Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

Chapter 645

EP·645

After punching the girl who had arrogantly intervened in someone else’s conversation a few times and then accelerating the absorption of divine power with Este, the vampire was unable to even put up a proper resistance, making the appearance he had shown on the train pale in comparison. It seems that the source of this trash was the divine power of the evil god.

“It’s good that things are easier, but why do these guys, Crumelia and Ingladio, make so many contracts and cause so much trouble? Are they the only two devils in the Manmajeon?”

I remember there being 13 people named after the Archduke or something I knew, and I was wondering what kind of a shitty case this was, when Caruberos, who had been watching closely, cautiously intervened.

“That’s because it’s their territory.”

“···wisdom?”

“Yes, mortals also have lords who operate in their own territories, and when another lord invades, they fight. It’s similar to that.”

According to Caruberos, the territory of the Manmajeon is so vast that even the continent cannot dare to touch it, and at the same time, the jurisdiction of the great demons is very clearly divided. Those great demons also engage in wars of conquest to expand their territory, but in the end, the overall appearance is not much different from the kingdom of mortals.

Long ago, in the romantic era, even the grand dukes fought fiercely, but now that the balance of power is so tight, they have grown tired of it, so they have made rules, set ratios like accumulating maps, and divided it up like this: from here to here, it’s Malsuk’s jurisdiction, from there to that, it’s Chunshik’s jurisdiction.

It doesn’t really feel like a good standard to me because it’s not based on a country, but it seems reasonable to the devils.

“If you go across the sea to Ladan right now, there will be demons with strange names that even you, the master, have never heard of before. Sometimes, due to the interaction between mortals, they creep into other people’s jurisdictions, but that’s an agreement in its own way.”

“The method of taking away people’s souls is truly systematic.”

“···lol·”

“Don’t laugh, it’s not a compliment, you punk. What did you do that makes you laugh?”

If I had just stayed still, the devil’s children would have fought each other on their own, but I was hearing stories about someone having a brilliant idea to unite a similar race, and I was getting angry. On top of that, the devil’s children were laughing as if they had been praised, and I felt dirty even though I was listening to the moans of the vampires dying right next to me.

“···The more I think about it, the angrier I get?”

Still, I tried my best not to use pointless violence, but in the end, I just got angry and decided to kick Caruberos. The unexpected attack caused the guy to roll to the side, but I didn’t feel particularly sorry for him.

“It wasn’t me, Master!”

“You’re just a devil, so you’re guilty by association. Even if we assume that Crumelia was the one who started a bit of trouble near Itiselle because the territories were divided like that, doesn’t that make sense? Do Ingladiou and Crumelia catch dogs and cows and make contracts? How do they get involved with every single kid they meet?”

In fact, from my point of view, it would have been better if it was better, there was nothing bad about it.

If the stone-faced Lich had made a contract with a demon other than Ingladiou, there’s no telling how things would have turned out, and if the vampire lying next to him had made a contract with a high-ranking demon other than Crumelia, there’s no telling how much strength he would have recovered. Rather, thanks to the amazing first step, the damned bastards’ plans have been exposed one by one.

But my belief is that you should be suspicious of situations where things work out smoothly without me having planned them at all. Even situations that would have been random draws if things had gone as planned were working out so well that I honestly felt like things had gotten tangled up somewhere I didn’t know about.

I thought my doubts were quite valid, but for some reason, Caruberos, who had been kicked out by me and then returned to his seat and knelt down, had an expression that was incredibly mysterious.

“Uh… But why are you having such doubts…? Weren’t you the one who stopped Crumelia’s plan?”

It seems like you really don’t understand it at all.

At the same time, Caruberos did not withdraw his statement, even though he seemed to be afraid of getting hit again while speaking. Even though he was responding cautiously, he couldn’t help but tilt his head when he asked like that.

“What are you talking about? What does stopping him have to do with all the crap he’s been linked to?”

“That’s because you’re going straight into a situation where those kinds of things you mentioned will keep getting entangled…?”

I still don’t know what he’s talking about. I was about to raise my fist thinking that if I hit him once, he’d explain more clearly, but Caruberos reflexively raised both his arms and quickly answered.

“Your Majesty, you personally seek out and destroy only the Demon King’s army and other major incidents! If you go around trying to get involved and then get angry and ask why I’m getting involved, what should I say in response?”

I was going to ignore any answer and just hit him, but surprisingly, the guy’s screams were enough to stop me from moving.

“···I personally went around looking for it and destroyed it?”

“···Wasn’t it?”

I wanted to react like, “What the heck is this nonsense?” but since Caruberos reacted first, it became ambiguous.

