Chapter 104: Chapter 104
"Do you even know how to open this warehouse?"
At Suho's question, Ver nodded coldly.
[At least this much of the shaman's staff can only be torn apart by force.]
Then, Berga flew to the shaman's staff and nicked the blue flames of the shaman's staff with his fingernails.
Pussuk.
At that moment, the flames of the shaman's camp faded and the hidden space beyond opened its mouth.
"It is open."
Suho immediately prepared for battle with two Volcan horns in both hands.
I didn't know what would come out of this.
Unfortunately, however, the one waiting inside was not an enemy.
rather the opposite.
[Obtained 'Item: Devil's Essence'.]
"Essence of the Devil?"
Suho picked up a ball the size of a fist with a puzzled expression.
[Item: Devil's Essence]
Difficulty to obtain: ??
Type: Jewel
This is a sealing sphere where countless demonic souls are sealed.
Breaking it can free the demons.
While checking the item information, the horn of the Volcan held in the other hand vibrated.
As if it's sad that you're full.
Suho also licked his lips as if it was a waste.
"It's really too bad. If I had discovered this sooner, I would have been able to strengthen Volkan's horns more easily."
After Volkan's quest was over, the demon's soul was no longer of any value to Suho.
"I'll take it to Esil and ask him."
Suho put the devil's essence in his inventory.
The demonic essence was not the end of the items in Itarim's warehouse.
[Your little lord, you found something important.]
Ver, who was rummaging through the warehouse just in time, found something and brought it back.
['Item: Itarim's Slate' has been obtained.]
[Item: Itarim's Slate]
Difficulty to obtain: ??
Type: Stone Slate
A stone tablet with the language of Itarim engraved on it.
A special spell is cast.
Vera pretended to know.
[I know what this spell is. During the war, I clearly saw that Itarim's troops used this to communicate with each other.]
"Communicating with stone tablets?"
[yes. The problem is that two of them are a pair, but seeing that there is only one here...]
"The other one must be holding the other one. Like the one who sent the mad tyrant this way."
[There is a very high probability of that.]
Suho stared at the stone slab of Itarim and thought about how to use it, but nothing came of it.
"Once you have this, there will be a day when you will use it. That side will contact you first."
Suho put Itarim's slate into his inventory.
"Looks like I have nothing more to gain."
I wondered if the mad tyrant had used this meteorite as a secret base for storing the demonic souls he had collected or contacting other apostles.
"Let's go back now."
* * *
"Where did you get this?!"
As soon as Eshil saw the 'Essence of the Devil' Suho handed him, he was astonished.
"Come and pick it up. Do you need it by any chance?"
"I can feel the souls of a great number of demons in here! Could this be something from a mad blooded tyrant?"
Suho nodded at Eshil's quick-witted words.
"It seemed so. If you break this, the demon spirits will be released. Do you know what will happen if you release them?"
"It is literally free. Demons don't die even if only their spiritual bodies remain. While floating nearby, you will be possessed by an irrational creature or demon beast and reborn as a new demon."
"If I kill it then, level up?"
"No, your brain is salted from leveling up..."
Eshil shook her head and sighed as if she couldn't stop it at Suho's words.
"The newly born demons are so weak that they won't even help you level up. Rather, it would be much more helpful to recruit them as my own people and use them to rebuild this land."
"okay? Then you have to break it right away."
shit.
Suho immediately broke the demon's essence.
Then, the spirit bodies of countless demons began to come out like fireworks.
Wow!
Kihehehe –
Kyaaaaaaaaa!
Along with him, the dreary laughter was heard from all directions.
Numerous specters trapped in the demon's essence spewed out evil energy while spinning around Suho and Esil.
And in order to find the delicious body in front of you and possess it, your mouth drools with sinister eyes...
[Kiii...?]
But they were quite quick-witted.
All of a sudden, the owner of the body closest to them was Esyl, a demon aristocrat, and they sneaked back, aiming for a more easy-going opponent.
That's Suho.
Because he was only human.
[...]
But the moment they saw Suho, they realized it.
Because he was in a spiritual state, he had no choice but to know.
Being human was just a shell.
In the shadow of Suho, a deep and gigantic abyss spread far and wide like an abyss.
[Hii Interest!]
The ghosts were much more surprised and began to run away than they found Essil.
If you go in there, you will die!
They were not just going to die, but a fear that even their souls would be eaten!
"Why are they like that?"
"don't mind. Now I'm going to find little things that I can understand and possess."
"Hmm. Are demons born that way?"
"that's right. Even if we die, as long as our souls remain, we can always possess another body and be reborn. That is the essence of spiritualization."
