, other people do not understand my taste well.
I am writing pretty enough. Foolish guys caught in the narrow gaze set by society.
The recipient of the letter is Big Brother Letavis. Later, I plan to write a letter to my second brother, Leonard.
“dear… To Lucifer, Letavis, Grand Duke of the Lucifer Family, Duke of the North… .”
Unlike the usual me, each letter contains tenderness to the fullest. Letavis and Leonard should see it and mistake it for a green young succubus from the Dukes of the West.
Lilith at this point is not yet an adult. Because me, the demon lord, and Lilith are the same age. However, since Lilith is also a descendant of an elite family like me and the demon king, the western duchy Klana, she has been a celebrity in the demon realm since childhood.
“That Lilith Klanine… for a long time… I have heard your rumors and secretly admired you… So… … .”
square-.
And high-ranking families in the demon realm enjoy marrying families of the same level. Of course, it wasn’t because of unbecoming demons, such as alliances, but because doing so would increase the chance of a strong individual being born.
The two nobles of the northern duchy and the beautiful noblewoman of the western duchy, even Lilith, are famous for their talent as the strongest succubus ever and for their beauty enough to make me drop a wyvern. This one letter will shake the hearts of the two young demons.
I’m already starting to get excited when I think of the older brothers who are excited, not even dreaming that there would be a youngest brother behind the letter. I want to shatter their expectations soon.
“To fellowship together and build harmony… I hope… . If you’re willing to accept my heart… Tonight at the cliffs of Endros… Please come alone… … .”
The letter is over. I didn’t like the neatly written handwriting, but from the point of view of copying Lilith’s handwriting, it was a perfect false letter.
Tok, tok tok-.
The letter was sealed with glue. And the same letter is copied by hand without making a mistake. The sender remains the same, only the recipient is changed.
This is a two-person life and death book written by me. A letter that ends the fate of the two demons. Joker’s death sentence that no one remembers.
It’s a crude preparation completed in just a few minutes, but this is enough. When hunting wildcats, all you need is a hunting trap.
Still, it’s about catching the eldest and second sons of the highest-ranking family in the demon realm, but you might wonder if it’s too lax. However, from a different point of view, being a child of a high-ranking family is like a flower in a greenhouse.
Letavis is twenty and Leonard is ten. Around that time, the low-level demons of the age group are already competing for survival, and take food after bloody battles between life and death with demon beasts. Even that, there are quite a few times when they are exploited by demons who are stronger than themselves.
On the other hand, Letavis and Leonard are newcomers to combat who have never experienced combat. They may have had a little sparring with siblings or family members within the family, but survival duels where they actually risked their lives are not in their dictionary.
Of course, even high-ranking demons naturally become stronger as they age. Talents from bloodlines, magic accumulated through generous support, and skills handed down from generation to generation make them invincible. What added to that experience is Adela, the eldest sister.
One, not yet. Letavis and Leonard are still meek sheep who have been taken care of within the protective shield of the duke of the North. In fact, in their previous lives, about five weeks from now, they left for training in the Demon Forest and met their end side by side.
It’s also why I rushed to work immediately after hearing the information from King. Because I don’t want to lose a player for nothing. In this life, no matter what, I will put an end to Letavis and Leonard with my own hands.
Even on the next trip to Masurim… This time, I want to go instead of them, keukkeuk.
“Come on, you two. good. Tell my eldest brother and second brother what I mean.”
A letter to be sent to Letavis was tied tightly to the ankle of the dove for mail delivery. I tied a letter to Leonard in the same way for another copy. Soon after, as they banged their buttocks, the two jeonseogu flew up and quietly permeated into the red sky of the demon realm.
In the sky of the demon realm, there are monsters that clutter the sky. Each and every one of them is a guy who can be proud of when he goes to the continent, and even guys like the Black Wyvern are mere ruckus in the sky of the demon realm.
In the sky of such a terrifying demon realm, that fragile telegraph sphere pierces through with their own luck that is bizarrely excellent.
What a strange thing. It wouldn’t have been promised and decided, but how did most of the monsters send the telegraph sphere without being hostile? Well, thanks to that, pigeons among many, many birds have been able to play the role of telegraphs.
Staring at the back of the flying globe flying far and wide, I took out the Horus Egg that I had saved from Adela before. A semicircular sphere that emits brilliant colors reveals its majesty to the world.
Who is Horus? He is one of the five strongest demon beasts and five kings who rule the demon forest, and is the protagonist of a legendary saga that tears the demon’s eyes apart to make them shed bloody tears.
The absolute ruler of the sky who reigns supreme in the sky of the Demon Realm, and no monster dares to touch. That is Horus, the king of yung.
