Episode 461:
With his horns and tail already cut off by Gilfer, he was hit directly by the magic stone.
It was a pain that even the Grand Duke could not easily overcome.
Kak… Kahak… Kak….
Mamon let out a scream-like moan as the magic power was quickly being sucked out.
Every time I exhaled, I felt a decrease in strength, like a crash.
[Stop…Stop…]
Mamon let out with difficulty.
It wasn’t an order.
A noble being who was one of the great demons of ancient times and eventually became the Demon King, said to be the pinnacle of the species.
He is begging for his life.
“I am impatient. “It became a hassle because I accepted something like divine power for no reason.”
Rather, Taehyun criticized Mamon.
[The original master admits his mistake…]
“Stop talking nonsense and try to relax. “If I keep holding on like this, you’re the only one suffering?”
[The oath of obedience….]
“I don’t understand what you are saying.”
Tiring.
[Skill Energy Drain (???) has been strengthened.]
[Skill True Blood (???) has been strengthened.]
[Skill Great Devil’s Heart (???) has been strengthened.]
[Skill Heart of Demonic Beasts (???) has been strengthened.]
Taehyun has strengthened the skill that boasts the highest efficiency through absorption.
‘Image world’ and ‘Personal space’.
There is no need to use skills in this virtual space.
This is to focus more on absorbing Mammon’s magic and divine power at the same time.
Tsuzzzzzzzz.
As the absorption of magical power progressed, Mammon’s screams became more severe.
Gilper, who was watching, shook his head.
Kiiii-.
Kiiiii-.
Gigigigigi-.
The three rotating magic stones each made their own noise and were filled with the power that once belonged to Mammon.
[Kahak…!!]
Mamon’s body began to run away due to the one-sided absorption that could not be denied.
“This guy until the end….”
A different resistance than before.
Taehyun’s expression hardened.
This is because the energy leading the resistance was not simply magical power.
‘divine power.’
A stone block located next to Mammon’s magic stone.
There, a divine power that was incomparable to that of Valkyrie was unleashed.
Let’s compare their sizes.
‘Horus.’
It was comparable to his.
‘It’s absolute self-level divine power.’
There was no need to use ‘Ataraxia’.
Taehyun, who had experience with Valkyrie, quickly grasped the situation.
Odin’s runes.
And Jormungand.
‘It is dangerous to inject divine power into Gilper.’
Even Taehyun took a considerable amount of time to control the conflict between divine power and magical power.
I don’t know what tricks Mammon used.
If this power was imparted without any preparation, there was a high possibility of damaging one’s reputation.
There was only one way.
‘I absorb the divine power.’
Unlike before, three magic stones were enough, and Taehyun was also able to control divine power.
Even if a runaway occurs, it is not a problem as Rosaria will control the space.
The thought didn’t last long.
Tiring.
[The omen of skill evolution (???) has been strengthened.]
[‘Great power’ is awakened.]
Taehyun has strengthened his presence.
‘The harbinger of evolution’ is Gilfer’s power.
The effect only occurs with magical power.
The purpose was to strengthen the magical power and suppress the divine power that Mamon possessed.
‘Control with overwhelming power.’
The three magic stones rotated furiously.
The dark red magic power residing in the heart strengthened the three magic stones once again.
Tsuzzzzzzzz.
The demon king’s magical power contained in three magic stones.
In order to fully convey everything, Rosaria’s tentacles were opened.
“Get ready.”
In terms of large supply, it goes from Mephisto to Beelzebub.
This is the third time.
Gilper nodded at the familiar situation.
quaddddd.
The sixth horn that was not used even when fighting Mammon.
He unleashed his power of evolution with all his might, spreading his huge wings and tail and rotating the magic stone.
Mamon’s enormous magical power absorbed and refined by Taehyun.
This is to accept that power without shedding any of it.
and.
Phew!! Phew!! Kuduk!!
Taehyun stabbed the tentacles and thorns without hesitation.
