Frondia instantly took the form of mana and moved along the stem. No, was it a root?
‘Indeed, this is how humans cannot do it.’
Frondia was amazed as he moved. His body became a form of mana. But it didn’t disperse. Maybe it was possible because he was a demon.
Shhh!
Frontier’s feet touched the ground in an instant.
He didn’t know it, but he was moving at incredible speeds in Yggdrasil.
And then, as soon as we arrived, we went outside Yggdrasil.
As if Yggdrasil had spat it out.
“Hmm, I don’t think it even took 5 minutes.”
Frontier looked around.
“···Is this the Demon World?·”
I thought that if I went to the Demon World, there would be a creepy atmosphere, but it wasn’t that different from what I thought.
The place where he was standing was a wasteland with nothing of note, but it was still a place that could have been somewhere in the world where he lived.
However, the color was slightly different. I would say the saturation was a bit higher.
‘I feel like I’m in a slightly uniquely edited photo.’
Looking around, I couldn’t see any demons. As expected by Belphegor, everyone seemed to have fled in fear.
‘Well, that’s a good thing. Anyway, I’m pressed for time.’
I don’t want to be held back any longer.
Swish─
Then Selena came out of the shadows.
“You’re already here.”
Selena came out and looked around. Her eyes were full of curiosity. She too seemed to be curious about what the Demon World was like.
“···It’s not that different·”
But soon the look of disappointment turned into
Frondi asked:
“Selena, are you okay?”
“It’s okay. It was much shorter than 5 minutes.”
“That’s true, but the mana here might not suit your body···”
Frondia, who had experience accepting mana into his body, knows well the fear of mana from another world.
But Selena looked around, twitching her nose a few times, and then shrugged as if nothing was wrong.
“I feel okay. I don’t feel any breathing difficulties or any signs of poison.”
“Really?”
When Frondia checked again,
“Frontier, you’re so overprotective.”
Belphegor, who followed behind, said as he came out of Yggdrasil:
“If there was such a problem, I would have told you first.”
“How can I trust you?”
“Then who should I trust? I should trust my own people.”
This kid has been talking about his own kind for a while now.
Belphegor took a deep breath.
“Hmm, it’s the smell of my hometown that I haven’t smelled in a long time.”
“How is it?”
“Guryo·”
“I agree”
Hehehe, Belphegor is smiling. Strangely enough, he doesn’t seem to like the demon world that much either.
Frondi asked:
“Where do we start moving again? How many times do I have to repeat this?”
“From here, you can go straight to Olympus. From there, one more move and you’ll reach Tartarus.”
“That is, twice.”
“yes·”
Belphegor answered and placed his hand again on Yggdrasil from which he had emerged.
“Thank goodness there’s no one. I can’t see the devil’s nose. Well, that was expected. Now let’s get back on this and go to Tartarus.”
There is only one Yggdrasil stem in each world. So, in the Demon Realm, there is only this Yggdrasil.
Frondi tilted his head at him.
“But if I take this line, what if I go back to Niflheim?”
Frondier came from Niflheim to the Demon World. Isn’t it quite possible that the opposite could also happen?
Belphegor shook his head at him.
“Yggdrasil is not like that. Simply put, Yggdrasil is definitely a one-way street.”
“One-way street?”
“Yes. This guy is not a convenient object like magic engineering, but a living tree. We move through the world according to the tree’s growth flow. Going against that is like blood flowing backwards for humans.”
Frontier’s impression was distorted.
“···It’s horrible·”
“Right? So you have to go in the right direction. And originally, that was good from the gods’ perspective.”
“Was it good?”
“One-way means that if you go to the next world, you have to go around Yggdrasil to return to the world you came from. That’s quite a burden. Some worlds are seething with fever, while others are guarding the stem itself. So you can’t just go back and forth between worlds. Whether you’re a god or a demon. That has the effect of fixing the inhabitants within the world.”
“It seems that it is effective to manage the residents from the perspective of God.”
“That’s right. Especially in Helheim, where ghosts run rampant, there are quite a few who try to escape using Yggdrasil. In that case, as a manager, we know where they’re going in advance, so we can capture them.”
Frondi nodded at Belphegor’s words.
Those who cannot use Yggdrasil are those on the surface. Anyone who is already in this world can use it. Then it needs to be managed.
Belphegor said:
“Although Satan extended the stems to various worlds through his agreement with the gods, the principle is the same. The range of one circle has only expanded.”
“Okay, so I don’t need to set the direction.”
Frondi understood and lightly hit his fist with his palm.
at that time·
“···hmm·”
Belphegor, Frondier, and Selena turned toward the same place at the same time.
There was a stranger flying in the sky.
A stern face. Wearing a pair of glasses that match his face, he looks down at the group of Frontiers with a stiff face.
Frondi asked:
“What is that guy?”
“He is my successor.”
“successor···?”
“Yes, that guy is Astaroth.”
At those words, Frondi realizes, “Ah.”
I also heard from Arald that after Belphegor stepped down from the seat of sloth, Astaroth took his place.
They say it doesn’t reach Belphegor.
“hmm·”
Belphegor looked at Astaroth for a moment, then smiled and said to Frondier:
“Go first”
“what?”
“This is telling me to leave it to you and go forward.”
What’s that odd suggestion?
