My Wife Is the Devil - My Wife Is the Devil chapter 132

132 – Contract

#Contract

‘The devil is a more wicked being than anyone else in the world. However, they are also fairer than anyone else in the world.’

…… In response to Julius’ question about how to control Cecil, Erman said this.

The devil is fairer than anyone else in the world.

‘It’s fair…’ ….’

‘If you do something, you must pay something. All contracts that the devil gives to humans follow this outline without exception.’

Therefore, the contract made by the devil will also be fairer than any other contract in the world.

Because even if the devil deceives others, he never tells a lie. Always keep what you promise.

‘…… ‘What do you want to say?’

Hearing Erman suddenly bring up the topic of [Contract], Julius’s frown narrowed.

To be honest, at this time, Julius could not understand Ehrman’s words at all.

Cecil.

When I asked him to tell me how to save his wife, who was becoming increasingly maniacal due to being swayed by his power, he suddenly started talking about the [Contract].

It was just absurd.

‘Even though time has passed and you have become a mature man, you are still… ….’

That’s foolish.

Erman clicked his tongue as he looked at Julius, who was still confused even after giving him the big hint of [Contract].

Apparently, this nasty wolf didn’t even know what he had shared with the devil.

‘Nirhil…… No, when Cecil came to you again. You would have made a bet with that boy.’

Was I wrong?

The saint’s sharp voice echoed in the angel’s nest, which had a dark feeling due to low lighting.

‘…… Yes, I definitely did.&Quot

[For exactly one year. For just one year, I seduce you and you resist. If you succeed in temptation, it is my victory, and if you withstand the temptation, it is your victory.]

The bet she proposed to Julius while she was not yet aware of the fact that she was Cecil.

Julius nodded, remembering the bet with the devil that he lost miserably right from the start.

‘But doesn’t Erman know? In the case of the devil’s bet, the winner or loser is already decided by the time the bet is thrown.’

The devil always wins the bet.

Because they always bet that they will win.

Julius continued speaking, mentioning well-known facts that every priest knows.

‘To my shame, I lost the bet with my wife. She completely subjugated me. I also willingly submitted to her.’

Cecil succeeded in seducing Julius again in just over two weeks, let alone a year, and Julius also willingly accepted.

It must have been a bet that ended like that.

The love between Julius and Cecil blossomed again and became stronger, probably causing it to become insignificant.

But here is Cecil’s madness, Cecil’s overflowing power that even takes away Julius’s strength.

There is a hidden way to control it.

It was obvious that Julius was quick-witted when it came to matters related to the devil, but this time, it was difficult to figure out the blind spot in the bet.

‘Certainly, that stupid bet between you and my daughter ended in your defeat. Now all that remains is the fact that a bet was made.’

‘… ….’

‘But. What if that bet really ended ‘normally’? If victory or defeat has been decided.’

Why didn’t you pay the price for defeat?

‘… ….’

…… Ah. At Erman’s words, a small sigh escaped Julius’ mouth.

‘Definitely.’

The devil is always fair.

If you do something, you always have to pay something.

That is the devil’s law.

Inquisitor Julius Tapnel clearly lost the bet with the Archdemon Cecil Lionelta.

So, the price for that defeat will definitely have to be paid.

However, Julius did not pay anything to Cecil.

At most, it’s a hug, a piggyback ride, or a kiss.

Or…… Something like a couple’s night out.

Everything Cecil demanded as the price for defeat was far from the ‘price’ demanded by the devil.

‘The price of defeat in a bet with the devil is the ‘submission’ of existence itself. This is something that not even the devil himself can arbitrarily change.’

The price of a bet is always the ‘submission’ of existence.

However, Julius did not submit to Cecil.

Even after the bet was over, he had refused numerous requests from Cecil.

And this was the clearest evidence that Julius did not submit to Cecil.

‘The bottom line is that your bet did not work out properly from the beginning. Since it was not a normal bet, the cost of losing was naturally not collected normally.’

It wasn’t a normal bet?

Then what on earth was the ‘thing’ that Cecile and herself shared?

‘Humans who are defeated by the devil are subordinate to that devil. This is the most important part of the devil’s [Wager].’

But.

If the devil himself who made the bet had already surrendered to the human even before making the bet.

If it is in a dependent state.

And if a human loses a bet made in such a state.

What will be the result of that bet?

‘… ….’

‘From the moment I mentioned the bet to you. No, long before I took it out. Cecil and Nirhil. I was already obsessed with you. Regardless of whether you remember or not, Cecil will always feel love for you.’

‘…… Then… ….’

‘Yes, Cecil was already subordinate to you by the time the bet started. And after the bet is over. ‘You became subordinate to Cecil as the price of defeat.’

The devil was subordinate to the Inquisitor, and the Inquisitor was subordinate to the demon.

An equal relationship that binds each other.

This is known in the world.

From Noble mtl dot com

‘Contract. ‘They called it that.’

The girl of someday also had sparkling blue eyes.

