The Saint Was the Devil’s Henchman

201 episodes

The red light that rose from the Nouvelle city center soon spread out in all directions.

“What is this?”

“Ugh! Suddenly my heart… … !”

Allied knights and soldiers who suppressed the rebels at the wall.

“What is this… Big!”

Even the rebel soldiers who relentlessly aimed at the gates and walls.

As soon as the red light hit them, they grabbed their chests and collapsed.

It’s like a doll with a broken thread.

A blue energy emanated from the bodies of those who had fallen.

It was vitality.

The light from the cursed bloody flesh planet was plundering the vitality of humans within range.

The vital forces gathered like beads flew towards the Demon King.

Shh! Shhh!

Gilbert’s body, who was once killed by Ethan, was supported by the demon king’s magic and magical powers.

However, thanks to absorbing the looted life force, Gilbert’s body was gradually recovering.

Ethan narrowed his brow.

‘No, that’s not recovery.’

The body of ‘Gilbert’, who had descended from the Demon King, began to wriggle.

‘The mutation that stopped because of the lack of jet-black eyes is being forced into progress!’

Eventually, the demon king made a satisfied face like a beast with a full stomach.

“Yeah, this is it. It’s been a long time since I’ve tasted a deep vitality.”

“ね.”

The Demon King laughed at Ethan writhing in pain.

“Did you ever think you would be safe even if you took what was mine? wait a moment. I will soon be held responsible for misusing mine.”

It was an arrogant attitude, as if he had already won.

“under.”

Ethan burst out laughing because it was funny.

He lifted his bowed head and shouted.

“Who said I was giving this to you?!”

Blood was dripping from Ethan’s left eye, which had turned black.

Ethan’s words were significant.

The demon king’s face was distorted at that.

‘Hey, you have a hidden trick!’

The moment I realized it too late, something strange happened.

Huge trunks of trees soared toward the sky in various places in the forests around the city of Nouvel.

To be precise, he began to climb on the pillar of light of the dark magic circle that was soaring high in the sky.

Green leaves grew from the tree trunks that wrapped around the cursed bloody flesh.

Numerous leaves covered the dark magic circle in an instant and hid it from the sky.

“What have you done?!”

The Demon King opened his eyes and glared at Edan.

Something was going wrong.

Ethan covered his left eye and clasped it back.

“Did you tell me? I have no intention of returning this color to you.”

As soon as those words were finished, small grains of light flowed from the leaves that covered the dark magic circle.

They were various spirits.

The spirits protruding into the air began to dwell on the earth one by one.

Then something amazing happened.

As the spirits inhabited the earth, the red light of the dark magic circle gradually faded.

The tree trunks were destroying the dark magic circle, and the spirits were suppressing the dark magic.

“Do something useless… … !”

The Demon King grinded his teeth.

However, he did not completely lose his relaxed attitude.

He was once a being who tried to take over the world completely.

So, even if his plan was hampered by Ethan’s trick, he did not lose his reason.

“Do you think you can stop me with just that?”

The Demon King approached Edan with a savage look.

“The life force taken so far is sufficient to punish the traitor. Let me show you.”

The Demon King raised his right hand and concentrated his power there.

It was intended to use dark magic.

And surprisingly, the power concentrated in the hand of the Demon King was divine magic.

Until now, it was the power that only Ethan had in this world.

* * *

‘I haven’t finished mutation completely, but can I use new magic?’

Ethan’s eyes narrowed.

‘Did you absorb the divine power while taking the life force from the paladins and priests in the new city?’

Gilbert, who had descended from the Demon King, originally had only magical powers.

For this reason, the Demon King has only used magic power.

However, thanks to the absorption of divine power, it created divine magic at once.

‘Really, you’re the Demon King.’

But Ethan was not discouraged by it.

Since he had created and trained new magic within his body, he clearly understood the pros and cons.

New magic wasn’t something that could be easily created.

Also, even if they created new magic, it was not something that could be accumulated in a large amount in the body at once.

‘First of all, I’ll have to make sure I don’t build up new magic.’

Ethan, who made the decision, blew a new model.

The Demon King continued to attack Edan with dark magic amplified with divine magic.

A black sphere flew towards Ethan.

ssuk.

However, the black sphere could not even pass Ethan’s collar and was thrown off the wall.

Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Quang!

The black sphere that hit the wall exploded and made a huge roar.

