7th Demon Prince Jilbagias’ Chronicle of Demon Kingdom Toppling Chapter 98.1 - Sign And Premonition

98.1 Sign And Premonition

「――That's strange」

Enma spoke with an expressionless face, almost to the point of horrifying.

「If I'm not wrong, it's been two months since you slayed Faravugi, right?」

—"And I don't think a patriarch class soul will be dispersed so easily." Added her in murmur.

「Excuse for a second.」

Enma stood beside , and then started to knead a disgusting, stickier, and muddier magical power of darkness that couldn't be compared to mine.

「【――Co, Faravugi.】」

Enma's muddy, creepy hands of the magical power of darkne―― Oh screw the hands part, it looks more like feelers alright, went into the gate opened before .

「… Strange. I feel nothing at all.」

「I guess I know the reason for this.」

This was one of the rare occasions in which Enma looked curiously at .

「Hee? Care to explain?」

「The truth is, he said sothing like 『I don't care even if my soul has vanished 』 while using sothing that looked like a trump card of the magical power of light…」

I spoke with a triumphant face―― It felt refreshing since I didn't tell any lies.

「A~h」 Said Enma while tapping her forehead.

「Surely. Since it's the light attribute that counters the darkness attribute, it won't be strange if it has so sort of art that uses its' user soul as fuel!」

If the soul is damaged to that extent due to overusing magic――Then it is only natural for the soul to be dispersed faster than usual.

「I wish you would have told about it before!」

Enma patted my shoulders as if scolding .

「My bad. I an, I beheaded him before he got the chance to do sothing.」

… This is the truth. I'm just ssing around with the chronological order.

「Uhm… I know how you feel but…」

「And despite what you say, Master, you actually saying sothing along the lines of wanting to do sothing with Faravugi.」

Claire hopped into our conversation, taking my side. Tapping my shoulder in an overly familiar manner on the place that just got tapped by Enma.

「I an, it never ca to to use him as teaching material for His Highness until then.」

「… Well even then, there's a high chance that it might be already too late.」

Enma heaved a sigh in disappointnt.

「Darn it, I was looking forward to toying around with Faravugi's soul for the rest of the day and didn’t prepare any other material!」

Hell yeah, no lesson today.

「But still, aren't you actually really powerful for soone of your age, Jil-kun? I an, you even forced the dragon's patriarch to use a forbidden art.」

「… Honestly, I also have no idea what the other party is thinking about back then.」

I replied curtly. Though I could say sothing like 『We might be able to get information if you summon him back then』, there was a saying that 『Simple is the best.』, is no need for flowery words.

I an, I've never told her any lies, better not dig my own grave. Your mouth is a source of trouble―― So I would rather shut my mouth before I regret it.

Thus, the lesson was canceled.

「Uhoho~i!」

Sofia who rushed into the reference room at once was the most delighted of this. Still, hasn’t her attitude and speech beco kinda sloppy after the drunken incident? Was she alright?

「――Oh right, you might've to wait for a while for the next lecture.」

In the middle of explaining about the cursed tool she planned to use to restrain Faravugi, Enma suddenly said so as if she just rembered about it.

「Ho, and the reason?」

「I've to do so errand at the frontline.」

My shoulders flinched upon hearing such a casual remark.

―― Enma is known as the 『Doll Creator』 a really long ti ago, right?

Could it be that her errand was to fight? Was the Demon King Army by chance, experiencing lack of manpower?

「What's with the long face? I'm not going to fight, it's to dispose of the corpses.」

Enma spoke boredly while waving her hands in the air.

「By disposing of the corpse, does that an Enma is going for recruitnt?」

「It's not like this is the first ti. Well, I'm happy that you overestimated alas…」

「I'm going too~.」

Claire who read the grimoire while resting her hand on the armrest of the chair had also waved her hands in boredom.

It seems the reason why Claire was tagging along was because this was her first job, and Enma's job was to supervise her subordinate.

「It's simply because I'm the only lich with a peerage and have the qualification of a commander.」

「I see…」

Corpse disposal had always been the biggest worry on the battlefield. Firstly because we had to spare manpower for that job, and it's a job that lowers morale, yet it'll beco a source of plague if it was left alone.

At this point, it was much easier if the corpses―― Could move on their own.

「Do we have to go that far for the corpse?」

I an, going as far as mobilizing a necromancer squad when most of the corpses were human…

「The squad led by your big brother, His Highness Ergias captured the fort with gusto.」

「… Hee, is my brother getting ahead of himself?」

「I don't think so. I've heard that it was just his usual tactic.」

… That's strange. The current Demon Kingdom's policy should be taking our ti and advancing slowly right?

And I don't think the Demon King would allow Ergias to go in a hurry just for military achievent. Does that an… There was another reason? Due to dical treatnt, the information on the battlefield often ca much later…

「Is sothing the matter? You seem to be―― Impatient.」

Enma teased with a huge grin on her face.

「Naturally. This ans that my brother is taking another step further.」

I slapped my face while replying with a safe answer.

「This is sothing that I've been wondering since before but…」

Enma suddenly closes the distance. Too close, your face is too damn close.

「Are you by chance―― Wanting to beco the Demon King?」

… Dammit, no beating around the bush huh.

「I'll leave that to your imagination.」

I an, I've never even told my siblings about my real intention. So telling Enma was out of the question.

「I'm… Really happy if you want to beco the Demon King. You're the one who understands the most after all.」

Said Enma with a huge grin on her face. Just like how I hid my goal, she also didn't say her intention to support directly.

Well, it was the sa as both of us saying our intention anyway.

†††

The lesson ended after teaching about a few cursed tools.

Man, today's lecture was really useful. I an, the main lesson might have gotten canceled but I've co to learn about how to use all kinds of shady magic in necromancy.

And among them, enchantnt was the most useful one. I've so misunderstanding about that magic since the dwarf uses that like no tomorrow for crafting a weapon.

Mystery of magic, restricted lineage magic or ability, or Divine Miracle―― Magic wasn't sothing that relied on those.

… And yet, when it cos to the perspective of necromancy, enchanting was the kind of magic that gives magic called 『Soul』 into goods called『Corpse』.
