I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party

71 – The Transcendents (2)

Transcendents (2)

A place where everyone has retreated.

Belphegor, sitting alone on the throne with his chin resting on his hand, thought.

‘It’s all annoying.’

The tears of Twelve, the rebellion of Ten, and the other legion commanders who were watching closely.

It’s so insignificant.

It’s so trivial and annoying to see them struggling with just a party of warriors. And to see them using that as an excuse to fight each other.

‘Come to think of it, why did I want to become the Demon King?’

What were you trying to do standing at the top of the mountain? Was it just to be praised?

Or maybe you wanted to change something.

I don’t even remember it now.

What kind of charm did she feel in this position that she had usurped from the previous Demon King Leviathan?

Now it’s all just a hassle.

Now that I’ve become the Demon King, I’ve been using the Demon King’s army to shoulder that responsibility, but is that really necessary?

‘The liberation of the demons is a piece of shit.’

Most of them are just looking out for their own interests. There aren’t even half of them who truly want to invade the human world.

Well, that’s what a cause is all about.

When it was first put forward, it may have been able to unite everyone’s hearts, but as time passes and generations change, it becomes nothing more than a facade.

The meaning fades.

The same was true for the Demons.

Another group of humans who evolved to survive in the harsh Demon World after being pushed out by humans. Their intention to take revenge on humans and reclaim their territory must have been good.

However, as time passed, the two became completely different species.

The once barren Demon World has now become a place where people can live without any problems.

It’s not that the land has improved, but that the people living there have adapted.

The demons are beings who have achieved amazing evolution. What is poisonous to humans is a delicacy to the demons.

Yes, it means that there is no problem in living.

But even if we insist on the cause that we initially put forward, how many people will truly agree with it?

These are full stomachs.

“Rather, all of them… … .”

Wouldn’t it be better to just hit it?

And we’re also cleaning up those who go around shouting at the devil’s army.

If all those annoying things were to just disappear, she wouldn’t have to feel this boredom and annoyance.

Belphegor’s eyes become colder and colder, almost to the point of seeming transparent.

At first glance, it seemed empty, but at other times, it seemed like an eye filled with insight that saw through everything.

smart.

That was when Belphegor began to reach extreme conclusions.

The audience room where she was left alone.

There was a knock on the door, in a space where she might not even be present.

“Come in.”

Belphegor granted an audience in a weary voice.

After a while the door opened and a woman with a haughty expression came in.

It was a release.

“Your Majesty, I see you are in a bad mood, so I have prepared a tribute.”

“tribute……?”

Belphegor tilted his head at the first sign of things.

Although Lilith was usually good at her job, she was not the type of person to offer such blatant bribes.

Is there anything you want?

No, if that were the case, I would have called you aunt instead of your majesty. It would have been much better to ask you in private.

In that case, there was a high probability that what was being offered now was a real tribute.

“It’s called the dessert of the human world. It doesn’t seem to be much different from this one, but it seems a little sweeter.”

“Hmm, okay.”

Belphegor, still looking bored, reached out his hand toward what Lilith had given him.

“It’s cold.”

“Oh, yes, maybe it’s because the weather has been so hot lately, but you seemed to be feeling a bit down.”

“is it……?”

Belphegor felt a sense of emotion. He had always thought that she was okay, but seeing Lilith’s sincerity made his heart change like a reed.

Couldn’t I try a little harder? I thought it would be a good idea to leave it a little longer, as it would be a place where my capable nephew could spread his wings a little more.

“Enjoy your meal.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Then I will take my leave.”

“No, let’s eat together.”

“Yes… … ? Oh, no. I’m sorry. I have work to do, so I’ll go out first. Your Majesty.”

“Really? Then there’s nothing I can do.”

Belphegor thought as he looked at the sweat dripping down Lilith.

‘Did this kid get into an accident or something?’

Was there a desire to sort things out rather than a request behind the blatant flattery?

‘Well, it doesn’t matter. I’ll just do my best.’

Belphegor, as always, just gave it a pass because it was annoying.

Belphegor’s eyes, as he saw Lilith off, had returned to their usual state.

***

It was a situation where everyone in the warrior party had fallen asleep. Jim was heading to his room after finishing cleaning up the food Tina had eaten alone.

“It’s late. It’s good that you’re on good terms with my daughter, but I’m worried that you’re neglecting me like this.”

“So, clearly… Mr. La Pa?”

“No, this is really disappointing… … .”

Rapha sighed as he realized that Jim’s gaze was sincere.

This crazy kid. He sealed away everything, including his own existence and the fact that he had ever met me, into the back of his memory.

I felt disappointed when I thought that they were just pretending not to know anything.

How long have she and Jim known each other, anyway?

