The Betrayed Devil No Longer Hides His Power

7 – Don’t let anyone live 3

The undead are slowly approaching this way.

Seeing them, Crassus began to backtrack in fear..

“Ugh… ugh… “

I couldn’t win.

There was no way that was possible.

The number of enemies was countless,

The undead with scythes floating in the air right now were making people feel fear just by their existence.

Even in his prime when he was playing active duty, he was unable to cope with his power.

Even more so, there was no answer at all in this situation, which had been away from combat for more than ten years.

‘Week… perishing… is it Die?… W… Here i… Is Crassus so vain?…’

The hopeless reality that I came to recognize clearly.

As I felt my heart being broken by this,

Crassus dropped his weapon and fell to the ground.

Then.

“How big?…”

“Big uh… “

“?!”

The next moment, the undead suddenly stopped moving.

Then, following the gesture of the undead holding the scythe, they began to retreat.

Moves like trained soldiers paving the way.

Seeing that scene, Crassus was seized with doubts at the same time.

I don’t know, but he began to have the faintest hope that he wouldn’t be killed immediately on this spot.

Then, one person began to appear in his eyes.

A being wearing a familiar high-level hunter’s outfit, with a bandage wrapped around his face.

As much as he covered his entire body, it was impossible to tell whether the opponent was undead or not.

But only one thing.

Flowing from his body,

A sign of power that seems to be on a different level.

Through this, Crassus could see that he was fundamentally different from the undead here.

“Are you the captain of this place?”

Unlike the twisted undead, his voice is extremely clear.

Of course, even this could have been part of the magic,

At least through this, Crassus was able to recognize the fact that the other person had a clear intelligence.

‘That means, if you do well here, you might find a way to live… ‘

At least it would be better than being mercilessly eaten by the undead who couldn’t communicate.

Caught in such a feeling of hope and even more tension,

Crassus knelt on the floor and started shouting, trying to keep his spirits as tight as possible.

“B… yes that… That’s right! I am the captain of this place!”

There was talk that it was better to hide one’s true identity as much as possible, but the opponent was the captain of the undead who had no mercy.

In this situation, Crassus decided that the only way to survive was to appeal to one’s effectiveness as much as possible rather than resorting to clumsy moves.

“Ho… If you have any questions, we’ll tell you all! Ah… no, ah… I will swear allegiance to the great one in the future! So please… Please spare my life!”

Whether the being in front of you is an undead,

Something else,

In his hands, the fortress was destroyed and his men were slaughtered.

To Crassus now, that fact had nothing to do with it.

The important thing is to survive somehow.

For that alone, Crassus began begging for his life with all his might.

“This… No matter what I look like, I’m a pretty capable human being! I will dedicate my connections, property and everything I have! I’m sure this will be of great help, so please… Please give me the opportunity to serve the Great One!”

“…Hmm.”

It showed signs of distress at Crassus’ words.

In response, Crassus lowered his head and began to lighten his eyes slightly.

In this situation, it would be a way to appeal more to oneself,

He knows that being silent at times like this is also a good thing.

If you interrupt the other person’s time to worry, the table that is already set might be overturned.

In that heart-shrinking silence, seconds that felt like years passed by.

After a while, it opened its mouth in a quiet voice.

“Okay. Then I will give you a chance.”

“Go… thank you! Ah… I will do my best to be loyal from now on!”

Extending Crassus lowered his head and shouted with such vigor as if he would remove his liver.

Of course, this was just an appearance to overcome this crisis.

In fact, he had no intention of giving allegiance to the monster in front of him.

As soon as the crisis is over, all I can think about is escaping as quickly as possible and returning to my home country.

‘As soon as I return home, I tell the master about you and it’s over. No matter how great of a monster you are, as long as the hero party moves… ‘

If you have the connections of his owner, the Master, you can move the hero and his party.

If they were the ones who defeated even the Demon King, they would be able to kill a guy like this at once.

Crassus is trying to look as happy as possible while thinking that he will repay the humiliation of the present in the future.

