Chapter 147 Nastrond (3)

While Frondier was thinking for a moment, Belphegor continued speaking.

“Satan is the devil of anger. “He may be acting slyly, but he draws in my anger just like me.”

“What are you angry about?”

“To everything.”

“what?”

“For someone else to be superior to you, or to have more wealth, to be taken away, to have a woman you have chosen not give you her heart, to have your arrogance pointed out. “I’m angry about it all.”

“… … He alone possesses all seven sins. “It seems like a play on words.”

“Even if it seems that way, it’s true.”

Anger happens everywhere.

Unlike the other seven sins, anger is closer to a primal emotion. Therefore, Satan understands the hearts of all seven sins and at the same time swallows all their desires.

This is why Satan is the closest thing to the king of demons. Because anger is triggered by all of the seven sins.

“I was an exception.”

“… … ah. “Because it was sloth.”

“There is no need to get angry at someone who is lazy. Unless it’s your person. “I didn’t say it, but Satan ranked me the lowest among the seven deadly sins, and thanks to that, I didn’t have to worry about unnecessary things.”

“You make it sound like it was a good thing.”

“Because it was a good thing.”

Belphegor spoke as if he had no interest in being evaluated low. All you have to do is not be a bother. As if that was all.

“But after Lucifer changed his attitude, Satan began to be wary of me.”

Satan was angry with the other demons of the Seven Sins, but not with Belphegor, the sloth.

This is because Belphegor was not an angry devil.

However, as time passes, the situation changes.

The other Seven Sins begin to become aware of Belphegor, who spends most of his time rolling around.

Just a few words and a few steps.

Belphegor is lazy. That’s why I didn’t even get angry, so I just ignored it.

However, if the ignored opponent is superior to Satan himself.

If he just didn’t show his strength for the simple reason of being lazy, and Satan didn’t notice it.

“The anger must have exploded.”

Belphegor nodded at Frondier’s words.

“I never thought I was more capable than Satan.”

“Is that why Satan tried to shake you off from the seven deadly sins?”

“okay. At that time, I was completely defenseless against Satan. Because I didn’t know he was wary of me. With his personality, I never thought he would care about someone like me.”

“What did Satan do?”

“It’s not that great. “It lit the spark of Mangot.”

The embers of Cape Mangot.

Mangot always starts a war against the empire in the game.

And when Frontier was a player, he was unable to overcome the wall of Cape Bay and faced game over countless times.

But if you think about it again.

‘… … I see! I thought it was earlier than the game that Mangot started a war!’

The attack on Mangot originally begins only after the main character, Aster, graduates. There were more minor events in the game before graduation.

However, Mangot invaded early and all of the original events were skipped.

I didn’t know the reason until now, but it was Satan who did something.

“What did Satan do?”

“You know that Mangot tried to call God, right?”

“okay. “It was Prometheus.”

Although Frontier did not see it in person, he heard the story from Ospreet.

It is said that Prometheus thought that mankind wanted to destroy itself.

“It was Satan who suggested the coming of Prometheus.”

“You didn’t do it?”

“Why do I do such a troublesome thing?”

If you say that, I have nothing to say.

Belphegor spoke a little slower, as if he was remembering that time.

“Of course, Prometheus at the time did not even try to listen to the words of the devil, Satan, but you know very well how Satan’s tongue is. “He eventually succeeded in persuading Prometheus.”

“How did you convince me?”

“’The majority of humans are destined to die anyway. So wouldn’t it be better to die to God than to die to the devil? On this, both the devil and God will agree. Even if the purpose is different.’ “It was something like that.”

“Both sides agree?”

“Humans killed by demons have a higher chance of having their souls eaten. Especially if you beg for your life right before you die. But that won’t happen if you die by God. We may not know it, but Prometheus must have followed Satan’s opinion with a very noble heart.”

“… … “This is a ridiculous story.”

Starting from the assumption that humans are destined to die anyway, it is absurd that even God agrees with this.

“When Satan made the offer to Prometheus, the faith at Cape Ten accelerated. At the same time, Ospreet felt the power of Prometheus.”

“It was good that Ospreet noticed it in advance, but it was also the fuse.”

There are people who have felt the power of God on the human side.

If this happens, Mangot has no choice but to start a war, whether he likes it or not.

“What was Satan aiming for with that?”

“To put it simply, I tried to take advantage of the results. “The moment Mangot’s victory became certain, he was preparing to let his demons deliver the final blow.”

“How did you… … . Ah, I see. “There were already demons in the empire.”

Frontier thought of Satan’s demons.

After the demon summoning incident occurred in the imperial palace, Satan seemed to have retrieved all of his demons, but he did not.

Their original purpose was to invade war.

“From Mangot’s point of view, and from the Devil’s point of view, the person who was most concerned was Aster Evans. How much he grows will determine the outcome of the war. “Satan, who judged it that way, tried to start the war early before he was fully grown.”

“… … “The judgment wasn’t wrong.”

Frondier nodded. Unlike the original story, Mangot started the war before Aster even graduated. How much that made Frontier tremble.

However, Aster’s growth was unexpected even for Frontier himself at the time. It was closer to awakening than growth.

“Satan’s original goal was probably to devour the empire and Mangot together. Mangot is loyal to me, so if I kill them, my power will weaken. “But things have changed dramatically.”

“… … “The empire won.”

“Yes, it’s because of you. Frontier.”

