Playing the Perfect Fox-Eyed Villain Chapter 224

Episode 224. Ominous Will (1)

Demon God Barbatos.

There are some people who are startled just by hearing this guy's name.

That would be the case.

In the past, he was the king of demons who was barely killed by the sacrifice of countless heroes and nations. His remains still curse the land and are the cause of the disasters called 'demons' spreading throughout the world.

‘Why is this here… … .’

The remains of the demon Barbatos are originally located at the northern end. This is because that is where Barbatos met his end.

'Fortunately, it's not the whole body.'

It may be a blessing in disguise, but the only bone in sight of the giant 'demon' before our eyes is its 'head'.

I approached, looking at the giant 'goat' head that usually comes to mind when people think of the devil.

Gulp.

Angelica looked at the 'head of the demon' and seemed to be telling me not to approach, but I ignored her and approached her.

===

⇒ Trait, “Master of the Vessel” prevents Barbatos’ interference.

===

The fate of the villains who wish for the resurrection of the 'Mashin', as it is a state that deviates from the characteristic of the 'Demon King's Vessel', even if they approach the 'head', nothing special happens.

'It would not be an exaggeration to say that the lingering thoughts that lingered in this head have already disappeared.'

At best, he is a piece of trash who can only find the 'vessels' and give signals to kill the 'Geomseong', the nemesis of the 'Demon King'.

'And horns.'

Even the five horns that should be on the head of the 'Mashin' do not exist.

'Horn' is the power of the demon.

The heart and driving force of the demon.

Without it, no matter how much of a 'demon' you are, you will be relegated to being just a normal demon.

'Who are you?'

I looked at Barbatos' head and looked into his eye sockets.

Now, with the passage of time, only bones remained.

“Who brought you here?”

There was no answer to my question. Of course, I thought that if it was 'Dasin', he would react somehow.

"hmm?"

At that moment, a faint light began to shine from the 'Snow Rabbit Ring' that was in his bosom.

The light began to point towards the eyes of 'Barbatos'. Then, something in the eyes began to vibrate as if it was resonating with the ring.

If I hadn't brought the 'ring', there wouldn't have been this reaction.

'Is Milena hiding something?'

With that thought in mind, I stretched out my hand towards the faint light.

'shit.'

I hope nothing surprising comes out of it?

Usually when you put your hand into one of these creepy bones, something weird pops out!

'hmm?'

As I grumbled to myself and waved my hand, something caught my hand.

'This is… … .'

When I took it out and checked, it was a thick book that reacted with the 'ring'.

'That's what Milena left behind.'

If anyone gets here with the 'ring', take it out and check it.

'You said you gave this ring to Oben, right?'

Does that mean you hid the book because you wanted Oben to take it out?

To write down the secrets related to this 'Head of Barbatos', or to ask for them to be revealed.

[To my beloved Yulian.]

But the moment I read the first verse, I was sure that this 'ring' was not given to Oben.

***

I continued to read through the journal. At first, I was shocked by the words, ‘To my beloved Yurian,’ and quickly turned the page, but the content that followed was a brief study on ‘Demon.’

'It does help, though.'

One of the things I figured out here is that I have figured out how to get Angelica back into my body, albeit briefly.

That alone makes it worth coming here.

The first time he mentioned my name, it was a bit shocking that he greeted me as if he knew I would come here.

'hmm?'

So, as I sat down and continued reading Milena's journal, I noticed something strange.

'Ominous will.'

On this page too.

Also on the next page.

In Milena's journal, something called an 'ominous will' was mentioned repeatedly.

I turned the page, tilting my head to wonder what on earth this was.

[By the time I was able to read the memories engraved on Mana, I realized that there was an 'ominous will' at work in this world.]

Since it was a word I heard for the first time, I couldn't help but have doubts.

I could understand to some extent the research on 'Demon' described by Milena, as well as her personal views on sorcery.

[Throughout all ages, memories have been accumulated in 'Mana'. How surprising it would be if the world knew that this was not the first time.]

This world is not new.

Doesn't that mean we're talking about 'turns'?

'If you could know Mana's memories, you could see that far ahead?'

As if that weren't possible, unless it was a repeater like 'Kaldrak d'Adratan' said.

[One more surprising fact. The ominous will mentioned earlier is that it mentions the era, and one will definitely appear.]

Once again, the 'ominous will' mentioned.

