I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party - I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party chapter 137

137 – Demon World (3)

Demon World (3)

Between the demon world and the human world.

There was a clearly drawn line between them.

Sacred relics installed to prevent the contamination of the land, which has become a hell-like environment due to the influence of hell.

Those objects, placed at regular intervals, were preventing the spread of contamination.

“It’s surprising that the demons saw this and left it alone.”

The demons burst out of the demon world and attack the human world.

On the other hand, it is difficult to attack the demon world from the human world.

Because of the harsh environment, it is difficult for humans to adapt to the Demon World. That is why it is impossible to send a large army, and that is why a small elite force called a warrior party is needed.

“It’s only natural, considering their purpose in invading the human world.”

Esmeralda’s question was answered by Irina, who was pulling Jim’s leash.

She had been the most active in the fortress city, and had been given the honor of leading the pack for the time being.

“What if we rush out to occupy unpolluted land and end up polluting it as well?”

In the first place, you can’t even approach the border area unless you’re from the legion.

Because if the relic is destroyed by some unforeseen event, both sides will be in trouble. It is the only thing that connects the two groups competing for survival.

It’s a common goal.

“Anyway, this is the Demon World, right? Looking closely, the ground seems a bit darker… … .”

“It’s because the land is actually permeated with magic. It’s like poison.”

Irina reached across the line drawn between the relics and grabbed a piece of dirt. She saw the crumbled dirt steaming and purifying on her hand.

“Are you ready?”

“huh.”

Esmeralda answered Irina’s question, and the warrior party immediately crossed the line and entered the Demon Realm.

***

“The air here is dirty.”

At Esmeralda’s shocking remark, the extra who was a native of ‘this place’ looked at her with astonishment. But what could he do? All he could do was grumble and look at her.

“People live in a place like this too.”

Milia said, covering her mouth with her sleeve.

“Still, it’s a suitable place for those fucking demons to live.”

And Irina puts the finishing touches.

At those words, not only the extras but also Garnet and Jim turned to look at her, but they couldn’t help but back down in front of her gentle yet solemn smile. Isn’t that right?

She should have been on a smooth path with the title of saint thanks to the collaboration between the former Pope and the modern Demon King, but she ended up becoming the head of a church that was on the verge of collapse.

Since she had never hidden her hatred for demons, this reaction was not strange.

“… … .”

The three demons turned their gaze away from Irina and looked for their next target.

A person who is a member of the same warrior party but has not opened his mouth yet.

It was Tina.

“Uh, why?”

Tina didn’t know why attention was suddenly drawn to her. She was simply curious about the Demon World environment, and didn’t harbor any ill will like the other party members.

From noble mtl dot nete

“What? Do you have something to say?”

Esmeralda, Tina’s lover, noticed the gaze and asked while blocking the way between the three people and Tina.

Obvious pressure. Garnet snorted, but Jim and the extras couldn’t help but turn their heads naturally.

“… … No, there isn’t. I’ll just show you the way.”

The extra felt uncomfortable with the warrior’s gaze for a while, then looked at the luggage tied up on the leash with pity before starting to guide the way.

I feel this once again, but I had a hard time among those crazy women.

***

The place the extras guided us to was a town in such a miserable state that it could be compared to an empire’s slums.

There were piles of fallen demons on the street, and no children were visible. Anyone who saw them would have thought they had been attacked.

“So this is the Demon World… … . That’s why it’s like this… … .”

Esmeralda finally realized why the demons were trying to invade the human world. There was nothing to see on the streets until they reached the first town.

Not even the common weeds grow on the ground, and the only animals roaming nearby are monsters carrying poison and magic.

Then how do the demons live?

If you don’t have any crops or livestock to raise, what on earth are you going to eat to live?

The answer was simple.

“I had to go to war to survive… … I knew it in my head, but seeing it with my own eyes made it clear… … .”

The preconditions were wrong.

‘How should we live?’ They were dying, it’s ridiculous.

Corpses left on the streets. The surviving demons don’t care.

You might expect them to be wary of outsiders, but the wandering demons are just minding their own business.

The Demon Race, a race that had no choice but to become ruthless in order to survive.

It was a moment when both their strength and their ferocity were understood.

