Episode 454
Episode 147. Demon God War (1)
There were more and more dimensions of the underworld transplanted into Inse.
The beautiful scenery of the snow-capped mountains was gone, and the ground was covered with black stains and seemed to be dying.
After arriving in the snowfield, the party had never encountered a monster.
For some reason, not a single being of the underworld was seen in the Suher Snowfield, where the most dimensions were transplanted.
“It is miserable.”
“This is the human world no matter where you look at it. It’s like a completely different world.”
[Already, this area is closer to the underworld than the human world. Even if the war is over, we will not be able to return this land…]
“What? can’t you get it back?”
[Yeah, just like you can’t turn a rotten fruit into a fresh one, the same goes for the land.]
It was a miserable landscape. Even Marlon, who had seen the terrible landscapes and horrors of various battlefields while serving as a mercenary, could not adapt to the shock of these unfamiliar lands that seemed to be decaying.
[The Magi is so bad that I can’t fly anymore. I’ll have to go on foot from here.]
“Yes, Ariel-nim, it’s okay if you get out of the area and rest.”
[No, if I encounter the demon of the underworld, I will have to escape with Marlon, so I will go with you.] A
wild blizzard was blowing. When Ariel landed on the ground and transformed into a human, the three of them began walking on a land that could no longer be called a snowy field.
The same sight continued even after walking for a long time .
Although they were not tired, all three of them naturally lost their words in the endlessly desolate landscape.
However, even though the scenery was the same, it was clear that the concentration of demonic energy was getting thicker and thicker. Unexpectedly for the clean air of the human world, stuffy and heavy air flowed in and out of the group’s nostrils.
how many hours did it take
As the sun began to set, passing a tall hill, the party was finally able to face the source of the dimension transplant.
“Yuma, that…
“Looks like Sekmeira’s dwelling place.”
It was just over a hill.
Suddenly, a huge black semicircle like the sun came into the group’s field of vision. Except for the semi-circle, the area was clean with not a single transplanted dimension.
As if Amanjo had shaped the red moon into the human world, the black semicircle the party was looking at was also a space where Sekmeira’s authority was integrated.
“There is a demon in there…
[Finally arrived.]
The black semicircle, unlike the dimension it was just transplanted into, didn’t look sick at all. Also, what filled it up was the perfect image of the underworld.
Sekmeira brought the space where the seat of power in the underworld was located to the world as it was.
The three of them couldn’t take their eyes off the black semicircle for a while. I felt like I would be sucked into it just by looking at it, so it was difficult to move forward.
‘It feels like seeing Amanzo fully descended. The inside of that semicircle is a real summer world with no intervention restrictions.’
Then something huge began to appear in the center of the semicircle.
“uh?”
In an instant, it filled the black semicircle and raised its head, looking like a snake.
A snake with a larger body than Mahatrisha’s true form. As soon as Ariel saw the snake, she collapsed into her seat without realizing it.
“Ariel!”
[Heh heh heh…!]
What Ariel said was no different.
Instinct.
The visceral fear of the monster that had slaughtered dragons since ancient times, when the tree of gods was damaged and the world split, made her fearful.
But the snake was not Sekmeira.
A snake that had been swimming in a semicircle turned its left side.
Then, he politely bowed his head towards the party, which was a greeting to Yuma, who came here as a demon god.
The snake lifted its head again and began slowly withdrawing itself out of the semicircle. After crossing the border between the semicircle and the snowy field, the huge shape of the snake was instantly getting smaller.
Soon after, the snake completely escaped the semicircle and, to my surprise, became like a dark-haired girl with pitch-black hair.
The identity of the snake was Halun, another general of Hage in the demon realm.
In Yuma’s current life, he is the one who caused the tragedy in Rokshire, and the demon who killed Duran Zak during the Dragon Horse War along with Vargas.
The snake was her true form.
“Halun…!”
“That’s the bitch who finished off Rochshire and tore off Ariel’s wings!”
Hwareuk!
As soon as Marlon saw Halun, sparks sparked. He was ready to rush at Halun at any moment, but Yuma raised his hand to stop him.
“Calm Hungbun, Marlon.”
“If you kill that bitch like Vargas…
“Wait a minute. It doesn’t look like you’re here to fight.”
“what? Then what did that bitch come for?”
In reality, Halun did not radiate speculation or murder at all. Rather, he even said this while sticking his huge ax floating in the air into the ground.
[A demon from the underworld, who can no longer be called a human, visited the underworld, but I’m sorry I couldn’t greet you in advance.] I wasn’t being
sarcastic. Halun was staring at Yuma with a strange sense of awe.
It was a stark contrast to the time he spoke to Yuma in Rochshire and asked why he was angry with him.
