175. Either way
“Where is the soul of Magan, who just died?”
An enigmatic question.
Deius’ body trembled and he felt the shock as if his identity had already been penetrated.
What will happen if I say something wrong here?
Will they really let themselves go?
I couldn’t help but feel greedy even though I had many thoughts.
If she really is a demon.
Couldn’t she bring herself back to life?
Demons in legends and fairy tales often grant human wishes.
“Now, answer me.”
At the secretary’s question, Deius took a slow, deep breath. He couldn’t figure out the answer.
How could he know where Magan’s soul was? The moment your head gets hot and you want to spit out an answer that you don’t know.
From noble mtl dot com
The throbbing in his right hand made him shut up. Even the great Kim Shin-woo, the great devil who could not kill even though he risked his life.
Even though they met each other using a jewel called Remegeton, a few days later, they smiled casually and asked for a handshake.
‘Did he really die that easily?’
The Great Demon Magan?
I could still feel his eerie grin weighing down on me. His empty right hand was telling him the correct answer.
“No.”
Others wondered what he was saying at the casual remark, but the secretary’s eyes tremble slightly.
“The soul of Magan is not here.”
Deia, who read the trembling eyes, stood next to Deius. He was empowering his opinion.
Deia could not see the soul, but Deia came to the same conclusion.
“Because he is not dead.”
There was power in the resolute declaration. I already spit it out anyway. Even if this wasn’t the right answer, I needed to be confident as if it were the right answer.
Those who don’t know that Magan is the Great Evil check the body of Magan again with a puzzled expression.
His corpse was still in a strewn state, but he had a miserable appearance.
The moment the secretary’s mouth twists and glares at him with feelings of humiliation.
“Huh, heh heh heh!”
Lights rang out in the darkness. Indeed, the sound of laughter, which contained great joy, rather gave anxiety to everyone.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! Okay! Yes! You are Deus Verdi! It has to be!”
The other side of the secretary.
The voice that echoed in the darkness belonged to a man everyone already knew.
Commander Magan.
Hidden in the dark where light can’t reach, he continued to laugh.
“That way, I will feel that taste of you again! Only then will I be able to eat you, a special delicacy!”
Truly, the Great Devil was delighted. He was convinced that Deus Verdi was real.
“Is it because the right hand has been cut off that the momentum and atmosphere have softened? You are human! Truly human! That makes it even more delicious!”
“… ….”
“There is nothing more special than a person who carries karma, overcomes hardships, and has stronger convictions.”
Hung!
As the strong wind blows, the white light created by the holy woman’s divine power disappears and a thick darkness covers.
“It bothers me, saint.”
The moment the divine power disappears, notice that the magican is moving.
Deia urgently tried to shout to protect Lucia, but it was too late.
“Billion!”
With Lucia’s scream, the flame rises again and lights up her surroundings.
But this time, instead of white flames created by divine power, they were purple sparks created by Magan.
Standing in front of the rising flame was Margan holding the fallen Lucia in her arms.
Seeing that, Tyreon hurriedly waved her staff and rushed to hear it.
“Shhh.”
She couldn’t help but stop when she saw the hand of her forehead wrapped around Lucia’s neck.
“The slightest movement will break it.”
Magan’s long tongue giggling and licking the cheek of the fainting saintess.
“Do, how on earth?”
“What is this situation!”
“The president is dead… ….”
People are perplexed when they see the living president.
The secretary calms them down and steps forward.
“Now, this is the substitute I was talking about. Even if all of you die here, we can make dolls that look the same and send them out.”
“A doll?”
“You’re crazy.”
“Did anyone doubt that Magan, who was announcing the start of the banquet earlier, was a fake?”
A word from the secretary that puts the criticism to rest at once. That was right.
I don’t know how, but I didn’t notice until they told me that the assassinated Magan was fake.
If they die here.
What if fakes made in the Clark Republic go back to their respective countries?
The sound of swallowing came loudly.
The giants who have considerable influence in their respective countries. It was dizzying to imagine what would happen if they became fakes loyal to the Clark Republic.
“Can you judge the situation now? We’re giving you a chance. Will you become cold food for bugs here, or will you survive for now?”
The identity of the crawling things heard earlier is revealed. The moment the holy woman’s divine power disappeared, hundreds of insects passed by her feet.
They were crawling excitedly, wanting to eat humans right away.
“What must I do to survive?”
Zordia of the German Kingdom raised her hand and asked. Others gave him reproachful glances at his question, but he remained aloof.
“You are wise as well, God of the desert. Do you remember the beginning of the year that we gave before the banquet?”
“You mean drugs.”
“Whoops, it’s legal in the Clark Republic. Well, it’s different from what’s on the market.”
The secretary slowly took out the tobacco from her bosom.
“You can smoke this. Then you will have no choice but to follow our orders. That too, very happy!”
Even Joordia’s eyes fluttered at the fact that it was said to control the mind, but the exclamation came from somewhere else.
“Now, wait a minute. Early in the year?”
