The Betrayed Devil No Longer Hides His Power

5 – Don’t let anyone live 1

“Come on, come this way!”

“Here are the wounded! Please get out of the way!”

A treatment center located inside Kirks’ base.

Due to the injuries that occurred while hunting demons and monsters roaming around the area, there was no room to set foot in many ways.

Compared to the large and small injuries that occur dozens of times a day, the number of priests who can use healing magic is always insufficient.

The priest who is working at the center of this mess.

Zeke frowned as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

‘Damn it. How many people is this? How is it that more and more people get injured?’

Zeke came this far by being tempted to pay big bucks, but now regrets his negligence in rushing after only looking at the money.

As if to prove the fact that I didn’t give you that much money for nothing,

No matter how hard he tried, the work piled up.

‘I can’t do it. ‘

At that time, his eyes full of dissatisfaction suddenly began to see a hunter with a bandage on his face.

‘Huh? That person must be… ‘

A man in a familiar outfit wearing a sign indicating that he is a high-ranking demon hunter.

Unlike usual, he was wearing a hat, and perhaps because of an injury, only one eye was showing through the bandage.

His face was unrecognizable, but Zeke could immediately recognize who he was through his clothes.

Lewis.

From noble mtl dot com

One of the famous trio, and one of the best hunters here.

He entered the depths of the treatment room at slow steps, dressed as he always did.

‘Is Ho Louise injured? That’s great, but I’ve lost money at gambling, so I’m in need of money… ‘

It was very natural in this world to want to be closer to someone who could be a little bit like the same patient.

In particular, in the case of Lewis, who is known to be quite generous in this respect, it was inevitable.

With such extremely philistine intentions,

Zeke approached Louis and spoke to him with the kindest smile he could.

“Are you okay, Luis? I heard that you went to catch a dancer. How have things been?”

Zeke asks questions based on the information he picked up while preparing the healing magic.

As the purpose is to somehow cheer up the opponent and get tips, he was rolling his head to flatter him as much as possible.

Then.

“… Success.”

“Yes?”

In the next moment, incomprehensible words flowed out of Louis’ mouth.

Feeling suspicious about this, Zeke cautiously opened his mouth.

“Hey… What was successful… “

Sudden sharp pain.

A scream came out of Zeke’s mouth automatically at the completely unexpected sensation…

Right after that, the priests in the treatment center turned their attention towards the sound.

“What… what?”

“What… !”

The scene they began to see,

It was Zeke lying on the floor, pouring blood, and the priests around him.

And what stands at the center of it all is…

“Lu… Louis…?”

“Very… What are you doing?”

Faces of priests and patients began to harden in an incomprehensible and shocking situation.

However,

Before they even thought to respond to this in detail, Lewis’ figure seemed to disappear into a blur for an instant.

And.

“Ke-heo-eok!”

“Quaaa!!!”

The sound of screams resounding inside the infirmary.

In the midst of that, Zeke, who was barely breathing, couldn’t help but doubt his own eyes.

Louise’s fingernails grew long at some point.

It reminds me of a small and sharp dagger

It started to slaughter those who were in the treatment center as it was with tremendous speed that was invisible to the naked eye.

A situation that happened unexpectedly without any time to deal with it.

In addition to the hunters who were knocked down by this,

Even the priests were helpless.

It only took about 20 seconds for everyone in the treatment center to collapse.

Even though I saw the process with my own two eyes, I couldn’t believe the result.

At this, Zeke, who was dying on the floor, could only tremble in instinctive fear.

However,

At this moment, Zeke did not know.

For him and those who are lying here.

The real hell hasn’t even begun yet.

“This is the end of preparing the ingredients… “

“!?”

His words give off an unmistakably sinister feeling.

And, as if responding to that anxiety.

Louis…

No, in the body of something disguised as Lewis,

As it was, black magic radiated out and began to wrap around people including Zeke.

And.

‘This… what is this… It’s a big deal!!!’

Zeke started twisting his body at the sudden sensation.

Black magic reminiscent of dark clouds.

Wrapped up in it, Zeke’s body rotted away along with the intense pain.

The terrible sensation of melting skin and falling flesh.

However, it wasn’t just Zeke’s body that was changing at this moment.

The fear I was feeling just now turned into joy,

As a human priest, the faith and desire he possessed have been twisted into something completely different from before.

Zeke and the ‘priests’ slowly got up from their seats immediately after the black magic had subsided.