The things that Eshil had been possessed by the sword of protection were part of that ability.
"The devil never dies. only to be reborn But the moment you get a new body, most of your previous memories disappear, so you can just say that you die."
Eshil muttered as she watched the demonic souls scattering away.
"They are probably the demons who fought against the mad tyrant. If they had been sealed separately, they would have been coveted souls even from the point of view of a mad blooded tyrant. If they get a body and are reborn as demons, they will be of great help to us."
It was a pleasant sound to hear.
* * *
After that, Eshil worked hard to unite all the demons of the land around the Colosseum.
Slaves who dug ore for war got their freedom overnight.
However, it was only the ruler who changed, but their daily lives did not change significantly.
"The gods from outer space are attacking?"
"The mad tyrant was also a pawn of the foreign press."
"Somehow I thought it wasn't an ordinary devil."
"Then what about us now?"
"Is there anything wrong? If enemies come in, just fight back and that's it."
"Then you will need a weapon."
Then, without question, the demons started picking up their pickaxes again.
And even though he was not whipped by the demon guards, he began digging ore with his own will.
That action was not because of Eshil's orders.
In the first place, demons were not a race that feared battle.
Rather, they were not the ones who enjoyed fighting strong opponents and regretted it even if they were weak and were eaten.
The reason for this was the belief that even if one dies, he or she becomes a ghost and is born anew.
However, even for them, the existence of a mad blooded tyrant was too frightening.
The mad-blooded tyrant was a terrible guy who burned even the souls of demons with blue flames and took away their entire bodies.
"I can't be bothered by the tyrant king again!"
"Khehehe. It's a war! War!"
"Let's prepare for war!"
"For Ladir!"
"For Essil Ladir!"
blood.
A demon aristocrat, Eshil, only appeared, but the demons began to unite around Eshil.
As much as that, the existence of pure blood had great value to the demons.
Suho, who was watching these scenes, was curious and asked Ber.
"What is pure blood, why are they so actively obeying? Maybe that's what I think?"
Vera nodded.
[you're right. Only purebloods deserve to be demon lords. After all, they want Eshil to become the new monarch one day. Only with a monarch can the demon realm, which has been torn into pieces like now, merge into one world again.]
When Suho first met Esil, Esil was clearly being chased by demons.
But in the end, the demons just wanted to eat her and become a demon noble themselves.
Furthermore, it must have been his will to rebuild the demon realm by gaining the qualifications to become a demon lord himself.
"This is all thanks to you, Suho."
Esil thanked Suho.
"I still haven't regained my original strength. Even right now, if those demons attack all at once, it is certain that they will be eaten helplessly. But it's thanks to you that no one dares to think like that now."
All the demons in the Colosseum watched Suho defeat the mad tyrant with overwhelming power from start to finish.
As long as the very existence of the guardian protected Eshil Ladir, no demons would dare to challenge the Ladir family.
But peace never came.
The reason why the demons themselves are preparing for war now is because of the fear that a new rabid tyrant might appear with a meteorite at any time.
In order to do that...
"First of all, I have to regain my original strength."
"With bloodstone?"
"huh. Now that I'm the owner of this land, I'm going to pick up some bloodstone from the lower demons and eat it. It's called a 'tribute'."
There were many uses of bloodstone, but the biggest one was for demon nobles to continuously absorb the blood of lower demons to maintain their power.
"But if you drink too much blood at once, all of your subordinates will die and the number will gradually decrease. So, the point is to continuously suck up metallurgy metallurgy. Now like this."
Eshil spread her hands wide toward the demons who had come to follow her.
OK.
Whoops!
"...!"
A bit of blood was drawn from the demons' bodies and formed into small beads.
Wow!
It was truly spectacular to see dozens and hundreds of those black marbles flying towards Esyl and being absorbed.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" Suho,
who was watching Esil accepting the power with an ecstatic expression, could notice that the energy he felt from Esil had gotten a little stronger.
"Did you see it? It's like this. Now, it's just a matter of time before I get back to my original strength. But it's not like I can pick and eat bloodstone every day, so I have nothing else to do right now?"
Even if he came to rule the demons, he left the little things to the demon attendants anyway.
Even the old devil, who was Volkan's servant, had less work when Eshil took it as his servant.
Realizing what Eshil was trying to say, Suho smiled and held out his hand.
"Good. Then, for the time being, I'll work hard again as a member of my guild."
"Yes, guild leader. Will you take good care of your salary? Even if I look like this, I am a noble in my hometown, so the ransom is a bit high."
Esil smiled brightly and held Suho's hand.
"Let's go back now. to Earth."
