Chapter 108 - Seeker of Wisdom and Destruction 2 (Side: Margus)
Within minutes of Margus leaving, the Ordy Monastery collapsed.
Margus’s hands sweat in excitement as he watched the scene.
Noticing the sweat being absorbed by Zolomonia’s wand, Margus hurriedly placed it on the ground and wiped his hands on his sleeve.
He wipes the sweat off his forehead as well. Then he reflects upon the joy that he has obtained Zolomonia’s wand.
“Ohhhhh, Zolomonia! Grant me that great wisdom!”
Margus picks up his wand, breathing hard.
“What a loud fellow”
Suddenly, a voice could be heard from behind Margus.
I turn around and see a blue-skinned child floating in the air.
Her white eyes were black and her pupils were golden. Its eyes reminded me of a terrifying demonic beast, not a person.
On his chest and waist, he wore a piece of cloth inscribed with a magic formula. She has a tattoo of a magic circle carved into her abdomen.
Black bird-like wings stretch from her back.
“Is, is it Zolomonia? No way, getting out of the wand……”
“That is not true. I am merely showing you, the owner of the staff, who is a mistress.”
Zolomonia shook her head and uttered this in human language.
It’s also easy to understand and speak in human language for a demon as high-ranking as Zolomonia.
If the rating of the Adventurer’s Support Center is adopted, Zolomonia’s danger level far exceeds the A-class.
Strength, wisdom, and magic. No matter which one of them, it’s not a dimension human can reach.
“First of all, let me thank you. It’s been a while since I’ve gotten out of that basement.”
Hearing those words, Margus’ expression glows.
But in contrast to that, Zolomonia wrinkles her forehead.
“But you’re being too familiar. Don’t be too sticky. And you shall call this mistress as Zolomonia-sama.”
“I’m-, I’m very sorry. The great demon of wisdom and destruction, Zolomonia-sama!”
Margus flattens his head to the ground and prostrates himself.
Zolomonia snickers at him.
“Well, that’s good…… hmmm, you. You have a certain amount of magical power for a mere human. I guess that’s a pass. Until this mistress’s seal is lifted, you shall be used as this mistress’s hands and feet. In return, I’ll lend you both this mistress’s wisdom and magic. How’s that, there is nothing more desirable for a sorcerer, right?”
“Ohhhh! What a waste of words! I am happy to see that the Great Demon is pleased with me!”
Margus blushes and looks up at Zolomonia in a kneeling position.
A mere mortal, serving the Great Demon, moving history, scarring the world and making a name for himself.
Nothing could make him happier as a sorcerer than that, Margus thought to himself.
“Kudor is…… still sleeping. Yes, yes, I’m afraid so. We have to get a move on before this nuisance wakes up.”
“Kudor? Could it be that Kudor god……”
“Stop rushing. Get it in order, and I’m going to tell you the history of the world… Mm, he’s close.”
Zolomonia spins around in the air and lands on the ground.
Then she gently meditates.
“Hey, you, do you have plans? If not, move south.”
“To, to the south, is it?”
“Yes. You can see the city farther south from here.”
“A city south of here…… Lugard? Malfilia?”
“No. More deeper.”
“Lomarn?”
“Yes, that’s it. Head there. The mistress’s old friend is hiding there for some reason. It’s well disguised, but as the demon of wisdom, they can’t fool this mistress’s clairvoyant eyesight. And I also sense a strange magic in that town, so I want to make sure.”
Zolomonia opened her eyes and chuckled.
A pair of double teeth peeked out of the corner of her mouth.
“Zolomonia-sama’s? So it’s the Great Demon! This Margus would love to meet him!”
“Hmm, that’s more like it. I’m just glad that the one who broke this mistress’s seal was someone like you, who knows how to talk.”
“I’m honored to hear that!”
Margus was completely buoyant.
Originally, Margus had led a life with few people who understood him, with a sultry devotion to witchcraft supremacy and a penchant for bad experiments and demonic beliefs.
By the age of five, he was already out of place around in his hometown, and when he was ten, his parents kicked him out of their home, believing that it would interfere with his sister’s marriage.
Even though he joined a slightly crazy organization, Margus was still far crazier than they were, so he’s out of place there as well and lived a life of longing for others.
This year, Margus will be twenty-eight years old, but he has never had a proper friend, let alone a lover.
Then the great demon Zolomonia, whom he had been admiring, says, “I’m glad it’s you”.
As an added bonus, Zolomonia’s incarnation, despite her juvenile appearance, had a beauty that looked as if it had been constructed by measuring her eyes and nose.
Margus was completely ruffled.
“But, Margus. Why did you use the petrification curse? That one takes too long to activate. Besides, with the simple formula, if you, the magician, take strong damage, the curse will be broken. If it’s analyzed, there’s a chance it will be broken.”
“To make my and Zolomonia-sama’s presence known! Those who have had their people petrified shall seek to break the curse after me! And I, with the help of Zolomonia-sama, will twist it down! All the men in the world would want to kill me! But I will turn them all to stone! My name will soon be known to the world as a fearsome great sorcerer! The world is going to be scared! Yes, to my existence!”
Margus held out his hands and laughed out loud.
At first, he was respectful, but as he got more and more excited, his manners broke down.
At first, he said he was going to make his presence known with Zolomonia, but by the end it was completely about him.
Again, Margus was sulking about a lot of things.
“……I, I see”
While answering, Zolomonia inwardly pulled back slightly.
From Zolomonia’s point of view, it was only a bad move to show off poorly, but rather than that, she decided it was better to keep the owner, Margus, in good mood and decided not to interfere.
If she shared her own power, it was unlikely that she would be driven into a corner.
Besides, in any case, sooner or later it would be widely known that he had raided the monastery.
