It Is Fate To Be Loved by the Villains chapter 27

27. Purifier

●

“…de! Dowd! Are you okay!”

I hear a voice calling me like that from beyond my distant consciousness.

Then I feel a hand pulling me out from the rubble of the collapsed building.

Dust and broken stones tumble down from near my body.

“…Elnor?”

As I was dragged out with a chuckle, I met eyes with Elnor, who was looking at me with a worried look.

“you…!”

Elnor’s eyes shook as he fully confirmed my appearance.

uh. He’s probably pretty injured.

Of course it was, as they were helplessly crushed by a collapsed building.

“…”

As soon as the desperation doesn’t explode, it’s like this.

It’s a fact I’ve confirmed in the mock dungeon before, but the skill only reacts to attacks that are trying to kill me with ‘hostility’.

If it was simply a building collapsing in the aftermath of the impact, what was thrown into that situation was Daud Campbell, an all-stat F with no stat buffs.

‘Fractures, bruises on the head, several broken joints…’

My eyesight is shaking. Warm liquid runs down the face near the forehead, the movement of the limbs is uncomfortable, and extreme dizziness is also accompanied.

“…after.”

okay. Originally, this is not normal.

Allstat F is a human with bug-like abilities that can die very easily like this. Bondi is worth just that much.

〚…This is amazing.〛

Looking up at the sky with a shaky sight, there was the Marquis Riverback, whose body was already mutated, floating in the air.

The essence of the demon he swallowed earlier is lodged in the middle of his chest and is beating like a heart.

The demonic energy flowing out of it wriggling and wrapped around the body like armor is already far away from humans.

abomination.

There is no other way to express it other than that.

〚I wondered if there would ever be a situation where I could use even this, just in case the Precursor took care of it just in case.〛

He grinned and looked down at me and Elnor.

〚I’ll admit it. You were a more troublesome opponent than I thought. 〛

The guy who said that floated up to a slightly higher place.

〚But I wonder if you can handle this too?〛

okay.

I’m curious too, you bastard.

‘…From the first chapter, it’s a Mine.’

There is nothing like the world’s crap.

I sighed inwardly and looked at the Marquis Riverback who flew away with a swish. It’s a speed you can’t even think of catching up to.

Originally, the ‘corrupted power’ that Marquis Riverback should have used is generally a by-product of the devil.

It’s a power that was researched at the human level to mimic that side’s power as crudely as possible.

On the other hand, ‘Essence of the Devil’.

They are items that contain the ‘remnants’ of the devil. If you ingest it and become a demon, you will be able to use that side’s power as it is, even if it’s only a small part.

For example.

-!

-!!!

Elnor’s expression hardened at the objects suddenly protruding from the rubble of the collapsed building.

Even the human form has been lost now, and it is in a grotesque form, like a piece of melted meat.

Its appearance, as if scratching an iron plate, shows that it will treat all living things that stand out in its surroundings with hostility.

“Hee, hee!”

“What is that…!”

And the people who gathered here because they wanted something like this in a large-scale accident where a building suddenly collapsed, seeing it, everyone turned blue and started running away.

‘…that’s not good.’

Demonic power tends to change the creatures it touches closer to those of ‘Pandaemonium’, the stronghold of demons, simply by scattering demonic energy around them.

And now these are the demon worshipers Elnor cut down earlier.

Under the influence of Marquis Riverback, who turned into a demon, he transforms into ‘Man Eater’, the lowest-ranking janitor of Pandaemonium.

As befits a creature of Pandemonium, a demonic realm comparable to the Underworld, their fighting power is threatening, but what’s more troublesome than that is that humans who die to these guys will be resurrected as Man Eaters.

It’s a chain reaction. It’s like a zombie apocalypse.

There, now, our current location is downtown. In a place with a lot of floating population, civilians are crowded around now due to the Full Moon Festival.

It’s the worst time in the worst place.

[ Main Quest ]〖 Chapter 1 – Purifier 〗

[Repel the ‘Purifier’! ]

[ If there are too many casualties, it’s game over! ]

[ Reward: 1 Evil Essence ]

[ Reward: 1 Hero Fragment ]

[ Reward: 5,000pt ]

And in that situation, a damn quest that didn’t disappoint me this time came up in front of my eyes.

Reducing the number of casualties here is an order that is not even a joke.

-!

-!!

Then, after all the transformations were completed, a blow like a flash of light suddenly landed on the screaming Man Eaters.

A standard blow using a long spear. Several Man Eaters who tried to stand up were pierced by it and flew away.

“older brother! What the hell is this…!”

As I wiped the blood from my forehead, I saw Talion running toward me from a distance.

