The Baby Raising A Devil
/ The Baby Raising A Devil Chapter 117
Chapter 117
TL: Zimming
I quickly pushed Isaac, who was looking at me.
Gwang—!
“What is it?”
Surprised by the sudden sound, people looked around.
“Is it thunder?”
“That's ridiculous. It's not raining, what thunder…”
My family found the source of the sound, but they seemed to see nothing.
I stared at the man in the air.
'What's that weird thing?'
The man's eyebrows went up, like he understood me.
At that moment, I remembered a summoner I saw in Vallua's secret warehouse.
'Is it a devil?'
[There you are, foolish creature!]
A thunderous roar was heard.
'I knew it!'
I bit my lips tightly.
The fact that the devil is here must have meant that Vallua resummoned the devil aiming at me or my family.
My family couldn't see the devil. Even if they are aware of it, they will not be able to fight against the devil.
That means I have to protect them.
'But I can't use magic.'
It is forbidden to use magic in the imperial palace without the emperor's permission.
If that happens, I'll be in trouble.
I grab the nogak in my arms.
And I gave a very small amount of divine power.
Just then,
'What? Why isn't it responding?'
I added divine power again, but there was still no response.
'Is it not the real thing?'
But I felt the same force inside the jewel like Boone's and Pymon's.
In addition, if this is a regular jewel, there is no reason why the church would go so far to get their hands on this jewel.
There was once again a spark in the devil's hand.
Now the devil looked at my father.
“No!”
I screamed in front of my dad.
As soon as I made a barrier, something like a ball of fire flew towards us.
Gwang gwang gwang—!
My barrier and the power of the devil clashed.
“Leblaine!”
My aunt came running in surprise.
“What are you doing? Magic in the Imperial Palace is…!
“Don't come here!”
“What?”
“Stay back, please!”
It seemed that my barrier would be broken soon. It feels like my whole body is on fire.
I knew as soon as that devil's power collided with my barrier.
I can never beat that devil.
Gwang—!
“Argh!”
Unable to overcome the difference in power, I was thrown back, and my family ran while shouting, “Leblaine!”
Being thrown into a wall, I groaned and crouched. I tried to get up quickly, but my legs didn't move properly. I grabbed the communications device in my pocket.
“What happened…kid…”
Isaac looked at me in surprise.
I looked at the devil and said,
“I'm going to kill you. If you touch these people, I'm going to kill you.”
[How could a mere human girl do that to me?]
The devil, who had an arrogant smile, gently landed on the floor and approached me. I pulled myself up.
“Even if I die a hundred times and survive, I will kill you. You…!”
The smiling devil raised his eyebrows.
[That's funny, kid. Now, which one should I kill to make you be more angry?]
The devil, who looked around my family slowly, looked at my father who was holding my shoulder with his knees bent.
[He looked desperate. Would it be painful for you if I kill him?]
The devil smiled scarily.
[Is he the most important person? Huh?]
I stood in the way of the devil and begged him.
“I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'll do everything. I'll do everything you say. Don't kill him. Please.”
My family was looking at me with a perplexed look on their faces, and my dad looked at me crying and begging.
“What's there?”
[They're humans with an excellent senses. No, is it intuition?]
It was when the devil aimed his sharp nails at his father's neck, something flashed in my hand.
'Stop it!'
Long-distance teleportation device came to mind, and the amesthyst, which the chairman had, was delivered into my hand.
I quickly lifted the amethyst.
[That…!]
'You think I'd just sit there and wait for death?'
As soon as I fell down before, I sent a signal to the chairman and waited for him to send me the amethyst.
Of course, now that I am very short of power due to the use of divine power to stop the devil, my life would be in danger if I called out the devil inside the amethyst.
But I know from my experience with Boone.
The
Amethyst was a very powerful passage. It is clear that this contained a powerful devil.
That means it could be a threat if devils meet something much stronger than them.
[Silly thing. I can read your thoughts…!]
'Then you know my intention. If I don't withdraw, I'll give up my life and call out the devil of the amethyst.'
The devil clucked his tongue.
But, after I said so, the devil retreated.
Then he flew back into the air with wings similar to those of an eagle. And soon disappeared.
