The Sessor To The Underworld Is A Cheat yer 72
ck hair like jet-ck obsidian, ck eyes, and a demeanor that exuded the gravity of middle age yet concealed his true age with a refined appearance and the solid muscles visible even under his clothes.
“Sein Demorus, I permit you to be Demorus’s final sessor candidate.”
Everything about Demorus.
It could only happen with Tezera’s consent.

“Uweaek!”
Sein, stepping outside the capital, couldn’t hold back the urge to vomit.
He expelled not only the steak he had just eaten but also the snacks he had enjoyedst night before finally catching his breath.
Roberta fainted as soon as they left the capital and was carried to the infirmary.
“…Insane.”
It was beyond expectation.
As one of the absolute rulers epassing the current world, he had thought he would be a monster by nature.
However.
‘Tezera Demorus.’
The master of Demorus was truly beyond imagination.
“Really….”
Wiping his mouth, Sein muttered.
“It’s a whole different world.”
He had to once again acknowledge that the world had changedpletely beyond what he could have imagined in his past conjectures.
Sein wrinkled his brow as the bile rose in his throat once more.
“I expected more as the first candidate to win the support of both Rasiel and Dante.”
Approaching footsteps and a voice.
“It’s less than I imagined.”
The face was familiar.
One of the four at the bottom of the table where the head sat.
“Sneaking around to vomit in secret, huh.”
With a skeletal face and a body reminiscent of a snake, he was a guy who exuded a bad vibe even in his eyes.
“Are you getting senile like Almani and Rohan?”
He sneered at the struggling Sein.
“To think I supported someone like you.”
“…….”
“I mean…”
It was when thed was about to utter more words.
“Uwek!”
Sein poured out everything that came out of thed’s mouth in front of him.
“Uh, uh….”
It seemed like a situation even thed hadn’t anticipated, as he stammered in bewilderment.
“Waek!”
“This, this rascal!”
Although thed tried to break free, Sein grabbed his shoulders and emptied everything out.
“Ha…. Now I can survive.”
Sein’s voice, as if barely taking a breath, flowed out.
From Noble mtl dot
“You son of a b*tch, I barely held it in, but because of your bad breath, I spilled it out again.”
“What…?”
Bewilderment, followed by the inevitable.
“You b*stard!”
Anger.
Thed with a snake-like face pushed Sein away and vented his rage.
“B*stard? Did you justpare our father to a dog?”
Even in Rasiel, that wouldn’t be tolerated.
“Well, I mean….”
It wouldn’t fly in Demorus either.
“Father! Are you still there! This lunatic just called our father a dog…!”
Sein dodged the flying punch with his mouth shut.
“…that’s what I said.”
As Sein finished speaking, a drop of blood formed on his cheek.
The seemingly random punch from thed pierced through Sein’s magical barrier and left a wound.
“Why? Was I wrong?”
“Eeek!”
Thed’s furious energy began to pour out even more.
“I was curious but didn’t confirm.”
However, Sein facing this was unfazed to an extreme degree.
“What would happen if I killed you here?”
It was different from before.
Roar!
Sein’s magic, mixed with genuine intent to harm, instantly ensnared thed with a snake-like face.
“…Ugh!”
Startled, trying btedly to free himself from the binding, it was toote.
Umph.
Sein’s magic-infused palm was touching thed’s neck.
Just a little more here, if he moved his hand, it would be over.
But he couldn’t.
Thud!
Taut strings were wrapped around Sein’s hands.
“I will give you the answer. Sein.”
The thin threads enveloping Sein’s body were not ordinary.
They were crafted from thinly drawn mithril, an item that only master cksmiths could create.
“I will give you the answer. Sein.”
Sein looked at the owner of the voice with narrow eyes.
Men wearing white masks.
‘Delran.’
They were the guardians of Demorus, protecting his lineage and followers.
“Well, I was curious. Tell me.”
“If the sessor candidate Sein kills the candidate for Jugar, it’s a death sentence.”
Huh.
Sein let out a bitterugh.
“Handling candidates’ lives like flies?”
“Because candidates and sessor candidates are different.”
The voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.
Swoosh.
The silver threads enveloping Sein began to loosen.
Sein thought he would stop here upon learning the price.
“…!”
But Sein wouldn’t stop here.
Whoosh!
Blood sprayed like a fountain.
“Aargh!”
Jugar, in pain, screamed.
“Now you look worthy of attention.”
A straight scar cut across his vile snake face.
“Faces like yours should look more sinister by nature.”
“You bastard!”
Jugar, emanating a strong aura, unleashed all his power.
“You’re too harsh on someone who gave you a free facelift. But…”
Grind.
Sein smiled.
“Are you okay?”
Jugar tried to strike Sein down in one blow but couldn’t achieve his goal.
Jugar stood frozen, his fist poised mid-strike.
“You heard earlier, right? It’s a death sentence.”
