The Devil Who Grants Wishes

“Ha… ha ha…”

“Relax.”

No matter how many times I asked if I could endure any kind of pain, no matter how much I did, no more.

The physical body gets stronger the more you train it, but if the training exceeds the critical point and is overused, it has the opposite effect. Muscles melted and joints were broken.

“No… I can still do more…”

But the warrior doesn’t care about that at all. You obviously know it very well, but you are deliberately ignoring it.

…well, it’s because you have plenty of time.

It would be better to take a break than to keep practicing to get stronger, but that’s too much.

“please…”

The hero himself must be very well aware that time does not pass, but the foolishness does not have this foolishness. The hero is acting impatiently and urgently, as if time is limited.

But… I can still understand.

He would never be able to admit to himself that he could rest comfortably on his own when his colleagues were dead like that.

‘Heh.’

Judging by the status of the hero, it seems like he will ignore me no matter how much I tell him to rest. If I don’t become an opponent, I’ll even swing a sword in the air.

Should I bind my body and force it to rest?

But I don’t think he’ll be able to rest comfortably just because he’s like that… Yeah, there was a potion.

“Take it.”

“This…!”

When you hand the stamina recovery potion taken out of the subspace warehouse to the hero, the hero receives the potion with a glimmer of light.

Stamina recovery potion is an item that allows you to instantly recover your dying health just by pressing the keyboard in the game, but the recovery mechanism is very different in this world, which is not a digital game, but an obvious reality.

The biggest one is the problem of body defects.

In Noah, if you get hit by an enemy attack, such as limbs, organs, etc., these things don’t happen, and you take damage, which leads to a decrease in the health bar.

However, in reality, of course, body defects happen, and even if they are given a recovery medicine, the lost body does not return. The health bar doesn’t even exist.

“…thank you.”

However, once in a while, the health recovery potion shows the recovery performance.

It’s not at the level that makes the missing part grow back, but it treats cuts, blood loss, accumulated fatigue, exhausted muscles, etc. to an amazing level.

It will show a great effect to the warriors who are exhausted from training.

“As you well know, recovery potions do not solve the fatigue engraved on the soul.”

But this is the problem.

Stamina recovery potions that only work on the body cannot relieve the fatigue of the soul.

I didn’t mean to just rest without taking any recovery pills.

The exhausted and exhausted soul is screaming for rest, and if it continues to be abused, it will cause serious disharmony, leading to a terrible accident.

The mind starts to go blank, and you feel as if you are possessed by your own body, your ego collapses and you go crazy, and eventually your soul breaks down and you are separated from your body.

The body left alone just collapses like a meat doll and then dies of starvation, and the separated soul turns into a ghost monster and wanders around the world.

Of course, as a hero has a noble soul as well as tremendous mental power befitting a hero, he can endure it enough… Obviously, there must be some adverse effect.

“Rather than drinking potions and continuing to practice, it would be better to just rest and recover.”

“It’s fine… Come on, please continue your practice.”

“You could go crazy, right?”

“…at least it’s better than sitting still and resting. I can’t relax.”

However, the warrior also refuses to rest. You just keep beating yourself up.

oh my, this girl

The meaning is great, but honestly, from my point of view, it’s just an arrogance for no reason.

Time has stopped, but you take a break and then train, why is it so harsh?

“…I respect your will. However, if I judge that your soul is the limit, you must rest until your soul recovers.”

“It-“

“Your soul is mine. Where are you going to use your broken soul?”

“…”

The warrior’s mouth, who was about to object, was instantly blocked.

From a warrior’s point of view, it would not be strange at all if I stopped training when my soul was broken, as I was receiving the money for training.

Above all else, I have already given potions and compromised once.

If you force yourself further, you’ll think it’s realistic enough for me to break the contract and forcibly take the soul.

“Once you know, start training again. Get up.”

“…Yes.”

The hero, who had not listened to me until recently, meekly affirmed my words.

Hey, I was just saying something that just popped into my head, but it works surprisingly well. I will be using it more often in the future.

………….

Chae Aeeng!

hey hey!

‘…it’s fast.’

Should I be called a warrior?

It’s only been about 70 hours since I started training, but learning swordsmanship is so fast.

Once explained, he immediately understands, and once he made a mistake, he never makes a mistake again.

