Episode 468
Ss …
The red energy flowing out of the mandala slowly began to wrap around Morgant’s legs like a snake. However he felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
‘It seems a bit strange to call it a contract ceremony.’
Morgant looked up and looked at Titus who was reciting the spell with a serious expression.
Although he couldn’t explain it logically the demon’s keen senses were sending him a warning.
Morgant who decided that his own safety was more important than the souls of the Samjian clan flew straight out of the mandala.
Phage crackle!
However he was unable to escape from the mandala and was only bounced off by an invisible wall.
He glared at Titus and shouted with a murderous intent.
“How dare this lowly insect!”
A green glow arose from Morgant’s body.
A strong green blast spread out in all directions trying to break through the invisible walls of the mandala.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk―
However the red energy flowing from the mandala offset Morgant’s speculation.
Morgant was flustered and drew his sword not knowing that a mortal from the world of the living could block the magic of the demon world.
“I will skin you and tear your soul out myself!”
Morgant shouted in anger raised his sword and rushed at Titus.
But Titus was still busy reciting spells and maintaining the mandala.
It seemed as if Morgant’s sword would pierce Titus’ heart at any moment.
At that moment dozens of chains of light shot out from the floor.
Clang! Clang!
Morgant who was rushing towards Titus was bound by Solomon’s chains and was unable to move.
Morgant his limbs bound in chains looked at Titus and shouted.
“Ugh! Hey you! Release this right now! Otherwise I’ll suffer eternal pain where I can’t die even if I want to…!”
Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

While he was screaming a black mist rose from the ground and soon gathered together to form a human shape.
Morgant’s expression hardened as he saw the completed person.
“Hey you?”
It was Zeke Draker who had been hiding in the shadows who had revealed himself.
Zeke said as he looked at Morgant.
“It’s an eternal pain where you can’t die even if you want to. Have you ever experienced such pain?”
Morgant realized from the beginning that he had been deceived by Zeke.
By opening the door himself he was ushering his greatest enemy into the security zone.
Morgant glared at Zeke and Titus and cursed.
“You coward! Are you a knight after doing that? If you are a knight then confront me fair and square!”
Zeke snickered as he listened to Morgant’s stubbornness.
“It’s funny to hear you say things like ‘upright and fair’ coming from that demon. After all you tricked Titus into signing a contract and tried to swallow the precious souls of the Samjian clan so you’re incredibly shameless.”
Zeke had already figured out Morgant’s true intentions.
He added as he approached Morgant.
“And by the way do you think you could beat me if we fought fair?”
At that moment Zig revealed his status and pressured Morgant.
Kugugugugugu―
He was horrified to learn that the power Zeke was hiding was beyond his imagination.
‘How on earth can a lowly human being….’
While Morgant was confused a shadow rippled behind Zigg’s back.
He took out Levatein and aimed it at Morgant.
“You are not even worth sealing. Just quietly disappear.”
Shhhhhhhhh
Levatein cut off Morgant’s head.
Morgant’s body whose neck was cut off by Zeke’s sword slowly sank into the shadows.
Zeke put his sword away and turned his head to look at Titus and Yuleena.
“You both did a great job. Thanks to you we were able to get in here without being caught by those guys.”
Titus and Yulina’s faces flushed slightly as if they were pleased by Zeke’s praise.
After easily eliminating Morgant Zeke came out of the mandala and approached the energy device.
Inside the giant glass tube a mass of magical power like a purple cloud was constantly supplying magical power.
Zig was curious about the identity of the mass of magic that continuously created magic power within the device.
‘What on earth did you use to be able to supply magic power so stably?’
He walked over to the device and examined the control panel.
Zig who figured out how to operate by reading the information with the dragon’s wisdom and clairvoyance gradually lowered the supply output of his magical power.
Then the purple mass of magic power that filled the glass chamber began to slowly shrink.
When the entire mass disappeared Zeke could not help but be surprised.
‘person?’

Inside the glass case was a young child with purple hair.

