Player returns after 10,000 years Chapter 500
Return (1)
Hahahaha!
A clear laugh rang out.
– Great.
The body of one of the demons lying behind the Doomguard was split in half.
I thought I hid it well,
but… I couldn’t fool the Demon King’s eyes.
A demon emerged from within, with hands made of sharp saw blades.
It was rare among devils, wearing a neat suit and neatly brushing his hair.
Arachil. The corps commander in command of the ‘Army of Hell’ bowed down with a modest gesture.
Even so, even though we were one family, it would be impossible if we didn’t recognize each other.
Kang Woo said in a deep, subdued voice.
family.
The word, which was obvious, felt very strange for some reason.
Fellow family… Yes, that was the case. It’s a word that doesn’t suit the devil, but the devil was different.
Arakail laughed.
Although he was an infinitely cruel demon king to his enemies, it was a demon named Oh Kang-woo who treated the demons he accepted into his family once as if they were literally ‘family’.
He was more like a devil than anyone else… but the one who was less like a devil than anyone else was Demon King. Arakail spoke in a faint voice as if reminiscing.
I met Kang Woo over 300 years ago. It was at the point where he had just defeated the first Archduke. A lot of… yes, a lot of stuff.
Fight with him and win with him.
He defeated the forces of the seven grand dukes and
obtained the Nine Heavens Hell.
It is an honor to meet you again, my King.
Arakail bowed respectfully.
……
Gangwoo lowered his head with deeply sunken eyes.
I carefully laid Doomgard’s breathless body on the floor.
He closed the eyes of the dead Doomgard with his eyes open and opened his mouth quietly.
yes i’m happy too I never thought that a touching
reunion would happen with such a slap on the back of the head.
ha ha ha. I didn’t even know it would turn out like this.
Aracail tapped the floor with his saw-blade hand.
You Arachail…
The Balrog glared at Arakail with burning eyes.
He clenched his huge fists as if he would attack them at any moment.
wait.
Gangu stopped the balrog and slowly walked forward.
He looked at Arakail and asked.
Let’s ask one thing.
You are welcome to ask any questions.
Arakail smiled brightly and bowed her head.
Why did you do that?
asked in a low voice.
ha ha ha!!
Arakail laughed brightly and looked at Doomgard, who had collapsed on the floor.
If you’re asking about the reason for killing Doomgard…
Tsk lightly clicked his tongue.
Because you rejected my offer to the end.
proposal?
yes.
Arakail opened her arms wide.
A proposal to betray the Demon King and join Baal’s army.
no no. I’m not very good at expressing myself. Betrayal… You can’t call this a betrayal.
He shakes his head and bursts out laughing.
Isn’t it natural that the devil pursues his desire?
To the devil, desire is an instinct. Only desire makes the devil demonic and sustains the devil as a demon.
Desire
is everything.
Arakai Yiyiil!!!
cooong!
The unbearable roar of the Balrog exploded and shook the surrounding land.
The Balrog violently clenched his fists and kicked his feet.
clap clap clap.
Black armor began to cover his body.
– Chiyiyiik!!
White steam spewing out from between the armor
.
The balrog flapped its black wings in the misty steam.
***
– Kaaaaang!!! Arakail raised a hand made of saw blades.
The balrog’s fist and saw blade collided.
A terrifying metal sound resonated widely.
Hmm! The Balrog took a short breath and pumped power into his fist.
Red muscles swelled up like they were about to explode.
How dare you dare…!
Eyes twisted in anger.
You mean you betrayed the king!!
For a balrog, betraying the king was an unacceptable felony for any reason.
-Kooung! Quaang!
The balrog’s fists swung wildly.
The sound of shells exploding resounded in succession.
king! to you guys! how many! gave it to you! thud! thud! thud! thud!
He let out a roar and slammed his fist like a lump of metal.
Arakail crossed his saw blades to block his attack.
The gap between the crossed saw blades began to widen a little each time the fist landed.
You mean you forgot!!!
– Kwaaaaang!
The Balrog clasped his fists together and slammed down with the weight of his entire body.
Pacan!
Arachail’s saw blade opened to both sides with a clear metal sound.
The Balrog lowered his stance, pulling his right foot back.
He twisted his body and raised his right fist high.
sky.
Using the momentum, he threw out a fist with rotation.
Break!!
One of the few bare-handed fighting techniques he learned from Kang Woo was manifested through Balrog’s hand.
A fist with the power to bring down even a huge mountain in one blow struck Arakail’s body.
but.
haha. You’ve changed a lot since I couldn’t even see Balrog. Didn’t you usually use a whip originally?
Arakail ‘received’ the Balrog’s fists pouring towards her with her chest straight.
The balrog’s fist bounced terribly from the invisible power surrounding Arakail’s body.
This is…
The Balrog’s expression twisted roughly.
An unknown power that surrounds Arakail’s body.
