Part 2, Episode 73
: Hell of Famine.
It refers to the realm of the ancient great devil Mamon.
Countless demons have gathered here where not a single blade of grass grows.
fluttering.
Gilper, with his wings folded, fell from the sky.
I landed easily and looked at the castle in front of me.
As Mammon has a significant relationship with the humans of Middle Earth, his aesthetic tastes also resemble those of Middle Earth.
Among the hundreds of castles built in the Hell of Famine, the one in front of you was a building used in a world that deals with the power called ‘Mana’.
In her enemy’s eye, she could see slaves of various species captured from not far away being mobilized to build a castle.
At that time, a mid-level demon under Mamon’s command approached and bowed its head.
[Welcome, Gilper. The master and brothers arrived first and are waiting for us.]
[….]
This is also one of Mamon’s bad tastes.
A mid-level demon who can’t even be used as a combatant is treated as nothing more than a servant.
Gilfer quietly followed the mid-level demon.
We arrived at a huge hall that could accommodate hundreds of people.
Hundreds of great devils, including ancient great devils, were seated in a circle.
They also look puzzled by Mamon’s unusual hobby, but for now, they seem to get along.
‘A lot of people have gathered.’
In a way, it is natural.
Three days have passed since Diablo and Beelzebub disappeared.
Since the fate of the demon race is at stake, a call-up order must have been sent to all the highest-level demons living on the 5th floor.
Rather, the news was delivered late to Gilper, who was staying on the 4th floor.
If the process of stabilizing power had been delayed by just one day, I would not have been able to attend this meeting.
Gilpere, who was seated on a crudely trimmed chair, looked around.
‘Are there some guys who have already achieved power?’
Ancient great demons under the command of demon kings.
Among them, those who were at the top in terms of presence have already started to rally the Great Devils.
The most notable one was Phaedo, who was under Diablo.
More than ten great devils were sitting around the guy who was considered to be no less powerful than Mammon.
[You’re late.]
A huge being sat down next to her and greeted her.
[Mephisto.]
[If it’s Mammon, he’ll be here soon. Asura… I guess he really isn’t going to come.]
Mephisto said that while looking at the empty seat next to me.
Asura.
It is no longer a secret that he who reached Harun betrayed the demon race and served humans.
[This is unbelievable. A human being can break that guy’s fighting spirit.]
[A contract between a succubus and a dream demon. He must have some special power that we don’t know about.]
[Yes. It’s a shame. A life where you have to live your whole life fighting for the one who submitted you.]
Mephisto clicked his tongue and mentioned the weakness of ‘struggle’.
Power is an excellent weapon, but it can also be a weakness in itself.
This fact is proven by the fact that Asura, who is crazy about battle, bows his head to a human who did not hesitate to call him an insect.
[Poor Asura. As soon as this meeting is concluded, I will free you from the bonds of fate.]
Giggle.
Mephisto licked his lips with his signature laugh.
His power is ‘soul’.
You can draw magical power from defeated monsters.
If he could take Asura’s soul, he would become an even greater being.
‘It’s dangerous.’
It reminds me of the calm before the storm, just before the Battle of Ten Thousand Demons.
If things continued like this, there might be a setback in his plans.
‘Perhaps this meeting too…’
Gilpere was making an ominous guess.
[It looks like enough people have gathered.]
The host, Mamon, came in.
Humanoid. In Middle Earth, he was polymorphed into a demon, and came to sit next to Gilfer.
[You must have been bored waiting, so let’s get straight to the point. The reason why the original demon has prepared the current position is to discuss the future of the demon race.]
Beelzebub and Diablo were appointed as demon kings after the Battle of Ten Demons.
It once again confirmed the disappearance of great beings.
[The good news is that the power of the two extinct brothers still remains in all of us.]
Purple magic suddenly bloomed from Mammon’s body.
Beelzebub’s power ‘poison’.
It was a power I accepted when I came under his command a while ago.
[The same goes for you, right?]
Mammon asked, looking at Phaedo.
[Yes.]
