All who pass through the five gates of Heavenly Mountain must wash their bodies and souls with the sacred water.
Only after you have emptied and shaken everything off can you fully enter Mt. Cheonsan.
The word … is actually just an excuse.
‘I must have been caught in a phantom spell.’
Succubus Yoho smiled.
blurry eyes.
Did you say that the owner of gluttony, the demon king who newly entered the mountain?
However, he was fascinated by the hallucinations of Yoho and the Succubus.
Even the Demon King is male.
Males cannot withstand the charm of a succubus.
‘I won’t kill you. It just makes them our slaves.’
Cheonsan is the center of the Demon Realm.
The demons following the Seven Deadly Sins were of various types and forms, and the succubus was also in charge of one of the many axes.
Also, the Church of the Seven Deadly Sins is a strict rule of thumb.
If you climb the mountain without knowing anything, it is only natural that you will be eaten, no matter how much you possess the factor of the devil.
And Yoho planned to charm the master of gluttony and turn him into a slave.
‘Stupid boy. They don’t even know I’m a succubus.’
It was clear that he didn’t know much about the demons.
Hagiya, the master of gluttony was a human who came from Middle-earth. It is unavoidable that humans do not know about the types of demons and their physiology.
But who to blame?
Due to that ignorance, the mind is controlled and reduced to slavery.
I should blame my own stupidity, but I won’t be able to do even that once this work is over.
‘Still, if you’re the owner of a blood-species Asura, it’s certain that he’s an unusual person.’
Hematoma Asura!
I’ve seen quite a few hematomas handled by demon lords, but there are very few hematomas that large.
The bigger the hematoma, the more powerful it is, so if you handle that hematoma, the owner’s class will not be unusual.
If you treat the master of gluttony as a slave, the status of a succubus in Heaven Mountain will rise vertically.
“Hold mana little by little. If you overdo it, the magic will break, so you should proceed carefully as if you were handling a soft cloud.”
“Yes, Master Yin Demon.”
As the succubuses soaked in the hot spring water and sprayed it on his body, white steam began to flow from his body.
The mana that flows from Heavenly Mountain is special.
the center of the demon realm. The hot spring water containing the magical mana of the heavenly mountains has the function of rapidly circulating mana when it touches the body.
If you soak your body in the hot spring water and stay still, it trains the body’s mana in a virtuous cycle, but at this time, there was a side effect of ‘energy’, also called ‘life mana’, popping out together.
When a succubus consumes this energy, it becomes able to enslave the opponent.
Originally, a being that has been sucked in must die, but due to the unique ability of a succubus, it is possible to use the opponent while storing the energy.
“Haaa.”
“Haaa-.”
A blush dwells on the cheeks of the succubus.
He was licking and licking his body, sucking up his energy.
Now he is no longer the master of gluttony. A slave to the succubus.
However, it is a strange thing.
They are succubuses who have absorbed the energy of countless demons and powerful people.
There has never been a case of such ecstatic passion.
‘My, my body… why is it like this?’
And it was the same with Yoho, the Yin Demon Spirit.
Although she, the succubus queen, could not get drunk on human energy.
“ah······!”
The ecstasy soon turned into pain.
“Ah!”
“Turn it off!”
It was a phenomenon common to all succubuses who inhaled his energy.
Feeling something strange, Yoho turned his gaze to look at him.
‘What?’
Only then did Yoho know that he was not under illusion.
It was because the hazy eyes had already returned to normal.
Is it only
“Funny.”
Both eyes were cold enough to feel the cold.
“Uh, how? Weren’t you fascinated?”
Yoho was taken aback.
I couldn’t help but panic.
I confirmed that I was fascinated. I was sure
You can’t voluntarily release the fascination that has already been caught.
“I pretended to be. I’m curious what tricks you’re going to do.”
“No matter how much… you must have been energized…!”
Even if it is possible by conceding one hundred steps.
It’s normal for you to be unable to even stand upright since you’ve lost a fair amount of energy!
All living things have energy.
The energy and mana he had from birth tended to decrease as he grew older.
Even more so, if it is a human being, the amount is too coarse.
“Are you saying that much?”
I smiled and got up from my seat.
Nanomachines called progenitors. It is probably referring to the things I had in my body from the beginning.
Pure nanomachines tailored only to me.
But by Zero, all the nanomachines in my body changed like that.
Even if I took 100 times what I absorbed now, there would be no damage.
Besides, since he sucked it up, it was no different from an act of suicide.
‘The ability to absorb and store other people’s nanomachines intact.’
It was probably the ability of the succubus including that evil spirit.
The power to absorb, store, and manipulate the opponent’s most important nanomachines.
It is an ability that only epics and dragons have, but it has become a self-killing beast.
“Aagh!”
“it hurts!”
Since I myself have entered Zero’s control.
It was like digging a grave.
“What is this…?”
Yoho’s eyes widened. She, too, gritted her teeth at the pain she felt all over her body.
Even if the energy was taken away, they were fine, and even the girls who took the energy were feeling pain.
“If you want to live, you will have to answer my questions.”
Yoho’s eyes trembled.
It’s the first time I’ve ever experienced it.
I was looked down on as a human being, but on the contrary, the shackles were filled.
The moment he saw his eyes, Yoho’s whole body gave rise to goosebumps.
‘You got it wrong…!’
Even if I got it wrong, I got it right wrong.
Yoho regretted his choice. Had I known this would happen, I would have yielded to the other demons.
But it was too late to regret it.
The pain was so intense that even she couldn’t bear it.
“All right, I will answer. So please…!”
“good night.”
Took.
As soon as the words were finished, the pain disappeared.
concurrently. As if it never hurt in the first place.
It feels like I’ve been dreaming all this time.
