Episode 159: The Shadow of the Great Mountain Range (8)
“… Don’t make me laugh!”
The moment the unpleasant feeling dug into her head, Siren’s mind, which was still slightly awake, suddenly woke up. She shouted, pushing away the sinister magic with her own magic.
It’s enough to make me furious that a half-breed is imitating the precious power that the master has bestowed upon me, but how can he even try to violate me in return?
When there was confusion in the control of the demons, there was at least indirect contact.
Her anger doubled as she felt for herself that the nature of the magical power that was trying to tear through her body was exactly like her own.
“How dare a human being―”
Siren, who had lost her mind halfway, bounced up from where she had fallen on the floor.
Since all his abilities are concentrated on the ability to manipulate the demons like his own hands and feet, his own strength is not that strong, but he can still be used by ordinary humans. And Banpyeon is an ordinary human without magic power, so a surprise attack is enough―
Phaaaak!
Siren lay down twice as fast as she could stand up. Of course, it was not her will but her inevitability.
“Snap!”
“Where is this.”
It was a light attack, but no matter how you swing the iron hammer, it is still a deadly weapon. A choking scream escaped from Siren’s mouth as she was hit in the torso by the iron block.
If Lilia hadn’t put the ejaculation in her hand, she wouldn’t have just laid down and ended up not opening her eyes again.
It might have been a happier ending for Siren though.
“Even if your words are harsh, your body is honest. You’re responding properly.”
Galen chuckled as he watched the Siren groan in pain.
“What did you say? Wasn’t it said that a being born from the devil can’t reject this? But demons are born directly from the devil. So you would naturally be included as well.”
“This… fucking dog… … .”
“Of course, it won’t be absolute. If you follow that logic, then even your master, the devil, will be possessed by you. In the end, just like a wizard, the extent to which you can reach the realm of magic will be determined.”
Galen didn’t care what Siren said in response.
What was important was not the content of the words, but the devilish tones mixed in the voice that continued to gnaw at the Siren’s eardrums.
At first, it seemed like they were able to resist for a while, but as the waves of magical power that came out as Galen spoke continued to beat the Siren, cracks began to appear in her defenses.
“But no matter how great the devil is, he can’t turn each and every evil spirit into a jewel. If he had that ability, the world would have been ruined long ago. What if you’re not a jewel? That means you’re weaker than me.”
“shut up……!”
“Well, I guess you still have time to respond. Lilia, please give me one more time so I don’t faint.”
“Like this?”
“Whoa!”
Siren’s body, struck by the hammer while lying down, flopped around like a fish. My eyes became dizzy.
While my concentration was forcibly paralyzed, Galen’s magical power approached me quickly.
A siren would never use her powers on another siren, because her master demon would not have wanted that.
That’s why I couldn’t have any experience with responding. I just realized for the first time that if you get beaten so hard that you can’t come to your senses, your mental defenses will also be shaken.
“no…….”
“Okay.”
In fact, when two identical magics clash, it ends up being a battle of powers, but Galen, who stole the magic, actually has the upper hand over the original owner, Siren.
To be blunt, the skill of the Demonic Sound itself was somewhat crude, but the most important thing was that the magical power was superior to Siren’s in both quantity and quality.
The existing spirit creation had reached the golden peak with jewels right in front of it, and it was inherited as is.
In the end, the winner was Galen.
“… … .”
Siren, who had been writhing and resisting with her whole body until just before, suddenly stopped moving. The strength left her face, which had been distorted with an expression that said she hated it more than death.
“Is it okay?”
Lilia asked, looking at Siren with interest.
“I’m shaking a little bit.”
“It’s not like the original personality was completely deleted. It’s just been suppressed for a while by my magic. It’s acting like this because it’s still rebelling inside. It definitely takes a lot more effort to control it than the evil one.”
“Is it because the evil spirit is stupid?”
“It’s possible. If you think about it, it’s the difference in difficulty between taming a beast and taming a person. Actually, I can’t say I’ve ‘tamed’ one yet… … .”
Success is success, even if it is temporary and imperfect.
How much can the Siren, who has been subdued like this, answer?
Galen, weighing the weight of the question in his mind, opened his mouth.
“What were you doing here?”
“Block the entrance… with demons… .”
Siren’s voice trembled as much as her trembling body. It seemed that answering was extremely difficult. Of course, it was none of Galen’s business.
