Desire

Azin is accustomed to torture, and Horunklaus is not accustomed to pain. Nevertheless, Horunklaus persistently resisted. It was not because he had a lot of loyalty to Harvest, but because he was thoroughly excluded from being a traitor when he was created by Harvest.

“S-kill... kill... me...”

The synthetic creature groans on the bloodied floor. Even if you have a strong body and a strong spirit, you will be destroyed and lured in front of a more overwhelming force. Azin looks back down at such a homunculus. But I had to admit it. He inflicted hundreds of fatal injuries, exposed all his intestines, pulled, torn, and inflicted all kinds of pain on the body that appeared to be human. Nevertheless, Horunklaus is not dead. Even now, the wounds inflicted by pain were regenerating rapidly.

“I can't use it. ”

Azin mutters like that and rubs his blood on his hands. While Ajin was doing so, Devello took care of all the Mages and Black Wizards in the Colosseum. Azin's orders this time were not complete slaughter. Several fierce-looking Mages and Black Wizards sit down overwhelmed by Devello.

“If you had just told me, it would have been less work for each other. No... I can't blame you for this. That bastard, Harvest, was more thorough than I thought. Annoyingly.”

Azin raises his hand, saying so. When I grabbed the hand that was stretching out and turned it into a fist. Phew! Homunklaus' body has been completely destroyed. The ruined corpse can no longer regenerate. Azin looks down at it and looks back.

“What about people?”

“I haven't released him yet. You told me not to. ”

Devello replied, "I'll let them go, but it's important who saves them." If you order Devello around for no reason and they think he's a savior, something might be bothering them.

Azin approaches the vanquished Mages and the Black Wizards. Overwhelming was the only thing sitting on your arm and leg, but none of them wanted to escape. It may seem like a chimney, but seeing how Devello's sword mercilessly slaughtered the other Horsemen and Black Wizards, he gave up his resistance ritual.

“Let's see...”

The settled horsemen and black wizards were about twenty. Azin glances at them and asks.

“Are any of you confident that you're on Harvest's side? ”

No one answered Azin's question. I thought so. She doesn't believe in others. Perhaps the only thing standing next to Harvest is Hidden Piece, who looks like the girl who taught him everything.

“I shouldn't have asked. Then... one of you. Can anyone tell me what she did to this city?” There were a lot of guys who raised their hands in a hurry. They argued before thinking that they could save their lives if only they could answer well. Ajin listened to them quietly, without interrupting their words. And when all the stories are over,

“Well done.”

Azin shakes his hand, saying so. A black darkness rises and swallows everyone who was sitting on their knees. They left no screams, no bodies. He did not say that he would let me live if I spoke well in the first place, and even if he had said that, he would not have felt any remorse.

Through their stories, Azin was able to gain a thorough understanding of what was happening in Lebacore.

“Crazy bastard.”

Even if Azin did a lot of terrible things, he would be a good man compared to what happened to Harvest. In less than two months, it was not enough to put an end to what had happened in Lebacore. Even Devello's slight emotions made him look unworthy.

‘But it's better. ’

Haves has done some artistic garbage, which makes him more valuable for what to do next. Azin chuckles because it's fun. First, we decided what to do next.

Aim for the Human Factory. Human beings are still being produced there in real time for the fun of the demons.

‘If she's not an idiot, she'll soon realize what's happening in the city. ’

Despite Lebacore's size, Harvest, the Wizard, will be able to efficiently understand what is happening in this great city. Especially since this time he ambushed the Colosseum, the amusement park of the Horses, and killed one of the homeuncles who used to manage it.

It was not so pleasant to see Harvest on the line now. I'm not afraid of her, but if I did, I'd have to scrape his insides and save more humans before I could go on ahead with her. Catching harbeth is the next thing.

Ajin liberated the humans and xenogens who were imprisoned in the Colosseum. To those slaves who saw themselves with unbelievable eyes, Azin introduced himself as Duke of Sericrapa. All those who were saved by Ajin heard the name of Ajin and shed tears of emotion. I had to. If Azin hadn't come here, he would have waited for them because it was only the end of his miserable and painful death when he was treated as a toy by the Mages.

Ajin leaves the rescued humans in the Shadow Room and escapes the Colosseum. No, I didn't stop there. I swung my hand a few times to destroy the whole Colosseum. This was a clear signal from the city of Lebacore.

Something is happening in this terrible city.

It's not for the Demons. It is for all the people who are being abused in this city. Your pain is over. Someone's here to save you.