But…

“Huh?”

The next moment, he put his hand on Crassus’s head.

In this momentarily incomprehensible situation, a ray of bewilderment began to bloom in his heart.

“I… There… The owner… Sir? This is alternative… “

“Didn’t I tell you? I am giving you a chance.”

“B… yes?”

The black magic that blooms with those words.

Crassus began to feel chills run down his spine at the hot yet cold energy.

“It’s not a priest, but it’s going to have less fighting power… Let me prove my abilities.”

“That… what is that… !!! aaa!!!!”

At that moment, black magic power suddenly began to wrap around his body.

Crassus finally realized that something was seriously wrong with the tremendous pain he felt at the same time…

It was too late to turn the situation around.

The body rots, and the mind begins to warp.

The hidden resentment turned into sincere loyalty,

The colossal greed he possessed was transformed into a fanatical wish to die only for his master.

After such a short period of change,

Crassus once again bowed his head to the floor,

He spoke sincerely to his master in front of him.

– “Call me down! You are my eternal monarch.”

*

The exit out of the citadel.

There was a big commotion going on there.

“You bastards! I mean move quickly!”

“Do you really want to die? Come on, follow me!”

“Don’t wake up soon! Those who procrastinate are summarily executed!”

Human hunters brandishing weapons and shouting urgently.

Around them, there was a group of demons who were forcibly walking forward with their hands tied.

Most of them were young children, and a few young female demons were also mixed in.

All of them had large and small wounds all over their bodies,

Because he had not eaten well, his complexion was also very bad.

In this situation, their movement speed was extremely slow as they were forced to move by the fear of death.

Then…

“Evil!”

A female demon who tripped and fell to the floor.

The hunters, frustrated by the slow pace of the march, immediately approached it.

“What are you doing? Come on, get up!”

“Sin… sorry. That… soon… it will happen… Ugh!”

At the urging of the hunters, the female demon hurriedly tried to stand up.

She still can’t get up easily as if her ankle was badly injured.

At this, the hunter raised his sword with an annoyed expression.

And.

-Pak!

“Cheer… uh… “

“f*ck… You’re bothering people.”

A female demon whose chest was cut as it was by a sword wielded by a hunter.

Her lying on the floor, her bleeding, her dying, her dying, leaving her,

The hunter raised his bloody sword and shouted as he looked at the other demons who were caught in fear.

“All procrastinators become like this! If you don’t want to die at our hands here, move hard!”

A hunter who lays a bluff in an atmosphere that has cooled down for a moment.

As a result, the demons, seized with fear, began to speed up a little more than before.

“This… hey. Are you going to throw it away like that? If I cut it any further here, I really wouldn’t be able to break even…”

“That would be better. The undead followed right in front of me! It’s better than dying like this!”

A hunter who speaks sternly to his concerned comrades.

Having sorted out the atmosphere, he hurriedly tried to get out of here, leading the procession again.

But…

“Ahhh! Mom!!…”

The sound of a child crying in my ears.

A young demon, who seemed to be her child, was clinging to a female demon who was bleeding and dying in a loss of consciousness and was crying.

“Chit… “

A hunter frowning and holding the sword he was holding straight to the place where the young demons are.

As if he was about to take out the trash, he even felt annoyance as he applied force to the hand holding the sword.

“! Ah… Ah… “

A young demon who is terrified at the sight of a hunter approaching him.

The hunter swung his sword at the child who was still in tears.

Just like killing bugs crawling on the roadside.

Just like cleaning up broken things.

A blow that contains only a tasteless intent to kill without even the slightest hint of hesitation.

Watching it fall over his head,

The young Demon could not overcome his fear and closed his eyes tightly.

-Chang!!!!

“!!”

“… ?”

A sudden sharp metal sound.

At the sound of iron clashing with iron,

The young Demon, who was gripped by fear, carefully began to open his eyes.

“… Uh?”

The next scene he can see.

It is…

Blocked the sword that was about to fall toward him with a dagger.

It was the appearance of a beautiful female demon.
