The Betrayed Devil No Longer Hides His Power

14 – Deceit, Deceit, Mindless 3

A cave with a dingy feel to it.

At its center, he sat arrogantly.

Red eyes and silver hair.

And with a cold smile on his lips.

He looked at the people standing in front of him and said in a shrill voice.

“Really? You mean humans?”

“Yes. The details will be known when Lord Heim returns. First of all, I heard that there are not that many.”

“Looking at it from the outside, it seemed like it was flashing here and there. You probably have a lot of them.”

“Huh, that went well. I was still in a dirty mood, but it wouldn’t be bad to loosen up now.”

With those words, he slowly rises from his seat.

Then.

“Dryeong-nim! Nice… It’s a big deal!”

“Huh?”

A sudden loud voice.

In response, the man who had just risen from his seat immediately turned his gaze to that direction.

“It’s a big deal, what is it?”

“That… That is… This is the information Heim just sent me… Among the group of humans in question… “

“… What?”

As soon as the subordinate’s words were finished, the man’s face began to harden.

Then he made an expression of deep anger.

I picked up the sword that was lying next to me.

“Move immediately. I will tear all of those filthy human bastards to death!”

A group of customs officers take a break near a stream.

Among them were Pompey and Crassus, who got off the chariot while being watched by the knights.

No matter how much they are in the position of being dragged away as criminals, they are given the minimum treatment as they are high-ranking officials of the empire.

However, at this moment, Pompey couldn’t afford to care about such trivial things.

‘Oops… I hope that… ‘

Unexpected situation in front of your eyes.

It is…

Even in this situation, the head of the tax office who is not taking off his mask,

There was a figure of a dancer right next to him wearing handcuffs.

A dancer sitting silently with a heavy expression on her face.

Even so, somehow, her face seemed to be slightly reddened.

Seeing this, Pompey couldn’t help but frown at the automatic thought.

‘What… Maybe that customs officer… Did he touch the dancer in the meantime?’

A dancer who is said to have great power, but has become a body deprived of freedom while being handcuffed.

As much as she has a fair amount of off-white at first glance, it was only natural for her man to harbor lust for her appearance.

Especially, it was all the more so if she was in her position to trample her ‘legally’ like she is now.

‘Damn it… It’s a valuable product that I’ve always had in my hands, but it loses its value when it ends up like that.’

Although there is magic that restores the physical condition, female slaves who have experienced this once could not avoid the price reduction inevitably.

In particular, as the customer who decided to purchase the dancer was sensitive to it, Pompey felt a burning sensation as he tasted the feeling that his profits were decreasing in real time at the sight of the dancer standing next to the customs officer.

‘I need to finish the job as soon as possible… I have to somehow tell the master about this as soon as possible… ‘

Thinking that he should deliver the news to the master as soon as possible, Pompey felt a deep sense of impatience.

Then…

-“I… excuse me… Pompeii?”

“… “

Suddenly…

A familiar yet hoarse voice.

At this, Pompey automatically frowned at him and turned his gaze toward him.

“… What is Crassus? I’ll tell you just in case, but there’s no way for you to come this far and survive.”

-“That… I know that. It’s not just one or two things I’ve done in the meantime, so it’s worth it… “

His voice seemed to crack more than usual, perhaps because of the intense tension.

However, his attitude of accepting death unexpectedly made Pompey feel some doubts.

“I don’t think I need to say anything more if you know… Do you intend to leave a will for me?”

– “Will… Ira… hahahaha. I guess you could see something similar.”

“?”

His words seemed to make me feel something gloomy for a moment.

However, right after that, Crassus continued speaking in a serious voice.

– “I don’t have time, so I’ll tell you briefly. After a while, the soldiers over there will leave for a while. I’ve bribed enough, so maybe he won’t come back for a while, and in the meantime, I’ll make a fuss on the other side, so sneak away.”

“?!”

Crassus’s words suggesting that he come and run away.

In response, Pompey felt a deep doubt and asked him.

“What kind of bullsh*t are you talking about all of a sudden? After all, they are the ones who follow the will of the emperor. Rather than making a fuss for nothing, cooperate calmly first… “

– “There is no next.”

