Chapter 76
Kirik- Kirik-.
The sound of metal grinding rang in my ears.
My vision flickered with the sound of a spring rewinding.
After a while, I was able to open my eyes.
What happened?
I quickly glanced around and tried to grasp the situation.
― Yes, save me!
―Kill the demons!
Without even time to do so, I had no choice but to narrow my eyes at the high voices and screams resonating from all directions.
‘What the hell is going on… … .’
I was startled and tried to move my body.
But it was a bunch.
My body, which was supposed to follow my will, stood firm without even budging.
I tried to overcome this difficulty by using other attributes.
Mana had not even manifested, so he had to be discouraged.
It feels like it’s my body, but it’s not my body.
That was the moment.
Ssuk-.
The gaze was lowered.
My eyes started to scan my hands.
at the same time.
Ssuk-.
Head turned automatically.
It wasn’t something I did myself, it was a movement that was already imprinted on my body.
That’s how it reached the end of my field of vision.
It was a mirror.
To be precise, fragments of mirrors that have already been broken and shattered.
‘This guy.’
He was a familiar figure.
The child reflected in the mirror was Samuel.
I have become Samuel.
Is it because of the power of the necklace?
Putting the whole situation together, I felt like I was experiencing Samuel’s past.
— … … .
I, Samuel, had a pale complexion, as if frightened.
I could guess Samuel’s age as I calmly glanced at him.
It’s probably about 10 years ago now in terms of timing.
Wait, 10 years ago.
‘At the time of the Great War.’
It was a time when humans invaded to conquer the Demon Realm.
The humans who trampled the territory of the demon realm with their horseshoes in an unstoppable fashion came to threaten even the families of the Seven Deadly Sins.
In the end, it reached Samuel’s family, the ‘Barus’ family.
It is said that Samuel’s family was destroyed during the Great War, so now is probably the right time.
that means that.
‘This is Samuel’s past.’
It was also clear that Samuel’s family was being destroyed.
These scenes are scenes that I did not directly describe in the original work.
I just wrote that the Demon World suffered enormous damage from humans.
The detailed process of the seven deadly families being exterminated was not described.
For a while, I was taken aback by the appearance of a background that did not appear in the original work.
Queek-.
The door to the room opened.
Samuel’s body trembled and reflexively shrugged his shoulders.
And Samuel’s face brightened at the person who appeared.
“mother!”
An unfamiliar yet youthful voice came out of my throat.
The woman who opened the door and appeared was Samuel’s mother.
Her pale green hair was limp and frizzy, and her eyes were dying and growing feeble.
Samuel, as if not noticing this change, was only hugged by his mother.
“mother… … .”
Samuel trembled with fear and hugged his mother tightly.
A warm feeling was felt.
That it was a single tear running down his back, young Samuel did not know.
his mother was crying.
“What about mother and father?”
Samuel, unaware of his mother’s feelings, went to his father in confusion.
However, the mother did not reveal the father’s whereabouts.
I just ask Samuel for forgiveness.
“Oh, I’m sorry… … .”
“mother?”
Samuel’s eyes widened as he watched his mother repeat the words of apology to him over and over again.
Samuel was young, but he could roughly guess the current situation.
The demonic power of humans extends to their own family and threatens them.
one.
Because Samuel was young.
“… … .”
closely.
I couldn’t take any action, I just tightened my mother’s arm.
It was when I was doing that for a while.
Jerk-.
Along with the dull sound of footsteps coming through the cracks in the door, the sounds of human conversation could be heard.
―Certainly, the head of household is strong.
―But Count Leon won, right? Thanks to that, I also cut my throat.
Cut off whose throat?
The humans proudly told their leader that their father had lost their lives in defeat.
At that moment, it felt like a fire was burning in my chest.
Before he knew it, he assimilated with Samuel and felt his anger.
“Ahh… … !”
The mother, who overheard the human conversation, sat down in her seat with tears in her eyes.
There was nothing Samuel could do for her.
Because he was also a weak being who still needed someone’s help.
Jerk-jerk-.
And it was the moment when the sound of human footsteps gradually approached.
Humans were approaching the room where Samuel and his mother were.
chin.
The mother, who had wiped away the tears before she knew it, opened her mouth with a voice mixed with tears while holding on to Samuel’s shoulders.
“Baby, listen carefully to me.”
“… … Yes, Mother.”
Samuel knew what his mother was talking about.
Also the fact that even if you give your opinion, your mother will not listen to it.
So Samuel followed his mother’s advice.
“Stay in here, never come out.”
said the mother, hiding Samuel in the closet.
Samuel covered himself with a piece of clothing and nodded.
“You cannot open your eyes or open your ears. It only takes 5 minutes.”
“Why?”
“It is play. It’s an adult game. If you’re Samuel, you’ll be able to do well because you’re mature.”
“… … .”
Samuel wanted to ask where there was such a game.
However, the moment I saw my mother’s eyes that were about to burst into tears.
