ãDescent of the Demon King (2)ã
A demon world whose entire dimension is only about the size of the continent of Outerica.
Even unlike the harmonious earthly world, the Demon World had extreme conditions: it was full of negative energy.
Is it because of the extreme environment of the world itself?
The demon race, a race born in the demon world, had specialized combat abilities compared to ordinary living creatures.
As long as he has basic military power as well as magical power, there is no problem even if he does not eat food, and he instinctively learns the fighting style that suits him without having to learn anything.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that they are a species literally born to fight.
However, fortunately for the other races on earth, they were bound by various restrictions.
It was difficult to escape the space called the Demon World that was isolating them in the first place, and even if they did, they had to endure a significant loss of power, which was also part of the restriction.
âIf it werenât for that, the war against demons would never end in this world. The same goes for angels in heaven.â
But, to put it the other way, it was no different from saying that the power of the demon race was maximized in this demon world.
But what is the power of the devil peacock, who is closest to the peak among them?
[Khuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
? her with her with her own words⦠Damn these damn squiresâ¦!]
That was the reason why Siphar, Duke of Goeran, was able to hold out against Hella and Davidson so far.
The right side of his head, which was covered in scales, disappeared and he suffered deep wounds to the point where bones were exposed throughout his body, but the devilâs tenacious vitality somehow minimized the loss in combat power.
ââ¦Youâre persistent. Indeed, they say he is the best in the Demon World in terms of physical strength. âI guess that wasnât just a lie?â
âKahat!â
But that too was soon coming to an end.
Indeed, his physical abilities were as terrible as I heard, but his opponents were monsters even worse than that.
Hela, who was slowly flapping her wings as if looking at the world, looked down at the two-headed dog below with arrogant eyes.
A cross section of a torn neck being played in real time while continuously writhing.
However, the speed was so slow that it did not live up to its reputation.
In that condition, it will probably take a few days to fully recover.
âItâs surprising that even though they used the âShikigamiâ to devour the entire concept, itâs still that bad.â
This is probably possible because the essence containing the power of a devil is still intact.
It was quite an feat to recover from an injury of that magnitude in just a few days, but since the concept of the area itself was robbed by Davidson, there would have been quite a bit of strength lost during the recovery process.
âItâs such a shame, I canât leave it like that. That essence is no longer yours. âItâs all mine.â
With such shameless thoughts, Hela pulled the whip in her hand tightly from side to side several times and licked her lips with her tongue.
At the same time, Davidson drooled from three mouths and wiggled his tongue.
Of course, such an appearance was nothing more than a provocation to the person who was dealing with them.
âDamn it! Where on earth did these guys come from? Lerayer must have died without leaving anything behind from the expedition! Is it really possible that Iâm being held back like this now?â
Sipar gritted his teeth fiercely.
They completely saw themselves as prey on the verge of capture.
It was an unbearable humiliation for someone who had reigned at the top of the demon world for a long time.
But the problem was that it was now a reality that was just around the corner.
âno! I canât die like this! How much trouble I have suffered until now! And the opponent is not a demon dragon, but a hybrid whose origin is unknown?!â
I didnât live like this for this reason.
The reason I challenged for the Demon King despite suffering many hardships was never for the sake of an ending like this.
ââ¦Ugh damn it!â
Eventually he made up his mind.
Even if this incident causes fatal damage that will be difficult to recover from, I decided to avoid this situation for now.
He acknowledged that it was too greedy to try to resolve this situation without making that much of a sacrifice in the first place.
âIf only I could get out of here somehowâ¦â
By now, the news that the base had been attacked would have spread throughout Abnormal.
There is a difference in power and there is also an advantage in location, so if you gather all the high-ranking demons under your command who were focused on the battlefield against the Dark Nest, you will be able to deal with them well.
âTo crawl into the heart of my territory without fear! Iâll make you pay for your arrogance!â
It was not for no reason that each faction used its power to gain ground.
In the demon world, the level of status and level of power is directly proportional.
But this was an infiltration operation in which the leader himself participated!
Considering the risk of failure, isnât this a gamble?
Kugugoogungâ!
[Iâll melt everything!]
[Awwwââ!]
With a wolf-like roar, red-hot flames erupted from Siparâs entire body.
A powerful shock wave spread around him, and a heat so intense that it could burn the entire world instantly engulfed all directions.
ââ¦Ha, do you still have this much strength left?â
Hela could tell as he frowned and attacked again.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Sipar has completely given up on defense and is focusing all of his energy on that one thing.
As all means, including the magic barrier that had been used to reduce the damage, disappeared, the huge body that defenselessly allowed the attack quickly became tattered.
However, the opponent is Duke Goerang, whose physical capabilities surpass even the dragon.
While withstanding the attack with sheer tenacity, the hellfire rapidly grew in scale and began to threaten the âWorld of Macheonâ itself.
Grumbleâ Grumble!
Of course, Hella and Davidson could not avoid the flames that enveloped and shook the entire space.
