“Yay- bitch-kid-ya!!!”

The echo of the cliff and Leonard’s voice combine to create an incredibly loud cry. It was a shame that we couldn’t get stage sound, but Leonard is a great audience member. I can’t believe I participated so actively in the performance.

It is more vivid because it contains emotion and spirit. Oh, what Leonard is yelling right now is sincere, so is that natural? Rather good! Originally, 4D was the trend in performances these days! Of course, that was 500 years later!

Okay, starting today I am a film director. A 4D professional film director who worked 500 years before the first film was shown. As of now, there are only actors, directors, lighting effects, and extras, but this will change as actors are recruited one by one.

For now, we will have to be satisfied with this simple small theater and the audience that is less distant from it. One day, the entire continent will become a stage, and the moment will come when the devil, the emperor, and the warrior can be in the audience. I make it like that.

“ Wow, you’re falling so cool. Big brother, don’t you think my second brother’s backside is very sexy? If he had grown up properly, I think he would have charmed all kinds of females.”

“Oh, Oscar… ! Yeah, what did you just do? !”

“What did you do? You also heard my second brother say that he could see something down there. I asked you to look more closely.”

“… You crazy bastard! Did you forget that although Leonard cannot use flight magic, he possesses the ability to liquify his body! If he comes up, you will die! At least one thing will break!”

“Wow! Liquidization ability! and! Ignore shock!”

oh my god! Leonard had such superpowers!

I’m not surprised at all.

Puseok-.

A hollow sound was heard from beneath the cliff. It is the sound of a life being torn apart. It is the sound of an ambitious demon falling to nothing. The appetizer stage has ended.

“… … Huh?”

“Well, this is so obvious. Unless it is an extremely rare ability that does not require magic power, any ability cannot be used without magic power. Do you know?”

“ji, what are you talking about? I can’t use magical power.”

“Ahaha, did you feel that today’s dinner was particularly delicious compared to usual? I’m the type of person who does my best in anything, so I showed off my fighting spirit when preparing my brothers’ last dinner.”

Even though Letavis was so careless, he wasn’t so stupid that he couldn’t understand what he meant when he said this intuitively. It’s not like he ever had a head injury when he was young like Adela.

“… It was you who prepared dinner, not your uncle?”

“Kyahahaha- It was my uncle who cooked, and I only helped. How much you say you helped is subjective, right? For example, even if you are in charge of cooking from start to finish, you can still say that you helped depending on the person!”

After hearing my words filled with pleasure, Letavis began groping himself in a panic. Without even knowing that it was already too late.

A fish on a cutting board does not realize its situation until it becomes spicy stew. The demons in front of you now are similar.

Like a fish being washed in cold, ice-cold water, its entire body absorbs the undeservedly brilliant blue moonlight, and, engulfed in bewilderment, it wanders around looking for the magic power it should have in its body.

There’s no way it can be found like that.

“Uh, why? What on earth have you done to me!?”

“Poison was added. It’s the magic suppressant my uncle always gave me. Thanks to you, the two brothers’ magical powers are completely sealed? Oh that’s right, there’s only one person left!”

“Magic suppressant? Then, there was a sound from under the cliff… … !”

“It means that our dear brother Leonard hit a rock and was blown to smithereens! They say they fall into the trap they set for themselves!”

I spread my arms wide and jumped around. Telling the reason why I disguised myself as my uncle and cooked dinner.

Hallucinogenic drugs were added to Adela’s meals, sleeping pills were added to the others’ meals, and magic suppressants were added to the two cute brothers. It was easy to get your hands on it. My uncle must have been up to some evil plan by keeping all these poisonous plants in the kitchen.

Letavis, blame your uncle, not me. If you put a bomb in the hands of an immature prankster like me, there’s no choice but to explode it.

“… Then what about the letter? Did you write that too?”

“You should have revealed your side appropriately. Did you like Succubus that much? Well, a succubus who is said to be overflowing with lust is every male’s dream.”

“The reason you lured us here was originally a plan to kill Leonard?”

“Yes? No way. If I had only been playing with my second brother, there wouldn’t have been a need to escalate things like this.”

Letavis looked dumbfounded at my words. There’s a really nice question mark on his face.

“Playing, what?”

“Yes? Of course, bro. Don’t give me a straight face! We’re just playing together right now!”

“Invoking reasons that don’t seem like such a thing… How dare you kill your brother? ?”

“You also tried to kill me when I became a saint. I just brought the timing forward!”

“… ! You crazy bastard… ! Don’t you know what will happen if you kill a non-adult demon? The demon world police will arrest you! The damage will spread to our family!”

“Do you know where I live, Letavis? I’ve already prepared everything for the next day. I’m a demon who doesn’t make plans, but I can at least think.”

