The saint said.

“I do not presumptuously pray that I can live comfortably in the life that the Lord has given me. However, I just hope that you will give me the will to overcome adversity and hardship.”

“What kind of ghost talk are you talking about? The former is what everyone wants. I ask you to be wealthy and healthy. Humans always pray to God for these two things.”

“Isn’t a life that overcomes adversity and pursues inner growth a truly healthy life?”

“… I don’t understand.”

I want an easy life. Also, I hope you have a happy life. It can be seen that she stands at the antithesis of a saint.

But I like saints. I love you, I love you. Thanks to her existence, or rather the future in which she will exist, I become complete.

Saint. That two-syllable short word is my reverence, respect, ideal, and goal. When I see someone like a saint, I have a crazy desire to turn them into evil like myself. On the one hand, I want to be influenced by her, but I lose.

That is why the saint makes me complete.

In the past, or rather, in the future, there is a being similar to a saint. A hero of justice who will never exist again in the world. The hero almost made me whole, but eventually gave in.

In my past life, I spent dozens of years successfully corrupting her, and I felt joy that I would never experience again in my life, endless futility, and a sense of helplessness.

Will I be able to corrupt the saint in this life like that hero, or will I be reformed like she said? I don’t know. You can find out if you go to Eden Academy, where the saintess told you to come.

500 years, I can’t wait. I hope Eden Academy is established soon and we can have fun playing with God’s daughter.

Until the day when I am reunited with the saint, all I can do is create a playground. A playground called the continent where you can run and play with the saint. Along with this, there is also a bit of personal revenge.

square-.

Super experts who have reached a certain level regardless of race, gender, age, or level.

Monsters that make the earth tremble when they stamp their feet, split the sea when they use sword techniques, and distort space when they use magic.

Transcendent people who were born as mere mortals and have stepped into the realm of gods.

Such people are called ‘absolutely strong’ in the world.

There are not many creatures across all dimensions that are considered absolute powerhouses. The five kings, archangels, great demons, and saints who lived in the demonic forest and were with me until the end?

Of course, other than the monsters listed now, there are many hidden absolute powerhouses in the world. Like the Demon King or the Four Dukes of the Demon World. Theseus, the god-slayer who escorted me from the Tower of Babel to the guillotine in my past life, was also an absolute powerhouse.

The absolute strongest are monsters whose every single one is comparable to a nation. If you do it well, you can go to war with the world alone.

This is not mulberry-drunk nonsense. There was one such being in ancient times. An absolute powerhouse who went around the world and caused terrorism through guerrilla operations, and ultimately brought an end to a civilization alone.

And, the person I am trying to impersonate is also an absolute powerhouse.

Not now, but in the distant future. I’m impersonating Lilith, who will become the Grand Duke of the Western Demon World. In his previous life, he visited Tartarus and was distraught when he heard that the saint was dying. Our clumsy devil.

square-.

Write black letters with a thin fountain pen. It is not written in one go like in one stroke. Because I’m writing slowly and painstakingly to imitate the girl’s handwriting.

I like beautiful things. Of course, I also like artistic things. When I write, I prefer to write neatly. But art is inherently subjective, so other people don’t really understand my tastes.

I’m writing pretty enough. These foolish guys are caught up in the narrow-minded views set by society.

The recipient of the letter is my eldest brother, Letavis. I plan to write a letter to my second brother, Leonard, later.

“Dear… To Letavis Lucifer, Grand Duke of the Lucifer House, Duke of the North… .”

Unlike my usual self, I put a lot of softness into each and every word. Letavis and Leonard will see her and mistake her for the green young succubus of the Duke of the West.

At this point, Lilith is not yet an adult. Because I, the Demon King, and Lilith are the same age. However, since Lilith is also a descendant of the same elite family as the Demon Lord Nana, the Western Duke Klana, she has been a famous figure in the demon world since she was young.

“I, Lilith Klanine… for a long time… I’ve heard rumors about you and secretly admired you… So… … .”

square-.

And high-ranking families in the demon world enjoy marrying families of the same level. Of course, it is not for reasons that are uncharacteristic of demons, such as alliances, but because doing so increases the probability of a strong individual being born.

