Butcher Demon-Chapter 243

Chapter 243

◇◆◇ (Third-person point of view)

Papameyan was sitting on the rubble. Holding his hands over his face, his eyes fixed on the ground.

“Papameyan-sama!”

The Valkyrie Chario landed near him. As soon as she landed, the pure white wings that had spread across her back disappeared. She, too, has the gift of flight.

“Oh, Chario. What brings you here?”

“Nodens-sama wants to see you.”

“How is the Tarshepite doing?”

“He’s trying to sabotage the gate. Ferris, Lydia and Tiriel have joined them.”

“I see.”

“Is there something wrong?”

“Look…”

Papameyan looked up. He had his usual skeleton face, but there was a burn mark where the tongue had been wrapped around it.

“He got me. He destroyed one of my face.”

“Oh. By the butcher named Gevaudan, I presume?”

“Yes…..isn’t that right? Yufan.”

Papameyan looked down and saw Yufan lying nearby. Her body had not been repaired yet, she can’t even stand up.

“I was so surprised to see that wretched figure of yours that I accidentally stopped my hand. I honestly thought that my heart just stop beating. If a child saw that, they would be traumatized for the rest of their life.”

“You should have minced me along with him like that Papameyan, he’s definitely not the Butcher. He can inflicted a status effect on me. I didn’t know what it was, but I felt like he implanted a skill in me.”

“Oh, a then”

“That’s not it, and I can’t get my hexes on him at all. What’s going on?”𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

“He had multiple enchantments on him. That’s probably why Hex doesn’t work. As for the Curse, I’m not so sure.”

“Really…”

“You do not seem to be surprised.”

Papameyan stood up when Chario spoke to him.

“–Well, Since there was a lot of conflicting information, I went to confirmed it, and I knew it all now. The rumors that he had mastered the butcher’s body, that he was originally a woman, that he killed Coronzon when he was subhuman, and apparently, they are all true.”

“Did you really?”

“Yes……”

Papameyan muttered with a slight dejection.

“I know very well what happens to a woman who slays a Wraith…….”

“……”

The unusual tone of Papameyan’s voice made it impossible for Chario to respond.

“—-Well, what can I say? That butcher is actually quite a gem……. how can he not give up when he’s all messed up like that?”

“According to reports, he is clearly aware and conscious.”

“I have never seen such a person before. Daring and bold. He was not intimidated by me. It was the first time he had been hit by a rock by surprise. How pleasant kak-ka”

“No way……..”

Chario’ face scrunched up.

“Don’t tell me that you’re trying to recruit our target.”

“Kak-kak-ka! Nothing can’t be tamed, even that Tomboy dragon girl. Right, I heard that he’s quite a lustful fellow. Why don’t you give him a try Chario? You might get the strongest Einherjar ever.

“That’s sexual harassment.”

“Kak-kak-ka!”

“Enough, Stop laughing and get it over with…….”

Yufan sighed tiredly and said in a weak tone.

“Can’t you restore your body to normal?”

“No, subhumans have too little magic power. The subhumans in this fortress are not going to be able to grow a single leg even if I eat all of them.”

Nocturnes have a weakness that they cannot receive any recovery skills and have to rely on their own physical body to heal themselves. In this respect, they cannot be on the front lines of this war, where the only enemies are subhumans. This was the reason why Gevaudan had never seen zombies or vampires on the battlefield before.

“Jeez. It is because you do things on your own.”

“I can’t say no if Nodens asks me personally. please understand.”

“Kak-ka. Although I am happy that at least one of the Wraiths has disappeared, I understand how Nordens felt about this, having been under his care in the past. So, let’s put this matter behind us.”

“And now I’m in such a mess as a result…….”

Yufan frowned in disgust as she thought back to the treatment she had received from Gevaudan. She didn’t care about being raped or eaten by insects, but being thrown into a subhuman party as a mere lackey was humiliating, even for her.

“–Then, Yufan, when you get back, please give a secret message to the Demon King.”

“What?”

“I’m not sure about Titania’s plot rightnow, but Tell Narus to be careful with Tartarus….he’ll understand.”

“Yes, Leader.

“Thank you in advance.”

Papameyan waved his circular shield with little effort, and Yufan scattered into pieces of meat. Her talisman flew and carry off by the wind, disappearing between the buildings.

“–Haaa…….”

Papameyan shook off the flesh and blood on his circular shield and turned his face to the right.

He hides his face under the hood and–.

Boom!

There was a crackling sound as he shook his head vigorously.

Papameyan’s mask was changed into a Hannya, full of resentment.

He repeatedly shook his head, *Kashan, Kashan, Kashan……* turned into a fox mask, Shoki mask, tengu mask, dragon mask, iron mask, nameless spirit mask, pharaoh’s mask, and so on. After repeating the rotation one after another, his face returned to its original, unblemished appearance.

a technique of his that allows him to switch masks in an instant and fight with various divine powers.

It is the price he once paid for the sake of the people he was meant to protect.

No one remembers Papameyan’s face anymore.

“—-Let’s go.”

“Yes sir.”
