9th Circle Lord

94 #94화 The Assn.

The devil stuck out a parchment.

The parchment looked like a map, with red spots everywhere.

He explained.

"The red dot marks their location. Wipe it off based on this."

The expression of the talking devil is cold.

Luther asked.

"Why do you want to summon the beast of Naxanor?"

"You're trying to sabotage me. There's nothing else, right?”

Luther wondered.

It is a different flow from one's past.

Perhaps the disappearance of Georges had an impact.

"Take this opportunity to wipe it out."

I felt disappointment and anger at the renegade subordinates who took issue.

"Okay."

"I'll watch."

When the devil returned, Luther found the renegade whose distance on the map was closest.

It was the Kingdom of Elverine, southeast of the Basco Empire.

The Kingdom of Elverine was one of the members of the Allied Powers at odds with the Empire.

One is currently in a state of truce.

The empire regarded the emperor's illness as a surprise attack by outside invasion, and did not start a war for internal inspection.

The lull naturally led to a truce.

However, the conflict was not completely resolved, so the border was currently closed.

Luther tried to leave alone, but he decided to accompany Kiara.

I promised to take care of you from now on, but I didn't mean to ignore you.

However, the refractors who had to face him were not harmful to him, but Kiara was overwhelming.

Before he left, Luther was very nervous.

"You'll have to deal with a strong opponent in the future, so you should never fight alone. You can tell from the combat power of the main window, but it's higher than you."

"I won't overdo it."

Kiara was happy just to travel alone.

They agreed to cover their faces because they don't want to disguise themselves.

The hooded couple teleported to the red spot of the Elverine through the map of the devil.

The capital of the Elverine Kingdom.

Luther's expression of alternating between the palace and the map is strange.

"Not a temple."

I thought the temple would be collecting Ener, but it was surprising.

Luther recalled the diplomatic relations of Elverine.

a Philoic cult that worships the earth

As a characteristic of the church, most of the temple's surroundings were farmland or fields.

"You're the one who's going to face you, Philoah.”

asked Kiara.

"The king's men are in the temple, but why is he in the palace?”

"I think I've abandoned the supply of Ener for the king. Maybe he's trying to build up his power in a different way."

People's energe is collected only when they are in the temple. 

That's the devil's strategy.

But Philoa was in the palace, not in the temple.

I needed a detailed inside story.

Luther wandered around the capital with Kiara.

However, there were not one or two suspicious things.

Smoke rises everywhere.

It wasn't a fire.

They are smoking herbs containing drug ingredients while rolling around the grass.

In addition, everyone passing by has a drug candle in their hands.

Kiara pointed at them.

"What are you doing?”

I was curious about the first sight I saw.

Luther answered with a stiff face.

"I'm on drugs."

"What's the drug?"

Smoking hallucinating herbs by burning them is called drugs. I don't know why you're doing drugs when it's illegal."

It wasn't the only one.

Regardless of age or gender, they are clinging to each other and making love.

But the love made my eyes frown whenever I looked closer to the lust.

Kiara's cheeks were recalled, and Luther's expression subsided.

A security guard passed by their side just in time.

While patrolling, they looked suspiciously at the two.

You can't just see people walking around with their faces hidden.

"There two people. Stop."

One of the guards caught Luther and Kiara.

Luther, who took off his hood, made eye contact with the security guard.

The eyes of the enchanted guard were loosened.

Luther injected his image into the guard.

The guards came to their senses.

Not long ago, the face and Luther of the superior who left for reconnaissance outside looked overlapped.

"Leader, you're here now.”

Luther, who saw a happy face, nodded and asked.

"How are you?"

"Yes, you're back after a long time.”

"That's what it is. By the way, how's the security of the capital these days?" 

"Peaceful except for petty thieves."

"Peaceful?"

There are drug dealers everywhere, but the guards say it's peaceful.

I thought it was weird, so Luther asked more. 

The conversation changed the subject.

"So, is there any news from the palace these days?"

"News?"

"Whether the king had an concubine or a quarrel between the nobles.""Why are you suddenly curious about that?"

"It's been a long time since I left the capital, so I've been treated like an old man everywhere. Don't they tell you to go after the palace to keep up with the trend?”

"Oh, I see.”

A simple laughing guard made a suggestion

"I heard that the King has been holding proms a lot lately, so why don't you join them?"

"Is it a dance party?"

"They say they don't want to do it every day. According to what I hear these days, it's not a matter of getting a seat when you attend a ball. It's a no-brainer for soldiers like us, but the captain of the guard is a nobleman, so let's go see if you want to keep up with the trend."

"Really? Thanks for letting me know. I'll buy you a drink later."

"I made a promise.

The guard left, and Luther looked around and muttered.

"A petty thief...".”

He stood around the street and looked around.

Poor-looking people are sitting on the street, and the number was quite large.

In addition, he was addicted to drugs, not poverty, and could not control himself.

Kiara said,

"Something's weird."

"What a mess in the country. Something serious must have happened."

Luther tilted his head while he was talking.

In the past, the Kingdom of Elverine during this period was blessed by King Elverine IV, called the Holy Army.

