“So, pure and quick-witted child, what is your desire?”
Although two cult members had died for an absurd reason, the demon summoning ritual wasn’t over.
Traditionally, after being summoned, a demon was obligated to grant the summoner’s wish.
That was the proper way of summoning.
Of course, if the demon was too powerful or violent, it might ignore the wish and even kill the summoner…
“Child, you are pleasing to my eyes, so I shall grant you two wishes.”
Fortunately, that wasn’t a concern this time.
Amdusias seemed quite fond of Livia.
‘Hmm…’
Livia pondered.
Just because he offered to grant wishes didn’t mean anything was possible.
Demons weren’t omnipotent, and there were cases where carelessly worded wishes backfired spectacularly.
After a moment of thought, she asked,
“When the apocalypse arrives, please protect our cult members.”
“Hmm?”
A strange glint appeared in the One-Horned Lord’s black eyes.
“Oh? You are aware of the apocalypse?”
“I wouldn’t say ‘aware’… I’ve just heard rumors.”
“That amounts to the same thing. However, I’m afraid I cannot grant that wish.”
“Why?”
“Because Armageddon is not my will. It is the decision of those far above my station.”
“…I see.”
Livia nodded impassively.
She wasn’t disappointed. She knew it was a long shot.
“Then, at the very least, please spare the lives of our cult members…”
“Including those who have lost their purity?”
“What do you mean by ‘lost their purity’?”
“Those who have indulged in wanton pleasure. In your words, non-virgins.”
In other words, he intended to kill everyone who had had sex.
She was momentarily stunned by his outrageous declaration, but she pressed on.
“Even so… please. They are valuable members of our cult.”
“You ask for a difficult thing… But for a virgin like you, I shall gladly grant it.”
“…”
Livia was starting to get annoyed by his constant references to her virginity.
While it was likely meant as a compliment, it felt like he was mocking her.
‘I’m choosing not to lose it…’
It wasn’t as if she was lacking in looks or skills.
She simply hadn’t found anyone she liked, and she was too busy with other things…
She reassured herself inwardly.
Then, she asked,
“So… what are your plans?”
“My purpose is clear.”
The One-Horned Lord paused, taking a deep breath.
Then, he declared,
“I shall kill all the non-virgins in this world.”
A truly monstrous ambition, befitting a demon.
With that declaration, he leaped into the air and soared into the sky.

That day, in a nearby village…
Every prostitute and client in the brothel died.
The 67th demon, Amdusias, had appeared. The news spread rapidly through the community soon after his arrival.
Victims were appearing everywhere.
His appearance and peculiar obsession made him an instant sensation.
There were otherworlders who had… indulged in the pleasures of the flesh, after all.
[+ Is this guy insane?] (picture)
He just charged at me yelling, “Impure woman!!!” and I died before I could do anything wtf; Seere was at least hot, what the hell is wrong with this guy?
[+ I miss Seere-nim…]
[ㄴHe was a demon, but he died for a noble cause…]
[This new demon is crazy; did you unlock 19+ mode?]
[ㄴYeah? I unlocked it recently with an NPC in town…]
[ㄴSo jealous; that’s probably why. He only kills people who’ve experienced 19+ mode.]
[ㄴOh really? Might not be so bad…]
[+ A demon is a demon]
He might seem ridiculous, but he pierced through my shield and killed me
I’m level 95 tank class wtf
I lost my favorite shield and accessories…
[+ Did you die to him too?]
[ㄴYeah, one-shotted…]
[ㄴSo you’ve experienced 19+ mode?]
[ㄴWith my level, of course I have lol]
[ㄴLook at this braggart lol]
[+ I survived Amdusias though?]
Everyone else was dying, but he spared me lol
He even complimented me
He said it was admirable that I’d preserved my purity
It seems he gives gifts to those he likes?
[+ So you haven’t used 19+ mode?]
[ㄴNope, I’m focused on leveling up and character progressionㅎㅎ]
[ㄴAha…]
[ㄴYeahㅋ]
[ㄴ?]
[ㄴWhat does ‘ㅋ’ mean lol]
[ㄴHey]
[ㄴWhat does ‘ㅋ’ mean?]
[ㄴYou son of a bitch, where do you live? Tear a ticket and come to the Arena, I’ll kill you]
[+ Upvote if you died to Amdusias, a proud member of the 19+ mode club lol]
Downvote if you’re a virgin loser who “survived” lol
[+ Upvote lol]
[Who cares about losing items? He’s basically confirming we’ve used 19+ mode lol]
[Nah~ I don’t need that, I survived and got +2 senses~]
[ㄴYeahㅋ good for youㅋ]
[ㄴCome to the Arena, you bastard, ticket number 6313]
[Does 19+ mode in a brothel count?]
[ㄴHmm… that’s a tough one…]
[Ugh, these horny bitches; this community is so cringe today퓨ㅠㅠ]
[ㄴYou’ll probably survive Amdusias]
It was complete chaos.
The community’s perception of the new demon was… skewed.
He was seen as someone who penalized you for having sex, but dying to him was a badge of honor. Players were bragging about being his victims.
While the otherworlders were amused, the Gaians were deeply concerned…
Yor, however, was worried for a different reason.
“…None?”
“Yeah, I’ve searched the city and all the nearby villages, but there’s none left…”
Chae-rin replied hesitantly.
It was devastating news.
There was no holy water on the market.
In fact, the demand had increased.
He’d thought the supply would recover after Seere’s death, but the news of another demon’s arrival had only increased the number of buyers.
They were trying to alleviate their anxiety by stockpiling holy water.
While it was a sensible approach, it wasn’t good for Yor.
He rubbed his temples.
‘What should I do…’
His next Berserk episode was approaching.
The new moon would arrive in a few days. The thought of enduring that pain again filled him with dread.
“Don’t worry too much. The priests are focusing on training new talent… The supply will eventually increase to meet the demand.”
“…I hope so.”
He was worried about how long the holy water drought would last. Even if the supply increased, it might not be enough to meet the demand.
He’d endured Berserk A episodes before, but after experiencing the relief of holy water, he didn’t want to go back.
He’d become addicted to it.
He had plenty of money, so why couldn’t he get any…?
“…Thanks for looking. I appreciate it.”
“It’s okay.”
Chae-rin promised to keep searching and left.
A few days later, the new moon arrived.
Fortunately, it was a Berserk B episode.
He’d had several Berserk A episodes in recent months, so it was about time for a B.
He didn’t go outside. He went deep into his cave and… took care of his needs.
…He wouldn’t elaborate on what those needs were. He had some shame, after all.
Perhaps it was because he’d seen some stimulating sights recently, like Ha-neul’s bra and Niki’s exposed breasts, but his urges had been building up.
The demon inside him seemed to have noticed and amplified those particular desires.
In the modern world, he would have had access to… resources, but unfortunately, he didn’t have those here.
Regardless, as always, the Berserk episode passed.
A few days later, Chae-rin delivered even worse news.
“The church has promised full support until this new demon is defeated.”
“…”
“So… you probably won’t be able to get any holy water for a while…”
“Sigh…”
I sighed and realized something.
The situation wouldn’t improve if I just stayed put.
So, I made a decision.
“Where is this demon now? Can you find out its movements?”
It was risky, but I was willing to take the risk for my comfortable life.
“Let’s go somewhere together soon. Bring your editor too.”
I would take care of this demon myself.
And so, I made plans to leave my sanctuary.