“Don’t just stand there blankly. Come with me. There’s no point in standing there like that.”

“Ah yes.”

Esmeralda and the warrior party followed the extras on their way with the same indifferent attitude.

The place he led us to was one of the hideouts he had prepared while living there, but even that was in a state of almost ruins.

“Now, before we set off, we need to gather information. I’ll explain it to you in detail, so be careful not to cause any trouble and gather information accordingly.”

The current situation in the Demon World.

We need information to assess the situation, including how the news of Legion Commander Six’s death was relayed.

However, it is difficult to gather information in the Demon World where individualism is extremely strong.

Isn’t it absurd to ask about other people’s rumors to those who only care about their own safety to the point of not even naming the child they just gave birth to?

However, they do not live with their ears completely closed.

Yes, these are things they need to know and be aware of.

“When gathering information, it’s best to ask about the movements of the powerful as much as possible. Of course, this is assuming that the demons won’t just hand over information willingly.”

“You said it would be hard to get information from the naked eye, but what kind of gifts do demons usually like?”

“It’s simple.”

The extra grinned and showed his fist.

“life.”

“That’s barbaric.”

“That’s what demons are like, you know.”

The extras snickered and were the first to emerge from the hiding place.

The members of the warrior party who had been watching the scene began to leave one by one. It was time for each of them to gather as much information as they could.

That’s why we scattered.

“Shall we go, Mr. Jim?”

“Oh, yes… … .”

Irina, today’s luggage carrier, was able to lead the luggage by its leash.

A smile spread across her face, and Jim felt terrified.

***

Irina had a change of heart. After all, it was inevitable after seeing this tragedy with her own eyes.

She had always harbored a hatred for the demons, but now she could understand the reason to some extent.

Of course, even so, I cannot forgive the Demon King who brought down the Heavenly God.

Still, I began to have some doubts about directing that hatred towards the demons.

That’s why she was able to keep her hands busy even when gathering information.

“Then where is Legion Commander Third and what is he doing now?”

“I heard that you are locked up in the mansion with your second son.”

“okay.”

The demon who was suddenly caught by Irina felt a fear that could not be greater than this.

However, he was not beaten or threatened by Irina.

That was also the factor that changed Irina’s mind… … .

‘Hey, crazy b*tch… … .’

The sight of a priest dragging a demon by a leash around his neck was so creepy.

What kind of madness is this?

You’re dragging the demon around like it’s your pet.

What was even scarier was that the demons who were being dragged around like that didn’t seem to have any complaints.

‘Emotions… … have emotions been castrated! What a fearful… … !’

Thanks to this misunderstanding, which was not a misunderstanding, Irina’s information gathering was able to proceed faster than ever.

First of all, it meant that unlike Esmeralda, who starts by picking a fight and knocking others down, or Millia, who takes the initiative by displaying powerful magic, she was seen as a clear threat just by walking around.

“So what about the Force? What are you doing now?”

Irina started from the first and asked the commanders below her what they were doing.

Fortunately, the path from first to third was relatively clear and there seemed to be nothing to worry about right away.

What about the Force then?

Patchworkman, a high-ranking demon who is higher in rank than Garnet, and who Garnet says is a monster whose strength alone is unmatched.

As a monster who rose to the position of the Force with pure power alone, he is fearsome in a different way than other legion commanders we have met.

That’s understandable, as the warrior party has been able to win against much stronger opponents by exploiting their weaknesses.

But what if the only thing you need to be careful about is strength?

The special nature of his position was so noticeable that it was hard to believe that he could be dealt with in the same way as usual.

‘A monster that can compensate for both technical and weaknesses with just one force.’

That’s why Irina thought she had to avoid that monster.

If it’s a monster that destroys everything with just its strength, it might be even more difficult for a warrior party to deal with it with improvisation.

“That, Lord Force… … .”

While Irina was lost in thought for a moment, the hesitant demon spoke.

“They say he left to clear out Abaddon’s remnants.”

“… … .”

Irina suddenly looked back.

Extra, who has been in a serious mood ever since arriving in the village.

And the fact that he spread the word to the entire warrior party under the pretext of gathering information.

“Well, that’s what our party is like, you know.”

For some reason I was convinced that he had escaped.
