Chapter 426 - There’s No Reason To Be Scared Of Darling
“Hm, hmm~ Hm, hm, hm.”
A boy was humming joyfully atop a hill covered in dry sand red as if it were dyed in blood. He was sitting on a giant rock and was innocently swinging his legs.
Step, tap, step, tap.
Someone slowly walked toward the boy with the sound of a staff hitting the ground between the steps.
The boy asked without looking back, “Is that you, Amon?”
“Yes, Lord Bael.” The hunchback demon wearing an old robe bowed deeply. “The World Tree has been successfully corrupted.”
“Good work.” The boy smiled brightly and nodded.
Amon rubbed his staff on the ground and remarked, “However, it is not a permanent corruption. Your tooth has been removed, so the World Tree will be restored to its original state soon.”
“Hehe. It doesn’t matter.” Bael lightly shook his head as if he didn’t care. “I already got what I wanted.”
Bael looked up into the sky and smiled widely.
The corners of Amon’s wrinkly mouth rose. “Is that so?”
“Yeah.”
“May I assume that means you will be departing right away?”
“Mmm~ about that,” Bael leaned back to look at Amon. “I’m thinking of seeing someone before I go.”
“Who?”
“Lucifer.” Bael licked his lips and cackled. “Ahhh, I haven’t seen Lucifer in so long either. I wonder if he’s doing well?”
“I am sure that Lord Lucifer misses you as well.”
“Hihi! You think so too, right?”
Bael clapped his hands together with a bright smile.
Amon placed his hand on the top of his staff and asked, “But... Are you sure this is fine?” Exxploore uptodate stories at novelhall.com? What do you mean?”
“Ingrium has fallen to the Demon King’s hands.”
“Oh, ohhhh! That?” Bael smiled and continued, “It’s fine. After all, I let Moab have it so I could give the demonic sword to the Demon King.”
“...”
Amon remained silent as he looked down at the leisurely Bael. He could see an endless abyss in the innocent-looking boy.
“Hihihi,” Bael giggled as he shook his legs. He then stretched and laid down on the ground with his arms and legs spread out widely. “Nghhh~! Ah, I can’t wait.”
Bael looked up at the sky and mumbled, “I can’t wait, I can’t wait, I can’t wait, I can’t wait, I can’t wait, I can’t wait, I can’t wait, I can’t wait.”
The corners of his mouth ripped open to his earlobes and revealed sharp teeth of a beast. He licked his lips with his long tongue and saliva drooled down to his chin.
“I wanna eat...” Bael jumped up and down restlessly. “I wanna eat, I wanna eat, I wanna eat, I wanna eat, I wanna eat!!!”
Crackle!
Bael extended his arm and pulled out the Second Heaven of the Four Heavenly Kings.
“L-Lord Bael?” Peleshet, the master of the Second Heaven, twisted anxiously as Bael grabbed him by the neck.
“I’m... hungry.”
The crazed eyes of a starved beast glared at Peleshet.
“E-eek...!”
Baek’s mouth split open as wide as how snakes devoured their prey.
Crunch!
Peleshet’s head vanished into Bael’s mouth. It was horrendous to see a boy greedily chewing on a head far larger than himself.
“Munch, munch.” Bael swallowed Peleshet’s head and began to hum again. “Hmm~ hm, hm, hm~”
“O-oh, I’m feeling much better now, Sir Kang-Woo.” Iris carefully nodded and walked up to Kang-Woo. She looked around, searching for someone. “Umm... Is Seol-Ah here?”
“Nope. Darling left a little earlier.”
“Phew.”
Iris sighed in relief and cautiously sat next to Kang-Woo.
Kang-Woo asked, “Have you been contacted by Lady Elune at all?”
“That happens to be why I’ve come to see you today.” Iris clenched her dress and lowered her head. “Lady Elune said that... she would borrow my body to manifest again soon.”
She was trembling, her eyes filled with fear. It was natural to be restless since a goddess would be borrowing her body to manifest.
“Are you scared?” Kang-Woo asked and smirked.
Iris lowered her head and tapped on the floor with the ends of her heels. She mumbled as she wept, “... Yes, I’m scared.”
Kang-Woo patted Iris’s head. “Whenever you’re scared, think back to that time.”
Iris recalled a memory filled with blood. Kang-Woo put his hand over her trembling hand.
“You can beat your fears. You can kill and overcome them. You’ve proven that yourself.”
Hearing Kang-Woo’s clear voice calmed Iris down for some reason. Her hands stopped trembling.
She smiled. “Thank you very much, Sir Kang-Woo.”
“Right then, I’ll call my party members.”
It would be better for everyone to hear Elune’s words than just himself. Kang-Woo stood up.
“S-Sir Kang-Woo!” Iris quickly grabbed his clothes.
“Hm?”
“I... ummm... S-Seol-Ah is a bit...”
Iris trembled in fear once again; she looked even more terrified than when Elune said that she would manifest by borrowing Iris’s body.
‘What? What’s so wrong about my darling? She’s kinder and more gentle than anyone.’
There were indeed times when she lost control, but that was only because she did not have full control over her angelic instincts. She was usually very kind to everyone.
‘Yup, yup. My darling is the literal epitome of an angel!’
That was not an understatement since her body was now closer to that of an angel.
Kang-Woo sternly said, “Iris. I know what my darling did to you, but I think your attitude is a bit much.”
“S-Sir Kang-Woo...”
“People would think my darling is a monster or something if they didn’t know any better.”
“I apologize.” Iris lowered her head in dejection.
“Listen carefully, Iris. My darling is more beautiful, kinder, and more gentle than anyone el—”
Clack. Han Seol-Ah entered the room.
“Oh, Kang-Woo. I see you were with Iris.”
Rip! Smash!
Kang-Woo tore his clothes that Iris was gripping without hesitation and rolled backward to widen the distance from her. He rolled back so quickly that a chair and desk in his path split in two.
“Kang-Woo?”
“Hi, darling.”
Kang-Woo smiled brightly and embraced Seol-Ah. He kissed her cheek and turned his head toward Iris.
“Anyway, do you see it now? There’s no reason at all for you to be scared of or avoid darling. Understood.”
Kang-Woo’s hands around Seol-Ah’s waist were trembling. Seeing that, Iris nodded reluctantly.
“I understand,” she answered lifelessly.
