“…Well.”
It’s okay.
Being entangled with Li Lu, at least the magic related to the blue demon is full of grass.
With this alone, the desired result has been achieved quickly.
My goal was to fill at least four Magi. I think that is the minimum condition to deal reliably in any situation.
[Then, isn’t it already halfway there? The other day, you were also deeply entangled with that sub-species sister.]
“…That’s kind of vague.”
I said that while looking at the 95% full purple devil’s magic.
It’s a system that allows me to use that demon’s energy. I haven’t deviated from that rule, at least since some of the descriptions of seals were opened.
I don’t know what’s lacking in 5%, but…
＜ Tip! ＞
[ If the Devil’s Bowl feels good towards you, the supply and demand of Magi will be smoother! ]
[ If you don’t like it, there may be difficulties in supply and demand work! ]
My eyes narrow at the window that seemed to float in line with that thought.
It sounds as if this is not enough and the remaining 5% is not made up.
‘…Seras’ side won’t be a problem.’
I think it means that the problem is that Victoria doesn’t have a lot of good feelings.
[So, what’s the problem?]
“…Victoria doesn’t seem to like me very much.”
[Then you can seduce me.]
“…”
[The other party is a woman, and the vessel of the devil. What do you have?]
I hope you don’t tell me to eat because I’m hungry to get people’s deep favor.
[So, is that difficult?]
“…No?”
[…]
“Honestly, it’s not difficult, but right now I feel like you wouldn’t even want to run into me…”
Because in the past, after losing my temper and making me suck my finger, he used to run away if he thought he would run into me.
Even if you want to get along, you need to have some points of contact-
“Ah.”
Suddenly, thinking about that.
I heard a very unpleasant voice in my ear.
“I found it.”
It’s a little, blank voice.
To the level that people you don’t know will even think of your innocence if you listen to it.
However, if you are a person with a better sense, you will feel the ominous creeping up through your skin from the unknown ‘distortion’ that melts underneath.
When I turned my head, I saw a slightly drowsy person with drooping eyes walking towards me with a leisurely pace that matched his voice.
Black hair. Red eye. He has such a graceful appearance that he could be called a nobleman.
“My name is Count Nicholas. Nice to meet you.”
“…”
Before, I met a guy who approached me this way once.
The Marquis of Riverback in Chapter 1 was like that. They tried to trap me by pretending they met me by chance.
This guy is also similar in terms of risk, not inferior to that one.
It’s also the fact that both of them come on their own at a time when they don’t want to meet.
“I was looking for it all along. The academy didn’t really want to let you go. I had a hard time.”
However, if it is different.
Compared to Marquis Riverback, who hides his insidious intentions no matter who sees it, this guy is the type to go straight ahead.
“Let’s talk, Dowd Campbell.”
Looking at the words he yawns with sleepy eyes, it doesn’t seem like he has the slightest idea that this side will refuse.
To be precise, rather than not doing it, he must have come with the intention of ‘forcing’ it.
“Because I brought you a tempting proposal.”
“…”
It is not a trap. It’s not like I’m the type to do that in the first place.
But.
If you follow this guy, I’m sure she’ll have some unpleasant experiences.
‘… Ha ha.’
But.
Nevertheless.
Just smile, and I answer in a cool way.
“…I wonder about that.”
If you’re going to hit me like this, I can’t help but respond.

[…So, is this the guy who killed the most humans in the empire?]
‘Yes. In the first place, how easy it is for a high-ranking aristocrat to be called a butcher in the first place.’
A negative title like that is a huge disgrace even at the family level, so it’s normal to grit your teeth and deny it.
However, this guy is an eccentric who doesn’t even blink an eye even when such a title is circulated on the official line.
Rather than being a geek, I think it’s more accurate to say he’s just a madman.
[…Looks like he’s barely over 20 now. Just looking at his appearance, he’s just a handsome guy who looks a little depressed.]
‘That’s why everyone gets tricked.’
This guy.
The only thing that can be used to rubbish power is human waste to the extent that only the Emperor of the Holy Land can do it.
While chewing on such information, I walk inside El Fante, where the sun is starting to set.
It is a quiet promenade. A cool breeze tickled my ears pleasantly.
On the other hand, it was clear that the coat of arms of Count Nicholas falling from the side had no taste.
“First of all, I have to say that I am sorry.”
“Yes?”
“I try to be as polite as possible, but I am not very patient. Let’s get straight to the point.”
…As expected, it’s the kind of action that’s worthy of a guy who ran into this side without hesitation.
As I was sighing inside, Count Nicholas continued his sentence without delay as he had said.
“There is something you are looking for. Probably around you.”
After saying that, Count Nicholas held out a piece of paper with someone’s impression and bounty written on it.
It is a wanted badge issued by your family, and the person you are looking for is-
[… Hey, this.]
‘…Yes. I can’t recognize it.’
It’s a sloppy weave of impressions, but it’s a picture you can clearly tell who it’s referring to.
This is the appearance of Seras and Victoria while taking the form of beastmen.
“Obviously… That, yes. It’s kind of hard to explain. If you take out the tail or ears here… Aren’t there people around you who look like you?”
There is.
Both of them.
“Okay. I just don’t know how to look at it.”
“Is that so? I heard that there are definitely people who look similar to you around you.”
“…With all due respect, Count. May I ask why you are looking for that?”
Count Nicholas tilted his head.
It looks like you’re asking why you’re asking something that’s really obvious.
“Looks like they’re called the Butcher… That word.”