Silver threads wrapped around Jugar, Delran’s guards held a dagger to Jugar’s throat.
“Shall I kill him?”
“…Sein.”
Sein turned his gaze away from Jargar, who was forcibly suppressing his anger.
There, people dressed in a mix of ck and gold garments were watching the scene.
No.
‘They must be aware.’
From the start, it must have been their doing.
Testing Sein through the easiest to excite and manipte Jargar.
Just as Sein was testing the boundaries of Demorus’sw and the power of the Ga’ju, they too must have been testing Sein’s temperament and skills.
“You must be tired of these tests.”
He spoke not to Jargar but to the others.
“Next time, instead of sending this fool,e yourself. I’m curious about Demorus’s execution methods.”
Sein stepped back.
Then Dndo began to release Jargar’s restraints.
Shrrrr…
The moment when Eunsa lost strength and became feeble.
Kwaaang!
Jargar flew towards Sein like a bullet.
If killing was forbidden.
“You should suffer the same fate!”
Thinking it would be permissible if done in the same manner as Sein.
Parrer.
But Jargar’s purpose was once again unfulfilled.
This time, it wasn’t Dn.
“You thought I’d just stand there and take it?”
Sein reached out a hand, clutching Jargar’s outstretched left arm.
“Aaargh!”
An arm that did not even flinch.
When Sein slowly let go of that hand.
“Pathetic bunch from the main house.”
Sein’s handprint was clearly visible on Jargar’s left arm.

“A pleasure to meet you for the first time, Sein. I am Ferio, your valet.”
Several individuals stood politely before Sein, introducing themselves.
“We will do our best to serve you, Sein.”
Their mechanical voices belonged to the servants assigned to Sein by Demorus.
“Sein.”
Roberta spoke to Sein.
“I think it would be best to send them back.”
“Why?”
“….”
Roberta approached slowly and whispered.
“They will be the eyes and ears of Demorus.”
After several shes in the training ground, Roberta seemed to realize what her hometown was like.
Connected by blood but no different from others, a ce akin to a battlefield where others might fare better.
“Perhapster…”
As Roberta, who had taken on the role of Seyn’s bodyguard, prepared herself meticulously.
“Wee.”
However, Seyn ignored her words and extended his arms towards the servants.
“I will serve you sincerely.”
“Seyn.”
Roberta, looking concerned.
“It seems you have much more to learn.”
“….?”
“Do you think they will disappear just because Demorus’s eyes and ears send them back?”
Unlikely.
“They are under the disguise of the monster Demorus. It will be futile no matter what you do.”
“I know that. But…”
The story was about being more cautious.
“Avoiding danger isn’t everything. Be diligent.”
An annoying fellow. However, Seyn decided to endure the annoyance knowing Roberta’s potential and her aspirations.
“Diligent?”
“We must make use of it.”
Roberta seemedpletely puzzled.
“You have strength, but your mind is the issue. Consider dyeing it.”
Despite grumbling unpleasantly, Roberta nodded her head.
Having witnessed and understood the meaning behind everything Seyn had done so far.
“I will observe and learn.”
“Understood?”
Seyn addressed the servants.
“If my bodyguard suspects you.”
“No need to worry. As we are your servants, Sir Seyn…”
“Let’s not waste words on each other.”
Seyn said with a broad smile.
“Do your job, just remember there will be a price for your actions someday.”
A slight warning, and they would understand.
“We will keep it in mind.”
Indeed, like true servants of Demorus, they were quick-witted.
“I will exin the overall aspects of Demorus’s life to the Lord.”
Lady Han, Ferio said politely.
“As you are a sessor candidate, you have the authority to establish a faction within Demorus.”
“A faction?”
“It can be used for any purpose, but it must beposed of members from the main house.”
The Lord’s eyes narrowed.
He understood what was being implied.
‘That’spetition too.’
How much of Demorus’s people within the main house can he make his own?
“What about the factions of other sessor candidates?”
Ferio did his best to exin the Lord’s question.
There seemed to be quite a difference even among the sessor candidates.
The most significant one was.
‘Kn was said to be the most likely sessor.’
As the eldest son of the main house and uniquely, the outsider, Vincent, who was one of the three Dark Lords equal to Demorus.
His faction was called Krnes, taking the form of a military force with around a hundred members.
The least was naturally Varze.
One of the reasons for his entry into the main house without much differencepared to the Lord was due to the need for an exchange event, Barze who came into the main house with the Lord.
He did create a faction, but the number of members was said to be zero.
“Furthermore, as a sessor candidate, you can use Demorus’s facilities, but…”
Ferio took something out of his chest and handed it over.
It was a ring shining in a bronze color.
“Currently at the bronze level, there may be limitations on usage.”
“How can I raise the level?”
“You need to fulfill the missions of the main house.”
Perhaps because it originated from a game world.
Even this felt like a game.
“Also…”
Ferio exined the things the Lord needed to know in Demorus.
