Volume 2 - CH 353

Chapter 8-25. Retreat

Iubola, a tall, collarless devil in a long cloak, spoke as he did so.

An orange-haired devil, Igal, is carried on his shoulders, indicating that he is out cold.

Igal’s enhancement magic enhanced Iubola’s abilities and brainwashed the opposing Oni using the blood medium, but he was easily perceived by Uchikage and the other Oni who had no splat of blood on their bodies.

It was a battle that had to be admired by the oni, who had plenty of experience in combat, and this time they were out of their misery.

Though they had hoped to buy a little more time, Yaqi’s allies, who were the key to this operation, had been wiped out, and despite the powerful attacks unleashed due to their deaths, most of the enemies were still in a state of reactivity.

Given that, this time it was a loss.

The devil’s side no longer has any troops here that can be called a battle force.

They are massing their forces in a different direction, so reinforcements are not anticipated.

Uchikage, the oni, was a problem this time.

He moves at an incredible speed, using his rake to block and cut through everything in his path.

The current crew would not be able to handle that kind of speed.

And the recovery magic casted by the reincarnator.

He had never seen such an advanced and highly effective range recovery magic.

A skill different from that possessed by Hiwa.

Nothing else to do but to ponder how troublesome it is.

The fact that he is still relaxed after using such a great skill, it is safe to assume that his magical power is more than that of a devil.

Actually, even if deducting the magic power used by the constantly deployed manipulation haze, the water bullet gauntlets provided to the people this time, the explosion caused by air compression, and the area high heal used at the end, Ouren still had over 1000 MP left.

Though the magic power used was greatly reduced due to evolution, the devil himself, of course, was unaware of this.

“Yaqi, are you all right? Can’t you use your reversal?”

“I don’t have any more magic left. ……”

“Oh, the inner one is out huh.”

“What the hell, that’s rude! But I can recover. [Self Reversal] .”

Yaki puts strength into her arms and regenerates the missing body parts.

Her clothes also seem to have returned to the way they were before they were missing.

After checking the condition, Yaki reverts back to her front personality.

Since she has used the last of her magic power for regeneration, she doesn’t even have any magic power left to draw out her back personality anymore.

Thinking that the back personality has a really strange character, Iubola prepares to return.

He took out a pair of dice from his pocket and squeezed them.

Then a gate appears behind him.

After tossing Igal he carried on his shoulder for now, he transformed his arm and grabbed the spear that was approaching from behind.

A red-haired man with a small body flew at him.

Though he has a powerful form, the flames growing from his back are dangerous.

“Thereincarnator of Amahana?”

“His body is not strong enough ……! Besides, this guy is ……!”

The spear of the young Houen was easily knocked away and thrown away.

He thought about turning the spear into flames, but Iubora’s tentacles, which looked like black chunks of deformed material, absorbed the magic power used for that flame.

The attack was unexpected, and he backed away and readied himself.

Meanwhile, Yaqi had passed through the gate.

All that remained was Iubola.

“Don’t run away!”

“We are not going to die here. Sorry, reincarnator. We have not achieved our goal here, but we will meet again.”

“What is your purpose? Why are you doing this!!! Answer me!!!”

“What is the purpose of this? But I cannot tell you that.”

“Atrak said he wants to tell me, but he can’t! Why is that!”

At that moment, Iubola’s expression changed.

He was about to return, but stopped and turned back to the Houen.

Atrak …….

The eldest devil.

Iubola had only met him once, and he was a devil god.

The devil god Atrak, who is one rank above the devil king and rarely appears even in front of the devil king, seems to have appeared only to tell the reincarnator about the matter.

A Majin as great as Atrak would have been able to tell as much information as possible for as long as possible.

What information could an ordinary devil possibly convey?

If Iubola had tried to tell him, he would have died just by taking a breath.

“Atrak is dead! He said it was a curse! You people kill humans, is it one of the reason to break the curse?!”

“Atrak-sama goes that far ……!”

“….-sama?”

Houen nodded his head in regard to the ‘-sama’ suffix.

He felt uncomfortable about the fact that that thing was a higher being than the devil called Iubola.

Maybe, that guy is just really doesn’t look like that.

But he could not say.

Not even Atrak could tell him that much.

There was no way Iubola could tell him anything different.

“But I can tell you this. We are doing all of this for your ‘people’ sake.”

“Can’t you be more specific?!”

“I’m sorry. But…”

Iubola then pulled out a card from behind his cloak and tossed it to Houen, who reacted but failed to take it.

He responded but failed to take it, and the card stuck in a gap in the small suit of armor.

When he picked it up, he saw that it depicted a joker on a playing card.

Could it be an imitation of a clown or something?

“Find the Majin Lurimkos. Perhaps you will find out something.” (Majin could mean Devil god or great devil)

“!? Why are you ……”

“Well then.”

After saying this, Iubola entered the gate and the gate disappeared.

Another thing that didn’t add up.

Why did the devil provide the information?

And what on earth were they trying to tell them?

There are still many things that are unclear to them.

However, he felt as if he was able to take another step forward.

The ground was filled with cheers, and many were soaking up the victory this time.

Seeing the devil’s retreat, they must have been convinced of their victory.

Amidts to their cheering, Houen was unable to rejoice in this victory.
