NOVEL NEXT chapter 6
6 – Archabug – 6
[Devil Paimon]
Purple eyes that seemed to peer into the abyss and fangs that seemed to represent his personality.
It looks like a beautiful girl with serrated teeth and ponytailed hair, but this is only for sale at the gacha.
The reality is completely different.
The ninth greatest demon in the top 10 of Solomon’s 72 demons.
The king who rules the western part of the demon realm, and the devil who has mastered various studies.
However, these are just the settings of this world.
To me, who has mastered this game, Paimon just looks like an SSR card.
“One favor? I’m asking you a favor, but… There are conditions.”
“condition? I’m the one being asked, so why are you setting conditions?”
“Aside from you, there are other demons to ask for in Middle-earth. For example… … Marvas. Is that old man still training alone in the mountains?”
“Hey, wait!”
Paimon, who was listening to me, slammed the table and jumped up from his seat.
I didn’t care and continued talking.
“You can run to Marvas and tell him right away. ‘I know the dwelling place of Paimon, who went into Middle-earth with your possessions. If you help me, I will tell you where to live.’”
According to the setting, Paimon is like Marvas’ granddaughter.
This threat, of course, has no choice but to work.
“under… … . Still, that f*cking negotiating method sucks.”
“The name of this Negotiation Act is the f*cking Negotiation Act. So, are you ready to hear my terms?”
Paimon sighs and presses his temple.
“Yes, tell me.”
“It’s up to me to decide whether or not to grant that request. Of course, I won’t say no to it, so don’t worry.”
“under.”
Hearing my words, Paimon let out a laugh.
“Did you mean that I would refuse any request that would be disadvantageous or damaging to you?”
“I know you well.”
You really are such a f*cking asshole.
After muttering that, Paimon starts banging on the table while blowing a fungus.
And soon, as if he had finished the calculation, he started staring straight into my eyes.
“Gregory.”
“Why are you calling?”
“If it were you, you would know. How difficult it is to send a summoned beast contracted by a summoner to its original world.”
Of course I knew. Because the setting of [Summoner Academia] is like that.
Summoned beasts that were summoned in response to the summoner cannot return to their original world.
You can just relax in the mental space. It was that he had to stay in this world until the summoner canceled the contract.
“So, there is something this old man does not understand.”
widely! and put the mold on the table.
“Why did you sign a contract with an elf?”
she is asking
Why did a powerful demon like you make a contract with an elf? Why did you make a contract with the descendants of the hero?
After making such a contract, he was trying to return to the Demon Realm.
“If I answer, will the contract be concluded?”
“Do not do that.”
In preparation for such a time, there are a lot of memo papers written down in the image space, but I didn’t expect to start using them.
“It’s playful.”
“… … Yu-hee?”
“You must have heard the rumor that the disaster has returned, right?”
Paimon nodded. I kept saying
“It was judged that it would be fun to defeat that calamity together with the descendants of the hero. That is why I responded to the summons.”
And he presses my head and says.
“Even the memories are sealed.”
“… … … Seal your memories? Did the guy whose memories were sealed come to visit me and mention Marvas?”
“Since I sealed my memories, isn’t it up to my heart to decide which memories to seal?”
This was the main point.
It was necessary to embellish me, who suddenly possessed this body and had no memory of Gregory Jones.
The opponent is the devil. Lazy excuses never work.
“I am the Grand Duke of the Demon Realm. If you come to Middle-earth with your body’s power, won’t the celestials be annoying?”
heavenly setting
“Is that all? The disaster will accelerate, and if you are strong, you will even attract the eyes of the dragons who are looking for them with their eyes on.”
Disasters, and even settings related to dragons are brought out.
“So when I judged myself, I came up with the most enjoyable way to seal the power, and I decided that it was to seal part of my memories. Paimon, aren’t you too bothered by the intervention of such people, so you’re just playing the role of a fortuneteller in a backwater workshop like this?”
If this was an excuse, even if Paimon’s grandfather came, it would be eaten unconditionally.
“Gregory… you really…”
and
“He’s the craziest demon I’ve ever seen.”
My expectations matched nicely.
“good night! Gregory Jones! You, the Grand Duke of the Demon Realm and the ruler of all the subterranean world!”
Paimon reached out to me, and her eyes were already colored with excitement.
“The contract has been established!”
As soon as I held her hand, the scenery around me changed.
