Chapter 150 Mystiltain (8)
Frondier instantly took the form of mana and moved along the stem. No, is it the root?
‘indeed. ‘Because it’s this way, humans can’t do it.’
Frontier was impressed as he moved. His body became the shape of mana. But it doesn’t disperse. It’s probably possible because he’s a devil.
Whoosh!
Frondier’s feet touched the ground in an instant.
He didn’t know it, but he was moving at incredibly high speeds in Yggdrasil.
Then, as soon as he arrived, he went outside of Yggdrasil.
As if Yggdrasil had spit it out.
“Hmm, I think it took less than 5 minutes.”
Frondier looked around.
“… … “Is this the Demon World?”
I thought Frontier would have a b*tchy atmosphere when he went to the Demon World, but it wasn’t as different as I thought.
The place where he was standing was a wilderness with nothing of note, but it was still a place that could have existed somewhere in the world where he lived.
However, the color was very subtly different. Should I say the saturation is a little higher?
‘I feel like I’m in a slightly uniquely retouched photo.’
I looked around and didn’t see any demons. As expected from Belphegor, it seems like everyone got scared and evacuated.
‘Well, that’s a good thing. Anyway, 1 o’clock is urgent.’
I don’t want to be held back by my ankles anymore.
Zech─
Then Selena came out of the shadows.
“It’s already arrived.”
Selena came out and looked around. His eyes were full of curiosity. It seems she was also curious about what the demon world was like.
“… … “It’s not much different.”
It quickly became a look of disappointment.
Frondier asked.
“Selena, are you okay?”
“it’s okay. “It was much shorter than 5 minutes.”
“That’s true, but the mana here may not suit your body… … .”
A frontier who had experience receiving mana into his body. He knows well the fear of mana in the other world.
But Selena twitched the tip of her nose a few times, looked around, and shrugged as if there was no problem.
“It seems okay. “I don’t feel any discomfort in breathing or any poison.”
“Really?”
When Frontier checked again,
“Frondier, you’re too overprotective.”
Belphegor, who followed, came out of Yggdrasil and said.
“If there was such a problem, I would have told you first.”
“How can I trust you?”
“Then who do you trust? “You have to trust your own people.”
This kid has been teasing his own people for some time now.
Belphegor took a deep breath.
“Hmm, it’s the smell of my hometown that I haven’t smelled in a long time.”
“How do you feel?”
“It sucks.”
“I agree.”
Belphegor laughs. Strangely enough, he doesn’t seem to like the demon world that much either.
Frondier asked.
“Are we moving again from here? “How many times do I have to repeat this?”
“From here, you can go straight to Olympus. If we move from there one more time, we will reach Tartarus.”
“That means twice.”
“yes.”
Belphegor answered and placed his hand back on Yggdrasil from which he came.
“Luckily there was no one there. The devil can’t even see his nose. Well, it was something I expected, so now I just have to get on this again and go to Tartarus.”
There is one stem of Yggdrasil in each world. So, in the demon world, there is only this Yggdrasil.
Frondier tilted his head at him.
“But what if I take this route and end up back in Niflheim?”
Frondier came to the Demon World from Niflheim. Isn’t the opposite also possible?
Belphegor shook his head.
“Yggdrasil doesn’t work like that. Simply put, Yggdrasil is a one-way street.”
“One-way street?”
“okay. This thing is not a convenient object like magic engineering, but a living tree. We move through the world following the flow of tree growth. “Reversing that means, for a human being, blood flowing backwards.”
Frontier’s expression distorted.
“… … “It’s terrible.”
“yes? So make sure you move in the designated direction. And originally, that was good from the gods’ perspective.”
“You liked it?”
“A one-way street means that if you go to the next world, you have to go around Yggdrasil once to return to the world you came from. That’s quite a burden. While there are places where the world itself is boiling with high fever, there are places where the stem itself is protected. So you can’t cross the world carelessly. Either God or the devil. “That has the effect of fixing the inhabitants of the world.”
“It has the effect of managing the residents from a god’s perspective.”
“yes. Especially in the case of Helheim, ghosts are rampant, so there are quite a few who try to escape using Yggdrasil. Even in that case, the manager knows in advance where they are going, so they can catch them.”
Frondier nodded at Belphegor’s words.
The ones who cannot use Yggdrasil are the beings on the ground. Anyone who is already in this world can use it. If so, management will be needed.
Belphegor said.
“Satan has spread his roots across many worlds through agreements with the gods, but the principle is the same. “The range of one turn has just expanded.”
“good. “It means I don’t have to choose a direction.”
Frondier understood and pounded his fist lightly with his palm.
at that time.
“… … hmm.”
Belphegor, Frondier, and Selena turned towards the same direction at the same time.
There was a stranger flying in the sky.
A strict face. He is wearing a pair of glasses that match his face, and is looking down at Frontier and the others with a stiff face.
Frondier asked.
“What is that guy?”
“He is my successor.”
“successor… … ?”
“Yes, this guy is Astaroth.”
Frondier realized, “Ah,” when he heard those words.
I heard this from Arald too. It is said that after Belphegor stepped down from the position of sloth, Astaroth took his place.
They say it’s not as good as Belphegor.
“hmm.”
Belphegor looked at Astaroth for a moment, then smiled and spoke to Frondier.
“Go first.”
“what?”
“I’m saying leave this to me and move forward.”
