My Wife Is the Devil

33 – Evil Plan – Failure

‘Dad. I’m back, I’m Leilia, daddy’s cute daughter, hehehehe.’

‘…Shut up, devil! How dare you, how dare you molest my daughter’s body!’

A corner of a dark alley without a single ray of light.

The poor, frightened girl curled up her small body and trembled.

Looking at the face of the girl, who was sweating coldly as if she was in pain, the black and red blood vessels twisted by her demonic energy caught her eye.

‘Plague Crow’, a demon paired with the lesser demon ‘Wanderer’s Destruction’.

She took on the body of the daughter of the foolish butler, Parton, and was unable to do anything about the current situation.

The nameless magic sword that has stabbed and killed so many people swallows up even the small amount of light coming into the alley, filling only a gloomy atmosphere.

‘Emily Lidina’.

She went around stabbing priests to death without knowing how scary the world was, and to be honest, she looked down on priests.

Burning down an entire underworld with a single stomp, stopping time with just a snap of her fingers, wiping out an army with a single blow, and even rumors of a priestess coming back from the dead.

She thought she was just bluffing, like a cornered rat trying to inflate herself.

But that thought was a huge misunderstanding.

The ‘real’ priests of Telmere I actually met couldn’t even touch the bodies of low-level demons, and even I, who imitated high-ranking demons by eating countless people, was nothing in front of the priestess who received heaven’s blessings. I couldn’t do it.

‘They say that Parton has been captured. Still, you’re my father, so why don’t you go rescue him?’

A great man who gave a chance to himself, who had no confidence in winning even a bet with humans, so he lived by eating corpses infected with the plague.

‘Squishy Desire’ clumsily imitated the woman’s face and sarcastically moved it around to the young devil standing in front of it.

Her high-ranking demon, who was looking at her in a state of contemplation, not smiling like she usually did, let out a faint sigh like her human counterpart, and placed her finger between the younger demon’s eyebrows. I touched it.

‘Emily Lidina? Julius Tapnel? Yeah, they’re great guys. Unless you’re a demon worthy of the Emperor’s Nightmare, you’re certain to die. No, even if I go, if I fight head-on, I will be hit with a single blow.’

‘Still, didn’t you make a contract with me? Who saved me from being caught by the cult and dying as a ragtag devil? It’s me. ‘It was I who gave you strength when you were weak, and it was thanks to me that you were able to pretend to be the daughter of that butler Naburangi.’

If you borrowed something like that, wouldn’t you have to pay the price too?

‘Ha, but…’

‘The plan is as planned. No, it will be implemented one day earlier.’

‘If that happens, I will die. ‘Since Parton has already been caught, he probably knows everything.’

‘I think I’m mistaken, but this plan is just a decoy.’

The real target is not that big snake, but Julius Tapnel. The goal is to become the strongest man on earth.

‘You just need to give him a little time to talk to Julius, you can do that, right?’

‘… ….’

‘Yes, as the daughter of Parton, you are a dutiful daughter who goes to save her father.’

A hand made of black, squishy mud gently comes up to the girl’s shoulder.

‘It may be a lie, but since it comes from the mouth of the devil, it is the truth.’

Go and save your father.

A gentle sound of laughter rings out, and the saint’s representative, who was laughing at the young devil, is released into the air like a phantom and disappears.

A devil girl left alone in a dark alley.

No, Leilia Tonant.

The girl who had fallen to the plague two years ago along with Liliana Aran gritted her teeth and strengthened her resolve to face her second death.

***

“Gagging, coughing, coughing….”

-Shaaah

The girl fell to the floor and twisted her small body, feeling like her whole body was on fire.

The thick rain pouring down on Aran, the city of water, hits her delicate body, as if drenching her world.

A plague crow that lets out a painful groan every time a raindrop touches its body.

When I looked at it closely, surprisingly, every time a raindrop touched the body, a pure white flame burned the devil’s body.

A miracle wrought by Rom’s adopted daughter.

[Rain ritual] Implemented through the power of a high-ranking priest.

It is a simple sacred spell that reverses the spell that summons dark clouds that heretics use when they are fully prepared to make it rain.

However, there was a woman who used the spell to make it rain and turned all the pouring rain into holy water with the ‘power of the flow’ and burned the evil-doing demons to death. Saint Erman said, “The great man who receives God’s love in one body.” Ja’s adopted daughter, ‘Immortal Emily’.

What is dimly reflected in the eyes that are burning as the rain flows in are beautiful eyes shining in purple.

Even the pouring rain cannot help but feel the brilliance of the divine beast of legend. Her unicorn, penetrating her evil spirit, stands majestically beside her as if to guard her.

The residents of Aran, who had been led by controlling their minds with the power they received from high-ranking demons, had long since come to their senses and fled under the pouring baptism of holy water.

