〈Episode 439〉 Regret. (5)
Silence falls as we meet the gaze of the Demon Emperor.
The particularly bright purple eyes and the magic energy floating in the air felt heavy.
The demon’s gaze leaves me and turns to the demon swordsman.
“Vice-captain.”
“…huh….”
“Explain.”
What a crazy guy, you talk like a dog.
I almost frowned without realizing it, but I barely held it together with incredible patience.
Even though he looks like shit, why does he talk like that?
Was I the only one who questioned it? The reactions from those around me were quiet.
It was a simple statement, but it had enough meaning. After hearing that, Ma Geum-hu looked at me and blurted out a word.
“…newbie.”
“Newbie?”
“Yeah… Our new recruits… .”
The magician’s gaze turned to me again.
Interest is drawn to the purple eyes.
Knock knock.
Then the man sitting on the throne slowly got up.
The magic spread in the air stirs once more.
‘… Oh, this.’
Instinctively, I couldn’t help but notice something was going on.
There’s only one thing a slut like me can do in a situation like this.
“Because I’m new….”
The body of the demon that was looking down at me.
Pot-
Disappears before your eyes.
I prepared myself by tense up my body.
I missed him right before my eyes, but I knew where he would appear.
Right in front of your nose.
The devil appeared in front of me.
“Ugh…!”
He just grabbed me by the neck and lifted me up.
역시나 이 개새끼 성질을 생각하면 뻔한 일이었다.
“Who sent it?”

“Ugh… .”
The murderous intent in her voice pierces my whole body.
The Demon Sword Master just watched, seemingly oblivious to this.
‘Ah… This fucking kid, really… .’
Is this what it means to have someone spit in your face?
The more I look at him, the more I can’t help but curse at him.
“It’s clear that it’s mine… but the realm is not ordinary.”
Kwak.
“Ugh…!”
The pressure on my neck is getting stronger. I can feel it and notice it.
This idiot. He thinks I’m a genius, so his self-righteousness seems to have kicked in.
“Let me ask you. Who sent you?”
I feel heat on the side of my neck that was caught.
If the reply is even a little late, it’s obvious that it will be burned.
I barely managed to get the words out, enduring the pressure.
“The leader… sent… you…”
“The leader?”
When I hear that, the strength in my hands slightly loosens.
When they say that Cheonma sent it, doubts grow in their eyes and questions arise.
Immediately afterwards, the Mage swings his arm and throws me straight into the wall.
BAM-! Kkwadduk-!
“Crunch…!”
As it flew, it destroyed a pillar and, as if that wasn’t enough, it crashed into a wall.
My body trembles in shock.
Even though I predicted it and turned on the attack, I couldn’t defend properly.
I barely managed to pull myself together and opened my eyes slightly, and saw the demon who had come closer and was looking down at me.
“The leader… sent you to me….”
Bam.
He stretches out his toes and lifts my chin.
“thee?”
I feel quite a bit strange.
“… Yes… The cult leader… told me to join the Black Flame Corps and follow the lord’s orders…”
“Tell me your name.”
“…”
I had to flinch for a moment at the Mage’s question.

Yeah, fucking right.
You haven’t decided on a name yet.
Cold sweat is running down my face.
What should I say?
There was no time to hesitate. If you hesitated, you would die instantly.
This idiot bastard will definitely be killed if he is suspected of being sent by the cult leader or not.
What a crazy kid, to treat life like this. Anyway, his personality is ruined.
“The reply is late….”
“Pah… It’s a palm leaf.”
I closed my eyes tightly and answered quickly.
I just felt like I had to answer something.
‘Ah… . Shit. What the heck is a palm leaf? A palm leaf.’
I feel like I said something wrong because I was trying to do it in a hurry.
When I tried to spit out the phrase, Gu-ssi thought it wouldn’t work, so I quickly changed my words as soon as they came out.
What popped out like that was the palm leaf.
and.
‘…this.’
This was clearly a mistake.
Did you name it like this? No, that’s not a mistake.
The gaps I saw in this fleeting moment.
There were minor hesitations there. Even the expressions on his face in front of the bastard.
All those things that I saw because I was so absorbed in peace that I couldn’t control myself properly.
It must have been a source of suspicion for the guy in front.
I could tell so well because it was me.
Knock knock.
The fingertips move slightly.
This was a situation where if you made a mistake you would die.
Before the guy lit the fire.
I continued speaking to the maid.
“The cult leader… asked me to convey this message in case the great lord does not believe me.”
Stop.
The body of the guy who was trying to move stops for a moment.
Perhaps because I had bet my life on it, I didn’t hear an answer, but I could feel it in the demon’s expression.
Those eyes must mean, “Tell me something.”
I swallowed lightly as I looked at it and then spat it out.

“… There are only two promises left… I think that would be enough… .”
“…”
Gugugugugu.
‘Rotten.’
A mad murderous aura emanated from Maze’s back as he heard my words.
To live with this much life force in just one action.
That’s why you can’t live up to your name, you idiot.
With such a foul temper, I wondered how he had been raised at home.
But that’s it.
He won’t be able to attack me.
Because from what I just said, you probably know that Cheonma values me in his own way.
Only Cheonma and Maje know about the promise.
Since you found out about this right away, your suspicions will grow, but for now, there’s nothing you can do.
After issuing the standby order, Cheonma did not look for the Demon Emperor until the Demon Sword Master died.
On the contrary, there was no way that Maze would go to Cheonma first.
This will probably work as an excuse.
Even though I’m so angry that I want to kill her, the devil won’t kill me.
I spent a moment of silence, looking into Maje’s eyes.
Whew.
The devil turned his back on me first.
‘after.’
It was as expected.
It doesn’t mean my life is getting any worse, but at least for now, I feel like I’ve gotten over it.
Cool.
A short cough mixed with blood came out.
Looks like the attack just turned his stomach upside down.
‘That fucking guy… .’
How can you treat people like this?
As he spat out the remaining blood, the demon king looked at the demon swordsman and said something.
“The deputy chief should come to the chief’s office for a report later.”
“…okay….”
After confirming the answer of the Demon Sword Master, the Demon Lord leaves the battlefield. As I watched him, I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth.
That guy, that guy. He left the place because he couldn’t control his temper and was afraid that he would kill them all.
‘What a fucking punk.’
I don’t like every single one of your actions.

Phew.
He spat bloody saliva on the floor and then got up with his body aching.
He screamed from his joints.
Drumroll. Just as I was trying to calm my nerves by circulating the bet, someone approached me.
He was a unique man with brown hair and black eyes. I knew him well.
‘Silent fist.’
Muk Kwon Hwangbo Seon.
He was a member of the Hwangbo family and was under my command.
It’s nice to see you like this.
The silent man suddenly appeared and looked me up and down.
“Follow me.”
He blurted out the words and started walking away.
‘…’
It’s a strange feeling, being treated so rudely by that guy.
Immediately after the demon disappeared, those in the main hall began to breathe heavily and only then did they rise one by one.
I thought about what to do, but since there was no other way, I followed the silence for now.
At that time, I didn’t know.
Until we get out of the main battlefield, avoiding the rubble.
For some reason, the Demon Sword Master was staring at me intently.
******************
The place we arrived at following the silence was a place where many houses were gathered.
This was also a place I was very familiar with.
It was only natural, since it was the place where the Black Flame Corps resided, not anywhere else.
‘…’
Black Salt Dagger, what a beggarly name.
I found myself spitting it out without realizing it, but for a moment I had the illusion that I was used to it.
