Episode 327:
The Deepest Level. A hidden castle somewhere.
There, a huge demon-shaped monster was eating something.
It was a human being who had become a cold corpse.
There were dozens of such bodies, regardless of race.
Tsk tsk. Tsk tsk. Tsk tsk.
A sound similar to that of a wild beast devouring meat echoed throughout the castle.
After the devil had eaten the humans, only bone fragments remained.
All the flesh except the bones was eaten and the blood was sucked.
After finishing his meal, the devil opened his mouth.
[You are a disposition.]
[…!!]
At those words, a high-ranking demon-shaped monster looked at the Great Devil with a questioning expression.
[It has no nutritional value. If it has no nutritional value, there should be more of it. You probably didn’t try to appease my hunger like this.]
The Great Devil chuckled.
However, to those who were listening, it was a more terrifying voice than anyone else.
The high-ranking monster knelt down and bowed its head.
[Please save me. Mr. Gorfer, please… give me one more chance…]
[It’s late. It would be better to find someone else.]
Great Devil Gorfer.
He smiled wryly and stretched out his hand.
Just wait for your fingernails to become dyed with purple magic.
Chi profit. Chii Iik.
The floor melted from the liquefied magic power.
Phew.
Kujik.
Gorfer’s claws were embedded in the magic stone of a higher-species monster.
The body of the high-species monster that was trembling went limp.
He lost his life when his fingernail pierced the magic stone.
Gorper began eating the body of the monster that had been his subordinate until a moment ago.
Kujik. Kujik. Kujik.
The strong body of a higher-species monster could not resist Gorper’s touch and was torn apart with absurd ease.
[My hunger is finally gone.]
After finishing his meal, Gorper expressed some feeling of fullness.
[Tsk. Beelzebub is too much. How long are you going to keep me stuck in a place like this?]
Gorper clicked his tongue, thinking of his master.
Beelzebub’s highest rank. Archdemon Gorfer.
He was the owner of Castle 66, one of the hidden areas of Beelzebub.
The reason it was given the symbolic number 66 is because Beelzebub is secretly training it to win the next turf war.
However, regardless of the top species Gorfer’s loyalty to Beelzebub, he could not bear to spend time in this stuffy place.
He was a born glutton and wanted to eat the bodies of various monsters.
The great power of the great devil stirred to dominate other monsters.
At least for a moment.
There were times when he dared to plan actions that would defy the Demon King’s orders.
It was around that time.
Beelzebub’s contractor, Kasim Zort, entered the hidden realm.
He found out about the existence of the 66th castle by chance and, unable to control his curiosity, stepped in and was discovered.
From Gorper’s point of view, he was a difficult guy to deal with.
Originally, the existence of the 66 Castle should not have been discovered easily, but there was nothing they could do as they were the master’s contractors to destroy the evidence.
I thought about it for three days and nights.
Even while eating the monsters caught in front of Kassim Zort.
At that time, Kassim Jort showed his wit.
“I will sacrifice a human to Gorper.”
It was a bold suggestion from a human who had observed Gorper’s eating habits for three days and nights.
A bug that sacrifices its own people for its own survival.
Gorfer laughed.
However, Kassim Zort’s proposal was not one-sided.
“Please tell me the coordinates of this place instead. “Great devil Gorper.”
Kassim Jort even bowed and politely asked.
He said that the reason was to use his subordinates in his castle.
Gorfer couldn’t help but laugh again.
[He’s arrogant.]
I tried cutting off his arms and legs as an example, but he didn’t give up his opinion.
I thought I knew why the Demon King had made him his contractor.
A human named Kassim Zort had already obtained a body that transcended the human bug, and its nature was very compatible with that of the demon race.
Gorfer’s worries did not last long.
If he hadn’t suggested it first, he might have gone crazy soon.
Gorper performed a spell on Kassim Zort along with the coordinates of 66 stars.
Kasim Jort said that his skills had been strengthened and said something that Gorfer could not understand.
[Show sincerity.]
Despite Gorper’s threats, Kasim Jort continued to sacrifice humans.
everyone. Awakened and non-awakened. It did not discriminate between players and mines.
Many humans kidnapped by Harsultan’s demons became Gorper’s prey.
Gorper was satisfied because he was able to appease his hunger, and Kasim Zort was satisfied because he was able to control numerous high-ranking monsters through the ‘Devil Gate’.
It wasn’t long ago that a rift appeared in their relationship.
Even after consuming a considerable amount of the superior species mass-produced by Gorper the other day.
The number of humans offered by Kassim Zort has decreased significantly.
Gorfer was furious and urged him on.
I put pressure on him, threatening to destroy the spell if something like this happened again.
After sending humans to the castle several times, Gorfer’s discomfort subsided.
However, for some time now, humans have not been sent again.
Kassim Zort.
Damn bug guy.
If you show up this time, I won’t let you go.
Crack.
Gorfer, who quickly became hungry, was about to yell for the next meal to be brought.
There was something strange about him.
It was clearly a human, but the faint lingering scent of magical power was clearly his own.
Gorfer was certain that Kassim Sjort had arrived.
However, for some reason, the place that felt like it was not near the castle and there were only two people there.
You should ask why.
The Great Devil spread his wings.
He left the castle and floated the large body in the air.
Toward the border between the 66 provinces he rules and the deepest level.
* * *
‘It’s a big deal.’
That’s what Taehyun thought after watching Bang Chae-soo’s condition.
It is a top-quality healing potion that commands a huge price.
However, for Bang Chae-su, who did not have a well-trained body, the effect was only as simple first aid.