As I treacherously hold on to my slowly fading miserable life, the crow chirps softly.

“… It’s flat. “It’s not fair, it’s not fair!”

He was born as an evil person, and even the body he managed to get by barely surviving was like a sick body infected with a plague.

God loves everyone equally? Don’t be funny.

Look at that silver-haired woman standing proudly with Yeongju Castle behind her.

Is it fair while receiving unrivaled favor, even death?

Look at the beautiful body, the s*xual power that can bring the world to its knees, and the ridiculous absurdity of avoiding even the death that comes to everyone.

“… I wasn’t born like this because I wanted to be.”

If I had the choice, I wouldn’t have become the devil.

Raindrops with heavenly majesty continue to fall on the tiny girl’s body.

Even though the rain fell so hard, the flame that burned her girlish body would never go out, and no one sympathized with her.

The last moments of her life.

Someone’s image passes through the eyes of a crow that has been freed from the fate of a scavenger.

He was the plague doctor, Parton, whom he always mocked by imitating his daughter.

Recalling the man who missed his dead daughter, the miserable devil utters his last words.

“… It’s because of you, I lost because I’m the daughter of a guy like you.”

If I had a bigger body, it would have been different.

The ugly loser’s cries were not heard by anyone.

A city immersed in silence.

What you hear is only the magnificent hymn of nature that saturates the earth.

The vile devil’s evil plan collapsed like that.

***

“Okay, is it over?”

“Have you done it?”

Words that should never be uttered when dealing with heretics and demons.

Emily glared nervously at the clueless knight who was spewing out unlucky words full of negativity.

“Why don’t you just hold a ancestral rite for him to survive?”

“I’m sorry.”

After receiving the full effect of the education he received for his lunch, he buried his head in the ground and reflected on his mistake.

Rain that was completely transformed into holy water by the power of flow.

Feeling the heavenly energy healing all ‘broken things’ except evil under the wide sky, the woman with purple eyes quietly commanded the divine beast next to her.

“Make sure the body was burned properly. Although it wasn’t a high-ranking devil, it was an unusual devil.”

-Puh hee hing

Francis, who wore a small tulle as if he was bothered, walked briskly, showing off his stylish mane.

“Check it out quickly! “Julius won’t rest until the situation is over!”

Emily, who had never imagined in her wildest dreams playing cards inside the lord’s castle, shouted at the foolish pervert Shinsoo, and only then Francis worked hard on his feet and approached the corpse of the demon girl.

A corpse completely charred by holy flames.

Francis narrowed his eyes and checked this, then waved his tail towards his owner to signal that he was okay.

And at that moment, an ‘echo’ rang out.

-Sleep.

The voice of the devil that shakes the body.

Francis felt the powerful demonic energy permeating his body and quickly turned his body and ran towards his master.

Emily stumbles after being suddenly struck by a high-ranking devil’s spell.

When Francis saw this, the pure white horn on his head emitted an intense glow.

In response to the energy of the glowing light, the piece of divine beast horn in her hand also spread magical energy, and as the demonic energy receded, the priestess barely regained her sanity.

As soon as she came to her senses, Emily rolled her purple eyes and hurriedly looked at the place where the body was, but the situation was already over.

“… What is it? “What just happened?”

There was only a small tree branch lying where the body of Leilia Tonant, the butler’s daughter, was.

This is my first time seeing a black tree branch.

The magical energy still echoes from the black tree branches that seem as if they will not collapse.

“… Could it be another high-ranking devil…”

A cloudy aura that can be said to be similar to what I saw from Cecil.

After looking for a moment at the spot where the body had been burned by her holy water, Emily turned her head behind her.

The knights and soldiers were all defeated by the high-ranking devil’s spell.

Feeling her head hurt, she brushed her hair behind her and started running towards the lord’s castle.

As always, a sudden feeling.

I don’t know what the situation was, but somehow it felt like it had to be that way.

***

-Knock knock

Aran’s lordly castle boasts such harmony and beauty that it would be a shame to be second only to the kingdom of Lyriam.

A man is writhing in pain inside a dungeon hidden in a canal flowing underneath.

“Gow, gag. “Huh, huh…”

A man who led the ‘Ascension’ plan in Aran while wearing a plague mask and hiding his identity.

Deacon Parton, who was Rotani Aran’s closest associate, was lying sprawled on the floor with even his proud mustache burned.

He, who had been engaging in heresy while hiding his identity, was arrested on the spot after his identity was discovered by Emily’s power, and he was tortured by Julius, the kingdom’s greatest heresy inquisitor, so that he could barely maintain his sanity.

“… What a ridiculous group of people.”

Doesn’t it turn blood into holy water and cause the pain of boiling alive? Doesn’t it unleash a mysterious golden flame that burns only the mind, not the body?

