Episode 434. I thought so (1)
cooperation on the devil theme?
It won’t be easy, but you’ve successfully reached an agreement.
Or do you think I cared too much?
‘Because I know you’re good. Let’s relax our shoulders, Grandfel.’
Silently review the urgent update history.
The eight top demon lords excluding me and Baal.
They are neither in reality nor on the Arcana Continent.
The demonic hand was reaching out from the rift.
‘Honestly, it’s unexpected.’
It has to be.
A crack is a strange space.
Even I, who won the title of [Grand Master of Kii], didn’t fully understand the rift yet. However, it was a situation where the eight top demon kings who were born and raised in the realm of Kii were in harmony.
It’s better if you hit the white paper too.
‘It might be possible to have that much influence.’
response in reality?
The world must be shaken.
Possession alone is annoying, but a new status ailment called [Corruption]. The effect is that it can treat normal monsters like demon-type monsters.
Where did these ignorant bastards come from?
But even that is only part of it.
Considering the reality of the higher level demon king…
‘Because that’s not power.’
crack.
Because it’s unstable and uses a medium of oddity that even they don’t fully understand. It’s just that the eight top demon lords aren’t able to fully demonstrate their abilities.
At the same time, it was also the reason I could go out as usual.
“I will support you, Commander-in-Chief.”
imperial palace.
Likewise, the allied forces of the temple who heard the news of reality send me determined eyes. Among them, the momentum of the players, especially Nam Tae-min, was fierce.
“I can’t let them go well.”
crack collapse.
‘It was peaceful in the meantime.’
It’s hard to say that it’s because of me, but…
It’s true that countermeasures against collapse cracks have improved recently.
No, the frequency of collapse of cracks in the first place has been extremely low.
Of course, all the players from the Allied Crusade gathered here were veterans from the days of the Arcana Continent. It was a first-hand experience of the terrible cataclysm.
‘As the commander-in-chief, I didn’t experience it properly…’
Still, I remember that the monsters that flowed back from the rift in the early days of Cataclysm caused extreme human damage. Maybe thanks to that, I guessed the feelings of the players.
End of short silence.
A determined voice follows.
“The continent that was boiling is fleeting, but now it has calmed down. Even the Lion Heart Knights of the Empire now have the ability to go out, Commander-in-Chief. Please allow the knight of lion heart a chance to return the favor to the world of adventurers.”
It was Harkon.
‘I must have felt attached to it while staying in reality.’
In the current empire, the forces called the 4 families and the titans of the continent were gathered at my call. I scribbled the estimate in my head with a feather pen.
‘It might be possible to clear all the cracks that exist on Earth with just words. And that in a matter of hours in real time.’
Even the calculation taking into account the urgent update history.
Some may say that this is an overestimation, but it is not an exaggeration.
Who is the crusade allied forces united in foam?
Moreover, it is not that the true high-level demon lords have returned.
It’s just a taste, isn’t it?
furthermore.
‘It’s the same as never having tried my best.’
It is said that the proverb that it is better to be able to do it even if it is blank can be cited from this side.
However, this stubbornness has always been a problem.
Anyway, his love of discipline…!
“Unfortunately.”
I answered firmly.
“This is my only war.”
It was.
The problem was that the cause of the situation was the battle for the demon king. The eight top demon lords did not extend their demonic powers through the rifts to devour the Arcana continent or reality.
Keep it simple.
‘I joined forces because I didn’t like it, so those bastards.’
Ho-yeol Lee, even though I was shameless, I didn’t have a hair on my conscience.
Of course, in a big way, this is also a battle with the devil in the end.
I could have argued that it was a holy war, but…
in the end, wasn’t it because I occupied the 10th throne?
So, it means that you want to decide for yourself.
“But cracks all over the world…!”
Nam Tae-min struggled to hold back his horse’s tail. The Arkans, including Harkon, nodded to my words, but the players’ position must be different.
“…sorry.”
I don’t have to apologize, but it’s understandable enough.
‘I’ll be worried.’
In fact, that’s what I’m concerned about as well.
Could it be that my blood relatives are caught up in the collapse rift?
It’s normal to think
But in that sense, there is nothing more to worry about.
“I will protect you.”
You know because you watched
Grandfell’s terrible love of flesh and blood…!
Right now, I was desperately suppressing Grandfel’s temper.
“Up to your share.”
So rather than worrying about reality.
I want you to worry about me.
Please don’t let me, Lee Ho-yeol, suffer from ‘blackening’.
“I will take care of the Arcana Continent during my absence.”
Soon I manifested a portal.
Gooh—
I was about to step through the portal right away, but then I turned around. I can’t say it word by word because of the Grandfell style of speaking, but I felt like I had to say it no matter what.
I said it sincerely.
“Because of you, I can be away.”
“…!”
I am always grateful to everyone for following the pride of Grandfel, which is nothing more than pure compulsion. Rather… I counted the numbers in my head one by one in the light of the portal.
‘You said you had eight pupils, right?’
…how come one isn’t more?
Before I defeated Buer, who was ranked 10th.
He threw the 4th rank Gamigin into Hell.
According to the words of the dark dragon who contemplated the demon realm, it is the pinnacle.
Baal is far from reaching an agreement with the rest of the demon lords.
He said he didn’t mix words…
‘…what if?’
Kamigin, are you still alive in Hell?
*
One pupil that burned in green flames.
‘I feel dirty.’
Lee Ye-rim tried to shake off the awkwardness and hurriedly walked.
