The Live

Wadeuk, Wadeuk -

It's poison, it's poison-

Chewing bones, tearing flesh.

Belzebub closes his eyes to the sound coming from inside the bedroom. I knew what it sounded like, so I couldn't open my eyes.

Ew.

Belzebub opens his mouth to the sound of the snarl.

“May I come in? ”

“Come in.”

Queek -

A tall, thick door opened and a large bedroom appeared inside. Ten were sprayed with red blood all over the big bed where they could lie.

Above that, Baloch, who cut off his black hair, was licking the blood on his arm. He looked at Belzebub and asked,

“What's wrong with your face? ”

“…… nothing. ”

Belzebub spills blood in the room.

I was not alone in the room from the beginning. Inside, there were several female demons.

But now he was alone.

There was only one reason.

‘You ate it. ’

Eats the same demon.

It's been a few times already. Baloch was satiated by eating his own kind.

At first, I heard groaning. With the relationship, Baloch resolved the desire that had been accumulated. It faced many female demons, not one.

After that, it was appetite.

His appetite was crooked. What Baloch began to eat was not food, but other demons.

“Don't you like what I've eaten? ”

Barefoot, he strokes his stomach.

Lots of demons have already gone into the belly. Although life is not precious, Belzebub is nauseous at the sight of Baloch dividing his people into a single meal.

Baloch said with a satisfied face.

“It's the best food. It's a rare food that no one has ever tasted. You won't be able to leave once you taste it, either. ”

“…… I'm fine. ”

“Yeah? That's too bad. ”

Baloch puts on the clothes he left by his side. Bellevitt opened his mouth as he looked at Baloch, who was grooming and putting his clothes on.

“We're getting ready to go. ”

“Tsk. Useless. ”

Baloch chokes his tongue as if it were a nuisance.

Preparing millions of demons was pointless. Baloch finds them all annoying and worthless.

It's because he is confident in his strength. The reason Baloch has not moved so far is to regain his strength, not gather troops and build an army.

“How are you feeling? ”

Baloch was a difficult man to get to.

He was a relentless demon with no one to oppose among the Demon Kings. All desire and a mass of sin, that was Baloch.

Balock was sealed for hundreds of years, and he needed time to reclaim his power.

Eat, sleep, be lazy. I loosened my appetite and released my appetite.

With it, Baloch regained his strength. In fact, he's been in the best shape for a long time.

“Status? ”

Seek-

Baloch's mouth opens and smiles.

As I looked at that smile, Belzebub felt a fear he had never felt before.

If he had his heart, he would have torn his body apart and gone into that belly.

“Excellent.”

The best.

Belzebub was afraid of the answer, but one side of his chest became stronger.

Yeah, it is.

Baloch's strength was the best. He was more powerful than anything he had ever seen.

In fact, it was difficult to describe him as the Devil.

Despite the many demons and the horsepower of many Demon Kings, he was considered an outsider.

“Where's the key? ”

Baloch's question answered Belzebub, squeezing his head down.

“He says he's still with the monarch. The dragons say the bait has been thrown. ”

“Really?"

Balock smiles and turns his gaze out of the window.

“I'm getting tired of this life, too. Good. ”

The desire that had remained silent for centuries has been resolved enough so far.

I ate, slept, enjoyed, and became lazy. With all that desire locked away in one giant mass for hundreds of years doing nothing, it took time to unravel it.

I lived like that for months.

There was still enough desire. It never ends no matter what.

But now was the time to bear it for a while.

“A greater pleasure awaits. ”

Soon we will meet the keys of Humans.

Baloch's eyes gleam. Bellevitt's body trembles from the flesh rising in his jewel-like red eyes.

Baloch's eyes were reminded of one person.

‘Zahar……. ’

The Key of the Sealed Humans.

Baloch's fangs pop out of his mind.

* * *

Oops.

The door opened again.

Zahar said there.

“Come out.”

“ ……. ”

The door hasn't reacted for a while.

Zahar, who was waiting for a moment, said in a slightly louder voice.

“Come out.”

“Isn't it time yet? ”

The weary voice returns.

Soon, Yoon Jae appeared inside the door. I looked exhausted.

Zahar said to come out again with a gesture of his hand. Yoon Jae was forced to leave the ghosts who were fighting and came out the door.

“That must have been hard. ”

Yoon Jae's corners were not words.

There are no injuries to the body, but the clothes you're wearing are torn and scattered.

Above all, I had the most horrible look on my face.

The exhausted and tired face seemed to collapse soon. It was about how hard Yoon Jae had been for the past few months.

“It's worth it, though. ”

Unlike what he said, his face was not like that. Zahar thought it would be better if Yoon Jae came out this far.

Of course, I couldn't rest comfortably in the future.

“Things got a little out of hand. ”

“What do you mean, wrong?”

“Vallock is free. ”

According to Zahar, Yoon Jae's expression hardened.

His tired face stiffened. Yoon Jae gripped the sword in his hand and asked again.

“Balock?”

“Yes."

