Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 289
What Crumelia felt was intense anger.
He was furious with the understanding that all his plans had been completely twisted due to that one unexplained phenomenon. I was angry at the uncertain situation where I couldn’t even tell if the being in front of me was really human or not. He was angry at the fact that if he continued to do so, he would not be able to use his hands properly, and the neck of the bowl would be blown away, and at the same time, his consciousness would be forcibly ejected into a full blown battle.
In the face of all that fury, Crumelia rolled her eyes, to put it vulgarly.
[Dare!!]
It was as if the fierce anger I felt for the first time in hundreds of years fried my brain. I couldn’t understand how a mere toy man suddenly kicked and trampled the board he had carefully built up one by one with his mud feet. Crumelia, who had been stealing from others all her life and ruining other people’s plans, could not admit that she was put in such a situation.
Crumelia, whose rationality was blown away and moved by emotion, took action, ignoring all the risks she had to take in order to calm the anger boiling inside.
[Fuck you!!]
Eldmia’s sword aimed at Crumelia’s head, but couldn’t cut it. To be precise, it ended up cutting off the pile of flesh that suddenly began to swell and twist.
Eldmia, noticing the change, stepped back in an instant and frowned at the sight of Krumelia’s suddenly expanding body swallowing up the surroundings as if exploding and swelling up in an instant.
“It sucks, very.”
However, unlike him, who felt very disgusting and repulsive, the five demons, who were in a situation where they had to find their own bodies as soon as they suddenly appeared, were more serious than ever. They didn’t know why their necks suddenly separated, but they knew very clearly what Krumelia was up to.
Crumelia was doing the same thing as putting herself into the dog hole used by demons to sneak into the human world. They even arbitrarily broke contracts and promises that should never be broken, and tried to use themselves as substitutes for insufficient sacrifices.
The problem was that the way they manifested themselves in the human world this time was by no means common.
Rather than the conventional method of incarnating by forming a body through sacrifices, the idea of incarnating for a short time avoiding the surveillance of the world and then gathering ‘direct’ sacrifices and quickly making a body for one’s own incarnation was a truly classic and novel attempt. Crumelia confidently and in unparalleled detail explained a new and ingenious way to trick the gods’ eyes. Because of that, the demons were able to strike a deal in admiration for her plan, even though one very big problem endured.
If you die before you collect the sacrifices, you will perish. It’s not like you left your heart before the end. How could such a thing happen against mere humans? I thought that there is no problem that is no different from a joke that is not a joke that if you are alive, you will eventually die in some form.
until just now.
[Chrunmelia! This is a different promise…!]
[Contract! Remember the contract, addict!]
[This madness…!]
As a result, they met death in an unexpected form of being absorbed by Crumelia. Watching the ironic sight of the tribe of demons who demanded sacrifices from humans falling into sacrifices in despair and bewilderment, Eldmia involuntarily laughed.
In fact, it might not be a situation where you can afford to laugh. It was possible to guess that demons and monsters would be buried and absorbed in that disgusting mass of flesh, but the result was completely unpredictable. Just the continuation of that expansion could have been a threat, so Eldmia didn’t let go of the tension even while watching the huge mass that stopped its activities like a lie after swallowing everything that was summoned.
Fortunately, the swelling did not start again. As soon as it swallowed exactly what it had summoned, the grotesque mass of flesh that had ceased to function briefly flinched and then began to shrink rapidly.
It was obvious, but it didn’t seem like a very good sign.
“Fuck, usually this is the start of Phase 2.”
Eldmia strongly sympathized with Siegfried’s muttering behind her, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t jump right in. Eldmia was the type of person who considered not attacking an opponent when they transformed into a stupid mistake made by third-rate villains, but the problem was the amount of magical power contained in that grotesque flesh.
If I had to think of the most similar level of magic, it would be the sphere beyond the gate of the abandoned dungeon where I first received the request with Gaendal’s party? If it exploded with his own attack, it might cause an explosion similar to the one he experienced then. Even at that time, it bounced like a ball only with the aftermath of the storm, but if you get caught up in such an explosion here, it was clear that the waterway would collapse and of course everyone would die.
