Chapter 323
Chapter 323 - Let's Defeat a Devil
The superior devil Marmon Mimon was the subordinate of Lust Zeku of the great devil group『The Seven Deadly Sins』 .
Marmon Mimon didn't want to be Zeku's subordinate, but Marmon Mimon couldn't go against that old man . The heavy constraint of absolute obedience was placed on Marmon Mimon, and it could be said that their soul already had no freedom .
And Marmon Mimon had come to the frontier of Minshiana as ordered . The details were unclear, but it was reported that Ghost King Yohan, who had settled in Minshiana's abandoned capital, could possibly adversely affect the progress of future plans .
『Good grief, this is bothersome . / Good grief, this is troublesome . 』
Marmon Mimon was a male/female couple who had been transformed into a devil, and those voices leaked from their two heads .
Marmon Mimon rode the Dragon Boat from Hyvern to get here, but the journey so far couldn't be called smooth sailing .
After arriving at Hyvern Dukedom's Resurrect City, Marmon Mimon unluckily encountered the White Party, an adventurer party that had previously fought against『The Seven Deadly Sins』 .
They had a devil hunter who wasn't on their side, and it was said that their leader, the Ogre Killing Princess, could sniff out devils by their scent . It was unclear if that was truly the case, but they were warned to stay away . They didn't think they would have trouble fighting humans, but being found seemed like it would be troublesome .
Therefore, they expressly postponed boarding the boat, but when they disembarked, the city was on high alert for devils . The White Party had arrived in Wombard City before them, and it seemed the alert was caused by them discovering black potion smuggling . Marmon Mimon clicked their tongues when they heard that . Marmon Mimon didn't care about black potions or the White Party . Marmon Mimon was irritated by the needless waste of time .
And Marmon Mimon felt that Wombard's surveillance net was robust enough that even a superior devil like themself would have trouble slipping through, but with the help of devil believers in the city, they were able to safely leave Wombard City .
During the journey, they were frightened when a lightning apparition roared right past them, but it seemed it didn't notice Marmon Mimon at all, so should they consider it lucky that no particular problems occurred?
Though when they stopped by Urguska Dungeon Market, the topic of the lightning monster was spreading, and since Marmon Mimon was dressed as a traveler, they were also called out to, which was extremely discomfiting . Marmon Mimon didn't want to approach noisy places, so that didn't make them very happy, and moreover, the same situation happened in the subsequent Shijiri City . No, it was worse; it was an old city, and the adventures and Outer in the city were all investigating the lightning apparition (which seemed to be a monster called Crawling Lightning), so Marmon Mimon's time was needlessly wasted .
『Crawling Lightning? / Is it a monster?』
In the end, Marmon Mimon was very anxious when they learned that the apparition was heading toward Abandoned Capital Muruage, their own destination, but they were forced to obey the order they had received . They couldn't run away .
『Can we defeat that? / It might not be as strong as it looks . 』
Marmon Mimon answered their own question . The lightning apparition certainly ran flashily, but Marmon Mimon grasped that the discharge itself didn't have strong magical power . Of course, that discharge probably wasn't its only attack, but they sensed that it wasn't an opponent they couldn't defeat if they made a serious effort .
The bigger problem was what they had heard concerning the rank S escort .
There was some information from a demon believer in the Adventurers Guild, but it seemed the believer was arrested after giving that information .
The guildmaster of Hyvern's Adventurers Guild was killed by a devil, so for the past few months, they had been taking action against devils more seriously than anywhere else . Marmon Mimon had heard that the believers were discovered and that all information routes from Hyvern's Adventurers Guild had been crushed .
『Fools are found around every corner? / We're being used, so we could also be called fools . 』
『Without a doubt . / Without a doubt . 』
The man and woman's laughter leaked, and they entered the abandoned capital .
『Hm? / Oh?』
And the moment they entered, they felt a sense of discomfort .
The sign was incredibly faint, but there was a barrier that even an Astral being probably wouldn't notice if they didn't have keen senses . As soon as they sensed it, they could grasp that the magical power in the surroundings was flowing towards them .
(It's perceiving us and constructing a spell formula? / Automatic tracking . This is rank S?)
Marmon Mimon judged that it would be difficult to break a flawlessly constructed spell formula that could smoothly tear through a devil's resistance .
『I'll take it on . / Please do so . 』
Then Marmon Mimon changed the operation of their body to only the female personality and concentrated the entire spell on their male personality .
『Muscles are flying? Hahahahahahahahaha / Since this is an automatic technique, I wonder if we haven't been noticed yet . 』
The female Marmon Mimon said while surveying the surroundings . There were no presences . The male personality was confused by strange hallucinations and was useless . Their strength was halved, but even if the opponent was rank S, in the end, they were still a human being . With their trump card sealed like this, the result in a frontal battle was decided . . . as Marmon Mimon was thinking that, she noticed a further sense of discomfort .
Their body wouldn't move . They were firmly grasped by something invisible .
『I have to sprinkle eggs . Fresh ones! / What is this!?』
「Okayy . I caught youuu . 」
And when she noticed, a tall Okama was standing before their eyes . For some reason, he was making a pose . It gave her the impression of a savage falcon . Although he was slender, that body was certainly tempered thoroughly .
And when she looked with her senses as an Astral being, she realized they were being held by the magical power of the Okama before their eyes . However, that amount of magical power was excessively large .
(Muscle Banzaii! / He's moving magical power freely as if it were clay!?)
Marmon Mimon's surprise was natural . While emitting an amount of magical power that didn't seem possible for a human being, the monster in front of them was molding it like clay and grabbing them . It was a tremendously strong and perfectly constructed magical body that surpassed their own, even though they were an Astral being .
Since the male personality still hadn't broken the spell, it seemed the wide-ranging illusion they had heard about wasn't a bluff . But that wasn't the only thing .
Rank S adventurer Margo Velvet . Marmon Mimon had only just heard about his strength . . .
「So then, do it, Kazane-cha～n . 」
