I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party - I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party chapter 159

159 – The Pursuit (4)

Chase (4)

A blow that seemed to twist and shatter space itself. Belphegor’s fists contained the power to destroy the world with each blow.

However, it is different. It is not the power of a celestial being that transcends space, but the power of Belphegor himself.

The moment he witnessed that power, Rapha could understand.

‘Is this why you were able to easily handle the power of the gods?’

Similar but different powers.

That’s why I was able to handle that huge power a little bit.

‘No, before that… … .’

It is so powerful that it can be dangerous if you get hit directly even once.

That’s why Rapha had no choice but to focus on evasion.

It was only natural that they had planned to buy time and attack Belphegor together with the warrior party and the celestial gods.

However, there was one question.

‘If you had wanted to, it would have been easy to kill me?’

Wouldn’t it be easy if you could simultaneously use the power of Belphegor, the Demon King who can overcome the limitations of space and destroy space?

This means that you can immediately launch an unavoidable fatal attack.

However, Belphegor did not do that. He only used his own abilities to push Rapha.

I feel puzzled by that appearance.

Belphegor must have noticed that he was trying to waste time. That was why Rapha was able to gain confidence.

“There are limitations.”

“… … .”

Belphegor was clearly able to wield the power of the celestials.

However, he never exercised that power again, except when he first brought her here.

She simply used the power she originally possessed. It was as if she had made the choice to go back the quick and easy way.

“Of course that’s to be expected. With that much power, there’s no way you can handle it completely. Especially if your original power was that much… … Yes, the more you use your power, the less your body can handle it. Right? Kid.”

“… … .”

Rapha, who realized that fact, could not help but laugh.

Of course, Belphegor is strong. Even if she hadn’t usurped the power of the Celestials, she would have been a good match.

However, Belphegor’s power alone is not enough.

Just as she could not overcome Jim, who was a celestial, Belphegor, who lacks the power of a celestial, cannot overcome her.

There is such a simple correlation.

“Then things will become easier.”

It was different from the correlation of power she had originally thought of.

It was her turn to benefit.

Of course, even so, I don’t think he’d kill Belphegor with his own hands. After all, sometimes a cornered mouse bites a cat.

However, there was no longer any reason to simply avoid attacks.

Because Rapha will be able to cut down Belphegor more thoroughly.

“I don’t really like the term ‘the will of the world will be determined by the will of the people,’ but yes. This should definitely be called ‘the will of the world will be determined by the will of the people.’”

The price of coveting power beyond one’s control.

The time has come to pay the price.

“You really… … .”

Black wings, horns, and even a tail.

Belphegor thought as he watched Rapha revealing the symbol of the dragon tribe.

“What a petty guy.”

As soon as he realized that he had the advantage, his attitude changed.

The cautious attitude he used to show was nowhere to be found, and only arrogance remained.

“Didn’t you know? Those negative aspects are what make me strong.”

The three poisons and the five desires and seven emotions.

All the emotions of wealth that humans are ashamed of and despise are the very foundation of her.

Just as the gods received faith and gained strength.

“Well, while I’m at it, I’ll ask your name. What’s your name?”

“Mara Papiyas. Think of me as your distant ancestor and senior.”

“Right.”

Belphegor tilted his head back with a listless expression, as if he was annoyed.

La Pa, no, Mara Papyas laughed even harder at the sight of her nodding off as if she was sleepy.

No matter how lazy you are, it’s not a matter of temperament that you can’t avoid feeling sleepy even during battle.

This too came at a price.

“Somehow, I thought it wouldn’t be strange if they invaded the human world a long time ago, but it turns out it wasn’t that they didn’t do it, but that they couldn’t do it?”

“Well, that’s right. Since you’re telling me everything, I’ll do the same.”

A side effect of Belphegor’s power.

And as can be guessed from Mara Papyrus’s words, there is a culprit.

The two people who had revealed their information to each other glared at each other again.

“You must have some confidence in something, that’s why you appeared in front of me like that.”

“Well? What do you think?”

“Then, for your sake, should I tell you one important piece of information?”

Belphegor rubbed his eyes as if trying to fight off sleepiness.

The sight was both funny and cute, so Mara Papiyas smiled happily… … .

“This is not a stage for a coward like you.”

The smile disappeared the moment Belphegor took his hands away from his eyes.

A broken body. Blue flames overflowing between them.

Mara Papiyas couldn’t help but understand Belphegor’s words, even though she didn’t like them, seeing how unstable he looked as if he might explode at any moment.

“Choose.”

Belphegor was convinced by a little conversation and action.