No longer a normal human body,

They wear shabby robes on their rotting bodies,

Following the instinct imprinted in his soul, he knelt down towards the existence in front of his eyes.

-“My lord… Please order.”

A voice filled with absolute loyalty and hope.

About this their lord…

The Demon King, Arcadia Harmageddon

Glimmering golden eyes visible through the bandages, he stared at his followers.

“Rescue the demons. Kill the rest.”

When the light is strong, the shadows are also strong.

The more priests who serve God, the more likely they are to be stained with evil.

The solution given by such corrupt people creates terrible and disastrous results beyond the sins of ordinary people.

In that respect,

Those who were moving right in front of my eyes had a look that fit the story so well.

A rotting corpse wearing a black robe.

Blue energy was burning like flames in the empty eye sockets,

Beings that originally handled golden divine power, cool blue magic flows from their bodies.

Plutus.

A guide of the dead created by twisting the body and soul of the strong.

In the game, they are classified as a type of undead, but strictly speaking, there is a slight difference in that their bodies and minds are distorted, but they are still alive.

Honestly, those details didn’t matter at all, but the important thing is that, unlike the undead, who can only carry out simple commands, they have their own intelligence.

He was able to digest relatively complex commands without difficulty, and when he used the priest, he had the advantage of being able to use powerful black magic, including summoning the undead, as much as the divine power he originally possessed.

Compared to the normal undead, who are hard to expect more than a simple assault soldier, they are useful in many ways.

And now,

They were faithfully carrying out my orders, using their superior intellect and dark magic.

“aaah!!!”

“Four… save… Oh oh oh oh oh!!!”

Plutus moves forward rapidly as if gliding through the air.

They wielded scythes imbued with black magic and engaged in a merciless battle of slaughter.

A wave of black magic pours out every time you swing it.

The screams of the hunters and the red blood flowed out at the same time.

Under the power of Plutos, who instills fear with just his presence, ordinary human hunters had a hard time even holding weapons and were only killed one-sidedly.

Then…

“Come on, you filthy corpses! This Griffith will take revenge on Guts!”

A young hunter steadfastly holding his weapon and preparing for battle in the midst of mayhem.

Apparently enraged by the death of his comrade, he overcame the fear of Plutus and began to gather mana into the spear he was holding.

A silver spear containing considerable magical power.

Such an attack could have been quite dangerous to Plutos, who had a relatively weak body.

However.

“Keahhhhh!!!”

The next moment, the hunter let out a scream in sudden pain.

Then, his eyes, which had been covered with anger until just now, began to be stained with deep astonishment.

A being thrusting a sword from behind him.

It was his colleague who had just been killed at the hands of Plutus.

To be precise…

It was an undead created from the corpses of his comrades.

“Go.. Go… Tsu… How do you… “

“Gwoaaa… !”

-Quad Deuk!!

An undead that chews the heads of its comrades to avenge itself.

And after a while, the colleague who was killed in that way rose from his seat as an undead, just like the close friend who was killed by Plutos.

“That’s it… “

“Kueh… “

“That… Even Griffith got hit!”

“Run away! We have to get out of here somehow!”

The death of the one who seemed to be strong, the hunters are falling apart even more rapidly.

Watching this,

Sitting on the roof of the treatment center, I couldn’t help but feel a little bland.

‘It’s weaker than expected, but it seems that the three guys I dealt with earlier were particularly strong… ‘

Contrary to the expectation that they would resist to some extent, the hunters were being swayed so easily.

Hunters prefer to flee rather than fight.

This wasn’t just because of Pluto’s authority.

In the first place, hunters are mostly guys who gathered for money,

Their basic knowledge was to act to save their lives, not to fight for their lives.

Actually, it was for that reason that I was able to come this far easily, so in a way, this is a natural result.

And this fact, once again, made me forget the feeling of so-called human compassion in my heart.

While killing and selling innocent demons,

Beings who cherish their own lives, who are ugliest.

The fact that I had put so much effort into saving those guys just made it clear how foolish I was in the past.

‘No one can survive. Thoroughly. I’ll crush them all.’

Lesser undead slowly moving forward while letting out grotesque cries.

And, Plutus leads them and gradually expands the realm of death.

At that time, the torches that were lighting up the inside of the fort went out one by one.

A space of death where darkness descends.

There, the walking corpses arose and moved forward in search of their next prey.