It’s something I’ve never heard before, but I feel like I’ve heard it a hundred times.
“You’re in a hurry.”
At Belphegor’s words, Frondi paused for a moment and nodded.
That’s right. I couldn’t be held back any longer here, no, anywhere.
“Okay, let’s go Selena.”
“yes·”
Selena goes into the shadows without saying a word.
Belphegor said to him:
“Can’t you at least show some regret? Woman”
Selena’s head popped out of the shadows.
“Die”
“ha ha ha·”
So Frondia entered Yggdrasil again.
Astaroth watched it quietly.
Belphegor’s head rolled.
‘Hmm. After all, stopping Frondia isn’t the goal. Well, if I did, I’d probably get killed by Eclexis. And even if that weren’t the case, I don’t think he’d be able to beat Frondia.’
Stopping Frondia here will only make him angry. Astaroth knows that well.
As Frondier completely disappeared, Astaroth looked at Belphegor and let out a voice of anger.
“Belphegor···!”
“Hey, hello, lazy.”
Belphegor widened his eyes and looked to the side.
Then he said,
“Why are you alone?”
“What does that mean?”
“If you want to kill me, you can all come. The Seven Deadly Sins probably have nothing to do right now.”
Even if Belphegor expands his detection area to the maximum, there are no other seven deadly sins.
Well, the hordes of hidden demons are starting to feel tiresome.
Astaroth said to him in a displeased tone:
“···I alone am enough for the likes of you·”
“Well, you would say that.”
Belphegor answered blandly:
Only the eyes have sunk.
‘Are you scared of Frondia? The most appropriate obstacle for Frondia to leave her power to me and leave first is Astaroth. Anyway, she succeeded in keeping me and Frondia apart.’
Frondier knows about Astaroth.
That he is Belphegor’s successor, and that he is not as good as him.
In other words, from Frondi’s perspective, it is better to leave it to Belphegor alone without having to use force.
“···Huhhu·”
“What’s so funny?”
“No, really. Those Seven Deadly Sins guys haven’t changed at all.”
Does this guy Astaroth know?
He was chosen for this position because he is weak.
Well, whatever it is
“You really get along with me”
It is indeed the seven deadly sins.
It’s been like this before, but they’re really fun guys.
“It’s only now that I have that kind of leisure time.”
Astaroth raised one hand.
The demons that had been hiding there revealed themselves. Belphegor had already detected them.
A huge army surrounded Belphegor.
‘Sitting in the seat of the Seven Deadly Sins, I became stronger. It’s different from before.’
The Astaroth that Belphegor knew did not have this many troops.
Astaroth is a reclusive person by nature, so he doesn’t have many subordinates.
‘Perhaps you have absorbed my forces while sitting in the seat of sloth.’
“good!”
Astaroth shouts, and the demons aim their weapons and attack accordingly.
‘If only the numbers were greater, it would be within my power,’
Belphegor activated Eclexis at the same time as he thought,
“···!”
Shhh!
Kwaaaaang!
I realized something strange and left the place.
A series of pouring demon attacks. Even if you avoid the first one, there is still another. The number of demons is endless.
Flames are embedded in Belphegor’s hands.
Devil’s business
hell touch
A magic used when dealing with Frondia. It is a magic that deflects the enemy’s attack and burns the target at the same time. This attack disabled one of Frondia’s arms.
And I lost but
Hwaruk─!
Once you touch this flame and it catches fire, it doesn’t go out easily.
WHEEK!
However, the demons continued to attack Belphegor even after the fire was lit.
No shouting or screaming·
Belphegor, feeling something strange, looked into the eyes of one of the demons.
There is no focus. More than just out of focus, both eyes are acting randomly.
‘···this·’
If you look at Mana in more detail, you can see that there is a thread made of Mana hanging from his head.
He has made me a doll that has lost its will and is controlling me as I wish.
‘If it goes like this, it’s better than fire’
Belphegor clenched his fist.
The regime that is carrying the aura and shouting
Kwaaaaang!
The demons on the path were all punctured and rolled around. Even if you don’t feel pain, if you are structurally damaged, you can’t get up.
“How is it?”
Astaroth, who was watching it, said:
“Dolls don’t feel lazy. Your eclecticism has become useless.”
“That’s right…”
Belphegor admitted it obediently.
It’s like trying to put a child to sleep who is already asleep. It can’t be helped.
“And did you notice?”
Astaroth laughed bitterly.
“All the demons here are the forces of sloth, that is, those who were once your subordinates.”
Belphegor tilted his head slightly at those words.
Now that I think about it, your face looks familiar.
“How does it feel to be attacked by those who were once your subordinates? And how does it feel to hurt them?”
Astaroth asks mockingly.
Belphegor scratched his head.
“Are you mistaken?”
“···What do you mean?”
“You’re a devil, so you’ve always dealt with humans. That might work for humans, though.”
Belphegor raised his finger.
Devil’s business
The Sin of Laziness
Eternal Step
Dduk dduk!
Then, the demons that had fallen down after being attacked by Belphegor earlier began to move.
“Ah, ah, ugh, ugh, ugh!”
They raised their bodies, making strange noises.
Belphegor’s specialty is summoning corpses.
Belphegor, who not only drilled holes in his subordinate’s body, but also raised the corpse.
He smiled with his usual face.
“Are you still curious about how I feel?”