“What?”

-“As soon as they arrive in the Empire, we will be sent to the gallows without trial. Their true purpose is to use this as an opportunity to get rid of Kirks completely.”

“Ah… No, not even that much… !”

– “Because I was thinking of doing that, I captured you as soon as I saw you. Still don’t know Pushing things this far is the Empire… It means that the Emperor has already decided to cut out our Kirks.”

“!! Kuh… “

Clearly, Crassus’ words left a question mark.

However, considering the current extreme situation, this was a story with plenty of possibilities.

No matter how much corruption data is collected, there must be a reason for doing things this way.

Looking at Pompeii shaking like that, Crassus said,

– “Anyway, I’m already done. hahahaha I definitely ate too much during that time. But even I have never forgotten the grace I received from Master and Kirks. And now, the only person who can save it is you, Pompey.”

A voice imbued with seriousness that is not typical of him.

Although he was corrupted by corruption, he was also a person who swore allegiance for the Master.

Crassus had never committed a serious betrayal, even though he had actually done a lot of harm.

In his sincere words,

After pondering, Pompey spoke in a small voice.

“… To the master… I will tell you the story well.”

– “Whoops… Please. Then.”

After those words, Crassus moved to the designated place.

Seeing the firm determination, Pompey bowed his head slightly with a little solemnity…

Leaving Pompeii behind,

Crassus thought with sincere loyalty.

-‘Everything is my lord. For the Demon King.’

*

“Ummm… “

A few minutes after Crassus left,

As he said, Pompey calmly waited for an opportunity as he watched the soldiers start to leave their seats one by one.

No matter how bribed you are, you must not be careless.

Since you don’t know when and how it will change, you had to escape as soon as you seized the opportunity.

‘Once we get out of here, we head straight to the ecliptic. You have to move more closely than the emperor in order to devise a definite countermeasure… ‘

Pompey, feeling such a deep impatience, decides to escape with the escort knights.

Then.

“Huh?”

The next moment, an explosion suddenly occurred in front of her eyes.

Immediately after that, huge flames began to soar in the forest surrounding this area.

“What… What is this?”

“Crassus? Ah… No, this is not a story at all… !”

At that moment, the scene began to appear in Pompeii’s eyes.

At this, the faces of her and her escort knights hardened as they were.

“Po… Pompey-sama, is that?”

Those who began to appear in the burning forest.

The moment he saw them with horns on their heads, Pompey was able to recognize them at once.

“Don’t… Asmodians?”

Demons appeared at unexpected timing.

Looking like thieves, they mercilessly cut down the soldiers around them and began encircling the area in an instant.

“Kill them all! Wipe out all the filthy humans!”

Soldiers belonging to the customs office are noticeably unable to fight, and the demons’ offensive pushes them one-sidedly.

However, Pompey and her men did not have time to watch it any longer.

“Kuk!”

“There are humans here too!”

“Die, you filthy bastards!”

Demons attacking them with an angry expression.

In this situation without even a good weapon, they had no choice but to be helpless.

‘Damn it… Is it up to here… As long as it’s like this…!’

*

Tremendous heat rushing in from all directions.

At the center was a demon with flames all over his body.

She has brown skin and long silver hair.

A demonic woman with red horns sprouting from her forehead.

Master of the Valley of Flame.

Fenrir Fimblevern.

Dressed in red, reminiscent of a dress, she wielded a sword that blazed with flames and cut down any human in her sight.

“Die! You filthy human bastards!”

Demons who engage in slaughter while displaying smiles stained with anger.

However, at this moment, her gaze, which seemed to run rampant at first glance, was properly fixed on one person.

Fenrir’s best friend,

A little while ago, he fell for the cunning tricks of humans and was caught.

The person who made her run all the way here without even hearing more of her story of her subordinates who went out on her reconnaissance…

“Hella! Wait a moment! I will rescue you soon!”

“… “

Hella, a dancer who is forcibly stuck next to a dirty human being in handcuffs.

There was still quite a distance between her, but in contrast to her, her fair skin made her stand out…

At this moment, he was looking this way with a rotten expression that anyone could tell.

“Penril… this color… “
