As with any game, most of the demons that appear in the abyss are named after real demons.
The status of demons appearing in the game was the same as that of real demons, and famous demons like Baal naturally boasted power commensurate with their fame.
Baal’s level is a whopping 120.
The demons guarding him are all level 90 or higher, and if just one of the guard demons descends into this world, the kingdom and empire will inevitably be destroyed.
Of course, if there is a 2nd part, inflation will occur, so it may be possible to defeat the escort demon somehow, but it is impossible for now.
I also didn’t have the confidence to face them unless I raised my level to at least 80.
But how on earth was Theresina able to obtain such devil genes?
“The lady may have lighter blood than a typical half-demon, but she clearly inherited his blood. As his servant and Count of Hell, I guarantee you.”
Prince spoke in a very serious voice, perhaps showing such doubts on his face.
There was anger mixed in his voice, and it was like he would have frowned if he had facial wrinkles.
Perhaps because it is related to the owner, even minor rudeness cannot be overlooked.
“I’m not doubting what you say. But if you become the king of the demon world, you need a huge amount of tribute just to summon him, right?”
“That’s right. To summon him in his perfect form, you would have to sacrifice at least an entire country.”
“I guess so. But there is no country that has disappeared now.”
Even if Theresina was good at recycling, she wouldn’t have been able to collect enough tribute to summon the Demon King.
What kind of trick did they use?
After a moment of silence, lost in those thoughts, Sarah, who had been quietly listening behind me, spoke.
“… Didn’t you just summon blood?”
“blood?”
“If you think the demon to be summoned is stronger than the contracted person, you can summon the demon by making it weaker than the original. If I apply that, wouldn’t I be able to summon only blood?”
Although it is an advanced skill, it is not that difficult for Terezina, who is an expert in summoning demons.
When I took a quick look at Prince, he gave an exclamation of admiration and nodded.
“Certainly, if you did that, you would have been able to summon a part of Baal with a relatively small offering. Human summoning technology has also advanced a lot.”
“… That person is special. I don’t want to admit it, but it’s no exaggeration to say that my talent for summoning is the best in this country.”
Regardless of his hatred for Terezina, Sarah seems to recognize that she has talent.
By the way, it’s Baal.
I had a vague idea that the devil living inside Sarah would be a powerful devil, but I never thought the name of such a big person would come out.
Sarah was a child with the king’s DNA.
For that reason, I think my original level was a little low, but I guess that’s because of the education.
It is common sense among common sense that is also mentioned in Geonsubakdo that a child with the DNA of a king should not be raised like an ordinary child.
“Sera was a royal blood. I feel sorry for being in one place like this.”
“Quit. What is the Homunculus’ Royal Blood? .”
“Princess Sera.”
“… … .”
When I jokingly called her that, Sarah frowned and rolled her eyes, as if the name was unpleasant.
I thought all women liked titles like princess, but that doesn’t seem to be the case with Sarah.
“You hate it that much?”
“… It’s cringy. The only people who like kids and such words are idiots who are not worthy of their age.”
“I think your sister will like it?”
“What did I just say?”
“Children or idiots not worthy of their age?”
“Okay. I’m not a nerd like that bitch, so don’t ever call me that again.”
Saying that, Sarah turned her head away.
When I saw her scared back as if a caterpillar had landed on her head, a naughty desire to play pranks began to sprout.
“My princess!!”
“… … !!”
For a moment, her body flinched as if she had been hit in the back of the head.
My body starts shaking.
I couldn’t tell whether it was trembling from cringe or from uncontrollable anger.
The only thing you can tell is that his face is so red that you can see it even from behind.
It was the first time in my life that I had seen a person so angry that his ears were turning red.
As my fists were threatening to fly at any moment, I hugged her from behind and blocked her movements.
“Now, it’s just a joke, so don’t get too angry… .”
“… Because I understand. Let go of this. It hurts.”
“… Ugh, yes.”
When I let go of my arms that were hugging Sarah, Sarah walked a few steps forward and sighed deeply.
The atmosphere is not good.
The atmosphere was worse than when I was a child and saw money being placed on top of the coffin at a funeral and made nonsense of whether it was New Year’s money.
At that time, I thought bowing was just a ritual for receiving pocket money, so I started talking nonsense like that without even realizing it.
