Demon King

Chapter 16. Monster Heart 3

Sometimes, the rules that I set myself were as stuffy as tying a few layers of thick chains around my body.

That was the rule of not killing and eating humans who are not against me.

There were those who were clearly evil in front of me, but I felt frustrated that I couldn't stand up and kill them, even though there was a group of "hunting" who treated the Elijah like a monster.

Even though they can see through their accidents and know how they will behave when they face me, they can't act until they see it with their own eyes.

What a stupid, pathetic, hypocritical act.

Nevertheless, it had to be kept. To protect my little humanity. To prove that I was human once.

The heavy chains are the chains that bind me and the armor that protects me at the same time.

That's why I was as active as I could as long as I kept the rules.

“What is this? ”

The guild master of the Phoenix Hunters, who led dozens of men to the dungeon, set a trap for a man in his late 30s.

It is a trap spread out on a wall made of wolf hide, bone and mane hair.

“‘I'm protecting the Chosen One, so go back’...? ”

He made a sound and read a sentence.

Yes. The trap I created was a letter with the support of leather as paper and letters of fur on it.

As far as my vision could reach, I could perform this trick with a Lunatic Trickster that could consume the desired material to create the desired trap.

“I see you have a partner. ”

That's what he said. Then, he laughed in disgust.

“Yes, because of his partner, he's been able to escape like this. Probably looking for the lead in this dungeon right now. Someone who knows the location of all the stairs. ”

It was the head of a group of judges. I didn't expect to come to that conclusion so soon, but I thought it would be possible unless I was stupid, but it was faster than I thought.

“Hiding near us now, Chosen One. ”

A greedy smile came to his face.

“I came looking for a missing catch, and there was an incomparable large fish waiting for us. You want me to go back? You can go back as many times as you want. With two monsters' throats! Find them! Get them around without a second glance! Speed is life, so move fast! ”

At that moment, two things were released.

The first one was a chain that was tied to my name that wouldn't let me move.

The second is a trap disguised as a letter.

The effect of the trap was very simple, because the time it took was nothing and the material was nothing. It simply explodes the contents of the trap in all directions at the moment it triggers.