This is serious now.

“That never happened. Everywhere I went, they came.”

“That’s really… shocking.”

Caruberos, who blinked and made his pupils tremble once at my dumbfounded answer, continued speaking cautiously only after he properly read my dumbfounded reaction.

“I thought you knew what you were doing when you said you were going to stop Crumelia’s descent… but how did you stop it when you didn’t know?”

“By killing·”

I was so dumbfounded by the guy asking the obvious question that I gave him an obvious answer, but in return I got a look of fear from Caruberos, as if he was looking at a monster.

“Ah, even if the warrior has the power to pull fate, this is a bit strange···”

“If you keep talking nonsense like that one more time, I’ll start by pulling out all your teeth every time we meet.”

To prove that it wasn’t a joke, I reached out to Caruberos’ head, and he answered hastily, kneeling and leaning his upper body back.

“First of all! Crumelia has already made a contract with the Demon King’s Army a long time ago! I don’t know the terms, but the vampires that made the contract with Crumelia are being used by the Demon King’s Army because of this! It’s not like you can just feed them blood and use them!”

“then?”

“Sex… No, no, you have to drink blood from a designated cup. If you just feed it blood, it’ll have to follow that person’s orders as soon as it sucks that person’s blood.”

It makes sense indeed.

At the same time, there was Caruberos who explained why the evil god Lacosma had cast such a complicated curse, but honestly, I was so angry that the evil god bastard got stabbed in the back of the head that I didn’t really care about the inside story of the curse that he risked his life to cast, so I just let it slide.

The conclusion was that since Crumelia joined hands with the Demon King’s Army, it was inevitable that those who contracted with her or were related to her would be mobilized by the Demon King’s Army.

Of course, that doesn’t completely explain the causal relationship that keeps them intertwined with me.

However, based on the fact that it is rare for such guys to be weak, it would be tricky to send a Master-level player, but it would definitely be a waste to send an Expert-level player, so it was not unreasonable to take out a Joker card that was not standard.

Rather, it’s closer to making sense. Even if we assume that the Demon King has returned, it’s understandable that he’s a stone-throwing lich, but it’s hard to understand how he could find and use a drone-like thing that requires a remote control.

But if you assume that you got the information in exchange for making a deal with the Great Demon, then the story is different. After I finished organizing my thoughts, I nodded briefly and then asked.

“Ingladio?”

Then, Caruberos, who had been talking fluently, started sweating again.

“Uh… It’s a total coincidence that you got involved with him, but if you look at the scope of his activities, it’s completely normal….”

The location where the fake cult of magicians who tried to sacrifice the saint of the Holy Light Cross was operating and the ruined city where the stone-throwing Lich resided were exactly Ingladiou’s home ground in the past. That’s all. It was just a coincidence that Lich was active and on the side of the Demon King’s army, and that the fake cult of magicians was helping Ingladiou’s incarnation.

I can understand why Caruberos is watching. He was probably worried that he would get beaten up if he tried to pressure him into believing that.

As expected, the guy said, “Even coincidence is really evil,” as if he was reading a Korean textbook, and looked at me, but since I already knew that the power of “balance” was at work, I didn’t care because it was a situation that I could fully accept.

“Okay, let’s say that’s true, but how do we kill him?”

While feeling a sense of belated helplessness, I pointed to the vampire who was still happily sucking the divine power from Este. Caruberos glanced at me and answered without hesitation.

“The Holy… wine cup must be destroyed. When the divine power is depleted, you will reach a point where you are no different from a mortal, but the reason you cannot die is not due to the vampire’s ability, but because of the curse.”

“You’re destroying the glass? You’re saying that’s a means to control him.”

“That’s why it’s something that any vampire would want to destroy first.”

“aha·”

It’s not like I can’t drink blood without it, so if it were me, I would have destroyed it first.

The evil spirit’s original purpose was to make those bastards live a life of suffering like slaves, holding onto a goal they could never achieve, so it’s only natural that he would set up such a device.

“If he dies, what happens to the remaining divine power? Will it flow to other vampires?”

“Crumelia absorbs it”

That was such an obvious question.

“If I ask him to tell me where the demon kids are, will he tell me?”

“I will never tell you. If he had no regrets about life, he would have destroyed the cup and killed himself as soon as he was cursed.”

“I guess so?”

I feel this once again, but Caruberos’ knowledge was worth using.

Now that we have unintentionally completed the verification in terms of knowledge, it seems necessary to properly check whether it has physical value.

“So you catch him.”

“···yes?”

Caruberos questioned with a dumbfounded expression, but he didn’t bother to ask twice.