The bright red flames flickered their tongues and quickly consumed the magic field thickly surrounding Hela.
âNow itâs all a matter of judgment. A flame that burns everything. If this goes on for a long time, itâs going to be a bit of a burden for me, right?â
Is this really a peacock-level devil?
She clicked her tongue lightly and gripped the whip tightly, infusing her magic to the fullest.
If you donât do this, even the highest level magic tools in the Demon Countries will not last long and will be damaged. On
the
other hand, Davidson, a physical monster, had no choice but to endure the heat with his bare body.
Burning and regenerating in a blazing flame, repeating infinitely.
However, it continued to move its mouth, swallowing the hellfire that touched its mouth, and lunged at Sipar again.
[Pfft! This damn thing! How can I survive in this fire!]
[Gasp!]
Due to that reckless attack, the distorted head on the left ended up biting off the leash.
Even though they resisted as much as they could while spouting flames, they were unable to do anything about the gap created by the insufficient number of heads.
The sight of Davidson, who continued to burn with flames and held his breath without hesitation, was so brutal that it reminded one of the gatekeeper of hell.
But at that moment.
The distorted face that had been eating the back of its neck suddenly smiled evilly.
It was as if he had already anticipated what would happen to him.
[Keuheuuâ! Oh, then Iâll send you to hell first!]
Immediately after that.
Sssstâ
A red glow flashed from the eyes of the snake on Siparâs tail.
And the enormous heat that had melted the world was suddenly sucked into the snake.
All the changes occurred in an instant, as if time had been cut in the middle.
âKaha?â
Davidsonâs body, which had been diligently chewing and swallowing the piece of flesh in his mouth, stopped.
The situation suddenly changed without warning.
He moved his three pairs of eyes and looked at the place where he could feel the heat like the sun.
[Khaha! Fall!]
A snake with a tail that is slowly crumbling into ash due to the excessive concentration of energy.
The final light erupted from its mouth.
Toward him who was enjoying his meal using his three mouths.
***
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa atââ!
A huge shock wave exploded, and a ray of light that brightened the world shot up into the sky.
âWow! Itâs hotâ¦!â
âGet back! âGo away!â
âFocus on defense! âIâm swept away!â
At the same time, a hellish heat that even a decent demon could not withstand spread throughout the battlefield.
The âWorld of Macheonâ located on one side of the battlefield collapsed, and the energy trapped inside began to sweep everywhere.
âUgh, is thisâ¦?â
âWhat happened? âWhat about the Duke?â
âFrom Hella! Is the fight over?!â
Regardless of the camp, the demons who were fighting outside all narrowed their eyes and looked in that direction.
It was difficult to see the inside because of the dense magical storm, but I couldnât bear to do otherwise.
Even though this fierce battle was going on, they actually knew it well.
No matter what they do here, ultimately, the outcome of this battlefield will be determined by the results of the fight that takes place there.
gulp.
In the midst of everyoneâs tension, the sudden magical storm gradually subsided.
And what was revealed there.
Pudduddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddeddeddedtedededtededededededdddeddedddeddedddeddeddtedtededededededededededededededededededtedtedtededtedededededededededededededededededkedededededed-ed-duk-dud
-dud-dud-duk-duk-duk-duk-duk-duk-duk-duk-duk! How on earthâ¦!]
A huge head strangled by a long whip and vomiting blood. It
was
another monster that enjoyed a meal by deftly moving its three heads around one crushed head.
ââ¦I was surprised.â
Hela, holding a whip in one hand, lightly stroked her forehead with the other hand.
The heat radiated by Sipar was so intense that even though she did not get a direct hit, her hands, which were highly resistant to fire attacks, were covered in moist sweat.
âWell, it was a good attempt. âThe opponent was just bad.â
Hela glanced up at the sky.
Following the trace of the ray of light that disappeared beyond the scar that divided the purple sky.
Who would have thought that he would deceive himself by pretending to use an area-wide attack and then use the snake on his tail as a sacrifice to deliver a deadly attack.
The attack, which used the hellfire that spread throughout the space as a medium, had an activation speed close to instantaneous that did not match its power.
Hela, who was a little away, didnât even have time to react.
But fortunately for Davidson⦠or rather, for Harley, there was one tool left that could be used in such a case.
Quad-duk- gulp!
The green glow slowly faded from one side of the three heads as they nervously devoured the meat, as if to replenish the calories they had burned.
It was a remnant of âJewel Eye: Coercionâ
âIf I got hit by that⦠well, I wouldnât have died, but I would have suffered a significant loss of strength. âMaybe it was a deficit.â
I had come all the way to the Demon World to engage in mercenary activities, but I couldnât go there without losing money.
Fortunately, Harley didnât use this ability often, so it wouldnât be a big deal.
It is not clear whether there was ever a person who could observe what happened inside the âWorld of Macheonâ, but you never know.