Ermann reminded Julius of his relationship with Cecil, which even Julius himself did not know about.

‘And you know. Those who make a contract with the devil are bound to be able to use the devil’s power.’

And he already is.

It also reminded me that I was no longer a pure priest.

‘Cecil borrowed “Gold” From you. So now, it’s your turn to borrow from Cecil.’

That child has it.

Great magic.

If you become too powerful and cannot control it. All you have to do is take that power away.

***

Growing.

The innermost part of the heart.

Where the essence of the divine flame resides.

A small amount of dark red magical energy with a power of a different order of magnitude rose up.

“… ….”

It was a power that was extremely unfamiliar to Julius, who had always dealt with only pure and pure divine power.

It was a force that went beyond unfamiliarity and even felt repulsive.

“…… “It’s magic.”

…… But why?

If you really want to deal with this, I think there is nothing you can’t handle.

Maybe I discovered an unexpected talent in an unexpected situation.

“…… “It’s not as bad as you think.”

I can sense the [Passage] That connects Cecil’s heart and my own heart, which is so small that you wouldn’t even notice it if you weren’t paying attention.

She seemed to be able to use magic now.

Of course, to be precise, I am only now realizing that I have been able to use it for a long time.

“…… Under.”

A faint laugh flowed from the mouth of Julius, who suddenly became a wizard with the title of Heretic Questioner.

“Huh? What? “Why are you suddenly laughing like a crazy person?”

At that insincere laugh.

Near Julius, Lionelta, who was examining the “Crack” Wearing some large glasses, looked back at him with a frown.

Currently.

Julius and Lionelta were investigating together the magical phenomenon “Crack” Spread by Arnhil on the slope of an unknown mountain.

“Oh my. “Has your married life been very difficult?”

Lionel Tha looked at Julius with her pitiful eyes, as if she had seen something pitiful.

“I can’t believe you’re already losing your mind at such a young age. Yes, it’s not too late. “Before it’s too late, break up with that crazy girl.”

As always.

It was a habit to say to break up with Cecil.

“I don’t like it.”

“Then why are you splitting it up, you rotten bastard?”

‘Why are you just laughing when the situation is so serious that you can’t help? Lionelta expresses ‘Is this crazy?’ In a very archaic and concise manner.

Julius shrugged his shoulders at the angel’s words, which were full of dignity even when they were swear words.

“I got a little fun toy. “I’m excited to play with it.”

“…… “Are you a kid?”

Lionelta’s eyebrows began to furrow and wrinkle at the absurd jokes of the Heretic Questioner, who was not good at telling jokes.

However, she soon let out a deep sigh and drooped her shoulders as if she had resigned herself.

“…… No, no. Basically, all men are like that. These guys have no intention of ever growing up even though they are getting older. “That must be a man.”

‘Men don’t grow up until they die.’

As the mother of a man, she already knew this painfully.

“That is a reasonable statement.”

“Shut up and help me. “Don’t just stand there and blink.”

As she was nodding her head with an arc drawn at the corner of her mouth, another curse word came from Lionel Ta.

I think we should stop playing with ‘toys’ before the angel’s dignity deteriorates any further.

Julius, who had been manipulating demonic energy with his hands without her knowing, walked towards Lionel with his back to her.

“Why can’t I see that rotten b*tch? “For a woman who claims to be a special Heresy Questioner, she is very cowardly.”

A vacant lot located halfway up a mountain.

As I stood alone in front of Lionelta, who was observing the ‘small crack’ in a corner, I heard the words of an angel looking for Enin, another special Heretic Questioner who should be here.

They say they are very scared.

If you think about what Enin is doing now, it was a bit funny.

“I agree with that. “It’s not that I was scared, but rather I was very fearless.”

I thought about it a little since it was a colleague I met again after a long time. Enin was crying and screaming, ‘Only me, only I’m being tormented!’

Julius continued, recalling the face of his former colleague, confused as to what was so sad about it.

“Fearless? Could it be that Enin is causing an accident right now?”

“‘Only me! I have nothing! Therefore! ‘I have to have something too!’ He shouted. He ran towards Tanahil who had been restrained with “Gold”. From what I can see, it looks like the intention is to tame the dragon.”

─Okay, now. Good, good. Cow, hand!

─Gaaa!

─Gaaa! Well, you did it wrong! Yo. This!

At that moment, the woman’s screams rang out along with the loud cries of the restrained dragon behind her.

He looked so clueless that I thought he might be Cecile’s friend.

Julius slowly approached the dragon while holding a thin branch in his hand, and glanced at Enin who was running away with a faint smile on his face.

“I thought only men were immature, but the same goes for women. Now, a priest is trying to tame a demon dragon.”

“Do you know? Will you really be able to tame the demon dragon? “If we succeed in taming the demon dragon, Enin will also have the power befitting a top-ranked Heretic Questioner, just like me and Krail.”

