Demon King

Chapter 38. Monarch of Pride 4

Mirana knows me and my abilities. The fact that I absorbed everything from the target I ate, and the power that I would have if I had her power. That's why she said it.

But does she know what it feels like to hear that?

Up until now, I've ignored her naked emotions and been desperate. Unlike the other men who were loyal to me, she had affection for me, so she was convincing of the relationship, and although she grumbled and complained,

I've never disobeyed.

After all, it was good to evolve to the top, but for that reason, I sent her back to the battlefield of the newcomers. I made a commitment that I would never let her die, but it doesn't end up putting her in danger.

I convinced myself it was okay.

But in the end, I broke even that nonsense. What is this view now? Wasn't Mirana going to die because she couldn't handle the power of Lucifer's second-best underground? I'm an idiot who couldn't even keep his word out of my mouth.

I became one.

You want me to eat myself? Is she asking me to eat her for what she swore to protect? To defeat the enemy? Kill her and save myself?

That's ridiculous.

There was blood on my head. Fear of death, embarrassment, anger, and all kinds of desires exploded at once and whitened the brain, and a violent gray Mana rising from the inside filled the entire body.

I vaguely realized that everything I ate is now completely digested.

[Level Up!]

[New Magic Power has increased by 298.]

[Soul has risen 473.]

[The Flame of Destruction has ended! You can now wield your new powers completely!]

[Domination Skill is Lv10!]

Surprisingly, at that moment, all the temptations in my head disappeared. I had a clear idea of what I was mixed up with and what I could do and what I should do.

Light spears, winged fragments, arrows filled with sky, rising lava, sword of light, and the whole world were our enemies, but we were closely guarded. The shield of light responds to Lucifer's light.

The light was protecting us.

Lucifer shouts.

[Why did you attack me like that?]

“Don't get me wrong. ”

I spoke in a voice that was neither loud nor small. It was what I said to Lucifer, and it was what I said to Mirana at the same time.

“You don't need to eat what's already underwater. ”

“underwater……? ”

I opened my eyes and raised my head. It's funny how Mirena tilts her head while vomiting blood again. But in fact, she's about to die. She can never live with her own strength because she has already crossed the limit.

Even for me, there's nothing I can do for her. My regenerative abilities only apply to me, and even if I could give them to Mirena, I don't know if I could recover from such a fatal injury.

Of course, her wounds would be limited to the body as her ability is a dishonor of the soul, but her condition is so severe that she doesn't even want to see what happened inside her.

But...

But if I can move forward a little bit, things might change.

Take Lucifer down, trample him down, and eat everyone who stands on me.

If only it were possible for another heavenly host to ascend to the throne of the true Satan, not just Satan, the shell my servants call me.

“Please...... Fate's going to die! ”

“I'm not dying. And you won't die. ”

I declared, shaking my head forcefully. She seemed to be dead by now, but she never lost her life. Even though the Ring of the Covenant is gone, our dependence remains, and that holds her lifeline. Echo of Souls

Lee must be helping, too.

Now it was the only hope. I won't last long, so I had to end this situation as soon as possible.

“But, Fate, why is this light...? ”

“Hehehe, that's me……. ”

“No, not you. You're just standing there. ”

“What……? ”

Despite Mirena's defeat, the light that surrounds us becomes increasingly intense. Lucifer casts increasingly powerful magic to protect his arrogance, but the light protects them all.

Even if Mireina possesses the power of dishonesty in her soul, it is truly strange and mysterious that Lucifer's power has been denied for so long. In fact, it's the color of her magic.

There is no. It is impossible to deal with that overwhelming power with an empty body with only one remaining magical power.

Nevertheless, the shield of light continues.

It is natural.

It is because the exerciser of power has not been Mirena since the middle ages.

[…… No way.]

At that moment, Lucifer mutters in a bewildered voice, realizing something. I laughed back and forth.

“You made a mistake, Lucifer. I'm not the only one who's eaten by corrupt angels. ”

[……! More, you filthy pig!]

There is a seventh generation sin.

Arrogance, anger, jealousy, greed, recklessness, greed, nausea.

If we look, there will be many other intense emotions and actions, but the reason why these seven sins came to the front is very simple.

Because the devil who held it with a whale was the strongest.

The seven kinds of powers were different, but the total amount of power was similar, so it was difficult for a person with one power to dominate another.