âTsk, I felt so relieved that things were going to work out so easily. No matter how overwhelming the superiority is in terms of power, the opponent is a peacock-level demon who has reigned in this hellish demon world for over a thousand years.â
Even though âJewel Eye: Coercionâ was a trait that grew stronger as energy was poured into it, there was a limit to the output that could be produced with just one or two.
As the name and color were the secret weapon, the resistance of the snake imbued with hellfire was also extraordinary.
But now he has three heads!
Thanks to the use of Cerberusâ factor, the existing head was copied as is, and the three jewels, whose output was also preserved, were deployed at full power at the same time, and the angle of the snakeâs head was able to change to the sky just before the beam of light emitted.
The âWorld of Macheonâ was instantly shattered by the impact, but that didnât really matter now.
If that extreme deadly attack had been allowed, since it had failed, the fight was already over.
âOh oh ohâ¦! Ooooh!â
âHela has won! Long live Hela! hurray!â
âUgh! Duke Goeran!â
âNonsense! how? âWhat the hell are youâ¦?!â
And even those who were staring blankly at the situation could clearly see it.
The image reflected in their eyes was extremely simple and clear.
Duke Goerang lost two of his three heads and a tail, and fell to the floor with his entire body in disrepair.
On the other hand, Hella, with a clean body without a single wound, is holding the dogâs leash like an owner.
And even a pet monster that was quietly muttering its mouth while pressing down on the peacockâs body with its large body as if eating the hunted meat.
In the demon world, the land of survival of the fittest, there was no point in fighting against one another.
Besides, isnât that creature from the demon race to begin with?
Taming and raising monsters is just an ability, and there was no room for excuses if they were treated in such a one-sided way.
âUgh, can I fail like this again? This time againâ¦!â
And this change in atmosphere was keenly felt by Sipar, who had been humiliated and suppressed.
The public sentiment towards him was leaving in real time.
To the winner who holds his leash like an owner.
It was like that when selecting the 14th Demon King, and it was like that when selecting the 15th Demon King.
[â¦Ugh, I lost. I, Sipar, will recognize you as king.]
In the end, he had no choice but to close his eyes and say those words.
In the first place, the faction called âAbnormalâ was a force united around only one person, Duke Sipar of Goerang.
Even if they continue like this until the end and die, the members of the disintegrated faction will simply leave to find a new monarch.
And perhaps the winner will be the winner of this place that smells strongly of the devil.
âIt would be better for me to bow first and go in. As it has happened several times before. Okay. As long as you survive, there are plenty of opportunitiesâ¦â
But then.
âOh, why am I sorry about this? âItâs unfortunate, but I have a prior contract.â
[â¦What is that⦠gasp!]
The whip around my neck tightened even more.
No, it wasnât just that.
The whip, which wriggled as if alive, began to cut his neck like a saw using its sharp thorns.
[Ouch! Uh⦠why! I am a duke! If you have my support, it will be helpful in dealing with darkness and the demon dragon! Then you can get closer to the âtrue devilââ¦]
âI promised first that I would deal with all of you dukes. A verbal contract is also a contract, right? âIt hasnât even been that long since the story came out, but itâs already a little too unilateral to break it offâ¦â
Hela smiled awkwardly and narrowed one eye.
It was a refreshing appearance that was not seen as someone who used enormous magical power and an âannihilatorâ to kill someone alive.
âAnd thenâ.â
As true death approached, Sipar began to resist fiercely.
But it was already too late.
Davidson used his large body to press down on his body, but he was already a loser and was suppressed, so there was no way for him to escape the execution of the âDemon Kingâ and the intimidation of the âDemon Eyes of Domination.â
ââI am already a real demon lord.â
A cold word uttered while looking down on him who was wriggling like an insect with a cold expression.
I donât need your help to deal with the other two.
Just shut up and spit out your essence. Because that would be more helpful.
It was the final sentence with many implications.
[Ha⦠Haha⦠As expected of youâ¦.]
Puhwaakâ! Coo!
A star that had reigned at the top of the demon world for a long time fell to the ground.
A vibration sound that resonates heavily like the weight of its meaning.
I donât know what was going through my mind after hearing Helaâs last words, but the expression on the beastâs face was so subtle that I couldnât describe it.
Hela then threw the head to Davidson, who was crushing his body like a hunting dog, and immediately extracted the essence of Duke Goeran.
If the essence remains in the body, it may eventually be able to regenerate, although it may take a long time, but if it is extracted, even the slightest possibility of such a thing disappears.
like that.
Hwaaaahâ
a polyhedron that seemed to have a red flame burning inside it came into her hand.
A duke-level essence equivalent to the Succubus Queenâs magic stone.
The waves flowing from that rare object even in the demon world spread out in all directions.
Slurp- slurp- slurp!
The people surrounding him began to kneel one by one.
Starting from Dream Walker and other followers of Hela, to Abnormalâs minions who were fighting and fighting just a moment ago.
Almost as if it were a ritualâthey offered worship and fear to their rulers as they celebrated their victories.
ãThe influence as the Demon King expands. The existence of the individual becomes more clear.ã
As if honoring the Demon King who has newly descended on this land.
