It was about 10 more minutes later that Fobler followed.

“Sorry for being late.”

“That’s it. Let’s go.”

As Deltan said this, he gestured with his chin and put Pobbler in front of him.

There was no other reason.

“How is it? Does it smell a bit?”

This is because the pobbler’s sense of smell can detect the smell of the devil.

Not just where the devil is, but also their types and numbers.

I heard that each demon has a different scent.

“… Yes, there is just one. It’s the devil of retrograde.”

Pobbler let out his inhaled breath and asked.

“Can I handle it?”

“Is it that much?”

“Definitely intermediate or higher. Judging by its unique scent, it seems like it has just been given a name.”

Deltan looked inside the cave.

‘If he even has a name, he must have an ego.’

The devil walked away from the camp where he wanted to stay.

At this exact moment when I was taking Agnes out, I was running away to a rocky mountain where there was no one around.

Deltan grinned.

‘Bullshit.’

He was a man who never believed in this kind of coincidence.

“Looks like these bastards are up to something.”

The devil is cunning and vicious.

All their actions are focused on the corruption of the intelligent being.

As such, Deltans never thought of the possibility of ‘coincidence’ when encountering demons.

“First, take a look at where I went. I have to ask you something.”

Deltan walked into the cave.

He was holding Agnes with one arm and snapping his fingers with the other.

A crescent-shaped disk appeared behind Deltan’s back.

Above them, bloody surgical tools were clattering and stretching.

It was a repeat of what surgery supporters have done most over the past four years.

As always, there was no tension on his face.

This is because the devil is not a dangerous creature in person, but its temptation is dangerous.

Of course, from a Deltan’s perspective.

“Money profit-.”

At a point when they were so deep in the cave that they couldn’t see an inch in front of them, the Deltans found a ‘monkey’ whose body was emitting a faint glow.

No, is it wrong to be a monkey?

There is no hair on the pure white skin like human flesh. The eye sockets on the wrinkled face were empty, and the anus was trembling where the nose and mouth should have been.

Even the neck down was bizarre. The legs are attached to the shoulders where the arms should be.

There was a male penis hanging in the center of the solar plexus, two pairs of arms below the waist, and a tail as thick as a leg hanging from the buttocks.

That tail was the source of temptation. The eyes embedded in the starting point of the tail stared at the Deltan.

Deltan said.

“What are you looking down at?”

“Kkii… .”

The Retrograde Demon cringed and laughed.

Deltan smiled and waved his hand.

“I don’t want to wake the kid up, so let’s finish it quickly.”

At the same time as those words were said, the six arms that were attached to the ‘surgery support’ stretched out like beams of light.

The place where the drill pierced the arm where it was spinning was the devil’s solar plexus.

It was a place with a penis.

It was fuzzy.

My solar plexus was torn apart.

“Geek!!!”

“I hate sweet, bumbling bastards the most. What I’m saying is cover up the ugly things.”

There was no resistance from the devil.

It was natural. This is because other arms stretched out at the same time and tightly grasped the limbs and neck.

Blood began to gush out of the anus on his face.

Deltan said with a frown.

“I’m going to ask you a few questions now. If it’s right, it spins its tail. If it’s wrong, it stands straight up.”

Even if they were intelligent high-level demons, they did not have human vocal organs, so conversation was impossible.

If you invade the world of images, you can have a conversation, but that is only for the highest-ranking devils who can challenge the king’s position.

So the only way Deltans could communicate with demons was through non-verbal means.

“Is it your will to drop your tail at that campsite?”

“Kiii… .”

Kyriaugur twirled his tail.

An expression that means positivity.

Deltan’s smile deepened and he shot out two more arms.

Attached to the end was a hot iron.

Cheesy!

The soldering iron touched Kyriaugur’s eye, which was located at the starting point of the tail.

The devil’s body began to contort as if convulsing.

“Kkieeek!!!”

“Okay, why lie when you know it will hurt. huh? Let’s go easily.”

Rings made of mana were woven around the five arms that bound the devil’s limbs and neck.

It was a ring that vibrated when the devil lied.

‘First of all, there is someone else who ordered it.’

“Did he give you his name?”

This time too, the devil’s tail twirled.

The ring vibrated again.

The arm that shot out thrust the scalpel into the anus of the devil’s face and stirred it.

“Keeek-!!!”

Deltan’s expression became more subdued.

‘He is the highest ranking devil.’

It was a high-ranking demon like Chambler and Gaias that I had encountered before.

They were the only ones who could give names to other demons.

The devil was targeting him and Agnes.

Deltan let out a deep expression of displeasure at what he realized and turned on the interface.

1. Chambler’s Dream (Complete)

2. Heart of Gaias (Complete)

3. Token of Endless Winter (Incomplete)

4. Jewel of the Deep Sea (Wan)

5. Breath of the Martyrs (Incomplete)

6. Lopalgar’s Gluttony (Incomplete)

7. Giant’s Blessing (Incomplete)

8. Purification of Ergoragia (incomplete)

9. Seed of Demonic Exrias (Incomplete)

Deltan’s eyes were busy scanning the list.