“What do you mean, Hallun?”
Yuma took a step forward and said.
[It is as I said. My god doesn’t welcome the owner of the underworld very much, so I’ll have to come and say hello.] “Your attitude is very different from that in Rochshire. Are there any medicines in the underworld?”
[I know that the owner of the underworld descended to Inse not too long ago.
Aren’t you here today to fight my god?] When Yuma didn’t answer, Halun continued.
[You may be wondering why I have this attitude toward you who are trying to kill my god.
]
[Before that, there is something I want to ask the owner of the underworld.]
“Tell me.”
[Do you think ‘another world’ could exist?]
It was a story about the new world of Resol.
At that point, Yuma was able to guess why Halun’s attitude toward her had changed.
Unlike Sekmeira, Halun does not believe in Rysol.
She was very displeased with the fact that Secmeira was transplanting the underworld dimension into the human world.
In the first place, even during the dragon horse war in the past.
The reason Hagye invaded Inse was to create a ‘colony’. Their original purpose was to use human beings to increase Sekmeira’s authority and even swallow the underworld.
However, now that Yuma has returned, the situation has completely changed.
Ha-gye’s point of view on royalties was no longer a ‘colonial’. Sekmeira is giving up not only royalties but also Hagye, her home base, in order to buy time for Risol to open the door to the New World.
Even the general, Vargas, did not know this fact, and Halun was openly expressing his disapproval.
“I see what you mean. Are you saying that you’re here because you don’t like your master collaborating with Risol?”
[That’s right. There is no such thing as an ‘other world’ where you can escape from Hwa’s second coming. My god was seduced by Risol.]
“So you’re going to join me?”
[Haha… Betrayal. You speak very humanly. I cannot leave the god I serve just because I have a different mindset in my subordinate body.
I just want to know the thoughts of the owner of the underworld.]
“Really? Gallos betrayed Amanzo very easily.”
[Because there is an abyss behind him.
It’s just that the previous Underworld Demon God didn’t recognize it, and he must have already escaped from the Demon God’s subordination through the Abyss a long time ago
.
[Before the tree was damaged, it was originally one.]
Yuma began to slowly move toward Hallun. Even by then, Ariel was down and out of breath, so Marlon did not follow Yuma.
Serang!
Halun and the black semicircle were reflected on Ascalon’s pure white blade. Even as Yuma approached with a sword, Halun showed no sign of moving the ax that had been laid on the floor.
“I also don’t think there is any world where I can escape from Hwa.”
Finally, Yuma came right in front of Halun and stopped. Halun looked down at the floor without making eye contact with Yuma.
[It’s fortunate that one of death and reincarnation is strong now that the end is right in front of you.]
“Thank you?”
[Yes, I’m glad.]
Whiik!
Suddenly, Yuma widened her eyes and swung her Ascalon. It was a blow that did not apply an aura, but Hallun’s right arm fell to the floor leaving a smooth cut.
Black blood poured out like a fountain. Halun was just standing still.
“Does the four bitch who made Rochshire dare say the word fortunate in front of me?”
Body regeneration was a common ability found among high-ranking demons, but Halun didn’t even do that.
[All beings except humans never go against the providence.
For me to commit slaughter and murder in exchange for a price is just something like force majeure.]
“Yes, I have heard such stories from other races. So what? Do you want me to understand your right and forgive you?”
[No.]
“Then resist me. Since the entrance to the underworld is right in front, wouldn’t it be useless to limit intervention?”
Super!
Ascalon cuts Halun’s left arm.
It felt like a thousand fires were rising inside me.
It didn’t seem like he was taking revenge at all because the demon who had annihilated countless civilians in Rochshire and the culprit who killed his former teacher had no intention of fighting.
[Anyway, if you descend, an existence like me will disappear in an instant. As a Demon God, you won’t even need a subordinate.]
“Regenerate your arm and pick up your weapon.”
[Don’t you want me to resist you, Master of the Underworld?]
“Then why are you just being held still!”
As Yuma shouted with energy, the field of snow surrounding the entrance to the underworld turned over. As if an avalanche had occurred, the snowflakes that had been swept away formed a mass and scattered in all directions.
“It is all about standing up against me. I mean, don’t say that after killing so many people, there is no more attachment to life.”
[Lord of the Underworld, the end…
is not a natural thing.] Yuma cut Harlun once more before stopping.
[Even a demon like me who was born for slaughter and destruction, a dragon who watches the world and trembles with hypocrisy, and even a single insect that exists only to be eaten and reproduced. No one wants the ultimate end.]
“What are you talking about now.”
[I am resisting, even as a subordinate body, the coming of the discordant end in which even good, evil, light, and darkness become meaningless. So I can’t fight you.]
