Chapter 174 - Phoenix's Daughter (1)

[Foolish bastard!Since you possessed great qualities for becoming a Demon, I was going to give you special treatment.In the end, you made the wrong choice!]

“What a load of rubbish.”

Silpennon had made up his mind.Silpennon brushed aside the Demon’s words.

“The only good Demon is a dead Demon.”

[Ha!]

Silpennon’s daggers clashed in the air with the Demon’s scythe.Silpennon was still at a disadvantage, but the difference between the two wasn’t stark at all.How could someone change so much in a short amount of time?The holy priestess’ buff was strengthening Silpennon, but that shouldn’t have made this much of a difference.It was difficult for the Demon to explain the change.

[You bastard······!]

The Demon had a realization.Silpennon’s movement was changing at a fundamental level.It was especially noticeable to the Demon’s eyes that several of Silpennon’s skill was being strengthened in an instant

[Is it the Record I returned to you?!]

“If you are bitter about it, you can try to take it back.”

It was impossible.The Demon hadn’t put any constraints when he returned Silpennon’s Record.When taking someone’s Record, it was only possible if there was mutual consent.It seemed Silpennon also knew this.

[In the past, you wholeheartedly accepted our offer.Why are you opposing me!?]

“My past self was also opposed to the Demon race.”

[Then what is your answer in regards to the hero Maetel and Artpe?!]

“Those two are my friends.”

The answer was so straightforward that he looked like an idiot for worrying about it.He nimbly swung his daggers as he used a skill.He charged towards the Demon.

“There is no way I’ll kill my friends, you bitch!”

[You know everything, yet you foolishly choose to stand on the side of humanity!We don’t need you to swallow up the human world.As a result of this, I’ll make sure that you’ll die in the mosthumiliating and miserable fashion!]

“Oh no, you don’t!”

It wasn’t Silpennon’s voice.It was Aria’s voice.She had no idea what the two were talking about, but she was sure the Demon had just insulted Silpennon!

She could insult him, but others couldn’t insult Silpennon.She was firm in this belief as she attacked the Demon with her holy spell.Of course, the level difference was large, so the attack wasn’t that effective.However, it made the Demon flinch for a brief moment.In the next moment, Leseti charged the Demon from the front.Deyus and Mycenae attacked from long range.

[This is your choice.In the end, you are deceiving yourself.You are acting as if you are satisfied with what you already have.]

An ominous light was emitted from the scythe, and the Demon pushed aside the party’s attack in one sweep.Sipennon ran within the shadows as he tried to stick his daggers into the Demon’s leg.However, his attack was neutralized when the Demon detonated his Demonic energy.

[Alright.This will also be a source of entertainment.By killing you guys here, it’ll create despair within the hearts of humans!It’ll help us break down morale amongst the humans!]

“Mr Silpennon!Eeek, unni!”

“Eh-whew!”

When the Demon swung his scythe, several dozen Mana blades glinting with darkness appeared from within.It attacked Silpennon, who had been rolling on the ground.The only one within the party with a shield was Leseti.She was able to block the attack.The Demon hadn’t put much effort into creating this attack, yet Leseti had to use all her strength to block each blow.The Demon’s blows were too heavy.

“He’s a monster!”

“Endure it, Leseti!If we let this bastard do as he likes, he’ll clear this battlefield by himself!”

Silpennon quickly got up, and he took his stance.A blue aura started burning up his daggers.Of course, this aura extended up to his arms.Until now, his ability had been lacking to use this skill.

“Hoo-ahhhhhhhhp!”

[You have spunk, but an attack of that caliber can’t…...Hoohp!]

“Great.This counts as 10 golds to my account.”

Mycenae's arrow flew true as it took off the Demon’s hood.When the Demon instinctively flinched backwards, Silpennon’s attack hit squarely on his face.A fierce spark appeared, and the Demon couldn’t hold back a groan.

[Koo-hoohp!?]

“Alright.The attack was effective.Aria!”

“Oh god, your servant sends her fervent wish.Please give blessing to this being, who was twisted in an evil manner!”

It was the most holy blessing that Aria could use, and it came down on the Demon.As a holy priestess, this was also the strongest attack she could use against a Demon!

The holy power considered the Demon race to be ‘twisted’ and ‘wrong’.This was why the power of the blessing tried to revert the Demons to their original form.As a result, the amount of Demonic energy possessed by the Demon decreased, and his ability to heal from a wound was delayed!

‘If I think about it, it is obvious as to why Demons become tormented by the presence of holy energy.If humans were changed into Demons, it is obvious that they aren’t in their true form!’

The divine will didn’t have hold over the Demon race.

Silpennon still had deep hatred from his previous life dying his heart.However, Aria was looking straight at him with worry in her eyes.He was able to slough off those nasty emotions.

[You brats!You little maggots dare do this to me!]

“Good.You are starting to drop archetypal lines!”

It was as Artpe always said.When someone that looked capable started to spit out common lines of a villain, one had to no longer worry about that enemy!At this moment, it was funny that he had thought about Artpe’s words.However, if one thought about the relationship he developed with Artpe in this life, it was quite natural.

‘You better be prepared for me later, Artpe.’

He wanted to get the whole story from Artpe.Moreover, Silpennon was going to put his emotions from his past life into making a confession to Maetel.He'll confess, and he’ll be turned down.He’ll be able to make a clean break.He knew who was most important to him right now.Despite this fact, he still had the emotions that he had amassed over a very long time.He won’t be able to go forward without settling that issue.

“Alright.”

Silpennon’s eyes shone brightly.He was determined to kill this Demon at all cost.

[I’l kill you, thief!]
