The Saint Was the Devil’s Henchman chapter 80

80 episodes

At that moment, Ethan, who had been silent until now, approached the shining stone.

Seeing that, Blake asked.

“Friend, do you know what this is?”

“Sealing Stone.”

“Sealstone? What the hell is that?”

Blake tilted his head.

It was natural.

A hundred years ago, Blake didn’t even exist.

“It is the treasury number that the Seven Heroes, or more precisely, Saint Eileen, prepared to face the Empire during the Anti-Magic War.”

“Are such treasures abandoned in the Black Mountains?”

Blake frowned, as if it were difficult to comprehend.

‘If the sealing stone was made by a saint, it is only natural for a close friend who is a priest to know. But why is something even called the treasury water left unattended in such a place?’

Ethan responded as if he had read Blake’s mind.

“I don’t know.”

Of course it was a lie.

Because it was Ethan who sealed the witch Scarlet in the Black Mountains using the Sealing Stone.

“Hmm.”

Ethan approached the Sealing Stone and immediately smiled all over his face.

‘Good.’

The Sealing Stone, which had been in the Black Mountains for a hundred years, was the best dinner for Ethan.

The original sealing stone is a crystal of pure divine power.

In addition, the remaining divine power used in Scarlet’s seal was mixed with the magic of the Black Mountains.

So, to Ethan, he had no choice but to appear as an excellent material for divine magic.

‘It is worthwhile to come this far.’

If he took the energy from the Sealing Stone, he would have been able to grow further.

Ethan reached out toward the sealing stone.

In an instant, events that almost killed him in Pace or Velium flashed through his mind.

But it was fine.

The sealing stone was emitting light fiercely, but the energy left in it was enough for Ethan to handle.

There was no fear of getting sick like in the past.

‘Even if there is a stupid Blake and a greedy fox, there’s no problem.’

Ethan smiled confidently.

It was the moment when he was about to draw in all his concentration and take the divine magic.

* * *

“Well?”

Blake’s eyes widened.

There was something strange about Ethan’s face as he touched the shiny stone.

“ね.”

Ethan drooled as he touched the shiny stone.

‘Why is my friend doing that?’

Blake tilted his head.

In the first place, using his hair was not his area of expertise.

“Huh!”

Then a thought flashed through his head.

“Is this moment important to you right now?!”

After attaining enlightenment, Blake made a determined face.

He stood with his back to Ethan and looked around.

It was to protect Ethan.

Compared to the usual Blake, it was unreliable.

But Blake never expected that his good intentions to go one step further would lead to erroneous results.

“Huh!”

Blake exclaimed his spirit and raised his mana.

He was trying to figure out the monsters and dangers approaching here by expanding his area with mana.

But something strange happened.

“what?”

Blake made an impression.

Mana spread outside was scattered.

It was clear that mana had escaped from the danjeon.

But as it turned out, it lost control of Blake and disappeared without a trace.

‘why?’

Blake was immediately startled.

“I get it! Is this evil mountain range trying to mock even my heart to protect my friend?!”

Blake was convinced.

He said that the magic of the Black Mountains was disturbing his mana.

It was truly an evil land.

Blake’s eyes lit up with excitement.

“Heh heh heh! But you picked the wrong opponent. I, Blake, never forsake my friend’s friendship! No matter what happens, I will protect my friend!”

Blake caught his breath.

And with a wretched expression, he raised mana once again.

“Even if I have to sacrifice this life!”

Blake generated mana with power.

The mana to be commended spread out in all directions.

The hem of Blake’s clothes shook.

At the same time, the ground crumbled and the trees shook.

Surprised birds flew into the sky.

🥺!

Even the white fox jumped in surprise.

🏳️‍🌈! 🥺!

The white fox wept at Blake, as if a man were shouting.

Hearing this, Blake burst out laughing from the inside out.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! okay. Are you, a mere little girl, aware of my resolve and cheering for me?”

Blake was moved by the heart of the white fox.

And it raised mana with power.

Without knowing that what he was doing was trying to kill Ethan again.

* * *

Ethan was touching the sealing stone.

And he tried to take the holy power in the sealing stone and the remaining magical power of the Black Mountains.

Ethan was relieved.

Even if stupid Blake broke the sealing stone or the white fox interrupted it, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

‘Anyway, the sealing stone has exhausted its power.’

So there was nothing to put Ethan in danger.

That was then.

Ethan realized that Blake was guarding his back.

‘what?’

Ethan was paying attention to Blake’s movements even while absorbing divine power and magic power and turning it into divine magic.

But what is this?

Blake wasn’t doing anything stupid.

‘Are you trying to help me knowing that I’m defenseless?’

Did I mention that cows catch mice by walking backwards?

Or it didn’t seem like Blake’s head was completely useless.

But then, out of the blue, a shout was heard.

“Huh!”

The mana that had arisen in an instant suddenly dispersed.

Ethan frowned.

The sealing stone had a property of scattering all energy other than divine power.

And Ethan used this property when sealing the witch Scarlet.

So what Blake was doing was nothing short of a bummer.

‘If you spread your mana, you’ll soon realize that it’s useless. Are you going to spend your energy on something useless?’

Anyway, I wouldn’t be that stupid.

Up until this point, Ethan thought so.

