Predation – 3
Read at noblemtl.com
Joo Wook.For an instant, my body moved forward… … I felt myself being dragged into Idria’s hole.
But the hole I made caught me like that.
At first, I thought I was lucky.
But that’s an absurd illusion.
The holes in Idria and I are each exerting a tremendous attraction towards each other.
‘damn. I feel like my body is torn apart. Upper body that way, lower body this way!’
[Which one do you prefer to leave?]
‘Are there any jokes in this yard?’
Same goes for Idria.
She was clenching her teeth and resisting an enormous force that seemed to tear her body from both sides.
– Whoa! Kwakwakwang.
Everything in the world begins to be absorbed by the ball we made.
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Mountains fall and rocks break.The tree was uprooted and the ground evaporated.
Even the clouds in the sky. Even wild birds and insects.
even air.
‘I can’t breathe.’
[It seems that even oxygen has been absorbed. it’s okay?]
‘I can’t breathe, are you okay? Damn, I didn’t think there was such a blind spot.’
[I bet it’s the same for Idria, so hold on a little longer!]
The key to winning the battle with the Demon King would be the lung capacity.
The body could be torn apart with a strong body.
But not being able to breathe was something that no great warrior could overcome.
It seems that the same applies to the Demon King.
“… … .”
Idria’s face begins to turn blue.
‘You shake it a little. You and Idria can talk even with their souls.’
[What do you mean?]
‘Whatever it is. If I say it in terms of upbringing, it’s a waste of breathing.’
After thinking for a moment, Trail spoke to Idria with her soul.
[Idria. Clear your hole.]
“… … .”
[After all, you didn’t mean to kill Maid right away either. This battle was only about who took the initiative and the upper hand, and it was not a bloody battle that risked his life from the beginning.]
“… … .”
[Were you trying to use Maid to kill a monster called Velocian? It was the same with Maid.]
oh
I feel like I’m slowly losing consciousness.
This is really dangerous.
I looked at Idria through the blurred vision.
Suddenly, she put her hands on the floor.
Trail continued to persuade her.
[To use you means that I will not kill you soon. Don’t you think that the fact that the hero doesn’t kill the demon king right away is quite a concession?]
“… … .”
[Cancel the ability. I don’t want to see you die because of your lung capacity match.]
“👀”
Idria wasted infinitely precious oxygen on sniffling.
shit.
Weeing. Whoops.
She snaps her finger and the black hole disappears.
Naturally, the force of attraction only worked in one direction. Only towards the hole I made.
Idria was sucked into the space I had created with a terrifying speed.
By this point she had already fainted.
Whoops.
After confirming that Idria had completely entered the space, I hurriedly closed it.
And when I cleared the black hole, the world started going back to normal again.
“Huh. Heh.”
[it’s okay?]
“If I was only a few seconds late, I would have almost gone to the underworld.”
[You have already been there.]
I ignored it and continued breathing into my lungs.
so after a few seconds.
When his condition returned to normal, he had no choice but to tremble with ecstasy.
I looked up at the sky quietly.
“You have captured the Demon King.”
I called my companions again.
They got off Agril and looked around.
Actually, there’s not much to worry about.
There’s nothing left
“Agrilo, supported by Mime, was unable to escape from the manpower of Mr. Maid and Idria. If we were only a few seconds late, you would have seen us suck.”
“It should have been farther away.”
“Ahaha.”
Xenia smiled awkwardly and scratched her cheek.
Offense interpreted the meaning of the laugh.
“How could you possibly want to go further than this?”
“yes. If you have a conscience, take a look, Maid.”
I looked around at her words.
there’s nothing.
Originally, the forest of Sacred was a different kind of backcountry from the general forest.
Along with the starting line, it is one of the places that mankind has not touched.
But it was no longer a forest.
Everything was broken and absorbed, and all that was left was a basin dug deep into the ground.
said Neryl.
“You and I were at least five kilometers apart. Roughly speaking, it can be said that the manpower has gone crazy up to that point.”
