77 – Luck (Part 2)
“The devil deceived the people of the Romanihov family and made them pursue marriage talks with me.”
-Is it really what I think?
“Yes, that devil doesn’t dare hit the fountain. He hatched a plan to marry me and have my child. “To gain a stronger body.”
-Tsk, tsk, why did I plan such a plan against you? You did something unthinkable.
As if the foolish devil was pitiful, his holy sword clicked against his tongue.
Julius eventually stopped looking at the palace, unable to hold back the longing that flowed through his heart, and began to walk towards the downstairs where Cecil was.
“Of course, the plan was trivial and shabby from the beginning. But it was quite powerful. Like a high-ranking devil.
-It looks like it swallowed quite a few humans.
“The devil, who immediately realized that his identity had been revealed, tried to break my heart using his magical powers.”
-Julius Of course you would have avoided it, right?
Julius shook his head in response to the Holy Sword’s question as if he was stating an obvious fact.
“No, I couldn’t avoid it.”
-What, what?
“To be exact, I couldn’t move my body for a moment. “Because of anger.”
A long time ago, when I was still wandering around Cecil’s death. Thinking back to the devil’s most unpleasant actions.
Julius narrowed his eyebrows and spat out his words.
“That insignificant devil whispered to me, using his magic of deception. To be exact, imitating the voice of the dead Cecil.”
-Wow, that is truly vicious.
Seonggeom spoke in a caring voice, as if he felt pity.
Julius nodded his head at Neron Dir’s words.
“When I heard Cecil’s voice flowing from the mouth of a wretched devil, the only emotion I felt was endless anger.”
-The devil seemed to have poured oil on it.
“That was probably the first time I felt so angry. So I just silently accepted the devil’s attacks with my body.”
In no time, Julius had come down all the stairs, and the sight of a cozy, living home was reflected in Julius’ eyes.
He smelled the sweet scent of Cecil’s milk wafting from afar, and put the holy sword into the scabbard hanging on his waist.
“I protected the heart with my power [Gold], But blood spurted out from my chest where it was cut by demon energy. “The devil is covered in my blood, which contains divine power.”
-Did he burn to death?
“No, it drank my blood and began to emit even more powerful magical energy.”
-Hmm, it seems that the demon was closer to a high-ranking demon than I thought.
Despite the surprising story that the devil covered in the sacred blood of a priest did not burn to death but actually became stronger.
The Holy Sword said as if it was only natural.
“…… “Isn’t it amazing?”
I thought I would be surprised, but to see Nerondir reacting surprisingly calmly.
Julius tilted his head and asked the Holy Sword.
-If you think about the patterns of angels and devils, it is not that strange.
“… It’s not a strange thing?”
However, Nerondir aroused his curiosity even more by saying something ambiguous.
Julius stopped walking towards Cecil and asked the question again towards the holy sword.
“The example of angels and devils is the same. “What does that mean?”
-… To be precise, the magic and divine power are the same.
“Aren’t demonic energy and divine power polar opposites? But in fact, it is difficult to understand that the two are the same.”
The mouth of the holy sword. No, Julius, who felt slightly dizzy from the shocking words flowing from his sword body, put his hand between his eyes and tilted his head.
The Holy Sword continued his words.
-Let me explain with a simple analogy. The difference between magic and divine power is simple.
“… ….”
-For example, let’s think about making tea. It’s the same water, but depending on what you put in it, it can be either black tea or coffee.
“… I understand roughly.”
Julius nodded at the holy sword’s explanation that was so kind that even a child could understand.
-Ordinary demons possess low-level magical energy, so they are burned by divine power that is not converted into flame or holy water.
“It means that high-ranking demons grow by eating the divine power contained in their blood.”
The Holy Sword, which has existed for a long time, is truly knowledgeable.
Julius felt a faint joy that the question he had been wondering about for four years had finally been answered.
-So? What happened to the demon that grew after drinking your blood? I definitely had a hard time processing it…
“I felt something was strange, but blinded by anger, I burned the entire Romanihof Mansion to the ground as the demon took on the body of a noblewoman.
-… In the end, will it end in burning again?
The Holy Sword muttered in a weak voice, as if the steam had escaped.
But Julius did not respond to the holy sword’s words, but instead opened his eyes and began muttering something.
“Hmm, so you’re saying that for high-ranking demons, the blood of a priest is like an elixir?”
-Holy flame and holy water are poisons, but if it’s just blood, it can definitely be said to be an elixir.
“Then what will happen if the current Cecil eats my blood?”
-It’s not the main body, but the alter ego’s body, but the effect is the same… Wait, what?
The Holy Sword, who was eagerly answering Julius’ words, thought something was strange and questioned it.
Julius did not respond to those words and just walked toward Cecil.
-Uh, huh? What are you thinking now? It’s not what I think, is it?
“Cecil has always been a weak woman. “If my blood is an elixir to Cecil, then of course I should feed it to her.”
-Ji, are you out of your mind right now? I’m going to feed the sacred blood to a high-ranking devil. Crazy, crazy!
When the Holy Sword realizes that his ominous thoughts are correct, he screams loudly.
Julius just walked recklessly and slammed open the door to the room where Cecil was.
“Ah, Julius! Come on. “Did you finish exploring the palace successfully?”
“Julius! Save me! Aren’t you an angel’s representative?
-Ah, this house. It’s not yours either! What are you going to do when the owner comes back and destroy it!
“…… “Cecil.”
The sight that appeared in Julius’s eyes after breaking down the door was truly strange.
