53 – Spiral Palace (4)
Sniff── Sniff───.
The streets of Darkana, the capital of Lyriam, with dark clouds covering the blue sky as if the world was ending.
I could not hear the laughter of children or the shouts of merchants. In the middle of the street, where only silence and silence boasts of itself. A woman’s terrifying cries are heard.
“… Cecil. I’m going to stop crying now. “It’s really nothing to cry about, is it?”
Ugh──.
The brown-haired woman, who was lying on his back and burying her head in tears like a child, only sniffed her nose once and nuzzled her cheek against her husband’s back despite his words.
Julius took a deep breath at the adorable, yet foolish look of her, and then hurried her steps, smelling the sweet scent of milk rising from behind him.
What on earth happened earlier to cause the legendary great devil to commit such a disgraceful act on the back of a priest?
aaahhh───.
As the dark central church began to reveal itself from beyond, Julius began to lash out at her as if he was angry, telling her about what had happened in front of the royal palace where they had gone for a date by the lake. It was just a desperate attempt to appease his wife.
I smiled faintly at the comical appearance of Cecil that was so powerful that it was etched in my mind only when I saw it in the capital city in the middle of the day.
.
.
.
“… What on earth is this?”
5 Years under Priest Brukin and Priest Emily.
He came to the capital, walked the path of asceticism, and worked as a heresy interrogator for 10 years.
Julius has encountered countless strange and bizarre scenes while dealing with demons and heretics for a total of 15 years.
However, even he could only swallow his sleep as he saw the ominous sight of the royal palace unfolding before his eyes.
“Yuck. What is this fishy smell? Julius, look over there! “Gross tentacles are wriggling!”
Although it was not flashy, the royal palace of Lyriam, which had always shown the people the dignity of the royal family with its elegant and neat appearance, was now being wrapped around by huge tentacles and dyed dark red, and in front of it was a man with brown hair. The devil was just covering his nose, frowning, and babbling at my husband.
“… Is this also the work of the devil?”
The royal palace in the middle of Darkana, where the headquarters of the Church of Telmere is stationed, has fallen to the devil.
At this unprecedented and blasphemous situation that should not have happened, Julius frowned and looked closely at the main gate of the palace, which was tightly sealed by tentacles.
Wiggle── Wiggle─── Puck!
The dark red tentacle, which was pulsating as if it were alive and breathing, suddenly burst out into pieces of flesh like a boil, as if it felt Julius’ gaze, and countless eyes were embroidered on its body.
While looking at this bizarre scene, the blond-haired interrogator, who was looking at it with a mask-like expressionlessness, made eye contact with the tentacle.
“… ….”
-… ….
“Where does such an insignificant creature turn its eyes?”
-… ….
Tentacles wrapped around the main gate, proudly rolling their eyes in front of the legendary inquisitor who had broken the bones of countless demons and heretics.
In that way, the eyes of the interrogator and the unidentified creature reflected each other for a while.
Julius, who did not like that arrogant look in his eyes, drew a golden glow from his heart and smashed the dirty tentacle’s eyes through the main gate of the palace.
──Bang!
“Tsk, Cecil! Come here quickly. “I have to go in and find out what happened…”
Julius, standing in front of the main gate, which was completely destroyed by the power of Tapnel [Gold], Called out to his wife, who was touching the tentacles climbing the wall of the palace from afar with a tree branch, and called out to Lyriam, who had been taken over by the devil. Walked to the center of
Degurur──.
No, I was trying to move it.
“… A dirty devil would dare do something like this.”
Something round and round rolled at the feet of Julius, who was trying to enter the interior of the palace beyond the broken main gate.
No, the woman’s head, filled with red, sticky flesh where her eyeballs should have been, slowly rolled in front of him and settled on the floor.
It’s as if they won’t allow you to step in anymore.
“It really stinks. “Even now, 2,000 years later, I still don’t understand that girl’s tastes.”
Cecile frowned and shook her head as she looked at the ugly severed head that had suddenly come to his side and placed where the front door had been.
“Do you know who the devil is who committed such a low-level act?”
“Hmm, of course I know. My name is Cecil! The eldest of all Voids and the true Queen of the 24 Great Demons! “There is no way there exists a high-ranking devil that I don’t know about.”
Cecil shrugs her shoulders and starts chattering smugly, like a child who suddenly realizes something she knows and raises her hand and starts chattering without being asked.
You might get tired of seeing her like that. Julius Tapnel, a man with blond hair, relaxed his face, which had been distorted as if he were a devil, and nodded leisurely.
‘As expected, Cecil is cute.’
They say couples look alike, but it seems like both Cecil and Julius are insane.
“Then tell me. “The name of the evil one who swallowed Darkana’s royal power by using wicked and low-level tricks without even knowing how to use it.”
