Leveling Up with Skills Chapter 413

_ Volume 17 Episode 13

413. 82nd floor Lemegeton (2)

[Why did you crawl in here?]

The demon asked with a confused face. Its attitude is different from that of other demons. If you looked at them below yourself, you were showing weak boundaries to the existence in front of you.

[Listening to the story, it seems quite difficult.]

Baal said slowly.

He silently gazed at Mount Tai.

[Didn’t you keep talking? Since we talked to the extent that scabs sat on our ears, there is no choice but to be interested in this side as well.] A

faint smile caught on Baal’s face.

[So I decided to meet you once.]

[You.]

The demon’s face is distorted.

In an instant, the air settles.

Intangible oppression overwhelms Baal. Even immortals

could not be free from that oppression.

[What are you thinking?]

[The guys over here are plotting something boring. I want to destroy it, but I can’t directly intervene because my name is the Great Devil. That’s why a suitable person is needed.]

Baal raised his finger and pointed at the great mountain.

[On behalf of the other demons, I, the demon Baal, will test that being. That will replace the ordeal of this floor.]

[Don’t worry too much. Lucifer. child made up What you’ve been thinking about until now was to find a suitable trial. If it were me, I wouldn’t give you an ordeal to worry about. As long as I have a contract with you, I cannot lie.]

[You can hide the truth. How many times have I been stabbed in the back by you?]

[What? Wasn’t it a light joke? I declare it to be true this time.]

Baal said lightly. It was like an old man comforting a child.

[Hmph.]

The demon snorted.

[Do whatever you feel like. You’re more reliable than other demons.]

[Thank you for that.]

Baal smiled like an old man and went back into the passage.

[I’ll be waiting for you, so come in when you’re ready.]

After that, Baal’s presence disappeared. The devil clicked his tongue.

[Something bothers me.]

“Who are you?”

That being was strong.

Taesan’s level is too low to determine the exact power, so it is unknown, but it seems that there is no big difference from the demon god just by vaguely feeling it.

Above all, the type of power was heterogeneous.

That was a being closer to a god than a transcendent.

The demon answered Taesan’s question.

[The Great Devil. The owner of all demons.]

“Isn’t the owner a demon?”

[Of course, I made a contract with the demons and made them lend the power of black magic to the demons. But devils are quite arbitrary. They are the ones who won’t listen even if I try to suppress and dominate them with my power. The one who helped with that was the great devil Baal.]

The demon continued.

[I don’t know what kind of whim it was, but that thing betrayed the old Demon God and sided with me. In the process, I made the other demons cooperate as well.]

“…You betrayed the old demon?”

old drank. An existence that is now called Goshin.

In order to defeat the old Demon God, the beings of the Demon Realm made the Demon God their own god. That was the rough flow Taesan knew.

However, it seemed that demons were also involved in the process.

[I don’t know why he betrayed me. Even if I ask, he won’t answer. Anyway, Baal cooperated with me to manage the demons and made me make a contract with the demons.] The

Demon God frowned.

[I received a lot of help when I just became a god in the demon realm, but I also played a lot of bad jokes.]

“I see.”

Baal’s attitude toward the demon god was somehow mischievous, but that must have been the reason.

[He’s a nuisance, but he’s better than the other demons. If that bastard gave the trial, it wouldn’t be a clumsy one.]

The demon allowed Baal to intervene.

Now it’s time to enter the aisle. Taesan stood in front of the aisle and asked the demon.

“It looks very similar to Gosin.”

So did the powers of demons, but especially Baal. It was difficult to distinguish easily from today’s Mount Tai.

“What is the difference between you and them?”

[That’s something you have to check for yourself. go and get it And get what you want.]

The demon said with a laugh.

Taesan nodded and entered the aisle.

Feeling the eyes of countless demons, Taishan arrived in a vast space.

The red sky stretched out there.

Beneath it was a devastated ruin. Several figures were seen there.

‘ what?’

It was different from Taesan’s expectations. Five beings were in the middle of the ruins.

And I didn’t feel any demonic power from them.

They were ordinary human demons.

* * *

[Kekekek! here again! Too many!]

A sharp, deafening sound rang out. Taesan looked away. There was a creature with the wings of a small bat and huge ugly looking eyes.

[Stupid human! You must have Remegeton too, right?]

Taesan nodded. This guy

was different from the people out there.

“Are you the devil?”

[okay! I am a demon that is feared by mortal beings and possesses great power!]

The demon said proudly.

[Go over there and wait! When everyone gathers, we will test the qualifications!]

“What qualifications are you testing?”

Taesan hasn’t heard anything yet. The demon spread its wings wildly, as if annoyed.

[shut up! Bugs! Don’t question me

! You just have to follow my orders!]

“I don’t like that.”

[You you you.]

The devil rolls his eyes.

[I need to get a little bit angry!]

As soon as he finishes his words, power strikes Taesan.

thick and deep darkness. Magi engulfs Taesan’s entire body and oppresses him.

[I won’t kill you! I’m just fiddling with my mind!]

Darkness invades Taesan’s head

. It shakes and devours the brain itself.

It wasn’t bad.

As the devil himself said, it was a force that quite a few mortals could not properly resist.

But that was all.

Taesan was buried in darkness. The devil burst into laughter.

[Kakac! It’s a military punishment for being arrogant!]

“It’s noisy.”

[Eek!]