A miracle happened.

“Let's go.”

Azin looks away and says, Devello nods without a word.

“... What? ”

With a trembling headache, she presses her temples together. My headache and I have always felt different. This, like a kind of loss, comes with clear pain for Harvest himself. One of the homuncluses, who was spiritually linked to Harvest, is dead. I've given you the senseless immortality to regenerate in an instant, even in a daze of fatality. Such a Horunklaus no longer rises and vanishes.

Who the hell is that? ’

Haveth's face distorts. The homuncluses created by Jabesh are powerful enough not to become a battle unless they are more than Earl horses. with all the knowledge that Harvest has and thousands of trial and error. At one time, she did not doubt that she would win the game through them, but the synthetic life she created was only as powerful as the Earl of Mahjong.

When I got to know him, I felt miserable, but it was clear that he was still strong. At least there wasn't anyone in this city with the capabilities to do anything about it. Horses of equal power or greater have their own territory, because they do not come to Lebacore and live there.

Who... who killed Horunklaus? Another nobleman? Are you here to control the growth of Lebacore? Or are you pissed at me for being human? ’

If that's not it.

Is that what this is about?

She looks down and thinks. I chose Lebacore to avoid the eyes of the nobles. It was all about making Lebacore a living hell and dragging other little horses, black wizards, and witches into it.

Beneath her feet lies a giant hole. There were so many humans there that they could not be counted. Technically, they're not human. It is artificial life produced in a human factory that looks and acts like a human, but is not a human. Tacky puppets that cannot be called homuncluses, and the life of a fly that cannot live for more than a few years due to the aftermath of forced growth. But it was enough to use as a sacrifice. The soul that was imitated and possessed was thin, but the value of the sacrifice was still there.

It's just not efficient enough. Ten puppets must be used to replace a normal human being. In the same situation, there are tens of thousands of ‘real people’ and the distribution of 'real people' was a lot of difficulties, and even if it were possible, you would get the attention of the other nobles.

So I decided to use dolls. The factory produces a lot of humans every day, so there were no big problems. In order to add even more value, I brought together many black wizards and witches in Lebacore, and even the hordes with shoddy powers.

No. Exactly. Lebacore itself is a giant trap. It is not yet time, but soon the Grand Magic will be complete. A great magic that sacrifices everything in Lebacore.

‘It's not time yet. I can't be held back right now... no. Are you even in control? The camouflage was flawless, and if you want to accuse him, he'll come to me himself. Why the fuck are you in town? ’

Jabesh chews his lower lip in confusion. He puts his hands on his head and focuses his mind. As her consciousness widens, Lebacore's gaze flashes into both of her eyes. Scan what's happening in the city. All the horses that were planted in the city were the eyes, ears, and brains of Harvest. All the information they saw was summarized and entered Harvest's mind. Accepting all the information in this giant city into the brain. If it were the body of reality, the brain wouldn't be able to withstand burning, but in this world, this ignorant method is possible. In the beginning, Haveth's avatar has transcended human memory capacity by pumping into the brain all the information it absorbed with its black arm.

It's just an unpleasant headache. When the sore pain subsided. She closes her eyes.

“Ugh...”

The red-blooded eye mover trembles. I tore open my eyes and bled.

“Ahhhh!”

She screams and howls. Every time he rolls his feet, the space shifts, and the bodies of the dolls that he put in the holes flutter. They were carefully collected, but it was difficult for harvez to stay sane in the current situation.

“Ahhhh! Ahhhh! Fuck, fuck! Argh, you son of a bitch! ”

With such a loud voice as to vomit blood, Jabesh pours out a curse. Understanding the situation in Lebacore, she learned all about what was happening in the city. Ajin and Devello entered the city and flew in the middle of the street. They raided the Colosseum, killed Homunklaus and the Horsemen, and kidnapped all the humans they had enslaved.

Yeah, I can take that as just a fucking Hefning if I end up disappearing. But Azin wasn't finished with it. Factory. They're after the factory. This moment is also on the move to bring down the factory.

Haveth grips his head as he pours out insults. If the factory collapses here, there is a serious disruption to the plan. I don't know how I can fix it if they feel like it's a really, really shitty thing to do if the factory collapses and they just back off, but if they see what they're doing, they don't seem to be willing to back off.

“No. No. No way...! ”

She chews her lower lip and wears a robe. Then I left the room in a hurry.

Whether killed or fed, I had to stop him first by meeting with Azin.