It took a considerable amount of time to convey to the Demon King the karma of the former Demon King.
* * *
Tiring.
[Great power has been absorbed.]
[Holy power increases.]
[Magic power increases.]
Many other messages also came to mind.
The most noticeable change is that the total amount of spiritual power has increased.
If things continue like this, there might come a day when divine power surpasses magical power.
While thinking that, I looked at Gilper.
She seemed to have gone through more changes than Taehyun.
“The seventh horn.”
[purgatory. The culmination of the karma that Mammon has accumulated over a long period of time.]
An ancient archdemon born with desire.
She, who had abandoned her powers, now wields more powers than anyone else in the history of the demon race.
Gilpere’s expression looked bitter.
This is because each power contains the presence of brothers who were great dukes or were expected to grow into great powers.
Unlike Taehyun, who inherited his authority as a skill.
Because they have inherited the way they lived, various feelings come into play in a complex way.
Is that why?
“You look lonely. Would you like to come with me?”
Contrary to the original plan, Taehyun asked that question.
Gilfer shook his head.
[Brother. [The original demon is not as weak as you think.]
The sight of him speaking while showing his seven horns was so dependable.
“It’s done, Archduke Gilper.”
Taehyun said that and smiled.
[As planned, the main demon will unite the remaining demons. I don’t know how many great devils are alive, but it would be helpful to have at least one more.]
Following Beelzebub, both Mamon and Asura, who led the devil tribe, were extinct.
If they were not dealt with properly, there was a high possibility that the demon race would be eaten by other species or become extinct.
Gilfer declared his intention to rule the clan as the only demon king.
We also need time to melt away the power of Purgatory, where Mammon’s will remains strong.
“That’s a good excuse.”
Igmun was subdued and Mammon was destroyed.
The vampire race will follow the will of their king, just like the demon race and the dragon race, and the demon race will follow the rule of Gilfer, who becomes the only king.
[Everything is going according to the brothers’ plan. Is Jormungand next?]
Taehyun nodded.
[It won’t be easy for him.]
Jormungand’s reputation is terrible, even among the princes.
By working with Orgal to overthrow Typhon, and maintaining ties with the Upper World, he can overthrow the Lower World at any time.
He was different from the other great dukes whom Taehyeon was able to place under his feet due to their own interests or the logic of power.
‘It’s not impossible that the current contractual relationship is also what he was aiming for.’
[Personal space. [Why don’t you drag him there and get help from the Elven and Rosaria?]
If you do that, Taehyun won’t be at a disadvantage even under the conditions of the Demon Sea.
Gilper said so.
“okay. “You should prepare well.”
I felt the divine power that had become even greater after being absorbed from Mammon.
The two unmixed forces were seething as if they were about to collide at any moment.
‘Did Asmodeus control something like this?’
In the past, there was a time when Taehyeon could not obtain the full power of the Grand Duke.
I thought of another key that showed monstrous power.
No matter how strong he has become.
‘I am stronger now.’
There was no reason to be afraid of lizards that could not ascend to heaven.
“Should we hold Maharaja hostage?”
To my contractor’s mutterings.
[….]
The Demon King was silent.
* * *
Deep in the deepest part of the Abyss.
Horus and Anubis were making contact through the gate.
[Horus turned to Lucifer?]
[Yes. They would have made contact by now.]
[This is true. I don’t understand. A guy the size of Horus would make that kind of choice.]
Jormungand responded to Anubis’ information by saying he couldn’t understand it.
Lucifer does not like the Absolute of the upper world.
The proof was that Anubis, who met at the command of Osiris, almost died.
If Jormungand had not made a plan in advance, Anubis would have been sealed somewhere in Lucifer’s castle by now.
[Horus That guy is no better than a child among absolutes. However, Cheongan, who inherited a noble lineage, is special.] There
is no way that Lucifer, who does not like the Absolute, will miss his prey that came to him on his own.
Anubis said with confidence.
