Episode 434
Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Purple magic power filled my eyes.
and.
Tiring.
[Skill Ataraxia (???) has been unlocked.]
The floating message informed me that I had escaped from the world of images.
thud!!
Unlike when he was devoured in the previous image world, Orgal knelt down on both knees.
A multi-image world.
There, a backflow of magical energy began due to the power that had been inflicted countless times, and as a side effect of ignoring the laws of the Abyss, the power of existence was severely diminished.
[Puh-huh….]
Orgal laughed at my state, which could be said to be in despair.
Is that all?
The Archduke is kneeling before a human being?
If another Grand Duke were in this situation, he wouldn’t have held back his laughter.
[But I have to admit it.]
Orgal muttered in a voice that sounded like scraping metal.
Taehyun’s ‘Ataraxia’, who accepted the power of the divine beast.
The reason he maintains his intact mind and body even after being completely caught up in the enormous magical power is because he has the status of an absolute being.
The fact that we lost did not change.
The laws of the Abyss have been stripped away.
Nevertheless, the reason Kim Tae-hyun was able to overpower him was simply because he was stronger.
It was nothing more and nothing less.
[It’s Jim’s defeat.]
Orgal calmly admitted his defeat.
Taehyun took a breath and nodded.
“Whew… I wish it had been like this a long time ago.”
Each time Orgal destroyed an image world, a considerable amount of mental power was consumed.
I had no idea how much time I spent there.
If it weren’t for his mental power that had reached a state of assimilation with the divine beast.
‘I guess I was the one kneeling when the fifth world collapsed.’
It’s a time when I’m struggling to endure a headache that hasn’t gone away yet.
Hwaaaah.
“….”
[….]
The dark blue magic power that resided in Taehyun and Orgal’s bodies bloomed strongly.
As Orgal admits his defeat, the contract of desire is about to proceed.
Tiring.
[A pact of summoning has been made with ‘Demon King Orgal’.]
[The magical magic power of the summoning skill Orgal(???) has changed.] [
Skill ‘Demon Beast Transformation(???)’ has been changed to skill ‘Anti-Demon Beast Enchantment’ (???)’.]
The brown magic power in Taehyun’s body became even stronger.
[Puh-huh… It must be a pity… I made a contract… but the baggage was destroyed.]
Orgal’s power of existence was weakening by the minute.
The Law of the Abyss.
He is now paying the price for forcibly removing the Underworld King’s spell.
Even though the game he had prepared for a crushing defeat failed, Orgal showed no regrets on his face.
[If Jim is downgraded to the highest species, infighting will break out again among the Demon Beasts.]
Although he could not take over the entire Demon Beasts’ forces, he should be satisfied with just subduing himself.
Orgal gave Taehyun a compliment that wasn’t a compliment.
“In the end, wouldn’t it be enough to restore your power of existence?”
[That guy… did he know what that meant?]
Orgal frowned at his casual attitude.
Restoring the existence of large-scale supply is not an easy task.
At the very least, he can either destroy Typhon, who fought an equal battle with him and regained his power, or make Taehyeon, the person who brought him down, into submission.
They say that if you don’t have that level of karma, you can’t recover.
“There isn’t necessarily one way. “I will make you an archduke again.”
No, I will make you into a being who transcends even the rank of archduke.
Taehyun made a new suggestion.
Puh heh heh.
How long has it been since he was demoted from the position of archduke he held for so long?
The person who brought him down is saying that he will restore him and not only that, he will make him surpass his previous strength.
Normally, this was a suggestion that I would have dismissed as nonsense, but I knew it now.
Kim Tae-hyun is not lying.
I have no reason to refuse this excellent offer.
[What was the price?]
I expected a humiliating offer.
But.
“To end the turf war with me and carry out the race war. Not betraying me. “This is enough.”
[….]
“Do you think I’m asking for too much?”
[It’s the opposite, Kim Tae-hyun. You deserve more than that from Jim.]
The red eyes of Orgal, who had been downgraded to the highest level in a short while, pierced through Taehyeon.
“The Archdukes are too arbitrary to expect too much.”
As Taehyun said that, he once again unleashed his dark blue magic power.
Just like the first one we made before the battle started.
It didn’t take long to conclude the contract.
[I will accept it.]
Wow.
Orgal grabbed Taehyun’s outstretched hand.
It was damaged here and there, creating something that could no longer be called normal.
“Well thought out.”
Taehyun opened the status window and checked the skills he had left behind.
A harbinger of evolution (???) – Restores lost power of existence. Magic power: 500
.
[The omen of skill evolution (???) has been activated. Specifies the target.]
Quaaaaa.
It is different from the power of ‘desire’ obtained from Gorper.
Dark blue magic power bloomed, symbolizing Gilfer’s newly acquired power of ‘evolution’.
“Welcome to the group.”
Gilfer’s power ravaged Orgal’s collapsed body.
He was an ancient great devil, but he voluntarily gave up his powers to protect his memories from the laws of the Abyss.
Afterwards, he achieved the status of an archduke on his own and gained new powers.
The power of the Great Devil, who had overcome the catastrophe and achieved a new evolution, quickly restored Orgal’s body.
[…!!]
The power to restore existence.
Orgal, too, seemed to be wide-eyed at the sight of his own being filling up again, as if he hadn’t expected it.
It took a considerable amount of time to restore the presence that had fallen to the end of the upper species to the beginning of the Great Duke.
Even the magic power of Apocalypse was about to reach its limits.
The dark blue magic power that had been ravaging Orgal’s body had done its job and completely disappeared.
Tiring.
[‘Great power’ swears obedience.]
[The proficiency of the skill ‘Great Demon Speech (???)’ has increased.] [
The proficiency of the summoning skill ‘Orgal (???)’ has increased.]
