The Player Returns after 10,000 Years Episode 519
The King of the Demon Sea (1)
Walking in a dark space. A space where there is no top, bottom, front, or back.
Only the endless darkness spreads out in the far abyss, stepping forward.
My name is….
Carefully put your name in your mouth.
Raise your hands and cover your head.
Fortunately, I was more conscious than when I first entered this space.
It was a faint string of consciousness that could remember at least one of its own names. This is… enough.
He stammered and raised the corner of his mouth.
That was enough. It was overflowing.
I took a step and made my way through the endless darkness
.
[Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.]
A low cry was heard. I turned my head slowly. It was a black dog that was huge enough to chew and swallow a human.
‘Hell Hound.’
existence that remains in memory. It was the monster he met when he first fell into the Heavenly Hell. … start again from the beginning this is gone.
Laughter flowed out.
Kang Woo moved forward without hesitation towards the Hell Hound, who was baring his sharp teeth towards him.
The first time I fell into hell, I ran unsightly, but now I had no reason to run away from him.
Because the predator was himself, not that alien monster.
[Kuaaaaa!]
The hellhound let out a wild roar and kicked his feet.
Even in the darkness where not a single light exists, its sharp teeth were fiercely gleaming.
suck!
Tak Tak!
Kang Woo stepped on the steps and moved his body.
He was unable to use hundreds of powers in the space made of consciousness in the abyss of the Demon Sea.
There is no divinity that has reached transcendence, nor the fire of gluttony that burns chaos.
what remains of him.
-Quad deuk!
[Kheuuuong!]
While avoiding Hell Hound’s attack, grab onto the hair on the nape of your neck and climb onto your back.
He opened his mouth wide and chewed on the hellhound’s flesh.
[Rerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr]
. But even so, it was only a bite-sized wound.
Considering the size of the 3-meter-long Hell Hound, such a wound was no different from a light scratch.
But -kwak kwak kwade deuk.
[Keying!] He
clung to the hell hound’s body and continued to bite the flesh.
The power of predation was manifested, and the demonic energy flowing through Hell Hound’s body was absorbed into himself.
To be precise, it wasn’t Hell Hound’s demonic energy, it was the demonic energy flowing in the ‘Demon Sea’ itself. ha.
Exhale excitedly. Stepped on the muddy corpse of a hellhound.
I raise my head and look up at the endless darkness.
Now, all he has left is the power of predation. Well, it’s better than when I first fell into the Nine Heavens Hell.
Kang Woo let out a laugh.
After devouring one Hellhound, I felt my consciousness clear up, albeit only slightly.
He lowered his head and looked down at his body.
The demonic energy of the demonic sea, which was only possible to contain by centering on the heart, was now permeating and blending into his entire body. ‘I can absorb it.’
The sea of demons far and wide.
could make it your own.
Well then.
Kang Woo twisted the corner of his mouth and lowered his raised head.
Leaving the hellhound’s corpse behind, I turned around.
[Kurrurer.]
The monsters and demons he had eaten so far were lined up in an endless line in front of him.
The moment the third door was opened, the army of the abyss appeared in the black sun.
Those who had attacked Baal at their command now lined up to tear their consciousness apart.
A meaningless laugh flowed out. The army of the abyss stretched far away.
A familiar face appeared among them.
it was because
Baal. [Ahhh. Oh ooh ooh ooh.]
Baal glared at him, crawling on the floor with a half-melted bone. [I will kill the Lord…]
He spits out cursed words.
Kang Woo smiled brightly.
I’m glad I didn’t, but I was a bit disappointed because I thought I killed him in vain.
jerk jerk.
He stepped forward without hesitation in front of millions of evil forces.
[You, you…]
Baal glared at him with eyes filled with hatred.
[I can’t… get out of this place.]
He opened the third door.
He broke the vessel and freed the abyss. Those who have once stepped into the abyss cannot get out of it no matter what.