Was this guy the one who just fired the blow?

“I heard a roar, so I came to see what the hell was going on! What are those monsters, Marquis Riverback…!”

okay. It’s a nice face to see in this situation.

Originally, around this time, this guy should also have fallen and become something similar to that one.

“If you were wearing a necklace, you would look the same as that one.”

“…Yes?”

Instead of answering, he points his finger at one of the Maneaters.

What anyone can see coming out of the necklace of the House of Jeonghwa Foundation, which is still hanging, is black magic.

Originally, it would end with just losing a bit of reason, but now it’s like crossing a river of no return due to the appearance of demons.

Seeing this, Talion’s eyes widened.

“…This.”

After saying that, the guy’s expression changed every second.

Perhaps, in an instant, he will calmly organize what the current situation is like.

“I will check one thing.”

“What.”

“…Is the situation led by the Marquis of Riverback?”

name is missing It’s a question about the shape, but it seems that he’s already convinced to some extent.

In the first place, while turning that necklace, I would have emphasized ‘make sure to wear it’ several times on a regular basis.

I looked at Talion with a smile and anger in his eyes.

This guy is no jerk.

Because the original planning intention itself was designed to be Elijah’s rival. The ability to judge and act in an emergency situation is no longer at the level of a student.

“It’s okay to discuss responsibility and wrongdoing later. Now, if we don’t deal with that, hell will open here.”

I somehow organize my shaking gaze and convey it like that.

And, if you bought ‘trust’ by deliberately taking off that guy’s necklace.

It’s time to make the most of those advantages.

“Listen to me. If you make even one mistake, it’s the end.”

And release the instructions.

The expression of the guy who heard it was serious at first, then it went through absurdity, and in the end he was looking at me with the gaze of a madman.

“…That, is it even possible?”

“uh.”

it becomes unconditional

It’s not that I’ve been running all over the place until my feet are on fire.

If you can’t do that much, you can’t.

“Then, in the meantime, brother…?”

“I’m going to take care of something else.”

‘There are two goals.’

The first is to prevent civilian casualties in the current area.

The movements of the Man Eaters are still sluggish, but as time passes and the demonic energy grows thicker, they will become faster and stronger.

Most of the ‘instructions’ I just gave to Talion are to block them.

And the second goal.

“Because we have to remove the source.”

Eliminate the Marquis of Riverback, the person who sowed the demonic energy.

that’s what i’m going to do from now on

“Do you know where he went?”

Elnor asked in a quiet voice.

It might be a question of how to chase after the guy who flew away at high speed.

“Yes, what. Expectations go.”

Should I say it’s predictable?

Actually, there is only one.

●

Merchants are always quick-witted.

If you ask why Marquis Galdire Riverback became a devil worshiper, that was the most fundamental answer.

Even though he had risen from a mere black market merchant to the position of a marquis, enjoying wealth and honor previously unimaginable. It was all a secondary reason he became a devil worshiper.

‘Their power reaches all over the continent.’

Without having to go to the seers who couldn’t even hear their voices, let alone see them, all the devil’s “followers” he met were equipped with formidable power.

Among them, the power of the ‘revealed ones’, who are the closest assistants to the pioneers, is literally boiling the sea, breaking the earth, and splitting the heavens.

Compared to them, he is a human like a bug. The reason he survived for so long must have been because he always reminded himself of that fact.

It was after confirming that that he decided to stand on their side without hesitation.

It must have been the result of the quick calculation unique to merchants, that no one on the continent would dare to stand against them.

And the Marquis of Riverback.

none other than now. I felt confident that my choice was never wrong.

〚Whoa…〛

A sigh filled with omnipotence escaped his mouth.

A huge amount of demonic energy seething throughout the body.

It was an overwhelming force that seemed to be able to crush weak creatures with just pressure.

It is this much power even though he has accepted very little of the grace of the ‘new god’ who is just a demon.

〚At this level…〛

It’s just a mission, so it’s not too difficult.

In order to resurrect the devil, despair and confusion must first be caused in each place.

Kill people, kill people, and cover them with bodies again.

I should be able to commit to that right now.

The place he is now arriving is also for that purpose.

〚Keep in.〛

He muttered as he reached out his hand to the ‘barrier’ in front of him.

A protective barrier near the void area said to have been set up by a chiangel.

Normally, it would be a place that would be heavily guarded, and even if you break through it, you wouldn’t even dare to damage it.

Since it was during the Full Moon Festival, it was easy to break through, and he now possesses the devil’s power directly.

Even if you can’t break it all, it’s possible to put a very small scratch on it.

And, considering the specificity of the Void Zone.