While unwillingly neglecting the unidentified movement, the unpleasant flesh that was wriggling the size of a person began to crumble.
Then, there stood a woman who seemed to be made of red clay with her eyes closed. Eldmia’s head tilted sideways at the strange appearance of both her clothes and people as if they were made of mud, but Sheryl and Tenneas, who were watching from behind, felt an overwhelming sense of intimidation and shuddered.
The clay woman’s mouth opened as she forcibly resisted the sensation of something incomparably more terrible than when the demons had just appeared, dragging their bodies to the ground.
[I am Krumelia, the Grand Duke of Manmajeon, the one who savors knowledge.]
Even though she was just talking, Cheryl should feel her strength loosen up in her knees.
The only consolation for her was that it wasn’t just her problem. Tennea clasped her hands together and trembled while reciting the prayers of the Imperial Spiritual Assembly, and even Siegfried, who was always calm or relaxed, was holding his greatsword with a serious expression on his face, poised to jump out at any time.
through knowledge. That it never appeared in this world in its normal form.
That was enough to guess. That beings always have weaknesses, and that they are by no means unkillable.
Nevertheless, the unknown presence and intimidation seemed to shout to the whole world that it was on a different level from the present self.
“The great… the devil…”
Even Siegfried was sweating from the tension.
The demons who helped and killed the Holy Light Cross weren’t easy either. Just as they prepared a lot for battle, the demons and devil worshipers also made various preparations in the process of eating away at the church. It was an honest impression that it was a fight.
Because of that experience, I did not feel fear when I saw the possessed demon. I wasn’t afraid even when I saw the five demons coming out of the gate. When the heads of monsters and demons suddenly fell off, I was so surprised that my eyeballs popped out, but I didn’t worry when I saw that everything disappeared into the twisted flesh with the sudden change.
Whatever it was, I thought it was worth dealing with. This was possible because he believed in his own judgment based on experience, not groundless confidence. It took less than 10 seconds for that judgment to collapse.
As soon as the flesh, which was no different from a cocoon, formed a demon, its presence changed.
After possessing a different world, Siegfried had snorted whenever he heard the word intimidating and presence, but this time he had no choice but to admit that it existed. It was a sense of intimidation that made me realize that there is only one life in this world, not a game.
At the same time, the fact that the reason why such an existence was able to materialize here might have been the numerous deaths that had occurred in the Headquarters of the Holy Cross Society weighed heavily on Siegfried’s shoulders. Even the Paladins, as well as himself, a stranger in the world, could be the reason for the new method that he had not expected, but from his point of view, as a warrior, he felt no different from the fact that he had brought the threat to this place.
If that demon rushes to the ground, there will be a veritable carnage. It is clear that people stronger than themselves may be mobilized and eventually defeat it, but the loss of life cannot be ignored.
A single word made many thoughts, and after a moment that seemed to split the moment into an eternity, the great devil Krumelia widened her closed eyes and aimed at Eldmia with anger. And he continued to speak, chewing on each word.
[Staking my name and soul, I will definitely tear you to death.]
Only then did the three of them notice that Eldmia was still facing Crumelia without moving. Distance was created to avoid expansion, but does distance really mean anything to an existence like that? Even though she had thought so far, Cheryl didn’t run to Eldmia’s side not because he told her to stay still or because she was afraid.
Just as the sword was drawn.
It was because he had been facing Crumelia without any change from before until now.
I don’t know if it was because she thought she had absolute superiority or if there was some other reason, but Krumelia looked down at Eldmia with an arrogant attitude and waited for a response. Eldmia, who was staring at Crumelia crookedly with her head tilted sideways, suddenly unsheathed her scabbard and stood up as if she were about to insert her sword again.
Eldmia said at the time when even Crumelia was looking at her with a gaze that she couldn’t understand what kind of bizarre behavior it was.
“try.”
As soon as he put the sword into the scabbard, Crumelia’s head, which had been intact, was lodged in my body as if someone had hit it with a hammer.
