101 The gap

demon closed his eyes tightly and turned his head. It’s as if he doesn’t even want to look at Runia or Libra.

It would be nice if that could deflect the effects of the scales.

Looking at the devil like that, Runia asked.

“Your current leader is that demon named Marco, right?”

“….”

Of course, the devil doesn’t answer.

Kirilik.

But the scales move. The scale, which had fallen a little from the floor, rises just a little more.

“good. “Our conversation makes sense.”

“…How on earth…!”

The devil gritted his teeth in exasperation. Runia looked at it and smiled provocatively.

…But in fact, this scale is harder to use than the devil thinks.

Although it may seem like you can freely reveal information about the other person, there are quite a few restrictions.

First of all, since all Runia can know is the movement of the balance, the question must inevitably be one that can be answered with yes or no. It’s like twenty questions.

And the devil mistakenly believes that when the scale goes up, it is positive, and when it goes down, it is negative, but in reality, this is not the case.

This scale is a magic that obscures the truth, but more importantly, it is fair.

Even if the answer to Runia’s question is ‘no’, if the answer itself is useful information to Runia, the scale approaches equilibrium.

In other words, this scale is the magic that changes unfairness into fairness. In this case, it is information that both parties have.

Therefore, if the balance determines that the amount of information on both sides is equal, the balance will reach equilibrium and the effect will disappear.

‘So, if possible, it would be better if you keep quiet.’

In order for this scale to have the effect that the devil thinks it has, the devil must remain silent and say nothing, like now.

Even if Runia asks a question, there is nothing to be gained if the devil does not answer, so for the sake of fairness, the scale answers Runia’s question instead. Through the movement of scales.

In other words, the devil’s silence is exactly what Runia wants, and the scale moves clearly according to ‘yes’ and ‘no’.

‘Depending on the answer, this scale confuses even me.’

Even if Runia asks a simple question, the other person’s answer may not be so. Rather than just giving a short answer, one way is to bring out information yourself and mix lies and truth.

In that case, Libra synthesizes the lies and truths said by the other person and decides which side has more weight.

But in Runia’s eyes, things only go up or down. In the end, Runia must find out what the truth is in those words.

Whether it goes up or down can itself be a hint, but it does not completely reveal the information.

This is why Runia keeps asking things she already knows.

Let us fool ourselves into thinking that the effect of this scale is to tell us the truth. Only by that illusion does the devil believe that his lies are useless. Even though lies are better than silence.

“I heard earlier that there was a child other than me that they were originally trying to catch. Who was that?”

“….”

The devil still remains silent. Of course, the balance doesn’t move either. Because it is a question that cannot be answered with a yes or no answer.

“Sibel?”

“….”

The scale still doesn’t move.

This scale does not necessarily go down when the answer to a question is ‘no’ or the other person is silent.

If possible, it is okay to intentionally repeat wrong questions to create equilibrium. All that Libra determines is how valuable the other person’s answer is as information.

That’s why sometimes the answer ‘no’ can also tip the scales.

“Aten?”

Runia asks again, and this time he goes up.

‘…I can pretty much tell from the fact that they were targeting Aten.’

Now I know Runia too. What were they thinking about targeting Aten and why was Runia kidnapped?

The devils were unaware of the rapid growth of Constel students.

‘Chet, I feel bad too.’

And in the meantime, Runia, who focused only on Constel’s classes, fell behind others in actual combat and was the only one to be kidnapped.

‘It’s important to start from here.’

Now the devil may have begun to misunderstand the power of the scales. This is where the real questions begin.

‘The fact that Aster came to save me means that something happened to Marco. ‘Frondier must have done something because the leader who went to negotiate didn’t return.’

Runia actually doesn’t know how strong Frontier is. Because she used her energy to build a magic circle during the war, she was unable to participate in the scene where Belphegor was present.

However, like everyone else, I watched the scene where Frondier defeats Belphegor through Wizard View. It was a sight that was difficult to understand even for Runia, who had an excellent knowledge of magic theory.

I don’t know exactly what level of skill Frontier has and what the source of that skill is. However, it is clear that he killed Belphegor.

No matter how slow the devils’ information is, they will know that fact. Frondeer killed Belphegor.

