Damned 13th Regression – 37



Episode 37 – Partner and Contractor

There are no rules.

Bill Howard thought as he picked up a piece of floating stone that had fallen into a pool of blood.

There are no rules in this world.

No fucking foster parents.

There’s no need to go to a failed school.

There’s no need to wake up early.

‘You can do whatever you want to do.’

That’s who I am now.

“These kids are completely stupid. “Did you think you would be fooled if you carried a fake northern flag?”

“It’s easy. It’s easy. I’ve already collected 7 floating stone pieces. Now if we just collect the pieces from the saber-toothed tiger’s den we’ll have to float to the fourth floor.”

Bill’s colleagues giggled as they kicked the naked corpses.

This was already our third party hunt. Bill and his friends were a separate team from the western murder group.

Although it was a small team of only 5 people it was able to escape the attention of large groups because it was a small number of people.

The combat power is somewhat low to attack a team of nearly 10 people with 5 people.

However they attacked only the party that had just finished the boss battle and was full of casualties.

Using Bill’s avatar which specializes in surprise attacks the exhausted party was instantly destroyed.

“Move quickly. “I might call for backup since three people escaped.”

“good. miss. Let’s have some fun later.”

“Huh…”

At the base of the tree was a woman with both her ankles broken.

It was a trophy captured at a party. Her eyes contained a variety of emotions.

Resignation to the situation.

The desire to survive has not yet disappeared.

And the fear of what lies ahead.

How do we look in her eyes?

A beast without morals or ethics?

okay. In a way we are animals that have escaped from a cage.

“We can do anything.”

“no. “I can’t.”

A blue-silver blade grazed under Bill’s chin.

“uh? Bill…”

“huh. “He’s dead.”

[Activate C+]

The 228cm long blade draws a sharp half moon.

As the tip of the blade touched the floor another killer collapsed in a miserable state.

For a moment he looked dumbfounded by his colleague’s blood flying around.

The three hunters still alive were scattered with all their might.

Of course one of them’s spine was cut cleanly before he could even trace his footsteps.

Donoroff ran as fast as he could leaving his colleague’s despairing face buried in the mud.

‘Why is that damn bastard here?’

A dark red hood soaked in blood. A mask of a vicious dog with its teeth exposed.

Even though he always travels alone he has the power to easily blow up a party or two.

One of the leading killers on this uninhabited island.

It was the unidentified killer ‘X’.

‘Damn it! Don’t come. Please don’t come this way. Buddha! Please save me just this once! If you put me in this hellfire you can do that much right? yes?’

Donorov from Mongolia prayed earnestly.

This was the first time I had prayed so earnestly since a human body was abandoned on a mountain without the police knowing.

Two intense explosions are heard behind the back. After that a shadow fell over Donovan.

Kwasik!

“Wow!”

Two solid feet hit his back as he ran.

The compressed muscles are twisted and the spine is instantly misaligned.

Donoroff fell to the floor in excruciating pain.

Cheolpuk

The head of a colleague who had run away in the opposite direction fell in front of him.

Despite the pain only one thought dominated Donoroff’s mind.

‘He died.’

For some reason a chuckle could be heard from behind Donoroff.

Donoroff who suddenly felt the weight on his back disappear prepared for his final struggle.

An item that paralyzes parts of the body upon contact and injects deadly poison.

‘Carina Spider’s Fang’

Donoroff took out the reward for killing up to the third floor and looked back with bloodshot eyes.

The expected X was not there.

As if the pain from stepping on the back plate was a lie there were not even footprints left on the mud floor.

“Hehehe. Hehehe.”

Donoroff who was looking around hysterically finally burst out laughing.

I intentionally let go of all the game I caught.

In this case the purpose of substitution is twofold.

Either a maniac who enjoys killing like a game or a maniac who wants his fear to spread far and wide.

It is currently unknown whether Donoroff will join other killers and prepare for a new hunt or whether he will hide his identity and join a safe large force.

The experience of being entangled with a crazy monster will be passed on to new colleagues as valuable advice.

“Thank you so much for your help. This grace…”

“I’m sorry for interrupting you.”

A silent stab.

Red blood flowed from between the woman’s clean eyebrows.

[The devil world achievement ‘Kill 50 people on a deserted island’ has been achieved]

[Currently the desert island murder ranking is 2nd]

Several notification windows appeared before my eyes. But no compensation was actually given.

“Oh does the Yataedo I gave you last time fit your hand?”

The succubus Liliane the manager of the third floor was floating above Gonghyeok’s head.

“uh. “I’m using it to my advantage.”

“No matter how much of a hunter you are if the blade is longer than 2m it is difficult to handle it. It’s easy to use. “It’s not for nothing that I have the advantage of being a martial arts master.”

Liliane flicked her tail and placed her hand on Gonghyeok’s shoulder.

“Well you faithfully kept your promise to deal with 100 people up to the 3rd floor. Please continue to improve your performance… There is nothing more I can say. “Here’s your reward.”

When Liliane waved her finger once a halo of light appeared.

[50 navy blue coins are given as a reward for ‘killing 50 people on an uninhabited island’]

[The title “The Real Beast of a Deserted Island” has been obtained. When worn the agility value increases by +25 and the amount of bleeding against humanoid enemies increases by 1.5 times]

[The evil demon Lilianne adds ‘Lava Dinosaur Protection’ as an additional reward]

“This is the Department of Protection. “If you use it against that Tyrannosaurus a defensive wall will be created in front of you mitigating some of the impact.”

Liliane looked over the small amulet pouch and sighed.

