The Betrayed Devil No Longer Hides His Power

6 – Don’t let anyone live 2

A hill where you can see Kirks’s stronghold.

A dancer climbs up there and looks down at the fortress.

A deep smile began to form on Hella’s lips.

‘I never thought the day would come when I would look at this place with this feeling… ‘

Just a few hours ago, to her, that place was a hell she never wanted to come back to.

What she and her compatriots went through there…

And, I still shudder when I think of the hardships I went through in the process of escaping from that place.

But at this moment,

In Hella’s mind looking down at the image of hell, emotions of anticipation and excitement were wriggling.

The light is turned off and the fort slowly begins to sink into darkness.

Watching the light fade one by one in this situation where not a single wind blows,

Hella was able to appreciate the fact that her own master was taking her step-by-step.

At some point, she felt the thick and sweet black magic of her owner at the tip of her nose.

Feeling it gradually engulfing the inside of the fortress and gradually growing,

Hella finally knew that her time to step out was coming.

“Then… Shall we move slowly?”

With those words, Hella pulled out two daggers.

It wasn’t as good as the weapon I used to use, but now that time is running out, this was the best.

But even so, there were no complaints at all.

She originally belonged to her hunters who pursued her,

This was what her lord hand-cared for.

The fact that she could fight with her ‘gift’ in her hands was something she could count as a joy in itself.

‘In addition, the demon king restored the tendons on her wrist… He directly me… “

The hand of the master who kindly held her wrist.

Warm and soft…

Recalling that ecstatic moment,

Hella involuntarily began to slightly raise the corners of her mouth.

‘This is enough… As for me… That much is too much.’

With that thought, Hella carefully caressed her wrist, where the master’s hand had touched.

In order to recall at least a little the warmth of her that remains here

Then.

“I… excuse me… “

“Huh?”

A voice from behind her breaking sweet memories,

There was Jiren lying on the floor with her hands tied.

“This… I made it this far. This… Now you’re setting me free… Is it?”

“Ah… Sorry, come to think of it, I forgot.”

Jiren’s words filled with earnestness.

In response, Hella showed a bright smile on her lips, hiding a bit of displeasure.

An extremely beautiful smile illuminated by the moonlight.

Looking at the picture,

Jiren felt a little relieved without realizing it.

‘All… thank god. Buy… I can live.’

No matter how much she is said to be a dancer, she didn’t seem like she would kill people with that expression.

Jiren, who has come this far, has practically sold out her comrades.

However, this fact was irrelevant to him now.

The important thing is that his life was saved anyway.

That was all.

‘From now on, I will stop hunting and start doing business with the money I saved… But thanks to stealing the demon tribe kids, I managed to earn a lot… ‘

Then.

– Pak!!!!

“!! Oh oh oh oh oh!!!”

Hella’s dagger that pierces the top of Jiren’s head.

At this, Jiren’s face instantly showed feelings of surprise and doubt…

As she drove her dagger deeper into his forehead,

Hella said with her heartfelt smile.

“You did as you promised. Now let her live free from her filthy, filthy body.

A last greeting that even makes you feel benevolent.

After that, Hela retrieved her sword from her immobilized corpse.

Hella ended some of her personal vendettas because of her master’s consideration.

Then her gaze shifted to the target she commanded,

She headed towards the main gate of the citadel, which was becoming more and more noisy.

‘Not a single person is sent alive… For the sake of my fellow countrymen who are suffering. And… For the Demon King.’

“Ummm… what… What did you fall asleep for?”

Captain Crassus woke up in a state of lingering fatigue.

Recognizing that he was dozing off in his office chair, he slowly got up.

“Damn it… I must be old now, too, frowning because I barely fell asleep in a chair.”

With such a small grunt, Crassus, feeling thirsty, lifted the jug beside him.

“Chit… is it all gone? Anyway, the secretaries don’t fill in these things straight… “

An empty kettle.

Complaining softly at this, Crassus shouted annoyedly.

“Hey there! Is there anyone out there?”

Crassus tries to call someone to fill the kettle.

However, despite his cries, no one entered the room.

“What? Why no one Hey vigil! Aren’t I calling you!”

It was quite late, but in front of Crassus’s door, he was always required to stand watch.