“I get it! Is this evil mountain range trying to mock even my heart to protect my friend?!”

so stupid

A glimmer of hope disappeared from Ethan’s eyes.

I was a fool to expect that level of reasoning from Blake.

‘Well then.’

Ethan decided to just focus on taking the divine magic.

But Blake’s efforts did not stop there.

“Heh heh heh! But you picked the wrong opponent. I, Blake, never forsake my friend’s friendship! No matter what happens, I will protect my friend! Even if I have to sacrifice this life!”

At that voice, Ethan suddenly got a chill in the back of his neck.

‘Wait a minute.’

The sealing stone had the effect of suppressing other energy except for divine power.

And the more the object to be sealed struggled with emitting its own energy, the stronger it tended to be crushed.

But what if Blake forcibly raises powerful mana like now?

‘crazy!’

It was the moment Ethan’s thoughts went crazy.

Paah!

Eventually, what I feared happened.

As the powerful mana spread around it, the divine power that had been extinguished inside the sealing stone arose violently.

Finally, he was trying to fulfill his mission.

It was because they were precious stones and not mere stones.

For Ethan to absorb, the calm energy swept into a rough wave.

The stronger divine power completely drove away the remaining magical power of the Black Mountains.

Then, only the divine power began to flood the Sealing Stone.

‘damn!’

It was different from what Ethan had planned.

He originally intended to balance divine power and remaining magical power.

It was to increase the divine magic in the danjeon.

However, the exploding divine power pushed the magical power away in an instant.

And he recklessly pushed into Ethan’s body.

“… … !”

It felt like my whole body was being torn apart.

Ethan clenched his teeth and groaned.

Then he heard the cry of a white fox in his ear.

🥺! 🏳️‍🌈!

Even the white fox seemed to dry Blake.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! okay. Are you, a mere little girl, aware of my resolve and cheering for me?”

Ethan screamed inwardly.

‘That idiot! Why don’t you know that even that mere creature knows?’

Ethan’s stomach exploded at Blake’s misunderstanding.

But he couldn’t open his mouth.

When dealing with this kind of energy, it was not possible to open one’s mouth carelessly.

In the end, Ethan had to bear it all.

‘Damn it! No more… … !’

It was a moment when Ethan’s mind became distant for a moment.

tock.

Ethan lowered his head as he felt something moist.

The white fox put her nose on the back of Ethan’s hand.

“… … !”

Ethan’s eyes widened.

Paah!

And like Ethan, the white fox began to glow.

The white fox shared the burden of the stronger divine power!

Ethan’s eyes, which had been blurred by pain, opened.

‘okay! Well done! You’re way smarter than that stupid motherf*cker!’

Ethan wanted to give the white fox a round of applause.

Aww!

The white fox looked up at the sky and howled as if guiding a mighty divine power.

The fox’s howl was small.

However, the divine power that had overflowed into Ethan’s body was shot into the sky through the white fox.

A pillar of light appeared out of nowhere in the Black Mountains.

It was an unbelievably sacred sight.

A cold sweat ran down Ethan’s forehead as he looked at the pillar of light.

Ethan barely removed his hand from the sealing stone.

‘Sa, I lived!’

Ethan was delighted.

* * *

A pillar of light cut through the darkness of the Black Mountains.

Even in the lake where Scarlett was, the sight was clearly visible.

Scarlett muttered in surprise.

“This… Sealing Stone’s energy? Why is that?”

Soon her fine armies frowned.

‘I didn’t even tell you about the Sealing Stone.’

Initially, she gave Ethan and Blake limited information.

Only the white fox, a spiritual creature created by the sealing stone.

Priest Ethan looked quite clever.

But he was not an adult, so he probably lacked experience.

On the other hand, the mercenary side seemed to have a lot of experience, but it was easy to deceive because it was somewhat immature.

So, with limited information, he was going to move the two according to his own intentions.

However.

“Fufufu. I ate one.”

Never had the ignorant Kaden Hanson’s disciple moved so wittily.

As soon as they caught the white fox, they would have run to here screaming.

It must have been something the priest named Ethan had done.

“It was a good research material.”

Scarlett’s taste buds with regret.

The white fox was born as a young fox was exposed to the sacred power of the sealing stone and transformed into a spiritual creature.

So Scarlett caught the white fox and tried to study the spirits.

But there was a problem.

Scarlett couldn’t catch the white fox directly.

The white fox was a spirit creature derived from the sealing stone that sealed Scarlett.

On the other hand, Scarlett was a magician who had been sealed by the Sealing Stone.

each other was at odds with each other.

So I was trying to use Ethan and Blake.

However, the plan absurdly failed.

‘A boy who was only about sixteen could see through me?’

Either that or I was born with amazingly good luck.

Scarlett’s red lips drew an arc.

“Well, how are you? I found a funny guy after a long time.”

If Ethan had known, he would have been horrified.

Scarlett floated into the air and destroyed the magic circle of the clear lake that had been sealed.

The sealing stone has now lost its power, so the only way to get rid of such a magic circle was to eat cold soup.

‘Ha, there is nothing more to see here, since I lost the spirit.’

Now it was time to leave this place.

“Did I say Ethan?”

With those words, Scarlett disappeared.
