There is something I really wanted to do someday. What did they say? Penetroscope? Am I the double number method?

These were techniques only seen in novels. Of course, in reality this was not possible at all.

If you hit somewhere, the impact will naturally start from the center and spread out.

Does it make sense that there is no damage to the area that was hit, but the inside, which was not even touched, is damaged?

If that were possible, there would be no reason for skin, muscles, and bones to exist.

But it’s different here. At least in this worldview, this body was different.

If you put your mind to it, you can ignore all defenses and attack the enemy.

It was even possible to pass by the guy in front and hit the guy behind him!

‘This is the greatest romance you can have as a martial artist!’

The romance that can be achieved with a sword is a great sword, a lightsaber, and a dual sword.

As a fist, it delivers a sincere punch and ignores defense. And wouldn’t there be internal penetration?

Just when I was already very disappointed that I couldn’t use my weapon, it turned out well.

If you fill it with romance like this, you won’t be defeated by the romance of lightsabers and double swords that you’ve encountered so far.

To be honest, I felt a little envious when I saw their romance!

―Kwasik!

I aim my fist in the air at the demon that fell to the floor.

I said I would only aim for the ax in the back as much as possible, but I guess it wasn’t perfect.

Because I inflicted as much damage to that devil and even smashed the axe.

I was thinking that this might need some further refinement.

To wrap things up, I’m going to release the sincere punch that I’ve only heard about in words to the world-

“Wait! wait for a sec! human! Wait a minute!!”

“… ?”

Deus couldn’t believe his eyes.

what. Wasn’t that guy turning into an axe earlier?

I crushed that ax, how can it be so fine?

ah. It looks like I have one more life. hmm. That’s also true.

Thinking this, Deus approached the man without hesitation.

It was all the more necessary to get rid of him because he was holding an unconscious woman in his arms.

“Wait a minute, human! Let’s talk for a moment!”

“In informal language?”

“Sorry! I’m begging you so desperately to stop!”

“… .”

Hey. Who says he’s not the devil? Look at his change of stance. It’s very authentic.

Deus let out a laugh and decided to listen for once.

Of course, the right hand hidden behind is still clenched into a fist.

If necessary, it would be possible to crush it to death.

“Please save me!”

… Did you tell me to stop because I was talking bullshit? What a fucking bastard.

It was the moment when I just took a step forward without hearing anything more.

“Just don’t just do this! The duke and Astaroth have not done anything since they came up here… .”

“Low?”

“I have never killed a single human being!”

huh? Deus tilted his head as if he was surprised at the man’s words.

I heard that contact with the Empire’s superpowers has been lost, and I even saw them trying to harm Neferti.

Are you asking me to believe that now? Do I really need to separate the limbs?

“Even that human woman from a while ago! Actually, he probably just scared me and saved my life.”

“For some reason, I am so sure.”

“He said it was troublesome to move, so he didn’t kill other humans, but just released his power and knocked them out. And he just accepted the attack in order to at least have a reason to move. Isn’t this a little bit trustworthy?”

After thinking for a moment, Deus smiled and opened his mouth.

“I’m going.”

“Then… !”

“So, I’ll let you go comfortably. Close your eyes and wait a moment. I will allow you to be reborn in a good place. This doesn’t hurt. It will all be over in a flash.”

The man is startled when he pulls out the fist he was hiding behind his belt.

Without any exaggeration, it is almost the size of my two hands combined.

Not only is it huge in size, but its power is also terrifying.

Having already been hit once, it feels even more real. That’s something I don’t want to hit again.

“Anything! Ask me anything!”

“Huh?”

“I will pay the price. Any information that could be worth the duke’s life!”

“… Oh?”

what. I thought it was just the second boss, but there was an explanation bug in between!

I almost killed him without even knowing it. I’m glad this guy opened up, even if it was too late.

“Hmm.”

I clear my throat slightly. You shouldn’t openly show that guy here that he has a way to live.

It is that side that we must be desperate for. You have to cling on with all your might and whine and cry for help. So, you have to show that you can stop listening and not listen.

“Astaroth. Peacock. Just by looking at her alone, she seems like an amazing woman. I don’t know how much information I have to spit out to get the value right.”

“… .”

At that moment, the man bit his lip without realizing it.

The word peacock is a low-class creature. No, I know humans are using it too.

However, I did not expect to know the exact identity of this person.

‘I can’t believe you know about Astaroth. ‘I can’t believe I’ve already heard that name.’

It is clear that the guy named Jagan said something useless right before he died.

okay. It will definitely happen. Otherwise, you won’t be able to know this accurately.

I wonder if this is why Astaroth voted against him when he was promoted to the vanguard.

Of course, from Deus’s perspective, it is strange not to know because it is such a widespread setting.

