257. Those who believe in old demons (2)
‘Greed.’
What is the reason for the old god to send such a gaze to him?
First was exploration. At first glance, it was a very large area. I couldn’t figure it out as I was running around.
“I will do the search.”
Anessia slams her wand down.
The wand
spreads in all directions in sync with her demonic energy.
Whoops.
Power is amplified and amplified. The energy of the search, which would have been absolutely impossible with Anessa’s power, is dissipated.
The expansive energy of exploration passes through the energy of the old god and examines the surroundings.
Anessa breathed in her demon energy and said.
“It is a staff of detection that the Demon God gave us directly. If you have the ability, you can detect the entire demon realm in an instant.”
Sensing a lot around her, Annessa raised her wand and pointed it in one direction.
“I can feel the presence of five people from a distance of about 30 minutes with my footsteps over there.”
‘Good.’
Because it was a staff given directly by the Demon God, the detection area was quite wide. It was difficult even for Taesan to navigate this distance so quickly.
Taesan stamped his feet.
“Come slowly.”
” yes?”
Wow!
With an explosion of power, Taesan flew in the direction Anessa pointed.
Taesan, who arrived at his destination in seconds, stopped. There were five distorted beings there.
“hi.”
“what!”
They are surprised to see Mount Tai.
“Your enemy.”
Taesan answered quietly and examined them.
The essence was a demon.
However, the roots were twisted so much that they had the form and power that could no longer be called demons.
Which side is closer to Arulia? A human who contracted with the Gods in the world of spirits. It was like that.
“Why are outsiders here?”
“Are there humans?”
Bewildered that they are unexpected. However, he soon calmed down and opened his eyes.
“die!”
“For those who do not believe in the old demons, %OO 門 = 『*=!
they run
Wielding the power of the old god, he tries to kill Taesan. Taesan shakes his hand lightly to shake it off and analyzes it.
‘It’s much weaker than that.’
The human who made a contract with the god in Arulia made a direct contract. On the other hand, they seemed to have absorbed the remnants of the old gods while staying here. They were similar, but their strength was vastly different.
‘I’m not weak though.’
If you look at the strength calmly, it is the level of the 30th floor of the labyrinth. And that was the case with all five of them.
Considering that the so-called Knights of the Demon King were at the level of the 20th floor, it was an overwhelming force.
“I’m curious.”
“die!”
A man rushed along with Gwangso.
“It’s mine!”
“Don’t touch it!”
Others shout and
try to interrupt the man. It was a movement as if he was trying to kill himself somehow.
Taesan moved his hand.
It pierced the man’s chest, crushing and trampling on all the energy of the old god being swung around.
Quadduk.
“Knock it off.”
The man slumped with a gasping sound.
It was a blow. The others who were rushing in hesitated.
[Your spirit level has been activated.
“Hoo.”
Taesan’s eyes lit up.
A dark aura dwelled in Taesan from the man’s body.
There was no significant change, whether it was to the extent of raising the level of proficiency, but it meant that it was at a level where the elevation of spirit would be activated.
“It’s fine.”
Taesan turned her gaze to the rest. There was something strange about their reaction. I was terrified and was walking backwards.
“Ah…
“The soul has been robbed.”
“Run away!”
They freaked out and started running away.
Not knowing if he would run away without looking back, Taesan frowned.
“Are you going to run away?”
[You activated Mephisto’s Black Lightning.]
Kurrung! Lightning
pierces those who flee the fastest .
A weak stiffness overtakes him.
“Caw!”
Just like that, Taesan kicked his feet.
It pierces the chests of the other two who were running away. They died with horror on their faces.
[Your spirit level has been activated.]
Kwajik.
“Kaak!”
As it leaps, the stiffness is released, and it tramples the head of the person who is trying to run away in a hurry
.
“Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!”
“Look at what you do.”
Taesan replied.
After a while, Anesha and Kwaned arrived.
“Taesan. Too fast…
“Whoa. Is that guy a believer in the old demons?”
Kwaned’s eyes shine. Minerva also looks at the subdued being with an interesting face.
“I was completely engulfed by the power. Does it change like that after a long time?
”
“Are you being eaten up?”
“It literally means. In the power of Goshin, the mind and body are all twisted. If that’s the case, you won’t be able to die on your own?”
“Hmm.”
Taesan looked at the man in his grasp.
the man screamed.
“Please don’t kill me!”
“It’s noisy.”
Taesan tightened his grip on his neck. A squeak rang out.
“What are you going to do?”
“First, information first.”
The quest he received is the annihilation of those who believe in the old demons in the abandoned land.
So, before that, I had to know the rough information.
When Taesan asked for information, the man rolled his eyes.
“If I answer, will you save me?”
“I won’t kill you right now. Run away
on your own .”
The man began to stutter.
“We have been here since the old demon was banished.”
“When you were banished?”
Anesthea is shocked. The man looked younger. In terms of human age, he seemed to be in his mid-twenties.
However, the banishment of the old Demon God was so long ago that it was only talked about as a legend.
“We don’t believe in demons now. I believe in the one who originally ruled this land. So when the Great Demon was banished, we moved here.”
Gosin was banished by the Demon God and could no longer exert influence on the Demon Realm.
However, the demon world is a world created by the gods. Even the Demon God could not get rid of all the influence of the old Demon God, and that place was an abandoned land.
“We have lived here accepting the power of the old demons.”
