Chapter 180: The Boasting Demon Has Perished, The Pickled Cabbage Demon Rises

Vanir, a Hell Duke's clone, fought with everything he had, and although he posed no threat whatsoever to Broly, the battlefield had already been plowed over and over again; the Lich lady, not wanting to be caught in the battle's aftershocks, could only stand at a comparatively distant spot to watch the show.

But suddenly, the two who had been brawling happily — Broly abruptly flew into a rage, his aura climbing at extreme speed, then venting that terrifying pressure in an instant; in a split second a green pillar of light connecting heaven and earth appeared.

When she came to her senses, the plain where the boy had been standing had directly turned into a small basin.

"What happened? Why did you suddenly unleash an attack with this much power?"

Wiz was startled; after reacting, she stood at the basin's edge and asked.

Broly flew over and truthfully told Wiz what Vanir had just said, and that he was worried watching her.

Wiz listened with a dazed expression — when did she, a top-tier Undead King, become someone who could be killed in a single thought by another?

A Lich's resistance to instant-death skills is very high to begin with, and given Vanir's situation, he doesn't have any instant-death skills at all, okay.

"Broly, you don't need to worry, I'm perfectly fine; Mr. Vanir is just like before, he likes to tease simple kids like you — that was purely boasting.

In fact, it's absolutely impossible for him to kill me with a single thought; even if he truly had that ability, he probably wouldn't use it."

Wiz reads demons accurately; Vanir's main body is in Hell right now, savoring the extreme anger emotions from just now, and the destruction that anger's power brought upon himself.

This is exactly what he wants — absorbing extreme emotional energy while simultaneously being destroyed in the process.

It's just that the destruction's speed was slightly too fast, not even letting this Archdevil with self-destructive tendencies properly experience the process of his own destruction.

"So that Masked Demon was just bluffing?"

Broly was surprised, not quite knowing what to say; Vanir was definitely the strangest guy he'd ever seen, even stranger than Darkness.

"Mhm, in order to obtain negative emotions, Mr. Vanir really is a guy who's somewhat unscrupulous."

Wiz nodded; what Broly just experienced, she had gone through similar situations when she was still human and encountered Vanir.

Every time she thought the other party would kill her and the other Adventurer Party companions, but every time the other party was just boasting to scare people, playing with them.

"Broly, you don't need to carry any burden; for guys who like to play with people, you should properly teach them a lesson!"

Wiz saw the boy not speaking and thought he felt some guilt, so she hurriedly comforted him.

"Burden? I don't have any burden, I was just wondering if our bet still counts?"

It's just killing a demon; not to mention it was while provoked by the other party, even if I really accidentally killed them, it's no big deal.

A stranger's life or death isn't very important to Broly — just like no one would cry over a roadside ant dying by accident.

To make Broly feel bad, you'd at least have to build a relationship first, make him invest emotion.

Obviously, on this point, Vanir — who called him 'little ghost' every other word — hadn't succeeded.

"The bet, that naturally counts; demons are entities that strictly abide by contracts — as long as a corresponding contract is signed they'll acknowledge it, and it's the kind they'll acknowledge even after death……"

Wiz's description of demons abiding by contracts made the strange information 【Make the wind blow daily, netherwind simple and unadorned】 surface in Broly's mind.

The 'Make' in 'Make the wind blow daily' is the 'Make' from Angel — that Angel who unhesitatingly betrayed Aqua Master; because Aqua sometimes mutters to herself, Broly still has some impression of her.

Although, he personally thinks that Angel sister is pretty great — she let Aqua Master come to This World together with him.

Wiz and Broly returned together; Aqua complained a bit about her Disciple returning late.

But upon hearing her own Disciple went and killed a Hell Duke-class demon, her complaints turned into praise.

"Broly, this kid has finally grown up — you even go out and eliminate hateful demons on your own now."

Aqua wore a moved expression, then shoved a clay pot over.

"Alright, let's all help pack the pickled cabbage; once it's packed, Wiz you take a portion and put it in your shop to sell."

"Eh, but my shop is a Magic Tool Shop, not a pickled cabbage shop!"

The Lich lady hurriedly said.