The tips for coping with crack collapse, which are often boring on TV, were helpful at times like this. No, in fact, is it more correct to say that I was lucky rather than that?
The man who made a fuss in the subway.
“Mi crazy!! Those are the chief mages of the Mage Tower!!”
Where his fingers were pointing, there were a man and a woman who were levitating.
Unusual attire and a sense of intimidation.
He was the chief wizard of the Mage Tower that most players could not face.
“Really?!”
It is natural for the general public to be surprised.
Especially in the current situation.
“I bought and lived…!”
“Huh. I really thought I was going to die.”
“I lived close to the magic tower. I didn’t know that after living in the world, I would pay the full monthly rent for my room in Seoul at the cost of my life…”
Literally magic.
The monsters pouring out of the collapse crack were evaporating neatly.
It was such a perfect response that not a single drop of flesh or blood splattered.
Perhaps because the tension was relieved, admiration erupted from everywhere.
“Seeing it in real life is even more amazing!”
A tilting head.
‘…is that tidy?’
Lee Ye-rim was the only one who could not easily sympathize. It must be because of the winged letters that Ho-yeol, the filial son of our family, sends every morning. I thought it was because my eyes got used to magic.
Yerim Lee muttered.
“…If you think about it for a moment, isn’t Ho-yeol a co-worker?”
Because Hoyeol said that was the head of the Mage Tower.
How should I say hello? And shouldn’t we ask how Hoyeol is doing in the Mage Tower? As the only three older sisters in the world, I wanted to ask questions like a chimney.
“You can evacuate this way!”
Well now is not the time for that.
Lee Ye-rim shrugged and followed the instructions.
That was the moment.
Koo Goo Goo…!
A roar came from behind.
“!”
ground shaking violently.
Because of the shock, Lee Ye-rim collapsed on the floor.
Hoo-wook.
rising dust.
I was short of breath in an instant.
Through barely open eyes.
“…huh?”
A pile of stones was visible.
It looked like the exit from the subway station we had just come out of had collapsed.
The players leading the subway passengers shouted.
“Fortunately, there seems to be no damage!”
“What is it all of a sudden?”
“The magic tower should be in charge of the monsters that flowed back…”
“Then, did the demonic eyes appear here as well?”
“But didn’t you say that it doesn’t have any offensive abilities?”
Magic Eye.
“…!”
At that word, Lee Ye-rim’s ears pricked up. He said he was simply smiling, but contrary to what he had heard, it was a pupil with a demonic eye staring at him intently.
‘Especially the eyes that burned with the green flame…’
Wouldn’t that just pass by?
Maybe it’s information that might be of some help in dealing with the Mystic Eye. Not only the players, but also the senior mages of the Mage Tower who are suffering in the sky. So, to the co-workers of my one and only younger brother, Ho-yeol.
that buck
“hey.”
Determined, Lee Ye-rim stepped towards the players.
It was then.
At the same time, the demonic eyes soared into the air.
in a different form than before.
Fire-!
“What?!”
“Isn’t it different from what you heard?”
“Not eight, but one…?”
My eye.
The pupils, engulfed in green flames, widened their eyes.
Embarrassed for a moment.
The two players reflexively raised their weapons toward the demon’s eye.
However, the vision of the evil eye was only fixed on Lee Ye-rim.
It had nothing to do with the level of the players. The senior wizards who grasped the situation were approaching, but the eyes of the evil eye were still fixed on Lee Ye-rim.
Yes, the evil eye was whispering only to Lee Ye-rim.
-□□□□□. □□.
It is a demonic mental attack that even most players cannot withstand.
It is natural that non-players cannot resist.
Even that opponent was a high-ranking demon.
Even with the devil.
Even with the giants.
An ancient being of a different class.
It means that it is not strange if you come to your senses simply by facing each other.
However, Lee Ye-rim was not.
Because at this moment, it wasn’t only the evil eye that was caught in Lee Ye-rim’s field of vision.
“…I knew you would.”
A magical eye that burns with green flames floating in the sky.
Above the sky farther than that, to the sky.
one and only brother
There was Hoyeol.
Everyone in the area bowed their heads towards Hoyeol.
Are you respected as a boss at work?
I don’t know if I’m holding on tight.
Of course, the chief mages of the Mage Tower.
Even the monsters who ran rampant and turned the city into a mess.
Ho-yeol was bowing his head in front of him.
Yerim Lee muttered.
“Manma resentment… Heavenly Demon Second Coming…”
The corner of her mouth went up.
“Look. Next time the Heavenly Demon. Am I right?”
.
.
.
It was as expected.
The reason why there were eight pupils was that Gamigin, who had fallen into Hell, was persistently alive. I guessed. It’s because I didn’t send him to hell by killing him cleanly like Buer.
Of course, there were also unexpected circumstances.
-I’ll take it. you.
I never thought he would talk like that to Wen-soo Lee Ye-rim.
Of course, unnecessary conversation with the prey was unnecessary.
I just raised my hand.
I looked at the situation from the sky higher than the sky.
chaotic downtown.
rampaging monsters.
overflowing malice.
What a mess.
I understand why the dark dragon said that.
-“To the extent that even demons who cannot understand the subject obey. You must be reborn as a being capable of instilling overwhelming fear.”
Because I finally understood.
I wore gloves.
Mythical item Yunaxus’ Legacy.
Manma Angbok.
That all evil obeys and condescends?
Unfortunately.
[Your voice contains the dragon’s words.]
This is the king of all things, who transcends evil and obeys all things.
‘So, did you understand?’
It’s absolutely not like the Heavenly Demon…!!
