‘He’s become a total idiot.’

That was the thought that immediately came to mind upon seeing the lord who was half-demonized. The half-man, half-demon, who had been the lord of this city until just now, was lying on the floor, wriggling his body in a miserable manner.

This was precisely the reason why I had deliberately defeated the undead, collected their flesh, and restored the demon’s power. Because only when the demon had consumed exactly 2 pieces of flesh could the situation be resolved without a battle.

If the demon’s power was not restored at all, or if only 1 piece of flesh was returned, the lord would have awakened as a complete half-man, half-demon, dominating the weakened demon, and a boss battle would have ensued.

On the other hand, if 3 or more pieces of flesh were returned, the lord would have been unable to overcome the demon’s power and died on the spot, and a boss battle against the demon that had descended to the surface would have occurred.

The specs of the demon that appeared as the boss varied depending on how many pieces of flesh the player returned, and the complete form was when all 100 pieces were fed.

There was an achievement for awakening the demon to its complete form and defeating it, but just being able to carry a book with 100 pieces of flesh required a Divine Power stat of 99, so even meeting the stat requirements was a daunting task.

‘Putting that aside, he’s really ugly as hell.’

I carefully observed the lord-turned-something wriggling on the floor.

In the game, it felt like a crude mix of half-human and half-demon, but here, the feeling of a human and a demon being fused into one was much stronger.

The body shape remained the same, with little difference between the horizontal and vertical dimensions, but countless scales had sprouted on the bare flesh. The mouth was torn up to the ears, revealing pointed fangs between them.

The eyes had vertical pupils like a goat, and half-formed horns were attached to the head. The arms and legs were all inverted joints. The claws at the ends were very sharp.

The half-formed wings were a bonus.

“He-help, m-me, h-help me!!!!!!”

The lord glared at me, vomiting black blood. It seemed like he was trying to crawl towards me, even if he had to wriggle on the ground, but he couldn’t get far before burying his head in a pool of blood.

“Why are you acting so miserable? Your face was already stupid-looking, but now it’s barely recognizable as human.”

I grinned and waved my hand at him. The lord muttered incomprehensible words while glaring at me, then vomited blood again with a “bleurgh.”

A gurgling sound of blood boiling came from his throat. It seemed like he wanted to say something, but his throat was filled with blood, so he couldn’t even speak properly.

“He seems to have no idea why he ended up like this. Hey, if you have a brain, try to think a little. How can a human handle a demon?”

I picked up the book that was still emitting black energy next to the lord. Unlike that bastard whose mind was consumed as soon as he desired this book, it was just an ordinary book that couldn’t affect me at all.

First of all, I didn’t particularly desire it, and above all, I had invested 5 points in Divine Power before coming to the mansion. A demon who had only consumed 2 pieces of flesh couldn’t interfere with my mind.

“Even you must realize that something was strange now that you think about it, right? Your mind must have been filled with the thought that you had to summon the demon no matter what happened. Even though you knew better than anyone that getting involved with a demon meant unconditional death sentence under imperial law, and that even royalty was no exception.”

Thud, I closed the opened book. The flowing black energy abruptly stopped. The lord’s wriggling subsided a little.

“Why did you do that? I’ll give you time to think.”

I said that and deliberately paused, then spoke in the most annoying voice possible.

“Ah, there’s nothing to eat here, so your brain must not be working? My mistake, sorry. I’ll just tell you the answer. The answer is, ‘Because I lied to you from the beginning.'”

“……!!!!!!”

The lord widened his eyes, half-consumed by the demon, and glared at me. So what if he glares at me? I continued speaking, maintaining my annoying voice.

“Demons are all like that. Once they’re caught by desire, there are only a handful of humans who can overcome it. And there’s no way a demon of lust exists. What? Giving men infinite stamina and making women climax just by brushing against a man’s collar? Why would you believe that? Use your brain for something other than eating, and think a little before living your life.”

I tapped the lord’s head with the book, peck, peck. The lord vomited another handful of blood with a “bleurgh.” Perhaps because the absorption of black energy into his body had stopped, the color was a little closer to red than before.

“What, you told him that? And that idiot believed it?”

“Yes. He believed it wholeheartedly.”

Although it’s said that demons are beings that incite desire, there is definitely a limit to that power. They can make someone be consumed by desire, but they can’t create a desire that didn’t exist.