“Isn’t Yonggisu something that only exists in fairy tales? Moreover, that thing is not a dragon, but a devil disguised as a dragon. Ennin, that thing is not something that can be endured.”

The third born demon among the 24 high-ranking demons. Lionel Ta shook her head, remembering the terrible personality of the western evil dragon, Tana Hill.

A cursed abomination. Even Cecil, who held the “Emperor’s Scepter,” Could not rule over Tanahill and Arnhill.

But what about Enin? The interrogator, who seems to become stupid just by looking at that face, tames Tanahil.

This was the most boring joke I’ve heard this year.

“Well, I don’t know. “I think it might be surprisingly possible.”

However, Julius only smiled meaningfully at Lionelta’s words.

In his hands, he was suddenly holding a book.

A sacred relic of prophecy colored in silver like the flowing milky way.

It was the “First Bible” Created by Telmir, the first saint.

“…… It’s just an object that shows the future that will happen in the future. “It is not a holy relic that shows a definite future.”

“I know. But wouldn’t it be more interesting to tame a dragon?”

“…… Ha. Oh my, that’s why. What is the reason for handing this to me? “I asked you to help my son come to his senses, but you just ripped me off.”

Lionelta’s expression became sour after receiving the Bible from Julius.

That appearance somehow resembled Cecil when she had heartache.

Julius continued speaking with a faint smile.

“I would like you to convey this to Zipnel. As Lionelta said, it is something that merely shows aspects of the future that may occur. Rather than Erman or I using it, it would be better to return it to the owner.”

“…… Well, I got it. There’s nothing wrong with that. I’ll just give this back to Zifnel. “Can I call your sister right now?”

“Yes. And when you pass along the Bible, I hope you pass along my words as well.”

Maybe Lionel Ta’s body odor would get on her body, but there was no other way.

Julius walked towards her Lionel, lowered her head and whispered something softly in her ear.

“…… Well, I get it. But why do I have to tell you this?”

In a moment.

After Julius finished speaking, he took a step back.

Lionel Ta tilted her head and opened her mouth.

“The descent of an angel does not take much time. “It will take at most a few minutes for Zifnel to come down here, so why bother telling me this?”

If there is something to say to Zifnel, Julius himself can say it to Zifnel in person.

So, Julius’ request to convey her words on his behalf was nothing but puzzling to Lionel Ta.

“That crack. “After taking a quick look, it seems like it can’t be removed from here.”

Well, Lionelta may be confused or not.

Julius simply continued speaking honestly.

Julius spoke, pointing to a “Crack” In the sky above a distant city.

“…… Well, it seems like that. “First of all, we need to prevent the crack from spreading elsewhere-“

“So, we decided to focus on quickly eliminating the culprit of the problem.”

“…… Yes? Problem? Eliminate?”

“Yes. “The master of magic who carved that crack in the air.”

Arnhill.

Excited.

At the same time as I spit out the three letters of the name Arnhill. Julius moved the divine power “Eve” That resided in his heart.

Received from Ehrmann.

When the medium connecting Cecil and himself was stimulated with divine power, the power in the shape of a half sphere began to shake violently.

“No matter how much you think about it. As expected, it seems like Cecile was left alone for too long. “She gets lonely more easily than she looks, so she’s probably desperately looking for me by now.”

If divine power is just a flame that burns everything, Magi is an elaborate sculpture.

It’s like putting together a puzzle or weaving threads into fabric.

The demon energy borrowed from Cecil on a whim is created as “Magic.”

“You, you!”

Lionelta’s face was belatedly colored with astonishment as she sensed the unusual magical energy radiating from Julius’ heart.

“I will return to the palace now. No matter how much I think about it, I can’t seem to leave her alone with her ex.”

“Hey, you crazy guy! You don’t know what that “Crack” Is? “Using a magic that transcends space when space is so unstable is suicidal!”

“No. I can do it. “That’s right.”

I am Julius Tapnel.

I looked at the angel who hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Julius by the collar.

He just lazily put arrogant words into his mouth.

──Trudge.

I moved my polished foot and took a step forward.

In an instant, the landscape of the mountain, lush with bare tree branches, distorts and spreads like ripples.

Like paint falling on water, they mix and come together.

─You rotten bastard! Please listen when the angel speaks!

An old-fashioned angelic voice…… It became distant.

***

“… ….”

Immediately afterwards, when Julius opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was not the angel’s face.

The day I flew from Aran to the capital with Cecil.

It was the main gate of the very familiar Spiral Palace, where we first encountered Arnhill.

Unlike before, which was covered with bright red flesh, the main gate of the palace was stained with the color of the dawn sky.

It’s not like people’s heads are rolling around like in the past… It didn’t happen.

“… ….”

I gently place my hand on the door that has regained its original artistry.

I felt the coolness of the cold metal.

“…… “It was a success.”

It looks like my first magic test run ended in success.

Wiping away the dead blood flowing from between his lips, Julius nodded his head once, as if satisfied.

I really liked the new toy.