“Oh I’m actually really sad. As for me I hoped you would use us more than the angels. Let’s do the quest with Azazel first. Even if you did the Massacre quest rather than the Great Ark quest I was thinking of giving you enough rewards. “Hey.”

Lilianne acted coquettishly and wrapped her arms around Gonghyeok’s neck.

Gonghyeok seemed to be weakened by the bright eyes that did not resemble a devil so he answered calmly.

“okay? Then give me the massacre quest.”

“Oh really? As expected I thought that would be a good fit for my brother. I will walk all the way to the 4th and 5th floors over a long period of time through a linked quest and will definitely receive great rewards. Should we cancel the Great Ark quest immediately?”

In Babel it is extremely difficult to save someone’s life rather than kill them.

On that principle most murder quests had weaker rewards than salvation quests.

He said this to Lilianne who was blindfolded while linking the quest to avoid being discovered.

“If you play around with the contract and subtly cancel the Great Ark I’ll cut off all your fingers.”

Liliane whose veins slightly rose on her temples at Gonghyeok’s harsh words asked with a smile.

“Ah there you are brother. Normally you can’t get the Great Ark quest and the Massacre quest together right?”

“It’s not that you can’t get it together but rather than killing half and saving half it’s probably because the reward is better for one person to succeed.”

“······. Yes that’s right. So I’m saying this for my brother. “If you’re saying it’s because the compensation isn’t enough it’s not like I don’t have any means.”

Liliane swam in a circle around Gonghyeok and looked down.

“Oppa would you like to sign a contract with me? Every time you achieve various achievements you will be rewarded with attractive rewards ranging from special abilities that rival your avatar to contractor-exclusive items.

There… Um no I’ll keep this a secret until I get to the 5th floor. “If I tell you now I think I’ll be treated like a woman who shows off too much.”

Liliane smiled and looked at Gonghyuk.

‘It came out. ‘A contract between the devil and the hunter.’

A devil’s gift usually presented to hunters who have lost character or are unwilling to use any means.

The story she kept secret was ‘the transaction after the extinction of humanity.’

A traitor’s deal to become a member of the Babel Demon tribe and ensure survival even after humanity is destroyed.

Gonghyeok was still masterfully conquering Babel so it was time for Liliane to swallow the story.

“It’s a contract… “I already had something to say to you because of that.”

“Tell me anything. I have nothing to hide from you.”

“The bat wings that fought the Tyrannosaurus last time. “You’re a devil contractor right?”

Liliane sweatdropped and looked away.

“hmm······. “I can’t reveal that under the terms of the contract.”

“I’ll cut off his wings and eat them.”

“Brother~ That’s a contractor-exclusive item so it disappears when you die~ There’s no need for that just sign a contract with me and you’ll get a variety of items…”

“Are you barely a slut? Looking at it I don’t think I’m a knight of the cloth but how much support can I get if I sign a contract with someone like you?”

For a moment the corners of Liliane’s eyes became sharp.

Lilianne is a thousand knight level demon. However because he was a demon who was looked down on even among the demons he could not become a knight of Heaven even though he had the corresponding skills.

Even though there were about 120 seats left.

Gonghyeok’s words became a dagger and struck Liliane’s complex.

“You know the term ‘Thousand Knights’… The same thing happened when I called Sandalphon last time. “It seems like your brother’s avatar is a style that connects to Babel’s system.”

“Liliane. “That’s not important.”

Gonghyuk brought his face close to hers.

“I’ll give you a contract. Thousand Knights. “Do you want to become one?”

“······.”

“It’s not just the Thousand Knights. Among them the forty-four spears of Bel Marduk are prominent. and···.”

Gonghyuk exaggeratedly spread his arms and looked at Lilianne.

“The great demon Grand Duke Lilianne. “It’s a truly sweet sound.”

“······. “Please don’t say anything absurd.”

“It’s not absurd. While the other Heavenly Knights and the Twelve Grand Dukes’ contractors were struggling the wise Lilianne’s contractor was doing a great job during the great war between the Four Heavenly Kings of the 40th floor demons. Of course ‘surgery’ will be necessary to prevent other contractors from acting recklessly.”

“Where on earth did you hear that?”

“fizzle!”

Gonghyuk’s gesture to be quiet.

“You coward Lilianne. That’s not important. you are the devil The devil’s title depends on how capable contractors he can recruit. “Isn’t that right?”

“I know you are capable. but······.”

“no. You don’t know how capable I am. As a proof of that will you give me this quest?”

When I lightly whispered the name of the quest in Liliane’s ear her eyes brightened.

“That quest in this situation? You are completely crazy. “What are you planning to do?”

“me?”

His lips move as if mocking him.

‘Kkeongpan.’

A hand went behind her and pulled her tail.

Wow! With a short scream all strength left her body.

The other hand wraps around Lilianne’s waist which boasts perfect curves.

And lips that overlap naturally.

Naturally exploiting her weak point Liliane’s lips were captured in the nick of time.

A look of embarrassment is evident in Lilianne’s eyes. Nevertheless her cheeks were flushed clearly showing that she was in a good mood.

‘Oh my god I’m not a girl who just turned 100 I’m the only one like this… It’s the swing bridge effect right? ‘Is it an illusion?’

Gonghyuk spoke to Liliane whose girlish feelings were blooming for the first time in a while.

“good. Partner Liliane. Heavenly Knight Demon Grand Duke. “It all depends on your choice.”

Liliane burst out laughing at the story that followed.

“What path will I take? “It’s up to you.”
