“Help… Really!”

“Then, I will free their captain and return this city to its original state.”

Iba made a public statement. He said he would bring this demon city back to normal.

In other words, it meant that he would give up his freedom.

“…This, this bar… What does that mean…?”

Wiz asked back in bewilderment.

She has been with Iva during the many regressions she experienced during the demon of death and knows how much he longs for freedom.

No, it doesn’t take that long. Even if she only spends a few days with him, he will be able to hear enough of his praises of freedom.

She didn’t know what a great sacrifice that remark was for him.

He who has always wanted free and independent sleep, who hates being treated as a demon, expressed his will to return to being a human.

Of course I was embarrassed. Wiz seriously pondered over what was wrong with Iba.

“Gu, is it really necessary…? I-I just need to save Stella and Lilia… Ooh, let’s be happy together…”

Actually, Wiz didn’t hate this city. Because she could be with the people she loved.

No matter what kind of external pressure comes—even if the pope forcibly orders it—the world is so small that you can never fall into it. This was enough for Wiz.

Wiz’s world was made up of people. The size of the world didn’t matter. What matters is people. He was only a man It was a world where she could only love where there were people she loved.

So Wiz couldn’t properly accept Eva’s remarks. How could she easily accept that the person she loves would become unhappy herself?

Not only

How can we accept that statement that tramples on and tears the happy imagination of family formation?

“I, Iva… Don’t do that… Why are you doing that… You want to be human…”

Wiz countered his comments about undoing both her own happiness and her Iva’s happiness.

“He said he didn’t like a body that couldn’t sleep without our help… He said he didn’t like a body that would surely be hated wherever he went…”

That was true. Eva loathed her own situation.

A life in which one cannot keep the most basic right, the right to sleep,

Wouldn’t one’s existence be a pain to someone wherever and whenever one goes, wouldn’t this many people hate oneself and persecute oneself, a life in which one has to keep one’s family in one’s heart and be vigilant?

Who would happily accept this kind of life? Of course, neither was Eva.

But he had to give up being human.

“Wiz, my freedom is less important than the pain of the person I love. I can give up enough for them.”

At the same time, he had to give up being human.

“This is the person who accepted me as a non-human. How could I give it up.”

The person who accepted Eva so that she could be human even though she had the body of a demon, and the person who clearly has proof that he was human. Eva couldn’t give up on them.

It is said that madness follows love. Madness that changes people. The madness that makes you give up any values and goals you had.

Giving up freedom was part of this madness.

“…Everything, another way… Yes, there might be another way. Iva, there is another way without you having to yield or sacrifice…”

“There is no such thing as Wiz.”

“….”

“As a candidate for the hero, you know that well.”

The devil is a creature and a phenomenon at the same time. To erase the power of the devil is the same as to erase all the power that the devil currently exerts on the world.

The process of bringing out the numerous people sealed by the demon of order soon becomes the process of erasing all the influence the demon has had on this city.

“And if I don’t have to make sacrifices or concessions. What about the countless other people who neither chose nor had the power to choose in the first place?”

It may be a hometown where you have lived your whole life, it may be a religious pilgrimage, it may be for theological study, it may be for tourism. A lot of people in this city are obviously not chosen.

People who have never tolerated their city being twisted at will, nor have they chosen to have strangers in the forest come and harass them. Innocent people who didn’t even have the power to resist that choice.

The fact that Eva did not sacrifice meant that they would be sacrificed.

“Well, who would want to choose something like that in the first place?”

No one would have chosen to be harmed or to commit a crime in order to be compensated for it.

“Just because I give up my freedom doesn’t mean I will die, and I won’t be locked up anywhere for the rest of my life.”

Eva smiled. Compared to those currently suffering from the demons of order, what he lost was minimal.

“It’s okay if you think that you shouldn’t be greedy in the first place.”

“That’s not it!”

Wiz refuted.

“You… Deserve to be free enough… You are enough…”

Iba looked at Wiz for a while and then smiled again. This time she wasn’t self-deprecating.

“Yeah, that’s right. Thank you.”

“I-Iva wants that… Yeah, I like that too. I’ll follow you. If that’s your decision… I’ll follow it no matter what.”

Wiz eventually passed on to Iba. She had no choice but to do so. She promised to always be Iva’s ally.

If he really wants to act, she just complies.

“Wait a minute!”

The elf who joined just before shouted.

“What are you talking about all of a sudden! How could the traitor who murdered my mother help the captain! Captain! Please tell me something…”

“Noisy!”

She lashes out at her subordinates who have not yet properly grasped the situation.

“Ephea, face reality! We are weak! A weakling who has neither the knowledge nor the power to save his superiors! A weakling who has nothing to say even if he is beaten by citizens! Still don’t know We are in no position to cover anything!”

The sullen elf, Ia asked Eva with her excited face behind the elf called Efea.

“So, what are you going to do? How are you going to save our captain? As far as I know, you said you lost your demonic powers…”

For a moment, Lee Ah’s expression hardened.

“Wait, did you lie to me? I pretended not to know that I was able to use demonic power from the start because I bothered to cling to it…”

“How could that be?”