Belphegor’s face was calm as he spoke.

“Satan was embarrassed, but he must have been secretly happy. The goal was to kill some of my strength, so I could get eliminated from the Seven Deadly Sins. “The rule that ‘Satan always gains in the end’ was in effect.”

“That rule is quite famous.”

Belphegor was also saying what he heard from Bael.

“So I fell to Nastrond, but the problem this time is the Empire. And furthermore, Frontier, you are the problem. “Because you knocked me down.”

“That’s a problem for Satan?”

“yes. You said he gets angry about everything. The reason he was wary of me was because of his anxiety and inferiority that I might surpass Satan himself. But you defeated me like that. “Satan made a simple calculation.”

“Surely, if you kill me, you will be able to resolve my inferiority towards you?”

“yes. “I don’t know if that will really happen.”

Frondier opened his mouth.

I’ve been listening to the story about Satan for a while now, but the more I listen, the more one thing comes to mind.

‘… … ‘You look like a child.’

Anger is triggered by anything, or a mentality that tries to resolve one inferiority with another inferiority. It seems like a child who has not yet matured is having a tantrum.

… … So, is it the devil?

Then Belphegor spoke.

“Okay, we’ve arrived.”

“huh?”

Belphegor slowly landed on a downward slope while flying, and Frondier also landed behind him. Selena, who was carrying him, was also put down.

“Selena, is there anything wrong with your body?”

“it’s okay.”

“If there is any problem, you must tell me honestly. Like I said, I don’t notice your acting.”

Belphegor interrupted Frondier’s words.

“I told you. There is no poison here that is dangerous to humans. Contrary to your appearance, you are overprotective, Frontier. Did you know that overprotection is hereditary?”

“… … .”

“And don’t raise your voice any further. “Because I noticed.”

“I can’t believe you noticed.”

“Shh.”

Belphegor lifted his finger to his mouth.

Frondier looked in all directions with his sixth sense. However, nothing is detected.

Belphegor whispered in a low voice.

“Frondier, I know that your senses are excellent. But the scope is not wide. “He is out of your range.”

“… … “Who are you talking about earlier?”

“Do you know? “There is one person in Nastrond who is more dangerous than Nidhogg.”

Frondier tilted his head.

A guy more dangerous than Nidhogg in Nastrond? It is an entity unknown to Frontier’s knowledge. Is there a Norse god here that he doesn’t know about?

“It’s a guy named Fenrir.”

“what… … !”

Frondier was startled and his voice grew louder. Even though Belphegor told me to lower my voice, I made noise without realizing it. It was a first for him.

“Fenrir is here?”

“Hoo. “But you still know the name.”

I know.

Fenrir is a wolf. It’s not an ordinary wolf either.

According to the original myth, when Ragnarok occurs, it is a disaster that devours its god, Odin.

“okay. This is why I was able to defeat Nidhogg. “I don’t know why, but Nidhogg was bitten by Fenrir.”

“… … “Are you really planning on going to Fenrir now?”

“why? “Are you scared?”

“… … .”

Frondier kept his mouth shut at Belphegor’s mocking words.

But the answer came soon.

“Yes.”

“Hoo.”

Instead of laughing at Frondier’s honest words, Belphegor returned a bright look in his eyes.

“It’s just like you. You know the dangers of Fenrir. I wish demons were just as careful as you are. No, now that you are the devil, has that wish come true? Hahaha.”

“It’s nothing to laugh about. “You’re going to go to Fenrir without any plan?”

“There are no measures, but there is no need to have measures.”

“what are you talking about?”

“Fenrir is now bound. A dog tied to a rope in the yard of a house. “It’s safe as long as you don’t go that far.”

“… … “Didn’t Nidhogg say he was bitten?”

“okay. “Because Nidhogg thrust himself into me.”

What kind of situation is this?

I don’t understand that Fenrir is here, or that Nidhogg is within Fenrir’s range.

“I’ll find out when I get there. A few steps from here─,”

When Belphegor spoke that far.

Frontier’s Belphegor, both of their faces stiffened at the same time.

My sixth sense activated.

in other words,

“… … !”

Frondier, Selena, and Belphegor quickly looked away.

There is only darkness at the end of the field of vision.

However, at the end of that darkness, it is slowly creeping in.

Two eyes.

“town… … .”

Selena covered her mouth with her hand.

Eyes trembling with fear. The escaping breath seems to be making noise due to excessive tension.

Suuu

Was that the animal’s breath or a sound?

The three watch the scene without moving a single inch.

Frondier only moved his eyes and looked at Belphegor.

He was talking with his eyes.

‘You son of a b*tch, they say you’re safe because you’re tied up.’

Because the situation was so urgent, the message conveyed through eyes was busy.

Whoops.

“!”

The beast howls. Frondier quickly saw the wolf again.

However, it is not moving yet.

No, maybe.

‘… … ‘Are you really tied up?’

When Frondier focused his eyesight, there was something faintly visible in his eyes.

A thread wrapped around the wolf’s entire body. It was so thin that it was impossible to describe its appearance.

Because Frontier has knowledge of mythology, he knows the identity of that object. It is definitely ‘Gleipnir’. An unbreakable thread created by the gods to bind Fenrir.

however.

‘… … Coincidence, huh?’

I’m not sure because it’s just covered in darkness.

The thread that bound Fenrir was so dark.

So, it was pitch black.
