Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1580 - 92: Sacrifice (Part 2)

"Explain to me clearly, what exactly is going on here? Otherwise, I’ll smash your head right now. After all, you’re not a Demon, so even if you die, it won’t affect the sealing of Death’s Authority, and it would save you from causing havoc outside!"

Paimon looked at Elliog with a smile, but remained silent, which only made Elliog more furious, wishing he could smash this guy’s head right away.

If Fisher hadn’t returned to normal from that previous terrifying state, Elliog might really have lost control.

Yet the aura of Death’s Authority grew ever stronger around them, not dissipating even with the closure of the ten Gates. Watching the Dynasty tremble more violently under such influence, Elliog had no choice but to let it go, angrily saying,

"So what do you plan to do now? Death’s Authority was already unstable, and now that it’s been released, even with our power, we can’t fully seal it. Are we just going to watch it erupt?"

"It’s that guy Solomon... I was so focused on my plan that I overlooked what that human, who always wanted to die, had been doing in the Dynasty for these millennia. He infiltrated the palace behind each Gate’s First Pillar and stole the Seals they were guarding to awaken Death’s Authority and then die... Of course, for someone like him seeking death, whether others die matters not at all to him..."

"...As a Mythical Species free to roam outside, are you just going to watch him steal your Seal?"

Faced with Elliog’s suspicion, Paimon shrugged and said,

"That base, even being sealed, affected me greatly. Have you forgotten how our Angel brethren were exterminated in the Spirit Realm by It... So, for the plan’s success, I didn’t return after storing it in my palace, or else he wouldn’t have succeeded."

"..."

This explanation indeed seemed reasonable. The power of the Spirit Realm’s Pollution was especially lethal to Angels, though the reason was unknown, Elliog had known this for a long time. Paimon glanced at the trembling Dynasty around them and continued,

"...Moreover, even though Death’s Authority is stronger now, it’s not entirely without solutions... For instance, if I become the Dynasty’s true 72nd Pillar, making my power a full part of the Dynasty, we might seal it once more..."

Elliog paused slightly, frowning, and said with a cold smile,

"Didn’t realize you had such resolve? Willing to completely sacrifice your freedom?"

Paimon looked at Fisher lying on the ground, smiling,

"My plan failed."

"What, Agares discovered your flaw?"

Paimon shook his head, saying regretfully,

"They couldn’t possibly, nor could you. I’ve been waiting and planning for thousands of years. If you could easily stop me, I wouldn’t have made so many of you hate me so much, right?"

"Hehe."

Beneath Paimon’s veiled insult of her lack of intellect, Elliog’s forehead veins bulged, and her smile grew even more rigid.

"It’s just a shame; I accounted for everything except that the person I waited so long for would refuse to leave with me..."

"Oh? Is that so..."

Upon hearing this, Elliog’s dark face brightened. She shook the long tail behind her, and even the red "cat ears" on her head twitched rapidly, clearly savoring Paimon’s misfortune with glee.

Paimon, however, looked down at Rafael, who was advancing not far away, and added the final sentence,

"...All for a Dragon-man Species that bore his suffering."

"..."

Elliog’s tail and ears stopped moving, and she clicked her tongue softly, looking at the rising magma around, and said to Paimon,

"Hurry and start, what should we do?"

"Firstly, all of you need to return to the Dynasty. Agares is already in place, you’re here, and also Barbatos and Sidi..."

"We’re here!"

Just as Paimon finished speaking, a breeze passed, and Sidi, supporting the heavily injured Barbatos, appeared before his palace of Love and Gate, greeting them from afar.

Barbatos cast a cold glance at Paimon, and Elliog also breathed a sigh of relief, just about to explain the current situation to the two when Sidi touched his chin and said,

"I don’t know what’s happening in that Gap above, but the scent of Death’s Authority is so thick here. Let me guess... you need us back to control the authority?"

"Yes, henceforth, I will also be part of the Dynasty."

Sidi nodded, then said with a smile,

"Alright, no problem, but on one condition: from now on, I and Barbatos’ true forms must be together, and taking advantage of this, we’d like to move our true forms. With your current power, you should be able to do that, right?"

Paimon nodded, then looked at Barbatos, who had remained silent, and said with a smile,

"It’s a deal."

"Hehe, Paimon’s promises are even less reliable than a human’s..."

Elliog let out a cold laugh but still threw her weapon on the ground, then took a deep breath, and the Flames on her body surged higher, while the pink glow from Sidi and the green wind on Barbatos also burst forth, spreading along the ground straight towards Death’s Authority.
