Chapter 139 - Eteria Rodinus 4 (1/2)
Boetius had woken up and was able to talk in earnest now.
While he was unconscious, Helena had volunteered to stay by Woohyuk's side on her own, so Woohyuk didn’t really have the opportunity to meet and converse with the other members of Eteria Rodinus.
“First of all, I wish to thank you, King of Rhine.”
Boetius was informed about Woohyuk’s intervention by the other members before coming here.
As he bowed with his staff in both hands, Ibn Rusud spoke in an arrogant tone.
“Lord Boetius, you do not have to be so polite to him. He only helped us to receive some gains and benefits himself.”
“Whatever the purpose was, we cannot deny that he saved us during a crisis, Ibn Rusud. Please refrain from speaking thoughtlessly.”
Boetius' position was firm.
When Ibn Rusud shut his mouth reluctantly, Helena, who stood next to him, smiled and changed the subject.
“He truly has Lemegeton in his possession, just like the prophetic book had said. He can also use its abilities.”
“… I can imagine that. He did inherit Demon God Asura’s name.”
Lemegeton was a magic book that could seal the 72 Demon Kings, and Woohyuk was the successor of the previous Demon God.
It was no surprise that Woohyuk had acquired Lemegeton and could utilize it.
The question now was how he would use it from now on.
“Lord Boetius, how about taking this opportunity to question the demon kings sealed in Lemegeton? They may know the information we need.”
”Hm… That is a good idea. We implore you, King of Rhine.”
Boetius nodded at the suggestion of a wiseman.
When everyone turned to him in unison, Woohyuk took out Lemegeton and summoned the three demon kings.
“Accept my call. Amii, Volak, Dantalion.”
Swooooosh!
Dark energy covered the interior of the stone chamber.
The members of Eteria Rodinus took their battle stances as they prepared for the worst case scenario.
Before long, three figures appeared side by side inside the fog-like thick demonic energy.
“Dammit… Just why must I act like his mutt…”
“But I’m glad I wasn’t whipped like you, Amii.”
“As long as I don’t get tortured by Asura, I would have nothing else to wish for in life. I technically am the weakest demon king, so...”
Their voices revealed each of their identities.
Woohyuk first grabbed Amii by the nape and dragged her in front of Boetius.
“Kyaaaaa! Don’t whip me! Just hang me and kill me instead!”
“Even Urkheim knows you won’t die with that much only.”
“Who are you even talking about… Anyways, please stop bothering me. Aren’t you also a demon king?”
Boetius suddenly struck her head with his staff.
Thump!
“Kyaaaaaagh!”
“You talk too much for someone who was sealed. Enough with the small talk. Answer my questions.”
“Urgh…”
Amii realized Boetius was a saint through the amount of divine power he had.
Her face darkened.
As she got quiet, Helena stuck out her tongue towards the woman on the floor.
”It’s so nice to see her like this. She used to come at me and attack me like a cat in heat.”
“…”
That was why Amii had been whipped by Woohyuk recently.
As Helena kept teasing her, Boetius coughed.
“Helena, this is a public place, so act with the dignity of a saint.”
”I apologize. I won't do it next time.”
“You don’t sound sincere at all, Ms. Saint.”
Ibn Rusud taunted Helena as he watched her bright expression. The two of them were siblings.
Moreover, Boetius was their biological grandfather.
”Why don’t you mind your own business, Mr. Wiseman who always gets compared to Rosenkreuz?”
“Stop it, both of you. Don’t act like you’re at home in front of the demon kings.”
“Did you hear that, Ms. Saint? Please act appropriately.”
“Then we just have to stop talking to each other, Mr. Wiseman. For eternity.”
The brother and sister simultaneously turned away as they pouted.
Boetius sighed and apologized to Woohyuk.
“Apologies. Those children grew up without parental care and have become slightly rebellious, so please be understanding.”
“I don't really mind, as long as they aren’t useless.”
Woohyuk glanced to the side at Helena.
Helena, who felt his gaze, lightly smiled and pretended not to notice.
“Then, let's get back to our original topic.”
Boetius turned to Amii.
Afterwards, he took a scroll and unrolled it to show Amii.
”That's… .”
“Tell me everything you know about the original document of this manuscript. If you do so, we won’t have to resort to corporal punishment, such as the whipping you hate.”
The original document Boetius referred to was the Sangreal Chronicles.
Amii hesitated for a moment before speaking.
“Recently, I accidentally overheard the conversation of some demon kings in another circle. They talked about finding the Sangreal Chronicles, erasing the divine lineage from the world, and taking the Holy Grail to the demon world.”
