Episode 398
Meanwhile, Taehyun had returned to Area 15 where the battle took place.
Using the power of Mastema, he took over District 15 and the area ruled by Gorper Gilper.
For the time being, even the Great Devil who knew the coordinates would not be able to enter without permission.
The only gate is connected to Rosaria’s true nature.
“Have you grown up yet?”
Taehyun muttered as he looked up at the huge divine beast.
Then he brought the Elven he was holding to the sacred tree.
There was no reaction.
[Stop handing it over here. The main woman will be looking around with the Elven.]
[The main woman will also be with us!!]
Typhon hurriedly followed Rosaria.
“The territory of the demon race has become the territory of the fairy race. “It’s strange.”
[Is the Great Devil just protecting the Divine Beast?]
Gilper said as if he was dumbfounded.
Is it because it’s been a while since we’re alone?
Taehyun asked about other species that existed in ancient times.
This is because she still remembers many things while avoiding the laws of the Abyss.
[Kim Tae-hyun. Brother of Bonma. Words have power.]
“So you won’t tell me?”
[There is no Rosaria, so there is nothing that cannot be done.]
“He is truly a righteous brother.”
Soon various species were mentioned in Gilper’s mouth.
Among them, the one that caught Taehyeon’s attention was a dwarf tribe called dwarves.
“Where are they now?”
To an indifferent question.
[Olympus of the upper world. Among them, he was taken by a man named Hephaestus.]
I ended up hearing an unexpected answer.
* * *
Upper World and Olympus.
The reason I was surprised by the unexpected answer was not simply because it was a story from the mythical era.
“If it’s Olympus….”
[These are the guys who rule the four heavens. There are countless monsters of the ancient Great Devil level.]
“….”
[Hephaestus is no different. Although he was crazy about weapons, his status was comparable to that of the great ancient devils.]
In addition, the names of the absolutes who rule the four heavens came out of Gilper’s mouth.
Zeus, the lord of the four heavens.
Poseidon Hades Athena Hera etc.
Some of them have the power to be considered archdukes.
He said he also had to taste the scent of death several times.
I lost my senses at Gilpere’s words.
As far as Taehyun knows, the upper world is divided into ten heavenly realms.
However, if the power that controls just one heaven is that much.
‘It is impossible to win a tribal war.’
The difference in power was so great that the plans I had prepared so far were in vain, and my mind was spinning.
A turf war that determines the rank of summer princes.
I thought it was just a stepping stone for the next race war.
The one who becomes the strongest among the princes challenges the Underworld King and leads the next race war.
However, according to Gilpere’s words, even if all the power of the lower world was gathered, it seemed like it would only be enough to fight against a few heavenly worlds.
A power gap that makes it impossible to call it a race war in the first place.
Gilper seemed to have read those thoughts as well.
[It would be natural to be so surprised. Because it is an unthinkable enemy in the current world.]
Taehyun did not deny it.
[The Abyss that the original demon saw for the first time after being born as a Great Devil. The underworld at that time was different from now.]
Various species spread throughout the Abyss, formed groups, prospered in their own way, and had numerous powers.
It was a difficult time to imagine in the current Abyss, where the principle of the fittest prevails.
“But why?”
Why did it become the way it is now?
Taehyun couldn’t help but ask.
[Baal. When he appeared in the underworld, everything changed.]
Baal, the Demon Dragon King.
He was once a grand duke who ruled as the Lord of the Dragon Tribe, but is now the King of the Upper World.
[You have quite a bit of knowledge about the King of Sanggye.]
Kindly.
She gave further explanation.
He is the one who created the current anti-aircraft system.
[Killed —-.]
Suddenly I couldn’t hear Gilfer’s words.
[—–.]
“What is this… why is the voice…?”
Unlike Taehyun, Gilper looked indifferent.
[Didn’t I tell you? The Law of the Abyss does not simply restrict memories and actions.]
Words have power.
That’s all I can say right now.
Even this has expanded its scope beyond belief compared to before.
I shook my head and muttered to myself.
She seemed to understand to some extent the principles of the magic created by the King of Hagye.
[One thing is certain. Ever since the current King of the Lower World appeared, the upper world began to feel uncomfortable towards the lower world. It must have been confirmed that they were no longer perfect absolutes amid the frequent racial wars.]
This was information that could not be obtained from Rosaria or other archdukes whose memories were incomplete.
‘It’s an unexpected harvest.’
I wanted to ask her everything she knew.
“I guess all I can tell you right now is that this is it.”
[Rosaria’s words are not wrong. It would be meaningless if I couldn’t find the answer myself.]
It was still a puzzling statement, but I didn’t ask any more questions.
I simply changed the topic to talk about preparing for an attack by great demons, as was the original purpose of coming here.
Gilper left, saying that nothing is perfect.
The only thing left in front of the huge divine beast was Taehyun.
“king. “What on earth are you planning?”
From his own return to the current divine beast.
I couldn’t shake the thought that everything was planned by the king.
I wanted to ask.
What does the resurrection of the Fairy King mean to your plans?
Why did you cast such a troublesome spell?
“I can tell you that much.”
Even though I knew I wouldn’t hear an answer.
All I could do was talk to myself like that.
“….”
That’s when Taehyun was quietly looking at Shinsoo.
suddenness.
Tiring.
[Skill Memorize (SSS) has been activated.]
“…!!”
My vision became dark as the message appeared.
* * *
When I opened my eyes again.
It was clearly in front of Shinsoo, but it was different from the form of Shinsoo that Taehyun knew.
It was incomparably gigantic, and a huge forest was formed around the divine beast with just as many trees.
Long-eared fairies resembling elves laughed.