The surroundings reminiscent of an antique castle and the bright red sky seen through the window.
At a glance, I could guess that this place was the Demon World.
“… … Is it possible to come to a place called Demon World so easily?”
Hearing my words, Paimon smiled and raised his head.
“It is this body. Fortunately, your strength is greatly limited, so it wasn’t difficult.”
And he handed me a pitch black bead.
“If we break this marble, we will return to the space where we were sitting. So, what were you planning to do when you came all the way to the Demon Realm like this?”
“You are asking something obvious. I intend to stop by my territory for a while. Could you lend me a horse?”
“It is not difficult.”
Snap your fingers and boom! A skeleton horse appeared with a shout.
Paimon said while stroking the Skeleton Horse’s head.
“He’s the guy I love. He’s the one who crosses the end of the Demon Realm in one day. Let me lend you this guy.”
“Thank you, but I’m going to go straight to Middle-earth instead of coming back here, so please be a normal guy.”
Paimon laughed at my words. She gave me the horse’s reins and said.
“Don’t worry, he’s a smart guy who comes back on his own.”
After hearing her words, I naturally got on top of the Skeleton Horse. Then an alarm window pops up in front of you.
Riding skill is activated due to [Attribute: Noble].
It’s convenient.
“Gregory Jones. Don’t forget our deal.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to your one request. Of course, I will think about whether or not to do it.”
The Skeleton Horse began to run at the same time as spitting into the Skeleton Horse’s ribs with its foot.
The skeleton horse jumped out of the castle through the open window and ran away from Paimon’s castle in an instant.
“As expected, it’s an SR rank.”
Although it looked like a normal skeleton horse, it was actually a useful guy called [SR: Nightmare].
As expected, he rides on a precious guy like a devil of ninth rank.
Had it been so long that two hours had passed?
“Hi-yi-ing!”
The Nightmare howled. It seemed to inform them that they had arrived at their destination.
In the distance, a black castle began to appear.
If there was a demon king’s castle that would appear in a fantasy manga, would it look like that?
Landing in front of the castle gate, the guy made a few purring noises and then flew back into the sky and disappeared.
“The fact that he left me here means that I am the owner of this castle.”
And, as if my guess was right, the gates opened so easily.
As I moved my steps and entered the castle, I saw creatures lined up in a row.
Crickets, praying mantises, rhinoceros beetles.
A landscape where numerous insects are lined up on both sides of the gate, as if they had come to an insect fair.
In the middle of them, I saw a white spider with its hands folded and its head bowed.
The lower body is a spider, but the upper body is human.
“Queen of all spiders. Arachne Sylvie.”
When I called her name, all insects fell to their knees.
Arachne Sylvie slowly raised her head. She looked at me with pitiful eyes and slowly opened her mouth.
“I was waiting. … … You are our King.”
Apparently, these guys were all my subordinates.
Then the story will speed up.
“Bring all the magic stones and prism stones right now.”
“… … yes?”
“right now.”
“Ah, yes!”
Isn’t everything here mine anyway?
It is a time of rapid growth.
* * *
Returning to my physically comfortable cockroach form, I was absorbing the magic stones and prism stones that my servants kept bringing.
“hmm… … It’s not enough.”
“There are still many, so please eat slowly.”
Arachne stands next to me and continues to look at me. Cockroach Pom’s vision was greatly developed, so he could see the entire 360 degrees.
“Why aren’t you asking anything?”
“yes?”
clap clap. Continuing to chew on the Prism Stone and the magic stone, he spoke to Arachne.
“After leaving the territory without saying anything, he came back in a weakened state and is asking for Prism Stones and Magic Stones. But you don’t ask anything.”
Hearing my words, Arachne grinned.
“That’s because it’s Gregory-sama.”
“hmm?”
She continued with a smile.
“Because what Gregory is doing can’t be wrong. I just wish you all the best and cheer you on.”
… … How could such a creature exist?
I felt goosebumps running through my mind, probably because I had only met young people with broken personalities so far.

Got goosebumps in your mind?
At the same time as I thought about it, light began to well up from my whole body.
And a notification window pops up in front of you.
[The Grand Duke of Pandemonium, Gregory Jones]
[★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆]
It was a window announcing that the grade had gone up one notch.
As I looked around my body, the changed points began to stand out one by one.
Even harder uppers, sharper thorns on the legs, and even more sensitive senses.
It’s only a one-star rise, but I never thought it would be this much.