'I, I thought I was going to die.'
When I relaxed my body, I finally felt the pain.
I didn't feel it before, but I think my head broke when I hit the wall. My forehead was full of blood.
“Dad…”
After I muttered, The imperial mage and the knights, who felt my magic ran towards us.
Clang!
The sword of the knights was aimed at me with a sharp sound.
The mages behind them tried to make a barrier.
“What are you doing? Get rid of it now!”
Isaac shouted, but the knights were still facing me.
I'm sure they were like this because I was a sinner who used magic in the palace.
A smile came to the Duke of Vallua's face when he heard the news from his lieutenant.
Laughing loudly, he lightly put his glass on the table.
“Yes, the girl was provoked.”
“The Dubbled's are moving desperately to save her. But it will be impossible.”
It is regrettable that the girl did not die in front of Theodore's eyes, but it was rather good to hear that she was in prison.
The use of magic in the imperial palace was a felony equivalent to treason.
There will be an investigation to reveal her purpose. There is no way that a child can withstand the torture of the knights, so it will be either death or false confession.
“If it happened, I'll be able to destroy what's precious in Dubbled.”
The Duke of Vallua smiled and looked at Hayton Vallua in the corner.
“Aren't you glad, son?”
“I'm asking you.”
“What?! Yes…….yes…that's right.”
Hayton held his pale face with his trembling hands.
'Crazy…this is crazy!'
He had noticed something was going on underground since he was a child, but this was the first time he actually witnessed it.
'My father is crazy.'
Calling out creatures that wasn't human was more sinful than what the Dubbled's adopted daughter did.
Right there and then, Hayton, who is smarter than his peers, knew.
This is a ritual that requires human sacrifices.
But where did he have all those human sacrifices?
'If it's kidnapping or trafficking, our family is…I….'
Hayton bit his lips
Standing next to him, Niel looked at his father with eyes full of fear.
“Brother…”
“Don't say anything about this.”
“But…”
Niel looked around with frightened eyes and whispered to Hayton.
“Where is mother?”
“They said she was never out, yet no matter how many times I look for her…”
“Honey……! Aghh, William Vallua! I'm gonna curse you! You, you……!!”
Hayton's face was getting grim.
I stuck my hand out of the prison bars and said.
“Please give me food.”
“Food, please!”
The knight who guard the prison looked at me with a perplexed look.
“You're the only sinner who eats three meals a day and snacks.”
“But my dad told me not to starve.”
“Daddy. My dad. Duke of Dubbled.”
“I'll bring it to you…”
During my two days in prison, I ate well and slept well. The imperial palace meal is delicious, and the blanket is quite thick. The pillow was so soft that I slept well.
'This is the advantage of having power.'
The palace seems to be trying to do everything by procedure, but as soon as I was tied to a chair, I cried my eyes out and said,
“Huaaa! Dad! Aunt! Godmother! Empress Dowager! Huaaa! You guys are too much! Sir Rigel Couldern, 4th Division of the Imperial Knights! Count Couldern's little sister! She's alive. Two children! The child's name is…!”
When I said that, the person I mentioned before, who was charge of me turned pale and ran away.
As a result, the person in charge of me has already changed for the fourth time.
If I'm released, there's no way I'll let the guy who didn't treat me well go.
I sneaked out of the prison.
'Alright, no one's here.'
I quickly gave a bribe to the knight and went somewhere.
'I was so surprised yesterday that I couldn't do it properly, so now again…'
Then, I gave divine power into the nogak.
Gwang!
The prison suddenly shook.
After wind blew inside the prison, where there was no window, a pillar of fire came to view just like the time when I summoned Boone.
'What, it works!'
But why doesn't it work before?
[You finally called me. Nice to meet you. I am the 25th pillar, Glashalla Bol…you!!”
Me and the devil, who had eye contact, opened our mouths at the same time.
[You, you, you…!]
“Ah. That is why it didn't work before. “
I glared at the devil in front of me.
It's the devil that nearly killed me and my family before.
In embarrassment, he stuttered.
[Be, before I don't know what happened, oh, the words. Then, what do I… You know, I can't help it because of work…right? Work?]
“Okay. Can you just sit down and shut up?”
You're dead.