But now the country is impoverished.

In other words, he/she said everything if there are a lot of addicts everywhere.

Luther knew the man who made things this way.

"Let's go to the palace."

Philoa is playing tricks.

Luther moved to the Elverine Palace to stop Philoa from summoning the beast.

Luther and Kiara waited for the carriage to the palace.

Just in time, the Sadumacha comes strong. Luther stood in front of it.

The carriage stopped and the demonman swung the whip while biting the drug candle.

"Get out of my way!"

Luther didn't move.

After catching the whip, he pulled it as it was.

"Oh, my!"

The fallen demonman screamed loudly.

"This guy's got a man!"

The door of the carriage opened and a middle-aged man with a bulging belly appeared.

"What's going on?"

Luther looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's face became blank.

Luther, who turned an unknown aristocrat into a puppet, gestured to Kiara, who was watching from behind.

When the owner didn't move like a statue, the demonman turned around and ran.

Luther reached out.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

The demonman, who was forcibly caught, screamed.

Luther made eye contact.

"We need a demonman to start the carriage."

After making it into a puppet, he asked a question.

"Who are you?"

"This is Baron Gallas."

"Why go to the palace?"

"To participate in the dance."

"You're having a ball in broad daylight?"

Luther was curious, but he thought it worked out just in time.

"Let's go to the ball, too."

"What about the beast?"

"Maybe there."

The dot on the map was too large to know the exact location.

In the end, they have no choice but to find it themselves.

In order to do so, one must use the status of an aristocrat.

The two got on the wagon, and the demonman and the noble, who became puppets, obediently followed Luther's instructions.

The carriage arrived at the entrance of the palace.

The demonman said with a blank face.

"This is Baron Gallas' carriage."

"Pass."

The knight let them through without any inspection.

No matter how hard it is, it's too easy to check the royal palace where the king is.

Luther looked at the knights.

He is either slaying with a relaxed face or staring blankly at the air.

It is a characteristic of people who are addicted to drugs.

As expected, there is a drug candle between the fingers.

Drugs spread widely.

This is a dangerous situation that could lead to the overthrow of the country.

What the hell happened?

After moving to the ball, Kiara and Luther entered the ball.

As expected, there was no one to stop or block anyone.

When I went inside, I saw people talking and laughing excitedly with the sound of music.

Smoke is spreading through the people and everyone is smiling helplessly with a drunk face.

Luther, who was going down the stairs, said to Kiara.

"He who has remarkable combat power is the devil."

"Okay."

Kiara gave her eyes strength and began to look everywhere.

Luther looked at the head of the table.

A half-white old man wearing a crown was muttering something with his back bent.

The king was clear without raising his face.

What the hell is going on here?’

The drug cart was released, and people were poisoned. It was not the former Elverine kingdom that he knew.

Let's wait and see for now.The king, who was watching, stiffened alone by those who were excited, jumped up.

"He's coming. Welcome."

"Wow!"

"He's coming!"

The people cheered.

After a while, a woman came down the stairs.

Luther looked at the woman.

She was a seductive woman wearing a red dress.

Kiara said urgently.

"Strong! That's him!"

The combat capability reaches 4 million.

Luther whispered softly.

"Let's wait and see what we're up to."

I was curious about the intention of making people addicted to drugs.

Philoa opened his arms.

"Bow with joy and accept the blessing. Let's all go to the world of pleasure with me!"

Red air flows everywhere from her body.

And the eyes of those who touched the current filled with lust, took off their clothes and began to get tangled.

Luther opened the shield to shake off Kiara and the atmosphere that approached him.

Luther noticed the air she was spraying.

His eyes turned cold.

'The power of darkness.'

The demon king's men do not use the power of darkness, even if they are apostates.

I've already seen everything.

Luther approached Philoa past the people who cried out at the groans of desire.

Philoa stared at Luther with a scratch.

Luther asked.

"Where is the enchantment of the summoning Naksanor?"

Philoa's eyes shook and shouted sharply.

"You are the devil's servant!"

It seems that even the renegades are called the devil. said Luther.

"Where did you hide the beast? Where is he?"

"Hhhhh! You will never catch us."

Philoa's body became blurred.

As he tried to disappear, Kiara swung the sword.

Kwa-Ga-Gang-ga-gang!

Orr split up, but she was still smiling.

Luther stopped Kiara.

"Welcome. There's nothing to do.”

"Welcome?"

"Okay, this is a big deal. I thought Philoah was acting funny, but that's not it. I've already summoned Naksanor's demon.”

Before I knew it, Philoa disappeared, and the people who were entangled in the groans died one by one.

Luther carefully remembered Philoa's process of extorting people's desires.

"What are you going to do now?”

"We'll catch them both. Both Philoa and the Naksanor she summoned."

Naksanor's spell deals with desire.

Although it now exerts influence on the capital of Elverine, it will soon exert its influence on the entire continent.

"You've caused real trouble.”

The devil was not angry for no reason.

The renegades summoned the beast.

Luther frowned as if he was annoyed by the fact that he had to take care of him.
