I’m not going to die

98 – Permanent Death (2)

“What’s the best thing you can make right now?”

Rather than telling me what I wanted, it seemed better for Cyclops to do it himself.

If you ask me if I need something more here, I can’t think of anything.

What I lacked the most right now was the harmony of black magic and magic, but that was something I had to solve myself.

It was a pity to solve it through relic-level weapons.

“Hmm.”

Cyclops had a keen insight into me.

It feels like his gaze is digging into my body.

Cyclops, who looked at me for a while, left this answer.

“I think there is only one secret to why the weapons I made become relics.”

“What is it?”

“observation.”

Cyclops looked at the dagger I threw and said.

“When Kersia was my colleague, I was able to discover what was lacking while fighting and observing together for a long time. His characteristic is endless vitality, and he has a life that cannot be consumed even with black magic, so I needed something to consume it. That’s why this altar sword was born.”

…Is he endowed with infinite vitality?

In a way, it is similar to the Undead.

Even if I use my life force, I have risen again, and he has a life force that does not die even if I use it.

“Was he immortal?”

“No. If you receive a fatal wound, you will endure more tenaciously, eventually leading to death. It was not an immortal existence.”

“Right.”

In a way, it may be called aptitude.

Just as he became a warlock to deal with the overflowing life force, I also held this altar sword in order to utilize the infinite life force.

The Cyclops, with their keen insight, discovered my characteristics in detail.

“You’re not born with infinite vitality like Kersia. But you seem to have used that dagger, and judging from the scars, it looks like you’ve used it several times, but you didn’t die. You mean you have multiple lives?”

“It’s almost right.”

“Then it would be right to make something worthy of that infinite life.”

Cyclops smiled brightly, saying that he had come up with a good idea.

“Wait a little, a decent artifact will be born.”

“i get it.”

If he said so, a weapon with infinite utility like the Celsia Altar Sword would be born.

Satisfied, he left his forge.

And while I was moving my steps, my legs gave out and I collapsed.

“Oh, are you okay!?”

Vero is startled and supports me.

I was also a bit dumbfounded.

No matter how much heat the Cyclops use, the body is on the verge of fainting.

I had a lot more to do, but I’ll end it at this point for today.

Originally, it wasn’t like this, but as time went on, my body was getting weaker.

Catch a cold from walking around in the cold outside.

As for the reason, there was one representative.

First of all, the circle that was forcibly engraved on the body.

The circle is a device that circulates mana, but the process of engraving it on the body wasn’t very good.

Basically, it is an unstable device that Professor Ophelia made in one day, and if it is counted too quickly, it may be overcrowded.

After a while, I try to stand up, and then I realize that there are many people in front of me.

There are many magicians.

As the Demon King’s Castle is a city of demons, it wouldn’t be strange if there were such a number, but they all had hostility toward me.

“Brother! That’s him.”

“That kid killed my men?”

“Who is that weak-looking guy?”

The demons look very angry.

Looking at the atmosphere, it seems to be the same organization as the demons I just killed.

It seems that he got caught up in something troublesome.

I wanted to leave it alone instead of killing it, but even if I kicked it out anyway, they would have attacked me in the same way.

Vero went ahead before things got bigger.

Of course, rather than worrying about me, he seemed worried about a catastrophe.

Even though I’m now in a collapsed state, it seems that I haven’t forgotten the power of magic.

“Now, wait a minute. That person is a candidate for executive position!

“Aren’t you angry that your subordinate died?”

“You got angry when we said one Mine died!”

Main, who seemed to be the captain, drew his sword in anger at the death of his subordinate.

Were these guys friendly with each other?

To this, the person who assisted him added a comment.

“And a weak guy like that is a candidate for an executive officer! Even the demon lord will laugh at his absurdity!”

“I don’t know what nonsense you fell for, but if you don’t want to get hurt, get out of here, maid.”

Vero looked quite unfair.

It’s not a rumor, it’s a proposal from an executive I heard directly from the King of Death, but that’s nonsense.

Before Vero could stop anything, the demons gathered one by one with their weapons out.

No matter how half a person is, the other half is demonic blood.

They have physical abilities that exceed those of ordinary adults.

Even if they just pick up a sword and wield it, they become the butchers.

That is, of course, as long as it is based on ordinary people.

I boosted my mana again.

A blue beam of light shines through, cutting their throats.

“Quaaagh!”

“Be careful! It’s a high-level wizard!”

This time, without fear, he ran endlessly.

What are you thinking?

I didn’t understand the demons’ suicidal behavior, and I didn’t really want to understand.

Draw a magic circle.

A magic circle is a series of circles and lines drawn mechanically.

However, if you work on it repeatedly, you will soon create a beautiful and teratological magic circle like art.

Even ordinary people can judge the level of magic.

If you draw well, you can intuitively know that it is such a great magic.

The overwhelming level of the magic circle was drawn, and the demons were also taken aback.

“Normal…not a wizard…”

“late.”

Just kill them all right here and there.

