Chapter 98 Evidence (6)
“You guys! Our goal is not here! “Don’t waste time, follow me!!”
The high-level demon shouted, but the low-level demons still continued to attack Frondier as if they had not heard them.
The hammer imbued with Frontier’s lightning is swung repeatedly, and lightning and metal scatter in the air.
“These… … .”
The high-ranking devil’s eyes flashed. His eyes turned red.
‘That… … !’
Frontier sensed something and saw a high-ranking demon.
Kuung-!
pressure that weighs down the atmosphere. Only then did the low-level demons stop standing tall, as if struck by lightning.
The sight of all the black crowds filling the sky stopping all at once was a spectacle in itself.
“You guys are out of your minds.”
“… … !”
The low-level demons who came to their senses looked at each other with sad eyes and stammered their lips.
“Oh, no! “Why, why are we here, and I too,”
Pow!
A demon who was about to say something was struck by the high-ranking demon’s fist and sent flying away. There was a loud noise as the wind blew, and then a terrible sound came as it crashed into a rock standing on the ground.
“noisy. All of you, follow me. What we have business with is the empire. “I will find all the devils hiding there.”
The high-ranking devil glanced at Frondier for a moment as he said that. Lee Chae seemed young for a moment in those eyes, but now that the situation was urgent, he turned his back again.
The low-level demons followed behind with very frightened faces. Of course, the effects of Rafflesia lasted.
‘The power of that devil surpasses Rafflesia!’
Moreover, the effect of Rafflesia is not working at all. The devil’s power may be stronger than Frondier thought.
‘It’s difficult. I won’t be able to waste time like this. Those demons shouldn’t even reach the empire.’
There was concern that the power of high-ranking demons would surpass Rafflesia. Still, I believed that it would have some effect, but if it was acting like it was all nullified, Frondier’s thoughts were completely wrong.
‘What should I do?’
There is only one method that comes to mind right now.
This also uses the power of the devil.
However, if that happens, we can stop the empire’s war right now, but Runia becomes dangerous.
Marco would have immediately questioned Frondeer’s use of demonic power.
‘Why didn’t you use it from the beginning?’

Now that Marco realizes that this is all just Frondier’s play, he won’t waste a single moment.
‘… … wait.’
At that time, Frondier had a strange thought and looked at Marco.
The moment that high-ranking devil flew in, Marco suddenly became quiet for some reason.
Especially now, when the safety of Frontier has been secured. There is nothing strange about coming straight up to Frondier and talking to him. No, that would be normal.
But Marco continued to watch the high-ranking devil leave.
──That moment.
Frontier had a bright idea and shouted to Marco.
“Okay, shall we finish talking now? ‘Marcosias’.”
An obvious thing to say to Marco. A volume that is neither too big nor too small. Appropriate timing to bring it up after a moment of silence.
A word from Frontier that seems to have no end in sight.
Except for one thing: calling Marco ‘Marcosias’.
“… … Marcosias?”
at that time.
The high-ranking demon who seemed like he wouldn’t even look back suddenly stopped.
He looked back and focused on Marco, who was standing near Frondier.
“… … you… … !”
The high-ranking devil’s eyes widened upon seeing Marco’s face.
Tsk, Marco clicks his tongue.
“Marcosias! “I can’t believe you’re here!”
Frondier shouted and checked the face of the approaching high-ranking demon.
Given Marco’s behavior, it is clear that these two know each other.
So how do we know each other? You can tell that by looking at the high-ranking devil’s expression.
‘… … ‘I’m happy.’
A joy filled my face, as if I had met a separated family. The high-ranking devil seemed to have completely forgotten about Frondier and came down in front of Marco.
Of course, the low-level demons could only watch from the sky, somewhat indifferent to the suddenly changed actions of the high-ranking demons.
“You’re alive! Marcosias!”
“… … Ah, that’s right.”
“We all thought you were dead. Why didn’t you come sooner? Oh, was the injury serious?”
“… … No, it wasn’t like that.”
Marco averted his eyes. The way he avoided eye contact and the fact that he did not use honorifics was both something Frontier had seen for the first time.
“Did this man hurt you by any chance?”
The high-ranking devil looked at Frondier and shed his life. As soon as Marco nodded yes, he immediately cut his head off.
“No, it’s not like that.”
“Marcosias. If something comes up, tell me. We will all protect you. “You know that, right?”
“… … So it’s not like that. This is the man I will ‘use’.”
Marcosias gave strength to the word ‘use’. This is what devils really like.
“Hmm, is that really the case?”
As expected, the high-ranking devil nodded as if he liked Marco’s words.
“No, this is not the time. Marco, I’d like to share our accumulated stories, but we’ll do it later. “Come on, let’s go together!”
“… … .”
The high-ranking demon held out his hand to Marco.
Marco looked at the hand with a truly troubled face.
“Don’t you know yet? The time has finally come for us to take action! Belphegor has left the western shores, and we have the opportunity to slay all the disgusting demons lurking in the Empire! There are enough demons with ‘cannibalistic’ desires. “It’s not a task to catch them all.”
The high-ranking devil spoke to Marco with a flushed face.
Of course, Marco knew this.
The problem is that Marco is not on the side of the Western Devils right now.
