At Haimon

He had two lives left.

Since he wouldn’t be able to transform into a demon in his last life, who would he transform into with his most powerful disguise?

‘It’s about time they noticed outside and came…’

As soon as he thought that, Count Krintos Haimon and the knights burst into the room with a loud noise close to a castle.

“Scarl Bernatore!!”

They couldn’t hide their displeasure and disgust at the blood-soaked room.

“How dare you! What is this place―!!”

He didn’t inform Krintos in advance.

There was no time to inform him, and he deliberately induced him to use Krintos.

Scarl, who had scanned the blood-soaked room, smiled indifferently and sprayed perfume on his body.

The knights and Krintos’ nostrils flared greatly because he looked like a psychopath obsessed with murder.

A clearly heterogeneous reaction in this blood-filled situation.

Only then could he see the thick purple mana flowing from the eyes of Krintos and the knights.

‘They’ve been taken.’

The confrontation was not long.

“What. How is it?”

At Scarl’s words, Krintos couldn’t stand it and drew his sword, and Scarl raised his fist against them.

“Ugh! How dare you!”

One of the knights screamed and rushed at Scarl, starting a battle in the narrow room.

“For our flower, Lady Io!”

“Die! You rascal!”

Two knights followed.

They swung their mana-covered swords without hesitation, as if they had a grudge against Scarl.

Whoosh―!

Scarl moved the sword of the first knight to the side to avoid it.

The other two swords came at Scarl in the direction he moved.

Clang! Clang!!

Scarl, who took left and right steps that could be called exquisite, made the knights’ attacks entangled with each other.

“Crazy!”

“What is this?!”

Ignoring the astonished voices from behind, Scarl slammed his fist into his right arm.

Crack!

Zap!

The knights fainted with the sound of bones breaking.

Scarl couldn’t help but lament that the skills of Haimon’s elite knights were worse than he thought.

‘No wonder they’re swayed by Samigina.’

“Tsk.”

“What?!”

“Did you just click your tongue?”

“Ha! I was going easy on you because of Io, but I can’t!”

Scarl had no intention of wasting his strength on these guys.

He was already exhausted from dealing with Samigina.

It was enough to buy time to forcibly inject vitality using his inheritance passive.

At the same time, he began to move to create a minimum of combat disability so that the knights’ bodies would not be damaged.

The three newly rushed knights were also covered in bruises in an instant.

There were still about a dozen knights left.

The sight of the knights crawling on the floor was similar to the blood-red room.

Despite this overwhelming difference in skill, the morale of Haimon’s knights did not decline.

Krintos must have fully confirmed the skills of Scarl and the knights, but he forced the knights with more violent words.

“Kill that guy!”

As soon as the sound fell, five people emitting murderous intent rushed in.

“Yes!”

“I understand. My lord!”

“Die! You monster!”

“Don’t let your guard down!”

“Don’t underestimate Haimon!”

Scarl didn’t even take a breath when dealing with the three knights just now.

But now it was different.

There was no space for Scarl to pull his body out like before, and the five swords went to Scarl with a highly complete combination of attacks, as if it were the continuous attacks they practiced every day.

The swords of the five knights approached Scarl in the blink of an eye, creating a touch-and-go situation.

The screams of the dead echoed incessantly.

Io, who felt like she was about to lose her mind, covered herself more deeply with the blanket and blocked her ears tightly with her hands.

“Please! Please…!”

The demon’s bizarre magic pierced through the walls and constantly stimulated Io’s ears.

-It’s all because of you.

-Lady Io killed me.

-Save me. Please save me. Please.

-Aaaaaah!! Miss!! Please!

-Kaaaaaaak!

“No! I didn’t do it!”

Io, who had a tender heart, felt like she was going crazy at the screams of the dead that she could hear no matter how much she blocked her ears.

“Scarl! Scarl―!! There was no talk about this!!”

Io, who bounced off the bed as if kicking the blanket away, looked no different from a crazy woman with disheveled hair.

“Everyone get out of here!!”

Whether the ghosts listened to Io’s words, the eerie sound in her ears suddenly stopped.

Then, the sound of her father and Scarl’s conversation could be heard from somewhere.

‘Father? Scarl?’

Io unknowingly put her ear to the wall.

The sound of conversation could be heard beyond the wall.