A warrior who ignorantly believed in his specs and wielded his sword until he started training is no longer like that.

Knowing clearly when to soften the power, performing tricks, and making fakes.

I’ve grown big enough to be a little heavy

“Ha ha ha!!”

Aww!

‘yes?’

What, this is full moon slashing.

Full Moon Slash is a skill that can be used by the swordsman class, and is named after it because it swings the sword in the shape of a large full moon.

The range is wide, the damage is moderate, and the debuff that lowers the enemy’s defense is applied, so it is a skill that swordsman classes in Noah regularly employ.

‘Why is he using it…?’

However, Full Moon Cleave is not a skill that can be used by a hero who has not finished Leon, the story in the beginning. The required level that can be acquired is not in itself.

but you wrote it

what??

“…just what is it?”

“What? It’s just a swing.”

I wasn’t conscious of it.

It was just too similar to be dismissed as a coincidence. Seeing that something different from his usual slashing was felt, it is certain that the hero just wore a full moon slash.

If so… maybe.

Paah

When you turn on the magic poem, it appears that the level of the hero has risen from before starting training. Much higher than that demon.

Compared to me, he was so insignificant that he didn’t seem to notice his level up.

uh…

I was planning to finish the swordsmanship training first and solve the level later…?

“…?”

When I stopped suddenly, the hero looked at me with a puzzled face, but I don’t have time to worry about it now.

Why did you level up?

The basic condition of RPG is to raise the level by hunting monsters. A hero who has only trained swordsmanship without killing anyone up until now will rise in level… Wait a minute.

‘This is not a game.’

The story follows the same, there are levels, and there are magic, but first of all, this world is not a game, but a reality, so it does not follow the rules of the game as it is. The recovery potion is a prime example.

How about the level system?

What if you don’t have to kill enemies unconditionally, but if you can level up through other methods such as training?

I hope that because of my continuous training and battles, the hero grows so rapidly… uh… um…

“The training ends here.”

“Such… it’s still lacking a lot!!”

“No, that’s enough. From now on, learn swordsmanship yourself.”

If more warriors come out and fight, the level of the hero will rise exponentially. Am I not Noah’s final raid boss?

That’s not okay.

If the hero becomes too strong from the beginning, there is a high chance that several stories will be skipped. If the skipped story is an important story in maintaining Noah’s world… Ugh, just imagining it is terrible.

“…Yes, demon.”

Oh man, it’s surprisingly easy to understand.

If I were the hero I’ve seen so far, I thought I’d go crazy because I wanted to become stronger—

“The value of my soul… it’s only this much. Well, I mean, I must have killed my comrades in a thousand minutes or so.”

‘…ok?’

At that moment, the hero lowered his head and immediately began to misunderstand himself.

I am arbitrarily judging that the reason I stop training here is that my soul is only worth that much.

His white hair drooped like vines, and his blue eyes lost their light and became cloudy.

No, it’s not that, it’s just that it’s difficult if you level up too much, so I’m doing it this far…

Hey, I don’t know. Once you’ve figured it out,

“Demon, thank you for giving me the opportunity to avenge my comrades. I ask you to take my soul after you defeat that demon.”

“…”

what.

I have no intention of taking my soul, but if I don’t take it, I feel like I’m going to become a bad guy.

It feels so good to play with such a pitiful, innocent, and noble virgin as if they were playing with them as a toy.

As much as I’ve felt good so far, it’s all about evil, so it must be evil. Don’t do it.

If so… uh… um… how should I… yes, I’ll do it this way.

Whether you take the soul or not, you just need to instill in the hero the belief that one day I will take the soul.

“Didn’t you hear me telling you to learn swordsmanship on your own from now on?”

“…!”

“I will receive your soul after you die. Live as you wish until you die.”

Of course it’s fake.

When a hero dies, he just dies, there’s no way I can take the hero’s soul.

“thank you…”

But the warrior doesn’t seem to think so. As soon as he heard my answer, tears welled up in his eyes.

Are you so happy?

Well, of course I’d be happy. You can live longer, but who wouldn’t like this?

“Demon, can you tell me your name? My name is Iris.”

“It’s Faust.”

Now, as long as the dead warrior’s allies are brought back to life, the story will run normally. not like that