“With bare mouth?”
Of course, his expression, which he thought was going to be the devil’s name flowing out of her mouth, slowly became tinged with despair, and Cecile, who had begun to take on a bewitching aura as she looked at Julius, slowly approached him step by step and gently- I kissed Julius on the lips and whispered softly.
“If you want, I will tell you who the culprits who caused this situation are. Instead, I would like you to do me a favor.”
“… What do you mean?”
For a moment, he became anxious at the thought that she was going to go crazy talking about having a second child again, but at the simple wish that came out of her mouth, Julius felt his heart relax.
“It’s okay just once. “Tell me you love me like you used to.”
“… Is that really all it is?”
“Don’t use such old-fashioned language. Just like the old days.”
Because the capital is a place where memories with you reside. I really want to hear it.
After saying that, the devil, whose cheeks were blushing shyly, as if she was embarrassed by what she said, fluttered the hem of her pale brown skirt, and just took a few steps away from him and lowered her head.
Her appearance reminded me of her as an innocent girl, before she truly blossomed into the woman she was.
Since that day five years ago, Julius, who had always lived with an old-fashioned and stiff tone of voice, ended up confessing his love to his extremely cute wife like he did when he was a boy.
“… I love you. “More than any other woman in the world.”
“… ….”
“… ….”
“… Is that the end?”
“That’s the end.”
“Po, what about kiss? What makes the wind blow in your ears? “In the past, it didn’t end with just one word, so why does it end with ‘I love you’ now?”
I was hoping for a tickling yet sweet atmosphere like when I was a boy and girl, and even my big eyes were tightly shut – the devil’s expectations were shattered.
Julius, who had been looking at her as if she were bewildered, tilted her head to the side and calmly spoke to the demon who was running around in anger.
“No matter what.”
“No matter what! This is invalid. Again! “Do it again!”
“Any man in the world.”
“… ….”
“You do something like that in a place where people’s heads are rolling around.”
Cecil, who had become mute at the surprisingly perfect conclusion, paused with a tap on her shoulder.
The devil’s cheeks slowly turn red as he remembers the surroundings, where tentacles resembling internal organs are swarming and human heads are rolling around.
“…Hyoya.”
“What are you talking about?”
“This is invalid. “Do it again later when it’s just the two of us.”
“… ….”
A sigh comes out of his mouth at this devilish, if devil-like, death.
The devil, who couldn’t understand the atmosphere and was trying to show off his love in a masculine manner, even used magic to cool down my red cheeks, which were about to explode, and then began to talk calmly again.
“Hmm, anyway. I don’t know what happened in the capital to cause this. “There are at least two high-ranking demons occupying the capital city now.”
“Can’t you tell exactly how long it is in the capital?”
As if the skit before had been nothing more than a mirage, I looked at Julius, who was once again asking a question to the devil with a serious expression. Before she was his wife, she was the head of the 24 great devils. She opened her mouth as Nir Hill and slowly shook her head.
“No, I don’t know exactly. Unlike Lanahil, who lived alone in one large city, there are now many powerful high-ranking demons other than me in the capital. “They are so close that their energies are mixed together, so it is impossible to accurately identify everyone.”
Nirhil, a high-ranking demon, begins to explain his incompetence to the point of verbosity.
Julius, who was looking at his wife from afar, who was always making excuses instead of saying that she couldn’t do anything, nodded his head towards her with a faint smile on her lips.
“In the end, isn’t that just saying you don’t know? From now on, it’s okay to just say ‘I don’t know’. “Cecil.”
“… No, it’s not that I don’t know, it’s that it’s really an unavoidable situation!”
From Noble mtl dot com
Cecil begins to scream at him, who is looking at her pitifully.
Looking at them performing such a ridiculous skit, ‘it’ slowly began to open its heavy mouth.
-This is the royal castle of the great Lyriam. Please, please keep your health.
“……?”
“……?”
A captivating and sweet woman’s voice is heard next to them as they argue.
Cecil and Julius’ heads slowly turned to the side as they felt their bodies tremble. They had to see it.
Unusual pieces of bright red flesh, like internal organs, were forcibly stuck where the eyeballs should be, the neck was torn roughly as if the whole body had been torn apart by something resembling the fangs of an animal, and finally, there were traces of blood. Even the dry, twisted mouth that is stuck together.
Just now, looking at the head of a woman whose appearance was so hideous that it was hard to believe it was where that elegant voice came from, the devil and the priest tilted her head once and said this.
“Is your head talking?”
“Your head speaks.”
-… ….
A surprisingly similar, incredibly dry statement.