If you were to negotiate with such a Frondier, the devil called ‘Marco’ would probably not be an ordinary guy.

There, Runia got an idea.

Unlike others who are strong in practical skills, Runia, who focused on class, has some advantages over them.

“Are you Marcosias, the devil you call Marco?”

“…!”

This time the scale moved and the devil reacted. There was no need for a scale this time.

“What do Solomon’s 72 demons have to do with you? “You guys are Satan’s minions?”

This wasn’t a scale, it was just a question. Of course, there was no way the devil would answer, but it was more like a question for Runia to organize her own thoughts.

“Have you decided to unite the 72 Devils and the Seven Sins?”

This time the scale went down in the opposite direction.

Runia sharpened her eyes there.

‘…If you don’t answer and the correct answer is ‘no’, the scale usually doesn’t move.’

But it moved. Under.

This scale is for fairness.

Going down means that the other person’s silence has another meaning.

It is proof that it would be unfair on Runia’s part to simply conclude that what she said was wrong.

“…no way.”

After thinking for a moment, Runia asked.

“Don’t you know? “What is Marco doing?”

“…!”

The scale rises.

“So it hasn’t been long since you came under the control of Satan, a guy named Marco?”

“Tsk…!”

The scale rises again.

Ahang Runia grinned.

Coincidentally, Runia knows another good piece of information.

“I heard Marcosias doesn’t lie.”

“…!”

“I think he would be quite compatible with this Libra.”

This time, the scale went up more than ever.

* * *

“Kwaaak!”

“Aaaah!”

While Runia was interrogating one demon, Aster and his colleagues defeated the demons one by one.

With Runia’s kidnapping released, this situation was almost decided.

Of course, if you look at the differences in individual skills, there were definitely demons that surpassed the skills of Constell’s students.

And those who are superior in numbers are also superior simply based on the difference in power.

As a simple example, in the case of Aten, it is a cold area that slows down and freezes opponents, but there are some who use aura to withstand it.

Because Aten’s physical abilities are average, it is not easy for her to respond when a large number of demons that can overcome her cold attack her.

However, every time that happens, Aster’s sword shines and Cybel’s sword emits flames.

If they were all separated from each other, dealing with Constel members gathered in one place would be too hard for the demons.

These two, who grew up close to awakening during the war, are among the strongest among Constel’s humans.

Cybel already has a record of winning by decision over their leader, Marco. Perhaps the only one who can deal with these two is the original leader, Mizonas, who at least held Ajie back.

In addition, Selena shows excellent capabilities in close combat with Aten’s cold energy and in dealing with aurors without interfering with allies. Constel’s combination right now is too good.

Originally, Satan was concerned about this harmony and gave the order to break up each faction, but it has already grown further from there.

And above all.

“I found out one thing.”

Now there is Dier here.

Aster looked at him as if he had been waiting for those words.

“What?”

“Those guys are similar to each other.”

similar?

Aster looked back at the demons.

Unlike low-level demons, each of these has a different appearance. The way they speak and their voices are different, and the weapons they each hold are also different.

Aster tilted his head.

“It doesn’t look very similar, does it?”

“It’s not just the appearance, but the timing and judgment posture of wielding an Auror discharge-type weapon are similar.”

“…!”

Then Aster saw the demons again. And I looked back on the past that I had fought so far.

I was definitely feeling something similar somewhere. In particular, demons holding the same weapon are easier to recognize.

“I, Pielot, Aster-senpai, and Cybel-senpai are all holding swords, but we each have different fighting styles. Usually that’s natural. Because we learn differently, our growth process is different, and our talents are different. But those guys are very similar.”

“How is that possible? “What does that mean?”

Of course, this conversation between the two cannot be done peacefully and leisurely.

The two each deal with and respond to the demons that attack them, and talk to each other whenever they get the chance.

Dier knows that he must give information to Aster before anyone else here, and Aster knows that he must listen to Dier before anyone else.

“I heard from Senior Frontier that all low-level demons look the same.”

“Yeah, I heard that too.”

“So aren’t demons like that in the first place?”

“You mean that in the first place?”

“We are all born similar from the beginning. People are born similarly, and as their grades rise, their own individuality and values emerge and distinction becomes possible. “Or,”

Dier said, dodging another blow that came at him.