“What is a demon? Is that what you call an evil spirit?”
“okay…….”
“Come to think of it, I called you a servant too, didn’t I? Brother, you called me a half… strangely.”
“You can call them demigods. No matter what the demons call them, they look more like demigods to me. Anyway… why did you block them?”
“Humans… Surrounded… So that… They… Cannot… Escape… … .”
“Are there any other Sirens in this area besides you?”
“Our sisters… seven… you… killed… the youngest… … !”
Siren’s voice became a little sharper. Her body trembled more.
“Shall I hit you one more time?”
“It’s okay. Well, it seems that the influence of your old personality still remains. It’ll be hard to get answers to questions that are likely to provoke a seizure.”
The immediate response was simple: just pour more magic power into it.
Galen, who had forcibly calmed the Siren, asked again.
“Where are the other Sirens?”
“The… six directions of the basin… … .”
“So you’re saying that they’re causing trouble by bringing in a bunch of evil spirits from all over the place?”
“Yes… Soon… the humans… will be driven… over here… to hunt… .”
“Pursuit?”
Galen’s brow furrowed.
“Could this be the noose part?”
“okay…….”
“You guys are such bad guys!”
Lilia clenched her fists. She was smart and could easily understand what the Siren was talking about.
The first village in the pioneer zone is located at the very entrance of the basin and is connected to Abaca by regular flights. It is a village in name only, but it is actually more like a small city. It even has a castle wall.
But that’s not the case in other villages. Since each person tries to cultivate as much land as possible, the population density is actually lower than usual.
What if Siren appeared in such a place with an army of evil spirits?
No matter how big the village is, it can’t accommodate hundreds of mercenaries. It would be like the belly would be bigger than the stomach. It’s unmanageable.
Even if there were such a place, the evil horde would be far more numerous in terms of sheer numbers, so there was no way there would be a fight. You would have to abandon your farmland and village and run away, shedding tears of blood.
But there’s more than one Siren. What if something like this happens simultaneously across the entire frontier?
You’ll run south, south, to avoid the evil spirits, and eventually reach the first village.
Not only is it unclear whether the first village can accommodate all the refugees, but the only road leading to Abaca is also completely blocked by the evil sects.
If the Sirens, who had leisurely led the evil horde to that point, launch an all-out attack… the pioneering area will be completely annihilated.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I don’t know… I… just did… what my master… told me to do… .”
“Well, that’s what it means to be a devil. Isn’t there any point in finding meaning in it?”
Galen thought that the church had given the devil, the demons, and the evil spirits at least one name.
The word “evil” is not used for nothing. Even without a special reason, or even if there is a special reason, the lives of thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of people are nothing to these guys.
“I am so glad to be an archbishop.”
Lilia said, glaring at Siren with contempt.
“If I hadn’t come to see Bishop Myra at this point, I wouldn’t have even known that this was happening.”
“Thankfully, we know now. We can stop it before it gets worse.”
Galen, who had been comforting Lilia, looked at Siren again and said.
“Are there any other demons here besides you sirens?”
“None… Not yet… The only ones dispatched… are our sisters… … .”
“then.”
Galen paused for a moment, then slowly asked, preparing to use his magic.
“Your master, where is the devil?”
“… … .”
This time there was no immediate answer.
Instead, the tremors became twice as severe as when he had a fit about killing the youngest.
“Answer me.”
Galen ordered, striking the magic power of the Demonic Sound with greater force.
“Master… Master… Master… … .”
The words that are squeezed out are repeated without any further connection.
His expression became increasingly distorted as if he was rebelling against Galen’s magic. He clutched his head tightly with his hands and his legs were twisted. Blood flowed from his eyes and nose.
Even just looking at the outside, Lilia could tell that something was wrong, so Galen, who was pouring his magic directly into it, naturally knew even better that the internal backlash was serious.
But the two of them just watched. There was no reason to give Siren any consideration.
“Nam… Namdong… Keuk! Keuk!”
The moment she could barely utter a new word, Siren vomited blood.
With each violent cough, a handful of blood stained Siren’s gray skin red.
The writhing movements of the evil spirit soon stopped completely.
“He’s dead.”
Lilia, who had been sensing Siren’s heartbeat from a distance, pronounced her death. Galen clicked his tongue.
“It seems like it’s impossible to dig up information about the devil. Maybe it’ll be different if I try later when I become a jewel.”