That was why it was considered cleared if the lord had the thought of wanting the book. Once he had even a little bit of that thought, the demon dwelling in this book would take care of the rest.

“That pig bastard must have valued me quite highly, but it felt a bit strange that he traded me for just a book inhabited by a demon. So that’s why I was sold as a sex slave to you?”

“No, can’t you express it a bit more elegantly?”

“Forget it. Can I go kick him just once?”

“You can kick him not just once, but a hundred times. He can’t move anyway.”

With the permission that it was safe, Aurora approached the lord wriggling on the floor without hesitation, slightly lifted the hem of her dress, and pressed the heel of her high heels onto his head.

“You stupid moron. Did you want to fuck women that badly? Huh? But you know what, if you wanted to do that, you should have just died and been reborn. Do you know what the women who were summoned by you whispered behind your back? They said you have a fucking tiny dick, you idiot. Even if you shook it, they didn’t feel anything entering their pussy, just the sensation of your belly fat jiggling. Did you know they were whispering that among themselves? Huh? Did you?”

‘Oh my god.’

For a moment, I thought my ears were playing tricks on me.

I never imagined that Aurora would use such words without hesitation. Since the lord’s personality had become much worse than in the game, it seemed she wasn’t completely unaffected by that influence.

Still, considering she grew up mostly alone under such a bastard, it was fortunate that her personality could be called somewhat normal.

After that, Aurora continued to stomp on the lord’s head with her high heels, pouring out curses, abuse, and ridicule for a long time, and only after quite some time had passed did she smile brightly as if feeling refreshed.

“Ah, I feel so much better. From now on, I’ll sleep comfortably with my legs stretched out. Wait. What’s with that look? Why are you staring at me like that?”

“No, it’s nothing. I just thought you were amazing in many ways.”

“Ha, I can guess what you’re thinking, but try living under a bastard like that. If you were in my place, 1 year would be enough to become like me. And honestly, I held back a lot. If it weren’t for you, it would have been worse. Do you want me to show you an example of what I was going to say?”

“There’s no need for such an example, so please maintain some dignity. Why are you using such vulgar language when you’re about to become the family head?”

“I can use it because I’m the family head now, can’t I?”

The lord, who had his head stomped on and was burying his face in the ground, raised his head in response to the mention of the family head. As soon as Aurora saw that, her eyes lit up again.

“Ah, was that just now lese-majesty? But what can I do about this? It’s all true. You will die here, and I will take all your wealth. Thanks for building up the assets so well until now. Were you desperately accumulating money to give me as much as possible? Were you trying to make me take only the money and reputation while you die bearing all the disgrace? This is a bit touching?”

“……!!!!!!”

Hearing that mockery, the lord’s eyes were about to roll back. He was desperately flailing his arms and legs, which had half-turned into inverted joints, but there was nothing he could do.

Aurora, who had finished speaking, smiled brightly and looked at me.

“I’ve had enough fun mocking him, so let’s kill him now. There’s no need to keep looking at such a disgusting thing, right?”

Although her expression and tone didn’t match at all, it didn’t feel awkward since the original was a terribly beautiful woman.

“Right, well. What are you going to do next, Lady Aurora? Do you want to watch me kill this guy, or do you want to step outside for a bit?”

“Of course I have to watch from beginning to end. I need to see this pig bastard die with my own two eyes.”

As if to say that the bright smile she had shown just now was a lie, burning hatred blazed in her golden eyes.

I told her to do as she pleased, then took out a dagger from my pocket. It was the dagger I had taken from the skeleton priest. Seeing the dagger in my hand, Aurora tilted her head.

“What, your weapon was a dagger? You don’t look like you use a dagger at all.”

“How do I not look like I use a dagger? And this isn’t my original weapon. I brought it to kill that demon.”

“You brought it to kill that thing?”

“Yes. Demons can never be killed unless it’s a weapon imbued with divine power.”

In Brightest Darkness 4, only weapons with the modifier “blessed,” which dealt holy-type damage, or holy spells could damage demons.

To be precise, hitting them with ordinary weapons did reduce their health. It was just that they recovered it all as if nothing had happened.

Only the damage inflicted by blessed weapons or holy spells remained without being restored. And the stat requirement to use this dagger was Divine Power 5.

I drew the dagger and approached the lord, who was wriggling on the floor in a hideous form.

“It must hurt enough to die, can you bear it?”

Without waiting for an answer, I stabbed the dagger into his body.