As soon as I spoke, I tapped my temple. Letavis gritted his teeth. His fist clenches and curls up nicely. The fists are about to rush towards me. Just thinking about it makes my body warm.

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump-.

In my head, I hear the sound of drums that only I can hear. It is the sound of drums that heightens and excites me. Like Paplov’s dog, I feel a thrill of pleasure when I hear this sound of the heart.

“In the end, you’re going to fight with me, right?”

“It’s a fight. Please leave those vulgar and horrible words out! This is just a joke!”

“Yeah, that joke. I’ll hang out with you too. It means that I will kill you and cover up this situation.”

“I like the active audience participation! The best thing about a show is when it goes in an unpredictable direction!”

Actually, I expected to face him.

Don’t be too discouraged.

A frightened prey does not let down its guard.

Step by step-.

Letavis takes a menacing step toward me as I stand on the edge of the cliff.

His red eyes contained many emotions. Having just seen his younger brother die, he had an instinctive fear that the same thing might happen to him. Seething murderous intent to facilitate the struggle for survival. Forced hostility and anger.

It is clearly the appearance of a prey. It is the mindset of a weak person who puffs up his body to avoid being eaten. Like a pufferfish that inflates its body when it encounters a predator, or a hedgehog that erects sharp thorns.

But ironically, even Letavis is stronger than me. Overwhelmingly.

No matter how bad I am at handling magic, I am a body and my opponent is a saint. The differences in frame, weight class, height, and strength are obvious.

and.

“Ah, that’s right. I almost forgot.”

“What?”

“It’s a game only if I participate on stage together. I almost did what I hate the most.”

Take out a medicine bottle, open the cap, and pour the contents of the bottle into your mouth.

“Gulp-.”

Ah, I drank the raw liquid and it didn’t taste that bad. As expected from our little mother, the taste of food is excellent. Well, even when I was young, I never stopped eating because it didn’t taste good. Although there were times when I avoided it because of the poison in it.

“… Oscar, what did you just drink?”

“Ah, this? It’s the same thing my brother took. The virtue of chaos is equality, but I can’t look down from a superior position, right?”

“Are you really crazy? What are you going to do without magic? … !”

Even if I had magic anyway, there wouldn’t have been anything I could have done with it. The amount of magical power is very small, and my current magic level is at the lowest level. However, it is mana.

“Oh, if you’re going to be so arrogant, I will personally teach you the price of arrogance.”

A warm hope shines in Letavis’ eyes. Yeah, that’s better. The best solution is to raise unfounded confidence and increase the possibility of exposing weaknesses. Rather than holding on to useless magic power. It gives magic power and creates the possibility of loopholes.

And above all, I hate high-ranking people looking down from above. In fact, if you look at them, they are no different from the people living in the gutter. They think they are superior and try to get drunk on a vain sense of superiority.

In the distant future, there is such a prime minister in a place called the Dark Kingdom among the seven countries that divide the continent. The Prime Minister gathered slaves from the bottom, stripped them naked, regardless of whether they were men or women, mixed them with animals, and placed them in a huge circular cage. He told them to enjoy it, saying it was a game to observe human instincts.

When I saw that, I swapped the prime minister and a slave, changed only their clothes, and then threw the prime minister into the cage. Then, no one noticed any difference. Even though the Prime Minister screamed and cried out that he did not belong here, the soldiers only beat him with their clubs, asking if he was a slave who dared to fight against him.

I like those types of barbaric games, but I don’t like it when some insignificant guy tries to reign over them as a bystander, as if he were a god. It is for the same reason that he confronted the Demon King who was trying to rule as the ruler of the continent.

How could I, like that, commit atrocities?

Sereung-.

“Now, let’s begin tonight’s main event.”

He takes out the penknife he brought from the Southern Duke’s residence, which was King’s residence. A sharp anticipation flows smoothly down the back of my hand. I twirled the penknife around my finger.

I hope you don’t call me cowardly for taking out a dagger. Because the skin of Letavis, an adult demon, is harder and tougher than this dagger. Unlike the fickle magic power, the body that had been steadily trained did not betray its owner. I’m just trying to maintain a balance of power.

“The name of the show is ! Start now!”

Now, the height difference between me and Letavis is ridiculous to even compare, and even if I hold a penknife, Letavis’ reach is about two cheeks longer. Moreover, this penknife is a truly common dagger that cannot even cut Letavis’ body. It’s the kind of show where the outcome is as clearly predictable as the fight between goblins and trolls.

However, the Joker is the Joker because he overturns all common sense and expectations. The frivolous Joker who will plunge half the continent into darkness 500 years later is here now.

Letavis charges at me like a bull with his fists clenched. I laughed heartily and twirled the penknife with my gloved hand.
