NOVEL NEXT chapter 108
108 – Master (2)
“I can’t see anything…”
She suffered as she swallowed the cold air.
It was said that if she truly remained here alone, she would in fact die.
I just couldn’t handle it.
I wanted to lose my mind right away and collapse on the spot.
She lost both eyes, and even the person she had to depend on mentally was sealed away.
“So anyone please…”
cry out earnestly
Even after she said that, she couldn’t guarantee who her earnestness would reach.
This is a desolate snowfield, and it is a place where no one passes.

Just- just-
teeth collide
The body, unable to withstand the cold, gradually responds.
have to go somewhere
A place to hide and get warmth.
But where?
and how to go
In the midst of such anxiety, there was someone who brushed off the snow piled up on top of his head.
Vero was taken aback and surprised, but he knew who it was.
called his name earnestly.
**
“Argal!”
“sorry.”
Looking at her missing eyes from so close, I feel my heart hurt even more.
Is there any way to compensate her for the irretrievable loss?
It wasn’t difficult to come out of the seal.
Before returning, he was sealed several times as an immortal, but how many times did he come out of there?
The contract with the Great Devil is not over yet, so he came out of the seal freely.
It’s just that the demon king shouldn’t be aware of this easily, so she came out of the seal after she completely left.
Thanks to that, I left Vero out in the cold for a long time.
Shaking the snow off her head, I do the best I can.
It warmed the cold body warmly and stabilized Vero as much as possible.
“Oh, are you okay?”
“Who cares about whom.”
Vero was still worried about me.
Of course it deserves it.
After risking everything to fight the demon lord, I’m almost pushed to my limit.
I was standing like this because the contract of the archevil was not over yet, but the glove is now starting to retrieve my life.
If the contract were to end at this rate, he would fall into a suzerain repeating death almost infinitely.
…How should I do this.
Even if it left a fatal scar on the demon king’s one eye, it felt like there wasn’t much to be gained.
Besides, even the dagger I threw was still taken by the Demon King.
Right now, I am a really helpless, incompetent human being.
Even the circle was not broken, so I had to break through the northern part and cross the border with only the base of the star.
Amplification to overcome the almost non-existent amount of mana cannot be done for a long time.
At regular intervals, the gloves took my life, and then the mana of the source of the star I was collecting is reset.
So, like now, I can only use mana to warm Vero.
If I encounter even a monster, I won’t be able to find a way to overcome it.
Do I have to fight with a sword?
He sighed and touched the bandages covering Vero’s eyes.
There are many problems, but the biggest concern is her eyes.
There won’t be any way to revive it, but I’ll try to find it as much as I can.
“I’ll definitely give you my eyes back.”
“That, you don’t have to do that. It’s my fault for being captured by the demon king…”

Just in case, Vero seemed to think that he was caught and caused a nuisance.
Laughter came out.
It’s a situation where you have no choice but to be caught, but that’s a nuisance.
Holding Vero’s hand, I moved on.
It is to guide the blind woman.
“No, it’s my fault. You were in a situation where you had no choice but to be caught by the demon lord, and since you proceeded with the work without considering that, a disaster occurred. Besides, even in that situation, you were greedy to harm the demon lord… I’d rather save you completely. If I had moved, the results would have been better.”
Hearing that, Vero shook his head.
“No. Aren’t you in a position where you don’t have to worry about me? It’s a world where you’re treated like a slave and thoroughly abandoned. But Argal-sama opened the way for me to escape, and in the end, I don’t know what he did, but the demon king left me alone. If you save your life and lose two eyes in exchange, I’m satisfied.”
“…Don’t look at yourself too low.”
The more I say that, the more my heart aches.
In a way, she might be right.
Since I was born an aristocrat, I, who had lived my whole life in the position of an unyielding ruler, ironically understood her situation.
Because he was captured by Gaudium and lived a life of slavery.
They are unaware of a life that was swayed by others and thoroughly trampled on.
I nodded and emphasized again.
“I don’t just look at you as a servant. I intend to treat you as a person with a relationship. And since I have sinned against you, I will do any favors.”
“Then please hold my hand.”
To my words, she gave an unexpected answer.
Is all you want is to hold hands?
Even now, in the yard that catches.
“…I can’t see anything, so I’m very anxious if I can’t hold someone’s hand.”
“Then I’ll catch you anytime.”
Nod.
For the sake of her who became blind overnight, he moves forward again.
The endless snowy mountains were harsh on me, who had become almost incompetent.
I had an unbreakable will.
He had the ability to sense demons.
Not far away, I realize that there is a place where demons have gathered.
I’ll go there, take a break, even for a little while, and get my bearings.
I don’t know if they will welcome us though.
**
The demons had a very ambiguous situation.
Those monsters who are neither demons nor human beings.
Every time, like bats, they attach themselves to demons, or they are seeds that attach to mankind.
Even so, the demons did not unite with each other.
In the history of the long conflict between the demon king and mankind, the demons did not necessarily flock to one side and lined up, but even a small number of people lined up.
The reasons are various.
A demon who has lived in the human realm for a long time, or a family that has historically been loyal to the demon king’s army.
If there is a problem, depending on the political situation, the demons who took the wrong side will die.
The Demon King’s army poured overwhelming monsters and swallowed most of the northern part of the kingdom.
And the demons living in the northern part of the kingdom also entered the territory of the demon king’s army.
Originally, since they were demons living in the human realm, it was normal to be annihilated, but the demon king especially let them go.
Even so, it was not accepted into the demon realm.
The demons continued to live there as gray molecules.
However, monsters continuously poured out from the demon castle, and those monsters destroyed the northern part where the demons lived.
Wild animals that could be hunted and eaten were annihilated, and the northern part covered in blood from the deaths of humans and monsters became a barren land where no one could live.
In this situation, the kingdom’s hostility toward the Demon King’s army was too strong to cross the border of mankind.
In the midst of the pouring of monsters, if the devil sneaks in, would you treat them as invading enemies or consider them refugees entering the territory of mankind because it is difficult to live?
Broogle, who was no different from the party in this situation, was facing a truly cold snowfield.
“Today too… is the food insufficient?”
Bourogle was treated as the leader of this small group of demons.
That was understandable, because he was the strongest of the demons, and contributed a lot by waking up early every day to patrol or looking for food, and he also had a sense of responsibility.
He was willing to assume the position of captain, and was concerned about the future of the demons belonging to this group.
Since there is not enough food to eat tomorrow, I wondered if I should go out to the snowfield where the heavy snow was pouring right away and pick up the carcasses of wild animals.
Meanwhile, something caught his eye.
A small figure visible from afar.
And a familiar vibe.
He hurriedly ran out of the cave.
There, two young demons were being attacked by monsters.
-Keee
“Keugh!”
Black hair, black eyes.
Seeing that both of them had black hair and black eyes and had a strong scent of demons, Broogle, recognizing them as demons, decided to save them.
He bravely raised a huge double-edged ax and split the monster’s head.
Kwajik!
Bourogle, feeling proud of having saved two demons who were about to die, approached them with a friendly gaze.
At a time like this, it wasn’t unusual for a young Mine to wander the North.
This is because there are often cases where the residence is destroyed, and the surviving Mine are looking for a place to live.
Most of them die after not being able to overcome the cold, but there are also demons who get this kind of luck.
As he approached, Brogl’s face darkened.
Even though the monster’s attack left a scar and the monster split in two, the boy who remained calm and the blind girl holding her hand tightly behind him broke the hearts of anyone who saw them.
“Um… you must have had a lot of trouble, would you like to come into our residence?”
It was very natural that these words came out right away.
