Part 2 Episode 60
[There’s not much left now.]
The man who was watching Harun’s barrier from afar muttered.
The ancient archdemon Barbatos.
He was otherwise called the great devil of ‘existence’.
[They say it’s a village the Fairy King cherishes. I think I know the reason.]
Beyond the colorless barrier.
I see a huge tall tree.
Bonsai.
It is the second largest and most powerful beast among the fairy villages.
Even though I am far away, I feel like I am suffocating.
I felt a presence that could purify even me if I approached it without any preparation.
[How much bigger is Arun…]
Barbatos glanced at the bonsai with eyes full of greed and desire.
It’s crazy to think that if you can control only bonsai, you can become the devil king.
[….]
He shook his head.
That’s right, it’s not even the main body, it’s a bonsai.
If you can take over the main body of a divine beast, you can create multiple demon kings.
[You can’t miss the big things by coveting the small things.]
That’s why the five ancient great devils who moved together are preparing to transfer to the Demon World.
Barbatos managed to suppress his desire.
If the demon world is transferred, the bonsai quickly loses its power.
Arun and Harun are geographically closely related to the main body of the divine beast.
If the two villages fall, the Elven will not be able to sit idly by like they do now.
[Elven. I still get chills when I think about that crazy bitch.] It would
not be strange to call the Spirit Kings the great dukes of the spirit world.
Even if they manifest only a portion of their power, they are equivalent to the ancient great devils, but Elven is a monster that has made a contract with more than ten entities.
‘We must conserve as much power as possible until we hunt the crazy monster.’
I don’t know about Beelzebub.
Diablo believes that the Fairy King’s power can annihilate the demon race.
Barbatos also had the same thought.
He thought of a fairy king he had encountered in the past.
White skin, pure white hair, and red eyes curved like a crescent moon.
On the outside, there is no significant difference from ordinary fairies.
The difference is more bold speech and authority.
The power of ‘anti-magical power’.
You can strengthen your body by surrounding yourself with magical energy, tear apart space, and destroy huge areas in the blink of an eye.
When it came to using magical power, the Fairy King was the one who would give even the Grand Dukes credit.
A clear example of this is the incident where many of the ancient great devils were torn apart even though they were not assimilated with the divine beast.
Her power of existence assimilated with Shinsu.
[It is clearly superior to the demon kings.]
This was the reason why the demon kings did not move directly but moved the great demons to attack the fairies.
And now the realization of that plan was just around the corner.
Thanks to the recruited Great Demons, the transfer speed has become much faster.
[Diamante’s death helps in this way.]
Barbatos recalled the conversation he had with Diablo a little while ago.
[Be careful, brother.]
It was a remark unbecoming of a being called ‘fear.’
Moreover, the target is the contract of the Succubus Queen and the Vampire Lord.
It was advice that a normal ancient archdemon would have laughed off.
but.
Barbatos knows Diablo’s personality better than anyone else.
I watched how ‘fear’ and ‘poison’ brought down countless brothers and ascended to the position of demon king.
They are so thorough that they imprint fear into their minds.
A cold feeling that seems to freeze just by making eye contact.
That’s where the horror is truly scary.
Even if you leave them all aside.
‘The fear in Diamante’s mind has been subdued.’
Even if only a part of it is magical power imbued with the devil king’s thoughts.
These were not things that a human imitating the Archduke’s power could endure.
‘There is something.’
That alone is reason enough to be careful of these two humans.
‘I ordered his capture alive, so I must follow my brother’s wishes.’
Barbatos opened his horns and two pairs of tail wings.
He radiated red magic power and watched Harun’s barrier.
There are two elders in Harun.
Elliot and Farsitet.
A powerful person who signed a contract with the Spirit King of Earth and Rain, respectively.
That’s right, it’s enough to tie up three ancient arch-demons.
When his magic touched Harun’s tent, sparks erupted.
Magical power turns into smoke and scatters.
This is because of the barrier strengthened through bonsai.
If you tried to force your way in, even if you were an ancient archdemon, you would have to risk extinction.
How long has it been since the magic that touched the barrier dissipated?
Several letters appeared before my eyes.
It could be a number or a symbol, but it was a language of a system that only he could understand.
The power of ‘existence’ can quantify the existence of things it touches in its own language.
This is also the reason why he was dispatched to Harun, the most important battlefield.
[….]
After checking the numbers, Barbatos’ red eyes twitched.
Unlike the day before, there is a change in the numbers.
The range of change is greater than expected.
At least….
‘One more elder has been added?’
Except for the Elven, they probably don’t have the ability to move through space.
With the barrier surrounded, it would not have been possible to go in and out directly.
Other villages would also be under siege and would not have the power to move the elders.
Questions follow one after another.
When you’re thinking like that.
The numbers in front of me fluctuated once again.
Two elders…
Harun’s presence increases to the point where it would not be insufficient even if three elders were added.
It wasn’t a temporary change.
The increased presence is being maintained stably.
‘Did these people collectively make a contract with the Spirit King?’
The Spirit King would not be a being that could be contracted so easily.
However, the changes taking place before our eyes are difficult to explain unless we are at the level of the Spirit King.
‘It’s perfect timing.’
The transition to the demon world is coming soon.
At the current power level, the power gap between the fairies and demons is greatly reduced.
If the ancient great demons were stranded while dealing with the Spirit King, the blood loss for the demon race would be significant.
