NOVEL NEXT chapter 11
11 – aka wheel – 11
Paimon is such a demon.
A demon who thinks that if he did something wrong, he must pay the price for it unconditionally.
I don’t know why such a demon stole Marvas’ money and ended up here after running away.
Anyway. Thanks to that, Paimon brought the ‘Stand of the World Tree’ in front of us with tears in his eyes.
“This, this is the staff of the World Tree… … !”
Rosé puts a cane on her hand and looks at it with admiration. After that, he tilts his head.
“… … Isn’t it just a branch with leaves?”
… … I knew it.
“A staff made from one of the oldest branches of the World Tree. You grew up next to the world tree, so it may seem that way, but… … There are few better wands than that.”
After hearing my explanation, ‘Is that so?’ Saying that, Rosé swung around.
“surely… … It seems to be much lighter than the cane I used before… … . You can’t write right away, can you?”
“That’s right, it hasn’t been tuned for you yet. He will also do the adjustments.”
“I mean?”
Paimon is surprised that he is suddenly mentioned. Soon, she bit her lip and received a cane from Rose.
Reconciliation was indeed an essential ritual.
It was because an effective staff could be used more efficiently only if it was adjusted according to the summoner’s magic and style.
“It’s too unfair to have my favorite staff taken away, but I’m trying to adjust it… … . Do you have a conscience?”
“Conscience was given to the puppy next door as soon as it was born.”
“… … You don’t lose a word. Rose, hold your hand for a second.”
“A hand?”
Rosé gives her hand to Paimon.
Paimon, who held Rose’s hand, closed his eyes and began to make adjustments.
“Um, this… … surely… … Whoa.”
About a minute passed like that, and Paimon opened his eyes.
“This kid has great potential.”
“I guess so. Because they are descendants of the warrior.”
He is even a descendant of Lily von Euglia, an elf who worked with the hero.
It was a natural result since the two strongest bloods were mixed.
“lol… … It’s embarrassing to say that.”
Rosé scratches her head and blushes.
“However, there is one problem… … . Boy, the slot is full now.”
“yes? a slot? The only summoner I have is Gregory-sama, right?”
slot.
It was a word that meant a bowl that contained summoned water. In other words, if the slot is 100, you can contract 100 summons of 1 capacity. 50 means two, 100 means one.
“How much is it in terms of numbers?”
Paimon blinked when I asked.
“At this level… … It’s about 3000 now.”
“Eek?! Three thousand?! Am I a talent freak?!”
According to the setting, if the geniuses in this world fill all the slots, the capacity will be about 10,000.
Considering Rosé’s age, grade, and growth potential, it was a very high number.
If it was about Purpur, the capacity would be about 1000.
“okay. Well, it looks like he ate all of that 3000, but if you grow up, you’ll be able to command other summons as well. make an effort.”
“yes!”
After adjusting, Paimon handed the wand to Rose and snapped his fingers.
“Your business here is over, right? Let’s go out and talk. It’s too dry here.”
I felt dumbfounded by the magic of the guy who opened the portal even though he was in the next room.
How could a guy called a warrior deal with magic like that? I can’t get a sense of how monsters demons higher than that guy are.
Returning to the original room, I looked at Paimon and asked.
“How much do you want?”
Price negotiation. He asked for the price of the wand of the World Tree.
“150 Prism Jewels. No negotiations or discounts.”
A prism jewel worth 100 times the value of a prism stone.
10 Prism Stones in gold coins. It was about 1 million won at modern prices, so it was 15 billion won.
“To receive it from my territory in the Demon Realm. Arachne will take care of it.”
Write the contents and signature on the paper placed on the table.
Fortunately, this world was a world view using Hangeul, so there were no difficulties.
“150 Prism Jewels… … Gregory-sama, is it really okay for me to use this?”
I said with a smile to Rosé, who looked at the cane trembling at the unrealistic price.