"This pickled cabbage is made from Magic Cabbage that carries its own magic power, and it was washed with Purification Water I summoned — it's a genuine Magic Tool item.

As long as an undead creature eats a single piece, I guarantee it'll ascend directly; what, you don't believe me? Want to try a taste?"

Aqua used chopsticks to pick up the foot-stomped pickled cabbage and tried to stuff it into the Lich lady's mouth, letting her taste the Magic Pickled Cabbage's flavor.

The Lich lady held up both hands to brace against Aqua's enthusiasm and hurriedly admitted defeat: "I got it, I got it, Aqua-sama, I'll take your pickled cabbage back to the shop and sell it."

"Should've been sensible earlier; so how much are you prepared to buy my pickled cabbage for?"

"Eh, it still costs money?" "What, you Lich, want me to let you work for free?"

Aqua picked up the returned pickled cabbage again and threateningly asked.

"Don't dare, don't dare; then how about ten thousand Eris?"

Pickled Magic Cabbage, after the Harvest Festival, which household in Axel doesn't have some? It's just that other families' pickled cabbage lacks the ability to purify undead.

But what use is that ability inside pickled cabbage? Wiz just feels this is a doomed money-losing deal, and doesn't dare offer too high a purchase price.

"What, such good cabbage, and such a big jar, you're only offering ten thousand Eris to purchase?"

A clay pot with volume not exceeding five liters — that's just ordinary capacity, where's the 'big'?

Wiz really wanted to ask that, but under the threat of Aqua force-feeding her Purification Cabbage Pickles, she still doubled the purchase price before the commercial bully Goddess let her go.

"Sigh, at twenty thousand Eris a jar, a full fifty jars of pickled cabbage were purchased〜"

Wiz sighed, only feeling that her one million Eris was destined to go down the drain.

"Wiz, how much are you going to sell Aqua Master's pickled cabbage for?"

After Broly helped arrange a portion of the pickled cabbage on the sales shelves, he asked the Lich lady.

"Selling at cost price probably won't get any buyers; can only sell at a loss and see if any move."

Wiz said with a sigh.

"If Master saw that, she'd probably think you look down on her pickled cabbage."

Broly gave a reminder.

"Uh……"

The Lich lady remembered, realized this really was Aqua's style, and hurriedly raised the pickled cabbage's price to double the purchase price.

And that meant this batch of pickled cabbage was destined to be unsold goods that wouldn't sell.

Fortunately, her contract with Vanir had already been resolved by Broly, and now the Magic Tool Shop's profit income, the portion concerning her, was already counted as her own, completely affordable to lose.

"Thank you so much, Broly, if it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know how to survive!"

Wiz was referring to the matter of this Magic Tool Shop surviving.

"Wiz, aren't you already dead?"

But it was unclear, Broly also thought she was truly thanking him, so he gave a very sharp retort.

Lich Miss: "..."

After writing the product name of Goddess Pickled Cabbage next to the price, Aqua's pickled cabbage was considered shelved for sale in this Magic Tool Shop.

The two returned to the Annex, and the four at home seldom bathed together; Aqua prepared to drink while bathing, but was stopped by the other three.

In the evening, Broly injected sufficient life energy into Wiz, making her exactly the same as a living person, and everyone gathered to eat hot pot.

"Hah, the meal after working hard is delicious!"

Aqua, who had drunk alcohol, had a red face as she spoke these words.

"Hey, Aqua, you only started working hard these past few days, right? Usually you're lazy and scattered."

Darkness directly exposed her.

"You muscle masochist woman, what nonsense are you spouting? I also properly put effort into living daily."

Aqua immediately retorted.

"Eating a meal in a near-human state from time to time is really not bad."

Wiz ate the cooked meat, showing a satisfied expression.

"Ah um ah um ah um..."

Broly didn't speak; while Aqua Master and Darkness quarreled, he silently acted as Old Six eating rice person eating rice.

And the sliced meat hot pot also counted as their household's daily cooking after entering autumn, after all they didn't lack living expenses.

Wiz dissolved the labor contract with Vanir, but there was still one without a contract who could arbitrarily enslave her labor waiting for her...