[Those who are overlaid with the 'ominous will' lose their original memories. Then, they are said to act in ways they normally wouldn't, with alien memories.]

I kept turning the pages.

[If an 'ominous will' appears in the world, the 'Demon King' begins to move in response.]

I continued turning the pages without thinking about how Milena knew the title 'Demon King'.

[As the Queen of Thorns, I must pluck out all the sprouts of the 'Mashin'. The Demon King, and his sinister will, must all be erased from the world.]

When I think about whether it is right to continue reading the diary like this,

[Oven Craiphart, you stupid noble bastard.]

A swear word suddenly came out of nowhere.

'… … Did you write down the day you first met Oben?'

Maybe it's something like that.

At first glance, Oven Kreifart seemed like a nice guy, but inside he was something of a far cry from being an ordinary person.

[An imperial noble I met in the North, North Pole. He's really stupid. I saved him when he was stranded, and he got stranded again while trying to find me.]

I snickered and laughed.

[This time I fell off a cliff. Stop it, you idiot!]

He looks upset because his handwriting is slightly crooked.

[He gave me a bunch of valley lilies. That's why I kept falling off the cliff. Idiot.]

Fortunately or unfortunately, the sharp writing gradually began to soften.

It seems like Oben's stupid behavior is starting to work for him little by little.

For a while, all that was written in Milena's journal was stories about Oben.

He is serving as a commander in the North Pool and is receiving training to become the successor to the Cryphat family, one of the four great families.

He's stupid, but he doesn't seem like a bad person.

Eventually, you got married and entered the system.

There were a lot of stories like that written down.

'I wondered why the journal was so thick.'

It seems there was enough content to fill it up.

Feeling a little relaxed, I called out to 'Angelica'.

The goal is to return Angelica's body to its former state, as per the research method written in the journal.

“Come here.”

As the guy who responded to my words approached, I gestured for him to wait a moment.

'When the northern sorcerers use magic, they breed it in one of the mana blood wells, right?'

If you do that, it's one of the mana bloods.

It is said that the 'small blood vessel' can be made into a passage through which demons can enter.

Of the 32 small blood vessels, sacrificing one isn't all that fatal. Thinking so, I lightly cut the inside of my left arm with my sword.

'Ugh… … .'

The place where the injury occurred now is the 'active line', which is closest to the heart among the 32 small blood vessels.

The wound was made to pour it directly there.

'As expected, it really hurts to hurt someone directly.'

There was also a slight hesitation. If I let 'Angelica' flow like this, it would be problematic if 'Mashinseong' and 'Vessel' had a resonant reaction like before.

'Then, let's drain the mana one more time.'

If it doesn't work, you can just go through the same process again. It was painful enough to kill me.

Gulp.

When I pointed to the injured area with my chin, Angelica leaned against it with a worried look on her face.

“No, I meant to adapt to that mana blood. I meant to not heal wounds!”

When I raised my voice a little because it was so absurd, Angelica showed an embarrassed expression. After that, Angelica started to adapt to the 'live wire'.

“Ugh…….”

At first, a hot pain was transmitted through the blood vessels, but it gradually began to die down before reaching the heart.

After that, even though Angelica was attached to my body, there was no 'excruciating pain' like before.

'With this, something like what happened the other day won't happen again.'

As expected, the 'Northern Shamans' seem to have their own know-how in handling magic.

I was at a loss, and was racking my brain, but I didn't know there was such an easy way.

===

⇒ You have acquired a new trait, “Junior Demonic”.

===

Semi-demonic

Perhaps, a fragment of the power of the holy relic 'Mashinseong' that Angelica absorbed has taken root as a 'trait'.

Seeing this, it seemed certain that the same thing would never happen again.

'Milena's journal was helpful.'

It was receiving the 'Snow Rabbit Ring' from Orun that created this opportunity.

“That damn guy has his share of things to be thankful for… hm?”

Just when I thought my evaluation of the right had improved a little, the last page of the diary I was reading absentmindedly caught my eye.

[The fruit of our love.]

The fruit of love.

Did you write down the story of your love affair with that person? If so, it might be a little awkward to read.

[Yurien.]

I hesitated for a moment. The moment I turned the page and read the next sentence, my mind was filled with confusion. It was a shock that made my pathologically squinted eyes open slightly.

[My son, Yurian, also has an ominous will.]