The two noblemen of the Northern Dukedom and the beautiful noblewoman of the Western Dukedom, even Lilith, are famous for their talent as the strongest succubus of all time and their beauty that can make a wyvern fall. This one letter will shake the hearts of two energetic young demons.

After the letter, I am already starting to get excited as I think about the older brothers who are excited without even dreaming that their youngest sibling will be there. I can’t wait to shatter their expectations.

“May we fellowship together and strengthen harmony… I hope so… . If you are willing to accept my heart… To the cliffs of Endros tonight… Please come alone… … .”

The letter is finished. I didn’t really like the neat, clear handwriting, but if you look at it from the perspective that it copied Lilith’s handwriting, it was the perfect false letter.

Knock, knock, knock.

The letter was sealed with glue. Then, the same letter is copied by hand without any errors. The sender remains the same, only the recipient has been changed.

This is a book of life and death for two that I wrote. A letter that announces the end to the fate of two demons. Joker’s death sentence with no one remembering him.

It’s a crude preparation that can be completed in a few minutes at most, but it’s enough. When hunting wild cats, all you need is a hunting trap.

Still, you may think that this is too lax, considering that you are capturing the eldest son and second son of the highest ranking family in the Demon World. However, from another perspective, being a child of a high-ranking family is like being a flower in a greenhouse.

Letavis is twenty years old, and Leonard is ten years old. By that time, the lower-level demons of that age had already entered into a competition for survival, and after a bloody battle between life and death with the demon beasts, they took food. Even there are quite a few times when they are exploited by demons stronger than themselves.

On the other hand, Letavis and Leonard are beginners in combat who have no experience in combat. They may have had a bit of sparring with their brothers and family members, but survival duels at the risk of their lives are not in their vocabulary.

Of course, even high-ranking demons naturally become stronger as they age. The talent given by their lineage, the magic accumulated through generous support, and the skills passed down from generation to generation make them invincible. Adding to that experience was my eldest sister, Adela.

However, not yet. Letavis and Leonard are still just gentle sheep who have been cared for within the protective shelter of the Northern Dukedom. In fact, in their previous lives, they went to the Demon Forest for training about five weeks from now and met their ends side by side.

This is also why I rushed to work immediately after receiving information from King. Because I don’t want to lose a player by dilly-dallying. In this life, no matter what happens, I will suffocate Letavis and Leonard with my own hands.

Even on the subsequent journey to the Masurin… This time, I want to go instead of them, hehehe.

“Now, Dugi. good. Please let my eldest brother and second brother know my intentions.”

A letter delivery pigeon, a letter to Letavis, was tightly tied to Jeon Seo-gu’s ankle. I similarly tied up a letter to another Jeon Seo-gu to go to Leonard. Immediately after hitting their butts with a thud, the two Jeonseogu flew up with great force and sneaked into the red sky of the demon world.

There are monsters floating in the sky of the Demon World that dominate the sky. Each one of them is a guy who can show off on the continent, and even guys like Black Wyvern are just random guys in the sky of the demon world.

The fragile Jeon Seo-gu breaks through the enormous sky of the demon world with their own strangely excellent luck.

This is truly amazing. It’s probably not something that was promised or decided, so how come most monsters let Jeon Seo-gu go without being hostile to them? Well, thanks to that, pigeons, among many other birds, are able to play the role of a global bird.

While staring at the back of Jeon Seo-gu, which was flying freely, I took out the Egg of Horus that I had previously received from Adela. A semicircular sphere emitting brilliant colors reveals its majesty to the world.

Who is Horus? He is one of the Five Kings, the five strongest demon beasts that rule the demon forest, and is the protagonist of a legendary saga in which he rips out the demon’s eyes and makes them shed bloody tears.

An absolute figure in the sky who reigns supreme in the sky of the Demon World, and that no demonic beast can dare to touch. That is Horus, the King of Dragons.

And, what is in front of me right now is the egg where the child of such a monster is sleeping. of course! Right now, it’s not even close to a handful of fried food for me! Tsk tsk tsk!

In the future… Are there ten hours left? Until nightfall?

Considering the time it takes to get to the cliffs of Endros, which will be the tombs of Letavis and Leonard, I have about eight hours left.

You must completely absorb the Egg of Horus within it and cleanse your energy and blood. We also need to prepare a few other things.