That alone would lead to a catastrophe that I do not want to even imagine.

‘…After all, this is the key.’

The riots going on in the city right now are nothing more than a smoke screen operation.

Probably all available armed forces are concentrated there.

The real purpose is only here.

“OK. stop moving.”

Unfortunately.

Not everyone seemed to be an idiot, though.

●

[…How did know?=

Marquis Riverback, who was trying to damage the barrier, said so in a hard voice.

“You know, I said it earlier. It’s obvious.”

What should Marquis Riverback say?

It’s a single cell that thinks it’s smart.

Because they want to feel superior to others. I try to ‘deceive’ others first.

‘…Isn’t that an idiot?’

To be honest, I don’t see anything as inefficient as that.

If I just controlled the Maneaters and pushed in this way as quickly as possible, it would be certain that the barrier would be damaged somehow in the first place.

“…”

However, thanks to that, this opportunity also arises.

The part I will stab into is that kind of vanity and conceit.

Organize your plan in your head.

I wouldn’t have even dreamed of it if there were Man Eaters standing in my way, but now I’m in a situation where I can only deal with him completely.

“So, dear.”

I feel it all over again, but one of Elnor’s greatest strengths is his boundless physical ability.

It’s like the fact that I was lifted on my back and moved across this street in an instant.

“What is the plan?”

Elnor, who carried me to this place without a word at my request, put me on the floor and said so.

What is in your eyes is solid trust.

“There must be a reason why we decided to drop all support and move this way just the two of us.”

“What, is that so?”

It’s because time is running out.

I can’t even afford to call someone else. The moment that guy creates even a small gap in the barrier here, the game is over.

People will die, Elnor will be kidnapped right away, and the gray demon will be freed.

It’s straight to the bad ending.

Rather than that, it would be better if only me and Elnor came to see the decision.

“okay. So how do I beat that guy…”

“I can’t win.”

Elnor’s eyes narrowed.

“…what?”

“The two of us can’t win. never.”

uh. It really is.

To deal with Mine, you need Elijah equipped with a ‘Holy Sword’ to be able to deal with him stably.

But that, at least, is something that will only be dealt with after Chapter 4. What I expect now is a level without conscience.

In other words, the other person has no conscience as much.

It’s the final boss, but it’s an opponent that I can’t even match with Elnor, who has not reached half of his growth, and I’m seriously injured.

“…”

However.

If there is a corner to believe in, there is a lot of it.

– I was bitten by something terrible. I can’t even see the full form, but I know it’s fucking awful. I think it stuck because of your abilities.

Suddenly, I remember those words. Angels have warned you like that before.

okay. I know.

I know quite well what ‘sticks’ to me.

＜System Message＞

[ The target ‘???’ is interested in you. ]

I laugh while looking at the sentences in the system log.

as well as this

＜ Notification of gift-related person ＞

♥ Elnor Elinalize La Tristan

[Dearness level 1]

[‘Skill Copy Ticket’ is available! ]

The last reason is this.

The level of liking at the ‘endearing’ stage. And skill copy.

maybe use this

At the current level, even if it’s an enemy you can’t beat, you can somehow deal with it.

While thinking so, Marquis Riverback sighed and raised his demonic energy.

〚…Well, no matter what. 〛

Then, the reverberation of demonic energy like a storm began to leak from the guy.

It is a level of density where you can physically see the swaying aura, and if you lose your mind even a little, you will pass out.

What’s absurd is that this isn’t a full-fledged release of demonic energy – it’s just a ‘premonitory symptom’ of an attack.

〚All I have to do is kill you and secure Princess Tristan. rather it went well. Because you came right in front of me. Didn’t it save you the trouble of finding it later? 〛

We will fight this guy from now on.

Taking a deep breath, I spoke to Elnor.

“Elnor. Promise me one thing.”

“Something.”

“Really, it hurts. Painful. You may resent me…”

“What did you ask?”

At first glance, it may sound like an annoyance to speak quickly.

Anyone who looked into those straight eyes would give a slightly different answer.

Whatever you say is fine.

I’ve already accepted it, so don’t worry and tell me.

That’s what it means.

“…”

smile inside

As always.

The level of trust this person places in me is not adaptable.

So, I must live up to that trust.

“No matter what happens. certainly.”

Respond with direct eye contact.

“I will send the two of us alive from this spot. Got it?”

“okay. I see.”

“so.”

He looked away from Elnor and turned to the Marquis of Riverback.

“No matter what happens, trust me.”

uh. really.

What I’m going to do now is pretty crazy.

while thinking so.

As if a tsunami was approaching, Marquis Riverback rushed towards us.