Mara Papiyas has no lofty ideals or beliefs.

She is cowardly, petty, hedonistic and self-centered.

That is why it is a different evil from hers, and that is why Belphegor was able to give an answer according to that tendency.

She may be stupid, but she thought harder than anyone else when it came to her answer.

“Will you die here with me, or will you run away like a coward?”

“… … .”

Yeah, let me be clear: Mara Papiyas isn’t prepared to risk her life.

Can you really think of buying time when you are faced with a bomb that could explode at any moment?

If she truly wants to save the world, then she could. No, she should.

Belphegor would self-destruct if he were to just stall for time.

But she doesn’t do that. The most important thing to her is pleasure and her own comfort.

“Yeah, I see you’re worried.”

Mara Papiyas was troubled.

At least there was room for that.

so that…….

“Then should I help you choose?”

Belphegor used his celestial powers to light the fuse.

A flame that spreads over the hand.

Accordingly, the blue flames began to shake unsteadily beyond the crack.

Mara Papiyas’ face turns pale at the sight of him putting his own life on the line.

“Are we all going to die together? Or are we going to escape alive?”

Legion Commander Eight could not help but feel horrified at the current situation, exposed to unprecedented violence.

“That crazy b*tch, by all means!”

The way she speaks makes you believe without a doubt that Garnet is crazy. And because she has such thoughts, you can’t help but be scared.

As Eight, he couldn’t stop Garnet. Now that he didn’t know what her purpose was. No, now that he couldn’t even think of anything that could be called a purpose, Eight had no choice but to be confused.

“She’s going to burn it all down! That crazy b*tch clearly came here to vent her anger without thinking about the consequences!”

A strong relationship of trust.

A disposition that is not without doubt.

Eight knows. If he continues like this, he will die.

Unless Garnet has some other motive, we will gradually burn down this area to find him.

How can you stand fighting a madman with so much time on your hands?

“Seven! Help me! Help! Help! Desperate help!”

Eight urgently called for help as the flames gradually approached.

He called in Seven, the corps commander who was deployed to block any possible variables in the rear.

“What?! What’s going on?! What on earth is going on that’s making such a fuss?”

At Eight’s scream, which was no different from a scream, a small child appeared from his shadow.

The child with a somewhat neutral appearance, who appeared through the shadows, glared at Eight with his ears covered as if it was noisy.

However, despite the discontented looks, Eight shouted in a fit of convulsion.

“Five, that crazy b*tch came all the way here and is running wild!”

“What? You’re running wild? What on earth is your purpose?”

“That b*tch has no purpose! It’s pointless to ask a crazy b*tch why she does something!”

“… … That’s true.”

Consistent statement.

Common thinking.

At this point, Jim’s trust could only be said to be accurate.

Of course, it was something he couldn’t understand because he was so angry at Garnet, but unfortunately, he didn’t have a chance to vent his anger.

“… … Okay, I understand. Please adjust it to a place where I can hide as easily as possible. Eight. I’ll do it.”

“Of course it should be like that!”

Legion Commanders Eight and Seven.

Those two were a being that shined even brighter when they were together.

It’s easy to create obstacles using spider webs to make it easier for the assassin Seven to hide, and it’s also easy to move them in real time to create a path for him to come back and hide again.

A labyrinth of spiderwebs and an assassin hiding within.

That alone was enough to warrant having two corps commanders in charge of the rear.

Esmeralda asked Steak, who was running beside her.

“Mr. Jim, it’s true. I really don’t think you have any idea that Garnet is planning something else.”

“Right? Look at me. Just looking at this, there’s no doubt that she’s a crazy b*tch.”

“I’m sure.”

Scathing gossip that happens when you’re not there.

Jim, who had a rare steak that was tender on the outside and juicy on the inside, seemed proud that his judgment was correct for some reason.

A situation where your trust has shown definite results. Compared to the joy, this level of pain is bearable.

“… … But can we get out of here before it all burns down?”

While Esmeralda was admiring Jim’s insight, Irina’s face was hardened.

The momentum of the fire is strong. If we are not careful, we will not be able to break through these places, but rather we will be isolated and burn together.

“That is a valid point, my lady. However, unfortunately, I must tell you the cruel truth.”

Jim said with a gloomy expression.

That was another certainty.

“Do you think a crazy b*tch can control something like that?”

thud!

At that moment, a charred ball of cobwebs fell among the party, isolating Jim and the warrior party from each other.

“And only those who have seen it up close can truly see the extent of its madness.”

The last moment.

From noble mtl dot nete

A time no one expected.

Jim decided to make one last escape.
