TVOTP - Chapter 164



The terrible stench they gave off was so terrible that it was incomparable to that of ordinary monsters, and even Rudnine froze.

Duke Argenthoz, who was barely able to sit at the main gate of the Verbent Palace, supported by Count Ollit, also froze at the sight.

“Is that... a devil? Lord of the Tower?”

“I guess so.”

The Duke closed his eyes tightly.

'Is it over now?'

Where are my daughter and son? I wish I could have seen their faces on my last journey.

As Duke Argenthoz hung his head in despair, even Count Ollit, who was always innocent and positive, sighed as if he had given up on everything.

Meanwhile, Toylat, who had stolen Empress Giselle just before she died and eaten her as a sacrifice, finally finished his appearance and smiled.

He was so impressed by the red hair and white skin of the girl Giselle that he took on that appearance.

And it spread out its four large, shiny black wings.

Toylat, flapping its wings and flying up, muttered irritably.

"1st Corps Commander. Why bother stopping me! It's only a matter of time before this happens anyway."

The reason he couldn't manifest quickly despite having a great interest in the human world for a long time was because of the First Legion Commander of Hell, the Archdemon Promethea.

The extremely old-fashioned and strict archdemon often nags him not to do useless things, saying that he must follow the rule that archdemons cannot go to the human world.

But even if Promethea is a great demon of a higher rank than him, there is now no way to stop him directly.

“Hahaha! Here we go, slaughter them all!”

Toylat, who had been laughing so hard his mouth was torn open, suddenly lost his smile when something flashed before his eyes.

Rumble, bang, bang.

Kwajijijik― Hwaruk!

A bright blue flame burned fiercely in the sky, and a loud noise echoed.

His demonic minions, who were preparing to attack in the air, suddenly turned to black ash and disappeared...

With just one fire spell.

'What is this...? Who the hell is this?!'

Toylet, frozen like a statue in the face of an unbelievable reality, felt a sharp pain in his leg and suddenly came to his senses.

At some point, a black-haired human sword master who had been below rushed in and attacked with an aura.

The Great Demon Toylat was amazing.

“How dare you, human!”

Even though he changed his appearance to resemble that of a human, Giselle, his true form was that of a powerful great demon.

But how can you hurt and cause pain to me like that?!

That sword master is no ordinary human.

Toylat, who was growing anxious, reached out and showered him with black lightning.

“Do not disturb.”

A house surrounded by four walls.

Rudnine gritted his teeth as he watched the savage black lightning falling down, aiming for him.

No matter where he went, there was nowhere to escape. Again, he decided to hold out, defending with aura as much as possible.

A blue aura rose from his body as he knelt and bowed.

Rudnine bit his lip so hard it bled, willingly blocking the lightning bolt of the great demon crashing down on him.

The Auror barrier was on the verge of collapse, but he persevered.

In the end, when Rudnine, who had survived, glared at him while breathing heavily, Toylat frowned.

Even when you were fighting Giselle earlier, you seemed crazy!

Toilat realized that if he didn't kill him quickly, he would be a real threat.

'When you're tired, just cut off the neck.'

Toylat summoned a pitch-black scythe of darkness, abandoned in a mangled glass greenhouse.

He lent it to one of Giselle's subordinates because hr thought it was funny how he killed many humans and yearned for strong black magic.

The guy died without being able to do much.

"As expected, they were born weak. They were killed by a wizard named Yvonne, who was carrying around familiars. That wizard must be dead by now, right?"

The black scythe-wielding Toylat chuckled and flew towards Rudnine, flapping its black wings.

Toylat teleported towards him as he tried to dodge and thrust his scythe into his neck.

Rudnine took a deep breath at the unexpected movement.

As he faced the evil-smiling Toylat, Rudnine was startled by the cold metal on his neck and pulled back.

“It’s too late, die.”

Toylat hurriedly tried to avoid him, but he gave him a stern look and put strength into his arms.

“Who are you to say you’re going to kill him!”

