Chapter 481: You Should Be Punished (2)
‘Run away, my ass. I don’t even have enough strength to crawl in with my knees.’
Contrary to me, who was smiling, Jung Hayan’s face was wrinkled. She was clearly aware that the current situation was more dangerous than any other situation. It was hard for me to imagine how much anxiety she felt because even my skin was pounding.
It seemed that my safety was the most important part of the world didn’t change, even though it was in a mess. I was very grateful for a moment, but I knew it was a trap better than anyone else.
‘You must not get soft, Kiyoung…‘
I pledged to solidify my fortitude at that time.
I wasn’t hoping that Jung Hayan would change dramatically, but I couldn’t be fixing that kind of a big accident over and over again. I was able to ignore it with a smile if it was a small-scaled, but no matter how I thought about it, our current predicament had already exceeded that level.
As a result, it could be said that she did something helpful to me, but the difference between whether it went through my jurisdiction or not was huge.
I had no choice but to think that the time had come for me to teach her a lesson again before she caused a bigger accident. I wasn’t sure if she knew my thoughts, but Jung Hayan kept looking around her with an anxious expression.
“I-it’s too late.”
A murmuring voice fell into my ear.
“What do you mean…?”
“Don’t get separated…”
“What are you talking about now?”
“I-I-I’ll explain later. So. Stay close. Stay close.”
Her eyes were naturally filled with unknown anxiety.
It was then that ugly demons emerged through the darkness that couldn’t be seen before.
Perhaps she realized that it wouldn’t be helpful to explain the situation anymore. Jung Hayan instead continued to chant spells and mutter.
Finally, when unimaginable hostility overturned my whole body, a doll emerged among the ugly demons.
The high-ranking demons split left and right like the Red Sea.
Unlike what I expected, what appeared differently was a woman that was so beautiful that my jaw dropped. Her appearance was different from normal females, but she was certainly beautiful.
-Hmm…
She slowly looked at both sides, and then I looked at her, stroking the head of a giant Fel Hound.
No other action was taken, but her existence itself emitted pressure.
She had pure white skin and purple eyes. Instead of clothes covering her body, it was a wriggling tentacle. Even her hair was wriggling like snakes.
Her face itself deserved to be called the supreme beauty, but the grotesque tentacles aroused an instinctive sense of rejection.
‘Whoa, that’s disgusting.’
Of course, her status as an enemy aroused even more rejection than her appearance.
‘Fuck… Are you a Belial official?’
[Checking the status window of the semi-mythic grade named monster Limur.]
[Name: Limur]
[Title: 27th Legion’s General, Ranked 1,692 Demon Lord, Belial’s Loyal Apostle]
[Age: 666]
[Disposition: Loyal Egoist]
[Category: Devil]
[Stats]
[A limit has been enforced. Hence, the target’s stats cannot be checked. The stats have slightly decreased due to the penalty of being summoned in this world.]
I couldn’t check things like stats and characteristics, but I felt like I didn’t even need to see those.
She was a named monster that could be classified as semi-mythic grade. That alone could measure how much power she had.
-Nice to meet you. I’m ‘Limur,’ a universal leader of the 27th Legion.
“…”
-I thought I smelled an ugly, disgustingly holy smell somewhere… Today is a lucky day. Who would’ve thought that I would see the human chosen by Benignore? Even in my dreams, I couldn’t imagine that I would face such a pleasant situation immediately after my advent into this world.
The way she was looking and staring at me was quite spectacular. I was momentarily startled, but I was forced to nod after confirming her mysterious yet friendly glance.
‘Whew… her acting skills are no joke.’
It deserved to be put on the same level as Belial’s acting skills.
For some reason, she looked amused. Of course, what was more surprising than that was the fact that a demon of that degree came down to our world. Perhaps that…
‘It must not have been summoned by Jung Hayan and Han Sora.’
It was very likely that Belial, who came to the present world, had brought her in.
Considering that it wasn’t easy for demons to be summoned to that world, it wouldn’t have been easy to call in that kind of demon, even for Belial.
I had to think that it was against the system itself.
‘Since there was a crack in the system… can I consider it as possible?’
I assumed that the system had a small hole, and they were constantly flowing through it.
‘We almost got in big trouble.’
It’s safe to think that Belial, who could be classified as a moderate demon, was managing the hole.
If the summoned being was a hardliner… No, that assumption itself was meaningless in the first place. No human could ever match up with the Demon Overlord.
While lost in my own thoughts, Jung Hayan continued to glare at the devil named Limur.
Just as I had conversations with Belial inside my mind, it was obvious that Jung Hayan and Limur were also having similar conversations.
Since Jung Hayan made that situation, she might have thought there was room for negotiation.
She couldn’t proceed with the contract, but she could be said to be their summoner.
‘You did grow, Hayan.’
I wanted to compliment her since she learned not to waste her skills willy-nilly. However, I knew the negotiations wouldn’t go all that well.
