Eventually, I became stronger. So much so that no one can look at it carelessly. I am an entity where almost anything is possible.

But why?

Why am I shrinking now?

The overwhelming sense of coercion pouring over my entire body is so great that it is frightening. A couple of red abyss eyes looking at me. A freezing reaction occurs at that gaze. I’m not the type of person who will go anywhere and be treated like a prey.

I sighed and put a smile on my face.

“ Hey, who is this?”

“… .”

“Canos. No, Demon King. Long time no see?”

Anyway, in the current situation, the devil holds the power over my life and death. There is a saying that you can’t spit on someone who laughs, so you can’t hit them carelessly.

My target in this life is the Demon King Kanos. But we can’t win yet. This is true even if Metatron has been absorbed.

The energy could not be fully absorbed and purified, and more than anything, there were ‘two’ opportunities left for predation. The only time I compete with the Demon King is after I have fully used both of them.

In other words, it is a great fortune that there are two beings left to prey on.

“Oscar.”

The black coat stretches out refreshingly. A tall, slender black-haired woman. She is wearing black sunglasses and boldly revealing her red horns.

I think I spent a longer period of time in the male body in my previous life, but in this life, I was obsessed with the female body. It doesn’t matter. Because that guy is a guy who transcends gender distinction.

“What are you doing?”

“Hmm?”

“You have no reason to care about the Demon World.”

Kanos said in a cold voice. Authority and dignity permeate throughout the tone. It is an aura that has been present since birth.

Indeed, it is a great and supreme being.

But what does that mean?

Why does it feel like Kanos is scolding me?

“I know that you don’t have much time.”

“What are you saying?”

“… Am I not ready?”

What does all that mean? You don’t have much time?

“Did you do this? This bright and dazzling sun.”

“Yes, I did it.”

“Well done. I never thought you were kind enough to care about demons.”

“You shouldn’t let your nerves go to the wrong place.”

“He’s unusually kind.”

“… Is that all there is to say?”

Why, then what should I say? If I just ask you to send it to me, will you send it to me?

I don’t know. There isn’t much we can guess about Kanos.

I’m pretty sure he regressed me, but there’s something… There are so many things shrouded in unknowns. Kanos is that kind of being. Predicting accidents is not easy.

I wondered if it was related to Frey, but I was sure it wasn’t Maria.

“Go.”

The Demon King muttered. For a moment, I couldn’t believe my ears.

“Hmm?”

“This means let’s go. Go on your way.”

“What kind of nonsense is this?”

“… I was chased a lot. However, it is still a time when growth is needed. Make the most of the opportunity given to you.”

It was an unbelievable statement. At this point, if I were to become a demon lord, there would be no way for me to know what I had done. Especially since it was such a big deal.

He was probably looking at us from somewhere with his 10,000-eyes, which are much more sensual than the clairvoyant’s eyes. Of course, you saw me feasting on Metatron’s soul, but you let me go without causing any harm?

I feel like I want to pour out a bunch of questions, but if I do that and the devil’s temper is upset for no reason, it’s over. I kept my mouth shut and remained silent.

The Demon King waved his jade-like hand. A hand gesture that is as white as an angel, yet somehow feels foreign. Eerily pale and hazy hands.

Space is carved according to the movement of the hand. Similar to what I did a little while ago. But there are subtle differences. Softer, more natural, more noble.

This is because the Demon World is entirely his domain.

Through a mysterious principle, the door to the dimension opens. A gate with a rainbow of seven colors shining brightly. Unlike the ‘gap’ I opened, that is a real exhaust door.

A trick that only the ‘master’ of this world can pull off.

The Demon King gestured a second time. My body floated up and was sucked into the portal. It was a trend that could have been rejected, but I didn’t.

I don’t sense any impure intentions. I rode the flowing air current. It seems like what you want to send is sincere.

I still don’t know why. What the Demon King knows, what he cares about, and what he has in mind are all unknown.

“When the time comes, come to the Demon King’s Castle.”

When his sense of balance began to fade due to the spinning portal, he spoke.

It was a word engraved in my consciousness. It’s several levels more heartbreaking than Jack’s Hye-Gwang Sim. It seems as if orders are being forcibly injected into one’s mind.

“I will welcome you with wide open arms.”