The Balrog knew all too well what that power was.
whatever it is Arakail’s lips twisted upward.
He was just an insignificant existence without even a godhead.
He giggled and quickly lowered his saw-bladed hand.
Mighty divine power emanated from the demon pierced by the saw blade.
The Balrog leaned back with an awe-inspiring expression.
but.
– Chow!! haha! Lightly slicing through the black armor, a hideous wound appeared on the balrog’s chest.
Black blood gushed out like a fountain. The Balrog rolled on the floor clutching his chest.
big…!
The Balrog bit his lip violently.
‘Are you a god again?
He clenched his fists covered in black armor.
divinity.
A power that creates a disparity that is so unreasonable simply by possessing it.
aww
The sound of grinding teeth escaped from the mouth.
-Come to think of it, you haven’t awakened to your godhead yet, have you?
Suddenly, Kim Si-hun’s voice passed through my head.
Those were the words he said in passing before heading to the frozen temple.
The balrog’s face contorted like a yaksha.
I know very well that Kim Si-hoon did not mean to mock.
But
damn damn damn!!
*****
Boom!
The Balrog slammed the floor violently with clenched fists.
Whoop Whoop.
Black blood flowed from the open wound in his chest.
The Balrog looked down at the blood.
There is a way.
His new power, the Paewanggap (霸王御), becomes stronger with blood as a medium.
In other words, the more blood shed, the stronger the power.
‘then.
It’s only temporary, but there is a way to obtain the power to fight on an equal footing with beings with divine powers.
But…
the Balrog’s eyes were filled with conflict.
He clenched his fists with an anxious expression.
why?
Arakail’s sneer was directed at him.
**
You seem to have realized that you can’t do anything with the loyalty you cry out for, right?
The balrog’s expression hardened.
Arakail continued with a hazy voice as if drunk with power.
Loyalty achieves nothing. Nothing can be achieved by faith or will.
A hand made of saw blades was raised high.
only desire.
It’s the devil’s instinct. This feeling that makes demons exist as demons.
Only desire completes us.
Arakail shrugged and laughed.
Divinity obtained through a deal with Amon.
The mighty power excited his body.
burned hot
Don’t you think so too?
Arakail looked back at Kang Woo and asked.
Kang Woo stared at Arakail with his mouth firmly shut.
The divinity felt from Arachail was strong enough to be compared to that of Gaia.
ha.
Kang Woo let out a deep sigh. ‘There’s no way that Arakail will be able to awaken his godhood on his own.’
The answer was fixed. ‘Did he become an incarnation?’
It was unknown whether Arachail had become an incarnation of Baal or one of the alien gods who cooperated with Baal .
But what is certain is that now he has a power incomparable to the past.
‘Is this… is this the countermeasure you prepared? Bar Al’
It is meaningless just to rally the Nine Heavens Hell.
As soon as the restrictions of the law were lifted and beings with divinities became active in the material world, demons also needed a divinity to fight on an equal footing with them. ‘
I thought
I would prepare a countermeasure against the godhead .’
He hadn’t even thought that one of the countermeasures against that divinity was to turn his old subordinate into an incarnation.
A low laugh escaped Kangwoo’s mouth.
He covered his face with one hand and shook his shoulder.
What the fuck you say is so fucking grandiose.
Only desire completes the devil.
What an outrageous expression this is.
So, to put it simply, I betrayed you because the honey that came out of licking the ass of a Baal baby was sweet.
He said that he had betrayed for some grand reason, but in the end, the reason for betrayal was extremely simple.
Hmm. You still have a bad mouth
.
Arakail frowned and glared at Kang Woo.
You haven’t seen it for a day or two.
Yes. The Demon King has always been like that.
Arakail said in a faint voice.
Memories of the past with Kang Woo passed through my head.
A brutal and brutal war.
The long, long battles until the seven grand dukes fell to their knees and reigned in the prison of the Nine Heavens.
Ah, it was a really good memory when I think about it now.
Arakail smiled brightly and trembled.
but.
That was the end.
After ruling the Nine Heavens Hell, the master he served changed.
You no longer desire.
Arakail looked at Kang Woo with a contemptuous expression.
Yes.
After devouring all the seven grand dukes, the demon king’s choice was to put everything down and return to Earth.
There, you lost the reason for your existence as a demon anymore.
The devil is a being that desires.
Only desire makes the devil exist and only desire completes the devil.
However,
the demon king, who once ruled the Nine Heavens Hell,
gave up ‘desiring’ any more. After the battle with Baal was over, the image of the mad king who seemed to eat everything in the world no longer remained.
Year 1
‘The devil needs a new king.
There is no need for a king who has lost his desire.
The devil needed a new king full of boundless desires.
‘Yes, Baal-nim is…’
The devil burning with transparently pure desire is ‘a being fit for a new king.
Aracail smiled broadly and raised a hand made of saw blades.
you are the king
He said to Kang Woo as if he was sentenced. Your time is over.”