“Hmm.”
“Hmm, this isn’t it. It’s just that the five kilometers of forest disappeared in the aftermath of the two of them fighting. No, it’s a radius, so should it be considered 10 kilometers?”
“Well, in any case, it’s because you’ve changed the reputation of a god into power. Rather, it is surprising that Idria resisted it for a considerable amount of time.”
Ardwin intervened.
“Anyway, is your older brother stronger?”
“It seems to be a slight difference, but for now.”
“Idria is now beyond the space that hyung made?”
“uh. Shall we talk?”
Then the party was terribly surprised.
Serena asked.
“Can we talk? The space is cut off.”
“It’s a space I made. You only need to open it small enough that Idria can’t get out.”
“Head hurts… … .”
“It’s a situation where we need to talk to each other anyway. I think Idria would have come to her senses by this point, so let’s tear the space a little bit.”
I was thinking about pulling out my sword, but I decided to quit.
I don’t think there’s any need for that.
Instead, I raised my hand at an angle and lowered it as if drawing a capital.

Jigsaw.There is a small gap of about 3 centimeters in the air.
I raised my voice towards it.
“Idria. Can you hear me?”
“… … .”
“I know what you hear. Don’t expect me to expand a little more by any chance.”
“Whoa.”
The sound of Idria’s sigh leaked out through the cracks in space.
Neryl said cynically.
“This is the most perfect prison in the world. How does it feel to be reversed by abilities similar to yours?”
“It’s still unpleasant, so don’t provoke me.”
“You didn’t know it was going to be like this, did you? I’ve already been beaten by Maid several times.”
“That’s because the power that Adin’s spirit gave him was great.”
Adria was surprisingly quite docile in admitting it.
Lissel asked.
“What are you going to do now? … … No, why am I sitting in honor of the Demon King?”
“Aren’t you supposed to ask Maid more than me?”
“You are at a disadvantage now. That’s it. Quietly answer any questions. sun.”
I don’t think it suits your personality, but don’t overdo it, Lissel.
Then Idria answered.
“I was thinking of using Maid.”
“So how?”
“I thought I would increase Maid’s reputation.”
We were stunned at the unexpected words.
Idria giggles lightly.
“Based on Ardin’s memory, Impellium in the past was able to turn fame into power. Did I say that I had to give up something precious?”
“… … .”
“Improve my reputation is my specialty. I was the one who made that stupid Kayle to be called a hero for a while. What… … It seems wrong now.”
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Maybe this guy?Idria looked at my expression and nodded.
“okay. It was originally intended to be a play by Cald. I was thinking of making you do a ‘play to kill the demon king’.”
“… … !”
“Of course, there is a crucial difference from Kyle’s case.”
“Whether a harvest of lies?”
“… … huh. you were noticing Yes, in fact, the lies you have been doing up until now have not come back to me with power.”
According to Impelium, it was probably because the world decided that my lies were good for mankind.
Of course, I didn’t reveal that.
Instead, I asked another question.
“Why did you try to increase my reputation? If I can’t harvest lies, I think it’s only advantageous to me unilaterally.”
“Why are you asking something obvious? I was going to ask you to turn that fame into power and kill the Velocian. Would you call it chido murder?”
After a moment’s silence, she continued.
“Through Adin’s memory, I learned that human beings are a life that can become infinitely strong as long as it has a high reputation. Isn’t it a world that is so absurdly advantageous to you humans?”
“… … .”
“The Velocian is a powerful enemy that knows no bounds. Humans who can become infinitely strong only when their fame rises… … Only Maid can kill them.”
“Why not do it yourself?”
“that… … .”
she was speechless
But I could predict the backstory.
Read at noblemtl.com
Just as I guessed last time.Idria deceived humans to get lies, but Velocian deceived the world.
Then Idria can never defeat Velocian.
It’s not that the elevation of force is the problem, but the character itself is created that way.
That’s why you’re giving up dealing with the Velocian yourself and asking me to do it.