“It was relatively inexpensive. If you put it up for auction, you’ll probably get 200 Prism Jewels.”
“200 prism jewels…! In terms of gold coins… 20,000 gold coins?!”
The amount equivalent to a city’s annual income. It wasn’t a big burden for me, who had a lot of wealth in the demon realm.
“Don’t worry, Rosé, the descendant of the hero. That guy is the one who occupies the top spot in the Demon Realm only with his wealth.”
“Is that so? Gregory-sama, you were a great person!”
He shrugged his shoulders in response.
All the minerals located in the basement of the Demon World were mine, but this much was no big deal.
“Ah! Paimon!”
“hmm? Why is that, Rose?”
As I was about to stand up, Rose suddenly looked at Paimon and said,
“I’ll come to share the fruit when it bears fruit! You like the fruit of the World Tree, right?”
“Hmm?”
Paimon is taken aback by Rose’s sudden remark.
“I know because I secretly ate it when I was young. The fruit of the World Tree is so delicious.”
no wonder. Hearing that it was a staff that bears the fruit of the World Tree, he swallowed.
“If you’re sick, the leaves sent from home are enough, so you don’t need a lot of fruit! That’s why I’ll share the fruit. That’s because we have to share delicious things!”
Hearing Rose’s words, Paimon’s face was dumbfounded.
momentary silence. Soon, Paimon’s body began to shake.
“Big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big!”
Paimon starts laughing like crazy. She said, wiping the tears away.
“Gregory! Rosé is really… the best!”
In response, I also responded with a smile.
“To agree.”
“Yes? Uh… Why are you laughing? Yes?”
I told the bewildered Rose.
“For Paimon, the fruit of the World Tree is a favorite food. It’s nothing more than nothing less. On the contrary, for you and ordinary people, it’s an elixir that increases magical power and heals diseases. They say they’ll share something like that, so that’s what they do.”
Then Paimon says:
“You’re talking like that to me, who’s not even a neighborhood friend, but the Grand Duke of the Pandemonium, the Commander of the Pandemonium, and the 9th rank of the devil. How can I not laugh?”
“cadet…….”
Rosé whose face is dyed red. Paimon stood up and put his hand on the head of Rosé, who was bowing his head.
“Still, I’ve seen your heart well, Rose. If you’re bored or need something, come visit me anytime.”
Completely different soft eyes from the first time I saw them.
Lily. He must be looking at her and Rose at the same time.
When you play the game, there is something like this.
‘Paimon, would you like to try this?’
[After a fierce battle with a group of ogres. Lily approaches Paimon, who is smoking in a corner.]
‘hmm? What is this?’
‘The fruit of the world tree! You were hurt a lot while protecting me in the battle yesterday. Didn’t Lars give you a recovery potion or something?!’
[Lily gets angry by mentioning Ras, Paimon’s summoner. She gives Paimon a bright red fruit.]
‘Eat this and you’ll be fine!’
[Paimon, who received the fruit Lily gave him, looks around and takes a bite.]
‘… … It’s tight.’
[Lily smiles brightly after hearing Paimon’s answer.]
‘Right? It helps with recovery, but… … It’s really delicious.’
‘By the way, why are you handing this to me?’
[Paimon asks while chewing on the fruit. To this, Lily smiles brightly and replies.]
‘Because we have to eat delicious things together!’
An episode that can be seen when you increase the favorability of Paimon in the game.
Maybe it was the overlap between that situation and the current situation.
“Yes! I’ll definitely come back!”
So we said our goodbyes and returned to the academy.
“Are you that good?”
“Yes! It’s the best! It makes me want to try magic once!”
“Then let’s go to the arena.”
The academy training ground was a facility that could be used even after school.
Only 30 of them. Even if only one of them was empty, I just had to recognize my student ID and use it.
“Is it more empty than I thought?”
The place we headed to is the 24th arena, and in the arenas on both sides, the summoners were training with the summoned ones.
