300. Special layer (4)
Deed…!
In the blink of an eye, the air itself was crushed by the attack, and the demons were shocked.
It was worth it.
Currently, I have activated the Proof of Divinity and the skill of King Manmaji at the same time.
Even if it didn’t reveal any energy like divinity or magic, there was no way that demons without divinity could withstand it.
‘There’s no way I can resist the power of King Manmaji since I’m surprised by a skill like Proof of Divinity.’
At most, wasn’t he greatly astonished by a skill like Proof of Divinity?
So, it was good enough to see what would happen if the skill of King Manmaji was mixed.
At this point, there is no need to see what will happen after that.
Perhaps they will now be terrified and cooperative with me.
Actually….
Kku-gu-gu-gu-!
“Kek…!”
“Turn it off…! Who are you! Who the hell is it that would do something like this!!”
“this is…! Isn’t it the demon king…! How could the Demon King’s energy come from that human!?”
Before I knew it, each of the demons lowered their bodies halfway and spat so much astonishment.
At best, it was a level of slight expansion by bypassing the divine status with skills…
Nevertheless, none of them sweated profusely as if they could not stand properly.
At all, beyond encountering the demon king, he was terrified like a prey in front of a predator.
―You don’t have to.
And as he was looking at it with interest, Damcheonwu said as if he was blushing.
– Proof of divinity. I don’t know where I got that skill from. That’s the power to let you know, albeit shallowly, about your level of divinity.
“…”
―However, since the King of Manmaji was also mixed with it, he had no choice but to go beyond being terrified at once and to be driven to the brink of fainting halfway.
“Even so, the reaction is more serious than I thought…”
Originally, I didn’t intend to put pressure on the brink of fainting like this.
I was just trying to scare you and have a constructive talk.
However, it was shocking to see that he was now on the verge of dying beyond the expected situation.
Still, I adjusted my strength so that others wouldn’t notice it in my own way, but unlike I thought, even this would be a very effective expression of dignity.
‘Even if it’s a power that’s close to the lowest among the higher deities, is it this much?’
Only then did I stop the activation of the skill ‘Proof of Divinity’ and recover some of the pressure.
There’s nothing to be gained by driving the people in front of me to the point of fainting anyway.
And at the same time, the demons who couldn’t even breathe properly caught their breath and sent fear-tinged eyes.
But that was only for a moment.
“Bub-bu-bu-bu-bu…”
“… Huh?”
“A bug…”
“?”
It’s nothing else…
“At most, the ruler of the outside world… does something like this in the Demon Realm…!?”
A demon with a lizard-like face delivered words full of rage.
“If you intervened in violation of the laws of the demon realm, you would have been prepared to pay the price, right?”
Even that in an extremely cold and arrogant tone.
‘…what is this again?’
And I couldn’t help but blink my eyes and tilt my head.
It was worth it.
Even though he had used a socializing method that was friendly to demons, he hadn’t expected that he would become so enraged as soon as he stopped activating the skill.
It was as if he had forgotten, like a goldfish, that he almost died a moment ago.
But that didn’t make me too angry.
“Even if the demon king came from the outside world, he should know about the law…!”
It’s just…
“Do you know how far the crime of daring to touch the 47th Lord’s henchman in the middle of the monarch’s battle is in full swing?”
I just thought that the novelty was like an over-the-top suicide method.
“Hmm….”
“I will formally report this to the Lords’ Council as punishment…!”
“It’s fun.”
“what?”
“Seeing that they talk about things like the monarch’s meeting and being subject to punishment, it seems that the Pandemonium has its own order.”
Still, I seemed to know roughly about the demon realm.
“Perhaps there are several lords, and the order between lords is determined by a certain type of battle.”
Now I know the true meaning of the clearing condition of the ordeal, ‘obtaining the position of the supreme monarch of the underworld’.
-…Right. Is it to obtain the top position in the Demon Realm, where numerous monarchs are competing for rank? That’s the worst.