‘Marco was originally on the same side as that devil. But now he has become Satan’s devil. I don’t know the process, but I have a rough idea of the situation.’
Marco must be spinning his head at a tremendous speed right now.
It seems that the high-ranking devil doesn’t know Marco’s situation, so if you do well, it might be possible to escape without the high-ranking devil noticing. Of course it makes your head spin.
“… … Let’s go later. “I have something to finish with this man.”
“what? Now we are going to fulfill the long-held wish of the Western Devils. “I don’t know what to do with that person, but it’s a minor problem!”
It’s not a trivial problem.
Marco looked at Frondier.
Just as Marco had ominously predicted, Frondier was indeed smiling coldly.
“… … It will be over soon. It won’t take long. You know that? “I don’t lie.”
Marco said. His characteristic of ‘not lying’ is also useful in places like this. It can give you trust without the need for many words.
But that depends on the case.
“There devil.”
Frondier finally opened his mouth. At that moment, Marco’s face crumples.
“… … her?”
Of course, the face of a high-ranking devil is also filled with life. There was no way he would tolerate Frondier calling him like a passing dog.
“I left you alive for a short time, so you come forward without knowing the subject, human.”
“You’re the one who doesn’t know the subject, you devil. Like Marco said, he still has business with me. “If you’re going to go out, go out alone.”
Of course, Frontier is in very, very serious trouble if this high-ranking demon is truly extinguished.
But knowing that wouldn’t happen, Frondier did his best to provoke the devil.
“Your subordinates. You should have seen me attack you. They all died like flies. “You will know when you see the corpses here.”
Frondier spread his arms as if to look around. Meanwhile, the high-ranking devil’s murderousness becomes more and more intense.
“If your subordinates are like this, you should know what level their superiors are.”
“Frondier, do you really want to die?”
Marco was quick to react. He spoke as if chewing his molars.
In fact, Frondier was currently walking an unavoidable and dangerous tightrope. Not only was it a threat to my own safety, but there was also a concern that it would be discovered that I was just wasting time.
But before you think like that, Frontier is one step faster.
“You’re the 72 devil, right?”
“… … !”
A high-ranking demon who is surprised by Frondier’s words. At the same time as the question of how he knew that came to mind, those eyes immediately turned their gaze to Marco as if they had realized the answer.
“… … Marcosias. “No matter how human I am, haven’t I said too many useless things?”
“… … It did.”
Frontier smiles there.
It is truly the smile of conversion, and in a way, it is also the most dangerous choice.
“You talk too much. It wasn’t like that. Right? “Marco.”
“… … “What do you mean?”
Marco said in a flirtatious manner, but his fingertips were already stained with aura.
Frondier looked at it and said.
“That wasn’t what you wanted, was it? Marco. “I couldn’t help but say your name.”
Just when I was about to say, “It was Satan’s rule.”
fault!
Marco arrives in front of Frontier in an instant. With flames in both hands, Frondier reached the speed that Aten could not follow with his eyes.
For a split second, there was no space to talk.
Marco just speaks with his eyes. A murderous voice seems to reach Frondier’s ears.
──Shut your mouth. Before I kill you.
Of course, Frondier still responded with a relaxed smile.
──To kill you?
Wow!
Frondier raised his short sword to block Marco’s right hand, and Heukcheon blocked his remaining hand.
Squeak, squeak… … !
Marco’s flame-filled hands were not just filled with flames, but even his powerful aura was a condensed power. It is a strength that goes far beyond the already clumsy blade.
It was a shame because the short sword Frondier was holding was an exceptionally good sword, otherwise it would have melted or shattered in the flames.
A power struggle in which each side confronts the other without retreating.
Of course, there is no reason for these two to face each other and do something like a battle of pride.
The intentions were clear.
“What are you planning?”
Marco spoke in a voice that was barely audible.
Frontier answered.
“You are the easiest key to understanding the devil’s situation, right?”
Marco’s eyes moved very faintly at Frondier’s words.
Accordingly, Frondier continues speaking.
“Seven sins and 72 demons. They may be largely unrelated to each other, but that doesn’t seem to be the case for you. Going back and forth from side to side. Did Satan approach you first?”
“… … .”
silence.
This is a reaction typical of Marco, who does not lie.
“And you seem to be trying to avoid calling that high-ranking demon by his name.”
“… … !”
Marco’s eyes widened slightly.
Frondier took a quick look at the appearance of the high-ranking devil.
“It’s not like I have memorized all 72 demons, and that doesn’t mean much. But you somehow avoid saying that devil’s name.”
The reason is clear.
Because Frontier is here.
And because I don’t want Frondier to know that high-ranking devil’s name.
“The 72 devils and the servants of the seven sins. “You and the name of the 72 devils that you are trying to hide at all costs.”
Frondier does not think that all of his reasoning is correct.
There are several possibilities.
However, there is no such thing as being consumed by ‘watching’.
And Frondier was becoming more confident in his guess as he watched Marco’s reaction.
“Is that guy Bael?”
“… … !”
Among the 72 demons, Bael is called the king of hell.
However, Bael’s other name is ‘Beelzebub.’
“If that is true, then why are Beelzebub of the Seven Sins and Bael of the 72 Demons different demons?”