As a bonus, if Jagan, who is already dead, finds out what the man said, he will be very upset.

He didn’t say anything until right before he died, but isn’t there a needless misunderstanding?

“Let’s hear it first.”

Deus squats down and looks at the collapsed man in front of him.

“… .”

“… ?”

“… .”

“Over there. Asking what you are curious about.”

“Why do I ask?”

Even if I misunderstood something, I think I was very wrong.

“I don’t ask questions. I just listen to what you say.”

“… .”

They say I’m just strong. Peacock. What is this. Not at all?

I also know how to use my head. He’s even noticeably quick!

The man complained to Astaroth, who fainted in his arms.

If the other person had asked a question, it could have been cleverly avoided.

There was a possibility that while answering appropriately, the most important information would not be revealed.

But if this happens. If you have no idea what the other side wants.

I can’t gamble with Astaroth’s life as a hostage. Then, if that person’s insides were really twisted, it was obvious that he would turn to ashes and disappear in just one second.

“… first. This person.”

“This person?”

“… This devil. By human standards, this woman is Astaroth. As one of the Dukes of Hell, he carried Sloth. The duke here is, um. I’m just referring to strong people. There is nothing else unusual.”

I paused for a moment and looked at Deus’s gaze.

I’m listening carefully. Of course, the fist is still aiming this way.

“As you may have already learned while dealing with Jagan, we are the ones waiting beyond the door. We have gained energy by sending away the animals we have raised. Only by gathering this energy was it possible to construct a door that could withstand not only beasts but also demons.”

“I see.”

“Of course, this is energy, and it is also a door through which demons can come. It takes time because you can’t just use it and open it randomly.”

aha. It was that kind of setting. After being quiet for decades, the devil has finally come out.

Well, this is probably the only way to fill in the hole in the setting where the devil suddenly appears.

Deus nodded repeatedly and waited for the man’s next words.

“This is not the end. The invasion will continue, and in the end, the king will come.”

“… .”

“That, the king. Actually, I don’t know either.”

I don’t know? really? You don’t know, right?

“It’s true. Please believe me. Really.”

Raise your fist and say, ‘Are you sure you don’t know?’ Deus asks with his eyes.

The man was shocked and emphasized that he really, really knew nothing.

“The king’s identity is Astaroth… sorry. This woman doesn’t know either. You may be wondering if this makes sense, but this world is originally quite closed. Even if you are a frequent person, you only see each other once every few years, and if your relationship is not good, the default is not to see each other for 10 years.”

Deus was still swinging his fist around.

Should I kill you and that bitch? My eyes are rolling over and over right now. The man seemed to be saying, so he quickly added the next part.

“Still, demons will continue to come under the king’s orders. In the end, you can gather more energy and go all the way to the king.”

-humming! Boom!

“… Oh, there! Energy is all the negative emotions you get from opening the door. So far, we’ve unleashed the beasts to gather fear, despair, and much more. And then the demons will come out and try to collect more energy.”

Fortunately, after hearing that, Deus’s fist slows down.

Then, it soon returns to its original position.

“I’m just saying that because I’m really curious.”

“Tell me.”

“How can you believe this now? How can you guarantee that there will be lies in this?”

“This woman. Astaroth’s life is at stake. I do anything.”

“What on earth is this?”

“Because I am the one who made it a part of myself.”

hmm. Should I just think of it like that? Ego Sword? Oh, isn’t it a sword? Ego X?

It is a weapon that has an ego and can change form. Demons use really good things.

Some people would die of regret because they couldn’t use a weapon properly because of their oath.

Anyway, it was very satisfying content. This is some good information.

As I was fiddling with my chin, the man quietly opened his mouth.

“Well, this is enough. Is it possible to save my life once?”

Deus looked at the man and the woman named Astaroth for a moment.

Considering many aspects, it is actually most reasonable to just extract and remove the information.

Because promises are only kept by those who are qualified to keep them.

Unfortunately, there is no reason to protect it in the face of the devil.

However, if you look at it the other way. Also, this development is not entirely unfamiliar.

What if you are truly the type of person who does not kill? What if that’s all real information?

I don’t know if I will be rehabilitated, but even if I go back there, there is a high probability that I will be treated very poorly.

Afterwards, he said to the other demons, ‘There is one among you who betrayed to survive.’ He may shed a little light.

Not a firm ally, but an enemy of an enemy. No, just being neutral is beneficial to this side.

‘More than anything. ‘Because I said I would save your life.’

Romance is a law that must be kept. Even if there is a risk of being deceived.

Okay. Even if you cheat anyway. We’ll meet again later.

And at that time, it will be a second time and it will turn into a mess.

“A.”

I’ll give you my life.