“Congratulations on your growth.”
Arachne, who saw the rank increase in real time, leaned down and congratulated her.
“Arachne.”
“Yes, Mr. Gregory.”
“Don’t put it simply. He’s lost his memory now. The reason why the demons do not know me and the situation of my past and present territory are implied and put in the succession seat.”
“yes. I will be ready soon.”
Even though Arachne was told that she had lost her memory, Arachne immediately carried out her orders without panicking.
Certainly, he looked like a devil who managed the territory while he was away.
“As long as you take the succession seat, your business is over.”
succession stone. As the name suggests, it was an artifact used to inherit something.
In the game, it was used to inherit the experience of other characters or to transfer user information, but it also played a role like a USB to transfer information in the setting.
And when I saw Arachne’s attitude in accepting my request, it seems that her performance is still the same in this world.
Not long after, Arachne handed me the succession stone containing the information.
“Good work.”
“no. By the way, Mr. Gregory.”
“hmm? Why?”
Arachne looked at me as I got up from my seat. Arachne’s face was full of sadness.
“Are you going to die right away?”
The person who said that seemed to be trying to hide it, but it was not difficult to notice now that the senses have been expanded with wheel foam.
“Yeah, I just stopped by for a while.”
For smooth development in the future, my past, information, and grade-up were indispensable issues.
And the quick way to solve this was to return to my territory.
“… … Again, I will be waiting for you to come back.”
I nodded and answered.
“Yeah, it won’t take long. I’ll try to stay a little longer next time I come.”
There are still so many things to eat here, but if you come just once, that’s an asshole.
It was even necessary to bring Rosé as the Pandemonium is a land overflowing with hidden elements.
“yes. If so, we’ll wait. Just like it always has been.”
The sight of it makes me smile.
“Okay, next time I’ll bring my summoner with me.”
After a short farewell, the surrounding scenery began to change when he broke the marble he received from Paimon.
The space gradually collapsed, and before long, what appeared was a familiar alcove.
“oh. So, did you have a good trip to the territory?”
“Thanks to. thanks.”
Hearing my words, Paimon’s eyes widened.
“hahahaha! To hear that I am grateful to Gregory Jones of the world! This is it, this is an honor.”
Paimon, who had been laughing, stopped laughing and approached me.
one step. one step. It wasn’t until we got so close that we could feel our breath, and then Paimon stopped and stared into my eyes.
“First of all, I’m a devil, so I can roughly see your appearance… … Did you get stronger in that short amount of time?”
“Yeah, things went well.”
“Is that so? If that’s the case, I’m glad.”
Then, Paimon returns to his original seat and sits down.
“If you’ve finished your business, go soon. We have new guests to receive.”
Paimon waving his hand. What he looks like is a cute little boy, but he is an old man who is as good as his behavior.
“Okay, come back later.”
After saying that, I left the store.
From the time the sun has risen, the time that has passed so far is about 6 hours. It seemed like it would be close to Dalian, the 6th period.
“I can’t help it. transform.”
I can feel the eyes of the people around me focusing on me as my body shines brightly.
And soon, the whole street started to be engulfed in screams.
“Me-what is that!”
“Kyaahhhhh !!!
“stomach trouble! Call the guards!”
“Every devil! A true devil has manifested!!!!”
Women faint at the sight of me, and men run away in fright.
It evolved into a 2-star, and it seemed that the already ugly appearance looked even more ugly.
“I have no time to play with you.”
I leaned forward and started running as hard as I could toward the academy on three pairs of legs.
“Girl, he’s coming!”
“Don’t come! Don’t come! Don’t come! Don’t come!”
“aaa!!!!!”
Even so, these guys couldn’t even attack. As I was ignoring it and speeding along the road, I felt a sense of urgency for some reason.
I wondered if something had happened to Rose.
“I’ll be late just walking.”
────!!!
As they flew toward the academy with even bigger and more beautiful wings flapping, people who passed out while urinating began to appear one after another.
No, does it make sense that I’m not some kind of Cthulhu and pass out just by looking at it.
Well, it doesn’t seem like such a bad thing for a body that enjoys fear.
I could actually feel the experience points accumulating.
“To be able to return while accumulating experience points kills two birds with one stone.”
I didn’t know at this time.
To think that after that, a legend would arise in Sumonia that a monster created by mixing all the disgusting things in the world roams the streets and pollutes the human spirit.