But I’m old and didn’t say this.
Serena intervened as if absurd.
“Anyway, Maid is a hero. Does it make sense for a hero to receive a murder request from the Demon King?”
“Isn’t Velocian an enemy that you guys also have to defeat? Whose commission does it matter?”
“… … .”
“In the first place, the phrase “a request for murder” is absurd. Velocians are not human.”
I said scratching my head.
“Why do you want to kill him?”
“What?”
“You said during the battle. Velocian wants something from you, and that’s offended you.”
“… … .”
“What does he want from you? Why did I help you?”
There was no reply for a while.
I couldn’t wait until it was time for me to ask again, and her voice came out.
“The Velocian seeks to amend the laws of the world.”
“That’s what he always does. Through that power, Ardin’s fame was handed over to Kayld.”
“no. It is only at the level of ‘interference’ that the fame is passed on. I said ‘correction’.”
“what?”
“He’s trying to turn this world into a ‘place for the Demon King’.”
I don’t understand what you mean at first.
Idria spoke in a self-helpful tone.
“I am not trying to escape from a world that is unfavorable to the Demon King like me, I am trying to change the world itself into a convenient place for the Demon King. I want to be commended for the great distribution.”
“Tell me more specifically.”
“It is intended to amend the laws of the world so that all humans regard the feeling of wealth as the feeling of good.”
At first I didn’t feel it.
However, Lissel, who showed a phenomenal look at random, kept her mouth shut.
Because of that, Richell said in a slightly muffled voice.
“No, that’s absurd. then… … then.”
“what. What did you realize?”
“The Demon King is a being born from the feelings of wealth created by humans. Destruction, greed, corruption.”
“By the way?”
“People know that those feelings are ‘bad’. That’s how I was educated.”
It’s a matter of course.
No one preaches the feeling of wealth as the right thing to do.
Even if it’s dark inside, I try to hide it as much as possible on the outside and restrain myself so that I can only show it in a line that is as invisible as possible.
Otherwise, neither society nor individual life can be maintained.
“oh.”
It was then that I realized
Idria said scornfully.
“If you recognize all the emotions you were reluctant to be positive, how much wealth will you spread in the world?”
“… … .”
“And how many demon kings will they descend?”
“Stand, please.”
“okay. Velocian was meant to make this world full of demon kings. They’re trying to change the world into those of the demon lords. To a world where the demon king is the master, not a human.”
In an instant, goosebumps all over my body.
With the advent of a single demon king, mankind had to put all of its capabilities into survival.
But what if ‘many’ demon lords descend?
It would be no different from hell spread out in the world.
“And most of those negative emotions are probably lies. It is something that mankind always takes in their mouths from the time they wake up in the morning to the time they fall asleep at night.”
“… … .”
“If all humans have the perception that ‘a lie is a good thing’, how strong is the Velocian?”
“… … .”
“I don’t know, but I will be able to become strong enough to get out of the ‘private room’. Velocian, who came out of the special room, would sit in the upper seat of the numerous demon kings who descended into the world. Hmm… … If I had to compare it to a heavenly god, wouldn’t it be a ‘devil’?”
That is, to put it in a nutshell.
“Is the Velocian trying to become a demon?”
“I can say that.”
“… … for a moment. There’s something a little weird about it. If you modify the laws of the world to make them recognize that lies are good, the benefits are not limited to Velocians. Isn’t this a good story for you too?”
“… … .”
“Why are you trying to kill the Velocian? If you sit still, you too will have a chance to become a drinker.”
Idria giggled lightly.
“I can’t become a demon.”
“why?”
“Before that, I will die at the hands of Velocian.”
“… … !”
“As I said before, his ruse is not to interfere with the rules, but to modify them. It requires tremendous power. The power to create a fake world and leave is a ridiculously huge power.”
Suddenly, lightning struck my head.
Could it be that Idria is trying to pretend to be Velocian?
“Is that guy meant to raise you and eat you?”
