The Devil Who Grants Wishes

83 – Asmodian (5)

“Hee, hee!!”

The young man’s startled voice resounds.

Because, he thought, this was not the future that would come to him.

I was just joking around and trying to harass the alien demons, but what the hell is the situation unfolding in front of my eyes?

“What, what is this—- Kwaaa!!”

limbs are torn

It is not a mere analogy.

Just holding both legs and arms with both hands and spreading them left and right, like a wooden doll made of wood, like a straw doll made of straw, the limbs of a living person are torn apart so emptyly and so easily.

The torn limbs and the body that has become like a crow’s nest flutter like octopus legs that have just been sashimi, and then completely stop moving.

“Uh, uh… uh…?”

And the person who created such a scene is equally at a loss for words.

Looking at the blue blood of the demons on her hands, Irene blinked her eyes, not knowing what the current situation was or what the hell she had just done.

No, strictly speaking, he knows what happened, but he doesn’t know if he really was [himself] in the dictionary definition.

The rapidly growing nails are sharper than any weapon, and the demonic shells covering the body are harder than any armor.

Irene wonders if this is really her body, but the doubt disappears after a while.

“Hey hey!!”

The other demons who saw such a scene were angry and attacked Irene.

No matter how much demons live and die in battle and have a personality that wants to die in battle more than anyone else, it’s not like they die so terribly at all.

Even though he knows very well that he can die like that, and despite being terrified just now, the arch demons act like the bloody devil’s aggression and want to avenge Irine’s dead brother.

“Hey, wait a minute—heek?!”

“aaa!!”

And the devil’s aggression that flows through blood is not only possessed by the bullying demons.

No, Katara’s indigenous demons, who have demons as their distant ancestors, cannot be compared to Irene, whose father is a demon.

In order to fight, to protect life, and to defeat the enemy, Irine’s body, which moves according to its instincts, slaughter the demons who are trying to attack it, regardless of the owner’s will.

……….

“Uh, uh…”

After a while, when there is not a single enemy left to oppose her, Irine’s body, which had been mutated, returns to its original state.

The ugly shells and fingernails disappeared, returning to the immaculate flesh and slender hands.

But really not everything is back to normal.

The horrendous surroundings, as if they had been ground in a meat grinder, made Irene realize that what had just happened was not just a dream.

‘That was… what was it?’

Asking again what you already know is not, strictly speaking, a question.

Irene’s questioning herself is not for the purpose of clearing her curiosity, but forcing herself to say something because she just wants to deny it.

And of course, Irine’s infidelity disappears after a while.

It is impossible for Irene, who is fundamentally a mere girl, to still deny such a cruel landscape in front of her eyes.

“No… Now… No…”

Irene is sobbing.

Because he didn’t want a body like this.

Because I just wanted a warm hand.

The spirit of Irene, who had lived with a will so strong that she entered Katara on her own and evaded the fight by running away, is finally beginning to shake.

Now, all that was left of Irine was a monster body that justly convinced others that they despised her, and nothing else was left.

‘Someone… I wish there was someone…’

It’s just a small wish suitable for the age group. It is the case that anyone vaguely prays in their mind at least once.

However, for Irene now, that wish cannot be seen as small.

For Irine, who is a first-generation demon but has a normal mindset due to the weak instinct of a demon, what she needs more than anything right now is not the power that demons usually want, but just love.

“uh…?”

In the original story, since there is no demon going to Katara, the land of demons, Irene’s wish would have been just a fleeting wish, and Irene would eventually start conquering Katara, craving affection.

But not now.

Because Irene’s wish reached the devil.

When her body was suddenly covered in a thick shadow, Irene raised her head in bewilderment and met the golden eyes looking down at her.

**********

‘…That’s right.’

He… Why is he here?

No, he is originally here. that’s me

“…”

I just ran quickly without checking properly because someone was making a wish around me, and a very unexpected person appeared.

here it is

The final boss and raid boss of Katara’s story.

