Part 2 Episode 71
[Asmodeus…]
Hazard repeated the unfamiliar name.
It’s a name I don’t remember.
That also means that he is not worth remembering.
[I will handle it.]
Bordeaux said this, further strengthening his spirit.
Pazzzzz-.
Unrefined encephalocele flows through the rare.
Since it was used on a humanoid, it cannot be said to be perfect, but it was clear that it was powerful enough to annihilate an arch-demon.
Nevertheless, the devil seemed to be in no particular shock and narrowed the distance a few more steps with an invisible face.
[There must have been dragons stationed in the rare. What did you do with those guys?]
Bordeaux asked an obvious question, saying that even if it was an ancient evil, it wouldn’t have been able to be dealt with so quietly.
[Bordeaux, head of the blue clan. That must be at your level.]
[…!!]
Pazuzu!!!
The brain planes shaped around Asmodeus were blocked.
Asmodeus spread his own curtain to block it.
The corners of Hazard’s mouth rose as he watched.
The opponent is neither an ordinary archdevil nor an ancient archvillain.
I can’t feel the magic of Beelzebub or Diablo from this guy.
[It looks like you have something you want to say to the main dragon.]
[Otherwise, there would be no reason to take such difficult steps.]
Asmodeus grinned as he looked at Bordeaux, who was still showing off his spirit.
[Looking at him, he doesn’t look like a guy who serves the Demon King, does he?]
[He is indeed the archduke who was competing for the best spot in the underworld. His head turns quickly.]
[Are you trying to join hands with the main dragon to become the Demon King?]
In the past, before the Demon Beast King was called the Grand Duke.
I once joined hands with the Demon King and defeated the Giant King.
In the underworld of the might of the jungle, forming an alliance and forming a new force was rare and could not be considered a rare occurrence.
[It’s not a bad assumption, but it’s wrong. Demon kings and the like are not enough for the true nature of the original demon. Even the demon knows that your power surpasses that of the demon kings.]
Hazard nodded as if asking him to continue speaking.
[Hazard. You, who inherited the blood of the Demon Dragon King, are said to be the strongest among the Grand Dukes. But there is someone who made even you bow your head.]
[…]
[This guy…]
Asmodeus continued speaking, ignoring the looks of Hazard and Bordeaux.
[Kim Tae-hyun. This is the guy who defeated all the great dukes of the Underworld and took the position of King of the Underworld.]
Kim Tae-hyeon.
The unexpected name sent ripples through Hazard’s eyes.
[Well, now I have become a loser. Looking at his face, it looks like he doesn’t remember.]
Did he lose his life in the tribal war? Or was there a problem with the Demon Dragon King’s existence at the time of his return?
Asmodeus muttered those words.
These are words that Hazad cannot understand.
at that time.
[What a petty devil!!!]
Bordeaux’s anger, which he had been suppressing all along, exploded.
His size, which had gradually lost its dragon form, returned to its full dragon form.
The rare wavers and the spirit grows stronger.
Hazard quietly poured tea and opened his mouth.
[The only people who can talk to the main dragon are the leaders of the dragon clan.]
Ssssss-.
The moment when several magical powers seemed to bloom from Hazard’s body.
Asmodeus suddenly realized that he had been transported to the outside of Lair.
Before my eyes, the head of the blue clan, who had suddenly appeared in his original form, was also there.
[Isn’t it true that only spirit can be used?]
If the Fairy King uses spirits and magic to perform all kinds of tricks, the dragon race can shake the laws of the world through their innate spirit and magic.
That is why they are treated as divine beings in many places in Middle Earth.
And like now, it is possible to warp two beings with enormous existence power in a split second.
Asmodeus gazed at Bordeaux, who was displaying greater spirit than before.
A top-class ancient archdemon. This level of existence is similar to that of those who are considered close associates of the Demon King.
Even with such a person in front of him, Asmodeus’ face was peaceful.
[The original demon is also being ignored.]
No matter how much I want to test my strength, I am treated like an archdemon.
Even if it was destroyed. Even if I lost my strength.
[Remaining memories are a scary thing.]
A gloomy magical power bloomed from Asmodeus’ body.
Six horns and three pairs of wings. Three forked tails. A magic stone that emits a roaring noise.
In a split second, he unleashed the power of the Demon King and raised his thorn.
Whoops.
Neither the extreme poison of purple nor the fear of red are contained. It was just a gloomy magical power.
He flapped his wings, made eye contact with Bordeaux, and aimed his thorn.
The thunderous breath that erupted just in time was approaching as if it would erase his existence.
A laugh escapes me.
You’re just trying to test yourself with something like this.
As a price for his arrogance, Hazzard would lose a loyal subordinate.
Suddenly.
The thorns loaded with magical power split the breath.
next.
Phew.
He moved at lightning speed and drove a thorn into Bordeaux’s scales.
The strong scales of the dragon clan allowed the inner flesh to gently penetrate the thorns imbued with magic.
[…!!]
Bordeaux resisted with lightning and spirit.
Asmodeus didn’t care and poured his magic through the thorns.
The power he developed as the Demon King was ‘betrayal’.
[The original horse betrays everything.]
With a bitter laugh.
Asmodeus got under Bordeaux’s skin.
* * *
Boom.
The gigantic Demon King knelt down.
[They were ridiculous… beings…]
Their bodies were fading, showing signs of extinction.
This is because the power of existence was taken away after being predated by the doppelganger several times.
Still, there didn’t seem to be any regret on his face.