“Indeed, I am a man who knows how to read the mood. I definitely understood.”

“what……?”

“So you came here to seduce me? Haha, this is really difficult. I could spend a night with you, but I’m not a man who can be tied down anywhere.”

“This is crazy fresh. It seems even fresher than freshly caught fish. The eyes aren’t freshly caught, but they look like they were caught and dried in the sun for about three days… … .”

A man who resembles a fish in many ways.

That was Jim.

“Wasn’t it?”

“No. No, wait a minute… … .”

Rapha realized that the current situation was not as bad as he thought.

The power of the burden responds to karma.

One who has accumulated overwhelming karma, or one who has swallowed up the karma of others.

It responds to the power of those people and consumes them to grow in size.

A means for a being that has lost its status to regain it.

‘That means it’s okay as long as I don’t provoke you.’

What a precarious life this is.

A method that could easily lead to an accident if done wrong.

Hiding yourself would be the best, but it’s also an extreme approach.

That is, the burden now is that she doesn’t know anything as long as she is careful.

“Yeah, that’s right. That’s true.”

Isn’t it fun?

The ascetic of Kapilavastu, who had not even blinked when she tried to seduce him in the past, was now lustful and even expecting it.

“I thought he was a pretty nice guy from the moment I saw him.”

“I guess so.”

“… … .”

Unfounded confidence.

I really can’t figure out what basis he has for being so confident.

‘No, was it like that from the beginning?’

That boundless confidence had been the same since she first met the ascetic of Kapilavastu.

In a way, it’s the same thing as revealing women.

However, there was a difference in that a clear line was drawn… … .

‘Well, he’s been a strange guy who’s been good at picking on women since before… … .’

Then why is that?

It’s strange that I feel like my impression has changed so much even though my basic personality hasn’t changed much.

Is it the snow? Is it because of those incredibly cloudy, fishy eyes?

‘Whatever it is… … .’

Now is your chance.

If she covers Jim now and makes it a fait accompli while Jim doesn’t know anything, it’ll be fun later.

La Pa is a hedonist.

So, they take pleasure in hindering and corrupting those who are trying to transcend the five desires, seven emotions, and three poisons.

“What do you think? Wouldn’t it be okay if I spent a night with you?”

La Pa knows her own charm.

She may seem ordinary at first glance, but if you look closely, she is beautiful.

That’s just a means she uses to hide her identity. When she doesn’t need to take such measures, she can fully display her charm.

She is the embodiment of the three poisons and the seven emotions.

The unlawful liberation that hinders those who seek to attain enlightenment and liberation.

“I will show you heaven.”

The words of the King who actually resides in heaven.

Rapha slowly unbuttoned his shirt one by one.

An action to show off while being conscious of the other person’s gaze. In this way, her hidden Millia-level chest begins to poke out from her stuffy shirt.

He takes advantage of the moment when Jim’s gaze is still fixed on the spot and pushes him completely onto the bed.

La Pa, who had climbed onto the luggage without realizing it, licked his lips while unbuttoning all the buttons on his shirt.

“Haha.”

Jim didn’t fight back.

I just accepted it with a hazy expression, as if I was dreaming.

The fascination of La Pa.

Well, Jim didn’t need that right now, but Rapha was planning on thoroughly toying with Jim.

How frustrating would it be for someone who has been hoping for something so badly to be left with only the results and no process?

Of course I thought so too… … .

‘I never thought I’d be caught without any resistance… … .’

At that very moment, Rapha began to approach Jim, almost collapsing on top of him, with a captivating smile on her face, feeling as if things were going too smoothly.

“There’s a dirty lizard.”

Boom!

A pure white flash engulfs the bed where Jim and Rapha are lying.

A pure white wave that seemed to erase everything from this world.

“Keeeeeek!”

The sacred magic of Saint Irina.

It was obvious how the opponent who carried out such a terrorist attack was feeling, from the fact that he did not even hesitate to blow up the luggage.

“Oh my, you were… … the saintess of the warrior party? You have such a cute expression.”

Rapha walked out in a flash of pure white light as if it were a given.

Just a moment ago, she had the air of someone who seemed to be going overboard with luggage and the front line, but now, as if nothing had happened, she was dressed neatly.

However, she seemed more surprised that Irina was here now than that she had been attacked.

“I thought you were all asleep. How did I know?”

“I don’t know about other people, but mental attacks like that don’t work on me.”

Brainwashing Lv. 32

Incitement Lv. 31

Torture Lv. 40

Intimidation Lv. 47

Expert in psychic attacks.

That is Saint Irina.

“Should I say that I underestimated you?”

“Well, isn’t that what lizards do anyway?”

Irina and Rapha looked at each other and smiled coolly.
