Chapter 13: Alice? Beelzebub?

Leaving the Demon King City, there is still some time until 12.00 a.m., and I am ready to wander around here.

As I walked around, I saw a skill shop, and when I walked in, I saw a lot of skill scrolls.

The boss is an old woman in a cape, and she looks a little scary.

"Uh-hehe-hehe, welcome, what help do you need?"

"Ahaha, old woman, let me ask, what is the main business of this shop?"

"Buying and selling skills, entrusting the search."

I looked at some of the skills I didn't use on my panel, and I decided to sell some.

"Old woman, you can see a price for these skills."

"Claw of Destruction, Magic Drive, etc."

In addition to my usual use, there are also passive skills, and I sold most of the active skills I gained after leveling up.

"Hey, hey, thank you for your patronage, a total of 6 gold coins, all of which are some good skills."

"Not for me."

"So do you want to see other products?"

That's when I turned back to my mind, this is a skill shop, and there are a lot of stronger skills.

So I sold all the active skills that came with the equipment, except for the skills that came with the equipment.

With the gold in hand, I began to choose new skills.

"Physical Absorption and Magical Absorption"

[Physical Absorption]: After use, it forms a shield that can absorb physical damage, and the limit is your own HP

[Magic Absorption]: After use, it forms a shield that can absorb magic damage, and the limit is its own MP

"The guest officer has good eyesight, these two skills sell you 6 gold coins."

[Rapid Combo]: Inflict momentary stiffness and power damage on enemies with extremely fast continuous hits for five seconds. The damage of the final blow is 3 times the sum of strength, agility, and luck

"This is good, I bought it."

In this way, I spent all the gold coins I got from selling my skills, so to speak, five for three.

"But it's not a loss."

The time came to twelve o'clock in the morning, and according to the agreement, I came to the outer city of [Hell City].

The demon king is not far from the outer city.

"Lord Demon King? How are you here. ”

The Demon King was the same as before, wearing heavy armor and helmet in black and red.

After a pause, the Demon King removed his helmet, revealing his long blond hair.

At this time, I realized that the demon king in front of me was very similar to the princess of the Bilan Empire.

"Human, I am the person you are looking for, in your body, I feel the power of that negative man, but I also feel the breath of my daughter, I will give you time to explain now."

With a sigh, I told her all about it as it was.

After listening to my explanation, Alice looked up to the sky and laughed.

"This negative man actually abandoned us and died."

β€œ........ Teenager, do you want to hear my story? ”

I nodded, and Alice began to tell her story.

Back then, after Gabai was brought back to the divine realm, Alice has been looking for a way to reach the divine realm, and as you can imagine, the collapse and painful emotions make her body weaker and weaker day by day.

Finally, a few days after giving birth to her daughter, her body could no longer bear it, and she died. After her death, because her feelings reached the extreme of grief, her soul finally came to the [City of Hell].

During her time in the City of Hell, her soul wandered around and eventually met her former Demon King.

With his help, Alice saw Gabe, and after knowing that Gabai was tried, she stayed in the ruins of the temple and never thought of looking for them, which can be said to be a complete escape.

In the end, Alice, who was completely disappointed in Gabai, signed a contract with the previous demon king, and because of her extreme feelings, she became the next demon king.

"Actually, it's not that Gabai doesn't want to look for you."

"You know what!"

Alice burst out with a strong aura, and I continued.

"I already knew when he gave me the power, after the trial, the divine realm will send people to check every day, if he goes down to look for you, it will only hurt you!"

The aura was recovered by Alice, and neither of them spoke again at this time, and the atmosphere began to be awkward.

"Object, he didn't go to you, you didn't go to him, you guys are half a pound."

Pandora in her hand changed back into a human form without my consent.

"Say no, you are all representatives of laziness, escapism, irresponsibility and waste of time!"

"As long as one of you is willing to act, you won't be like this."

Alice began to roar.

"Action! How to act! How do I go to him! Why can't he come to me?! ”

Not to be outdone, Pandora shouted.

"You can find Gabai through the Demon King, why don't you ask him for help!"

Alice began to pause, shivering and staying where she was.

"Why are you all like this, why don't you act, why do you have to blame others for not acting."

I'm starting to feel that something is wrong, Pandora is in the same situation now as she was when she last fought the Goblin King.

Sure enough, a strange feeling flowed into my body, and the same system prompt sounded as last time.

"Pandora's emotions have been perceived."

"The emotions of the host [night] have been perceived."

"Start [Harmony]."

"Whether to activate [Infinite Possibilities]."

The same panel as last time, the same sound as last time, I clicked OK.

"The host approves the initiation, and the execution begins."

"After the execution, congratulations to the host for unlocking the skill [Seven Sins] skill."

Open the skill panel, and the second skill of [Seven Sins] is unlocked.

[Lazy Time]: Stop the opponent for 5 seconds, and the time increases with the level. Increases by one second every ten levels.

Closing the panel, he looked at Alice, who was smiling and slumping.

"Human, Gabai is in your body now."

I nodded, and Alice, as if determined, closed her eyes and recited a spell.

Alice's body slowly faded into black dots of light and entered my body.

"Return to the Bilan Empire, find my daughter, and unlock the secrets of the music box, which will contain props that will guide you on your next path."

Alice disappeared completely, and Pandora stood there silently.

"Pandora......

Without reply, Pandora turned back into a pistol and never spoke again.

With a sigh, I returned to the Bilan Empire.

After entering the palace and explaining everything to the king, and with his permission, I went to the princess's bedchamber.

"Oops I'll go, the first time I went to a girl's room, excited! yes! Perfect! ”

There was a knock on the door, and the princess opened it.

The princess's room is the same as in a fairy tale, European style, with a huge bed and a lot of dolls.

"Yes, girly fragrance, yes!"

The princess seemed to remember something, and said with a courtesy.

"I'm so sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm the princess of the Bilan Empire, Alice."

"Alice?!"

"Yes, Grandpa gave me my mother's name in honor of my mother. Then again, Warrior, my mom ......"

After telling her what had happened, tears welled up in Princess Alice's eyes.

Slowly approaching me, she buried her head in my chest.

"I'm so sorry, please allow me to stay like this for a while."

"It's okay, if it relieves your pain a bit......."

Princess Alice hugged me tightly, and I could feel her shiver in my arms and the anger that came out of her right handpistol.

"You have the breath of your father and mother......"

After some time, Princess Alice wiped away her tears.

"Thank you...... Well, listen to grandpa and say you need my help. ”

I took the music box out of my backpack and told her what her mom had said.

Taking the music box, Alice observed.

"Please give me a little time, I'll observe, and if you're tired, please sit on my bed and rest."