She looks like a slender girl, but without me, in less than two years, this slender girl will unify Katara and be reborn as a boss.

As for the appearance… it’s not that different from what I saw in the game.

Although I don’t feel any ego at all.

“Who are you…?”

…no.

There is a spirit.

Even though he looks at me like this, he speaks calmly without any sign of fear. It seems like he is a talented person who has united the demons with such strong personalities.

“I am the one who was led by your wish.”

“wish…?”

“Yes, no matter how insignificant your wish is, no matter how insignificant it is, you certainly made a wish.”

Irene, who at first just tilted her head and didn’t understand what I was saying, seemed to realize what had happened after my repeated answers.

When he opens his eyes and looks a bit surprised, he seems to have remembered the wish he had just wished in passing.

“…sorry.”

“Aren’t you going to make a wish?”

“Yes. No matter how ruined life is, I don’t think it should be ruined any more.”

…what?

This is the first time this has happened…?

There has never been a case where I didn’t make a wish after calling me.

In the first place, the fact that you made a wish that reached the devil even once is a measure of how desperate the person who made the wish is.

In other words, it means that a person who desperately wants his wish to come true is holding back for reasons such as superhuman patience with the opportunity to make his wish come true right in front of his eyes.

Does this… make sense?

“Didn’t you call me to fix that broken life? Come on, tell me.”

“I didn’t call. You, like a pervert, peered into other people’s hearts and judged them.”

Irene’s words are sincere. Without an inch of lie, without an inch of exaggeration, he was just telling me what he felt.

And that’s not all.

Irene is even looking at me with a battle stance, probably out of concern that I might change into an aggressive attitude.

No… It’s true, but no matter how much I do, it hurts a little…?

“…that’s out of habit.”

“Sorry, I grew up without parents.”

So don’t say that… ha… that’s it.

If you leave it alone anyway, will it go on with the story on its own?

It’s a story that has already been ruined, but it will be easier for Irene to have the power of a demon first… Hmm.

‘Players fight against Irine, who is resisting the demon’s spirit dwelling in her body, and eventually stop the demon’s spirit from dwelling in Irine. And the deity of the demon tribe that has lost its owner becomes a crystal and becomes the key to bring the beings of the deity down to the lower world or go to the place where the beings of the deity are located.’

For example, the reason why the players were able to defeat Belial, the Demon God who was simply stuck in the Demon Realm after being beaten in the Underworld in the original work, is thanks to the crystal of the demon god.

The players who made the passage using the crystal as a material invaded the Pandemonium and suffered all kinds of adversity there, eventually defeating the demon Belial.

Belial tells the truth about Serafia while she is being destroyed, and Serafia tries to kill the players by using the entire Pandemonium as a graveyard, but fails.

‘Umm… well, if I tell you the truth, it’s okay, and Belial is a bit on the outside, but it seems like he’ll listen to me properly, so there’s no need to kill him…’

The crystal of the Demon Divinity is a bit different.

Without it, I can’t defeat Serapia either.

It’s not something that even I can do to make the entire body of a crystal into a crystal. When Shinwi is fully established in the world, it takes a tremendous amount of energy to tear it down and process it.

Opportunities to discover new faces that have not been fully established in the world are not very common, so you must aim for this opportunity.

But there is one big problem with that opportunity.

“…So, uh… You don’t have to do anything to comfort me. Now, I won’t ask for anything like a wish, so please go.”

If that happens, Irene, whose spirit is forcibly removed from her body, will surely die.

Its existence and all traces of its existence are surely annihilated by the system of the world, to the extent that it cannot be revived even with the time retrograde gimmick.

At first, I was just full of thoughts of stealing the demon’s prestige from Irene, just as I felt when playing the game… Ugh, seeing Irene alive and breathing like this in person, it’s a bit like that. It’s a pain in the ass.