-Baron Scarl! What is this!

-What is it? What did I do wrong?

-Isn’t this too much! How can you commit such a massacre! Can you still be called a Hero after this?!

-Ha! I just need to screw Io.

-What, what?! You, you’re going to do what to my daughter?! You son of a bitch!

Io let out a hollow laugh at the unbelievable conversation.

“Ha.”

Scarl, as seen by her father, was arrogant.

He gave off a frivolous and light impression rather than the weight and composure that is the epitome of a nobleman.

But Io knew now.

Scarl, who told her to stay here, was the man of rumors.

If she hadn’t put the amulet he gave her on the door, the door would have been broken after a few strong knocks.

Considering the demon who was banging on the door to break it before the 3rd or 2nd time, she still shuddered, and she wasn’t confident that she would be fooled by such lies.

But what if it’s real?

What if Scarl is making fun of her?

Io’s exhausted mind kept making her see the situation negatively.

She was tired enough to blindly believe Scarl’s words, and the sounds she heard were constantly terrible.

The desire to go out was slowly rising again.

“No. No!”

He is trying.

It’s an effort to save her.

Looking at the amulet attached to the door, Io’s fierce face came to mind, and she regained her peace of mind.

“Hoo-”

As soon as she sighed, the eerie sound of the dead began to echo in her ears again.

Io knew that this was the demon’s doing, but she felt like she was going crazy because she had no mental resistance.

“Please end it quickly! Please!”

Io, who endured and endured and collapsed on the bed, thought that 1 minute was like a month.

The eerie sound that constantly tormented her head echoed again, and her tear-stained face was reflected in the mirror in the room.

‘This is a demon.’

As Scarl said, he was vicious.

Io, who clenched her teeth so hard that her molars were about to break, realized that she was staring at herself in the mirror.

Io began to talk to the mirror as if possessed.

-You killed them all-

Herself in the mirror, who pierced through the most worrying part from the first word.

“Wh, what. Scarl told me to stay here…”

Herself in the mirror giggles.

-You’re killing Scarl too. Do you think Haimon’s knights are a joke?-

Inwardly, she thinks it could be.

The situation she just heard was by no means favorable to Scarl, and considering the more than 20 elite knights her father was taking with him…

“What are you talking about! Scarl is a Hero!”

The following words were enough to embarrass Io, who had made up her mind firmly.

-Slut-

“…Wh, what?! Do you think I’d have feelings for someone I’ve only met for a day?”

Herself in the mirror licks her lips at Io’s appearance, who was hit right on the mark.

-You abandoned your family and stuck with that bastard. Can’t you hear your dad’s voice outside?-

“That’s my dad.”

Krintos’ voice clearly struck Io’s eardrums.

She hears Krintos’ instructions to cut off Scarl’s breath.

Io unknowingly grabs the doorknob and shouts loudly, hoping her father will hear her.

“No―!! Stop!!”

Should I stop it? Me? But Scarl told me not to come out…

Knock knock

-Io. Come out.

It’s Scarl’s voice.

-Father told you to come out. It’s okay for a moment.

Huh? What did you just say?

The voices that had been fighting until just now disappeared like a lie, and only Scarl’s voice could be heard in her ears.

“I, is it over? Really?”

“Yeah. I just finished it. He transformed into Father.”

Finished? Finished?

‘Scarl didn’t say finish. He just told me to come out tomorrow.’

Io’s mind flashed.

“Get out of here, demon!! Do you think I’ll be fooled?”

-Tsk.

Did you just say tsk…?

In Scarl’s voice, who was talking to me in the mirror for a while? No, was there a mirror in this room?

Io’s eyes were filled with noise, as if her head was filled with noise, like a person having a lucid dream.

“You’re finally out. Nice to meet you. Io.”

The being in front of her was ‘me’.

“Scarl Bernatore!!”

Krintos and the knights couldn’t touch a single hair on Scarl’s head.

Scarl just overwhelmed them.

Dealing with knights charmed by demons was too easy for him now.

It was just annoying to have to consider them, who were floundering without even showing half of their skills.

‘He couldn’t have just come.’

It was clear that Samigina, who had two lives left, sent it…

‘Could it be…’

“Io!”

When he went to Io’s room, he could see the door open.

“What the hell!”

Samigina took Io and disappeared.