Yoho and the succubus looked at him fearfully.
“Looks like this is the real Heavenly Mountain test. Is that right?”
“No, that’s right.”
indeed.
It means that the real gateway to climbing Cheonsan is now.
The previous five gateways were only for show purposes.
“Explain in detail.”
“One of the ‘Seven Demons’ takes a test for those who climb the mountain. Only those who pass the test can ascend to the Heavenly Mountain Palace.”
“What are the seven demons?”
“It refers to the seven demons of the Church of the Seven Deadly Sins. There are the Seven Demons, the Seven Demon Kings, and the Seven Demons and the Seven Demons under them. And I am… one of the seven demon spirits, Yin Demon Spirit.”
The genealogy of the Seven Deadly Sins was roughly drawn.
The Seven Demon Kings, the Seven Demons, and the Seven Demons with the Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Sins.
‘He likes the number 7 quite a bit.’
It’s pretty organized anyway.
It started right after they came up here, so Arel and Hela must have been going through a similar test.
Delbaran did not hide his desire, but he was not hostile.
It meant that they acknowledged me as the master of gluttony and Hella as the priestess.
So I stayed still to see what he would do.
“How is the Ceremony of Heavenly Mountain performed?”
“Ceremony from Heaven? Seo, was it really true that the ‘Priestess’ came?”
“Didn’t Delbaran tell you?”
“ah······! A thousand sins!”
Suddenly, he knelt down and spread his hands toward the sky.
So did the other succubuses.
After about 30 seconds, he spoke to me again with a fierce expression.
“… A priestess must receive a god for ’77 days’ in the heavenly cave. Afterwards, only one of the Demon Kings of Heavenly Mountain can accept a priestess as his bride and become a deadly sin.”
It was a story that Hella received God for 77 days, and then only one of the demon kings following the seven sins accepted her as his bride and became a deadly sin.
But doubts arose.
“Wasn’t it necessary to choose the original sin to become a mortal sin?”
“Original sin… are you referring to the first deadly sin that existed here in Cheonsan?”
“…are there many deadly sins?”
“The deadly sin called original sin is the founder of the Church of the Seven Deadly Sins here.”
“So… the title of Deadly Sins means the owner of Heaven Mountain and the Church of the Seven Deadly Sins.”
“you’re right.”
The founder of the Seven Deadly Sins.
the first deadly sin.
That means original sin.
And that original sin was now in me.
After death, a specter wandered around for thousands of eons because he couldn’t find a body he liked.
“Why do you have to marry a priestess to become a deadly sin?”
“The priestess is a ‘vessel’. This is the place where ‘the first life’ was conceived. The first sin was also born here, so only the priestess can contain that energy.”
“If you receive the energy of the mountain and become a couple, then that power will be the same as before?”
“no. You have to eat.”
“Are you eating?”
Yoho said as if asking why he asked something obvious.
“If the demon king mates with a priestess and eats the priestess, it can become a deadly sin.”
*
After finishing the test, when I went to the palace, Hella was waiting for me.
Since Hella was a priestess, it seemed that she had not undergone a special test.
‘It seems that Arell and Wilhelm are still here.’
As I entered, Hella’s eyes flashed with delight.
“Why are you so late? I’ve been waiting for a long time.”
The corner of the mouth is smiling.
Did you think I left?
I shrugged and asked.
“Are you planning on staying here?”
“Silverfang said this is my real home.”
House. It’s home.
If you hadn’t heard the truth from Yoho, this place isn’t like her home.
Hella continued to speak with a determined look in her eyes.
“It’s still awkward, but this is where I belong.”
Silverfang, who had been with her all her life, died trying to protect herself.
He called this place his home, so I thought I’d get used to it.
It’s not that I don’t know Hella’s feelings, but I had no choice but to ask again.
“You’re going to receive the ‘Celestial Ritual’?”
“Of course. Isn’t that what it takes to become a mortal sin?”
I will become a mortal sin
Hella was planning to become the owner of the Church of the Seven Deadly Sins here.
But I wanted to know one and not know the other.
“After the ritual, you will be eaten by one of the demon lords here.”
For a moment, Hella’s expression hardened.
“What are you talking about?”
“It’s not that you become a mortal sin, but the demon king who ate you becomes a mortal sin.”
“…”
Hella closed her mouth with a worried face.
Had he understood, he would have realized that this was not the house he had envisioned.
This is a kennel, not a house.
It is no different from a place where they are raised to be eaten.
So it’s okay to leave.
After a while, Hella took a deep breath and spoke.
“Thank you for keeping your promise to Silver Fang. Now go back to where you belong.”
“Are you saying I’m leaving you?”
“yes. It’s my fight from now on.”
I wondered if he didn’t understand what I was saying, but it didn’t seem like that.
Hella did not break her stubbornness.
“You can’t stay here forever either. Because there are many things to protect.”
Hella was truly grateful for even bringing her this far.
It would have been a huge gamble to take him to this place, avoiding the eyes of the dragons.
No matter how much he possessed the power of sin, the power of the Deadly Sins, his place was not in the Demon Realm.
Hella stayed with Reinhardt and watched him constantly.
Empire.
family.
All of that is in the middle world, not in the demon realm.
was in the world of humans.
With them, Reinhardt can be happy.
can laugh
Reinhardt does his best for his family and for the things he needs to protect.
He endures any insult and triumphantly overcomes it.
But there was nothing he had to protect here.
Giving up everything and wanting to be in the demon realm is greed. It is selfish.
Besides, just as Reinhardt was completed alone, there was no reason not to call it her.
From now on, it is only her fight.
Hella said with a small smile.
“Reinhardt. Thank you so much for all this time. i will never forget So… it’s time to go home now.”
