    Episode 91

    Among the lower-ranking demons who have served the demon nobles since ancient times there were those who sincerely swore loyalty to the nobles rather than submitting to them by force.

    They were called ‘devil servants’.

    “A servant? “What do you mean?”

    “huh. It’s the devil I’ve always ridden. “He’s a shape-shifting demon who has the ability to transform into a horse like that if he wants.”

    Esil’s eyes shone sharply.

    “Could it be that you keep pretending to be a horse because you’re afraid of becoming a slave like other demons?”

    “Well I guess I’m still in the same situation of being shackled anyway.”

    “At least they won’t die while being used as expendable items like that.”

    Coincidentally in the distance a slave demon was whipped by the overseer and eventually died.

    On the other hand the number of horsemen pulling the cart seemed to be less than that of the devils.

    Certainly if it had been transformed into a horse it didn’t seem like it would be easy to kill it like Esil said.

    Suho who was looking around while listening to Esil’s explanation nodded and said.

    “Then let’s get closer to that horse. “He can talk right?”

    “huh. of course. “I have to ask what the situation is here.”

    Suho and Esil secretly approached the place where Esil’s horse was.

    Fortunately the number of supervisors was not large so it was not very difficult.

    “Nukira.”

    “…?!”

    Esil approached the horse and whispered in a low voice and the horse recognized Esil and opened its eyes.

    Then he hurriedly looked around and opened his mouth towards Esil.

    “Esil! You’re alive! “I heard that he passed away a long time ago…!”

    Suddenly tears welled up in Nukira’s eyes and she looked like she was about to burst into tears.

    However I was afraid that if I stopped pulling the cart I would attract the attention of the supervisor so I continued to pull the cart at the same speed as before and talked to Esil.

    Because of the situation the words had to be urgent.

    “Esil! It’s dangerous to stay here! “Why did you come back here!”

    “Nukira what on earth is going on here?”

    “that is….”

    Nukira looked around once again and answered in a quick tone.

    “Not long after all the nobles passed away another demon took over this place.”

    “Another demon? “You mean a devil not a noble?”

    “yes. According to rumors it is a devil that grew in strength by devouring the devils who died in the War of Lords.”

    “They ate the demons that died in the war… Are they the remnants of the army that escaped during the war?”

    “Most likely.”

    Shake!

    At that moment the cart being pulled by Nukira stopped.

    “Esil please hide somewhere for now. “The supervisor will be here soon.”

    At those words Suho and Esil quickly hid in a dark place.

    Then the huge demonic overseer came over glanced at the ores Nukira had brought and nodded.

    “Empty the cart and go back.”

    “Kihi hin.”

    The sound of a horse flowing from Nukira’s mouth.

    Then he tilted the cart with his back foot spilled the ore on the floor and started going back the way he came.

    As the supervisor walked away again Nukira’s eyes turned to Esil who was hiding in the distance.

    “…Esil you need to run away from here quickly. “If the tyrant’s ears hear that there are surviving demon nobles something really dangerous will happen.”

    “I see. “Where is that tyrant?”

    At Suho’s question Nukira’s eyes turned to Suho.

    This man seemed not to care at all about what he had said so far and was ready to go find the tyrant at any moment.

    “Who are you….”

    Esil asked Nukira who hesitated one more time.

    “The inspector is coming again. “Answer quickly first.”

    “Eshil. yes. He doesn’t appear in this workyard. Because other demons might betray him at any time he usually stays in his own home and only occasionally appears in the Colosseum.”

    Since ancient times the Colosseum has been a playground for demons who enjoy blood and battle.

    But now it has simply become a place to publicly execute demons who disobey the tyrant’s orders.

    “The tyrant continues to grow stronger by eating the dead in the Colosseum. “They only show up when the edible ones appear in the Colosseum.”

    It’s the Colosseum.

    Suho’s eyes sparkled.

    It was then.

    The supervisor was coming this way again.

    “Nukira for now I’m working. “Let’s talk again later.”

    “Mr. Eshil….”

    Nukira’s eyes were filled with anxiety as she watched Esil’s back disappearing into the darkness out of the corner of her eye.

    Esil looked at the situation and spoke to Suho.

    “It’s not just about the supervisor. “If the slave demons find out there will be a big uproar.”

    Eshil was a devil so it was okay.

    The problem was Suho.

    “If it is discovered that humans have been hiding in the demon world all the demons we see could attack us at once. Suho: First of all you have to pretend to be a devil as much as possible… okay?”

    When I turned to the side I saw that Suho had already taken off his top like the other slaves.

    Then the solid muscles are revealed.

    In particular due to Ammut’s harsh training these days Suho’s body was developed to the limit with his muscles being torn and destroyed countless times.

    Suho stored the clothes he took off in his inventory and then put on some rags that were lying nearby.

    Anyway among the demons there were quite a few races like Esil that resembled humans so the external conditions were somewhat similar.

    But an important problem remained.

    “Weak demons won’t notice at this level but the problem is Magi. Those with good senses will quickly notice that there is no demonic energy coming from you.”

    “How about this?”

    Hearing Esil’s words Suho raised ‘Volkan’s horn’.

    Thanks to hunting down a lot of demons a while ago Volkan’s horn had currently absorbed more than 40 demon souls.

    This Volkan’s horn itself was a devil’s horn but the devil’s energy was overflowing within it.