“Why did he get out of there so suddenly? ”

“The dragon set it free. ”

“No way.... ”

Yoon Jae muttered as if it were ridiculous.

“He ate the dragon. I saw the corpses of the dragons around him. ”

“I know. He eats everything. A mass of all desires, including appetite, sexual desire, and sleep. That's the guy named Baloch. ”

“You're saying the dragons freed the monster that devoured their own kind? ”

“I don't know if it's the dragons or one, to be exact. ”

Zahar talks about warmth, the leader of the dragons who came to him.

In fact, Zahar didn't know much about dragons either. I know what they are, but I don't know all of them.

“Why are the dragons already moving? ”

“Because you've been watching me. ”

“You?”

“I've hated them for a long time. You're sure of that when you see me helping you. ”

Zahar narrows his eyes.

“You're in danger. ”

“ ……. ”

“The one who came to see me told me. Don't betray them. Well, that's an answer. I gave it back because you guys hated it.... ”

Sitting on the grassy couch, Zahar supports his head with both hands.

“Anyway, things got complicated. I didn't think they'd smell it first. ”

The dragons start to move first.

It was not what I expected. Originally, the first to attack the dragons was a unity of humans and angels, including Yoon Jae.

But the dragons moved first, unsealing Baloch?

It was no different from that of the dragons and demons who held hands.

“I heard Balock was the key to the sublet. ”

“That's right."

“Why didn't he die? ”

“Immortality...... There's no other way to explain it. ”

He also knew the tough life force of Yun Jae.

Now that I've seen you cut yourself in half and still be alive, what other explanation do you need? It was my ability to sigh.

“You still have the key qualification, don't you? ”

“I will. A guy named warmth must have done the math to get Baloch out. ”

“What's Baloch like? ”

Balock and Yoon Jae had already had a fight once.

But at that time, Balock was sealed. My body was restrained, and my strength was not intact.

‘If there's not a big difference from then.... ’

The same hope.

As he had already defeated him once, Yoon Jae was in a state of lax vigilance to Baloch. However, it was different that the body and strength were sealed.

Zahar knows more about Balock than he does.

“Strong, massive. ”

Zahar's remarks about Baloch were straightforward.

Yoon Jae then waited for the next word and asked.

“That's it? ”

“There's no other way to explain it. ”

“Isn't there some kind of feature? No matter how strong... ”

“The biggest characteristic is that you don't die. I've seen a lot of tough monsters, but he's actually immortal. ”

He said with a look of boredom.

“I gave up killing him. Well, even though I was exhausted... I finally sealed him up and held the Holy Grail in my hands. It's hard to tell if I beat him. ”

“You didn't win? ”

“Pride and timing, anger, laziness and greed, lust and lust. The Devil has united all these negative sins and desires. That's Baloch. His power is no different. It comes from all the negative things in the world. ”

It was a difficult story.

It didn't make any sense, and Yoon Jae looked at Zahar with a puzzled look. Zahar immediately looked at Yun Jae's face and said with a hesitant face.

“That's not what you're wondering. ”

“Yes. No weaknesses of any kind? ”

“Nothing. But I can show you how strong it is. ”

“How strong are you? ”

“Piece of Power. You can't win if you don't use it properly. ”

Cough-

Zahar pressed his hand against the center of Yoon Jae's chest.

There was another heart beating in Zahar. It was also a place where the fragments of power settled.

“Well, I think you've figured it out. ”

“… roughly. ”

“I wish you had a little more time.... ”

Immediately after sighing, Zahar said.

“Make your choice. Are you going to make a move? Or should I stay over there? ”

“ ……. ”

It's not perfect this way.

I needed more time to fully deal with the pieces. We ask them if they need more time until then or if they start moving immediately.

Yoon Jae was in conflict.

But the conflict was not long.

“First... I have to go back. ”

If Balock starts to move, he's almost ready to move.

The land of the living.

He won't forget Yoon Jae, who cut his body and collected the pieces while it was sealed.

Moreover, if dragons and Baloch are related, the goal would be to collect all the pieces.

According to Zahar, there are currently no opponents on the human side who can stop him.

“I knew it. ”

Zahar, who had been watching Yoon Jae for the past few months, knew the nature of Yoon Jae.

On this side, Yoon Jae had a strong sense of responsibility. If I thought it was my role, I didn't cover the fire for it, and I had to do it.

Yoon Jae has now taken Baloch against himself.

Probably don't have to worry.

Seeing Yoon Jae's eyes, he seemed quite confident.

“Then take good care of her. ”

Zahar waves his hand at Yun Jae.

I said goodbye.

Yun Jae bows his head to Zahar.

“Thank you for everything. ”

I didn't intend to show myself out. Zahar watched Yoon Jae leave the temple.

‘You're going fast. ’

It seemed urgent.

Maybe he's trying to tell others what he's learned and prepare to fight.

From now on, he couldn't intervene. In the Holy Grail war, the monarch had nothing to do with it. Beyond this temple, you are nothing but air.

From now on, I will look at Yoon Jae as a bystander.

Please, when I see him again, I just hope I have some good news.
