71-Episode 37: Are You Impressed By Saving Your Life?

What an idiot!?How can you cut with a magic wand?

'I told you.?A true swordsman does not choose what he gains.

"That doesn't mean you have a wand.?Normally, you'd have to hit them, huh?

By the way, you can cut with your hands and feet too, okay?

Then why do you don't need the wand anymore?

That's certainly true if you ask me.

It has the advantage of a slightly longer attack range, but to me it's just an error.

In the first place, you're a wizard, aren't you?

That's right. But I'm also a swordsman.

I see........you're a magician.......

No, he's just unemployed.

What?

.........Hmm.

But still, how can this demon talk normally when it's been cut in half by its body?

And then I thought.

'Kwahahahahaha!?That's a shame, though, because they are a bit of a surprise!?I don't die from being cut down!

The devil found himself standing there, unharmed, as if nothing had happened.

A deafening humor echoed through the air.

'Is there a power similar to blessing at work??Just like that skeleton clerk.

At any rate, I decided to try slashing again.

Next, a flash around the gut.

The upper body and the lower body separated............................

'......?Hee, hiyahahahahaha!?As you can see, no damage!?Don't even think about it.

In that case, this time I tried to cut his head in half.

''Hey--''

I'm going to cut off his head.

"Come on...

I'm going to try to cut off both arms and legs.

Stop--

I try to chop it up into pieces.

''........Hmm. Demons seem to have quite a strange nature.

There was still an unharmed demon standing in front of me.

But for all intents and purposes, it has gotten smaller.

In the beginning he was supposed to be taller than me, but now he can't even reach my waist.

The more I cut my body, the more it gradually shrank.

It seems that when you take damage, your body gets smaller.

''Heeeeeee!?No more!

The demon's earlier bluster is nowhere to be found, and he tries to escape with a pathetic cry.

Of course, I'm not going to let it escape.

I caught up with the back of the fleeing demon, flapping my short limbs, and easily overtook it.

He turned on his heel and stood his ground.

'Hee!?Come on, that was a joke!?I apologize!?So forgive me!?No, please forgive me!

This time he is desperately begging for his life.

Before I know it, even her voice has become so young that, combined with her appearance, it makes me feel like I'm tormenting a child.

''Please... please... please...''

I sent a stab into the face of the demon that was pleading with its moist eyes.

''Ughhhh?''

The demon's body becomes even smaller as it penetrates the head with a bang.

''No, no, no!?How can you attack me in this form normally?

I guess demons are demons when they're shrunk.

This is the same demon that had declared me a sacrifice.

I had no intention of condoning it.

And it was a mockery, mostly because they wanted to catch you off guard and make a last-ditch effort.

''Since we're here, let's see how small we can get.

'Gah!?We're going to disappear!

Apparently, it will not be able to maintain its existence and die - or rather, it will disappear.

"d*mn it, I can't hold my wards in this way anymore!

The uncomfortable feeling that had enveloped my entire body was gone.

Apparently, I was forced to break the wards that had sealed my magic.

The demon was now small enough to ride in my palm.

It's about the size of a fairy.

''Ugh........I'm seriously going to disappear.......''

You hate it that much?

You're an idiot!

It may have been angry, but it was so cute and loud that it was bleeping and little birds chirping.

'Then you can let him off the hook,'

Oh, really??No, really!

Yeah. And the alternative is this.

I've built a magic formula.

Then I activated the magic.

Magic letters appeared on the demon's tiny torso.

'Huh??--Pigaaaah!

The letters glowed strongly and the demon screamed.

''Ko, this can't be right!

Looking down at his own belly, the demon looked down at his own belly and his eyes widened in astonishment.

There was something like a branding mark etched into it.

''Slave magic!

Yes.

Slavery magic is a form of black magic.

As the name suggests, it allows you to enslave a subject to you through a magical contract.

And the enslaved person must obey his master's orders from now on.

It is often used against slaves as well, but if the other party is a human being, there are many areas where the scope of what can be bound by the contract is defined by law in order to limit too inhumane behavior.

But if the other party was a demon, there was no need to take such considerations into account.

''I was just hoping to get a messenger. You were lucky.''

You think I'm a demon of the human race?

The demon is shaking himself with a buzz.

'Are you thrilled that your life was saved?'

Of course not!?I'd rather die than be humiliated like this!?I'm still a high lord of the demon world, Giaaaaaaah!

'By the way, I've made sure you'll be in a lot of pain if you're defiant.

"f*ck you, agaaaaahhhh!

It's not physical pain.

The devil can endure any number of things.

That's why I made it a severe pain of the type that affects the mind.

The demon bowed auspiciously as if in contemplation.

''Oh, nice to meet you,''