The answer came back in a blank voice.
“The name didn’t come for nothing. It’s obvious what you’re trying to do to find it, isn’t it?”
“…”
Rage creeps up my spine.
Without blinking an eye, he’s talking about killing these two right in front of me.
“…I would like to hear the reason.”
At least.
I need to know this guy’s motives. The reason why he had to come to me at this moment and directly ask me to put these two out.
“I heard that sub-species are similar to humans, only the race is different, but-“
“…Yes?”
Count Nicholas asked in a slightly bewildered voice.
In the same drowsy mood as before, with a drowsy expression on top.
“…Should I consider that a human?”
-A crazy sentence popped out.
A chilly sensation is lost throughout the body.
“It seems that there are quite a few people who are seduced by that appearance and misunderstood, but they are pests. They are society’s misfits mixed in with the intact and preserved genetics of the superior people of the Empire.”
Somewhere, this is something I heard a lot.
Before entering the world of Savior Rising, an idea worshiped by those who plunged the world into the pit of war.
Eugenics, racism, holocaust, genocide.
And those who have fallen into madness who prop up such insane ideas.
Even at the moment of talking about this madman’s nonsense, Count Nicholas’ eyes are infinitely transparent.
Eyes that can only be possessed by humans who have been infinitely convinced that they have done the right thing throughout their lives.
It would be respectable self-affirmation.
In other words.
‘…A crazy bastard.’
This is a trace of fanaticism that has spread to a terribly deep level.
The eyes of a person who believes that the ‘extermination’ of countless sub-species was the right thing to do.
From noble mtl dot com
No, beyond the right thing.
It is clear on his expression that he is confident that it is a ‘natural thing’.
It’s clear that I’ve never thought about whether it’s bad or good.
Ainjong is not the same person. It is close to pests such as cockroaches and mosquitoes.
Therefore, it is only natural to ‘save’ them.
That kind of logic.
[…What are you saying, bastard?]
Even Caliban inside Soul Linker opened his mouth in a muddy voice.
The first voice I hear since I met this person.
It was a condensation of ‘killing intent’ that made his spine stand up.
It’s such a terrifying atmosphere that I’ve never poured it out even when I met the red devil who killed me.
[So you killed everyone? For reasons that don’t sound like those words?]
Of course, Count Nicholas couldn’t have felt that.
Sentences that made my eyesight flicker in anger just by hearing it poured in one after another.
“It is my mission to exterminate all of these pests so that they do no harm to the Empire. I am saying this because I think you know what an honor it is to ask you directly.”
“…”
If you think about it calmly.
I’d rather be patient here.
“You can rest assured. If they are not sub-species, I will send them back right away.”
“…What if Ainjong is right?”
“As a reward for daring to deceive you, a glorious citizen of the Empire, I will execute you with the utmost pain and all possible torture. You shouldn’t have to worry about that part.”
“…”
Be patient. Clearly.
“Especially these… Two.”
I meditate as I see Nicholas sweeping his forehead with an expression that makes him annoyed just thinking about it.
You shouldn’t have an accident.
“It’s because I have the most venomous parents as parents among the sub-species I met during the eradication work. I asked them where they hid them as they mashed each limb, but in the end, they did not give an answer.”
“…”
“They set the whole village on fire and killed everyone, regardless of gender or age. I just missed these two. It must have been bad weather that day, Won.”
It’s the tone of saying that I was pissed when the menu I didn’t like came out this morning. He speaks like he’s complaining.
“At that time, since we were both children, we were afraid that if we used the corpse of our parents as bait, we would be dragged out, so we put our heads in the square. There was no fishing there either.”
“…”
“Usually, when young sub-species do that, they cry and run out, saying “Mom, dad,” And so on. I caught and killed a lot with it.”
“…”
“It seems that he is born with the talent to keep his tough life alive. It is hideous.”
Count Nicholas is the person with the highest authority in the Council of Elders, except for the Marquis Bogart and his secretary role, Count Revel.
The moment I touched the emperor and the chancellor at the same time, it was a major accident that would not be strange even if it went straight to civil war politically.
There is a high probability that the main villain in the next main scenario will be this guy. I have to run into it here to increase the probability that it will go in a bad direction unlike the previous times.
You just have to wait a bit. Until you can make sure you’re prepared and you can crush this guy. Surely the time will come.
“…”
I know.
I know.
‘Caliban.’
[…Uh.]
Caliban replies with a voice mixed with laughter.
Yes.
As expected, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen it, so if you pretend, you’re good.
[Loading?]
‘Please.’
While having such a conversation, Count Nicholas rolled up the wanted badge he had handed out to me and put it back into his arms.
Your mouth is still talking crazy.
“It’s a shame you don’t know. They are tough, so I need to catch them as soon as possible-“
“Count Nicholas. I’m sorry during the talk.”
Says with a smile.
“Could you shut up?”
“…”
Count Nicholas was silent.
I feel like that dazed face is getting more dazed.
“…Yes?”
“No, just.”
I headed there and continued talking with a bigger smile than before.
And.
The seal engraved on my chest shines in deep blue.
＜ System Message ＞
[ Consumes the magic of the ‘Blue Devil’! ]
[ Duplicates the target’s power ‘Crush’! ]
“Because I don’t want to give you much of a will.”
The next moment.
My fist, surrounded by blue magic, hit Count Nicholas’ face.

Yes, punch that sh!t!
At the end of the chapter my thoughts were satisfaction at it peak