It was a peaceful day like something you could only picture in a dream.
And suddenly.
A dark war descended from the red sky.
Beelzebub and Diablo.
The armies of the two great dukes began to trample on the fairies.
The resistance of the fairies was strong, but the attacks of Diablo and the great demons who followed him were also not light.
Fairy King Elven.
Beelzebub was not the only one who dealt with the girl who had assimilated the divine beast.
Dozens of great demons following him surrounded Shinsu.
Among them, there was a face Taehyun recognized.
Gorper and Gilper.
And the great evil Mamon Mephisto Ashura, whom I had seen before.
The ancient great devils who were no less than them targeted the Elven along with Beelzebub.
The Elven was not pushed back at all.
Rather, the colorless magic power overwhelmed the demons who took advantage of their numerical superiority.
If the ancient great demons had sacrificed themselves to divert the attention of the Fairy King, and Beelzebub, who went berserk, had not polluted the Divine Beast with his power.
If they hadn’t succeeded in poisoning Shinsu in the end, there would have been no doubt about the Elven’s victory.
The Elven’s power was drastically weakened by the contaminated divine water.
Even so, it was not inferior to Beelzebub.
This is Taehyun’s second reckless driving that he also knows about.
And the third runaway that I haven’t experienced yet.
Magicite horn tail.
The Elven fell only after all three powers were unleashed and he lost his senses.
And without anyone trying to stop him.
Beelzebub’s magic, which had lost his mind, covered the Elven.
Some of the Great Devils were cheering, while others were worried that their ally Diablo would notice.
Gilper’s red eyes were deeply sunken as he watched the scene.
* * *
My vision was reversed.
In front of me was the King of the Underworld.
He frowned as he looked at the remains of the divine beast that had been contaminated and melted by Beelzebub’s power.
“Are you late?”
These were not empty words.
If there were divine beasts and Elven, they would have been able to raise the level of the lower world.
He, who was muttering to himself, suddenly unleashed dark red magic power.
Ugh.
The predatory maw devoured the remaining remains of the divine beast in one bite.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
The king stretched out his hand towards the maw of the predator, which was greedily chewing on the remains.
Tsk.
Agari, whose meal was interrupted, spit out something as if she was upset.
What was spit out was a piece of colorless magic gemstone.
A handful of magical power possessed by the Elven who was assimilated with the Divine Beast.
Although the amount of magical energy remaining is insignificant.
That alone was enough to feel the power she possessed.
The king infused his magical power into a piece of magic stone.
Tsuzzzzzz.
Colorless magic and dark red magic mixed together, and the pieces of magic stone changed into the form of green seeds.
The king was lost in thought as he looked at the seeds in his hand.
Just for a moment.
The king’s eyes turned to Taehyeon.
“You are the seed that must germinate.”
If I could talk, I would have screamed.
Do you see yourself?
However, it was impossible for Taehyun, who had no body, to do anything, and the king seemed to know that as well, so he just smiled bitterly.
He opened his mouth again as he scanned the completely polluted realm of the fairies.
“It will be in the distant future. I have no idea how many tribal wars we will have to fight. still.”
—–.
There was noise in the king’s voice saying something.
“If you see this memory, protect Shinsoo at all costs. “If you do that.”
—–.
“Completely resurrect the Fairy King.”
Taehyun was sure.
This is a message from the king to himself.
The vision reversed again.
An ancient great devil surrounds the King of the Underworld.
Mammon and Asura Mephisto Gorfer Gilfer were surrounding it.
“I came to ask for the price for eliminating the divine beast.”
There was a barrage of ridicule and insults.
A great power crushed the king.
Nevertheless.
The Maw of Predation easily blocked all of that.
“Diablo didn’t know my subject until it disappeared.”
An irresistible magical power surged from the king’s body.
“What about you guys? “Little devils.”
With its overwhelming power, it defeated the ancient great demons and reached Beelzebub.
It was a poisonous magical power that was incomparable to that of the Great Devil, but even that could not pierce the maw of predation.
“You have to pay the price for destroying the Fairy King.”
Ugh.
The maw of devouring tore off Beelzebub’s wings.
Beelzebub swore and unleashed the power of his tail.
That no one can look down on themselves.
Beelzebub, who shouted that he was the true king, showed signs of runaway magic.
At that moment, Lee Chae flashed across the king’s eyes.
“You really swallowed the Fairy King?”
[—–!!]
“This is it.”
The king let out a laugh and unleashed his magical powers anew.
The plan was to wipe out the demon race and install a new guy as king.
However, his act of being faithful to his desire and eating the Fairy King saved his life.
The king praised Beelzebub’s actions.
Beelzebub’s magic stone went berserk and changed into the form it had when dealing with the Elven.
“Don’t worry. “I didn’t mean to treat you lightly just because I said I would save your life.”
The maw of devouring devoured Beelzebub’s tail at once.
“Are horns next?”
How arrogant you were to ask that.
That figure was so similar to himself.
* * *
How much time has passed?
Rosaria was around the king.
She, with her tentacles wrapped around her, was quietly guarding the king’s side.
“The warlike nature of the archdukes will eventually take its toll on me.”
[What should the main woman do?]
“We must seal the power of the princes until a tribal war breaks out. “That would be the only way to preserve the status of the underworld where the fairies and divine beasts have disappeared.”
[Who would refuse the king’s command? I just support it.]
Rosaria bowed her head politely.
“You have too much faith in me, Rosaria.”
Rosaria’s face turned red at those words for the last time.
Hahahahaha.
As if darkness had descended, a handful of lights illuminated the view.
And what came to mind when I opened my eyes again.
Tiring.
[You have been chosen by the Divine Beast.]
It was an unexpected message.
