The Betrayed Devil No Longer Hides His Power

chapter 21



21 – Cheating, Cheating, Mindless 10

“What… what? Print… Frieza?”

An unexpected existence appeared before my eyes.

Saint Frieza.

A member of the warrior party and the continent’s strongest cleric.

The moment he heard her name, Crassus felt extreme fear even though he was an undead.

Aside from the hero with the holy sword, he is one of the few beings who can threaten his master, the Demon King.

With her level of ability, it would have been a very simple task to see through even the master’s vision.

“I watched for a while… After all, it doesn’t look like an ordinary undead.”

-“Kuu!..”

Freeza asks questions in a calm voice.

Since the meaning of the warning contained in it, Zeke immediately pulled out a scythe, but

Crassus immediately raised his hand to stop it.

‘It is not an opponent that can be defeated. There is no point in attempting to strike first without countermeasures against an existence that even the lord cannot take lightly.’

Because he wasn’t even from a priest, there was no way he could be an opponent like Crassus, who lacked combat power.

This is the same even if the situation is slightly better than Zikra.

Even if you do your best to use black magic in this place,

With one gesture from Frieza, who handles the undead’s extreme power, the two would be reduced to dust in an instant.

It’s literally like meeting your worst enemy at a dead end.

In response, Crassus quickly analyzed this situation, trying to somehow keep his cool.

‘Not good… With this woman, my mission isn’t a problem, but my master’s plans can be twisted in general. In any case, I have to inform the owner of this situation… ‘

Since her identity is revealed, that woman won’t be able to leave her alone.

Therefore, Crassus opened his mouth cautiously in order to escape at least Zeke, who was able to escape by magic.

– “If you speak… Will you save me?”

“Before I answer that… “

With those words,

Frieza began to put on the divine power in one hand.

“First you have to answer my question. Who is your master?”

Warning that we will immediately take care of anyone who engages in nonsense.

She doesn’t kidnap her even in the slightest gap. Her attitude made Crassus feel a burning sensation inside her.

-“Ooh… We just did normal office work. I didn’t do anything particularly bad, so don’t get me wrong….”

-Pak!

“!!!”

A terrifying presence felt in an instant.

Sensations as if skulls were shattered and limbs were torn apart.

In fact, at this moment, Crassus had no choice but to keep his mouth shut at this tremendous murderous intention that Frieza felt even though he didn’t even move.

“It is not easy to show mercy to the undead. I’ll ask again. Who is it that gave the order?”

-“… “

Her declaration was practically a final warning.

Recognizing that she couldn’t even open her mouth any longer, Crassus had no choice but to make a cool calculation.

If they shut up and die here, the owner will suffer.

And the damage that would occur if Zeke escaped somehow, even while leaking some truthful information.

As a result of weighing it, he came to the conclusion…

It was the latter.

– “We… Receive the command of the great being. I have come to destroy this land.”

“Great… existence?”

-“Yes. He returned to destroy the petty free races. Soon, the humans of this land and you elves will all cry out in front of him and die.”

“!”

– Blame it!

Frieza frowned at Crassus’ words and showed a gap for a moment.

Zeke, who did not miss the momentary gap, disappeared from there in an instant, emitting black magic.

Short-range teleport.

The distance wasn’t that long, but that was enough to make a narrow escape in this situation.

With the conclusion that such a dangerous hurdle had been passed, Crassus shouted with a feeling of lightness.

– “Keukkeuk… I can’t let the likes of you interfere with his plans. Even if I die here!”

“… “

“Come on. Filthy god’s whore!”

Although he lacks fighting power, Crassus takes out his scythe and corrects it with the intention of delaying even one second longer

There was no way for him to survive in this situation, but there was no particular limit.

Anyway, he exists for his master.

It was enough if I could become a handful of manure for his plan.

By the way…

-“… What are you doing? Come on.”

“… I’m back… did you say?”

-“?”

Contrary to the expectation that he would immediately express anger or bewilderment, Frieza asked a question in a blank voice.

It was at that time that Crassus felt a moment of doubt about that fact.