But then, along with the voice of an angry woman, Rudnine, who was supposed to have his head cut off by Toylat's scythe, disappeared in an instant.

Rudnine looked up, realizing that someone had teleported him.

"Ah."

The back of the person he had so desperately wanted to see stood proudly as if protecting him.

Her beautiful silver hair sparkled against the ashen ruins.

He doesn’t know how her hair got so short...

The new hairstyle that matched her long, exposed neck and pretty facial line so well was simply enchanting.

Yvonne felt his gaze and turned her head slightly. When her eyes met his, her eyes widened.

“I’m here, Rudd.”

Rudnine could instinctively sense that his fairy, who had returned with such confidence, had become even stronger than before.

In a serious situation, a loud bell rang in his head for the first time in a long time as he fell in love with her once again.

Ding ding ding ding ding ding―.

Rudnine's ears turned red as he realized what the bell sound meant, even though he hadn't known it before.

'I want to catch this guy quickly.'

He smiled softly to himself as he thought of a way to finally convey his feelings to her.

***

'Oh my god.'

I half turned around when I saw the bloodstains on Rudnine's forehead and around his eyes.

“How dare you hurt my handsome man’s face?!”

"Oh, have you seen a madman! What kind of nonsense is he spouting to the great devil?"

I laughed and replied, feeling creepy at the sight of the perverted demon Toylat, who had deliberately transformed into the younger version of Empress Giselle.

“That’s funny. I’m the great Yvonne, you crazy demon!”

“What kind of confidence can a mere human have?”

Toylat looked dumbfounded.

If I had my way, I would have burned him with the strongest black magic right away.

But I can't use that level of attack magic right now because I'm killing all the demons pouring in from the entrance of liberation while I'm awakening as a warlock.

'Even black magic needs to recharge. There's no time... Damn, who would have thought so many demons would show up?'

In the end, Toylat appeared, but I had no intention of giving up.

I will drive that perverted demon who put a scar on my man's national treasure face out of this human world.

Sure, he was a formidable guy, but I was also incomparably stronger than before.

I knew that black magic was much more powerful than white magic, but thanks to my amplified black magic affinity, its power was increased tenfold.

There was no need for any preparation time to cast the spell.

All I had to do was to infuse magic power into the magic I wanted to implement and attack with will.

As I prepared my attack magic and concentrated my black magic, Toylat noticed and flew up with a smirk.

'Those damn wings.'

Toylat grumbled as he glared at the creature's four shiny wings.

“Too bad, I don’t have time to play with you.”

'That's funny. Besides, I'm naturally good at both physical strength and agility.'

I quickly ran and caught up with the guy who ran away.

“Ugh?! Has this stone ever seen a human?”

“So, why are you targeting the human world, which is full of crazy humans?”

Toylat fled even faster in terror. I followed him, shouting at Rudnine.

“Rudd! To the right!”

"Yes."

Rudnine, who had answered my question faithfully, ran to the right and swung his sword at the fleeing Toylat.

Toylat seemed greatly embarrassed as his sword and my attack magic simultaneously pressed down on him.

"Shit!"

The creature gnashed its teeth, swung its black scythe at us, and then teleported away, completely disappearing from our sight.

Kwakwakwang!

And then there was a huge explosion.

'Ugh.'

Since this was near the glass greenhouse, the scythe he swung shattered all the glass, creating a blast of glass shards.

“Yvonne, are you okay?”

"Yes!"

Rudnine quickly approached me, examined every nook and cranny of my body, and asked with a serious expression.

“Rudd, you’re hurt.”

“I’m fine.”

Unlike my own, which was completely clean and without a single scratch, I felt sorry for his face, which was covered in small scars. As I wiped them with my sleeve, I felt an eerie feeling and looked up.

"Shit!"

Rudnine, who was looking at the sky following me, muttered in a low voice as if chewing.

“...The demons are coming out again.”

One by one, demons were emerging from the red tornado that had pierced the sky.

Of course, it was fortunate that there weren't as many as before... but now wasn't the time for me to deal with them one by one.