He smiled slightly as if he was dumbfounded by the majesty of those who received heaven’s favor.

“I’m sorry. Count Rotani. But please forgive me for having to do this.”

He didn’t do this with evil plans from the beginning.

When the plague spread and the devil first appeared in front of Paton, who lost his daughter, he tried to burn his daughter’s body as a believer in Telmere.

Her. No, until ‘it’ appears.

‘Why don’t you make a deal with me instead of that scum? If you do what I ask, I can give you a real, living daughter.’

The devil cannot tell lies.

The words that came out of the mouth of the monster who only spoke the truth were so sweet that Parton had no choice but to nod his head at the words of the black lump of clay.

‘Oh, hello. Parton, it’s been a while.’

And not long after, just as the high-ranking devil had warned, the Countess, who had rotted alive and died from the plague two years ago, came back alive.

Just as it was when I first came to the count’s residence.

Faton couldn’t help but smile at that sight.

It is said that with the power of a high-ranking devil, his daughter can indeed come back alive.

So I followed her plan.

Even though the work was extremely evil and would drive a nail into the heart of his master, he silently continued the work.

The demon disguised as my daughter steadily grew in power by devouring humans, and everything proceeded smoothly in the dark.

“… It all got ruined with just one gesture from the priest…”

He was smart, and the devil’s plan was perfect.

Just one. The absurdity of fate that he cannot do anything about.

It only failed because the destination chosen by the high-ranking devil, Cecil Lionelta, was Aran by chance.

Feeling the chill rising from the cold stone floor, Parton curled up his body.

‘Dad! Look at this? Cool! ‘I’m going to become a really cool priest like Emily in the capital.’

‘Why are you trying to imitate Emily in such a vicious way…?’

Before the plague spread, she could see her daughter’s face smiling brightly at her in her priest’s clothes.

Raylia, if only I could see that child smiling one more time…

“… Dad, wake up quickly.”

We have to run away from here.

It wasn’t a voice that couldn’t be heard.

Because the scum-like devil who stole her daughter’s body always mocked her with that voice.

After realizing that everything was over, Parton did not move his body and just lay still in the dungeon.

An anxious voice is heard in his ears again.

“I don’t have time to stay like this! Priest Emily, who receives revelations, will come here soon. “We have to run now!”

“… Who are you?”

It was not the tone of a devil mocking himself like usual.

Leilia’s voice that you can’t forget even in your dreams.

Slowly she raises her head and looks out the dark iron window.

The blood vessels distorted by the magic energy are nowhere to be seen, and Raylia can be seen just as she did long ago, neatly dressed in her priestly clothes and smiling brightly at herself.

No, unlike back then, her eyes exuded a cloudy aura.

“I am Leilia Tonant, her father’s only daughter.”

And it is a small ‘Echo’ demon that rules the Black Forest.

Spreading a mysterious black energy, the small ‘echo’ that passed away in Cecile’s hand stretched out her hand towards Ethan.

“This is a small bet. “A fun game you and I have.”

I will get you out of here. So you teach me what human life is that fills the void.

The underground water that had been flowing quietly in front of the prison begins to pulsate, emitting white light.

Leaving behind the celestial brilliance that radiates blazing heat and explosive holy power, the true devil reaches out his hand.

“So come on and hold my hand, Dad.”

Baptism of holy water pouring out.

As he looked at the spears made of holy water rising up from behind his daughter, Parton instinctively grabbed her small hand.

“Is it there!”

Purple eyes emit a burning light,

The priestess shouts as she breaks through the entire upper part of the dungeon.

For a split second, two women facing each other.

The little girl smiled as she looked at the legendary priest she respected.

-Let’s meet again next time. Priest Emily.

“You can’t stand there!”

The flame that rose from Emily’s hand stretched out like a woman’s hand and tried to catch her demon, but the owner of the black forest was one step faster.

With a resounding energy, the devil and the heretic disappeared as if they were melting into thin air.

The dungeon that was turned into a mess by Emily was filled with only the smell of grass mixed with the scent of burning ashes.

“… I missed it again. “I missed it again!!!!”

Really annoying!

A priestess who couldn’t stand it anymore and was tearing out her silky silver hair.

“Is something going on?”

After the card game, Cecil’s dumbfounded voice is heard, having finally won the wish ticket.

When I raised my head, what tickled my eyes was the faint light slowly seeping in from outside the half-destroyed dungeon.

“Huh? “The sun has risen already?”

At some point, the gloomy dark clouds hid themselves as if they had never happened before, and the sun, illuminating the deep blue night sky, slowly rose from the eastern sky.

Aran, the city of water.

An evil plan took place there.

Thanks to the outstanding performance of Emily, a retired priest, the Countess was able to face the next day safely.

“There is something you need to know. “Saint Erman’s plan.”

Although it did not prevent another plan hidden behind it.