If it had hit a human body directly, it would have been shattered and not even a corpse would be left behind.

It was because the magic was amplified with divine magic.

But it was the same with Ethan.

Ethan was avoiding the flying black sphere by squeezing out the divine magic within his body.

Ethan, who had blown the new model, disappeared in an instant.

‘Where?!’

The Demon King quickly followed Ethan’s movements.

Shh!

However, it was behind the demon king’s back that Ethan appeared.

Because the Demon King had not yet recognized Edan, there was no magic barrier built there.

‘Also.’

Ethan took advantage of the gap and attacked the demon king’s head.

puck!

“ね! Where dare you!”

The Demon King hastily built a wall and distanced himself from Ethan.

However, Ethan had already read the deep inside of the Demon King.

The reason why the Demon King did not use a barrier that covered his entire body was not because of his confidence backed by his delicate control and agility.

‘Your body and divine magic aren’t perfect yet. That’s why I’m taking such a defense to keep my strength intact.’

If it had been in its best state right now, it would have spread a barrier that covered the entire body earlier.

‘Since the mutation suddenly stopped, there must have been a great deal of damage to the body.’

Is that all?

Even in the dire situation of battle, the Demon King absorbed divine power to generate new magical power, and was using it for dark magic.

The whole process had to be burdened in a state where it was still only a human body.

‘Keep pushing like this!’

As Edan’s offensive continued, the Demon King began to be pushed back.

Is it because of excessive use of divine magic?

The black blood vessels protruding from the demon king’s body trembled like a seizure.

The Demon King clenched his teeth as if he had decided something.

That was then.

When Ethan kicked the demon king, the demon king floated in the air.

Ethan’s eyes immediately saw the demon king’s gap.

It was the place where the demon king’s left chest and heart were located.

‘Did you intentionally expose the gaps?’

Even though he had such doubts, Ethan without hesitation poked his hand into the Demon King’s chest.

It would have been enough to kill him before he performed any strange tricks anyway.

Whoops!

Ethan’s hand held the Demon King’s heart.

“Gagging!”

The Demon King spit out dark red blood.

“Kukkuk… … .”

The Demon King bowed his head and began to laugh as if he had lost his mind.

Ethan tried to burst his heart before the Demon King used his foolish tricks.

But the moment Ethan gave strength to his hand.

“… … ?!”

The hole in the demon king’s chest regenerated in an instant, and he held onto Edan’s arm as if it were a separate creature and did not let go.

The Demon King stretched out his hand toward Ethan’s face.

“Did I not tell you? I will get mine back!”

What the hand was aiming for was Ethan’s left eye, to be exact, the jet-black eye.

It felt like it was going to pull out Ethan’s eyes at any moment.

While receiving the death from the front, Ethan raised the corners of his mouth.

“It’s stupid. You are not the only one who can do that.”

Ethan began to run out of divine magic within his body.

Then, through his arms, he sent out the new magical energy that caused him to run away to the Demon King.

“Wow!”

The demon king vomited blood.

The internal organs as well as the body were being torn to shreds.

It was a dangerous thing that was beyond common sense.

In this place, the demon king and Ethan, the two lives could have been annihilated.

The Demon King looked at Edan with a surprised face.

“Could it be, you guy?!”

Ethan’s face was strangely calm.

Unlike the Demon King, Ethan did not care about death.

“Do you think I will be afraid to die?”

His desire for revenge was beyond imagination.

It was like that a hundred years ago.

Even if he had to die, Ethan hoped to complete his revenge.

“… A tenacious one!”

The Demon King could not understand Ethan.

Unlike 100 years ago, why do you want revenge while enjoying all the honors as a saint candidate?

However, as much as Ethan’s obsession with revenge, the Demon King’s obsession with life was great.

“Do you think I will be thrown into death again?!”

The demon king stretched out his trembling hand again towards Ethan’s eyes.

The jet-black eyes seemed to reach the end of the demon king’s hand at any moment.

“ね… … !”

Red veins stood in Edan’s eyes, who were trying to stop the Demon King.

‘Somehow, more and more new magic has to run faster!’

That way, he would be able to annihilate together with the Demon King before his jet-black eyes were stolen.

That was then.

“Get those dirty hands away from my disciple right now!”

A beautiful yet resolute voice was heard.

There was Stella wearing the clothes of a saint.

* * *

“stellar?”

Ethan didn’t even know his name.