How would it feel to be held in the arms of the devil and fawned over him? With some strange delusions, I returned to the continent.

A strong sense of stability is conveyed to your feet when you step on the ground. The mountains, streams, and vegetation on the green earth are beautiful. A refreshing breeze passes by my cheek.

It is a continent.

A land enjoyed by humans, elves, dwarves, dragons, and countless beasts. A paradise of plants and animals flowing with milk and honey.

Passu-.

Chaos mode, which has run out of time, is also slowly starting to crumble. The body shrinks back to its original state. The height of a tall man who easily exceeded 3 meters has returned to his original height. The air is knocked out of the muscles that were tense enough to tear one’s clothes. The white mask separated from the body falls to the ground.

It became humanoid again.

The sense of power that made me feel like I could do anything disappeared. The power absorbed from Metatron still remains. It is certain that he has become much stronger than before.

I feel like I’ve been through a violent storm. It felt like a fierce wind had swept me away.

Everything else went as planned, but I never thought I would encounter the devil. I’m glad I’m alive.

I was able to clearly measure the distance between me and the Demon King. Nothing changes. In the future, I will absorb two more beings and have the full power to face the Demon King. And I will tighten the devil’s neck.

“Umm… .”

A faint moaning sound comes from the human body held in one’s arms.

It was Beatrice. She is a trustworthy crusader who always makes you want to have your back, but there is no other woman as frail as she is now as she shrinks from her injuries.

“Master… ?”

“You’re awake.”

“Ugh… How could this be… Why am I in my master’s arms… .”

“When you wake up, keep your balance and stand up. Because Kyeong’s body is completely normal now.”

He placed Beatrice on the ground with Aru, who was still unconscious, on his side. She hesitated and stood with her soles touching the ground. Beatrice, as a woman born as a saint, quickly regained her sense of balance.

“Is your lord safe?”

Even though I had just come to my senses, Beatrice took the initiative to ask how I was doing. Is it because of my last memory before I collapsed?

“Yes, as you can see.”

“What happened to him?”

“If it were him?”

“That… A woman with thirty-six wings and a white spear. If what I know is correct, if what is written in the Bible is correct, then the great archangel called ‘Metatron’… .”

“died. I killed him.”

“… !”

Beatrice’s brown eyes brightened. Wow, is it really that shocking? Who am I?

“Uh, how… .”

“Even if the sky falls, there is a hole that will rise up. I just worked hard to find a hole.”

“You are truly amazing. That Metatron.”

“I accept compliments gratefully. Oh, by the way, take this.”

I handed over Aru, who was sleeping in Beatrice’s arms. Is it because of the aftereffects of the shock from Metatron, or is it just because I sleep more than Beatrice? Aru was still sleeping peacefully.

“Take him to the meeting point. I’ll be going soon too.”

“Yes, but… .”

“Do you have something to say?”

Beatrice, carrying Aru on her back, said awkwardly.

“Before Soin lost his mind… Have you ever shouted something?”

uh.

“What, what? I remember… .”

“Ugh… So, as long as you survive, you will be granted one wish… .”

I remember that. Oh, I like your hair too.

If I had forgotten, I would have pretended not to notice. Now that I’ve remembered it, I can’t just ignore it. I must grant Beatrice’s one wish. Because that’s what a magician is.

“That’s right. But later. I have somewhere to go now.”

“Yes.”

“Kyung, hurry and go to the meeting point. Can you hear Merlin’s voice echoing through the mountains? You can go to the parking lot at the bottom of the mountain.”

“honorary name.”

Beatrice bowed to me and jumped high in the sky. Since they don’t know their location right now, they seem to be trying to calculate the direction first.

After shaking my head for a moment, I walked away, condensing the space.

I think I walked about three steps. In front of me was an old man, three girls in his arms, and two bachelorettes draped over his shoulders.

“Student?”

“John! He was alive!”

“Evans… I think this incident needs some explanation.”

“Your Majesty, you didn’t faint at all?”

John, the human king, whom I had instructed to take refuge in advance before the duel with Metatron began. Princess Albrecht, Saint Maria, and warrior Frey. And Maria’s bodyguards, the holy knights Celt and Emelia.

I see something I can’t see here… The commander of the Imperial Knights must have been caught up in a fight and died. Well, I can’t help it.