And Dam Chun-wu also said that he had realized something about this.
―Perhaps you will have to listen to the details to know more, but seeing that the monarch’s position surpasses that of the demon lord, it doesn’t seem very smooth.
It was a sympathy.
‘I don’t know how strong the monarch is, but at least I know he’s stronger than the demon king.’
The lizard-like demon in front of him spoke as if looking down on the demon king, so there was no doubt about it.
At the very least, the demon lord’s skills must be at a level that exceeds that of the demon lord.
Considering that most of the demon lords I’ve seen so far have reached the level of a 4th-class apostle, there was a strong possibility that there would be some close to godhood among them.
Even assuming the worst, there could be people with higher powers than that.
‘As much as the 4 layers were combined, the difficulty level itself has definitely risen.’
At this point, it is inevitable that the level of difficulty of this special class ordeal will be felt.
That would be the case….
Starting from the clear conditions of the ordeal, trivial information, and the process of identifying the enemy, wasn’t it entrusted to me one by one?
Of all the ordeals he had seen while climbing the tower, it would be one of the most difficult.
‘Still, does that mean I need to roll my head to some extent?’
But the thoughts couldn’t go any further.
“What the hell was this earthworm-like guy talking about!”
Suddenly, the demon in front of me shouted with eyes full of murderous intent.
“Get down on your knees right here and apologize to this body…!!”
It was as if he had to crush me in this spot to be free from his intuition.
“If you do that, I can take your crimes on my own terms…”
But now I didn’t have to listen to him anymore.
“I’m sick of hearing you talk nonsense like that.”
and.
“Enough now, just shut up.”
Soon after, he dismissed his words as if he was annoyed.
Quazik-!
As it was, I walked over to the demon in front of me and slammed his head.
Divinity and magical power.
Even though it was a simple blow without skills, an attack with all stats exceeding four digits could never be taken lightly.
In an instant, the demon’s upper body, which looked like a lizard, exploded without a shape.
Fuuuong-!!
It’s also very miserable.
Soon, bright red blood was scattered and the body of an unknown demon fell.
Then, the two demons behind them also trembled.
Could it be that the enemies who had fought so fiercely so far didn’t know that they would die in vain?
“What is this…”
“The 47th Lord’s henchman dies so easily…?”
A female demon with a cat-like appearance and a male demon with horns said in fright.
And when I saw that, I smiled proudly.
It seems like I’ve finally taught the demons the right way to socialize.
“Isn’t anyone dissatisfied anymore?”
I smiled at him and spoke again.
“Then let’s talk honestly with each other now.”
And that too with an infinitely bright smile.
***
Still, is it because he showed the social skills of a skilled teaching assistant once?
“…ask anything! I will tell you all I can say!”
Before I knew it, the demons in front of me quietly knelt down and said that.
It doesn’t really matter whether you kneel or not anyway…
I decided to think of it as a cultural difference thinking that it might be a manner unique to the Demon World.
Looking down at them, a female demon with a cat’s tail looked at them and whispered.
“…There may be stories that we don’t even know about, but if it’s not that, we’ll try to answer them all.”
It’s as if he’d do anything to save his life.
“If so.”
In response, I immediately looked down at the two demons leisurely and asked questions.
Demon world statute lord, decisive battle, external demon king, etc…
Now, instead of the lizard-faced demons who faced death, I dug up various information.
And after that, I understood the situation to some extent.
I learned common sense about various demon worlds, but there is something really important.
‘The battle between the monarchs.’
He had roughly grasped the conditions for clearing the ordeal.
“In a nutshell, the Lord’s Showdown means that it is an event that determines the supreme monarch, right?”
supreme monarch.
It is the monarch’s decision to fight among the monarchs to obtain the position set as the clearing condition of the ordeal.
Which of the 72 lords of the demon realm will stand at the highest position?
With that, the Pandemonium is currently in an uproar, and it seems that those who fought each other for being the henchmen of a certain monarch were part of the monarch’s decisive battle.