Stella, who is here now, was a perfect saint full of dignity.

It was as if Eileen, who was praised as a saint 100 years ago, appeared here.

Ethan wasn’t the only one who showed an outrageous reaction.

“Why are four years here?!”

The Demon King could not help but be astonished.

At first, Gilbert, the head of the clan, had never seen Stella.

Therefore, even if the Demon King had descended and absorbed Gilbert’s knowledge as it was, there was no way he would have known Stella.

The Demon King had mistaken Stella for Saint Eileen.

While the Demon King stopped at the unexpected appearance, Stella finished the chanting and activated divine magic.

“Sword of Judgment!”

Clouds of mysterious colors gathered and a sword of light poured down from there.

The sword of light did not inflict any damage on Edan and tightly surrounded the demon king.

Eventually, the Demon King was trapped in a cage made of countless swords of light.

Stella slowly approached the Demon King and opened her mouth.

“When I was young, my teacher said this. That I look very much like Saint Eileen. Demon Lord, seeing that you recognize me, I don’t think that’s wrong.”

“… How do you think?”

It was completely unexpected for Ethan.

Stella smiled at Ethan’s question.

“In the past, I ran away from the world because I was afraid of taking on heavy responsibilities. But now I am determined. Ethan, I’m going out into the world for you.”

The Demon King looked at Ethan and Stella alternately.

Then he burst out laughing as if it was ridiculous.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! Do you know who this guy you call a disciple is and say something like that? This guy… … !”

Stella lightly ignored the demon king’s words.

It would have been nothing more than a ploy to shake his faith anyway.

chuck.

Instead, he placed his hand on Ethan’s back and raised his divine power.

Then something amazing happened.

The divine power began to rush into Edan like a tidal wave.

“… … !”

Ethan’s eyes widened.

“Now is your chance.”

Ethan’s eyes widened at Stella’s words.

Ethan extracted magical energy from the ebony eyes that had overreacted with the divine power sent by Stella, and created divine magic on the spot.

And he pushed that divine magic power into the demon king’s body.

“Wow! dare! How dare you!”

The demon king burst out in anger and reached out to Ethan.

But.

Cheeky, Chichik!

My body was burned by the sword of light that surrounded the demon king like a prison.

Now victory was leaning towards Ethan.

The divine magic that Ethan was pushing was tearing apart the demon king’s body.

‘Dangerous! Like this… … !’

It was resentful, but the Demon King understood that he was in danger.

‘Somehow, we must promise the next!’

It was impossible to put out the fire of resurrection in vain like this.

The Demon King stretched out his hand toward the sky.

Then, he mobilized all the new magical powers running wild in his body and concentrated it with his fingertips.

“All things on earth that create morale… … .”

Stella didn’t know it, but Ethan did.

‘Suddenly place an order?!’

It was the secret magic brought out by the Demon King, who had only used dark magic with a silent spear so far.

Even Ethan, who prides himself on mastering dark magic, could not figure out the true nature of magic.

Kugugugugung!

The earth vibrated.

Ethan understood.

‘This child!’

Even if he died here, it was clear that he was going to inflict enormous damage on the Allied Forces and get rid of Ethan and Stella for the future.

A cold sweat ran down his back.

* * *

During that very brief period of time, Ethan pondered.

If this continued, the Allied Forces would certainly suffer catastrophic damage.

‘Damn it! There is no way to stop that dark magic by my own power.’

Edan had already put all of his energy into making the Demon King’s body a mess.

It was a desperate situation.

‘What way… … .’

That was then.

A thought entered Ethan’s head, like a ray of light he had seen in the dark.

I felt a warm hand on my back.

Ethan turned his head to look at Stella.

Stella’s and Ethan’s eyes met.

“… … ?!”

Stella’s eyes fluttered.

It was because he had seen Ethan’s jet-black eyes.

Ethan knew well why Stella was surprised.

‘I’m sure I’ll be questioned later.’

But at least now wasn’t the time.

Ethan squeezed out the rest of his divine magic and delivered it to my Stella.

“You save it.”

It’s been like that ever since.

Killing was familiar to Ethan.

However, there could be no one in this world more familiar with the task of saving people than a saint.

Stella’s eyes widened at the new magic delivered along with Ethan’s words.

As if to understand, Stella gently closed her eyes.

Suddenly, a dazzling light was emitted from her body.

It was a miraculous moment.