Phaedon radiated red magic power as if roaring.
The ‘fear’ subsides in the area and the air becomes cold.
Unlike poison, fear is an abstract force.
With the disappearance of Diarlo, his power was somewhat weakened, but it was still a power that transcended the category of ancient great devils.
[We, the demon race, are still at war with the fairies. Therefore, the main demon wants to select a new demon king to lead the species.]
Mamon glanced at the demons gathered in the hall as if seeking consent.
There were some high-level ancient archdemons who survived the Elven bombing the other day, but most of them were mid-level or lower ancient archdemons.
And among them, the one with the greatest power is Phaedo.
[Funny Mamon. Did I reveal my ambition by saying that I came all the way here and then brought it out?]
[The original demon has never said that he will become the Demon King yet.]
[You and Mephisto here. And is there anyone who doesn’t know that the original demon is of the highest rank?]
Asura. Gorfer. Barbatos. Naberius Diamante Zenas, etc.
Among the demons, the famous great demons have disappeared or betrayed themselves.
Among those here, Mammon Mephisto Phaedon was the closest to the Demon King.
In the midst of all this, Mamon is talking about deciding on a new demon king.
[Phaidon. You don’t want to become a demon king.]
[That can’t be possible. I’m just saying that now is not a good time.]
The demon world that was partially transferred to Arun and Harun was destroyed by the Elven attack.
Likewise, many great demons and armies also lost their lives due to the resistance of the fairies.
Up to this point, it was as if the demon race had been defeated.
[Then let’s end the war with the fairies like this?]
[No. The original horse proposes an alliance with another race. Orgal and Jormungand. Those guys will be able to communicate with each other.]
Several archdemons agreed with Phaedo’s words.
This is because the Demon Beasts and Sea Currents have a good compatibility with the Demons.
[Igmun of the vampires wouldn’t be bad either. Since he is not on good terms with the Succubus Queen, negotiations may be possible under the pretext of handing over the territory and the right to dispose of the species.]
Phaedon also brought up some practical ideas.
As the conversation continued, the number of demons sympathizing with Phaedo increased.
Mephisto, who was watching quietly, burst into laughter.
[Phaidon. You are as fearful as ever.]
[Watch your mouth, Mephisto. The original demon is for the future of the demon race….]
[For the future of the demon race, let’s save our lives by joining hands with baseless things? After that, shall we elect a new Demon King? Giggling… You’re so good at talking like an idiot. The nickname ‘Awe’ is a shame.]
Mephisto sneered.
This is because he did not know that he used his power to subdue low-level demons.
Phaedo sighed.
[How long are you going to keep pushing with force? [The original demon will create a new demon world centered on the Mukyeong Hell.]
Instead of shedding blood like in the Battle of Ten Thousand Demons, a new demon world will be created in a peaceful way.
Phaedon presented a new path for the demons to follow.
This time Mamon shook his head.
[That cannot be permitted.]
[The original demon is no longer a being that receives anyone’s permission. Mamon.]
Moment.
Wow.
Purple and red magic bloomed from Mammon’s body.
It was the power of Beelzebub and Diablo.
[…!!]
[No, your ideal will not come true.]
[Of course, there is no need to ask for permission.]
Mephisto continued, and similarly unleashed two magical powers.
[Do you still think we are equal?]
[Giggles.]
Phaedon’s face stiffened at the overwhelming power of Mammon and Mephisto.
how?
Why are those under Beelzebub able to use fear?
Let the unanswered questions linger for a moment.
‘The situation is not good.’
To the extent that Phaidon followed Diablo, he was the type of person who moved based on reason rather than instinct.
[For now… I will follow your opinions.]
[I think the conversation will finally work now.]
[Giggles. There is no need to bleed the original demon’s thorns.]
Between the two great devils who instantly overwhelmed the atmosphere.
[….]
Gilper was silent.
* * *
“Not bad.”
Taehyun muttered as he looked at his status window.
The awakening level changed from ‘SSS’ to ‘???’.
