26. A curse destined to carry

It's been a long time.

The vision on Siefer's body faded.

dark lines on the skin dissipate; The cocoon-like bulge in the flesh and blood also shrank back; Black mist no longer comes out of his mouth.

At the end of the illness, Siefel straightened up with difficulty and returned to his seat.

The young man's neat tuxedo was already a mess, and it became slightly shiny because of the cold sweat that was clinging to his body. His face was haggard and pale, and a drop of sweat still hung on his hair.

Siefel knew that he had become ill again.

This is [Demonization], the curse brought about by the erosion of the Nine Hells.

The most holy, holy, and noble angelic heart, and the Nine Hells Space, which is forever whispering malice, are fighting against Siefer's body. Every time the disease occurs, severe pain and itching hit at the same time, destroying life and corrupting the mind.

This pain is something that Siefel has to endure every few days.

Today, however, the condition seems to be extremely serious, and the severe pain and itching are much more unbearable than before.

Siefel guessed that this was because he had already been the lord of the war wilderness, and the Nine Prisons had paid more attention to him, and the speed of dimensional erosion had accelerated.

He looked inwardly at his state.

[Race: Archdevil/Seraph]

[Level: 93]

[Status: Plane Erosion, Severe (Life Expectancy: 100 Days)]

Life expectancy is shorter than last time!

"No, [Demonization] is getting worse, and we must run away as soon as possible." Siefel set himself a goal in his mind.

"Your Excellency?" Lulu cautiously approached Siffer.

To Sephiel, who was suffering excruciously on the earth,

She sympathized with her, but she was also worried that the lord would be annoyed and angry because his subordinates saw her ugly appearance.

"I'm sorry, Miss Lulu. Let you see my embarrassment. Siefel barely managed to squeeze out a smile, and his voice was weak:

"It's a curse I carry, and it strikes every now and then."

Lulu bowed her head slightly:

"Siefer-sama, do you need me to find a way to lift the curse for you?"

"No, I don't." Siefel squeezed out a smile, waved his hand, and said meaningfully:

"This is a curse that I am destined to carry."

Opposite the bronze table, the young man's face was pale, but his tone was calm and unwavering.

"Okay, I'm fine. Everything went according to plan! ”

···················

Soon after.

In a ceremony room that spans several square miles of massive basalt fortresses, there is a magnificent chant that seems to transcend time and space.

One by one, the happy devils took turns to enter the ceremony room and accept their own promotion ceremony.

They were all members of Siefer's new court staff.

Lulu is one of them.

"Enter, Lord Lulu, the path to Ascension to the Supreme is open for you."

Lulu bowed her head lightly and walked into the ceremony room with trepidation.

"It's a pity that I haven't had a chance to show off in front of Dellin for the time being."

All the misfortunes and melancholy of the past dissipated, and Lulu pushed open the door,

With endless joy and a lot of hope for the future.

···

By consuming soul energy, the devil will complete his promotion in a dark ritual.

This ascension is usually accompanied by a radical change of form, and at the climax of a terrifying ritual, the devil is completely reborn into a new, more evil and powerful form.

However, under Sifer's arrangement. No matter what kind of strange guys these newly recruited devils were originally, after completing the promotion, they all existed in human form.

Everyone looks good, isn't it fragrant?

Moreover, in the future "Dawn" game, there may be a need for customer service with the player's video, and the player can't always find out that the "customer service lady" is a giant beast with goat horns, donkey hooves, red skin, and scales all over her body, right?

20 demons, including Lulu, have been promoted in the lord's fortress.

In the next room, Siphiel observed the movement of the ink on the Book of Lords.

[Soul Energy: 90,000]

This promotion consumed a total of 200,000 units of soul energy!

Excluding the "cash" that exists in the form of soul coins and soul gems, which is difficult to supervise and count, the last 90,000 units of flowing soul energy in the territory remain.

But Siefel also knew that during this time, there would be many devils who would be deposed and demoted.

In the process of demoting this batch of devils, there is definitely a lot of soul energy released!

It seems that the glorious task of consuming this batch of soul energy is about to be handed over to the player!