[W forever. With me… in this abyss…]
Baal’s mouth was torn up. [It’s being destroyed.]
In the space of consciousness, the concept of ‘death’ doesn’t exist.
The fight does not stop until the individual ego of ‘Oh Kang-woo’ melts into the abyss and disappears.
eternal hell. There will be no other ending than being destroyed in infinite time.
well.
Kang-woo’s expression did not waver even as he faced the desperate situation. I don’t really want to be with a kid like you.
speak in a calm voice
[ ….]
Baal looked at Kang Woo with blank eyes as if he couldn’t understand. [How… can that be?]
Even facing this level of despair. Even in the face of such an end.
why why
[Doesn’t it stop…?]
A voice that feels like it’s frightened somewhere.
Kang Woo shrugged and moved on.
Lift your right foot, lean slightly, and
take another step.
[Kidduck. Knocked out.]
I could see Baal gnashing his teeth nervously.
[No matter how much I struggle, it’s useless.]
I realized it only after being eaten by the abyss.
How absurd it was to have the evil spirit, to have the primordial darkness.
[You… will fail.]
It’s a fight that never ends. It is a war that will never end.
no
Kang Woo shook his head. It’s not a fight. What he’s trying to do, what
he has to do
***
is not a fierce, epic battle against millions of demons.
You catch and eat your prey, but you don’t use the expression fight, right?
Here’s an expression that suits this situation. It is neither a fight nor a war. It’s supper time. Kang Woo opened his arms wide and rushed towards the army of the abyss.
– Woo-woo-woo-woo.
The meat was mashed by sharp teeth,
the muscles were cut off, and the bones were
shattered.
How long have you been here?
It chews and swallows the endless darkness one by one and pushes it into the stomach.
How long has it been? I don’t remember.
When the number of years counted in my head exceeded fifteen years, I gave up counting any more.
It was a long time ago that I gave up counting time.
Maybe a hundred or a thousand years have passed now.
‘no.’
perhaps.
ten thousand years.
It may have taken longer than the time it took for him to fall into the Nine Heavens and become the Demon King.
‘It’s a space of consciousness… should I say it’s fortunate.’
If the concept of time were not elsewhere, even if he escaped from this place, the earth he knew would not remain.
– Crunchy.
Time continued to pass. His teeth trembled as he chewed and swallowed flesh as he stepped forward.
Even after such a long time feels like an eternity.
……
The endless darkness that unfolded before my eyes remained the same.
haha.
A rough breath came out. His will, which seemed to never waver, had now reached its limit.
Will it ever end?
Was there such a thing as an end in the first place? oh
no matter how much you catch
Eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat.
the darkness never ends The Magi’s Sea does not disappear. ‘It’s crazy.’
It’s like trying to make it disappear by drinking all the seawater.
Baal was right.
No matter how much I struggled, it was of no use.
I can’t get out of this endless darkness.
….
Beetle.
My body staggered. Knees down.
[Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!]
The forces of the abyss rushed towards him.
….
I had neither the strength nor the will to devour them any more.
‘Let’s give up.’
Did you last long enough for this?
a thousand years? No, you’ve been here for over 10,000 years.
‘No more… impossible.’
How arrogant it was to say that he would make this distant darkness his own by devouring the endless sea.
I… I
relaxed my body while watching the forces of evil rushing towards me.
-Quad deuk!
I could feel the sharp teeth tearing through my body.
‘Yes, like this.
Giving up
–
hard to do. He gnashed his teeth fiercely. -Hang in there. Things in the distant past that I can’t even remember now.
The words he spat out of his mouth before entering the abyss.
– Because I will win and come back.
Those words come to mind.
engraved like a stigma
fuck.
He spat out a harsh curse.
Quadduk!
He seized the horns of the devil that was chewing on his body and pulled them out.