[Hoo. Did you do that on purpose? A kid named Horus. Didn’t you say he was your close friend?]
[There is no such thing as unconditional favor. Just like our relationship.]
Anubis’ blue eyes revealed behind the mask narrowed.
The Absolute of the Upper World and the Grand Duke of the Lower World joined hands.
This is because I am very satisfied with myself for achieving that situation.
[indeed. I really like that sound.]
[You’ll get injured, but if you’re as good as Horus, you’ll be able to escape somehow.] [
Step in and take the guy’s eye?]
[That’s right.]
Giggling.
Jormungand let out a mean laugh.
[What is the price?]
[Moon Eyes. Give me one of his eyes. I will give up the other one.]
[It’s expensive for the price of information.]
[…]
[But it’s good. It’s not a bad thing for me, so I’ll let you move.]
The Grand Duke and the Absolute.
They exchanged bitter glances.
[I heard bad rumors in the underworld?]
Anubis mentioned Taehyun’s actions.
This is because he, who is only a human, does not know that he is attracting the rulers of the Underworld.
[He seemed quiet recently, but he seems to have become more arrogant some time ago.]
[That’s probably true. I took the Eye of Ra from Horus.]
[…What?]
[Now that I think about it, I forgot to tell you the culprit of this incident.]
Taehyun reached the Upper Realm and took one of the Eyes of Ra that Horus possessed.
It is said that he took the ‘Eye of the Sun’.
In this way, they were able to lure Horus to the underworld.
Now is the opportunity for this guy to have two full moon eyes for the sun eyes.
[….]
Jormungand, who heard the whole story, was silent.
[Why do you do that?]
You stupid absolute bastard. Why are you saying that now?
Jormungand had a hard time suppressing his desire to say that.
Phew.
He took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
Ra was the master of the heavens.
At least if you can digest all the divine power contained in it.
[It would be possible to grow at once with absolute self-sufficiency.]
[There is no way a monster from the underworld could fully digest that power. You should know best, right?]
[Kim Tae-hyun is different from the main position. The power of the King of the Underworld is subject to many variables.]
[…We must hurry.]
Only then did Anubis’ voice subside as he recognized the seriousness of the situation.
On the other hand, Jormungand’s voice became lighter.
Taehyun Kim.
How far will the person you save grow?
I started to get excited once again due to the rising expectations.
[A well-ripened fruit is considered a delicacy when you pick it last and eat it.]
[You probably don’t know that it can then disappear.]
Anubis is the key to the King of the Upper World.
Asmodeus was mentioned.
Giggle, giggle, giggle.
[Two keys. A variable created by arrogant kings. Isn’t this also fun?]
[….]
Seeing Anubis remaining silent, Jormungand burst out laughing once again.
* * *
Anubis’ figure disappeared from the gate.
[The newborn absolute possessed the eyes of Ra…]
Jormungand chuckled to himself.
[This seat is an observer.]
A person who watches the changes in the lower world and the upper world.
therefore.
The one who will devour the changer in the end.
That was the reason why Rosaria did not touch it even after learning that it was planted by the Underworld King.
The same goes for keeping Taehyun alive even though he knew he had signed a contract with Rosaria.
But not anymore.
Kim Tae-hyun and Rosaria have already become strong enough to shake up the underworld.
[Now… how should we catch Horus?]
At that time, I was thinking of a way to quickly finish the plan before Taehyun comes.
[Mr. Jormungand.]
One of his highest ranking members approached.
[Hoo?]
Jormungand flashed his Odd Eye and admired it.
[Reporting… Why… are you like that?]
The lord’s gaze towards him was different from usual.
The highest-ranking member tilted his head and asked.
[How could it not be interesting?]
[…?]
[Aren’t you already dead?]
[What…]
Tsk tsk.
Jormungand clicked his tongue.
[Just show up now.]
At the same time as I said that.
Ugh.
The body of the family member turned into a maw of prey.