‘We have to somehow activate the gate’s apostle.’
Perhaps the time given to Bang Chae-su was about an hour.
If he couldn’t escape the deepest part of it, Bang Chae-su would face death.
My fists clenched at the absurd situation.
‘Calm down, Taehyun Kim. If the skill was sealed, there must be a reason.’
With that in mind, I looked at the status window again.
‘Predation’ as well as ‘Apocalypse’, ‘Memorize’, ‘Apostle of the Gate’, ‘Heart of a Higher Species’, ‘Eyes of a Higher Species’, ‘Ataraxia’, ‘Rampage of Blood’, ‘Dragon’s Wrath’, ‘Demonization’, and ‘Devil’s Demon’ ‘Saliva’ ‘the element of origin’.
There were no skills that could be used for any of them.
The situation was no different with the summoning skill.
This is because the magical power in the body that was excessively suppressed in order to activate the skill is mixed up.
Taehyun realized his mistake late.
He ended up risking his life while trying to obtain the ‘Devil Gate’ used by Kassim Zort.
If it were Taehyun’s own life, he wouldn’t have thought it was a big deal.
‘The situation is different for the elderly.’
In his previous life, he became a master recognized not only in New Korea but also around the world.
By strengthening numerous awakened people, he made a mark in strengthening humanity’s power, and as a result, many people were saved from demons and demons.
It is a life too precious to lose just to activate one skill.
Taehyun once again searched for a solution to the current situation.
‘You need horsepower. There is a strong magical power that can release the magical power entangled in the body…’
If it was possible to control magical energy at the deepest level, it would only be of the highest level.
Is it possible to face the highest level of competition with just physical abilities and no skills?
‘First of all, find the higher species first…’
That’s when Taehyun thought.
fluttering.
I thought I heard the sound of wings flapping somewhere.
thud.
“…!!”
A huge monster fell in front of Taehyun.
He was the master of Castle 66 and the great devil Gorfer.
[It’s not that human. What are you?]
Gorper growled, disappointed that it was not Kasim Jort.
Just that alone felt like a significant presence.
‘The highest species…!!’
It was not difficult to infer that this was not an ordinary top-class species, but one that had truly inherited the magic power of the Archduke.
[Didn’t you ask? Kassim Zort. Where is that bug-like guy?]
Gorfer looked around.
However, there were no more signs to be detected.
This means that one of the previous two came here through the spell he cast on Kassim Zort.
no way.
[You guy. Did you kill that bug?]
“….”
Taehyun was silent.
Gorfer took that silence as an affirmation.
shaking.
Gorfer’s large body shook.
The magical power was boiling over.
I don’t know how they dealt with that persistent life force.
This was due to the fact that the food that had been steadily supplied disappeared.
In an instant, the poisonous atmosphere around became even stronger.
“Kkulk…kkulk….”
Black blood flowed back from Bang Chae-su’s mouth.
The complexion had turned purple.
‘Addiction phenomenon…!! ‘We need to get away from that guy.’
This is when Tae-hyun, who has become desperate, is trying to run away with Bang Chae-soo on his back.
Tiring.
[Quest ‘Gorper’s Spell’ has been created.]
‘What?’
[Success reward – Skill Devil Gate (SSS) activated.]
Taehyun’s body was shaken by the unexpected quest.
Gorfer.
This is because, through the quest that just came to mind, it became clear that the guy in front of me was a top species that had truly inherited Beelzebub’s magic.
‘I’m embarrassed.’
Originally, he would have attacked Gorper without thinking about anything else.
Taehyun’s power was not at its best right now.
Moreover, Bang Chae-su’s life was still approaching its end due to the poison from earlier.
30 minutes. No, 20 minutes?
If Gorfer emits magical power like now, he will not live for less than 10 minutes.
[This is ridiculous. I never would have thought that a guy like that would face death from a human being. Hey, how did you get in here?]
Jeopuk.
Gorper took a step closer to Taehyeon and asked.
“Knock… Kak….”
That alone made Bang Chae-su’s moans become harsher.
There was no more choice.
Wow.
Taehyun clenched his fist.
and.
“It’s the grim reaper.”
The first form of the ancient martial arts of New Korea is discovered.
bang.
Taehyun’s fist hit Gorper in the face.
Tiring.
[Quest ‘Gorper’s Spell’ was accepted.]
[Progress rate – 0.1%]
A message appeared saying that the quest was accepted.
That was it.
* * *
“….”
[….]
Taehyun and Gorper looked at each other for a moment.
It was Gorfer who spoke first.
[Could it be that he attacked me?]
“You must be mistaken.”
Unlike the answer.
Chonjing, the second form of ancient Chinese martial arts. Type 3 Cheokgyeong. Type 4 Sungyeong. Type 5 penetroscope.
Taehyun’s attack continued.
Even though he was pouring out attacks, his expression did not look good.
The progress rate of the quest is increasing by 0.1%.
It was because he could feel the gap between himself and Gorfer, who could not use magical power, through the sensation of his fist.
‘shit.’
Taehyun belatedly distanced himself from the guy.
Since the attack wasn’t working, the idea was to keep him away from Bang Chae-su as much as possible.
[Are you done?]
Gorfer said and waved his hand.
Even though I quickly dodged it.
Pipit.
Grumbling.
A straight cut appeared on my chest.
[There’s no way he would have been the victim of a prank like this.]
Grumble.
[Show your might, bug.]
Saliva flowing from Gorper’s mouth.
It contrasted with the blood flowing through Taehyun’s wound.