[ The skill ‘Heart of the Beast Tribe (???)’ has been registered.]
‘Hoo.’
Taehyun expressed satisfaction with the unexpected message.
Capturing is harder than subduing.
Although I had no strength in my entire body after rolling around with Orgal, it was a satisfying result.
The barely maintained apocalypse was lifted.
and.
Tiring.
[The progress rate of the quest ‘Territory War’ has increased.]
[Progress rate: 70%]
Noname’s voice announced that the end of the turf war was near.
* * *
The Demon Beast tribe formed an alliance with Kim Tae-hyun.
It didn’t take long for such rumors to spread throughout the underworld.
[This is ridiculous news. Who would have guessed that Orgal was defeated by Kim Tae-hyun?]
Mamon, the ancient great devil.
The man who was leading the demon tribe’s turf war on behalf of Beelzebub said so.
He knows Orgal’s personality well.
This guy is not a being that fears defeat, but rather a being that chooses to fight even if he is defeated.
If I had signed a contract with a guy like that, it would have been one of two things.
Either they defeated him several times and forced him to sign a contract, or he made a contract in exchange for Kim Tae-hyun giving up everything.
Those who knew the majesty of the Demon Beast King would have thought of the latter without hesitation.
Mammon couldn’t deny that his mind was leaning toward the former.
[Rosaria Igmun Jormungand Hazard Orgal.]
He quietly recited the names of the princes given to Kim Tae-hyeon.
That alone could be said to be a majority of the summer’s power.
[Typhon Gilfer Elven.]
Even beings that were nearly destroyed were restored and made into companions.
This is while preventing the resurrection of Diablo, which was prepared by the great evils of ancient times.
[This is the worst.]
Outside the realm, the forces of Igmun and Lucifer were rampaging, and the demons, who boasted of enormous power, were showing inferiority due to the disappearance of Mephisto.
[Lucifer. Should I meet that guy?]
This is when Mamon’s expression is distorted by a plan he doesn’t like.
The gate, which had been inactive for a long time, hummed.
Because I don’t know that the gate is connected to Jormungand.
Because we do not know that Jormungandr’s tongue is like a snake.
[….]
Mamon quietly looked at the gate.
The thought didn’t last long.
Mammon infused his magic into the gate and activated it.
A blue and red Odd Eye appeared beyond the gate.
[It’s been a long time, Mamon.]
Jormungand chuckled and greeted.
[Mahae King. What business did the guy who disappeared after being attacked by Kim Tae-hyun have?]
Mammon ridiculed Jormungand’s actions.
It was a criticism of the fact that despite signing a contract with Kim Tae-hyun, no position has been taken yet.
[Don’t you dare provoke me. No matter how ancient you are, there is ultimately an unbridgeable gap between us.]
Be polite.
Jormungand casually said something that did not suit me.
[If you’re going to talk nonsense, you’d better just get out of the way. As you know, I’m busy.]
[There’s no need to rush. The reason I contacted you this way is to make suggestions that may be helpful to you.]
[Speak up.]
[Would you like to become the new Demon King?]
[….]
There was silence for a moment.
[You’re talking bullshit.]
Mamon answered in an angry voice.
I contacted them in order to shake up the demons and they accepted.
[Giggles. I guess you misunderstood what I said. In your clan, you hold the rank of Grand Duke and at the same time are called the Demon King.]
[If you talk any more nonsense…]
Jormungand continued to speak, ignoring Mamon’s words.
[You and Asura. Aren’t they the ones closest to the rank of Archduke not only in the demon race but in the entire underworld? If you guys don’t achieve the level of a grand duke, you probably don’t know that the demon race has no chance whatsoever.]
[You talk easily. Why don’t you take care of your descendants?]
Jormungand chuckled at Mammon’s sarcasm.
[All of my family members are miserable. If the Sea Currents had the same characteristics as you, the Territory War would have ended long ago.]
Jormungandr’s words were a mockery of the fact that the demons had not yet swallowed the underworld despite possessing countless powers.
[I will help you achieve the rank of grand duke.]
Mamon chuckled at the absurd suggestion.
[How can the original demon trust you and take such a gamble?]
[The absolute ruler of the upper world. Odin.]
[…!!]
[With that guy’s power, it’s no wonder he can tear down the wall you couldn’t overcome on your own.] [
No way…]
[Yes. That’s right. I will lend you Odin’s runes.]
With his Odd Eye sparkling, Jormungand poured out a plan like a snake.
* * *
[My patience is not long.]
With those words, Odd Eye beyond the gate disappeared.
Mamon was lost in thought.
Odin’s runes.
With that mysterious power, it would not have been absurd to say that he and Asura could reach complete greatness.
However, it was discovered that the person who said that was Jormungand.
[I guess I should meet Asura.]
Mammon muttered and headed towards where Beelzebub was staying.
This is to check my lord’s condition once again before leaving.
The place where Beelzebub stays is the deepest level of the castle.
When we arrived there, we saw the undissolved bones of the highest level monsters at the entrance.
Even the newly placed demon-type monsters seemed to have perished as they could not withstand the miasma.
[Master, I will go in.]
Without waiting for an answer, I opened the huge entrance door.
Fuhuaak.
The poisonous air that had been blocked in the door attacked Mammon.
That miasma contained a power that no other great evil could have handled.
Mamon’s red eyes narrowed as he scanned the interior.
This is to find the invisible Beelzebub.
But that was only for a moment.
[…!!]
When he couldn’t see Beelzebub where he was supposed to be, his face became stiff.
[Why…]
My voice trembled without me realizing it.
It was not simply because of my lord who disappeared without a trace.
I can definitely feel the poisonous magic power.
[Kim Tae-hyun…!!]
It was human magic that would not be relieved even if chewed to death.