And, right now, what is in front of my eyes is an egg with the son of that monster sleeping soundly. of course! Right now, it’s impossible for me to get a handful of fried food! Quit-quick-quick!
ahead… Ten hours left? until nightfall?
Considering the time I had to go to the cliffs of Endros, where Letavis and Leonard’s tomb would be, I had about eight hours or so left.
You must completely absorb the egg of Horus in it to clean up the qi and blood. There are also a few other things to prepare.
If I had a gun, things would have been easier, but unfortunately.
Although I am glad that I use a knife because I feel good with my hands. I’m a little demon, not even ten years old yet. I mean, I don’t like things that I’m not sure about.
“Still, risky things are fun.”
After a psychological victory, I sneaked out of the room and headed for the kitchen. To prepare Horus’ eggs to eat, and prepare the ‘stage’ for tonight.
I didn’t forget to put the saint’s rosary in my pocket with my gloved hand.

“Oscar… ! This torn baby to kill… !”
Leonard, the second son of the Northern Duke of Makai, grinded his teeth, unable to hold back his anger.
Pudeudeuk-.
The sharply protruding molars unique to the demon tribe mesh together, creating a friction sound like a gear turning. It was a flaw that the cogs were misaligned somewhere.
Throb-.
Leonard covered his gums with the palm of his hand, feeling the pain in his teeth. Just yesterday, his teeth were cracked after he was unilaterally assaulted by his younger brother, Oscar Lucifer.
It was not a big problem for the demons, who had life force that was so wonderful that it was disgusting, but it was enough to offend them.
“A lowly worm since birth… ! Bugs, on the subject… !”
However, it was extremely annoying to Leonard that he had been beaten up by Oscar after not being able to resist properly. No, more than annoying, it was humiliating.
Although he is still only ten years old, he will one day become the Grand Duke of the North after eating the adult Letavis. To be beaten by a younger brother who was only nine years old was a humiliation he did not want to recall.
‘What the heck did he do… ? The guy who, until the day before yesterday, had been beaten helplessly by me… !’
Anger paralyzes reason. Instead, it floods the emotions. Leonard’s condition was exactly that.
Uncontrollable flesh and blood rushes forth. The humiliation of being trampled on by something that was looked down on, the shame of wanting to forget that memory, and the ugly desire for revenge derived from a twisted relationship that should have been clear.
All of that colored Leonard’s reason with violence.
‘Obviously, what kind of cowardly move did he use… ! Aren’t they addicted to acid poison and can’t even use magic… … !’
Memories of the previous day eat away at Leonard. A powerful flying club attacks Leonard. It is a club that does not have enormous power or invisible speed. However, Leonard could not block even one of the pouring rain of clubs.
All of his movements were read, and he was beaten helplessly, except for one lucky blow to the top of his head. Like Cerberus being beaten before climbing into the pot on the edge of the ox. Of course, proud Leonard couldn’t admit that.
Besides, he believed that Oscar had been lucky to beat him. It was a conclusion made by a clouded judgment due to paralyzed reason.
“This chewy baby… ! Later, when he became an adult, he tried to kill him slowly, but he urged himself to do it… !”
A throbbing pain overtook Leonard every time his teeth rattled. The intent to kill grew like a rolling snowball.
In the demon realm, killing young demons is strictly forbidden. This is because, in the past, it was common for adult demons to kill young demons, as they are a species with a strong desire to compete and have a long lifespan. Worried that when they grow up, they will damage their comfort.
Naturally, the number of demons decreased, and the demons were crushed by the self-inflicted crisis of the end. In the end, the lesser Demon God put forward a strict rule, and that was that demons in their infancy or adolescence must be protected unconditionally.
They could not control death from starvation or disease. However, a decree was issued that absolutely prohibited intentional killing, and punished with life imprisonment in case of violation.
For the demons, who were already warlike in their natural temperament, it was a more terrible treatment than anything that rots only in prison during their thousands of years of life.
Of course, this also applies to killing young demons. Because a demon full of talent could kill all of his peers in the demon realm as a check on his rivals. It is also the law that has allowed Oscar, who has no supporters, to survive until now.
Of course, there is one immutable law for all laws in this world. If you don’t take it right away, it has no effect.
“Let’s kill him by accident sooner or later… Poisoning by faking something like food poisoning is good… Whatever it is, I’ll stop breathing sooner or later… … !”
The perfect crime is innocent. Leonard was thinking of a plan to dispose of Oscar using that classic and famous law.
Tok tok -.
It was at that moment that I heard something blunt and hard knocking on the window.
