The Devil Who Grants Wishes

“Keek-!!”

It has petals and stems… but should I call it a flower?

Teeth, eyes, and all sorts of tumors are on it, so it’s awful. They even eat people.

[Yes, there must be flowers. The house is too gloomy.]

‘…It must have been a flower.’

When I was remodeling the old house I got from Lucia’s mother, I bought a large flower that I had never seen before at the market to help Lucia’s emotional development.

It’s as big as a sunflower, but it has a pretty shape and smells so I remember Lucia being very interested in it.

The flowerpot is… the same.

I think that flower is probably the same flower.

“Kick-!?”

“…?”

Just as I was desperately trying to understand what the situation was right now, the flower that was chewing on people noticed that I was there and trembled.

It’s nonsense to say that flowers are noticing, when you write it out in words, but what can you do about it in reality?

pass-

‘What the f*ck.’

The flower now spit out the half-swallowed person, pretending not to, and then restores her monster-like appearance.

The teeth, eyes, and tumors that had been sticking out have completely disappeared as if they had ever been, and the flowers that exuded the smell of saliva exuded their original fragrant smell again.

…well, it’s useless because of the blood on the flowers and the corpse that has turned into minced meat next to it.

Waves-

‘…’

Once you see the state of the flowers, they seem to want to stay by my side… Uh… I’ll keep that one here.

If you leave it outside, something terrible will happen, but if you move to a new house, you don’t know what will happen to Lucia, right?

Up until now, I’ve been quiet whenever Lucia waters her, but now that I know that it’s not an ordinary flower, I can’t keep her by her side anymore.

“Ahhh…”

As I was thinking about disposing of the flowers, I suddenly heard a terrified middle-aged man next to me.

Oh, I forgot about this guy.

He came back to find a priest to check Lucia’s condition, but he was distracted for a while by the flower that was acting strangely.

‘How do you handle it?’

This is the first time an outsider has entered the house.

Even judging from his appearance, it seems that he was a priest who came here by chance after looking around the surrounding slums. My companion was eaten by that flower.

Uh… um… It’d be nice to find the priest right away… but I’ll have to apologize first, right?

If I ask you to take a look at Lucia’s condition, your companion has died horribly, will you listen to it?

“I sincerely apologize. Your servant is dead.”

Normally, I really hated this strange habit, but now I’m okay with it. You know how to dress up formally.

**********

apologize? apple?

Is this really the attitude of the apologizing?

He has a fishy smile on his face, and his head is bowed and rolled.

Even his tone of voice is too serious and polite, so he’s rather sarcastic about it.

Why should the devil be courteous to his prey?

Above all else, after killing them so horribly and feeding them as food for monsters… they apologize…?!

It is enough to see people as fools…!

‘…the evil thing.’

They don’t even try to kill me.

I’m just standing there and watching what I’m going to do.

yes it is Because the devil doesn’t like to kill victims.

The devil just looks at me like he’s watching a dog fight, wondering what I’m going to do, beg for my life, run away, etc.

[Young priest, what would you do if you found a victim of a demon?]

[Yeah… As the devil plays with the victim’s mind, shouldn’t we have to calm ourselves down first?]

[It is perfectly correct to assume that the devil has been successfully and completely eliminated. However, the story is different when the demon is still alive and the victim is found.]

―You must kill the victim so that the devil does not suffer any more. Only then can the growth of the devil be stopped.

It’s a childhood memory, but I still can’t forget it.

The devil feeds on the victim’s negative emotions. From feelings about yourself like pain, despair, and guilt to feelings for others like jealousy, resentment, hatred, and anger, it’s literally all negative emotions.

That’s why the devil doesn’t kill the victim hastily.

Playing with the victim like a toy, wear out and wear out emotions, suck emotions to the limit, and then soon wear out and reach a point where they can no longer exist as a human being, and only then do they feed off the victim’s final emotions by giving them the greatest pain, death. .

But that demon… didn’t do that, and just killed the servant.

why…?

‘Is it possible that this demon’s status is high enough to not covet such emotions?’