“Rudd, please take care of those demons.”

“Is Yvonne trying to go after the Great Demon herself?”

"Yes."

A shadow fell over his face, but he soon nodded.

"Be careful, Yvonne. I'll deal with them quickly, and then I'll go help."

I looked at myself for a moment in those beautiful eyes, like the pitch-black night sky, and nodded and smiled.

“Yes, I’ll wait.”

“Just a moment, Yvonne.”

Rudnine grabbed my wrist as I was about to leave in a hurry and turned me around, then put something around my neck.

'What?'

I felt a heavy weight on my chest and looked down to see a key hanging from it, intricately engraved with the Iels family crest, a moon, and a sword.

"This is the key to the Iels family's treasure vault. What would you do if you gave it to me?"

As soon as I shouted in panic, Rudnine's eyes widened like bows, and he smiled prettily.

“It would be useless if I died anyway, and even if I lived, I would give it all to Yvonne.”

“To me?”

Without answering, he pulled my chin up and kissed it lightly.

And then he whispered, slowly caressing my cheek and chin.

“I love you, Yvonne. I’ll be back as soon as I can.”

“Oh, yes.”

“Don’t get hurt.”

He turned around and ran towards the demons descending to the ground at a speed so fast they couldn't be seen.

'By the way, this... is this a proposal?'

I stared blankly at the place where he had disappeared and fiddled with the key on my necklace.

My ears and the back of my neck turned bright red.

'Really?'

Ughhhhhhhhh!

Kkieeeeet!

Eww!

I was teleported to the glasshouse spire, my mind suddenly snapping from the screams of demons filled with pain, whether from the impact of Rudnine's sword or from the pain of the wounds.

Ugj.

A groan escaped my lips as I reached the spire.

"Ah..."

The man and woman lying on the altar were already cold.

Crown Prince Adrian and Princess Cordelia.

I bit my lip and looked up at Toylat, fluttering its wings around the entrance to the liberation.

Many people died because of that guy.

He watched with delight as the demons poured out of the entrance to liberation and landed on the ground.

She still had the appearance of Empress Giselle in her youth, but now five black horns hideously grew from his head, and his skin had a subtle greenish tint.

'I guess I've completely realized it.'

Promethea, who awakened me as a warlock, deliberately prevented Toylat's full incarnation from Hell, but now even that has reached its limit.

Still, I guess it must have been a little bit of a letdown.

'Now I have to do it.'

I charged the sword I was holding with black magic and swung it with great force like an aura.

A shape of deep blue flame flew quickly towards Toylat, floating in the air.

And then I blew off one of the bastard's four flailing wings with a bang.

'Oh yeah.'

“Ugh! Huh, how?”

Toylat, missing one of its wings, staggered down at me.

It seemed as if he had never even considered that my attack would work on him, who had fully incarnated as the Demon Legion Commander.

"You don't know even after fighting just now? Why are all the masterminds so arrogant, huh?"

I shrugged, raised the corners of my mouth, and shouted.

“Wouldn’t it be awkward if you thought I was just an ordinary warlock?”

“You, no way.”

"I have my own strategies and tactics. I wouldn't even start a reckless fight. I made a contract with a greater demon than you and became a great warlock."

"That can't be true! There's no way a human could possess such an affinity for dark magic that even First Corps Commander Promethea could be satisfied with! There was no one like Giselle Cardin!"

“It’s a shame, but that’s what I ended up doing.”

“Stop talking nonsense!”

Toylat, with its mouth wide open and its sharp teeth bared, lunged at me as if it was about to fall headfirst.

'Huh, that's gross.'

Long, sharp nails like awls extended from the bastard's hands and scratched me, and then the bastard stretched out his leg and kicked me in the stomach.

“Ugh.”

I was pushed far away, barely able to get up on the floor, and I coughed.

This kid. I thought he could fight with magic, but he's engaging in hand-to-hand combat?!

I was a little taken aback. Plus, he was so strong. You're the strongest I've ever met!
