This is a space located under a noble mansion in the royal capital. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There was no light in the space, it was very dim, only a light was burning, providing a small view that could barely see what was going on.

And in this space, on the ground in the center, a young man is lying.

It was a young man with a handsome face, without the slightest emotion on his face, like a puppet, and always with a straight face.

The young man was lying on the ground, although there was not a trace of emotion on his face, but there was a very strong laziness and tiredness in his eyes, as if he didn't want to do anything but just lie here and sleep, yawning.

But, in the next second, a rush of footsteps and a scream of rage rang out here.

"Max! Max! ”

With such a name, the basement door was forcefully opened.

The person who came in through the door was Ardup.

I saw that Aldup gasped for breath and rushed into the basement with a white face, as if his eyebrows had been burned.

"Babble...!"

The young man, who was called Max, suddenly seemed to be frightened, turned his head, looked at the door, and then greeted Aldup as if relieved.

"Hello, Aldup, I don't know why, you exude very attractive negative emotions from your body, are you here to invite me to dinner?"

Saying this, Max's face was still expressionless, and his tone was innocent, like a child who had not grown up, very simple.

However, looking at this innocent young man, Aldapu was angry.

"What are you doing there?! Useless Subordinate Demons! ”

-- "Demons".

It is a race that dwells in hell, feeds on people's negative emotions, specializes in deceiving and deceiving humans, extracts human values in the form of transactions and contracts, and is regarded as sinful by the gods.

Before, Fang Li killed a demon in seconds when the Demon King Army attacked the royal capital, and he was also a superior demon whose strength was second only to the cadres of the Demon King Army.

It can be seen that in hell, demons are also hierarchical.

Powerful demons are like Bagula, who is a superior demon, second only to the cadres of the Demon King Army in strength, and has the ability to lead the Demon King Army, and ordinary people can't match it at all.

Weak demons are like the low-level demons mentioned by Aldapu, as long as they are not novice adventurers and their level reaches level 20 or above, then there is a way to deal with them.

It is said that in hell, there are also seven hell dukes, who command all the demons in hell.

The seven demons, one by one, competed with the gods for the existence of the world in ancient times, and in terms of strength alone, it is even possible to surpass the demon king.

And Aldapu called the young man in front of him a low-level demon, and stepped forward directly, constantly kicking this demon hard.

"Get up! Get up for me! Something so big! How long are you going to lie down?! ”

"Bah! Creak! Don't kick me! I don't know anything! ”

Max, who was constantly kicked by Aldapp, could only hold his head and let out a strange scream.

This kind of behavior only fueled Ardapu's arrogance and made Ardapu kick harder.

"It's all you useless subordinate demon! Didn't you use your power to manipulate Her Royal Highness Alice and others to accept the artifact? Why can't even a rookie adventurer from a novice village be affected? I shouldn't have summoned you if I knew you were so useless! ”

Summoning Max out of hell, that was a long time ago.

Although demons are inhabitants of hell, they are not incapable of coming to earth.

After the summoning ceremony, the person can summon the demon and make a contract with him to grant his wish.

Of course, since the object is a demon, there is a price to pay.

This price can be one's own life, one's own soul, or even one's own future generations' service, depending on the weight of the desire.

The reason why Aldup summoned Max was not a formal summoning.

Rather, with Aldap's ability, there was no way to successfully summon demons.

Aldapu was able to summon demons by chance.

In fact, Aldap isn't just an artifact.

In addition to an artifact that can swap bodies, Aldapu also has an artifact that can summon monsters.

It's just that this summoning is random.

It was this artifact that Aldup used to summon Max and conclude a pact with him.

It is precisely because of Max's strength that Aldapu was able to get to where he is today, and did so many things as a traitor without being sanctioned.

Otherwise, there would not be such a nobleman who is inferior and unpopular.

The reason why Akua senses the power of evil and is so attached to it and can not be affected is because that power comes from demons.

Aldapu has been using demonic powers until now, and he has been at large until now.

"If it weren't for the fact that you could manipulate things and distort the truth, I would have abandoned you a long time ago!"

Aldapp kicked the demon in front of him with great fire.

"Hurry up and continue to use your power for me, and distort the memories of His Royal Highness Alice and the others who discovered the clues today, otherwise you don't want me to pay the price again!"

Using demonic powers to grant wishes naturally comes at a cost.

However, Aldap has never paid a single price so far, and has been using Max's abilities.

Just because, Max's memory is like a fish and a snake, and he will forget a lot of things after a while.

Aldup took advantage of this and has yet to pay the price.

This man is indeed not in the stream, but also inferior.

The person who has not paid the price once, but abuses the person who helps him achieve his wish like this, even if the other party is a demon, it is enough to see how good his character is.

"Bah! Creak! ”

Max could only hold his head and withstand the fierce kick from Aldup, screaming and replying like this.

"But... However, where you ask for power, there is a very strong light there, and even if you use it, you will be expelled, and..."

Before he could finish this sentence, a voice sounded outside the door.

"And you don't have a chance to use that power anymore."

With the sound of such a voice, the air around it changed.

It became heavy.

“――――！”

Ardup froze.

Outside the door, a murderous aura as sharp and cold as a blade blew in like a cold wind, instantly enveloping the audience.

Immediately after, a figure slowly appeared and walked in from outside the door.

The ice-blue magic eye exudes a terrifying luster like a low temperature below zero.