Doppelganger and Kim Tae-hyun.
This is because the bondage of predation and dream-eating they unleash is not at a level that can be prevented even if given one more opportunity.
It’s not a matter of compatibility.
An image of a doppelganger confirmed through forced infiltration.
The origin of predation and the birth of dream eating.
Constellations outside.
Constellation War.
After learning that huge truth, everything became meaningless.
The fear that I thought could subdue anything cooled coldly.
[I understand why Asura made that choice.]
Unlike his blurry appearance, Diablo’s voice gradually became clearer.
The effect was that the laws that were in effect were gradually loosening as extinction approached.
Diablo’s gaze glanced at Taehyun.
A being who started out as a species called humans, became the King of the Underworld, and even defeated the King of the Upper World.
An entity that eventually became an external constellation, but returned and was destroyed.
It’s just laughable that I tried to control such a person’s thoughts.
[….]
I recalled an incident from the fragmentary memories Diablo read.
Taehyun Kim and Gilper. It was a memory from the past when I had to deal with my imperfectly resurrected self.
[is it. Even in the current timeline, there was no place for the original demon.]
Diablo meekly admitted his defeat.
Even if the demon race becomes the ruler of the underworld.
‘Fear’ alone cannot bring down the upper world.
No matter how long it takes to subdue the upper world, the probability of extinction in the constellation war carried out with the universe of the three thousand worlds on its back is infinite.
Is it because he was born strong?
Diablo was not suited to struggling.
He was on the winning side and reigning.
[Cluck, click, click.]
Diablo’s laughter was drowned out by the sandstorm blowing in the desert.
Taehyun came in front of him and bent down.
“It’s a different reaction than you thought? “I thought you would struggle a little harder.”
It’s not a mockery.
I’m sincerely curious.
Why don’t you obey yourself like Asura?
Don’t you try to survive even if you owe your life to them?
[The status of a demon king is not so easily maintained. You probably know it well.]
“Well, that’s right.”
Taehyun answered that indifferently.
Grand Dukes are the highest ranked people in the underworld.
Depending on one’s inclination, it is quite possible to lose one’s status simply by bowing one’s head.
Diablo, who was called the Lord of Terror, also seemed to be that kind of guy.
‘Gilpere must also have something going on.’
It is necessary to keep an eye on her movements as she returns with her memories retained.
That’s when Taehyun was thinking that way.
[The power of the original demon will be absorbed by you.]
“Yes, I will use it well.”
Click, click, click.
Diablo let out a futile roar.
This is because I can’t help but laugh at the attitude of treating the Demon King’s power as just an accessory.
In fact, that is why I have no regrets about life.
[Kim Tae-hyun. The second battle was also a defeat for the main demon.]
Diablo’s appearance became noticeably blurred.
[Victory… within your realm…]
Slur.
Diablo’s appearance completely disappeared.
Taehyun stood up and looked behind the doppelganger.
The demon world that he embodied.
Its presence has been further strengthened.
This is thanks to the fact that he was able to prey on and imitate the body contained in part of Diamante’s image a while ago, and by devouring Diablo, he was able to imitate it even closer to perfection.
In other words, it was safe to assume that Diablo’s control of the demon world was transferred to his doppelganger.
[If someone sees it, even a colleague will think he’s dead.]
The doppelganger sneered and snapped his fingers.
The territory of the demon world expanded, and the magical power of fear descended on the area.
“Let’s meet again right away?”
Taehyun sighed and prepared for a new battle.
Doppelgangers aren’t the only thing that took away Diablo’s existence.
He himself also gained a considerable amount of existence through a dream. Moreover, the holy power I used before still remains.
I didn’t think I would lose even if I fought again in this place where I was free to use my dreams and holy powers.
[No, joining you is a little later.]
“That’s something I’m grateful for.”
[Bring another guy too.]
“It’s good to see such an active attitude. But you don’t have to.”
Taehyun unleashed purple magic power.
The Elven battle was shared through a sense of connection to Rosaria.
She was tearing Beelzebub to shreds while performing a strange, unknown sword dance.
The Demon King’s head rolled on the floor, his wings and tail were chopped off, and the magic stone was pulled out and retracted several times.
[You crazy bitch.]
The doppelganger clicked her tongue when she saw that.
If this continues, it is a foregone conclusion that Beelzebub will disappear.
Beelzebub is an excellent prey that can further increase the power and presence of the Demon World.
However, in this situation, if you intercept your prey, you may end up having to fight that crazy bitch at the risk of your life.
It’s time to quench your appetite with regret for your doppelganger.
Just right.
Taehyun snapped his fingers.
suddenness.
Grumbling.
Rosaria’s bundle of tentacles crawled across the ground and grabbed Beelzebub’s body.
The maw protruding from the tentacle greedily ate the Demon King’s wings and tail horn.
Immediately after, a purple energy came to Taehyun, and the doppelganger’s demon world revealed its even more sinister presence.
[her… Did you intend to do this from the beginning?]
“It would be difficult to meaninglessly extinguish an existence as excellent as that of the Archduke.”
Giggling.
The doppelganger burst out laughing.
[I’m still plotting tricks with a face like a gentleman. But in the end, I’m the one who stands at the top.]
“It’s still the same for you too.”
[If you’re done with your business, get out now.]
Taehyun’s vision reversed at the one-sided order to congratulate the guests.
Future plans begin to form in my head.
Captured two demon kings.
Now it was time to end the demon war.