With the speed with which he can react, Dier never makes a mistake in defense.

Phew!

Dier’s eyes slowly sank as he plunged the knife into the devil’s neck, which showed an opening.

“It could be the other way around.”

“the opposite?”

“Rather than having a high grade, you don’t have a personality. Maybe you have to have a personality to get a higher grade.”

“…will it grow as individual consciousness becomes established?”

“The demon that Pielot and I faced was quite unique. The way they fight by throwing marbles and the way they talk are the same. But in the end, it was just a bluff to hide his trick. Since he was the fifth in line, it would make sense to say he had that level of personality.”

We do not know by what standard Satan assigns orders to his demons.

However, if it is in order of ability, it certainly seems that the higher you go, the more each person’s individuality is revealed.

Aster thought about it for a moment.

‘Frondier said. Belphegor was the type to hide his plans with a lazy face. The type that gets everything done even though everything is a hassle. It wasn’t that I was consumed by laziness, but I was enjoying it. I thought you were introducing yourself or something.’

When Frondier talked about Belphegor, Aster thought that the two were very similar. Anyone would have thought that way.

But if you think about it.

Is that why it is ‘sloth’?

The names of the Seven Deadly Sins all originate from human tendencies.

The seven devils, who stand at the top of the devil, are each in charge of humans’ feelings of wealth.

Perhaps that is the ‘individuality’ that Dier is talking about now.

“Surely that’s not the end of the story? “What did you discover based on that fact?”

Aster asked.

Dier does not just provide any information to satisfy the desire for knowledge.

Dier said.

“He was the second in line to a demon named Marcosias.”

“It did.”

“And from what Senior Cybel said, that demon is one of Solomon’s 72 demons.”

“that’s right. When I heard that story, I thought of it too. A demon who breathes fire and can go back and forth between wolf and human form.”

Why are Solomon’s 72 devils under Satan?

This is definitely an issue that concerns me, but I didn’t think it was something I needed to know about right away. No, even if you need to know, it doesn’t mean you can know it now.

But Dier said.

“The 72 demons may seem like a large number, but if you think about the low-level demons that you can’t even count, there are only 72, right?”

“…Well, that’s right. As far as we know, it is right after the Seven Deadly Sins.”

“At that level, although not as strong as the Seven Sins, their individuality would be extremely distinct and their ego would be very strong.”

“yes. In fact, I think Cybel had a pretty unique impression.”

When Cybel confronted Marco, snakes came to mind first rather than wolves. I didn’t like the way he spoke, as if he was looking into other people’s minds, rather than his ability to regenerate.

“I don’t think it makes sense for the 72 Demons to work as subordinates of the Seven Sins. “And second in line.”

“What do you want to say? Even if it doesn’t make sense, you are actually working as a subordinate.”

“The distance between the 72 devils and the seven sins is farther than you think. “It’s about Nastrond and Tartarus.”

“…If you say so, it’s further than I thought.”

Those two are completely different worlds of mythology, and they are worlds that you can’t normally go to.

Dier said there.

“What would these demons have done if their plan had succeeded?”

“What if it was successful? “Yes,”

it will go back to Satan.

Aster was about to say that when he realized the contradiction.

“They did not receive information from Satan. “We attacked Constel with only old records, and now we are in this situation.”

No matter how you look at it, there is nothing good for the devil at the moment.

It is clear that they receive no information from Satan.

“It’s a situation where you can’t even hear your boss’s voice. There is no way it would be possible to travel back and forth between worlds. Even if their plan succeeded, there was no way these guys could return to Satan.”

“…But there is someone who can do that.”

Dier nodded.

“The devil who is one of the 72 devils, with his strong personality and self-consciousness, deliberately went under Satan.”

“Satan cannot cross the world, so Marcosias must have crossed the world. “In a way that we don’t even know about, not even Satan.”

“Marco, who will never encounter Satan, of course there is no need to obey. But I became a subordinate.”

“What if it wasn’t an oath of allegiance, but just a business relationship between Satan and Marco?”

Cybel had heard. And it was reported.

‘Sounds like a fucking rule,’ Marco muttered without thinking.

That’s why Dier can come up with an idea.

“We might be able to use Marcosias. If only we could detect his deception.”
