L019 ◇ Eve of awakening

It's really nice to have power, that feeling that you can kill people with a single movement, looking down on all beings all the time, and it's so beautiful that it's addictive.

I floated in mid-air like a ghost, faced with two surprised faces. These two expressions please me very well, the method of using this power has been transmitted from the other world, I don't have to be afraid of Ruruti changing his face all the time like before, as long as I reach out and pinch it gently, his neck will be broken by my power...... Huh? Already broken?

Well, it doesn't matter, if you're dead, you're dead.

The force that I could control at will let Ruruti go, and Ruluti tilted his head and fell. I did feel my strength, but I didn't do anything after that, just robbed the fat man's gem, took the guy's belongings, and left the nightmare town.

I went to another town and used the money I had stolen from the fat man to buy some clothes, some food, and a magic igniter. I'm familiar with the prices of these things, and every time I roll down the street, I always see the price tags written by several shops, and no one can scam me out of an extra copper coin. I know better which of these clothes are expensive but superficial, and which ones are really warm; In the previous town, it was easy to tell by the abandoned clothes worn by beggars.

After returning the demonic power to the demon, eating and drinking enough to clothe and sleep warmly, I left the town and set off for the south with my luggage on my back.

"That's all? Is that enough?"

Well, that's enough.

"What about your hatred? Isn't the purpose of your gaining my power to get revenge?"

Oh that, the person I hate is Ruluti, haven't I already broken my neck?

"So you don't need to vent your anger?"

What is venting? I don't need it?

"......" The demon was silent for a long time before he said, "Defeated to you, you are such a strange human."

Then the jewel which I had hidden in the placket of my chest floated up on its own, and the sharp point cut through my neckline, and at some point it broke off the chain holding the jewel in place, and it drifted farther and farther away alone. I was about to chase after it, but the gem shone a black, but for some reason, blind, light, and I had to shield it with both hands, until the light was gone, and a very muscular figure appeared in front of me.

It stands to reason that I should be subconsciously wary of a man suddenly appearing in front of me. But the aura that swams around me like a hellish flame made me understand that this is the power I used not long ago, and this person is the demon.

"If I'm not mistaken, you probably have a lot of snow blindness, follow me, and I can take you out of this snow country."

「……?」

Snow blindness? Do I have one? Why don't I feel it?

The demon grinned, "Haha, foolish little ghost, don't be embarrassed."

It occurred to me in an instant that the demon was giving himself a reason to shelter me. I nodded hurriedly, keeping up with the figure of the demon turning and leaving. It's great to be able to have this demon, the demon must be the kindest race in the world!

The demon paused for a moment and withdrew his smile, "The kindest race in the world? No, no, no, demons are all heinous races, and only the fallen are willing to be in the company of demons. And all the actions of the demon depend on the mood, if you are happy, eat a few people, if you are unhappy, destroy a city, almost every action is inseparable from killing, if you are bored, you will even destroy the contract and swallow the person who signed the contract with him."

...... swallow the people who signed the pact with him?

"But why didn't you eat me, demon? I didn't even receive the previous payment."

The demon's steps paused, and he muttered to himself, "Why...... Why is that......

Then the demon ignored me, and he didn't respond when I called him. The demon was tall, taller than the two of me combined, and at this time he had his back to me, his legs were long, and every step was so big that I had to trot every now and then to keep up with him, and I couldn't see his expression at all.

The demon's hair was long, curly dark red hair draped over his strong back, and there were some strands of hair in his hair that glowed red as if he were breathing, just like the "magma crystals of the underworld" that those travelers bragged about when they bragged in the square, and the black rocks glowed orange and yellow like they breathed, and the mere look was mysterious.

The demon's back was wide, but not empty, and the black bone spurs on its spine protruded from under the skin and out of the curls like some kind of fish fin, each protruding bone spur that connected to form a beautiful curve...... The line stretched a little to the buttocks, and the last thing that appeared was a black, slender tail with only bones left.

The demon didn't wear a shirt, only some black unknown runes mixed with twisted lines that coiled like flames entrenched over the demon's upper body; And the lower half of his body is very strange, obviously the upper half of the body is a white-skinned humanoid, but the lower half of the body is the curved legs of the beast clan, like the soles of the snow wolf, and there are fine fur like hair covering it, no one will think that these hairs are fake.

What's even stranger is that the dark red hair has the same patterns on the upper body tattoos, and I don't understand why the patterns in the dark red hair can still be seen clearly.

Maybe he wasn't allowed to ask for a shirt at all, it looked cold in the snow, but when he got closer, he could feel the smell of sulfur lingering in the furry places of the demon's body, and the heat that seemed to burn the skin, in fact, the demon didn't need clothes at all.

But why doesn't the snow around the place where the demon walks melt into water? It's weird.

The demon has a lot of muscles, and the muscles are very strong, and they look very strong just by looking at it. The demon's feet were huge, his hands were large, the tips of his fingers were dark red claws, and I snuck a little at it, and the tips of my nails easily cut a long wound in my hand, and almost cut the cuffs.

It's good that it's winter. I bent down and scooped up some pieces of snow and rubbed them on the wound, which immediately froze and froze unconscious.

The demon was too tall for me to make out his face, but I noticed that there were two bison-like horns on the top of his head, growing out of the long, pointed ears and bending towards the sky. The black horns end in a little red, and there are metal rings hanging from the strange shapes of the horns that seem to be holding back.

"Good, heavy......

The demon finally reacted, "What?"

"No, it's not ......."

……?

…… Hey? Wait a minute? Do demons read minds? It seems that every time you think about it, the devil knows it.

"Poof—" The demon laughed when he suddenly knew something funny, "I said you're so slow, did you just find out I can read minds?"

"Eh, eh? Can demons read other people's hearts?"

Demon: "No, only those who have been possessed by me can be read by me."

Did I use your power to be considered possessed by you?

Demon: "That's right."

The ......, "Can I know your name, demon?" I've heard that demons are a very large race, right? Everyone must have their own name, right? The same must be true of the demon race. Can I know the name of the demon?"

"I...... ......

"Hmm!" I nodded my head.

"Just ......," the demon pondered for a moment, "call me Brahman."

Good!

"Brahma!" (To be continued.) )