They were slowly contaminated.
My limbs twisted and my mind began to collapse. My body and mind began to be bound to the earth.
“We are made immortal.”
“You have to speak straight. It’s not that I can’t die, it’s that I can’t die.”
Minerva corrected. It was as she said. Twisted and mixed with the power of the old gods, the mortals were eventually bound to this land itself.
Even if his limbs were torn and his head split, he would not die as long as the power of the earth did not disappear.
They have become part of this land.
The moment you try to escape, even your soul will perish.
But the man said it proudly.
“This is immortal. It is a gift that God has bestowed upon us. Existence on the outside is a force to be reckoned with.”
The man suddenly opened his eyes and cried out.
“okay! It is a blessing bestowed upon us by God himself! We must accept His grace and be strong! To the extent that he calls us, to the extent that we are of help to the saint guarding the thorns!”
Mad faith in the old gods.
Minerva clicked her tongue.
“Your mind is broken. Was it distorted by the flow of time? Or was it originally broken?”
Taesan asked.
“For something like that, he begged me not to kill him.”
“Those who died to you are literally dead. It does not end at the level where the power was taken away, but the soul itself has not returned.”
The man who said that had a look of fear on his face.
Taesan could easily guess the reason.
Spirit skill spirit level up. It was a skill that even took away the power of the Gods.
They were bound to this land and could no longer be called life.
However, since that power itself was robbed, it faced death.
“good.”
I’ve got all the basic info. Taesan released the man’s grip.
“Then turn off.”
“…Really?”
“Kill me?”
“Oh no.”
The man ran away in a hurry.
Annette asked.
“What are you going to do?”
“I’m thinking about it.”
The man said that they had been here since the exile of the old demon.
If that’s true, the plan went awry. Taesan looked at Anessa’s staff.
“Can I not use that?”
The wand clearly grasped a wider range than could be grasped with Anessia’s power.
With the power of Mount Tai, it was not unreasonable to grasp the whole of this place.
But Anetsia shook her head.
“yes. Only demons can use this. It’s not a question of whether or not you have Magi, it’s a question of where you were born, so even Taesan-nim will have a hard time.”
“Then what do I use in sync with your power?”
A method of channeling demonic energy and connecting power. It was what Anesha and Kwaned had done for him.
“Uh…
Anessia hesitated.
“If the user were me, it would be possible…”
“good.”
Taesan approached Anessa. Annesha flinched.
“Try to spread detection like you did before.”
“ah. yes.”
Anessia hurriedly grabbed the staff with both hands. After taking a moment to breathe, she lowered her staff.
Ugh.
Waves spread in all directions.
Information about her surroundings began to flow into her, and Taesan put a hand on her shoulder.
W o”
Anessa let out a weak moan.
Maggie, which she could not contain, began to enter.
‘…many.’
Even her father, the demon king of Beguesetta, did not have such a demon.
Taesan sympathized with Anessa’s Magi and opened the passage.
[You activate Lerazier’s area detection.]
Keying.
Waves that spread out hit the waves. The power that spreads in all directions in an instant brings all the information.
It devours the power of the old god that exists on the earth, and the detection is further accelerated.
Anessia’s face turned pale at the incoming information. It was too much for her alone to contain.
Realizing that it was the limit, Taesan removed her hand from her shoulder.
Anessia sighed and sat down.
“princess!”
” are you okay?”
“Yes, yes…
Anessia caught her breath and stood up.
“…there is no end.”
Detect area of Leragee used by opening passage. A cane that feeds on the power of the old god and further amplifies its power.
Even using both at the same time, only a portion of the abandoned land was identified
. All I could find was that the more you expand your power, the more there is no end.
“This…
rather than simply being wide, it felt like I was touching something on the other side.
It was a feeling that no matter how far I went, I could not see the end.
“And… a lot.”
she said with trembling eyes.
“I’ve only noticed a few, but I can’t count them.”
“As expected.”
Taesan frowned.
The demon realm was very wide. And the man he caught said. They say they’ve been living since the old demon ruled this place.
They continued to live without dying. I couldn’t afford that number.
A land with no end.
And those who believe in countless ancient demons.
“What should I do?”
Taesan murmured.
Killing everyone was next to impossible.
Of course, it is possible if you invest an infinite amount of time. But that didn’t make any sense. Even if he couldn’t do it, it would take decades, so it was better to give up and go down the labyrinth.
So find another way.
Taishan looked down at the ground.
The power of the deep and deep Gosin was flowing out.
said the man. They say they are tied to the ground.
In other words, if the power of these gods disappeared, their souls would also be liberated.
“Can I erase this darkness?”
“no.”
Minerva said with a single knife.
“That is impossible. This is his territory created by Gosin. You can’t erase even what you drank right away, so you’re leaving it alone, right?”
This land, which has the power of the old demon god, must be very annoying to the demon god.
However, she
did not intervene in this wide area and over a billion beings.
It meant that even with the power of the transcendent, it could not interfere with the realm of the gods.
However, it was impossible with the power of Taesan.
The drinker must have known that too.
However, she must have given him the quest because she thought Taesan had a way.
[You activated divinity.]
The light materialized over Taishan’s hand.
The light distorts the power of the old god and affects it. But that’s it. It cannot erase or purify power.
‘This is impossible.’
The power that exists in the law cannot erase this darkness.
Then what about the power beyond the law?
[You have activated Black.]
Level up with skill.