    Esil who realized what Suho wanted now had no choice but to hesitate.

    “You really want me to go in again?”

    “Isn’t it true that you shouldn’t be noticed anyway?”

    “That’s… right.”

    If Esil transformed into a spirit and inhabited Volkan’s horn he could change the size of the sword as much as he wanted.

    The fact that something can be made big also means that it can be made small.

    “If I make it small and hide it in my body won’t you think that I can feel the devil’s energy?”

    “…Okay whatever. “That would be the cleanest way.”

    In the end Essil could only sigh and nod.

    In fact the act of Eshil a demon noble entering the horns of a lower-ranking demon than himself was quite a blow to his pride.

    But not once or twice but now we have come too far to talk about pride.

    When Esil finally nodded Suho suddenly asked one more question.

    “Oh then maybe. “Can you change the shape as well as the size?”

    “form? which…?”

    “for example….”

    Suho smiled meaningfully.

    Ber previously said that the demon named Volkan was enormous.

    It is natural that the horns are enormous.

    However the bodies of demons capable of spiritual embodiment can freely change their size and shape so while they were being refined into weapons Vulcan’s horn was compressed to its current size.

    That means.

    ‘Maybe something like this is possible?’

    [Volkan’s horn feasts on the devil’s soul.]

    Seaaaa….

    As Esil seeped into Volkan’s horn like a ghost Volkan’s horn began to gradually change in size and shape.

    Then….

    “I thought it would work.”

    Before he knew it Volkan’s horns had changed and stuck to Suho’s head ‘like real devil horns.’

    [He’s been wandering around here and there lately and now he’s thinking about putting devil horns on his head.]

    Esil’s sighing voice came into Suho’s head as if he really couldn’t stop him.

    “If you’re going to imitate the devil anyway let’s do it properly.”

    Suho grins and touches his own horn.

    Seeing the figure who had now turned into a devil in name and reality Ver made a pouty face and gave a thumbs up.

    [It’s really amazing! As expected our Solord…!]

    [Okay now just use the pickaxe like everyone else. Don’t get whipped by the supervisor for fooling around for no reason.]

    * * *

    Bang pound pound!

    ‘I suddenly became a mine slave.’

    Suho purchased a pickaxe from a store window and was naturally mixing in among the slaves to work with the pickaxe.

    Anyway my strength stat was high and I had experience as a miner so picking axe wasn’t difficult at all.

    ‘Daily quests are much harder.’

    Bang pound pound!

    But an unexpected problem arose.

    Because Suho was so good at using the pickaxe other slave demons began to glance at him more and more.

    “Who is that one-horned devil and is he so powerful?”

    “It’s a brutal use of a pickaxe.”

    From Suho’s point of view he was trembling but to the other slaves even that was an incredible speed.

    While the demons were whispering Ver sneakily appeared and spoke to Suho.

    [Little Lord it’s nice that you’ve disguised yourself well but shouldn’t we find the Colosseum first?]

    “Wait. “I’m thinking about it now.”

    [It looks like you’re working too hard with the pickaxe for something you’re thinking about…]

    In fact Su-ho was so good at using the pickaxe that the slaves ended up completing their daily quota much faster than usual.

    “Wow…!”

    “It’s over!”

    “Now I can finally rest!”

    “This is all thanks to you!”

    Thanks to Su-ho’s great performance(?) the slave demons who were freed from endless labor burst into cheers around him.

    Amid the loud commotion the supervisor who was far away approached us with long strides and threatened us.

    “These again! Not working and being lazy… hmm? “What is this?”

    “Director we’ve met our quota!”

    “Can I take a break now?”

    The slave demons proudly showed the ore that Suho had dug up to the supervisor.

    However perhaps because he did not like that arrogant behavior the supervisor’s expression became grim.

    “How dare you insolent bastards! Are you taking a break from work already? I could have done this normally but I’ve been lazy all this time! “From now on dig up this much more!”

    “That kind of thing…!”

    “How can you be so unreasonable…!”

    “Did you just force it?!”

    bang!

    “Wow!”

    One slave who was protesting unfairly was kicked by the overseer and thrown into the wall.

    Then the slave demons became distraught and scattered again carrying pickaxes and shovels.

    Suho also quietly moved among them trying to get out of the supervisor’s sight.

    But then.

    “There’s a single horn. “You guys stop.”

    Suddenly the supervisor called Suho and stopped him.

    When I looked back the supervisor was glaring at Suho the main culprit of this situation with a disapproving gaze.

    ‘Could it have been discovered that he was human?’

    [no. Rather than that he just looks offended that the slaves dared to ask him to take a break first because of you. Basically these half-baked guys are more authoritative. furthermore….]

    Before Esil finished speaking the supervisor looked Suho up and down and showed his teeth with a vicious expression.

    “Looking at him he used quite a bit of strength. “I will send you specially to the Colosseum.”

    Heh!

    It was not Su-ho who was shocked by the overseer’s words but the slaves nearby.

    “No matter how I give the reward it won’t be enough so it’s so harsh…!”

    But from the beginning the supervisor was the law here.

    “Follow me.”

    The supervisor who pointed out Suho immediately turned around and walked away somewhere.

    Suho started following behind him without saying a word.

    At that time Ver made a fuss in a voice that only Suho could hear.

    [oh my god! Did you really have this big picture in mind from the beginning? Indeed he had an outstanding talent for drawing since he was young!]

    “….”