Of course, Lucifer was extraordinary from birth. It is understandable that he has become the second in the basement with the incompatible power of arrogance and jealousy.

And what about the first person? Because you were the best at eating?

Of course there is a reason, but the conclusion is slightly different. In the past, I was able to become a factor 1 because I had two of the seven forces in my body. With the power of carnival, I eat greed, one without colliding.

He used his power to become the Demon King.

And today I have gained new power.

Forgetting that someone doesn't need it, but it's a very coveted power for me.

[Other powers enhance the power of jealousy. Jealousy skill is Lv8.]

Lucifer soon realized that I had the power of my own until just 10 minutes ago.

[How...! Just because you want it doesn't mean you can get it!]

“Just as I don't understand the power of arrogance, so do you. But by my standards, it's odd that you don't eat the enormous power that's apparent to me. ”

It just took a little longer to digest. It was harder to digest because it had eaten so many heavenly bodies. No, of course, if you hadn't consumed the heavenly bodies and acquired so much power, you would have burned Lucifer's power to the ground.

Possibly.

Fortunately, I've averted the worst, and now I'm standing on the ground like this.

I reached out my hand. Mirena's eyes widen as she sees the small compressed shields that were protecting all of us in front of her hands.

“Huh, huh? This is me... Huh? ”

Yes, I was jealous of Mirana's powers, just as Lucifer had been jealous of mine and exerted similar powers as hers. It's just too late to realize it yourself. I will never be on time.

I thought.

But when I think about it, it was so natural. Despite her desperate efforts, even if the Ring of the Covenant strengthens her abilities, her abilities will never be doubled or tripled at once.

Mireina's ability to protect me and Belpegor was unsustainable so far. Her abilities did not evolve beyond a threshold to another form, but were simply revoked due to limitations.

In other words, when I stopped Lucifer's third attack, Mireina's ability was revoked, and from the moment the ring was finished and gone, I was able to deal with it with the power of jealousy.

“Why…? ”

“Am I supposed to eat you? ”

“But anyway, I.... ”

“I'm not going to die. ”

I told her again, as I increased the number of shields to stop all of Lucifer's attacks from flying.

“I never let go of what's in my hands. Don't even think about dying. ”

Someone said, looking at my past binge.

‘Your power is no more powerful but too flawed. It is a power for only one absolute person. You're gonna eat it all up eventually, leaving you all alone in this world. You're the only one left with an endless appetite.

Will it? Soon the world will end. ’

That's actually true. So I was able to learn self-control by eating greed. He didn't just end up eating, but found that he valued what he owned.

I had a side effect that caused me to covet too much, but nevertheless I was willing to accept it.

And the power of jealousy that succeeded in perfecting my digestion has finally given me balance. You don't have to eat the owner to handle the power you want, and if you're just jealous, you don't have to do anything to hurt anyone.

Although it is a sign that jealousy is never a mild sin to envy Lucifer that the beginning of an ambassador to build a world.

[Dirty...... Dirty, Fate! You filthy pig, crawling on the ground! Without knowing my fountain, I will devour everything and bring judgment upon that thickened ship!]

I stretched the shield of light while 'jealous' of his ability to create a spear of the same light as his. Of course, thanks to his magic car, the copy and the original, I was badly pushed, but it was not enough to provoke Lucifer.

It had a displeased effect.

“How does it feel to be jealous and not be able to regain the power of jealousy? Look, I'm the best under the sky, so it wouldn't matter if I had yours, right? ”

[You've always been... better...!]

Lucifer's light spills to the max. Lucifer's white light, the fastest and most powerful, arrogant materialization on the face of the earth, soared and swarmed from all sides to completely exterminate me. Raise the shield of light as you respond.

Likewise, I shed a white light. Lucifer looks at it and gets angrier.

The situation is different from before. Now that I have Lucifer's power, I have a chance to defeat him.

“Belpegor, take Mirena and step back. If you have first aid, please. ”

“I take orders from Fett. ”

I calmly instructed Belpegor to look at Lucifer, who was completely turned around and aimed only at me, and at the same time as spreading the thunder all over the place, I pulled out the Furnace. But he's still under a lot of pressure.

I realized the difference between me and myself.

Not enough pieces yet. I still have something to take back.

What he has and what I don't have.

[You have enraged Lucifer...... You will regret this!]

To win over him, I must, I must not take it back.
