- Booooooooooooooooo!
"Grrrrrrrgh!!!"
I immediately picked one of Gognija's tentacles and carried out an inhumane crossing. Unh-unh. Unh-unh. Unh-unh. Unh-unh. Unh-unh. It's a set of ten of them, and one of them is a cinnamon!
- Holy shit!
"My, my tentacles...!"
Gognija vomits despair as she looks at me as I walk across the line.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!"
- Touch!
Stop crossing the line and scream and pull the tentacles and tear them apart! If this son of a bitch gets beat up, he's got a lot to say!!!
"I'll ask you! Are the Great Demons plotting an invasion?!"
"Argh...! Oh, probably! Probably! He sent me to do so!"
"Do you want to keep going, Zagan?! From now on, I'm the only one left for you! I get it!"
"I see!"
"Respect!"
"I see!"
"So! Why did you try to make a gate!!"
"I made it because Zagan ordered it!! But I think it's just an experiment! I can't cross all of Zagan's forces with the gates I've built!"
"Yes?"
Take a look.
A demon is a butterfly, and if you inflict physical pain, you are a magician. I've done this a few times.
Even the devil is weakened in the face of suffering.
In fact, this demon is not a Christian demon on Earth, but a resident of a place called Pandemonium. Where people live is similar everywhere.
Anyway.
The tentacles ripped from this bastard are black in nature and have not disappeared. If you see him cooperating strangely there... you can see that this is the body.
"Very well. Very well said, Gognija. So, is that the only purpose?"
"Yes, I am...."
"No, but. Why would you do something so reckless when you get caught by someone like me?"
"I didn't think it was reckless... The gate could be completed in just a few more minutes…."
"Ah. You must have finished it and tried to get away with it."
"... yes."
It's not uncommon for someone as strong as me. Seeing the lord's army struggling, his purpose almost succeeded.
"Strange."
But it's strange.
- Strange.
Immediately after I couldn't stand it, I exploded my suspicions and cast a murderous Doridori Jam against my face in front of Gognija's eyes.
"Strange! Strange! Strange!!!"
- Doridori!
- Jam!
"It's so weird!!!"
"Kiyaaaaaaaaah!!"
"The Great Devil Zagan sent you!!! Then it doesn't sound like Zagan can make a gate! But why are you making a gate!!! How did you get here in the first place!!"
"That's not it! No!!!! I'll explain everything!!!"
The frightened Gognija screams in a seizure.
"It's easier to open a gate from here to there than to open a gate directly from the Pandemonium! Because there are so many human souls here!"
"Go ahead."
"Absolutely, but you have the power to stockpile it! That's why you sent me!"
Aah.
How can a great demon send his weaker subordinates? But this is not a common occurrence.
If it were common, the demons would have invaded.
But he said it hasn't really happened until now.
"How easy is it to open a gate if it's lateral?"
"No. I need to use a lot of power... and I think it was a little easier to open the gate now..."
"Yes?"
be convincing.
"Anyway, you seem to be well trusted by Zagan. But his mouth is too light for that kind of guy."
"Self-establishment is an object of loyalty, but..."
He blurs his words, and Hilde begins to explain.
"Cat, demons don't have that kind of loyalty. At Bonamana Pandemonium, I would have had an Abu Dhabi. Now that things have changed, I don't want to suffer."
Is that so?
"Is that so?"
"... yes."
"Good."
I told him very honestly.
It's the last time.
"Hey, but it's Gognija. Are the other great demons doing the same thing to Zahran? You're the only one who sent Zagan in the first place?"
"Perhaps... other demons have noticed the current situation. But I don't know their exact thoughts, and I don't think there's much room for them."
"Good."
I remember everything this son of a bitch said.
I should let the Saintess know by arranging it properly.
"All right, Gognija. I really like it. I really like cooperative demons. So I'll let you go painlessly. Claudie, sister. Please kill her neatly. I don't think I can get caught because I think I'll be absorbed if I catch him with a Bügall."
"What-!!!!"
Gognija had a seizure.
-The thistle.
Claudie and Karin swiftly dislodged his body.
- Tuwook.
The dead body fell to the ground. The barefoot meatballs and tentacles were painted with black pearls and did not disappear.
Because this is the body.
And I didn't kill him with a Bügallo.
If we had captured him with Bügall, he would have absorbed all of his power and melted his body. Now I have to take this with me, but I can't.
Enhancing Bügall is also attractive, but this time I chose the performance.
"Umm, but the demon is plotting an invasion... I can't tell you the truth, it's a little off your head."
Karin said that while robbing the sword.
"Honestly, I have that feeling, too. But you have to listen to this motherfucker."
"Cat. I think it's true that the demon is spreading the duc."
"So do I. I have to say that I feel like it's true."
Anyway, what am I supposed to do with this?
"Whatever happens, we do the same thing, right? Nigga. Now that we're done, let's get everything we can and go back."
"Yeah, let's do that."
I think it's good to clean up slowly.