It opened its mouth wide and bit the devil’s body. ‘yet.’
can move
‘yet.’
can stand up ‘yet.’
can move on I am…
the king of all demons, the predator of all predators, and
the demon king.
He is the king of the Demon Sea.
-Kudduddeuk!! The abyss stirred.
[Ah ah.]
[Save me, save me.]
There’s a difference.
The forces of the abyss that rushed towards him began to feel ‘fear’.
Or maybe ‘Mahae’ itself feels fear of him. So… let’s start over.
He stood up and smiled brightly.
He slowly moved towards the army of the abyss, exposing his sharp teeth.
And so,
the time of eternity passed again.
-Rest.
On the desolate land where not even a blade of grass was left,
the black sun was blazing and burning.
……
A woman with black hair and a gentle expression was staring at the black sun burning in the sky.
3 years ago.
After the war between the forces of Baal, Seoul turned into a desolate land with not a single blade of grass left.
After the war, Seoul citizens who came back from the Erno continent moved to other cities such as Busan, Gwangju, Ulsan, or settled overseas with the full support of the Guardians.
No,
many people other than Seoulites who suddenly lost their homes moved to the south.
It’s not just because Busan became the new capital of Korea.
…Kang Woo.
The black-haired woman spoke the name in a faint voice.
The black sun blazing over Seoul.
Many people moved south to escape the ominous sun, but she was living near this desolate land.
waiting for someone to come back.
here today too jerk jerk.
A red-haired woman with a knife approached her as she sat there looking up at the black sun. Oh you’re here to play huh. I was in Busan for a few days because I had some guild work this time.
Cha Yeon-ju held out the envelope in her hand.
I bought you some beer.
…are you okay.
what’s ok You haven’t eaten properly for three years
and come here every day.
At her words, Han Seol-ah smiled bitterly.
You don’t have to eat anything anymore.
Her body was now closer to that of an angel than a human.
There was no reason to eat properly.
You can still taste it. That’s it… but then drink it. Because I bought chicken.
Cha Yeon-joo said that and sat down beside Han Seol-ah.
Her red hair, now past her shoulders and down to her waist, draped. … how is it?
she asked, looking up at the black sun.
There was no need to ask who the question was directed at.
Han Seol-ah shook her head with a heavy expression.
3 years ago.
There had been no change in the black sun burning over Seoul since the rain had been sucked into it.
ha. It’s getting to the limit now to stop Kim Si-hoon’s bastard from jumping into it…
Cha Yeon-joo let out a deep sigh and shook her head.
It was then.
-Roaring!
…uh?
Cha Yeon-ju’s eyes widened.
That… doesn’t it look a bit smaller now?
He pointed his finger at the black sun.
Small… Lost?
Seolah Han hurriedly turned her head and looked up at the black sun.
As Cha Yeon-joo said, the size of the black sun had shrunk.
no.
uh…? uh uh!!
Even at this moment, it was getting smaller at a tremendous speed.
what what!! what’s up!!
Cha Yeon-joo looked around with a puzzled expression.
…ah.
Looking up at the black sun, Han Seol-ah trembled slightly.
I saw someone coming out of the shrinking black sun.
No, getting out was not an appropriate expression.
The black sun was being absorbed by someone.
Mr. Kang Woo…
Transparent tears formed around her eyes.
Over and over again she looked up at the person in the center of the black sun with her hands together.
-Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The black sun was completely absorbed and disappeared.
In it, the existence she longed for and yearned for so much stepped out.
Back… You’re back. Tears flowed down Han Seol-ah’s cheeks.
huh. I’m back.
Kang Woo looked at Han Seol Ah and nodded.
and.
Let’s get married. I
think three children would be good
.
He stretched out his hand toward Han Seol-ah and smiled brightly. …yes.
Han Seol-ah shed tears and hugged Kang-woo.
Cha Yeon-joo, who was watching that scene
, is fucking sick.
Karak bounce.
He raised his middle finger at the two of them.