If I had a gun, things would have been easier, but it was a shame.

Although I am glad to use a knife because it feels good to use, I am a little demon who is not yet ten years old. I don’t want to do anything I’m not sure about.

“Still, it’s fun to be on the edge.”

Thinking of a psychological victory, I quietly left the room and headed to the kitchen. To cook Horus’ egg so it’s easy to eat, and prepare the ‘stage’ for tonight.

I didn’t forget to put the saint’s rosary in my pocket with my gloved hand.

*****

“Oscar… ! You bastard that will tear you to death… !”

Leonard, the second son of the Northern Duke of Demon World, ground his teeth, unable to hold back his boiling anger.

Pudduk-.

The sharp molars that are unique to demons mesh together, creating a friction sound like gears turning. The flaw was that the gears were somehow misaligned.

Throbbing-.

Leonard covered his gums with his palm as he felt the pain in his teeth. Just yesterday, he was assaulted by his younger brother, Oscar Lucifer, and his teeth were cracked.

For a demon with a vitality that was both amazing and repulsive, that level of injury was not a big problem, but it was enough to offend them.

“A lowly scum from birth… ! Damn, on the topic… !”

However, for Leonard, the fact that he was beaten by Oscar without even being able to properly resist was extremely annoying. No, it was more than just annoying, it was humiliating.

Although he is still only ten years old, he will one day become the Grand Duke of the North after eating the adult Letavis. Being beaten by my younger brother, who was only nine years old at most, was a humiliation I didn’t want to even think about.

‘What on earth did he do… ? Until the day before yesterday, this guy was helplessly beating me up… !’

Anger paralyzes reason. Instead, it causes emotions to run wild. Leonard’s condition was exactly like that right now.

An uncontrollable feeling of death surges forth. The humiliation that comes from being trampled by someone who looked down on you, the shame of wanting to forget that memory, and the ugly desire for revenge derived from the twisting of a relationship that should have been clear between superiors and subordinates.

All of that colored Leonard’s reason with violence.

‘Clearly, some cowardly move was used… ! Isn’t this a guy who is addicted to acid poison and can’t even use magical powers…? … !’

Memories of the previous day eat away at Leonard. A powerful flying club hits Leonard. It is a club that neither contains great power nor has speed that is invisible to the eye. However, Leonard was unable to block a single rain of clubs.

All of his movements were read, and except for one lucky blow that hit the top of his head, he was helplessly beaten. Like Cerberus being beaten before climbing into the pot on the dog days. Of course, Leonard, with his strong pride, could not admit that.

Besides, he believed that it was luck that Oscar beat him. It was a conclusion reached by judgment clouded by paralyzed reason.

“ is such a bastard… ! Later, when I became an adult, I tried to kill him slowly, but he was urging me to do so… !”

Every time his teeth moved, a throbbing pain came over Leonard. The murderous intent grew like a rolling snowball.

In the demon world, killing young demons is strictly prohibited. This is because in the past, adult demons often killed young demons because they were a race with a strong competitive spirit and ambition, and had a long lifespan. They are concerned that their safety will be undermined as they grow up.

Naturally, the population of demons decreased, and the demons were weighed down by the crisis of the apocalypse they had brought upon themselves. In the end, the lesser demons set forth a strict rule, which was that demons in their infancy and adolescence must be protected unconditionally.

I couldn’t control myself from starving to death or getting sick. However, a decree was issued that absolutely prohibited intentional killings and that violators would be punished with life imprisonment.

For demons who were already warlike by nature, this was a more terrible treatment than rotting in prison for thousands of years.

Of course, this also applies to killings between young demons. Because a certain talented demon can keep his rival in check and kill all his peers in the demon world. This is also the law that allowed Oscar, who had no backing, to survive until now.

Of course, all laws in this world have one immutable law. If it is not caught right away, it has no effect.

“Let’s kill him by accident soon… It would be a good idea to disguise it as food poisoning and poison them… Whatever it is, I’ll kill you sooner or later… … !”

The perfect crime is innocence. Leonard was thinking of a plan to deal with Oscar using that classic and famous law.

Tok tok tok-.

It was at that moment that I heard something blunt and hard hitting the window.