I had no choice but to do what my mother wanted me to do.
“all right. I’ll count to five minutes.”
“Yeah, that’s great.”
Swipe.
She stroked Samuel’s forehead one last time, closed the closet door, and turned her head away.
baby, you have to survive
Samuel squeezed his plugged ears and heard his mother’s last words.
Samuel broke his promise to his mother and began observing the situation through a crack in the closet.
and.
Queek.
At the same time as the door opened, two human males revealed a new type.
Each of those humans held onto the corpses of the decapitated servants.
Eyeballs were plucked out as if they had resisted to the end, and their faces were trampled to the fullest.
The human boys threw their heads in front of their mother.
At this, the mother’s face turned blue.
At that moment, unfamiliar yet familiar memories come to mind.
Samuel knew the owners of the neck.
Those who were kind and warm who treated themselves like younger siblings.
Their heads were cut with their eyes wide open as if they were so resentful.
びぅ.
Samuel groaned, covering his mouth to make no sound.
The image of his mother came into Samuel’s bloodshot eyes.
“Yes, you guys… … !”
Mother tried to attack humans by revealing her demonic spirit.
It was not enough.
hook-.
The mother’s abdomen was pierced with a single knife thrown by the human.
Except for the fact that the mother can handle demons, she has powers similar to other general demons in that she is weak.
There was no way that such a person could be the opponent of the human army that attacked the Seven Deadly Sins.
Took.
The human who trampled on the mother’s model, which had collapsed to the floor, giggled.
“The family head was quite strong, but the hostess is absurdly weak, isn’t it? It’s just as you said.”
Tuk-tuk.
The human laughed at what was so funny and patted a woman on the back.
That woman was half a demon.
It is also a half demon tribe that Samuel’s family took pity on her, an orphan, and accepted her as a servant.
“yes yes… … .”
She trembled in fear and nodded to the man’s words.
“Thanks to you, the work was finished quickly, and the captain will be happy too. I will let go of your life as promised.”
“thank you… … .”
The moment she nodded.
puff-.
My mother’s throat broke.
Another human next to her used magic to separate her mother’s head from her body.
‘Ahh… … !’
Samuel covered his mouth with both hands and moaned through tears.
I wanted to tear those humans and the half demon to pieces right away.
Because my mother wanted me to survive.
I couldn’t possibly do that.
After confirming his mother’s death, the human asked the anti-demon again.
“Then is it all over?”
“Yes, they are all dead now… … .”
“okay?”
The half-demon hurriedly lowered his head, and the human stroked his chin as if assessing something.
Squeak-.
The head of the half demon fell off.
That human didn’t even think of saving the half demon from the beginning.
“I said I would let you go, I didn’t say I would spare you, so don’t feel unfair.”
drooling.
A human muttered as he saw the half-demon head rolling on the ground.
Took.
And the neck stopped in the closet where Samuel was hiding.
Why?
The eyes of the half demon were looking at Samuel.
With regret, nostalgia, and affection.
“… … .”
Samuel did not understand the meaning behind that expression.
Why did he make such a face when he betrayed himself and his mother?
“Then let’s go.”
So, the humans left the corpse and left with only the mother’s head.
That was the moment.
“Oh, wait.”
The human wizard stopped and looked back.
His eyes were on the closet where Samuel was hiding.
Samuel’s shoulders trembled.
Maybe they found out that he was hiding.
As Samuel was frightened, the human wizard let out a chuckle.
and.
bang-!
Huge explosion magic hit the room.
The human wizard noticed that Samuel was in the closet and tried to bury him with the wreckage of the building.
Samuel couldn’t resist the aftermath of the enormous magic and just held onto his clothes.
In the meantime.
thud.
The wall hit Samuel’s head.
At the same time, his vision was dyed black, and the tide rushed in rapidly.
… … How many days have passed since I fell asleep like that?
Ssuk-.
Samuel’s eyes opened.
The surroundings are in terrible ruins.
All that was there were pieces of equipment, a half demon, and the corpse of his mother.
wriggling wriggling.
The corpses of the mother and the half demon were infested with maggots.
growl-.
Meanwhile, Samuel shuddered with intense hunger.
“… … .”
However, Samuel did not even have the strength to open his mouth.
In place of such Samuel, gluttony protruded from his arm.
chum chum-.
Chewing on the corpses of half demons mixed with maggots.
He began to chew on the headless corpse of his mother.
to survive.
To take revenge on humans.
His mother’s last words echoed in Samuel’s ears as he shed dry, dry tears.
– Ah, you have to survive.
Samuel chewed and swallowed his mother’s corpse with maggots in his solitude filled with silence.
It tasted like nausea, but Samuel couldn’t get it out.
As my mother said,
Because he had to survive.
“… … .”
As I finished eating, my eyes slowly began to close as I felt full.
And when I opened my eyes again.
.
.
.
.
Kirik- Kirik-.
The sound of the spring rewinding echoed.

What the actual f*ck
