Devil & Devil Chapter 119, Gamble. (from Shounen Sunday 13/00) version 1, 000521 Artwork and story by Miyoshi Yuuki Crappy translation by Ronny Hedin (thark@mangakai.org) --- Page 01 Text: Chapter 119, Gamble. --- Page 02 Devil: Have you heard? It seems Gyang's patrol that attacked the Soul Guardian was annihilated. Devil: Yeah... --- Page 03 Devil: I knew that would happen right from the start. They were just intended to buy some time for this moment... Devil: For this moment, when Satan-sama revives!! --- Page 05 Vishnu: Not bad, Ios!! Ios: The same for you... Nanami: Eek! Nanami: Wh, why? Why is this happening, Sword!? Sword: Dammiiit, Ios, you better not loose, you bastard, 'cause I bet on you!! Nanami: B, bet? Devils: The current odds are Vishnu 40 - Ios 1!! Nanami: When you say bet, could you mean... money? Sword: Moooron, would Devils bet something like money? --- Page 06 Sword: When devils bet, it's souls, of course!! Nanami: S... souls? Sword: If a Devil devours the soul of another Devil, he gains his strength. It's like wagering your life on the match!! Nanami: Are you saying that.... Sword, you... (Sword: Don't take me for a fool.) Sword: I don't like devouring souls. Sword: So instead, I get some of the demonic power of these guys' souls. That way, I can regain the demonic power I used up earlier quickly!! Nanami: ....hey, wait a minute! What if you lose the bet!! --- Page 07 Nanami: S, Sword, did you... Nanami: You bet Souma's soul that's not even your own, didn't you!! Sword: It's OK. If Ios wins... Nanami: That's not the problem, wait, Sword! I'll take the bet back right now!! Sword: Pfaaah, sheesh, can't stand a joke.... Nanami: Heeey, where'd you go!! Great: You lot are being pretty carefree considering we're about to embark for Satan's stronghold.... Sword: Great Satan... --- Page 08 Ios: HAAAAH!! Great: Oho... He's pushing Vishnu back. Angel Ios' swordarm is top class, as one would expect... Great: And in that arm, the unholy sword Lucifah that Lucifer left behind. He's obtained power that completely outclasses the current you. Sword: ...what are you trying to say!? Great: You definitely need Shiva's soul to battle Satan. Yet, you... --- Page 09 Sword: Yeah... I have no intention of taking his soul. Great: If you take Shiva's soul, he'll be the same as dead... Is it because you don't want to kill your friend...? Sword: That's not it. Sword: That {Ios} said it too, didn't he. There's no point in settling things if it isn't with my own will and my own power. It's the same for me!! Great: Your own power, eh, you're too naive... --- Page 10 Ios: GAAAAH! Ios: S, Sword!? Nanami: I found you. Now hurry and remove the bet.... --- Page 11 Sword: Don't worry, the bet is already over. Ios: !? Devils: Hey.... that's!! Devils: Satan's flying fortress!! --- Page 12 Sharo: Strange... It's too quiet.... Garvera: Could it be a trap? Great: All we can do is to go, anyway. Shiva: We invade the flying fortress, the rest prepare for battle!! Devils: We don't know when the enemy might appear, so pay attention!! Nanami: Sword, Ios-san... Sword: I'll tell you this, you're not coming along this time, Nanami... --- Page 13 Sword: Don't make a face like that. Sword: We'll definitely get Souma and Kanna back to the human world alive!! Sword: Now let's go, to get our revenge on Satan!! Nanami: Sword... Ios-san... --- Page 14 Sword: Hey youuu, Sataaan, you fucking come out!! Ios: There's nobody here, don't you think it's strange we can invade this easily? Sword: Ain't that good? Saves us the effort!! --- Page 15 Sword: Well, we've come this far, so you can tell us now, can't you. Why you're trying to kill your own father, and your own son Satan. {plural you, ie Sharo and Great Satan} Great: .... all right. Great: This was... yes, when Sharo was born into this world. Great: You may find it hard to believe, but at that time, Satan, who inherited my name, desired the coexistence of Heaven, the human world, and Hell. Sword: C, coexistence? --- Page 16 Satan: Great Satan... For the sake of this child, I want to create a world where all living do not strife. Great: But the war with Heaven, which had been going on for thousands of years, was not something he alone could stop. Eventually, it came to a direct confrontation with God. Great: And Satan was destroyed. That was when his soul was split into those fragments you sought. Yes, certainly, at that time, Satan died!! --- Page 17 Great: But Satan awoke again. As an entirely different existance. He desired slaughter and destruction, and to rule everything, surely a true Demon Lord!! Sharo: That's not father... Great: Indeed! If he has the consciousness of my son, I shall ask him to stop myself. Great: Therefore, we have to attack Satan!! Sword: ..... --- Page 18 Sword: Heh, all that doesn't concern me... but now I understand it completely. Sword: So I can kill Satan without constraint!! --- Page 19 Great: !! Sword: Wh... Wha...t's...? --- Page 20 Sword: Wh, what's this!?