“I’m a little worried about your brother’s conscience today.”
Lilia rolled her eyes gently.
“In the first place, it doesn’t make sense to be able to extract information from demons. That’s why Bishop Myra said capturing them was meaningless.”
The evil spirits that form an absolute master-servant relationship with the devil are so vicious that they would rather commit suicide than reveal even the slightest information.
Even the torture that the church boasted about was useless. The method of forcibly keeping someone alive through miracles of healing and then inflicting pain until they were on the verge of going crazy did not work on evil spirits, whose bodies would gradually disintegrate when they came into contact with the Holy Spirit.
“If this continues, there will be people who misunderstand strangely. People who think it really has something to do with the devil.”
“If Lilia gently rubs me with her sex energy, I’ll hear those words right away, so it’s okay.”
“I’m so glad I’m a priest. By the way, you said Namdong before you died, right?”
Lilia turned her head for a moment and looked southeast. Of course, all she could see was mountains.
Galen, who had turned his head together, suddenly remembered the old days.
“Huh? Now that I think about it, if you go southeast from here… it’s Elta, right?”
If you go south from the pioneer area, you will reach Abaca, and if you go east from Abaca, you will reach the city of Elta.
This is where the devil’s cradle was.
“no way?”
“No, of course not.”
Lilia said bluntly.
“The discovered abyss will be continuously observed by the diocese until it is completely destroyed. Bishop Myra is not the type of person to do something carelessly, and if there was something concerning, he would have told you earlier.”
“Right. Just in case, I’ll check later… If not that, does it mean the Southeastern Archdiocese?”
“The range is too wide… Well, the Great Mountain Range extends to the southeast, so maybe it’s hiding somewhere in the shadow of the Great Mountain Range?”
“Oh, that could be true. The more evil spirits there are, the safer it is for demons.”
I can only guess, but it’s better than having no hints at all.
Since the East and the Southeast are connected, there was nothing logically strange about it. It was more plausible than a place name suddenly popping up somewhere in the West.
“Hey, I’ll think about it later!”
Lilia cleaned it up neatly.
“We can’t go catch the devil right now, can we? Let’s solve this problem first!”
“That is correct.”
Galen, who had been fighting back, waved his hand lightly. The magic of the Vanity Flame created flames that burned Siren’s body.
“Let’s go and find out what’s going on.”
“yes!”
The two men climbed onto the horse again.
Although they had cleaned up the surroundings to create an environment suitable for interrogating Siren, thousands of evil spirits still remained before them.
But there was absolutely nothing to worry about.
In order to kill Galen and Lilia, Siren formed a siege net made up of only elite evil spirits.
They had been swept away in the previous process.
In short, the remaining guys were just a bunch of troublemakers with a lot of numbers.
Above all, with Siren dead, the evil spirits were no longer a ‘legion’.
What happens when you put different species together in one place and suddenly lose control?
“Krrrrrr!”
“Boom! Boom!”
“Keeeeeek!”
Evil species are fundamentally no different from beasts. They are creatures that hunt, eat, and reproduce together, so they are grouped together as a large category called evil species, but they do not recognize each other as the same species.
So of course, things got messy. There were fights here and there, people bumping into each other and biting each other.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
In the middle of it, a huge explosion occurred. Dozens of evil spirits were torn to pieces and blown away.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwang!
Then, a series of explosions occurred in the areas where the evil spirits were concentrated, instantly turning hundreds of the evil spirits into chunks of meat.
“Kyaaaaah!”
“Kueeek!”
The evil spirits were thrown into confusion by Galen’s verdict, which was truly Solomon-like, as he cut the two in half while they were fighting.
They ran away in a disorderly manner, trampled each other to death, and were swept away to death by explosions of flames in the stagnant place, and in the midst of all this, they ran towards Galen and Lilia with their brains empty, and then exploded and died.
Let’s ride leisurely and burn coolly until the magic of the heat wave of vanity runs out.
Finally, my vision became clearer.
The sight of the first village also caught Galen’s eye.
Fortunately, there didn’t seem to be any major problems with the exterior. At least the walls didn’t appear to have collapsed or been significantly damaged.
“But I don’t see a single person on the wall. Aren’t there guards?”
“That… Brother, isn’t it because you’re scared that you’re hiding? You killed hundreds of evil spirits.”
“ah.”
Was it a little too much?