I figured that if it was a high-ranking demon, it would also have something to do with this list of ingredients.

‘The ones that can be suspected are numbers 6 and 8.’

Among those written as proper nouns, the identity of two has not yet been revealed.

Deltain confirmed that and opened his mouth.

“Ropalgar?”

No.6 Lopalgar’s Gluttony.

When asked if he was the original owner of the material, the devil straightened his tail.

It meant negativity, and the ring vibrated.

The devil lied again.

Deltan’s eyes lit up.

‘Lopalgar was the devil’s name.’

The identity of an ingredient that had been shrouded in mystery has been additionally revealed.

The highest ranking demon, Ropalgar.

Since it has a name called gluttony, it is probably a demon with a tendency to greed or appetite.

The investigation could have been completed as is, but Deltan felt uneasy for some reason.

‘… ‘You’re so obedient.’

Although he continues to give opposing answers, he does not give up on answering.

That ring was a magic that lost its effectiveness as soon as the other party exercised their right to remain silent, and it was a magic that information had already been released even among the demons.

But why does a devil with a name obediently give an answer?

Isn’t there something that comes to mind?

‘please… .’

It seems like they are deliberately trying to convey this answer.

No, being on a rocky mountain like this was very suspicious in the first place.

Deltan’s expression became serious.

My thoughts were accelerating more than ever to realize what I was missing.

‘What the devil can gain by passing on information.’

does not exist.

There was nothing.

That means that neither the demon called Kyriaugur nor the Lopalgar behind that demon have any benefit to gain from giving them information.

‘Then why… .’

At that moment, Deltan stopped and trembled.

Deltan’s eyes widened as if torn by a sudden guess and he glared at the interface.

‘… There’s nothing to gain from those two.’

But, apart from those two, there was one.

“… Ergoragia.”

No.8 Purity of Ergoragia.

If the original owner of this material is also a devil.

What if this demon hid his identity using Lopalgar?

If you were planning to catch yourself off guard by planting such disturbing information.

With that thought in mind, Deltan looked at Kyriaugur.

The demon stopped all movement.

It was the right to remain silent.

A tearful smile appeared on Deltan’s lips.

“You guys formed an alliance?”

The smile was not one of joy.

It was a reaction caused by a sense of crisis and anger that had built up to the very tip of my head.

“That’s strange. Famous guys never form alliances, right? huh? You guys only form relationships between superiors and subordinates, right? Why are you forming an alliance now? What is your purpose?”

The surgery supporter’s arms all attacked the devil.

The torture continued by peeling off the entire skin, digging through the insides, and scraping out the nerves.

It was to get an answer no matter what.

Crunch, crackle. Tdu-duk-duk.

For a long time, the sound of flesh and bones cracking and crushing echoed throughout.

However, the devil exercised his right to remain silent throughout.

Povler, who came out late, said.

“Boss. Dead.”

Stop.

Deltan’s movements stopped.

Deltan, who was glaring at the devil with his feverish and bloodshot eyes, only then realized that the devil was drooping and clicked his tongue.

“Gutless bastard.”

Deltan said, sweeping his hands under his eyes.

“Put it away.”

His head was still busy.

Another clue was deduced from the information now revealed.

‘It’s related to DLC.’

The ‘Eternal Contract’ whose identity is still unknown.

That would be the most likely reason why the devil formed an alliance.

In that context, the reason why he threatened to accompany Agnes was also understandable.

The demons must have known what the Eternal Contract was.

This can be seen just by looking at Chambler and Gaias, which were dealt with earlier.

In addition, there were speculations that emerged when considering this alliance.

‘Can’t it be completed?’

From the devil’s perspective, the eternal contract may be something that should not be completed.

The reason for targeting Agnes may also have been to get rid of ‘Mahwa Exrias’, one of the contract materials.

Deltan looked at the demon’s body lying on the floor with sunken eyes.

Pobbler was lying down chewing on the devil, whose skin had been completely torn off and its insides exposed red.

Fobler’s ability is meat.

It was an ability to gain additional mana depending on the type and grade of meat stuffed into the stomach.

The mana conversion rate is horribly low, so it is not cost-effective, but if you invest well, it is an ability that can be grown to rival Kaltara, and at the same time, it is an ability that Deltan added one function to.

“Fobler. Do you feel anything?”

“There is no felt contract. It is not contractual obedience.”

“The devil obeyed without a contract? You must really go crazy.”

This is the function that determines the contract placed on the devil’s body.

As this was a function added using the highest grade of hidden pieces found by Deltain, its performance was certain.

That was the problem.

If you couldn’t determine the contract with that kind of performance, it would mean that the devil really obeyed without a contract.

‘Eternal Contract.’

What on earth is this that makes the devil throw such a fit?

I continued to think about it, but there was nothing more I could figure out right now.

“… In the end, I have to go.”

The Deltan’s eyes looked outside the cave.

‘Spirit of the snowy mountain.’

And the Spirit King you can meet there.

The only place I could hang on now was there.