After all, rich people don’t want to pick up coins that fall on the street… If so is this demon…

…ね.

Clearly, this demon is different from other demons I have seen so far.

From the trembling magic that flows through the air to every little movement, the demon ball is just a spirit that makes it comparable to that of a low-level imp.

I have to inform the temple somehow that such a great demon has appeared… Unfortunately, there is no way to escape.

This house is already one huge dungeon and creature.

Even if you turn your back and run towards the door right now, the space itself will expand and you will not be able to reach the eternal gate.

Yeah, I’d rather kill myself and be freed from the devil-

“First of all, I will correct the mistake.”

“-?!”

When the devil stretches out his arm, countless magic circles form around the arm as if it were wearing a ring.

At first, I thought they were just trying to attack me.

But… no. That magic circle is not for attack.

Since he has devoted his entire life to the priesthood, he is very illiterate in the field of magic, but still, there is no mistaken for a magic that is so structured.

‘Crossing the Holy attribute magic circle and the Dark attribute magic circle… What is this…’

The devil uses holy attribute magic?

I can’t quite say it.

There is a possibility that it is a demon born of mixed blood with a demon, but a demon that naturally occurs in the demon world based on evil emotions, whose root itself is darkness, cannot use holy attribute magic. by any means.

But… what is that? How the hell do you do holy magic?

Whool

“Unbelievable…”

is reviving

The bones, crushed, crushed, torn, cut, and compressed are revived.

Cheeky profit

“Kie-aa!”

The flesh that the flower ate was forced to pop out and stick to the meat that was the servant, and the blood that had been splattered on the floor also floated in the air without leaving a single drop and stuck to the meat like flesh.

In general, if the devil used magic to resurrect the corpse, of course, he would have used necromancy, and it is normal for the target to be resurrected in the form of an undead such as a ghoul, zombie, skeleton, or ghost.

But… no.

The magic that the devil uses is not low-level magic like necromancy.

“Uh, uh…? What…?”

“…”

time regression.

The devil rewinded time and erased the event of the servant’s death, so that the servant did not experience a resurrection either.

As much as he had been alive from the beginning, he had never been resurrected.

Obviously, the event of death happened, but reality was manipulated to make it impossible.

“Huh, heh heh… heh heh heh…”

I was guessing completely wrong.

The reason this demon just killed the servant is because… he can bring him back to life at any time.

You cannot escape from reality through death.

There is only a future tormented by the devil forever.

**********

Hey, what kind of time travel is real?

The inspiration suddenly came to my mind, so I tried it once, and although it was very tiring, it was perfectly successful. It’s as natural as breathing.

It would have been nice if I knew how to use this when Lucia’s mother was also.

Hmm… Looking at this, it’s likely that Faust uses a time magic gimmick during raids.

‘…Wow, that’s vicious.’

When designing a raid boss, the gimmick of recovering the boss’s health should be avoided as much as possible.

I don’t know if I’d rather beat each other hard until they die, because recovering the boss’s stamina has no sense of accomplishment or urgency, it just makes the user feel worse.

However, as Faust uses time magic very freely, it is certain that there will be a time magic pattern in Noah’s raid, and there is a probability that the pattern contains stamina recovery that can clearly show that it is time-related magic with the game system. very high

Of course, you can make a lot of time-related gimmicks such as teleporting or slowing users to the location they were in a few seconds ago as well as recovering health, but… will be in

“Huh, heh heh… heh heh heh…”

Anyway, it’s pretty good at this point.

Didn’t you resurrect a person who died unfairly thanks to the use of time-reversal magic?

What’s with the priest’s laughter? It’s very strange, but there’s definitely a little bit of joy in it, um.

Who in the world wouldn’t be happy when his companion is alive?

“Priest, follow me. You have work to do.”

The priest who just looked at me with only disgust and fear on his face until recently is no longer doing that. It’s just a subtle expression mixed with all kinds of emotions.

My first impression was very bad, but I think I managed to fix it as best as I could.