“Then let’s try it.”
“yes!”
Rosé extends her wand towards the scarecrow at the end of the arena. And the magic circles that appear on both sides.
“Fire Bullet!”
Basic magic, but highly versatile magic. Fire bullets are ejected and explode as soon as they touch the scarecrow.
“Can you feel anything?”
Rose nodded.
“Yes. I think the chanting and ejection speed has increased and the barrage has increased.”
“I guess.”
Because it was a 15 billion weapon.
“Let’s try something else. Cast a secondary spell on me.”
“yes!”
The haste and strength that take on the body immediately. I could definitely feel that the performance was much improved compared to yesterday’s buff.
“At this level…. It’s similar to the wheel form of the 1st star.”
I tried fisting, kicking, and light jumping. Certainly, the wand was paying its price.
“Do you have anything else to try?”
“Yes? Well, it was expected because the other ones were ejected. I don’t think it’s necessary.”
“I see. Then let’s go back.”
Like that, when I was about to leave the arena.
──────!!!
A huge explosion sounded in the distance.
“What, what? What was that sound?!”
“It was on the side of the dormitory.”
We quickly moved towards the dormitory. As you approach the dormitory, you see black smoke.
In front of the dormitory, as soon as we arrived, what we faced was a scene that was no different from a battlefield.
“It hurts! It hurts!”
“Isn’t there anyone who signed a contract with the water spirit?!”
“I have a friend on the 6th floor! Help me!”
“mom mom…….”
I asked a familiar figure, Elena, who was looking at the academy with a shudder.
“May I ask what’s going on?”
Elena turned her head and looked at me. she opened her mouth
“I-I don’t know. I was about to go upstairs after dinner… but suddenly there was an explosion on the top floor.”
“explosion?”
An explosion occurred inside the dorm? top of the dormitory. The flames started to move.
“That, Mr. Gregory! The flames are moving!”
“……It’s Ifrit.”
Ifrit, an S-class pet. Apparently, that guy was the cause of the explosion.
By the way, but why is Ifrit over there?
“Wow, Princess! The princess is still on the top floor!”
Someone was coming out of the building, hugged by a man.
It was a familiar face, parfait and furpur.
“The princess is fighting the terrorists alone to evacuate the people who remained inside! I need help! Purpur! Back inside soon!”
princess?
The situation was roughly sorted out.
“It’s a terrorist targeting the princess.”
Was it fortunate that I was outside? If it was the top floor, it would have had a considerable impact on the 13th floor where we were.
“Gregory! The princess is still inside! Shouldn’t we go get it?”
Rose looks at me and asks.
“There is no reason we should go in there. The instructors will take care of it.”
The explosion occurred in the 1st grade dormitory building. Second and third year students and instructors were all fine.
If it were them, they would soon subdue the flames and rescue the princess.
“… … is that so.”
Rosé gets depressed in an instant. However, it would have been foolish for us to go through such fire to cross Ifrit to rescue the princess.
“Look. The rescue team is already on the way.”
One of the instructors riding a flying dragon started flying towards the top of the dormitory.
A flying dragon approaching the top floor in an instant.
“This, Ifrit is moving!”
Ifrit swings his fist at the dragon. A flying dragon that tried to avoid it, but ended up brushing the tips of its wings.
“Floating, falling!”
A flying dragon screaming and falling to the ground. Other summoners began summoning their own summons to stop the drake from falling.
Use the spirit of wind to reduce speed and the spirit of water to land safely.
The flying dragon was reverse summoned, and the summoner was safely rescued and began to receive medical attention.
Bake it———!!!
Crying Ifrit. Suddenly, I saw something black standing on top of it.
“… … person?”
Upon closer inspection, I saw someone in a black robe standing over Ifrit.
Maybe that guy is a terrorist.
Seeing a familiar look on his face, I couldn’t help but stiffen.
“… … Why is that guy?”