The sight of Cecile, who had already changed into a pure white blouse and a brown skirt, whipping at the angel who was tied tightly with black rope.
“Julius, what are you just looking at! “Hurry up and save me from that crazy b*tch!”
“… ….”
Lionelta, who was covered in dirt, perfectly avoided Cecil’s whip even while rolling around on the floor tied tightly with rope.
I shouted loudly at Julius.
“Don’t keep avoiding me, sister. “She can’t torture her because she’s avoiding it!”
“You crazy b*tch! I am an angel! “Where in the world is there a heretic inquisitor who tortures angels?”
“It’s here!”
Good ──
“aaah! “Is this really swinging with sincerity?”
“Die, you devil!”
“… ….”
A blasphemous sight of a high-ranking demon, who is the main enemy of the Church of Telmere, swinging a whip at an angel served by the Church of Telmere.
Julius, who looked at that scene for a moment, walked towards Cecil with great strides.
I gently grabbed her delicate shoulders.
“Stop it. “Cecil.”
“U, Julius?”
“Yes, you are doing well, Julius! “Cut off that vile devil’s head like this!”
In a situation where one woman had a crying expression on her face and her mouth was silent, and the other woman had an excited face on her face and was nodding her head repeatedly, Julius slowly looked towards her Cecile. I opened my mouth.
“If you keep moving so vigorously, it’s not good for your body. “Stop and get some rest now.”
-You’re laughing!
“Are you out of your mind now, Julius? Do you think that is the old Cecil who was still weak?”
The Holy Sword and Lionelta were screaming loudly at the incomprehensible words that came out of Julius’s mouth.
“Ah, okay. No, I understand.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Cecil just nodded her head towards Julius with blushing cheeks.
“Lionelta, please stop now. No matter what happens, I will not give up on Cecil.”
“No, okay, let’s solve this!” “Listen to me!”
“More than that, Cecil, is it true that the blood of priests is good for high-ranking demons?”
“Uh, huh? Where did you hear that? “It might have been true in the past, but these days, few people know.”
“Listen to me!”
Julius asks Cecil about the effects of the Precious Blood with a serious expression.
Cecile wiggled her fingers and rolled her eyes at his appearance.
“You’re noisy, sister, please be quiet. So Julius, how on earth did you know that?”
“I learned about the sudden growth of the high-ranking demon who took over the palace while talking with the Holy Sword.”
“Huh, huh. I see, the Holy Sword told me. “You’re so kind.”
-What, what are you saying?
Cesil, who had a mysterious expression on her face that made it hard to tell what she was thinking, nodded and muttered something. Seonggeom sees this and screams as if he is dumbfounded.
And Julius, who was looking at her like that, grabbed Cecil’s delicate shoulders tightly.
He started to open his mouth with a serious expression.
“Cecil, haven’t you always been weak? Of course, now that you have become a devil, your body will have improved considerably, but wouldn’t it be better to eat something that is good for your body?”
“Uh, yes! Yes. “If you eat a lot of things that are good for your body, the more you eat, the less bad it becomes.”
“Julius! That’s all nonsense. A demon as strong as Nirhil is past the point where he can become stronger by drinking blood…Kek.”
Quaak!
“It’s noisy. “Just shut up.”
Lionel Tar desperately tried to open her mouth to tell the truth, but she was kicked by an evil demon and ended up losing her mind.
Julius seemed not to be bothered by such a strange sight, and spit out her last words at her.
“Of course, if you don’t like it, I don’t intend to force it, but if it’s good for your health, I’m willing to give it to you….”
“Yes, okay.”
“…… ?”
“Yes, I understand. “Your blood, give it to me.”
“…… I get it.”
I thought you might reject it.
Julius looked shocked for a moment at Cecil’s answer, which came out faster than expected.
Soon she nodded, grabbed Cecil’s hand, and started walking her steps.
“It’s a bit too much to just feed raw blood, so could you mix it with wine and eat it little by little?”
“No, no.”
“…… ?”
“I just want to bite the back of the neck and eat it like before.”
“… If you want, do it.”
“Then let’s go into the bedroom. “I was worried something like this might happen, so I cleaned out my bedroom.”
“This is definitely the house where Priest Lian lives….”
“It’s okay! Uncle Lian will also gladly accept the sacrifice for the saint’s daughter!”
“…… I get it.”
.
.
.
The commotion that had raged like a storm subsided.
After Julius and Cecil left.
Tied up in a small room, she began to grind her teeth on Lionel, who was left with a dirt-covered face.
“I can’t believe Nirhil is doing whatever he wants like this. “Something is strange, something is strange!”
As if it were a well-written play, the situation that Cecil wanted was proceeding smoothly.
Lionelta, furious at the current situation that she could not understand, desperately tried to shake her head.
Just before her own nest was destroyed, she recalled the image of Cecil biting the back of her neck while wrapping Julius around her.
“Okay, now I understand. This is definitely the power of that b*tch Nirhil. “The devil’s magic that deals with luck!”
Julius might just think that all of this happened by coincidence.
That wasn’t true.
All of this was thoroughly planned by Cecil, who had his eye on Julius’ blood from the beginning!
“Come back, Julius! This is a trap. “Cecil, that wicked b*tch is playing with all of us!”
Kikik─
However, despite Lionelta’s desperate cries, there was no answer from Julius.
-No matter how much I scream, it’s no use. Stupid older sister… Well, then. Really biting? Julius?
“…… “You damn b*tch!”
With the world in his palms, only the whispers of the great devil playing with everything echoed hollowly in Lionelta’s mind.