Disappointed that the response was not what she expected, the head of her head began to wriggle the pieces of flesh lodged in her eye sockets, creating a bizarre appearance. Cecile, who was hiding behind her husband, was horrified by the extremely disgusting sight and started making noises. A princess with terrible taste. No, she was starting to see Arnhill’s scars.
“You saw it, didn’t you? Are you saying that not all devils are the same? Arnhil Look at what that b*tch is doing. “How can you think of someone’s life as worthless than a fly?”
-Are you just like the older sister who falls in love with one guy and does all sorts of dirty things?
“Sister? Why am I your sister! I am Julius’ wife and the mother of our lovely Leila! Who is the sister of a b*tch like you? Dang!”
-Ha! It’s really too much to do. Still, I have a fondness for spending 2,000 years together. Did you go crazy after tasting the man?
“I haven’t tasted it yet! “I plan to see you again soon!”
-…… Oh yeah.
A comical yet playful conversation, as if it were between sisters who met each other after a long time.
If the two were really sisters who were related by blood, they would have been looking at this with a happy expression, but unfortunately, one of them was the first great evil, and the other was a very disgusting head.
Julius, who was watching this closely, slowly opened his mouth as he looked at the strange being that was twitching its mouth at his feet.
“Head, reveal your identity.”
-… As I said before, this place is in front of the royal castle, the heart of Darkana, the capital of the great Lyriam. I hope that you will maintain the appropriate level of discipline. Heresy Inquisitor Julius Tapnel.
The devil, who had returned to speaking in an elegant yet dignified royal-like tone, rather than the light tone used when talking to Cecil, answered him with a wry smile, and the strongest Heretic Questioner, who was looking at him, said, I stepped on the head that was smiling arrogantly in front of me with my shoe.
“Unfortunately. It’s because he doesn’t have anything to show off to a severed head. There is no need for long words. “Hurry up and say your miserable name.”
-hehehehe. Surely. Just as I heard from Erman, he is a man who is ruthless to the point of being honest. Yes, you should let me know that you want it so much. I am a demon who opened my eyes for the third time in the void and devoured all the desires of the world. The name is…
“As I said before, his name is Arnhill. And the name of the tentacle that is devouring the Jogi palace is Ketyahil.”
Squishy Desire Arnhill.
She always sets the tone for humans and likes to show that she is both great and fearsome. From Cecile’s mouth, unable to see her behavior, the names of the demons who devoured the royal palace and stole the princess’s name came out. It leaked out one after another.
-… How dare a priest’s wife interfere with the words of a noble princess? This sin. I deserve to die….
“Heh, you were so jealous of my speaking style when I was a devil. Yes, I must be very dignified. “I understand you’re jealous.”
-… ….
It is certainly a bizarre, creepy and ominous sight, with dark red tentacles wrapping around the royal castle and a head with its eyes ripped out and its mouth opening. Every time the woman’s mouth opens, her brown hair flutters and her sharp nose twitches. A comical atmosphere spread throughout the world.
-Ha, I don’t know anymore. It’s no longer fun.
“If you’re not having fun, just spit out the palace and get the hell out of there! “You dirty devil!”
-No, that’s not possible. There is still some business left to do at the palace.
“What kind of tricks is this insignificant devil playing in the royal palace?”
-Heh. Why did this happen? You might be curious, but it wouldn’t be too late to have a chat after I formally invite you.
“……Invitation?”
-This side also needs preparation in order to face the strongest interrogator and great archdemon. I’ll tell you what happens after I send out an invitation and officially invite you.
“Why do you think we would follow what you say? Unfortunately, I do not compromise with the devil.”
A brilliant heavenly radiance begins to leak from the heart of the interrogator, who instantly turns the head of a woman who spoke the elegant and captivating voice of a princess into ashes with a shoe covered in pure white flame, and the power of faith that destroys only evil becomes a mere human being. It began to form slowly in his hands.
“I will destroy you and find out step by step what happened to bring about this situation.”
A pattern resembling angel feathers, shining in gold, is elaborately engraved on the spear, and the light spear of Tapnel, the angel of faith shown by the strongest inquisitor, shines like crazy with a force that threatens to tear the entire palace apart. Started spouting out.
The princess of Lyriam was leisurely looking at him from a distant throne. Elania von Lieram opened her red eyes and whispered softly.
This time, without using the mouth of some insignificant creature or something.
-Don’t you think it’s strange?
“… What do you mean?”
-Time has already passed early in the morning and is heading toward noon, and even though the royal palace built in the center of the capital has been taken over by the devil, there is no commotion. Do you really not feel strange?
The streets of the capital city were thought to be quiet simply because it was early in the morning.
However, beyond the gloomy sky covered with dark clouds, the sun had already revealed itself brightly, and the time had already passed dawn and was approaching noon.