Considering that the devil’s purpose was to kidnap me in the first place, the conversation itself was already meaningless.
From Limur’s point of view, she was probably dealing with her a bit.
As if my prediction was correct, Jung Hayan’s face was becoming sourer as time passed. She was gasping her breath as if agitated, and her eyes became increasingly bloodshot.
I didn’t know what she heard, but she slowly started to look like she was losing her temper.
-I might have agreed with you if it was usual, but I want that guy now. I’m sorry, lady wizard. There is no room for negotiation other than that.
“Hayan? You…”
After all, negotiations broke down. Even Limur spat it out.
Naturally, I made an expression that seemed to ask for an explanation of what was happening.
Jung Hayan’s face was once again filled with anxiety. She seemed to be looking for excuses for the current situation, but she couldn’t afford to think that way.
I felt the demon, who had disappeared from my sight, holding onto my shoulder and Jung Hayan’s.
“Huh…”
‘She’s pretty fast.’
I felt goosebumps cover my body in an instant.
Surprised, Jung Hayan cast a spell, but she was soon buried in the corner with a popping sound.
I couldn’t check if there was damage or not, but she must’ve broken a few bones from the sound of impact.
“Be soft.”
-I won’t kill her. I’m also thinking of returning you safely. Without that woman in the first place, you have no means of bringing us here… Why would I do such a stupid thing? You don’t have to worry too much, as this is something that Belial asked me to do.
“Thank you, beautiful Limur.”
-You have a sweet mouth, as I heard. I really want to thank you. It’s been a long time since I came to this world… It’s not easy to find a disgusting human like you these days.
“Thank… you for the compliment.”
After the short conversation shared through hushed voices, I looked forward again.
What Jung Hayan, who raised her body while coughing, was witnessing must be Limur grabbing my shoulder. I didn’t even need to explain that sparks splattered from her eyes instantly.
-Go back, dumb human. Since I owe you, I won’t take your life. Still, I would like to say thank you. It’s been a long time since I have found a human like this…
‘Ohh… You were talking about that then.’
I understood why Jung Hayan was angry.
“That… remove your hand from him. Cough…”
-Didn’t I tell you? I became interested… Personally, I like to corrupt people like her… I think you weren’t lucky.
“R-Remove your hand…”
-I told you to go back the way you came from if you don’t want to die. That is the most amount of consideration I can give.
“I said… remove your hand.”
-I must have told you I don’t want to.
‘Why are you so provocative?’
It seemed to me that I wanted her to create a more dramatic moment, but I had to be a little anxious from my point of view.
Even the tentacles on her began to wrap around my body. Limur’s face looked like she was having fun. Her unidentified tentacles wrapped around me. It even reached the inside of my clothes and wandered everywhere.
‘F… Fuck, what is this? Stop. Hey, why are you doing this?’
-He’s a cuter guy than I thought.
‘Hey… stop. Huh… Huh… ugh.’
Since I was even bent over, there was no need for a different expression.
Of course, in Jung Hayan’s case, it looked like there was more happening. It was hard to honestly imagine what she felt while witnessing her man get taken away from her eyes.
“I’m 29 years old… my hobby is…’
There was a possibility that she was feeling the same unidentified situation.
“H-Hayan. Run… run away.”
“Take. That. Hand. Away.”
-Don’t want to…
“B-b-b… before I kill you… take that hand… away… quiiick… lyy… take it awaaay!”
She even shed tears for how unfair it was, but I, who was roughly anticipating what would begin after those tears, was bound to be anxious.
“Stop now… you can do it in moderation, Limur.”
-Didn’t you want to fix her bad habit?
“But I’ll do it gradually and then send her back.”
‘I’m anxious.’
-Hmm… I thought it would be a little pleasant, but I guess you want to get out of this situation quickly?
“I feel good in a different sense, but… honestly, I’m feeling nervous about this.”
‘It’s pretty dangerous.’
Limur wasn’t in danger. However, Jung Hayan looked unusual.
Not only was she constantly talking to herself, but the way she muttered her words further amplified my anxiety.
The conditions of intermediate and extreme anger had already passed long ago. I could tell that much by looking into her eyes and without having to look closely at the behavior.
It was the first time since the cursed Shrine and the Laios crisis that I had seen a state similar to her maximum anger. I was worried that it would evolve in a new direction that I had never seen before.
‘Fuck…’
My anxious foresight had never been wrong.
It was indescribably terrifying to see her biting her nails and opening her mouth with her messy hair waving.
Her behavior was contrary to what usually happened even when she reached maximum anger since she always was careful in front of me.
“I-I’m going to kill… I-I will kill.”
-This is pretty fun.
“Take… away that hand… you… you dirty c-cheap… b-bitch… take away that hand!!! Don’t touch oppa with those dirty hands. I-I’ll kill you!!! Kill!!! Cough! I will kill you!!! I’ll tear you up and kill you!! Cough! Cough!!! I will kill you!!!”
-…
“…”
“Dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!”
It was hard to tell who the real demon here was.