‘What on earth happened?’
It’s time to think about unanswered questions.
A huge presence is sensed approaching from afar.
After about 5 minutes, a large object fell from the red sky.
Asura, the great evil of ‘struggle’.
As long as his fighting spirit is not broken, he has the most aggressive personality among the great devils whose magical power gradually becomes stronger.
thud.
Asura landed roughly and showed his ferocious spirit.
[Barbatos. Are you wasting your time using this much power?]
[Asura. What are you doing here?]
[Clark. [ It’s not like
we’re talking about laughing.]
Barbatos said, frowning.
Beelzebub and Diablo.
Just as the two kings have different personalities, the personalities of the archdemons who inherited their magical powers are also different.
In that respect, Asura, who was crazy about battle, was a beast that could not understand words.
[Why is this guy who should be in Arun here? Wouldn’t that be a waste of the power of one arch-demon?]
[Two humans were chasing them.]
[Humans?]
[Yes. There is no doubt that it was confirmed through ‘tracking’.]
Diamante’s disappearance and Diablo’s orders naturally came to mind.
[Is this a contract between the demon and the vampire who destroyed Diamante?…]
[Hoo. It was true that this guy disappeared. So, where did you see him?]
Asura thrust his massive body towards him, urging him to answer.
The distance was so close that if Barbatos hadn’t turned his head, he would have been stabbed by the vicious horn.
He widened the distance and pointed to the barrier with his chin.
[I’ve already confirmed that Harun’s presence has changed a little while ago. If what you say is correct, it seems like they are the cause.]
[Are you saying they just let it go into the barrier? You idiot…]
Asura gritted his teeth and flashed his red eyes.
It wouldn’t be surprising if the battle started right away.
‘This idiot can’t even distinguish between friend and enemy.’
I was momentarily embarrassed by the thoughtless action, but quickly regained my composure.
This is because I know that it would be foolish to lose strength ahead of a major event.
Now that it has found its prey, it will not want to leave easily.
‘Now that things are like this, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to use Asura.’
After finishing his thoughts for a moment, Barbatos opened his mouth.
[If you heard the news that Diamante was killed, don’t you know that moving without thinking is dangerous?] [
Click… The main horse is not as weak as you guys.]
[You need to be careful. ]
I continued speaking without paying attention to the way Barbatos was mocking me.
[Even four guys can’t break through Harun’s barrier. This is why Mammon and Mephisto in Arun are devoting their time to the task of transferring to the demon world.]
[There is no need to talk at length. What do you want to say?]
[Bonma has a plan. By capturing human contractors, you can raise your fighting spirit.]
In Barbatos’s next words.
Smirk.
The corner of Asura’s mouth was torn.
* * *
Tiring.
[Skill ‘Fairy King’s Protection (SSS)’ has been activated.]
[Assimilates with a huge being.]
[Skill ‘Fairy King’s Protection (SSS)’ has been strengthened.]
[Magic power consumption is accelerated.]
‘Magic power I think this is enough…’
Taehyun, who had assimilated the bonsai, activated the newly registered skills.
Tiring.
[Summoning skill ‘Spirit King Igrit (SSS)’ has been activated.]
[Summoning skill ‘Spirit King Zenki (SSS)’ has been activated.]
[Summoning skill ‘Spirit King Varanos (SSS)’ has been activated.]
I am out of magic . With a feeling of exhaustion, the three spirit kings appeared in Harun.
“Please say hello. Igrit, the Spirit King of Fire. Zenki, the Spirit King of Lightning. “I am Baranos, the Spirit King of Wind.”
Elliot and Passit bowed their heads politely at Taehyun’s words.
[Harun’s first elder, Elliot, greets the three spirit kings.]
[Harun’s second elder, Pashit, bows to the three spirit kings.]
The three spirit kings nodded to the polite greetings of the elders.
[They are Glond and Asa’s contractors.]
[They are well-mannered children.]
[There is no need to be polite to me. I have a comfortable conversation with Feros.]
The three spirit kings answered with solemn expressions.
The two elders nodded in agreement.
[I was surprised to hear that all three of you had signed a contract.]
[It just happened to be like that.]
Igrit said with an embarrassed expression and Zenki slightly averted his gaze.
A spirit king who was devoured while checking for mediators?
This is because he did not know that if this rumor became known to other Spirit Kings, it would become a subject of ridicule.
[Once Harun and Arun fell, wasn’t it the main body of the divine beast? It just so happened that the Elven contractor had a good connection, so we signed a contract of trust.]
Varanos nodded with a solemn smile.
I said this because I thought Elliot and Pasitet didn’t know the process of their contract.
[I see…]
[I am just grateful for the spirit kings’ love for the fairy race…]
The two elders who knew the truth answered while trying to control their expressions.
[So, Taehyun Kim. Why did you summon us?]
[It’s not an obvious idea to have us say hello to the elders, is it?]
Igrit and Zenki asked ticklingly.
They were relieving the humiliation they suffered at the hands of their doppelgänger to their contractor, Taehyun.
Of course, Taehyun didn’t pay any attention.
“It would have been nice if it was for such a trivial reason. Unfortunately, it is not.”
Taehyun looked beyond the barrier.
A scam created by demons.
And for a moment, my skin tingles as my spirit becomes stronger.
“The war will start soon.”