A priest who finally noticed something ‘abnormal’ in the devil’s words.
He held the trembling light spear tightly in his hand as if it was going to be launched towards the palace at any moment, and spoke softly as if he was going to chew the princess who was sitting on the throne and arrogantly speaking only.
“It turns out it wasn’t just the palace that was manipulating.”
-Yes, the great devil’s magic has already engulfed not only the palace, but the entire capital.
An uninhabited world where all the humans living in the capital have evaporated without leaving a trace.
Using the words of the owner of the spiral palace built in the middle of such a void-like city, a tragic princess who had a saint in her heart and dreamed of a happy future, the greedy devil who devoured all the desires in the world revealed his wicked tongue. He teases and gently whispers to the representative of faith.
-So, it would be better to throw away the simple and ignorant idea that the problem will be solved simply by force. Unlike the foolish angel of love, I have absolutely no intention of launching an armed war against the strongest man on earth.
Ahahahaha────.
Completely different from before. No, rather, as if this had been enough up until now, Arnhill used an evil and petty move to stop the Heretic Questioner.
Julius realized that this was not a situation where he could simply tear apart the enemy in front of him, so he ended up destroying the golden spear in his hand and simply stared at the entrance to the hideous palace, which was completely wrapped in tentacles.
A difficult situation where you have no choice but to follow the devil’s words.
As if a rope of salvation had come down to him, a lively and trustworthy woman’s voice rang out from behind Julius.
“Hmph! If it’s the devil’s magic, I won’t be left behind. Julius alone wouldn’t know it, but he’s a genius in housekeeping, Cecil Lionelta! “If I’m here, all your evil plans will come to an end!”
───Perfect!
A cheerful sound spread from Cecile’s fingers as she confidently spoke and shrugged her shoulders, and the space-warping demonic magic that only a very few of the great devils can display was revealed to her. It slowly came into its own in my hands.
Wow──── billion!
A sound is heard as if a giant is tearing steel apart with his hands, and a black and white crack slowly appears in the air.
The sight seen through the crack is a princess lying on a throne with a bored expression and her short white hair twisted.
An enemy-like being who ruined her plan to dream of perfect love again while enjoying a date in the capital. Looking at Arnhil’s new face, Cecil, the eldest of all demons, smiled bitterly and slowly walked towards his younger brother.
“hehehehe, let’s make a plan. It’s in the palm of my hand! “Hurry up and be prepared to have your head exploded at my husband… keke.”
No, I tried to move her steps.
At the very moment the pretty feet of the brown-haired woman stepped beyond the crack, Arnhill’s white hand, which was looking at her sister with an arrogant face, leisurely twitched once, and at the same time, the space beyond the crack turned bright red in the throne room. It turned into an unidentified space crowded with tentacles of light.
A pitiful devil who could not react to what happened unknowingly.
Her tentacles, surrounded by her sticky mucus, flew towards her in an instant and threw Cecil’s delicate body into the air.
The pretty devil, nicknamed a miserable being that crawls on the ground, flew through the sky with her brown skirt fluttering like the wings of an angel, accomplishing the feat of demonstrating her rebellion against her God, Rom.
Shuuu───Ugh
Sigh!
“Gyaaagh! Oh, my head hurts so bad! “It breaks, it breaks!”
Did he receive compensation for his brief treason?
Cecil carried all the momentum he had been carrying through the air and landed head first on the ground.
Although it was a fake body created by exercising her power, her body, which even perfectly recreated her senses for a hot night with Julius, sent unexplained pain towards its owner,
Julius, who was staring at the comical figure of her rolling around the front yard of the palace, tearing out her lovely brown hair from a distance, suddenly blurted out his inner thoughts.
“… As expected, Cecil is cute.”
-… What on earth is so cute over there?
Julius’ words that even the devil, who always mocks humans, rips out their hearts, and inflicts indescribable fear, cannot understand.
Looking at the Inquisitor who was slowly walking towards the pitiful demon who had a large lump on his head and started to cry, the evil entity wearing Elania von Lyriam’s corpse shook its head as if it was absurd. .
“Wow, I can’t believe I’ve endured eons for a skit like this. Sister Nirhil. No matter how much I think about it, I really can’t understand you.
The feeling of love, which is said to be greater than any other feeling in human history, must have been a terrible disease that made even the devil stupid.
“…Cecil, wake up. “For now, let’s step back from here, then prepare our posture and come back…”
“Jeez, I’m so sick. “Hurry up and give me a kiss.”
The cries of a devil echoing in the middle of an uninhabited world filled with dark clouds and flames.
With such a ridiculous scene, the saint’s plan to bring about the destruction of the world has once again secretly opened its grand curtain.
The devil and the devil in the capital city in the middle of the day. And the priest’s story.