Taesan shook his head. Dispersed like

darkness burst.

I grabbed the astonished demon by the neck.

“I want you to answer my question.”

Taesan speaks softly, releasing a part of his sealed power. He concentrated his strength to the extent that it could not be felt by those far away.

The demon screams and cries desperately.

[Say anything! I will answer everything!]

“Okay. You’re a demon too, right?”

[yes! yes Even though I don’t have a name or domain, I’m a devil!]

“It’s too weak.”

Of course, objectively speaking, it was a considerable level of power.

Even those who crossed the boundary had power that could not easily be overcome.

But that was all. It was not a power beyond mortality.

mortal and immortal. Considering that the gap could never be narrowed, he was not a threat to Taesan now.

[No, of course there are strong people.

Those who have names and domains are incomparably stronger than me.]

“There are many types of demons.”

The Demon God said that only 72 demons had domains. Except for them, most of the demons seemed to be at this level.

After tidying up, Taesan asked.

“good. that you are too You mean those over there also have Remegeton, right?”

[yes! All the idiots over there

are owners of Lemegeton, just like you!]

Having a Lemegeton isn’t a big deal.

Remegeton is for a direct contract with the devil. Six such people gathered here.

“What exactly are you doing here?”

[This is the place where you go through the ordeal to rise to the position of the devil!]

“What?”

Taesan frowned.

“Climb to the devil’s seat? Is that possible?”

A demon is a being close to an old god. I had to go beyond at least one mortal to bear that.

But those over there, no matter how hard they looked, couldn’t rise above mortals.

To be precise, they were those who were right below the boundary line. Of course, that alone is strong enough, but it never reached the devil’s power.

[I don’t know the details either. The demons of that realm

made that decision and entrusted me with the role of guide, so I just follow it.]

The nameless demon spoke cautiously. It seemed that he did not know any more information.

“That’s it.”

[Thank you!]

The devil bowed his head to Taesan and flew away.

Taesan left him behind and approached the other five.

As Taishan approached, a man with long hair and a gloomy face approached quietly. His face

was pure white, without a trace of blood, and his hair, probably unwashed, was tangled like a bird’s nest.

The man looked at Taesan without saying anything. And he held out his hand.

“….handshake.”

After looking at the hand for a moment, Taesan held it without hesitation.

The man was taken aback for a moment, but waved his hand slowly.

Waves of power permeated Taesan amidst the shaking.

It was a wave that tried to penetrate the whole body and grasp the power.

However, the power of detection was not able to enter the inside of Taishan because it was blocked by Taishan itself.

“..ah?”

The man’s face hardened instantly. The man reflexively withdrew his hand.

“…you.”

“You idiot.”

The old man behind him opened his mouth.

“I’ll admit I hid my power perfectly, but

I allowed contact with others too easily. Such a person cannot survive here.”

Taesan looked at them.

The gloomy man and the old man were human beings. The other three looked like demons.

And they didn’t hide their strength.

It was scattering strong demonic energy as if it were boasting.

“So you guys are showing off your strength.”

“Why do you need to hide it? This power is what proves me. There is no need to hide it, and there is no meaning.”

The old man said confidently.

“I am the great devil. A person who deals with black magic by contracting with Dekarabia. It’s Ethan.”

Decarabia. Even Tae-san knew the devil’s name.

Beginner black magic. Distorted Vegetation of Decarabia. He was the master of black magic that had been usefully used until now.

‘Is that a concept?’

Contract with a specific demon to deal with black magic. That must have been the dark mages gathered here. Ethan asked bluntly.

“Who is the devil you contracted with? I don’t think a coward hiding his power would say that, but I’m asking out of etiquette.”

“Is it a contract?”

Taesan thought.

To put it bluntly, it was a demon, but a demon was not a demon. Taesan shook his head.

“No.”

“what?”

Ethan’s face contorted.

The moment he was about to say something, the space split.

[Everyone has gathered.]

The great devil, Baal, has appeared. He spoke leisurely to the warlocks who looked at him stupidly.

[I am the Great Devil. It is Baal. Nice to meet you.]

“Bah Baal!”

The black magicians were frightened and lowered their heads.

The name of the Prime Evil was known to all warlocks. The master of pure evil that has existed since the beginning of the world. Absolute ruler over all demons.

I didn’t expect that existence would descend directly. Everyone was afraid and shuddered. He couldn’t even raise his head as if he was afraid to even look at him.

Only Taesan was looking straight at Baal.

Baal said softly.

[To be honest, I don’t like you guys.]

The warlocks swallow.

The fear of death grips them. [But

you can’t stop the demons’ desires by becoming the Great Devil .

If it’s something you and they all agree on, I won’t interfere.]

After saying that, Baal smiled for a while, looked at the mountain, and then started talking again.

[Six beings who possess Remegeton. this is my ordeal If you pass this ordeal, you will be able to rise to the position of the devil and occupy the realm.]

The eyes of the black magicians who bowed their heads at those words shone.

A strong desire was seen in them.

[This is my ordeal. A dead demon now. Belial. Survive in the abandoned realm and claim the throne of Belial.]

[Start a sub-quest.]

[The great devil Baal gives the owner of Remegeton an ordeal. devil. Belial died and disappeared, but the realm he had remains twisted. Break through that place and occupy the throne in Belial’s castle.] [Reward

: Devil’s seat and that realm.]