Anyway, to lighten the awkward atmosphere a little, I cleared my throat slightly and asked Prince.
“I knew that Serah had such great devil’s blood mixed in her. Is there any way to awaken that blood?”
“… well. In the case of a half-demon, the devil’s blood is thick, so over time, they will naturally awaken to the devil’s power, but the young lady’s blood is lighter. Souls are needed to replenish this.”
“Soul?”
“The reason why the devil demands souls is not just because they are valuable. There are some demons that use necromancy, but most of them absorb souls and use them as their own power.”
“… So you’re saying that if I absorb someone else’s soul, my demonic powers might awaken?”
“There is a possibility. I also have academic curiosity about what will happen if the young lady awakens to her master’s power. In that sense, I will give this skill to you as a gift.”
When Prince lifted his leg, Sarah’s hand began to flash and a dark red imprint was engraved on it.
The strange engraving, which looked like a spider wearing a crown, gave off intense heat, but Sarah only frowned as if there was no direct pain.
“This is a skill that absorbs souls. If the young lady wakes up to her master’s blood, she will surely become a powerful demon whom a lowly mortal cannot even dare to make eye contact with. Prince Lee prays earnestly for that day to come and he will now take his leave. But before that… .”
Prince turns his head and looks at me.
Suddenly, eight red eyes turned towards me, and I tilted my head to face him.
“… I don’t know if you can call me your husband, but anyway, if you wake up and see your arms and legs tied or see an iron cage, just think that something is coming.”
“What?”
“Okay then… .”
With those words, Prince’s body turned into fog and began to disperse.
What did that kid just say?
“Sera, what did that guy just say?”
“… … .”
“Sera?”
*****
“How about it? Do you think you can eat it?”
The first thing we checked after coming up from the basement was whether the soul had been absorbed.
I received a soul absorption skill from Prince, but I did not check how it works or what souls it can absorb.
For example, can you only absorb enemies you directly kill?
Is it possible to absorb only the souls of dead humans within a certain amount of time?
If you summon the Prince again, it’s fun to find out things that can be easily learned for yourself.
Sarah didn’t seem to understand the fun, but she went along with my entertainment.
Since all the souls near the academy were recovered by the gremlin, after wandering around for a while, I finally found the soul that the gremlin had missed.
Considering that it was near the dormitory, it was probably the spirit of a commoner student, but whose spirit it was was unknown.
Because the soul doesn’t have a face.
No, even if it was there, wouldn’t you be able to recognize it anyway?
“Hmm… .”
Sera held the soul with her engraved right hand, looked at it in silence for a moment, and then began to swallow it.
The soul that entered her mouth melted into her body with a desperate, death-like scream.
Just as a bird learns how to fly on its own without having to learn from anyone, Sarah learned how to absorb souls without having to learn from anyone.
Sarah, who swallowed her soul, repeatedly clenched and unclenched her hand, assessing her strength.
What can we know from that?
“How are you feeling?”
“… I do not know. It seems like I’ve gotten a little stronger. It seems like it’s just the same.”
“I only ate one thing. And since the level is low, it probably won’t have much effect. But can you also eat the soul of a monster?”
“Perhaps it will work. If it is the soul of a powerful monster, the devil may accept it as an offering.”
“Well… . But how did it taste?”
“… Umm. Jelly with no taste?”
“There is no particular taste. The texture is jelly… .”
I never thought the day would come when I would hear stories about eating souls.
If it is valuable, it is a valuable experience.
“Then, shall we go out now?”
Since the Academy would not be able to obtain any more souls, it was time to move to Earth, where devil worshipers were rampaging.
Since the academy was quite far away from the district rampaged by devil worshipers, no matter how many gremlins there were, there would not have been enough time to move the bodies all the way here.
‘… And I’m also worried about that explosion.’
Since a new event has already occurred several times before, we cannot be optimistic about this incident either.
I was about to move to the common people district first in anticipation of a new event.
“Earthquake?!”
As a huge tremor shook the world, enough for those words to come out without thinking, we momentarily lost our balance and stumbled.
After a while, when the shaking stopped and I could barely distinguish the world, an incomparable amount of dust began to rise in the distance in the direction of Noble Street.