“And it means that an outsider like the Demon King cannot participate in the monarch’s decisive battle.”
The cat-tailed female demon nodded with a frightened face.
“Yes….”
“Are you saying that demon lords active in different worlds don’t even have the authority to do anything here?”
“That’s right. The only ones who can intervene in internal affairs are demons from the Demon Realm. Those who serve any particular god cannot participate in the Lord’s Battle.”
“That is such a nuisance.”
I had to click my tongue and roll my eyes at him.
‘It seems that the position of the Demon King in the Demon World is lower than I thought.’
Even those from outside could not interfere in the battle of the monarch at all.
That’s why the lizard-faced demons who became cold corpses must have been so elated.
While lamenting that there were fewer places to use the demon king’s power, the female demon with a cat’s tail continued.
“But that doesn’t mean that those people can’t participate in the Lord’s Showdown…”
“Then, is there a way to participate?”
“…If you kill a certain monarch and declare that you will take that position, you can become the ruler of the Demon Realm.”
“Hoo.”
Don’t you feel a bit like a demon now?
―…Just kill any lord and take his place, and that’s it.
And Dam Chun-wu, who had heard the great rules of the demon world, spoke as if he were uncivilized.
-What are these things really like?
…But if I had to put it into perspective, wouldn’t there be a difference between Makai and Moorim?
In fact, when a Murim man, no different from a demon, said such a thing, I felt a slight sense of alienation.
Should I say that it is like cursing the same industry for the subject of people in the same industry doing the same thing?
However, it was only for a while to put on a look of disbelief at such a sense of estrangement.
“Looks like you’ve figured out everything you need to know.”
Realizing that the search for information had ended before I knew it, I nodded and said that.
‘Now I know what to do.’
It was worth it.
Once you figured out how to achieve the clearing conditions of the ordeal, there was no need to waste any more time.
Then, a female demon with a cat’s tail stiffened her tail and cautiously asked a question.
“Then we…?”
There’s no need to say that it’s annoying every phrase.
“There’s nothing to find out now, so go wherever you want.”
There was nothing more to gain from them anyway.
So it would be better to let go now.
However, as soon as they showed their respect, the two demons left as if they were running away.
And as I stared at it, the handle of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled.
Ugh.
―Did you really mean to send them away like this?
It’s nothing else…
―…I don’t know what level the monarchs are, but nothing good would happen if they were left as they were.
Damcheonwu expressed his displeasure at letting them go without seeing more blood.
It was worth it.
Perhaps they will go to the monarch and spit out information about me right away.
I was certain that I would tell you everything I had shown you so far, starting with the fact that there was a demon king from outside.
―Perhaps there are those among the monarchs who can be compared to higher deities.
“Is that right?”
―…Do you mean that even after knowing that, you would still spread information about you?
“no. It can’t be. I am just waiting.”
―Wait…?
“Perhaps they will go to the monarch like this.”
―No way…
“Then, wouldn’t the need to hire a guide go away?”
And at the same time, I raised a bright flame at the very tip of my index finger.
「The skill ‘Tracking Light’ is activated.」
「Since the tracking target is currently set to 2, you can find out the location of the tracking target.
」 one.
-her! He’s really crazy!
“With this, we now know where the monarchs are.”
I continued talking with a smile at Dam Chun-wu, who admired him as if he was enjoying it in an instant.
“And from now on, it will not be only the position of monarch.”
―…?
“In the process of becoming a high-level deity, I gained quite an interesting power.”
―What is that…
It’s nothing else…
「The exclusive effect ‘Magic Circuit’ is activated.」
「You can use the user’s magic temporarily as magic energy.
」
“Aren’t you curious?”
magic.
Isn’t it possible to use the energy that is only allowed to demons?
It was an ability that could be regarded as a second magic power to the extent that even the divine beings used some of it mixed with the divine.
That’s why I showed my desire for a new power with my eyes and smiled.
“I wonder if I can steal the skills used by the lords of the underworld with my talents.”