As the captain in charge of this place, it was probably natural for escort.

Nevertheless, the fact that there was no response began to give Crassus a strange sense of anxiety.

“… My… damn. You’re annoying people. Do these dare to sleep during the vigil? In the meantime, he told me to keep only what I should protect, and he said come or come… I just… “

Crassus goes outside while expressing his inner anxiety through complaints.

“These guys! I can’t get up straight… ?”

However,

The guards who were expected to be dozing in front of the door were nowhere to be seen.

No,

It wasn’t just the guards that were strange.

Even considering that it was underground, the surroundings were extremely quiet, as if a rat had died.

A situation where not only vigil but also people patrolling can’t be seen at all.

“What… why no one… The poor?”

Only then did I realize that something seemed to be wrong.

Crassus drew his sword from his belt and began to slowly move forward, holding a torch in one hand.

“V.. Answer me! I… really no one… Is there no

The voice began to feel more anxious than irritated and angry.

He was the leader of the hunters and possessed considerable fighting power, but

This ominous situation made even him feel a visceral fear.

Then.

– A clap. Clap. Clap.

“!”

The sound of small footsteps suddenly heard in Crassus’ ears.

Hearing that sound, something heavy and ominous, Crassus began to put strength into his hand holding the weapon.

“Who… who… what?”

Crassus asks a question in a trembling voice.

Right after that,

His eyes began to see the figure of a person walking out of the darkness this way.

A soldier wearing a guard uniform with his head down.

Seeing this, Crassus felt a deep sense of relief for an instant.

‘What… what… It was patrol. hehehe, I’m too nervous for no reason… ‘

The atmosphere was uncomfortable, but the fact that there are guards around means that there is no abnormality around here.

While thinking that I should definitely take care of the person in charge of the night watch that made me so anxious.

Crassus approached the patrolling guard and talked to him.

“Ummm… Sleep there, look at me for a moment.”

As if in response to Crassus’ words, the guards paused for a moment.

He seemed to be momentarily staggering a bit as if something was uncomfortable,

It stood in front of Crassus with his head bowed.

“Hey, do you know who is on watch today? No matter how much I waited, he didn’t come, so… “

Crassus speaks in the most dignified voice while hiding his trembling emotions.

Then.

“Big… Wow… “

“?”

Instead of answering, the guard began to let out a small but strange voice.

It wasn’t just a rumbling sound, it was a sound like a forced squeeze from rotten vocal chords.

I’ve never heard of it since I was born…

A small sound that seems to evoke a visceral sense of fear.

“What… what… hey? Hey why… Why is that? Whatever happened…”

Crassus felt a strong sense of incongruity and hurriedly let out a sound.

Then…

“Cheer… “

“!!”

A guard slowly raising his head.

There was no normal face inside the helmet.

Empty eye sockets,

Rotten skin.

It has already reached a state where it cannot be called a living being,

With a staggering motion, he tried to swing the spear he was holding.

“This… This guy!”

From noble mtl dot com

Crassus swiftly wields his weapon according to the movements imprinted on his body, even in the midst of bewilderment.

At that blow, the arm of the guard who had just lifted the spear fell to the floor.

“Damn it! Kill it!”

-Pak!!!

The guy whose head was blown away by the sword that was swung once again.

After that, the guard’s body collapsed like a puppet whose thread had been cut.

“Ouch… omg… sh*t… this… What the hell is this? Why are the undead in a place like this… !!”

Crassus gasped for breath due to intense tension rather than physical exhaustion.

At that moment,

Things started popping up in his mind that he didn’t want to think about.

This is in front of his office located in the center of the fortress.

Of course, they were under iron protection,

It was not a place where insignificant monsters could invade.

Nevertheless, the undead popped up here.

What it means is…

“Seo… no way… “

Crassus rushed out of the room while thinking that far.

After leaving the basement where his office was located, he went up to the central hall located on the ground floor.

And,

What Crassus encountered there…

“! This… This… “

“Kuuu”

“Kwaaa… “

Countless undead in front of you.

And,

Something in a black robe holding a sickle floating between them.

As soon as Crassus appeared, they began to turn their eyes toward where he was.

While emitting a life so clear that anyone can tell…