The skills he naturally had were ‘Queen’s Domain’, ‘Queen’s Command’, ‘Space Jump’, and ‘Fairy King’s Protection’. ‘ It was also changed to ‘?’.
‘Predation’ is still unusable, ‘Dream Preparation’ can be used in a limited way, and ‘Pandora’s Box’ cannot be unlocked. It would be false if it wasn’t regrettable, but now I just feel like I’ve regained
this much power. He would have to be satisfied.
Taehyun raised his index finger.
Cheeeee…
Purple magic power. Poisonous magic power bloomed and a poison bloomed in the area. He raised
another index finger.
Saaaaa-.
Red magic power. Spooky magic power bloomed. As it rises, morale spreads throughout the area.
The previous battle made it possible to shut down the magic power of Beelzebub and Diablo. It is
unfortunate that their powers were not registered as skills, but it is fortunate that they were able to imitate them like this
. Doppel will be able to use it more freely.’
I laughed out loud as I thought that perhaps the analysis of the magic power of the two demon kings might have been completed by now.
‘How did I survive from a guy like that…’
Taehyun shook his head and lost his thoughts.
Now, he is a doppelganger . Rather, it is time to think about the future.
Three days have passed since the Demon King was captured and the Elven assimilated with the main body of the Divine Beast and destroyed the transferred demon world.
She was currently assimilated with the Divine Beast and was in the state of recovery, and Taehyun was almost completely discharged. He was claiming to be her guardian.
His original power was restored through great supply, and he was able to assimilate with the divine beast and command the three spirit kings. That’s
why he was sitting alone against the main body of the divine beast.
[Rosaria is late. ]
An Elven’s voice was heard in Taehyeon’s head.
Rosaria is currently concentrating on directly assessing the situation of other Archdukes on behalf of the Elven who has difficulty moving.
“Because her spatial leap is also limited. How long has it been since she recovered? ?”
[It’s about 20%.]
“It’s slow.”
[Do you think destroying the demon world is easy?]
“Well, that’s right.”
[Normally, I would nag, but since the contractor is the one who stands at the top of this universe, I will make sure Bonyo understands.]
“You have changed a lot, too.”
[It was like XXX, with the same amount of information flooding in, and it was repeated for XX hours. It would be strange if it didn’t change.] “It
seems like the parts that haven’t changed are also clear.”
[XX Stop making clumsy puns. What does Asura plan to do more than that?]
She mentioned the Great Demon of Struggle who resides beyond Harun’s veil.
Asura catches three more approaching Great Demons and threatens Taehyun. Showed loyalty:
“Well. “I would like to raise him to be a grand duke.”
[What about Gilper?]
“At the moment, I can’t tell if it’s an enemy or an ally.”
[It’s frustrating. She also showed a good performance as the King of the Underworld.]
Unlike Rosaria, the Elven and Gilfer did not return after extinction.
As the winners of the tribal war, they took charge of the upper and lower worlds after Taehyeon, and played that role excellently.
[Are you regaining your strength?]
“That’s right. The reason I can’t tell you is because I’m restricted in many ways. Moreover, I haven’t even been able to properly confirm where the timeline got twisted.”
Taehyun sighed and thought of the Chinese zodiac and Tolkien’s face once again. It is
still not clear how much the timeline has been twisted or why there is no limit to his growth on the 5th floor. There is more to
Taehyun than the yoma war in front of him . It was an urgent matter.
[You, too, have a very strange life.]
“I sympathize with you.”
While Taehyun and the Elven were talking like that.
Whoa. Whoa.
The space split and Rosaria appeared.
[Contractor Elven. We’re in big trouble.]
Rosaria, who was tired from continuous space movement, spoke in a firm voice.
[Rosaria. There’s nothing to get excited about. Most things aren’t surprising anymore.]
“Okay. Let’s hear it.”
Rosaria shook her head and opened her mouth at the calm reaction of her colleagues.
[The Demon Beast King was defeated.]
At the unexpected news.
“What…?”
[What the fuck?]
Embarrassed Taehyun and Elven asked back without realizing it.