Eva was dumbfounded. A person called the unit commander could only think that much. His gaze changed from bewilderment to contempt.

“If that was a lie, why would you have set the mood just now? Why did you take that form? Of course it’s not a lie. However, there is a way out of this state.”

Actually, Iva had a method in mind from the time she asked to save her captain. A way to get this city back to normal.

However, I only thought of the method but couldn’t execute it. It was because I hadn’t made a promise.

And not now.

Iva has devised a way to not only restore the city to its original state, but also to give the Demon of Order sanity.

“You need two superpowers. One is Ia, your ability. The other…”

Eva took a deep breath and looked back. Empty space with nothing. To be precise, the place where the shadows sat down deeply between the various buildings.

“Rumia.”

I called the girl who had been following Eva ever since she came to this city. The identity of the gaze that I had been feeling until now.

“I need your superpowers.”

A very delicate assassin’s footwork. A presence that was suppressed to the point that most people couldn’t even feel it. In fact, it was a skill so high that even Eba didn’t notice. However, that pretending to be popular was the one I remembered.

The Rumia seen from the future, Iva remembered that she used these skills.

“…Me?”

A person came out of the shadows. A girl with a cute impression wearing animal ears. The elves felt both the shock of seeing a human popping out of nowhere and the shock of seeing a beastman for the first time.

“Four, a person in the air…!”

“The ears of a beast on a human head… Are mysterious…!”

Not paying attention to the elves’ fuss, Rumia asked Iva.

“Oh, since when did you know?”

“From the beginning.”

“My first time… I will work harder in the future!”

“No, you don’t have to. Who knows but me?”

Eva smiled kindly.

“Besides, Lumia, I said I was your lord?”

Now is not the time to choose means and methods. She was an Iva who hated being possessed by someone as much as being possessed by someone, but she decided to become Lumia’s master for now.

“So, Rumia, I will order you.”

Eva unbuttoned her shirt a little, exposing her chest. Her Wiz swallowed her dry saliva on that pure white skin.

Unfortunately. What he was about to do now was not such a trivial thing.

“Prick me with your superpower.”

“…Yes?”

Rumia’s ability. Ma Cham-hwan.

A special ability that can cut off all kinds of magical things.

“With your supernatural ability, you will be able to break the rules the Demon of Order placed on me.”

Rumia hesitated. Wiz and the elves were also stunned and doubted whether he meant it.

“Rumia, this is an order.”

“…If it’s your order.”

“Wait!”

Rumia moved before Wiz could get all her heart. Before her words could reach Rumia, a solid red line formed on Iva’s chest.

Very beautiful straight lines. Straight scars.

Soon blood gushed out, and the solid red line became a plane that colored the air. Rumia’s cheeks were smeared with that hot blood, and his blood splattered onto Wiz’s palms as well.

It’s only for a while that the blood spurts out.

Gradually, the bleeding became wet.

“Ah…”

Eva frowned and caressed her breasts. The wounds that existed until now disappeared as if they never existed.

“It really is over now. I couldn’t even sleep properly… Ha f*ck.”

A crimson butterfly began to fly over his shoulder, and small stem-like wings sprouted from his back.

Looking around at the crowd, he smiled mischievously.

“Return to this body.”

Now that you have obtained the demon’s power, you must go face it. Like Admiral Lee Jae-Ji, it is best to deal with the devil as a devil.

The way to meet the demon I had to deal with was simpler than I thought. No matter where you go, the center is connected.

“Now, I need your superpowers. Ia.”

So we arrived at the Vatican, where the city’s misfortune began. The Holy See was surrounded by an invisible wall. At the center of this barrier, the Demon of Order is located.

I asked for help from Ia, who was right next to me.

“Move me into that barrier. Is it possible?”

“It is possible, but what are you going to do?”

“What? You said it earlier.”

It was natural.

“To save Captain Neg.”

To save a demon just like you, who started out as a human.

“…Okay. Take my hand.”

“Please be kind.”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

As I held Ia’s hand, I felt the surrounding scenery gradually distort. Dimensional refraction peculiar to space movement.

I looked back and greeted the others.

“See you later.”

The last one was, of course, a smiling face.

Soon the view reversed, and I was standing indoors instead of outdoors. What I see right in front of me is a book. A leather book that has been turned over casually, but feels unreachable and authoritative.

It was a demon of order.

Apparently nervous, Ia swallowed her saliva.

“Oh, you can go back now. It will only get in the way anyway.”

“…Now what are you going to do?”

Ia asked. I replied, licking my lips and loosening my hands.

“Good job.”

I remembered the last conversation I had with the old man of the World Tree.

I want to be a good person.

Now I am putting those words into practice.

“I intend to bring chaos, confusion and disorder to this world!”

The wings spread. The building shook violently as if an earthquake had occurred, and dust and debris fell from above.

“Mu, mu, what are you doing!”

“Order never overcomes evil!”

The demon king candidate has reappeared in the world.

“I will stain this world with evil!”

The only way to defeat the Demon of Order.

Destroy order.

This was my only thought from the beginning.