-Pak!

– “Woo!”

Freeza approaches Crassus with an invisible movement.

In that split second, she shattered Crassus’ scythe and at the same time grabbed his skull.

It wasn’t just an attack.

If she had only her heart, she would have already melted Crassus’ skull with her holy power.

However, the sensation I felt at this moment…

It was her movement that felt a sense of urgency.

“Please tell me clearly. Did you come back? And what a great man… There’s no way there are many demons who can create undead like you. As far as I know, only one person can do that. You are that person now… The Demon King has returned… Are you saying that?”

“!?”

Freeza asks a question in an urgent voice.

Then Crassus became more and more seized with an incomprehensible feeling.

‘Dae… What the hell is this woman?… I never thought of a reaction like this… ‘

From what I’ve said so far, the other person is that person…

If you recognized the demon king’s return, it was a guess within your assumptions.

Anyway, even within the master’s plan, the moment the undead came to this place, it might be difficult to keep it a secret any longer.

Rather than that, it was a situation where the damage to be suffered by attacking while unaware of the existence of the saintess was greater.

For that reason, the information was leaked…

At this moment, Freeza’s appearance was very different from what he expected.

“Please… please tell me really… really he… Is the Demon King alive?”

From a certain point on, Freeza speaks more like a request rather than a threat.

It’s not like fear or fear…. A voice with an incomprehensible urgency.

Looking at her reaction like this,

Crassus felt more and more incomprehensible questions, and for now answered her words.

-“Yes… all.”

“Ah!”

At that word, Frieza suddenly smiled brightly.

Then she let go of her hand holding Crassus,

She literally knelt on her floor and put her hands together.

“Thank you… really… Thank you very much… “

– “!?”

As soon as she confirmed that the demon king was alive, she shed tears and prayed for thanks.

Concluding that I have no idea how to react to this bizarre appearance.

Crassus had no choice but to stand quietly there for a while.

*

“What? Freeza?”

-“Yes, sir.”

An unexpected report that came in the face of a battle.

I couldn’t help but feel genuinely bewildered at the news that there was a saintess, Freeda, within Sagunto Castle, which could be reached in half a day.

“If it’s Frieder… Of that warrior party?”

“Yes, she’s been quite a while, but she’s the woman I’ve been in a fight with. She was a pretty strong guy.”

“Ummm… After all, is she that guy… “

Unlike her, Fenrir and Hella express considerable concern.

That’s right, the opponent was a saintess who was of the highest quality to our demons.

A person who freely handles divine power on a different level from clumsy priests.

That said, there was no way I would lose in a head-to-head confrontation, but in some ways it was clear that I was more dangerous than a hero.

Especially in the current situation, even if he wins, he has no choice but to take a considerable loss.

In the worst case, more than half of the undead troops gathered so far could be lost, and one of the officers could become incapacitated.

The fortunate thing is that unlike other warrior parties, there is room for conversation.

I showed my support for the peace I advocated for,

In addition, unlike the other warrior party bastards, at least he didn’t stab me in the back at the end, so I thought that at least we could negotiate.

‘Honestly, I don’t really want to fight with him either… Well, I can’t help it if someone over there interferes with my plans.’

It’s a waste of Crassus, who would have been beaten 9 out of 10 times, but in the current situation, it’s not a bad choice if you can defeat the saintess through conversation.

Like that, I thought I should try contacting him at least once.

I stopped her undead soldiers for a moment and started thinking about who to send to her.

Then…

– “Old… Lord!”

“Huh?”

– “! Nice… Crassus?”

The next moment, an urgent voice came from outside.

Then, in front of my eyes, I saw the figure of Crassus rolling into the tent.

“Are you still alive?”

-“Yes, it is! Thanks to the Lord’s grace, I was able to survive! That… than that First over there… “

“What the hell is going on… !?”

“Huh?”

“Kuu!”

The next moment, a person slowly enters through the tent.

Seeing him not showing any sign even though he was so close, the demons, including me, could only automatically be alert.

“… Frieza.”

“… “