"But if the Great Demon is planning an invasion... it may be very dangerous. If other great demons are using similar means, it's not unusual that one day a large gate will suddenly open."
"Oh, that's so convincing," said Shival Hilde. "
It could be real.
If Gognija's words are true, it's a big deal. It means that the Great Demons of Pandemonium know that the gate opens more simply than in the past, and they are sending the Cholera Soldier.
If you've been invading in real earnest... it must be terrible.
"Let's go back."
Then I took the body of Gognija and went to the ball. Returning to where I came from, Risha began to see me from the other side.
"Are you done?"
"Uh, what about Risha?"
Arachne's body was completely dismantled. It was also neatly organized by site, but I don't have enough parts. I asked you this, and you blew it up after the reaction.
It doesn't really matter.
"All that is worth testing is done. And I'm sorry."
Risha showed me a potion bottle with some green liquid.
"I extracted essence by combining Arachne's gut. Ari seems to be responding to this, but maybe this will strengthen Ari's power."
"Oh, really?"
Seeing Ari, she blushes her face like she's ashamed of something. This could help Ari recover his strength? It pulls the gourd.
"But I think we should go back and do some more research."
"Uh-huh, yeah."
It can't be fed right away.
"So, what did the devil say?"
"Ah, sister."
Once I packed my bags, I also informed Leeds' sister about this. Her reaction was not very different from Karin either. I've never seen a demon with me before. Honestly, I don't really feel like a great demon is invading.
Anyway, the remains of Arachne and the corpse of Gognija. And I got enough to take care of the head of the spider monsters. I just grabbed it after I wrapped it in a waterproof canister.
It's bulky, but it doesn't matter if you move it to my fitness anyway.
I took everything I could and went back to the city.
* * *
After returning to the city, I was very busy.
Once I bought something like a barrel, I picked up the carcass and put it together with Risha to preserve it. I think I can keep it fresh in my own way.
Rewards are more important than anything else.
We handed over the heads of the spider monsters that we had, and we received a very generous reward. Of course, we didn't take everything we killed.
As much as you can take care of it.
After doing that, I just sat down in the city and took a break while spending money. I then produced a report. I also need to use all of this and subtract all of it.
It's dangerous because it's a great demon invasion.
I need to pick a horse.
While writing the report, I went out to Mount Chuck to explore. Arachne is dead, but no one knows it yet.
Because I didn't tell you.
I'm just going to stay a few days and talk to the church.
Whatever it is, we need to manipulate the period appropriately.
After spending some time like that, Dieya went to this church and announced Arachne's death. Of course, the reaction was explosive, and after confirming the facts, I was promised a great reward and a treat, but I went straight back to the capital because it was urgent.
Immediately after returning to the capital, I went to see the Saint with a barrel of Gognija's corpse that had been cleaned and salted.
"This is the progress of this."
"...."
The Saint who heard my report kept reading my report and reading it.
"And this is the corpse of a demon called Gognija. He said he was a subordinate of the Great Devil Zagan. But that bastard, Arach, he killed him so hard."
I immediately opened the barrel and showed Gognija's body.
"...."
Of course, the Saint saw it and could not speak.
"This is..."
For a moment she opened her silent mouth.
"I don't know what to say. This is the most embarrassing and difficult thing since Saint Bone became the Saint of the Church."
"No, but it's possible he didn't win my interrogation and picked up some bullshit. Honestly, I don't really feel it either."
"Of course, the Saint also thinks about that possibility. But if it's real... even imagining...."
"It's not so horrible."
In my words, she nods.
"I think we should inform the churchmen after the Saint has personally reviewed this. Maybe we should make some big preparations."
Certainly it is a serious thing. I've never seen this sister so embarrassed today.
As a Saint, nothing could be worse than this. I trust me more than anything else, so I also trust the information I gather.
"You've had a lot of trouble with Paladin. It took me a while to worry about this, but I handled it very well."
The Saint who approached me touched my shoulder and said,
"Then I must give you a fair reward."
"Hmph, what are you trying to give me?"
"Well..."
She grabs my shoulder, stares me in the eye for a moment, and turns around.
"I'll let you know when I see Saint Moreau again tomorrow. Now I think we need to sort this out... more than anything else."
"Then I'm looking forward to it."
"It might take a while, so leave the schedule blank for that day."
Took you a while?
"Yes? Do you have time?"
"We need to talk about this, so we need a little bit. You can't spend time with the Saint. Is this what you're asking?"
"No, it can't be. Tomorrow we'll leave some time free."
It's hard.
Maybe you'll organize this for two days and ask me more questions. Of course it is something to do.
After saying hello like that, I left the church.
I don't know if the great demons will invade, as Gognija said.
But there seems to be a good chance.
Then there's only one thing I can do.
- Polishing skills as I have done so far.
That's enough.
With that in mind, I turned toward the street of the merchant with a snack to buy on the way home.
- Bloop.
I arrived on the side of the street and I was walking, so the paper was rolling in the wind. As a paladin, I couldn't just leave the garbage speculation behind, so I grabbed it and found something written on the paper.
