Finding the Demon (3)
A gate is open somewhere in this place.
The demons vehemently denied it, but Frondier couldn't hear them anymore.
'This is good. I might be able to finish the deal with Baal easily.'
The demons of Agoris are looking for a way to return to the Demon Realm.
But to be precise, they would be happy with any method as long as they could return.
What good is knowing the method when the gate is open right now? The right thing to do would be to immediately flap their wings and rush towards the gate.
'It's impossible to find out the exact location of the gate, but…'
Even with their immense resentment and anger towards their Astaroth, they wouldn't tell Frondier the location of the gate. They know what consequences that could lead to.
They are smart enough to know what kind of magic they were hit with.
Frondier didn't lift a finger for that magic, and now they are completely immobilized by the black substance, having nothing to do with the magic they received.
There is at least one more person here besides Frondier who can subdue them instantly. They know how dangerous it is for two such powerful individuals to know the location of the gate.
'Telling Baal right now is also an option…'
Even without the exact location, just telling him that the gate is open would make Baal move immediately. He would use all his forces to find the gate that opened somewhere on the continent.
But there's no guarantee he'll find it, and in the worst case scenario, the gate might not have opened in this continent.
“…I guess I'll be satisfied with this for now.”
Swoosh
Frondier released the Obsidian.
The three demons, suddenly free, were taken aback.
They stood there awkwardly, looking at each other, unable to attack Frondier or run away.
“You can go back now.”
“…Really?”
“Yes. I promised to let you live if you answered.”
Even after Frondier said that, the demons couldn't leave. They were slowly backing away, but they couldn't turn their backs and fly away.
Frondier sighed at their appearance.
“I told you to go quickly. A turtle would be faster than you.”
“……Are you planning to attack from behind?”
“Have you been living in a fool's paradise?”
It wasn't entirely wrong. He was a devil, after all, and deceit was his way of life.
But from Frondier's perspective, who was overwhelming with power, there was no need to attack from behind.
“Alright, tell Astaroth when you see him. Tell him his predecessor was much better.”
“So we are Astaro…,”
Thump!
Obsidian suddenly covered the devil's mouth.
The devil wondered what was happening, then his face turned pale.
“You owe me your life once.”
“…….”
The devil nodded, sweating profusely.
“Even if you're not Astaroth's subordinates, you could meet on the way. Tell him then.”
Although they were undoubtedly Astaroth's subordinates, Frondier wasn't interested in making them admit it.
They would surely go to Astaroth. Knowing that they had bombs implanted in their bodies, they might even attack Astaroth with the intention of dying.
‘And if Astaroth sent his subordinates to me, he would naturally want to hear the report from the returning subordinates.’
“Go then.”
Frondier waved his hand.
Only then did the devils leave with a slightly awkward look.
Frondier, who had just saved them from death by covering their mouths, wouldn't attack them from behind. It was simply unthinkable.
However, there was one thing.
After watching them fly side by side for a moment, Frondier simply said,
“That's the direction, isn't it?”
“……!”