What is that déjà vu proposal?
I’ve never heard this before, but I think I’ve heard it over a hundred times.
“You’re in a hurry at one o’clock.”
At Belphegor’s words, Frondier paused for a moment and nodded.
That is correct. I couldn’t be held back any longer, here or anywhere.
“Okay, let’s go. “Selena.”
“yes.”
Selena enters the shadows without saying a word.
Belphegor said to him.
“Can’t I at least give you some regrets? female.”
Selena’s head popped out of the shadows.
“Please die.”
“ha ha ha.”
So Frondier entered Yggdrasil again.
Astaroth watched quietly.
Belphegor’s head rolled.
‘Hmm. After all, the goal is not to stop Frontier. Well, if I did that, I would most likely die from ecclexis. Even if it weren’t for that, I don’t think he would beat Frondier.’
If you stop Frontier here, it will only make you angry. Astaroth knows that well.
When Frontier disappeared completely, Astaroth looked at Belphegor and let out a voice of anger.
“Belphegor… … !”
“Hello. sloth.”
Belphegor turned his pupils to the side and widened his mood.
Then he said.
“Why are you the only one there?”
“What do you mean?”
“If you want to kill me, everyone can come. “The Seven Deadly Sins won’t have anything to do right now anyway.”
Even if Belphegor widens the detection area to its maximum, there are no other Seven Deadly Sins.
Well, I feel like I’m getting tired of the group of hidden demons.
Astaroth spoke in displeasure.
“… … “I alone have enough of you.”
“Well, you would say that.”
Belphegor answered coldly.
However, his eyes sank.
‘Are you scared by Frontier? The most appropriate obstacle for Frontiere to leave first without opening up its power and leaving it to me. That’s Astaroth. Anyway, you succeeded in putting me and Frondier away.’
Frontier knows about Astaroth.
Being Belphegor’s successor, and not being as good as him.
In other words, from Frondier’s point of view, it is better to leave it to Belphegor without having to use any force.
“… … Hehehe.”
“What’s funny?”
“No, this is it. “The Seven Deadly Sins say nothing has changed.”
Astaroth: Does this guy know?
That he was chosen for this position because he was weak.
Well, whatever.
“I really agree with you.”
It is indeed the seven deadly sins.
It’s been like that before, but they’re really fun guys.
“Now is the only time I can relax like that.”
Astaroth raised one hand.
The demons hiding in him revealed themselves. Although these guys have already been detected by Belphegor.
A huge army surrounded Belphegor.
‘My strength became stronger as I sat in the position of the Seven Deadly Sins. It’s different from the old days.’
The Astaroth that Belphegor knew did not have this many troops.
Astaroth is by nature a recluse, so he doesn’t tend to subordinate himself too much.
‘Perhaps he absorbed my forces while sitting in the seat of sloth.’
“good!”
Astaroth shouts, and the demons attack with their respective weapons.
‘If it’s just numbers, it’s in my power,’
Belphegor activated Eclexis as soon as he thought,
“… … !”
Whoosh!
Wow!
I realized something strange and walked away.
A barrage of demons pouring down. Even if you avoid the first one, the next one remains. The number of demons is endless.
Flames fill both of Belphegor’s hands.
devil karma
hell touch
A magic that was also used when dealing with Frontier. It is a magic that deflects the enemy’s attack and at the same time burns the target. This attack disabled one of Frondier’s arms.
And I lost.
Grumbling—!
Once it touches this flame and catches fire, it cannot be easily extinguished.
Whick!
However, the demons continued to attack Belphegor even when they were on fire.
No shouting or screaming.
Belphegor, feeling strange, looked into the eyes of one of the demons.
There is no focus. Beyond not being able to focus, both eyes are acting as they please.
‘… … this.’
If you look at Mana a little more closely, you can see that there is a thread made of Mana hanging above his head.
They have turned it into a doll that has lost its will and are manipulating it to do its will.
‘If this happens, it’s better than fire.’
Belphegor clenched his fists.
A regime loaded with Aurors and pushing back.
Wow!
The demons in the path each had holes in them and were lying around. Even if you can’t feel pain, you can’t wake up if it’s structurally damaged.
“How is it.”
Astaroth, who was watching this, said.
“Dolls don’t feel sloth. “Your ecclexis has become useless.”
“I see.”
Belphegor obediently admitted.
Trying to put a child who is already asleep to sleep. It just doesn’t make sense.
“And did you notice?”
Astaroth laughed bitterly.
“All the demons here are the army of sloth. In other words, they are people who were your subordinates in the past.”
Belphegor slightly tilted his head at those words.
Now that I think about it, the face somehow looked familiar.
“How are you feeling? Being attacked by those who were once your subordinates? And how does it feel to hurt them?”
Astaroth asks mockingly.
Belphegor scratched his head.
“Aren’t you mistaken?”
“… … “What?”
“Because you are a devil, you have always dealt with humans. Those words might work for humans, though.”
Belphegor raised a finger.
devil karma
sin of sloth
eternity’s walk
Crash!
Then, the demons that had been attacked by Belphegor earlier began to squirm.
“Ah, Agag, ugh!”
They stood up making strange noises.
Belphegor’s specialty is calling corpses.
Belphegor goes beyond punching a hole in the body of his subordinate and raises the corpse again.
He smiled with his own face.
“Still curious about how I feel?”