Tom, the shield of the Principality of Ballestan who was the only one who smoked tobacco in this place, looks around his body in embarrassment.
Seeing that, the secretary smiles and stretches out his hand.
“Aha, let’s see how it goes.”
Tak!
With one flick of the hand, Tom’s expression gradually changes to a calmer one. He slowly lowers his head, then lets out a laugh.
“That is absurd. Why was i so upset It was stupid.”
“Tom?”
When the heir to the duchy carefully calls out to Tom, Tom smiles brightly and spreads his hands.
“This was it! This is what I have been looking for all my life! Oh, why were you afraid! What a pleasure!”
“Sat, Tom?”
“There is nothing to be afraid of. Ah, why was I so embarrassed, now I’m even ashamed.”
Tom is happy with a bright smile. He wasn’t the same person he was just before. That was definitely Tom, and he was genuinely happy too.
“Tom! Wake!”
At the cry of the heir, Tom rather shrugs his shoulders.
“I am sane. I just realized the truth and the truth. Alas, I feel that my life has been foolish indeed.”
A sudden change in Tom.
Obviously, other people did not like such a change.
On the contrary, the secretary smiled and suggested it.
“Now, would you like to smoke a cigarette and join us? Or will you die cold here and become food for bugs?”
An alternative to the devil that was pushed out.
The quiet interior of the banquet hall where only the sound of insects crawling echoes. It was Hanso, an old woman from an empire, who walked toward the secretary first.
“A body that will die of old age anyway. I may be able to take revenge on the empire that used words that abandoned me, who was once called a god of war.”
“Hanso!”
“How could you!”
An empire’s delegation criticized Hanso, but the stooped old man stood in front of his secretary without hesitation.
The secretary hands you a cigarette with a smile.
“Welcome.”
“Ah.”
Hanso’s hand, which was heading toward the beginning of the year, rises even higher.
Cuckoo!
In an instant, he clenched his fists and hit the secretary’s chin with precision.
“Where are you testing my loyalty!”
Hanso continuously strikes the floating secretary’s body. A delegation from an empire, who thought he had changed his mind, actually risked his life against him, and let out cheers.
Hanso, the god of war, realizes that now is his peak period, and that it is the time to ignite the flame of his dying life for the last time.
Hwangwang Banjo.
For now, he was showing off the momentum of the past when he was called a god of war.
Kwaduk!
Seeing the bugs flying at his feet eating his flesh, he bites his lip.
Quang!
I hit the floor violently and pushed it through mana and wind pressure.
“…… !”
Only a few were pushed back, and more bugs attacked his body from behind.
“Ah, ah ah ah!”
Burning screams and gushing blood. The secretary strokes his chin and frowns.
“The old man is strong.”
Quad Deuk!
The secretary’s hand stabbed like a spear into Hanso’s heart, which had been attacked by insects.
The life of a man who once conquered the times and was called a god of war ended in vain.
Become food for insects, so that even the body cannot be found.
“Okay, kill the entire empire.”
The first to move at those words was Tom of the Principality of Ballestan. He rushed right to the secretary’s words and tore the envoy of an empire to death.
Its gigantic size was indeed suitable for being called a bear, and so was the fighting style it displayed.
Even in the midst of the massacre, others could not move recklessly.
The secretary’s eyes were glaring at them, telling them to move.
Medusa’s eyes turned to stone when they faced each other.
And after a while.
The worms that ate all the people in an empire gradually took on a human form.
From Hanso, a warrior who died in the struggle, to other delegations.
The secretary smiles and points at them.
“Now, have you seen it? Whatever you choose, we don’t care. In the end, it’s going to go the way you want it to.”
Why are you still giving me this alternative?
It was because they were demons with a nature that wanted to play with humans.
“I can’t help but think that way.”
A quiet woman’s voice breaks the calm atmosphere. Standing between her brothers, Deia’s pupils straighten out and reach the secretary.
“Because you are demons. So it would seem that they go through such complicated procedures in order to play with humans.”
“… ….”
“Do you really think you put similar values on the scales? From what I can see, you guys want us to smoke that tobacco.”
The option to die unconditionally and the option to abandon humanity and live at least.
But if you dig a little deeper, it can be seen in a different way.
I don’t know how my mind is controlled when I smoke, but I have a future anyway.
It may be possible for each person to return to their home country later for treatment.
In fact, the act of smoking was to abandon oneself in hopes of such a future.
Hope.
With such a hope that somehow, if I leave this place alive, something will change.
They were implicitly urging people to smoke, and in fact, they thought that most people would lose their lives now and not be able to send improbable fakes back to their country.
Deia’s finger points at an impassive envoy of an empire standing there.
“Isn’t that because there is something wrong with them? Is not it?”
“After.”
“Pretend it’s either/or, but in reality you just want to do things the way you want them to.”
The corners of the secretary’s mouth, which had been going up all along, came down slowly, very slowly.
“Your brother and sister are annoying.”
SHINWOOO WHERE ARE UUUUU
Annoying Duo lmao 🤣
