‘What is he holding in his hand?’
It was not clearly visible, but it faintly glowed, resembling some sort of magic stone.
He’s not a mage but a swordsman, and he has a magic stone in the middle of an excessively strong and prolonged earthquake?
Tobias sensed it.
This man was the culprit.
(This is a time separator.)
“You’re going straight to the Demon King?!”
I’ve doubted my ears several times today.
Especially Hades, every time he opens his mouth, he says things that are unbelievable.
Hades stared at the altar in front of him.
The altar, the core of the temple, vibrated with a mysterious light.
“We can use this.”
I took a deep breath. Hades was right. The saying “opposites attract” held; only through the temple could we go to hell.
Isn’t it ironic that the place closest to hell is where the servants of the gods reside?
Leodel had his own reasoning as well.
Believers and demons are beings from worlds beyond that of humans, so they are naturally located nearby.
I looked at him.
“I guess… I should activate it.”
“If anyone can do it, it’s you.”
Hades was not cheering me on. He was merely stating a fact.
I took a moment to breathe deeply. Although a saintess, my sacred power is nothing special. But I was confident about this.
I laid my hand on the altar.
What the altar accepted was probably, more than me…
“Consider yourself lucky, you little master.”
Denesor raised his voice.
“If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t even be accepted.”
I didn’t respond to Denesor. Now was the time to focus all my energy on the upcoming battle with the Demon King.
A powerful light engulfed us in an instant, resonating with the altar and Denesor, and Hades and I were swept into it.
“Hades! Hades!”
The first thing I searched for when I came to my senses was, of course, Hades.
“Don’t worry, Angelica. It was a complete success.”
“So, this is…”
I looked around. I knew from the moment we arrived that we were in Hell, the world of the Demon King.
But acting too knowledgeable would make me look suspicious.
I couldn’t tell Hades Croitner the whole truth, and even if I did, he wouldn’t believe me. Faking a suitable reaction seemed like the best course of action.
“You’re right. It’s Tenheim.”
“……Yes, that was the name of hell.”
In truth, ‘hell’ was just a convenient term people used to refer to the demon lair. Its formal name was Tenheim. The Demon King was the ruler of Tenheim, and the demons were its citizens.
Not that there was a single human who officially recognized Tenheim as a nation.
I reverted to my original form as Denesor and immediately took a defensive posture.
“Stay still.”
Hades warned me.
“Don’t act recklessly.”
“But……”
“I’ll handle everything.”
I swallowed dryly. I had been persuaded to come this far by his forcefulness, but could Hades really defeat the Demon King?
Hades straightened his back and stood up. Already a large figure, he seemed even more imposing when he straightened up and looked forward.
I pursed my lips.
No matter how intimidating Hades was, danger was still danger. I wanted to run back and beg for help from Iscariel right now.
“Holy Maiden.”
It had been a long time since Hades called me by that title instead of my name.
“Give me the holy sword.”
“What?”
More defiant than me was Denesor.
“Hey, master! Don’t even think about handing me over to him. I recognize you, not this runt Croitner!”
I stammered.
“But, the holy sword… it’s refusing.”
“It won’t be able to refuse.”
Hades’ voice was flat.
“I’ve been trained to use the holy sword since I was a child. They said I was the first in our family in 100 years to have the qualifications. Becoming a Swordmaster is proof of that.”
“……”
Seeing Denesor fall silent, it seemed Hades had a point.
“Holy Maiden. Give me the holy sword.”
I hesitated, grabbing and releasing Denesor repeatedly.
Of course, I trusted Hades.
He had never coveted the holy sword before, and if he’s asking for it now, he must have a good reason.
What good would it do if I wielded the holy sword in front of the Demon King anyway?
The best course of action was to give the holy sword to Hades and hide myself as best as I could.
But……
‘Why did he bring me here in the first place?’
That was the one question left unanswered.
Hades was not the kind of person who would want to put me in danger. Handing over the holy sword would mean I’d lose all means of protecting myself. Even if I hid and defended myself, the chances of dying would skyrocket.
Yet, Hades kept asking for the holy sword, and that pointed to only one conclusion.
‘This person… is not Hades.’
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
