"Alice."

"Alice, I have a question to ask you."

"I'll say it first, I'm not allowed to mention those things this time."

When she heard Bezebu had questions, Alice had no intention of refusing, but it was probably because she was too familiar with him. Before Bezebu could ask her, she gave her a vaccination in advance.

"No, I used to be too bored, so I wanted to talk to you and explain my feelings."

"What a pity." He shook his head and showed a helpless smile. "We both don't have much common topics, so I have to joke with you to activate the atmosphere around you."

As he said that, he picked up the snacks placed in the box aside and threw them to Alice, who was resting on the other side of the donkey cart.

"You guy is really bad as ever..." Looking at the word "milk candy" clearly written on the snack bag in your hand, the girl couldn't help but show a smile on her face and gritted her teeth.

"Eat something, what if there is still a chance?"

"No." Shaking his head, Alice rolled her eyes at him. "I'm not a child, and eating candy is a bit too embarrassing."

She threw the snacks back to Beizeb, then raised the wood on the ground and ignited it with magic.

On the donkey cart behind her, Bethibu put down the snacks in his hand and quietly pulled out the holy sword next to Alice and began a thousand times a day.

The silver-white sword body slashed through the air, stirring up a gust of breeze.

Bathed in this cool breeze, he closed his eyes and felt the quietness and movements between the world.

"Alice, do you think I will really be effective in practicing sword like this?"

"I don't know." Shaking her head, Alice leaned against the big tree, and her eyes began to become a little confused when she looked at Bethibu.

"I should have known it long ago." Bezebu smiled, but it seemed to be a bit reluctant. "Grandpa Pope told me since I was a child that I insist on swinging my sword more than a thousand times every day. Even if I can't use those magic that looks extremely gorgeous like you, I can still have the strength to be worthy of the name of a brave man."

"When I was a child, I always kept what he said in my heart, thinking that I always had a day to become stronger."

Alice calmed down and listened silently to his story.

"Before I was seven years old, I was bullied almost every day by the knights in the Holy See or the children of priests."

"They call me a monster, the so-called son of the goddess of light, the man of destiny. All of this is the name that Grandpa Pope deliberately made to confuse the world."

Bethibu said quietly, with no sadness or joy on his face.

"At that time, the Pope told me that it was just that they were jealous of me and that I would be able to inherit the name of the brave in the future."

"But I know in my heart that every time when they bully me, there seems to be an ancient beast hidden in my heart, and I have the urge to tear them all to pieces and swallow them all."

"Maybe I am really a monster, maybe you have seen someone like me who is greedy? If you don't eat snacks for a while, you will feel uncomfortable all over. The worst time I remember was a year ago, when Hulville came back from the mission, I didn't eat for a long time because I was too tired. At that time, I actually had the urge to eat her."

"I still remember that day when Hulville just entered the door, I was thrown to the ground. At that time, my head was in chaos, and my consciousness was not very clear. I vaguely remember that I woke up from that horrible state when I heard Hulville's scream."

He waved the holy sword, his hand was getting faster and faster, and from time to time, the sword light burst out as if reflecting his anxious mood at this moment.

"She didn't resist me. She knew it was my illness, so she cut her arm before I bit it, trying to let me suck her blood to temporarily suppress that monster-like impulse."

"That scream was caused by the old injuries that were too big to her body."

"The giant lion of the Crescent Plain, the Hydra, and the Calydon wild boar. She killed these famous monsters in the outside world. Maybe you think this is a bit incredible, but this is a fact."

"Sometimes I think she is like a brave man, and I am just a waste who lives in the world and needs to waste other people's time to take care of myself."

He has always kept these things in his heart and never mentioned them to anyone. The reason why he mentioned them today is that Alice is not a human, but a devil. He doesn't have to worry about his words being passed back to the people in the Holy See.

"But your strength is very strong, so strong that even I feel an unparalleled feeling at that moment." Alice smiled bitterly and told her feelings when she faced the sword of Bethibu that day.

"Is that so? But the stronger I am, the more I think I am like a monster."

"boom!"

The holy sword refracted the silver-white moonlight, and a huge gully appeared in the direction pointed by the tip of his sword. The surrounding trees turned into wood chips in the sky and flew wildly.

Standing in it, his thin figure seemed so desolate and melancholy.

"That day, the day I met you. Hulville told me that the demons were approaching, but I didn't feel even a strange aura. That feeling seemed to me no different from ordinary people. Now, if I look at it, maybe I'm a demon like you, maybe I'm a demon?"

"The brave men from the Holy See turned out to be from the demon clan. This sounds really ironic, right?"

Alice didn't say anything, she didn't know how she should answer.

The brave men from the Holy See turned out to be the demon clan, which is as ridiculous as the demon king of the demon clan is actually a human.

Thinking about it now, she also understood the purpose of Besieb coming here.

"From the beginning you knew that I might not actually be your opponent, did you?"

She silently set off a fire, not knowing what she was thinking about.

"I wasn't sure at that time, but through my repeated testing of your bottom line, I realized why you have always seen me get into trouble everywhere. Why did you just remind me not to do it, but you didn't use force to stop it. In fact, it's not that you don't want it, but that you don't think you can beat me. If you reveal your strength and are not as good as me, maybe your superficial dominance will be taken away by me now, which is definitely a disadvantage for you."

"But you can rest assured." Bezebu put away the holy sword in his hand, and seemed to return to the previous hippie smile. "I am now standing on my own position rather than the Holy See's position, so as long as you, the devil in the washboard, don't provoke me, I will naturally not do anything to you."