‘This is annoying.’
Nigel found the controls strapped to his wrists and neck quite annoying.
However there was nothing he could do because if he used his original powers wrongly even a little he could immediately end up in a paradise and go to the Peach Blossom Land.
She glanced at the huge piece of meat in front of her and immediately put down the knife and fork she was holding.
Then a beautiful voice like rolling jade beads was heard from the other side.
“Oh my why aren’t you eating? Doesn’t it taste good? I should go and kill the chef.”
Despite her beautiful voice what she said was nothing but murderous.
Nigel looked at the being sitting in front of him.
A luxurious dress with a dazzling blonde hair white skin like jade and an elegant form.
She cut the steak with elegance and put it in her mouth and to anyone who saw her she looked like the daughter of a prestigious noble family.
Except for the two horns protruding from her forehead.
“If you don’t like lizard meat should I ask them to bring me some other meat?”
Nigel opened his mouth to face the demon sitting in front of him with an annoyed expression.
“What are you doing now?”
The demon laughed at her words.
“Ah. Me. St. Sha. My name is Anastasia.”
Nigel gritted his teeth at Anastasia’s words.
“Does this mean I’ll make a deal with the devil?”
“Nigel I’m just doing this because I want to get to know you better. The deal with the master doesn’t really concern me. I’m just delivering the message.”
The identity of the person who appeared to be a noble lady in front of Nigel was the incarnation of the Demon King one of the six demons of the Demon World.
She was a top-tier demon who had surpassed the upper-tier demons and was stronger than most demons thanks to the power of the Demon King. As a noble of the demon world she possessed great strength despite her delicate appearance.
Nigel looked dumbfounded when he heard Anastasia say that.
“A demon wants to befriend a Highlander. I’ve never heard anything like that before.”
Anastasia shook her head at Nigel’s words.
“No really. If you think about it there’s really no reason for us and the Highlanders to fight.”
Nigel’s eyebrows quirked at her words.
“What kind of nonsense is that?”
Anastasia put down her knife and fork and picked up her glass of wine.
She said to Nigel savoring the aroma of the wine.
“What the Highlanders want is to maintain balance in the phenomenal world right?”
Nigel had no answer to Anastasia’s words.
Anastasia took a sip of her wine as if she hadn’t expected an answer anyway smiled contentedly and said to Nigel.
“As expected wine from the realm of the living is much better. Since crops don’t grow well in the Demon World it’s hard to make good wine. Did I mention that? There was a time when I bet precious wine as a condition of a contract… Oh what was I saying?”
Nigel looked at Anastasia with an annoyed expression.
From the first time I met him this demon has always been like this.
He would appear to be missing a screw but at crucial moments he would throw out an important topic.
Anastasia looked at her glass of wine thought deeply then looked back at Nigel and said.
“Oh right. We were talking about balance. Sorry I’ve been out of my mind lately. I guess I’ve been living too long.”
“Okay then finish what you were saying. Unless you want to test my patience.”
She put down her wine glass and said.
“That’s what we ultimately want to do. To bring balance to the phenomenal world.”
Nigel chuckled at that.
“Is this the madman’s delusion that he wants to create a new world after wiping out all mortals in the phenomenal world?”
“No no. I don’t mean to do something so barbaric. Think about it Nigel. This world was wrong from the start.”
Nigel glared at Anastasia with a fierce expression.
“It’s because the damn demons you follow are ruining the phenomenal world. If you’re going to keep talking nonsense like that then get out.”
“You’re a bit impatient. Think about it Nigel. Strictly speaking the primordial light that created this world destroyed many civilizations and recreated them countless times in order to create a world that it liked. Wasn’t the many lives that disappeared back then less valuable than the lives in the current phenomenal world?”
Nigel was momentarily speechless at Anastasia’s words.
Then Anastasia smiled and continued.
“The constellations rebelled to stop the ruthless destruction carried out by the Primordial Light. In the end the rebellion was successful and the Primordial Light disappeared. Only then did the civilization of the phenomenal world continue its history without disappearing.”
Nigel echoed Anastasia’s words.
“You guys are trying to ruin the history of the phenomenal world again.”
Then Anastasia shook her head.
“That’s not true Nigel. I and the Demon Lord have been pondering this issue for a very long time. Is the current phenomenal world functioning properly? Our conclusion is that it is not.”
“That is the arrogance of your demon world. The very idea of controlling the phenomenal world with your own decisions is foolish.”
Anastasia said with a bashful smile.
“Nigel has piled up a lot for us? But that doesn’t matter. I like Nigel.”
She put down her wine glass and snapped her fingers.
Then a screen appeared in the air and countless scenes moved around on it.
There were ‘humans’ in it all.
“Look at this Nigel. What do you see here?”
Nigel was silent.
Anastasia said staring at the screen.
“Humans human beings human beings. This phenomenal world is filled with humans. Since when has it been like that? Since when has this land been a land for humans only?”
Her expression was frozen coldly unlike before.
Anastasia said pointing at Nigel.
“Nigel you would be able to empathize more. You too are a survivor of a species that was wiped out by ‘humans’.”
Nigel looked at those words with a look of incredulity.
“Don’t talk nonsense. I was driven out by the Ilgakjok and survived until now. The Ilgakjok brought about their own destruction.”
“Really? Do you really think so?”
As she asked and moved her hand another screen appeared.
Inside surprisingly a village of Ilgakjok was visible.
Nigel’s eyes wavered for a moment at the sight of the village he had not seen in a long time.
Anastasia said.
“The Ilgakjok are not completely gone yet. The survivors live in the harsh and barren lands beyond the Eternal Mountains of the Eastern Continent.”
Nigel couldn’t help but be surprised that the Ilgorac tribe was not wiped out.
But that was it.
For Nigel who had already transcended race the news of his own kind did not give him much excitement.
Anastasia said looking at Nigel.
“Nigel it’s the humans who caused this. The humans invaded the village and left this barren land….”
Chijijijijijik―
At that moment Nigel’s body sitting across from Anastasia blinked and slowly disappeared.
Anastasia clicked her tongue when she saw this.
She got up from her seat with a helpless look on her face and snapped her fingers together.
Wooooowoong―
In an instant the surroundings changed.
Tsk tsk tsk―
The splendid reception rooms disappeared replaced by dark and bleak stone buildings.
Anastasia also transformed from the attire of a noble lady into a silver-haired woman wearing a skin-tight leather outfit.
She said this as she looked at Nigel lying in the sarcophagus with cold eyes.
“Even my own kind can’t attack. As expected the Guardian’s defense is strong.”
She looked at the list floating in the air as she delved into Nigel’s mind trying to find a way to break the seal of the Black Star.
It was filled with keywords that would stimulate Nigel’s mind.
“Hmm I’ve tried pretty much everything. What’s next…?”
For a moment Anastasia’s eyes flashed.
“Zeke Draker. Descendant of the Dragon Slayer and her only human disciple.”
Anastasia muttered lowering her gaze and caressing Nigel’s cheek as he was sleeping.
“Okay Nigel let’s have some nice dreams this time.”