It’s only once or twice that you get involved in this kind of thing, and it just becomes annoying when it’s repeated.

the moment the light spreads.

Their heads were all cut off.

The solid lines pulled out of the magic circle sharply cut the flesh.

Drops of blood splatter from the front.

It was right for a skilled wizard to consider this and not leave even a single drop of blood on his body.

However, maybe it was because my field of expertise was black magic, not magic, not a drop of it splashed on me, but a few drops splashed on Vero, who was a little further ahead.

approach her

Vero looked at me with blank eyes.

“Ah… ugh…”

“You got a little splash on your cheek.”

Wipe the blood off her cheek.

When my hand touched Vero’s cheek, her body trembled.

Was I even scared?

Pats Vero’s head as he trembles like a pitiful pet.

A small horn is caught on the head.

This is also fate, but I intend to take him with me at least until I get out of the Demon Castle.

And even if I had lived in the castle of demons, it was a long time ago, and it is not now.

She will give you ample guidance on geography or directions I don’t know.

“let’s go.”

“Yes, yes!”

Vero, who was trembling with fear, obeyed my words with full loyalty.

Maybe it’s because he’s a demon who follows the principle of strength even though he’s less than a demon, so it seems that he suddenly gained loyalty when he saw strong magic.

As soon as I nodded and took a few steps, I felt that it was a mountain beyond a mountain.

“…a high-ranking demon.”

If it’s bad luck, this is also bad luck.

It’s not just one either.

Since it was the base of demons, there were many high-level demons flocking to it.

Strange beings with black shapes fell from the sky one by one.

If I had known it would be like this, I would have walked away quietly.

[A human who goes wild inside the castle.]

[I’ll put you in jail first, then I’ll interrogate you.]

This time, Vero tried to make an excuse.

There are unfair things, and in reality, executive candidates don’t just bow down to high-ranking demons.

“I can explain!”

[Tell me, Mine.]

The high-ranking demons listened to the maid’s words rather than trying to subdue me.

The maid explained very eagerly.

I was offered a position as an executive officer by the King of Death, and the demon I killed was very enthusiastic in the way Vero kept repeating the fact that they quarreled first.

After listening to her words, the high-ranking demon reaches out to me.

[Seize it.]

“Yes, yes? Did you hear me!”

[It is not an executive, but a candidate for an executive, after all. It is not a reason to stop this execution, and it is the same as causing a commotion in the castle.]

That means they’re going to arrest me and interrogate me.

not very flexible

Looking at the demons crowding around, he is troubled.

The high-ranking demons were in a different position to use their strength here again.

At least I could use black magic to win, but I can’t use black magic right now.

“…Is it moderate?”

While thinking about it, a more important person appeared.

I thought I would just leave it like this, but it seems like it’s not going to stay still.

Flying from the sky, she takes the breath away from everyone below the ground as soon as her presence appears.

The high-ranking demons stopped what they were doing and knelt down, and even Bero bowed his head on the floor as if it were a mortal sin.

It’s a worthy opponent.

He is the king of this castle.

“Devil.”

“It’s noisy.”

The Demon King smiled calmly and stepped onto the ground.

While all demons and demons bowed their heads and put their heads on the ground, she moved towards me.

What do you think?

I constantly think about what my intentions were.

She just puts her hand on my shoulder and tells me what she was about to do.

“I prepared a welcome speech.”

“…Welcome back.”

What would you like to say to me?

While wondering about that, she still moved on.

Since he is asking you to follow him, he will follow you for now.

“You come too.”

“Hee, hee!”

Of course, I took care of Vero before going.

She looked on the verge of passing out from the pressure, but it was a pity to leave her like this, so I pulled her out with her head on the floor.

Seeing that the pupils are not clear, is the demon king that burdensome?

The road parted like a flood at her step.

In the meantime, the demon king spoke.

“I heard you turned down the executive position.”

This much was expected.

Since I spoke to the King of Death, the news must have been delivered to the ears of the Demon King.

Nodding his head, the demon king asked again.

“Why?”

“Because I don’t need it.”

The demon king stopped moving and looked around.

“Everything around here is put under your feet.”

know. That’s the position of an executive.

It was the position of a king with the emperor above his head.

“You will have unlimited wealth and power.”

he also knows

Even high-ranking demons bow their heads in front of me and follow my orders.

Whatever your desires, whatever your luxuries, you can spend whatever you want.

“Do you still hate it?”

“What are the duties that come with it?”

However, he becomes bound by the demon king.

Basically, the contract of balance made by becoming an executive restrained me until the moment the demon king overturned everything with unwritten rules.

As much as the power given by becoming an executive, the responsibility was great.

However, the demon king gave an answer that exceeded my expectations.

“What if you don’t even shoulder that duty?”

I looked into the demon king’s eyes.

Still, even now, I can’t feel anything.

Even with such lively expressions and gestures.

Why can’t those two eyes see anything?

I couldn’t understand the demon king’s willingness to give me an executive position without any obligation.

What do you want?

Devil.
